Waste phase tracking handwriting

Chapter 1 Leng Yue Ru Gou
A deposed prime minister was only 32 years old when he was expelled from the capital.

Gou Yue chose a locust tree with a better view and peeped at him hidden among the leaves.

The casino was not big, with three tables in total, and the men at each table were ugly. People traveling from north to south rarely had clean faces, let alone clothes.

Wen Yuanzhi was different from them, a gardenia stuck in the mire, a pearl mixed in the rotten fish and smelly shrimps.The half-ripe apricot-colored linen robe was washed white, and his somewhat indifferent eyes that looked at nothing looked at the dice from time to time.

It had been one year and three months since he lost his wife. Gou Yue had never seen the woman alive. When the servants were preparing her for burial before she was buried, she leaned on the beam and took a look. Oh, the woman was with her. She doesn't look like a Nanyan person, but looks a bit like a girl from the Dachu grassland.What a coincidence, she was very similar to the prime minister's wife. Even though the corpse had its eyes closed, Gou Yue felt that her nose and chin were really similar to hers.

It's just that her destiny is not like that. Lord Wen's late wife was the queen of a famous family.

And what about her?
Gou Yue is the girl who grew up in the escort agency. Why is she called this? The master of the escort agency said that Gou Yue's light kung fu is the best among all the apprentices. She can jump to Gou Yue in the Toad Palace by stepping on leaves.Of course this is an exaggeration.

She also took over the task of escort once. Not to mention the long journey, encountering robbers and bandits was extremely troublesome.

So she grabbed this as soon as she got out of the mission this time.

They were escorts, but this time she was following someone.It was probably a coincidence that the task fell on her. The master and his wife said that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Although he has been expelled from Liangzhu and has no earth-shaking tricks, if he finds out and becomes cruel, It would not be a good idea to ask someone to kill Gou Yue who was following him. One day, maybe the other party would see her face that was somewhat similar to that of his deceased wife and be merciful and spare her life.

Gou Yue thought in her heart that although she was not an ordinary person, compared to escorting valuable jewelry, gold and silver, a deposed powerful minister was nothing.His every move was recorded and sent to the Escort Bureau, where the master and mistress would sort it out and hand it over to the guest.

This is the easiest job I received this year.

After all, the master didn't say that he would protect him. Even if he died, it would have nothing to do with her.

She's just a stalker.

A month before she left, the master's wife taught her the art of disguise. She didn't learn it very well, but the master said it would be fine if she could use it.There are thousands of people with thousands of faces, but the key to disguise is to be casual.

But Gou Yue remembered that the last time her master said it would work, Gou Yue brought a bow and arrow with her as a dart boy. She brought more than a dozen of them, but they were not enough. As a result, she was chased and beaten by bandits. If it hadn't been for a few senior brothers, she would have died long ago. White Rock Desert.

She was lucky enough to escape with her life, but her brothers were looking after her bodyguards, and her kung fu was not good, so she was covered in wounds. The deepest one on her neck had healed, leaving a faint pink mark.

Walking in the rivers and lakes, life is like licking blood on the tip of a knife.

No different than the junior sister, she is the master's wife's pet peeve. She is never let out. If she has to go out to play, someone will follow her.

The Ordinary Hall is well-known among the people. The younger junior sister has been treated like a little princess and pampered since she was a child. Of course, she is different from an orphan without parents.

Gou Yue dozed off, and a venomous snake "suosuo" crawled over and showed its head next to her ear.

She was startled, her throat tightened, her feet were empty, and she almost fell.The leaves rattled as she shook them.

The snake was quickly caught by her. She held her breath and hurriedly looked inside the house through the leaves. Fortunately, Wen Yuanzhi did not look at the noisy tree outside the window.The leaves were still stirring, but a gust of wind blew in, covering up the horse's feet just now.

Yes, he is gambling happily, who can make the gambling dog raise its head?

A man who was once regarded as a powerful minister by the King of Yan, who responded to everyone's call in both the government and the public, now has a pale face, lost his spirit, and was driven out of Liangzhu, the capital.Change of dynasties, one emperor and one courtier!

The strange thing is that except for him, the disaster did not affect the rest of the Wen family.

Wenyuan's younger brother is still the general magistrate of Ganzhou.

Wenyuan's third sister is still the beloved concubine of the Holy Emperor.

He was the only one in the whole family who lost his fame and fortune.

I just pity his married wife, who died of illness at a young age. I heard that they were married less than a year ago.

The iron hooves of Da Chu stepped through the gate of Nan Yan, and the nobles of Nan Yan fled southward in despair. The land of the Central Plains was all the meat on Da Chu's chopping board for you to taste.

