drunk red

He spent most of his time wandering around the mansion, only went out twice, and Tang Ziao took him there. Although he wanted to run towards the door now, he couldn't find the exact direction. Although the saber in his arms was very thin, The weight was not too small for him, and following Xue Wanyi's anxious crying, he gradually stopped.

Xue Wanyi walked up to him in a few steps, pulled him into her arms, patted his back again and again, suppressed tears, and tried to speak softly: "Little Jia, listen to your mother, let's go back first." , I will send someone to find your father, okay? Let him come back as soon as possible? En?"

Xue Wanyi held his face up, looked at his red eyes, and gave a comforting smile: "Xiao Jia, how are you?"

Hong Yi still didn't answer, but didn't resist anymore, just hugged the saber tightly, lowered his eyes, not knowing what to think.Seeing this, Xue Wanyi pulled him back, and Hongyi gradually moved forward passively following her strength.Seeing that he didn't object, Xue Wanyi started to quicken her pace, and walked all the way back. When she passed the corridor, Hong Yi suddenly said, "Don't ask people to chase him, I'll wait here."

"Okay, okay." Xue Wanyi did not take him back to the room, but let him sit on the stone bench in the pavilion, so that he would not feel more lonely in the room alone. She took out the towel in her bosom, and carefully wiped the red face Seeing that he didn't continue to cry, he grabbed his hand and wrapped it between his two: "Xiao Jia is so good, Daddy went out to do some errands and will be back soon, he didn't leave you alone. Don't be afraid." As Xue Wanyi spoke, she caressed the palms and backs of his hands carefully.

Her hands are small, slender like white onions, with sweaty palms, trembling slightly because of worry and panic, as she spoke, she seemed to think of something, and her eyes were clouded: "I know , it was Daddy who brought Xiaojia back, and Xiaojia was terrified when he couldn't see him, but Xiaojia still has a mother, and mother will protect you." Xue Wanyi's tears began to fall uncontrollably, she thought , maybe this child was rescued by Tang Ziao from that kind of emergency in that environment, and it is inevitable that he has more dependence on him than other people, not to mention, he is only 12 years old, and he still needs to be held in the palm of his hand. Thinking of this, Xue Wanyi felt guilty for being somewhat jealous of her child's dependence on Tang Ziao's too much intimacy.

His fear and uneasiness about his father's departure was the reason why he didn't have much sense of security. Apart from doing everything she could to make him feel at ease, how could she blame the child for relying more on whom?

She stood up, took the red dress sitting on the bench into her arms, and gently stroked his back.

Hong Yi closed her eyes tightly, and relaxed her body to lean against her arms. What was pressed against her cheek was not soft silk fabric, but soft cotton cloth, with the smell of incense, elegant and clean, his tense heart, He took a short breath, calmed down little by little, tilted his head, and opened his eyes. In front of him was the room where he lived with Tang Ziao, with black-gray bricks and dark red wooden pillars. He held the sword in one hand, and stretched out his arms to hug Xue Wanyi. , looking at the front: "Mom, I'm fine."

"Are you all right?" Xue Wanyi held his face and raised it up. Although her eyes were red from the tears just now, the mist inside them dispersed, and there was still a trace of firmness and determination in the corner of her mouth, and she pointed hard at her Nodding her head, she caressed her face comfortingly: "Don't worry, mother, you can go back and recite the scriptures, and you will make medicine for me tomorrow."

Xue Wanyi saw that he had recovered so quickly, and looked at him worriedly for a while, always feeling that something was wrong, but looking at the red-clothed man holding the sword who was neither crying nor smiling, she couldn't tell what was wrong.

"Mom, I'm going to eat. I haven't eaten yet. You go back. Look, someone has brought me food." said the maid.

The maid approached, saluted the two respectively, and then put the food box into the room under Xue Wanyi's instructions.

She was still worried about Hong Yi alone, and watched him finish his meal by his side, and then lay back on the bed to take a nap.After Hongyi closed her eyes and breathed evenly, Xue Wanyi got up and left.

As soon as Xue Wanyi left, Hongyi opened her eyes, lifted the quilt, and walked out of the room with her sword in her hands.He didn't cry or make trouble this time, and walked quietly on the road. He met a few people along the way, asked them the direction of the gate, and walked straight there.

When he came to the gate, there were naturally guards guarding it. It happened that someone was going out. The gate was not closed, and Hong Yi didn't take the opportunity to go out. He looked around and found a shady stone to sit on. looking at the door.

