Before Xie Langhua could finish his words, he was interrupted by Xie Yuncang who had just come in, "Okay, you don't have to worry about family matters. You can postpone the exam questions for two days and ask them everywhere. There is no need to be particular now.
There are so many rules, so go back and have a good rest first!"
He didn't even eat the dinner prepared by the old lady, let alone eat moon cakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Xie Langhua did not dare to ask about Xie Shuhua. He was surrounded by others and left with the care of the elders. But before stepping out, Xie Songhua saw his eyes wandering around her.
Is this person still thinking about asking him to intercede with Xie Shuhua?
But Xie Songhua was fearless. After all, it was impossible for him to arrange for someone to keep an eye on her these days. Who knows if he went to see Xie Yuncang? But Xie Yuncang dismissed her without asking.
The Mid-Autumn Festival in the mansion was deserted, and the spring banquet stage was also less crowded than usual.
After all, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Xie Songhua asked them to choose whether they wanted to go home for the festival. If they didn't go back, they would get a reward.
Fortunately, I had some medical treatment for people at the Jingxin Hall some time ago and received some medical fees. Although it was not much, I could at least subsidize some daily expenses.
Of course, the premise is that she decides to collect the wool and go to Tianbaodang to get the medicine.
Only Dingxiang and two third-class maids had no relatives in the house, so only the three of them were watching at the moment.
Xie Songhua didn't need them to wait on him, so he simply went into the house early, took advantage of the silence to practice calligraphy for a while, and let the three of them eat moon cakes and talk.
They are still underage girls, and it is rare for them to have time to relax.
This practice lasted for more than half an hour. I only put down the pen when I felt that my hands were really sore.
As soon as I raised my eyes, I saw a big and round moon outside the window, shining like jade in the clean night sky.
Xie Songhua was stunned for a moment. In the city where she lived in her previous life, there were many lights on the streets even at midnight. She had almost never seen such beautiful moonlight.
It was the Mid-Autumn Festival after all, and even if Xie Songhua looked at the moon like this, he would inevitably have ups and downs in his thoughts.
I wonder if in that world, if she passed away so suddenly, would anyone think of me during the full moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival?
She grew up in the hospital, and the director's mother took her in and became her guardian.
But in those years, the situation at home of the dean's mother was not very good. One son was born with poor health, her husband later became ill again, and there were two elderly people to support. Even if he had good intentions for her, he would inevitably make mistakes.
Therefore, she spent some Mid-Autumn Festival alone in the hospital garden looking at the moon.
Later, when I grew up and studied abroad, I just wanted to get ahead in college and support myself. As for every Mid-Autumn Festival, I almost worked a part-time job. After all, on this day, my salary can be higher than usual.
Looking back on his previous life, Xie Songhua suddenly discovered that in that world, he could actually come and go naked without any worries.
In fact, this is okay, after all, she is Xie Songhua here now, and she can't go back.
The past life... seemed like a dream.
"Missing home?"
When Yu Ruzhuo's voice appeared on such a night, it seemed as if it had been washed by the moonlight, giving it an extra clear feeling for no reason.
She suddenly realized that strictly speaking, she was not celebrating the holiday alone this time.
There is a lonely ghost next to him. No, I should say, there are two lonely ghosts in the room.
Xie Songhua's slightly emo mood was immediately cured. She did not answer the question, but asked: "What about you? Are you homesick?"
Yu Ruzhuo didn't answer her, and the room fell into silence again. The night breeze from outside blew in, bringing a cool breeze with a bit of autumn flavor.
Although he couldn't see the other person, Xie Songhua seemed to be able to feel that he was next to him.
This touch of soul from a foreign land actually made her feel somewhat comforted.
Xie Songhua looked at the full moon in the sky and then at the small courtyard shrouded in moonlight. She suddenly felt something in her heart. She said softly: "I have found my own home. Even though it is not very good, I have a new home because of it."
Gen, I hope you can go home soon."
Yu Ruzhuo was silent for a while, his voice was light and his emotions could not be heard, "I will."
During this period of time together, Xie Songhua's impression of Yu Ruzhuo has improved a lot. After all, he has indeed helped him a lot.
She raised her hand and looked at the ring on her ring finger against the moonlight. She was full of confidence and said, "I will bring you those books as soon as possible. I hope I can find news about this jade, and maybe you can find it back."
There is a way.”
"Wait a minute!" Yu Ruzhuo suddenly said, with a rare urgency in his tone.
"What's wrong?" Xie Songhua was startled by him.
"You..." He hesitated for a moment before continuing, "Can you put a drop of your blood on the ring?"
Xie Songhua was puzzled and looked into the void doubtfully, but he still found the bamboo basket that Aunt Lan used to do needlework, took a needle and pricked his finger, and dripped blood on the ring.
Then she heard a muffled hum, almost close to her ears, which was completely different from the voice she heard from him before.
The moment Xie Songhua turned her face, she suddenly stood up with a start, because she saw a layer of faint gray shadow on the ground under the light.
Goosebumps covered her skin almost immediately, and she got under the table at lightning speed, not daring to look over there at all, and it took a lot of effort to control herself not to make a sound.
Suddenly, it was as if all the sounds in the room had been sucked away, and it was so quiet that Xie Songhua could only hear his own heartbeat.
Boom, boom, boom!
Every sound seemed to be beating against my own eardrums.
It wasn't until this moment that Xie Songhua understood that fear of the unknown is a human instinct.
Even though she felt that she was very familiar with Yu Ruzhuo just now, it was only at this time that she realized that she was actually still afraid.
"Don't be afraid!"
Yu Ruzhuo's voice suddenly sounded, but it was so close!
But his voice was unusually gentle, like the hand stroking along the cat's fur, which effectively alleviated Xie Songhua's fear.
She slowly turned her head back, vaguely feeling that there seemed to be a haze in front of her eyes, as if someone had blocked a thin veil in front of her.
Xie Songhua stretched out his hand tremblingly, but didn't touch anything.
"I'm not a ghost."
This time there was a hint of smile in his voice, and it sounded somewhat similar to how he usually interacted.
"You...you won't bite my neck!"
It's really no wonder Xie Songhua thinks so. In the world she lives in, this kind of thing only exists in film and television novels. What's more, the moon is full and dripping with blood, which makes it a bit weird no matter how you look at it.
"What's going on in your head!"
Hearing this, Xie Songhua breathed a sigh of relief.
Because of Yu Ruzhuo's opening, she was relieved from the sudden fear and regained a familiar feeling.
She held on to the legs of the table and slowly crawled out. Only then did she realize that what she had just seen was a human figure.
The shadow of a man was just very faint, standing just like that on the ground.
Xie Songhua couldn't see his face clearly, or even any details on his body. He could only tell that he looked like a man, with a slender build and quite tall height.
"You...are Yu Ruzhuo?"
This was a nonsense question, and as expected, I heard the other party chuckle, "Besides me, who else do you support?"
Seeing that Xie Songhua was still in a daze, Yu Ruzhuo said: "I don't know what the principle is, but now it seems that someone is deliberately causing trouble. I'm afraid I will be trapped in the ring again. Go and do something for me.
."
His instructions were so natural that Xie Songhua couldn't refuse. To fight against unknown energy was to seek death.
All night long, her mind was filled with things, and she got up a little late the next morning. Fortunately, due to the holidays and Xie Langhua's absence, the Shen Si Museum took a ten-day holiday, and she still had time to finish it when she came back.
Make up for the morning homework.
As soon as I sat down, I noticed that there were some more things on the table.