Speaking of which, those hypocrites in Nanyan, who look like immortals in their long-sleeved robes, prey on the people when they are prosperous, and abandon the people when they are in danger. They are indeed unworthy of being the masters of the world, but the new king of Chu is also really moody, and he did what he did after he came to power. Come on about those cruel and ruthless things.Hearing that Wen Yuan had arranged the wedding of King Chu by himself, Nan Yan had firmly established himself in the world, so he kicked the chair away from his feet.

There was still a lot of noise in the casino, and a woman with disheveled hair ran in.

After running out of breath, she hugged a fat man and begged him in a low voice to go home, saying that the child was seriously ill.

The fat man cursed and kicked the woman, pulled her hair and said it was all her fault for blocking the good luck, and now he lost.

Wen Yuanzhi put down the wine bottle in his hand, his cheeks turned red, and he stepped forward to stop him, "Hey, don't do anything."

With one push, he was pushed down by the man.

He stood up staggeringly, holding on to the legs of the table. His eyes were filled with bleary eyes, and he seemed to have drank too much.

Gou Yue looked up at the moon. The silver moonlight shone on the leaves, making her arms white.

It's so noisy, these people never live in peace for a day.There was an argument in the gambling house, and if nothing else happened, the man would be beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen. Why bother?

She closed her eyes and leaned against the tree trunk to sleep.

Soon, Wen Yuanzhi, who smelled of alcohol, staggered and walked out of the casino with two steps and one step back.

Invite the moon to drink together.

He coughed badly, and Gou Yue heard that he started coughing last night.When he came out just now, his eyes were still green and he had been beaten badly.

She was so sick and still drank so hard that she was really tired of life. Gou Yue shook her head and sighed.

Suddenly, he stopped, as if he had sobered up from the wine.

"Who? Come out!"

His voice was extremely cold, even more frightening than the silver moon above his head, making people's skin crawl.

Gou Yue tensed up behind the wall, was he about to be exposed?It’s a pity that I followed you for so long.

No way, her steps were very light. Logically speaking, he wouldn't be able to hear her based on her lightness.

The moonlight lengthened Wen Yuanzhi's shadow, and his back straightened even when he was drunk.

"hey-hey--"

Gou Yue heard him start laughing inexplicably, hugging a wild cat and teasing it, and said, "It turns out it's you, little guy, who followed me. What are you doing with me?"

The wild cat meowed out of his grasp, jumped onto the low wall, and plunged into the darkness.

He watched the cat disappear and didn't move for a long time.

Gou Yue was tired of waiting, but he hadn't moved away yet.

She thought that this person must be extremely lonely.

Being condemned by the emperor, the Wen family wanted to protect themselves. On the day they left Liangzhu, no one saw them off.

His first wife also fell ill, and he left no children.

He was seriously ill and could not fulfill his ambitions.

How can a proud man like him survive when his official career is over?

Gou Yue saw him standing alone on the trail, and for a moment she wanted to walk up to him and say, "Let's walk together."

Shaking his head, he told himself not to say stupid things.How could the two of them walk the same path?

Wen Yuanzhi lived in the cheapest room in the Jinci Inn. In order to monitor him, Gou Yue rented the opposite inn. Of course, it was not window to window. She was not a fool. She knew where to spy and where she would not be easily exposed. .

Staggering back, Gou Yue saw that his house was lit up. The light was not big, and the lamp oil was not good either.

The window was half open and he didn't close it, letting in the night wind, which made him cough so much that he couldn't hold on for the rest of the night.Gouyue didn't sleep either.

She whispered, this life is really unpredictable.Since she started following Wen Yuan, she no longer complains about the misery of life. So what if he has no father or mother? He has a complete set of brothers and sisters. When he comes to blame the higher authorities, no one comes to see him off. It can be seen that even if he is a close relative , matters of life and death can also separate the two words of flesh and blood, making people stand aside and watch.

She fell asleep with half-closed eyes, and vaguely heard someone playing the flute at night, expressing resentment, admiration, and weeping.

She had never liked the sound of silk and bamboo. She always found it so acrimonious that her bones softened.

Once this bone becomes soft, it will be soft until this winter.

Wen Yuanzhi has arrived in Mei County.

As usual, when he arrived at the inn, he first took out his blue cloth-wrapped stationery and two wolf-hair pens. He picked up the teapot without pouring out a drop of water.

Gou Yue saw that he was rushing so hard that the corners of his lips were burning, and he felt a little unspeakably irritated.

This person is really strange. Since he has left Liangzhu, the world is so big that he can go anywhere slowly, so why bother to rush now.

The snow was falling heavily, Gou Yue leaned half of her body out of the window, and soon her shoulders turned white.

By evening there was seven or eight inches of snow on the ground. Only the main road could not accumulate deep snow due to the frequent walking of pedestrians.

