Breath came, but Rong Luoyun could only hear humming. After Huo Linfeng said that, he let go of him, his expression was neither salty nor dull, his eyebrows were frowned, and he looked inscrutable.
He opened his mouth to ask, but stopped after thinking about it, it was useless to ask at this moment.
Can't ask, but can guess. The two walked towards Shen Bi Hall, Rong Luoyun thought to himself, could it be that they were scolding him? Or praise? He ignored the pain and numbness in his ears, forgot to step on the shadow, and kept pondering until the entrance of the main hall.
They were the last to return, and the rest were having breakfast at the table. After running around all night very hungry, Huo Linfeng sat down first, and then pulled away the stool for Rong Luoyun. Unexpectedly, the little deaf man bypassed him and ran towards Duan Huaike.
"Brother!" Rong Luoyun called out.
The voice was fierce and loud, and it choked two porridge drinkers and one pancake eater, and Diao Yuliang almost stuffed the chicken leg up his nostrils. Duan Huaike was also taken aback, and asked, "What's the matter?"
Rong Luoyun pointed to his ears and made a "six" gesture. Duan Huaike understood, got up and went into the inner hall to get the medicine box, a row of silver needles, to give Rong Luoyun the pain relief.
Everyone watched while eating, only to see Rong Luoyun sitting upright while Duan Huaike inserted a few needles into his head and neck. Sometimes he cried out in pain, sometimes he dodged, and what's more, he raised his face and begged Duan Huaike to be lighter.
Huo Linfeng stared intently, the porridge was cold and the cake was hard, and he didn't bother to eat it. Suddenly, Rong Luoyun looked at him, his eyes were full of arrogance and cunning, very much like the naughty boy Shangfang Jiewa.
This is because he concealed what he said, blatant revenge, and blatant provocation.
He avoided looking at Duan Huaike, the Grand Mistress was gentle and patient, it was really annoying to watch.
After the injection, the pain was suppressed, and Rong Luoyun ate with peace of mind. He took a bowl of porridge, glanced at the person opposite through the cup and plate, and looked again, wanting to eat the pickled melon in front of him. Huo Linfeng was jealous, took a few small plates, and handed them over with a wink.
The palm rested on the bottom of the dish, and Rong Luoyun touched the back of the opponent's hand when he took it, and the people around the table seemed to be in the dark. He didn't dare to toss anymore, buried his head in eating, and gradually recovered his hearing during the period.
After dinner, everyone discussed the matter of capturing the thief, and the major disciples reported the movement in the area. Diao Yuliang said: "I saw a dark shadow in the south of the city. I was far away and did not catch up. It was probably at Yin time."
The humming in my ears gradually faded away, Rong Luoyun said: "Last night I sneaked into the center of the city and used six Sanskrit voices to detect changes in the north of the city, but it was actually the other party's voice, and when I probed again, I heard what the fourth brother said."
Diao Yuliang asked: "If the second brother goes from the center of the city to the north of the city, then the flower picker will go from the north to the south at the same time, wouldn't it be faster than the second brother?" He shook his head, "It's impossible to travel in all directions."
Everyone was suspicious, Rong Luoyun said: "So I guess, there may be more than one flower picker."
Everyone was startled now, the flower pickers in Jianghu have always been alone, and they have never heard of a gang. Just as they were discussing, a disciple rushed into the hall and clasped his fists to report: "Palace Master, the daughter of the Liu family, the third household in the ferry, has suffered."
Rong Luoyun stood up abruptly: "When did it happen?"
The disciple replied: "In half an hour, my body is still not completely cold."
At dawn, people dispersed, and every family relaxed their vigilance... Rong Luoyun immediately ordered: "Du Zhong, go and arrange for the disciples to patrol, go!"
Huo Linfeng did not move: "Palace Master, disciples are human beings and need to rest." If they patrolled day and night, within three days, all the disciples must be exhausted. He said: "I propose to set up a temporary gathering point in the city, so that the girls in the city can gather in one place to take refuge, so as to facilitate centralized protection."
This idea is very good, everyone has no objection, and immediately proceeded to do it.
Taking advantage of the chaos, Huo Linfeng quietly moved to Rong Luoyun's side, and raised his hand to stroke his back. Rong Luoyun turned his face to look at him, his anxious expression eased a bit.
He whispered: "Don't worry, there will always be a way."
I don't know if it's because the palm is too hot or the voice is too deep, Rong Luoyun's uneasiness was comforted little by little. He tended to calm down, and analyzed: "The refuge is a temporary solution, not the root cause. It's okay for the flower pickers to hold back for a while, but the girls can't hide forever."
What's more, if the flower picker went to do evil elsewhere, wouldn't it be more difficult to catch
Huo Linfeng said: "I often hunt game on Zhuosha Island, set traps, and sprinkle bait beside the traps, so I don't need to worry about it."
Rong Luoyun understood immediately: "You mean, to lure the flower picker to show up and then capture him?" His eyes sparkled, and then went out in an instant, "But people are different from animals. Animals are mothers when they give milk. What about people? …”
This hesitation disturbed Huo Linfeng's stillness, so he cursed secretly, this guy is really innocent and ignorant. He got closer and said in a low voice: "Do you still need to think about it? Do what you like."
