Ambush from all sides

"My lord, my elder brother told you that he went home to do business?"

Zhan Zhao came back from patrolling the streets at noon, walked towards the door of the study, and was called in by Master Bao, who stuffed him with a chicken wing.While flicking through the county annals in his hand calmly, Lao Bao told him that Zhan Hao left in the early morning. The Zhan family's kitten was stunned, grasping the oily chicken wings, and subconsciously asked such a question.

"Well, on the Jiangnan side, Di Deqing pointed out that he took over the position of the chamber of commerce. Oh, he also asked me to pass you a letter." As he spoke, Bao Zheng took out an envelope from the table and handed it over. The words are indeed written by Zhan Hao.Zhan Zhao stared, quickly gnawed the wings, wiped his hands with the towel hanging on the washbasin stand, then took the envelope, and tore it open with a "shua".

There were only a few words on the letter paper, and what Bao Zheng told him was what Bao Zheng told him—there was a problem with the business, so he had to rush back.I'll leave Cen to you, and use whatever good medicine you have. There are two boxes of money left in the guest room, and they will be used as Mr. Gongsun's consultation fee and medicine money.

At the end of the letter, Zhan Hao also mentioned Lin Zhihuan.Before leaving, he said to Bao Zheng that the past is over, the grievances are over, and the future is up to Mr. Bao.But in the letter, he asked Zhan Zhao, saying that if Master Bao treated Lin Zhihuan leniently in the future, he must not let him have the chance to get close to Cen Bie.

Zhan Hao was really scared, his fox couldn't afford a second mishap.

After reading the letter, Zhan Zhao folded the letter with some disappointment and held it in his hands—the eldest brother left without saying goodbye again.Just like in Lihai more than a year ago, when he woke up, he had already returned to Changzhou.

After a rain a few days ago, Kaifeng really had the meaning of autumn.The weather started to get colder, and the sun was not as exposed as before at noon, and it was even colder at night.But the fourth son felt that the weather was quite comfortable, the summer was too hot, he was a little fat, and couldn't bear it.Moreover, the people here pay attention to putting on autumn fat, wrapping their bodies in warm clothes and drinking the fat mutton soup, not to mention how nourishing it is.

Every time there is something delicious, the little guy will ask the aunt to keep a bowl, and he will quietly take it to the dead leaves to eat.The meals their patients eat are rich in oil and salt, and the most common ones are boiled chicken and clear water fish soup, and they also have two boiled eggs every day.After eating for a while, even if the dead leaves are not particular about food, I feel a little unbearable.The fourth son brought delicious mutton soup, and the little guy fed it spoonful by spoonful, and he could drink it clean.

But one time, Gongsun bumped into him while secretly feeding him, and his father taught the fourth son a lesson, and he was not allowed to bring anything secretly from now on.The little guy was being scolded at that time, his eyes were looking at the dead leaves, his little eyes were aggrieved.The dead leaf was lying on the bed feeling powerless, his father was teaching his son a lesson, so he couldn't intervene.

After driving the little boy out of the ward, Gongsun Hei turned around with a serious face and prepared to change the medicine for the dead leaves and get the needles.Seeing him roll up his sleeves, Dead Ye consciously turned his back to him, revealing the back of his head covered with gauze.Gongsun carefully removed the gauze, and saw that the scar had grown, a dark brown scar crawling on the back of his head like a big centipede.

"Tsk tsk, with your scalp, I think you won't be able to grow hair in the future." Gongsun was stunned while applying medicine to him. The incision was wide at that time, and now the scar can only be like this.Those scar removers may be able to remove the scars, but I don't know if they can repair the pores.

"If you can't grow it, you can't grow it. It's not a woman." Withered Ye turned her back to him, and it took a long time to answer this sentence.Gongsun looked up at his back, a little noncommittal.In the past few days, he has figured out the temper of this little killer. He is awkward, desperate for face, and always likes to keep things in his heart.Zhan Hao left, he was obviously not feeling well, always frowning in a daze, but when the fourth son asked, he just said it was nothing.

