Chapter Eighty-Nine: Returning from the Burning Garden
It was too cold outside, so Zuo Qi took her to a quiet hall with incense to talk to her. Zhu Yi cried and cried, and made trouble, but he never saw the man completely lose his patience, so he simply asked the other party's purpose bluntly.
In order not to let her feel pressured, the man just looked at her gently, not daring to stare too seriously, he said: "It's me who is dull, belated, and when you are better, can you move back to the village?" ”
The timing of his words was so ridiculous that of course Zhu Yi shook his head, "You don't have to clean up the mess." I carry my own business. ”
Hearing her say "mess", the man couldn't help but grab her hand, and the two hands with a slightly larger temperature difference touched, so frightened that Zhu Yi hurriedly shook it off.
"Maybe this is God's punishment for me, until I am about to lose, I want to grab you hard, heh, I inflict it on myself." Zuo Chu laughed at himself in a low voice.
Zhu Yi thought for a moment, didn't look at the person opposite, and said, "If Brother Chulin hadn't died, you wouldn't feel guilty." If I hadn't been ......," his eyes flushed with sourness, "you wouldn't have said that at all." You just pity me, pity me for losing my relatives and losing my body. Coincidentally, you can't punish the person you love and her sister who made a mistake, so you feel guilty and uneasy. ”
She looked up and looked at Zuo Chu with a frown.
Zuo Chu wanted to wipe away the tears on her cheeks for her, but she avoided her. The man whispered, "I do feel guilty about your brother, but I don't feel that way for you. Zhu Yi," he rarely called her name directly, and his lips and teeth were soft when he read these two words, "I plan to take Gu for Xiyuan, because I completely gave up this relationship that ended without a problem." I didn't intend to show you my heart so quickly, for fear that it would be too abrupt and make you uncomfortable. But after the tragedy, you are bent on leaving, and if I had not intended for you, I would not have opened my mouth to add to your troubles. ”
What's the use of saying so much, Zhu Yi clearly didn't listen, "Mr. Zhu, you are a good person." She said seriously, "But I don't need to be cared for by good people, in the end, you are nothing more than self-blame." But I don't want to live in your meaningless confession. Because the ones who really deserve to blame themselves and atone for their sins are the sisters! ”
When the topic came to this, the atmosphere was obviously tense, and Zhu Yi gritted her teeth, "I won't take Gu for her, you go find Miss Bai Ying." In this life, I don't want to see Song Xiyuan and Song Dongchen again! ”
"I really don't want to miss your ......"
"Then I am also true, and I do not want to accept your mercy."
The conversation between the two in the room was inaudible to outsiders, but Wen Xi saw Zuo Chu coming out of the room, his face was extremely bad, and he also knew that there must be discrepancies in the conversation.
After several unsuccessful discussions, Zhu Yi spent it with him.
Because of the lack of silver, there is no way to just leave. Qiu Shui went to the bazaar to sell Gu medicine, but his income was meager. This stretched, Zhu Yi remembered that on the day he planted Gu for Song Xiyuan, he should have blackmailed Zuo Qi fiercely.
It's not as "stingy" as he is now.
No, she had to cheer up and go to the market to sell Gu for two days. Fortunately, she has a lot of regular customers, but she also bought a little more silver.
Lu Mai and Huan Qi were playful, and when they went to the city to drink, they ran into Zhu Yi, who they hadn't seen for many days.
They naturally knew what happened to Zhu Yi, but fortunately, Zuo Chu had always explicitly forbidden these two people to go to Jinyuan, so as not to cause further harm to Zhu Yi.
Huan Qi greeted Zhu Yi awkwardly, and Zhu Yi nodded in return.
Thinking of Song Dongchen, who had made a lot of trouble in the village before, Lu Mai said, "If you are crazy and dirty, do you still expect the owner of the village to take a fancy to it?" ”
Huan Qi was so busy covering Lu Mai's mouth that it was useless. The money bag in Zhu Yi's hand suddenly fell to the ground, the copper coins and broken silver fell, she looked at Lu Mai with her black and bright apricot eyes, her lips trembled, and there was no sound for a long time.
Lu Mai was furious by her, and at the same time regretted what he had just said, Huan Qi hurriedly touched him again, he wanted to change his words, but he only called "West Divorce", and he didn't know what to say.
