Confused, I put the pamphlets back in the box and pulled out a few other books, on which were maps of the time, indicating the locations of these places.

I took note and traced the general direction on it with a piece of paper, stuffed it in the pocket of my clothes, and extinguished the candle on the table. When I left the room, I saw that the sky had already darkened, and the night sky was gloomy, a kind of darkness that was about to come by storm.

Situ Yao saw me leaving, and after going back to check, he locked the wooden box again, locked the door, and walked downstairs, I asked him, "Is the eldest young master better?" ”

Situ Yao shook his head, "I haven't woken up yet." ”

I looked up and thought that Jiang Xun should have gone back by this time, since Situ Yu was still in a coma, he should be safe.

"Aaron?"

At the top of the stairs, Situ Yao looked at Lan Ruo sitting on the steps and frowned, "You are not guarding the eldest brother in the room, what are you doing here?" ”

"I'm helping Brother Yu decoction!" Lan Ruo stood up suddenly, hiding something behind her back in her hand, Situ Yao looked at her and asked, "Where's the medicine?" ”

"It's still on fire." Lan Ruo glanced at me suggestively and muttered, "I'll take a look and send it when it's ready." ”

After Lan Ruo ran away, I asked Situ Yao, "Has she always taken care of the eldest young master?" ”

As long as there is something about Situ Yu, they are all handed over to Lan Ruo to do, and Lan Ruo's position in Situ's house is also a little special, she is obviously just a little girl doing some trivial things, but Situ Yu taught her to control the puppet technique, and allowed her to go in and out of her room, especially in this situation, Situ Yu is unguarded, if she has any dissenting intentions, it is too easy.

Situ Yao was silent for a moment, and said, "In this family, the person who has been with the eldest brother the longest over the years is Ah Ruo. ”

I nodded, thoughtfully, and after separating from him, I came to the kitchen alone and saw Lan Ruo fanning the fire with a fan, absentmindedly guarding the casserole in front of me.

I coughed lightly, she came back to her senses, and when she saw me, she immediately stood up, "Sister Shen!" ”

I smiled, and she ran to me and asked, "Did you find Shen Ziwei?" ”

"Not yet." I say.

Lan Ruo said: "It's so dark this day, I'm afraid it's going to rain, where can he go, it's so late." ”

"Dong Sichuan is not peaceful, and the yin qi is even stronger on rainy days, when the weapon of that evil path is the easiest to play, will something happen to Shen Ziwei?" Lan Ruo tugged at my sleeve, "Otherwise, I'll go and tell the second young master and ask him to bring someone to help find it." ”

Her concern made me not know what to say, and even felt a little ashamed, and said to her: "Don't bother the second young master, I'll go back to the room later, and if I still don't see him come back, I'll go out with Jiang Xun to see where he might go." ”

Lan Ruo nodded and comforted herself: "That's right, you are all people who know magic, Shen Ziwei's skills are so great, he will definitely be fine." ”

"Your medicine should be ready." I smelled the smell in the air and said, "Send it to the eldest young master." ”

Hearing this, Lan Ruo's eyebrows lowered, his fingers stirred together, and he hummed reluctantly.

I asked, "What's wrong?" ”

She didn't speak, I guessed, and said, "You and Situ Yu, are you ......?"

"We don't have anything."

Before I finished speaking, Lan Ruo interrupted, his tone was affirmative, and in the blink of an eye, he was vague again, and said: "Brother Yu, he is the head of the Situ family, and I am just a little girl hired by him, just doing chores here, my status is low, how can I be worthy of him." ”

It's good that she doesn't say that, and the excuse of denial is uttered, and I'm sure that their connection must be unusual.

Originally, this was someone else's private matter, and I shouldn't have asked, but if she was entangled with Situ Yu and had no affection for Ziwei, I couldn't ignore it, and said, "Your relationship seems to be very unusual. ”

Lan Ruo was silent, staring at the stove with a resentful expression.

I asked her, "Do you like Situ Yu?" ”

Hearing this, she seemed to be a little annoyed, lost the fan in her hand, and her delicate eyebrows twisted into a pimple, "Even you say so, why do you think he is good to me, it must be that I am interested in him?" Just because he is the head of the family and I am just a servant, you think that I seduced him, and I can get his protection, I am high, right? ”

I didn't expect her to be so sensitive to this matter, and I hurriedly said: "I never thought so, I just think that Situ Yu's meaning to you is obvious enough, so I also want to ask if you also have a good impression of him, I just said it casually, it is definitely not as complicated as you think." ”

Lan Ruo's face puffed out, her eyes were filled with tears, and she said to me: "If I like the eldest young master, how can I still tell you about Shen Ziwei, you are a family-like existence to him, even if I am from a poor background, I will never be such a shameless person." ”

"I'm sorry." I went up to her, stroked her back and apologized, "It's because I'm not careful enough to take these things into account." ”

"Forget it." She wiped a handful of tears with the back of her hand, "Anyway, this is not the first time." ”

Lan Ruo took down the casserole of decoction and extinguished the fire, I watched from the sidelines, her appearance seemed to be really resistant to putting her and Situ Yu together to talk about their feelings, then, between the two of them, it was just Situ Yu's unrequited love?