The mouth is so hard that one wants to prop up his jaw with a stick.It's hard for Zhan Hao to fall in love with such a person.

After finishing the wound on his head, Gongsun Lanlan turned him back.The little killer who has lost his martial arts is completely useless to the genius doctor, so Gongsun is not in a hurry to give him acupuncture, but squints his eyes, and starts to look at the scar on his face: "What is this burnt? The wound is so deep?"

The dead leaves were embarrassed by him, and couldn't help but look away, and didn't answer.Gongsun didn't bother to force him, so he dipped the needle in the fire and passed it through the fire, then stabbed it into the acupuncture point on his abdomen with great accuracy.

"The scars on your face are very deep, I guess the medicine can't be applied well." Earlier, the fourth son took his most precious scar-removing medicine and quietly applied it to the dead leaves, saying that the little leaves must be a handsome man without the scars.But looking at the situation, no matter how much medicine is applied, it will be a waste of effort.Dead Leaf didn't seem to care, she lowered her eyes and turned her head to the side: "If it's not good, it's not good, I don't care."

Seeing him like this, even though Gongsun loves patients so much, he couldn't help but reach out and prick his face with a needle.Dead Leaf was startled, but before she could react, her brows were tense, and she began to twitch involuntarily.Gongsun pulled his lips and smiled in relief, and snorted coldly: "I told you to be hard-spoken, I told you to be awkward! Next time if you don't speak well, I will stab you again!"

Withered Ye stared at him daringly, her eyebrows twitched a little uncontrollably, and she could only grit her teeth to hold back the strange feeling.Gongsun let his face dry, leisurely pierced a few more needles in his flank, and after a while he slowly pulled out the needles on his face.The dead leaves were so stuffy that they almost lost their words, living under the fence, and being sick, they could only furrow their brows and get angry secretly in the end.After a while, Gongsun finished all the needles, stood up slowly, and stretched lazily by the bed.The needle had to be stuck for a full quarter of an hour, and he just had time to rest.

The genius doctor Gongsun has always been very busy. When there is a case, he has to be busy with the autopsy, and when there is no case, he has to go to the clinic for consultation.When they come back to Kaifeng Mansion, they have to see a doctor for these patients, not to mention that there is a guy who is still addicted to drugs outside the backyard.Thinking of Lin Zhihuan, Gongsun dragged a chair and sat down beside the bed, and asked absent-mindedly while helping the withered leaf to diagnose the pulse: "What is that Lin Zhihuan, you know him, right?"

Hearing this name, Dead Ye's eyebrows twitched faintly, and after a while he said in a calm and cold voice: "I know, it's me who he poisoned."

"He, now he is locked in the prison on the back mountain, his addiction has improved a lot." Gongsun glanced at the dead leaves pointedly, saw his expressionless face, and continued: "The day he gave The poison you injected was very complicated, but just as it happened, Zhan Hao’s blood poison was also very complicated, and he used poison to fight poison, so the poison on your body was basically cured at that time. Your martial arts are due to staying underwater for a long time. If it is too fast, the internal organs will be ruptured and the meridians will be damaged, which will reduce the skill."

"Zhan Hao's blood poison?" Dead Ye frowned and repeated, looking at Gongsun suspiciously: "What does this mean?"

"You don't know?" Gongsun felt a little funny: "After you were poisoned, Zhan Hao fed you a lot of blood. Zhan Zhao told me that when he looked at his brother, his face was pale, and you were not breathing. A lot of blood was wasted."

After hearing Gongsun's words, Dead Ye's dazed eyes gradually became depressed, and the eyelids also drooped down.Seeing his thoughtful yet secretly sad look, Gongsun raised his eyebrows knowingly, and withdrew his hand from his wrist.

"Your body is recovering quickly, and you can get out of bed and walk around in two days, but you can't move violently." Gongsun said, wiped his hands with a white cloth dampened with water, and then poured out medicinal wine to press the acupuncture points for the dead leaves.He pushed the quilt away, rubbed his hands with wine for a while, and then pressed his chest without the needle without hesitation.The feeling of the cool fingers directly touching the skin was still too unfamiliar, and the dead leaf could not help but shrink its abdomen and dodge for a while.Gongsun rolled his eyes and stared at him, the dead leaf gritted his teeth, and after a while he lay down in compromise, with a heroic look on his face.

