Chapter 8: Goodbye
It's like a nightmare again.
Fu Tingyun's mind was blank, and he didn't know how long it took to come to his senses.
How did he find her?
She was full of anxiety, but her body was limp and collapsed on the bed, unable to move.
The fear of him choking her neck overflowed from memory.
Say yes and nod your head...... Otherwise, you will die.
But the strength of the whole body seems to be drained.
She was anxious.
The hand covering her mouth slowly let go.
She let out a long breath, her back wet and sweaty.
"Do you know where the food in the nunnery is hidden?" He sat quietly in front of her bed.
In the dark, his eyes sparkled, like a cat she had once had, no, the cat's eyes were more docile than his, his eyes were cold, indifferent, without a trace of warmth, which made people afraid.
"No, I don't know!" Fu Tingyun said nervously, his voice stumbling.
He slowly sat up straight...... I seem to be a little disappointed...... The body gradually melted into the darkness...... She couldn't see his expression clearly, she couldn't feel his expression...... The eyes in the darkness, as if suddenly frozen in a layer of ice, shone brighter and brighter than just now, and more indifferent than just now, making her heart chill.
Fu Tingyun was like being drenched in cold water, shivering, and his head was much clearer.
He's here to eat!
There was a dog outside the house, and a maid on night duty inside the house, how did he come in without making a sound?
It was the green calyx who was on duty tonight, and she slept on the cool bed next to the bed, she ......
The thought flashed, and the image of the green calyx lying in blood suddenly appeared in his mind.
"What happened to your maid?" She hurriedly pushed him away and teased the tent.
Anger at the killing of the green calyx outweighed fear of him.
The moonlight shone quietly on the window lattice, and the green calyx bowed to her side on the cool bed with a calm and peaceful expression.
Fu Tingyun was stunned.
"I clicked on her." He said lightly, "If you don't understand it after a while, you will die." ”
She glared at him, a little trepidation in her eyes.
It didn't hurt anyone's life, and it came in.
He's amazing.
No wonder he didn't take her seriously.
Now what?
Fu Tingyun was apprehensive.
He sat motionless, silent as night.
She had a flash of inspiration.
If she had been useful to him, he wouldn't have taken her life so easily!
Holding on to a glimmer of hope, Fu Tingyun calmed down a little.
"Isn't there any food in the kitchen?" She asked softly.
He didn't say anything, just stared at her steadfastly, as if to ask her what she meant.
As long as he is willing to listen to her, there is hope.
Fu Tingyun was most afraid that he would kill her without saying a word.
"Not long after I woke up, the Nunnery's Fruit Wisdom Master noticed that the food and rice jars in the kitchen were gone," she said euphemistically, "and everyone thought it was a hungry little nun." Master Guozhi said that if it was a hungry little nun, she would steal a cake or a steamed bun at most, and she felt that something was wrong, so she went to Master Guohui, the presiding officer of the nunnery. As a result, Master Guohui said that these days Qingyang and Gongchang have been in great drought, and a large number of victims have poured in from Shangzhou and Tongzhou, and Shangzhou and Tongzhou are only a few hundred miles away from our Huayin. On the side of the granary, I'm afraid there has already been a perfect arrangement. ”
She reminded him that the two masters in the nunnery were calm and serious, quick thinking, and by no means general, and also hinted that he should not come nonsense, and if he wanted her life, he should not want to escape easily.
"If I suddenly run to ask like this, Guo Hui and Master Guo Zhi will definitely be suspicious." Even so, she didn't dare to force him, but still maintained her due courtesy, "I still have thirty vegetarian buns left over from dinner, if the strong man doesn't dislike it, it's better to fill his hunger for the time being, and it's not too late for me to slowly inquire where the food in the nunnery is hidden." ”
He stared at her, and something flashed in his eyes: "I can't see it, you're still a little smart!" ”
The tone is brisk, as if with a hint of banter.
Fu Tingyun was stunned.
Was he talking about her?
What is this?
Praise? Satirize?
In a trance, he was on his feet.
The sound of rustling is particularly clear and loud in the silence of the night.
Fu Tingyun was in a hurry.
Lonely man and widow, three watches in the middle of the night, if people find him in her room, she can't tell even if she has a hundred mouths. In addition, there is a Zuo Junjie in front of her, she is waiting to be poked in the back!
She wanted to grab the corner of his clothes.
"Didn't you say there are vegetarian buns?" He didn't have any scruples, his voice was not high but not a little lower, "I'm going to take it." ”
He commanded.
Fu Tingyun was overjoyed.
After taking the buns, he should be gone!
Thinking that she could send him away, she got out of bed lightly and found a beautiful blue coarse cloth in the stuffy cupboard.
"What is this?" His deep voice suddenly came from behind him.
They were so close that she could even feel his breath.
Fu Tingyun was very uncomfortable, and said busily: "This is the 'Four Things Pill' brought from home." I was afraid that he wouldn't understand, so he explained, "It's just that the Siwu soup is made into balls, which are easy to carry." ”
The beautiful blue coarse cloth in his hand was wrapped in medicinal herbs when Xiuzhu's family came last time, and when he was looking for the cloth just now, he turned out a few bottles of pills.
