Yueniang didn't wait for her Gu Er, the rain stopped and stopped, half stopped and half stopped for the whole afternoon, and then lingered all night. When the sky was getting bright, there was still a bone-chilling drizzle.
Yueniang curled up on the tree, not daring to close her eyes all night, afraid that the pursuers would come, afraid that Gu Er would get lost and walk past her without finding her, and also afraid that she would fall asleep and accidentally fall down to meet the King of Hades.
This night seemed as long as thousands of years, and Yueniang didn't know how she survived it.
She was cold and hungry, and in addition to being frightened, she became groggy and had a high fever.
The longer he waited, the colder his heart became, and the more he felt that Gu Er left him and ran away alone.
She could understand that Gu Er was greedy for life and abandoned her in fear of death, but she couldn't forgive him.
Abandoning her at a time like this is tantamount to letting her die. Why should an indirect murderer expect her to forgive? !
Gu Er, Gu Er!Fortunately, I said hello earlier!
In any case, she couldn't continue to sit still.
She wants to go down.
It's not easy to climb up a tree, but it's not necessarily difficult to fall down from it. You just need to hold on to the trunk tightly, and don't care if it falls or not, just rub it down along the way.
Yueniang was so burned that she was so weak that she hugged the tree with limp hands and feet, and she couldn't hold it after rubbing it halfway, and fell heavily on the ground.
Fortunately, there were rotten and fallen leaves under the tree all the year round, so she didn't fall hard, got up in a daze, picked up the chisel and arrow, but couldn't tell the direction, and staggered forward based on intuition.
so cold...
so hungry...
sleepy……
I feel dizzy too...
So uncomfortable.
If it was so uncomfortable at home, the family would have been turned upside down, maybe the emperor ordered the imperial physician to come and check the pulse.
But now...
She wanted to lie down several times, whether it was life or death, she didn't want to leave anyway.
But in this wilderness, she knows better than anyone what lying down means.
The cousin who grew up together wanted to kill her, and Gu Er, who kept saying that he would not leave her behind, also ran away without a trace. Sure enough, what mother said was right, no one in this world is reliable, except for parents, no one can. letter!
no!She can't give up!
She still wants to go back alive and throw herself into the arms of her father and mother to cry and cry over the grievances of these days, and let her father avenge her!
For the first time in her life, the delicate little Yueniang burst out with a strong will, her eyes were so burned that she couldn't see the way clearly, and she still insisted on walking.
Shaking left and right, right and left, my waist couldn't straighten up, my legs and feet were trembling, every step felt like I was stepping on a cloud, I was dizzy, my head was buzzing, and I felt like vomiting.
But the stomach pouch was empty, and I couldn't even vomit acid water after retching.
No matter how strong the lofty ambitions are, they will be wiped out in this seemingly inescapable forest.
No way, really no way...
Suddenly the sky turned.
Whoosh!
She fell headfirst to the ground.
It seemed to vaguely see a figure walking towards her.
It seemed to pick her up.
it seems that……
Gu Er...
My panicked heart suddenly fell to the ground...
……
Well……
Splitting headache.
Isn't she dead?Why is it still so uncomfortable?
Liu Yueniang barely opened her eyes, and the dancing flames beside her made her whole body warm. Behind the flames was a slender figure.
Gu Er?
This, where is this?
She raised her forehead and looked around. This is a cave with strange rocks. It is not deep, but it is only about ten feet, but it can just keep out the wind and rain. With this bonfire, it will be much warmer.
As she got up, the black robe covering her body slipped off, and a hole was torn in the back of the robe, soaked in blood.
Isn't this... Gu Er's light shirt?
Only then did she notice that Gu Er behind the bonfire was only wearing a scarlet apron, unlike her embroidered Fengao Jiutian. Her black hair was scattered over her shoulders like a waterfall, half covering her round shoulders, and the bright red apron rope around her neck was particularly eye-catching.
