Chapter 83 The City Lord Is Sick 15(1/2)
Since they separated that day, although Tao Yu was still in the temple, he had less time to meet with Yue Linze. Apart from the time when he had to sit together for dinner every day, he basically did not meet at other times.
Niannian played with the little monks all day long and did not often stick to Tao Yu. Tao Yu had plenty of time to think about a question: If the deputy personality no longer likes her, then does it still need to make some messes of revenge?
The answer is no. He doesn't care about her anymore, so nothing she does means. It's better to break the window paper as soon as possible and talk to him to see if he can get out the root of his current hostility while he is not completely ruthless to him, and solve the problem and get money back in reality.
But the problem is that he still has feelings for himself, and she can feel that this matter will not end so easily. If she likes her, she dares to kill her with one shot. How could it be too easy to let this matter pass?
Tao Yu was thinking while wandering around the temple. As she walked, she suddenly heard a crying sound. She raised her eyebrows and felt that the sound was very familiar, so she went to check it out.
As a result, the scholar who twisted his waist that day was lying on the bed and crying bitterly. Tao Yu stood at the door and listened for a while, and couldn't help but go in and ask, "Scholar, why are you crying?"
The scholar raised his head with tears in his eyes, and saw that it was the strong and black sister who was lying down again and continued howling. Tao Yu twitched his lips, and simply moved in and sat by his bed, admiring his crying expression.
The scholar cried and couldn't cry in her eyes as if she was watching the show. He burped and asked, "Sister, what are you doing?"
"Just take a walk and you will hear you howling. What are you howling?" Tao Yu asked with a raised eyebrows.
The scholar was also depressed for a long time, so he sat up and hugged the pillow and began to talk: "I came out this time and ran away from home. That day I told you that I came to the temple to worship Buddha, but in fact I was asking for it to be taken in."
"I can see it." The road was blocked with heavy snow that day, and there was not a single pilgrimage. He came alone. Later, he never mentioned the matter of burning incense, which was not like coming to worship Buddha.
The scholar sucked and said to himself: "I had already made a marriage contract with my childhood sweetheart, but later her family fell into trouble. My mother thought her family was too poor, so she wanted to break the marriage and forced me to marry other women. I disobeyed and had to escape."
"... Then it's not a day or two for you. Why did you suddenly remember to cry today?" Tao Yuqi said.
The scholar looked at her sadly: "Today, my sweetheart's letter came, saying that their family was going south. If I couldn't marry her, then maybe I would never see you again in this life..."
Thinking that he could no longer suppress his sadness from his lover from now on, the scholar cried louder. Tao Yu pressed his ears that were so pierced and hurt, and said helplessly for a while: "Okay, okay, what's the big deal? This one is gone, you have the next one, you will always meet your favorite."
"Sister, you don't have someone who loves each other, how could you understand my pain!" The scholar was very sad about her lukewarm attitude.
Tao Yu's mouth twitched: "How do you know I don't?"
"You look like this... I guess you are not good at it when you are young." The scholar looked at her and said as tactfully as possible.
Tao Yu couldn't help rolling his eyes, thinking that this guy was not worthy of sympathy at all, so he simply turned his head and left. But when he reached the door, she suddenly had a plan and looked back at the scholar: "I have a way to make your mother agree to your marriage with your sweetheart. Do you want to listen?"
The scholar was stunned and then looked at her expectantly.
Tao Yu's lips curled up, she tried the last time. If she couldn't bully him this time, she would accept her fate, but if she could bully him... Yue Linze, don't blame me for taking revenge. She told her plan with bad intentions.
The scholar hesitated after hearing her method: "Can your method work?"
"It's definitely possible. At that time, you act according to the plan, ensuring that your parents are willing to marry that girl, but you will agree first. This matter must be kept confidential, but you don't need to be too confidential. You can reveal something to the girl first and tell her not to be anxious and wait with peace of mind, so as to avoid misunderstandings between you." Tao Yu considered everything in mind.
The scholar nodded, and then had a question: "Where is the city lord? How do you guarantee that he is willing to help us?"
"This is what I want to tell you. The city lord is the most upright and I am afraid he doesn't want to lie with us, so I have to hide it from him and leave the rest to me." After Tao Yu said that he still had doubts, he immediately disliked him, "If you want me to help you with a correct word, if you don't, then I won't care."
"If you want it, you will naturally want it!" said the scholar hurriedly.
Tao Yu was satisfied and began to talk to him about some details. Not far outside the yard, Yue Linze stood under the pine tree in a single dress, his face as pale and cold as the snow scene behind him. He seemed to have lost his life, and the soul in his eyes had gone where it went.
Since she said those words to her that day, he wanted to see her, but was afraid of seeing her. Whenever he couldn't help but go to see her, he remembered her disgusting eyes, so he retreated. Today, he finally plucked up the courage to secretly see her, but he didn't expect that she had gone to another man's room.
He had seen that scholar before. Although he was a little cowardly and poor-mouthed, his eyes were clean, which was clean from the inside out, completely different from his hypocrisy and dirtyness. Is that the type she likes?
