Chapter XIX Decisions
The two were lucky, and no one found out when they secretly returned to the yard.
Feng Yin was silent all the way, and when he arrived at the "Red Plum Temple", he fell on the snowdrift under the tree as if he had lost all his strength.
After being silent for a long time, Feng Yin leaned against the trunk of the tree and looked up at Wen Shuo, and asked in a trembling tone, "You say, is what the Taoist priest said credible?"
Wen Shuo's face was serious, and he said, "Tiger poison does not eat children, the general should not do this." Besides, Grandpa Xiao's diagnosis is the same as that of Mr. Ji. He said so, but Wen Shuo always felt that today's Grandpa Xiao was a little weird.
If the Taoist priest's words were correct, many things seemed to have explanations, but ...... Wen Shuo didn't dare to think about it anymore, his eyebrows were deeply locked, and he pondered silently.
Feng Yin looked at his expression and knew that he was also suspicious, if he really believed in Doctor Xiao, why did he let the Taoist priest give him that pulse again.
With a long exhale, Feng Yin closed his eyes and carefully recalled all kinds of past events that he had deliberately ignored and even desperately wanted to forget, and muttered, "If it wasn't for his own daughter, if it wasn't for his own daughter, would he have done this?"
Wen Shuo was startled, hurriedly squatted down and grabbed Feng Yin's arm, and said, "What do you say, say it again!"
Feng Yin's face turned pale, his eyes stared at Wen Shuo's eyes even redder, and tears flowed out: "If I weren't the general's daughter, wouldn't you be afraid of me and disgusted with me?"
Wen Shuo was stunned for a long time, but the hand that grabbed Feng Yin's arm did not let go.
Finally relieving himself, Wen Shuo looked straight at Feng Yin, his gaze was as firm as a torch, "I won't." ”
After a while, Wen Shuo tied the courtyard door from the inside, sat down next to Feng Yin and gently wiped away her tears, and said lightly: "Why do you say that, you tell me one by one." ”
At this time, the plum blossoms in the small courtyard are gorgeous, and the plum fragrance is intoxicating. The plum blossom tree was under the wind to clear his thoughts, and Qing Lingling's voice brought Wen Shuo back to the days when he was eight years old, the days he hid deep in his memory.
The back of his mother in a big red robe, the cold and detached conversation when he first met the general, the loving closeness of his uncle, the companionship of his mother-in-law, and everything strange in the general's mansion, and he didn't know anything about the wind before he was eight years old.
When I was eight years old, I didn't understand anything, and I didn't feel wrong at that time, but now that I think about it, everything is so abnormal, in fact, I should know it, but I have been deliberately avoiding it.
Wen Shuo listened quietly, never said a word, and finally pulled Feng Yin's head over and leaned on his shoulder, and said, "If you want to cry, cry out, I won't laugh at you." ”
Feng Yin chuckled at the corners of his mouth, slowly closed his eyes, and there was heavy exhaustion and sadness in his voice, "It's all in the past, it's not worth crying." ”
Wen Shuo didn't persuade again, sighed deeply and fell into silence.
A breeze blew, and a few plum petals fell on Feng Yin's shoulder, Wen Shuo reached out and gently stroked it off, and there was a trace of distress in his voice: "Why haven't you told me all this time?"
Feng Yin opened his eyes, but his gaze fell to the ground, "I'm like, if you knew, maybe you wouldn't want to pay attention to me." ”
Wen Shuo smiled faintly, his voice calm and firm, "I won't." No matter whose daughter you are, I will do to you as I do now. ”
Feng Yin moved the side face that was resting on Wen Shuo's shoulder, and reached out and gently grabbed Wen Shuo's arm.
