Chapter Ninety-Seven: I Won't Let Go of Her Hand Even Dead
Guo Duanping asked, "Are you the maid who just entered the house?" ”
He Meixiong's face was still full of vigilance, "I just entered the mansion." It was originally a native of Ningzhou in the northwest, and his grandmother died, and he couldn't survive without food in the village, so he sold himself to become a servant with his brother, and was sold here. ”
This is the statement she agreed with her second cousin in advance.
Half-truths and half-truths will not arouse suspicion.
"You do speak with a northwestern accent. Northwest Ningzhou, Northwest Ningzhou......" Guo Duanping thought for a while, "There are still frequent wars in the border city, and it is really difficult to survive there. That's the end of tonight's business, I won't hold you accountable for your disrespect, so go back. ”
Master Zhang's jaw dropped in shock.
In the past, adults were not so easy to speak, could it be that they experienced the pain of losing a child in middle age, so they changed their temperament?
After He Meixiong left, Guo Duanping asked Master Zhang to step down as well.
In early winter, it's a bit chilly at night on the lake.
Guo Duanping found a piece of Taihu Lake stone and sat down, staring at the pile of unburned paper money, for a long time, he let out a long sigh and put the remaining paper money into the fire.
"Eighteen years ago, I couldn't stand you."
"If you become a powerful ghost, you can take revenge on a certain Guo, so why harm my son?"
The fire burned out.
The fire was extinguished, and as the long wind rose, the ashes with the sparks were like butterflies flying all over the sky, and in the scarlet light and shadow, Guo Duanping's face became older and older.
The other side.
He Meixiong returned to the courtyard, lifted the felt curtain, and stepped into the inner room.
Guo Shanchuan is painting, painting a complex and delicate landscape map, in which the flowers and birds are vivid, full of vitality and interest.
Seeing He Meixiong coming back, he put down the brush, his eyes moist, "Little bear, is it cold outside?" ”
He Meixiong's name is "Zhou Xiong" now, Guo Shanchuan dislikes it as a man's name if it is too rough, so he simply calls her Little Bear.
He Meixiong nodded, "It's getting colder and colder, you see, I'm wearing a jacket." ”
Guo Shanchuan touched He Meixiong's sleeve, and it was really thick.
"By the way...... he looked down and pulled out a round thing from under the stove, "you eat this, and your body will be warm." ”
Because it had been attached to the stove, it was still hot when it was stuffed into He Meixiong's hand.
"Baked sweet potatoes?" He Meixiong was surprised, "Where did you get this?" ”
She had been here for many days, and she knew that the housekeeper was very cautious about Guo Shanchuan's diet, except for medicinal food, other snacks and fruits would never appear here, let alone baked sweet potatoes.
Guo Shanchuan looked at her and smiled, "I begged other little maids to bring it in secretly, I begged for a long time." ”
He Meixiong was naturally happy to have something to eat, so he sat down on the couch and peeled the sweet potato skin by himself.
The sweet potatoes are roasted to golden brown, the entrance is soft and glutinous, sweet and fragrant, and the whole person is indeed warmed up when one comes to the cold night.
Guo Shanchuan watched her eat from the side.
The girl is not the top kind of beauty, and her identity is not noble, and she has only known him for a few days, but ......
A look of confusion and incomprehension appeared in Guo Shanchuan's eyes.
However, he unexpectedly liked to be alone with her.
Seeing her eat to his heart's content, his empty heart became steady and happy.
He Meixiong looked at him while eating, and said seriously: "I heard from the other little maids in the courtyard that in another month, it will be the season of snow in Luojing." ”
"Falling snow?" Guo Shanchuan's eyes lit up, "Since I got sick, I can only stay in the house, I can't blow the wind, I can't get rain, and I can't touch the snow." Whenever I want to see the snow, I can only look through the glass window a few vaguely. ”
He suddenly laughed, because he had been staying in the warm pavilion, his lips and cheeks were extremely ruddy, and he looked very complex, but in He Meixiong's eyes, he was really beautiful and fragile, like a frost flower that would melt when the sun came.
After laughing enough, he said: "Little Bear, my greatest wish in this life is not to be powerful or rich, but to go outside to see a snow, to see the snow between the mountains and rivers, to see it fall all over the rivers, lakes and seas, and to see it dye the mountains pure white......
"If there is really a god in the world, and then give me a favorite little lady, I will hold her with one hand, hold an umbrella for her with the other, we will walk side by side in the white snow, just keep walking, I, I will not let go of her hand when I die......"
His eyes were full of yearning.
He Meixiong took a bite of the roasted sweet potato and muttered: "In our northwest Ningzhou, heavy snow is common in winter, and I have walked a long, long way in the snow. But you just said that having someone you like by your side sounds like a good thing. ”
Guo Shanchuan laughed.
After eating the baked sweet potato, He Meixiong wiped his hands and asked, "By the way, how did you get your illness?" Doesn't it mean that you are healthy before the age of eight? ”
Guo Shanchuan paused and said calmly: "In the winter when I was eight years old, I was pushed down the pond by my eldest brother, and my eldest brother took a wooden stick, and once I swam ashore, he hit my head hard, and I soaked in the water for a long time, and since then the root of the disease has fallen. ”
He Meixiong was stunned.
It turns out that there is still this stubble......
She looked at Guo Shanchuan sympathetically, "I heard that your eldest brother was killed, and your life is about much better now." ”
Guo Shanchuan nodded, but after chatting a few words, he began to cough violently again.
He Meixiong saw that the white handkerchief was stained with mottled blood, and hurriedly helped him to bed.
When Guo Shanchuan fell asleep, she put down the bed tent for him and sat alone in front of the soft couch by the window.
There are still various scrolls scattered on the low table.
She looked at them one by one and couldn't help muttering, "These mountains and rivers are painted like the real thing...... I've never been out before, and I can paint completely different landscapes, Yaye said that there are ravines in the hearts of readers, and I think his ravines are about very deep. ”
He Meixiong looked at the painting scroll when it was on the other side.
He Yao wanted to go back to his room to sleep, but he still couldn't sleep after lying down for half an hour.
She has been in the mansion for so long, and she hasn't been able to inquire about the slightest secret, and Lord Xiao Gu has already begun to urge.
She sat up with a carp, put on her shoes and socks, and left the yard again.
The moon is dark and the wind is high.
He Yao was wandering around the house, and when he passed by the garden rockery, he was suddenly attracted by the sound inside.
Siye was silent, and the woman's delicate voice was extremely clear, accompanied by the man's unbearable muffled snort, and after a while, only the wheezing sound of the two was left.
He Yao wrung his brows, good guy, it's so cold, these two people are actually struggling in the rockery......
The rockery is full of stones, and they are not too panicked.
