Chapter 11: Sleepless Nights
Early the next morning, the four of them set off for Yunmeng Mountain, and did not stop for this prosperity.
It wasn't until the afternoon that the four of them finally arrived in Yunmeng Town and checked into the inn.
"There's a restaurant in front of me that has quite a lot of people, it should be good, let's go take a look." Wei Poppy turned his head and said to Yingman. Yingman smiled and nodded.
The four of them sat in the restaurant and ordered a table full of dishes, and the diners around the table were all talking about the competition. None of the four spoke, and they all listened with relish. No one paid attention to a young boy passing by and happened to touch Xiao Er, who was serving the food, and Xiao Er's feet slipped and accidentally spilled the food, which happened to be next to Yingman, and he was about to spill it on his body.
said that it was too late, Wei Poppy grabbed Yingman's arm and dragged it to his side, and the two hugged each other unsteadily for a while. Yingman's face was flushed with shame, and Wei Poppy quickly let go in embarrassment. Xiao Er kept apologizing.
The little boy saw that he had hit someone first, and he was also busy stepping forward to apologize, "This girl is sorry, I have no intention of offending, please forgive me." Saying that, he hugged his fists and saluted, and then looked up just as Wei Poppy also looked up at him, his eyes met, and both of them were stunned. Both had an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
Ying Man also looked at the little boy with a crisp voice, only to see a moon-white brocade gown, red lips and white teeth, a clear face, two smart big eyes flashing with infinite brilliance, but the age is still young, about twenty-eight.
"Little boy, don't worry." Yingman replied generously and politely. Seeing this, the little boy smiled with relief and turned around to leave.
Wei Poppy didn't belong to a meal, and he couldn't understand a meal. Both of them had their own thoughts, and they hurriedly ate and returned to the inn.
As soon as he entered the inn, Yingman said that he was unwell and went back to his room to rest.
Wei Poppy couldn't calm down in his heart for a long time, and he always had a sense of déjà vu for the little boy just now. The eyebrows and eyes are very similar to ......, and Ruyi's face suddenly appeared in his heart, although he has not seen Ruyi when he grows up, but the similar eyebrows and eyes will not be wrong.
When Wei Poppy thought that the little boy might be wishful, his heart pounded, and his heart was ecstatic. Finally let him find it. Thinking that Ruyi was in town, Wei Poppy couldn't stay in the room for a moment.
"Kangming, quick, come out with me." Kang Ming looked at Wei Poppy with a happy face strangely, but he didn't ask much, and followed Wei Poppy out of the inn with his sword.
Wei Poppy searched from house to house in every shop in the town, but he didn't see the Qingjun figure again. Gradually, Wei Poppy was a little lost.
Kang Ming couldn't stand it anymore and asked, "Childe, what are you looking for?" ”
Wei Poppy looked at Kang Ming and said seriously: "The little boy who bumped into Miss Yingman just now is Ruyi." Wei Poppy said it to Kang Ming, and he also said it to himself, so as to suppress the doubts that gradually rose in his heart.
The two of them have been looking for the moon and the middle of the sky, but they have not found it. I had to return to the inn full of disappointment.
The stairs leading to the second floor of the inn were a little narrow, and Wei Poppy's steps were a little heavy as he walked in front. Kang Ming said comfortingly: "Childe, we will continue to look for it tomorrow, and we will definitely find it." Wei Poppy suddenly stopped in front, and Kang Ming didn't brake and almost crashed into Wei Poppy.
Kang Ming just wanted to kneel down and ask for sin, but when he looked up, he was there, and he even forgot to ask for sin. At this time, standing at the top of the stairs with a teapot was the young man in white who they had been looking for all night.
"Childe lives here too? What a coincidence. Ruyi greeted Wei Poppy generously.
Wei Poppy also quickly came back to his senses and responded naturally: "Yes, what a coincidence. Wei Poppy looked at Ruyi with the teapot in his hand and continued, "Is Childe going to add some water?" Let my guards run errands for you. ”
"No, no, I'll do it myself." Ruyi said and ran down the stairs.
Wei Poppy instructed Kang Ming to quietly go to the store owner to inquire about which room Ruyi lived in, but the store owner was very vigilant, saying that he could not disclose customer information and wanted to ensure the safety of customers. Wei Poppy had no choice but to send Kang Ming to watch at the door.
"Giant, just now two men downstairs inquired about Miss An's residence. One is prettier than a woman, and the other is normal. The innkeeper hurriedly reported to Tian Rang.
Tian Rang's frowning expression was very solemn, he knew that Ruyi was being chased and killed all the way, but if it was really the person who chased and killed him, he shouldn't be so polite. "Keep an eye on them and keep you updated." After all, this is his own territory, and Tian Rang is still a little confident.
Tian Rang got up to see Ruyi, but when he got up, he didn't notice that the token on his waist hit the table. Tian Rang held the token for a long time and didn't move, it was the giant order, and he still remembered the scene when Meng Sheng passed the token to himself. I still remember how tragically Meng Sheng died for his own selfishness, guarding the city for the king of Yangcheng and taking more than a hundred ink scholars. I will never forget how I started from scratch little by little and developed the Mo family into today's Mo family. The Mo family is not a one-person Mo family, the Mo family is the Mo family of the world, and they can't let Meng Sheng's tragedy happen again for their own selfishness.
Tian Rang knew in his heart that some feelings could only be suppressed in his heart, and it was good to protect her silently.
