Chapter 25: The Night Tour (Part II)
The lights are gloomy, shining on the faces of joy or sorrow, as if weaving a dream, a real and false encounter and separation.
At this time, a thunder sounded in the sky, and before they could react, the rain poured down. People dispersed, and the crowd was filled with loud invectives mixed with the cries of children.
Xiyun didn't know who hit her, and was squeezed by the crowd and ran forward, and when she stood under one roof, she found that she was alone, and Ning Xiang and her group didn't know where to go, but fortunately, there must be a lot of people in the City Lord's Mansion who know, and she should be able to find it back.
She brushed away the silk hair wet by the rain with her hand, and looked up to see an old man walking in the rain not far away, not in a hurry, Xiyun looked a little anxious, ran over, and helped the old man to walk under the eaves that had just sheltered from the rain.
"Hey, you girl is in such a hurry to help me go, what are you doing, I'm going to walk by myself." The old man pulled his arm out of Xiyun's hand, full of blame.
At night, Xiyun couldn't see the old man's face clearly, but his white hair was very special, as if it would glow, and she had never seen such an old man.
"Old man, you see this rain is so heavy, I'm not afraid that you will get sick."
"A little rain is enough to bathe me. I don't care, you've messed up my hair, I've got to clean it up. The old man tidied up his clothes, took out a wooden comb from his bag, and handed it to Xiyun.
Xiyun looked at the old man, like an old naughty boy, and couldn't help but feel a little helpless, this hair was cloudy and yin was drenched in the rain, how could it be blamed on her. Forget it, she doesn't care about this old man anymore.
"You're right, I'm nosy. Excuse me for a walk in the rain. Xiyun said as she gently combed the old man's hair, making her strange that the old man's hair felt slowly drying, and she felt very confused, how did he do it, could the old man's hair be like this.
"Alright, alright, you girl told you to do things, and she moved so slowly." The old man seemed impatient to take the comb.
Xiyun also pretended to apologize, bent over, but there was a smile on his face, and he said, "You have been wronged." ”
"Okay, I still have urgent business, let's go first, this is for you." After that, the old man took out a sachet from his bag and handed it to Xiyun.
Xiyun took a look and smelled a different smell, like agarwood, but not so strong, and the fragrance made people feel a lot more comfortable. Xiyun was about to ask what kind of incense this was, but the old man had already walked out.
Just listen to him sigh. "Hey, it rained so much that I lost a sachet."
Xiyun listened, and there was only a black line left in his head, and it seemed that he couldn't be too enthusiastic in the future.
Immediately, she also asked about the way to the City Lord's Mansion while walking, and just like that, she asked while walking, and the road was also smooth.
It's just that when she walked to the City Lord's Mansion, she saw that the lights in the mansion were dim, and there were many guards coming and going at the door, and she was also shocked in her heart, could it be that something happened to the City Lord's Mansion.
She took two steps at a time, and walked faster. The guards at the door, seeing Xiyun approaching, hurriedly shouted, "Go to the city lord of Tongbing, Miss Liu is back." ”
"What happened to the City Lord's Mansion?" Xiyun asked a guard anxiously.
"Miss Liu, you're back, just now the city lord ordered all the guards in the palace to go out to look for you, if you don't come back, the city lord will close the city and search for people."
It turned out that everyone was so busy, all to find her, Xiyun was a little embarrassed, and followed the guards into the house.
At this time, Yu Haitu was walking around the hall with a sad brow, and Mrs. Yu was sitting on a chair, holding Yu Shuqing, who was sobbing in her arms, comforting her.
"Sir, madam, Miss Liu is back."
Hearing the guard's report, Yu Shuqing got down from Mrs. Yu's arms and ran to the door, Xiyun saw Yu Shuqing with tears on her cheeks, ran towards her, she wrapped her hand around her, and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes for her.
"Qing'er, why are you crying?"
"Sister benefactor, I thought you were gone.
"How come, your sister and I, still have to watch our little Qing'er grow up and become a big beauty." Xiyun pinched Yu Shuqing's nose and touched her head soothingly.
Xiyun was also very self-blaming at this time, and the moment she disappeared made everyone so anxious. Yu Haitu instructed the guards to find all the people who went out to look for Xiyun.
"By the way, you go and inform Xiao Zhangyuan, Miss Liu has returned to the house, let him also go back to the house to rest."
Hearing Yu Haitu's words, Xiyun also had ripples in his heart, could it be that he also went out to find her, it stands to reason that a character like him, why bother to find someone who is not related to him, he is not ruthless to himself, maybe he cares a little bit.
