It was really dark.

After the man who looked like the tower left, Ren Yan realized.

There is a small table clock in the closet, the brass clock face is carved with a small person sitting idly, and the winding movement pushes the hammer to swing from side to side, and the bell strikes seven times, and the outside is still dark and silent.

The people in the room began to mumble in their voices, and they had no time to discuss the uncertain future, thinking that they would be sure to survive tonight; Sitting outside was the man on the zenith, who cared about the life and death of the ants in this house.

Especially later, the window sash was illuminated as bright as day in a flash, and the noisy and boiling noise rushed in, squeezing the cramped space into a narrow shadow, pushing it to a dead end.

Those who are noisy are not normal movements, screaming and crying, don't carry them around your waist and carry them in your hands also come in handy, you come and I strangle a sky net, inside is death and outside may not be life.

I don't know which one in the room didn't hold back, and I cried in my throat.

This cry is not tight, the house is like a hornet's nest pierced by a pestle, a lighted haystack, and the sand and rocks are flying in the dark in the blink of an eye.

When he was dizzy from crying, he ran to the bright place. The door was locked on the outside, so he smashed the back of the table leg and chair to smash the window, and the good rhombic window was knocked into a dead tree branch in the cold winter.

Everyone scrambled to get out of the crack in the branch, and as soon as their feet hit the ground, they called someone to push back with a ring, like a fish that had bitten the bait and slipped out of the water, and fluttered blindly on the ground.

Ren Yan hid behind the curtain, shrunk into the corner, covered his mouth and didn't dare to speak. A pair of trouser legs put together a piece of sieve chaff, and the drum in my heart was about to burst.

Who are these people, and does it matter?

She has no courage or qualification to ask whether it is good or bad outside, but her own life and death are the top priority.

Soon, there was a stop in the wing. The hula outside was long and stopped.

The light dimmed, the lock on the door was opened, and squeaked—

Someone came in, holding a flashlight, swept around, lit two candles, and talked in a rambling manner.

Through the foggy curtain of cloth, look at the figure that speaks like the third housekeeper of the Gu Mansion, the God of Wealth who came to spread the ocean in the morning with a red paper bag. The God of Wealth said pleasantly that the engagement banquet was over, and Ming'er Hongpheasant Hall would not open for a day.

Another explanation is the meaning of the seventh master.

Only then did the crowd of people come alive, pushing and shoving, and running with their heads down from the open door, not daring to look around, nor daring to step on a little noise.

Ren Yan also drooped his head and blended in the crowd, and asked someone to lead out of the back door of the Gu Mansion.

It's not too late, and I didn't even see the shadow of a rickshaw in the alley; The beam of light in front of the house was pulled out of the empty street for a while, mixing into the thin mist, and it was very desolate.

The scattered crowd threw themselves into the desolation, their hot wheels under their feet, and fled in the direction of their homes.

Ren Yan entered the brick tower alley in a hurry, rushed into the courtyard and closed the door, leaning on it and still panting rapidly.

The Tong couple rested early, and only the four gentlemen's houses in the courtyard were light.

It was so coincidental that when Gu Ting heard no movement, the light on the opposite side never turned on; This will turn the river upside down, and these four will appear, calculated in advance.

On the pillars of the verandah, there were stars and red fires, and Mr. Zhang was leaning there smoking, and he greeted Ren Yan in the smoke: "Miss Ren is off work!" ”

Ren Yan answered, and stood on the hanging flower door to ponder, should he go back to the room directly, or should he inquire about something from him?

Mr. Zhang seemed to know her thoughts, so he put out the cigarette and compared it to the stone bench in the courtyard, and then raised his voice to ask his companion to bring a pot of hot tea, straight to the point: "Are you worried about the seventh master?" ”

"Yes."

Mr. Zhang didn't hide it from her: "We also just came back from the Gu Mansion, and we may have more than you know." ”

died in the middle of the engagement banquet, because Cheng Huiyu didn't show her face, and the accompanying mother was knocked unconscious in the car, and she couldn't understand how soon or late the girl from her own family was, or she didn't leave the house at all.

The old man of the Gu family was in a hurry, and he answered another phone call about the results of the cabinet election.

He was defeated, and he said that the top position and the head of various departments did not even fall into the position of clerk, so he ended his glorious career.

The people on the top of the sky fell down in an instant, knocking on the ground of Beijing City.

The tiger fell to Pingyang, but he was not bullied too miserably, and he also picked up the post of deputy envoy of the Northwest Review.

Half a big official, it can be regarded as a fat errand, that is, the deadline given by the boss is a little rushed, and the plane will be sent away tonight, and the son will take office.

When Master Gu was old, he asked someone to slap him in the face, but he couldn't withstand the ups and downs of the sea and didn't carry it in one go; On the one hand, he asked people to pack up his bags and drag his family to the west, and on the other hand, he ordered people to arrest the little beasts who ate inside and outside.

The little animal grows up, and the tiger with two wings can stab him in the heart as soon as he it down.

Mr. Zhang sighed softly: "If it weren't too thrilling, I should have asked you to come out and take a look at this game of Qiye Bu, which is wonderful." ”

Ren Yan could hear the clouds and mountains and fog, and the only thing he could understand was the fighting method of the Gu family's father and son.

