Chapter Twenty-Four: I'll Let You Accompany You
Chu Zhilan didn't sleep all night, this was definitely not because Xu Qingyi was lying next to him and he couldn't hold himself, but because he couldn't hold Xu Qingyi.
Of course, it's no wonder that Xu Qingyi couldn't hold herself, because she brought out the quilt from her mother's womb when she was sleeping. One arm is reached, and the other is a leg. Nightmares have also become her norm, Chu Zhilan wants to bind her legs and arms while coaxing her to sleep. He hadn't coaxed anyone to sleep for many years, and it turned out that he was still coaxing Chu Yun when he first entered the master's door. made Min Yunwen say that he was the "wet nurse" of the little junior sister. ”
"You're more like a mother than my own mother." Min Yunwen pointed to a new dress on the couch, "Don't coax, Zhiyuan is asleep, Awen, try if the new clothes I bought for you fit?" ”
"It's good-looking, Awen, you look so good in cyan, and when you wear it on a cloudy day to show your sister, she must like it too." Min Yunwen's hand pinched his face, and there seemed to be light in his smile, and he felt warm when he looked at it.
The night revealed a little white, Chu Zhilan hesitated for a long time and chose to put on the wide-sleeved cyan brocade robe, although it was indeed inconvenient to use the sword. He took out a wooden hairpin from his old clothes and placed it on the table.
"Senior brother, why do you still have such a feminine hairpin on this scarf?"
I'm serious: "This is my mother's relic." ”
"Ah, that's it, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but it's not very appropriate for you to wear it, wouldn't it be over if you got married early and gave it to your daughter-in-law."
I leaned over with a smile, "Senior brother, you also know that I am a little thinner, and no girl likes it so far, otherwise, you can look at it and introduce me to one." ”
"Oh, I haven't gotten a lady yet, how can I have your share?"
As he spoke, the curator walked in with a tired face. I made a cup of tea and brought it to him: "Master, have you reported to the official?" ”
He took a sip of tea, relieved himself, and lamented: "The report is retribution, but Mr. Chang lives alone in the mountains all the year round, and this barren mountain was killed by thieves, and the government also said that the murderer is not easy to find." ”
The senior brother who was talking to me just now, he was the pharmacist in charge of the records of medicinal materials in the museum, and echoed: "Curator, as far as I know, there have been robbers running rampant in Huai Candle City recently, and several shops have been damaged, and the government is already investigating, and I estimate that Mr. Chang may have done it too." ”
Curator Yu was so angry that his beard was about to curl, "Is there any royal law?" The capital of Yunjiang, at the feet of the royal family, actually did such a thing that lost his conscience! Coughing violently as she spoke, I hurriedly took the teacup and added some hot water and handed it to Master. You drink some water and don't get angry. ”
"Ah~ Thank you Chu Qing."
I waited for him to finish his tea and settle down before I put my mind at ease: this old man is sometimes not very worrying.
"Oh, you had a headache yesterday, and I didn't bother you, how? Didn't be scared. ”
I helped him up, "It's okay, you know me, I've been through some things before, and now I don't feel scared." ”
"That's good." He stopped and gasped for breath, looking like he was really tired, "I also need to rest for a while, Chu Qing, you can accompany the pharmacist next to you to keep accounts today." ”
"Slow down, then."
Seeing off the curator, I smiled and surrounded the pharmacist next to me, "Senior brother? ”
He shook his hand, "Forget it, you can play alone, I don't need you." ”
I bowed deeply and said with a smile: "Thank you, senior brother." ”
I went out to meet Chu Zhilan, at the entrance of Tianzijing Street, he said that there was something to do, and asked me to wait for him to come back after he was done.
When you arrive at the Tianzijing Market, the small traders and vendors here are all paraising the streets, and there are countless snacks and jewelry. There is a snack that I have never seen before, where the steamed rice cake is cut into pieces, and then the melon seeds, peanuts, sesame seeds and other nuts are stacked, and the fine sugar is sprinkled, and the bottom layer of the sugar slowly melts, but the top layer is crystal clear. I looked greedy, and walked over and asked for a piece of sesame seeds, which were fragrant, the rice cakes were soft, and the sugar was crunchy when bitten, which was very delicious. I took out my purse and asked for a few pieces of osmanthus.
"It's not tasty."
I turned around, still chewing on the rice cake in my mouth. Chu Zhilan frowned, and did not hide the disgust in her eyes: "This fang." ”
And at the moment, I was chewing sugar in my mouth, squeaking, "This is delicious." I added, "I think it's delicious." ”
He was empty-handed, and he didn't have a sword, because I was holding the packaged rice cake in one hand and the rice cake that I had bitten in the other, he stretched out his hand, hesitated for a moment and could only hold my arm, "You think everything is delicious." ”
I took the opportunity to stuff the remaining half of the rice cake to him, and watched him eat the rice cake naturally although he disliked it, and instantly felt good.
