Chapter Eighty-Five: Caught
In this way, Xiao Lin lived in Shen Yeling's house, lived in Shen Yeling's original study, and pushed open the window to the small flower garden carefully designed by Shen Yeling, which was originally a style of cultivation after he was tired of reading books.
With Duan Changqing's death, this style was gradually covered with a thick layer of haze.
Since Xiao Lin felt that it didn't matter, Shen Yeling also lived with her, usually as long as she didn't leave the yard, she wouldn't go to look for her, at most, she just passed by to take a look at her when she went to see Xu Man.
He won't let the apprentices bother Xiao Lin, but he will let the old mother take care of Xiao Lin's diet and daily life, and deliver three meals a day to her at the door.
The courtyard also goes out as little as possible, and usually only people go in and out of the food delivery, and it is very rare to see her wandering at the door, plus Zhang Raoshun is still worried about this case and ran to Xiaolin several times to ask about it, and finally came with interest and returned disheartened.
The flower garden outside the window made it impossible for the police to collect any evidence, and finally removed the marked cordon. That cold pool is still a cold pool, but no one lingers on its beauty anymore.
Xiao Lin usually either stayed in the study or ran to the edge of the pool in a daze, or went to talk to Xu Man when Xu Man's fever subsided.
The doctor who treated Xu Man was really rejuvenated, and a few sporadic strokes really subsided Xu Man's high fever, if she wasn't still sentimental about Duan Changqing, her weak problem could still be improved.
In the process of serving Xu Man with Zhang Shangzhi on the side, he gradually realized that half of Xu Man's illness was still in his mood and was bored.
Watching Xiao Lin sneak to the next room to see Xu Man every time, she was unconscious, although she seemed to be asleep, but she was worried about when she fell asleep and had a tendency to not wake up. But he couldn't disturb her, and the stone often stared at the side without daring to blink for a moment, cautiously observing her breath.
A group of people were worried about Xu Man's affairs, and Xiao Lin was embarrassed to disturb, but when Xiao Lin once slipped into the next room to see Xu Man, she really bumped into her luck, and Xu Man woke up.
Xu Man looked at her with half-lowered eyelids and a tired face, no matter how long she rested, she was still like this, but her eyes looking at Xiaolin were still the same as before, not disturbing the calm of autumn water.
And then there was more guilt for Xiaolin Yuxin: "This matter is also bitter for Miss Xiaolin", she still attributed Duan Changqing's death to herself.
If it weren't for his own reasons, Duan Changqing would not have rushed to the grass platform to judge them, let alone be pushed down by Luo Mingyuan, resulting in his current madness, and he would not have been pushed down and drowned without even a little common sense. The origin of all the intricacies is because of oneself.
Xu Man felt that he was even more guilty than the murderer who killed Duan Changqing for a while, and he was depressed until now, and he only had to lose his body.
Xiao Lin stepped forward, she first shook her head and then asked about Xu Man's condition with a concerned face, Xu Man's body with only skin wrapped around bones, and at a glance, she knew that she was not lightly ill.
Xiao Lin copied a chair and sat beside Xu Man obediently, Xu Man automatically changed into the identity of the hostess of the house, and said implicitly that she should live and relax.
Xiao Lin also nodded happily, and the candy that Xu Man brought over, this candy was wrapped in platinum paper, and there was a string of fancy foreign characters written on it, which was not like something that could be easily bought by going to a department store.
Xu Man's candy was also taken from the side of the small desk within his reach, and he saw that the candy in Xiao Lin's hand was not only on the table, the bells and whistles were packaged, and the toffee and chocolate were everything, so that a child would be tired of eating here until the end.
Xu Man followed Xiao Lin's line of sight and also noticed the place where the candy was placed, so he smiled: "This was originally ordered by Erlang to be placed here, he was afraid that I would think the medicine was too bitter in my usual life, and I would still be as sweet as honey in my mouth after drinking some sugar."
It's really considerate and good, and it's not wrong at all that the outside said. Suddenly, an inexplicable emotion flashed in Xiao Lin's mind: "Ye Lingjun is really good, not only for Madame, but also for us outsiders."
She looked her eyes up and down on Xu Man, and didn't feel that she had anything wrong with her words, so she said: "Madam, I can't hide that my feelings for Ye Lingjun are the same as yours, and I also like them, just like the kind of liking that the women in the palace in "The Tale of Genji" like the light source, but they don't like it because of their good faces, but because they really like it."
Xu Man then remembered Kobayashi and her "The Tale of Genji", the owner of the light source lost his mother since he was a child, and the women around him who were too noble all took him as the object of his longing, but he fell in love with his mother's barnacle who had a similar face to his mother.
She seems to have forgotten whether it was the light source's mother or the object of her affection that Xiao Lin gave her, in short, the two are very similar, and Xiao Lin's gift is also very accurate. Isn't Xu Man just because he is very much like Shen Yeling's mother, so he was ransomed and married him after a few tosses.
However, Shen Yeling didn't have the light source's love for her, but just used her to express the little thoughts she had for her mother. As one of those women who admires Shen Yeling, she will also be as generous and calm as her mother, but she continued to nod her head unhappily, looking at Xiao Lin, with a slight smile in the corner of her eyes: "Then did you go and talk to Erlang?"
