Crows in the world are as black
Chapter 17
In Ren Qiulan's heart, she lowered her head and sighed softly: "There were many rumors about you in the city that year. I think you have never heard of it, and it doesn't matter... It's all rumors, probably nonsense."
Wu Moxuan's eyes lit up for a moment, and he said vaguely: "Well, it's probably nonsense."
Wu Moxuan stood there for a moment, then suddenly his body became shorter and he squatted down slowly.Pick up three stones of similar size on the ground, put them in a row, and pick up a dead branch, fold it into three sections, and stand in front of the stones.
After doing these actions, she fixedly stared at the dead branches and stones.During the silence, the coldness by the lake became more and more bone-chilling. Wu Moxuan's back was slender and thin, which made people feel pity, and wanted to take this woman into his arms and take care of her.
Standing side by side with three dead branches, it is like three sandalwood sticks in front of the deceased's grave, simple and solemn.
Ren Qiulan's heart moved slightly, and she asked cautiously, "Is Mo Xuan praying for someone?"
Wu Moxuan didn't lift her head, stared at the dead branch, and replied in a daze: "Well, an old friend..." She was stunned for a long time, and murmured in a low voice: "I used to be afraid of him and just wanted to run away from him, but when I met When I was in danger, I couldn't escape his protection and indulgence. I used to look forward to his death until he really died..."
Wu Moxuan's words didn't have much to say, but the sparkle in her eyes was worth a thousand words.
Ren Qiulan listened to her words, but for no reason, she thought of her own resentment over the years.
If Wu Moxuan had asked her if she would like to go to the imperial city, and she had immediately agreed, maybe this life would be completely different.
No matter how many dreams she has had before, once Wu Moxuan really asks such a question, she will probably still hesitate.Whether ten years ago or now.
Ren Qiulan will never be able to be as free and easy as Wu Moxuan.After all, she is just an ordinary girl in the boudoir. She used to worry about her father and elder brother, but now her husband and children make her unable to let go.
As far as Ren Qiulan is concerned, even though she has the heart to go with Wu Moxuan, the family has always been big, and it is not something Wu Moxuan can easily make her give up.
But Wu Moxuan was unwilling to persuade her a few more words.
Ren Qiulan secretly thought about this episode, her heart seemed to be weighed down by a heavy stone, and she felt sore and sad beyond words.
Wu Moxuan finished worshiping at the side, stood up, straightened his clothes, and his expression returned to normal.It's just that there was still a bit of darkness in her eyes, and her pale lips were slightly pressed together, after all, she was not as gentle and calm as usual.
Ren Qiulan was standing beside her, the distance between the two was only a few steps, but it seemed thousands of miles away.
A melodious and brisk piano sound invaded the silent atmosphere, as if a clear spring flowed through the cracks between the stones, washing away the dust and making the stubborn stones more cheerful.
Wu Moxuan looked sideways at the direction where the sound of the piano was coming from, with a focused expression, a slightly relaxed serious expression on his face, but his eyes became more and more sad.
The person playing the piano seemed to be practicing the piece, repeating it over and over again, and Wu Moxuan listened to it over and over without getting tired.
After waiting for the fifth time, Wu Moxuan turned around and walked towards Zhuangzi.Ren Qiulan stepped on the road she had walked, and followed step by step.
The road that Wu Moxuan took was leading to the gate of Luomeizhuang Village. The martial arts conference was approaching, and there were many martial arts figures with various clothes and weapons coming and going on this road.
The two of them were stopped before they could get close to the main road.The guard who followed Ren Qiulan said: "Master, there are a lot of outsiders in the village right now. As a woman, the second lady is inconvenient to show her face. Please go to a secluded place for leisure." Miracle Doctor and Miss are like sisters, and the villains need to protect Miracle Doctor Wu together, please be considerate of Miracle Doctor Wu."
Wu Moxuan shook his head with a smile: "What difference does it make if you are considerate or not."
Wu Moxuan's tone was understated, but Ren Qiulan could faintly sense something strange in it.If it's just her interfering, it's fine, but Wu Moxuan, as a guest of the martial arts conference, will be hindered when he walks around.The guard spoke decently and only wanted to protect, but such an involuntary attitude was clearly grounded.
You must know that although Wu Moxuan is in the Jianghu and has nothing to do with the official family on the surface, she is still the granddaughter of the imperial court chief Sima. According to legend, she is still quietly guarded by the Mo family's secret guards when she travels in the Jianghu.Otherwise, with Wu Moxuan's delicate appearance and offending people everywhere, how could she gain a foothold in the world and make many people treat her politely and fearfully?
Although the Mo family didn't recognize this young lady very much, Wu Moxuan had the blood of the Mo family after all, and was raised in the Wu family, so she was truly an official lady.If she harmed people in the Jianghu, Mo Zhiyuan would poke her spine and point her fingers if she couldn't protect her: the young lady of the Mo family was harmed outside, and the chief Sima held the military power, but he couldn't even protect his own heirs.That iron-blooded veteran has always been serious about face, how can he bear it?He may be able to pretend to be calm on the surface, but secretly there are methods to make the forces in the arena suffer.
Although there are some ruthless methods in the arena to keep people from being noticed, but after all, if you pay too much, you will hardly get any benefits, so no one will take advantage of it.
