Chapter 23: Xuemei didn't pay attention
The snow is falling again, and Hui Niang said that this is the last snow of the year.
Lin seemed to be standing by the window, looking at the snow outside the house.
"Hey, aren't you going to play?" Zhang Pao walked behind her, pointed outside, and said.
It was already pitch black outside, and the candlelight in the room was shining through, and the snow on the plum tree could be faintly seen reflecting the moonlight, a silvery white.
"No, the snow is too thick, and the shoes and socks will get wet." Lin seemed to withdraw his gaze from the outside, turned his head, closed the window, walked to the table, and sat down.
"Hey! I said, since I received that letter today! You've been like this all day! Zhang Pao also turned around with her, shrugged his shoulders, and spread his hands out, "What did you say in that letter?" ”
Lin seemed to sit at the table, turned around, and didn't look at him, "What are you doing, you have also been my guard for a few months, and your injuries are healed, wait a while to get the moon column from Hui Niang, let's go." Also, don't go to a big family to beg when you have a banquet in the future. ”
Zhang Pao originally came to try his luck because of the birthday of his sister-in-law in the city lord's mansion to see if he could find a few leftovers, but he accidentally bumped into his son-in-law's clothes, so he was pushed and shoved by a group of fox friends and dogs of his sister-in-law to solve the problem and teach him a lesson, so there was the one in front of Lin Ruyuan. Lin seems to have asked Huiniang to inquire a long time ago.
Lin Ru's face was a little red, and he didn't understand how Lin Ru's attitude changed so quickly, "You... You... What the hell is wrong with you? ”
"It's okay, I just think you probably don't belong here." Lin seemed to see him like this and smiled.
Zhang Pao admitted that in the past few months, he has been really depressed, and he can't go except for the small courtyard like Lin.
However, these months are the most lively months in Lin Xiang's life.
Climb trees, go up rooftops, build snowmen... These things that she never dared to think about before, in the past few months, she has actually done all of them! Lin seems to think that Zhang Pao may be a birthday gift from God! Such a good gift, how could she let him accompany her through her predicament?
"Don't you belong?" muttered Zhang Pao, and he sat down on the right side of Lin Ru, "Indeed, I don't belong, and you don't belong here!" Come with me! I'll take you away. ”
Lin seemed to look at him, his expression seemed to loosen, and in an instant, he reacted again, "No." I belong here, this is my 'home'! ”
The room fell silent.
Lin seems to have a sentence that he didn't say. --Hui Niang's family is here, I'm gone, they... Probably all of them... Die, right?
Zhang Pao's body trembled slightly, and without saying a word, his fists slowly clenched, and finally he ran towards the door, his pace a little unsteady.
The door was rudely opened, and a chill drifted in. Lin seemed to feel a chill and looked at Zhang Pao who was running out.
It seemed that a bit of chill flowed over his face, and with a "pop", it fell to the ground without splashing half a splash.
There was a rumor in the room, whether it was lamentation or rejoicing, "It's good to be gone, it's good to be gone..."
She doesn't plan to be "performed", when the time comes, when she has the opportunity to leave the house, she will let Hui Niang's family escape halfway, and then... She... After all, wherever you go, you will suffer a scourge, it is better to have a foot of white silk, and understand the rest of your life... If Zhang Pao didn't leave, it would probably be impossible for him to escape with Hui Niang, right? At that time, she was going to have a headache!
Lin's idea seems feasible, but it is still too immature after all. Won't Hui Niang's family get him arrested? And... Whether she can die is a question.
……
Zhang Pao looked at the letter in Hui Niang's hand, and his whole popularity trembled.
"Why didn't you tell me sooner!" He yelled at Hui Niang.
"Oh, what's the use of telling you! You poor boy, don't think I can't see your dirty thoughts about my young lady! Hui Niang intervened, with a look of disdain, "If you don't have the ability to protect my young lady, you will only yell at me, an old woman?!" ”
Zhang Pao stopped talking, and didn't make a sound for a while.
"I also heard the conversation between you and my young lady, if you want to take it away, take it away quickly, and in the future, find a better in-law for my young lady!" Hui Niang suddenly waved her hand and said, her expression was a little kind, "I know, Miss is gone, and everyone in our courtyard will suffer, but Miss is so pitiful, my wife has to take care of her anyway, how can I make Miss embarrassed?" ”
Zhang Pao's expression was a little shocked, and he looked at Hui Niang incredulously.
"You ......"
"Bump!" Suddenly there was movement outside the door.
"What people!" Zhang Pao reacted extremely quickly, grabbed the door and grabbed the person outside the door.
"Brother Oar, Mama Hui... I... I didn't hear anything... What was not heard... Leave me alone... Please let me go..."
Zhang Zhi looked at the little girl in his hand, who was the fourth person in this courtyard. The girl who usually does laundry for Lin.
He saw that her fingers were ulcerated, and he specially grinded her herbs for chilblains.
In the past few months, he also knew how Hui Niang treated her.
It's a pity that Lin seems to have no idea at all, and Lin seems to have called her to play together, but she refused, and over time, Lin seems to stop calling her.
"Smack!"
The slap was particularly crisp in the room.
"Cheap girl! How dare you eavesdrop on me? Isn't it fat?" Hui Niang lowered her voice again and roared.
"No, no, no, the slave is willing to die for the young lady!" She couldn't care about the burning pain on her face, and quickly kowtowed.
Zhang Pao closed his eyes, even he could see it, how could Hui Niang not see that the direction that this girl had just escaped from was the main entrance... What about running out of the front door? What can you do but tell the person in charge of the City Lord's Mansion that Lin seems to be running away?
Sure enough, Hui Niang sneered and slapped it again.
Zhang Pao didn't have the heart to watch this farce, he ran away.
He knew that the final fate of that little girl would probably be... Die?
But... If she doesn't die... So, Lin seems to probably never be able to get out, right?
"Hehe... I'm like... For the sake of selfish desires... And abandon conscience? I couldn't see his face clearly, and there was only one sentence left in the air.
When he passed by the room, he jumped down, broke off a bright plum branch, and dropped a pear blossom.
He gently placed the plum blossom by her window, "Don't be afraid, how can I... It's up to you to face it all by yourself. ”
He knew that she hadn't fallen asleep.
Zhang Pao rushed directly to Lishan, where there was a fox he had saved when he was a child. The fox gave him a red rope, saying that he would come to Lishan if he had something to do in the future, pinch the rope, and it would appear to help him.
But Zhang Pao knew that as early as the moment he stepped on the City Lord's Mansion, the fox began to pay attention to this matter.
"After that... The fox and Zhang Pao plan a series of things... That's what you later knew..."
Feng Ya listened quietly, "The fox is you, right?" Chun Niang?"
"Hmm~ Is it an accident?" Chun Niang raised her eyebrows.
"No, no, no..."Feng Ya waved her hand again and again, "But why... Hui Niang, she said that you are..."
That's because all of this is just wishful thinking. Lin like... From beginning to end, he was only regarded as a 'birthday gift' from God, or a good friend... There has never been any other affection for him. ”
