Chapter 3: The moon is dark and the wind is high
Chu Xi didn't pay attention to the large pile of firewood, looked at the rough little hands, and turned around lightly and walked into the depths of the woods.
The sky gradually darkened, and the originally quiet forest became lively, and two black shadows walked in cautiously, but when they arrived at the designated place, they couldn't see the people who should be here.
"What about people?"
"Could it be that the old nun is playing tricks on us?" One of them said angrily.
Another shook his head: "Not really." The man looked at the ground and sneered: "Look, she doesn't know where she ran to feed the wild wolves." ”
Looking at the deep and shallow footprints on the snow, the two smiled at each other and chased after each other.
Chu Xi walked in the direction of his memory, and in the time of tea, he saw the candlelight in the depths of the jungle, Chu Xi looked back, and raised the corners of his lips.
Chu Xi stepped forward and knocked on the door, and the people inside the door were obviously a little surprised: "Who?" ”
Chu Xi listened to the female voice coming from inside, and said softly: "I'm from Shuiyun'an in front, I got lost in the forest, I wonder if you can take it in for one night?" ”
As soon as the people inside heard that it was a little girl's voice, they carefully opened a crack in the door and looked out, and saw that it was really only Chu Xi, so they opened the door: "Are you leading the cultivation in Shuiyun Nunnery?" "The woman said.
Chu Xi looked at her, her hair was already half-white with a wooden hairpin tied behind her head, but she looked only about forty years old, the wrinkles between her eyebrows and eyes were a little deep, but her eyes were indifferent. Seeing her standing there, although she was dressed in thorn cloth, the whole person's bearing was like that of a nobleman from the royal family, noble and inviolable.
When Chu Xi was looking at her, she was also looking at Chu Xi, looking at the girl who was only eleven or twelve years old, the thin and ill-fitting old cotton clothes made her look thin, as if a gust of wind could blow it down, her face was yellow, her lips were white, but the whole person's back was very straight, her head was raised and her chest was straight, her eyes were dark and bright, and she seemed to be timid.
"Are you Chu Ji?" The woman asked first.
Chu Xi was a little surprised, she had never seen this woman before she was reborn, and it was only after entering the palace that she learned that the old emperor had a sweetheart hidden here, named Zhen Niang, and then she entered the camp of the King of Care, this King of Freedom is really capable.
"Yes." Chu Yi raised his eyes to look at her, and there was a slight mist in his eyes.
Seeing her like this, Jane finally smiled a little: "Come in." ”
Chu Xi stepped in, only to see that the room was cleaned up, there was a delicate carved hollow small incense burner on the table of high-grade yellow rosewood, and the incense burner was smoked with Qiu Gui's incense cakes, although the room looked simple, the objects in it were all very good, Chu Xi thought, there should also be the emperor's secret guards guarding here.
"It's not early, let's go to bed first, and then go back when the snow stops tomorrow." Zhen Niang smiled gently, handed Chu Xi a cup of hot tea, placed her on the warm couch, and turned her head to blow out the candle.
Chu Xi bowed slightly, she knew that Zhenniang didn't want to meddle in her affairs, since she knew herself, she must know her identity, but now she didn't say a word about why she was lost in the deep forest in the middle of the night.
Merely......
Chu Xi raised her eyes and looked at Zhen Niang with a smile, she had to participate in this matter, otherwise how could she return to the Prime Minister's Mansion as soon as possible to 'collect the debt'!
Outside, the two of them followed the footprints all the way to the small thatched hut: "I didn't expect that there were still families hiding in this place, and we haven't found it for so many years." ”
"It should be a shed built by a villager, the stinky girl must have hid inside, it's okay, she sent it to the door herself, but we didn't find it." The two rubbed their hands, laughed obscenely, threw each other a look, then took the knife and stepped forward to pry open the door, but they didn't know that a black shadow had attacked behind them, and then they only heard two muffled snorts, and then there was no sound.
