Huaiyu is slightly cool

Zhou Huai arrived at the Huguo Temple in the early morning of the next day in a small sedan chair for four people, bringing only two maidservants and a body of morning dew.In this national temple built on the mountain, Zhou Huai didn't want to watch it, but instead entered the independent small courtyard of the temple through a secluded path.The whole process was sneaky, except for the conspicuous Imperial Forest Army at the gate of Erdaoyuan, everything was extremely careful and low-key.

After entering the small courtyard, among several elegant wooden houses, Zhou Huai, who got up when the cock crowed and hurried on his way, chose one at random and fell into bed, forgetting about being ordered to pray for the country or visiting the eldest princess. , at this time the sleep is maximum.

When Zhou Huai woke up, it was already afternoon, she got up lazily, and called the servant girl Qingchuan to fetch water and take a shower, and after washing, she changed into a plain dress, and after eating and drinking, she took a walk in the small courtyard, watching Watching the sunset, I just feel relaxed and free, with a bit of comfort and comfort in my whole body.

At night, Zhou Huai was still full of energy, and the servant girl Yunling was watching the night outside, while she was alone under the lamp flipping through the books of idle books.At this time, the mountains are quiet and the moonlight is like water, illuminating the small courtyard in detail and harmony.

Suddenly, a few light and shallow gasps came over, startling Zhou Huai who was immersed in the eclectic scenes in the book, looked around, everything in the room was as usual, listening attentively, only heard the mountain wind outside the small courtyard The 'rustling' sound of blowing leaves, and the moaning sound seemed to be caught in the wind, intermittently entering Zhou Huai's ears.

Zhou Huai felt his heart beat a little faster, forced himself to turn over a few pages of the book, but the sound of □□ lingered in his ears, Zhou Huai became curious, and couldn't read any more books, so he arrived on tiptoe In the outer pavilion, seeing that Yun Ling was fast asleep on the bed outside, he opened the door alone to see what happened.

The bright moon hangs high outside, and the ground is covered with silver light. You can clearly see the small courtyard like a courtyard without using lights.Zhou Huai walked to the right as he thought of the maid Qingchuan living in the room on the left next door.The groaning sound never stopped, like gasping or crying, soft and soft, Zhou Huai carefully tried to identify the direction, but to no avail, so he listened from door to door, and waited until he had finished listening to all the horizontal and vertical rooms in the small courtyard. , still can't find the source of the sound.

"Miss?"

A low, suspicious voice sounded from behind, startling Zhou Huai. With an exclamation of 'Ah', he quickly turned his head, and at the same time jumped to the side, trying to run away.

Yun Ling stood not far from her with a lamp, carefully looked at her and softly comforted her: "Miss, it's a slave. Why are you still up so late? What are you doing standing here?"

"Did you hear any strange noises?"

Yunling heard the words, listened carefully, and then said: "Only the wind."

Zhou Huai didn't believe it, and asked again: "Is there nothing else?"

Yunling listened carefully again, and finally shook her head helplessly and said, "I didn't hear any other voices, did you? Miss, are you dreaming and sleepy?"

Zhou Huai was noncommittal, but Yunling was her personal servant girl brought from Yunzhou. She was honest and gentle, and she was loyal to her and never put off.So Zhou Huai only glanced at her expression when he heard the words, then frowned suspiciously.

Yunling saw Zhou Huai's little man frowning and thinking, with a smile on his face, but was shivered by the mountain wind, and seeing Zhou Huai's thin clothes, she persuaded: "There is heavy dew on the mountain. , Miss, go back to the house and rest."

The groaning in his ear still continued, Zhou Huai stood on the spot and listened quietly for a while, then nodded to Yun Ling and said, "Go back to the house."

Yun Ling held the lamp, and leaned sideways to carefully protect Zhou Huai's side.When the two of them returned to the house, Yunling went to fetch some hot water from the warm stove, preparing for Zhou Huai to wipe his face and hands before going to sleep, but Zhou Huai just wandered around the room, looking around, Finally, I poured out the incense in the incense burner in the house, and then I took off my clothes and went to bed.Yunling stood by the bed, softly humming a Yunzhou tune to lull her to sleep, and waited until Zhou Huai's frowning brows finally calmed down, before blowing out the candle lamp, and quietly went back to the outside room.

At this time, Zhou Huai, who seemed to be asleep, opened his eyes again, and the soft moan still lingered in his ears.Zhou Huai opened his eyes, lay quietly on the bed and listened, until the next day when the cock crowed, the sound disappeared.

Zhou Huai squinted for a while after the cock crowed, got up with dark circles under his eyes, and wandered around the small courtyard, but still found nothing.

When the warm sun rose and shone on Zhou Huai, she sat under the crape myrtle tree in the courtyard in a daze, and fell asleep again without knowing it, and when she woke up, it was almost noon, and Yun Ling was sitting beside her , holding a paper umbrella for her with one hand, and fanning her with a round fan in the other, but she was sleepy and her head was still shaking.

Seeing her like this, Zhou Huai smiled, and gently wanted to take the umbrella that the other party was still holding, but Yun Ling was awakened. Seeing that the other party was still confused, she opened her mouth first: "Are you tired? How silly holding on like this , why didn't you just wake me up?"

Yun Ling rubbed her eyes, lowered her head shyly and whispered: "Miss, didn't you sleep well yesterday? I didn't wake you up."

"Go back to sleep, I'll wake up here." Zhou Huai said casually, rubbing his numb hands.