Her dazed mind finally came to her senses, she finally realized that Gu Er had really looked back for her, she was no longer alone, she had someone to rely on.
She looked at Gu Er, feeling an inexplicable emotion spreading, she couldn't tell what it was, but felt her heart was full in an instant.
She didn't abandon her...
She actually looked back for her...
Obviously, I still have injuries...
On such a cold day, he even took off his coat for her...
Really... silly!
Her eyes were hot, and tears seemed to fall at any moment, and she suddenly became angry again.
This bastard!She was made to wait for such a long time!
Why didn't she wait until she was dead before coming back? !
Also, why did she cover her with a coat? How could she be naked in the suburbs?What if the pursuers come?
At that time, wouldn't she even have to run away, and would have to die of shame and anger?
Yueniang raised her head and rubbed the corners of her eyes.
Why is she crying?She was cold because she was cold, and she died of shame and anger because she died of shame and anger. What's hindering her, Liu Yueniang?
She didn't shed tears for her, she, she felt sorry for herself, not for her anyway!
"Hey! Come here and get your tattered clothes, Miss Ben is not interested!"
It was really cold when I lifted the Xuanyi at first, Yueniang couldn't help shivering.
After all, she was still wearing a skirt, and Gu Er was bare-chested, wouldn't it be colder?
"What about you! Come and get your rags!"
Gu Er leaned against the cave wall and closed her eyes, the jumping flames reflected her face reddened by all sentient beings, she remained motionless, without any reaction.
"Hi! The surname is Gu!"
The cave echoed clearly, but Gu Er still didn't respond at all.
No, not right!Is her face too red?Even the flames shouldn't be so red!
Is it...
Yueniang struggled to get up, enduring the headache.
Just now, when the bonfire blocked him, he couldn't see clearly. Gu Er's underpants had torn off a leg, and it was torn into cloth strips to wrap around the arrow wound on his back. The exposed legs were white and slender, but there were bruises and bruises everywhere.
Yueniang called her name, went to crouch down, and touched her forehead.
So hot!
She clearly remembered that she had a high fever, why did Gu Er have a fever when she retreated?
She hurriedly covered her body with the black robe, and helped her to lie down.
"You, are you okay? You...you..."
After finally finding support, it suddenly looked like this.
Moon Mother closed her eyes.
She never left her, and she won't leave her.
But how to get rid of high fever?
Gu Er's face was flushed with heat, and her lips became paler, she moved her lips, and murmured vaguely.
Yue Niang hurriedly leaned over.
"What? What are you talking about? Cold? What should I do if it's cold?"
She glanced at the skirt on her body.
Take it off and cover her?
Her gauze thin jacket, to be honest, there is no difference between covering it and not covering it.
She looked again at the crackling bonfire.
Gu Er was on the outside of the fire, near the entrance of the cave. It was relatively colder, and the ground was more humid. The place where he was lying just now was the only higher place in the whole cave, and also the only dry place, with a little hay covered.
She was seriously injured and needed a good rest more than herself, but she gave her the best position...
It's just some minor details, the softest part of Yueniang's heart suddenly hurts.
As she said, she is not her servant girl, nor is she a prince and grandson seeking marriage, nor is she her parents. Why does she treat her so well?
For rewarding silver?For glory and wealth?
Your life is gone, so what are you talking about?
Besides, if it's just for rewarding money, he should try to please her more on weekdays, so why get angry at her?
If you treat her badly, it will not be good to the end, why is it so good at this critical moment?It makes her, she...
A piece of clothing in distress is better than ten thousand taels of gold in ordinary times.
Yueniang wiped the smoky corners of her eyes, and tried to hug Gu Er, but it was clear that Gu Er hugged her as easily as nothing, but she hugged Gu Er more than Mount Tai.
In desperation, she had to drag her to the side of the campfire.
The wound was unavoidable, Gu Er groaned softly in pain, and opened his eyes in a daze.