After being speechless for a long time, Wen Shuo made a decision in his heart. Shaking his shoulders summoned Feng Yin out of silence, and said, "Feng Yin, don't drink Mr. Ji's medicine in the future." ”
As he spoke, he turned to face Feng Yin's face and explained, "Mr. Ji's medicine doesn't necessarily have a problem, but since someone said so, we can't take risks." Stop the medicine first, and after a while, let's see if there are any changes in your body. ”
He took out the brown pill from his arms and handed it to Feng Yin: "That Taoist priest looks like a god, but we can't believe him completely." What if he is a charlatan, and what if he has a good pulse but the medicine is not good, so you should not eat this elixir first, but don't throw it away, just find a random place to put it first. ”
Feng Yin nodded, reached out and took the elixir, glanced at it, and put it in his sleeve.
The words that the man in black said under the ginkgo tree flashed in his mind, and Feng Yin just wanted to tell Wen Shuo, but the sound of "clang" at the courtyard door sounded, obviously someone pushed it outside, but because it was locked by Wen Shuo from the inside, it was not opened.
The two of them hurriedly stood up and didn't dare to make a sound again, but before the two of them could react, a piece of cyan clothes fell from the wall into the courtyard, and Feng Yin looked at it and breathed a sigh of relief, the person who came was the uncle.
"Uncle. ”
"Father-in-law. ”
Both shouted at the same time.
When Wu Jifeng saw the two people in the courtyard, the anxious look on his face faded, and he hurriedly walked towards them, looked at Feng Yin and said, "It's past lunch time and you won't go back, it's rare for me to go to your place once and you're not here." ”
Wen Shuo reacted first, and lied with a smile: "I've been overdone and forgotten the time, why did you suddenly remember to go to Fengyin, father-in-law?"
Wu Jifeng walked up to Feng Yin, stroked the black hair on the top of her head, and then turned his face to look at Wen Shuo and said, "I want to take you over for a meal, but I haven't found you for a long time." ”
Wen Shuo didn't look at his eyes awkwardly, lowered his head and said haha: "Aren't I accompanying the wind to appreciate the plum." ”
Feng Yin hurriedly looked up at the uncle, nodded and said, "Yes...... I didn't see enough yesterday, and ...... It was so stuffy in the room, so I stayed a little longer!"
Wu Jifeng looked up at the plum blossoms on the tree and sighed: "Also, there are only plum blossoms to enjoy in winter." ”
Feng Yin saw that the confusion had passed, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. Only then did he notice that something was wrong and asked, "Uncle, aren't you going back to the barracks with your father today, why haven't you left so late?"
Wu Jifeng smiled kindly and said, "Your father has passed, and I still have some private matters, so I have to go over tomorrow." ”
I don't know why, after getting up early, Wu Jifeng began to panic for no reason, and always felt relieved that he couldn't groan, so he wanted to see her and leave, but he didn't find anyone. I had already come to look for this small courtyard some time ago, and the two children were clearly not here. Wu Jifeng seemed to have something blocked in his heart, could it be that they would lie to themselves now?
If it's just greedy for fun, it doesn't hurt to go elsewhere, but if it's something else, Wu Jifeng looked at Feng Yin's increasingly pale face and became vigilant, this kind of thing must not happen again!
Suppressing all kinds of emotions in his heart, Wu Jifeng said lightly: "You should be hungry too, let's have lunch together." ”
Wen Shuo also felt his stomach rumbling and protested when he heard him say this, nodded happily, and the three of them walked out of the courtyard together.
On the roof, the demon lord sat there and drank "Drunken Sleeping Immortal" without taking a sip, his eyes seemed to be drunk, but his heart was very sober, this girl was really not Wu Jichen's daughter.
Since this child only moved here at the age of eight, it seems that Luo Anhua has to check what happened before the age of eight. The corners of the Demon Lord's mouth rose slightly, but this child's forbearance was not annoying.
Before leaving, Wu Jifeng summoned Li Ji to him and instructed: "In my absence, keep an eye on Miss." ”
Li Ji's eyes rolled around and he didn't understand what his master meant, so he hesitated and said, "Ah...... Well...... , master, you ...... What does that mean?"
