The sound was particularly jarring on the winter trail.
Cang Lin froze on the spot, not daring to look at his master's face, let alone make any sound.
There was no other sound under the cold wind. Only the pitiful wooden box and the bracelet falling to the ground were reminders of what had just happened.
Song Jinyin didn't hit it directly on the stone pavement. She didn't want to ruin the thing, so she missed it a bit when throwing it out.
She thought that after such an incident, the man would wake up again and walk away.
In the end, whether he took her back directly or lost his patience is irrelevant. We can just end it at once.
Song Jinyin raised her lowered eyes slightly and looked at the man who stood motionless at the door of her courtyard.
Seeing that there was no anger on his face as she imagined, only confusion mixed with sadness, Song Jinyin suddenly smiled.
What does he have to be sad about? Compared with what he did before, these things can only be said to be not painful.
After all, what she threw away was just a box, but what he once threw away was her life.
After coming back to her senses, Song Jinyin spoke again and said it again.
"Don't come to me again, I don't want to see you."
It didn't take long for the trail to become empty.
The gloomy sky seemed to be joining in the fun, and snow began to fall for no apparent reason.
Unlike the heavy snow in Kyoto, the white snow in the small town in the south was soft and soft. He didn't react until a little bit fell on Pei Yanzhou's dark robe.
"She didn't bring anything to cover the snow."
Just a few words have already taken a lot of effort from Pei Yanzhou.
Cang Lin immediately understood what his master meant, went into the courtyard, took an umbrella, and hurriedly followed.
Only Pei Yanzhou was left standing there.
He looked at the closed wooden door and thought of his rudeness and anger yesterday, as well as the helpless Song Jinyin under his imprisonment. His heart hurt so much that he couldn't breathe.
The eyes of yesterday were decaying little by little in front of him, and were instead filled with despair.
Until she became cruel and chose to hurt herself to get rid of him.
At that moment, Pei Yanzhou knew that Song Jinyin must have buried hatred in her heart. No matter what method he used, he would probably no longer have a place in her heart.
Pei Yanzhou turned his head slightly and looked at the wooden box in the corner.
He hurt her again, and this time, he was so wrong.
The convergence and changes he thought were all just illusions.
His possession of Song Jinyin was still engraved in his bones. He didn't even think of asking her first whether the appearance of the jade pendant in her room had anything to do with her.
Pei Yanzhou didn't know how long he stood there. He didn't know whether the stiffness in his body was due to that memory or the cold wind blowing.
Until someone not far away opened the door of his small courtyard and stepped out of the courtyard wrapped in a thick coat.
"Are you here to look for someone?"
Perhaps seeing him standing at the end without moving for a long time, the middle-aged man became defensive.
Now is the lively time, every household has many good things saved over the year, and there are bound to be bandits who are planning to do so.
Pei Yanzhou came back to his senses and looked towards the voice.
Just this look made the person who asked the question subconsciously stunned.
He had never seen such a person before. Just that stern face made him feel excited and full of anxiety, and the chaos that had been born in the winter suddenly became clear.
It is impossible for a bandit to look like this, but a rich nobleman should not appear in such a shabby place.
"you you......"
The middle-aged man couldn't say a word clearly for a long time, which even attracted the attention of the women in the courtyard.
"What are you doing? Just wait and see, if you don't hurry up, everything will be sold out by the time you get there...is this?"
"I'm looking for someone, but I went the wrong way."
Pei Yanzhou thought of Song Jinyin's daily interactions with these people. Although they were not many, her voice was clear and full of smiles every time, so he suppressed his coldness and replied.
But there was only this sentence. No matter how many words he said, he would have no thoughts and little patience.
After saying this, Pei Yanzhou turned around and didn't look at the couple again. He just picked up the wooden box and bracelet on the withered grass and walked out of the trail step by step.
The fine snow suddenly fell quickly, and white patches fell on his body bit by bit, making his whole body feel a little desolate.
When the couple saw him walking past like this, they couldn't bear it, but when they thought of the aura of this man standing there just now, and their thoughts of asking him to come in for a cup of hot tea, they suddenly dispersed.
I'm afraid this person is not easy to mess with, and he doesn't look like he would come here, so it would be better to have less contact with him.
The wooden door closed again.
The middle-aged man returned to the courtyard and raised his hand to wipe the rain and snow from his face.
"I'll wait until that person leaves before I go out. Otherwise, I'll feel a little panicked and feel uneasy."
"Don't tell me yet, I always think this person looks familiar."
"Come on."
The middle-aged man rolled his eyes at the woman angrily and sneered: "How can you remember such a person after meeting him? Besides, the people you deal with are not the only people in the alleys like us who can know each other." Would such a noble master live in our alley?"
