Bright Spring

Zhu Gaoxu couldn't express his feelings when he thought that he was already a majestic county king, but he was so embarrassed.This trip was too damn risky, he thought to himself that he had been very careful, yet he still ended up in such a situation...

Chapter 1 Half a steamed bun

It is easy to find that the second floor was built temporarily after the tile-roofed house was repaired. When a person sits on it, he can reach the beams and tiled roof as long as he straightens up.

There is no window, and it is very dark even in broad daylight. Fortunately, there is a small skylight between the overlapping tiles. After Zhu Gaoxu's eyes adjusted for a while, he was able to dimly see the scene on the next floor.

Not only was the place low, it was small.There was a layer of straw against the wall, and a narrow straw mat on it, which took up almost the whole place.Pillows and a gray coarse quilt were neatly placed on the straw mat.In addition, there is only a rough wooden table at the end of the bed, with several folded clothes on it, covered with a piece of cloth.

Zhu Gaoxu only took a few glances, and immediately realized that although the second floor was small and narrow, it was clean and tidy.

He held his breath and listened to the movement below, but he didn't hear anything unusual.After a long time, the searchers should probably leave the street.

Zhu Gaoxu was about to wait a little longer, so he went downstairs to take a look, but at this moment he heard voices coming from below.

A woman with a very rough voice said, "Did you bring the bedding in the morning? You have been sleeping upstairs for the past two nights. The street is not clean these days. Master told us to guard the shop for a few days."

"Yes." Xiao Ni's voice said.

The woman's voice said again: "It's better for you to stay here, so you don't get beaten."

Now Zhu Gaoxu didn't dare to go downstairs without authorization, and the posture of sitting bent over was uncomfortable, so he simply lay down on the straw mat, his feet could only be stretched under the wooden case to lie upright.He thought, if there is a chance, Xiao Ni should call him.

Unexpectedly, the light was getting darker and darker, and it was almost dark, but Xiao Ni still didn't call him.From time to time, the sound of two people talking could be heard downstairs.

Zhu Gaoxu was thinking, Zheng He and others probably had taken Du Qianrui out of the city, and were waiting for him at the inn outside Jiangdongmen, they must be very worried now.

But it seems that he will definitely not be able to get out of the city gate today.

He could only stay in this narrow place, not daring to move, even turning over cautiously, feeling very depressed.At this time, I was also hungry, and I didn't have time to eat at noon, and I didn't have time to eat dinner... He couldn't help thinking that he had ordered a large table of delicious dishes at noon, but he didn't even taste a single chopstick!After tossing all day, he is now so hungry that he swallows his saliva.

The candle light from the hole in the floor board came up, and it was already night.After an unknown amount of time, the woman's voice was heard saying: "What are you doing with a basin?"

Xiao Ni's voice said: "The cigarette ash is heavy, wipe the mat with water."

The woman's voice said: "I'm going to put out the candles in a while, and the master will tell me if I burn too much."

"Hmm." Xiao Ni responded.

Then there was the sound of loose "jiga" from the stairs, first a wooden basin was handed up and placed on the wooden board, and then a rough porcelain cup was also handed up, and a person quickly appeared at the entrance.The candlelight was dim, Zhu Gaoxu stayed in the dark for a long time, he had adapted to the light, and immediately saw that it was Xiaoni.

Xiao Ni's eyes were big and bright. He glanced into the darkness and climbed up silently.

Zhu Gaoxu moved carefully towards the wall, but the place was too narrow.Originally, the mat was very cramped, and he was tall and burly, even if he lay on his side, he couldn't make much room.

After Xiao Ni came up, there was almost no place to sit. She didn't dare to stay on the ladder, so she forced her way over.She sat on the mat, her soft hips pressed tightly against Zhu Gaoxu's abdomen, very crowded.

Candles let in even less light from the entrance through the wooden panels below.Zhu Gaoxu could only see her general appearance, but couldn't see her face clearly, but it was not very good to think about it.

The temporary wooden boards on this floor were not thick, and the voices upstairs and downstairs could be heard clearly, and the two of them didn't dare to say a word, and they were both silent.

At this moment, Xiao Ni reached into his bosom, took out something, and handed it over.Zhu Gaoxu couldn't see clearly, and when he went to pick her up, he grabbed her hand first, and her body trembled slightly...Xiao Ni was still young, so her reaction was a little strong.Zhu Gaoxu really didn't want to belittle her, it was just because the light was too dark.

When he received the item, he realized it was a steamed bun... and it was half of it!

Zhu Gaoxu could quickly think of some situations: This little nun has the lowest status among the nuns in Jiming Temple, and she has almost nothing. The half steamed bun must have been saved from her own dinner.

Xiao Ni handed over the rough porcelain cup again, and Zhu Gaoxu also touched her hand before he could hold the cup firmly, which was filled with water.

Zhu Gaoxu held the cup in one hand and half a steamed bun in the other. He felt that the steamed bun was still a little warm. It must have been warmed by her body temperature just after it was taken out of her arms.

He didn't eat two meals, and he was really hungry, so he took a bite of the steamed bun and chewed it lightly in his mouth.

