Chapter 28 Lost on the Path
The pattern of the wood was very similar to the wooden knife that Li Yan gave her. Even the texture was exactly the same, and it was completely different from the one made by the same person.
But she didn't rule out the possibility that it was their residence. After all, she had never seen Li Yan make wood carvings.
Fu Yao turned her eyes and fell on the bookshelf next to her.
They are not as exquisite as those in the imperial palace. The bookshelves are simply made of bamboo and wood, and in some places they are even tied together with hemp ropes, but overall they are quite elegant.
The books on the shelf are very old, and the volumes are a bit thick from being thumbed through.
Fu Yao pulled out a book with her legs, which contained a political strategy theory that she could not understand at all. She took out another book, which contained a political strategy theory that she could not understand at all.
hiss……
It was true that she really didn't recognize Li Yan's room.
A room full of books is either about politics or about history and people's livelihood and economics. It's simply boring.
Fu Yao didn't know how long she wanted to stay there, and walked around in a circle boredly. Children's ability to discover strange things has always been far superior to adults. Although Fu Yao is an adult, he seems to have retained that trait.
She discovered that a small wooden box was finally stuffed into a gap in the easternmost part of the bookshelf.
Fu Yao's eyes lit up. She ran outside the house to find Eunuch Hai and asked, "Did he touch this thing?"
Hai Buyi was stunned for two seconds: "Does your Majesty mean that?"
Fu Yao tried his best to explain: "Can things be touched?"
"...Things?" Hai Buqi suddenly realized, "Your Majesty, can you tell me about the things in that house? Of course, the emperor has not specifically asked not to do so, and the small courtyard belongs to the emperor. Are you the empress?
You can watch anything.”
It really is not Li Yan’s yard.
Like a child who guessed the wrong answer, Fu Yao instantly became happy, nodded happily, turned around and swam around the yard.
Eunuch Hai was stunned and confused.
Is the Queen happy about anything?
After getting the confirmation, Fu Yao immediately pulled out the wooden box, which was already covered with dust.
She didn't mind it being dirty, so she couldn't wait to open it, but there were some books inside.
...That guy, does he like reading so much?
Fu Yao randomly pulled out a volume and opened it, her pupils trembling slightly.
The book contains a detailed record of a set of knife skills, including practice tips and even insights in the first few pages.
Although the font used to write the experience is a bit raw and immature, it can be seen that the author has a lot of edge.
——Fu Li Ming’s words.
She flipped through two more volumes and found that the one at the bottom was half torn.
Apart from that, there is nothing else in the wooden box.
Fu Yao couldn't figure out why, so he put the things back.
She found a place to walk, looking around boredly, and couldn't help but wonder what Li Yan would do at that time.
...but he wouldn't let her pass.
Fu Yao pursed her lips and saw that someone had brought food to her. She had no appetite, so she ate a little casually and wanted to go out for a walk.
It was already dusk at this time, and Fu Yao saw Eunuch Hai and the others having a meal in the room next to them, so he didn't bother them and walked out through the backyard door.
There are many flowers and plants in the villa, many of which are not visible outside the palace. And because it is surrounded by taller peaks, even though it is not on the top of the mountain, there is a lot of warmth.
The peach blossoms outside the forbidden palace have just opened their buds, and they are already brilliant there.
The dim light of the falling moon shone on the bamboo forest path. Fu Yao turned his eyes and suddenly spotted a gray rabbit in front of him.
Are there many rabbits there?
Li Yan likes little rabbits so much, why don't you catch them and show them to him?
Fu Yao immediately stepped lightly and approached a little bit. Just as he was about to get up and pounce, the rabbit jumped behind the grass.
She chased after him again, but free-range rabbits are not so easy to catch. Fu Yao lived in the palace all year round, and his body sensitivity was always very different, so he never got close to him several times.
A moment further east, the rabbit suddenly ran away and disappeared.
The forest wind was rustling around her, and Fu Yao sighed helplessly, stood up and raised her head, her eyes gradually becoming confused.
Everything around her was a familiar sight. It was already dark, and she could see some taunting lights in the distance through the gaps in the bamboo forest.
Then...where?
Fu Yao dragged her long skirt through the forest, unable to tell where she was, let alone which way she came from.
The villa was much larger than she had imagined, but there weren't many people living there, or almost none. She hadn't seen anyone there the whole way there.
The surroundings gradually became dark, and the forest wind gradually became biting. She pursed her lips, feeling a little annoyed at her reckless behavior.
The experience she had accumulated after living two lives in this world told her that the best way at this moment was to go to the light, find someone, tell him her identity, and let him help her return to Li Shi's courtyard.
That was the only good way she could think of because of her poor brain.
There were no walls around the villa, so she was probably in a deserted forest outside, with no good roads around.
Just now, she was following the rabbit unconsciously and didn't realize how difficult the road was. It was all in the dark, so Fu Yao accidentally fell down.
She had no choice but to get up, slurped the dry leaves in her mouth, and continued to hold up her skirt and slurp on it.
The chill was getting thicker, but fortunately the lights in front of her were getting closer and closer. She walked to the side and suddenly heard some strange sounds.
It was as if something broke through the air, made a hissing sound, and then ended dullly on some object.
One thing after another, very regular, it makes people feel trembling.
But even if there were lights around, it was still some distance away, and she wasn't sure if there was a manor on that mountain.
It's hard to tell whether I want to go to another place.
Fu Yao made up her mind and decided to go in and have a look.
She walked around the wall to the front door, took a breath, raised her leg and knocked on the door.
The sound outside the house suddenly stopped.
After waiting for a while, when no one came to open the door, Fu Yao knocked again.
She has been surrounded by a bunch of maids since she was a child. She has never done anything like knocking on the door of a strange place in the early morning. She doesn't know what to say, so she can just wait outside in silence.
After a while, the door creaked and someone opened it from the inside.
Fu Yao was dumbfounded on the spot.
—·——
Three hours ago.
After Li Yan waited for Eunuch Hai to take Fu Yao away, he took off his robe and knelt down to Wei Youfang: "Master."
There was no emotion in Wei Youfang's eyes: "Hey, let's not talk about it there."
The wind picked up a few more fallen leaves. When Li Shi saw Wei Youfang weighing the broom, he took the initiative and said, "Let him sweep it."
"Don't be impatient," Wei Youfang raised his head and looked at the moonlight shining in the east between the trees. "There are fallen leaves all the time. If I ask you to sweep the fallen leaves with a broom, you will never be able to sweep them clean."
Li Yan was silent: "If this is the case, he will cut down all the trees."
"Hahaha," Wei Youfang actually laughed, "I am really the first person to dare to insist on wrong ideas in front of him so stubbornly for several years in a row."
"At least the consequences you expected didn't happen." Li Min didn't get up from his knees. He was as tall as Wei Youfang. He looked at him levelly. Although he didn't mean any disrespect, his sharp edge was not restrained. "It's like a traitor is in power.
, is that the most efficient way.”
