"Okay, okay, what are you whispering about?" Yan Zhiru came to the two of them at some point, and when she saw their mysterious appearance, she felt disgusted. She was obviously the daughter of a poor Taoist priest, why were they pretending to be delicate?
"Yan Zhiru, aren't you with Chen Qiaoxin and those people and disdain to be with us? Why are you here again?" Yan Zhifei would think of a conspiracy every time he saw her and felt very uncomfortable. Not being a good sister,
The relationship must be so tense.
Yan Zhiru was choked and blushed with embarrassment, but when she saw the jade bracelet on Situ Qingqing's wrist, her face returned to disdain, and she snorted with jealousy: "Do you think I want to come over? You
I didn’t realize there were two missing people around me! I just saw Zhihui leading Zhilan towards the woods to the west.”
"What?! Aren't men going to the woods to the west?! What are they doing there?!"
There is a patch of white plum planted over there, and the fallen plum blossoms are the same color in the snow. It is completely indistinguishable whether you are enjoying the plum blossoms or the snow.
"I have fulfilled my duty to inform you. You are the oldest among us, so you have to take responsibility." Yan Zhiru raised her nostrils even as she spoke, looking arrogant.
"I'll go find them..." Yan Zhifei was about to leave when his arm was pulled.
"Don't go."
"Let go, why don't you let me find someone? It would be terrible if they meet their foreign men. It would be detrimental to their maiden names!"
Yan Zhiru, who spoke plausibly, pointed at Situ Qingqing arrogantly and said: "Let her go. No one in the capital knows her. If something happens to her, she can still run back to the house and hide. After three to five months, everyone will
You will forget it, but you can't. No one at the emperor's feet knows that you are the granddaughter of the Prime Minister. If your reputation is stained, our girls in the Prime Minister's Palace will also be ruined."
"Yan Zhiru, can you...can you not be too selfish? Can cousin Qingqing's honor be ignored?"
"Cousin Zhifei, Cousin Zhiru is right. I'm a stranger. I can just make up any excuse to get over it. For example, I took the wrong road, and I didn't know that the plum forest is divided into east garden, west garden, etc. I'm more convenient than you, so nothing will happen.
." Situ Qingqingtian's habit of not being afraid of the earth and the ground was repeated again, and he didn't take it seriously at all.
"Qingqing..." Yan Zhifei couldn't pass the test of conscience. Before leaving the house, she promised her grandmother that she would take good care of her ignorant cousin.
Raising his hand, Situ Qingqing moved closer to her chest and said confidently: "I'll be back soon, wait for me."
"You...what did you do to me?" Yan Zhifei's eyes widened nervously, why couldn't she move?
"Acupuncture, my father taught me." Situ Qingqing smiled and stuck out her tongue.
My uncle can even do acupuncture?!
Yan Zhifei felt like crying but had no tears. She could only move her upper body, but her legs seemed to be rooted, unable to move.
Situ Qingqing quickly disappeared into a forest of red plum trees. Her movements were as fast as thunder. In a few phantom steps, she arrived at the Jingxin Lake connecting the East Garden and the West Garden. The lakeshore was surrounded by hundreds of kilograms of water.
The huge rocks are staggered and overlap each other. There is a path for people to pass between the rocks, which can hide people.
There is a pavilion in the middle of the lake. There are winding bridges on both sides of the pavilion. The fastest way from the East Garden to the West Garden is walking across the winding bridge. If you want to take another winding path, you have to go around half of the lake. In terms of a woman's walking distance, it takes half a mile longer.
hour.
But for Situ Qingqing, who has extraordinary light skills, it doesn't make any difference whether she takes a detour or not. It just depends on which side she likes and decides where to go.
Now, she wants to cross the bridge.
"Ah...my lady fainted."
Suddenly, a girl who looked like a maid shouted.
It's none of my business if your lady faints. Although I'm a medical student, it doesn't mean that everyone can save her. The eyelids of the lady who is said to have fainted are constantly moving. That's fake coma! Think of others as having no brains.
Talents are truly brainless people, extremely stupid.
Situ Qingqing turned a blind eye and walked quickly past the young lady with four or five maids. There were so many maids surrounding them and they still didn't save anyone. Are they here to be young ladies? She didn't want to do bad things with good intentions and waste them.
"Hey! Why don't you save me? You have such a bad heart..."
Suddenly she felt a foreign object coming from beside her, and Situ Qingqing's self-preservation instinct kicked in. Her father had trained her well to dodge at the first sign of trouble.
And then...a plop.
