Chapter 232: Familiar with the sound of the flute
Situ Nanyun looked at the table of exquisite dishes in front of her, she had no appetite, and her heart was full of thoughts, she had come to this small wooden village in the wilderness for a day, and the man in white had never seen him since then, except for taking her into the village. The food was ordered to be delivered on time, but she was not allowed to leave the gate of Xiaomuzhuang, where more than a dozen guards were guarding, and the girl who delivered the food had been lingering at her door.
The poison was still in her body, and she could only walk around normally at the moment, but her whole body couldn't exert her strength, so even if she didn't have the girl who delivered the food to watch over her, she wouldn't have the ability to get out of the door.
She casually took a few bites of food, and then said to the girl who came in to deliver the food: "Don't eat, I'm full." ”
The girl saw that she had three meals a day, and looked at her with some sympathy, but when she saw that she looked inpersuadable, she stopped what she had to say, put away the dishes, and left.
"Why, she didn't eat much?" The man in white met the girl who came out of Situ Nanyun's room with a meal, and frowned.
"Yes, master, the girl doesn't seem to be in a good mood." The girl replied.
"Whatever, if you like to eat or not." The man in white glanced fiercely at the food that hadn't been touched much, as if they were the culprits who offended Situ Nanyun.
She was stuffy in her room all day and didn't come out much, and finally got into the dark.
On winter nights, the small wooden village far away from the hustle and bustle seems to be more silent, and it seems to provoke the invasion of the cold even more. Although the walls of the room were thick and the doors and windows were closed, Situ Nanyun still felt the unexpected chill coming, I don't know if it was because of the cold or because she had something on her mind, she couldn't sleep with the quilt in her arms. As soon as she closed her eyes, her mind was full of scenes with Lin Yuelan in the past, and all kinds of fragmented memories of time and space alternated one after another, she stroked her head with both hands, rolled back and forth on the pillow, forcing herself not to think about it, but she couldn't stop.
Memories bring her the pleasure of indulging in a moment, but they also bring her endless pain when she is awake.
She was actually very sleepy, she experienced rounds of thrilling battles last night, and today she sat in this house in fear for a day, but as soon as she fell asleep, Lin Yuelan automatically jumped into her dream, and when she woke up, her thoughts lingered.
Suddenly, there was a flute sound, which struck the nerves of the sleepless in the cold night. She listened intently, and gradually heard the melody, which was still a song that she was quite familiar with.
Why is this song unfamiliar to her? When she saw Lin Yuelan for the first time, she was so attracted by the sound of the flute that she almost fell to the ground. Later, when she was fleeing, she heard it a few more times, and it became a voice imprinted in the depths of her soul.
Lin Yuelan once told her that this was a tune that his mother used to play to him when he was a child.
Could it be Lin Yuelan? There is nowhere to find it when you step on the iron sheet, it turns out that he is also here!
Situ Nanyun's scalp was excited, and he immediately got up in his clothes and walked in the direction of the flute. Getting closer and closer to the sound, a pavilion appeared in front of it. In the pavilion, through the reflection of the snow on the ground, she vaguely saw the silhouette of a man in white standing with his back to her.
"Lin Yuelan, it's really you, I finally found you...... I'm not dreaming, am I? Situ Nanyun ran over excitedly and hugged the waist of the man in white tightly.
"Let it go!" The man in white said in a hoarse voice.
"Don't let go, I'm afraid it's a dream, and as soon as I let go, you'll disappear." Situ Nanyun hugged him tighter, and his little face was still rubbing against his back, gaining the temperature on his back.
The man in white didn't seem to want to disturb her dream, so he let him hold it, and after a moment of silence, he said with a slight sigh: "I'm not Lin Yuelan, I'm Bai Mu Yao." ”
The cold voice of someone belonging to the other person hit her ears again, and she let go of the hand around the other's waist like an electric shock, and murmured as if she didn't believe it, "What...... It's you? Also, how did you come up with this tune? ”
"How could I not? I used to blow it to her over and over again on nights like this. Bai Mu Yao smiled self-deprecatingly and slightly desolately.
Situ Nanyun didn't want to dwell on the source of this song, nor did she want to explore the question of who "she" was, since this was a misunderstanding, he was not the person she thought about day and night, and there was no need for her to continue to stay here.
She turned and walked away, the sound of her footsteps in the snow was particularly crisp in the silence of the night.
Looking at her lonely and departing back, Bai Muyao asked, "Don't you want to know who that 'she' is?" ”
"I don't want to know." Situ Nanyun's words quickly floated over.
"Don't you want to know why I saved you?" Bai Mu Yao continued.
"Do you have any good intentions in saving me?" Situ Nanyun didn't look back, raised his steps and walked forward vigorously.
She wanted to get away from this embarrassment as soon as possible, so she didn't want to stay here for a moment.
