Chapter 207: Crane Shadow

For Zhuang Yu, this night was quiet and turbulent.

Coming out of the Qin family's courtyard house, walking in Baiyue Nunnery at night, with a clear lamp, two vertical shadows touching the ground, the center is sour, and all shines on the ground. Silent was afraid that the Qin family would know, so she persuaded Zhuang Yu a few times, saying not to go, Zhuang Yu didn't listen to the persuasion, she was really annoyed, so she said: "If you don't want to go, go back if you have the heart to be lazy!" "I want to take the lamp and go by myself.

How dare Jing Mo reply to her mouth, her girl is quiet on weekdays, and she has never been angry, isn't she angry when she says such a thing?

Silently whispered: "I mean that if the girl doesn't go away, I will go." One day in Xifu, I felt sorry for the girl's fatigue. ”

Zhuang Yu didn't reply to her, just let Jing Mo say it to herself. In Zhuang Yu's heart, it is useless to say more, only what to do is useful.

The master and servant went out with an iron heart, and only then did they get out of the courtyard house on the Qin family's side, and suddenly heard a sound of footsteps, mixed with a rough wheezing sound. If it weren't for the silent reminder, Zhuang Yu wouldn't have paid attention to it.

said silently: "Girl, little aunt! ”

As soon as the voice stopped, the sharp voice of the little aunt came: "What did I say, the entire Dongfu went elsewhere." But anyone else sees the living dead here? Hang the lamp at night, it's dark, the girl can't see me in the dark, it's nothing, it's just that your brother is not seen in the daylight, pitiful, he doesn't give half a word. ”

Zhuang Yu heard this and stopped. She was irritable enough, and now she added these voices, and she became more and more irritable. Patience and quiet temperament on weekdays, this time it is like lighting a firecracker, and he will not stop if he doesn't make a sound, and said, "What is my aunt going to do?" ”

On the cloister, the little aunt was supported by a little girl, and she didn't see the lantern, her body has not been good since she gave birth, she is weak and weak all day long, and she is not surrounded by a few headscarves in the house, and she wears very little clothes, and she loves bright colors of clothes on weekdays. Zhuang Yu was distressed, and occasionally spoke positively, and also told the girl on her aunt's side to take good care of her. In the end, it was light and unpopular, but my aunt didn't listen to it much, and she still went her own way, so she boiled her body like this.

The little aunt said: "No one cares about us, so I naturally have to take care of it." If you have the heart, come with me to my wife. I don't ask for anything, I just ask them to let me go. ”

Zhuang Yu said: "If you can't serve a good aunt, you should be punished." The aunt should be of the same mind as the wife, and should not go to the wife to discuss this. Mrs. is so good for her aunt, how can her aunt say these words to annoy her. ”

The little aunt said: "Girl, you are the one who cares about me as a mother." The world's rites and shames take turns, and one day they will come to you, depending on whether you have defended yourself or who you have defended today. I'm an aunt, and I promise you will be an aunt in the future. Maybe you can live a life as an aunt holding the foot of the table in the main hall every day, and you can live a lifetime? ”

Zhuang Yu was ashamed and angry when her aunt said this, and in an instant, tears flowed, crying in her throat, and she couldn't spit it out for a while, which was extremely uncomfortable. Seeing that Zhuang Yu was trembling with anger, he said to the little aunt slightly: "Auntie, why do you bother to count our girl." What my aunt wants to do is herself, and she can't be angry with our girl. ”

The little aunt raised her hand and pointed to silence tremblingly.

Zhuang Yu endured her tears and cries, ruthlessly held the silence, and walked forward.

Behind her, the little aunt still said, "You can go!" What other lights do you light at night? Let the night blind you so that you don't have to see clearly. so as not to disturb your heart. ”

I don't know where to go, and suddenly I heard Zhuang Hu's voice. Zhuang Hu reprimanded the little aunt. Presumably, the little aunt's voice was too loud, disturbing the Qin family's heart, and Zhuang Hu couldn't help but come out to blame.

Zhuang Yu didn't want to listen, and walked quickly and silently, and drove out of the gate outside the East Mansion all the way.

The mother-in-law guarding the door saw Zhuang Yu and Jing Mo coming out, and came out of the side door, wanting to greet him, but Zhuang Yu didn't stop for a moment, walked down the steps quickly, and went to the path. Jing Mo was a little unbearable when he saw his mother-in-law standing at the door with a puzzled face, so he turned around and signaled to his mother-in-law, asking her mother-in-law to hurry up and do her own.

Hearing the sound of the mother-in-law closing the door when he returned to the side door, Zhuang Yu stopped his steps, staggered close to the stone on the side of the road, supported his hand on the stone, endured the grievances for a long time, coughed a few times at once, and cried out of his throat.

Silently put the lantern on the stone, took out a handkerchief to wipe it for Zhuang Yu, and Zhuang Yu turned his face away.

Silently: "Girl, my aunt's mouth has always been like this. Don't be sad. ”

Zhuang Yu just vented and cried, and went silently to be silent. After a while, Zhuang Yu stopped crying, slightly hooked his head to look back at the gate of Dongfu, and then said to Jingmo: "Let's go!" ”

It's like I haven't cried before.