The night is getting deeper and deeper, and only the crickets are left, but how many people can sleep peacefully, this is destined to be a sleepless night. Wei Pop's thoughts, Tian Rang's trade-offs, and Yingman's confusion all melted into the night in their respective tossing and turning. Even Ruyi is still reading at night, teaching Xia He's homework while reviewing it herself.
Early the next morning, Ruyi and Xia He had already started to eat breakfast on the first floor of the inn, and Tian let them be late.
"I'm sorry, I'm up late today." Tian Rang said apologetically.
"It's okay, Brother Tian. We don't know when you're coming and we're not waiting for you. Ruyi was also a little embarrassed.
"I'm starving, let's eat quickly," Zhang Tie finished speaking, sat down and started eating.
"Brother Tian, seeing that you are very tired, drink some tea to refresh yourself." Xia He poured a cup of tea as he said and handed it to Tian Rang.
Ruyi just wanted to ask Tian Rang if there was anything wrong. Suddenly, there was a loud cry on the stairs: "It's better to meet than to meet by chance." Oops, we meet again. "The voice is very pompous.
Several people looked over at the same time, and saw Wei Poppy wearing a purple and black dark flower brocade robe, with a black jade hook belt around his waist. The wide robe and large sleeves are very graceful and luxurious, changing the chivalrous style of yesterday, with a charming smile on his handsome face, and the appearance of a beautiful son.
Tian Rang frowned unconsciously, in his opinion, this dress was more like a playboy who attracted bees and butterflies. Yesterday he was worried that he was here to hunt down Ruyi, but today he seems to be a frivolous swinger.
Wei Poppy and a few people had already come to the table, and Yingman, who was following behind Wei Poppy, was also surprised to see Ruyi, and said softly: "So you are a woman?" ”
Ruyi wore a goose-yellow curved cross-collar deep coat today, with a curved collar on the neckline and cuffs with a dark gray dark flower wide edge, and a spiritual snake bun, fresh and lively. Ruyi looked at Yingman with a smile: "Sister smiled." ”
Tian Rang didn't like Wei Poppy very much, and Tian Rang ignored Wei Pop from beginning to end, and Wei Pop deliberately said to Tian Rang when he saw this: "This big brother doesn't mind if we sit here, right?" "In fact, Tian Rang is not necessarily as big as Wei Poppy. Tian Rang ignored him and continued to bow his head and drink his porridge.
Wei Poppy didn't care, sat down in the empty seat next to Ruyi, and ordered Xiao Er to have breakfast. Ruyi didn't know what happened last night, and explained to Tian Rang, "I bumped into the second child who served the dish yesterday and almost spilled the dish on this sister, but fortunately, this son saved in time and survived a disaster." ”
Tian Rang raised his head and nodded at Ruyi, smiled and continued to bow his head to eat.
Ying Man looked at Wei Poppy's Ruyi eyes, and felt a little uncomfortable. She originally saw that Wei Poppy's identity was extraordinary and intended to approach, but her abnormality in the past two days, coupled with her thunderous heartbeat when she hugged yesterday, she found that she might really like Wei Poppy, and she couldn't even tell the difference between true feelings and falsehood.
Yingman deliberately asked Ruyi: "Is the girl going out to play with her friends?" Because she knew that whether it was Wei or other countries, the ladies would not come out alone with men. Although Ying Man was looking at Ruyi, she glanced at Wei Poppy out of the corner of her eye. Wei Poppy really frowned, and Yingman was secretly happy in his heart.
Ruyi didn't seem to hear the meaning of her words, and replied with a smile: "No, I'm here to apprentice." ”
Wei Poppy looked at Ruyi in astonishment, and even Ying Man was surprised. They all know that this division is Guiguzi, how strict Guiguzi's requirements are, how many rules there are, and it is rare to be able to enter his door every year, not to mention these, he alone does not accept female disciples, and Ruyi will not be able to pass the test. Thinking of this, Ying Man sneered in his heart. I won't go on and say more.
Wei Poppy wanted to persuade him, but seeing that Ruyi had no intention of continuing the topic, it was not easy to say more. He also bowed his head and began to eat.
The atmosphere was awkward for a while, and when everyone was relatively speechless, the streets outside were lively. It turned out that Guiguzi sent someone to post a list, and the list marked the number of competitions, and the new students started to register today.
Several people listened to the excitement outside and quietly looked at Ruyi, and Tian Rang was calm in his heart. Others were not so calm, especially Wei Poppy's appearance of wanting to speak a few times. Yingman didn't show anything on the surface, but he was already waiting to see a good show in his heart.
Ruyi didn't care what the others thought, and after eating, he pulled Xia He back to the room. Then come out are two handsome and elegant beautiful sons. Under the eyes of several people, Ruyi pulled Xia He out of the inn
The registration office is located in the fire temple at the east end of the town, and when Ruyi and Xia He arrived, it was already crowded. It seems that there are really a lot of people who want to apprentice. Even if you can't be selected by Mr. Guigu, it's a good opportunity to meet other famous teachers. That's why more and more people come to sign up every year.
"Miss......" "Forgot again?" "Sister, I'm a little scared." Xia He said timidly. Although Ruyi made Xia He change his words, Xia He is still not used to making mistakes often. "Shouldn't you call me brother now" Ruyi looked at Xia He a little helplessly.
Xia He stuck out his tongue mischievously, "Yes, big brother." ”
Ruyi snorted and laughed. Then Zhengse said to Xia He: "People's fate is in their own hands. As long as you choose for yourself, and go on with determination. Nothing to be afraid of! ”