She didn't quite understand what was important, the father and son were like this.

Mr. Zhang wanted to speak and stopped: "Tingwen and the Gu family can't coexist...... The last time he asked someone to be injured, it was the death order issued by Master Gu, and the people who did it were the old men of the Gu family, and they were not willing to kill Tingwen, and now they are all missing. ”

The father is not the father, and the son is not the son, and this kind of thing is not new.

But I heard that it was one thing, and seeing that it was another thing, Ren Yan was silent.

Mr. Zhang was also quite angry, wanting to smoke a cigarette slowly, and worried that the girl couldn't make a second time in front of him, so he drank two cups of tea to get better.

Ren Yan asked in a hoarse voice: "I haven't heard much, but the seventh master is the most favored, and the old lady is also ......."

Mr. Zhang shook his head: "Have you heard of the fifth master of the Gu family, and Tingwen are twins, and there is a quarter of an hour before and after, and it is also called the order of the old man Gu, what a good person......"

Ren Yan didn't speak again.

"The most important thing for the Gu family is their son."

Also, the fifteen-year-old aunt who was newly married by Master Gu last time is now pregnant.

Mr. Zhang got up according to the stone table and staggered: "The seventh master studied law before, and he changed his career because of the fifth master's affairs...... He wants to know the truth, he wants the fifth master underground to know the truth, and he also wants the world to know. ”

Someone has to wake up first and remember something for the sleeper.

Mr. Zhang didn't say anything more, said goodnight and went back to the house.

The light on the opposite side was on all night, and Ren Yan woke up from time to time, and he could always look at it clearly in a daze.

The next day, the Pheasant Hall was not opened, so I didn't need to go to work, but I still woke up at a moment's notice. Looking at the two girls with swollen eyes in the mirror, she was in a trance.

He put on his head and combed his big braid to fetch water outside, and when he pulled the door, there was a gentleman sitting under the porch.

Black pants and white shirt, the cuffs are strangled with armbands, the short black hair is covered with a layer of mist, and when he raised his head, he brushed it on the lenses: "Morning!" ”

Gu Tingwen smiled, took a handkerchief in his pocket and wiped his glasses.

Ren Yan held the hand of the copper basin, loosened it for a while, and tightened it for a while, his throat was dry and blocked, and he couldn't say a word.

How long has it been since we saw each other?

In fact, there is no time, but it seems like a year and a half apart.

He has lost weight in the past year and a half, and her heart has also shrunk, especially Mr. Zhang's words last night, his heart and eyes are like a sharp scraper, swishing to pick her meat.

Ren Yan lowered his eyes, went down the steps with a copper basin, and did not answer him.

Hey, why didn't you keep up?

She pricked up her ears to listen to the sound behind her, and the person sat there, not moving.

I was angry in my heart, and the footsteps became louder and louder, and I ran over and back, and when I washed, I made a loud noise of the water, and the world was turned upside down.

Nezha is about to overturn the sea, and the old god is still there.

Ren Yan that fire.

I poured a basin of water into the yard, and it could rain, and when I was ready to enter the door, the cuffs were pulled by someone: "Is it convenient, I have something I want to talk to you about." ”

You can talk about it if you want, virtue!

"Say it." If you don't have a heart, you will run out of your mouth.

"I'm not engaged."

I know.

"Something very bad happened at home, and I thought of some strategies to deal with it, so the previous news was deliberately hidden from you."

Is this an apology?

Ren Yan stood there, with his back to him, wanting to hear if there was anything else to say.

"Today's newspaper will publish the news that Hui Yu and I have broken off their marriage, because I am a well-dressed man, a naughty thief, and my front edge is scattered, and I am looking for another good match."

Ren Yan squinted at him, Miss Cheng's dissolution of the marriage contract, you know it clearly.

Cheng Huiyu is a gentle girl like spring water, how could such an unpretentious criticism come from her mouth, not to mention that in her eyes, Gu Tingwen is not bad.

Ren Yan stirred his hands, the movement just now was too big, and his palms were full of slippery water beads, which would make his heart fall into decline.

She thought for a moment and said, "I was there yesterday, and I listened to it twice. ”

Gu Tingwen asked, "What do you think?" ”

He broke off the marriage contract, and he was single, so many thoughts did she have, but how to say it?

Ren Yan lowered his head: "That night, I went to your house, blocked the door of your study and broke up with you, if you didn't hear it......"

"He Quan listened and told me a rough idea." There was a smile in his words.

Ren Yan suddenly felt that his face was hot.

What is going on, mustered up the courage to break up with someone, but it turned out to be a scene, and someone told the corner.

Gu Tingwen said: "Since the girl mentioned breaking up, she should comply. ”

Ren Yan's heart sank, and he twisted his face-

He was laughing: "A person of my age, when I meet a young girl again, I should pursue it seriously." These are the words I have waited here to say to you. ”

Her heart was beating with joy, beating lively, her ears were hot, and her words were out of order: "Then you have to see, how you pursue." ”

He smiled, and pushed the food box in his hand open, and there was a plate of mandarin duck crisp box inside: "Get up early and make a snack." ”

There are still that lines of words on the plate, and you have to compare your eyes to death, only envy the mandarin ducks and not the immortals.