Xiao Lin was surprised by Xu Man's calm look, looked at her with round eyes, nodded stupidly, and replied to her words: "I talked to Ye Lingjun once, and that time he tried to avoid me on the contrary."
Xu Man shook his head: "That's not right, he should make it clear to you, how can he avoid you without saying anything."
"He said it", Xiao Lin blushed and said: "He rejected me at the beginning, but I still don't want to give up, madam, I envy you, Ye Lingjun is willing to marry you, and he is so good to you."
Xu Man sighed again and shook his head, Xiao Lin didn't understand the situation she was in, turned his head and said truthfully to her: "There are indeed a lot of people who like Erlang, I remember that when we first arrived, there was a girl who sang music and also fell in love with him, and he also avoided it like this, so the girl didn't have to bother, Erlang is like this to people."
Xiao Lin blinked, she now looked at Xu Man's attitude of speaking to her, not like a jealous woman who was jealous of her husband's jealousy, but more like a person who had come over, telling the experience to the novice who was about to embark on this road, as if she could get her golden and jade good fate and be used for a lifetime.
Xiao Lin was a little curious: "I should have treated my wife differently before, at least I wouldn't let him escape like us."
Xu Man smiled, his eyes were sluggish, and he seemed to remember the bad past again, the long-standing young man stood in front of her, an abandoned pregnant woman, and said that he wanted to marry her. It wasn't long before she learned that it was not her who had married, but his mother's misfortune.
Rubbing Xiao Lin's head, he said softly: "I'm the same as Barnacle, because I look like his mother, so I got married."
Xiao Lin made a round 'oh' on his mouth and suddenly realized, and then remembered the barnacle-shaped puppet he had unintentionally sent to Xu Man, but he didn't expect that he still had this meaning and asked: "Ye Lingjun also likes Mrs. like the light source clan loves barnacles."
Xu Man shook his head, she was actually the same as Xiaolin and them, even worse than them, Shen Yeling would run away when she saw them, but Shen Yeling saw her This is the concern of a son seeing his mother, and there is no trace of lust on his face.
He didn't know whether this heart was cold or hot, he hid it, and in short, no one gave it.
When Xiao Lin came back from Xu Man's room, she covered her head and face with a quilt, and began to think about Shen Yeling, she never forgot the last sentence she said when she came out of Xu Man's room, which was a little arrogant: "You can't do it, I mean I have a way to get Ye Lingjun's sincerity and let him go with me."
Xu Man, who was used to being calm, showed surprise that she hadn't seen for a long time because of her words, and then she smiled and had enough confidence in Shen Yeling: "Then you can try."
Having said that, she didn't know how to say these arrogant words, as if she had a bottom in her heart. There is a way to capture the hearts of others, but she is only a child under the age of seventeen, and she can't experience any storms and waves when she is just starting out.
Thinking of this, Xiao Lin straightened up with a carp on the bed and sat up straight.
I saw that the sky was dark, and the moonlight was spilling through the windowsill obliquely, and it had reached the top, and there was no kerosene lamp in the house, and the old mother had put the meal on her table early, and when she saw her lying on the bed, she thought she was asleep, so she didn't wake her up.
Now that the food has already been cold, she is not in the mood to eat, she raised her eyes and saw the small pool in front of the window, recalling whether Shen Yeling would be lying on the bed looking at the moon like this when she lived here, and sat up to look at the small pool.
So he was curious, and walked out of the door with a kerosene lamp to the small pool that Shen Yeling had seen every day, and squatted next to him and thought for a long time.
When a drop of dew the size of a bean gathered in the grass and hit her feet, she stopped thinking, took off the clogs and shoes and socks on her feet, rolled up her sleeves, pulled up the hem of her kimono, picked up a shovel from nowhere, and plunged herself into the bottom of the pool.
Fortunately, this pool is not deep, and an ordinary man can cover his two legs when he plunges into it, and now she can reach her waist when she jumps down, and she doesn't care about the dampness of her clothes, she grabs a shovel and shovels it at the bottom of the pool.
After a handful, the bottom of the pool still did not see the color, and she shoveled another handful, and she shoveled it very lightly, as if she could not touch or fall the things she found from the ground.
After a few steps to shovel the mud, a white reflection of the water waves from the bottom of the pool turned up, saw this thing overjoyed to squat down directly, the whole body was soaked at the bottom of the pool, halfway up to change the head for several breaths.
Finally, a ceramic jar was pulled out by her at the bottom of the pool, and not long after the bottom of the pool appeared in the moonlight, it was snatched away by another large and powerful hand.
Xiao Lin stood at the bottom of the pool in a panic and looked at him, and the man in between, carrying a kerosene lamp, was burly, looked like a familyman, and had an unfamiliar face.
He pulled the kerosene lamp in and shone it on Kobayashi's face, trying to look more carefully, and then shifted his gaze to look at the ceramic, and the trajectory of the dust of history, as if he could see its preciousness from it.
Then he smiled and said, "I'm ashamed that I've been monitoring you here for a long time, what the Seventh Master said is really right, you are really a kimono woman."
