[Lu Xiaofeng] Beside the flowers and the willows

seek death

The night is already very deep, the lights of Wanjia have been extinguished, and everyone has already fallen asleep in this quiet night. In a guest room in Baihua Building, a delicate girl suddenly opened her eyes. With godly eyes, he put on his clothes and got out of bed, pushed the door lightly, was about to go downstairs but was worried, and went to the door of the other two rooms where the lights were off, and put his ear against the crack of the door carefully. After listening carefully for a long while, after confirming that the two were indeed fast asleep, he breathed a sigh of relief and quietly went downstairs and into the backyard.

—Never go to the backyard?What dark secrets are in the backyard?The Hua family in the south of the Yangtze River is the most wealthy in the world, and Hua Man Lou is the seventh son of the Hua family. Could it be that there is something hidden there?That little girl named Liu Mogui looked so stupid, she was so innocent that she didn't understand anything, she was clearly trying to cover it up!What else is there besides being pretty?You won't let me go to the backyard, and I'm going to go!

The young girl's figure was light, but her expression was very angry, even with a bit of gnashing of hatred, her pair of eyes that were originally full of spirit shone brightly in the moonlight, even piercing.

The backyard of Baihualou looks nothing special, there is a large open space in the center, and the surrounding flowers and plants are obviously carefully taken care of by Huamanlou. Ancient, it looks like the backyard of a literati's home, no different.

The girl kept her footsteps lightest, and searched the courtyard carefully, unwilling to let go of an inch, but...after a quarter of an hour, she still found nothing, and more importantly—since she went down the stairs and walked in After the backyard, she found that she seemed to be in the same place all the time, and she couldn't take half a step out!

There is only such a big area in the backyard. Standing at the stairs that came down earlier, you can see the opposite wall at a glance, but she has been walking for so long, but she seems to be spinning in circles forever, and she can't reach the opposite side !

The feeling when I broke in in the afternoon came again!

Everything here is so unbelievable, the girl's face, which was originally full of anger and unwillingness, turned pale in an instant, and her eyes were even stained with a little panic.The girl raised her head and looked up the stairs where she came from before, then looked at the wall that seemed to be not far away on the opposite side, and persistently walked a few steps forward, and raised her head again—it was still the original distance, half a minute away. No change!

The girl was finally completely anxious at this moment, she bit her lip and looked around, her eyes were almost red with anxiety, but she accidentally stepped on a small stone, her heart suddenly seemed to be on fire, Even more irritable, she raised her foot and kicked the small stone out vigorously—but the moment she kicked out, she suddenly realized that something was wrong, and suddenly opened her eyes wide, almost desperately Desperately used lightness kung fu to run forward, but at this time, it was still half a beat behind——

A loud "bang" has already exploded in the backyard of Baihualou!

"Hey? What's the matter?" On the second floor of Baihua Building, the doors of the other two rooms were opened almost at the same time. The little girl was wearing only a coat, rubbing her eyes and looking up sleepily, and asked the question from the next room. The man who came out said, "Huamanlou, did someone break in or..."

"It's probably Shangguan Feiyan." Hua Manlou sighed, stretched out his hand to gather the little girl's robe tighter, and took her hand, "Let's go and have a look."

The little girl leaned on Huamanlou's arm, rubbed it in a daze, and followed him down instinctively: "Huamanlou, don't worry, after discussing with my second uncle, I have adjusted The amount of gunpowder, even if you don't avoid the injury, it won't kill you!"

Hua Manlou nodded, and reached out to touch her head - the little girl's long hair draped over her shoulders was soft and smooth, almost making his heart soften and settle down instantly.

The moonlight was very good that night. Even if the lights were not lit, the scene in the courtyard could be seen clearly by the moonlight—the flowers, plants, trees, rockery and strange rocks were completely unchanged and damaged, and the open space in the middle But it was already dusty and full of gunpowder smell, and a big hole was even blown out in the middle, and beside the hole was lying a figure who just became familiar today——Shangguan Feiyan, who was coughing non-stop.

"Are you okay?" The little girl knelt down and asked while reaching out to explore her wrist.

I don't know if she was injured or choked by the smoke, but Shangguan Feiyan was holding her chest and coughing non-stop, her delicate face was already covered with dust and dirt: "Ahem, I..."

"I suffered some internal injuries, but they are not serious, and the rest are skin injuries." Before Shangguan Feiyan finished speaking, the little girl quickly checked the injuries for her and said with a frown, "Didn't I just say a thousand words?" Don't come to the backyard?"

As soon as the words fell, Shangguan Feiyan coughed even worse, with a heart-piercing look, as if she was about to cough up her lungs: "Cough cough, I...cough, I am thirsty in the middle of the night, I want to get some water to drink."

