They all say I'm a puppet

Fu Yu quickly took a shower and got out of the room, only to find that Cang Lin was lying on the simple wooden bed with all his clothes on and fell asleep when he entered the room.Because there was no charcoal basin, the room was still a bit cold, and the whole person curled up into a ball, looking a little pitiful.There was a slight smile in Fu Yu's eyes, no matter how he was usually, he looked like a child at this moment.

He pulled the quilt to help Cang Lin cover it, then turned around and took the charcoal basin and went out to light the fire.In fact, he has never done this kind of thing a few times, because although he grew up in the cold palace, in the eyes of Uncle Zhong, he is a righteous prince who takes good care of him, and this kind of thing is rarely done to him .But most of the time these years, he and Uncle Zhong came here, so even though he didn't do some things himself, he watched Uncle Zhong do it over and over again.

This is an important part of more than half of his not-so-long 14 years of life in the palace, and it has been firmly imprinted in his mind.So he can boil water and cook rice, burn charcoal for warmth, and do many things that neither a prince nor an emperor would be able to do, and he never feels hard work or wronged. His skills, especially at a time like this, come in handy, so he won't freeze to death with the little eunuch in the room.

The charcoal basin was ordered soon, and Fuyu carefully carried it back to the house.The room was not very big at first, so when such a charcoal basin was lit, it quickly became warm.Cang Lin on the bed seemed to have heard the sound, opened his eyes in a daze, glanced at Fuyu, then looked at the charcoal basin on the ground, couldn't help being a little surprised, there was still a strong sleepiness in the voice The childishness that will never be revealed when you are sober: "Why do you know everything?"

Fu Yu bent his lips, he warmed himself by the fire in front of the charcoal basin, then took off his shoes and lay down next to Cang Lin: "It's nothing to do anyway, let's go to sleep, wake up and get something to eat, Let's also celebrate New Year's Eve."

The sudden presence of another person beside him seemed to make Cang Lin feel particularly uncomfortable, the expression on his face showed the struggle in his heart, but he didn't know if it was because he was too sleepy or because of something else, he still nodded: "Okay. "Speaking, he pulled the quilt on his body towards Fuyu, closed his eyes again, and fell asleep again.

Hearing his shallow breathing, Fu Yu slightly curled the corners of her lips, and slowly closed her eyes.

Although it was not satisfactory, even though Uncle Zhong was not around, he was outside the palace anyway, at least half of what he had been obsessed with for many years had been realized.

As for the future, let's talk about it after waking up.

The two of them didn't sleep well the night before, escaped before dawn, and ran around the city for almost a whole morning, frightened, tired and exhausted, took a hot bath and baked a warm charcoal basin, this time It was rare to sleep very peacefully.

Fu Yu was awakened by starvation. He was growing up at this age. Even though Uncle Zhong tried his best, he often felt that he couldn’t get enough to eat. this concern.Today's sudden hunger made him a little dazed, and he sat up in a daze for a while, only to realize that he was already outside the palace now, and Uncle Zhong was no longer by his side.

Fu Yu rubbed his face, let out a low sigh, and turned his head to see that Cang Lin was still sleeping, still curled up into a pitiful ball, two and a half teenagers slept on the wooden bed which was obviously not wide, but left behind. The next chunk of space.At this time, Fu Yu's rare compassion can't help but play a role, making all his precautions and vigilance against this person disappear without a trace.

Fu Yu covered Cang Lin with the quilt, and wanted to get out of bed lightly, but he didn't expect Cang Lin to sleep very lightly at a young age. He woke up when he heard a slight sound, and tilted his head to look at Fu Yu. With a glance, he shook his head vigorously as if trying to get rid of sleepiness, and asked hoarsely, "Where are you going?"

Fu Yu stretched out her hand and tapped him on the head, and said with a smile: "While you are asleep, I will secretly get rid of your oil bottle."

Cang Lin sat up in a jerk, rubbed his eyes, stared at the smile on Fu Yu's face for a while, and his expression became relaxed again: "You won't, where are you even at the city gate if you leave me?" None can be found."

Fu Yu: "..."

He stared at Cang Lin for a while, and finally couldn't help but said: "You are right? You are penniless, and you don't work hard. If you leave me, you will either starve to death or freeze to death."

Cang Lin lowered his head and seemed to think about Fu Yu's words for a while, then nodded: "So, neither of us can live without the two of us, and this is the safest way now."

Fu Yu almost laughed angrily at his face, stared at him for a while, and finally said helplessly: "Forget it, it's no use arguing with you. Since you're not sleepy, get up first. It's New Year's Eve, even if you can't eat anything good, you still have to find something to fill your stomach."

