Ambush from all sides
Chapter 45
At three o'clock in the morning, Zhan's breakfast started on time.The young Zhan family, who has no interest in eating since the poisoning, sat at the table early today very rarely.When all the dishes and rice were served, he picked up his chopsticks and ate without waiting for Ji Tang to greet him.
Min Wei and Yu Ke on the side looked at him as if they were watching a ghost, their eyes widened.Although Zhan Hao was blindfolded with gauze, he could still feel the strange atmosphere at the dinner table, so he raised his head while drinking the porridge and asked inexplicably, "What's the matter, why don't you guys eat?"
Yu Ke was silent, Min Wei looked at her, then at Ji Tang, and said, "Master, do you feel unwell today?"
Zhan Hao looked at her expressionlessly. If his eyes hadn't been covered, Min Wei believed that he would have blinked innocently: "I'm fine today, why do you ask that?"
When Min Wei heard it, she fell silent immediately, and sat quietly to eat.Ji Tang and Yu Ke also quickly picked up their chopsticks to eat.Breakfast is porridge with eel slices, tofu brain and a few small stir-fries, which are not too greasy and more appetizing.Zhan Hao quietly and quickly finished a bowl of porridge, then stretched out his hand and handed the bowl to Ji Tang: "Help me another bowl."
So the little girls stared stiffly again.Ji Tang was quite calm, took the bowl of porridge and handed it back, but she held out her hand, but Zhan Hao didn't take it.Ji Tang was surprised, so he asked, "Master, are you going to eat again?" Zhan Hao shook his head innocently, and said, "Help me get some food, I just drank all the porridge."
This time, Min Wei's eyes were completely rounded, and her upper limbs were almost petrified.Zhan Hao was leisurely, took the porridge bowl to eat and drink, and took a sip from the small wine glass at the side from time to time.After eating half a bowl, he seemed to think of something, then raised his head and asked, "Hey, Minwei, when will my parents come back?"
Minwei blinked, woke up from the petrification, thought for a while, and said: "They will not come back until the day after tomorrow. There are a lot of things going on in Suzhou, Buzhuang, Longbaiju, etc. Uncle Zhong is still bringing them I'm dealing with Di Deqing." After speaking, he bit his chopsticks and thought hard about what else to do... Suddenly remembered, he said again: "Ah, and, Mr. Gongsun said that he would come here on the eighth day of the lunar new year. Help you look at your eyes and see if you need to change your medicine. In addition, the second young master said that he will not be staying in the empty island for a long time, Fang Qiu misses you, and will return tomorrow."
"Come back tomorrow?" Zhan Hao suddenly raised his head from the bowl, his brows furrowed: "Tell him not to come back, take Fang Qiu to play for a few more days, hold him back, and come back with Gongsun on the eighth day .”
"Why?" Min Wei stared, pressed the chopsticks on the bowl, and said dissatisfiedly: "I miss Fang Qiu! He wants to come back, but you still don't let him come back, do you regret raising him?!"
Zhan Hao shrugged his shoulders and shook his head, curling his lips into a smile: "I have something to do, and if they come back in such a rush, it will cause bad things."
Hearing what he said, Min Wei couldn't help but look at Ji Tang suspiciously: "What can you do?"
Zhan Hao raised his eyebrows, with a faint smile on his face: "I want to catch a small animal."
When Ji Tang heard this, he was taken aback for a moment, then Min Wei, and then Yu Ke, one after another were dumbfounded.It took a while for Ji Tang to react slowly, feeling a little unbelievable in his heart: "Little animal, are you back?"
"Ah, I'm back." Zhan Hao finished his second bowl of porridge calmly, and reached out to ask Ji Tang for a cup of tea to rinse his mouth.Min Wei also reacted at this time, somehow silently felt a little reconciled, so she pursed her lips and said angrily: "Hmph, whether you can catch it or not is one thing, look at you skinny, Can't see it anywhere."
Zhan Hao was not angry when he heard this, and the smile on his face was still calm: "Do you think that the hunter will let the prey escape a second time? Letting him go the first time is to give him a chance to regret it, and now he is back , don’t even think about running away.”
Little fox, little fox, you know, what I have been waiting so hard for is this day.
When Zhan Hao was eating with the little maids in the dining room, the dead leaves, who were worried about Zhan Hao's eyes, fumbled out from the back hill, and climbed into the room anxiously and struggling.
He wanted to see if Zhan Hao really lived here.
And the answer is obvious.
In the room, Zhan Hao's usual change of clothes and cape are there, and his shoes are also on the pedals.The quilt on the bed was not folded, and the pillows were crooked... Dead Ye walked to the bed holding her breath, and saw her summer dress messed up by the cats at the head of the bed, and the white or black cat stuck to the quilt hair.
On the table next to the bed, the original glazed yellow horn comb was still there, placed in front of the mirror, with a long black hair wrapped around the comb teeth.The dead leaf gently picked it up and removed the hair.It was dark and cool, and it no longer had the body temperature of a human being.
Dead Ye remembered that half a year ago, in Suzhou, Zhan Hao had combed his tangled hair.That night, Li Feifei fell asleep in front of Zhan Hao's room, so he begged for nothing to sleep with him.While lying on the bed, he felt Zhan Hao stroke his hair.At that time, he pulled his hair back impatiently and hid it in front of him.Now, even if he wanted to, he couldn't let Zhan Hao comb his hair.
Zhan Hao is already blind.
Thinking of this fact, Dead Leaf's already heavy heart ached even more, and the sour emotions in his chest almost drowned him deeply, making his nose and eyes feel uncomfortable.Withered Ye clutched the comb, sat down on the chair dejectedly, looked at the familiar furnishings around her, and at the unfamiliar clothes of Zhan Hao in the room.Thinking of the pride of his generation, the most capable young leader in Jiangnan, but now he has become like this... He began to regret, did he do something wrong?
At that time in Kaifeng mansion, should he come back directly?Still, he shouldn't have come to Changzhou last year.
Confusedly looking up at the sky outside the window, the hour is about to pass, Zhan Hao probably finished his breakfast soon.Dead Leaves hung its head, slowly put down the comb and stood up, and was about to leave when a shadow flashed by the window without a sound.He didn't see it, but felt a little darkness in front of him—someone walked by!Withered Ye raised her head in astonishment, and saw Zhan Hao walking in quietly while leaning on the wall at the door.
At that moment, he felt that the blood in his body was about to flow backwards, and his whole body tensed up. He didn't dare to breathe out for a while, so he could only stand stiffly in front of the table.The only thing that Dead Leaf thinks about now is that fortunately Zhan Hao can't see, so he probably doesn't know that he is here.He just needs to wait for Zhan Hao to come over, then walk around the table from the other side and sneak out quietly.But Zhan Hao seemed to know what he was thinking, after walking in, he turned around and closed the door!
When Dead Leaf saw it, she was dumbfounded, but when she turned her face and saw the rear window, she thought that she could still run from behind.But he didn't expect that after Zhan Hao closed the door, he tilted his head, coughed twice, and muttered, "Why is the wind so strong..." After saying that, he groped his way to the rear window, opened the window Also bolted!Now Dead Leaf is really in a hurry, he doesn't want to be bumped into by Zhan Hao like this, he is still mentally prepared, and has no idea how to face him.But now, the only exit of the whole room is the window next to her. Withered Ye gritted her teeth and made a decisive decision - jump out of the window!
He jumped up anxiously, with his toes on the chair a little, and then he was about to jump out.But at this time, a black and white shadow suddenly flew out in front of his eyes, and rushed towards him!The dead leaf was startled, and quickly pulled away in mid-air, then fell back to the original place.The little thing was also taken aback, and the body that had just jumped into the air arched up, and let out a sharp and frantic cry: "Meow!"
It turned out to be Xiaojiao.She probably wanted to enter the room, but the door was closed, so she wanted to jump in through the window, and happened to bump into a dead leaf.Withered Leaf stood firm beside the bed, looking at her in shock, while the cat landed lightly on the side of the chair.
