CHAPTER 55 III
There was two taps on the secret door.
The sound was like a mountain temple Zen bell, coming from far away, and my fingers curled up slightly and stretched out, and I opened my eyes.
For a moment I didn't know what this place was, and I couldn't remember who I was.
Shi Gong called softly outside: "A-Ning? β
My throat was hoarse, my hands and feet were weak, and I reluctantly answered, "I'm here." β
Shi Gong pushed open the secret door from the outside and reached in.
The light of the sky penetrated into this small dark world, and I held his palm and stood up.
"What's wrong with you?"
I looked out and there was no one in the hall.
"Where's Wen Fei?"
"He's gone."
I nodded, but I felt my eyes ach and my chest empty, as if everything had been burned by a fire, leaving only the ashes of desolation.
My master's hand gently rested on my shoulder, and I slowly leaned over and rested my head on his shoulder.
"I ...... I remembered a lot of things from the past. β
My grandfather didn't ask me what I remembered, he just hugged me.
Countless people have come and gone in the past, and the chaos is like snow drifting outside.
It was the fourth day of the fourth month of April.
The innkeeper folded a corner on the day on the yellow calendar, probably reminding himself not to go out that day and not to do anything.
Somehow, the yellow calendar was thrown under the window of the room where I lived.
I picked it up, and then the yellow calendar turned to that page.
It happened to be that day.
The weather was gloomy, and when I went out, the innkeeper said, "Girl, I'm afraid it's going to rain this day, so it's better not to go far." β
I looked up at the sky, and the shopkeeper rummaged under the counter and pulled out an old umbrella: "You can take this with you." β
I took the umbrella and said, "Thank you very much." β
Last time, there was a team of darts that went from south to north. I had already told them that when they would pass through here from north to south, I would ask them to bring a letter.
Of course, the letter can't be sent directly to Nankui, but Yao Zisheng also has another foundation.
Letter...... It's always in his hands.
Hopefully, it's not too late.
I've been to town twice, the first two times without waiting for anyone.
If I miss this time, I'm afraid there will be no other better opportunity.
Moreover...... I don't worry about my father either.
Baiyuanju is no longer safe, and his father said that he will live in Qiyun Temple temporarily.
I don't know if he has moved to Qiyun Temple.
It was a difficult thing for his father to get him to leave the Hundred Yuan House.
There are so many memories there.
It's me who has caused him a burden.
But the father just smiled and said, "I'm afraid that I won't have children if I'm tired." β
Qiyun Temple is a very quiet place. My father used to joke that when Wu Zhen and I got married, he would go to shave his degree. Be a monk in Qiyun Temple.
Unexpectedly......
This time it didn't make me come in vain, the people in the dart game have already arrived. Here they will fix it, re-nail the horses, oil the cart and change the axles, and they will stay for two days.
Yu Dart Tou politely welcomed me in.
"The girl is really trustworthy."
He probably didn't take my trust too seriously. After all, I didn't make a deposit. Their bodyguards have already collected the money this time, and it is just a matter of passing to bring a letter when they go back.
I gave him the letter and a bag, and he put it in a box in front of me.
And I paid him another hundred denarii.
"May I ask the girl, is there ...... here" Yu Dart was a little surprised. According to the one out of ten of the silver goods escorted, this letter and the bag can be estimated at one thousand taels.
"It's medicine."
He suddenly said, "Yes, yes." Rest assured, girl, I will take care of it myself, and it will never be lost or damaged. There will be no water seepage and moisture return. β
He wrote me a deed, and although the handwriting was not neat, it was written with great force.
But if it's really discussed, the medicine in this bag is more than a thousand dollars? It is not an exaggeration to say that it is priceless.
But if Yu Dart knows what this thing is. I'm afraid he won't dare to take this deal.
One hundred taels of silver, not too high. It's not very low. It's too low, I'm afraid they don't care, it's too high...... That, again, will cause trouble.
I only hope that Yao Zisheng will take the medicine and heal the old wounds.
Yes...... Make up for what I owe him a little.
I can forget what others owe me. But what I owe to others is heavy in my heart, and I can't let go of it for the rest of my life.
"It's hard to get a dart."
"Rest assured, girl. By the way, do you want the consignee to give a credential? β
"It's fine."
Although their reputation has always been good, it is better to have a little more protection.
I put the deed away and sent me out graciously.
"Leave it to our dart girl just rest assured, we have semicolons in Beijing, Loujiang, and Dunzhou, not that I boast, in the past twenty years, there have always been a few times in other dart games, and we haven't had a single one."
I hope so, too.
It's just that other darts are lost, but this medicine must not be lost.
If I had any other way, I wouldn't have entrusted the letter and medicine to the dart board.
It's just that there are too many people staring at me, and there are too many people staring at Yao Zisheng, and there are many people who are proficient in illusion - and that person knows me very well.
Nankui is also too far away, and I can't rest assured that my father is gone.
This is the end of the matter......
The Night Stone Vine had all been burned, and the recipe for the Night Gu had also been destroyed.
Baicao Dan has also been sent away-
I stand still.
It seems that everything that needs to be done has been done.
No, there's still a lot to do.
I'm going to find out my father, and I'm going to find out about the murders that have been planted on my headβalthough those people were wiped out overnight, they didn't die under the night Gu.
And also......
Ji Yu.
When I think of him, it seems that those heavy burdens have become lighter.
Before you know it, it's late spring.
The wildflowers bloomed vigorously and luxuriantly on the side of the road, and I stopped and leaned over to pick a small purple flower.
The flowers are not fragrant, but they are fresh and moving.
If Ji Yu was here, what would he say?
He is sometimes too rigid, and he never loves flowers and plants.
I could almost imagine him frowning and saying in a helpless tone, "I don't see anything particularly unusual about this flower." β
I smiled slightly, and the mountain wind blew on my face, with a coolness.
It's probably going to rain.
I don't know how to do it, my fingertips were slightly numb, and the flower fell from my hand.
I wanted to pick it up, but I couldn't bend down.
The numbness of the fingertips quickly spread upward, and soon there was no sensation under the elbow.
When did I fall into the plot?
There was the sound of footsteps behind me, and I struggled to turn my head and blink vigorously, and everything in my vision began to blur.
It was as if they had come out of the ground.
I guess I've been targeted for a long time.
It's just that they waited patiently until I finally fell into it.
Where the hell is it...... Got a flaw, something went wrong?
I didn't eat anything that other people had to do, and I didn't have any contact with people......
Is it the one who played the game just now? Still is...... (To be continued)
