At that time, Zhen Rao had just learned some skills in the mountains. She was a very innocent little girl who had never seen many people except her parents, maids, and masters and brothers.
According to the original agreement, the day Zhen Rao met Ji was when she came down the mountain. Although Zhen Rao did not show her face during those days, anyone who had been with her for a long time could see her excitement and yearning for things down the mountain.
One day, it suddenly started raining on the mountain, thunder roared, and lightning pierced the sky, illuminating the whole house as if it were daytime. Zhen Rao was sleeping in a daze. When she turned over, another lightning just passed by, and a figure appeared in front of him at some unknown time.
Inside her room, Zhen Rao was suddenly startled, her eyes widened in fear, her mouth opened, but she was too surprised to make any sound.
"Is it the unknown grandpa?"
The villain's little face tightened, and he looked so serious that Zhen Rao's heart almost melted. It seemed that the remaining fear at the beginning had dissipated a lot, and he confirmed Su Jiu's question with a smile.
But before daylight came, Zhen Rao asked about the master. The master looked confused and said that he was drunk in the house at night and fell asleep.
This situation lasted for half a month until Zhen Rao came down the mountain.
"But, mother, why didn't you cooperate with the nameless grandpa? Maybe he was sleepwalking because he was drunk." Su Jiu didn't understand. Although the nameless grandpa was indeed scary in her mother's words, what she saw was
Wuming is different. Although he is crazy, he does not hurt himself.
"Master is very stubborn and unwilling to cooperate no matter what. However, after the second senior brother heard about this, he stood guard outside Master's house in the middle of the night. There were times when Master clearly didn't drink, but once he fell asleep, he would run to his mother's house.
House." After all, Zhen Rao is her daughter's family. Even though she is a master and apprentice, she is a little embarrassed when she mentions this matter.
Su Jiu nodded in understanding, touching her chin with her little fleshy hand, not knowing what she was thinking about.
Today, when she heard the news about him from Jiu'er's mouth, Zhen Rao felt complicated and full of emotions for a moment.
It's also thanks to his relatively strong receptive ability, otherwise this kid would have been caught and burned by others as a monster.
Don't ask Zhao Bao how he could see it from his expressionless face, he just saw it.
After spending so long with the villain, Zhen Rao discovered that Su Jiu is not like an ordinary three or four-year-old child who only knows how to play. On the contrary, she has her own ideas on many things and has a set of theories. At this time, she sees
Seeing Su Jiu's thinking, Zhen Rao didn't bother her, she just found it interesting.
Su Yijun laughed. Although his liver hurt from anger, the smile on his face never disappeared. His narrow eyes were filled with smiles. He turned around and saw Zhen Rao smiling the same way. His heart skipped a beat, "Rao'er."
"No! Why did you just..." Zhao Baogang wanted to stop him, but when he saw Jing Yi's hand under the gauze, it was as if someone had stuck his throat, and he couldn't say a word.
"I don't know, no, I don't know."
Jing Yi was stunned for a moment, as if someone had tapped his acupuncture points, and he seemed like an old man suffering from amnesia. He had to think about one thing for a long time, so long that Zhao Bao almost scratched the only exposed scalp. Jing Yi's
Then there was a reaction.
Now that I think about it, maybe it's really like Jiu'er said...
Jing Yi didn't break away, a trace of confusion flashed in his dull black eyes, "I don't know."
Jing Yi lowered his eyes. He could feel Zhao Bao's strength. Subconsciously, he should immediately throw away his hand and show a look of pain. If possible, he should even bleed a little. This would be more realistic.
More human.
Darling! Princess Ninth’s teeth are getting better and better these days!
Su Yijun was not angry at all. Instead, he pulled up the sleeves of the villain and wiped his face. He sat next to Zhen Rao. Seeing that Zhen Rao was not very interested, he gently stroked the side of her face with his fingertips, and then went around the back of her neck.
He squeezed it comfortingly and turned to look at the villain.
Su Yijun bent down, picked up the little man with a hook, put it on his arm and weighed it, "He's fat."
Zhen Rao sighed softly, "Maybe."
The heat was so intense that Zhao Bao stood under the sun for a while. He couldn't stand it any longer, so he found a shady place and supervised from a distance.
It has been a few months since I met the young man. In the past few months, he has been eating well, and he is not like the woman's family. He always feels uncomfortable for a few days a month, and his worries are gradually relieved.
