"What are you doing?" Yun Hua muttered, sweeping the dust off the stone steps, and sat down.Shui Youhan didn't want him to know about the past between her and Jinfu, so he could just wait outside, if he didn't come out for so long, this person must have forgotten which restaurant he was talking about waiting for her.

Yunhua was sitting on the stone slab bored, looking into the distance, she could just see the orange-red sun behind the layers of mountains.

She stared at the sun slowly falling, falling bit by bit.I don't know how long it took, the eaves of the government's eaves on the long street flew into the orange glow, and a gorgeous orange red covered the entire long street, gradually unfolding and laying out like a scroll.

Yunhua watched the dark orange scroll spread out, and watched it be stained with a light ink color floating in the clouds, and then the ink color became thicker and thicker, eventually obliterating all the sounds under the sky.

"The water is still cold, why did you go there, why don't you come out." Yunhua stepped on the withered yellow sycamore leaves on the ground sullenly, the sound of clicking and clicking was accompanied by the sound of insects all around, making her unclean.

She stood up weakly, but a thought suddenly changed in her mind—the water is still cold, so nothing will happen, right?

Thinking in this way, she turned around slowly, squinted her eyes at the tightly closed iron door.Then, her eyes stopped on the top of the courtyard wall of Jin Mansion.

The night is silent, and the night wind blows.

A shadow suddenly fell into a corner of the Golden Mansion, looked around for a while, and quickly hid behind the rockery by the pond.

Two maidservants holding lanterns whispered and walked past, unaware of the movement around them, walked past as usual, and went back to their room to turn off the lights and rest.

Yunhua stared at the whereabouts of the two from behind the rockery, and observed that the row of houses they lived in was simple and plain, and the style was almost the same. It should be that the wing room was for the maidservants to live in.

She turned her head and looked in another direction, and suddenly her eyes fell on a simple small room by the east corner.

Although the house is simple and unremarkable, there is a lock on the door.

Yunhua approached there silently with light steps, and when she reached the door, she grabbed the brass lock and glanced at it—it was just the most common single-core horizontal lock.

She pulled out a thin hairpin from her bun, inserted it into the keyhole and pried it a few times, and the lock snapped open with a crisp clang, turning into a piece of scrap copper.

When Yunhua gently pushed the door open, only half of the crack was exposed, and she immediately saw a person locked inside.The speed of her pushing the door suddenly became faster, then she jumped into the firewood room and closed the door with her backhand, and quickly squatted down to help the person beside the woodpile, calling in a low voice: "The water is still cold, the water is still cold..."

Sure enough, she was not here for a while, and something happened to this person.

If I knew it earlier, I shouldn't let her be willful and let her enter the Jin Mansion alone.Yunhua suddenly felt that there was one more thing to worry about.

After Yunhua called several times in a row, Shui Youhan finally came to consciousness.Her eyelashes flickered and trembled, and she slowly opened her eyes, "... Yunhua?" It just seemed that she hadn't fully recovered.

Yunhua gently helped her to sit up, and then buried her head down to unlock the iron shackles on her hands and feet, muttering, "What did you do? You'll be locked up in the firewood room if I'm not around for a while. Come back to find you..." As he spoke, he raised his head and gave her a gouging look, and said fiercely, "It depends on you!"

Yunhua continued to lower her head to carefully pick the lock. The lock cylinder of this iron shackle was obviously much more complicated than the broken lock outside the door. She took a thin hairpin and fiddled with it for a long time. The stuffy and dry air in the firewood room made her hot I was sweating profusely.

"If it doesn't work, forget it." At this moment, Shui Youhan said.

Seeing that Yunhua was sweating profusely, she wanted to persuade her to take a break, but she was suddenly stared at: "Who said I can't do it anymore? I just need a little time. You stay quiet and don't talk."

So Shui Youhan closed his mouth, and really waited quietly by the side, not even moving.

The quietness at this time saved Yunhua a lot of worry.After a long time, there was a "click" sound from the keyhole. The sound was extremely pleasant at the moment. Yunhua pulled out the hairpin and breathed a sigh of relief. She pulled the iron chain in her hand, and the iron chain fell off Shui Youhan's body immediately.

It took a lot of effort after all this tossing, Yunhua leaned back on the woodpile to rest for a while, and asked casually: "Hey, why were you locked in?"

This reminded Shui Youhan of Jin Fujia's calculations at that time. She closed her eyes, but her eyebrows were slightly frowned, and her thin lips were drawn into a straight line.

Yunhua looked at her with half understanding, and patted her on the shoulder: "It's okay, I'll avenge you later." It seemed that she didn't want to say it again.

Shui Youhan suddenly spoke of Jin Fujia's previous words, and those broken words pointed at by the aunts in front of the gate.

She said: "I didn't ask them to take me in at the beginning."

Then, he said the longest and longest speech of his life.

Shui Youhan's parents were originally farmers in a village on the edge of the city. They were both hard-working and honest people. But not too bad.

There are clothes every year, food every year, and the water is still cold. Sometimes when I accompany my parents to the city to sell goods, I will see many daughters from rich families. Although the food and clothing are better than her own, she doesn't feel envious.
