Chapter 180: The Furthest Distance
It was already dark, and if Xiao Song stayed any longer, Xing Niang was afraid that she would drive people away, so she left with Wanlu.
Out of the inner doorway, Xiao Song suddenly said to the evening green, "It's late, it's not safe for you to go out alone, just because I'm going to the yamen, and by the way, I will order someone to release them." ”
The county government is some distance from the cell, and it is not on the way to Xiao Song.
Wan Lu didn't doubt him, thinking that there were not enough people in the yard, and she was so afraid of Xiao Song that she dared to refuse, so she hurriedly bowed and thanked her, "Thank you Xiao Langjun." ”
"No problem." Xiao Song replied lightly, and then raised his feet and walked out of the outer curve door.
Evening Green breathed a sigh of relief and returned.
Xiao Song saw the official waiting at the door and beckoned to him.
The official had a low status, and he had never seen Xiao Song at all, but when he saw the purple robe on his body, he also guessed his identity, and greeted him tremblingly, "Xiao Shilang." ”
"I don't have time to recognize people right now, so I'll lock them up overnight." Xiao Song paused, and then said, "I remember that the cell opposite Zhuang Yin was clean and spacious, and you transferred the two of them to that room." ”
"Xiao Shilang, have you remembered? There were felons' cells, filthy and tight. The official reminded in a low and flattering voice.
Xiao Song glanced at him coldly, "I'm not old yet, I have a good memory." ”
The flat tone didn't know what it sounded gloomy, and a cold sweat broke out in the officer's head, although he didn't understand what Xiao Song meant, but he didn't dare to ask again, thinking that what you said was it, it's a big deal to change a clean room.
Xiao Song glanced at the servant, how could he not understand his thoughts, and said, "I'm talking about the room opposite Zhuang Yin, if I see it tomorrow, isn't it...... You get the consequences. ”
He lightly dropped this sentence and walked towards the yamen with his hands in his hands.
The official looked at Xiao Song's back and muttered in a low voice, "Then Zhuang Yin is almost rotten, and even I don't dare to look at it, so that someone is locked up in front of him?" ‘
Could it be that these two are fake? Or did you offend Xiao Shilang? The servant trotted back to his cell with a puzzled face and moved them around.
When I returned to the courtyard, I saw a man nestled under the corridor in the flickering light of the lantern, his small body curled up in a ball, his head buried between his legs, and only his bare head could be seen.
"Phantom Sky?" Evening Green called softly.
Phantom Kong raised his head, his little face was full of tears, and his big eyes were swollen like walnuts, and when he saw the evening green, he suddenly sobbed and sobbed, "I can't find my senior brother, woo woo woo ......"
Wanlu thought about it for a long time before remembering that Sang Chen called Huaiyin his uncle, Huaiyin and Jinghui were monks and nuns of the same generation, and the senior brother that Phantom Kong said must be referring to Sang Chen.
Since Ran Yan was seriously injured, she has been busy all day long, and she has never seen the phantom sky these days, and she actually forgot about the phantom sky, "Sang will be in a while, this lady hasn't slept yet, do you want to go to her?" ”
Phantom Kong grew up in the temple since she was a child, and Jingyuan never taught, so she didn't know anything about human affairs, and she didn't want to visit patients at all.
Phantom wiped his eyes with his sleeve and choked up, "It's okay not to skip words."
"Of course, my lady likes you very much." Wan Lu grabbed her hand and led her back to Ran Yan's bedroom.
Ran Yan had just finished washing, and when she saw the phantom sky, she couldn't help but smile, and her voice gave people a gentle feeling because of her weakness, "I haven't seen you for a few days, and you won't come to me?" ”
Seeing that Ran Yan was gentle, Phantom Kong was a little less timid, and whispered, "Senior brother said that it's not safe outside, so let me not run around." ”
These days, Jushui County is full of murder cases, and it is not surprising that Sang Chen has said this, but Phantom Kong is really obedient and obedient to stay in the room, obviously trusting and relying on Sang Chen excessively.
Ran Yan couldn't help but think, how did two extremely insecure people snuggle up to each other and give each other courage?
Ever since Phantom Kong saw Jingyuan die in front of her, she has become more and more timid, maybe in front of weaker people, Sang Chen can also open his arms and hold up a piece of the sky
"Ran Niangzi, what about the time of senior brother?" Phantom Kong sat down next to the couch, grabbed the corner of his clothes and asked uneasily.
Ran Yan smiled faintly, "Sang and Doctor Liu went out to run errands together, later, if you are afraid, stay with me, or sleep with Night Green." ”
"Hmm" Phantom Kong responded happily, and immediately noticed that Ran Yan's hand was tightly wrapped, and said worriedly, "Ran Niangzi, are you injured, does it still hurt?" ”
Ran Yan listened to her childish concern, and the smile on her face was even bigger, "It doesn't hurt, it will be the same as usual in a few days." Have you suffered all the way with Sang? ”
"No, my brother is fine, he also taught me to read and write, and also taught me to play the piano." Phantom replied with a smile, and when it came to stroking the qin, Phantom Kong said proudly, "Senior brother said that I learned the piano very quickly, and I will be able to catch up with him soon." ”
"yes, that Phantom Sky is smarter than me." Ran Yan also complimented her words.
"Don't be sad Ran Niangzi, senior brother said that the ruler is long and the inch is short, and Ran Niangzi is very brave." Phantom Sky sincerely comforted.
Ran Yan listened to the "mulberry-style" style of the phantom sky, and immediately wondered if it was really good to let the phantom sky learn from Sang Chen.
"Got some more?" Ran Yan asked.