Gou Yue searched for an hour, but couldn't find a suitable house to live in. The place was originally small, and there were very few inns and restaurants.

This residence is not only for her to be able to eat and drink, but also to be able to see Wen Yuanzhi when she comes. His starting and ending must be under her nose.

Forget it, it seems there is nothing we can do.

Mei County is too small to be compared with those capital cities.

She rubbed her hands and took a sip of cold air as soon as she went out.

Bah, stalking people is not a good job, it was so cold that she could no longer feel her hands.

Gou Yue changed her face and walked past him at the corner of the stairs, pretending to be nonchalant.

It was the first time.

After following him for so long, the two of them never even looked at each other.

The most recent time was when he stood too close to the shore near the Huaishui River and almost fell. Gou Yue didn't know whether he was deliberately seeking death or was careless, but when she realized what she was doing, Wen Yuanzhi's back collar was already on her In hand.

She pulled him back violently, and quickly moved away from the crowd watching the tide, lowering her head so as not to meet the searching eyes.

Wen Yuanzhi, who was still in shock, did not find out who saved his life.

"This girl——" He stopped her the moment she passed by him.

He didn't know her last name and only called her girl, but Gou Yue just felt that he had called her name millions of times.

The wind blew leisurely at the corner of the stairs. The wind in the cold winter was biting, but Gou Yue's palms warmed up.

When he turned back, his heart was about to jump out of his throat.

Fortunately, his face was covered with a human skin mask.She still couldn't help but swallow.

"What's the matter, Your Excellency?"

She lowered her voice, and her face could change, but she didn't know onomatopoeia, so now if she had to change into men's clothing, she wouldn't utter a word.

It would be terrible if Wen Yuanzhi remembered her real voice. He just hoped that if he lowered his voice, he wouldn't be able to recognize it next time.

"Is the girl staying here too?"

Gou Yue said yes.

His eyes were extremely clear. The rumors of powerful officials manipulating power, collaborating with the enemy and treason, and disturbing the situation in Liangzhu seemed to have nothing to do with him. He was just a scholar with clear sleeves.

"The lamp oil in the room has frozen due to the cold weather and cannot be melted. I wonder if the lamp oil in the girl's room is frozen."

Gou Yue frowned. She had always known that the lamp oil in the inn was divided into three grades, but she felt extremely desolate when he heard him say this.

"I just paid the money, but I didn't know what was happening in the room," she said.

She lives near Wenyuan, and the furnishings in her house are much better than his.

"In that case, I'm going downstairs to get some good lamp oil, so I'll get some for the girl as well."

"We have never met before, why do you want to help me?"

He chuckled, "We meet by chance, it's fate. Girl, don't worry about my other plans, it's just a matter of convenience."

In his eyes, a girl outside was pitiful and helpless, so he wanted to help her. Gou Yue raised her lips, "I know." He had a Bodhisattva heart.

"Then please wait here, girl."

"I'll go with you." Gou Yue said.

"it is good."

There are really very few guests in this inn. It’s the time when thousands of houses are lit up and families are reunited. It’s the New Year. Who wants to live outside and eat cold food alone?

After searching all the inns, there was only one boy.

Asking him for lamp oil, he ignored him. Gou Yue became angry and could only try his best to hold it in. "If there is no oil, we will go out and buy some."

He chuckled, his laughter making people go crazy, "It's Chinese New Year, where are you going to buy it? There are a few vendors selling lamp oil on the street. Just use it and let it dissolve under water before you light it up."

"you!"

"What the hell, if the girl is angry, she won't stay here with us." He whispered, "But even if you can't, you can find a few others."

Her fists were already clenched, and before she could release them, someone behind her gently patted her shoulder, as if to relieve her, "That's all, don't embarrass him."

The waiter sighed, "Turn right and get some water from the hot stove in the back kitchen."

"Since you are a buddy, why are you so negligent!?" Gou Yue was a little dissatisfied.

On the other side, Wen Yuanzhi had already brought a small pot of hot water and filled it with tea on a table in front of the counter.

Gou Yue said, "There's no one here, why are you adding tea to this table?"

Wen Yuanzhi said nothing and silently filled the teapot more than half full.

The waiter put down what he was doing and looked at the two customers.

"Did you notice that all the pots here are cold, but this one is warm, so you thought I would make tea with this pot and add water for me?" said the waiter.

Gou Yue saw that Wen Yuanzhi did not deny it.

"Why are you helping him? You work so sluggishly. You can't blame the inn for not having any guests." Gou Yue said to him in a low voice.

The thick towel in the waiter's hand absorbed water, and water stains splashed all over the floor. He still pointed at Gou Yue, "You girl, you are so rude. I don't have any guests here. Can you blame me?"