Zhan Hao heard the movement, turned his head and walked towards this side in doubt, and asked in a low voice while walking: "Xiaojiao, what's wrong with you?"
"Miuu—" The little horned girl stared at the dead leaves a little unhappyly, and flicked her tail vigorously.Seeing Zhan Hao approaching, Dead Leaf was anxious and wanted to jump out of the window, but Xiao Jiao kept blocking him, so he had no choice but to go around to the other side of the room.Zhan Hao walked slowly towards the bed, walked around the table, and gradually walked in front of the dead leaf.The dead leaves pressed against the side of the bed nervously, and quietly moved out in the opposite direction of Zhan Hao... When Zhan Hao walked to the bed, he also smoothly moved to the other side of the room.
"Little Jiao, what's wrong with you?" Zhan Hao walked up to the little guy and squatted down, reaching out to hug her up.At this time, Dead Leaf was struggling with the bolt of the window in a hurry, Little Horn remained calm, staring straight at him with a pair of golden eyes.After a while, seeing the dead leaf quietly pushed open the third bolt, and was about to slowly open the window, Xiao Jiao suddenly let out a sharp "meow" in Zhan Hao's arms, and then it was like a small cannonball. rushed towards him.
Dead Leaf was shocked immediately, he didn't care about the window or escape, at this moment, he only thought about how to get rid of this little villain.Xiaojiao didn't rush at him, but circled around his feet and yelled "meow meow".Now that the baby has grown up, his combat prowess has improved to a higher level than when he was a child. His slender and flexible body tangles back and forth between the dead leaves' feet, making him flustered.
He wanted to drive the little guy away, but he was helpless and unable to make a sound, so he could only keep waving at her.But Xiao Jiao still yelled around him, with a look of reluctance.Zhan Hao felt that something was wrong, but he didn't seem to intend to come here, so he sat on the edge of the bed and asked in a low voice, "Little Jiao, what's the matter, did something come in? Stop making trouble, come here, I don't feel well, want to Go to sleep."
Dead Leaf heard his soft and low voice, as if he was short of breath, couldn't help worrying, and couldn't help slowing down his evasive movements.Although Zhan Hao's eyes were covered with gauze, he could still see his face.He used to be pale, but at least he was very energetic, but now, his face showed a pale color, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly, as if he had no strength.Dead Leaf looked at him anxiously, not knowing what to do for a while.But when he was distracted, Xiaojiao jumped into his arms with a "hula".The dead leaf was taken aback, and hurriedly hugged the ancestor.Satisfied, the cat nestled into his arms. The first thing she did was to bury her nose in his chest and take a deep breath. Then, she showed a dizzy enjoyment expression on her face.
The dead leaves choked her throat... I was speechless, and I was really helpless now.Zhan Hao heard that Xiao Jiao stopped barking over there, so he smiled self-consciously, lowered his body, and clapped his hands towards him: "Xiao Jiao, isn't it fun anymore? Come here to sleep, there is your favorite Clothes."
Hearing his call, Xiaojiao rolled his eyes at him, as if to say, Huh, everyone is here with me, why don't you care about the rags?don't go!When I saw the dead leaves, I couldn't help laughing and crying.Zhan Hao didn't get a response there, he stretched out his hand to support the bed frame, and then stood up again, as if he was going to catch the cat.Dead Leaf was shocked, and quickly threw the little horn towards him, while she quickly fled to the other side of the room and hid behind the partition.But the girl Xiaojiao didn't agree, she was so tempered, she thought hey, you stupid human being, why did you throw me? !Almost as soon as it landed, she ran towards the dead leaves again.
my God!Dead Leaf sat behind the partition, seeing this guy running to her side again, finally couldn't help crying.He frantically waved away the cat, spit on her silently, saying go, don't touch me, go find Zhan Hao, don't come here!I don't hug you, go away!go there!go go go go...
One person and one cat fought for more than [-] rounds. Xiaojiao probably felt annoyed, or her arrogant temper came up. Seeing that this bastard refused to hug her again, she twisted her buttocks and raised her tail. Angrily left.Zhan Hao sat on the edge of the bed, not moving in any way, just listening quietly, a smile slowly appeared on his lips.
Withered Leaf twisted and shrank behind the partition, seeing Xiaojiao jumped onto the bed, and the guy had to turn his head and stare at himself before getting into the bed, which made him a little depressed.He saw Zhan Hao take off his coat slowly, lie down on the bed, pull up the quilt to cover his body, as if he really wanted to rest.While feeling sad that his body was so weak, Dead Leaf also stood up slowly, ready to wait for the opportunity to sneak away.
But as soon as he took a step from behind the partition, another snow-white figure jumped in from the window—the little mandarin duck that he hadn't seen for a long time fell to the ground, and unexpectedly saw the sneaky man on the other side of the room for the first time. he.When Dead Leaf stared dumbfounded at this guy rushing towards him with a happy expression on his face, he could only think in relief, it's over, he really can't leave now.
On the other side of the room, Zhan Hao, who was lying comfortably on the bed, curled the corners of his mouth leisurely, listening to the sticky cat meowing over there, and the rubbing sound of someone's clothes when he was in a hurry.He wrapped up the quilt helplessly and comfortably, hugged Xiaojiao tightly, took a deep breath, and then fell asleep slowly.
He is not in a hurry, he is not in a hurry.The little fox is back, so don't try to run away this time.
After that day, all the little maids of the Zhan family knew that the young master's scarfaced guard had returned as a shadow guard.The little girls tacitly agreed, seeing that Zhan Hao ate more food, had more calm expressions, and inexplicably smirked more——Yu Ke sighed silently in her heart, the dead leaves are just blind pills. , where does Mr. Gongsun make any medicine? As soon as he comes back, the young master has almost nothing to do.
Seeing that the young master came back to life, Ji Tang also breathed a sigh of relief.The other little maids may not know, but she still doesn't know.Some time ago Zhan Hao pretended nothing happened, but the dead silence and concentration in his heart could not be covered up with plainness.The calmer he behaved, the more disappointed and dead-hearted he was.Now, seeing him smile, seeing him start to calculate again, that's really good.
In fact, at that moment, the moment when the withered leaves ran away in a hurry, what was Zhan Hao thinking in his heart.He really couldn't believe it, the little fox came back and stood in front of his eyes just now.Zhan Hao was stunned in place at the time, holding Xiao Jiao in his arms for a while, his arms tightened uncontrollably, he was shocked, happy, and depressed at the same time.His persistence turned out to be meaningful—he waited for this moment, and he didn't lose this bet.
Although there is a saying that until the end, it is not certain whether you will win or lose.But as long as the dead leaves come back, it means that he has won.
Now, Zhan Hao knows that his little fox is not far from him.Although he has been hiding and refusing to show his presence, he can hear and feel the delicate breathing suppressed by the dead leaves, as well as the rapid and restless heartbeat.
The feeling of being spied on by his sweetheart is very strange, even though Zhan Hao knows where the dead leaves are hidden.He knows that when he sleeps, the dead leaves curl up on the beams; when he takes a walk in the garden, the dead leaves lie on the roof; They all stick to him, which makes Zhan Hao feel very satisfied.
Everyone wants to be the only one in the eyes of their lover.
Although, those eyes were not full of admiration—the dead leaves were still kept in the dark, and they didn't know what his physical condition was, so they always looked at him with distressed and depressed eyes, which made Zhan Hao Feeling a little contradictory.To be honest, he wished that he looked more wise and mighty, but unfortunately his body was not strong enough, and he hadn't recovered from the weight loss before, so he looked sickly.But forget it, it's not a bad thing for the little fox to feel sorry for himself, since he has this heart, then... just cooperate with him.
So Young Master Zhan went to the servant girl and gave orders, saying that these days, you should pretend to be sad and depressed, and you are not allowed to show a festive look!Especially that one, Min Wei!I know you have a lot of bad intentions, so keep your mouth shut and don't stare at me!
Ji Tang snickered when he heard this, and later asked Zhan Hao on the way to clean the east courtyard, saying, young master, are you so willing to make Big Brother Cen sad?
