Stage [Republic of China]

sneeze.

In this damn winter night, I can't even find a warm lamp.It's like, Xu Jishan is gone, his world is dark.

"Xu Jishan—"

Shui Jiu suddenly felt panicked, stretched her neck, and shouted forcefully.

In this night, his voice floated out, as if trembling in the air in the wind, and soon faded away.

Xu Jishan didn't answer him.

Shui Jiu became ruthless, holding back her temper, and insisted on searching from room to room.Walking barefoot in the promenade, the echo is particularly dull.

After walking a few steps, the voice of the old butler suddenly came: "Mr. Shui?"

Shui Jiu heard the reputation and went over.The old butler was standing at the top of the stairs with a wind lantern in his hand. Seeing him looking over, he said with a wry smile, "Mr. has already gone back to sleep."

"Which room is he in?"

The old butler hesitated and refused to answer.

Shui Jiu gritted her teeth resentfully, and said, "Why, can't you tell me?"

"That's not true, that's not true." The old butler didn't have time to deny it, with a belated expression on his face.

Just refuse to say.

Shui Jiu couldn't help but sneer. "If you don't tell me, I'll search from room to room, and I'll find him anyway."

The old butler had no choice but to sigh heavily. "Mr. asked me to stop you."

Shui Jiu hissed and gasped, her pale fingers convulsing violently in the night.His voice trembled violently. "...Who the hell beat him up like this?"

The old butler hesitantly avoided the topic, and said tactfully, "Mr. actually took the medicine when he returned home, but he didn't think about it..."

The old housekeeper coughed twice, and said vaguely: "It may be that the action was too violent, and the wound opened again."

Intense action?Just now Xu Jishan went to his room, and the old butler was obviously referring to what happened to the two of them.If it was normal, Shui Jiu would have blushed if someone said that in public, but he is not ashamed right now.

He is not ashamed.He is annoyed.

Shui Jiu snorted coldly from his nostrils, flicked his sleeves, turned around and left.

Seeing that he was willing to go back to the house, the old housekeeper was obviously relieved.

After Shui Jiu returned to the house, she still hated her fiercely.There is such a strong bond between the two, if he hadn't accidentally noticed that Xu Jishan was injured, he would have made that person lovesick on purpose tonight.But Xu Jishan clearly refused to tell him the truth.

When two people live together, they always have to show their hearts, and they can't hide their words and choke.Like this, if you get angry outside and get beaten back, but hide it from him, why bother?

The more Shui Jiu thought about it, the angrier she became, wishing she could not calm down.In the end, when the sky was dim, he sat up abruptly, gritted his teeth and sneered.

It's dawn, it's good when it's dawn.When we have breakfast together later, that guy can't see him?

He didn't believe it, see you this morning, and you still can't get the truth out of that guy's mouth.

Shui Jiu quickly washed up, changed into an outer shirt, and hurried to the front hall.The congee and vegetables were all set, but Xu Jishan was not there.

It is estimated that I was hungover last night and was injured again, so it will be later.

Shui Jiu sat there, not moving her chopsticks at all, resisting the breath in her heart, patiently waiting for Xu Jishan to come.

As a result, he waited from seven o'clock in the morning until nine o'clock.

Wu Ma whispered beside her: "Sir, is the food this morning not to your liking? I'll ask the kitchen to change it."

Shui Jiu turned her head suddenly, looked around, and found that the old housekeeper was not there today, nor was the driver who usually served Xu Jishan when she went out, and there was only Mama Wu left.He suddenly reacted. "Has Xu Jishan gone out already?"

Wu Ma was taken aback, and although she dared not answer a single word, her timid and flustered appearance betrayed the truth.

Shui Jiu clenched her fists tightly, and opened her water chestnut lips.He wanted to say, since he avoided me, why did he talk about his life with me?He also wanted to say, if you keep it from me today, if something big happens in the future, will you keep it from me?He wanted to say so much, but couldn't get a single word out.

With Xu Jishan not in front of his eyes, who would he listen to when he said these words?

"Ahem..." There was a sudden cough, which brought tears to his eyes.

50, 50

◎"I will be in your heart, and I will be there"◎

Shui Jiu coughed heart-piercingly.

Mama Wu looked flustered. "Sir, you..."

Wu Ma quickly brought a cup of warm water over, but Shui Jiu didn't even look at it, she clenched her fists, turned around and wanted to go back to the house.

Xu Jishan avoided him!

He was so angry that he couldn't eat any more rice, and he just wanted to find someone to settle the score.After walking a few steps, I suddenly came back to my senses—why does that guy see him when he wants to see him, and hide from him when he wants to avoid him?

It's not like he's hiding at the house of the elder Zeng.As a man, why is he always treated like a bird in a cage?

The malice in Shui Jiu's heart became more and more violent, she stopped suddenly, turned around, and walked straight to the outside of the iron gate.

"Hey, sir, Mr. Shui, where are you going?" Seeing that he was going in the wrong direction, Mama Wu quickly trotted over to follow, as if trying to stop him.

Shui Jiu really lost his temper, his face was cold and expressionless, and he didn't care how Mama Wu screamed.