I just thought it was a joke made by the young man.
Su Jiu braked suddenly, turned her head and looked at the house, then at Zhou Fu, and hooked her hand at Zhou Fu, "Eunuch Zhou, Jiu'er will take you to play in the Royal Garden!"
Su Jiu's eyes lit up, and she jumped into Su Yijun's arms with her short legs.
He looked like an adult trying to coax a child with candy.
Jing Yi looked sideways, his dark pupils reflected the image of Zhao Bao scratching his head and ears. He took out a piece of silk handkerchief from his sleeve, rubbed it tenderly with his fingertips that were so pale that there was no trace of blood, and then handed it to Zhao Bao.
Su Jiu:……
"Ninth Princess, please slow down."
Zhao Bao took it and was about to open it, but was held down by Jing Yi, "A gift."
Zhou Fu stood at the door and listened for a while, then saw Su Jiu running out of the house.
"A gift? For me?" Why does it sound more and more like a last words?
...Jing Yi didn't say anything, just looked at him.
In fact, after so many years, Zhen Rao is no longer the girl who didn't understand anything. Looking back on that rainy night, although that rainy night left a deep shadow on her, other than that, Master did not do any other extreme things.
It was a move, but she never went back for so many years because of this, leaving her master alone in the mountain for so long.
"Mother, is it possible that the unknown grandpa is sick?" Su Jiu raised her head and asked seriously.
"Xiao Jingzi, why are you here to scare me when you are not staying with the Ninth Princess?" Zhao Bao was irritated, and his tone became a little wandering, "No, how long has your hand been injured? Why hasn't it healed yet?
?What do the imperial doctors in the palace do for food?"
Su Yijun laughed, angry.
I don’t know why this year, but it’s already getting very hot even though it’s only May. I took out my summer clothes from the bottom of the box, but it’s still too hot. Especially when I walk under the bright sun, it doesn’t take a while for me to get hot.
Sweat, the inner clothes were suddenly wet with sweat, and stuck to the back, sticky.
"I don't know? How could you not know?" Zhao Bao randomly helped Jing Yi wrap up the gauze again and scratched his head with a headache. Seeing that his voice was too loud and attracted the attention of many young eunuchs, he deliberately lowered it.
"When did it start? It has been so long and no one has discovered it, right? Does the Ninth Princess know about this?"
Zhao Bao was so frightened that his heart stopped. He trembled all over and almost fell off the stone. "My dear mother! Xiao Jingzi, why are you so elusive? Where did you come from?" Zhao Bao said
I looked back and forth, and behind me was a dense bamboo forest. There would definitely be a sound when someone stepped on the fallen leaves. There were palace passages on both sides, and the dining room was directly in front of me. Did Jingyi float over?
The young man's hand was still wrapped with a layer of white gauze. He was sitting next to Zhao Bao, looking a little distressed.
"Actually, the Wuming Grandpa is very afraid of being alone." Su Jiu shook her head and said her analysis seriously, "I am very afraid that my mother will be alone after she comes down from the mountain. Does your mother know what happened to the Wuming Grandpa when he was young? Does the Wuming Grandpa have any
A daughter?"
Zhen Rao was stunned.
Zhao Bao hid under the shady tree and found a random rock to sit down. He was thinking of finding a big leaf to fan himself. When he turned his head, he suddenly met a pair of dark eyes, like those of a ghost. It was still broad daylight.
Damn it.
If he is alive, he is dead.
I don’t know when it started. No one discovered it. The Ninth Princess didn’t know about it.
"Dad! The homophone is going to deduct money!"
Hey!
Got it, it’s for the Ninth Princess.
"Because daddy is always busy." Su Jiu threw the blame to Su Yijun very politely and put her arms around his neck. "Daddy doesn't have time to spend time with mommy, so mommy is unhappy."
In this palace, he, Zhao Bao, has never seen any monsters or monsters. He considers himself not a good person. If the master he follows asks him to kill people, he will go without hesitation. Jing Yi has helped him so much and even saved his life.
His life, Zhao Bao, is not so unloyal. If it weren't for Jing Yi, Zhao Bao would have been gone long ago, let alone the deputy manager of the imperial kitchen now.
Zhou Fu heard this in his heart, and felt that the Ninth Princess was getting more and more quirky and adorable, so he was happily led away by Su Jiu.
But... why does he look like a human? Isn't he a human? A trace of doubt flashed in Jing Yi's eyes.
