Chapter 9: The Doubts of the Old Man (4)
Yufeng's residence is simply and neatly furnished, and it is spotlessly clean.
Crossing the front yard into the main hall, the hall has a few bamboo chairs arranged neatly, which seems to be a place to receive guests. However, over the years, whether there have been any guests who have actually visited Ewha Pass is reverie. Further inside, there is a small courtyard in the square, and there are still a few pear trees planted in the courtyard, but these trees seem to have just been cultivated by small saplings, and they are not yet tall, but the flowers are blooming very enchantingly.
There are two large water tanks next to the tree, the water in the tanks is full of water, clear as a mirror, and a layer of petals blown off by the wind floats on the water surface.
"The water in this vat is probably the Yuize spring water he once mentioned, which is used to make zuò pear blossom brewing, right?" Xi Mutong thought to himself.
The left side of the courtyard seems to be a flower hall, and the right side is lined up with three rooms, one of which has a plaque on the door, "Si Guo Zhai".
"Thinking about fasting? Mr. Yufeng, what do you mean by 'passing'? Does it have something to do with the secret you're bent on hiding? I'm going to get the answer today! Xi Mutong bit her red lips lightly, didn't look at the other rooms, walked straight to Si Guozhai, stretched out her hand and pushed, but the door was unlocked, and it opened with a squeak.
She guessed correctly, this room was indeed Yufeng's study, and as soon as the door was opened, a smell of ink came to her face. Close to the wall, there is a row of bamboo bookshelves, stacked with various books, many of which are bamboo books.
Xi Mutong looked curiously along the shelves layer by layer, but found that the words on many books were curved like the moon, and she didn't recognize them at all.
I walked all the way to his desk, where in addition to the brush and inkstone, there was an old booklet. The cover of the booklet was torn, and the navy blue of the pages had faded a lot, since it was not put on the bookshelf, but placed on the table, it is estimated that he often took it and flipped through it.
Peering into other people's secrets is not a glorious act after all, she picked up the book, feeling deeply troubled by her conscience, but she really couldn't hold back, and the book was already open when her fingers swiped it.
When she saw it, she suddenly screamed, and the album flew out of her hand and fell to the ground.
When her mind settled down a little, her already white face was so white that she couldn't see blood. She bent down and picked up the booklet, looking through the pages again.
It turns out that this is a picture album, and each page is painted with the same woman, who is out of the world and peerless. She may smile and smile, or contemplate and think, or practice martial arts, or read, Zhang Zhang's demeanor is different, but each one is a masterpiece of wonderful Danqing, which depicts her vividly, like a real person, which shows that the painter has a deep affection for her.
And the woman in the painting is her, Xi Mutong.
On the last three pages of the album, there are no portraits, but the pages are full of three words that Yu Feng often says: "I'm sorry".
"Yufeng, what is the relationship between you and me? When you mentioned 500 years in your dream, did you and I already know each other 500 years ago? You just had the intention to lure me into Pear Blossom Pass, right? No, I need to remember before, I have to remember who I am! ”
She was crazy and talked to herself with the album in her hand, but under the pressure, she began to have a headache again. Eventually, she was afraid that she would faint again like she had done last night, and she had to stop.
Although she found the album, not only did she not get the answer, but her doubts were even heavier, and she had no choice but to leave.
Before leaving the door, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a row of low cabinets next to the desk, and the handle of the cabinet door had been polished to a very smooth surface, as if it was often opened and closed.
She walked over and opened the cabinet door, and was shocked to see that the low cabinet was full of large and small medicine bottles, each bottle was marked with a different drug name, and the medicine in each bottle had already been used.
"Oh my God, Mr. Feather Wind, what is it about you that you need to take so many medicines? How dangerous is it for someone so seriously ill to live alone and uncared for? Thinking of this, she did not dare to linger any longer, and hurried out of Yufeng's dwelling, and hurried back to the hut where she lived, she needed to see how he was. (To be continued.) )
