Chapter 8 Sleeves
When I woke up, I found myself lying on a big bed with pink gauze floating. Behind the gauze, there was a graceful figure standing vaguely. I was about to speak when the man suddenly walked towards me. Before he could get close, the fragrance had already floated into his mouth and nose.
She lifted the curtain and looked at me, and the spring scenery in her eyes could not be hidden. "Sir, wake up. If Jinger hadn't discovered you, Mr., would have frozen to death outside Qifeng Tower."
When I heard the three words "Qifenglou", I burst into tears and quickly supported the bed to get up, but the alcohol was still not gone, and I was dizzy, so I tilted my body and fell down.
"Thank you for helping me for saving my life, but I don't have any money on me, and I don't know how to repay the girl." I suppressed my drunkenness and reluctantly expressed my words clearly.
Unexpectedly, the woman named Jing'er's body became soft and wrapped in my arms like a snake. Her laughter was sharp and harsh, "I don't want your money. What kind of person is sir? As long as you are willing to accompany me, I don't want anything."
I was anxious to push her away, but the harder I tried, the tighter she would wrap her around and she could not get rid of it.
At this moment, the door facing the bed opened, and Lu Qiao's figure appeared in the door. She was wearing a cloth jacket, her hair was frozen and frozen, hanging on her cheeks. She just looked at me, her eyes as if carrying the vicissitudes of thousands of years. After a long time, she finally smiled, but her voice seemed to float outside the sky, "I feel relieved when I see you are fine..."
"No, don't believe what you saw." I forced myself to stand up on the bed, but because my hands and feet were soft, I fell into her arms again by Jinger.
Lu Qiao didn't listen to my explanation, so she turned around and walked out, but her sleeve was hung by a raised wooden nail on the door, pulling her cuffs open to reveal the black cotton inside. Lu Qiao stayed there, either leaving or leaving. After a while, she squatted down and picked up the half of the sleeve and stuffed it into her arms.
Seeing this scene, Jing'er smiled so hard that she leaned back and forth. She finally gave up on me, "This girl, men are greedy for beauty. Look at yourself, like a village woman who has never seen the world. No wonder you, your pretty husband, come to me to find happiness."
Lu Qiao sneered, "Then I wish you happiness until you are old and until you die."
This is the last sentence I heard her say. This sentence is not despair, but deep disappointment. She gave up on me.
"What happened later? Didn't you go and chase Miss Lu Qiao back?" Liu Xuzhang stared at Hu Zhun tightly, as if he wanted to dig out the poor woman from his body.
"She's gone."
"Absent?"
"I forced myself to return home, but found that there was no one in the courtyard. I thought Lu Qiao must have been heartbroken, so I followed Zhang Dahu back, so I was completely disappointed and lay on the bed for a whole day. However, the next morning, Zhang Dahu came over angrily and asked me where Lu Qiao had gone. He said that Lu Qiao came back from Qifenglou and told him that he wanted to go back to pack up some things, and also broke up with me, but there was no news after he went there."
"So he thought it was you who killed Lu Qiao, so he came here from time to time to cause trouble?"
Hu Zhun smiled bitterly, "Making trouble? It would be fine if it was just that simple. He even reported to the government and brought a few yamen runners to turn me upside down, and almost uprooted the ancient tree."
"This is also too bullying. Your love for Lu Qiao is no less than that of him, a father. How can his sadness be vented to you? Your sadness is nothing." Liu Xuzhang sighed deeply, "But where did Miss Lu Qiao go? She is a weak woman and penniless, why did she disappear into the vast sea of people?"
Hu Zhun didn't say anything. He held the wooden comb in his hand tightly and embedded the comb's teeth deeply into the skin at his fingertips.
Jiang Xixi came to Yunhu Academy in the evening to pick Xun'er up and returned home. As soon as she turned into the alley, she saw Liu Xuling standing alone in the afterglow of the sunset, staring at the most burning clouds in the sky in a daze.
"Hey," she patted him from behind, "It's said that Lord Liu is a rich and idle person. Today I figured it out. You can even concentrate on enjoying the sunset." After saying this, she was also stunned for a moment. When did she be so casual about this fourth-rank official from the capital? Perhaps because of the always unscrupulous smile on his face, she ignored his identity.
"Miss Jiang joked again," he said, and changed into a familiar smile. "It was only when I heard a sad story today, so I felt a little moved. I saw the setting sun that was about to fall, and I couldn't help but feel sad again."
"Oh?" Jiang Xixi came forward, "What story? Whose story? Let's listen to it, Lord Liu."
Just as Liu Xuzhang was about to answer, Xun'er suddenly ran out of the academy and hugged Jiang Xixi, "Sister Xixi, a strange man came to the academy today. He not only scolded Mr. He also used an axe to cut off his desk table."
"There is such a thing?" Jiang Xixi was shocked, then looked up at Liu Xuzhang, "Is this the sad story you told?"
When he was about to reach Xin'an Mansion, Liu Xuzing's story was finished. He looked at Xun'er jumping in front of him and sighed suddenly, "It's better for a child, you're carefree and don't know what worries are."
Jiang Xixi covered her mouth and smiled, "Mr. Liu is different from Mr. Hu. Even though he is so old, he still looks innocent and has no worries."
Liu Xuzing looked at her seriously, "Maybe because my growth path has many bumps, so God is pitiful, so I am now free and carefree."
"Besides being pushed down from the tree by my cousin, Lord Liu has experienced other sufferings?"
"I'm not afraid of scaring the girl when I was a kid. When I was a kid, I almost became the robber's ghost under the knife."
"There is still such a thing?"
Liu Xuxiu was shocked when she was shocked, and smiled proudly, "Miss is ignorant. The town where I lived when I was a child is located in the border area. Bandits from foreign countries often come to invade. They rob property and women and run away. Often officers and soldiers come, and the bandits are no longer visible. The residents of the town are in sorrow that they can only bury valuable things into the cellar and remind the women at home not to go out easily day and night. In this way, the bandits came to the town several times and had no gains, and gradually, they stopped coming. As time passed, the residents of the town relaxed their vigilance and slowly forgot about the robbers."
