Chapter 25: Night Knocks
It was another painful acupuncture, but at least this time Chao Rong didn't cry, just looked at Han Sheng bitterly the whole time, and saw that the latter couldn't bear to laugh and endure hard, but his kung fu was still steady.
Acupuncture consultation and medicine, after a process, the sun has been hanging obliquely in the sky......
Chao Rong wrote a wine recipe silently in Yun Niang's room for most of the day, and did not stop writing until it was almost dusk.
On the side of the table in the cubicle was a thick pile of paper full of words, and a few sheets of pen and ink had not dried, spread at Chao Rong's feet, and the ink ingots on the table were only a short part.
Chao Rong stretched his waist, picked up the paper scattered on the ground, staggered up from the ground, and copied the wine recipe back to his room.
The spring night was dark early, and Chao Rong said hello to Yun Niang after eating and slipped to the next door to find Yunxin.
Yunxin's house has a brick wall and tile roof, and a small courtyard is surrounded by a fence in front of the house, and the fence door is a thatched roof, and two bamboo lanterns are hung below, and the candles are not burned. There is a vegetable furrow and thatched shed in the courtyard, and a board cart is parked next to the shed. On the right, there is a clothes pole on the side of the fence. There was no one in the courtyard, and several rooms were half-hidden in the night.
Chao Rong pushed open the fence door and walked on the same bluestone road as his own to the room on the right side - Yunxin's bedroom.
The door was closed, and the warm yellow light peeked through the window paper. Chao Rong raised his hand and knocked on the door, but no one answered.
"Yunxin!" Chao Rong knocked again, but still no one responded.
Thinking that something had happened to Yunxin, Chao Rong broke down the door - the house was empty.
"What about people......" Chao Rong swept around, but Yunxin was not seen.
The room was simple and plain, with the windows ajar open, and a breeze slipped in.
"Tassels?" A voice came from behind him, and he trembled in fright.
turned around suddenly, but saw Yun Xin standing at the door.
The young man's long coat was half-open, and the ends of his hair were slightly wet, dripping wet his chest. There were water droplets in the jaw that slipped down through the collarbone and then into the half-open neckline, and there was no trace.
Chao Rong looked away: "......" She seemed to be bumping into Yunxin taking a bath.
"I came out when I heard the movement, and I thought it was a thief, but I didn't think it was you." Yunxin walked into the house, closed the door, and pulled out the chair in front of the table, "Sit down." ”
Chao Rong moved to the chair and sat down, watching Yun Xin go to the hanger and take a coat and put it on: "Am I bothering you?" ”
"No, I didn't." Yun Xin, who had just finished taking a bath, came over with warm moisture, poured a cup of residual water for Chao Rong, and sat down next to her, "Changying came to me, does Aunt Yun know?" ”
"If A-Niang didn't know, I guess I would have been arrested before I even went out." Chao Rong said very sadly. Since she opened her eyes, A-Niang has treated her as a rare treasure, and she will guard her meaning all day and night, which can be described as holding it in the palm of her hand for fear of falling, and holding it in her mouth for fear of melting.
Hearing this, Yun Xin smiled, his laughter mixed with the heartiness of the young man, and he said, "Then what is the matter with Changying looking for me?" ”
"Yunxin, I want to ask, what is the price of goods in Luyuan Country? It's like, how many copper plates are in a bun? How much is a pound of rice? Chao Rong asked.
Undoubtedly, Yun Xin was surprised by her question, but he restrained his surprise and quickly replied: "It's just in Anning County, buns are one dollar, and rice is six dollars a catty." But Changying, why did you suddenly ask about this? ”
"I had a dream when I was in a coma, and when I woke up, my mind was clear, and I suddenly realized that I was too prodigal in the past, and decided to change my evil and do a small business." Chao Rong replied with a smile and had a general understanding of the prices in Anning County.
