Those years when I climbed the wall

Waking up is noon again.When Mu Yunqi moved slightly, he heard the familiar and steady voice beside the couch: "Are you awake?" Turning his head to meet the two beams of soft and moist eyes, he curled his lips: "Are you so idle every day?" Yu Guang Swept across his hands: "Six Secret Teachings? It's been a few days, and you haven't finished reading a volume yet?"

He lowered his hands and smiled, but the man was flattered and flattered: "Reviewing the old and learning the new, a broad and profound work, it is worth chewing slowly and repeatedly." He stepped forward to help him sit up, tried it with his hands, but there was no sweat on his forehead, and asked: "Will you take a bath later? "During the period of taking the medicine, I had occasional night sweats, but it was not a symptom, but it was actually beneficial for detoxification.

Mu Yunqi nodded: "I want to go out and enjoy the wind."

Seeing that he was in good spirits, Shao Jingheng didn't stop him, but he was only allowed to go out after passing soup and snacks for him to use as usual.

It snowed again two days ago, and the courtyard was completely white.There are two plum trees in the east corner, the old stems are cracked, and the branches are full of flowers.The two of them paced along the cleaned path, where the wind passed by, and the dark fragrance refreshed the spleen.

"...without faith...in vain to call yourself a gentleman!" Outside the courtyard wall, the woman's voice came in with the wind, slightly and vaguely.

"...I didn't promise you anything... The outside world is full of dangers, bringing you back can still save your life... I don't know what to do!" The voice was familiar.

Mu Yunqi glanced at his side.

"Wuhua!" Shao Jingheng turned around with a bad expression on his face: "Let idlers make noise outside, what do you want?"

The people under the eaves were stunned, and clasped their fists together: "I'll drive them away!"

"Slow!" Mu Yunqi stopped: "There is a reason for the noise or the incident, I think it's better to let them come in and ask the reason."

"This...isn't right?" Shao Jingheng hesitated, "After all, this Li Qiaoer..."

"Li Qiaoer followed us all the way north, if she really had evil intentions, she should have taken action." Mu Yunqi explained his concerns.

Thinking about it, Shao Jingheng changed his words: "Then bring the two of them in, and I will take this opportunity to try Li Qiaoer again!" Seeing that Zeng Wuhua took the order to go, he turned around and explained: "Last night when Lu Chongning brought Li Qiaoer back, she was full of resentment. , I thought we planned to harm her, and refused to answer any questions. I was just making trouble for no reason, and I didn’t want to come here to make trouble right now, it’s unreasonable!" Frowning: "If you hadn’t told me, I would have put her in the jail. trial!"

Mu Yunqi did not comment, but there was a sly smile on the corner of his mouth: "Jing Heng, have you ever raised a cat?"

"Cat?" The other person was at a loss: "I have never raised a cat or dog. Even if I don't argue, I did not raise it myself..." Speaking of this, there was a trace of embarrassment on the face that was still full of anger just now.

"That's no wonder." Mu Yunqi smiled generously, "Cats are surly, not obedient like dogs, and often disobey their masters, but the more irritable it is, the more patient you have to be, and you must not fight against each other and use violence to control violence." , it’s best to pretend not to care about it, and wait for it to stick to you without interest, then you can push the boat along the way, smooth the whole body, and what happens after that is up to you.”

After pondering for a while, the man suddenly said: "You mean..."

"The cat is here." Mu Yunqi interrupted him softly.

Being stopped under the eaves, Li Qiaoer was annoyed, but when she saw the people walking close on the path, her complexion suddenly turned subtle.

"Miss Li," Mu Yunqi smiled warmly, "Don't you come here all right?"

"I..." The corner of the woman's mouth twitched, her eyes drooping and her fingers wringing, she looked mixed.

Mu Yun prayed to step up the steps: "It's cold outside, let's talk inside."

After changing out of the heavy outer robe, Mu Yunqi reappeared in normal clothes, but he saw the green clothes with narrow sleeves, his body was fresh and approachable.

Li Qiaoer remained silent, and Mu Yunqi had no intention of breaking the silence, and sat down to watch Shao Jingheng order tea.After a while, the tea soup enters the cup, step by step, the color gradually expands, and finally the foam is even.One is good, put it in the tray and present it.

Expressing thanks with a smile, Mu Yunqi took a sip and nodded: "Very good." Taking advantage of the trend, his eyes swept across the waiter on one side.

At a glance, Lu Chongning took a small plate of bean cakes on the table and sent it to the woman standing with her head bowed.

Li Qiaoer hesitated for a moment, and seemed to muster up enough courage to push away the dish of green and elegant fragrance, and sighed bitterly: "I know what you want to ask, but I really don't know anything."

