65. I like everything you send me
Hu Qing'an is indeed very dangerous, but after thinking about it, now that the fox clan is still in his hands, he has been sitting in the position of patriarch for hundreds of thousands of years, it is impossible that he has no self-protection ability at all, he will definitely have a back hand.
I pressed Hu Dingtang and said: "Your grandfather has a lot of power, no matter what, it is much better than your situation, you should worry about yourself first." ”
Hu Dingtang leaned on the head of the bed and didn't speak, just when the food was delivered, the two of us ate a little together, Hu Dingtang was very tired and fell asleep.
I washed up, I also wanted to make up for sleep, but I couldn't sleep lying down, there were too many things in my head, fortunately I found a pen and paper, buried myself in drawing embroidery patterns.
This embroidery is painted for Uncle Zhang's cigarette pouch, Uncle Zhang should not be underestimated, he can blurt out the 'Panjin Nine-clawed Beast Head Picture', it is enough to show that he has an understanding of my identity, but I came to this world, no one knows my origin, how can he know?
Is it because he sees things and sees them, or is it something else?
Uncle Zhang gave me a huge sense of crisis, but at the same time, he was of great help to me, and I would definitely have to contact this person from time to time, and even please.
Of course, he wouldn't really ask me to embroider a golden nine-clawed beast head for him, which was a unique pattern on Hades' official robe, and no one else dared to use it, unless he really wanted to die.
Uncle Zhang is old, send him a hundred longevity picture to wish him a long life is the best, a small cigarette pouch to embroider a hundred longevity, that is not a simple thing, and think that Uncle Zhang's cigarette stick is made of sheep bones, and the cherry pendant of Sanyang Kaitai is decorated with Sanyang Kaitai under the cigarette pouch is more complementary.
After I designed the embroidery pattern, cut the cloth, and selected the silk thread, I sat at the table and embroidered one by one.
I haven't done such delicate work for a long time, because each longevity character in the Baishou diagram is very small, some are only the size of sesame seeds, but every stroke is not less, I had to light a lamp, and embroider slowly on the light.
When Hu Dingtang woke up, I don't know, he leaned on the head of the bed, kept looking at me, looked at me for a long time, and suddenly said: "Is it embroidered for me?" ”
He suddenly made a sound, startled me, the tip of the needle limped, almost missed my hand, I glanced at him, and said, "I don't squeak when I wake up, it startles me." ”
"What are you embroidering?" Hu Dingtang's attention is still on my hands.
"It's a hundred longevity maps." I replied, "A thank you gift to someone else." ”
Hu Dingtang said disappointedly: "It wasn't for me." ”
I laughed and said, "Just tell me what you want, can I still embroider it for you?" ”
"It's boring to be so much on your own." Hu Dingtang said arrogantly.
I pursed my lips, ignoring him, and after a pause, he suddenly said, "However, I'm not that picky either, I like whatever you give." ”
I can't help but wonder, when did this man's mouth become so sweet?
I put down the needle and thread in my hand, walked to the bed, lifted the quilt, slowly dismantled the white cloth on Hu Dingtang's knees, the cinnabar applied to his knees had turned black, and asked him, "Does it still hurt?" ”
"Much better." Hu Dingtang said, wanting to bend his legs to take a look, but he hissed as soon as he moved.
I asked him not to move, and brought hot water to help him carefully wipe his legs, and I saw that there were seven black dots on Hu Dingtang's knees.
"When these black spots are completely absorbed, your legs won't hurt for two months." "But they can't make you so comfortable, you have to be careful." ”
Hu Dingtang nodded: "It's okay, I haven't seen any strong winds and waves, when I catch that traitor, I will definitely break his body into pieces." ”
These people in the mansion were carefully selected by Hu Dingtang and slowly cultivated, and they poured a lot of effort and emotion, but in the end, they bit him back, and this pain went deep into the bone marrow.
While rubbing his legs, I asked him, "If you can catch the mole, whose do you think the mole will be?" ”
Hu Dingtang immediately opened his mouth to say something, but then he held back and touched his chin thoughtfully.