"Why are you shy!" Gongsun spat at him, and then pressed his shoulder hard.It was sour and swollen at that moment, the dead leaf almost gasped, and the abdominal cavity could not help but tighten again.Seeing his reaction, Gongsun squinted his eyes and smirked: "Tsk tsk, I can't tell. You are still a good baby. There are not many virgins at your age."

With one sentence, Dead Leaf's face turned red, and she felt ashamed.But Gongsun still felt that it wasn't enough, so he added another sentence unhurriedly: "Oh, Zhan Hao really picked a treasure, this is the first time." Not only his face, but also the dead leaves' neck and chest turned red. Standing up, against the scars on the face and the tattoos on the chest, it looks really special.

Gongsun snickered from the sidelines, and the breath he had been choked by him for a while was instantly relieved.Just as he was proud of himself, a loud voice exploded outside the door, rushing over from far to near: "Stupid, stupid! I bought you walnut sesame paste! Stupid?"

You don't need to hear this title to know it's Zhao Pu!Gongsun withdrew his hand helplessly, and as soon as he rolled his eyes, Zhao Pu stuck his head in through the window.He saw that in front of the bed, Gongsun was turning his head to stare at him unhappily, while Dead Ye was naked from the upper body, and his face was flushed.Ninth Prince's eyes stared, and his unreliable mind went wrong in an instant: "Ah! Kiss, you, what are you doing?"

"What can I do, what else can I do here?!" Gongsun stood up angrily, and couldn't help but touch his forehead: "I have a hand full of medicinal wine, what else can I do without pressing acupuncture points! You are full of tofu scum Scoundrel!" The miraculous doctor went out with gritted teeth while cursing, went out the window, twisted Zhao Pu's waist, and dragged his clothes to the back of the wall: "What did you buy, what are you talking about, you didn't see me doing something!"

"Hey!" Zhao Pu didn't know what he was doing behind the wall, anyway, the dead leaves heard a "suck" sound inside, and then Gongsun beat him again cursing.Just now I heard him shouting that it was walnut sesame paste, now the paper bag was rustling open, and after a while, the dead leaves were lying on the bed and smelled the fragrance.

"Well, it's so sweet, too much sugar." Gongsun took a bite, and couldn't help frowning.Zhao Pu squeezed his waist with a smile, and said in a low voice, "It's better to have some sweets, you see you are so thin, eat desserts to gain weight..."

"Okay, okay, I can't eat so much!"

Hearing the sound of their husband and wife fighting outside, Dead Leaf lowered her eyes sadly, and couldn't help but look away.Eat desserts to gain weight, this sentence, Zhan Hao seems to have said to him before.On a hot and humid night in Suzhou, he went to the kitchen to make sesame paste for himself, which was sweet and fragrant, and brought it to his room to eat for himself.Because I ate a lot of bitterness when I was young, I seldom picky eaters with dead leaves.Zhan Hao said that if he put in too much sugar by mistake, it might be a bit greasy, but he ate it up.Zhanjia’s sesame seeds are fried with lard before grinding. Even without sugar, he can probably eat two bowls just because of the aroma.

Tsk tsk, at that time Zhan Hao laughed when he saw it, and said, I love sweets so much, why don't you see you getting fat?

Now I think of his smiling eyebrows and his handsome face under the candlelight... Although he has only been away for a few days, the feeling of torment in his heart is like a few months.

Unconsciously, the days feel like years, and I haven't tasted the taste of feelings, but I already understand the hardship of thinking about a person.

When Kaifeng has entered the cool autumn, Changzhou Prefecture is still in the unbearable autumn tiger.Although it was quite cool at night, the sun was still hot during the day and the air was stuffy.But in the summer, the cicadas that kept barking all the time are gone, at least they can be clean.

