Chapter Thirty-One
PS: Have you seen the monk's "The Great Official"? It's uploaded on the 17th. On the evening of the 16th, he told me that in one day, one start will be modified for the third time! Speaking of which, the third version and the first version I watched, it's not the boss. As expected, the beginning is carefully crafted^_^. By the way, you don't want to vote on weekends. Today's recommendation votes are much less than usual!!
Du Shiyi almost browsed the entire Songyang Temple, but still couldn't find Du Shisanniang. Finally, he suddenly thought of the thatched house under the Junji Peak. He asked the servant Taoist who was guarding the gate to confirm that the person had left. He hurriedly said goodbye to Song Fuzhen and rushed back. As he walked along the way, the sky was getting darker. When he turned into the familiar trail, it was almost completely dark around.
At this time, the slight light faintly from the bamboo forest seemed to be a guiding light. When he arrived in front of the fence, he saw the lights on in the thatched hut. The moment he pushed open the gate, he suddenly heard a barking of dogs. Then, someone seemed to have stumbled on his head in the shed, and then Tian Mo's voice came.
"Don't worry, it's the husband who is back!"
In front of the thatched hut, Zhuying watched Du Shiyi walk quickly, and hesitated for a moment before whispering when he came to him: "After I come back, I locked myself in the house."
"Well, thank you for your hard work." Du Shiyi nodded, pushed the door and entered the room, and whispered, "You are waiting outside, don't let people spy on the movement."
"My maid understand!"
Zhu Ying, who had always been called a casual one in front of the Du brother and sister, nodded vigorously. When Du Shiyi entered the room and closed the door, she immediately walked forward two steps, staring at the shed over there and the path outside.
After the renovation of the three huge rooms, the main seats in the center and the four guest seats on both sides were replaced by simple seats to short seats. The simple paper lattice fan originally used to divide the east room also turned into a plain carved wooden screen. At this moment, the lampstand in the bright room had been lit, but the east room was pitch black and there was no movement at all, as if the room was originally empty. After entering the door, Du Shiyi saw this scene, and then hesitated slightly, then turned straight to the east room. The bamboo bed next to the window that Du Shisanniang had slept with the past, but was lying at this moment a petite figure facing the wall was lying.
"Thirteen Niang."
He called out softly, and saw that the person was still moving, Du Shiyi simply turned around and sat down, and said with his back to the person above, "I was anxious just now in Songyang Temple, and I shouldn't have said that way. After all, if you hadn't been taking care of you day and night and seeking medical treatment for thousands of miles, maybe my brother would have died long ago and wouldn't have been the best day of lively life."
"Nonsense!" Although Du Shisanniang on the bed did not turn over, she couldn't help but blurt out two words. Then she realized that she had been sad and angry after she came back, but her brother's breath was close at hand. She wanted to continue to say a few angry words, but those sentences could not emerge from her mind, let alone then. She could only grit her teeth and simply stopped talking.
"Uncle Jiu is in Xiping, Xianzhou. I only have a sister like you, who depends on each other for life, so I am always afraid that you will fall into danger if you are not careful. But after hearing what Zhu Ying said, I realized that my Thirteenth Lady is not only rich, not arrogant, poor, but also extremely intelligent and persevering. I underestimated you. That's right, if it weren't for you, how could I delay those days like a living dead person? How could I send me thousands of miles from Jingzhao Mansion to Songshan? How could I kneel down in front of Songyang Temple and refuse to move even if it rains heavily?"
Du Shisanniang felt a violent tremor in her heart. The sadness and despair of facing her brother when she was seriously ill seemed to fill her whole body in an instant, and her eyes were completely blocked by tears. She realized that Du Shiyi's hand was gently pressed on her shoulders, and she didn't know how much effort she had used, so she finally gritted her teeth and said nothing.
"So, it's all bad for Brother. Even though you know that your blood is connected to your heart, your brothers and sisters are deeply in love, even if you are in a safe place, you will still be cruel to send you away. Even though you know that you are smart and clever, you will not ignore your help in front of Sun Taichong, and you will still blame you. Even though you know that you are not waiting for others to show kindness, and because of the golden and jade, you will only treat you as a child..."
"Brother, stop talking, stop talking..."
This time, before Du Shiyi finished speaking, he finally heard a low voice. The bamboo bed creaked twice, and Du Shisanniang, who had been facing away from outside, finally turned over, with tears on her face and eyes red. She supported her to sit up straight, and said in a choked voice: "Brother is right, it's me that's not good. I shouldn't have lost my temper in front of Gongsun everyone, and I shouldn't have run back secretly... It's me... It's me... It's me that I think my brother hates me and acts on my own, and I think my brother hates me in the way..."