With a calm face, Zhan Hao pursed his lips and replied with a light smile, doesn't he feel sorry for me?I want him to love me forever.
See you abandon me, see you are willing to let me go.Young Master Zhan thought sinisterly, the corners of his mouth curled up in a black belly.When we were about to arrive at the East Courtyard in a while, he stretched out a hand for Ji Tang to hold, adjusted his pale face, and walked into the peeping range of his little fox, pretending to be weak.
Zhan Hao is scheming here, but the dead leaves are not feeling well over there.He was already worried about Zhan Hao's body, but when he played tricks like this again, he felt even more worried and sad, blamed himself and felt awkward, always feeling that he had made a huge mistake.Looking at Zhan Hao's thin sleeping face in the middle of the night, the more he looked at it, the more sour he felt, the more sour he felt, the more he hated himself.The fox cub was always sitting under the outer window and pulling hay stalks. He felt distressed while pulling, and within two days he pulled the sod bare.
Zhan Hao has been in the room and hasn't been out much, that is, he would go around the dining room when eating.At first, Dead Leaf was worried about why Ji Tang didn't bring the food here for Zhan Hao to eat, but when he thought about it, if that was the case, Zhan Hao probably wouldn't go out at all.Going back and forth between the east courtyard and the main courtyard so often now can barely be regarded as a relaxation.
Apart from eating and bathing, Zhan Hao has been staying in this small courtyard.The dead leaves nestled on the beams of the house, watching him sitting by the window, staring at the yard in a daze, or walking in the yard, occasionally squatting down, groping for a handful of snow in his hands, and playing with it in the palm of his hand. a play.His fingers were slender and blue and white, and his nails were bloodless, as if they had been frozen by the cold snow.
At these times, Dead Leaf couldn't help worrying, wondering why Ji Tang wasn't here, why wasn't Yuke here, why did they just leave Zhan Hao alone like this?Sometimes, when Zhan Hao was sitting at the table groping for snacks, he would accidentally knock the snacks on the floor, or touch the cups and teacups, and there would be a "jingling" sound.Seeing his bewildered and helpless appearance, Dead Leaf felt that her heart was about to be broken... Only then did she understand what heartache is.It turns out that the heart really hurts, as if someone is holding it and kneading it hard.
For the matter in front of him, the little fox, who was caught in self-blame and distress, naturally had no time to think too much. In fact, as long as he studied carefully, he would be able to find the problem.For example, Zhan Hao was blind, but why did he turn on the lamp when it got dark at night? ——Isn’t it just to let him peek more clearly!Also, I closed the window when I entered the room on the first day, saying it was cold, but why didn't I close it after that?It's not just to make it easier for him to peep!Moreover, before the body was so good that I could sleep in the snow, but now, I cough and have chills all day long, as if a gust of wind could blow me down... To put it bluntly, these are special services for dead leaves, didn't they say that, Let him be distressed for a lifetime!
But speaking of it, Dead Leaf's straight head probably won't be able to think so much for a while, tell him, maybe he will feel even more uncomfortable and distressed.Light up when it gets dark?That's because he's blind, what's wrong with lighting a lamp to comfort himself?Always not paying attention to closing the window, it means that he doesn't care about his body, and he has nothing to love in life!Sleeping in the snow before—he made it worse by sleeping in the snow!Look at that pale face and thin body...
Therefore, the goal of the exhibition family was easily achieved.
On the morning of the eighth day of the lunar new year, Zhan Zhao brought little Fang Qiu back from Xingkong Island.
As soon as Fang Qiu entered the door, he kept muttering "Uncle Zhan, Uncle Zhan". When Zhan Zhao entered the door with the child wrapped in clothes wrapped like a ball, he could smell the smell of food wafting from the dining room.Curiously, he ran over to hold Fang Qiu in his arms, and saw Zhan Hao and the group of little girls having breakfast, and the table was extraordinarily sumptuous.
"Uncle Zhan!" Fang Qiu yelled crisply, struggling to get down.Zhan Zhao put him down, and he rushed towards Zhan Hao with his short legs.As soon as Zhan Hao heard his voice, he felt his legs being hugged in a short while.He smiled faintly, put down the bowls and chopsticks, hugged the child on his lap and sat down, reached out to touch his cool little face, and asked softly, "Fang Qiu, are you having fun in the empty island?"
"Hmm..." Fang Qiu lowered her eyes and didn't look at him, she puffed her mouth and tugged at his collar, "Unhappy."
When Zhan Hao heard it, he immediately laughed out loud, and put the child into his arms: "Why? You said you were not having a good time, your brother Zhan Zhao is going to cry." Zhan Zhao heard this, and immediately stood aside cooperatively Put on a mournful expression.Fang Qiu cautiously raised his eyes to look at him, then buried his head in guilt for a while and said, "I'm not happy to think that Uncle Zhan is alone and can't see me." As he spoke, his little head poked around and hid his face behind Zhan Hao's body. Before, don't let Zhan Zhao see.Seeing Zhan Zhao, he couldn't help but smile wryly, and reached out to touch his little head.
Zhan Hao also laughed. He stretched out his hand to pat his younger brother, kissed Fang Qiu's forehead, and said in a low voice, "Uncle Zhan is well. Although he can't see him now, he's fine..." As he spoke, he turned his face slightly and looked sideways. Xiang Zhanzhao murmured meaningfully, "It's okay. The little animal raised by your uncle Zhan came back, and his eyes will heal in a few days."
When Zhan Zhao heard this, he was a little taken aback.Sensing the change in his mood, Zhan Hao immediately stretched out his hand and gave him a soft "shh", then pointed to the east courtyard: "I've been spying on me for the past few days, seeing me like this makes me feel so guilty."
"Really... are you back?" Zhan Zhao was a little surprised, he couldn't believe that the dead leaves really came back, and he hid and peeked, not daring to show up!While unbelievable, he couldn't help but want to laugh.This time they were hiding and flickering, the two of them really... Zhan Xiaomao twitched the corner of his mouth, and then said cautiously for a while: "This time, can't you run away?"
Zhan Hao's lips were curled up, if his eyes were exposed at this time, the expression inside must be leisurely and sly: "I can't run away, if I let him run away again, I will be in vain all these years. "
Hearing what he said, Zhan Zhao finally completely let go of the anxiety he had been feeling for the past few months.He breathed a sigh of relief, leaned back into the chair as if he was relieved, and muttered lazily: "Hurry up and take him down, but don't let anything go wrong..."
Zhan Hao lowered his face and chuckled, Fang Qiu rubbed against his arms twice, then turned his head after a while, and asked with blinking eyes: "Little animal, what is it?"
"Little animal, it's just an awkward little fox." Zhan Hao hugged and kneaded him a few times, smiled for a while, then turned to Zhan Zhao and said, "Well, isn't the leave Master Bao gave you almost over? Now It's all right, you don't have to worry about it, just go back when it's time to go, and I'll send you a letter when the matter is over."
"Ang!" Zhan Zhao pouted, staring half-truthfully dissatisfied: "Your daughter-in-law is going to drive my younger brother away?"
Zhan Hao smiled helplessly, stretched out his legs and kicked him: "Ang, why is he timid, and if there are too many people, he will scare him away again! Come on, go with your Bai Wushuangsu Shuangfei, all tricks here It's annoying to be jealous."
Hearing him speak like this, Zhan Zhao finally believed that his brother had really returned to his original appearance.So he grinned his teeth with a playful smile, reached out and grabbed a duck leg and ran away lightly.The little Fang Qiu was still nestling in Zhan Hao's arms, biting his little lip, frowning, thinking in doubt: Daughter-in-law?Is Uncle Zhan going to marry a wife?
Why is Uncle Zhan marrying a wife?He, isn't he with the masked brother?
Not long after eating at noon, Fang Qiu, who had washed up, dragged the little mandarin duck from the main courtyard, and ran to the east courtyard with a pair of wooden slippers.Zhan Hao sat in front of the door, and heard the child's footsteps from a distance.He smiled inscrutably, and keenly felt that the breathing outside the window behind him was obviously faster.