In the past two days, the people of Changzhou Prefecture have been saying that the boss of the Zhan family who was mistakenly arrested in the Suzhou Prison some time ago is back!I saw his carriage coming in from the city gate... Hey, thanks to him, the cancer in the Lin family was eradicated, otherwise we would still be kept in the dark, and we would still go to the Yuehua Building for dinner!Tsk tsk, what a crime!

When Qiu Langxing heard Xin'er at home, he wanted to go to Zhan's house immediately, but he had no choice but his father forced him to go on a blind date.Use the tasseled gun passed down by his grandfather to light his back and not let him go. When he sees eight young ladies a day, he can't escape.It wasn't until the next day that I found an opportunity and sneaked out in the evening.

Flying all the way to the Zhan's house, looking up, the door of the Zhan's house was closed, there was no movement, and it looked lifeless under the twilight.Qiu Langxing clicked around twice at the door, blinked his eyes twice, stepped a little after a while, and fell into the wall with a "hula".

Chong Lian stood expressionlessly in the doorway between the vestibule and the middle courtyard, with her hands folded around her chest and a blade of grass in her mouth, looking at him coolly.As soon as Qiu Langxing landed on the ground, he saw her posture, and couldn't help but feel a sudden shock in his heart: "What happened to Zhan Hao?"

Chong Lian slightly raised her eyebrows, and said: "You are very clear. But I don't know, it seems to be serious."

"That's it..." The conjecture was confirmed, and Qiu Langxing was stunned for a while, with a dumbfounded expression on his face, "Ah, no, I have to go and have a look."

"You probably won't see him, so I just caught a glimpse of him when he came back yesterday morning." Chong Lian lightly spat out the grass stalk in her mouth, and leaned sideways in the door opening: "Ji Tang is taking care of him, but Don't say anything, we don't know anything outside. The young master also said that we don't see any visitors or anyone. "

Qiu Langxing stared at her, his eyes widened in disbelief: "Then will you let me pass?"

"Come on!" Chong Lian raised her eyes and glanced at him with a half-smile: "I didn't stop you. But you think about it, you may not see it when you go, but it is Zheng Dong who is guarding the next door." .”

Hearing this name, Qiu Langxing choked his breath in his throat, neither uttered nor swallowed, his eyes stared at the calm Chonglian, his face flushed red.Chong Lian waved her hand lazily at him, strolled to the edge of the grass by herself, stretched out her hand and pulled out another grass stalk.Seeing her relaxed appearance, Qiu Langxing silently felt wronged by Bara.He pursed his mouth and sniffed, dawdling, hesitating for a long time, and finally rubbed inside.

Going all the way to the lobby, Qiu Langxing saw Zheng Dong in the dim light of dusk.He was holding the hydrangea kitten in his hand, and he was teasing it, but when he heard the footsteps, he raised his head, and the expression on his face changed from tenderness to coldness in an instant.

Qiu Langxing's whole body froze, and his teeth clenched slightly.He looked a little embarrassed and a little evasive, but he didn't want to look directly at him.Zheng Dong frowned, his usually calm and kind face now showed a bit of cold emotion.He put the cat on his shoulders, stood up from the steps silently, and stood at the door, staring closely at Qiu Langxing.

"I, I'll take a look at Zhan Hao." Qiu Langxing hung his head in embarrassment, faltering, and his voice lacked momentum.Zheng Dong replied to him in a cold voice with no expression on his face: "Young Master, I don't see any guests."

Qiu Langxing stared sullenly, and twitched the corners of his mouth unwillingly.Compared with not being able to see Zhan Hao, what made him feel even more upset was Zheng Dong's attitude.Didn't he just get a few girls stuffed by his father, besides, he didn't think about it, what kind of face does this bastard put on... Thinking about it, my heart was silently terrified, and I didn't know why I had a guilty conscience when I first came in.Feeling annoyed, Qiu Langxing raised his eyebrows and slammed into it angrily.When he walked in front of Zheng Dong, he didn't even think about attacking him head-on—the door is so big, can he hide and walk?But just as he was about to squeeze over sideways, Zheng Dong grabbed his hand and pushed him out forcefully.

