Chapter 11 North Sword Three
The word love slowly slipped through my heart, with a little sour and painful, but it seemed that there was no joy alone.
I sat there for a long time, seeing that it was getting dark, Wu Zhen didn't come back, not even the ingots. It's a lot of work, not to mention laundry, even if you disassemble and wash the sheets and bedding, it's time to come back.
I stood up, sat for a long time and my legs were a little numb, and when I went to the gate of the courtyard, I saw that the sun was setting in the west, and a touch of glow on the horizon seemed to be a good rouge, and the houses, courtyards, mountains and trees in the distance were all dyed with a touch of crimson.
The color is beautiful, but it's a bit bleak.
Because this is the last color, the last light, and soon, maybe for a moment, darkness will cover everything.
I was faintly worried, I don't know why Wu Zhen and Yuan Bao haven't come back.
In a completely unfamiliar place, with no familiar people by my side, at this moment when the sky was about to get dark, I felt a sense of helplessness in my heart. It's like a child who goes out to play, and every time it gets dark, he gets restless and clamoring to go home.
I walked a few steps outside, and the yard was very close to the pond, separated by a large bush of vines, and on the other side was a pool, and two frogs could be heard from time to time. It's dusk, and the petals are wilting, but the fragrance is stronger than during the day.
"Don't go to the water's edge, be careful of falling."
The voice was elegant and mellow, and I was slightly stunned, and turned my head to look at the voice.
The man was standing not far from me, and I didn't notice anyone there until he spoke.
This man was just like his voice, handsome, peaceful, and his eyes were open and clear.
He walked over to me and touched my head very naturally: "You are the little girl who came with Mrs. Mingyue, aren't you?" ”
I nodded and asked carefully, "Who are you?" ”
He just smiled slightly, and his voice was gentle: "But hungry?" There are many guests in the house today, and they are so busy that they have neglected this place. Come, I'll take you to dinner. ”
I took a step back: "No, I'm going to wait for Madame to come back." ”
His cheeks flushed with drunkenness in the glow, and he bent down, his gaze meeting mine, with an indescribably complicated look on his face. It's like sentimentality, it's like remorse...... I can't describe it, I just feel that my heart sank inexplicably, and there was a slight tingling. The pain gradually became intense, and the whole heart seemed to be twisted by a hand, but it was only for a moment, and the pain came and went suddenly, like an illusion.
I took a step back, turned and ran back, and only turned to look at him when I entered the courtyard gate.
When my heart recovered, I began to pound, this person is not particularly handsome, at least not as good as my master. But it's really damning...... This man's appearance is as if he were ......
Everyone will sketch an image in their minds, maybe it has always been vague and illusory, but one day you suddenly meet a person, you will find that what you have been sketching in your mind is what this person looks like, but it was vague before, and it was not until this moment that it finally became clear and concrete. Although it was the first time we met, I felt that I had known him for a long time.
If this happens to two men and women of the same age, it might be ...... It's love at first sight.
But I knew no.
This person and I must have known each other.
A sentence blurted out: "Are you Wen Fei?" ”
He didn't answer, in fact, he didn't have to answer, Yuan Bao hurriedly walked towards this side, when she saw that person, she was first surprised, and then quickly reacted, and saluted: "I've seen the Wen Pavilion Master." ”
Sure enough, it was him, Wen Fei.
Wen Fei, Wen Fei, I repeated this name in my heart several times.
"No need to be polite. This little girl heard that she was sick, but she had taken medicine? Is it okay now? ”
"I'm fine, I don't want to take medicine."
This was very childish, and his voice was gentle: "If you are sick, you have to take medicine, and if you don't take medicine, your illness will not be better." Wait a minute, I'll tell someone to bring you something sweet, and you can eat some after you've taken the medicine. ”
A man dressed in dark blue clothes came over, bowed and saluted, and whispered, "Pavilion master, there is a guest here." ”
"Got it."
Yuanbao's respectful posture was maintained until Wen Fei walked away, and when their figures were no longer visible, she breathed a long sigh of relief, pulled the door of my courtyard, closed the door, and immediately asked me in a low voice: "I told you not to run around, why did you still go out, huh?" ”
I looked back at her innocently and touched my stomach: "I'm hungry." ”
Yuan Bao was speechless for a while, I was not mistaken, she showed a weak and flustered look on her face, although the time was short, she smiled again.
"I'm going to get you some snacks. Don't you want to eat? ”
"What about the dim sum?"
"It's not very convenient in someone else's house, and I don't know where the kitchen is, I'll go out and buy it for you tomorrow."
Her cheeks were rosy and her eyes were watery, and when she turned to turn the lamp on, I was keenly aware that the rouge on her lips was gone, but the color of her lips was a beautiful red.
She touched her hair and asked me, "What do you see me doing?" ”
"Sister Yuanbao, you look good."
"Really?" She was obviously very happy, and put down the lamp, and then remembered and said, "Why hasn't Madame come back after all this time?" ”
yes, I'm puzzled too. Wu Zhen is by no means a person who has no sense of proportion and no calculation, if something hadn't stumbled her, she would have come back early.
So what was it about her that kept her from getting out? What's the trouble?
Yuan Bao comforted me: "It doesn't matter, Madame is such a capable person, even the Wen Pavilion Master just now may be able to easily defeat her, and she should be back soon." ”
Someone knocked on the door and brought dinner, he took out the meal from the suitcase and laid it out, and took out a wooden box and put it on the table: "This is the order of the pavilion master, to bring medicinal snacks to the girl." ”
I opened the box and saw that it was divided into three compartments, full of honey stacks, and I smiled and said, "Thank you." ”
"You're welcome, girl."
Yuan Bao and I sat down to eat, although she looked calm, as if nothing happened. But the chopsticks didn't turn a corner, and they ate the dish in front of her by her side. The food is delicate and delicious, but it is not so delicious that she will show a little trance-like, spring-like smile from time to time.
There was one more thing that was wrong - her earrings were missing.
Yuan Bao has been wearing a very good-looking pair of apricot blossom silver earrings, and there are small pearls underneath, I have seen it familiar these days, but now there is one missing.
Of course, it is not uncommon for one earring to fall off, and my sister Qi Han said that she often loses one earring, and the remaining one cannot be worn again. However, the current appearance of Yuanbao, I almost immediately came to a conclusion in my heart: she returned late just now, and she was definitely not looking for any snacks for me, she should have gone to meet her lover!
I wondered in my heart what kind of person her lover was, but Yuan Bao solemnly told me: "Forget it just now." In the future, you have to be careful not to talk to people here. That Pavilion Master is a big man, and his skills are extremely high, so don't be disrespectful to him, but don't get close to him either. ”
I pointed to the box and said in a salivating tone, "He's very good, and he gave me some candied fruit to eat." ”
Yuan Bao sighed: "You are still young, you don't understand." Sometimes someone gives you candy to eat, not necessarily because they like you and are good to you. ”
"Huh? Why? Is the Pavilion Master a bad person? ”
Say more, say more, I really want to know, even if it's just a few words, as long as it's related to Wen Fei.
Yuan Bao patted my face: "What do you little girl know, you can't talk nonsense, just remember what I just told you." ”
She was so strict-mouthed, and I tried to talk in two or three different ways, but I still couldn't get anything.