"Uncle Zhan!" The little guy hugged the little white mandarin duck with both hands, and ran all the way from outside the yard with great effort.Zhan Hao smiled at him unhurriedly, and when he heard the voice come to his side, his leg was heavy, and a furry creature licked his chin.Fang Qiu complained in a low voice: "Little mandarin duck is so fat!" while climbing onto his knees with all hands and feet.Zhan Hao stretched out his hands to hug them both, rubbed his chin against the child's ear, and asked in a low voice: "Fang Qiu, are you here to play with me?"
"Well," Fang Qiu buried his head in serious hesitation for a while, and said, "I, I'm here to see if Xiao Jiao is there..."
"Her," Zhan Hao tilted his head, with a meaningful smile on his face, "She seems to have been abducted by someone recently, and she doesn't come home all the time, so she comes back to sleep with me at night." Just after saying this, Zhan Hao heard a low "Mi" coming from behind the window, but the sound was too small, so Fang Qiu didn't hear it.
"Abducted?!" Fang Qiu became nervous when he heard this, and his face was a little anxious: "Then, will she come back tonight?"
"Well, I should be back, or you come to sleep with me tonight?"
"Well, good." Fang Qiu answered in a low voice, and then silently buried his face in Cheng Hao's collar.He covered his face like this for a while, then asked sullenly, "Uncle Zhan, that...Brother Mask, isn't he coming back?"
Zhan Hao bent his lips, lowered his head and kissed the little guy's hair: "Fang Qiu misses him again?"
"Well, I miss my brother. I haven't seen my brother for a long time. I want to see my brother." Fang Qiu said while patting Zhan Hao's furry collar with his small hands.Zhan Hao stretched out his hand and squeezed the little guy's little hand, and said softly, "He probably won't come back until later. He's having a temper tantrum with your Uncle Zhan, and he doesn't want to see me."
When Fang Qiu heard this, he raised his head immediately, stared straight at Zhan Hao, and said in a serious voice: "Brother, is it because you are going to marry a wife that he doesn't come back?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhan Hao heard the person behind the window stop breathing and his heart beat faster.He raised his lips uncontrollably, but his voice still pretended to be flat and lost: "If your brother doesn't come back, where can I get a wife?"
"Then, brother Zhan said just now that you want a wife and not him?!" The child refused to let go, pouted and pinched his face.Zhan Hao dodges for a moment, thinking that this kid is good at courage!But there was still a smile on his face: "Of course I want a wife! Why do I want Brother Zhan? He belongs to someone else, and my wife is mine."
"But, Brother Mask is not your wife either! You two are not married." The little guy stretched out his hand and pushed Zhan Hao's shoulder unhappily, pouted his little mouth high.Zhan Hao was overjoyed, and keenly felt that another opportunity to pretend to be pitiful had come!So he lowered his expression, put on a dejected look, and his voice became hoarse in an instant: "Yeah, he doesn't like me, and I don't know where he is, even if he comes back... oh, I hope he You're with me, but as I am now, I'm sick and ugly, let's forget it, so as not to be disliked by others."
Seeing him like this, Fang Qiu couldn't help showing a worried and sad look on his face.He put his arms around Zhan Hao's neck, and whispered, "Uncle Zhan, you said at breakfast that your eyes are about to heal, don't lie to me..."
"Yes, my eyes are almost healed, I'll be fine soon, don't be sad, it's fine..." Zhan Hao comforted him while listening carefully to the movement outside the window, as expected, the breath of the people outside the window subsided instantly Condensed a lot.At this time, Xiaojiao probably noticed something was wrong beside him, and Zhan Hao heard a cat meowing again.The little mandarin duck also heard the sound, and its ears froze for a moment, then jumped down to the ground in a hurry, and ran to the rear window.
Fang Qiu's face was facing that way, and he saw the little mandarin duck jumping out of the window twice from the ground, and then, a figure jumped up somewhat staggeringly, but immediately crooked behind the wall.
"Ah, there's someone! Uncle Zhan, there's someone outside the window!" Fang Qiu stared, straightened up and shouted loudly.Zhan Hao almost didn't laugh out loud, but still put on a puzzled expression cooperatively, stood up holding Fang Qiu in his arms, and walked towards the back window while groping: "Is anyone there? Fang Qiu, did you read it wrong? "
"That's right, that's right! A man with short hair, he's outside!"
Zhan Hao walked to the window with the little guy in his arms, and the two poked their heads out together.Fang Qiu looked around nervously, but saw no sign of anyone, but Xiao Yuanyang and Xiao Jiao were scurrying around outside emotionally, screaming towards the roof.Fang Qiu looked for a while but didn't see anyone, blinked his big eyes, and said in a daze, "I guess he ran away from above, Uncle Zhan, that person has slipped away."
"Really?" Zhan Hao pursed his lips and smiled, touched his face indifferently, and said, "Hey, let's go now, when your brother Quan Jing comes back later, I will ask him to strengthen the guards, so as not to worry about it." A thief has come in." As he said that, he carried Fang Qiu to the door of the room again, and the two huddled together in the chair.Fang Qiu's little hands were still clutching his collar tightly, and seemed a little nervous.He stared around the yard with wide eyes, and then he became frightened belatedly, turned his face and buried it in Hao's chest.
At this time, on the roof, the dead leaves were holding their chests and panting silently.Just now, the little mandarin duck fell from the sky and just landed on his head, scaring him so much that he almost sprang up... well, he already jumped up, and Fang Qiu noticed it.Still in shock, he stroked his chest, then sat down on the ridge of the roof, thinking about Zhan Hao's words and Fang Qiu's words, his cheeks burned a little.The heart that had been soothed just now started throbbing excitedly again, with bursts of pain, as if broken.
After a quarter to three in the afternoon, the Zhan family's carriage drove into the city with a "gululu".Quan Jing was driving the car, and Zhan Tianxing, Yin Lanci, and Uncle Zhong Zheng Dong were sitting in it.Yin Lanci leaned on her husband's shoulders, stretched out her arms to support the four walls of the carriage, and couldn't help complaining in a low voice: "I think our carriage should be replaced, it's small and crowded. , I can't even stretch my legs."
Zhan Tianxing stretched out his hands to straighten her slightly messy temples, and replied in a low voice: "Okay, when Ah Hao's eyes are completely healed, we'll go buy a carriage."
Uncle Zhong on the opposite side was thinking about something, but when he heard this, he raised his eyes and asked worriedly: "Master, he should be fine, right?"
Yin Lanci lowered his eyes and smiled, and said sadly: "It's nothing serious. Mr. Gongsun said before that his eyes have improved, and it's just a matter of time. Mr. should have been here today. When we get home, I think we can see Ah Hao's eyes." gone."
"Oh, that's good." Uncle Zhong shook his head melancholy, then took out the cigarette stick, and lit the cigarette before getting out of the car.
After entering the house, the little maid happened to be laying out the dishes for dinner. When she saw them, she greeted them happily: "Master, madam! Oh, you're back, and you thought you'd be late for dinner!"
"Why can't I catch up? Didn't I catch up with this?" Yin Lanci said wearily, walked to the chair and sat down, stretched out her hand and rubbed her legs. After coming back this time, she was so tired...After rubbing for a while, seeing Zhan Haozhan Zhao was not there, so he asked the little girl, "Hey, where are Ahao and Zhaozhao? Why isn't Fang Qiu here?"
"Oh, they're taking a bath in the bathroom, and they'll be fine soon." As soon as the words finished, Zhan Hao walked over to the west courtyard with Fang Qiu and Zhan Zhao in his arms.Yin Lanci saw the bandages on her son's eyes from a distance, and she was stunned, and before they got closer, she couldn't help shouting: "Ah Hao, why are your eyes still covered? "
Zhan Hao was taken aback by her sound, and so was Zhan Zhao.Yin Lanci saw her youngest son glance towards the east courtyard as if guarding against a thief, then quickly ran over, stretched out his hand to wrap her shoulders, and said with a smile on his face, "Mother, don't shout so loudly. Lu The island owner suddenly twisted his foot today, and the fourth son also suffered from the wind and cold, so
Min Wei and Yu Ke on the side looked at him as if they were watching a ghost, their eyes widened.Although Zhan Hao was blindfolded with gauze, he could still feel the strange atmosphere at the dinner table, so he raised his head while drinking the porridge and asked inexplicably, "What's the matter, why don't you guys eat?"
