Chapter Fifty-Six: An Uninvited Guest Comes to Check In
I fumbled to enter the house, Zheng Zhuzhu kept holding me tightly, her hands were still shaking, and her voice was shaking: "Don't- don't walk around, tell me where you want to go, I'll take you." β
"I'm going to see Xia Xia-"
Song Lingjian said coldly inside: "Don't come in, stay outside quietly." β
Zheng Jewel said: "Miss Song is seeing Xia Xia, you are so worried that it will affect Miss Song's diagnosis, let's wait for her to finish and then ask her, I see that Xia Xia's sister has no external injuries, she should have suffered a little cold after being outside for too long." With them, it's fine. β
I tried to blink my eyes, I hated myself for being like a wreck now!
"You sit down for a while, the aisle is windy, I'll listen to the movement, see if there is anything to say, and let you rest assured as soon as possible, okay?" Zheng Zhuzhu pulled me out, and I suddenly felt a little scary, because there was no sight, no light, I was like a doll being dragged around by others.
Before I reached the yard, I suddenly heard heavy breathing, in a certain corner of the yard, cold and gloomy.
"Who? Who's out there? I asked as I turned to the corner where my breath was.
Zheng Zhuzhu was taken aback by my sudden questioning, and quickly looked around.
A gloomy voice in the corner replied, "It's me." β
I recognized the voice: "Yan ...... Yan is wrong? β
There was a lot of chaos here because of Xia Xia's return, but he didn't know when he came into the courtyard, and stayed so quiet and cold for a while.
Yan Cuo's voice approached, and he was walking towards us: "The toast building is full, I want to come here to live." β
Where to stay? This request was very sudden, and a little presumptuous, and before I could react, Yan Cuo had already climbed the stairs of the corridor, stood under the eaves not far from us, and said as a matter of course: "If there is a free room, I will clean it up myself, and I will not bother to drive." As he spoke, he was about to go inside.
"Wait." I screamed.
"What? Inconvenience? Yan Cao stopped, looking at the movements of his figure, as if he was staring at us with arms folded.
I touched the corridor wall and turned in: "It's not inconvenient, I packed one out a few days ago, you come with me." β
Zheng Zhuzhu followed, and there was a faint light in her hand, as if she was holding the lamp to guide me.
I smiled bitterly and said, "With and without lights, what difference does it make to me now?" It's right in front, I can usually walk with my eyes closed, you can help me see how Xia Xia is doing, can you? β
Zheng Zhuzhu hummed softly, took the lamp, and watched us quietly.
I walked cautiously against the wall, and the general image made me very uncertain, but it took me a lot of effort to accomplish such a thing that was usually too ordinary to be ordinary.
I took Yan Cuo to a small room next to my father's study, which had a bed and a face frame, and it was Uncle Black's exclusive guest room. It's been a long time since anyone lived, and a while ago I cleaned up my belongings for Haipiao, so I cleaned up by the way.
I pushed the door in, and it was dark, there was no light, I was no different from a blind man, I did not dare to go into the endless darkness again, it was like I had walked into the mouth of an abyss full of unknown evil.
I leaned on the door frame: "This room was just cleaned a few days ago, there are not many things, you can live here first, this room is the quietest, and no matter how noisy the front yard is, it will not affect your rest." β
Yan Cuo walked in with a golden knife, and struck me carelessly when he entered the door, the young man was in the prime of life, and it was only a light bump to him, but it hit me so much that my bones were about to fall apart.
He shook around and sneered: "With such a big house, can you only find this wood-like bedroom?" β
I gently rubbed the shoulder that he had bumped twice, and explained, "No, no, the bigger ones are piled up with clutter, you can sleep one night first, and I'll clean it up tomorrow." β
Yan mistakenly said: "What? Did I hurt you? Do I want to apologize to you? β
"No, it doesn't matter. It's too dark, and stumbling is a common occurrence. β
Yan mistakenly said: "It's so dark, I can't see clearlyβoh, I almost forgot that you're blindβbut even if I did it on purpose, you can't do anything with me." β
My eyes widened in a daze, as I looked at the unpredictable teenager surrounded by darkness.
He was arrogant about wanting to live in my house, and his words were full of hostility towards me, why?
Yan Cuo gritted his teeth and said, "Don't be so alarmed, I'm joking with you, my- good sister." β
I clung to the doorframe to hold up my weakness as I could fall at any moment.
Yan Cuo stood in the darkness and asked me without feeling: "Your two good friends have tried every possible way to prevent me from approaching you, for fear that I am a beast with fangs, and I will always eat your flesh and drink your blood. β
I was stunned: "Plotting? β
Yan Cuo snorted coldly: "I see that you are half-dead, it shouldn't take long to live." It's a pity that we just met and haven't had time to get along yet. β
No matter how stupid I am, I can still hear the backlash in his words.
"If you're really my daddy's child, then we're familyβ"
"What if? Who wants your if?! If there is a if, I would rather devote myself to pigs, dogs, fish and insects than to the Yan family! With that, he slammed the door shut.
What happened to my Yan family? Why did my Yan family insult you, would you rather be a pig and a dog than have the surname Yan?
