Chapter 6: The Vanishing Figures
On the way back to Jiang's house, Jiang Shining heard some excitement outside the carriage, so he stretched out his hand and lifted the curtain, "Stop!"
The groom immediately grabbed the reins and stopped the horse, Ying Wu looked at Jiang Shining in confusion, and saw that Jiang Shining was about to get out of the car, so he helped her get out of the car.
Jiang Shining turned to the groom and said, "You go back first, and for the rest of the way, I'll walk back by myself and tell my father, don't wait for me to eat." ”
The groom nodded, and then drove the horse forward.
Ying Wu naturally wanted to follow Jiang Shining, "Miss, what are you doing?"
"Let's go. ”
Night is approaching, the night market in Fu'an is lit up, Jiang Shining asked Ying Wu to order at will, this girl began to look east and west, what she wanted to buy, Jiang Shining paid for her, Ying Wu was sincerely stunned and didn't dare to buy more.
Cheng Yu got the folding fan from nowhere, and secretly followed Jiang Shining and Ying Wu with the fan to cover his face, keeping a distance from them. Ying Wu was too jumpy, and turned around several times to catch Cheng Yu off guard. Cheng Yu hid, only to realize that something was wrong, what was he hiding, anyway, they didn't know themselves. Cheng Yu thought like this, immediately put away the fan and straightened up his waist and swaggered over, when passing Jiang Shining, Cheng Yu was still very nervous, and he didn't notice the front when he was nervous, Ying Wu ran back excitedly, and Cheng Yu bumped into his arms, Cheng Yu subconsciously reached out to grab Ying Wu's waist, the two were close together, a pair of young boys and girls, there were such intimate movements on the street, which attracted the attention of many passers-by.
Jiang Shining's eyelids jumped, looking at this sudden accident.
Cheng Yu looked at Ying Wu with wide eyes, and Ying Wu also looked at Cheng Yu with wide eyes, and seemed to be blushing.
Cheng Yu immediately let go as if he was avoiding, and Ying Wu fell to the ground with an "ah".
Cheng Yu ran quickly.
Ying Wu originally blushed because it was the first time he had intimate contact with a man, but after such a fall, he instantly sobered up, stood up with his waist propped up, and scolded the bastard in the direction of Cheng Yuran's figure.
Ying Wu turned around and saw Jiang Shining looking at her with a smile, thinking that the picture just now was seen by the young lady, and her face turned red again.
Cheng Yu quickly ran to a willow tree by the river before stopping, holding the trunk with one hand and his waist with the other, panting desperately. remembered that he had just hugged Ying Wu's waist, and touched the bark with the hand holding the trunk, yes, that's how it feels, the waist is too thick, and it doesn't feel good.
Cheng Yu misses his old lair very much, but he is afraid of being kicked back by someone again.
Fireworks suddenly burst into the sky above Fu'an City, and the firelight reflected the entire capital, and people on the streets stopped and looked up to watch the fireworks.
In a small sealed alley, isolated from the hustle and bustle of the night market in the distance, the air was filled with a thick smell of blood, and the sound of "cooing" sounded quietly, as if it was gobbling up and chewing.
The moment the fireworks bloomed in the sky, it also reflected the scene of the dead end, the dead end was piled up with some debris, a man's figure squatted on the ground, bowed his head, a puddle of blood spread under his feet, and when the fireworks dissipated, the dead end fell into darkness again, and in the darkness, there was a pair of pupils shining with green light, which was obviously excited.
On the way back, Cheng Yu, who has always had a keen sense of smell, smelled a strong smell of blood nearby, it was human blood, and the crow clan was very sensitive to the smell of blood and decay, Cheng Yu didn't say a word, and walked in the direction of the smell of blood. When he came to the sparsely populated alley, Cheng Yu saw a cloud of black gas suddenly burst out of the alley, and quickly disappeared at the end of the alley. Although it was dark in the alley, Cheng Yu could see clearly the scene in the darkness, a female corpse lying in a pool of blood, and the place of her heart was hollowed out.
Seeing this, Cheng Yu quickly ran back to the place where the black disappeared, and there was still a fishy smell in the air, Cheng Yu turned into a crow and flew towards the sky.
After shopping in the night market for a long time, Jiang Shining walked back to his house with Ying Wu. Although Jiang He put on a face, he did not train Jiang Shining, Chen came over and took Jiang Shining's hand with a loving face, saying that the wedding date is approaching, and he should be a bride to be married at home, instead of running out of the house all day.
Jiang Shining nodded, and didn't say that he would travel with Song Jun tomorrow.
Jiang Shining returned to the room, the birdcage under the eaves was empty, and there was no little crow that was always happy when she saw her.
Ying Wu followed behind, and when he saw Jiang Shining looking at the cage, he noticed that the crow was not visible in the cage.
The door of the cage was open, and Ying Wu wanted to say something, but he heard Jiang Shining say, "It's okay to fly away." ”
The eldest daughter is going to get married, although Jiang He doesn't want Jiang Shining to marry the third prince, but the holy decree is hard to resist, everyone knows that the three princes are not favored, but the reason why they are not favored is only known to them, and the secret has been rotten by them for more than ten years. Jiang He hoped that on the day of the wedding, the three princes would be able to disturb the wedding.
Thinking of this, Jiang He rubbed his temples, and he couldn't see the copywriting in his hand.