Seeing Du Shisanniang talking about this, she suddenly burst into tears. Du Shiyi was stunned at first, and then quickly reached out to take her into her arms. Thinking about the fact that she had been copying books in the Lu family cottage these days, most of the senior brothers took good care of her. Although Du Shisanniang had Cui Jianxuan sent two servants here and the county office also took care of her, that kind of loneliness was different after all. She rarely came back and only took her to Dengfeng County for a walk. When she encountered something, she said something harshly. It was natural for the little girl to be unable to get along.
"It's okay, it's okay..." He gently stroked Du Shisanniang's back and comforted her for a while. Until Du Shisanniang's sob frequency gradually decreased, he let go of her and stuffed a piece of silk hand into her hand. Seeing the little girl turn around and rub her eyes and nose hard, after turning around, her eyes and nose were red. He smiled and gently rubbed her scattered hair. "Say anything in the future, don't run away like today, so that I can look for you everywhere in Songyang Temple. Later I realized that you had already run away from the gate with Zhuying."
"Brother..."
Du Shiyi looked at Du Shisanniang with a embarrassed face and then said, "I have also reflected on it. Studying is important, but if you always leave you behind for ten days and half a month, I am a brother who is too much. I can't just say this. When I go back tomorrow, I will tell Master Lu that I will come back to visit you every five days..."
"No, brother, don't, don't delay your studies for me!" Du Shisanniang almost shook her head into a rattle, and then held her brother's hand, "I just need my brother to be good, as long as my brother can have a bright future in the future, it doesn't matter. Brother has also said that I'm smart and clever, so I can take good care of myself!"
Du Shiyi took a deep breath and was about to show an unquestionable attitude when he suddenly heard a vague shout from outside, followed by another barking of dogs, as if mixed with Tian Mo's shouting. He stood up in surprise, and just opened the door in front of the door, he heard a familiar voice coming from the other side.
"Du Shijiu, you squeak, are you at home? If it weren't for the fourth senior brother, I would have almost fallen into the valley!"
It's Cui Jianxuan!
Du Shiyi, who was shocked, suddenly remembered that before he came out today, Pei Ning ordered to go and go back too early, and after encountering that series of things, he had long forgotten the order. He hurried out of the thatched cottage and said loudly: "At home and at home! Tian Mo, bring Cui Langjun and the others in!"
Without Du Shiyi's instructions, the servants of the Cui family who were helping to look at the thatched hut here naturally recognized the young master. In a moment, they comforted the barking dog and then welcomed the person in. They saw Cui Jianxuan holding a glass lamp in his hand, and behind him was the strong and burly Hou Xiao. When they saw him, Hou Xiao was fine, and Cui Jianxuan immediately rushed forward with a angrily.
"Du Shijiu, what's wrong with you? Once you are released, you will be gone. You will never come back after waiting. I thought something had happened to you, so I begged Brother Fourth to take me over!"
"Sorry, I'm sorry, today I took Shisanniang to the city market and then encountered some unexpected things."
Thinking that the two of them came over for themselves, and Cui Jianxuan had already exposed their most fear of darkness before, Du Shiyi was very guilty and quickly gave them to the house. Du Shisanniang personally presented two cups of water, and then retreated to the east room with Zhuying. Seeing Cui Jianxuan finishing the water in one breath, he immediately stared at him with extremely angry eyes. Du Shiyi had to explain the storm that happened in the market today in the original form. After he finished speaking, the fourth senior brother Hou Xiao frowned, and Cui Jianxuan was so angry that he slapped on the short couch where he was sitting.
"Damn it, it's so damn. If I had known that Gongsun everyone would come to Dengfeng County, I would have come out with you today!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Cui Jianxuan saw Hou Xiao coming and saw that he was unhappy in sight. Thinking that the fourth senior brother was dragging him down, otherwise he would have been frightened by the birds and wolf roaring halfway through, so he could not walk. He had to smile embarrassedly and cough, "But that Liu Zhuo is really hateful! Is he here to supervise the locust catch or the romance of the love!"
Speaking of locust hunting, Hou Xiao, who had always opposed this, frowned even deeper. However, thinking that it was the junior brother who cured his mentor's eyes, he opened his mouth and finally did not speak. At this time, Du Shiyi said: "Since this matter has been caused by me, Gongsun, everyone stayed in Songyang Temple for the past few days, I am not inconvenient to go back, so I would also ask the fourth senior brother to report to Master Lu."
"Okay." Hou Xiao's nature is not good at these complicated disputes, nodded and said, "I'll go back now."
"Although the fourth senior brother often walks on the mountain road, now that it is night, you can't see your five fingers on the mountain. Don't take risks!" Du Shiyi quickly grabbed Hou Xiao and said in a deep voice, "Although this thatched house is not spacious, it is more than enough to allow you to stay for one night. It's still time to go back tomorrow morning!"
"It's okay, junior brother, don't worry... I have followed my grandfather all day long since I was a child, and I am the best hunter in the four towns around the world!"
