Chapter Ninety-Seven: The End of the Year
Zhou Yi saw that she was worried, and she knew what she was thinking, but this matter was related to Mengyan's life and death and the direction of the entire situation, and she couldn't be shaken at this moment. As soon as he saw that Yu Xi was about to ask, he clasped his fists with both hands, bowed deeply, and said in a soft and heavy tone: "Sister Yu, you respect me as a brother, I should know what you think, but now is not the time after all, we are still in this puzzle, there are still many unresolved puzzles that have not been solved, I hope you can calm down, okay?"
Being persuaded by him like this, Yu Xi swallowed back a word that hung on her lips, compared to the original bleak and angry mood, it was like a trace of warmth at this moment, making her face look a little happy. Looking at him with him, his heart couldn't help but tremble, so he quickly turned his gaze to the side, nodded and returned the salute, and said, "Brother, Yu Xi has written it down!"
Zhou Yi let out a long breath, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly, "Don't worry, I will get back the innocence of Old Predecessor Yu for him." ”
Yu Xi smiled and nodded, "Let's go, it's eerie and weird here." ”
The two were about to go out, only to see Sima Chun still observing the Taoist robe on the third stone statue, Zhou Yi was afraid that he was also poisoned by phosphorus, so he hurriedly asked, "What is my brother thinking?"
"Oh, I'm looking at this, there are other mysteries. ”
"There is still unburned white phosphorus on this robe, be careful of poisoning. ”
Sima Chun sighed, raised his head and smiled reluctantly, "Then let's go, it's been too long to come out, I'm afraid they will be suspicious." ”
"Okay, I'll go hunting with you!"
Zhou Yi couldn't help frowning when he saw that she was interested, and froze in place, "It's the middle of the night, the snow outside is too deep, what kind of hunting are you going to hunt?" My brother and I came out under an excuse, just because we didn't want to attract their attention. ”
She changed her tone and said with a serious face: "Then I don't care, the words have been said, if you go back empty-handed, it will make them suspicious, if you don't go, I'll go by myself!"
"Huh?"
Zhou Yi was hesitating, Sima Chun walked to his side and whispered: "It's not easy for her to calm down and accompany you to play this scene, instead of going to Mengyan to make a big fuss." I advise you to follow her, lest she repent. But then again, even if you protect Mengyan in every way, she is an insider after all, what else can you do when the truth is revealed?"
"To tell you the truth, I'm really looking forward to and scared of this truth!"
Sima Chun smiled weirdly: "Men, you should also start from the beginning like a woman, otherwise, there will always be a time when you are troubled!" said this, and walked out of the door.
This sentence is particularly harsh, the matter has come to this, he is only pity for Mengyan, although he saw a little shadow in her eyes, but he knows very well that this illusion from long-term worry is beautiful, but it is a dream after all, and he is by no means the same picture of flowers and intestines as Sima Chun said, so he was suddenly ridiculed by this sentence, Zhou Yi was embarrassed and red-faced, looking at the backs of the two of them going out, as if trying his best to argue and explain, "Hey, I don't have ......"
When I went out, I saw Yu Xi standing in the snow waiting impatiently, and the temperature dropped sharply in the dead of night. Yu Xi stood in the snow and shivered, and asked with disgust: "Are you going or not!" Why is it that it has been more than ten years, and the character of this mother-in-law has not changed at all!"
Zhou Yi grabbed her hands, held them to his lips and sighed a few times, and said with a smile: "Can your body hold up during the snowy season?" As he spoke, he looked left and right again and asked, "Where did my brother go?"
Yu Xi pouted, as if he was angry, and snorted: "It's a cold day, he went back to accompany Sister Murong, what's the matter, don't you get used to people talking quietly and want to stir up the situation?"
As he spoke, he pulled back his sleeves, turned around and walked to the front yard, shrunk his head and hid his chin into the collar vigorously, and said happily: "We don't eat and drink here for nothing, what is in this mountain, we will catch her back tonight, it is considered the ration of these days......"
As soon as she turned around, she saw that Zhou Yi was still stunned in a daze, and her heart immediately became angry, and she stomped her feet angrily, "Zhou Yi, if you don't leave, the sky will be bright!"
He didn't think about anything, but suddenly noticed what Yu Xi had just said, and couldn't help scratching his head and thinking hard, thinking to himself, did she see me ten years ago? But Yu Xi was in a hurry, and he couldn't allow him to ask more, so he ran over and pulled him, and dragged out the door. However, in his opinion, ten years ago, the two exchanged letters frequently, and it is not surprising that Yu Xi knows his childhood personality.
