Chapter 31: Falling
Fu Tingyun's eyes lit up when he heard this: "So, Third Master Feng gave us one night to leave Lintong?" As soon as the voice fell, he became worried again, "After a night's work, can we get out of Lintong?" The two supple eyebrows like light feathers frowned together.
Zhao Jiuye looked at her and smiled slightly: "If you go straight to Xi'an Mansion from here, of course you can't." A hint of cunning flashed across his face, "But we can go south!" ”
"To the south?" Fu Tingyun's eyes widened.
"Yes, go south!" Zhao Jiuye's eyebrows were full of confidence, "It's only more than fifty miles south from here, and you will arrive at Xialuyu in Lantian County. We went to Xi'an via Lantian Province. ”
Fu Tingyun immediately understood: "Third Master Feng only said that we should leave Lintong overnight, but there is no stipulation that we must go to Xi'an Mansion!" Her big eyes bent into crescent moons, "Ninth Master, you are so cunning!" ”
Zhao Jiuye's smiling face seemed to become a little stiff in an instant.
Fu Tingyun was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that cunning didn't seem to be a complimentary...... It should be said that smart is ...... But if he changes it at this time, wouldn't it be that there are no three hundred taels of silver here, but let him misunderstand!
She smiled wryly and hurriedly changed the topic: "Ninth Master, will we have to make a few more detours from Lantian to Xi'an Mansion?" Do you want to redistribute water and food? ”
"Not really!" Zhao Jiuye's expression seemed to soften, "There are four city gates in Xi'an Mansion, we are just changing from Yongning Gate to Changle Gate, if we want to delay, it is just a delay for this night!" ”
It's okay, it's okay!
I don't know if I'm glad that Zhao Jiuye wasn't angry or glad that she chose the right topic again.
Fu Tingyun let out a long sigh of relief, and asked him with a smile: "Ninth Master, then let's leave now, shall we?" ”
"Hmm!" Zhao Jiuye nodded, but he didn't go to the temple immediately, but glanced at her: "What about the dagger I gave you?"
"Oh!" Fu Tingyun reacted, hurriedly ran to the side of the cart and found the dagger and handed it to Zhao Jiuye, "Here!" ”
Zhao Jiuye didn't answer, his eyes fell on the dagger: "Why don't you bring it with you?" ”
Fu Tingyun was a little embarrassed: "I won't use it......
Zhao Jiuye slowly took the dagger, pressed his thumb on the sheath, and the dagger popped out silently, and the snow-white blade shone brightly under the scorching sun, so bright that people couldn't open their eyes.
"See clearly!" He said slowly, sheathing the dagger again.
The dazzling light still remained in the bottom of her eyes, and Fu Tingyun looked at it with two spots of light in both eyes: "See clearly!" ”
Zhao Jiuye handed her the dagger: "Put it away!" ”
Fu Tingyun was stunned.
What does she want this for?
It's heavy, and there's no place to put it!
If you lose it, you'll be in trouble.
Just this hesitation, Zhao Jiuye's face was slightly gloomy, put the dagger back, and stuffed it into the small cart casually: "I'll go and take Ah Sen out!" ”
Hey!
Fu Tingyun looked at Zhao Jiuye's back suspiciously.
He wasn't going to give her the dagger, was he......
Thinking of this possibility, she broke out in a cold sweat.
If so, then what she did just now was too hurtful......
She took out the dagger and quickly followed: "Ninth Master, the things are too valuable, I'm afraid I'll lose them." ”
Zhao Jiuye, who was bending down to pick up Ah Sen, was slightly sluggish before slowly picking up Ah Sen, and turned to look at Fu Tingyun who was standing in front of him.
"Ninth Master!" She didn't evade, and looked directly at his gaze, "I see that the cloth strap on the handle of the dagger is all hairy, and I didn't take it out when I saw you in any danger before, it must be your beloved thing for many years." Now that we are traveling from place to place, if it were lost from my hands, I would be restless for the rest of my life. She handed the dagger to Zhao Jiuye, "You better keep it!" ”
Her clear apricot eyes are black and clear, like a babbling stream, you can see the bottom at a glance, serious and sincere.
Zhao Jiuye smiled.
She has always been frank and straightforward, but he is prejudiced against her, and often lives the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, which shows that he has grown up over the years, but his mind has not grown.
He took the dagger, his eyebrows and eyes stretched, and he was generous: "It's me who didn't think it through." I took the dagger and hid it under the floor of the cart, so that if you were in any danger, take it out. He smiled again, "I'm afraid that you don't have enough strength, and you won't hurt others but hurt yourself." ”
If it was in the past, Fu Tingyun would definitely think that Zhao Jiuye was mocking her, but this time, his smile was hearty, and there was a little banter, like his cousin who liked to laugh with her the most when he was a child, as long as he was with her, he had to make fun of her a few words before he gave up, making her feel kind.
She couldn't help but wonder.
The air is light-hearted and cheerful.
Fu Tingyun took a deep breath.
How nice is that!
Why do you always have to keep a straight face, which makes everyone feel heavy.
"I'm going to help Assen spread the straw mat." She went out laughing.
The corners of Zhao Jiuye's mouth curved into a pleasant arc.
※※※※※
They headed south overnight, accompanied by stars along the way.
Zhao Jiuye repeatedly told her: "If you can't walk, don't force it!" ”
Fu Tingyun responded with a smile, and after walking for about an hour, his feet gradually felt hard to lift up as if they were filled with lead, and the soles of his feet began to hurt.
She got into the cart.
Zhao Jiuye pushed them, breathing a little heavily.
"Otherwise, I'd better come down!" Fu Tingyun struggled.
