"Autumn, haven't you come back yet?"

Manzhu opened the door and looked at the boiling water room, her hands were lightly cocked, and her handkerchief gently raised her tail with the wind between her jade fingers.

Autumn had steam on her face, water droplets on her eyelashes, she trotted to Manzhu with her eyes flashing, and coughed a few times, "Sister Manzhu, Autumn said that she had something important to do and still hasn't come back." It's cold, my sister goes to take a bath, and the other girls and I go to look for it. ”

Seeing that Autumn looked tired, Manzhu brushed the water droplets from her face with a handkerchief, and whispered: "When the water is boiled, you will lead the other girls to take a bath and go to sleep, and I will go out to find it myself." ”

"Let Sister Manzhu go out alone, we are not at ease, let me follow you, okay?"

Manzhu didn't want to trouble the girl around her for everything, and the rare one showed a slight expression, "I will take care of myself, if I want you to follow me in everything, won't I become a waste?"

Manju watched Autumn retreat, reflexively closed the door, and walked out of the Tonkaku with a light step.

At this time, the evening at the inn already knew the story of the matter, and couldn't help but feel sorry for the snake spirit shopkeeper and Qian Xiaoping, and involuntarily slapped the table:

"You really shouldn't just let that reckless man go, what if he bullies a woman next time?"

It's not impossible for Niu Tou Ma Mian to feel that it's not impossible to say that he is late, if he really appears, what should he do if he is not there?

"After all, such ghosts are still in the minority, and we shouldn't think too badly about things. For today's matter, Qian Xiao and I are very grateful to the two adults, and we can agree to any request. The snake spirit took Qian Xiao's hand and walked to the head of the bull and the horse, giving Wan'er the illusion of making a promise.

"No, it's what they have to do, they don't need to reciprocate. It is...... I've lived here for a while, and I've never seen you?"

The snake spirit stared at Wan'er and observed carefully, "Actually, I just moved here not long ago, and I lived at the foot of a thousand mountains before, and I had to find another place to live because of the landslide and flooding. I found this place clean and peaceful, and I just wanted to make a home here. If the two adults haven't forgotten, it's the first time we've met today, right?" the snake spirit smiled and looked at the bull head and horse, and it was only then that he remembered what the two of them had said.

"I'm very happy to know you, if I don't dislike it, how about I want to invite you to dinner?"

Niu Tou Ma Mian really wanted to agree, after all, he hadn't eaten dinner until now, and his stomach had protested I don't know how many times. Wan'er didn't agree, and pulled the cow head and horse noodles away from Jiuling's side, "You don't need to eat, you just settled here, and there must be a lot of places to use money." The two of them are going back to the twin halls now, and if you have filled your stomachs, you must go back early. ”

"Thank you, Miss Wan'er, for worrying about us, this love will still be repaid in the future, and I will leave now. With that, Jiu Ling took Qian Xiao's hand and began to walk out.

"Walk slowly, nine years old, Qian Xiao, if you have something to do to find me. ”

It was so warm and friendly that it was too late, and I was so shocked that my jaw dropped several times.

Wan'er looked at the strange expressions of the two, and walked out of the inn without saying a word, panting breathlessly, and walked to a secluded grove, Wan'er let go of the bull's hand and stepped on his foot unexpectedly, "How many years have you been a servant, haven't you noticed any difference at all?"

"There must be a difference, it's the first time I've seen curly hair that looks like the sun, and then that Jiuling is dressed too revealing, and I haven't been able to look closely. After Ah Pang finished speaking, Ama nodded again and again, which made Wan'er even more angry.

"Did you two see two spiky cat ears?"

Wan'er almost gritted her teeth and spit out this sentence, but the effect was still very good, and the two of them were really shocked.

"Cat...... Cat Ears ...... I thought it was the ears on the hat...... This. Ah Pong stammered.

Wan'er was so angry that she could only stomp her feet, patted the two nerds and felt that her hands hurt, and tried her best to tell herself not to be angry, to stay calm, and finally adjusted her breathing.

"It must be that Qian Xiao's ears are absolutely not wrong, that Jiuling came here maybe it wasn't what she said, I pull you out now just to tell you not to talk about it when you go back, if it involves something bad, maybe we can't eat and go." ”

"But later, you can explain the reason to us, doesn't it make us uncomfortable to go back in such a daze?"

The thoughts in my heart are just guesses, I want to say it but I don't want to say it, I look at the two of them and I am really confused, and I said a rough idea. After saying that, Wan'er realized that if she didn't reply again, she was afraid that Sister Manzhu would come out to find herself, so she drove back quickly, and when she looked back and thought that Manzhu was faster, she saw that there was a fluorescent sign on the corner of the "One Plum Out of the Wall", and then thought about it, this should be the barber shop opened by Jiuling. The evening was timid, and there was no companion by his side, so he lingered at the door for a while, and timidly continued to run breathlessly on the way home.