After putting away the umbrella, Yunling saw it, and rubbed her arm quickly, watching Zhou Huai hesitate to speak, and after a while, seeing that Zhou Huai was in good spirits, she said: "Miss, there is nothing else this afternoon, you want to talk?" Don’t bring slaves to the main hall to see the world, but I heard that there are thousands of gods and Buddhas in Huguo Temple, and it is the largest Buddhist temple in the country, so let’s go offer incense and ask Buddha to bless the young lady for a safe and happy life.”

"I don't really believe in these things. If you want to go shopping, go by yourself. Let Qingchuan sleep in the outer pavilion tonight, so you can have a good time shopping. Just don't play too late."

Yunling was in a hurry. Zhou Huai's actions last night frightened her. She thought it was because they did not burn incense and worship Buddha when they entered the temple. Some sesame oil money to ask for forgiveness, but what can the lady do if she doesn't go.She thought about it for a while and decided that she had to go to worship as soon as possible, so she had to persuade again: "But we have been in the temple for two days, and the emperor asked the young lady to pray for the country. No matter what, you should show your face."

"Why don't you believe me?!" Zhou Huai refused.

"Miss, then you go out for a stroll too, how boring it is to stay in the yard all the time, I heard that the eldest princess lives not far from us..."

Before she finished speaking, Zhou Huai said, "I just want to be a quiet child."

Yun Ling choked, and Zhou Huai continued, "I still have 1000 taels of silver in my money box. If you want to pay homage, you can donate half of it. I will use it as the rent fee for this period of time." Ling knew that Zhou Huai really didn't intend to leave the hospital, so she just kept her mouth shut and nodded in agreement.

At this time, a few young novice monks came into the courtyard standing in the food box, Yunling went to pick up the food box, and Zhou Huai read a book alone in the room after eating. Book of sages.But today she went to bed earlier, but in the middle of the night, she woke up from starvation.

The Huguo Temple only cooks two meals a day, but since Zhou Huai is young, he is afraid that she will be hungry, so he will always bring more fruit and snacks.But Zhou Huai eats a small amount of food and has a naughty mouth, which is very special, not that she is picky eater, but no matter what the dish, she always just tastes a few mouthfuls, and after guessing the ingredients, seasonings and methods, she will not She didn't move the dishes anymore, so although her life is full of rich clothes and fine food, she is thin and thin.

Holding his hungry, growling stomach, Zhou Huai got up, lit candles, and filled his stomach with snacks on the table.Unexpectedly, as soon as he ate two yuan, he heard the groaning sound of "Yeah!" Zhou Huai paused, but he still couldn't tell where the sound came from, so he continued to eat the pastry. Ignore it.Qing Chuan, who didn't want to watch the night outside, saw that the lights in the Li Pavilion were lit, so he put on his clothes and came in.

Putting on his clothes, Qing Chuan poured a glass of water to Zhou Huai and said, "Miss, it's late at night, a little two yuan will satisfy your hunger, but don't eat too much, be careful of overeating at night, it's not good for your health."

"How many days has it been? Why are you outside today?"

"It's already past three o'clock. It was originally Yunling who came, but she said that the young lady might not be used to sleeping on the mountain, so someone needs to be by her side at night. Seeing that she is young, I knelt in the front hall all afternoon, I'm afraid she won't be able to bear it physically, so I will change shifts with her tonight." Qing Chuan was specially sent by the emperor to take care of Zhou Huai, he is sixteen this year, and can do some fisting, while Yun Ling is only 12 years old this year.

Zhou Huai nodded and told Qingchuan to go back to sleep, while she picked up a piece of pastry, put the candle in the lampshade, and carried it out.Qing Chuan wanted to follow, but after being stopped by Zhou Huai, thinking that there were still guards patrolling the night outside the courtyard, nothing would happen, so he went straight to bed and rested.

Zhou Huai made up his mind to find the voice this time, so he searched the small garden over and over again with a lantern in his hand, but unfortunately he searched the courtyard twice, but he only heard the melodious voice and saw no one.Zhou Huai found the time when the rooster crowed at the fourth watch, when the surroundings were completely silent, and when the moon was setting in the west, the night was covered, and only the morning star was left in the sky, she was already hungry, tired and sleepy, but she was still stubborn. Refusing to go back to the house, she found a place where she could see all the doors in the small courtyard and stood quietly, waiting for the dawn to see if the doors of those empty houses would be opened at dawn, and a person walked out of it. Or a ghostly glamorous girl.

Zhou Huai was thinking about these messy things absently.Suddenly, there was a sound of '咻', and when she saw a huge white figure leaping from the grass next to Zhou Huai into the ornamental flowers in the courtyard, she trembled in fright, and the candles in the lantern went out at the same time. Now, Zhou Huai froze on the spot, and the next moment he was furious. He lost the lamp and rummaged for the moving place. He didn't bring out a fat white rabbit until he broke most of the flower branches. Zhou Huai held the rabbit ears. He stared at those red eyes but smiled instead of anger.

The rabbit was bigger and fatter than ordinary rabbits, Zhou Huai lifted its ears, and its two long legs did not leave the ground. At this time, it was probably frightened by the smile, so it struggled hard, kicking the ground dusty, It splashed Zhou Huai all over his body and face.

Zhou Huai spat out the dust that had been kicked into his mouth with a 'ah' sound.That night, I was extremely tired both mentally and physically, and was frightened by the rabbit again, and my whole body was a little weak. The mud and leaves that were stained with it simply hugged the struggling rabbit and sat on the ground.

When the eldest princess Wu Liangyue was wearing a brocade dress with cloud patterns and moonlight, a cloak of smoke and moon gauze, and a lotus white jade crown on her head, she walked slowly towards the first ray of sunshine in the morning, and she saw a dusty and haggard child in front of her. , with a pair of panda eyes, sitting beside the fallen flowers, hugging Xiaobai who she was looking for everywhere, howling with red eyes: my suffering rabbit!
