There was silence in the mountains, and when the first birdsong chirped in the morning, Grandma happened to open her eyes.
In the boundless darkness, a faint light gradually faded, and Auntie's heart moved slightly, and she hurriedly stretched out her hand and waved it in front of her eyes, but she still couldn't see anything.
It turned out to be an illusion again.
The brightness in Auntie's eyes suddenly went out like a lamp and candle, and it was also after she lost her sight that she realized that blind people can also sense light, but this light is useless, and she still can't see.
"Knock knock—"
The sound of a knock interrupted her thoughts, and Auntie's empty eyes fluctuated again, and she sat up suddenly, staggered to the door, and quickly opened the door.
"Husband, are you back?"
"Lady, it's me! Aunt Li! ”
Hearing that it was the woman's voice, the hope in Auntie's eyes suddenly disappeared, put away the loss, and said with a smile: "Auntie got up so early!" I thought my husband was back. ”
Aunt Li is Auntie's husband Jun Jiang Hui hired from the village under the mountain to take care of her, the woman is upright and enthusiastic, while reaching out to help her, while laughing: "Just left a few days, how can you come back so soon, you two are really young and interesting, when you are at home, one is holding a shelf, and the other is embarrassed to say anything, Lang Jun is gone, I know that I miss it?" ”
Auntie smiled, and said in her heart that Aunt Li was deceived by appearances, but she didn't know that Jiang Hui's indifference and calmness were pretended, and her shyness and introversion were also pretended.
She let Aunt Li help her to sit down in the courtyard.
The woman brought porridge and chattered: "My niece just became a mother the day before yesterday, and that child is so beautiful!" Jiang Langjun was born tall and handsome, and the lady is also beautiful, the doll you two will give birth to in the future, it must be like a fairy child! ”
Although Auntie married another woman's wife and pulled up her bun, her eyes were still as ignorant as an unmarried girl, and when she heard Aunt Li say this, her eyes were full of ignorance.
It's just that I'm afraid that Aunt Li won't believe it, I've known each other for more than three months, I've fled together for two months, and it's been half a month since I got married, although she and Jiang Hui call each other husband and wife, they haven't even held hands and hugged each other seriously, and the few times they rode together are the most intimate moments, although the two were also separated by a fist at that time.
Before he lost his sight, one day, Jiang Hui was changing his clothes and had just taken off his shirt, when Grandma happened to break into the room by mistake and saw his naked chest and a mole on his chest.
She didn't want to fall behind, endured the urge to run away, pretended to be calm and admired her eyes, and at the end she deliberately praised "the body is quite strong", the indifferent person's eyebrows frowned slightly, but the earlobes were quietly red.
It's a pity that even if he blushes secretly, she can't see it now, and she doesn't know if she can regain her sight and when she will regain her sight.
Auntie sighed silently and gathered her thoughts.
Her eyes are charming, and when she lowers her long eyelashes and thinks, she has a subtle and gentle charm.
The mountain breeze is coming, and the grass is fragrant. The girl sat casually on the stump, her posture was delicate, and her linen clothes fluttered lightly in the wind, which had a unique charm.
Aunt Li couldn't help but look at it twice, and she didn't even notice that someone knocked on the door outside the hospital, but Auntie reminded her, and the woman came back to her senses and went to answer the door with a smile: "I guess, this time it must be Jiang Langjun back!" ”
Auntie is also looking forward to it, when she first arrives here, her eyes can't see, although Aunt Li takes care of the diet and daily life, but her husband is not there, it is inevitable that she will be uneasy, for fear that if there are homeless people breaking into the mountains, or there are uninvited guests.
She listened attentively, but the person who spoke was not Jiang Hui, but a strange woman.
Auntie's heart sank slightly, and she quickly turned her back to the courtyard door, and clutched the object hidden in her sleeve.
The woman was Aunt Li's neighbor, and while looking into the dilapidated courtyard, she said to Aunt Li absentmindedly: "My family is moving out of the mountains, do you want to go with you?" ”
Aunt Li was surprised: "What is better in this world than in the mountains?" Besides, weren't the Hu people beaten away? ”
The woman was worried, "The Hu people have run away, but who can guarantee that they will not come back?" I heard that the Huns occupy most of Yongzhou, and our Zhuxi City and Yongzhou are separated by a Weixing County, if it weren't for the eldest son of the Yan family guarding the city in Weixing County this time, maybe the entire Weixing is now the world of the Hu people! I heard that Lang Jun will be in Zhuxi! It is estimated that he will return to Jiankang in two days.
