Chapter 66: Thunderstorm
But he wouldn't tell anyone about it. In the past, if he had survived the Heavenly Tribulation, he would immediately tell Zhi Dan with a loud voice, and at the same time trembling to find a place with no people for ten miles and wait for its arrival. But now it's different, hundreds of years have passed since his last tribulation, and he has experienced too many things in the past few hundred years, and his state of mind is very different from the past. If it weren't for Yun Arbitrary, he felt that it didn't matter if he was killed by thunder.
He sighed, picked up the book he had thrown away, and put it back on the shelf. Since they have all entered the "messy building", they simply look for something valuable. The Taoist actually hoped in his heart that he could turn it out and say something
A book on how to change his life against the sky, so that Yun can continue to follow him safely and steadily.
But that's just his selfishness.
Let's go back to the General's Palace. That day, after Xie Wan knew that she could not marry the son of the right minister, her attitude towards Xie Yan was not as good as one person. She didn't like this sister who suddenly appeared very much, but now she can please Brother Lingyou without doing anything, and she feels even more unfair in her heart. Xie Yan is very observant of words and feelings, and knows that her sister doesn't like her, so she doesn't bother with it, so that the two sisters often don't have anything to say for a day.
Xie Yan was originally raised by the Taoist to have a lively and active temperament. Although the general's mansion is big, there is no place for her to play. In addition, Xie Yuan and Mama Jiaoxi took good care of her and wanted to train her to be a lady, so Xie Yan felt more and more depressed, and usually could only look at the plane tree outside the window in a daze, or fold a thousand paper cranes to play with him. If the elders come suddenly, they will ask for it. Picking up a pen to write or embroidering with a needle and thread, and no one to confide in her discomfort really ruined her temper.
In fact, she has only been in this general's mansion for half a month, and she is about to grow worms all over her body. It was very windy that night, and after a while there was a muffled thunderstorm, and the raindrops knocked the plantains outside the window with a crisp sound. It was the first thunderstorm of the summer, and it turned her toss and turn, and she couldn't sleep. A child of her age was a little afraid of thunder, and she didn't want to go out to find a maid to accompany her, so she had to cover her ears with her eyes open and tremble.
A bolt of lightning struck, and suddenly an additional figure appeared in the room. Under the backdrop of this atmosphere, this figure looks terrifying, terrifying and weird. Before she could scream, a warm palm suddenly covered her mouth, and a familiar voice sounded, "It's me!"
This is Rong You's consistent voice, hippie smiling, and with some concern. Xie Yan's eyes were exceptionally bright in the dark, she stared at Rong He directly, as if she hadn't reacted yet, Rong You just wanted to laugh at her for staying in the General's Mansion for so many days, and people became stupid, and suddenly felt a hot tear drip onto the back of his hand. The little girl pouted and plunged into his arms without saying a word, clasped his waist with both hands, and wept until her whole body trembled, and she did not say a word.
Rong He took the smile on his face, sighed softly, and reached out to touch her hair.
"How did you get so thin...... Are you having a bad time at the General's Mansion?"
He was obviously knowingly asking. Xie Yan finally held back the tears that were about to come out of his eyes again. She sniffled and asked aggrievedly, "When is Master coming to pick me up?" Won't he take me back? ”
"I don't like it......" Rong He nodded pretending to understand: "I'll tell the Taoist chief when I go back, and let him pick you up immediately." It's too unreasonable to be left here, isn't it? We've been a little busy these days, so we'll just be done when we're done. We don't like this general's mansion, so we won't stay!"
What he said seemed seamless on the surface, but cold sweat broke out in his heart. He was afraid that Yun would hear something wrong at will, and he would have to be confused when he knew everything. The Taoist has been locking himself in the "messy building" for the past few days, trying to find a trace of fate in the vast collection of books. He doesn't know how many days he hasn't rested, and he has lost a book, in Ronghe's opinion, this "messy building" can be said to be well-deserved-things are messy, and they are messy.
Xie Yan was obviously convinced of Rong He's words. She knows that adults always have a lot to do. If she still clamored at this time to ask Master to take her back, it would be purely adding to the chaos. She nodded towards Rong He, her tears were still full of tears, but there was a sweet smile on her face, she said, "Then I'll wait for you to pick me up, don't play tricks!"
Another thunderclap sounded, Xie Yan was so frightened that he immediately covered his ears, his face wrinkled, and he drilled his head into Rong He's arms. He casually took the cloud into his arms and sneered mercilessly: "Yo, you're afraid of thunder!"
"I didn't!" she said, "humbling," and her whole body was shaking into chaff. But because of the existence of tolerance, the uneasiness in her heart was also slightly reduced, and the whole person was relieved, so she drilled into his arms more unscrupulously.
"My father doesn't hug me, my mother doesn't hug me, and my sister doesn't like me. It's been a long time since I've hugged someone. She paused and continued, "Brother Rong, how did you get to be raining so hard outside? Are you still leaving tonight?"
After she finished asking, she suddenly remembered that Rong He had said that he and Master were very busy, and felt that she was too stupid, so she hurriedly added: "Now I'm not afraid of thunder!"
Rong He has always disliked rainy days, because the water droplets will wet his fur, making the whole fox wet and slimy when he turns into a fox. But since there was thunder outside, the Taoist chief was worried about whether she would be afraid of thunder, and he didn't dare to go, so he just let Rong He go over and take a look.
"Really, aren't you afraid?" he asked, a little confused.
"Well, I'll sleep obediently. She hesitated for a while, but still gently sent Rong You, lay down on the bed obediently, and grabbed the quilt to cover most of her body.
"Go back, goodbye. Goodbye - I'm a little reluctant to let you go......"
She turned her back to Rong He and covered her head with the quilt, as if she didn't have to face his departure.
Rong He thought that Xie Yan was not afraid of thunder, so he really left.
After a while, she quietly lifted the quilt, and the room was empty, and she was the only one left, still lingering with the aroma and moisture that she brought. She couldn't help but get angry, and she pouted and threw the pillow from one side of the bed to the other with great force.