Zhu Yi's eyes were red, he nodded again, and squatted down to pick up the scattered coins. Before she finished picking it up, her hands were shaking more and more, and she simply didn't want it. Seeing that she turned around and left like a desert, Huan Qi hurriedly picked up the rest and chased after her. Zhu Yi didn't dare to look at him, so he grabbed him and left.
Whether the people behind her continued to despise or genuinely remorse, she didn't have the guts to guess.
Fortunately, Zhu Yi did not collapse that day, and by suppressing himself over and over again, he even endured the most difficult period.
After that, Wen Xi was gradually able to appear directly in front of her. Occasionally, she can take the initiative to talk to Wen Xi. Wen Xi seized the opportunity to enlighten and encourage her.
Zhu Yi would listen with a smile, trying to find out which of those words would really heal the festering corners of her heart.
It's been a while since December, Xia Cong's breathing is so little that no amount of heater placed next to her bed is useless. Zhu Yi was ready, she asked Qiu Shui to buy two jars, and discussed how to leave.
The two of them privately packed some thick clothes and a small amount of silver, as well as the ashes altar they had first visited. When Qiu Shui contacted the carriage, Zhu Yi picked up the day to make plans.
That night, she was lying on the side of Xia Cong's bed and talking, talking nonsense for a long time. The person on the bed suddenly left two lines of tears, and the chattering person was surprised to think that she was going to wake up, but after waiting for a long time, he found that she was gradually losing her breath.
The long-awaited expectations were disappointed, and Zhu Yi looked at Xia Cong quietly without any sound.
In the middle of the ring, she grabbed Xia Cong's hand and shook it again, and then gave up.
She extinguished all heat sources in the room and temporarily kept Xia Cong's body.
The next day, Wen Xi came to take care of the patient as usual, and Zhu Yi pretended to wake up from a nightmare, crying and asking her to ask Zuo Qi to come over. Wen Xi saw that she finally took the initiative to find the owner of the village, and happily returned to the village.
Wen Xifang came out of Jinyuan, and Zhu Yi was noisily asking Qiu Shui to buy something. Qiu Shui called away a few shadows on the grounds that he couldn't take it. As a result, no one was staring at her except for a few lazy subordinates at the gate.
After everyone left, she went to Xia Cong's room. Xia Cong was already stiff, Zhu Yi folded his hands and bowed to her, and said jokingly: "Lend you one, and then take you home." With all his strength, he carried Xia Cong to his room, took off the Gu bottle on his body and hung it on the waist of the corpse, and poured strong wine on all corners of the room.
When everything was ready, she took a breath, took one last look at the place, chuckled, and said, "It's over."
When the words fell, the torches with oil were resolutely thrown down, and the fire was immediately ignited. She took advantage of people's notices to go to the Qiu Shui room and took her baggage and hid in the inconspicuous miscellaneous storeroom.
It wasn't until the fire got bigger that someone screamed for help. A few people didn't have enough manpower, so they were in a mess, and they were in a hurry to fetch water, and Zhu Yi took the opportunity to go out of Jinyuan, and then went straight to the coachman who had made an appointment.
In the remote case village, Wen Xi reported Zhu Yi's situation to Zuo Qi in detail, and said with a smile on his face that Zhu Yi invited him to come over, but before he finished speaking, he suddenly saw the next person running in a hurry, shouting that Jiaoyue Zhai was on fire.
Zuo Qi immediately rushed to Kyaukyue Zhai, and saw the thick smoke billowing from the bamboo forest in front of Kyaukyuezhai's room, and the curtain in the room was quickly swept by the tongue of fire.
Such a coincidence, Song Xiyuan, who had been depressed for days, was just drunk, but he was also able to accidentally cause a fire in his bedroom.
Zuo Chu exerted his strength to repel Xu Yuying, who was holding him tightly, and rushed straight into the fire. Song Xiyuan, who was groggy, heard Zuo Zhulian calling herself, her throat was so painful that she could no longer make a sound, and she could only slap the table beside her anxiously. When the man saw the woman kneeling on the ground in the thick smoke, he ignored the roaring fire under the beam, and rushed over and grabbed her.