"You...cough..."
As soon as he opened his mouth, his throat was so hoarse that it hurt just to hear it.
Yueniang's heart felt hot, and she quickly covered her mouth.
"Stop talking! Me, I'll get you some water."
Her voice is not much better, but it is much better than Gu Er's voice that seems to be cut by a sharp knife.
There are vines at the entrance of the cave. Yueniang picked a larger leaf, caught the rainwater in, and carefully fed it into her mouth.
Gu Er took two sips and pointed to the bonfire.
"Pull it apart..."
Yueniang was a little dazed, but she still picked up the stick that was burning the fire and dug up the soil beside the fire.
There are a few bird eggs buried under the soil, so close to the fire, they have already been cooked.
Yueniang picked out the eggs with a wooden stick, touched her ears with her hot hands on the hem of her skirt, peeled an egg and handed it to her lips.
Gu Er didn't refuse, just opened his mouth to eat, Yueniang glanced at her chapped lips, and took some rainwater for her to drink.
Bird eggs are very small, not much bigger than quail eggs, and I don't know what kind of bird's eggs they are, so it's perfectly fine to bite one.
Yueniang peeled another one and fed it to Gu Er, but Gu Er shook his head.
"you eat."
Yueniang glanced at the remaining eggs, "There are six eggs in total, it just so happens that you have three eggs and I have three eggs, neither side to side."
Gu Er still shook his head, "That's enough for me, you can eat, take a rest after eating, and we have to go on our way when the rain stops."
"How can you hurry when you are burned like this?"
Gu Er said nothing, and closed his eyes tiredly.
Yueniang was really hungry, she peeled the eggs whole and stuffed them into her mouth, now she didn't say the rain was cold and dirty, she just drank it.
The bird's egg was too small to stop her hunger, and by the time she realized it, there was only the last one left.
She glanced at Gu Er whose cheeks were flushed with heat, and rubbed her rumbling stomach.
I want to eat.
Really Want.
I have never eaten such delicious eggs in my life.
cocoa……
Let her keep it.
Gu Er's back was injured, and he was half lying beside the fire, and this lying down lasted for a day and a night.
Yue Niang was spoiled and spoiled, she didn't know that on rainy days, she had to gather firewood and bake it by the fire in advance. After the firewood ran out, she directly refilled the wet firewood in. Naturally, the fire didn't continue.
As soon as the fire was extinguished, the cold air immediately rushed into the cave, and Yueniang shivered from the cold.
She is so cold, let alone Gu Er who is still having a high fever?
How can this be good?
The rain gradually showed signs of stopping, but it was already late, and there seemed to be wild animals screaming in the distance, and the cave was pitch black, only a little spark was still flickering in the fire.
A hoarse call suddenly sounded in the darkness.
"Moon Mother..."
Yueniang was taken aback, and quickly turned around and groped for Gu Er's hand.
"I, I am, I am here."
"Your hands...why are they so cold?"
"You're hot, it's not me, it's you who are hot."
Gu Er didn't say any more, just said hoarsely: "Come here, I'll hug you to keep you warm."
With a high fever, how can it not be warm?
Yueniang huddled in her arms, dispelling the cold, with mixed emotions in her heart, unable to tell whether it was sadness or joy.
I just feel that Gu Er is stupid, she is burned like this, and she is still thinking about fearing that she will be cold.
When she returns to Beijing, her father must accept her as a foster daughter, and she will be a good sister with her for life and life.
Gu Er burned for two full days and two nights, but he didn't delay his journey.
At daybreak, she struggled to get up, and was supported by Yueniang to leave. She walked for five days before leaving the forest.
They didn't dare to ask the government for help, they were afraid of alarming the Qi family's cousin, so they still took detours and walked in the wilderness.
Passing through the village, Gu Er exchanged the only money he had for an old mule, and laughed and talked nicely with him. He asked the villager to give him half a bag of sweet potatoes and two cans of herbs that were just enough for two days of external application and internal administration. Mother left.
