52, sleepless night(1/2)
"Hidden tent" 53
As he finished speaking, a "whip" sound came from the mountains, one after another, one near and one far away, which seemed particularly creepy in the quiet night.
When he was sinking, he stood still and looked out of the cave.
Two bright pearls hung under their eyelashes, and forgot to blink, pursed their lips and swallowed their saliva.
Lu Jiuxiao raised his eyebrows, and was so embarrassed that she couldn't help but curl her lips. He then lowered his smile and pretended to be deep and said, "Tell me, I'll tell you not to cry."
Chen Shishi wiped his tears, and his pink nose twitched slightly. Speaking of which, she was not the one who was so pretentious that she could cry when she saw a bug. She was really worried recently and was not distracted. In addition, the good night of the Dragon Boat Festival has fallen to this point...
All the reasons made the river of tears collapse.
Now that she recovered, she glanced at Lu Jiuxiao with guilt, intending to get up from his legs, and whispered: "I understand."
Halfway through the movement, my waist was tightly shackled.
She raised her head in surprise and looked at the person in front of her in confusion.
Looking at each other, Lu Jiuxiao looked at the red eyes and nose, and pursed his thin lips gently, "After going back, I'll let you go home. Half a day, half a day I'll ask Yun Xiu to pick you up."
Chen Shifeng's eyes widened and he blinked in disbelief twice, "Criminal?"
"You come to Jinzhou with me and your life is almost lost. Isn't you just want to go back and take a look, thinking I don't know?" He moved his eyes disdainfully.
Upon hearing this, the little girl was silent for a long time, and was speechless for a while.
She was indeed thinking this way, but since she met Sun in the Japanese Yen Mingxiang, she suddenly stopped thinking about it.
It seemed that she was really open at that moment. For the Shen family, she was the extra one. With her, Chen Wang would become a despicable person who sold her sister to pay off her debts. The lies Sun told the bride Yang would also be revealed. At that time, it was impossible to make a mess and make a house uneasy...
She didn't want to generously tolerate others' peace. God knows that she always wants to rush to Sun and point at her to question her hard, but as soon as she thinks of that scene, a deep face will appear in front of her.
Such a loving face...
He has protected his home for half his life, how could she bear to destroy it?
So she lowered her eyes and said, "Thank you, the prince, no need."
Lu Jiuxiao frowned, "Why?"
"My mother won't want me to go back."
Hearing this, Lu Jiuxiao glanced at her, "If she doesn't want you to go back, you really won't take it back? Then, if you leave me, where are you going? Looking for the one named Zhou?"
Chen Shishi looked at him in horror, and after a long time he realized who he said was the so-called "Zhou" and raised his breath and said, "What did the prince say? I will not starve to death if I have hands and feet. What do I have to do with Master Zhou?"
What she said is right. The people of Li are open-minded and even women can make a living outside. But why does it have nothing to do with the surname Zhou?
Lu Jiuxiao took the opportunity to sarcastically: "I have heard you call him his name in your dream."
Chen Shiqi glared, clenched his skirt tightly, and whispered, "It's not that way", and then hurriedly turned to the side, but was pressed by Lu Jiuxiao's shoulders. The man raised his chin high, "Where is that?"
Chen Shifeng's lips were tense, obviously he didn't want to say it, but he couldn't resist Lu Jiuxiao's urge to look at him tightly, so he had to say it to him in a few words.
In fact, it was not a big deal. It was about last summer. One night, she broke a treasured incense burner from Sun, and she couldn't help but scolded her. The little girl was wronged and secretly squatted in front of her house while there was no one at night and wiped her tears.
Just as Zhou Jie returned from his post, he must have drunk some wine with the yamen runners. He was drunk and couldn't walk steadily. He fell on the stone pillars. Seeing this, Shen Shizhi rushed forward and helped him.
Zhou Jie saw the person clearly and thanked her with her forearm, but his hand was not relaxed. Chen Shizhe immediately became a little anxious and pushed him hard, "Official Zhou, let go of your hand, I'll go to your house and ask someone to help you."
But Zhou Jie not only did not let go, but also hugged her in his arms.
Ye Chen Shizi was frightened and tried his best to push him away. The drunken person was pushed to the ground by her and immediately woke up. He looked at her red eyes and apologized repeatedly.
But how could she be so concerned about a drunk person? She had to turn the story awkwardly.
However, after that, she deliberately avoided Zhou Jie, and Zhou Jie helped the Shen family as much as possible because of this, which made Sun get a lot of advantages.
Last time I saw Zhou Jie at the government office, she had this dream at night. In the dream, Zhou Jie was hugging her in his arms. She was pushing her away hard, but she was pinched to wake her up.
Upon hearing this, Lu Jiuxiao looked at her, "That's it?"
The little girl nodded seriously.
The man picked up a strand of her black hair, circled her fingers, and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.
But who do you lie to me when you are drunk? Men know men best. With such a beautiful girl, how can he not know what the person surnamed Zhou is thinking?
