Drunken Crane Immortal

Chapter 27

Hua Zhaoshui couldn't tell the time, he became a little insensitive to day and night, but he could clearly see a few dead thrushes in the birdcage outside the window.

He could feel that the young master seemed to be very busy, he hadn't come to see him for a long time, only some servants came to take care of him, and brought him meals every day, but those people refused to look up at him, let alone talk to him .

Probably because he was afraid that he would hurt himself again, even the bowls and chopsticks were replaced with wooden ones, and there was not even a vase in the room.

Every time Sheng Jianwei came, he would talk to him nicely first, coax him to eat, then hug him, watch him break down, try to coax him well, and break him down again.Almost every time.

It has been five days since the young master came over last time, these two days he would sit up straight when he heard footsteps outside.When he didn't know how many times he reacted like this, he suddenly felt a sense of horror - he had already begun to long to see the young master.After all, only in this way can he alleviate some of the loneliness and fear of being locked up here alone.

He curled up, and when he was thinking about this issue, the young master who hadn't seen him for a few days opened the door and came in. He hadn't taken off his official uniform yet, and he felt a little dusty.

As soon as Sheng Jianwei came in, he saw Hua Zhaoshui sitting barefoot by the window, walked over and hugged him routinely, put his finger on his instep, and said, "Why don't you wear shoes?"

Hua Zhaoshui didn't overreact to his touch anymore, she still tilted her head to look at the birds outside, and said, "I can't even go out of the room, why do I have to wear shoes?"

The red rope on his feet is very long, long enough for him to walk freely in this room, but not enough for him to walk out of this door.

Sheng Jian frowned slightly, and said, "If I let you go for a walk in the yard, can you put away your... lifeless appearance?"

Hua Zhaoshui turned her head to look at him, moved her legs, shook off his fingers, and said, "Master, you locked me here just to see me like this? Why do you still despise me in turn?"

Sheng Jianwei stared into his eyes. In the past, the look in these eyes was very lively, and he would dodge in fear, but also jumped with sincere joy.But today, at this moment, Sheng Jianwei only saw numbness and a flash of hatred in these eyes.

Sheng Jianwei went to hold his hand, but he didn't break free. With the other hand, he untied his belt, threw it casually, and said in a tired tone, "Just stay here, or you can carry me to the bed, I don't want to move."

Sheng Jianwei looked at his side face, and felt for a moment that he had indeed made a wrong decision, and he suddenly recognized what Hua Zhaoshui said at the beginning: Some birds will really die without freedom.

Before he could speak, Hua Zhaoshui suddenly spoke, pointed out the window and said, "Master, count from here, the third birdcage, please ask someone to clean it up."

Sheng Jianwei also looked over and said, "What happened to that birdcage?"

Hua Zhaoshui said calmly, "The bird inside is dead. It's been several days, but you haven't come, and you haven't let anyone talk to me. The bird's body is still inside."

Sheng Jianwei gripped the fingers on the back of his hand tightly, and said, "Got it."

"Do you want to hear what's going on outside?" Sheng Jianwei said.

Without waiting for the other party to answer, he went on to say: "I haven't come here for so many days because something happened in the court. My father was impeached by more than a dozen officials, my elder brother was demoted, and Zhaoyi's mother was grounded. Now there are only two words left for me to say."

Hua Zhaoshui looked at him without saying a word.

Sheng Jianwei simply sat at his feet, held his hand, and said, "I said last time that I would give you a handle on me. Do you want it now? A handle that can kill me."

Hua Zhaoshui opened her mouth, her expression was a little loose, but she still didn't say anything, she turned her face away.

Sheng Jian smiled and said, "Do you remember the last time I took you to Jiangnan? The reason I went that time was because I was doing business with the Xu family. Do you know what business I am doing?"

Hua Zhaoshui was attracted by him and said, "Didn't you say that the Xu family is in the rice noodle business?"

"Now the biggest profit is not rice noodles, but salt. Rice or noodles are just a cover-up."

Hua Zhaoshui showed a somewhat surprised expression, and said, "But...the salt is in the hands of the government, right? Ordinary people can't..."

He stopped halfway through his words, his eyes widened, and he said, "Young Master, you are not in the business of private salt, are you? You will be killed if you catch him!"

Sheng Jianwei liked his expression very much, smiled sincerely, and said, "Of course I know, so let me tell you, you can go out and expose me and tell them to check the bank I often go to, and the Qing Dynasty. Fu Restaurant, there are fraudulent accounts in the restaurant, which is the evidence of my private salt business."