This pull is more than a month.
The mule was small and couldn't carry two people, except that Gu Er tore his wound and almost had a high fever, and Yue Niang cried, made trouble, and hanged himself, forcing Gu Er to ride for two days, all of whom were Yue Niang.
They ate and slept all the way, picked wild fruits, caught rabbits, pheasants, and birds' eggs when they ran out of sweet potatoes, and lived hungry and full.
It was midsummer when I went there, and it was late autumn when I stood under the Forbidden City again.
As soon as Lao Shangshu heard that his daughter had returned, he hurried all the way to the front of the mansion, crying with excitement.
Knowing that Gu Er is her daughter's life-saving benefactor, she is even more grateful, and she does not see the arrogance of a nobleman who looks above her head.
Gu Er explained the ins and outs in detail, including the matter of prescribing the medicine.
Old Shangshu was suspicious, and asked how to get the medicine?
Gu Er lied that he was originally from the Jianghu, traveled all over the world, happened to prepare the antidote, and explained the formula of the antidote in detail, and the old master wrote it. It was true, but he still had doubts about her.
Hehuansan can be regarded as a strange poison in the world, and it is not uncommon for a nobleman to get one or two, but how can she, a woman who wanders the rivers and lakes, have this antidote?
For sure, she gave this medicine to her daughter, and then planted it on the Qi family, so that she could sit on the throne of Liu's benefactor and seek benefits.
No way, what she misses is their family's Jufuding!
The old Shangshu has been in the officialdom for nearly 40 years. What kind of conspiracy has he not seen?How could she trust a woman of unknown origin?
He rolled his eyes, smiled and said that Gu Er was rewarded with a hundred taels of gold, a thousand taels of silver, and Dongzhu emerald silk and satin.
With such a big handwriting, it is nothing more than a third-rank official marrying a daughter, so it can be called "thank you".
But he didn't want to, Gu Er only wanted the bank notes, but he didn't want anything else.
Old Shangshu was somewhat unpredictable.
If she walked away and left the capital without leaving the capital for a moment, then she was really innocent, and he misunderstood her.
If she pretends to be lofty, refuses to accept the gift, but refuses to leave, then she has an evil intention.
Or, she is just greedy for things outside her body, accepting a heavy gift and leaving, it can be regarded as not owed to both.
But what does it mean for her to take a little, keep most of it, and turn around and leave?
Liu Yueniang just went in to take a bath and change clothes, but Gu Er left without leaving a word.
"she left?"
"gone."
"Really gone?"
"Really gone."
Yueniang staggered for a moment, then sat down on the teacher's chair, with a dazed expression.
"It's so good, how could she leave without saying goodbye?" Peach Blossom Eyes hesitated, "But what did Daddy say that was ugly?"
Mrs. Shangshu had been with her daughter just now, and she was also puzzled.
"Master, did you really speak ill of Yueniang's savior?"
The old steward hurriedly defended the master, "Master didn't say anything, he just rewarded her with gold, silver and jewels, and she took the silver note and left."
Yueniang stood up in a huff, "You said she only left after collecting the money?"
"Yes." The old steward repeated.
After finally arriving home, she left?Just leave for a mere reward?
Why treat her well? After all, it was still for money!
How could she... How could she live up to her sincerity so much? !
She originally wanted to marry Jinlan with her, and she would never give up!
How does this make her happy? !
Liu Yueniang turned her head and ran out, followed by the old Shangshu and Mrs. Shangshu.
"Where are you going? Yueniang! Yueniang!"
It was getting late, the sky was full of stars, and the night in late autumn was a little cold, but Yueniang was sweating all over from running.
The concierge clearly said that she was going east, why did she not see anyone after chasing her for so long?
The servant girl was also panting after following her.
Yue Niang pointed: "You split up and search all the inns! And you, search all the medicine halls! Xiaolian, accompany me to Zhengyang Street."