Qiu Langxing was pushed out by him for more than a foot, and now he was really annoyed, his face turned cold, and he turned around and flew towards the roof.As soon as he flew into the air, Zheng Dong raised his leg and hooked his sole, and pulled it down, dragging him to the ground in an instant.Qiu Langxing's eyes widened, this time there was really no way to let it go.Zheng Dong reached out and put down the little hydrangea, and caught his fist with a heavy palm, and the two started fighting back and forth in front of the hall.

"Mi, mi..." Little Hydrangea cried pitifully on the floor of the hall, the whistling wind in front of her made the little guy tremble a little with fright.It was throbbing on the ground, but the male owner who loved it in the past did not come to hug it, but continued to entangle with another person.Fortunately, after a while, a pair of warm slender hands picked it up.The little guy heard a familiar voice and yelled unceremoniously: "I want to fight outside! The young master will not see you if you don't see him. Qiu Langxing, you go back!"

Hearing this voice, the two of them stopped gnashing their teeth, turned around and saw that it was Min Wei who spoke.She was busy at the back, but when she heard the voice from here, she walked over from Zhan Hao's room to have a look.

"Go back, the young master will come to you naturally when he is well." The little girl cast a wary glance at Qiu Langxing, turned around and walked away with the cat in her arms.Zheng Dong pursed his lips tightly, his chest heaved, and Qiu Langxing was not much better.I haven't worked hard for a long time, and I'm out of breath after only a while.Zheng Dong turned his head, just in time to see him raising his hand to wipe his sweat, a thin layer of sweat appeared on his fair and handsome face, and after exercising, his lips became bright red.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Dong stretched out his hand in a daze, and pressed his lower lip lightly.Qiu Langxing was so frightened by his action that he jumped up and retreated half a foot away.Zheng Dong was also woken up by his movement, and both of them were a little embarrassed for a while.Staring at each other for a while, Qiu Langxing stiffened, rubbed his palms against the hem of his clothes, and then ran away like his butt was on fire.Looking at his figure jumping out of the wall in a panic in the dark sky, Zheng Dong pursed his lips hesitantly, and lowered his eyes regretfully.

In the dark and quiet room, there were no lights.Zhan Hao lay quietly on the bed, his eyes were slightly closed, and his breathing was weak.Ji Tang had just fed him and had gone out, and he was the only one left in the room.

Very quiet, very silent.Zhan Hao heard his own breathing, just a little bit, as if he could stop at any time.The speed of blood flow is also very slow, it flows slowly in the blood vessels, and even almost stagnates at some corners.

It's hard.

The windows facing the backyard were open, and the cool breeze was blowing outside like those nights long ago, only without the chirping of the bugs.The black cat is sitting lazily on the windowsill, with its gorgeous black fur, it almost blends into the night.Zhan Hao slowly opened his eyes, looked at it, looked at the darkness behind it, the last trace of Huoshaoyun had disappeared, and the night wind blew even more violently.

The flowers and trees in the backyard were blown loudly, and the restless grass leaves were rustling, covering up some unknown sounds.Therefore, when a pair of pale and broad hands reached out from the window to hug the black cat silently, Zhan Hao didn't notice the black cat's approach at all.

"It seems that your skill is really gone."

The visitor had a deep, gorgeous and warm voice, very similar to his, but with a little more calmness.Zhan Hao closed his eyes tiredly, curled up the corners of his mouth, and said hoarsely: "I thought you still didn't plan to come to see me."

"I'm definitely coming, but I didn't expect you to move so fast." The other party crawled in from the window with the cat in his arms, and sat lazily on the window sill, resting his feet on the bedside cabinet. Cozy.Zhan Hao tilted his head, and said in a low voice, "The soles of my shoes are so dirty, I'm ashamed to step on my cabinet."

"Do you care?" the man asked casually, then kicked off the shoe and stepped on it again.Zhan Hao closed his eyes, and laughed while coughing: "I stepped on it dirty just now, and now I'm stepping on it with socks..."

"Hahaha," the other party also laughed softly, shaking his head while laughing, "You still have the heart to joke with me, aren't you nervous at all, aren't you afraid that I'll send a white-haired person to a black-haired person?"

