Jiaohua

Chapter 351
After boiling the decoction again, Zaichun moved a bamboo stool and sat beside him.

Steward Chu went out to meet the so-called official. Not long after, she heard Steward Chu go upstairs, and when she came down again, Steward Chu led the official up.

Since the last attack, Chu Guanshi sent people to Wuxing to hire more than 30 strong men with first-class skills. With them, he would not be afraid of bad guys breaking in. However, Zai Chun's fear of those people Eliminated, the remaining fear of Zhao Ning is not less.

Zhao Ning has been recuperating in the room for the past few days, Zai Chun avoided seeing her, and she didn't send anyone to call her up.

But the eldest lady's injury will recover in the end, and when she comes out of the room, she will always meet.

What should she do?
Zaichun bowed his head, looked at his hands through the glass lamps in the corridor, and tears welled up again.

In the past few days, I have even thought about how great it would be if the eldest lady died directly...

The soup was finally ready, Zaichun asked a waiter to bring it up, and after washing up, she quietly went back to her bedroom.

It seems that the people from the government office next door haven't left yet, Zai Chun doesn't care about it, there are really too many people who have come to see the eldest lady in the past few days, even though it's night now, there are also people who came to look for it in the early morning of the previous few days.

She heard a few guys talking this morning, saying that none of the people who came to see the eldest lady came empty-handed, and they sent boxes of gifts and tonics one after another. There are many rare things that cannot be bought with silver.

After a long time, Zaichun heard that the door of the bedroom next door was finally opened again, and the man from the government came out, but he didn't seem to leave, but was led to the other side by Manager Chu. Listening to the movement, it seemed that he was going to stay here tonight .

"It's weird," Zai Chun pinched the quilt, looked into the darkness, and said in a low voice, "A person from the government actually stayed in our store. Didn't it mean that officials look down on businessmen the most? It's strange."

........................

"This step is wrong, I think this step should be taken."

"How about we try to take this step and go on step by step?"

"I can't make up my mind, you come and get it."

……

Several men in the room were discussing with a chess record. They have been surrounding this chess record for the past few days, studying every page.

After discussing for a long time, without any clue, Zhi Changle looked up and looked outside the house, and said, "It's so late, isn't Ah Li still awake?"

The hut was quiet, there was no candlelight, and the girl hadn't come out since this morning.

To be exact, she has been inside since she came back from Duke Ding's Mansion, except that she came out to eat a bowl of rice last night.

"I don't know if I'm awake or not," Lao Tong also looked over and said worriedly, "I don't seem to be unhappy when I saw her yesterday."

"I'll go take a look again," Zhi Changle said.

The yard is full of snow, and the freshly fallen snowflakes are as soft as cotton, and they crumble when stepped on.

Zhi Changle went to the wooden house and knocked on the door, and said softly, "Ali?"

After a while, the wooden door was opened from the inside. The girl was not wearing pajamas, she looked very energetic, and smiled sweetly: "Zhi Changle."

"Ali, don't you want to eat?" Zhi Changle said, "You have been in the house for the past few days, and we are very worried about you."

"It's okay," Xia Zhaoyi said, "Don't worry about me, I'll come to eat when I'm hungry."

Zhi Changle was still not at ease, thought for a while, and said, "How about I put a few steamed buns in the pot, and if you're hungry, go and heat them up yourself."

"Well, good," Xia Zhaoyi nodded, "Go to bed earlier, the weather will be fine tomorrow."

"Will it be clear tomorrow?" Branch Chief Lexi said, "That's great."

Xia Zhaoyi smiled and pointed to the door: "Then I, the door is closed."

"Remember to eat when you are hungry, don't starve yourself to death." Zhi Changle said hurriedly.

"Got it." Xia Zhaoyi smiled.

The wooden door closed again, Zhi Changle touched her head, still curious about what she was doing, but Ah Li likes to keep her distance from others, so he didn't want to intervene and ask more questions.

Hearing Zhi Changle's footsteps leaving, Xia Zhaoyi looked away from the window edge.

The room was pitch black with no lights on. She sat on the Eight Immortals table with her legs bent, put her hands on her knees, and rested her head on the back of her hands.

On the stone brick floor around the Table of Eight Immortals, there are rolling hills and fields, as well as exquisitely crafted and exquisite cities.

Here is half of the great rivers and mountains, the rivers and the earth, the good fortune of the universe, the vegetation and mountains and rivers in the world, all of which were pinched to the ground by her hands.

She didn't feel sleepy at all, and she didn't feel hungry. She opened her eyes in the dark, looking thoughtfully at an old calligraphy and painting hanging on the wall. It was bought by Lao Tong from a second-hand bookstore and said to be hung here for decoration. , now only an outline can be vaguely seen.

Tonight two years ago, she was wearing a blue crane robe, kneeling on the cliff of Liling, watching the stars and falling coins.

The master said that if you block the robbery with your body, there will be great difficulties, but she still went.

Xia Zhaoyi raised his hand and gently placed it on his cheek.

Before the execution, the barbed torture instrument directly cut her cheek, and the wooden thorns rotted inside, which made her miserable.

The pain was deep into the bone marrow. If she recalled it, it might be clearer and more intense than the pain of skin and flesh she suffered before she died.

When Lu Qianhai asked her if she was afraid of death, she didn't answer, but she was really not afraid.

People in the world often like to use "death" to bluff people, and they feel taboo and fear when mentioning death. This is the instillation and influence of everyone around them since birth.

But to Master and her, death is nothing to them.

Everything is based on consciousness, consciousness is attached to life, life is life, death is also life, what she fears is life, not death.

Therefore, when she was cultivating her character and meditating these few days, she suddenly realized that what Master said at the beginning must be a catastrophe, maybe it was not her death at all, but Master might have anticipated the decline of the Dingguo Mansion.

But even so, putting her back to two years ago again, she would still choose to go to Yunhu without hesitation.

But, does the sky have to perish in Ding Guogong's mansion?

At this time there was another knock on the door outside the house, Xia Zhaoyi withdrew his thoughts, and jumped off the table lightly.

She couldn't see anything in the dark, but she walked steadily, avoiding all the mountains, rivers and cities on the ground, and stepped on the open space to open the door.

"Ali, there's a fight over there, and it's still on fire!" Zhi Changle said hastily as soon as she opened the door.

Xia Zhaoyi raised his head and followed what he was looking at, the sky was brightly lit, and the flames were like leaping flames.

"There are still women and children crying," Zhi Changle said again, "It's very noisy, I don't know if it will come to our place! A Li, should I go and have a look?"

　Thank you Hui Lingling, piggy woman, Laole 10000, a bit of mortal half-life desolate reward