Mama Wu is in a hurry.When Shui Jiu opened the door, there was only a sound of thump, thud, and the chunky Mama Wu ran towards him like a cannonball in an instant, and then panted and opened her big hand to stop him.

"Sir, you can't go out."

Shui Jiu didn't get angry, and said bitterly: "Your husband asked you to say this?"

"Ah, no, no." Wu Ma panicked for a moment.

Taking advantage of her flustered expression, Shui Jiu stretched out her hand, and with a light swipe, she pushed Wu Ma away from him, then opened the iron door, and left without looking back.

This house is still some distance away from the center of Jingxi Prefecture, Xu Jishan usually goes in and out by car.But that night when Xu Jishan brought him back from the opium den, he took a shortcut through the streets and alleys.

Shui Jiu is a person who can always remember the road he walked once.He followed the path in his memory, crossed the alley, and walked directly towards the water.

Wu Ma couldn't stop her, and she didn't dare to really chase her.He trotted a few steps, couldn't keep up with Shui Jiu, so he ran back to the courtyard in a panic, entered the door and went to the corner of the second floor, banging on the door desperately.

"...Who?" Xu Jishan's gloomy voice came from inside.

Xu Jishan didn't sleep all night, her voice became hoarse.

Wu Ma shouted: "Sir, sir is not well! Mr. Shui left alone."

Shui Jiu went out full of anger, and couldn't take a few steps, when she suddenly remembered that Second Young Master Qin had also come to Jingxi Mansion now.

Qin Ershao was the one who recognized him.

If the beast is seen on the road, I'm afraid there will be nothing to do.

Thinking about it this way, Shui Jiu felt a little regretful.He came out in a hurry this morning, he didn't change his makeup, he didn't even put on an extra cloak.The autumn wind blows, and the clothes are fluttering.

Shui Jiu looked at the silk gown on her body, had an idea, and raised her head to look around.He remembered that after exiting the Shuixing shop, turning to the left was the Yingge Pavilion they had been to that day.From the Yingge Pavilion, there are three or five houses away, and I vaguely remember a theater.

In the theater, it is always easy to find someone to change clothes.Even if you change your eyebrows a little bit, it's nothing.

So the immediate premise is that he has to go to the theater first.

Shui Jiu made a tentative plan, buried her head lower, rolled up her sleeves, and hurriedly walked on the street trying to find a hidden corner.Fortunately, in the alley, there were only three or two pedestrians this early in the morning.

The current situation is chaotic, and people in the market don't dare to come out and wander around unless they have to.

In this way, he came to the front of Yingge Pavilion.He also remembered that Ning Jimin had told him before that if something happened, just go to the theater.

Xu Jishan was always jealous that he had too many entanglements with Ning Jimin. He had never been out of the house because he cared about Xu Jishan's face.But now that Xu Jishan is avoiding him and using him as a thief, it's better to find Ning Jimin.

At any rate, Ning Jimin would tell him exactly what happened and the situation in the city.

Shui Jiu's heart was full of hatred, and she quickly walked through the entrance of Yingge Pavilion and walked towards the theater.

As soon as he walked past the Yingge Pavilion, Qin Ershao's laughing and obscene voice suddenly came from behind him. "Oh, the girl here is really good at serving, but it's a pity, after all, it's still a little bit less interesting."

What do you mean?Isn't it because he prefers handsome little boys?

Shui Jiu sneered in his heart.He didn't expect to bump into Qin Ershao by accident, so he quickened his pace even more, but Qin Ershao saw him behind him, couldn't help but gasped, stretched his neck and shouted: "Hey, the one in front, you stop Come down. Yes, it's you! Please stop."

not good.

Shui Jiu's heart skipped a beat, and she ran even faster, wishing she could fly directly into the blue sky with the wind under her armpit, and fly under the daylight.

Qin Ershao shouted more and more anxiously behind him.

Shui Jiu buried her head and ran.The more he shouted, the faster he ran, and with a stab, the wind on his feet flashed into the theater.

As soon as I entered, there was a loud sound of gongs and drums inside.Clang, clang, red-tasseled spears fluttering.Shui Jiu looked up and saw a martial artist in a white shirt with his forehead strangled and a red-tasseled spear in his hand, jumping in the air, and then landed heavily in the middle of the stands.The spectators applauded one after another, and the scene was full of excitement.

Shui Jiu was startled for a moment, then heaved a sigh of relief.Are you singing?That's good.There are so many people at the moment, it's a good time to hide.

He lowered his head and quickly squeezed towards the place with the most people.The little boy with the melon and fruit basket on his arm is yelling:

- "Melon seeds, melon seeds, three dollars a pack, and free peanuts!"

Shui Jiu walked past him with his head lowered, and the basket on the boy's arm swayed slightly.

"Hey, you!" The little boy chased after him relentlessly.

Suddenly there was a person standing in front of Shui Jiu, stopped the boy, and said in a low voice, "I'll give you three coins."

The man handed the money to the boy. "Let's talk about Baomei again."

The boy yelled loudly