I couldn't stop shaking, and I walked out slowly holding on to the wall.
As soon as I walked to the front porch, I heard Han San's sigh with a smile, they came out? How's Xia Xia?
"How's Xia Xia? Where did she go?! I asked.
After a pause, Han San smiled and said, "Liu Cun found it." β
Song Lingjian asked him, "You are faster than us." β
Han San smiled: "Of course, I looked around when I came back today, and I didn't see Xia Xia, I saw her run to Liucun a few times a few days ago, so I went there to find it-"
I panicked, "Did you find her on the edge of the foggy slope?" β
Han San smiled and said, "Not really, just near the Jin family's houseβ"
I blamed myself: "It's all my fault, she must have gone to find Jin Niang again because of the matter of the golden thread, and she has been complaining that I don't track it down." β
Han San smiled and asked me, "Again?" Did she look for it before? β
"I looked for it, but I accidentally entered the fog slope, and it was Lord Shangguan and Xiang Wu who brought her back."
"Xiang Wu?"
I felt that Han Sanxiao and Song Lingjian made a quick eye contact.
"What's wrong?" I asked curiously.
"Nothing. Have you never explained the matter of the gold thread? Do you remember the last time you saw Jin Niang? β
I thought about it and said, "The last time I ordered a large number of gold threads, when I first made the first embroidery with Zheng Fu, it was a few days before you left the town - the specific date will only be known when Xia Xia turns over the account book." β
Han San smiled and muttered, "That's also about twenty days, twenty days ......."
Song Lingjian said: "You don't have to look for her in the future, she-"
"The surname is Song!" Han Sanxiao interrupted Song Lingjian's words loudly.
Obviously, there is something to hide from me, Song Lingjian always tends to tell me the truth, and Han Sanxiao always hides it, which makes me even more confused, I asked, "What's wrong with her?" Why don't you look for her? β
Han San smiled, "She may not come back." β
"Why don't you come back? Didn't you hear she was leaving? Are you hiding something from me? β
Han San smiled and sighed, and said, "I don't know the specifics, I said that I stabbed a fistula in business, and now many people are looking for her, maybe she has absconded." The yamen is looking into thisβ"
"Everyone knows about the Golden Thread?"
"Yes, it's the matter of the golden thread, many creditors are looking for him, so you don't want to look for her, so that everyone knows that you bought fake thread with her, and they come to return it or something, and it is not quiet."
I was very disappointed: "It turned out - it turned out that she really gave the false thread...... After so many years in business, why did she suddenly want to be like this? β¦β¦β
Han San smiled and helped me sit down and said, "People's hearts are separated from their belly, you never know if the heart behind the belly is red or black." β
"Where are you arranged?" Song Lingjian asked me.
"On the edge of my father's study, at the end of the courtyard...... He said that the toast building was full and there was no place to stay, anyway, we had a lot of rooms here, and it was quite deserted, I ......"
"Just live, multiple people are better than multiple ghosts." Song Lingjian didn't object, but he said something that made my heart tremble.
Han San smiled and said, "You woman, have you poisoned your mouth, there is nothing good to hear." β
Song Lingjian said: "It's night, if Miss Zheng goes back, he can send you back by the way." β
As soon as I said this, I realized that Miss Zheng hadn't left yet, and she had been standing quietly on the other side, unable to interject from us.
Miss Zheng said: "It's okay, now that Xia Xia is sick, and Miss Yan's eyes are inconvenient, someone has to help." I slept in the embroidery room, where there was a soft couch, and I slept there two days ago. I don't bother Han Gongzi to send it off. β
Han San smiled as if he was relieved, and quickly stood up and said, "Well, in the middle of the night, if you want to escort such a big lady, I will be a figure when I walk." That's it, I'll go to the next place, so as not to be caught and detained. By the way, I want to eat chicken buns tomorrow, I haven't eaten it for a long time and I have a toothache~ That's it, goodbye. β
"Rest. I'm leaving. "Song Lingjian is also leaving.
I quickly grabbed her: "You asked me not to look for Jin Niang just now, did you abscond because of the matter of Jin Thread, as Han San said with a smile?" β
I always felt that what Song Lingjian wanted to say to me was different from what Han Sanxiao explained.
"Almost." Song Lingjian replied.
"Song Lingjian, I know that Han Sanxiao will lie to me for my good, but you won't, you never disdain to lie."
Song Lingjian sneered: "It is not necessarily for you to lie to you, but it is not necessarily for your own good to tell you the truth." β
I was stunned, what do you mean? Han Sanxiao lied to me for my own good, could it be that the person who told me the truth wanted to harm me?
"If I don't come, most of them will be in the mountains, and I will come down regularly to check your eyes." Song Lingjian turned his head and asked Miss Zheng, "Why hasn't the medicine been decocted yet?" β
Miss Zheng lost her confidence for a moment, and said reluctantly: "I'...... I tried it with Hai Gongzi for more than an hour...... Doesn't fry well...... I'll go back and see ......."
Song Lingjian doesn't care about idle chores, and I even suspect that she may not be able to fry the medicine herself.