Yu Ke was silent, Min Wei looked at her, then at Ji Tang, and said, "Master, do you feel unwell today?"
Zhan Hao looked at her expressionlessly. If his eyes hadn't been covered, Min Wei believed that he would have blinked innocently: "I'm fine today, why do you ask that?"
When Min Wei heard it, she fell silent immediately, and sat quietly to eat.Ji Tang and Yu Ke also quickly picked up their chopsticks to eat.Breakfast is porridge with eel slices, tofu brain and a few small stir-fries, which are not too greasy and more appetizing.Zhan Hao quietly and quickly finished a bowl of porridge, then stretched out his hand and handed the bowl to Ji Tang: "Help me another bowl."
So the little girls stared stiffly again.Ji Tang was quite calm, took the bowl of porridge and handed it back, but she held out her hand, but Zhan Hao didn't take it.Ji Tang was surprised, so he asked, "Master, are you going to eat again?" Zhan Hao shook his head innocently, and said, "Help me get some food, I just drank all the porridge."
This time, Min Wei's eyes were completely rounded, and her upper limbs were almost petrified.Zhan Hao was leisurely, took the porridge bowl to eat and drink, and took a sip from the small wine glass at the side from time to time.After eating half a bowl, he seemed to think of something, then raised his head and asked, "Hey, Minwei, when will my parents come back?"
Minwei blinked, woke up from the petrification, thought for a while, and said: "They will not come back until the day after tomorrow. There are a lot of things going on in Suzhou, Buzhuang, Longbaiju, etc. Uncle Zhong is still bringing them I'm dealing with Di Deqing." After speaking, he bit his chopsticks and thought hard about what else to do... Suddenly remembered, he said again: "Ah, and, Mr. Gongsun said that he would come here on the eighth day of the lunar new year. Help you look at your eyes and see if you need to change your medicine. In addition, the second young master said that he will not be staying in the empty island for a long time, Fang Qiu misses you, and will return tomorrow."
"Come back tomorrow?" Zhan Hao suddenly raised his head from the bowl, his brows furrowed: "Tell him not to come back, take Fang Qiu to play for a few more days, hold him back, and come back with Gongsun on the eighth day .”
"Why?" Min Wei stared, pressed the chopsticks on the bowl, and said dissatisfiedly: "I miss Fang Qiu! He wants to come back, but you still don't let him come back, do you regret raising him?!"
Zhan Hao shrugged his shoulders and shook his head, curling his lips into a smile: "I have something to do, and if they come back in such a rush, it will cause bad things."
Hearing what he said, Min Wei couldn't help but look at Ji Tang suspiciously: "What can you do?"
Zhan Hao raised his eyebrows, with a faint smile on his face: "I want to catch a small animal."
When Ji Tang heard this, he was taken aback for a moment, then Min Wei, and then Yu Ke, one after another were dumbfounded.It took a while for Ji Tang to react slowly, feeling a little unbelievable in his heart: "Little animal, are you back?"
"Ah, I'm back." Zhan Hao finished his second bowl of porridge calmly, and reached out to ask Ji Tang for a cup of tea to rinse his mouth.Min Wei also reacted at this time, somehow silently felt a little reconciled, so she pursed her lips and said angrily: "Hmph, whether you can catch it or not is one thing, look at you skinny, Can't see it anywhere."
Zhan Hao was not angry when he heard this, and the smile on his face was still calm: "Do you think that the hunter will let the prey escape a second time? Letting him go the first time is to give him a chance to regret it, and now he is back , don’t even think about running away.”
Little fox, little fox, you know, what I have been waiting so hard for is this day.
When Zhan Hao was eating with the little maids in the dining room, the dead leaves, who were worried about Zhan Hao's eyes, fumbled out from the back hill, and climbed into the room anxiously and struggling.
He wanted to see if Zhan Hao really lived here.
And the answer is obvious.
In the room, Zhan Hao's usual change of clothes and cape are there, and his shoes are also on the pedals.The quilt on the bed was not folded, and the pillows were crooked... Dead Ye walked to the bed holding her breath, and saw her summer dress messed up by the cats at the head of the bed, and the white or black cat stuck to the quilt hair.
On the table next to the bed, the original glazed yellow horn comb was still there, placed in front of the mirror, with a long black hair wrapped around the comb teeth.The dead leaf gently picked it up and removed the hair.It was dark and cool, and it no longer had the body temperature of a human being.
Dead Ye remembered that half a year ago, in Suzhou, Zhan Hao had combed his tangled hair.That night, Li Feifei fell asleep in front of Zhan Hao's room, so he begged for nothing to sleep with him.While lying on the bed, he felt Zhan Hao stroke his hair.At that time, he pulled his hair back impatiently and hid it in front of him.Now, even if he wanted to, he couldn't let Zhan Hao comb his hair.
Zhan Hao is already blind.
Thinking of this fact, Dead Leaf's already heavy heart ached even more, and the sour emotions in his chest almost drowned him deeply, making his nose and eyes feel uncomfortable.Withered Ye clutched the comb, sat down on the chair dejectedly, looked at the familiar furnishings around her, and at the unfamiliar clothes of Zhan Hao in the room.Thinking of the pride of his generation, the most capable young leader in Jiangnan, but now he has become like this... He began to regret, did he do something wrong?
At that time in Kaifeng mansion, should he come back directly?Still, he shouldn't have come to Changzhou last year.
Confusedly looking up at the sky outside the window, the hour is about to pass, Zhan Hao probably finished his breakfast soon.Dead Leaves hung its head, slowly put down the comb and stood up, and was about to leave when a shadow flashed by the window without a sound.He didn't see it, but felt a little darkness in front of him—someone walked by!Withered Ye raised her head in astonishment, and saw Zhan Hao walking in quietly while leaning on the wall at the door.
At that moment, he felt that the blood in his body was about to flow backwards, and his whole body tensed up. He didn't dare to breathe out for a while, so he could only stand stiffly in front of the table.The only thing that Dead Leaf thinks about now is that fortunately Zhan Hao can't see, so he probably doesn't know that he is here.He just needs to wait for Zhan Hao to come over, then walk around the table from the other side and sneak out quietly.But Zhan Hao seemed to know what he was thinking, after walking in, he turned around and closed the door!
When Dead Leaf saw it, she was dumbfounded, but when she turned her face and saw the rear window, she thought that she could still run from behind.But he didn't expect that after Zhan Hao closed the door, he tilted his head, coughed twice, and muttered, "Why is the wind so strong..." After saying that, he groped his way to the rear window, opened the window Also bolted!Now Dead Leaf is really in a hurry, he doesn't want to be bumped into by Zhan Hao like this, he is still mentally prepared, and has no idea how to face him.But now, the only exit of the whole room is the window next to her. Withered Ye gritted her teeth and made a decisive decision - jump out of the window!
He jumped up anxiously, with his toes on the chair a little, and then he was about to jump out.But at this time, a black and white shadow suddenly flew out in front of his eyes, and rushed towards him!The dead leaf was startled, and quickly pulled away in mid-air, then fell back to the original place.The little thing was also taken aback, and the body that had just jumped into the air arched up, and let out a sharp and frantic cry: "Meow!"
It turned out to be Xiaojiao.She probably wanted to enter the room, but the door was closed, so she wanted to jump in through the window, and happened to bump into a dead leaf.Withered Leaf stood firm beside the bed, looking at her in shock, while the cat landed lightly on the side of the chair.
Zhan Hao heard the movement, turned his head and walked towards this side in doubt, and asked in a low voice while walking: "Xiaojiao, what's wrong with you?"
