Xu Zhuchen hurriedly ran into the house, without stopping, he bumped into Gu Wenxu head-on.
"What's wrong with you! Can't you see the hot water in my hand?"
Xu Zhuchen held his head and apologized repeatedly, glanced into the room, and bowed his head respectfully: "Senior. I just learned that Ah Zhu woke up. I was anxious and bumped into Senior Gu. I'm really sorry." She said, and then Look into the house.
At dusk, a layer of light black and purple shrouded the top of the head, making the thin moonlight appear blurry. There are thick clouds, dim lights, and sparse bamboo shadows all over the garden. The chrysanthemums in the courtyard are blooming silently, one by one, elegant and quiet. The scenery was elegant and unique, but Xu Zhuchen had no intention of admiring it. He only wanted to see Xiao Mei's condition.
Gu Wenxu knew that she was happy, so he didn't care too much. He nodded and said "hum", then turned sideways and let her in.
The curtains in the room have been partially lifted, and only the layers of black and purple gauze are still draped in front of the bed. Xu Zhuchen opened the gauze curtain, but before he could speak, he was hit hard by the hand stretched out from the curtain: "Why did a scoundrel come into the house?"
Xu Zhuchen felt a little amused. He turned his wrist, held Xiao Mei's hand in his palm, and pulled it outward. Xiao Mei didn't know where the strength came from, and he hooked Xu Zhuchen's hand and clasped it in. Xu Zhuchen never thought that she was so strong, and he was unprepared, but was pulled into the curtain by her and threw himself on the embroidery bed.
The room is filled with fragrance, and the embroidery bed is surrounded by curtains, which just fits the incense burner in the curtains. Xu Zhuchen only felt that he had thrown himself into a wild bamboo forest that was wet after the rain. In the middle of the bamboo forest, there was a small open space that was not wet by the rain. A small stove was burning quietly there, filled with dried osmanthus flowers.
Rich, sweet, warm and soft aroma. Xu Zhuchen lowered his head and leaned on Xiao Mei's neck and took a deep breath, causing Xiao Mei to hide around and burst out laughing.
"You are said to be a scumbag, but are you really a scumbag? Hahahaha, it's so itchy, um, stop it, hahahaha..."
Xu Zhuchen found it interesting in his heart, and scratched the itchy flesh on Xiao Mei's side with both hands. The two of them rolled around, messing up the originally flat goose down bed. It wasn't until Gu Wenxu coughed hard outside the door that the two of them calmed down a little and helped each other sit up.
Gu Wenxu's voice came through from outside the curtain, and it sounded like he was trying to control his temper: "Hey, you two, listen up, I don't care what you are doing, when I come in later, make the bed tidy for me. "
After she finished speaking, she walked away angrily. Xiao Mei and Xu Zhuchen looked at each other and couldn't help but chuckle.
After sitting up, the two stopped tickling each other. Xu Zhuchen didn't see any obvious wounds on Xiao Mei's body, and saw that she was in good spirits. Then he relaxed a little and asked, "Is there anything else that feels uncomfortable about you now? Your situation looked a little dangerous just now. How was Senior Gu cured?"
Xiao Mei tied up the scattered middle coat and said, glaring at Xu Zhuchen with a smile: "I have nothing to do, I just almost made you angry." She put on her coat, pulled Xu Zhuchen out of bed, and started to talk. I immediately tidied up the embroidery bed.
"Are you really okay?" Xu Zhuchen picked up a blanket and threw it on a chair aside. He kept lamenting that the layers of curtains were really obstructive. "I tried to wake you up just now, but you were unconscious. It was like Entered the sea of consciousness.”
Xiao Mei pulled up a corner of the sheet and straightened it, then directed Xu Zhuchen to move the pillows on the bed, and then frowned slightly: "To be honest, I seem to remember that I seemed to have sunk into the sea of consciousness, but after I woke up, , there is no such tired feeling as escaping from the sea of consciousness." As she spoke, she quickly smoothed the sheets with her hands until she reached the end of the bed before adding, "However, I have no impression at all how Senior Gu was cured. . When I woke up, it seemed that senior was already calmly carrying hot water and about to go out."
Xu Zhuchen suddenly remembered that when he entered, Gu Wenxu went out with hot water. She thought to herself that she came really quickly, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Since you woke up, you are very lucky. Speaking of which, I was walking in the back alley just now, and I happened to see a few little girls dressed up beautifully, like I’m going to attend the Lantern Festival temple fair. After thanking my seniors later, let’s go out and have a look?”
As soon as Xiao Mei raised his hand, Xu Zhuchen threw the blanket in his hand over. The two of them stretched out the blanket, and Xiao Mei's voice flew up and down on the blanket: "If there is a celebration tonight, the nearby hotels must be fully booked. If we try to make a reservation at this time, I'm afraid there will be no vacancies. How about that?" Let’s discuss with the seniors and see if we can stay one night.”
As she spoke, she saw that there was an uneven spot, so she kicked off her shoes and climbed onto the bed to straighten them.
Xu Zhuchen nodded in admiration, knowing that he was causing trouble by doing so, so he obediently sat down on the rosewood armchair beside the bed, and threw whatever Xiao Mei wanted to her. She stretched her body and felt that she had just taken a shower and felt so comfortable all over her body that the fatigue she had accumulated over the past few days had gone. Feeling comfortable, he spoke a little lazily: "Ah, if you stay here for one night tonight, the task given by Li Fenglong will be completed. When we get the intelligence report tomorrow, what should we do first?"