I smiled and said, "Your first reaction was to suspect Hu Dingkun?" ”
"No, it won't be him." Hu Dingtang concluded, "In the entire fox clan, I am the most suspicious of him, so when I was choosing people, I focused on investigating their backgrounds, mainly targeting Hu Dingkun, but if there is any connection with him, I will not ask for it, so the probability of being his person is almost zero." ”
"But except for Hu Dingkun, you don't want to doubt anyone, right?" I smiled, "After all, there are only a few people in the entire fox clan who have the ability to bury such a big nail, and those few are your closest relatives." ”
Hu Dingtang's face changed instantly, and what I said bluntly also poked directly into the deepest part of his heart, he didn't want to believe it, but at this time, I had to let him recognize the reality.
"Hu Dingtang, the dog that can bite people doesn't bark, this is not unreasonable, what is called dark under the lamp, that person gives you the deepest family affection, so that you are immersed in his protection, and all the afterglow is projected around, if you don't look up, you will never see whether he is a knife or a hammer on you."
"Don't say it, you make me think again." Hu Dingtang covered his forehead with one hand, and his entire upper body was resting on the head of the bed, looking very uncomfortable.
I picked up the needle and thread again, and slowly embroidered my cigarette pouch, and the two of them were silent, and neither of them spoke again.
When dinner arrived, Hu Dingtang was already able to get out of bed and move, eat, take a shower, I changed all the sheets and covers, he went back to bed, and I continued to embroider my cigarette pouch.
Hu Dingtang looked at me for a while and asked, "When are you going to embroider?" ”
"I should be able to embroider tonight." As I spoke, I looked up at him and asked, "Is there something wrong with you?" Do you think I'm lighting the lights too bright? Or I'll go sleep in the next room. ”
"That's why this thing matters?" Hu Dingtang was obviously a little impatient, "Can't you stop and talk to me?" ”
I looked at him puzzled: "If you have something to say, it's not that I can't hear it when I sit here." ”
Hu Dingtang looked at me angrily, I also looked at him, he reached out and patted the side, and said, "It's a little cold in the bed, I need someone to help me warm the bed." ”
This man......
I glared at him angrily: "I advise you not to be hypocritical, if you don't sleep this time, you may not be able to sleep in the second half of the night, my cigarette pouch must be embroidered as soon as possible, and I have to go to the door, don't disturb me." ”
It was dark, it was time to light the lights, and they were going to boil the frogs in warm water and slowly boil Hu Dingtang, so it was impossible to just stop doing nothing.
I'm afraid that as soon as I get busy, the work of this cigarette pouch will be lost, so I'd rather stay up all night than embroider it.
Hu Dingtang sighed and said: "I have been thinking about it for an afternoon, your words are not unreasonable, I also understand what you mean, you doubt my eldest brother, but even if it is the hand of someone who supports my eldest brother, it cannot be him." ”
I shook my hand, then shook my head and smiled, and said: "I'm just giving you a reminder, what the facts are, only the person concerned knows best, I also believe that the truth will surface one day, I just hope that when the time comes, you don't regret it." ”
Hu Dingtang was noncommittal, the two of us disagreed, and it was useless to say more, so we could only rely on ourselves to see and taste it slowly.
After being silent for half an hour, I suddenly remembered something and asked, "Hu Dingtang, is your eldest brother married?" ”
"Why do you suddenly ask this?" Hu Dingtang shook his head, "The eldest brother is the one who wants to inherit the position of the patriarch, his marriage is not something that can be decided casually, and the woman's family background must be the right one." ”
I laughed, yes, it has to be the right one.
"What are you laughing at?" Hu Dingtang was overwhelmed by me, and he was obviously a little out of breath, "I found that you are not right today, mysterious and mysterious." ”
I looked at him meaningfully and asked, "Hu Dingtang, you unilaterally broke off the marriage contract with Hu Yunxi, you said, according to her personality, how could she not come out to mess with you in the past two days?" ”
"This doesn't need to be asked, Yunzhidu can't get out of the old mansion, and she must also be under house arrest." Hu Dingtang didn't care, "What, do you still want her to make trouble?" ”
I raised my eyebrows and shook my head: "Perhaps, she is under house arrest, what other reason is there?" ”
Hu Dingtang's brows furrowed, the movements of my hands did not stop, and after a while, I heard Hu Dingtang shouting outside: "Jianbin! ”
Hu Jianbin soon came to the room, Hu Dingtang beckoned him over, and whispered: "You contact our people in the old mansion, ask them to pay close attention to the dynamics of my uncle's house, and report to me immediately if there is any problem." ”
Hu Jianbin went immediately, Hu Dingtang got out of bed, paced to the window, looked at the night outside, and didn't say a word.