"Miuu—" The little horned girl stared at the dead leaves a little unhappyly, and flicked her tail vigorously.Seeing Zhan Hao approaching, Dead Leaf was anxious and wanted to jump out of the window, but Xiao Jiao kept blocking him, so he had no choice but to go around to the other side of the room.Zhan Hao walked slowly towards the bed, walked around the table, and gradually walked in front of the dead leaf.The dead leaves pressed against the side of the bed nervously, and quietly moved out in the opposite direction of Zhan Hao... When Zhan Hao walked to the bed, he also smoothly moved to the other side of the room.
"Little Jiao, what's wrong with you?" Zhan Hao walked up to the little guy and squatted down, reaching out to hug her up.At this time, Dead Leaf was struggling with the bolt of the window in a hurry, Little Horn remained calm, staring straight at him with a pair of golden eyes.After a while, seeing the dead leaf quietly pushed open the third bolt, and was about to slowly open the window, Xiao Jiao suddenly let out a sharp "meow" in Zhan Hao's arms, and then it was like a small cannonball. rushed towards him.
Dead Leaf was shocked immediately, he didn't care about the window or escape, at this moment, he only thought about how to get rid of this little villain.Xiaojiao didn't rush at him, but circled around his feet and yelled "meow meow".Now that the baby has grown up, his combat prowess has improved to a higher level than when he was a child. His slender and flexible body tangles back and forth between the dead leaves' feet, making him flustered.
He wanted to drive the little guy away, but he was helpless and unable to make a sound, so he could only keep waving at her.But Xiao Jiao still yelled around him, with a look of reluctance.Zhan Hao felt that something was wrong, but he didn't seem to intend to come here, so he sat on the edge of the bed and asked in a low voice, "Little Jiao, what's the matter, did something come in? Stop making trouble, come here, I don't feel well, want to Go to sleep."
Dead Leaf heard his soft and low voice, as if he was short of breath, couldn't help worrying, and couldn't help slowing down his evasive movements.Although Zhan Hao's eyes were covered with gauze, he could still see his face.He used to be pale, but at least he was very energetic, but now, his face showed a pale color, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly, as if he had no strength.Dead Leaf looked at him anxiously, not knowing what to do for a while.But when he was distracted, Xiaojiao jumped into his arms with a "hula".The dead leaf was taken aback, and hurriedly hugged the ancestor.Satisfied, the cat nestled into his arms. The first thing she did was to bury her nose in his chest and take a deep breath. Then, she showed a dizzy enjoyment expression on her face.
The dead leaves choked her throat... I was speechless, and I was really helpless now.Zhan Hao heard that Xiao Jiao stopped barking over there, so he smiled self-consciously, lowered his body, and clapped his hands towards him: "Xiao Jiao, isn't it fun anymore? Come here to sleep, there is your favorite Clothes."
Hearing his call, Xiaojiao rolled his eyes at him, as if to say, Huh, everyone is here with me, why don't you care about the rags?don't go!When I saw the dead leaves, I couldn't help laughing and crying.Zhan Hao didn't get a response there, he stretched out his hand to support the bed frame, and then stood up again, as if he was going to catch the cat.Dead Leaf was shocked, and quickly threw the little horn towards him, while she quickly fled to the other side of the room and hid behind the partition.But the girl Xiaojiao didn't agree, she was so tempered, she thought hey, you stupid human being, why did you throw me? !Almost as soon as it landed, she ran towards the dead leaves again.
my God!Dead Leaf sat behind the partition, seeing this guy running to her side again, finally couldn't help crying.He frantically waved away the cat, spit on her silently, saying go, don't touch me, go find Zhan Hao, don't come here!I don't hug you, go away!go there!go go go go...
One person and one cat fought for more than [-] rounds. Xiaojiao probably felt annoyed, or her arrogant temper came up. Seeing that this bastard refused to hug her again, she twisted her buttocks and raised her tail. Angrily left.Zhan Hao sat on the edge of the bed, not moving in any way, just listening quietly, a smile slowly appeared on his lips.
Withered Leaf twisted and shrank behind the partition, seeing Xiaojiao jumped onto the bed, and the guy had to turn his head and stare at himself before getting into the bed, which made him a little depressed.He saw Zhan Hao take off his coat slowly, lie down on the bed, pull up the quilt to cover his body, as if he really wanted to rest.While feeling sad that his body was so weak, Dead Leaf also stood up slowly, ready to wait for the opportunity to sneak away.
But as soon as he took a step from behind the partition, another snow-white figure jumped in from the window—the little mandarin duck that he hadn't seen for a long time fell to the ground, and unexpectedly saw the sneaky man on the other side of the room for the first time. he.When Dead Leaf stared dumbfounded at this guy rushing towards him with a happy expression on his face, he could only think in relief, it's over, he really can't leave now.
On the other side of the room, Zhan Hao, who was lying comfortably on the bed, curled the corners of his mouth leisurely, listening to the sticky cat meowing over there, and the rubbing sound of someone's clothes when he was in a hurry.He wrapped up the quilt helplessly and comfortably, hugged Xiaojiao tightly, took a deep breath, and then fell asleep slowly.
He is not in a hurry, he is not in a hurry.The little fox is back, so don't try to run away this time.
After that day, all the little maids of the Zhan family knew that the young master's scarfaced guard had returned as a shadow guard.The little girls tacitly agreed, seeing that Zhan Hao ate more food, had more calm expressions, and inexplicably smirked more——Yu Ke sighed silently in her heart, the dead leaves are just blind pills. , where does Mr. Gongsun make any medicine? As soon as he comes back, the young master has almost nothing to do.
Seeing that the young master came back to life, Ji Tang also breathed a sigh of relief.The other little maids may not know, but she still doesn't know.Some time ago Zhan Hao pretended nothing happened, but the dead silence and concentration in his heart could not be covered up with plainness.The calmer he behaved, the more disappointed and dead-hearted he was.Now, seeing him smile, seeing him start to calculate again, that's really good.
In fact, at that moment, the moment when the withered leaves ran away in a hurry, what was Zhan Hao thinking in his heart.He really couldn't believe it, the little fox came back and stood in front of his eyes just now.Zhan Hao was stunned in place at the time, holding Xiao Jiao in his arms for a while, his arms tightened uncontrollably, he was shocked, happy, and depressed at the same time.His persistence turned out to be meaningful—he waited for this moment, and he didn't lose this bet.
Although there is a saying that until the end, it is not certain whether you will win or lose.But as long as the dead leaves come back, it means that he has won.
Now, Zhan Hao knows that his little fox is not far from him.Although he has been hiding and refusing to show his presence, he can hear and feel the delicate breathing suppressed by the dead leaves, as well as the rapid and restless heartbeat.
The feeling of being spied on by his sweetheart is very strange, even though Zhan Hao knows where the dead leaves are hidden.He knows that when he sleeps, the dead leaves curl up on the beams; when he takes a walk in the garden, the dead leaves lie on the roof; They all stick to him, which makes Zhan Hao feel very satisfied.
Everyone wants to be the only one in the eyes of their lover.
Although, those eyes were not full of admiration—the dead leaves were still kept in the dark, and they didn't know what his physical condition was, so they always looked at him with distressed and depressed eyes, which made Zhan Hao Feeling a little contradictory.To be honest, he wished that he looked more wise and mighty, but unfortunately his body was not strong enough, and he hadn't recovered from the weight loss before, so he looked sickly.But forget it, it's not a bad thing for the little fox to feel sorry for himself, since he has this heart, then... just cooperate with him.
So Young Master Zhan went to the servant girl and gave orders, saying that these days, you should pretend to be sad and depressed, and you are not allowed to show a festive look!Especially that one, Min Wei!I know you have a lot of bad intentions, so keep your mouth shut and don't stare at me!
Ji Tang snickered when he heard this, and later asked Zhan Hao on the way to clean the east courtyard, saying, young master, are you so willing to make Big Brother Cen sad?
With a calm face, Zhan Hao pursed his lips and replied with a light smile, doesn't he feel sorry for me?I want him to love me forever.
