It has to be said that the life of a young lady in ancient times was very leisurely, but there was also a hint of boredom in the leisure.
Just read and write, eat and drink, and then go shopping. Her previous "good" work and rest habit of staying up until twelve o'clock before going to bed was forcibly changed after she came here.
There is a curfew in the city, so there is no such thing as going out to the night market at night. In addition, she has a homely personality, so she stayed at home for more than a month without going out, relying on a few story books she bought.
If you don't go out the door, you can't take two steps.
That day, Tong Yan was reading in the attic. When he got tired, he raised his head and looked into the distance to relax his eyes.
The sky was gloomy and a biting cold wind passed by. She tightened her coat unconsciously and looked calmly towards the water. She didn't know what she was thinking, but her eyes were not focused on what she was thinking.
After a while, Tong Yan suddenly stood up, and Tang Jue beside him hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Miss, if you need anything, I will bring it to you right away."
Tong Yan paused and said to her, "I want to go out."
Tang Ju asked in surprise, "Miss, where are you going? It's going to rain soon. If it's cold and the road is slippery when you go out at this time, you might as well go out another day."
Tong Yan couldn't refuse and said, "Give me the cloak and I'll leave now."
Tang Ju looked hesitant, but still tied the cloak on Tong Yan first, "Then slave girl, go ask Guard Li to prepare the carriage."
After putting on her clothes, Tong Yan ran downstairs in a hurry. Tang Ju followed behind and kept calling her worriedly to slow down.
The carriage wandered aimlessly on the street. Tangju watched his lady keep lifting the curtain to look out, and asked incomprehensibly: "Miss, what are you looking for? Just give me an order and let the slave help you search carefully."
"Stinky ditch, help me find a stinky ditch. There is a person lying in it!"
Tang Ju really couldn't understand why Tong Yan wanted to find a smelly ditch. There was nothing in such a dirty place that made a young lady run out in a hurry.
But she was a servant, so whatever the lady said, she should do as she was told. After learning what Tong Yan was looking for, she raised the curtain and went out, and looked for the smelly ditch together with Guard Li who was driving the carriage.
Tong Yan felt indescribably anxious and restless at the moment. She came out today just because of a pair of eyes that had always appeared in her dreams for the past month.
She could not clearly see who the owner of the eyes was, but she could only remember deeply the almost suffocating silence in those eyes.
The eyes are like abyss into which no light can shine, and the eyes are silent and uninterested in everything.
At this time, a light rain began to fall in the sky, and Tong Yan reached out to catch a handful.
Pedestrians on the road tightened their clothes and hurried home at a faster pace. Occasionally, someone would cast a glance at the luxury carriage driving on the road.
She raised her head and looked into the distance. On the second floor opposite, a man who had just poured the water turned around and returned to the house.
This scene seemed familiar, and it collided with some kind of memory. Tong Yan immediately shouted, "Stop!"
After hearing the order, Guard Li stopped as quickly as possible. When Tong Yan noticed that the carriage was slowing down, he immediately opened the curtain to get out. Tang Ju turned around and took the curtain.
"Miss."
Tong Yan pursed her lips tightly and got out of the carriage, looking around hurriedly, trying to catch what she wanted as soon as possible.
This is a slum area with small streets and many alleys. The streets are still messy and the water in the ditch has turned deep black and gives off an unpleasant odor.
Tangju quickly took out her umbrella from the carriage, opened it, and threw it over Tong Yan, blocking the rain and blocking the view from nearby residential areas.
Gu Yuqi lay in the dark and cold water, letting the cold raindrops fall on his face, but there was no reaction.
It wasn't that he didn't want to come out of the biting cold water, it was just that the weather was getting colder and colder, and he had a fever a few days ago because he had no clothes to keep out the cold.
How could he pay to see a doctor if he couldn't even eat enough? Besides, he had just been beaten, and now his whole body was in pain and weak.
Everything in front of him began to blur, and he thought that he was probably going to die.
In this world, no one cares about his life or death, even if he is dead.
In a daze, he heard a female body shouting, "Miss, don't go down there! It's very dirty and unsafe down there, be careful of slippery feet!"
As soon as this slippery word came out, Gu Yuqi felt like he had been kicked hard in the head.
Gu Yuqi:......
Tong Yan said that she really didn't mean it, but the embroidered shoes were not as slippery as sports shoes. The ditch road was too slippery, and no one could control the accident, right?
After finally getting up, half of her clothes were already dirty and smelly. At this time, Tang Ju and Li Weibei had already come down, one by one helping her steady.
"If you have something to do, miss, just give me your orders, why bother to come down in person?" Li Huwei said. He was tall, and the ditch at Tong Yan's thighs was only knee high to him.
Tong Yan was supported by Tang Ju and came to Gu Yuqi. Gu Yuqi was already dizzy, but after being kicked by her, he was almost unconscious.
The ghost of the oil-paper umbrella appeared above his sight, and using his last instinct of survival, he murmured in a low and hoarse voice.
"Save me."
It turned out that he didn't want to die, even if he was the only one left.
Save, save, of course, if she doesn’t save him, what is she doing here? The image of a person lying alone in a stinking ditch is imprinted in her mind like poison. If she doesn’t do anything, she will probably think about it for the rest of her life.
.
Tangju helped her back to the carriage first, and then Guard Li brought her up.
The carriage drove away again under the gaze of curious and envious people.
In the previous smelly ditch, an inconspicuous box was half buried in the mud, and no one found it.
After being brought back, Gu Yuqi was seen a doctor, given medicine, and recuperated for two days before Gu Yuqi regained consciousness slightly.
After the person woke up, Tong Yan only looked at it once, and then stayed in the room without coming out.
After going out on a rainy day, I got soaked in the rain and came back in half-wet clothes. After that, I recovered my health. After the wind blew, I also developed a low fever.
The nanny ordered her to be well before she could leave the yard again. She also strictly ordered the maids to take good care of her. If something happened again, they would be punished.
In this case, how could Tong Yan dare to go out so easily? She was fine, but it would be a big problem if she harmed others.
Two days later, Tangju suddenly came to her and said, "The little beggar has run away!"
Tong Yan was stunned, "Run away??!!"
She doesn't eat people here, nor does she kidnap or traffic them. She provides him with good food and drink, so there's nothing to escape from.
"When did you run away?" she asked.
"He must have left early this morning. He was so arrogant. Miss saved him anyway, and she didn't even say thank you or say goodbye. She just ran away without saying a word. What's the point!" Tang Ju was indignant.
Tong Yan drank hot tea and said nothing. He looked at the wet ground in the yard and didn't know what he was thinking.
After a while, she whispered, "Just leave, don't worry about him."
She took action when it was time to take action, and the eyes in the dream had disappeared. In this case, others didn't care about her, and she didn't have to keep them.