"No!" Zhao Jiuye gasped, "I want to rush to Shangluyu overnight, so that I can also rush back today's delayed hour." ”
Zhao Jiuye's companions were waiting for him in Xi'an Mansion. The closer they are to Xi'an, the safer they are. Zhao Jiuye understood in his heart, and Fu Tingyun also understood in his heart that those words of consolation were weak and pale in this situation, so it was better not to say them.
She was silent and helped take care of Arsen.
When the sky turned white, they passed by Shangluyu.
Fu Tingyun couldn't hide the joy in his heart, took out the water bladder and handed it to Zhao Jiuye: "You drink saliva and rest!" ”
Zhao Jiuye didn't refuse, parked the small cart on the side of the road, took the water bladder and drank a few big sips.
Usually it's always a small bite, but today it's very bold!
Fu Tingyun thought about it, smiled and handed over a sweat towel: "Ninth Master wipe your sweat!" He found that his face was a little pale.
Walking makes people blush and sweat, and I've never heard of a pale-faced ...... Or maybe you're sick.
She was taken aback by this thought: "Ninth Master, are you okay?" His gaze was already a little suspicious, and he looked him up and down.
"I'm a little tired!" Zhao Jiuye wiped his sweat with a sweat towel and said with a smile, "It's been a long time since I traveled overnight!" ”
Is it?
The suspicion in Fu Tingyun's eyes became even stronger.
Arsen suddenly let out a few moans/moans.
Fu Tingyun turned sideways in surprise: "Asen! ”
Ah Sen opened his eyes: "I, I want to drink water!" ”
"Good, good, good!" Fu Tingyun responded, fed Ah Sen water, and peeled the only egg: "Keep it for you all the time, if you don't eat it, it will be bad." ”
Arsen grinned half-sided, taking small bites of eggs.
After a few bites, as if he suddenly remembered something, he pushed Fu Tingyun's hand away and looked around: "What about the master?" ”
"I'm here!" Zhao Jiuye walked over, "You don't say a few words, hurry up and heal your injuries, lest I push Miss Fu again and push you again!" ”
Really, I won't even say a word of comfort!
Fu Tingyun didn't look at him, just fed the eggs to Ah Sen's mouth: "Eat quickly!" After eating, let's help the ninth master sentry - the ninth master pushed us to drive all night, and it is time for the ninth master to rest! ”
"Ahh Ah Sen's mouth opened wide, "Ninth Master, your injury ......"
What hurt?
Fu Tingyun turned to look at Zhao Jiuye in shock.
"It's fine!" He said lightly, "Feng Laosi's knife is not next to me, otherwise, I would have fallen a long time ago!" ”
Both of them stared at him in unison, neither of them spoke, apparently not believing him.
Zhao Jiuye suddenly ripped off the placket on the left.
Fu Tingyun hurriedly covered his eyes: "Is there an injury?" "Ask Arsen.
"Nope!" Assen rejoiced.
"Eat quickly," Zhao Jiuye said stiffly, "I want to rest." ”
The two looked at each other and smiled.
When Zhao Jiuye fell asleep next to the cart, the two of them whispered, knowing that they were going to go to Xi'an Mansion through Lantian County, and Ah Sen also said the same thing as Zhao Jiuye: "It's just a diversion from Yongning Gate to Changle Gate." In two or three days, we'll be in Xi'an! ”
Fu Tingyun's heart moved, showing a thoughtful expression, and he didn't talk to Ah Sen for a long time.
The next night, they rested at a place called Changxing.
"Tomorrow will be the time of Shaolin!" Zhao Jiuye looked a little excited, which was a relatively rare emotion for him, "We will be able to go to Xi'an Mansion the day after tomorrow!" ”
Asen can also walk on the ground!
Fu Tingyun felt that the future was bright.
After thinking about it for a while, when she arrived at Xi'an Mansion, Zhao Jiuye didn't know if he would take her to live at the Yongfu Inn in Ping'an; For a moment he thought of who he would send to deliver a letter to his mother; For a while, I thought that my mother had received the letter, and I didn't know how to place her; For a while, I thought that she and the Yu family would quit and didn't know how to live their lives in the future; After a while, I thought again, Zhao Jiuye didn't know what his plans were when he arrived in Xi'an Mansion...... I didn't fall asleep much after tossing and turning, and my eyes were blue when I was woken up by Asen in the morning.
Zhao Jiuye just glanced at her, and then sat down to have breakfast.
The expression is quiet and the expression is calm.
But I don't know why, Fu Tingyun always felt that Zhao Jiuye seemed to be preoccupied.
Was he bothering about her?
Something that can make him nerve-wracking must be difficult to do!
Fu Tingyun guessed, and his mood also became low.
Sitting in the middle of them, Asen's face was full of confusion.
This is almost to Xi'an Mansion, everyone should be happy, why don't the Ninth Master and Miss Fu have a smile in their eyes?
The two adults did not speak, and the children did not dare to speak.
The three of them hurried in silence.
The sun seemed to be burning, so hot that people couldn't open their eyes.
Fu Tingyun, who was sitting on the small cart, sweated like rain, and kept wiping his forehead, chin, and neck with a handkerchief.
"Would you like some water?" She turned her head and asked Zhao Jiuye.
Under the noon sun, Zhao Jiuye's sweaty face was as white as paper.
"No need!" His voice was hoarse, and before he could finish speaking, his body began to shake from side to side.
"What's wrong with you!" Fu Tingyun screamed and jumped off the cart.
Zhao Jiuye had fallen on the dirt road with a "plop", raising a layer of yellow dust.
"Ninth Master!" Arsen cried and pounced.