==***==
At the fifth watch of the next day, Zhou Yu and the others came back from the mountains, relying on Niansheng's good foot strength and hitting a lot of prey. However, at that time, everyone was still resting, and they couldn't guess where Sima Chun and Murong Xue were, and it was very embarrassing to bother, so they could only let Niansheng lie under the corridor, and they could also block the wind and cold under Niansheng's plump fur.
At dawn, Sima Chun came out of the guest room, and when he saw the two of them in such a situation, he joked to him: "When you are a confidant, you can sleep on your feet!
Niansheng was alert, it had already woken up when Sima Chun came out, but it was afraid of disturbing Zhou Yu and the others to rest, so he lay on the ground and didn't move, just looked up at him. He smiled, and the two of them naturally woke up, Yu Xi's injury had not healed, and he stayed up all night, until this time he was tired, and said sleepily: "If it weren't for the fear of disturbing the good dreams of your husband and wife, I would knock on the door one by one, and you are embarrassed to say cool things here!"
"Nonsense again, I've been waiting for you all night, where are you crazy!" The door of another room not far away opened slightly, and Murong Xue walked out wearing a windbreaker.
"Ah, you didn't live together yesterday......" Yu Xi looked embarrassed, rubbed his eyes and said to Zhou Yi: "I knew earlier, we don't have to freeze here." ”
Murong Xue walked up to her, raised her hand and gently touched her head, and laughed at her with a wicked face: "I think you did it on purpose!
Everyone looked at each other and laughed, and the matter was no problem.
After a while, Mengyan and Zhaonu also came to the front yard, saw them laughing under the corridor, looked at them from a distance for a while, smiled slightly, and shouted at them: "Why are you talking so happily, and you don't call me?"
Zhou Yi saw her and the slave coming here, and the nerve in her heart was tense, and she was afraid that she would forget the promise she made last night, and this New Year's Festival would be uncomfortable. Sima Chun also saw through his worries, so he coughed twice, signaling Zhou Yi to stop in front of Yu Xi, and he greeted Murong Xue.
"Today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, more than 20 years, this empty big yard, has never been so lively this year. Without delicacies and jade brews, the slaves and I can only pay you coarse tea and light rice. ”
Murong Xue hurriedly smiled and walked over, "Sister's words are out of sight, although we don't run the rivers and lakes all year round, but it is no different from being homeless, we have been bothering here for many days, and my sister can treat each other as sisters, which is our greatest gratification." ”
Meng Yan raised his eyebrows and said: "Where is my sister, since we are destined to meet, you and I should not be polite." A few days ago, I asked the slave to prepare a set of utensils for the New Year, and everyone is here today, just to have a lively time. ”
Sima Chun immediately answered, "Last night, Zhou Yi and I caught some game in the mountains, Murong Xue was naturally skillful, everyone can taste it!"
"That's Miss Lao," the slave smiled, turned to Mengyan and said, "I'm busy every year, and I can finally be lazy today." ”
Mengyan hid his face and smiled: "Then you can't be idle, go and hang up the couplet I wrote." ”
"Huh?"
"Ah what, if you can't finish hanging, you are not allowed to eat!"
The crowd laughed.
Yu Xi never had a chance to speak, and besides, Zhou Yi blocked her behind her, as if he intended to guard against her, so he was very upset in his heart, so he frowned and sighed, and said: "I can't eat white rice either, call slaves, I'll accompany you!"
Zhou Yi was shocked in her heart, afraid that she would poke out some kind of basket, so she hurriedly gave Sima Chun a look. Sima Chun comprehended and hurriedly said, "I'm idle and bored, I'll accompany you." ”
With that, the three of them had their own hearts and left silently.
Murong Xue couldn't see through the mystery, she always felt that something was wrong, and she followed, and in the blink of an eye, only Zhou Yi and Mengyan were left here.
Mengyan seemed to have something on his mind, but he hesitated slightly, and when the words came to his mouth, he just looked at each other without saying a word.
Zhou Yi said: "Another year has passed, and it's time for your heart to go." ”
When Meng Yan heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned and asked him, "What do you mean?"
Zhou Yi pondered for a moment, looked at her bright eyes, and said in a firm tone: "The injury on your leg can't be dragged out." ”
Meng Yan was shocked, and then burst into tears, looked at Zhou Yi affectionately, nodded and cried.
(Look at Zhou Yi's wonderful hand rejuvenation, guess how Yu Xi makes trouble? See you tomorrow!)