"In case they leave, the Hu people come again...... I'm really afraid, I also heard from my son that there are a lot of homeless people coming to the north, and the bark will be gnawed away! ”
This woman's son is on an errand in the Zhuxi City Lord's Mansion, and he has always been well-informed, as soon as she heard her say this, Aunt Li suddenly panicked, rubbed her hands and said tremblingly: "Then, where else can I hide......
The woman sighed: "We plan to move to Xincheng County next door and serve as tenants for those big families, but they have dock forts and private soldiers, even if the Hu people don't come, the grain they have to pay as tenants is less than the usual payment to the government." ”
The corners of Aunt Li's mouth, which was often raised, drooped down because of uneasiness, and when she was gone, the neighbor woman poked her head, narrowed her eyes, and glanced thoughtfully at the crack in the door.
Aunt Li blocked her peeping and said with a smile: "That's my lady, the bride is ashamed, don't look at it." ”
The woman retracted her gaze: "Are you going down the mountain?" ”
Aunt Li rubbed her hands and hesitated to answer.
Through the half-hidden courtyard gate, the voice clearly came into Auntie's ears, and her face turned a little pale.
Jiang Hui didn't say the return date before leaving, if Aunt Li was going to leave at this moment, what should she do?
Fortunately, Aunt Li only hesitated for a while, and said firmly: "No matter how anxious you are, you can live another ten days and a half months, and my family Langjun will come back in two days, people have saved me, I have to take care of the lady for him, and Langjun has high martial arts, and he has a lot of knowledge, and I will ask when he comes back." ”
Auntie settled down for a while, the strange woman chatted a few more words and left, Aunt Li returned to the courtyard, and her tone pretended to be relaxed: "Hey, that mother-in-law has always been like that, she chatters about something, don't be scared by her, let's continue to eat!" ”
Despite this, Auntie still heard the panic hidden in her words, and after a few days of getting along, she could understand the temperament of this aunt. At this time, if she expressed her uneasiness, Aunt Li would be even more afraid, so she only smiled faintly: "Auntie, rest assured, if you defeat Weixing County, you will be the hinterland of Jingzhou if you can't keep it, and your lips will be cold, and Yangzhou and Jiankang City will not be protected, so the imperial court will not let Weixing County fall into the hands of the enemy." Moreover, I heard that Weixing County is the place where the ancestors of the Yan clan started, and the Yan family will try their best to keep Wei Xing even if it is for the sake of their ancestors, as long as Wei Xing is okay, our Zhuxi will be stable, at least there will be nothing in the next few months. ”
In the first half, she made it up with her instincts.
Not to mention Aunt Li, Auntie herself doesn't know where she heard these things, but what she wants is the effect in the clouds and fog, which is enough to stabilize people.
Aunt Li was really dizzy when she heard it, and gradually breathed a sigh of relief, and after hearing the "ancestor", she completely relieved her heart - even if it is a big family, she has to protect the ancestral tomb! Seeing that Auntie and a blind girl were as stable as Mount Tai, the woman's panic was suddenly smoothed out, and the corners of her tense mouth rose: "If this is the case, I will be relieved, the lady is really well-informed!" ”
Auntie smiled, she only has half a year's memory, how can she be called well-informed? It's just a make-up.
Aunt Li made up her mind, but the woman's uneasiness was all transmitted to Auntie, and she took the excuse to return to the house, and sat down on the edge of the couch, rubbing the hilt of the knife with her fingertips.
She was calculated by the wicked before, and it was easy to escape but she was blind, and she was already a frightened bird under the successive blows, and her husband often went out, so she asked him for this dagger, and hid it in her sleeve during the day, and put it under the pillow at night, so that she could feel at ease.
But just now I heard from the woman that the son of the Yan family was also in Zhuxi, and Ah Ji inevitably had a fluctuation in her heart.
It was really a coincidence, in order to avoid being sent to the powerful couch by the wicked to become a plaything, she ran away with Jiang Hui, who expected that the powerful person also came to Zhuxi.
