"It's coming." Ye Fuliu looked around flexibly with a pair of bright eyes, "Go to the door and take a look, and only when you see the situation can you do things." What did you see all the way over just now? ”

Su Qiu is a meticulous person, and he thinks about it carefully for a moment, "The house is clean and elegant. The patio was cleaned up. There was no one everywhere. Walking all the way, it seems extremely deserted. Maybe Wei Jialangjun is a lonely and lonely person, so he will have such an elegant and deserted house. ”

"Your observations are very correct, there is only one thing, whether Wei Jialangjun is born cold and withdrawn, just look at the courtyard layout, it is difficult to judge. People are much more difficult to understand than in a house. ”

There were no half small servants in the side hall, Wei Da hurriedly went to the backyard, and no one even served the tea for the guests, Ye Fuliu walked out of the flower hall by himself, and walked around at will.

"If this Wei Langjun is not born withdrawn, but he deliberately does not see people, does not interact with his neighbors, guards the deserted house, and does not go out for a whole month, there must be something greasy inside."

"That'...... Whether Wei Jialangjun is really cold or false, how do we know. Su Qiu asked.

"Say a few words to your face and you'll be clear." Ye Fuliu stood in front of the water tank and looked in.

There should have been a lotus flower in the tank for a while, and the lotus flower had already died, and there were only a few dead lotus pods floating on the water.

A small birdcage hung under the porch. Maybe I used to raise starlings. Now the starling is nowhere to be found, and only the empty birdcage remains.

Ye Fuliu walked and watched, and gradually found out where the feeling that something was wrong came from-

"There's not a single living creature in the whole house?"

She felt quiet as soon as she entered the door. Now it seems that it is more than the silence where no one walks. In early summer, there is no sound of chirping in the trees, no butterflies flying in the courtyard, and the surrounding area is lush with pine and cypress evergreen trees, and there is not even a single bright flower in the field of vision.

"Our house is deserted enough, and there are two nests of swallows flying around all day under the eaves."

Ye Fuliu carefully observed the surroundings, the tall pines and cypresses blocked the sunlight overhead, and the large area in the courtyard was shady, and the wind blew through the hall, and suddenly there was a feeling of a gust of cloudy wind, and she couldn't help but hold her arms.

"This Wei Langjun is a bit of a Heavenly Evil Lone Star on his body. I look like I'm born withdrawn and lonely......"

Footsteps could be heard in the distance.

Su Qiu pulled down her sleeves, Ye Fuliu instantly shut up, walked back to the side hall as if nothing happened, and sat down in a proper manner.

After a while, Wei Da walked into the hall with a gloomy expression, suppressed his emotions and came over to bow, and thanked him as calmly as possible, "Thank you Little Lady Ye for the soup cake." My family Langjun has used it. ”

The entrance was bright, and Ye Fuliu saw Wei Da's reddened eyes at a glance. Crying again? How can such a big northern man cry all day long.

She asked, "But Wei Langjun doesn't like the taste of my soup cakes?" It's useless to send it in? ”

Wei Da shook his head, "Lang Jun used it." I used five mouthfuls of soup cakes in front of me...... Put the chopsticks down. ”

Ye Fuliu said in surprise, "What's the matter with your family, you only need five people for a meal?" This appetite is smaller than that of a bird, as it used to be? ”

Probably being hit by Zhengzheng, Wei Da's face was difficult to look at, and he barely maintained his calmness and said, "Lady doesn't know, five people are too much." Since moving to the town, Lang Jun often stops with only three bites of food, and sometimes doesn't use a single bite. 5 mouthfuls per meal...... It's already appetizing. It's better than not eating at all. ”

Speaking of this, Wei Da made up his mind, bowed his hand on the spot, and said solemnly, "There is a reluctant request." Can you invite the cook lady of Ye Xiaoniang's mansion——"

"Wait." Without waiting for him to finish his request, Ye Fuliu waved his hand directly, "Don't rush to say it. I haven't understood it yet. ”

She pondered for a while, "Your family Langjun ate five mouthfuls of soup cakes, which is already a very rare amount?" ”

Wei Da nodded. "The taste in the south is sweet and greasy, Lang Jun is not used to eating it, and he often retreats after a glance."

The more Ye Fuliu listened, the more he didn't understand.

"The soup cakes sent over today are suitable for taste, and Wei Langjun ate five bites. The food sold in the town tastes sweet, and Wei Langjun doesn't eat it if he is not used to it. With all due respect, your family...... How did you live to be so big? ”

The words were poking at the sore spot, and Wei Da choked out of his throat, raised his hand and wiped the corners of his eyes.