Wu Jifeng glanced at Li Ji, who was looking up as if rolling his eyes, and added: "She remembers everything she has done, especially abnormal things, and I remember to report it when I come back." After thinking about it, he added: "If it's particularly abnormal, don't wait for me to come back, go directly to the barracks to report." Also, she must not be allowed to leave the house. ”
Li Ji thought to himself, isn't this just surveillance. The master of his own family has always loved the eldest lady, why is this suddenly going to be monitored, is it possible, is it the eldest lady who has done something wrong? But after thinking about it, this eldest lady has always been out of the door, and there is no need to monitor at all.
But the master can still tolerate himself to say no, Li Ji is a discerning person, so he nodded solemnly very sensitively, and promised: "Yes, the little one will do his best to do this well!"
It has been more than ten days since the white-clothed Taoist priest came back, and Feng Yin obeyed the agreement with Wen Shuo and stopped drinking Mr. Ji's medicine.
On the first day, Feng Yin found the right time to drink a big mouthful of medicine in front of her mother-in-law, but immediately put down the medicine bowl and kept sticking out her tongue and shouting "ahhhhhhhhh As soon as the mother-in-law touched it, the medicine was indeed hot, so she asked her to drink it after a while, Feng Yin nodded obediently, and the corner of her mouth showed a sly smile when she lowered her head.
Walking around the yard with a medicine bowl, pretending to bow her head and drink a sip of medicine every few steps, the mother-in-law watched in the house, thinking that the effect of the mountain ginseng was still there, and the child couldn't sit still, so he didn't say anything. Finally, when the mother-in-law lowered her head and read the scriptures seriously, Feng Yin walked slowly to the edge of the banyan tree, and quickly poured the bowl of medicine on the edge of the tree.
Anyway, the medicine residue is buried there, and even if it smells, the mother-in-law will think that it is from the medicine residue and will not be suspicious.
From then on, Feng Yin sometimes poured the medicine into a random bottle in the house while her mother-in-law was not paying attention, and then secretly took it out and poured it out while her mother-in-law was reciting the scriptures; I think Feng Yin has always been obedient, and her mother-in-law will not suspect that she is using her crooked brains, so she has not noticed anything unusual.
In order to cover up the evidence, Feng Yin also tried her best to do the work of burying the slag, and her mother-in-law finally couldn't bear to refuse when she saw her smiling face when she was eager to try, and the days went by like this.
Wen Shuo saw that Feng Yin's body had no discomfort during these days, but his spirit was better and better, so he was relieved to let Feng Yin continue not to drink medicine, thinking that maybe Feng Yin's body would get better and better.
But when I thought that Mr. Ji would come to diagnose the pulse next month, I was faintly worried, what should I do if I was diagnosed by Mr. Ji, and how would it end then?
I thought that I should go to that road again when I have time, and see if I can meet the white-clothed Taoist priest again, maybe he can help him, but I went there a few times later, but I never saw that person again.
In the blink of an eye, the New Year is approaching, and the house begins to be lively and lively. Sitting under the porch, Feng Yin could often hear the crisp laughter of the servants in the distance from the small courtyard, and the laughter was full of anger, and Feng Yin's heart was happy to hear it.
In recent days, Feng Yin squinted and yawned every time he sat in the yard, like a lazy kitten, and hid in bed to squint for a nap when he was really sleepy. The mother-in-law smiled and said that spring has not yet come, and your spring sleepiness will be committed first, but it is a season earlier than others.
Feng Yin only smiled, and his eyes were full of tired sleepiness.
Xu slept a lot during the day, always tossed and turned at night, and often lingered in all kinds of bizarre dreams, but when he woke up, he forgot all about those dreams.
This night, Feng Yin was so sleepy that he went to bed early. In the middle of the night, a gust of north wind blew outside the house, blowing the window paper whirring, and the wind in his sleep frowned and turned over uneasily.
At this time, I don't know what appeared in the dream, in the darkness of the room, I sat up with a low cry of fear, a pair of big eyes full of water vapor instantly widened in horror, and my mouth unconsciously murmured: "Daddy, where are you?"
In the middle of the night, two lines of tears fell from his face.