Mu Yunqi hadn't answered yet, but saw the person who had just finished sharing the tea turn around: "Then why do you say that, as long as you see the inside story, only those who see the royal officials are willing to confide?"

Knowing that she was wrong, the woman lowered her eyes again and said nothing.

Lu Chongning interjected anxiously: "Yes! You've been saying all day long that you're only willing to tell the truth when you see Mr. Lang, so you're lying to me??"

Hearing that he also blamed herself, the woman became annoyed, raised her eyes and stared at him: "You say that because I don't believe you anymore! You broke your promise to me once, who knows if you have other plans for deceiving me here? If I tell you clearly that I don't know anything, don't you want to invite death?"

"You..." Lu Chongning clenched his fists, "You don't know that I belong to Mr. Wang..."

"That's different!" The woman said firmly, "I only trust him!"

The eyebrows were obviously tightened, and Shao Jingheng turned back, only to meet a pair of eyes that were smiling, and he became calm again.

Mu Yun prayed and looked at the woman: "No one here has any malicious intentions, but now accidents happen frequently, we must find out the truth as soon as possible, so as to save your brother and keep you and Ah Nuan safe."

Hearing this, the woman was obviously moved, thought for a while, and said: "I only know that my brother may have caused trouble, so I am not allowed to show up outside, especially in Dengxian Tower and his house. I think he is being coerced by others, and he is afraid of getting involved. Ah Nuan and I; on the other hand, Ah Nuan's biological father—" After a pause, anger appeared in his eyes again: "I have told the truth earlier that I took Ah Nuan to the north to avoid being chased and killed by him, but This time, I don't know if he did it."

Mu Yunqi nodded: "I have confidence in you."

Shao Jingheng said: "Tell me about your original residence - the small courtyard on Xingdong Street, what you saw and heard the night the incident happened."

This time she didn't resist, Li Qiaoer said frankly: "That day, I went out to wander around until dark and then came back. When I walked a few feet away from the small courtyard, I noticed something strange-the snow on the ground was swept away! I didn't tell the nurse to do this. , and she didn’t have that free time, so I became wary, walked carefully to the door and listened for a long time, but there was no sound, so I pushed the door open, and saw that it was dark inside, and the snow on the ground was swept away. I Called the nanny twice but got no response, but heard voices coming towards me. I was dazed for a while, and fled along the same road without thinking too much. I ran to a crowded place before daring to stop. After thinking about it, I thought I would go back. It was not appropriate to look for my elder brother, but luckily I still had some money, so I found a small inn to settle down, spent a night in fear, and sent someone back to the small courtyard to check the next day, and learned that the place had been surrounded by officers and soldiers. I was afraid of this The matter had something to do with my elder brother, so I didn't dare to go to the government to appeal for grievances, let alone show up in the city rashly, so I had to wait until noon, when there were many people, I pretended to go to the immortal tower to inquire, but got nothing, so I completely lost news of my elder brother, until now. Yesterday," pointing at Lu Chongning with one hand, "I met him outside Dengxian Tower!"

It all sounds reasonable, and it is also in line with his original guess.

"Your brother Li Tong," it was still Shao Jingheng who asked, "did he ever mention to you who or what he provoked, which made him panic?"

Shaking her head, Li Qiaoer looked confused: "Elder brother never mentioned it. At first I thought he was afraid that Ah Nuan's biological father would send someone to hunt me down here, so he hid the two of us, but then he felt something was wrong—— Brother's concerns seem to come from his own side! However, I kept asking him, but he remained silent."

Shao Jingheng pondered for a while: "Li Tong once wandered around in Beijing for a while, did you accompany him during this time?"

The woman nodded: "Earlier, my elder brother was making a living in the middle of the capital. I lived with him for a while, and I only knew that he made a living selling dried fruits, but at that time it was the same as now. He didn't let me live with him, and he didn't allow me to go out easily. Show up, as for the reason, but when I asked, he was perfunctory." After speaking, he seemed afraid that he would not believe him, and added: "My brother and sister's parents died early, and my elder brother went out to make a living many years ago in order to support the family. I couldn't be with him when I was young, so I really don't know what he did outside."

Knowing her worries, Mu Yun prayed for relief: "We are not suspicious of you." He walked slowly: "But when your elder brother was in Beijing, he did not make a living by selling dried fruits, but was sent by others. The matter--" He looked carefully at the woman's face, and saw that the surprise did not seem to be forced, so he had the bottom line in his heart, and quickly closed his momentum: "Forget it, it's useless for you to know more about these inside stories. If you think about it, your brother should save it. What I am suffering from is not to do evil intentionally.”

Li Qiaoer is grateful to Fushen: "Thank you for your understanding! My brother is definitely not a treacherous and evil person. If I have committed crimes, I have been coerced by others and I can't help myself. If I can meet him now, I will try to persuade him to surrender and reveal the inside information. Report it truthfully, and pay for the crime, but at that time, I hoped that the officials would forgive me and give him a light sentence to correct his mistakes, the slave family is very grateful."

