Chapter 98 The Fifth Person
After tossing all afternoon, it is already sunset, and the light will not be visible any later.

The big lantern in front of the Hibiscus Flower Temple has been lit up, and the breeze blows, and the lantern flutters gently in the wind.

There are fewer and fewer people among the flowers, only occasionally seeing three or two kittens.

Duan Shu anxiously opened her eyes wide and looked under the tree, but she waited for a long time, and the place below was empty, and there was no one there.

Duan Yi looked at her and patted her on the shoulder, "It's past the time you said, we should go back. Why don't I take you to have a drink? People who are frustrated in love usually have to get drunk? "

Duan Shu raised her head, her eyes were dim, "I don't know whether the door of the Love Field opens to the east or west. Or I will take you to the wedding bar of Uncle Gao Guo's wedding at that time! Maybe you will still be able to see it at that time." I call the young man in the brothel "sister and sister."

As soon as she finished speaking, she hurriedly covered her mouth.

She was not like this in the past. She remembers the rules that the girl's family should abide by, and she never leaves her mouth.

Nowadays, what kind of absurd words can come out, this is probably the one who is close to Zhu Zhechi, and the one who is close to Duan Yi is black.

As Duan Shu was thinking, she saw Duan Yi's hand pointing at the tree.

I saw two people coming down from the tree, the one at the head was wearing a white brocade robe, holding a folding fan in his hand, his clothes were dripping wet, and the words on the fan were all blurred because of being wet.

His hair was dripping with water, but he looked around anxiously, and was relieved to see that Duan Shu hadn't come yet.

"My lord, there is a big rock here, please sit down and drink some hot water. You are all wet, why don't we go back first, it is windy at night, it will be bad if you catch the wind and cold."

"Wait for us to go home, change clothes, and then look for an opportunity to apologize to Miss Duan."

As the boy said, he handed a bamboo tube to the white-robed man. The man opened it, took a gulp, and then sighed.

He handed the bamboo tube to the boy, fumbled in his arms a few more times, and took out a paper bag.

The paper bag was crushed and wet.

The white-robed man gently opened it, and the mung bean cake inside had been crushed and soaked in water, which looked a bit horrible.

"The first time I saw Miss Duan Er, she was eating mung bean cake. It was Donggong's birthday, and grandpa went to Beijing to report his job. Follow Grandpa."

"Miss Duan Er ate up a whole plate of mung bean cakes by herself. At that time, I thought, if I see her again next time, I must give her a box. Our Du family has a secret recipe of mung bean cakes, so she wants to eat it ?”

Duan Yi listened on the tree and rubbed her arms. She poked Duan Shu, pointed behind her, and made a gesture, "Do you want to go down?"

Duan Shu was a little dazed, she came back to her senses, blushed, and was about to go down the tree, when she heard the man under the tree stand up, he gently put the mung bean cake on the big rock beside him, and It was a heavy sigh.

"Let's go, let's leave Jiannan Road tomorrow. After we go home, ask Auntie to ask Miss Luo to propose marriage."

When the servant heard this, he immediately became anxious, "My lord, are you crazy? Didn't you come to Duan's house just for Miss Duan Er? Miss Luo clearly knew that you liked Miss Duan Er, so she followed her with a stern face.

"He knew you were coming to see Miss Duan Er today, so he deliberately dragged you into the water together. This is all a trick from the backyard, but anyone with eyes can see that she wants to marry you, son, and she wants to marry you like crazy Already!"

"My lord, is it wrong to save someone? You saved Miss Luo, so you can't marry Miss Duan Er?"

The young man in white shook his head, "I knew it was a trap, but I jumped down anyway, because I can't just ignore death, and the moment I jumped down, I already had a choice."

"Forget it, I'm just an ordinary scholar, and my family background and status are very different from the second girl Duan. It's my grandfather's blessing to see her. My grandfather passed away, and I was still in filial piety. I shouldn't Come..."

"But when I glanced at it back then, I finally had thoughts in my heart. Miss Luo has obsessions, why don't I?"

As he spoke, he sneezed, and just after taking two steps, he felt that something was wrong, so he supported the boy again, pulled off his shoes, fell over, and a lively fish fell to the ground. After thumping a few times, he bumped into the big green stone next to him, and stopped moving.

The man in white squatted down, picked up a branch, and dug a hole beside the bluestone, buried the fish in it, covered it with soil, and then clapped his hands.

He led the boy downhill.

There was a puddle of water left on the wet ground, and on the big bluestone lay a package of mung bean snacks spread out in a shapeless shape, and further to the side, there was a new earthen grave.

"Third sister, take me down," Duan Shu said softly.

Her eyes were dark, and her voice was much duller, even a little nasal.

Duan Yi raised her hand to put on her hood, one in each hand, grabbed her and Duan Ming, and jumped off the tree.

As soon as he landed, Duan Ming sat down on the ground. He smiled awkwardly, rubbed his legs, and said embarrassingly, "Squatting on the tree for too long, my legs are a little numb."

"Second sister, isn't this Du Yu? I met him in the academy these days. His grandfather was Du Cheng, a great scholar in the world. When doing homework, everyone asks him if there is anything they don't know. His temper is excellent."

"The Du family has a rigorous family style and is an excellent family. Second sister, if Du Yu likes you, why don't you marry him, and what about Miss Luo, I can marry her!"

Duan Shu, who was silent at the side, listened and burst into tears.

She cried and ran to the fish's new grave, and said while crying, "Why do you think your life is so hard? You are swimming in the water, but there is a fisherman who wants to catch you." go."

"You said it's okay to die, but you're a little afraid of pain. Steaming might not hurt that much. But he refused and insisted on deep-frying, which left you covered in bubbles... You were so frightened that you finally saw someone fall into the water." .”

"Thinking that this is the only chance to escape, I got into my shoes. I don't know, in the end, it's still a dead end. You are good, and you will have a good pregnancy in your next life, and don't want to be a fish again."

As she spoke, she wiped her tears with her sleeve indiscriminately, picked up the mung bean cake on the big bluestone, and placed it next to the fish.

She walked back, walked to Duan Ming's side, squatted down, and squeezed his numb legs, "Have you seen that crazy girl who criticizes Luo? Are you going to marry her? How old are you, and you only care about raising her?" A good body is real, what should I marry?"

"Do you think your second sister is the one who stepped on your corpse and crossed the fire pit? Let's go, we've never been here today."
