The drizzle continued, like a silver quill net out of a layer of wonderful light yarn, shrouded the earth, next to the courtyard of Hongying, the blue water that was penetrated by Xiangye was like a green Luo jade belt meandering in front of her door.

The transplanted apricot trees in the courtyard are also lit with swaying blue paint, surrounded by apricot blossoms, and the chaffinchs have already climbed the branches and sing happily.

Such a scene reminded Hongying of "The swallow does not return to the late spring, and the smoke and rain and the apricot blossoms are cold." In such a beautiful verse, she poked the swaggering branches on the apricot tree with her jade fingers, and looked at the bees shuttling between the flowers with baskets, and couldn't help but smile.

Chu Luo came to her yard, always picking a time, for example, now, he was holding the manuscript, wanting to take a look at it with Hong Ying first, and then make modifications, but saw her wearing a red dress, standing in the depths of the apricot trees dotted with green leaves and flowers, with full shadows and shadows, adding a hazy and chic beauty, he couldn't help but beat faster, and his breathing was a little chaotic.

The snow-white falling flowers, dotted on her red dress, like a playful little lantern, climbed on it, reluctant to leave. Chu Luo stepped on the bluestone slab, and involuntarily walked towards her, he breathed and concentrated, for fear that he would be beautiful that he had never seen in this spring.

But it was Hong Ying who spotted him first, frowned slightly, and said, "You forgot to knock on the door again." ”

"My own family, why be too polite." Chu Luo hurriedly smiled and said, as for the dispute between the two of them on the night, they forgot about it as soon as they woke up, maybe the only benefit of their quarrel all day long is to cultivate such a tacit understanding.

After hearing his words, Hong Ying rolled her eyes and said, "At this time, do you admit that I am your sister-in-law?" ”

"Fart!" Chu Luo hated the words sister-in-law the most, because these two words made him involuntarily feel that he was a whole generation behind Hong Ying, and he was getting farther and farther away from her, so he said with a calm face: "Don't take my accommodation to you in the past as a reason for you to tease me!" ”

Hong Ying was choked by him: "You talk so unreasonable, when did I tease you?" ”

"Fangcai!" Chu Luo is categorical and cannot be criticized.

"Okay, count me wrong, today is the deadline, what about the manuscript?" Hongying stretched out her hand and asked. If it weren't for the manuscript, she wouldn't compromise with Chu Luo.

Only then did Chu Luo put the manuscript on her slender jade fingers, turned her face and said, "If you are not satisfied, I will take it back and repair it." Hong Ying was thinking about the story all over her head, where could she still care about his words, but with a hum, she turned her head and sat under the apricot tree, avoiding the drizzle, and watched it with relish.

Chu Luo just looked at her intently, and said in his heart: Hongying's quiet appearance is even better.

In the sparse shadow of the apricot blossoms, there was a drizzle and breeze, and the shadow of light ink lingered slowly, quietly blending between the two, Chu Luo only felt that the end of the world was nothing more than that.

Obviously, Hongying sat in front of him prettyly, he stretched out his hand, but he could only touch a cool haze veil! It seemed as if she had always been in front of him, and it seemed that she had never appeared.

It's just that in his dreams, he walks back and forth, leaving heavy footprints!

After reading it, Hong Ying still couldn't finish it: "It's still so exciting~"

Chu Luo breathed a sigh of relief, and somehow, seeing that she liked what he wrote, he felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction: "No, the next issue may have to wait until next month." ”

"Oh!" Hong Ying was a little regretful, Chu Luo looked at her lost appearance, and couldn't bear to say, "Otherwise, I'll speed up again." Hong Ying rarely understood him and said: "You have to review poetry and books all day long, and make you fight at night, I will be scolded by my stepmother!" ”

Lu Shanshan treated Chu Luo, it was a dog's leg to the point that she despised one hundred and thirty-five degrees.

Chu Luo shut up at this time, because Sima Ting and Jin Chu were going to participate in this year's Spring Festival, so he didn't want Hong Ying to have a chance to slip away from him, so he also made it clear that his grandfather signed up for the Spring Festival, and Hong Ying counted him down for this matter, thinking that he was okay and mixed up.

It's just that he is unwilling, unwilling to lose her forever without trying.

Because Chu Luo didn't speak, Hong Ying didn't know what to say, so she stood quietly under the apricot tree, and the shallow rain drops fell on her face, which was cool and very comfortable.

Chu Luo's gaze also fell on her red lips with the rather conspicuous drizzle, and looked at her smile that bloomed because of pleasure, and involuntarily hooked the corners of her lips,

He was even a little jealous of the shallow drop of rain that could melt into her sweet lips and turn into nothingness.

Hong Ying's face was a little hot from his burning gaze, and then looked at his handsome face, her heart was beating irregularly, this kind of beating was a rhythm that Sima Ting had never had, that is, even the Spirit King played ambiguously, and she didn't have such a rhythm.