Silent and stunned, Zhuang Yu urged again, and she responded with an "oh" and hurriedly carried the lantern.

On the way, Jing Mo didn't dare to say anything anymore, and occasionally glanced sideways at Zhuang Yu a few times. Zhuang Yu's face was wet, and the tears that had obviously just been suppressed had not stopped.

The footsteps are also fast, and soon walked to the middle of the path in Zhongfu, and when they passed the old locust tree outside the door, there was a row of lanterns shining on the side of Beifu, and they also came to this side, and they were vaguely heard talking.

These voices are none other than Su Yuan, Jinshu, Zhang Lang, He Hongzao, Young Master Tong, Cao Yingguan, etc.

Silent couldn't hold his breath, and hurriedly said to Zhuang Yu: "Girl, sir, they are out." ”

Zhuang Yu's steps were faster, obviously unwilling to rub shoulders with them. But he didn't take many steps, he stopped again, turned his head to look at the lantern in his hand, and thought that the light was on, and they had seen themselves, and it would be rude not to say hello.

was hesitating, and saw Cao Yingguan running over first, and greeted: "Yo, it's really the fourth girl." Hurriedly turned his neck and called over there: "It's the fourth girl." ”

After a while, Su Yuan, Jin Shu, Zhang Lang, He Hongzao, Young Master Tong and others came over.

Zhuang Yu took advantage of the fact that no one came, first wiped her eyes a few times, and when the people arrived, she saluted solemnly.

Jin Shu came over to support Zhuang Yu before everyone else, and said softly: "Will the four girls go back to Xifu or ......?"

Zhuang Yu smiled and said, "It's over!" ”

Jin Shu looked at Su Yuan and the others hesitantly, and said, "We also wanted to go over and take a look." But I'm afraid of disturbing again. If you come over, help us speak. Now, I don't know if he's better. ”

Zhuang Yu nodded lightly: "Okay, I met the second brother, so I will naturally say it for you." ”

Jin Shu was very embarrassed and said, "Miss Xie." ”

They returned the salute to each other, and the rest did not say anything. Because Zhuang Yu is the master, he first saw Jinshu and the others leave, and then turned around and continued to walk towards Nanfu. Not far away, Zhuang Xuan and Wan Jin ran from behind.

Zhuang Xuan panted and said, "Fourth sister, wait for me." ”

Zhuang Yu heard that it was her second sister's voice, and stopped in surprise.

Zhuang Xuan's face was full of uneasiness: "What did you say to Beizi just now?" Are they all gone? Are you going to Xifu again? ”

Zhuang Yu replied "um".

Zhuang Xuan looked at Zhuang Yu's expression a little displeased, and wanted to say something, but the words came to his mouth and swallowed again, beckoned Wan Jin to go back to Beifu, walked a few steps, Zhuang Xuan turned back, and said, "Go to Xifu, don't say that you have seen me here." You just have to say that Beizi and they are gone, and they haven't eaten the meals arranged. I don't know if it's because our food is not in their mouth. ”

Zhuang Yu's "um" is again.

Zhuang Qi sighed: "Then so be it!" I'm not going to go, if the third brother is better, you can help me say hello. I don't know when our wife will come back, and I asked the person behind me to keep the food. ”

Zhuang Yu still responded with a "hmm".

In the end, Zhuang Xuan and Wanjin went back to Beifu in disgrace. Waiting for Zhuang Xuan's footsteps to go away, Zhuang Yu exhaled a breath and continued to hurry.

Silence said silently: "Girl, we should call the second girl to go with us." ”

Zhuang Yu said: "Our affairs in the East Mansion, why bother to go to the North Mansion." You're also confused about this. ”

said silently: "The girl doesn't want to put the second girl on the stall, but isn't the second girl bothering you?" The second girl had the heart to send others away in the dark, but she didn't have the heart to go to Xifu to see. I don't think the second girl's heart is as sincere as your girl's. ”

Zhuang Yu chirped: "You are more and more able to talk nonsense, just talk to me about this kind of thing, don't chew your tongue and learn from those people nonsense." Be careful that the wives are looking for you. ”

Silent and frightened, he said no more.

At this time, the two walked in the Nanfu Trail. It didn't take long to arrive at the outer gate of Nanfu. Silently know, go to the door first, and say a word or two to the doorkeeper. When the gatekeeper saw Zhuang Yu, he eagerly came up to greet him. Zhuang Yu replied and said to go to Baiyue Nunnery.

The gatekeeper said, "The road is narrow over there, and I'm afraid that the girl's lamp is not bright enough, so why don't you add another lamp to illuminate the road?" ”

Zhuang Yu said: "Don't bother Mom, let's go carefully." ”

The gatekeeper worried: "I heard that there is a lot of rain this summer, and snakes and insects like to infest. I'm afraid the girl won't pay attention. I said something that was not a curse, I heard that the third master of Xifu was bitten by a poisonous snake. So, the girl has to watch her step. At night, those poisons like to come out and cool off. ”

Zhuang Yu smiled slightly and said gratefully: "Thank you, Mom." ”

The voice didn't stop, and he had already drifted to the side of the White Moon Temple.