All the steamed buns I have eaten in two lifetimes are not as delicious as this half steamed bun in my hand!Zhu Gaoxu suddenly felt a warm feeling slowly flowing through his heart... He wanted to say thank you, but he couldn't say it, so he could only eat silently.

It was just the cat that gave her back, and it was just a chance meeting in the vast sea of ​​people after staying in Jilong Mountain for a few days... But Xiao Ni saved herself at the great risk of losing her reputation One life!

If Zhu Gaoxu is discovered, he will not be in trouble; the innocent little nun will also be implicated, and I am afraid she will have to pay the price with her life!Men and women are great defenses, she is still a monk, and the worldly morality alone can make her doomed!

But she didn't blame Zhu Gaoxu, she still thought that he didn't eat, so she withdrew half of the only ration and hid it.She had almost nothing, but kept half of what she had.

At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu felt that his world view had changed slightly.He suddenly realized that there are everyone in the world, and he cannot deny everyone just because he has suffered unfair treatment from some people in the world.Xiao Ni's selfless help made Zhu Gaoxu very warm and grateful.

Zhu Gaoxu carefully ate half a steamed bun without wasting a single bit, and then drank half a glass of water.Xiao Ni reached out, took the cup and put it on the bench where the clothes were placed.

At this moment, the light suddenly dimmed.Even the faint light just now disappeared, and the people below blew out the candles.

Xiao Ni lay down silently on his side, and the two of them remained silent.Immediately, Zhu Gaoxu smelled a very faint fragrance, but it seemed that there was no smell when he sniffed it carefully, but the faint scent really made him feel refreshed.She exhaled like blue, and Zhu Gaoxu could feel the warmth of her breath... The mat was too narrow, she had almost no place to lie down, and her arms and hands were tightly pressed on Zhu Gaoxu's chest, so as to prevent the two of them from sticking together.

After a while, she might feel that they were hugging each other, and their faces were very close, so she turned over.She couldn't sleep on the other side. There was a wooden table on the other side of the mat, and her feet could go through it, but her head couldn't.

Turning over, as soon as she took her hand away, Zhu Gaoxu immediately stuck behind her body.The place is only so narrow, and he can't help it, he can't stick himself to the wall.

Chapter 1 Don't Break Your Word

After nightfall, there was no sound at all around, and the whole city seemed to have fallen asleep.

Only the two people on the floor were awake, and Zhu Gaoxu had his eyes open, not feeling sleepy.Darkness affects vision, but makes other senses more sensitive and detailed.The sense of touch from head to toe and the smell in his nose made Zhu Gaoxu unable to restrain himself, and kept imagining everything about her.

At this moment, she moved her body slightly, and groped her hands in reverse, but quickly retracted her hands.She was clearly not asleep either.

Zhu Gaoxu took a few deep breaths secretly, supported his body a little, put his mouth to her ear, and lowered his voice to the lowest: "I want to change clothes, the wooden basin you brought..."

Xiao Ni turned around cautiously, and immediately her fragrant breath blew onto Zhu Gaoxu's face, and she also pressed her soft lips to Zhu Gaoxu's ear: "There is water in it, don't make a sound."

In this cramped place, after the candles downstairs had been extinguished, it was almost impossible to see anything.Like a blind man, Zhu Gaoxu touched carefully and slowly with his hands, and it took a lot of effort to finish the job.

During the daytime, a large number of people from the government suddenly started arresting people, and all signs were clearly aimed at Zhu Gaoxu!

Zhu Gaoxu is still at a loss as to what went wrong.With great difficulty, he calmed down a little and thought carefully about what to do...

The narrow place above the incense and candle shop can never stay for a long time, it is easy to be exposed.Besides, once Xiaoni was called back to the temple, no one would take care of him, and he would die of thirst!

Zhu Gaoxu is hesitant to leave this place tonight, it seems a bit risky... The door of the shop is made of wooden boards, and it is easy to make noise when taking the wooden boards. There is another nun sleeping underneath, and once she wakes up, it will be troublesome.But it's not completely out of the question.

What worries him the most is where to hide after leaving the shop?The mansion in the nearby alley also has certain risks.The key point is that he doesn't know who has been exposed. If Qing Yuan is included, then Zhu Gaoxu will simply die when he returns to the mansion where he is hiding!

After thinking about it, he decided not to play tonight.

He didn't sleep well all night, and when it was almost dawn in the second half of the night, Zhu Gaoxu was so sleepy that he dozed off intermittently.

When he woke up, he opened his eyes and found that the light was a little brighter.

His left arm was originally on his body, but now it had fallen off, and it was on Xiaoni's waist, so Zhu Gaoxu picked up his arm.At this time, Xiao Ni sat up without saying a word, and turned to look at Zhu Gaoxu.Then she went downstairs.

As soon as Xiaoni left, Zhu Gaoxu immediately lay down on his back and gently moved his numb hands and feet.

From below came the sound of taking planks, and voices.During the day, as long as there were two people on the pavement, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't move.He was very confused and worried, and felt that it would be as difficult as heaven to escape this time!