Cang Lin nodded, climbed out of the bed neatly, spread out the quilt just covered, and looked at Fu Yu with a pair of clear eyes: "What do you want to eat? I'll go buy it and check the situation in the city by the way." .”

Fu Yu originally planned to go with Cang Lin, but he hesitated a little when he heard his words, after all, it has been a long time since he woke up, and the palace probably discovered his disappearance long ago, maybe they will send someone to look for him in the city He didn't know the situation and went out rashly, and he might bump into it directly.

But, let this kid go out by himself, wouldn't he abandon himself and run away?

As soon as this idea came out, Fu Yu couldn't help laughing at himself, didn't he want to carry this burden in the first place?Wouldn't it be better if he ran away?

Various thoughts rolled through his mind, and Fuyu finally made a decision. He reached out and took out the money bag from his bosom, picked and picked in it, took out the smallest piece of silver, and handed it to Cang Lin: "I never I haven't spent New Year's Eve outside the palace, and I don't know what to eat in this city, so you can decide for yourself."

Cang Lin put away the small piece of silver and nodded towards Fu Yu: "I'll be back soon."

Fu Yu smiled, and he told himself in his heart that it doesn't matter if the little eunuch doesn't come back, and the small piece of silver should be regarded as a gift for him.

The door opened and closed, and finally only Fuyu was left in the small room.

Maybe this is normal. After all, even Uncle Zhong will have to leave him. If he insists on leaving that cage, he should be prepared to walk alone in the future.

Fu Yu sat in front of the charcoal basin and roasted for a while, thinking about what to do next, but finally couldn't resist the obvious hunger, so she got up and went to the kitchen to find something to satisfy her hunger.

The yard has probably been unoccupied for a long time, so there is not much leftover food. Fuyu rummaged through the kitchen, and finally found two sweet potatoes that hadn't rotted, and held them in her hands with satisfaction. , I plan to bake it in a charcoal basin as my own New Year's Eve dinner.

He came out of the stove holding two sweet potatoes, and suddenly heard the door of the courtyard, turned around and saw Cang Lin standing at the door panting holding a pile of messy things, obviously just ran past.

Fu Yu subconsciously said, "Why are you back?" He realized what he had said after finishing the sentence, and hurriedly added, "I mean, so fast."

Cang Lin stared at the two sweet potatoes in his hand, with inexplicable emotions in his eyes, his fingers slowly clenched into fists, and questioned: "Did you not expect me to come back? Oh, no, it's not hopeless, Do you not want me to come back at all, and that small piece of silver is considered a reward for me? Then get rid of my trouble completely?"

Although he did have this kind of thought in his heart, Fu Yu had to admit that when he saw Cang Lin come back, he still felt a little satisfied in his heart, so when faced with Cang Lin's questioning, he subconsciously denied it: "No , no, I'm just, I'm just too hungry and want to get something to eat first."

The corners of Cang Lin's mouth were pursed into a straight line, and his eyes were fixed on Fu Yu. After a long time, he lowered his eyes slightly and said in a low voice: "I know, so I bought the things back without any delay."

Fu Yu felt that he didn't finish his words, at least he felt aggrieved now, and for a while he didn't know what to say to explain, so he could only bite the bullet and say: "Well, that's good, you worked hard , it's cold outside, let's go inside and eat, shall we?"

Cang Lin nodded, carried the pile of things and entered the door without saying a word.Fu Yu looked at the back of his head, felt that even though she hadn't done anything, she seemed to be really sorry for this person, so she could only let out a soft sigh, and followed Cang Lin into the door.

Paper packages were opened one by one, and various food stalls were set up on a table, some of which were even steaming. Fuyu could even see how Cang Lin waited expectantly in front of one stall after another, and how he ran past one stall after another. An alley, just wanting to bring these things to him as quickly as possible.

I'd better apologize, he's just a kid.Fu Yu said from the bottom of his heart, he raised his hand to touch Cang Lin's slightly cold face, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry."

Cang Lin raised his head to meet Fu Yu's eyes, and after a long time, he replied: "It's okay, we are just strangers, you don't like me, you don't believe me, it's normal."

Fu Yu was speechless for a moment, the two of them looked at each other for a while, and the whole room was exceptionally quiet.In the end, Fu Yu got up suddenly and picked up the two sweet potatoes: "I'll bake you sweet potatoes, just as an apology."

The author has something to say: Fu Yu: Sorry. [Bottom of my heart: Where did I go wrong? 】