The two were silent, standing quietly in the rain, feeling a different heartbeat, but no one could grasp it, whether such a feeling was love or not.

It wasn't until Sima Yue held an oil-paper umbrella and stepped into Hong Ying's courtyard that Hong Ying reacted, and hurriedly handed Chu Luo's manuscript to Sima Yue to take a look, hiding Fang Cai's heart palpitations.

And Chu Luo also turned his gaze away, and when he looked up, he saw the magpies leaning on the branches, chattering, and endless sweet words.

Sima Yue wore an orange robe today, because the weather was warmer, it looked thinner, and the cold plum blossoms embroidered on the robe seemed to have a cold cold air overflowing outward.

Hong Ying shook her head and whispered to her: "Although your clothes are beautiful today, they can't come in handy, so it's better to wait for you to come to me, and I will pick out a shirt for you, which will definitely make my cousin's eyes shine." ”

Sima Yue nodded happily and said, "Okay, just do as you say." She made an appointment with Hong Ying, and asked Gu Siming to go out today, although it was raining lightly, but it was more emotional.

Chu Luo secretly scolded himself for being cheap, and put Gu Siming's name in his ears, he frowned, but he couldn't resist his curiosity, straightened his ears and continued to listen, but he only heard fragmentary words about the western suburbs, villagers and the like.

When Sima Yue finished reading Chu Luo's manuscript, she returned the manuscript to Zhao, and joked with a smile: "You have just learned, and you are going to take the top prize in the exam, but it is very likely that you will compare my brother to it!" ”

"Do your best." Chu Luo said casually, he didn't think that Wendou Sima Ting would be above him in the open.

After a long time, Sima Yue said that there was something, so she left first, and Chu Luo was also ordered to be evicted by Hong Ying and expelled from the door. Chu Luo felt more and more that there was some ulterior secret between the two of them hiding from him, so he was determined to go to the village made by Hongying to take a look.

He remembered the road there very clearly, because after Yuan Xi, Hong Ying had sneaked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he didn't worry about her so he followed, so he followed her to the village.

He remembered that when Hongying arrived in the village that day, the villagers and elders in the village offered her like a bodhisattva, and every family slaughtered cattle and chickens to reward her.

The most attentive to her is a family of young and old, the old man looks at the old age, because of the flood infected with an emergency, bedridden for more than a month, and he has only one granddaughter Liu Xiang, about seven or eight years old, born is very dexterous and lovely, I heard the village people say that she is very filial, young to take care of the grandfather of the heavy responsibility. So the people in the village also took good care of them.

Hongying rubbed Liu Xiang's braid, because she couldn't shirk her hospitality, she accepted a package of bird's nest she gave her, but she had doubts in her heart, where did Liu Xiang get her bird's nest, after all, it was not yet season, where did she get the money to buy bird's nest as an orphan girl?

With such doubts, Hongying just called the village chief and asked, "Is the stolen silver kept by you?" ”

The village chief shook his head and said, "It has always been kept by Qi Wenhao and several of his brothers, and we have never seen those silver tickets. ”

Hongying called Qi Wenhao and asked him about the details of the theft.

Qi Wenhao told her that Liuzi was on duty that night to take care of the warehouse, only saying that when Liuzi got up in the morning, he found that the silver ticket was missing, and he was so frightened that he wanted to find death and life, and finally he was rescued by him, and the whole person was delirious.

Hongying then went to look at the warehouse again, and saw that the warehouse was surrounded by weeds, except for the skylight on the top and the solid door, there was no other entrance, and the skylight was extremely narrow, and ordinary people could not slip in.

Hongying then found Liuzi again, only to see Liuzi lying in a decadent thatched bed, and the hut was full of cobwebs. It's dusty, but there's no one to take care of it.

He bit his mouth and said that the silver ticket had been stolen by the ghost, because he had been watching outside the door all night, and had not seen a single figure enter. Hongying didn't believe it, so she let him lie on the bed with peace of mind, took out a penny from her cuff, and said, "Relax and concentrate." Looking at this copper coin, it is shaking from side to side...... Left, right, left......"

"You're tired now, you're tired...... Relax, slowly close your eyes, your world is dark, you can't see anything......"

Liuzi also repeated numbly: "I can't see anything......"

She began to slowly induce: "What were you doing that night, squatting in front of the warehouse? ”

"Look at the warehouse."

"Did you see anything suspicious?"

"Nope."

"Are you thinking about it, what do you see in the narrow skylight in the dark night?"

"Kid...... A six-year-old child climbs a skylight. The sixth son suddenly exclaimed, but it was because of his scream that he was completely awake.

Hong Ying sighed faintly and said, "Sure enough, the things I learned from books are still almost hot." But it didn't matter, I finally got some clues. ”

She looked at the frightened six sons for a long time, hugged her chest and said, "Say, what happened that night, please, whose child is climbing the skylight?" ”

Liuzi shook his head violently and said, "I don't know, I don't know, I don't know anything......" he said, and he hugged his head in pain, stubbornly unwilling to tell the truth.
