Thinking of her marriage, Zhuo Yueling felt a headache again, she tightened the fox fur coat around her body, and wrapped herself in the white and fluffy fox fur wrap, looking very comfortable.
"If you want you to come, I've had enough. You little girls don't know how my family got here. You have used all kinds of coercion and temptation!"
She grabbed a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and put it in her mouth.
"Don't talk about that, Xiaoniao, have you bought the "Ballad of the Pardon Order" I want?" She immediately grabbed a girl next to her and asked in a hurry.
"What are you in a hurry for? Bring it, bring it, Miss Zhuo asked for something, do we dare not obey?"
The girl looked helpless, and motioned to the servants to take out a small blue bag from the carriage, and handed it to Zhuo Yueling.
After removing the wrapping a few times, there was a booklet with a pale yellow cover inside.
"I really don't know why you always like these strange novels. What's the point of fighting and killing? Why don't you find a good husband's family to marry and enjoy life in peace and stability."
The other girl said casually while eating.
"What do you know!" Zhuo Yueling liked these, glanced at them, and was immediately attracted by the illustrations above.
This is the most fringe area of the Plum Blossom Sect. The place where they live, apart from the guards who are said to be a master of the inner family, there is nothing special about them.
Because there are no guides, and the journey is long and dangerous, many people have never even been out of the town where they live. Not to mention the weirdness, but the ferocious wild animals are rare.
Since she was a child, Zhuo Yueling longed to leave the town and travel to the colorful, weird and magical places recorded in the books.
But with her three-legged cat kung fu, it goes without saying that her family absolutely does not allow it. So the only things that can satisfy her curiosity are these messy strange novels, but they are also very limited. After all, these days, the value of books is not small.
A few girls chatted casually, had some snacks, and drank some sake. Zhuo Yueling was very beautiful, and from time to time, some literati who came to recite poems and fight against each other came to strike up a conversation, but they were all shooed away by her.
The girls brought a total of eight servants, all of whom were good soldiers in the army. The guards are more than enough, not to be trifled with.
A few girls were eating, playing, talking and laughing, which was a good way to pass the time.
While talking and eating, out of the corner of Zhuo Yueling's eyes, she saw a blurry figure in the distance. The man ate from the beginning of them. So I stood there, neither reading nor doing anything else, just standing there quietly.
"Hey. Look at that man."
she whispered.
Several friends followed her gaze.
"What's wrong with that man? He's just a literati who came here to find inspiration, right?"
A girl said casually.
"But I've seen him standing there for a long time."
"Perhaps to get your attention?"
"I'm serious." Zhuo Yueling felt really tired talking to this group of girls in heat.
Although there was no result, Zhuo Yueling still remembered that person in her heart.
In the afternoon, they all had dinner and were about to board the carriage and go back. The rest of the people who came for the outing also got into the car and prepared to leave.
It was only then that Zhuo Yueling remembered that person before, and unconsciously looked over there.
At the slope, the man was still standing there motionless. It seems that even the posture has not changed.
"It's kind of weird."
A trace of curiosity suddenly rose in her heart.
"I'll go and have a look!"
Without waiting for her friends and servants to respond, she jumped out of the carriage and trot towards the man. The two servants behind hurried to catch up, both with bitter expressions on their faces.
"Miss, wait!"
"Wait for us, slip carefully!"
Zhuo Yueling had practiced external kung fu at any rate, and knew some footwork, so she rushed out in a few strokes, leaving the two behind her behind.
She was a dainty girl in a white fur coat, and she was actually faster than the two servants in full-on clothes.
She ran up to that person a few times before she could see clearly. This person was dressed in ordinary black clothes with no texture, loose and long, standing alone on the slope, with his hands behind his back. There is a faint temperament that is different from ordinary scholars.
She couldn't tell what kind of temperament it was, but she just felt that this person was dressed similarly to those teachers, but he had something more than those ordinary teachers.
"Hello."
She slowly stopped not far from this person and called out.
The man rolled his eyes and looked this way. It seemed that she had only just noticed her approaching, and the sound of her running over was obviously loud.
"Are you standing here alone? Is there something frustrating?" Zhuo Yueling asked curiously.
Unexpectedly, the man glanced at her, then turned his gaze away, ignored her, but continued to look at Wufeng Valley in the distance, as if his eyes could penetrate the fog in the valley and see the deepest scenery.
Zhuo Yueling was a little unhappy.
"Hey, are you deaf?"
"I'm not deaf." The man replied lightly. "Little girl, go back and forth from wherever you are."
Zhuo Yueling blinked her eyes and walked around the man.
"You're such a weirdo. Everyone likes me. Those men all look at me with bright eyes, and they can't pretend. You still drive me away?"
