Chapter 54: Deliberate
"Where's the grasshopper on a snowy day?"
About an hour later, the jade hairpin girl who woke up walked out of her boudoir.
She looked at the painting on her case, which had been added with a "stubborn stone" and a grasshopper, and couldn't help but mutter.
Grasshoppers, which grow in the spring and disappear in the fall, are there winter grasshoppers?
But Zhen Pu couldn't hear what Miss Yuchai said, because he locked himself in the room, and he didn't know if he was asleep, or he hid in the room for fear that she would blame!
After all, he had painted on her drawings without her permission!
"Hmph, I'll forgive you this time. ”
The jade hairpin girl smiled and muttered again.
If it were someone else, she would definitely be furious, but that person was Zhen Pu's son, so the jade hairpin girl's temper would not be able to come out.
Thinking of this, the jade hairpin girl turned around, opened the cabinet beside her, picked out a few paintings from the paintings she had saved before, and then took out a bag and put these paintings into the bag along with the painting.
He was going to take the paintings to the studio and frame them.
Those paintings, birds, fish and insects, she framed them, and they can be sent to sell in the painting room, as for this portrait of Zhen Pu's son, she naturally will not sell it, she will keep it, and in the future, she can take it out from time to time.
After all, the current son of Zhen Pu is already an elm pimple who doesn't like to talk, and she still likes him who loves to laugh.
The jade hairpin girl packed up, and then carried an oil-paper umbrella and prepared to go to the door.
"Zhen Gongzi, I'm going out to Liu Mianzhai, I won't be back until the time of the unitary, if you are hungry for a while, you can cook a bowl of noodles and eat them yourself, don't wait for me!"
Miss Yuchai came to Zhen Pu's door, knocked lightly, and said to the house.
There was no response in the house, it was quiet.
But Miss Jade didn't care about him, he knew that he had been this taciturn character lately.
The girl just opened her red oil-paper umbrella and went out.
Zhen Pu sat quietly in the room with his eyes closed, and he didn't fall asleep, so he naturally heard the words of the jade hairpin girl.
However, he did not answer.
He didn't know why he didn't like to talk.
That arrogant and domineering self had already died when he walked out of the Rongguo Mansion.
Now he is just a poor man riddled with karma!
He is so guilty that he should not speak.
Outside the door, there was a "squeak" and the sound of the door opening was heard.
Miss Yuchai went out, and he was the only one left in this house.
So, it was quiet again.
He heard the girl leave, so he opened the door and walked out of the room.
He really wanted to open the courtyard door to see the back of the jade hairpin girl walking on the street, but he only dared to think about it, but he didn't dare to do it.
In the outside world, he only dared to look at the sky above him, and as for the rest, it was as terrible as hell to him.
He silently took the axe, came to the courtyard, and continued his great cause of "chopping wood"!
Meticulous and not a word.
......
In the blink of an eye, another more than an hour has passed.
Before you know it, the unitary time is coming.
In winter, the night always comes early.
As soon as the time came, the sky gradually darkened, and the twilight was full of smoke.
After a while, it was dark.
If you don't light the lamp, you won't see your fingers.
Zhen Pu had already stopped chopping firewood, because the firewood room could no longer hold so much wood.
And more importantly, the jade hairpin girl has not come back yet.
Time is like flowing water, there is no sound, and in another quarter of an hour, the unitary hour will pass.
Before, the jade hairpin girl also took the painting and went to Liu Mianzhai to frame it and sell it, but as soon as she arrived, she came back, and it was never so late.
Outside this house, the lights are blind, there are not many pedestrians on the road, she is a girl's house, if something happens, what can I do?
Zhen Pu stood silently in the courtyard, staring at the courtyard gate with his eyes, without saying a word, and his heart was indescribably complicated.
The cold wind is like a knife, and the moon moves and moves.
Before you know it, the unitary time has passed, and the time has passed.
Miss Jade Hairpin still hasn't come back.
Zhen Pu looked at the closed courtyard door, his feet suddenly disobeyed, took a firewood knife for chopping wood, put it in his sleeve, and then walked straight towards the courtyard door.
His hand was on the doorknob, and he wanted to open the door that led to the outside, and then went out to look for the girl who had not returned for a long time.
He was afraid that he, the lone star, would cause her some trouble!
He wished her a life of peace and joy, no illness and no disaster, and he didn't want her to have any accidents!
Zhen Pu's hand holding the doorknob was almost trembling.
Outside, it's his demons and his illness.
He didn't dare to go out of the house, but at this time, he had to go out again.
"Squeak-"
The door was finally opened by him!
Zhen Pu looked at the dark street outside the house, trembling his body, and finally stepped out of the house again after more than ten days.
In the house, it is home.
And outside the house, it is the capital, the capital of the little emperor, and the capital of the little emperor who slaughtered the door of the Rongguo Mansion.
Zhen Pu was almost out of breath.
But in the end, he stepped out of his other leg, and in the moonlight, he broke into the dark streets to find her traces.
He didn't want anything to happen to her!
He was almost determined to die!
Although there are no demons and monsters waiting for him in front of him.
It's just that after running dozens of steps anxiously in his heart, at the corner of the street, a beautiful woman holding a red umbrella and holding a picture scroll walked out.
That woman is naturally a jade hairpin girl.
She hides in the night, walks leisurely, quiet and serene.
She smiled slightly, very gently.
That gentle smile told Zhen Pu that she deliberately didn't go home.
She stood on that street corner for a long time, just to wait for him to come out to her.
The woman was clever enough to know what he was afraid of, but not wise either, she could have pretended to be a little more like him and not let him see it.
That way, she won't be blamed by him.
But she seemed to have eaten him, and was not afraid of his blame, and when she saw him carrying a firewood knife towards her, she was not in a hurry or hurry, but still only smiled, not at all afraid that he would cut it into her neck later.
"You did it on purpose!"
Zhen Pu walked on this street that once frightened him, but now it seems that it is nothing more than this, and said coldly to the jade hairpin girl.
"Well, it was on purpose!"
The jade hairpin girl also spoke coldly, not stunned at all.
"...... I'm a little worried, it's not good for you to do this, it's cold outside, and it's dark, you're so pretty, something will happen!"
Zhen Pu put away the firewood knife.
This firewood knife is for her protection, not for her.
"You-like me!"
Miss Jade said.
She stared at Zhen Pu's eyes, and Zhen Pu hurriedly dodged, her eyes wandering.
Zhen Pu looked at the bluestone slab on the ground and said, "No......! You're mistaken!"
"You just like me!"
Miss Jade knew that he would not admit it, and she herself did not intend to change her mind.
Whether he admits it or not, it has nothing to do with him, she knows it herself, it's enough!
"Back to ...... Let's go home!"
Zhen Pu turned around, didn't wait for her, and went back to the house by himself.
"Hee-hee, look, there's nothing terrible out there, right?
When the jade hairpin girl saw him walking back, she also followed.
She was smiling and in a good mood!
It's just that the next moment, she can't laugh anymore!
For some reason, her whole body suddenly became cold, like falling into an ice cave.
Her feet were gone, her hands were gone, her eyelids were gone, her whole body was stiff, her scalp was numb, she felt so sleepy that she couldn't hold on for a moment, and she wanted to fall asleep.
"Bang-"
She stooped and fell heavily to the ground.
The last thing she saw was the anxious appearance of Zhen Pu, who turned around and hurriedly ran towards her!
"He really likes me!"
She thought to herself.
Then, he lost consciousness completely.