Mu Yunqi nodded: "This is what I wish too." After saying that, he noticed the gaze from his side, and hid his embarrassment with a smile: "Forget it, it's not early today, you go and stay with Ah Nuan first, if you can Brother news, I will let you know."

"Ah Nuan..." Muttering two words, the woman was ashamed: "I... have no face to see her."

Mu Yun prayed to comfort her: "You didn't intend to abandon her that day. You couldn't help yourself in that situation. Besides, she had already been taken away by me at that time. Since everyone is safe, why should you worry?"

Kanzhi shook his head: "No matter what, I shouldn't just leave, at least I should go in and take a look. At the beginning, I promised my sister that I would protect this child at the cost of my life, but in the end..." With sobs, " Now that my elder brother is missing and my elder sister passed away, I was supposed to leave me and Ah Nuan to depend on each other, but I..." Before I could finish my words, a huge teardrop fell down on the back of my hand, silently and quietly, but to everyone present , but it is no less than a boulder falling into the water, which makes the gentlemen tremble with fear.

"You... don't cry!" It was Lu Chongning who came back to his senses first, and hurriedly passed the bean cake in his hand forward, intending to comfort him, but said incoherently, "Eat it...don't say we bullied you." Naturally, it backfired .

"This..." Shao Jingheng hesitated to speak, and looked at Mu Yunqi with helpless eyes: Didn't it mean that if you smooth your hair, you can see the sun?

Suppressing his embarrassment, Mu Yunqi ignored the gazes from both sides, and coughed lightly: "Chongning, go and bring Ah Nuan here."

After a while, the baby who had just woken up was wrapped tightly and delivered.Li Qiaoer's eyes were full of tears, she stretched out her hand and then retracted it, she really wanted to see her but did not dare to see her, her eyes hurt her heart.

Mu Yunqi had no choice but to take the baby.In just a few days, the baby's small face became more rounded, and when he was coaxed, he opened his mouth and babbled, which was really cute.Mu Yunqi was lowering his head to tease, when suddenly he felt a shadow looming over his head—the face that was usually seen outside without a smile on his face was actually showing obvious tenderness at this moment.

Stretching out his hand to touch the baby's pink face, the man said casually, "This kid is really interesting, and his nose looks a bit like yours..."

Mu Yunqi was taken aback for a moment, then put on a devout smiling face like paying tribute: "Give you a hug?"

The hand that landed on the baby's face was retracted like lightning, and the corner of the baby's mouth twitched imperceptibly, and he straightened up with a cold face: "I'm not good at comforting children."

The embarrassment on Mu Yunqi's face has not faded away, and he heard him say: "This child's biological mother has passed away, the identity of the biological father is unknown, and the uncle may be involved in a crime, and the aunt is unwilling to raise her. In this way, she is already an orphan, and the only way to be handed over The Futian Institute has raised it."

"Futian Yard?" Li Qiaoer's almond-shaped eyes widened, "Isn't that a place for orphaned children? Ah Nuan is not an abandoned child, why did he send it there?"

Mu Yun prayed calmly: "You don't want to raise her, and your elder brother is on the run with a crime, and there is no way to take care of him. So, what is she if she is not an orphan?"

"Who said I don't want to raise her?" Li Qiaoer was in a hurry, seeing that Lu Chongning had stepped forward, she took the baby in her arms to protect her.

Mu Yunqi raised his head, his eyes were cautious: "Do you want to raise her?" Seeing her nodding her head vigorously, her voice became more serious: "You have thought about it, and if you are determined to do this, you must write a book as evidence, and you must not throw it away at will in the future." , otherwise, the crime will be judged by the laws of the country!"

"I admit it!" The woman's voice was loud and resounding.

"That's good," Mu Yunqi turned to Lu Chongning, "take her down to make a bond."

"Ah?" Lu Chongning looked bewildered, but seeing a playful expression on the corner of Patriarch's mouth, he crossed his hands: "Yes!"

After sending Li Qiaoer away, Mu Yun Qicai picked up the teacup with a sigh of relief, and heard a dull voice whispering in his ears: "Li Qiaoer is quite scheming, what she said just now may not be credible, so as not to cause complications, you still don't see her doing it lately. good."

Sipping tea, Mu Yun prayed with a resigned look: "What you say is what you say."

"I didn't mean that," the man frowned, "It's just that Li Qiao'er is Li Tong's sister after all, who knows if she has a plan when she gets close to you?" When you see her, you must be accompanied by guards, and you must not let her come within ten steps of you."

After looking over it with bored eyes, Mu Yunqi leaned back in the chair, showing a carefree expression: "As you wish."