"You are wrong, you are also a black-haired person, why are you selling?"

"It's almost 59, not young anymore. In another year, I will have to accompany your mother." The man said, his tone gradually carried a trace of melancholy, and his voice became hoarse.As Zhan Hao listened, the smile gradually disappeared from his face.He recalled in his memory, many years ago... about 30 years ago, the scene of that woman saying goodbye at the intersection.They were separated back then, and they wanted to reunite in the end, but it could only be achieved in this way.

"When you left her at that time, did you go to look for the music score?" Zhan Hao lowered his eyes, and asked the person on the window sill that he should call "father".He knew that the man's name was Nie Qi, who used to be an advisor to the Chai family.On the fifth day of the first lunar month, the man will be 59 years old, and in one year, the poison of Yagi's running water will take effect, and he will die.

But he clearly knew the way to crack it.

"Yeah, I was looking for the music score, but unfortunately I didn't find it." Nie Qi stretched his hands and feet on the window sill, then lazily leaned on the edge of the window.In terms of laziness, they are all similar.Too tired, too tired, so when I saw something reliable, I wanted to stick it up, and I didn't want to spend any more effort.

"The time hasn't come yet, if God doesn't prepare to give it to me, I can't help it."

Zhan Hao was silent, he closed his eyes and opened them again after a long time.I couldn't see anything in the dark, so my eyes couldn't convey it: "Didn't I find it later, why didn't you come and ask me for it?"

Hearing this, Nie Qi thought it was funny: "What do you want to do? Your mother is already dead, so what's the point of living past sixty by myself."

After hearing his words, Zhan Hao was silent for a long time, and then slowly laughed: "That's right, that would be boring."

Living alone is indeed a very tiring thing.In the past, one was used to it, but when there is a loved one in the heart, being alone no longer means freedom and no worries, but loneliness—the loneliness of helplessness, the loneliness of not being able to ask for it.

His people have already felt too much about this.

"Speaking of which," Nie Qi was leaning against the window, lazily stroking the black cat in his arms, "Why did you give the last bit of internal energy to Lin Zhihuan? Why not give it to the Cen family's second child?"

"My internal strength can't help him," Zhan Hao frowned worryingly when he mentioned the dead leaves, "The kung fu he practiced was inherently sinister and has already hurt him to a certain extent. I haven’t practiced it before, so I don’t know. It’s a bit similar to Qishangquan. My internal strength will only hurt his muscles, bones and internal organs, but Lin Zhihuan is different. The drug addiction in his body is too deep-rooted. To pull it out as soon as possible, you must damage the tendons and get rid of the addiction."

"Anyway, it's to disperse the kung fu, save his life, and I will be clear with him." Zhan Hao said, closing his eyes again in the dark.After a while, Nie Qi heard him chuckle hoarsely twice, and said, "But after the gong power is gone, the process of poisoning is really uncomfortable. My whole body is painful and numb, and my eyes are still burning."

Nie Qi also smiled, glanced at him with the corner of his mouth curled up, and said, "You just stay next to each other, this is more uncomfortable round by round. When you lose all your eyesight, that is the most critical moment in the end." It's the turn."

"You mean, after that round, you'll be fine?"

"Anyway, that's what your grandpa told me, and you know I haven't tried it."

"Okay, then I'll endure it... I'll be fine after I get through it."

You can be with the little fox forever.

When the ginkgo tree in the front yard of Kaifeng Mansion begins to drop its leaves one after another, the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching.Autumn in the north is dry and cool, and the temperature is very comfortable.The quilt is very warm, just the right amount of warmth, sometimes it is too much to let the dead leaves fall asleep, and when you wake up, your head will be dizzy.These days Gongsun allowed him to get out of bed and walk. In the morning and evening, he got up and walked around the house, round and round, round and round.

He dare not go out.

If it was before, Dead Leaf would definitely not admit to himself that he didn't dare, he would say that he didn't want to.But after such things, sometimes lying in bed, he would think about what he had done before.If he said that he avenged the family, he didn't know if it was correct, after all, he had no feelings for the family, and the only thing he cared about was his brother's death.