Zhao Bao took a few deep breaths and tried to calm down. He had long known that Jing Yi was unusual, but he didn't expect it to be so unusual. He never believed in ghosts and gods, but now Jing Yi sitting next to him didn't know what he was. Zhao Baodi
My first reaction was not fear, but racking my brains to think of how to solve the problem.
In the palace dining room, Zhao Baozheng was directing the young eunuchs to unload the boxes brought from the imperial dining room.
"What is this?" The silk handkerchief in front of me looks like it belongs to my daughter's family, and the stitches on it are twisted, and there is something embroidered on it. I don't know if it is a duck or a goose. Anyway, it is very ugly. There are bulges inside, so it must be a wrapping.
thing.
"Xiao Jingzi." Zhao Bao held Jing Yi's injured hand and used a little force. He observed Jing Yi's expression and saw that he was still as dull as before. His heart sank. Sure enough, as he expected, it was just as he expected.
Jingyi feels no pain at all now.
The answer was so concise and concise that Zhao Bao turned his head for a while before he understood Jing Yi's answer.
"What's wrong with your hand?" Zhao Bao was surprised, but he didn't have the slightest intention to report Jing Yi.
"Mother...why don't you smile?"
If he is not a human being, he should use 'disappear'.
"Why do adults like to say some disappointing things?" Su Jiu snorted a few times and bit Su Yijun's face, leaving two rows of teeth marks on the side of Su Yijun's face. Zhou Fu, who followed him in, was also bitten.
It was frightening to see.
Zhao Bao's pupils trembled and he subconsciously grabbed Jing Yi's hand, stopping him from completely taking off the gauze. He looked around fearfully and saw that the group of little eunuchs were still carrying the boxes obediently.
Noticing their actions, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"My mother is unfilial." Zhen Rao lowered her eyes, her tone filled with unspeakable guilt.
A deep voice suddenly sounded at the door. Su Yijun, wearing a bright yellow court dress, stepped into the house and asked with a low smile.
It wasn't that he wanted to be absent from work, it was the Ninth Princess's order. How could he, a slave, disobey his master's order? Zhou Fu thought.
Although I had an admiration for my master when I was young, he was not my real father. In addition, my master always had a straight face and was very serious when teaching, so I didn't dare to ask more questions.
"Why is mother unhappy?"
Seeing this, Zhou Fu immediately lowered his eyes, looking at his nose and his nose at his heart.
Speaking of the injured hand, the young man finally reacted. He lowered his eyes and looked at his bandaged hand, and slowly unwrapped his fingertips.
He didn't know why, but he always had a very bad premonition - Jing Yi was going to die.
**
"Be careful, these are porcelain specially sent by His Highness to the Ninth Princess. Don't break them!"
Su Jiu slipped out of Su Yijun's arms at the right time, and stayed away from the battlefield before Su Yijun could teach her a lesson. She ran behind the screen and stuck out her little head, "Daddy, please stay with your mother. Jiu'er won't disturb you anymore!"
As he spoke, he stuck out his tongue at the two of them and ran out of the house.
I saw that under the white gauze, the young man's hand seemed to have been stripped of flesh and blood, leaving only a thin layer of skin sticking to the bones. It looked extremely horrifying, and the originally injured part showed no signs of recovery at all.
There is only a black hole, and it seems to have a tendency to extend outward. It looks like a paper man accidentally got a cut. If it is not repaired, the wound will get bigger and bigger until it is completely torn and the skin and flesh are separated.
.
Just like those picture books describing ghosts and monsters, the ghosts finally fulfilled their wishes and then disappeared into the world.
Zhao Bao was about to push it into his arms, but was stopped by Jing Yi again.
"No, ancestor, what exactly do you want to do? Can you explain it once and for all?"
Zhao Bao had no choice but to let Jing Yi take away the silk handkerchief and replace it with another plain handkerchief. When changing it, Zhao Bao took a peek at it and saw that it was an exquisite box. He didn’t know what it was. Then Jing Yi followed
She stuffed the veil back into her arms like a treasure.
After Jing Yi finished doing this, he glanced at the palace road where he came from. As if he felt something, he stood up suddenly, as if a seventy or eighty-year-old man suddenly became dozens of years younger. That was because his memory had improved, and his legs and feet had improved.
He was also very smart, leaving only one sentence and walking quickly towards the intersection, as if there was his whole world there.