I don't care about him, the silver needle flies up and down, the Baishou picture has ended, and the pendant of Sanyang Kaitai is a little easier to embroider.
Approaching midnight, Hu Dingtang's knees began to ache faintly again, but after all, the medicinal properties of the mandala were still there, and it was not as unbearable as yesterday.
This is a necessary process, and we must determine the candidates for the mole through the dynamics of the people in the mansion at night, and we can't break the formation for the time being.
Fortunately, at that time, the work in my hand had been finished, and I put away the embroidered cigarette pouch, and then climbed into bed and stretched out my hand to hug Hu Dingtang: "Don't be afraid, just endure it." ”
In the second half of the night, Hu Jianbin quietly came in again, Hu Dingtang and I looked at him at the same time, and he hurriedly said: "Third master, everything is calm over there in the old house." ”
"Calm?" Hu Dingtang glanced at me, I don't know why, I feel that he is obviously relieved.
Hu Jianbin nodded, but then his face was a little uncomfortable, and he said in a slurred voice: "If I have to say anything special, it's Miss Six...... I just heard that the third master said that you escaped Miss Six's marriage contract, and Miss Six is looking for death and life, in order to calm things and save Miss Six's face, uncle...... Uncle wants to marry Miss Six for the third master. ”
"What!" Hu Dingtang slapped on the bedside table, and the whole person almost bounced up from the bed, but the leg pain made him stumble and almost didn't fall, so I grabbed him.
Hu Jianbin subconsciously glanced at me and kindly reminded: "Third Master, you don't want Miss Six, you hug the beauty, do you want Miss Six to guard you like a jade for a lifetime?" ”
I snorted and laughed, Hu Jianbin became even more cramped, and reminded Hu Dingtang not to show too much, annoying me.
He didn't understand why Hu Dingtang reacted so much, but I was like a mirror in my heart, looked at Hu Jianbin and asked, "What about the mansion, have you found anything?" ”
"I've been staring, and I haven't noticed anything unusual yet." Hu Jianbin said.
I said I knew: "Go get busy, you've been working hard lately." ”
When Hu Jianbin left, I immediately quipped: "Why, the old lover suddenly threw himself into his arms to others, and he was not happy?" But it should be too late for you to go back and rob people now. ”
Hu Dingtang turned over and pressed me against the head of the bed, and said angrily: "You know what I'm thinking, and you still come to provoke me!" ”
"I'm not a worm in your stomach, how do I know what you're thinking." I deliberately provoked him.
Hu Dingtang was even more angry: "How can this be, why is this happening!" ”
"Isn't that a normal thing?" I asked rhetorically, "The entire fox clan force is divided into three factions, Hu Dingqian, Hu Dingkun and you, some time ago Hu Dingkun suffered by himself and hollowed himself out, and he can't pose much threat for the time being, and the rest is Hu Dingqian and you." ”
"Your grandfather is obviously interested in Hu Dingqian, but in his selfish heart he favors you, in addition to these brothers in the mansion, the biggest pillar is your uncle's family, if Hu Dingqian marries Hu Yunxi and completely woos your uncle's family, you say, is it a salary for you?"
Hu Dingqian will definitely take this move, and now what is considered is whether Hu Dingtang's uncle's family's expectations for Hu Dingtang are firm or not, and once shaken, the biggest winner will be Hu Dingqian.
Whether Hu Dingtang is willing to believe that it was Hu Dingqian's hand at him, what Hu Dingqian should have done, or whether he did it without hesitation, I don't know whether this blow can completely wake up Hu Dingtang.