Thirsty fetch water?The kettle in her room was obviously only filled at night... Liu Mogui glanced at Shangguan Feiyan whose eyes were dimmed with tears, pursed his lips, and involuntarily turned his head to look at Huamanlou.

Hua Manlou seemed to know that the little girl was looking at her, so she reached out and patted her on the head, and said softly, "Ah Mo, help Shangguan girl up first, and treat the wound after returning to the room."

The little girl nodded in response, and stretched out her hand to pull Shangguan Feiyan up.Shangguan Feiyan had just stood up, but suddenly her feet went limp, and with a coquettish cry, she was about to fall to the side and hit Hua Manlou's body, Hua Manlou took half a step back, stretched out her hand and gently pushed After a while, the little girl who was supporting Shangguan Feiyan also exerted force on her hands at the same time, which finally allowed her to stabilize her figure.

"Cough, I... I'm sorry, I seem to sprain my ankle and can't walk anymore."

Shangguan Feiyan hurriedly apologized, it looked like Hua Manlou's eyes were filled with mist and glistened with water, which made people feel pity.

"It's okay, it's really hard to move if you hurt your foot, and you shouldn't walk around anymore." Hua Manlou calmly withdrew his hand, smiled gently and nodded, showing no trace of impatience on his face—Shangguan Feiyan's eyes lit up in an instant When I woke up, my dusty face seemed to be slowly getting a blush.The little girl who supported her blinked her eyes, turned her head and stared at Hua Manlou,

Hua Manlou rubbed the little girl's hair with a smile, and clapped his hands twice—following the short clap of applause, a mecha man as tall as an adult man appeared in the yard from nowhere, Standing firmly in front of Shangguan Feiyan, she bent slightly and stretched out her hand.

Hua Manlou nodded: "Let the mecha man carry the girl back to the room, so as not to aggravate the injury."

"I..." Shangguan Feiyan opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something else, but seeing Hua Manlou's mild but unquestionable expression, she was suddenly speechless and could only be obediently Nodding in response, he took a deep look at Hua Manlou, then let the mech man pick him up, and then walked steadily towards the room.

After all, a mech man is not a real person, no matter how delicately he makes it, there are always some things that cannot be changed, for example... the cold and hard metal texture all over his body.

Shangguan Feiyan's injuries in the previous explosion were indeed not serious, but there were many wounds. The flying stones had already scratched many holes on her clothes, and even the girl's delicate skin was also scratched. break.Coupled with the impact of the airflow, she is in pain all over her body now, being held in the arms of the hard mech man, she just feels uncomfortable all over her body, but... she appeared in the backyard alone in the middle of the night, and she was already in pain. It was enough to make Hua Manlou suspicious. If he complained about the mech man at this time, wouldn't he have a worse impression on him?

Shangguan Feiyan lowered her head, bit her lip without saying a word, her eyes were so gloomy that ink dripped out.

Liu Mogui stood where he was, blinking at Shangguan Feiyan who was being carried upstairs by the mech man, stretched out his hand and scratched his hair, turned his head to look like Huamanlou, although he didn't speak, the raised eyebrows and the corners of his mouth were All of them reveal her joy at this moment--you can't walk because of sprained feet, so why do you keep watching Huamanlou?So what if she is pitiful?No matter how pitiful you are, you can't see Huamanlou!very nice!

"Amo."

"Huh?" Hearing Hua Manlou's voice, the little girl blinked her eyes and responded cheerfully.

Hua Manlou could naturally hear the smile in her voice, couldn't help but also laughed, shook his head helplessly, reached out to hold the little girl's hand: "Ah Mo, let's wait and see, see What is her purpose?"

"Okay! I'm not afraid of her!" The little girl jumped two steps briskly, stretched out her free hand to hug Hua Manlou's arm, and rubbed her face against his shoulder.

Hua Manlou laughed, and touched her head with the other hand, her heart moved slightly, the hand that was holding the little girl exerted a little force, spread the little girl's palm, and touched her fingers little by little. buckle.

The little girl tilted her head, looked at the gentle and clear side face of the man beside her under the moonlight, couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled softly: "Hua Man Lou, I'm not afraid of anything!"

"I know," Hua Manlou also smiled, and involuntarily increased the strength in his hand, holding the little girl's small and slender hand even tighter. Before stepping up the steps of the stairs, he paused and stopped. Turning his head to face the little girl, he bent slightly, "Ah Mo is amazing! Thanks to Ah Mo, we were able to prepare early this time."

Along with his gentle words, a light kiss passed by the corner of the little girl's mouth.

The little girl blushed slightly, pursed her lips and smiled.