Without saying a word, he took the pair of small porcelain vases into his arms, as if the contents of the stuffy cupboard were his.
Fu Tingyun was stunned for a while.
Medicine should not be taken indiscriminately, otherwise it will cause a catastrophe
She thought about it for a while, and still said, "That's to replenish qi and blood." ”
He nodded, as if he understood.
Fu Tingyun's eyes widened, and a bold thought came to his mind.
He stole so much food, but after two or three days of quarantine, he came back to find food, and instead of going through the mirror on her table, he took the two bottles of pills for himself...... Isn't he alone?
So who is he?
A wanted Jiangyang thief or a fugitive who took his life in the township?
This kind of person is usually a person.
Refugee?
Dragging the family with the mouth, the weather is hot, the 100 hours are steep, there is no food or drink, some people can't stand it and get sick, so so much food can only be maintained for two or three days, I heard that it is a pill to replenish qi and blood and immediately put it in my arms.
But does the outcast have such good skills as him?
With just a few pieces of strength, he couldn't sneak into Jingyue Hall quietly.
The more she thought about it, the more confused she became, and the more she thought about it, the more she didn't understand.
He had already carried the baggage: "I'll come back tomorrow." ”
Come back tomorrow?
Fu Tingyun froze there as if he had been given a Dinghaishen needle.
He had delicately pushed open the window lattice, and his body rose and fell like a feathered swallow, and disappeared into the willow forest.
The plot depicting chivalry in the legend appeared vividly in front of her eyes.
Fu Tingyun was dumbfounded.
In the distance, there were a few barks.
The dog in her yard heard the movement and barked.
The green calyx is awakened.
She rubbed her worried eyes: "Miss Nine, why did you get up by yourself?" There is something called a slave and a maid. ”
Fu Tingyun let out an "oh", looked at her expressionless for a long time, and then went to bed as if sleepwalking.
Green Calyx didn't know what was going on, scratched his head, poured a cup of tea for Fu Tingyun, and just walked to the bed, Fu Tingyun sat up suddenly, his face was very bad.
"Miss Nine, what's wrong with you?" Green Calyx asked worriedly.
"Nothing!" Fu Tingyun said a few words vaguely, drank half a cup of tea and rested, but his heart exploded like water dripping in an oil pot.
He said, come back tomorrow!
Wouldn't that be up to her?
What if she can't find out anything?
She rolled over uneasily.
Could it really be that he could help him find out where the granary was?
Chen's mother also said this morning that those homeless people were wandering around, grabbing food when they saw it, and they did not hesitate to lose their lives for it. What if he gathered a crowd of displaced people to rob the granary of Biyun Nunnery? After all, Biyunan is all women, wouldn't it be her fault if she lost her life because of this?
If I knew this, I should have told Master Guohui about this.
The thought flashed, and Fu Tingyun turned over again.
What's the use of thinking about all of this now? Who knew he would come back to him? At this time, I told Master Guohui to listen, and didn't talk about the backyard, Master Guohui only asked "Why did you say it at this time", how did she answer?
When she woke up the next morning, Fu Tingyun's eyelids were blue.
Everyone knows her anxiety, so naturally no one asks about it.
After hesitating for a morning, Fu Tingyun finally summoned Hanyan and asked her to help inquire about the granary-her own throat was not good yet, so she didn't dare to speak at all.
Hanyan was busy for most of the day, but he didn't find anything.
What to do?
Fu Tingyun couldn't sit still when he thought that he would talk about it again at night.
Seeing the sunset, she couldn't do anything, and with the mood of atoning for her sins, she asked Hanyan to ask for thirty vegetarian buns.
With his eyes open until midnight, he arrived as scheduled.
Neither the dog nor the green calyx on duty made a sound.
Fu Tingyun was even more afraid in his heart.
Knowing that she had prepared thirty vegetarian buns for him, and that the handsome maid had been busy all day without inquiring about where the food was stored, he did not lose his temper, nor did he stare at her with his cold eyes, but said, "Then I will come back tomorrow," and walked away with the thirty buns.
One moment is gloomy and fierce, the other is crisp and neat, and she has to "come back tomorrow", Fu Tingjun felt that she was going crazy.
Early in the morning, Chen's mother called Lu Calyx: "Where are all those vegetarian buns?" ”
The green calyx didn't know, but she defended Fu Tingyun: "Miss Nine let us feed the dogs." ”
Mother Chen sat there drinking tea without saying a word, and the dreary atmosphere of the mountain rain made her calves tremble.
Just when she felt that she couldn't hold on, Mother Fan came in and whispered something in Mother Chen's ear.
The green calyx couldn't help but prick up its ears to listen.
Although standing in front of Chen's mother, Fan's mother's voice was too low, and she only vaguely heard a few words such as "letter from the house", "the eldest lady said", "will be back in a few days", "let you be careful" and so on.
Without waiting for Fan's mother to speak, Chen's mother signaled her to stop talking, and said a few words, "Now that the price of rice in Huayin has risen to three taels and two dollars and one stone, you don't want to rely on Miss Jiu's temperament, you still have to persuade when you should persuade" and something like that, letting the green calyx retreat.
Green Calyx glanced at the closed door and ran towards the main room where Fu Tingyun lived.