Rong Luoyun rolled his eyes, of course he knew what he liked, but the flower picker's favorite was "sex", whose daughter would take that risk. While arguing endlessly, a carriage drove into the Extraordinary Palace and stopped far away under the Miao Cang Terrace.
He looked and saw that the groom was a servant from Chaomulou.
The plain hand lifts the curtain, a piece of light yellow gauze floats out, the embroidered shoes step on the stool, and the skirt drags the floor. Rong Duanyu stepped out of the carriage, wearing a jingle bell without a ring, like a cloud, with only a jasmine flower in his temple hair. Looking up, the unpainted face is a little pale, but the sad look is even more touching.
Rong Luoyun stepped out of the threshold: "Sister, why are you here?" He ran to greet her, hugged her and returned to the hall.
Rong Duanyu sighed, everyone who saw the problem was there, and said: "People are in panic, Chaomulou is rarely deserted, I'll come and see what can be done."
After hesitating for a moment, Rong Luoyun relayed Huo Linfeng's proposal.
Duan Huaike nodded, it seemed feasible to turn passive into active. Diao Yuliang was gearing up, as if the flower picker was approaching. "It sounds like a good strategy, but it's difficult." Rong Luoyun poured cold water on her, "Every household is in panic, who would let their daughter take risks? Besides, no one can trust the Extraordinary Palace."
The hall fell into silence, and suddenly, Rong Duanyu said: "How about I come?"
The oiran of Chaomulou, the first-class beauty of Xiganling, is even more trustworthy in the extraordinary palace. As soon as he asked, Rong Luoyun said in shock: "No! I won't allow it!" He stared at Rong Duanyu angrily, "Don't even think about it!"
Siblings and siblings whose blood is thicker than water are naturally unwilling, and everyone is also unwilling to allow Duan Yu to take risks. After a while of silence, Rong Duanyu walked to Rong Luoyun's side, patted the fine dust on his shoulders, wiped his face with a handkerchief, and stroked the ponytail on the back of his head.
This kind of consolation like loving cats and dogs made Rong Luoyun feel more comfortable, but he still didn't let go.
Rong Duanyu said: "You have many masters, what are you afraid of?" She looked at Huo Linfeng and took two steps closer, "You came up with the idea, so you must have a perfect plan in mind?"
Huo Linfeng did, if he wanted to attract flower pickers, he had to attract their attention first. He had seen it in Saibei before, the girl from Xiaochun Terrace threw hydrangea balls to attract visitors, and it was so lively back and forth. According to this plan, set up an ambush in Chaomu Building in advance, and wait for the flower picker to appear late at night, and take it down in one fell swoop.
After all, he watched everyone's reaction, nodding their heads, thinking about it, only the Second Palace Mistress had a needle in his eyes. This is to blame him, I wish I could kick him and beat him, but fortunately it is in Shenbi Palace, if it is in Wuming Residence, I'm afraid I will destroy the lamp to vent my anger.
Rong Luoyun snorted coldly: "Everyone knows that Huakui is my sister, only fools fall for it."
Huo Linfeng said: "There is a saying called 'wealth and wealth are sought in danger', so is beauty." After a pause, he speculated in his heart, "Perhaps because the oiran is the sister of the palace lord, the flower picker will definitely show up."
The world is so big, why did the thief only frame Rong Luoyun? It was fine in Xiaoyang City two years ago, but sneaking into Xiganling now is clearly a provocation.
After discussing for a long time, everyone agreed with Huo Linfeng's solution. Rong Luoyun was alone and helpless, and dispersed after the discussion, and was the first to leave Shen Bi Hall. Huo Linfeng raised his foot and wanted to chase, but he had no choice but to hold back in front of his sister, pretending to be a gentleman.
Rong Duanyu said with a smile: "I must have gone back to chew honey, I have been angry like this since I was a child."
When Huo Linfeng heard this, his teeth were broken because of honey, and he planned to send some dried pears over. Stepping out of the Shenbi Palace, Rong Duanyu walked with him, and when they reached the small street, there were fewer people, and the other party said: "Young master, who once spent 4000 taels in Chaomulou, how come you come to the extraordinary palace as a disciple?"
This gentle questioning was really sudden, Huo Linfeng concealed his guilt, and calmly replied: "The world is happy. In the past, I spent a lot of money. Today I serve my life faithfully. Maybe I will return to my hometown tomorrow. There is no reason, it all depends on happiness."
Rong Duanyu said: "You are very chic." Looking into the distance, she could vaguely see the outline of Wumingju, "I am very grateful that you saved my brother's life."
Huo Linfeng took advantage of the situation and said: "Then please don't tell the Palace Master what happened that night. If the Palace Master knows that I asked his sister to sing on stage, he will have to draw his sword and cut me off."
Rong Duanyu covered his face with a low smile, nodded in agreement, and then walked forward.
