Chapter Ninety-Six: Departure
Mu Yu held Xie Chongning's weight and said worriedly, "Since you are not feeling well, don't get out of bed, I'll be outside." ”
Xie Chongning's eyes fell on Ah Yun, who was busy with money in the stove, his face was gloomy, but he didn't speak.
"Ayun is very good, you don't have to worry, your wounds, and our food are all given to us by Ayun." Mu Yu glanced at Ah Yun's busy figure and said with a smile.
"It is indispensable to guard against others."
Mu Yu shook his head, "Ah Yun has been in this valley since he was a child, he has never gone out, his temperament is like a child, and he has always regarded me as a sister." ”
When she first met Ah Yun, she was also full of defense, but after getting along with Ah Yun yesterday, she found that Ah Yun was really simple and enthusiastic.
Xie Chongning saw that his persuasion was refuted, his face was even more ugly, and his thin lips were closed.
Because he was seriously injured, he could only lie in bed all day and couldn't go anywhere, but he heard Ah Yun outside shouting Mu Yu's name from time to time, extremely intimate.
For Ah Yun, it's like a child who has been bored for a long time, and he suddenly finds a playmate, he can't put it down, and he has to share everything with Mu Yu.
Mu Yu has also been responding to Ah Yun, and the whispers of the two can always reach Xie Chongning's ears, making him feel irritable the more he listens to it.
Although the mood was irritable, but the wound was healed quickly, and soon the back was scabbed, and he could move around a little, Mu Yu didn't let him go too far, so he put a stool at the door, and if he wanted to come out to "bask in the sun", he would sit on the stool.
Every day, Xie Chongning sat on the stool with a cold face, watching Mu Yu and Ah Yun have fun.
And Ah Yun's conversation and behavior for many days have been observed by Xie Chongning scene by scene, and finally Xie Chongning also believed in his life experience, although the vigilance was slowly let down, but Xie Chongning always had some mustard in his heart.
"Mu Yu, we were lucky today, we finally had fish to eat!" Ah Yun was carrying two big fish that were jumping around, and he was very proud to shake them in front of Mu Yu.
Mu Yu had already caught Ah Yun's temperament, and praised with a smile, "Ah Yun is so powerful, he can even catch fish, how did you catch it?" ”
Although Ah Yun is a child psychologically, he is also a young man in appearance, such a compliment may not be felt by Mu Yu and Ah Yun, but in Xie Chongning's eyes, it is not the same thing.
Xie Chongning stared intently at the two live fish without saying a word.
After a few days, Mu Yu had long been familiar with Xie Chongning's attitude, she thought that Xie Chongning was in a bad mood because he was injured and couldn't move.
Man, don't look at the age, but there is a child in the body, Mu Yu coaxed Ah Yun, turned his head and wanted to coax Xie Chongning, who was sulking alone, "Brother Xie, we have fish to eat today, and your wounds will heal faster." ”
Xie Chongning nodded, his expression slightly narrowed.
Mu Yu shook his head, stood aside and watched Ah Yun deal with the two big fish, there was no seasoning in the valley, not to mention oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, not even green onion and ginger, which could dispose of the internal organs of the fish, and then use the meat oil that Ah Yun had accumulated before to fry it slightly, put some water, and it became a pot of soup.
The taste is naturally unpalatable, if it was such a difficult thing to swallow before, Mu Yu must have hesitated for a long time before he was willing to put it in his mouth, but before she had the feeling of being hungry, now she can eat it, and she is not picky about the clear soup and low water.
The fish soup without salt and sugar was ready, and as soon as it reached the bowl, a white pigeon fell on the table, with a snow-white body, a red mouth and red claws, and a note tied to the paws.
Ah Yun laughed excitedly, "Quick, grab this pigeon, we can roast the pigeon." ”
Xie Chongning moved a step faster than Ah Yun, and grabbed the pigeon before Ah Yun pounced on the table, but he took the note from the pigeon's leg and let the pigeon go.
Ah Yun pouted in frustration and whispered, "Why did you grab the pigeon and let it go, the pigeon meat is delicious." ”
Mu Yu caught a glimpse of the note on the pigeon's leg, stood aside and comforted, "Ah Yun, that's not for carrier pigeons." ”
But it seems that this carrier pigeon is Xie Chongning's carrier pigeon, Ah Yun has no paper and pen here, I don't know if I can notify the people outside and let them come to the rescue.
Xie Chongning read the note calmly, and his voice was a little undetectable brisk, "They have already come to us, and they will be able to meet us in a few days." ”
"Them?" Mu Yu's eyes widened with joy, "Brother Xie, when did you notify the outside?" ”
"Two days ago." Xie Chongning explained casually.
Although he didn't know how Xie Chongning got in touch with the outside, but at the thought that they were about to leave this valley that had not seen the light of day, Mu Yu was in a much happier mood, and even the bowl of fish soup without salt and fishy smell in the bowl was exceptionally delicious.
Ah Yun stood quietly by the stove, with his back to them, poking the coal in the furnace with the wood in his hand, and it seemed that he was not in a good mood.
"Ah Yun, come and drink fish soup, didn't you say that you like fish soup the most?" Mu Yu could only see Ah Yun's back, but could not see his movements.
"Fish soup is not tasty." Ah Yun said sullenly.