Hua Zhaoshui was dumbfounded, and after a long time he said in a low voice: "You locked me here, I do hate you, but I don't want to kill you. I said it a long time ago."

Sheng Jianwei leaned over and kissed his eyes, pressed against his forehead, and stroked his hair slowly, as if making a terrible decision.

Hua Zhaoshui was a little flustered by his appearance, so she couldn't help asking, "Master, why did Master get impeached?"

Sheng Jianwei said: "The big tree just attracts the wind."

Hua Zhaoshui didn't understand what was going on in the hall, so she just groaned, not knowing what to say.

Sheng Jianwei suddenly raised his eyes, looked at him and said, "Do you want me to let you go?"

Hua Zhaoshui nodded without hesitation, and heard him ask: "Do you hate being by my side so much?"

This time Hua Zhaoshui hesitated for a while, pursed his lips, and said: "Master, I don't hate you, I'm just afraid of you, I can't guess your mood, and I don't know what to do to make you feel better." Don't be angry with me. I hate it when you lock me up here, and you don't allow me to talk to others. Master, I'm a human being, not your kitten or dog, and I hate you for being like this. "

As he spoke, his eyelashes trembled, the corners of his lips curled down, his voice was aggrieved, and the fingers he held moved uneasily.

Sheng Jianwei heard him say so much, but only said one sentence: "I see."

This time, he wanted to say something, but he changed his mind at this moment. He asked, "If I let you out, would you still hate me?"

Hua Zhaoshui raised her face, her eyes were already moist, but she didn't understand what he meant, she just stared at him without answering.

Sheng Jianwei touched his face, showed a look that Hua Zhaoshui had never seen before, and said, "If you want to escape, you'd better hurry up, don't let me find you. If I let you go, you will immediately Leave Jinyun City and don't stay for a day, understand?"

Hua Zhaoshui showed some doubts, and before he had time to react, he lowered his head and suddenly pulled out the saber from his waist, the seemingly indestructible red rope was broken, leaving only a section wrapped around his foot on the wrist.

"You can go." Sheng Jianwei stood up, standing with his back to the light, with a contemptuous expression and a stiff tone.

Hua Zhaoshui stared at it for a long time, and when he stood up, he staggered suddenly. Sheng Jianwei helped him to stand up straight.

"Really...really?" Hua Zhaoshui raised her legs several times, repeatedly confirming that there were no restraints on her feet, showing a look of joy that she hadn't seen for many days.

Sheng Jianwei stared at him, and finally saw that familiar look, couldn't help touching his eyes again, and said, "Put on your shoes, I'll ask someone to take you back later, after you... want to Where to go, I won't look for you again."

Hua Zhaoshui was a little puzzled, probably because he felt that he was abnormal, so she couldn't help but wince, and said, "Master, do you really want to let me go?"

Sheng Jian lowered his head slightly, put his lips against his, and said slowly, "Really."

Half a syllable of the second word was swallowed into his mouth, Hua Zhaoshui almost couldn't stand still, he supported his back to concentrate on coping with this sudden kiss.

During this period of time, Hua Zhaoshui was exhausted physically and mentally from his torture, and she couldn't remember the last time she kissed seriously.He only felt that the young master was extraordinarily gentle this time, gentler than any kiss before.There was no biting, only a dizzying tingling sensation, Hua Zhaoshui couldn't help grabbing his arm, and raised her head to take the initiative to kiss.

Hua Zhaoshui was so dazed by the kiss, she was still a little reluctant to part after the kiss, and stuck to his arms very intimately.

Sheng Jianwei kissed his forehead again, and said, "Let's go, it will be dark if we don't go."

Hua Zhaoshui looked at him and said: "Master, if you are always so easy to talk, I will continue to like you."

Sheng Jianwei frowned, and looked over in disbelief, maybe because he realized that the "like" he said was the same when he applied it to crab porridge, and turned his face away, saying: "You are here with me For so long, I have delayed your earning money, and I will make up for you what you lost, and put it in the carriage, take it, and go a little farther away."

Hua Zhaoshui felt that something was wrong with the young master today. He saw that the young master hesitated to speak several times, so he couldn't help asking, "Master, do you have something to say to me?"

Sheng Jianwei looked over, obviously he had something to say, but he said, "No."