Beijing is bustling, unlike small towns where there are only night markets on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, and there are night markets here every day.
The gate of the city has long been locked, Gu Er can't get out, she will definitely find an inn to rest for a while, she is on a bumpy journey, her wound is not recovering well, she may also go to the medicine hall.
As for this night market street, it is not impossible, after all, she has always been frugal, and the wonton noodles at the night market are cheaper than those at the inn.
However, from the street to the end of the alley, Gu Er was not found, but a noodle stall.
Yueniang couldn't help going over, and asked softly: "Master, can you pinch one like mine?"
The dough master took over a lot of this kind of work, picked up the dough and kneaded it. After a while, a lifelike little moon was kneaded out. The same cloud and white gown with pomegranate skirt, bright eyes and white teeth, delicate and pretty It's touching, and it's more than a little better than the craftsmanship in that small town.
Yueniang took it with joy, and said: "Can you pinch one more like I said?"
"Miss, please speak."
"This is also a woman, with dark clothes and a light shirt, wooden hairpins, curled hair, cold eyes and eyebrows, skin like creamy fat, and lips like vermilion."
What Yueniang described was upside down, but fortunately the masker understood it, and soon handed her a little Gu, which naturally lacked the charm of Gu Er, but the red lips were so gorgeous, which was quite a finishing touch. Pen.
Yueniang was happy, and asked Xiaolian to ask for the broken silver to reward the master. The master was surprised and happy, and bowed again and again to thank him.
The capital city is neither small nor big, so it's not difficult to find someone who hasn't deliberately hidden.
The servant found Gu Er in the medicine hall. At that time, she was drinking medicine, and the doctor had just ordered someone to add copper plates to the decoction to nourish the blood and strengthen the essence.
Seeing her pale face like paper, Yueniang couldn't say a word of harshness, and handed Xiao Xiaoyue to her.
"go home with me."
Gu Er didn't pick up Xiao Xiaoyue, raised his head and drank the last sip of medicine, put down the medicine bowl and followed her out.
"I'm leaving early tomorrow morning, let's just leave here."
Yueniang bowed her head, there were only the two of them in the empty alley, the servant girl was sent away several feet away, waiting eagerly, not daring to come.
Yueniang clenched the wooden stick tightly in her hand, and the dough was still not completely dry, so she trembled twice.
"You... sent me back just for money?"
Gu Er stood facing the wind, his clothes fluttering, and said lightly: "Of course not."
Yueniang was overjoyed, "Then why do you want to collect money?"
"It's strange what you're asking. How did you and I get here? Do you want me to sleep on the street?"
Yueniang choked, but her eyes widened as she choked, and then she squeezed her mouth again.
"Sleeping on the street? There are hundreds of rooms in my Shangshu's mansion, but it's not enough for you to live in?"
"You are Miss Qianjin, and I am a pariah who wanders the rivers and lakes. The status is very different, so it is really inconvenient to stay overnight."
Yueniang became angry and stepped forward to hold her hand.
"My best friend Liu Yueniang's handkerchief, who dares to say that he is a pariah?! See if I don't pull out his tongue!"
"Pull out the tongue" is a phrase that the nurse in charge often uses to intimidate the servants, and Yueniang has long heard her ears callused, so she uses it casually.
"There is no permanent banquet in the world, so what if we stay for a few more days? Let's just say goodbye."
After all, he walked away without looking back.
Yueniang stomped her feet behind her angrily, "After all, it's because I got the money and thought I was useless, so I was in a hurry to get rid of the relationship!"
Gu Er glanced at her lightly, "Let's just take it for granted."
"you!"
It was just an angry word, but I never thought that she would answer it!
"You! You go! If you go, never come back!"
Gu Er paused slightly but did not turn his head, leaving behind a bitter chuckle.
"The world is so big, where is my home, Gu Er? If I don't have a home, how can I come back?"