The woman was blocked by the head of the house, and any words she wanted to argue were stuck in her throat.
It was just because it was hard to forget such a noble person once they met, that she had a vague idea that she had seen him somewhere.
The middle-aged man waited for a long time before reopening the door of his courtyard, wrapped in his coat and walked out. The woman was waiting for him at the door to go away. When she turned around, she saw the door of Sun's courtyard half open, and there seemed to be some movement inside.
She only glanced at it and then looked away, but the next moment, the woman suddenly patted herself.
She remembered.
On the day when Madam Sun sent the lanterns, she vaguely caught sight of Madam Sun's husband, who was with several of his brothers. Among them, the most eye-catching one seemed to be the one she had just seen.
He didn't say much, just stood alone.
It's just that the door closed too quickly that day, and she only took a quick glance.
Now that I think about it, there are probably not many people who can have such momentum.
"I'm afraid this person is the leader of the Sun family. I don't know if he has been found. We should have invited someone in to warm ourselves just now!"
The woman muttered, turned around and closed the courtyard door as she spoke, "I'll see Madam Sun when I turn around. I need to ask her again, but don't delay their family's affairs."
Nowadays, there are more people living here and it is much more lively than before, so the woman has become more enthusiastic.
Especially the two newly moved families, they all seemed to have down-to-earth and kind-hearted owners, especially the little girl from the innermost family, which made her feel happy at the first sight.
She looks very good, and looks quiet and well-behaved.
If the child in the family were older, she would really like to take him home to be her daughter-in-law!
The woman couldn't help but sigh, then rubbed her hands and hurried into the kitchen to light a fire.
...
Song Jinyin didn't know that she was being praised again. She walked while picking up the areas on the ground where the snow had not yet fallen.
I bought a few pieces of jujube cake and made some sesame cakes. My face was as calm as ever. I looked at it without remembering what happened just now.
Only when she saw Cang Lin following her, her expression changed slightly for a moment.
But she just glanced at him, then glanced at the umbrella in his hand, turned around, and walked to a crowded place.
"Miss Jinyin!"
This time Song Jinyin didn't stop, didn't even hesitate, and just walked her own way.
She didn't answer, so Cang Lin couldn't hold an umbrella and walk beside her, so he had no choice but to follow her until he saw her walking into the embroidery workshop step by step.
Look at this, there is really no turning back.
The sky was a little gloomier again. Cang Lin called the Xuanwei who were guarding the place, told them to protect the people inside, and left the place in a hurry.
But this time, Kurin was indeed right.
Whether it's the food prepared for lunch or the medicine newly prepared by Doctor Mu.
Even if she pretended that she wouldn't accept it and was waiting outside, the girl inside never gave in.
The things sent in by the trustee were sent out again, and even the pills brought in by Lianxiang's hands and the medicinal diet in the name of anti-fetal were sent back to Cang Lin intact.
She takes it seriously and wants nothing.
"Has the girl ever relaxed even a little bit?"
Cang Lin asked again. Although he knew that the answer was what he thought, he still wanted to find another hope.
But Lianxiang in front of her shook her head.
Even she, a girl who had never experienced anything between a man and a woman, could see Song Ci's determination to draw a clear line with others. She thought that the girl was probably really giving up and did not want to have any more entanglements with this noble man.
"How is this going?"
A voice came from far away, interrupting their words.
Lianxiang's brows were filled with sadness. Before she completely handed the things back to the man in front of her, she was attracted by the voice.
After seeing the person clearly, Lianxiang suddenly woke up.
"Master Lin."
Cang Lin saw Lin Jingxiu and raised his hand to say hello, but saw him raise his hand, glanced at the medicinal food, and frowned: "They are all returned? Are you really not leaving any room this time?"
Cang Lin shook his head, his expression a little heavy.
"In the past, girls would keep Dr. Mu's medicine, and at most they would use golden beans as medical fees to draw a clear line between themselves and their master. But today..."
He even moved out the reason for raising the baby, but failed to persuade the people inside to leave the things behind.
Even the right and wrong that she originally didn't want to be involved in, now let others speculate, she doesn't care at all, she just doesn't want anything.
"That's all, I'll go in and take a look first."
Lianxiang was standing quietly on one side, her mind filled with the words "Jindouzi" and "Master". When she suddenly heard this sentence, she suddenly raised her head.
If he wanted to enter the embroidery workshop, wouldn't she be able to take a few more glances at him?
Lin Jingxiu didn't know what she was thinking. When he looked at her, his smile was like a spring breeze, with a bit of gentleness, "I would like to meet Miss Song Ci and order some things at your embroidery workshop. Could you please lead the way?"
"No trouble, no trouble."
Lianxiang pinched her sleeves nervously, her heart beating a little fast.
