Old man Tao said something, and Bai Li only sighed. She glanced at the old man's face and said, "I really don't know how you live so big, master." Forget it, when I go up to Danxun Mountain to have a look, if there are still wild leeks, I will pick some and come back to the master to make a box of wild leeks to eat. ”

"Girl, you must be careful when you go to Danxun Mountain." Old man Tao glanced at Bai Ze: "It's not for you to be careful of ear mice, but to be careful of this bad guy with ill intentions next to you." ”

"Li'er, I'm so hard!" Bai Ze sighed depressedly: "It's hard enough just to please your heart, and you have to be distracted to please your master." Or, you have pity on me, just promise me for life, okay? ”

"Not good!" As soon as Bai Li finished speaking, she saw Qu Mei, she was still the same as when she first appeared, but there was more fear in her pupils: "Qu Mei, you are here!" ”

"White girl, I just want to come and ask, ask Ning'er if he can be saved."

"Ning'er?" Bai Li was stunned for a moment, then reacted and pointed to the person lying on the bed: "Are you talking about him?" ”

Qu Mei nodded, "His name is Ning Lang, he had a round face when he was a child, and he was very cute, so I called him Ning Er." Now that he's grown up, I still can't change the name of him. ”

Qu Mei said, her expression darkened: "No matter what he becomes, I can recognize him as Ning'er at a glance, but he may not recognize me anymore." ”

"When he wakes up, I'll help you ask, and ask him if he remembers a person named Qu Mei."

"No need, it doesn't matter if you remember it or not." Qu Mei shook her head slightly: "I only hope that he can live now, and he can live well." ”

"I'll do my best. By the way, we're going to Danxun Mountain to give Ning ...... Find an antidote for Ning Lang, do you want to go with us, or stay at home to take care of him. By the way, this is my master, don't look at him who looks weird, and his temper doesn't seem to be very good, but he is a good person. ”

Qu Mei glanced at Old Man Tao out of the corner of her eye, but she didn't dare to make eye contact with him.

"Qu Mei really wants to go with you, Miss Bai, but Qu Mei can't go."

"I can't go, why can't I go?" In this sentence, Bai Li is not asking Qu Mei, but Bai Ze.

"She's trapped here, and there's no way she'll be able to leave this house unless she finds her bones."

"Can't get out of this house? So where did you stay during the time you disappeared? ”

"Back garden." Qu Mei whispered: "There is a cellar under the dead tree in the back garden, and that cellar can be used for me to live temporarily. I'm not disappearing, I'm not hiding, I'm just feeling unknown, and I'm afraid of causing trouble to you, the white girl. ”

"I'm alone, and the closest thing is this fortune teller and my master, I'm not afraid of causing any trouble. I just don't understand, how can this Ning Lang and good manners poison people. As far as his broken yard is concerned, it doesn't seem to be worth remembering. Also, how did you get to be the way you are, and what were you looking for in the yard before? I'm a curious person, and I have too many questions in my mind to figure out. ”

"It's not that Qu Mei deliberately concealed it, it's just that this matter is a long story, and I don't know where to start for a while."

"Let's start with your hair! The parents of this body, you are a girl's family, how can you have no hair? Could it be that you are really a monk and a nun as the white liar said? ”

"Nun?" Qu Mei seemed a little surprised: "If only I could have thought of becoming a nun." I have come down to this day because of the harm of men. ”

"Who killed you?"

"Ning'er's mother is also his mother."

"Rival in love!" Bai Li couldn't help but say: "What kind of plot are you guys, his mother hurt you, and you still want to protect her son." ”

"It's his son." Qu Mei corrected: "I was originally the daughter of Shangshu, and I met him on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. I fell in love with him at first sight, but I didn't think it at the time. ”

"It's so romantic." In Bai Li's mind, a picture of two young men and women meeting and acquaintance on the day of the Lantern Festival appeared: "Suddenly looking back, that person was in the dim light. ”

"Suddenly, I looked back, but the man was in the dim light." Qu Mei followed silently, and her deep thinking seemed to float into the distant past: "He was born extremely good-looking, but in such a dark night, he was wearing a white shirt and carrying a particularly interesting rabbit lantern in his hand. That night, I happened to have a rabbit lantern in my hand. I stood on the bridge and looked at him, and his gaze seemed to pass through the people who came and went and fell on me. Just staring at him for a moment, I felt like I had imprinted him in my mind. When I got home, I couldn't help but think of him, the way he stood there with a rabbit lantern, tossing and turning, and not thinking about tea and dinner. My father and mother were worried about me, so they invited a doctor to come over and say that I was depressed, but only I knew that I was sick because of him. ”

"And then?"

"Later...... Later, I told my mother what was on my mind, and she went to my father and asked him to send someone to inquire privately. But after a long time of inquiry, I couldn't find him, and just when I thought I would never see him again, he suddenly appeared at my house. I only knew then that he was the Hou Ye, the Ning Hou Ye. ”

"That's not right, you are the daughter of Shangshu, he is the Hou Ye, and he can be regarded as a well-known person." As soon as Bai Li finished speaking, he added: "At that time, could he have already married?" ”

"No, he wasn't married at that time, but the situation was chaotic at that time, and he was in a different camp from my father." Qu Mei said and sighed: "How can the children's private affairs be able to compete with the family and the country, I have fantasized that he can stand with my father for me." Or maybe it was my father who stood with him because he loved me. But no, my father just told me not to worry about him anymore, and said that if I insisted on being with him, it would only harm others and myself. He did the same, persuading me not to think about him anymore, and saying that it was absolutely impossible for me to be with him. ”

"You must be struggling." Bai Li said in a muffled voice.

Qu Mei smiled astringently: "It's very entangled, I was born in Shangshu Mansion, and it is impossible to know nothing about the affairs of the court." I knew in my heart that even if he and I got together, we would be separated because of something else in the future. Rather than wait until that time, it is better to take care of your heart while you can take care of it. But if the emotional thing can be controlled by one's own reason, it is not an emotion. The more I tried to control myself, not to think about him, not to see him, the more I couldn't control myself, I couldn't look at myself. ”

"You're going to see him?"

"Yes! I went to see him, hiding it from my father. There was pain in Qu Mei's eyes: "But if time can be turned back, I would rather that night, I didn't go to see him." ”
