"It's not your first time here." I said to Dashuang.
Dashuang nodded, and was about to say something, when he suddenly raised his eyes and looked behind me.
I turned my head, and through the hazy mist, I saw a familiar figure gradually moving over.
"Why did you get out?" I was in a hurry to catch up.
I never thought that Xu Jie would come out at this time.
"I sense you're back." Xu Jie said as she stretched out a hand and gently stroked my cheek.
"I'll send you back!" I crouched in front of my wheelchair, looking at the familiar pretty face in front of me, and I couldn't say sorry in my heart.
No one knows better than me how difficult it is for her to move now. She didn't have any sense below her waist, and what others could do very often, she had to spend several times her strength.
"You're not done yet, are you?" Xu Jie looked at me gently and said, "I'm here to give you an umbrella." โ
"Umbrella?" That's when I noticed that she was using her other hand to put an oil-paper umbrella on her lap.
"It's foggy, it won't rain today......"
Before I could finish speaking, she covered my mouth.
"Shh......h You can't see something right now. She patted her umbrella on it, her voice softer, consciously or unconsciously: "They can see it." โ
They?
I was stunned for a moment, and then I reacted, she was talking about Di Jinlian and the other five ghosts in the umbrella.
Xu Jie ......" I was like a fish in my throat, thought about it, and gritted my teeth: "I ......"
"Shh......h
Xu Jie once again put her slender index finger to my lips, and then stuffed the five-treasure umbrella into my arms, the corners of her mouth rose, and a gentle smile bloomed: "Take them." โ
She glanced at Dashuang, turned back to me and said, "I'll go back first." โ
"I'll send you."
"No, you don't." She shook her head, a hint of stubbornness between her eyebrows: "I can do it." โ
I don't know if it's because my mind is too confused, or because of something else, but I suddenly felt that there was something different in her eyes when she looked at me.
"You're nothing, are you?" I asked, "Is there something wrong with it?" โ
The next second, I barely thought about it, and just turned around and waved my hand.
I want to say: what will I say tomorrow, now I just want to go back and guard my love.
This is what I really want to do, even if the blind man and I are brothers, compared to my woman, I have to put it back for a while.
But Xu Jie grabbed me. She seemed to read my thoughts and shook her head vigorously at me: "Don't be stupid, get down to business." โ
I want to say: where is there anything else in front of you?
But she stopped me from talking to me with her eyes.
I had no choice but to nod, "Then you go back to rest, I'...... I'll be back when I'm done. โ
"Hmm." Xu Jie nodded, but looked at me deeply.
Then, slowly turned the wheelchair.
The fog was so heavy that she turned her wheelchair and moved forward for a while, and when she turned back, the two were separated from each other, and they couldn't see each other very clearly.
But through the fog, I could still see her bright eyes.
After staring at each other, Xu Jie finally disappeared into the fog......
"Brother Xu!"
Hearing the call of the big pair, I suddenly turned around.
"Hurry up." The big pair nodded at me.
"Aang." I replied absentmindedly, looked up at the stone beasts guarding in front of the inn, and stepped into the gate.
I believe that Xu Jie has also seen the existence of the post station, and everything about me has never deliberately hidden her.
Wrong!
There's one thing I didn't want to hide, but I haven't had time to tell her yet......
The inn was as deserted as ever.
Although tonight's experience was thrilling, I was still a little irritable at this moment.
"I think it's time for us to talk openly and honestly. Tell me about you, and tell me about what I kept from you. I put the five-treasure umbrella aside and sat straight behind the counter, looking at the big pair with a frown.
Dashuang nodded: "Yes, boss." โ
"What?" I couldn't help but be stunned.
What did he call me?
Before I could come back to my senses, Dashuang suddenly said again: "Boss, I know you care about your friends, but ...... Before you can say something, you need to do something. โ
"What do you call me?" I still couldn't take my attention off what he called me.
In my memory, only Ji Yayun would call me 'boss' so easily, why is there another one who calls me like this now? And it's so natural?
Dashuang's expression also seemed to be a little tangled, and he was about to say something more, when suddenly, there were a few dry coughs from upstairs: "Ahem, cough, cough......"
Dashuang's expression was obviously dark, and then his face turned pale, and he said to me: "Brother Xu, there are some things that you can go back to, and there are some things that must be done now." โ
I was stunned for a moment, and then I became angry.
Those obviously feigned coughs were inaudible to others, but I already recognized who they were.
"Xu Ronghua!"
All the tangled depression seemed to find a breakthrough at once, I jumped up, rushed to the staircase with a few arrows, and shouted upstairs on my back: "I've had enough! I don't care who you are! It doesn't matter what the hell you're up to! I just want to live an ordinary life with the people I like! What you're doing has nothing to do with me! โ
"All the people and things that shouldn't belong in my life,!" I roared almost hysterically at the last sentence, my face flushed as if it had just been burned with a soldering iron.
I can't wait to yell out all the grievances over the years with this voice, so I almost rushed upstairs and pulled someone out and beat him up!
However, an indescribable fear in my heart prevented me from proceeding further.
I've stuck to the bottom line of principles I've built up in my life over the years, but I can't predict what kind of state I'll be in when I'm confronted with someone, and whether I'll be able to keep my sanity......
The people upstairs fell silent.
After a long time, he suddenly let out a sigh.
The anger I had just tried to calm was stirred up by a sigh that sounded like helplessness, and I ...... All of you have a hard time! Thou shalt not speak to anyone!
What about me?
Who the am I talking to?!
"Well, it seems, he was right."
When this sentence came from upstairs, I really couldn't help but burst out.
But just before I was about to erupt, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind me: "Xu Xu! โ
I turned my head abruptly, "Ji Yayun! โ
"No!"
I shook my head and looked at the person in front of me: "You...... Are you Xiaoya? โ
Dashuang was still standing in front of the counter, looking a little tangled.
And on the side of the counter, there was one more person.
This person was wearing a royal blue cheongsam, his beautiful face was slightly immature, and his eyes were a little panicked when he looked at me.
She is Ji Yayun when she was a child, she is Xiaoya!
"You...... What are you doing here? "My mind is so messed up that I can't do it.
In my mind, although Xiao Ya is 'cold' like a puppet who executes orders, Ji Yayun left a deeper impression on me.
I thought that 'Xiaoya' would only give me a hesitant expression and bring me more questions like before......
I didn't know that as soon as I finished asking this time, she suddenly rushed to me, grabbed me and ran back: "Xu Qiu...... Boss...... Why, why am I on the books? โ
"What do you mean?"
I was dragged to the counter and asked subconsciously.
But as soon as she lowered her head in a frightened gaze, she was immediately stunned.
On the counter, I don't know when there was a yellowed scroll, the same account book I had seen when I first came to the inn.
Before, I was only suspicious of the two fonts on the cover of the account book, but at this moment, the account book is actually spread out on the counter.
There were words on the page that was spread out, but they were very small.
I didn't care to read the words, but I was already stunned.
It was the title page of the account book, and apart from two small prints, there was only a painting, a portrait......