"It's about 'her.'" Bai Mu Yao followed her words out.
This sad and helpless voice still made Situ Nanyun's steps pause, she was hesitant to continue listening, but the other party didn't seem to be ready to continue, so she walked towards her room.
On the way, a voice in her heart told her: It seems that Bai Muyao is still kind to her, from his crying flute, you can hear that he is a person with a story, perhaps, he really because of a certain woman, he was kind to her and saved her.
Because she was too sleepy, and because she had untied a knot, she fell asleep in the second half of the night.
The next day, she woke up late and opened her eyes that seemed refreshed after a good night's sleep.
In winter, the whole sky is gray, and I can't tell what time it is. She opened the door, and there were goose-feather snowflakes outside, falling like elves, never tirelessly, and laying a new layer on top of the remnants of snow that had not faded yesterday.
She stared blankly at the snow outside, and it was not until her stomach gurgled that she realized that she was really hungry, and the girl who delivered breakfast had not yet brought it. As soon as I feel hungry, the stomach that didn't fill much yesterday will be screaming harder and harder. When she couldn't see the girl coming, she decided to go find something to eat herself.
Suddenly, the smell of food wafted over, and Situ Nanyun walked towards the place of fragrance without thinking about it.
The scent didn't come from a stove, it came from an open door. I saw a small hot pot on the round table, on which the mutton and the delicate diamond-shaped crystal rodish slices were churning vigorously in the boiling soup, and there were several plates of neatly arranged dishes next to the small hot pot, ready to be put into the hot pot for later use, in addition, there was a plate of pickled robe for rice, and a plate of crispy golden peanuts.
Seeing such an exquisite meal, Situ Nanyun couldn't help but swallow her saliva, and was about to walk in, but after thinking about it, she hadn't been invited by the master yet, so it was really rude to rush in, so she stopped her steps again.
Bai Mu Yao was coming back from the snow, and met Situ Nanyun who was wandering at the door, at this time, his voice was more hot than before, "Why don't you go in?" ”
"Is that you? Looks like I'm in the wrong place. Situ Nanyun was a little embarrassed, threw down a sentence and turned his head and left.
"As soon as I come, you will leave, and besides, my breakfast has been coveted by you for so long, I don't feel comfortable eating it alone." Bai Muyao stopped her, looking a little unrelenting.
Bai Muyao suspected that she had maliciously poisoned her, but Situ Nanyun didn't talk much to him, walked in, and sat down at the table to eat, "Don't worry, if you poison it, I will eat it too." ”
She wanted to take a few bites to show Bai Muyao and clear her suspicions, who told her to be caught? But after a few bites of food, especially the aroma of the mutton hot pot, she wanted to raise her chopsticks again. Looking at the extremely tempting dish in front of her, the gluttonous worm in her stomach also summoned her to feast on it to fill her empty stomach for a long time.
Bai Muyao sat opposite her, studying her expression, and didn't miss the opportunity to comment, "Well, this mutton hot pot is really good." ”
Situ Nanyun was a little surprised to see that the other party was sitting with her, eating the same hot pot.
However, at this time, she was a little short-sighted to ignore these untimely and embarrassing factors, now it is not to be picky about who to eat with, she has no choice, at this moment, her focus is still on this delicious meal.
is so ambitious, probably because people are poor and short-sighted, she complained to herself in her heart. After some hesitation, Situ Nanyun finally couldn't resist the temptation of the meal and began to eat.
Seeing that she was eating with great interest, Bai Muyao also seemed to feel that an ordinary breakfast was much better than before, and the eating interest gradually grew.
"Put these bean sprouts and lotus root sticks in there." Situ Nanyun didn't wait for the other party to answer, and put the dishes into the hot pot one by one, as if they were good partners to carve up this big meal at this moment.
Bai Mu Yao added an "um" in hindsight, but it was obviously lagging behind the "new member" who had made a sizzling sound in the boiling soup.
A breakfast was divided up with the tacit cooperation of the person who came.
After eating, Situ Nanyun felt that the atmosphere was a little weird, and when she left, she frowned and said, "Thank you." ”
The corners of Bai Mu Yao's mouth hooked, which was regarded as a response.
Situ Nanyun came back and saw the girl hesitating at her door, and she was just about to speak.
The girl turned her head and looked at her coming with a full expression, a little surprised, and hurriedly spoke: "Girl, I saw that you didn't get up today, so I brought the food to your stove room and heated it, and then came to look for you several times, but I didn't see your people, I was worried that you were hungry, so I simply waited for you here." ”
This was what Situ Nanyun heard her say the most, and she smiled, "Thank you, I've eaten it." ”
"Huh? Where did the girl eat? The girl asked in surprise.
"With him...... Your master. Situ Nanyun mentioned that person, and felt a little awkward in his heart.
"Oh......" The girl was very surprised, and it took a while for her mouth to close.