"My family Langjun is sick. He wasn't like that before. ”

Ye Fuliu listened to Wei Da pinch his head and say a few words.

Listening to Wei Da's tone, his family Langjun has never been a person who pays attention to food and clothing.

A gentleman reads 10,000 books and travels 10,000 miles. Wei Langjun has traveled all over the Dayong Dynasty, and he can eat the hard work of lack of food and clothing, and the hard work of crawling and rolling in the wilderness. I once set up a simple shed in the mountains under thunderstorms, my clothes were muddy and soaked, and only light wild vegetables were cooked in the pot, and I was still safe.

Ye Fuliu listened to the spirit.

She herself didn't dare to say that she had traveled all over half of the territory of the Great Yong Dynasty, and she had traveled all over the borders of Jiangnan and Zhejiang.

"Wei Langjun's walking experience like this, he has traveled all over the famous mountains and rivers. And how can it be closed for months on end? Won't it be stuffy? She asked in surprise.

Wei Da's expression was gloomy.

"Who knows. Lang Jun is like this now, he doesn't see anyone at all, and he is not allowed to hire people at home. Hungry, sick, unwell, never take the initiative to tell anything. If you send the food in front of you, you will eat two bites if it suits your taste, and if it doesn't fit your taste, you will put chopsticks and don't eat it. If it's not to your taste, don't ask. I don't go out for the whole month, and only when I see the sun in the morning, I will go up to the east wooden building to bask in the sun. When the sun is not rising, I sit in the house all day, in what position in the morning, and in that position in the evening......"

Ye Fuliu gasped when he heard this, and felt the wind gusting on his side again.

She hugged her goosebumps-covered arms and sighed sincerely, "It sounds so sick!" It's not like there's something wrong with the body, it's more like a ...... brain." Su Qiu tugged at his sleeves behind his back, and Ye Fuliu finally swallowed the second half.

Hearing is false, seeing is believing. So far, Wei Langjun next door has a serious illness, and she already has seven points of faith. There were still three points of uncertainty left, and she needed to see it again.

Ye Fuliu got up and said goodbye.

Wei Da really sent her out of the side hall.

When he stepped out of the threshold, Ye Fuliu paused, "The bowl that was sent just now-"

"Ahh It's still in Lang Jun's house. I'll go and get it to Little Lady Ye. ”

Wei Da immediately turned around and hurriedly walked a few steps along the corridor to the backyard door, and the sound of light footsteps sounded behind him.

As soon as Wei Da turned around, Ye Fuliu really followed behind unhurriedly.

"I'm young and informed." Ye Fuliu modestly proposed, "But sitting in the house all day without seeing anyone alive and not speaking, it sounds like I locked myself up and put myself in prison." After sitting in prison for a long time, people lose their spirits, which doesn't sound like a good thing. ”

"If your family doesn't mind, I'll go over and take the bowl, and stop by to say hello to Wei Langjun at the door of the house and leave? Wei Langjun is willing to say a few words of greeting, and if he is unwilling to say hello, it can be regarded as something new around him, so as not to live in a pool of stagnant water. ”

A few words of understatement are right to poke at the deepest worry in Wei Da's heart.

He gritted his teeth and responded, "Little Lady Ye is a neighbor who lives closely, and it is okay to say hello in person." ”

Ye Fuliu smiled, revealing a neat row of small white teeth of glutinous rice, "Let's go." ”

——

Wei Langjun rested in the study. It's not far to walk along the porch.

Ye Fuliu was half a step behind, and Wei Da went over first and knocked on the door.

Such a burly man, knocking on the door carefully, for fear of disturbing the appearance inside, first knocked twice, paused, and then knocked.

"Lang Jun, come over and get the bowl. The white porcelain bowl that served the soup cake just now was left in the house, and it was sent by the little lady Ye next door. ”

Wei Da gently pushed the door open.

The silhouette of the room was half-light and half-dark. The carved mullioned window on the east side is half opened, and thin bamboo is planted outside the window, and the shadow of the bamboo leaves is sufficient, and someone is sitting in the shadow by the window.

Ye Fuliu stood by the door and stood on tiptoe, his gaze crossed Wei Da's shoulder, and a pair of dark eyes looked in silently.

The occupants of the room sat sideways, staring at the floor, in a pensive gesture with their heads bowed. Hearing the sound of the door, his shoulders moved slightly, and he leaned sideways.

Ye Fuliu looked up from under the courtyard wall in the past two days, and saw that Wei Langjun on the wooden floor had a tall head with long hands and feet, and he thought that the master and servant of the Wei family were both burly men common in the north.

