Chapter 13 The Uninvited Guest in the Middle of the Night
When I returned to the house, I sent the 'medicine' to my mother, and told the 'jade' phoenix, the way to take the 'medicine' and the taboos of the diet, and I went back to my yard. For more up-to-date chapters, visit: ะจะฉะฉ.(7)(9)XS.ัะะ. The purple clay pot is still boiled with green tea, and it can be regarded as a long breath.
After noon, Aunt Jiu came to my yard under the pretext of stomach cold, and asked for a recipe for dietary therapy, but brought me some bird's nest and codonopsis supplements.
I was afraid that if I rejected her, I would think that I was separated from her, so I asked Xuan'er to put it all away.
Xuan'er took out the things, opened the 'door' of the small storeroom, and instructed the girl who followed her to collect them carefully.
My aunt took the opportunity to ask me in a low voice, "Can these girls be relieved?" โ
"I'm used to doing everything by myself on the mountain, and it's awkward to be surrounded by such a group of people, I just want to report to my mother, leaving two girls, and the others will be sent away." I felt a little awkward in my heart, and I was a little angry when I talked to my aunt.
"Don't," Aunt Nine shook her head and said, "Do you think I don't want to be so quiet?" Raise a bunch of idlers in your own yard, restrained everywhere, so many pairs of eyes staring at you. But don't you want to think about it, if no one really is staring at you, can your mother rest assured? โ
"Then I'm going to let them go around and tell the news?" When I said that, I felt a little annoyed.
Aunt Nine let out a long sigh: "Don't talk about your yard, do you think that your mother's yard is impregnable, impregnable?" Your grandmother and your other aunts don't have their own people in her yard? โ
I remembered a pair of pointy little feet under the brocade curtain that day, and my mother's seemingly casual action: "With my mother's wrist, why don't you clear it?" That's a no-brainer. โ
"Some of them don't matter and they kill them, but some of them can't move, you have to know who is behind her. If you dig out one with all your might, others will inevitably dig out their minds to arrange another one around you. Do you think, are you willing to know the details of every girl around you and be careful, or are you always worried that someone around you may stab you behind your back one day? โ
I opened my mouth, I didn't know how to answer, I didn't want either, I just wanted a place where I could let myself go, soothe my body and mind, instead of straining my mind every day.
"There are some innocuous things, she is willing to report them, and she should be careful about important things." Aunt Jiu said in a deep voice: "You must have a girl who you believe in, understand your mind, understand your face, and understand your thoughts without words." They are your eyes, your right-hand man, and you can't cure one or two little girls with different hearts with worry? โ
"Even if she does something that is sorry for herself, should she be indulged?" I said helplessly. I've been struggling with this question for a long time, Xuan'er is the person my mother pointed out to me, I can't catch up, I can't move, but she stays by my side, and I feel like a man's back, how to sleep peacefully?
"You mean her, right?" Aunt Jiu stretched out her finger and pointed to Xuan'er, who was busy in the courtyard: "Other girls, you can find a reason to beat and scold, don't let others think that you are a soft persimmon, anyone can be bullied." She is the only one who must be gracious and powerful, and if she can find out in her conscience, it is best to take it for her own use. If you can't, then find a way to empty her, like today, find her more things to do, so that she has no time to take care of other things. โ
I felt a deep sense of powerlessness and wrinkled my brow tiredly: "Can I just continue like this?" โ
Aunt Jiu looked out the window, and her eyes were full of helplessness: "Either you swallow your anger like me, have no 'desire' and no demand, and others disdain to play with you, or you will become strong and others will not dare to touch your mind." Otherwise, you will have to live a life like this. Qingwu, marry a strong enough man, let others look up to you and fear you, don't say that in this small Su Mansion, even in the world, you can turn your hands into clouds and cover your hands for rain, others who don't slap horses, do you still have to worry about such a trivial matter? โ
I shook my head, but all men in the world are lucky, they like the new and hate the old, there are groups of wives and concubines, even if they are as powerful as the emperor, are there few things in the harem that fight for your life and death?
There was a sound of footsteps approaching at the 'door', it should be Xuan'er coming back, I grabbed Aunt Jiu's hand and pretended to be at ease to diagnose the pulse: "You usually have to eat more warm ingredients, and avoid raw and cold things, it's okay." โ
Aunt Jiu smiled: "Then I will rest assured, this is an old 'problem', and I am embarrassed to ask a doctor, for fear of alarming Mrs., and I will look for you if I feel uncomfortable in the future." โ
"Bah, bah, my aunt said some unlucky things, how to curse herself, how good it is to be healthy."
The aunt stood up, "So I won't disturb the young lady, go back and let the girl stew some porridge according to your recipe." โ
After sending my aunt away, the sky was a little dark, and after dinner, I leaned on the head of the bed and took a medical book to read, but I couldn't see a word for a long time, so I closed my eyes and fell asleep for a while.
'Confused' 'Confused' I heard a girl enter the house, whispered to me twice, and asked me to take off my coat and go to sleep again. My eyelids were heavy, and I didn't pay any attention to it, so she blew out the lamp and candle, lightly put the quilt over my body, put down the bed, closed the door, and went out.
Because I went to bed early, I woke up in the middle of the night.
I don't know why I woke up suddenly, and I heard a sound outside the window, and when I turned my head to look, there was a dark shadow flickering in the window, as if I was gently cutting a little curtain with something like a dagger. The room gradually filled with a burst of vague fragrance, I secretly said that it was not good, it turned out to be a 'psychedelic' incense!