As everyone knows, Manju is in the store.

Wan'er hurried back to the door, and her hair was messy in the wind all the way, and at that moment at rest, it was like an electric shock.

"Autumn, winter, why didn't I see Sister Manzhu in the room, do you know where Manzhu went?" Wan'er pulled all the girls out of bed and pulled their faces one by one.

"Oh Mom, what are you doing when we're late, hah? How can you think our big yellow girl's face is a pinch of pork?"

"Da Mei is right, we all know that Sister Manzhu is hanging her heart when she goes out, but you don't know until you come back. ”

Wan'er slid out of bed and bowed to the sisters, "Good sisters, good sisters, I was wrong, but you can't lie on the bed and wait for Sister Manzhu to come back? ”

Wan'er didn't want to delay for a second, and before the other girls finished dressing, she ran out alone, shouting and running all the way along the side of the street lamp.

Ran to the bottom of a ginkgo tree that was about to reach the barber shop, and was exhausted at night, bending over to breathe.

And the oncoming Manzhu saw Wan'er first, waved his hand and shouted softly: "Wan'er." ”

Hearing the sound, Wan'er quickly raised her head, the sweat on her cheeks was not wiped off, and she ran towards Manzhu regardless of her sore legs.

"Manju...... Sister, where have you be......en? I've searched a lot of places but I haven't seen you......"

Manzhu caressed Wan'er's back, wiped off the sweat with a handkerchief, and pointed to the girl standing beside him with a smile, "Because I was looking for you, I accidentally walked into a barber shop and met Jiuling and this Qianxiao, and from their mouths, I knew that you didn't go home because you were entangled in something." Have Ah Pong and Ama gone back now?"

"Uh-huh, they've gone back. It's Sister Manzhu, why do you take Qian Xiao with you?"

Later, when she found that Qian Xiao didn't dare to look directly into her eyes, the doubts in her heart couldn't help but increase.

"It's getting late, let's go back first. ”

"Oh. ”

Wan'er walked at the back and watched Manzhu hugging Qian Xiao intimately, it was a little uncomfortable, but I couldn't say it directly.

Returning to Yinwu Pavilion, Manzhu saw that the other girls had not returned, so she called Wan'er to go out to look for it. When I came back again in the evening, I really couldn't walk half a step, and sat on the threshold, if there was no support from Da Dong, I am afraid that I would have to sit on the threshold overnight.

All the girls saw that the door of Manzhu's room was tightly closed, and hugged around Wan'er, and one of them whispered, "The girl that Sister Manzhu brought back is so beautiful, especially her hair, which is the same as all of us." ”

"Well, her eyes are also beautiful, twinkling and shining, like stars in the sky. ”

"yes, if only I could have those eyes. ”

Wan'er pointed at their heads with her fingers, and said with a vinegar taste: "Look at you like that, how can you grow other people's ambition and destroy your own prestige? Look at you Damei, who can speak like you with an accent from the north and south of the world, you are very good-looking in autumn, me, I ......."

"Hey, if you want our sisters to say, you are still a little beautiful among us, and you have the best relationship with Sister Manzhu. If you are jealous, you will be jealous, if it is us, we will not be comfortable, if you have anything to say, just say it to us, don't hide it in your heart and suffocate yourself. ”

"Okay, I got it. You're all sleepy, go to sleep. ”

The vinegar smell was also smelled by herself, and after taking a bath, she stood in front of the door of Manzhu's room, "Sister Manzhu, have you slept?"

"Not yet, come in later. ”

Wan'er answered, gently pushed the door open, and saw Qian Xiao lying on Manzhu's bed, already asleep in Manzhu's pajamas.

"What's wrong with you late? Why do you stop walking and walking?"

Wan'er relieved herself, smiled to hide herself, and sat down on the chair that Manzhu pointed to.

"Is there something wrong with you coming to me so late?"

If it was before, whenever she came to knock on the door, Manju would just smile and never ask. Now, looking at Manzhu's face, Wan'er didn't know how to answer.

"I, I am, I'm here to ask Sister Manzhu about the little thing. ”

Manzhu didn't notice the change in the expression on Wan'er's face, but sighed softly first, stroked the face that was already asleep, and said very gently: "This child came here alone, and he is not familiar with life. ”

"Isn't her sister Jiuling?" asked Wan'er.

Manzhu shook her head, "That's just a sister in rhetoric, Qian Xiao was hunted down, Jiuling has her own difficulties and can't afford to support her, so I will bring her back to our family, and she will be one of you from now on." I don't know how much Qian Xiao has suffered, I hope you don't exclude her. ”

Wan'er's head shook and shook, just like nodding and just shaking his head.