Fortunately, the root of the matter is not in the man.
Otherwise, wouldn't it be ridiculous to go around and go around and go back to where you were?
When Auntie was sitting in the small courtyard in the mountains, on the mountain road, the woman frowned and stopped walking.
Thinking of the appearance of the girl she saw through the crack in the door, the woman muttered suspiciously: "Could it really be her?" ”
The "she" that the woman refers to is a person on a painting, she has never seen the painting, but she has only heard her son who works in the city lord's mansion say that the girl in the painting is extremely beautiful, sixteen or seventeen years old, and there is a Langjun by her side, isn't it very similar to the one in the courtyard?
That's the person the eldest son of the Yan family is looking for.
Even if she gives even a little useful information, she can reap a lot of benefits. The woman thought as she walked, clasped her palms together, and hurried down the mountain.
When she arrived in the city, it was already a golden wuxi fall, and the woman found a side door of a large house, hesitated, and the red light was shining in the sunset, and the red light was reflected on the woman's gray coarse linen clothes, and it even had a satin-like color, looking at the worn soles, the woman gritted her teeth and knocked on the door.
After a long time, a young man who was somewhat similar to the woman came out, and after the two said a few words, the young man looked happy and quickly disappeared behind the Zhu Gate.
The corners of the robe swept through the paths, the thresholds, and the words passed through the mouths of many people, and finally crossed half of the city and reached the place where the ink-clothed guards were.
The guard listened, turned and entered the garden behind him.
At this time, it is already night, and the green bamboo in the garden is hidden in the twilight, like an elegant and casual merryman, and the moonlight will hit these elegant bamboo shadows on the window.
The window shook slightly, revealing a white figure.
It was a young gentleman, sitting in front of the bookcase by the window, with his eyes half down, looking kindly at the rabbit with an injured arm, and feeding it gently and carefully.
The ink-clothed guard stepped forward and knocked on the door, but the young man didn't raise his head, and said softly: "The fog is coming?" ”
The guard walked into the room: "Back to the eldest son, there are two things, one is for official affairs, and the other is for private affairs. ”
A thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy beside Lang Jun in white sneered when he heard this: "Break the fog, you stupid goose!" According to Langjun's habit, he naturally listens to private matters first! ”
As the eldest son of the clan, they have always been diligent and elegant, and they like to seek fun in the boring, so whenever there is both official and private affairs in the news sent back, the eldest son will first find interest in private affairs, and then bury the first case.
But this time he expected it wrong, and the white-clothed Langjun continued to feed the rabbit without raising his head: "Chuanyun knows me very well, so let's listen to business first." ”
The ink-clothed guard said with a glance: "Our people caught a person near Zhuxi, suspected of being an assassin, but that person had committed suicide before he was caught, judging by his body and facial bones, it should be the Xianbei Murong clan, a native of Xiyan." ”
The white-clothed Langjun pondered for a moment, and said with great interest: "Do you guess, did he kill himself by cutting his face, did he want to hide people's eyes or eyes?" ”
The guard said: "The subordinates think it's possible, if it is hidden, it means that the assassin was sent by the Xiyan people, if it is annoying, it should be a separation, after all, Xiyan and Da Zhou are now friends." ”
The white-clothed Langjun bowed slightly, and handed the rabbit to the little boy behind him: "The existing clues are not enough to judge, continue to search for the rest of the assassins, and keep the evidence, if someone really wants to separate, we might as well take advantage of the wind." ”
As he spoke, he slowly got up, stood in front of the gold-inlaid furnace of the beast, and picked up the feather dust to remove the incense ash from the furnace.
The hands are very good, the long fingers are like jade white tubes, and the action of playing with the incense burner is pleasing to the eye.
The young man asked, "What about private matters?" ”
The ink-clothed guard's eyes moved slightly: "At dusk, someone came to report that he had seen a girl in a mountain village twenty miles outside the city, which was somewhat similar to the person Lang Jun was looking for. ”
As he spoke, he raised his eyes to look at the young man.
The young man's hand paused slightly, and his long eyelashes lifted and drooped slightly, and after the candlelight, a shadow fell under his eyes, and the warm smile was a little more playful and mysterious.
"Misstepping." He chuckled softly.
"I should have listened to private matters first."