"The young lady fell into the water..." All the maids' faces instantly turned pale, their lips trembled, and they were so frightened that they could not speak fully.
"Yes, I saw it, with graceful posture..."
Splashing the water... Situ Qingqing cursed.
A woman in red, wearing a silk gauze, fluttered on the water, and drank several sips of the lake water. Before she could say the word "help", her body sank again. Her skirt was embroidered with hibiscus flowers.
Floating and spreading on the lake, it was dazzlingly red.
For example, Situ Qingqing, who was watching a play, was very comfortable comparing the height of the railings of the curved bridge. He couldn't help but be amazed that a good person could actually climb over the railings and fall into the lake.
"You... why don't you go down and save people..." A maid with a face as white as paper shouted arrogantly, and reached out to push Situ Qingqing into the water.
Situ Qingqing glanced at the depth of the water, shivered unexpectedly, and said: "You are too strong to make things difficult for others. I can't swim. Do you want me to die?"
What a joke! She's not stupid and doesn't do stupid things.
The maid yelled fiercely: "I don't care if you know how to swim, just get in there. If there is something wrong with our young lady, Chen Guogong's mansion will not let you go. Just wait and pay for it with your life."
!”
"It's so funny. I didn't push her down. Besides, are you dead? You saw your master falling into the water and you refused to save him. The lake is so cold in the cold weather. If a girl who has not given birth has been soaked in the cold lake for too long,
It will cause the problem of palace cold, which may affect the future..."
Want to harm her? Put bright spots on your eyes.
"Gong Han?!" The maids looked at each other, and then their faces became panicked. They anxiously walked up and down the curved bridge, looking for something to save their young lady.
"Do you need help?" After watching enough of the show and losing his temper, Situ Qingqing put on a compassionate face and asked.
"Of course! It's all your fault. If you didn't avoid it, my young lady wouldn't have fallen..."
Wu... She is dead, miss. Madam will never let her go. She failed to protect the young lady... Wu...
Situ Qingqing rolled her eyes angrily.
In the situation just now, if the other party doesn't go down, I will go down. Since she is a young lady from the Duke's mansion, I naturally have to be polite.
She smiled slyly: "Saving someone's life is a meritorious deed, so I'll save it!"
Several maids nodded vigorously and urged her to hurry up and save people.
Taking a deep breath, Situ Qingqing yelled with all her strength: "Help... someone is coming... the lady from Duke Chen's mansion has jumped into the lake, please rescue her... Ah! Ah! She's sinking again,
Some kind-hearted young master, please come and save her life. She is dying...It's bubbling, it's bubbling..."
Chen Qiaoxin, who was struggling in the water, heard the shouts and really wanted to die.
This man was yelling like this, and her reputation was gone. People who didn't know it thought she committed suicide by throwing herself into a lake. If she was touched by a man again...
She really wanted to die, but she was reluctant to die before she died. There was someone behind her who lifted her up, and she hugged that person tightly like a piece of driftwood.
"Whoever dares to make a sneak attack will be killed -"
The hidden weapon came out, which was a row of silver needles used for acupuncture, nailed to the rough pine tree trunk.
"It's me." A cold male voice said.
Who knows who you are? She, Situ Qingqing, has been traveling around the world for many years... No, she is a little Taoist who has been catching ghosts and exterminating demons since she was a child. No one dares to attack her from behind.
After being pulled behind a high stone, she prepared to use her ultimate trick - acupuncture.
But as soon as she raised her hand, a big, calloused hand wrapped around her poor and helpless fingers, and at the same time, she heard a soft sigh that sounded like a smile but also helpless in her ears.
Situ Qingqing looked up and said in surprise: "Hey! Why is it you?"
The visitor was clearly Ouyang Sufeng.
"Are you still alive?" Ouyang Sufeng's dark eyes were full of indescribable excitement, as if he couldn't believe the scene before him.
It's really her! She's still alive!
Upon hearing this, she frowned in displeasure: "We haven't seen each other for two or three months, and you cursed me when we met. Don't you think I'm a ghost?"
"I went back to look for you, but I saw that the bamboo house was burned down, leaving only a piece of scorched earth."
At that time, his hands and feet were so panicked that he could hardly stand due to the strong heartache that struck him instantly. There was a faint fishy smell in his mouth. The pain in his chest made him realize that the little girl who was a little bit of a treacherous and evil person was to him.
The difference is that he already has her in his heart, so deeply... and so heavily.
Then he did something that was impossible to do in his life. He turned over the shapeless charred objects with his bare hands, trying to find the corpses. Even if the people were gone, he had to let them bury them in peace. This was the only thing he could do for them.