In fact, there is another thing that Jiang He is puzzled about, the ceramics handed down from his ancestors, he opened it today and almost knocked over the box. Originally, there was a figure painted on the porcelain, but it disappeared without a trace at some point, and completely turned into a plain white ceramic. Jiang He thought it was someone who had been replaced, but when he checked it, it was indeed the original, and as for why it disappeared, Jiang He couldn't figure it out.
The crow did not return overnight. The morning sun shot into the courtyard, and the peach trees in the courtyard grew new shoots. Jiang Shining stood under the eaves and stared at the empty birdcage in a daze, habit is not a good thing.
Ying Wu came over and said that the Song family's carriage was already waiting outside the house, and after Jiang Shining heard it, he walked out of the courtyard.
I heard that the apricot blossoms on the hill south of the city were blooming, and Song Jun wanted to go there to watch.
Jiang Shining and Song Jun sat in the carriage, when the carriage drove to the street, there was chaos outside, Jiang Shining lifted the curtain and looked, and found that there were many people gathered outside the alley not far ahead, talking about it, talking to each other, and the officials were maintaining order.
Song Jun also looked over and asked, "What's going on?"
Ying Wu sat outside the carriage, and she said what she heard, "It seems to be a dead person." ”
After Ying Wu finished speaking, she remembered that she had visited here with her young lady last night, and she was immediately frightened.
Jiang Shining saw several yamen carrying a corpse covered with a white cloth coming out of the alley, and a group of surrounding people consciously retreated a way, and the yamen who ended up behind dispersed the crowd.
When Jiang Shining saw this, he immediately put down the curtain.
"The yamen have all been dispatched, and it seems that it is not a natural death. Song Jun said, feeling sorry for the deceased.
Jiang Shining didn't speak, when he went out and encountered this kind of thing, no matter how good his mood was, he would be ruined.
Fortunately, when I arrived at the mountain in the south of the city, I smelled the fragrance of apricot blossoms, but I forgot about those dull things.
The apricot blossoms bloom in the south of the city, and many tourists come to watch together. Jiang Shining and Song Jun walked on the tree-lined path, and Ying Wu followed not far behind them.
After a long time, Song Jun stopped and looked at Jiang Shining, as if he had something to say, Jiang Shining also stopped and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Shining, I have something to say to you. Song Jun was a little nervous, and Jiang Shining was also nervous when he saw this.
"I have someone I like. After Song Jun finished speaking, his face seemed to be flushed, and he lowered his head.
Jiang Shining was stunned for a moment before he reacted, and suddenly smiled, pulling Song Jun and asking, "Which family's son is it?"
"Shining has seen it too. ”
Jiang Shining was stunned again, searching for the young man he had seen in his mind, but he couldn't think of who it was.
"Su Qing. Song Jun directly reported his reputation.
"Who is Su Qing?" Jiang Shining just finished speaking, and suddenly thought that the man with an unusually pale face was even more incredible.
Jiang Shining heard Song Jun talk about her second meeting with Su Qing, and Jiang Shining said that it was fate.
Song Jun smiled, because Su Qing also said that there was fate.
"Okay, in the days when I was away, you actually came to Su Gongzilang in a short period of time, and said, were you with him yesterday. ”
Song Jun nodded shyly, saying that he wanted to tell his father in two days. Although Su Qing is not a child of a rich family, her family background is innocent, and after the death of her parents, it is not easy for her to become a teacher step by step, and I hope that my father will not oppose her and Su Qing.
Jiang Shining's first impression of Su Qing was still good, but the two of them were destined to come together, just hoping to be unhindered and stay together until they grew old.
"Song Jun, what does it feel like to like someone?" Jiang Shining asked, she remembered that Song Jun had asked her this question, but she didn't understand it at that time, she just copied the original words in the book. Now Jiang Shining wants to ask Song Jun for his understanding.
"If you like it, you should want to think about him, miss him, want to see him, and want to stay with him for the rest of your life. Song Jun's words revealed a hint of sweetness that she couldn't detect.
Jiang Shining suddenly envied the kind of liking that Song Jun said.
The wind blew, and the apricot blossoms fell for a while, Jiang Shining stretched out his hand and took an apricot blossom.
Ying Wu stood on the side yawning.
After the sunset, on the way back to the carriage, when passing by the Fu'an Night Market, Jiang Shining opened the curtain and looked out, the alley where the crowd gathered this morning had been blocked by the government at the moment, and pedestrians passing by were afraid to avoid it.
After saying goodbye to Song Jun, Jiang Shining returned to the house, and learned that his father had not returned to the house, so Jiang Shining hurriedly led Ying Wu back to his courtyard.
The crow, who had not returned all night, lay in its cage at this time, and cried twice as if it were about to die, and his voice was miserable, trying to attract the attention of the two masters and servants.
Jiang Shining looked over and walked into the room without revealing anything. Ying Wu behind him stepped forward and stretched out his fingers, "Do you know where you went back last night?"
Cheng Yu glared at her, and when she opened her mouth, she pecked Ying Wu's fingers.
The carriage stopped at North Street, and Song Jun found a set of excuses to let the groom go back first. Then Song Jun packed two portions in front of the tofu flower stall as usual.
The lady who set up the stall recognized her, just because she and a young man often frequented her business, and she could see that they were a couple after reading countless people.
"Why is it that you are alone today, the one in your family?"
Song Jun was stunned for a moment, and then he realized who he was talking about, and couldn't help but smile and said, "At home." ”
At this time, Su Qing should have come back from the academy.
The eldest lady packed the two tofu flowers, smiled kindly, and handed them to Song Jun: "You take it." ”