See you abandon me, see you are willing to let me go.Young Master Zhan thought sinisterly, the corners of his mouth curled up in a black belly.When we were about to arrive at the East Courtyard in a while, he stretched out a hand for Ji Tang to hold, adjusted his pale face, and walked into the peeping range of his little fox, pretending to be weak.
Zhan Hao is scheming here, but the dead leaves are not feeling well over there.He was already worried about Zhan Hao's body, but when he played tricks like this again, he felt even more worried and sad, blamed himself and felt awkward, always feeling that he had made a huge mistake.Looking at Zhan Hao's thin sleeping face in the middle of the night, the more he looked at it, the more sour he felt, the more sour he felt, the more he hated himself.The fox cub was always sitting under the outer window and pulling hay stalks. He felt distressed while pulling, and within two days he pulled the sod bare.
Zhan Hao has been in the room and hasn't been out much, that is, he would go around the dining room when eating.At first, Dead Leaf was worried about why Ji Tang didn't bring the food here for Zhan Hao to eat, but when he thought about it, if that was the case, Zhan Hao probably wouldn't go out at all.Going back and forth between the east courtyard and the main courtyard so often now can barely be regarded as a relaxation.
Apart from eating and bathing, Zhan Hao has been staying in this small courtyard.The dead leaves nestled on the beams of the house, watching him sitting by the window, staring at the yard in a daze, or walking in the yard, occasionally squatting down, groping for a handful of snow in his hands, and playing with it in the palm of his hand. a play.His fingers were slender and blue and white, and his nails were bloodless, as if they had been frozen by the cold snow.
At these times, Dead Leaf couldn't help worrying, wondering why Ji Tang wasn't here, why wasn't Yuke here, why did they just leave Zhan Hao alone like this?Sometimes, when Zhan Hao was sitting at the table groping for snacks, he would accidentally knock the snacks on the floor, or touch the cups and teacups, and there would be a "jingling" sound.Seeing his bewildered and helpless appearance, Dead Leaf felt that her heart was about to be broken... Only then did she understand what heartache is.It turns out that the heart really hurts, as if someone is holding it and kneading it hard.
For the matter in front of him, the little fox, who was caught in self-blame and distress, naturally had no time to think too much. In fact, as long as he studied carefully, he would be able to find the problem.For example, Zhan Hao was blind, but why did he turn on the lamp when it got dark at night? ——Isn’t it just to let him peek more clearly!Also, I closed the window when I entered the room on the first day, saying it was cold, but why didn't I close it after that?It's not just to make it easier for him to peep!Moreover, before the body was so good that I could sleep in the snow, but now, I cough and have chills all day long, as if a gust of wind could blow me down... To put it bluntly, these are special services for dead leaves, didn't they say that, Let him be distressed for a lifetime!
But speaking of it, Dead Leaf's straight head probably won't be able to think so much for a while, tell him, maybe he will feel even more uncomfortable and distressed.Light up when it gets dark?That's because he's blind, what's wrong with lighting a lamp to comfort himself?Always not paying attention to closing the window, it means that he doesn't care about his body, and he has nothing to love in life!Sleeping in the snow before—he made it worse by sleeping in the snow!Look at that pale face and thin body...
Therefore, the goal of the exhibition family was easily achieved.
On the morning of the eighth day of the lunar new year, Zhan Zhao brought little Fang Qiu back from Xingkong Island.
As soon as Fang Qiu entered the door, he kept muttering "Uncle Zhan, Uncle Zhan". When Zhan Zhao entered the door with the child wrapped in clothes wrapped like a ball, he could smell the smell of food wafting from the dining room.Curiously, he ran over to hold Fang Qiu in his arms, and saw Zhan Hao and the group of little girls having breakfast, and the table was extraordinarily sumptuous.
"Uncle Zhan!" Fang Qiu yelled crisply, struggling to get down.Zhan Zhao put him down, and he rushed towards Zhan Hao with his short legs.As soon as Zhan Hao heard his voice, he felt his legs being hugged in a short while.He smiled faintly, put down the bowls and chopsticks, hugged the child on his lap and sat down, reached out to touch his cool little face, and asked softly, "Fang Qiu, are you having fun in the empty island?"
"Hmm..." Fang Qiu lowered her eyes and didn't look at him, she puffed her mouth and tugged at his collar, "Unhappy."
When Zhan Hao heard it, he immediately laughed out loud, and put the child into his arms: "Why? You said you were not having a good time, your brother Zhan Zhao is going to cry." Zhan Zhao heard this, and immediately stood aside cooperatively Put on a mournful expression.Fang Qiu cautiously raised his eyes to look at him, then buried his head in guilt for a while and said, "I'm not happy to think that Uncle Zhan is alone and can't see me." As he spoke, his little head poked around and hid his face behind Zhan Hao's body. Before, don't let Zhan Zhao see.Seeing Zhan Zhao, he couldn't help but smile wryly, and reached out to touch his little head.
Zhan Hao also laughed. He stretched out his hand to pat his younger brother, kissed Fang Qiu's forehead, and said in a low voice, "Uncle Zhan is well. Although he can't see him now, he's fine..." As he spoke, he turned his face slightly and looked sideways. Xiang Zhanzhao murmured meaningfully, "It's okay. The little animal raised by your uncle Zhan came back, and his eyes will heal in a few days."
When Zhan Zhao heard this, he was a little taken aback.Sensing the change in his mood, Zhan Hao immediately stretched out his hand and gave him a soft "shh", then pointed to the east courtyard: "I've been spying on me for the past few days, seeing me like this makes me feel so guilty."
"Really... are you back?" Zhan Zhao was a little surprised, he couldn't believe that the dead leaves really came back, and he hid and peeked, not daring to show up!While unbelievable, he couldn't help but want to laugh.This time they were hiding and flickering, the two of them really... Zhan Xiaomao twitched the corner of his mouth, and then said cautiously for a while: "This time, can't you run away?"
Zhan Hao's lips were curled up, if his eyes were exposed at this time, the expression inside must be leisurely and sly: "I can't run away, if I let him run away again, I will be in vain all these years. "
Hearing what he said, Zhan Zhao finally completely let go of the anxiety he had been feeling for the past few months.He breathed a sigh of relief, leaned back into the chair as if he was relieved, and muttered lazily: "Hurry up and take him down, but don't let anything go wrong..."
Zhan Hao lowered his face and chuckled, Fang Qiu rubbed against his arms twice, then turned his head after a while, and asked with blinking eyes: "Little animal, what is it?"
"Little animal, it's just an awkward little fox." Zhan Hao hugged and kneaded him a few times, smiled for a while, then turned to Zhan Zhao and said, "Well, isn't the leave Master Bao gave you almost over? Now It's all right, you don't have to worry about it, just go back when it's time to go, and I'll send you a letter when the matter is over."
"Ang!" Zhan Zhao pouted, staring half-truthfully dissatisfied: "Your daughter-in-law is going to drive my younger brother away?"
Zhan Hao smiled helplessly, stretched out his legs and kicked him: "Ang, why is he timid, and if there are too many people, he will scare him away again! Come on, go with your Bai Wushuangsu Shuangfei, all tricks here It's annoying to be jealous."
Hearing him speak like this, Zhan Zhao finally believed that his brother had really returned to his original appearance.So he grinned his teeth with a playful smile, reached out and grabbed a duck leg and ran away lightly.The little Fang Qiu was still nestling in Zhan Hao's arms, biting his little lip, frowning, thinking in doubt: Daughter-in-law?Is Uncle Zhan going to marry a wife?
Why is Uncle Zhan marrying a wife?He, isn't he with the masked brother?
Not long after eating at noon, Fang Qiu, who had washed up, dragged the little mandarin duck from the main courtyard, and ran to the east courtyard with a pair of wooden slippers.Zhan Hao sat in front of the door, and heard the child's footsteps from a distance.He smiled inscrutably, and keenly felt that the breathing outside the window behind him was obviously faster.