When he thought of her indifferent expression, his heart stirred up until pus flowed out of the wound that had not been healed for a long time and his whole body was trembling in pain. He could feel that he was still alive.
Tao Yu came out of the scholar's house and saw his miserable appearance. Yue Linze looked at her unexpectedly and took a step back in panic. After thinking about something, he stopped and resisted the urge to cry and walked forward: "What are you doing here, Nian Nian?"
"Niannian went to set off firecrackers with the little monks, so I didn't follow him." Tao Yu pretended not to see something was wrong with him and said with a bliss.
Yue Linze stared at her head hungrily while she was not looking at her: "Where are you? Why are you here?"
Tao Yu was stunned at first, then seemed to think of something, and the smile on his face could hardly be hidden: "I, I just came to see him..."
"Who is he?" Yue Linze asked.
Tao Yu looked at him carefully, with a strange light shining in his eyes: "No, nothing, it's just a scholar living here... That, Lord, can I ask you to do me a favor?"
"What's the matter?" Yue Linze felt a bad premonition in his heart.
Tao Yu smiled shyly, and her face that had been dark for several degrees seemed a little distorted. However, Yue Linze did not look ugly, but instead kept every expression in her heart.
Tao Yu thought for a moment and said slowly: "I'm not afraid of the city lord's joke. I fell in love with the scholar at first sight and had just promised each other for life. However, his parents' power in his family would probably disagree with this marriage. I also asked the city lord to help us and give us the marriage."
Yue Linze looked at her calmly, his ears rumbling. He could hear every word she said clearly, but it was connected, but he didn't know what it meant.
After saying that, Tao Yu hadn't seen Yue Linze react for a long time. He turned his eyes and knelt down: "I would like to ask the city lord to help me this time. I will do my best to take care of the lady and repay you as a cow or a horse."
When Yue Linze saw her kneeling toward him, his heart suddenly felt ache, and his palm stretched towards her without thinking. He thought of something when he reached halfway through, but in the end he still stiffly took it back, as if nothing had happened, he said hoarsely: "The ground is cold, get up first."
"I would like to ask the city lord to agree to me." Tao Yu's voice was firm, which meant that he would not kneel down if he didn't agree.
Yue Linze looked at her quietly, and after a long time, he finally agreed tremblingly: "Okay."
Tao Yu paused for a moment, and suddenly felt complicated again. He was also doing it. He wanted to force him to agree, but he really agreed. She had the urge to pry open his head and see what was inside.
The play has reached this point, and even if it is not happy, it will continue. Tao Yu stood up as if he is happy: "Thank you, Lord, when we get married, how about you go to the wedding banquet?"
Every time she said something, Yue Linze's face turned pale. Just as Tao Yu thought he was about to faint, Yue Linze's face changed. Tao Yu followed his gaze and saw thick smoke floating in his residence. The specific location should be in the study. Yue Linze thought of what was there and rushed towards the study immediately.
Tao Yu was startled by his movements, and hurriedly wanted to follow him after seeing the fire, but Yue Linze suddenly turned around and said sternly: "No come here!"
Tao Yu was stunned by his sudden attack for a moment, and then he looked at his back and became rebellious. He refused to let him go, so he chased after him.
There was already a group of people in front of the study, all of whom came to put out the fire, while Niannian stood with two little monks, looking very frightened, one of them was holding firecrackers and candles in his hand.
Yue Linze rushed over, and Niannian burst into tears when she saw him: "Dad..."
But he didn't see Nian Nian. After seeing the fire in the study, he rushed in without thinking. Tao Yu saw this scene as soon as he came over. He was so crazy that he couldn't take care of anything and roared angrily: "Yue Linze! What are you doing?!"
Yue Linze seemed to have not heard her voice and entered the study without looking back. Tao Yu's heart skipped a beat and raised his foot to go in, but was stopped by the group: "Donor, you can't go in, it's too dangerous inside."
"Yue Linze is still inside, he is even more dangerous! I want to save people!" Tao Yu saw that someone was stopping her at this time, and immediately became angry. He ran into the study while they were not paying attention. He cried behind him, but she didn't care about anything, and she only focused on the idiot who rushed into the fire just now.
The study room was filled with smoke and fire. Tao Yu was burned several times when he entered it. Fortunately, she was dressed thickly and had a bunch of covers, and she was not injured.
After entering the room, she searched around and saw Yue Linze holding a box tightly in the corner. When she saw her, her eyes were red and yelled: "Who asked you to come, get out!"
Tao Yu rolled his eyes, rushed to him regardless of the danger, and helped him lift a corner of the box: "Don't talk nonsense, go out quickly!"
"Go out!" Yue Linze said angrily.
Tao Yu was so hot that he was sweating all over. Seeing that he refused to cooperate, he couldn't help but say angrily: "Yue Linze, don't go too far, hurry up!"
It was this time, and she was too lazy to hide it anymore, so she simply scolded her.