He chewed and spoke, "It's really not delicious." ”
"But then I have a hand to hold you," I said, holding him with my free hand, "look. ”
Still dissatisfied, he said, "I haven't eaten other people's leftovers for years." ”
"Huh? Years? Who have you eaten before? ”
Chu Zhilan's other empty hand pulled out of the wide wide sleeve, picked up a rice cake from the brown paper I was holding, and stuffed it into my mouth.
I was chewing sugar, squeaking, thinking that I could let Chu Zhilan eat the rest of my own things, I could only be my sweetheart, and I couldn't help but imagine what kind of "senior" it was............ Forget it, it's too hard to imagine.
I handed the kraft paper to Chu Zhilan, he picked up another one and stuffed it into my mouth, I ate happily, and he fed it naturally, but I suddenly remembered that I am a man now! I even held hands with him in the crowd!
A sudden sentence came from the crowd: "I said you are not disgusting?" ”
The hand I wanted to break free was tightly grasped by Chu Zhilan, Tianzijing Market, crowded, in front of everyone's eyes, Chu Zhilan held my hand tightly, raised it high, and swore an oath: "I can hold whoever I like to hold my hand, what does it matter to others?" ”
I cried, I was moved to cry by this sincere love, believe it or not?
Of course it can't be, I want to blow the heads of the Chu family's brothers and sisters right now :) But I can't beat it, I'm so angry :(
The teahouse at the entrance of Tianzijing Market, where I sat and drank tea. The horn on the stage was singing, Chu Fengyu frowned, "This play is really ugly, it is far worse than the singing voice of the girl in our pavilion." ”
Although I can't understand Yunjiang's play, I have been to Li Yang many times, and Li Yang said that he was a drama idiot, and I didn't think it was a lie to me. He once discussed opera with me, and talked about how difficult it is for the actors, who have studied hard since childhood, and he once saw a drama with his own eyes practicing the stage and his feet have practiced blood. I thought that all walks of life were hard, so I wanted to speak for the opera singers.
"People also eat hard food, and this singing and singing are not very different, not easy to compare, not to compare. Ha ha. I looked at a pair of eyes above Chu Yun's mask and gouged me out, then changed the subject: "Why did you learn from me to cover your face?" ”
"You can't show your face in Dasheng, she can't show her face in Yunjiang." Chu Zhilan sipped her tea and replied.
I nodded hurriedly, "Yes, yes." ”
"It's not understanding, it's thank you." She slammed the teacup on the table and turned to Chu Zhilan, "What's the matter with you?" Where did you get so many Xiao mice? In the crowd, if it causes panic, it will definitely attract people from the government. ”
I thought, "That's why you're deliberately getting everyone's attention in the crowd so that they can't do it?" ”
I muttered, "It's too embarrassing." ”
"Xu Chaodui, if you escaped, you started to float, right? Do you want face or death? Don't forget, Yunjiang hasn't given up on finding their princess of mercy. ”
I hugged Chu Zhilan's arm, and pressed my face against his cyan delicate wide sleeves, "I'm your senior brother's person now." I looked up at him, "Right! ”
"Not bad." Chu Zhilan replied simply.
Chu Fengyu sneered, and the contempt in his eyes was about to overflow.
I didn't pay attention to her gaze, I hugged Chu Zhilan's arm and didn't let go, "So what's going on now?" Are you going to follow the white pavilion rain? ”
Chu Zhilan and Chu Fengyu appeared in Huaizhu one after another, and the people on the cusp of the storm finally escaped from the turbulent capital, but they came back again, afraid that they were stirring up the storm again. The grudge entanglement between King Li and Chu Fengyu and the Lingbo Sect Pavilion finally needs an ending.
Chu Fengyu was inexplicably angry: "I know you don't want to get involved!" ”
"But Bai Tingyu still brought me here, didn't he?" I replied indifferently with a smile.
"He's not here to trick you, it's just that only when you come, Chu Wen will come." She paused for a moment and became anxious again: "You know that you are still here, are you so stupid?" ”
This question again.
I coughed to hide my embarrassment: "Cough, isn't it, let's see with your own eyes to know that what he said is true or false." As I spoke, I let go of the hand holding Chu Zhilan and poured water.