"Sister Shen." Lan Ruo hung her head and was silent, as if she regretted the tantrum just now, and said to me: "Actually, I understand your thoughts, if I were you, I would have the same concerns." ”

I listened quietly to her: "Of course Brother Yu is good, he is not only good to me, but also to everyone in Dongchuan. He is the master of the Situ family, he has protected us all for so many years, and he is also an undoubted hero, and when he first confessed his heart to me, I really felt very frightened, and I felt that I could not do anything. No one is unhappy to be loved by someone like that, so I'm grateful that he likes me. But even if I didn't see Shen Ziwei, I wouldn't be with him, because for me, he wasn't what I wanted at all. ”

Lan Ruo was aggrieved and said: "In the past, his body was not as weak as it is now, if the two of us talk about it, I can still refuse with a sincere heart, and I will feel guilty when I hear him say that it doesn't matter, but since he got sick, in the eyes of everyone, it seems that as long as I say a 'no' word to him, I will become a sinner in the entire Dong Chuan." Sister Shen, I'm really scared now, I'm afraid that something will happen to him, and I'm afraid that he will be safe, sometimes I think about it, I really want to give myself a slap in the face, surprised how I can be so vicious, but I obviously didn't do anything wrong, why has no one ever considered my feelings. ”

I was speechless, seeing her wipe her tears, my heart was also bitter, so I could only comfort: "Maybe you can tell Situ Yu everything you think, if he really loves you, how can he bear to see you so sad?" ”

"They are fighting against that evil way now, and Brother Yu's body is like that, how can I say it." Lan Ruo said: "Moreover, if I say it at this time, even if Brother Yu can understand me, how should we get along in the future?" How can I interact with other people in Dongchuan? ”

I couldn't give her an answer, Lan Ruo adjusted her emotions, sorted herself out, the casserole was a little cold, she took out the medicine and put it in the tray, I saw that she was leaving, and I was about to say goodbye to her, but this time I was stopped by her, and when I turned around, I saw her face with grievances, and said to me: "The sachet last time, Shen Ziwei didn't accept it, I thought about it after I went back, he is a man, and it is useless to carry a sachet with him, so this time, I made a purse, if you put it away closely, you can also put some trivial things......"

I stood in place, Lan Ruo hesitated to finish speaking, took out the purse he had just hidden from his pocket, glanced at it in his hand, handed it to me, and said, "Sister Shen, please help me transfer this to him, okay?" ”

"Why don't you give it to him personally?" I took the purse, a very small and delicate one, with fine stitches on it, and it looked like it took a lot of thought.

"I'm just afraid that he will have the same attitude as last time." Lan Ruo lowered her eyes and asked me, "Sister Shen, do you have a sweetheart?" ”

Thinking of Jiang Xun, the corners of my mouth tilted uncontrollably, and I hummed softly, "I-am already with Jiang Xun." ”

Lan Ruo was stunned, burst into tears and smiled, grabbed me as if she was happier than me, and said, "I know that you two are in love with each other, you see, how accurate I guessed!" Sister Shen, congratulations! ”

I just laughed, and between me and him, I was really fascinated by the authorities.

Lan Ruo laughed before sniffing and said to me: "Then sister, you must be able to understand my mood now, if Brother Jiang Xun looks at you with an indifferent look and asks you to go away, you will definitely be sad to death." When you came back that day, Shen Ziwei looked at me, as if he had completely become another stranger, so arrogant and disdainful. ”

"He was just in a bad mood that day." Again, I said.

Lan Ruo nodded and said, "That's why I want to try again, but I really don't dare, so I want to ask you for help and help me ask what he thinks of me." ”

I held the purse in my hand, thought for a moment, and asked, "What if he doesn't hate you?" ”

"Then I'll keep chasing him."

"But, what about after we leave Dongchuan?"

Lan Ruo pursed her lips and said: "As long as he is a little tempted by me at that time, I am willing to go with him, no matter where I go, it doesn't matter how big the danger is, I am not afraid of hardship, I can do a lot of things, and I will definitely not become a burden to you." But if he doesn't, then it's just a dream for me. ”

I thought about it for a moment, nodded in agreement, and said, "Then I'll help you transfer the things to him, and help you ask what he thinks." ”

She immediately said thank you to me, I was afraid that she would be complained about the delay, so I hurriedly reminded him to send the medicine quickly, and when Lan Ruo left in a hurry, he stood in the kitchen for a while before he left with a light sigh, closed the open door, and raised his eyes but was startled, Ziwei leaned against the wall at the door, and it seemed that he had been staying for a long time.