Rebuild the White Moon Temple, day and night, there is another special. The courtyards in several mansions, if you look at the night at this time, are mostly noisy, not as quiet as here in Nanfu, even if you look up at the starry sky, it is not as translucent and flickering as here, densely packed so beautiful.

However, Zhuang Yu had no intention of enjoying this tranquility and this starry sky.

Standing under the door of Baiyue'an, silently about to knock on the door, Zhuang Yu stopped her, and she knocked in person.

After about a while, there was a sound of footsteps walking inside, and through the crack in the door, I saw some light, presumably Pudu came out with a lamp.

Purdue cautiously asked, "Which one?" ”

Zhuang Yu replied: "It's me!" The four girls of Dongfu. ”

When Pudu heard this, he immediately put the lamp on the ground, opened the key, and pulled the door open. Sure enough, when I saw two people standing outside, it was Zhuang Yu!

Pudu was surprised and delighted, and pleased, "Girl, please!" ”

Zhuang Yu tilted his head slightly and nodded to Jing Mo, letting Jing Mo go in first to light the way.

After Pudu closed the door and picked up the lamp to follow, Zhuang Yu said, "Master seems to know that I am coming." Didn't ask me either. ”

Pudu said: "It's so late, it's you again, girl, if it's okay, how can you come from Beppu." ”

Zhuang Yu smiled sadly and said nothing. Later, passing by the Buddhist hall, Zhuang Yu went in to offer a return of incense, and then went to the tea house.

Entering the tea house, Pudu brought a clean cushion, put it on the south side of the kang, invited Zhuang Yu to sit down, and went to serve tea again.

Zhuang Yu stopped him, sat down at the same time, and said, "I'm not here to ask for night tea." I just want to ask you for something. ”

Pudu said uneasily: "Every flower, every grass, every tile and brick, every tea and water here is given by your mansion. Why does the girl have to say that she asks for words? ”

Zhuang Yu said: "You are the lord here, I naturally have to ask." On weekdays, I won't be so rude, but now it's different, you have the right to be when I don't know the number of etiquette, if you have a mind, you accommodate me a point or two, I am grateful to you, in the future, I always want to come to worship the Buddha with you, listen to you talk about the scriptures. ”

Seeing that Zhuang Yu said so solemnly, Pudu folded his hands and said, "The girl is serious." If the girl has any commands, please feel free to say. ”

Zhuang Yu said: "Today, so many of us are visiting, and you have used a lot of tea." I wonder if there is any tea left in the teacups and tea drinks today? ”

Pudu was stunned, looked at Zhuang Yu in a panic, and said: "It was supposed to be cleaned, but it can be seen that the third master suddenly fell, and he prayed to Guanyin Bodhisattva for a while, and he hasn't cleaned it up yet." The rest is still there. ”

Zhuang Yu said happily: "Then you bring it all to me." ”

Pudu was shocked, paused a little, and said, "Okay." Ask the girl to wait a moment. ”

Zhuang Yu said to Jingmo: "You accompany the master to go on a trip, don't talk about many things, it's still so dark, so let's take care of it." Then he said to Pudu, "Just bring it as it is today, and don't wash it." What is given to me today is what is given. ”

After finishing speaking, he silently accompanied Pudu down, and after looking for a while, the two brought the tea and tea sets used in the day.

Zhuang Yu glanced at it, it was basically the same, and said, "Is there something for me?" ”

Pudu nodded, withdrew with a worried face, and when he came in, he took a basket and said, "I made this basket, it's rough, the girl doesn't dislike it, but you can put it in it." ”

said silently: "There are boxes in the house, you don't have them here?" ”

Pudu said: "Most of the things in the house are valuable, they look very gorgeous, painted with gold and color, I am a pure person in the end, and it is better to be plain." ”

Zhuang Yu said "um", showing a little envy, and said, "Then borrow your basket." I've borrowed them too, and I'll give them back to you when I'm done with them. ”

Pudu said nervously: "Girl, but is it about the third master?" It's me here to make him ...... tea."

Zhuang Yu shook his head and comforted: "Without this statement, Master doesn't have to worry. It's just that he fell ill suddenly, but everything he walked through and used things had to be checked. In order to prescribe the right medicine and know the cause. ”

Purdue opened his mouth, visibly stunned.

Zhuang Yu didn't comfort him much, and motioned to Jing Mo to hurry up and pick up his things, which meant to leave.

Soon, Zhuang Yu and Jingmo walked out of Baiyue Nunnery, and Pudu still came out to send them out. When he arrived at the door, Pudu said, "Girl, the night road is dark, I'll send you." ”

Zhuang Yu shook his head and signaled that Pudu didn't have to send it away.

Pudu stayed and watched her master and servant leave. Walking a little farther, Zhuang Yu looked back at Baiyue'an, only to see Pudu's single shadow only holding on to the door, and the shadow cast on the ground was even more lonely and helpless than his own shadow.

Zhuang Yu lamented in his heart: The empty door is single, and the shadow is like a lonely crane. I hope it doesn't get involved here.