I have long heard the master say that there are three indiscriminate 'Mao' thieves in the rivers and lakes, and they use such methods to commit crimes in the middle of the night. After stabbing the window paper wet, he 'inserted' a bamboo pipe filled with 'psychedelic medicine', and the thief gently blew it outside the window, and the 'psychedelic 'drug' floated into the house without a sound. The person who was hit by ** was in a coma, his whole body was paralyzed, and he was unconscious.
This is not the point, the point is that this 'psychedelic' phantom 'medicine' is fragrant and sweet, and it is obviously mixed with the charming 'medicine' used by thieves who pick 'flowers'!
I held my breath in a hurry, my mind still a little dizzy.
I remembered that when I slept at night, my skirt was not taken off, and the silver needle was still on my body, and I 'groped' to take it out, and I stabbed the 'acupoints' such as Tianchong and Fubai, and my consciousness immediately cleared up a lot.
Do you want to call people or not?
In an instant, my heart was already flashing. Shouting loudly to scare away the thieves is undoubtedly the wisest choice, but this is a deep mansion compound, the thieves avoid the layers of guards at the entrance of the 'gate', sneak into the house, and do not go to other courtyards to seek money, only choose my yard, and use the three indiscriminate 'mysterious' soul incense, the intention is obvious.
It's always bad to preach it, and it's dishonoring.
And who is he? And for what? Or is there someone behind it?
I decided to take the plunge!
The thief put away his tools, probably hearing no movement in the house, and began to pry my window with confidence. I didn't dare to get out of the air, so I took out the Ugin dagger from under the pillow and clenched it tightly in the palm of my hand, nervous and sweaty.
Suddenly, a voice outside the 'door' deliberately lowered his voice: "Who? โ
The thief was frightened, stopped what he was doing, turned around and ran, and there was the sound of his clothes and the wind brought up by his fists and feet.
I hurriedly went barefoot on the ground, didn't care about 'groping' for my shoes, and opened the 'door' of the house, and in the empty yard, under the hazy moonlight, there were two black shadows flickering and moving.
A black scarf 'masked', looking at the figure is obviously the thief with bad intentions just now, although his skills are not good, obviously parrying a little difficult, but he has a bright knife in his hand, and the move is fierce, straight to the opponent's vital point.
The other person has black hair and a shawl, ape arms and bee waist, a strong and 'straight' figure, and makes moves calmly, like a leisurely stroll, neat and chic.
I couldn't help but exclaim: "Young Master Lin! โ
He turned to look at me in astonishment, starry eyes and eyebrows, who was he?
"Miss Su, why are you here?"
The thief took the opportunity to shake the sharp knife, twisted his body, and went to the roof, but he was able to do it lightly, and disappeared in a few leaps.
Lin Gongzi originally 'wanted' to catch up, but he didn't seem to be relieved of me, and he had missed the opportunity in a hurry. simply stopped: "Miss Su, are you okay?" โ
I shook my head: "Thank you Lin Gongzi for saving me, I haven't repaid the kindness of saving my life last time, but now I owe a favor again." โ
Lin Gongzi smiled gently: "Two days ago, I wondered how Master Su could recognize my Ugin dagger without asking about the rivers and lakes, and donated generously. He thanked me repeatedly for his help that day, I thought it was just a misunderstanding, and I took the credit of others, but I never thought that it was you, Miss Su. I think that the person who paid the deposit to buy the dagger on that day is also a young lady. โ
"That's the child's kindness and no hope of retribution, so I never remembered it. Qingwen can help Childe one or two, but she can't ask for it, not to mention that Childe's dagger is extraordinary, and I am stained again. It's just that every time I see Lin Gongzi, I am always so embarrassed, and I am tired of Gongzi to save him. โ
He glanced at me with a smile: "Even if I didn't come, Miss Su must have been able to deal with it herself, but I 'made' it self-defeating." โ
I remembered that I slept in my clothes yesterday, and now I was dressed in a hurry, and others seemed to be prepared.
I was 'about to explain' when the torches and lights in the house were lit up, and I shouted everywhere, I was afraid that the thieves had fled in a hurry just now, and the sound had alarmed the guards in the house. There was a jumble of footsteps running towards the courtyard.
Lin Gongzi bent down and picked up something on the ground, which should have been lost by the thief in the panic just now, and with the help of a faint glass light in the courtyard, I fixed my eyes and saw that it was a hollow bamboo pipe. It is the object used by the indiscriminate 'flower' thief just now to blow 'psychedelic' hallucinatory 'medicine' into my boudoir.
Lin Gongzi put it under his nose and sniffed gently, his face changed slightly, obviously a little embarrassed, and he clenched his fist against his mouth and coughed lightly.
My face turned red like a fire. He must have known this 'medicine'!
Although the thief did not succeed, if it spread, saying that Miss Su provoked the 'flower' thief, even if I jumped into the Yellow River, I would not be able to wash it, I am afraid that my reputation will not be protected.
The maid in the courtyard also heard the sound and lit the glass lamp in the courtyard, which was as bright as day for a while.
Lin Gongzi easily stuffed the bamboo pipe into his arms, smiled comfortingly at me, and then pointed to the hem of my skirt.
I lifted the hem of my skirt suspiciously, only to feel a cold under my feet, and remembered that I had forgotten to put on my shoes in a hurry, and was standing barefoot on the ground, and under the reflection of the glass light, ten nails were crystal round and exquisitely translucent.
Lin Gongzi turned his back and coughed lightly uncomfortably, I secretly stuck out my tongue and laughed: "Ah, I actually forgot." โ
I'm not a lady myself, and I don't think it's inappropriate, but seeing that Lin Gongzi seemed to be very embarrassed, he was a person who followed the rules and etiquette, so he hurriedly went back to the house, took out the embroidered shoes on his feet and put them on.