After Ren Qiulan heard the news about Wu Moxuan, she immediately set off to rush back to Luomei Village. As soon as she entered the gate of the village, she couldn't wait to rush to Wu Moxuan, before hearing the news of Mo Sima's death.
Therefore, Ren Qiulan guessed and guessed right and left, but she couldn't understand why she was willing to take the risk of offending Mo Sima and imprison Wu Moxuan with her father's eagerness to cling to the court.She asked worriedly: "Mo Xuan, my father... did he have any misunderstanding with you?"
Wu Moxuan smiled lightly: "If a wooden box happens to break the lock, and it happens to fall by the foot. No matter what is hidden in the box, since it is within easy reach, no one will hesitate to bend down." The meaning of her words is unclear. Even though Ren Qiulan could hear every word clearly, she didn't know the reason.Turning around to ask the guards again, the guards shook their heads and said, "My master told me, it's better for the lady to know less about things in the Jianghu."
Even though Ren Qiulan had all kinds of doubts, she couldn't disobey her father's order, so she could only sigh and follow Wu Moxuan with her head bowed.No matter how ignorant she was, she also vaguely understood that Wu Moxuan was in trouble and had something to do with her father.If her father really wanted to embarrass Wu Moxuan, whether she would follow her father and stand by and help Wu Moxuan...Ren Qiulan herself didn't know.
"Sister Qiulan..." Wu Moxuan called softly: "Sister Qiulan walked with me for so long today, I am really grateful. Right now your body is exhausted, go back and take care of it earlier, don't suffer from the cold."
When Ren Qiulan came back to her senses, she could only see a road that forked left and right, leading to Wu Moxuan's guest room on the one hand, and leading to the heavily guarded inner courtyard of Luomei Village on the other.
It was such a long road that they couldn't walk side by side.
Ren Qiulan's heart was filled with embarrassment, she lowered her eyes, and asked dimly: "That year... when you left, why didn't you ask me more?"
Wu Moxuan was startled, and asked back: "What are you asking?"
Ren Qiulan said: "Ask...that sentence you asked me when you said goodbye to me."
Wu Moxuan became more and more confused: "Ten years ago... did I bid farewell to Sister Qiulan? What did I ask Sister Qiulan at that time?"
The dazed and confused look on Wu Moxuan's face did not seem to be fake at all.Ren Qiulan's heart was heavy, and she felt more and more depressed, so she forced a smile and said, "It's not...it's something important."
Wu Moxuan showed a bit of worry: "Really? At that time, I didn't say anything rude to sister Qiulan, right?"
Ren Qiulan shook her head and sighed: "With your temperament, how could you say something rude."
Wu Moxuan felt relieved, smiled lightly and said, "That's good."
That's good……
Ren Qiulan put her right hand on her stomach and said goodbye softly.Wu Moxuan watched her back and walked a few steps away, turned around, and walked away alone.
When Wu Moxuan arrived at the door of the side room, there was already a guard standing at the door, upon seeing Wu Moxuan, he leaned over to salute and said: "My master ordered the villain to take a message to Divine Doctor Wu, the hospitality was not good in the past two days, how neglectful. Specially ask Miracle Doctor Wu to change to another place to live."
Wu Moxuan said with a smile: "I live quite comfortably, and I never feel neglected... But the old owner's kindness, I have nowhere to evade it, so I have to thank you for being insensitive."
The guard moved out of the way and reached out to the side path to ask for help.Wu Moxuan said: "I'm not busy, I still have some things close to me to tidy up, please stay for a while."
The guard said: "Once in a while, the servants in the village will come to sort out the things of Doctor Wu and send them to the new residence together."
Wu Moxuan shook his head and said: "There are always a few personal belongings that are inconvenient for others to see... I only need a moment, and it can't last longer than a cup of tea. Please allow me a moment." Her voice was quiet, but soft and elegant, making people say Can't use it.
The young guard's face was reddish, but he couldn't help but sneak a glance at her. He couldn't hold back his temper for a while and murmured, "It's just a moment..."
Wu Moxuan smiled sweetly: "It's just for a moment, and I'll be back in a blink of an eye." She walked towards the house, but this time the guards didn't stop her.
Not long after she entered the house, she really came back, and she changed into a pair of blue and white jade earrings, her long hair was combed softly, tied lightly with a ribbon, which was more elegant and elegant.
The guard couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, it turned out that the genius doctor Wu wasn't looking for any personal belongings, but just tidying up.This woman really cared about her appearance.He waited quietly until Wu Moxuan approached, and once again reached out for love, this time Wu Moxuan didn't say any more, and walked away with him.
"The owner of the villa is worried about the safety of Doctor Wu, so he specially built a courtyard in the inner villa, and invited Doctor Wu to live there." The guard said: "This matter is quite secret, and the owner has not even told the second lady. There are many people in the village now. Mischievous, Miracle Doctor Wu these days... it's better to be cautious about whereabouts. In a few days, the owner of the village will announce to Wulin that Miracle Doctor Wu has left, and Miracle Doctor Wu will be able to settle down in the village."
The so-called safe residence is nothing more than house arrest.
Wu Moxuan's eyes lit up for a moment, and he said vaguely: "Well, it's probably nonsense."
Wu Moxuan stood there for a moment, then suddenly his body became shorter and he squatted down slowly.Pick up three stones of similar size on the ground, put them in a row, and pick up a dead branch, fold it into three sections, and stand in front of the stones.