When the gate was closed, the two guards turned their attention to him. There were not many people in the mansion who had seen the red clothes. They asked a few times, but the red clothes just shook their heads and refused to say anything. The sword in his arms probably guessed that he was the young master who had just been found recently, so he couldn't persuade him, so he could only send someone to inform him.

Chang Wen followed Tang Ziao out the door, only Xue Wanyi was left, most people would not dare to enter her yard without permission, but she felt worried all the time, when she went out, she happened to meet the guard who came to report the news, and followed her to the gate in a hurry.

This time, no matter how much she persuaded, Hong Yi refused to go back with her, holding the sword tightly in his arms, as if it was his only reliance and hope.

After a while, he raised his head and said in a calm voice: "Mom, I'm fine, don't worry, I won't sneak out, I just want to wait here for him to come back. Let me wait, okay? Please. "

Xue Wanyi opened her mouth, moved her lips a few times, and looked at the sad and yearning eyes of the red dress. She couldn't say anything, and there was a strong wave in her heart. She supported the tree beside her, and put her other hand On the chest, he nodded with difficulty.

Sending away the servant girls and guards everywhere, and letting them return to their respective positions, Xue Wanyi asked in a hoarse voice: "Xiaojia, can you tell mother why you have to wait here for daddy?"

After waiting for a long time, when she thought she would not answer, Hongyi lowered her head, and said in a muffled voice: "Mother, I feel scared..." The following words could no longer be said, sobbing, but the tears forced him to Hold back and refuse to flow out.Aggrieved, he kept sobbing and hiccupping, and his body trembled violently.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, just wait here until your father comes back. We won't go back to the house." Xue Wanyi sat next to him, patted his back to give him relief, lest he pass out of breath.

Closing her eyes, she let out a long sigh, and covered the red clothes with one hand. Maybe they can repair the physical defects and injuries through soup and medicine, but the insecurity and fear in this child's heart can only be repaired through Give him more and greater sense of security to let him confirm, confirm that he is not alone, and confirm that he does not have to live in an environment where he has to be on guard and panic every day.

Under Xue Wanyi's instructions, some guards rushed to notify Tang Ziao, but they probably had gone far away. Even if they got back immediately after receiving the news, it would probably be the next day. Xue Wanyi waited by Hongyi's side until dark, Seeing that the pale red clothes still had no intention of leaving, she knelt down and looked up at him: "It's getting dark, Xiao Jia, go back and eat something to sleep, okay? Maybe when you wake up, your father will be back. "

"Ah...it's getting dark." It took a while for Hong Yi to react, and her eyes focused from the slack.

"Well, be obedient and go back."

Hongyi nodded and stood up holding the stone. She didn't touch any water all afternoon. She felt a little dizzy when she stood up. She lowered her head and bent over to support the stone. Order food and go to bed, I promise to eat obediently, then go to bed, and won't sneak out at night."

Xue Wanyi was still worried, but Hongyi didn't let her sleep with him, so she had to ask two guards to guard his door and not allow him to go out at night, so she went back to her small courtyard.

There was no candle in the red dress, and the moonlight was clear. Two figures were reflected on the wooden door, piercing through the thin window paper. slept through the night.

Just as the sky was about to light up, Hongyi woke up, washed his face with the basin of water left over from last night, ate some pastries, opened the door and went out: "It's dawn."

The two looked at each other and understood what he meant. It was dawn, so there was no need to guard.

Holding the sword in his arms, Hong Yi sat down on the stone next to the gate in a familiar way. The two guards had changed shifts, not from yesterday. Red Yi rested his chin and quietly stared at the dark red wooden door.

It was bright and the sun was rising.

The red clothed face became paler under the sun, a little sickly white.He didn't move, he didn't speak, and occasionally he would hammer his legs because he was tired from sitting, but no matter what, the sword would never leave his hand.

Xue Wanyi hurried over from the moment he came over. She had nothing else to do but sit quietly beside him and accompany him, even if she could only give him even a little comfort, let him He knew that it was much better if no one was with him.

A few maidservants brought some snacks and tea, but Hongyi didn't eat anything.

The sun rose to the top of the head, and it was almost past time (after 11 o'clock). Xue Wanyi just waved away the waiting people around her, when she saw Hongyi rubbed her hands and sat up from the stone.

"what happened?"

Hongyi glanced at her excitedly, her excited eyes lit up, she turned her head and ran towards the door: "Open the door, open the door."

The two guards froze for a moment, and then they heard the sound of horseshoes in the distance, and they were already approaching the door, and they were so hurried...

The two hurriedly opened the door, before they could stop him, they saw him rushing out.

"return,