Walking to the nameless residence, there was a bobcat lying at the door, which was actually tied to the door with a rope. There was a lot of rubble in the yard, and a smooth path was swept away from the door to the eaves. She walked lightly along the corridor to the window of the bedroom, and looked down, the younger brother was leaning on the couch eating milk cake.
Rong Luoyun was upset, and when he came back, he saw the bobcat spying on the fish, so he caught and tied him up so as not to bump into Rong Duanyu. Another path was opened, fearing that the gravel would hurt Duanyu's feet, he poured tea, put a soft pillow in the chair, and lit the room with hummus, so he was busy.
The sweet custard comforted him, and he was eating deliciously, but someone grabbed his braid from the window. "Good brother, don't be angry." Rong Duanyu leaned over, "Save your appetite, Du Zhong said to bring you dried pears."
Rong Luoyun paused, and Li Gan sent him away? Thinking of this, he put down the custard in his hand. He gradually regained his composure. It was his sister who was in danger. If he continued to be so uncooperative, the other party might be even more worried.
"Sister." He called out, "You haven't come for a long time."
Rong Duanyu let go of the ponytail and stroked the back of Rong Luoyun's head, like a sister and a mother. She turned her face and looked around, there were red carp and lotus in the vat, and there were gauze lanterns and a colorful swallow kite hanging in the room. All kinds of signs showed that Rong Luoyun was happier than before, so she happily snapped her fingers.
Rong Luoyun didn't ask himself, as if showing off: "It's all given to me by Eucommia." That's not enough, staring at the pattern on the lacquer box, he babbled, "He saved my life, he healed my wounds by destroying his internal energy, and returned it to me." Dressed and haired, we also roasted rabbits. He also, and... "
Dazed for a moment, showing off changed, becoming sticky: "He even wiped my mouth."
Rong Duanyu was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know how to respond for a long time, so it's nothing else, why did he ask him to wipe his mouth? She thought about it, and finally choked out a sentence: "What's the use of giving you the handkerchief, I wipe it myself later."
Rong Luoyun said: "I gave the veil to Du Zhong, you can embroider another one for me."
So righteous and confident, Rong Duanyu was speechless, and poked his finger at the head. She thought to herself, is it appropriate for the man's family to give a handkerchief? Would it be better to send swords and daggers? Thinking unsuccessfully, the left and right have been sent, let it go.
In the early summer afternoon, Rong Luoyun moved to sit under the eaves, and gave up the bedroom to Rong Duanyu to rest. Having nothing to do, he grabbed a handful of gravel and threw it into the tank, splashing water. Amusing himself, he caught a glimpse of someone outside the door from the corner of his eye, so he swung his wrist and threw a throw at him.
Huo Linfeng caught it without pain in his palms, and seemed to have calmed down, he was reluctant to hit him hard. Stepping under the eaves, he bent his knees and squatted in front of Rong Luoyun, and handed him a bag of dried pears.
Rong Luoyun played around for a while, reached out to grab it, but found that his hand was covered with dust. Huo Linfeng picked up a piece and handed it to his mouth in broad daylight, a little embarrassed, so he turned his face away.
Sigh, with his fingertips empty, Rong Luoyun took the pear slice away.
The lynx has a bird in its mouth, and the bird has food in its mouth, they all look like that.
He chewed, the mouth was sweet, three parts thick-faced, and six parts blushed. The futon burned like a buttock, and ran to clean its hands. When he came back and sat down, he turned over old accounts: "What did you whisper in my ear in the morning?"
Huo Linfeng said: "Arranging you, ordering me around all day, attracting hatred."
Rong Luoyun didn't believe it, and said: "Then I'll just order others around from now on, hire a girl, and give away handkerchiefs in addition to the moon silver."
Huo Linfeng changed his words: "Praise you, I'm ashamed to say it, don't make things difficult for me."
The more he didn't believe it, Rong Luoyun couldn't pry this mouth open, and he was a little frustrated. Huo Linfeng watched, his heart soft-hearted, and promised: "I'll tell the Palace Master later, and I will tell the Palace Master sooner or later."
Rong Luoyun was ignorant and silently wrote down the guarantee. Later, Huo Linfeng's legs became numb from squatting, and he pulled another futon to sit beside him. This futon reminded him of the ancient temple at the foot of the mountain, the one where they knelt when they worshiped Buddha.
At that time, I made a confession, and only after I confessed did I make a wish.
He suddenly asked: "Palace Master, what wish did you make on the night of worshiping Buddha?"
Rong Luoyun sighed, feeling that things were contrary to his wishes, and replied quietly: "What I promised is... the people live in peace." After speaking, he asked, "What about you?"
Huo Linfeng was slightly stunned: "There is no war in peace."
He couldn't help but hold Rong Luoyun's hand, there was no injury to see, he needed warmth from the cold, he just wanted to hold it firmly. It seems that they are connected at this moment, they have no confrontation, and they fit together like a pair of old friends. Rong Luoyun also held him tightly, so that the palm lines fit together.
For a long time, we were quiet with each other, only the wind came to stir up the clouds.
Behind the small window, Rong Duanyu frowned strangely.
