When is the time for retribution?
At dawn, a few cries woke up the sleeping mandarin duck, she suddenly looked up and opened her eyes, and saw a bed that looked a little higher than before, and she realized that it was last night, she did not lie back on the bed, but fell asleep against the door.
She stood up and rubbed her numb arm, her neck moving as if it was a little sore.
She pushed open the door, and a faint salty sea breeze blew in front of her, and the morning weather was still cool, which made the mandarin duck's brain sober up in an instant.
Thinking back to the events of last night, now that she calms down and thinks about it, she really wants to see Xia Yuan, even if it is just from a distance, she will be satisfied.
Just one look, after finding him, just one look, and then come back and leave with the master. The mandarin duck secretly made up his mind in his heart to go out, but before he got out of the yard, he thought that if he went out directly from the main entrance, he would definitely walk in front of the house where Chu Huai lived, and he would definitely be seen. Master also told him yesterday not to think about Xiao Yuan anymore during this time, so he would not agree to let him see Xiao Yuan.
If you don't go through the main entrance, the only way to get out of this place is ......
The mandarin duck turned her gaze to the courtyard wall on the side, but fortunately this wall didn't look very high, and she thought to herself, maybe she could climb over it.
She stood in the corner, and compared the height of the wall in front of her, estimating the height of a man and a half, and then she began to look around the courtyard for anything that could be used for foot.
Unfortunately, all she could see was a stone table almost connected to the ground, and a few identical stone benches, and nothing but them.
The mandarin duck had to walk back into the room, lift a mahogany chair, lift it to the corner with great difficulty, whisper a few sorry words, and step on it, just enough for her to climb the wall.
She straddled the wall and looked back and forth, but fortunately no one walked in the alley, and the mandarin duck jumped off the wall with confidence, but the moment she landed, she failed to stabilize her body, and a tingling sensation spread throughout her ankle. She squatted down and covered her ankles, gasping in pain, and when she finally recovered, she straightened up, took two steps cautiously, and saw that there were no bones, and then walked out.
What she didn't expect was that after only walking a corner, she saw from a distance that there seemed to be a figure standing at the intersection yesterday. That figure looked very familiar, the mandarin duck's heart was pounding, only this figure, she would never admit her mistake. No matter how far away he stood, she could tell him from the crowd for the first time.
How did he come! The closer she got, the faster her heart beat and the drums couldn't even match her heartbeat, and for a moment, she wanted to turn around and run, but her body continued uncontrollably.
What to do, it's getting closer, he's going to turn his head, what should I say, what kind of expression should I make, what should I do?
"Xiao Yuan......" shouted his name uncontrollably, and the moment he spoke, the mandarin duck regretted why he ran out so impulsively.
Xia Yuan, who heard the voice, turned around, with a relieved expression on his face, and he smiled and said to the mandarin duck: "Ah Yang, it's really you." ”
"Obuchi...... Why are you here...... "Why did Obuchi know I was here?"
"I thought I might run into you here, so I waited at this intersection."
"You...... I ......" The mandarin duck's face turned red, and the Xia Yuan in front of him was exactly the same as in his memory.
"Ah Yang, since you disappeared, General Wen and Mrs. Wen are very worried that you will be in danger, where have you been during this time?" Xia Yuan stopped smiling, and his face returned to his usual seriousness, but his tone was still so soft.
"I ...... I just went out for a walk. ”
"Go home early, don't let them worry anymore, Ah Yang, you're not too young, let's find a good family to marry, I will also help you pay attention to it." After finishing speaking, Xia Yuan stopped looking at the mandarin duck, turned around and turned into the street without looking back.
"Xiao Yuan......" The mandarin duck wanted to reach out to keep Xia Yuan, but her fingertips could only touch the last strand of clothing on the dragon robe, she had to hug herself tightly, squatted down, and tightly covered her somewhat aching chest, what are you talking about? You know, I just want to marry you......
Chu Huai didn't know when he stood behind the mandarin duck, he sighed softly, walked to her side, and squatted down together. Stretched out his hand to grab the mandarin duck's shoulder, but he looked at his hand that stopped in mid-air for a long time, and finally withdrew his hand, and said to the mandarin duck instead: "It's time to go." ”
"Master, my heart hurts so much, he told me that he was going to find a good man to marry, and he also said that he would help me keep an eye on it." The mandarin duck's voice was muffled, and it sounded like it was already crying, and her shoulders were shaking slightly.
"Well, why do you bother? Now he has no heart on you at all, how many times have I told you, don't go to him, but you still don't listen. ”
"But Master, I can't help it, I really miss him, I really want to see him, my body moves involuntarily, what to do, Master, what should I do." With tears on his face, the mandarin duck looked up at Chu Huai.
"Okay, okay, when you have the Seven Lives Gu, you will be able to see him every day, hurry up and wipe your tears, crying so ugly, don't scare others, Master Shu is already waiting for us, don't let him wait for a long time."
In the end, Chu Huai could only pat the mandarin duck's shoulder, stood up, glanced at the corner inadvertently, and walked back.
The mandarin duck stared at Chu Huai's back, pondered for a while, picked up the handkerchief and wiped away the tears as if he had just reacted, and then looked at the handkerchief in his hand, is it really that ugly?
"Mandarin duck, why are you still stunned there?" Chu Huai, who had already walked away, turned around and shouted at the mandarin duck.
"Here we are." Only then did the mandarin duck retract his gaze and trotted to catch up with Chu Huai.
It happened that Shangshushan led the horse and walked out of the house.
"I said why I couldn't find the two of you, it turned out that they went outside together." Shu Shan stopped in front of Chu Huai and said with a smile.
"Master Shu, don't laugh, the mandarin duck just met an acquaintance, and after a little chat, I saw that it was almost time to leave, so I went to call her back."
The mandarin duck met Shu Shan's gaze again, obviously he had a smile on his face, but she couldn't feel a trace of a smile in his eyes, and the mandarin duck hurriedly looked away and looked at the carriage beside him.
"In that case, let's get in the car first, don't miss the time of the Western Regions sacrifice."
Shushan gave up his place from the side of the carriage so that the two of them could sit in the carriage, and he still waited until the two of them were seated, then got on the board of the carriage, and drove away.
Xia Yuan stood at the corner of the alley, watching the carriage pass by him, and only turned to leave until it completely disappeared.