Yue Linze was stunned for a moment, gritted his teeth and took off his outer shirt, covered her head and helped her run out. Tao Yu stopped him from dragging her away, and couldn't help but frown: "Box! Box!" As soon as she screamed twice, she inhaled a mouthful of thick smoke and had to shut up immediately.
Yue Linze seemed to be unable to hear it, and pushed her out with a cold face. When he was about to reach the door, a piece of beam fell down. He reached out to block it without thinking. The beam, which had been burned into an empty shell, was instantly pushed out by him. Tao Yu was shocked and before she could see clearly, she was pushed out.
Tao Yu fell head-on on the ground outside. When she saw it clearly, Yue Linze had already broken back. She wanted to go in again, but Niannian ran over and hugged her legs, and she was so angry that she cried.
Before Tao Yu could get rid of her, Yue Linze rushed out of the inside, and as soon as he got outside, he fell to the ground, and the box in his arms also fell a meter away. With a click of the wooden board spread out, a river lantern rolled out inside, and then a pile of rice paper spread out, all of which were portraits of a person.
Yue Linze was ashamed as if he was paraded by a street, his face turned red in an instant. He struggled to pick up the portrait, and tried to block the river lamp with his body. In a moment, his body was covered in dirty things, like a beggar, holding everything in his arms, and facing his back to Tao Yu, he didn't dare to look at her, and he looked embarrassed and looked like the lord of a city.
Tao Yu looked at him in a daze. Thinking of his black and yellow palms that he had just seen, his heart trembled, and he remembered the fact that he had blocked Liang Mu just now. She subconsciously moved forward. Before she could speak, the scholar shouted loudly from there.
"Sister! Are you okay with your sister?" The scholar rushed to Tao Yu and immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her. "I just heard that it was on fire, so I came out to take a look. I didn't expect that I heard about the matter in the fire. Why are you running into the fire? You look very smart, why are you so stupid..."
He Balabala kept talking in his ear, Tao Yu was irritated and couldn't help but say, "Can you shut up!"
The scholar closed his mouth in an instant, then became aggrieved again, looking at her pitifully: "I just care about you, why are you yelling at me?" He still felt that they were already friends through what happened just now, but now it seems that he is self-indulgent.
"Okay, okay, I know I'm wrong, you go back." Tao Yu heard that he was about to cry again, so he quickly persuaded him. After he persuaded the scholar, he would go to see where Yue Linze had just sat there, and there was no one there.
Tao Yu was quiet for a long time, but finally hugged Niannian for a long time, coaxed the child to sleep and went to find Yue Linze.
Although the study was burned clean, there was no bedroom. Tao Yu looked at the intact door and finally stood in front of the door and knocked. No one in the room responded. She took a deep breath and simply pushed the door open and went in.
Yue Linze was sitting at the table holding a river lantern, staring blankly. The floor was scattered on the table and was full of portraits of Tao Yu. Tao Yu could see one of them at a glance, which was the way she once wore a wedding dress.
...As he was misunderstood by himself, not only did he not reduce his liking for her, but he also became obstructed by success after so many years. Tao Yu looked at him quietly and chuckled after a long time.
Yue Linze knew it was her from the beginning. He instinctively wanted to hide the thing, but knew that doing so would only make one look hypocritical, so he didn't dare to move. After hearing her smile, he became stiff: "What's the matter?"
"...I may not be able to do the job of taking care of the lady." Tao Yu raised his head and looked at him calmly, trying to find some loopholes in his eyes.
Yue Linze did not let her down for a moment of panic and quickly calmed down: "Why? Could it be that the reward was not enough?"
Tao Yu chuckled, and a cold light burst out from his eyes: "Is it a reward or another reason? Does the city lord understand in his heart?"
"What does it mean?" Yue Linze pinched his palm and tried his best to make his voice sound normal.
Tao Yu let out a soft hum from his nose, took off the messy things on his face, no longer concealed his voice, rubbed his neck and said indifferently: "Since you have already seen who I am, why should you pretend not to know me?"
Yue Linze watched her take off the thing from her face, and the familiar face reappeared in front of him. He wanted to reach out to touch her, but his whole body was cold after seeing her eyes.
"You are back." Yue Linze tried his best to control it, but he still inadvertently exposed his thoughts.
Tao Yu curled the corners of his lips: "Yes, I'm back, but don't worry, I didn't plan to destroy your Wuhuan City this time." In fact, his previous thoughts were not wrong at all. To relieve the anger means that the world disappeared, so strictly speaking, she came here to destroy it at first.
Since that's the case, there is nothing to deny, and he doesn't believe it if he denies it.
Yue Linze looked at her for a long time and felt a warm liquid flowing out of her palm, and then suddenly came back to his senses: "What are you here to do?"
"Come and have some fun for yourself by the way." Tao Yu smiled slightly.
Yue Linze's Adam's apple moved, and his voice became hoarse: "Let me see what I do? I'll kill you..."
"You are also for the sake of the people of the whole city. I understand you and don't hate you," Tao Yu glanced at him and began to take off his clothes in front of him.
To be continued...