He said, "Stay away from him, I don't think he looks like a good person."
Chen Shishi looked at him slowly.
Seeing that no one replied, he frowned and said, "Did you hear it?"
She pursed her lips, "…heard it."
After a moment, she turned to the side. A scent of fragrance floated from the bonfire. After they were full, they cleaned their hands in the flowing stream and sat back to the fire again.
Soon, the mountain wind blew, and the sunken Shishi could not withstand the sleepiness and fell into a dream against the bumpy earth wall.
Lu Jiuxiao threw two pieces of firewood into the fire, stared sideways, half holding her neck, and leaned the little head against his left arm.
Late at night, Chen Shifeng was awakened by the howling of wolves everywhere. When he woke up, he found himself lying on a pile of hay with a thin shirt covering his body. The one she had just taken off, had already been dried up.
She moved her head and saw a figure sitting at the entrance of the hole.
Lu Jiuxiao sat with his legs bent, playing with sharp arrows in his hand, and there was a bow and crossbow on the side.
Is he going to just sit overnight?
Chen Shishi looked at the straight back, and couldn't tell what he felt in his heart.
She was surprised by the surviving ability of a young man like Lu Jiuxiao in this broken wilderness. She looked like, but not like, the person who snuggled in the lewd, Ci Yanqu.
And she had to admit that in this current situation, the man who played with bows and arrows, made her feel extremely at ease.
Chen Shizi slowly loosened his tight palms and closed his eyes.
------------
The fish belly was exposed in the sky, and the sunken scepter was awakened by the sound of horse hooves.
As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Lu Jiuxiao dressed neatly and said, "Put on the clothes, Yin Zhong and Qin Yi are here."
Shen Shi was happy, his sleepiness suddenly dissipated, and he cleaned up in a few seconds. He limped and followed Lu Jiuxiao.
It was really not easy for Yin Zhong and Qin Yi to search for two people all over the mountains, but it was still easy for Lu Jiuxiao to touch them along the movement, so he quickly touched his head.
The two guards rushed up and gasped, "Master, are you okay?"
Lu Jiuxiao glanced at the two of them lazily, "I can't die, where is the carriage?"
“Stop in front.”
Lu Jiuxiao nodded and went forward.
Yunxiu came late. Seeing Chen Shizhe limping, he rushed forward and said in surprise: "Miss Chen! What's wrong with your legs? Is it painful? Is it severe? "
Chen Shishi shook his head and said it for a while, Yun Xiu was relieved.
Yin Zhongzheng and Lu Jiuxiao found clues, but they saw that he was trying hard to glance back at Yu Guang. Yin Zhong paused, "Master?"
Lu Jiuxiao turned around and said impatiently: "Who asked you to park the carriage so far? Just don't drive here and let me walk back."
After looking at his unstraight feet when he looked at him, Yin Zhongmo agreed to the wrong one.
"Okay, keep going." He said coldly.
"I followed the teahouse and found that the teahouse was recorded under the Lan family's name, and few people knew about it."
Lan is the granddaughter of the prefect Qin Bin and the concubine of Li Qing.
Lu Jiuxiao guessed it almost completely, but these were nothing more important. He said, "You send a letter and let He Lin go to Chazhailu Temple."
Yin Zhong was stunned, "Zhailu Temple?"
His only understanding of this temple was from Li Er. The prince asked him to send Li Er's letter to the priest in the government office to the priest, which made the priest angry, causing Duke Li to send Li Er to Zhailu Temple to imprison him, which was called self-cultivation and character cultivation.
Since then, Kyoto has lost the cancer of Li Er, and has stopped a lot of it.
Yin Zhong lowered his voice, "Master, is the silver from the mine being transported to Zhailu Temple?"
"I guess. This road only leads to Aicheng. Zhailu Temple happened to be built in Aicheng, and Li Er was imprisoned in Zhailu Temple. How could there be so many coincidences?"
Moreover, the Li family's son was banned here, so the Li family could often go to Zhailu Temple, which was justified and not easily suspicious.
Thinking of this, even the matter of Duke Li sending Li Er to Zhailu Temple was arranged in advance.
Soon, Lu Jiuxiao and Chen Shiqi boarded the carriage.
After being trapped all night, Chen Shifeng took a pot of tea as soon as he sat down, and handed it to Lu Jiuxiao a cup.
Seeing the person in front of me leaning on the couch, his face full of tiredness, but still his eyes open.
She thought about it and moved the cup of tea back.
Lu Jiuxiao paused and glanced at her, "What are you doing?"
"I have insomnia when I drink tea and the prince has not slept all night, so I'd better take a rest." She said sincerely.
Looking at each other, Lu Jiuxiao almost paused, and then his spine became straightened a little unconsciously.
He raised his eyes and said, "Why did I not sleep all night? I slept well. If it weren't for the loud sound of the horse's hooves, I would still be asleep."