If my brother is still alive, knowing that he killed so many innocent people for revenge, I don't know what he will say.

Sometimes I think, he is so full of evil and killed countless people, but now he is recuperating in Kaifeng mansion openly.Mr. Bao didn't know what he was thinking, he actually left him as a killer alone, Lin Zhihuan was locked in a cell in the back mountain, but he was being taken good care of...

If those souls who died at their own hands knew about it, they would definitely be outraged, and probably wonder why this guy didn't die at the bottom of the Half Moon Lake.

Don't you also think that death is the most practical destination?Then why don't you die?

Looking at herself in the mirror now, she is skinny, half of her face is scarred, and she has a monk's head shaved... Dead Leaf really doesn't know how to get out of the room and be pointed at by others.Forget about the grandson, forget about the fourth son, what about the maids, what about the servants?Even Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang.

When thinking of those people, people like that, Dead Leaf couldn't help feeling irritable.I felt uncomfortable thinking about it, and then I simply didn't want to.Day by day, I just circle around the room.Yes, he didn't dare, so he didn't dare, anyway, he didn't need to admit this to others.

As he walked around the house, he closed the window several times and peeked out through the crack.He could see in the yard, the little girl who took care of the patients was busy carrying towels and water basins, sometimes the kitchen girl would come to deliver meals, and Gongsun came to see other patients.Little Sizi is Daddy's little tail, and Xiao Liangzi will appear occasionally to be Little Sizi's little tail.The half-grown boy, already tall and straight, full of energy, was well-bred by Zhao Pu.Withered Ye looked at his slender muscles and bones, feeling depressed and envious day by day.

I don't know how long it will take for my martial arts to return to its original level.The only advantage is gone, and now he is equivalent to a useless person.

Thinking of what Zhan Hao said to him, wait for him to return to Changzhou...but what can he do when he goes back?Zhan Hao says he likes him, but how can he make Zhan Hao like him?Ugly, weak, and bad-tempered, how can he be worthy of him, who is both civil and military, and knows everything?

Outside the window, Zhao Pu would often come, chasing Gongsun around with a salivating face, and groping him in the yard.One of them is tall, one is gentle, one is arrogant, and the other is gentle. They seem to be completely different from each other, but they fit together seamlessly.Sometimes the pink and tender little four squeezed in between the two of them, and even a cold and rigid person like Dead Leaf couldn't help feeling envious of that scene.

A complete home, a perfect family of three.

The more I look at it, the more I feel the pain in my heart.I don't know what is sore, and I don't know what is hurting.Now he only knows that there is such a feeling, which is always entrenched in his heart, which cannot be relieved or dismissed.Depressed, he had to go to the other side of the room and open another window.Outside that window is a small forest, and the back mountain can be seen farther away.It is autumn now, and some deciduous trees are beginning to turn their leaves yellow, and the forest is red and green, which is worth seeing.

So the dead leaves stood like this, standing in front of the window, watching those dry leaves float to the ground one by one.Sometimes when it rains, the soil buries the wet and soft fallen leaves, and the leaves are half covered in the soil, looking messy and desolate.

At that moment, Dead Leaf suddenly began to hate her own code name that she had used for more than ten years.

Dead leaves, dead leaves, in fact, it doesn't sound good at all.

It was also at that moment that he began to think about Zhan Hao again... Thinking about that person, he insisted on calling him by his real name no matter what.Occasionally, he remembered that he was in Suzhou, and Zhan Hao slipped his tongue and called him "little fox".

He never knew that he still had such a name in other people's hearts.

It felt a little sour for a while, but it seemed a little sweet again.This feeling was strange, good, but also bad, and it made him feel uncomfortable again... flustered, his chest pounding.

He didn't know a certain emotion that others were always talking about, and he hadn't tasted it.But at this moment, it seemed that all the facts pointed to that answer, and he could hardly deny it to himself.

