Chapter 20: Missing
I've been waiting for you.
And then what? Chi Jing knocked his head hard, pig brain.
She remembers everything that happened before Xiu'er said this, the smell of beef, the weird red shroud of her parents, and even Xiu'er's shy smile.
But after Xiu'er told her something, she seemed to be broken from drinking, and she couldn't remember it after racking her brains.
"My good girl, don't knock on me." The jade bottle hurriedly walked over, put a bowl of fragrant porridge on the table, pulled down her hand and said, "I finally came back from the ghost gate, why did you knock on your head like this?" What do we do if we ask any more questions? ”
In the end, thinking of the six gods and no masters in the past two days, he choked up.
Chi Jing let out a "hmm". It is rare to say obediently: "I won't knock anymore, I will live well and will not leave you." "She knew better than anyone how cruel it was to be left behind.
Hearing this, the jade bottle felt uncomfortable again.
"The girl's illness is so fierce that it frightens us. You just don't fit to eat greasy, I boiled some porridge, you can eat a little. ”
"Okay." The warm vegetable porridge is mixed with the fragrance of green vegetables and the rich aroma of rice, and after a few bites, it irons the slightly sore stomach that has been empty for a few days, and the jade bottle craftsmanship is really good.
"Jade bottle, I was thinking in a daze when I was sick," after eating a bowl with the bottom facing the sky, Chi Jing stretched comfortably. "You are so good to me, I will prepare more dowry for you on the day you get married, and after you get married, you will not be looked down upon by your husband's family, and you will be able to live a happy life."
The jade bottle pretended to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, did not raise his head, and responded: "Everything is subject to the girl's arrangement." She didn't dare to stay long, for fear that the girl would notice her tearful appearance, so she hurriedly left with the dishes and chopsticks.
"Why didn't you see Emo?" Chi Jing muttered to himself suspiciously, where did this little foreign devil go?
…
"Miss Chijing." Wan Sheng stepped into the room uninvited, walked to the bed, and carefully examined her complexion. "How much better today?"
"Thanks to the young master, I'm much better. The jade bottle said that you have come to visit me for the past two days, not only to help me invite the best doctor, but also to bring a lot of precious medicinal materials and supplements, the young master is too hearted. Seeing that it was Wan Sheng, Chi Jing smiled and squinted, not thinking that there was anything wrong with him entering a woman's boudoir at will.
Mom and Dad finally fell asleep, Mom cooked for her to eat, and when she woke up, she could see her brother... Although it is not Chengzong's younger brother, but Wan Sheng's younger brother, what difference does it make.
Chi Jing's eyes were sweetly bent into a half moon with satisfaction, the pear vortex smiled lightly, and a pair of already beautiful eyes were even more dazzling at the moment, like gathering thousands of stars. In the past, Chi Jing's smile was always a little heavy and melancholy, but he didn't expect a serious illness, but after he got better, it was like being reborn, and people couldn't take their eyes off it.
This smile flashed Wan Sheng's brain blank, I don't know if it was an illusion, he even felt that the scar on her face seemed to have faded a little.
"Young Master? Master? Young Master Wan Sheng? Chi Jing stretched out his hand and shook it in front of his eyes.
"Ah, ahem..."Wan Sheng cleared his throat as he remembered the purpose of his visit to her. Can the net girl consider my family to be a guest for a few days? ”
Is this because she is afraid that she will not have enough manpower in Wuhua Academy, and the jade bottle will not take good care of her, and everything will be inconvenient? Chi Jing smiled and declined: "Thank you for the kindness of the young master, Chi Jing just stays in Wuhua Courtyard, and it is quiet here to recuperate." ”
At least not yet.
…
After Wan Sheng left, Chi Jing slept for a while, and when he woke up, he found that Lan Yimo still hadn't appeared.
"Jade bottle, where did ink go?" She called the jade bottle to ask, but the jade bottle also shook her head worriedly and said that she didn't know, she hadn't seen Lan Yimo for most of the day.
After thinking about it, Chi Jing got up and changed his clothes and went out to look for Lan Yimo despite the obstruction and persuasion of the jade bottle.
But all the neighborhood was searched, but no one saw him. His blonde appearance was already eye-catching in the crowd, and if he hadn't been on the streets, where would he go? I don't know if he has silver taels on him?
After searching for nearly half an hour without a clue, Chi Jing's body that had just recovered from a serious illness was already a little unbearable, and finally let the jade bottle support her pale face to rest by a red brick wall full of vines.
But since she got to this wall, her right eyelid has been jumping...
There is a superstitious saying that a man's left eye jumps for disaster, and his right eye jumps for wealth. Women are the opposite. Every time Dad buys a lottery ticket, he will squeeze his eyebrows and make his eyes, and his expression is funny, saying that his right eye has been jumping, and this time he must make a fortune, and all the money he won will be given to Jingjing as a dowry... That often makes the whole family laugh.
From a medical point of view, the scientific name of eyelid flutter is "eyelid tremor", which causes the eyelid to beat when the nerves that control the eye muscles are stimulated or compressed by an external source, causing them to contract. Sometimes it is also an early warning sign of a disease related to the nerves of the brain, but most people's eyelids are caused by excessive use of the eyes and lack of sleep.
She certainly belongs to the latter.
"Lan'er... Do you see, that monster-looking kid... The eyes are actually blue, it's terrifying..."A stern voice said with some fear across a wall, faintly coming from the dog hole behind Chi Jing.
Chi Jing and the jade bottle were both stunned in their hearts, and immediately quickly and silently leaned on both sides of the cave and squatted down, holding their breath and pricking up their ears to listen.
"Mer, don't say it - you don't see that his hair is still yellow, and his hands and feet are bloody... Just opened your eyes to see me when you passed me! Oh my God, I'm not going to be infected..."The one who responded was Lan'er, who spoke incoherently and trembled terribly.
"The fourth lady used to pick up some injured kittens and puppies back, why did she pick up a live person this time?" It's just the girl, it's the boy who picks it up. The girl named Mei'er patted her chest with palpitations, and her words were strange.
"The fourth lady is too kind-hearted, especially the people and small animals who can't see the most hurt, and no matter how dirty they are, they hold them in their arms in distress, even if they stain their dresses. Feeding the cats and dogs every day is a lot of money, and the eldest lady has long complained about it. Such a character is easy to suffer in the future. Lan'er was successfully diverted from the topic by Mei'er.
"But this time this blue-eyed monster is too terrifying, anyway, he was beaten half to death and thrown in such a secluded place, and if he dies, he will die, why is he so lucky to meet the fourth lady."
"Let's not talk about this for now, the fourth lady asked me to get a basin of hot water, but I didn't dare to go in..."
"I'm so scared of you, I'll go with you and give you courage." Lan'er finally couldn't stand her soft grinding and fine foam, and agreed.
The two girls were playing and laughing and gradually drifted away.
"Jade bottle, you guard here, I'll come when I go!" Chi Jing thought for a while, bent down after speaking, and did not hesitate to get into the dog hole that could only accommodate one person to crawl!
The jade bottle exclaimed, and almost at the same time, it covered its mouth tightly. The girl is too impulsive, wouldn't it be nice to go directly to the door and pick people up?
Now I have to stay where I am and wait in fear.