"Uncle Zhan!" The little guy hugged the little white mandarin duck with both hands, and ran all the way from outside the yard with great effort.Zhan Hao smiled at him unhurriedly, and when he heard the voice come to his side, his leg was heavy, and a furry creature licked his chin.Fang Qiu complained in a low voice: "Little mandarin duck is so fat!" while climbing onto his knees with all hands and feet.Zhan Hao stretched out his hands to hug them both, rubbed his chin against the child's ear, and asked in a low voice: "Fang Qiu, are you here to play with me?"
"Well," Fang Qiu buried his head in serious hesitation for a while, and said, "I, I'm here to see if Xiao Jiao is there..."
"Her," Zhan Hao tilted his head, with a meaningful smile on his face, "She seems to have been abducted by someone recently, and she doesn't come home all the time, so she comes back to sleep with me at night." Just after saying this, Zhan Hao heard a low "Mi" coming from behind the window, but the sound was too small, so Fang Qiu didn't hear it.
"Abducted?!" Fang Qiu became nervous when he heard this, and his face was a little anxious: "Then, will she come back tonight?"
"Well, I should be back, or you come to sleep with me tonight?"
"Well, good." Fang Qiu answered in a low voice, and then silently buried his face in Cheng Hao's collar.He covered his face like this for a while, then asked sullenly, "Uncle Zhan, that...Brother Mask, isn't he coming back?"
Zhan Hao bent his lips, lowered his head and kissed the little guy's hair: "Fang Qiu misses him again?"
"Well, I miss my brother. I haven't seen my brother for a long time. I want to see my brother." Fang Qiu said while patting Zhan Hao's furry collar with his small hands.Zhan Hao stretched out his hand and squeezed the little guy's little hand, and said softly, "He probably won't come back until later. He's having a temper tantrum with your Uncle Zhan, and he doesn't want to see me."
When Fang Qiu heard this, he raised his head immediately, stared straight at Zhan Hao, and said in a serious voice: "Brother, is it because you are going to marry a wife that he doesn't come back?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhan Hao heard the person behind the window stop breathing and his heart beat faster.He raised his lips uncontrollably, but his voice still pretended to be flat and lost: "If your brother doesn't come back, where can I get a wife?"
"Then, brother Zhan said just now that you want a wife and not him?!" The child refused to let go, pouted and pinched his face.Zhan Hao dodges for a moment, thinking that this kid is good at courage!But there was still a smile on his face: "Of course I want a wife! Why do I want Brother Zhan? He belongs to someone else, and my wife is mine."
"But, Brother Mask is not your wife either! You two are not married." The little guy stretched out his hand and pushed Zhan Hao's shoulder unhappily, pouted his little mouth high.Zhan Hao was overjoyed, and keenly felt that another opportunity to pretend to be pitiful had come!So he lowered his expression, put on a dejected look, and his voice became hoarse in an instant: "Yeah, he doesn't like me, and I don't know where he is, even if he comes back... oh, I hope he You're with me, but as I am now, I'm sick and ugly, let's forget it, so as not to be disliked by others."
Seeing him like this, Fang Qiu couldn't help showing a worried and sad look on his face.He put his arms around Zhan Hao's neck, and whispered, "Uncle Zhan, you said at breakfast that your eyes are about to heal, don't lie to me..."
"Yes, my eyes are almost healed, I'll be fine soon, don't be sad, it's fine..." Zhan Hao comforted him while listening carefully to the movement outside the window, as expected, the breath of the people outside the window subsided instantly Condensed a lot.At this time, Xiaojiao probably noticed something was wrong beside him, and Zhan Hao heard a cat meowing again.The little mandarin duck also heard the sound, and its ears froze for a moment, then jumped down to the ground in a hurry, and ran to the rear window.
Fang Qiu's face was facing that way, and he saw the little mandarin duck jumping out of the window twice from the ground, and then, a figure jumped up somewhat staggeringly, but immediately crooked behind the wall.
"Ah, there's someone! Uncle Zhan, there's someone outside the window!" Fang Qiu stared, straightened up and shouted loudly.Zhan Hao almost didn't laugh out loud, but still put on a puzzled expression cooperatively, stood up holding Fang Qiu in his arms, and walked towards the back window while groping: "Is anyone there? Fang Qiu, did you read it wrong? "
"That's right, that's right! A man with short hair, he's outside!"
Zhan Hao walked to the window with the little guy in his arms, and the two poked their heads out together.Fang Qiu looked around nervously, but saw no sign of anyone, but Xiao Yuanyang and Xiao Jiao were scurrying around outside emotionally, screaming towards the roof.Fang Qiu looked for a while but didn't see anyone, blinked his big eyes, and said in a daze, "I guess he ran away from above, Uncle Zhan, that person has slipped away."
"Really?" Zhan Hao pursed his lips and smiled, touched his face indifferently, and said, "Hey, let's go now, when your brother Quan Jing comes back later, I will ask him to strengthen the guards, so as not to worry about it." A thief has come in." As he said that, he carried Fang Qiu to the door of the room again, and the two huddled together in the chair.Fang Qiu's little hands were still clutching his collar tightly, and seemed a little nervous.He stared around the yard with wide eyes, and then he became frightened belatedly, turned his face and buried it in Hao's chest.
At this time, on the roof, the dead leaves were holding their chests and panting silently.Just now, the little mandarin duck fell from the sky and just landed on his head, scaring him so much that he almost sprang up... well, he already jumped up, and Fang Qiu noticed it.Still in shock, he stroked his chest, then sat down on the ridge of the roof, thinking about Zhan Hao's words and Fang Qiu's words, his cheeks burned a little.The heart that had been soothed just now started throbbing excitedly again, with bursts of pain, as if broken.
After a quarter to three in the afternoon, the Zhan family's carriage drove into the city with a "gululu".Quan Jing was driving the car, and Zhan Tianxing, Yin Lanci, and Uncle Zhong Zheng Dong were sitting in it.Yin Lanci leaned on her husband's shoulders, stretched out her arms to support the four walls of the carriage, and couldn't help complaining in a low voice: "I think our carriage should be replaced, it's small and crowded. , I can't even stretch my legs."
Zhan Tianxing stretched out his hands to straighten her slightly messy temples, and replied in a low voice: "Okay, when Ah Hao's eyes are completely healed, we'll go buy a carriage."
Uncle Zhong on the opposite side was thinking about something, but when he heard this, he raised his eyes and asked worriedly: "Master, he should be fine, right?"
Yin Lanci lowered his eyes and smiled, and said sadly: "It's nothing serious. Mr. Gongsun said before that his eyes have improved, and it's just a matter of time. Mr. should have been here today. When we get home, I think we can see Ah Hao's eyes." gone."
"Oh, that's good." Uncle Zhong shook his head melancholy, then took out the cigarette stick, and lit the cigarette before getting out of the car.
After entering the house, the little maid happened to be laying out the dishes for dinner. When she saw them, she greeted them happily: "Master, madam! Oh, you're back, and you thought you'd be late for dinner!"
"Why can't I catch up? Didn't I catch up with this?" Yin Lanci said wearily, walked to the chair and sat down, stretched out her hand and rubbed her legs. After coming back this time, she was so tired...After rubbing for a while, seeing Zhan Haozhan Zhao was not there, so he asked the little girl, "Hey, where are Ahao and Zhaozhao? Why isn't Fang Qiu here?"
"Oh, they're taking a bath in the bathroom, and they'll be fine soon." As soon as the words finished, Zhan Hao walked over to the west courtyard with Fang Qiu and Zhan Zhao in his arms.Yin Lanci saw the bandages on her son's eyes from a distance, and she was stunned, and before they got closer, she couldn't help shouting: "Ah Hao, why are your eyes still covered? "
Zhan Hao was taken aback by her sound, and so was Zhan Zhao.Yin Lanci saw her youngest son glance towards the east courtyard as if guarding against a thief, then quickly ran over, stretched out his hand to wrap her shoulders, and said with a smile on his face, "Mother, don't shout so loudly. Lu The island owner suddenly twisted his foot today, and the fourth son also suffered from the wind and cold, so