The weirdo was unmoved, completely unresponsive to her words.
At this moment, Zhuo Yueling's two servants rushed over, trying to persuade her to go back.
Zhuo Yueling was dragged back impatiently, and before leaving, she looked at the strange man curiously for a while.
Sure enough, the man didn't even change his posture, he still stood there motionless.
Back home in the carriage, she fell into a sea of marriage talks again, tired and bored, she brought a servant and a maid out by herself to relax.
She was bored, but she remembered what happened to Wufenggu again, that weird person emerged from her heart, and her curiosity suddenly arose again.
She is too boring, the town is too small, there is nothing new, and there are too few novels, so she has read it countless times.
Under such boredom, the matter of that weird person came to her mind again, she was bored, and she simply went to Wufeng Valley by herself with two servants.
"You're still here."
Seeing that the strange man was still there, Zhuo Yueling's eyes lit up. Seems to have finally found something of interest.
The man's expression was indifferent, he stood motionless on the spot, even closed his eyes, completely ignoring her intentions.
"You stand here by yourself, do you come here every day for so long?" Zhuo Yueling was extremely curious. She felt that her boring life had found a good adjustment.
"Can I treat you to eat? Tell me why you are standing here? Are you waiting for someone? Or did you fail the imperial examination?"
Zhuo Yueling walked around this person several times, muttering questions, but no one got an answer.
A servant and a maid next to him were a little scared, afraid of encountering some bad people. But they were all ordered by Zhuo Yueling not to come over. Can only guard on the side.
Zhuo Yueling felt unwilling after some inquiries but no results, but as the sky gradually darkened, she had no choice but to go back.
Before leaving, he sat in the carriage. She watched the man standing on the slope of the grass from a distance, and suddenly thought of it.
"That person won't be standing here even at night?"
Once this thought arises, it cannot be suppressed.
Her curiosity was immediately aroused, would that man stand there at night
A raging flame of curiosity flared up.
After returning to the mansion, she couldn't help it not long after, and found a time to go out at night, and secretly rushed towards Wufeng Valley.
All the way there, she was alone. Although she had practiced martial arts, she was still afraid of the dark. Lighting the lantern and carrying it, walking on the mountain road, I always feel that something is following me in all directions, but I dare not look back
I want to go back, but I am unwilling.
Curiosity continued to burn, but finally overwhelmed her fear, she quickened her pace, and soon left the city to the nearby Wufeng Valley.
In the middle of the night, there is peace in Wufeng Valley. Just the chirping of some bugs and the whirring of leaves in the wind.
From a distance, she came to the small slope with ease, and looked up, and sure enough, the man could faintly see the outline of a figure.
"Sure enough, it's still there!"
Her heart skipped a beat. I don't know why, but after seeing that person was still there, the fear in my heart suddenly disappeared.
Heaving a sigh of relief, she approached slowly.
"You're still here!"
she asked in a low voice.
The man rolled his eyes, glanced at her, and didn't reply.
Zhuo Yueling came out alone. There are no maids and servants with me, which is also bold.
"Aren't you afraid of being alone?"
The man said nothing, just stood there motionless.
"Why don't you speak, is your tongue sick?" Zhuo Yueling kept chattering around this person.
"What do you eat every day? Standing here all the time, do you go out to eat, and then find the original position and stand still? Isn't that fun? Aren't you afraid of wild animals?"
But no matter how she asked, this man always had an expression of ignoring her, and his face was indifferent.
Zhuo Yueling was curious for a while, then she became a little tired, seeing that the man still ignored her, she felt a little bit unwilling to go back.
For the next few days, she sneaked out at night to visit the man in Wufeng Valley, but she brought him food and drink for the next few times. There are also some incense blocks to repel insects and avoid animals.
For many days in a row, every time she went there, she would see the food and wine in their original positions.
"Why don't you eat?"
Finally one day, she asked that person a little unhappy.
"Go back." The man finally spoke again.
With his eyes closed, he couldn't see his face clearly at night, but he could faintly feel that his skin seemed to be trembling, and the muscles under the skin seemed to be tense, which was very weird.
"Why are you standing here alone?" Zhuo Yueling felt that it was a miracle that the other party stood alone in this wilderness and did not encounter any danger from wild animals for so long.
After all, although Wufeng Valley is safe, occasionally there will be some passing beasts.
This person has been standing here for so long, but nothing happened, which made her even more weird.
"I'm waiting for someone here."
The man replied lightly.
"Waiting for someone? Who are you waiting for?" Seeing that the other party finally spoke, Zhuo Yueling's long-standing curiosity was finally satisfied, her mood suddenly became cheerful, and she was a little excited to speak. (.)