Yueniang curled up on the tree, not daring to close her eyes all night, afraid that the pursuers would come, afraid that Gu Er would get lost and walk past her without finding her, and also afraid that she would fall asleep and accidentally fall down to meet the King of Hades.
This night seemed as long as thousands of years, and Yueniang didn't know how she survived it.
She was cold and hungry, and in addition to being frightened, she became groggy and had a high fever.
The longer he waited, the colder his heart became, and the more he felt that Gu Er left him and ran away alone.
She could understand that Gu Er was greedy for life and abandoned her in fear of death, but she couldn't forgive him.
Abandoning her at a time like this is tantamount to letting her die. Why should an indirect murderer expect her to forgive? !
Gu Er, Gu Er!Fortunately, I said hello earlier!
In any case, she couldn't continue to sit still.
She wants to go down.

Yueniang was so burned that she was so weak that she hugged the tree with limp hands and feet, and she couldn't hold it after rubbing it halfway, and fell heavily on the ground.
Fortunately, there were rotten and fallen leaves under the tree all the year round, so she didn't fall hard, got up in a daze, picked up the chisel and arrow, but couldn't tell the direction, and staggered forward based on intuition.

Yueniang glanced at the remaining eggs, "There are six eggs in total, it just so happens that you have three eggs and I have three eggs, neither side to side."
Gu Er still shook his head, "That's enough for me, you can eat, take a rest after eating, and we have to go on our way when the rain stops."
"How can you hurry when you are burned like this?"
Gu Er said nothing, and closed his eyes tiredly.
Yueniang was really hungry, she peeled the eggs whole and stuffed them into her mouth, now she didn't say the rain was cold and dirty, she just drank it.
The bird's egg was too small to stop her hunger, and by the time she realized it, there was only the last one left.
She glanced at Gu Er whose cheeks were flushed with heat, and rubbed her rumbling stomach.
I want to eat.
Really Want.
I have never eaten such delicious eggs in my life.
cocoa……
Let her keep it.
Gu Er's back was injured, and he was half lying beside the fire, and this lying down lasted for a day and a night.
Yue Niang was spoiled and spoiled, she didn't know that on rainy days, she had to gather firewood and bake it by the fire in advance. After the firewood ran out, she directly refilled the wet firewood in. Naturally, the fire didn't continue.
As soon as the fire was extinguished, the cold air immediately rushed into the cave, and Yueniang shivered from the cold.
She is so cold, let alone Gu Er who is still having a high fever?
How can this be good?
The rain gradually showed signs of stopping, but it was already late, and there seemed to be wild animals screaming in the distance, and the cave was pitch black, only a little spark was still flickering in the fire.
A hoarse call suddenly sounded in the darkness.
"Moon Mother..."
Yueniang was taken aback, and quickly turned around and groped for Gu Er's hand.
"I, I am, I am here."
"Your hands...why are they so cold?"
"You're hot, it's not me, it's you who are hot."
Gu Er didn't say any more, just said hoarsely: "Come here, I'll hug you to keep you warm."
With a high fever, how can it not be warm?
Yueniang huddled in her arms, dispelling the cold, with mixed emotions in her heart, unable to tell whether it was sadness or joy.
I just feel that Gu Er is stupid, she is burned like this, and she is still thinking about fearing that she will be cold.
When she returns to Beijing, her father must accept her as a foster daughter, and she will be a good sister with her for life and life.
Gu Er burned for two full days and two nights, but he didn't delay his journey.
At daybreak, she struggled to get up, and was supported by Yueniang to leave. She walked for five days before leaving the forest.
They didn't dare to ask the government for help, they were afraid of alarming the Qi family's cousin, so they still took detours and walked in the wilderness.
Passing through the village, Gu Er exchanged the only money he had for an old mule, and laughed and talked nicely with him. He asked the villager to give him half a bag of sweet potatoes and two cans of herbs that were just enough for two days of external application and internal administration. Mother left.