Xiao Mei looked up at her, took the quilt she threw over, and couldn't help laughing: "Why, are you so lazy that you want me to make up my mind?" After saying this, she thought about it and made a plan, "I'll collect it tomorrow morning. After receiving the tip, let’s take a look at Miss Luo Zhi’s movements. From your description, she is a fledgling girl. If she is still in Yuan Palace, we must find her first no matter what."
Xu Zhuchen nodded and continued her words: "Although this child is immature, she is also smart. I taught her a few moves of Collapse Cloud Palm. Although she is not able to compete with the powerful, self-protection should not be a big problem." She After a pause, he groped for a while from the pile of pillows behind him, turned out the agarwood pillow, and carefully handed it to Xiao Mei, "After Xiao Luo Zhi, he went to find the fake coachman."
Xiao Mei nodded, pressed the pillow on the corner of the folded sheet, and smiled with two tiger teeth: "You don't say it, but you are actually holding your breath in your heart, right? The dignified Meichuan Xu Zhuchen was deceived by this driver who didn't know the details. , and count money for others." After she finished speaking, she quickly caught the various pillows that Xu Zhuchen threw over with a smile, and arranged the pillows in an orderly manner, "Don't worry, I won't stop you. Exchange fists and kicks with him.”
The two of them packed up the bedding, but Xiao Mei was the only one who was tired. Xu Zhuchen looked a little embarrassed, so Xiao Mei pinched her temples with a smile and said with a smile: "I went to the celebration. If you treat me to whatever I want to eat, it will be even."
The two of them changed out of their thin shawls and put on wind-proof robes. After making an agreement with Gu Wenxu, they walked out. The night breeze blew away the layers of clouds in the sky, and the clear moonlight fell on the two of them like clear water. There was a bright light in the courtyard, the wind blew the bamboo leaves, causing a rustle, and the chrysanthemums and osmanthus were fragrant and fragrant. Under the moonlight, they added a sense of silence, which was really mesmerizing.
Xu Zhuchen was wearing a fiery red laminated autumn robe, but Xiao Mei was wearing a dark black embroidered rabbit or suede leather-lined cloak. The moonlight was shining down, and he was worried about whether she was cold. Poor Xiao Mei hadn't even taken a few steps, but his forehead was covered with sweat and his face was flushed.
When the two walked to the celebration, they realized that it was actually a fireworks show. Thinking about it, people in Yuangong mine the cemetery all the year round, and naturally they dug out all kinds of ores. Most of these ores cannot be used to make tools or utensils. They are ground into powder and added to fireworks, but they are colorful. It’s no wonder that another major industry here is the export of fireworks.
When the two arrived, the fireworks display had already come to an end. The people on the edge of the Yuanshui River were already sparse, the vendors had almost dispersed, and the fireworks on the other side of the river were set off one after another. Xu Zhuchen looked at the river bank for a while, and her head and face were covered with ashes - others couldn't see it, but she had white hair, and the ashes fell on it, which was particularly conspicuous. Xiao Mei touched a layer of dust and scratched her nose with a smile, causing her to wipe dust on her face. The two of them laughed and laughed for a while. They did not watch the scenery on the river bank, but walked along the river bank slowly towards Qingshi Mountain with lanterns in hand.
"When I was young, my father once took me to Yuangong once, just to watch the fireworks." Xu Zhuchen said, holding a lantern with bamboo shadows painted on it, "At that time, it was the first time I saw such a beautiful thing—— Blazing, gorgeous, burning fiercely in the night sky, and turning into ashes at the most beautiful moment. Don’t make fun of me for not being able to say other words. In fact, I have forgotten how beautiful those fireworks are, but I have been fascinated by that beauty. It captured my soul."
As she spoke, another red and orange firework bloomed in the sky. Xu Zhuchen raised his head and saw the golden trails of the fireworks falling towards the river. He couldn't help but sigh: "It's really beautiful."
The lamp in Xiao Mei's hand was blown by the river wind, and the plum blossoms on the lampshade were dazzling. She couldn't see the brilliance of the fireworks, but Xu Zhuchen was willing to describe every color and every spark to her in detail.
The two of them walked all the way to the top of the bluestone mountain. She took off her hood and looked at the people on the riverside in the distance - the figures were so blurry that Xiao Mei could only see some moving light groups, either static or moving, laughing or talking. Either hand in hand or walking alone, amidst the dazzling fireworks blooming one after another, they have all become part of the scenery.
Something deep in her heart sighed softly, and a certain scene in her memory came to mind. Xiao Mei turned around subconsciously and couldn't help but laugh when he felt Xu Zhuchen beside him who was watching the fireworks attentively.
"Zhu Chen——" she said softly.
Before she finished speaking, an extremely beautiful firework suddenly rose from the sky. That was proof of the end of this conference, an announcement of the end of an era, and it took away everyone's attention in an instant. Brilliant fireworks take off into the sky, brilliant golden colors bloom, and countless gorgeous sparks burst out from the light cluster, like a grand rain of light. Xiao Mei and Xu Zhuchen stood in that ball of light and fire, with only each other left. Their eyes were illuminated by the flames, and their hands were held together.
