Chapter 8: The Race for the Deer (2)
Bao Yuanshi came to see me near dinner time, and saw that I was packing up with Ming'er, and his face was slightly surprised, and said, "Rui'er, why are you packing up your things?!" ”
I raised my eyes and stared at him, and said for a moment: "Rui'er has been here with Meng Lang for more than half a month, and it is estimated that it is time to go back." ”
Bao Yuan nodded and sighed when he heard this: "After all, Rui'er knows my heart best." As he spoke, he stepped forward and grabbed my wrist and said, "Then I'll send you back tomorrow first......"
"Aren't you going back with me?" I was surprised.
"There are still some military affairs to be discussed."
"Then I'll wait for you to go back with you."
"You go first, and I'll join you."
"But...... "I wanted to say something, but I didn't say any more, I lowered my head and bit my lip, and I was caged with clothes for a while.
"Rui'er, you take Ming'er in the car first, and then I will ride a horse to chase you......" Bao Yuan's words were gentle and gentle, as if the husband was consoling the little woman who had returned to the province to go home first, but these words were not a good taste in my ears.
"Meng Lang, is there a problem with the war right now?" I suddenly thought of something, and I suddenly raised my eyes and stared at him and asked.
Bao Yuan's thick eyebrows frowned slightly, his eyes looking at me tightened, but a warm and gentle smile bloomed on his lips, "You are always so worried and sad, that's why you are so thin." As he spoke, he took my shoulders and said, "These days, I have been sleeping with me in the open and sleeping hard, and you have always eaten not much of the meals I asked them to prepare for you, but where is the discomfort on your body?" Have you ever asked Liluo to come and see it? ”
Knowing that he deliberately diverted the topic, it can be seen that his eyes are full of unbearability and pity, and I can't bear to ask about the things that make him anxious, so I have to change the conversation with him.
I was a little depressed after a dinner, Bao Yuan was distracted several times, and even I was deaf to talk to him, and it was really tricky to think about the battle with the Zhou army. I swallowed my meal silently, but my chest tightened.
Bao Yuan didn't eat much, and after telling Ming'er a few words, he hurried to discuss military affairs with the generals.
After putting down the dishes and chopsticks in my hand, my back began to ache again, and after telling Ming'er to clean up the dishes, I lay on the bed and thought wildly, and fell asleep unconsciously.
In my dreams, someone is always calling me "Rui'er...... Rui'er ...... "When I first heard it, it seemed to be my grandmother's voice, but when I listened carefully, it became Zhang Jizhao, and I suddenly felt a little panicked in my heart, struggling to wake up suddenly, and I was already in a cold sweat.
Zhang Jizhao, he, is he dead again? Thinking of this, my chest hurt as if I had been hit by something.
Looking up, the candlelight in the tent was dim, and Ming'er was sleeping soundly on the small bed beside her. I sat up slowly, wondering what time it was.
Soon there was a more sound outside the tent, and it turned out to be ugly and square. Thinking of the invitation note, I made up my mind, got up and put on my clothes, shoes and socks, put on a big hat, and put the whole person tightly into the hood.
Although it is the weather in July now, but now in the mountains, the night is deep and dewy, and as soon as I get out of the tent, I feel a chill invade, I tighten my big tightness, bow my head and go out.
"Who is it?" The guard guarding outside the tent asked.
"Me, Ming'er." I tried my best to imitate the tone of Ming'er's usual speech.
"Oh, Miss Ming. It's so late, where are you going? ”
"My master wants hot tea, I'll go boil some water."
Fortunately, the guards did not ask any more questions, and I walked slowly to the back of the tent, and the man in the letter only said that they would meet outside the tent, but did not say the location, which ...... Alas, was it too impulsive for me to come out like this?
At night, the mountains and forests are quiet and eerie, except for a crescent moon looming in the clouds in the sky. My heart throbbed in the darkness with sporadic campfires flickering in the distance, and the vague outline of the tent seemed to hide something unknowable.
Suddenly, there was the sound of footsteps trampling on dead branches behind me, and I couldn't help but be stunned when I looked back!
"Mr. Leave?!" I hesitated and whispered. How is he? How could it be him? My mind was racing through it, but I couldn't figure it out.
By the faint moonlight, the expression on Liluo's face was a little strange. He stared into my eyes, which were frighteningly cold.
"Why are you always so reckless?"
"I ......"
"How long have you been doing this?"
"Huh?!" I stammered, not understanding what was going on.
Liluo pressed into me step by step, and the cold light in his long narrow eyes was shining, and I could even see the anger hidden in those eyes. I flinched involuntarily and panicked.
"Say, how long are you going to do this?" Li Luo rushed in front of me with an arrow step, grabbed my right wrist, and the strong force of his fingertips made my wrist hurt in my heart.
I raised my eyes and looked at him in pain and confusion, "Mr. Li, I don't understand what you're talking about?" Is it the note you passed on? Xu was touched by the expression on my face, and the strength of his hands relaxed.
"Stamen, did you know that for a woman, too much curiosity is poison." He spat out the words word by word between his teeth, and the look on his face became more fearful.
"I, I don't understand ......"
"You don't understand?! You still don't understand? Anger burned again in Liluo's eyes, and the flames seemed to burn me to ashes in an instant, and I even began to believe that the next second he might want to break my neck alive.
"You, you, what are you doing?" Ming'er's hesitant and panicked voice suddenly came from the side.
Liluo and I turned our faces around the same time. Ming'er carried a lantern and stood timidly not far away looking at the two of us.
"Slap" Liluo shook off my hand fiercely, turned around and stood with his hands in his hands, silent.
I calmed down, held my aching wrist, and walked towards Ming'er step by step.
"Sister, what are you doing?" Ming'er's eyes were like a frightened fawn, and she asked with tears hidden in her eyes.
"Ming'er, why are you here?" I really don't know what Fang Cai is all about, but the atmosphere is embarrassing and almost crazy.
"I woke up and didn't see my sister, so I came out to look for it." Ming'er was talking to me, but her eyes were looking at Liluo for a moment.
"Well, I'm fine, I'm just going out for a walk, I don't want to meet Mr. Li." I tried to explain Fang Cai's situation, but in Ming'er's clear eyes, I could clearly see doubt.
"Could it be, could it be that ......" Ming'er bit her lip and said for a while: "It was Mr. Li who passed the note and asked my sister to meet?" ”
When I heard this, I was shocked, could it be that Ming'er misunderstood that I had a personal relationship with Liluo, this, how can this be good?