This pull is more than a month.
The mule was small and couldn't carry two people, except that Gu Er tore his wound and almost had a high fever, and Yue Niang cried, made trouble, and hanged himself, forcing Gu Er to ride for two days, all of whom were Yue Niang.
They ate and slept all the way, picked wild fruits, caught rabbits, pheasants, and birds' eggs when they ran out of sweet potatoes, and lived hungry and full.
It was midsummer when I went there, and it was late autumn when I stood under the Forbidden City again.
As soon as Lao Shangshu heard that his daughter had returned, he hurried all the way to the front of the mansion, crying with excitement.
Knowing that Gu Er is her daughter's life-saving benefactor, she is even more grateful, and she does not see the arrogance of a nobleman who looks above her head.
Gu Er explained the ins and outs in detail, including the matter of prescribing the medicine.
Old Shangshu was suspicious, and asked how to get the medicine?
Gu Er lied that he was originally from the Jianghu, traveled all over the world, happened to prepare the antidote, and explained the formula of the antidote in detail, and the old master wrote it. It was true, but he still had doubts about her.
Hehuansan can be regarded as a strange poison in the world, and it is not uncommon for a nobleman to get one or two, but how can she, a woman who wanders the rivers and lakes, have this antidote?
For sure, she gave this medicine to her daughter, and then planted it on the Qi family, so that she could sit on the throne of Liu's benefactor and seek benefits.
No way, what she misses is their family's Jufuding!
The old Shangshu has been in the officialdom for nearly 40 years. What kind of conspiracy has he not seen?How could she trust a woman of unknown origin?
He rolled his eyes, smiled and said that Gu Er was rewarded with a hundred taels of gold, a thousand taels of silver, and Dongzhu emerald silk and satin.
With such a big handwriting, it is nothing more than a third-rank official marrying a daughter, so it can be called "thank you".
But he didn't want to, Gu Er only wanted the bank notes, but he didn't want anything else.
Old Shangshu was somewhat unpredictable.
If she walked away and left the capital without leaving the capital for a moment, then she was really innocent, and he misunderstood her.
If she pretends to be lofty, refuses to accept the gift, but refuses to leave, then she has an evil intention.
Or, she is just greedy for things outside her body, accepting a heavy gift and leaving, it can be regarded as not owed to both.
But what does it mean for her to take a little, keep most of it, and turn around and leave?
Liu Yueniang just went in to take a bath and change clothes, but Gu Er left without leaving a word.
"she left?"
"gone."
"Really gone?"
"Really gone."
Yueniang staggered for a moment, then sat down on the teacher's chair, with a dazed expression.
"It's so good, how could she leave without saying goodbye?" Peach Blossom Eyes hesitated, "But what did Daddy say that was ugly?"
Mrs. Shangshu had been with her daughter just now, and she was also puzzled.
"Master, did you really speak ill of Yueniang's savior?"
The old steward hurriedly defended the master, "Master didn't say anything, he just rewarded her with gold, silver and jewels, and she took the silver note and left."
Yueniang stood up in a huff, "You said she only left after collecting the money?"
"Yes." The old steward repeated.
After finally arriving home, she left?Just leave for a mere reward?
Why treat her well? After all, it was still for money!
How could she... How could she live up to her sincerity so much? !
She originally wanted to marry Jinlan with her, and she would never give up!
How does this make her happy? !
Liu Yueniang turned her head and ran out, followed by the old Shangshu and Mrs. Shangshu.
"Where are you going? Yueniang! Yueniang!"
It was getting late, the sky was full of stars, and the night in late autumn was a little cold, but Yueniang was sweating all over from running.
The concierge clearly said that she was going east, why did she not see anyone after chasing her for so long?
The servant girl was also panting after following her.
Yue Niang pointed: "You split up and search all the inns! And you, search all the medicine halls! Xiaolian, accompany me to Zhengyang Street."