"Chess, tea ceremony, but my brother usually talks to me more about Buddhist scriptures, and my brother has read a lot of Buddhist scriptures" Phantom Kong's eyes were bright, full of excitement and worship.
Maybe in the phantom hollow, Sangchen can also be a solid mountain. Ran Yan said, "What do you think of Sang's lectures?" ”
Phantom Kong replied truthfully, "Senior brother said that he didn't have a wisdom root and didn't understand the meaning of the Buddhist scriptures, but he only explained to me the meaning of the rare words and let me understand it." ”
After some questioning, Ran Yan felt that Sang Chen should be born to become a celebrity and a great Confucian, with teaching and educating people as his goal.
After chatting for a while, Ran Yan saw that Phantom Kong was a little sleepy, so she asked Wanlu to take her to rest, and Gelan was on duty at night.
Ran Yan was lying on the couch, although she was full of tiredness, she couldn't sleep, and she was thinking about the case that Xiao Song told her during the day.
Su Fu once said that his mother was a killer, and Concubine Yang must have had a purpose in giving this pair of orchids to Su Shengbai back then, since this is the case, is it possible that Su Luan's mother is also a killer?
From this, it is possible for Su Luan to be as strong in martial arts as Su Fu?
She had both a motive and a condition for killing...... And that string of jewels...... The string of jewels...... Ran Yan stared straight at the dim moonlight that came through the lattice window, and repeatedly wondered whether he should inform Xiao Song about this.
Su Fu told her this out of trust, and if she told Xiao Song about it, would it be considered a betrayal?
This question has been bothering Ran Yan until she is extremely sleepy, and then she slowly falls asleep.
Early the next morning, Sang Chen and Liu Qingsong were released with innocent faces.
Seeing Zhuang Yin**'s body, that terrifying appearance, even Liu Qingsong was a little stunned, let alone Sang Chen, who had a rabbit gall?
Sang Chen learned from Liu Qingsong's babbling words that it was Ran Yan's poison, he was horrified, walked out of the cell to breathe fresh air, but suddenly remembered Liu Qingsong's words last night: The farthest distance in the world is not that you love her and she doesn't love you, but that you love her and are afraid of her.
All along, Sang Chen only understood that he wanted to be with Ran Yan, as for love, whether he fell in love with Ran Yan, he was not sure, but now he clearly understood that he was afraid of her.
Last night, the frost fell, and the dead grass on the roadside was covered with a white layer of frost, shining in the sun, and the air was cool to the heart and lungs.
Xiao Song stood in the attic on the side of the cell, still wearing a purple robe, leaning lazily against the window, the tea cup in his hand was steaming, permeating his eyes, but it did not prevent him from observing Sang Chen's expression.
After looking at it for a while, he took a leisurely sip of tea, a smile of unknown meaning overflowed from the corner of his lips, put the cup on the table, and turned to go downstairs.
In the next few days, there were no moths, and the life was smooth and peaceful.
Ran Yan never had nightmares again, and occasionally dreamed of a special corpse that had been dissected, which didn't count as far as she did.
Xiao Song would talk to her from time to time and take her out to bask in the sun. She also reminded Xiao Song that Su Luan might be good at martial arts, but she did not explain the reason, and Xiao Song did not ask.
And Sang Chen has been buried in the house directly since then, haunted all day long, and jumped when he saw people.
Until the early morning of the first day, Su Fu sent people to invite Ran Yunsheng and Ran Yan to watch the play. This time, Su Mansion did not feast guests, but only invited a few lively and lively families that have close contacts on weekdays.
"Lady, there are some wounds on your body that have not yet come out of the scab, but you can get some." Xing Niang was giving Ran Yan a neat care for her clothes, and she was tireless in chattering.
Wanlu also nodded and said, "Shilang said, I will go to Luoyang in a few days, it is much more interesting to recuperate in Luoyang than in Jushui County, and we can still go out to play." ”
Xing Niang scolded with a smile, "Just play"
"But too, I also want to go to Luoyang to have a look." Ran Yan originally had the intention to see this famous city, "It's just that my injury didn't delay the tenth brother." ”
Before Xing Niang and Wanlu could answer, they heard Ran Yunsheng's smiling voice outside the door, "I haven't even entered the door before I hear Ah Yan's heartwarming words." ”
Since the last time Ran Yunsheng came from Luoyang, he was restless, and until today, for the first time, Ran Yan felt that he was back to normal, and he was relieved, "Tenth brother, come in." ”
Ran Yunsheng walked into the room, he was dressed in a white round-necked beard suit, wearing a black head, his face was like a moon, and his sideburns were like a knife.
"Those businesses have been taken care of by Aya before, even if I am not there, it will be fine, Ah Yan does not need to worry." Ran Yunsheng said.
Ran Yan nodded, glanced at Ran Yunsheng again, and commented, "The more plain the tenth brother wears, the more graceful he is." ”
Ran Yunsheng was surprised, "Don't you skip words."
Wan Lu and Xing Niang both echoed, and Ran Yunsheng's face changed, not unhappy or happy, but a little worried.
Ran Yunsheng has always been dissatisfied with his appearance, but he has never been so abnormal, Ran Yan secretly wrote it down in his heart, but he never asked.
After Ran Yan packed up, the two took their gifts, boarded the carriage, and went to the Su Mansion in the east of the city.
The carriage went smoothly all the way, and it was about half a moment before it reached the place.
Compared with the usual desertion, today is obviously a little more lively, there are four carriages parked at the door, Steward Mu has been waiting at the gate, saw Ran Yunsheng get out of the car, and strode up to meet him.
Yes By].