During the time when the leaves are falling one by one, the days are like running water, and it is gradually approaching the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Dead Leaf remembered that his birthday was on the third day after the Mid-Autumn Festival.Although no one has celebrated for himself for a long time, he still remembers clearly that one year when he fled to Jiangling, his elder brother stole half a roast duck from a restaurant that day.For the golden and plump roast duck, the eldest brother took the fattest and tenderest duck leg and gave it to him, with a gentle smile on his face, he said, our little one is eight years old.

Eight years old, twenty-five years old, 17 years passed in a blink of an eye.

Kaifeng Mansion is very busy even during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhan Zhao is patrolling the streets outside, Mr. Bao was promoted to trial two cases in the morning, not to mention Gongsun, who sat in the medical hall all day long.The fourth son learned how to see a doctor from his father, and stayed at the table all the time, while Xiao Liangzi and Zhao Pu stayed in the mansion to practice kung fu, but the Ninth Prince was thinking of his wife, so he sat beside him and gave directions absent-mindedly.

The servants in the mansion are also busy, killing chickens and ducks, preparing moon cakes, melons and fruits, and the more lively it gets in the evening.Dead Leaves stood in the window and watched the people bustle around outside. The little maids walked to the other side with fruit plates full of fruits, probably setting up an incense table for offering sacrifices to the moon.On the downwind side of the kitchen, there were shouts and shouts one after another.Give in, give in, take these chickens over there, and get over the water later... The lady in the kitchen really can't cover her throat.

Compared to the hustle and bustle over there, the ward is much cleaner.The dead leaves stared blankly at the window, and the hibiscus bloomed in the yard, a large group of white or pink flowers, delicate and fragrant.The day before, Xiao Sizi wandered among the flowers, looked at him with big eyes slyly, and asked, "Little Ye Zi, do you know what kind of flower this is?"

After looking at the dead leaf for a long time, I felt that this leaf was familiar. I seemed to have seen it at Zhan’s house, but I didn’t know the name, so I honestly answered: “I don’t know.” The fourth son laughed, picked a flower and stood on tiptoe Put your toes on the window sill, push it down to him, and said with a smile on your eyes: "This flower is called Hibiscus, it can reduce swelling and drain pus, Dad told me."

The dead leaves quietly picked up the snow-white flower with eyes downcast, but they couldn't help but think in their hearts, it's autumn, what other flowers will Zhanjia bloom besides this hibiscus?If he was not in Kaifeng at this time, but in Changzhou, Zhan Hao probably would have told him the name of the flower during the meal without waiting for him to ask.It's a pity that he is not in Changzhou now, nor in Zhanjia.Before he heard the name of the flower, the only one who would tell him the answer was this little doll.

The sun has gradually slanted to the west, and the color of the light is slowly taking on a layer of warm golden yellow.The grass in the yard has changed color due to the change of seasons. The original green grass tips gradually turned yellow, looking dry and hairy.This reminded Dead Leaf that the ends of her own hair were also dry and frizzy, and when the sun shone, it turned yellow and ugly, which was unsightly.According to this, now the hair is gone, but it is still clean and tidy, and there is no need to trim it frequently, which is clean and convenient.

He touched his two-finger-high cropped head, and his stiff hair was tied up, looking very healthy.I hope that after staying longer this time, it won't be as miserable as before, but it is estimated that it will be three or four years later.

It is easy to cut the hair short, and it will be gone in one click.But it will take several years to grow into its original shape.

Touching the scar on the back of her head, Dead Leaf closed the window silently.All the liveliness, festivities, happiness, or reunions outside belong to them and others, and he has nothing of his own.

Some assumptions can't be thought of, and I can't help but feel uncomfortable when I think about it.He is not in Changzhou Mansion, and the eldest brother cannot be resurrected from the dead.The current Zhan's house is probably full of lights and festoons, even if Zhan Hao doesn't care, those little girls will definitely not be able to bear it.He remembered that there were no sweet-scented osmanthus in the courtyard of the Zhan family. If they wanted to admire the moon and win the sweet-scented osmanthus, a large group of them would probably have to go outside...

Just when I was about to think about where those people would go, there was a whisper from outside the window.