Beijing is bustling, unlike small towns where there are only night markets on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year, and there are night markets here every day.
The gate of the city has long been locked, Gu Er can't get out, she will definitely find an inn to rest for a while, she is on a bumpy journey, her wound is not recovering well, she may also go to the medicine hall.
As for this night market street, it is not impossible, after all, she has always been frugal, and the wonton noodles at the night market are cheaper than those at the inn.
However, from the street to the end of the alley, Gu Er was not found, but a noodle stall.
Yueniang couldn't help going over, and asked softly: "Master, can you pinch one like mine?"
The dough master took over a lot of this kind of work, picked up the dough and kneaded it. After a while, a lifelike little moon was kneaded out. The same cloud and white gown with pomegranate skirt, bright eyes and white teeth, delicate and pretty It's touching, and it's more than a little better than the craftsmanship in that small town.
Yueniang took it with joy, and said: "Can you pinch one more like I said?"
"Miss, please speak."
"This is also a woman, with dark clothes and a light shirt, wooden hairpins, curled hair, cold eyes and eyebrows, skin like creamy fat, and lips like vermilion."
What Yueniang described was upside down, but fortunately the masker understood it, and soon handed her a little Gu, which naturally lacked the charm of Gu Er, but the red lips were so gorgeous, which was quite a finishing touch. Pen.
Yueniang was happy, and asked Xiaolian to ask for the broken silver to reward the master. The master was surprised and happy, and bowed again and again to thank him.
The capital city is neither small nor big, so it's not difficult to find someone who hasn't deliberately hidden.
The servant found Gu Er in the medicine hall. At that time, she was drinking medicine, and the doctor had just ordered someone to add copper plates to the decoction to nourish the blood and strengthen the essence.
Seeing her pale face like paper, Yueniang couldn't say a word of harshness, and handed Xiao Xiaoyue to her.
"go home with me."
Gu Er didn't pick up Xiao Xiaoyue, raised his head and drank the last sip of medicine, put down the medicine bowl and followed her out.
"I'm leaving early tomorrow morning, let's just leave here."
Yueniang bowed her head, there were only the two of them in the empty alley, the servant girl was sent away several feet away, waiting eagerly, not daring to come.
Yueniang clenched the wooden stick tightly in her hand, and the dough was still not completely dry, so she trembled twice.
"You... sent me back just for money?"
Gu Er stood facing the wind, his clothes fluttering, and said lightly: "Of course not."
Yueniang was overjoyed, "Then why do you want to collect money?"
"It's strange what you're asking. How did you and I get here? Do you want me to sleep on the street?"
Yueniang choked, but her eyes widened as she choked, and then she squeezed her mouth again.
"Sleeping on the street? There are hundreds of rooms in my Shangshu's mansion, but it's not enough for you to live in?"
"You are Miss Qianjin, and I am a pariah who wanders the rivers and lakes. The status is very different, so it is really inconvenient to stay overnight."
Yueniang became angry and stepped forward to hold her hand.
"My best friend Liu Yueniang's handkerchief, who dares to say that he is a pariah?! See if I don't pull out his tongue!"
"Pull out the tongue" is a phrase that the nurse in charge often uses to intimidate the servants, and Yueniang has long heard her ears callused, so she uses it casually.
"There is no permanent banquet in the world, so what if we stay for a few more days? Let's just say goodbye."
After all, he walked away without looking back.
Yueniang stomped her feet behind her angrily, "After all, it's because I got the money and thought I was useless, so I was in a hurry to get rid of the relationship!"
Gu Er glanced at her lightly, "Let's just take it for granted."
"you!"
It was just an angry word, but I never thought that she would answer it!
"You! You go! If you go, never come back!"
Gu Er paused slightly but did not turn his head, leaving behind a bitter chuckle.
"The world is so big, where is my home, Gu Er? If I don't have a home, how can I come back?"