"Yunzhi won't betray me, and my uncle won't leave me." Hu Dingtang muttered.
I sneered, didn't say much, Hu Dingtang took me into his arms, hugged me so tightly, his body was getting hotter and hotter, the whole head rested on my shoulder, at first I thought we were holding too tightly and the temperature rose, but later, I found that it was more and more wrong.
When I pushed Hu Dingtang away, I found that he had a fever, the whole person was confused, and his face was as hot as boiling water.
I quickly wrung a towel to help him wipe his face and cool down, knowing that he was not a fragile person, but there were people in the outside world who were doing their hands and feet all the time, and it would be okay to get through it.
I stayed by the bedside and kept an eye on him, and as time went on, his condition got worse and worse, and then he seemed to have some nightmares, and he began to talk in a trance.
I leaned close to him and listened carefully, but I could only barely tell that he seemed to be saying a few words over and over again: "Mother don't leave", "Don't leave me", "Uncle......
I twisted the towel over and over again to help him cool down, but the less he went, the more powerful he became, and in the end I had no choice but to take out a silver needle and prick it at his Shixuan acupoint to help him lower the temperature.
Tossed until more than three o'clock in the morning, Hu Dingtang finally subsided his fever and woke up, the whole person was very wooden, as if he was still immersed in a dream and couldn't get out.
I sat on the edge of the bed, took his hand, and said, "You're having a nightmare." ”
Hu Dingtang nodded, and shook his head again: "It's not a dream, it's a memory." ”
He looked at me, his eyes finally focused slowly, and he said with some surprise: "Xiao Jiu'er, didn't you ask me before, what did my mother die of depression?" ”
Hu Dingtang said, and suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly: "Today, I seem to see history repeating itself." ”
"My grandfather gave birth to three children in his life, uncle, my father and little aunt, originally my mother was going to be married to the uncle, but never thought that the fox clan encountered a catastrophe, the uncle had to marry my aunt in order to win over the power, the aunt's father belonged to a distant relative, but he held a lot of power, helped my uncle turn the tide, and then gave birth to two sons for my uncle, which laid the position in our clan."
"My mother had to commit herself to my father, because she didn't love her, and she had to watch my uncle and aunt Qin Se and Ming, after all, hurt herself, and died at a young age."
"You see, now my eldest brother is going to marry Yunxi in order to win over my uncle, you say, is this retribution?"
Hu Dingtang's words can't help but make me sigh, I actually guessed that Hu Dingtang's mother should be hiding someone in her heart, but I didn't dare to think that that person is Hu Dingtang's uncle, which is too ...... It's hard to accept.
No wonder Hu Dingtang was difficult to talk about before, this is indeed not a glorious thing, but after having this relationship, I think Hu Dingqian may not have the apparent brother, friend and brother to Hu Dingtang, and he can't tolerate Hu Dingtang, which is also a matter of course.
And Hu Dingtang was suddenly not confident, which is understandable.
Just imagine, at the beginning, if Hu Dingtang's mother married his uncle, in the future, his uncle inherited the position of patriarch, Hu Dingtang's uncle is equivalent to the uncle of a country, how high his status is, but he was intercepted by Hu halfway, and this breath has been held in his stomach.
After so many years, finally, Hu Dingqian is going to marry Hu Yunxi, and the day when he will raise his eyebrows is coming, it is really hard to say what choice he will make.
Once Hu Yunxi really married Hu Dingqian, then Hu Dingtang was immediately attacked by the enemy and it was difficult to turn over.
Unless...... Unless he joins forces with Hu Dingkun again, this is undoubtedly more uncomfortable for him than eating flies, right?
I don't know why, at this time, I suddenly remembered what Hu Dingkun said that night, standing in front of the carriage with an umbrella, he said, if I reach a desperate time, I can go to him.
Hu Dingkun had already seen everything clearly, so he would say this deliberately, right? He is waiting for Hu Dingtang to cooperate with him!
Besides Hu Dingkun, who else can help Hu Dingtang?
I pinched my eyebrows and thought, and suddenly I remembered something, and opened my mouth to ask, "Hu Dingtang, where is your little aunt?" ”