Today, I took a closer look and found that this slender Wei Langjun has a noble and gentle appearance, which is not like what she imagined.

People sit quietly in the dark, the bamboo shadows swaying outside the window, and a little broken light enters the room, showing the outline of the emaciated and pale lips in the sick.

Perhaps because he hadn't gone out for too long, Wei Langjun's hand on his knee also showed an unhealthy pale color. He was wearing a dark robe today, which was set off by the two sides, and the dark clothes made the skin on the back of his hands so white that it was almost transparent.

Ye Fuliu's eyes were sharp, and he saw the people in the house clearly at a glance, and suddenly he didn't feel that the courtyard outside was deserted.

Good fellow, people look more deserted than the yard.

Chapter 5

Wei Langjun saw Ye Fuliu poking his head behind Wei Da at a glance, his eyes turned indifferently, he didn't say anything, his eyes turned back and continued to stare at the ground.

Wei Da was stared at by the master, as if he had done something wrong, he didn't even know how to let go of his hands and feet, and hurriedly turned around to see off the guests. "Little lady Ye, Lang Jun doesn't want to speak, I'll send you out."

Ye Fuliu refused to leave.

Her eyes were sharp, and she had just seen something on the ground move. "What living creature runs on the ground? It's black. ”

Su Qiu behind her also saw it, and whispered in surprise, "Lady...... Is it a black rat? ”

Wei Da was suddenly startled, and hurriedly rushed into the house. "Where's the black rat?"

"Well, over there." Ye Fuliu saw it clearly this time, raised his hand and pointed to the ground in the house, "It's a big one." It's the piece of land that your family Langjun just stared at. ”

The huge black rat squeaked, scurryed all over the ground with cakes in its mouth, stepped on Wei Langjun's feet in a panic, and disappeared into the corner with a puff of smoke.

Wei Da's panicked inquiry sounded in the room. "The rats in the south are huge, but they can bite Lang Jun?"

"Since there is a rat infestation in the house, I am afraid that there is more than this one. Please Lang Jun move outside the house, and the servant should look for the rat's nest and destroy it as soon as possible. ”

After asking a few words, Wei Langjun never answered, his eyes were sidelined, and he looked in the direction where the rat disappeared.

"It's been in the house for quite a few days."

Wei Langjun's voice was smooth and cold, he should have not spoken a long sentence for a long time, and his speed of speech was very slow.

"The rat's nest is in the northeast corner. A female mouse with three mice comes out twice a day in the morning and evening to feed. It eats it in its nest, and I sit mine by the window. If the two do not interfere, why chase it. ”

Wei Da choked up in shock, "But Lang Jun, in a good house-"

The persuasion sentence that had just been halfway through was interrupted, and Wei Langjun said calmly but without a beak, "See you laughing, please go back." "It's obviously a farewell to Ye Fuliu. His gaze withdrew from the corner where the black rat had disappeared, and he quietly looked at the swaying light and shadow on the blue brick floor.

Wei Da held back his tears and answered "yes", picked up the white porcelain bowl on the table, forced himself to walk out of the door calmly, and beckoned Ye Fuliu to go out.

"Little Lady Ye's bowl is here, please go out with me."

Ye Fuliu took the white porcelain bowl, opened the blue sarong covering the bowl, and looked inside.

It was filled with a bowl of soup cakes, and the dough cake did not move a few bites, but a lot of fresh soup was used. She had a bottom in her heart, she didn't say anything in her mouth, and took Su Qiu out of the Wei family directly.

Wei Da once again mentioned to her the request that "the Wei family pay a high price and ask the Ye family's chef to cook a bowl of soup cakes every day".

Ye Fuliu rejected the offer to pay for the hiring, thought about it, and promised in the name of "neighbor help".

Back in the Ye family, as soon as the courtyard door was closed, it was clear and quiet, and Su Qiu began to mumble quietly. Seeing the black rat pass by his feet, Wei Langjun didn't move his toes, he didn't look like a living person. I just looked, and the cold hairs stood on end. ”

"His family Langjun's illness is really not light." Ye Fuliu also sighed, "Seeing is believing, this time I really believe it." ”

She was thinking too much about it before.

The person who can coexist peacefully with a litter of black rats in the house, and say cruel words like "it eats it, I sit on mine, and the two don't interfere" must have a serious illness on his body, and it is impossible to walk with her.

People sit on a high place every day to bask in the sun, they should really bask in the sun, and they don't intend to spy on her movements.

Before, she was secretly suspicious - under the guise of illness, hiding at home, and secretly doing something that she couldn't see people, she thought too much.