Chu Zhilan, who had not spoken on the side, suddenly said unhurriedly: "Qingyi wants to find a very important person, I have to come, I will follow, after she finishes searching, I will leave." ”
Hearing this, Chu Fengyu and I were both shocked. I didn't think much of it, so I pulled him and asked, "Where are you going?" ”
Chu Zhilan asked with a knowing expression, "Of course I'll go where you go, didn't you say okay?" Do you want to break your promise? My hanging heart instantly relaxed, and there was a little bit of joy.
Chu Fengyu's side couldn't do it, and the teacup in her hand was instantly crushed. "Chu Wen, Xu Qingyi doesn't know anything, I don't blame her, but you shouldn't be like this." The white veil on her face was soaked with tears, and she took it off, revealing a pale face and bloodless lips. Her lips were trembling, "Chu Wen, are you really heartless?" Have you really not had a heartache? Do you have a heart? ”
Chu Zhilan still had a cold face, and said slowly: "I'll say it again, I'll accompany Qingyi to find someone, and then leave." ”
"You came to Jicheng to find me! It was you who said that you were going to shoot and scatter, but you came to look for me again, Chu Zhilan, you can't do this! "Chu Fengyu started to sob, I have never seen her so sad." You said yes, you won't leave anymore. ”
This good girl was angry and cried by Chu Zhilan's cold attitude, I was actually a little distressed, although Chu Fengyu often hurt me and scolded me, and she used to do something to me, but I looked at her crying and felt uncomfortable.
I got up and sat down beside her, her handkerchief was soaked, I was used to pretending to be a man, and I didn't bring a handkerchief, so I had to wipe her face with my sleeve, "Don't cry, I, I'll let your senior brother accompany you." "I gave Chu Zhilan a look: You speak well. As a result, no one looked at the guy who sat there drinking tea......
Chu Fengyu finally left crying, and I looked at Chu Zhilan opposite with a straight face, "She is your junior sister." ”
"Nope."
I was also angry, "No fart! ”
"She's my sister."
I was stunned in place, Chu Zhilan's eyes came back out of nowhere, looking at me with a deep look in her eyes, "So I can't help her, I'll die." ”
After being silent for a long time, I thought a lot before I spoke: "Ah Lan, if I were Chu Yun, I would do the same as her." ”
Chu Zhilan answered without hesitation: "Then I will accompany you." ”
Amazing! Why?
"You're not afraid of my death?"
"I'm afraid." He said, "I'll be with you." ”
I was speechless.
"I don't need someone to bury me, thank you."
Chu Zhilan stretched out her hand and said nothing, as if she was waiting for me to respond. After hesitating for a long time, I took his hand and sat back.
"Chu Yun is my sister-in-law, my father-in-law and my master's only daughter, she can't die."
"Even if she wants to take revenge, it is reasonable, she can't let her go, if she dies, even if I die, I can't explain to the master under Jiuquan. Qingyi, Master and Master have nurtured me, without them, I would have become a lonely ghost a long time ago. Therefore, even if I make Chu Yun hate me, I won't help her. ”
This is the second time Chu Zhilan has shown such a look in front of me. Sad, vulnerable, yet incredibly resilient. Only at this time, he will talk a lot without a few words on weekdays. He hid those words in his heart, and he would not say them if no one told them. I could even feel his hands trembling slightly.
As if he was afraid that I would not believe me, he squeezed my shoulders tightly, his face was very close, and his slightly reddened eyes stared at me, sincere but uneasy.
"Qingyi, if you want to do anything, I can promise you, even if it is something that risks your life, I will do my best to protect you. Even if you're gone, I'll look for you wherever you are. But Chu Yun can't do it, I can't let her. ”
My shoulder hurt him, but I didn't break free, the uneasiness in his eyes was about to overflow, how could I not know? Maybe it's my sentence "You're not afraid of my death?" The question really scared him. But I don't care, what kind of favor do I have with other people's sisters? I'm not that kind of person.
It's really not =_=.
This brother and sister have "fallen ill" one after another, and I can only coax the previous one and then this one.
I didn't care about other places in the teahouse, I threw myself directly into Chu Zhilan's arms, and pretended to be relaxed: "I know what you think about me, don't you show that feeling like you want to kill me every time, okay?" ”
Chu Zhilan, who was frightened by my actions, seemed to calm down a lot, and immediately defended: "I didn't. ”
"You have, you're afraid."
I'm white, the fear of losing the people around me, I'm the whitest.
"I'm scared too."
Chu Zhilan's men subconsciously hugged me tightly, "I'll accompany you, even if you don't need me anymore, I'll accompany you, I won't lie to you." ”
I groaned for a moment and replied, "I'll let you stay with you." ”