"What's wrong? I think the fish soup you made is quite delicious. Mu Yu was puzzled.
Ah Yun pouted and hurriedly walked to the table, his eyes were red, and tears were rolling in his eyes, "Are you leaving, leaving me alone in the valley again." ”
Mu Yu was slightly stunned, glanced at Xie Chongning with some guilt, and wanted to ask for help, but Xie Chongning drank the fish soup indifferently, everything had nothing to do with him.
"Ah Yun, you also know that we accidentally fell from above to the bottom of the cliff, so naturally we want to go back......"
"I don't want you to go back, can't you stay with me? I'm so lonely here. Ah Yun said aggrievedly, and his tears were even more turbulent.
Xie Chongning glanced coldly at the tears that fell on the table, "No one can accompany you all the time." ”
Where did Ah Yun understand Xie Chongning's words, he only knew that they were leaving, and the more he thought about it, the more sad he became, and finally sat on the ground and rolled around.
"Ah Yun, it's cold on the ground, you get up quickly, and you have to wash your clothes when your clothes are dirty." Mu Yu was extremely embarrassed, it must be impossible to stay here, and no matter how much Ah Yun cried, she would never agree.
"If you don't go, I'll get up."
Mu Yu bit his lip and his heart sank, "I know, you get up first, and then listen to me tell you." ”
Seeing that there was still room for negotiation, Ah Yun stopped crying, and looked up at Mu Yu with tears in his eyes, but he didn't stand up, "You speak first." ”
"Hey." Mu Yu sighed helplessly, "The two of us still have things to do, and we can't stay in this valley, but if you are willing to go out, you can go to my house." ”
"Nope."
Before Ah Yun could answer, Xie Chongning refused coldly.
Mu Yu and Ah Yun were stunned at the same time, and looked at Xie Chongning in unison, Ah Yun flattened his mouth and asked unconvinced, "Why not, I promise, I can go to your house." ”
Xie Chongning glanced coldly at Ah Yun, who was sitting on the ground, and said to Mu Yu, "Even if he is just a child in mind, others don't know, what will others think when he returns home with such a big man?" ”
Mu Yu blinked, she didn't expect this, she subconsciously only regarded Ah Yun as a child, and she didn't think about it at all, "Then what did Brother Xie say?" ”
She didn't dare to let Ah Yun go to Xie Chongning, these days she has more or less seen that Xie Chongning does not hesitate to Ah Yun, he is originally a quiet person, and Ah Yun is a noisy child, always looking for someone to play with, if Ah Yun arrives at Xie Chongning's house, he must not be annoyed to death.
Ah Yun looked at Xie Chongning intently, the corners of his mouth curved downward, as if Xie Chongning couldn't say a good solution, he could cry immediately.
After being silent for a long time, Xie Chongning said coldly, "Let him go to my house." ”
Mu Yu's eyes widened in disbelief, Xie Chongning actually made concessions? "Brother Xie, Ah Yun, he is noisy, you are so quiet, it is inappropriate for him to be in your house."
"It's even more inappropriate to go to your house." Xie Chongning said in a deep voice.
Indeed, in the end, in the midst of Ah Yun's cheers, the two ended the conversation like this.
On the second day, there was a slight amount of sky, and there was a noisy footstep at the door, and Mu Yu subconsciously woke up from his sleep, only to find that Xie Chongning had already dressed up and walked to the door.
"What's wrong? What's going on out there? ”
"My man has arrived." Xie Chongning straightened his already neat clothes and walked out of the house.
"Young Master!" Xie Yu stepped forward excitedly, he has been running a horse farm in the south for the past few days, and there is no fixed place to run around, but a few days ago, he suddenly received a carrier pigeon from the young master asking for help, so he rushed to the rescue.
Now that I have seen the young master, Xie Yu is at ease.
Master? Mu Yu sat in the middle of the room and tidied up his clothes, and walked to the door, but there was an unknown person in front of him, calling Young Master Xie Chongning.
Xie Chongning's servants have always called him an adult or master, and no one has ever called him a young master, if he is not from his hometown, there is no reason to call Xie Chongning a young master.
It's just that her doubts only stayed in her mind and didn't ask.
Xie Yu saw Mu Yu at the door, and also saluted in a proper manner.
Mu Yu didn't want to ask too much, so he nodded politely and gave up.
"Young master, I have brought a lot of people and horses, and I will be able to escort you and Miss Mu to Nanxun safely, and the carriage is ready, when will you be on the road?" Xie Yu asked respectfully.
"Let's go."
The two fell off the cliff, and there was no package to speak of, and there was no problem with setting off immediately, Mu Yu hesitated, glanced at Ah Yun, who was sleeping on the newly made rattan couch, and didn't know how to speak for a while.
Fortunately, Xie Chongning was not prepared to pretend to be deaf and dumb and refused to admit the account, and instructed Xie Yu, "If the person in the house wakes up, you send someone to send him back to my mansion." ”
Xie Yu left someone at the door of Ayun's bamboo house, and led Xie Chongning and Mu Yu towards the outside of the valley.
The valley was so narrow that ordinary carriages could not get in, so they had to hike to a wide area outside to get into the carriages.
The road is winding and winding, and it is very difficult to walk, if it weren't for Xie Yu's marking when he groped into the valley, I was afraid that they would get lost in the valley.
