The embroiderer suddenly raised her head.

Ouyang Rong blinked, but did not mention the ice-white jade hairpin. He waved the azure ribbon in his hand, and his face gradually became serious:

"Tell me what's wrong with your eyes. It's hard to ask during the day when there are so many people."

Zhao Qingxiu lowered her head again.

Ouyang Rong waited for a long time, but she didn't speak.

"Isn't it convenient to say it?"

Zhao Qingxiu took the lamp, brought it close to her hand, dipped her fingers in water, and wrote on the table.

Ouyang Rong lowered his eyes and looked.

Zhao Qingxiu: Can I not say it?

Ouyang Rong was silent for a while and nodded:

"OK."

As he said that, he took the opportunity to feed her the balls, leaned forward, and looked at her neck. There was a faint wound in the shape of a tooth mark.

Ouyang Rong took a deep breath and spoke in as calm and meaningless a tone as possible:

"But you have to tell me something. Was it someone else who caused you harm?"

Zhao Qingxiu immediately shook her head.

Ouyang Rong was silent for a moment, "Do you naturally suffer from eye disease?"

Zhao Qingxiu hesitated and shook her head.

"It wasn't someone else who did it, and it wasn't an eye disease, so what else could it be?"

He couldn't help but speak louder, which made Zhao Qingxiu tremble. Sitting on the stone bench, she suddenly turned her back to him, hugging her knees and burying her face.

Ouyang Rong slowly calmed down his expression. After a while, his tone was very calm and gentle: "Okay, let's not talk about it for now. You... just turn around."

Zhao Qingxiu raised her face slightly, as if she didn't hear anything, and looked towards the distant night with a pair of bright eyes on her face.

That day, Old Monster Sun took action again, and the condition for rescuing Tan Lang was to take one of her eyes.

She agreed without hesitation.

Later, she separated from the awakened Tanlang in the underground palace and returned to Yunmeng Jianze. She went to find Old Monster Sun and fulfilled her promise before the old Taoist priest sent him back to the water prison.

Old Monster Sun was very impatient and asked her repeatedly if she wanted to go back on her word. He said that it was still too late to go back on her word and that she could just go and get the dog eyes from that heartless brat. He also said that she had saved his life, so she could take him out. One pair of eyes is not too much.

Zhao Qingxiu firmly refused. Regarding the matter of missing an eye, she took out her dagger and prepared to do it herself, but was stopped by the sudden appearance of the senior sister.

The senior sister strongly opposed it, but Old Monster Sun, who had always been cowardly of the senior sister, turned out to be unexpectedly resolute.

Moreover, when miracle doctors save people, one thing for another has been a rule on the mountain for thousands of years, and Yunmeng Jianze is no exception.

Later, the two of them entered a room and didn't know what they were talking about.

After coming out, the old geek Sun asked her to eat something with a cold face. At the same time, he still did not forget to persuade her: whenever she regrets it, she can still get the dog eyes from that brat in exchange.

Zhao Qingxiu ignored it and only remembered that after swallowing the thing, the sky was dark and the earth was dark, and she was wandering in the sky. She woke up again, opened her eyes, and before her eyes... it was already "dark".

He reached out and touched it, but although his eyes were still there, he was completely blind.

After that day, Old Monster Sun was thrown into the water prison again, but the aftermath of this incident had just begun. On the second day, it aroused strong dissatisfaction among the other senior sisters. Even the fifth senior sister directly questioned the senior sister and said something in public...

Shocking and even heartbreaking words.

The fifth senior sister asked if the senior sister allowed the younger junior sister to sacrifice her eyes to save the dog man for the sake of Yunmeng Yuanjun's position.

This sentence is vaguely related to the rules of the Nujun Palace. The first successor to Yuanjun, the master of Yunmeng Jianze, is Yue Zizi, followed by the chief eldest queen of the Nujun Palace.

In those days, Zhao Qingxiu felt very guilty. Her personal affairs caused her senior sisters, who had always been harmonious and consistent with others, to quarrel.

However, later, it seemed that the second senior sister came forward and went to talk to several other senior sisters who were angry and dissatisfied. I don't know what they said. Among them, the fifth senior sister, without saying anything, went to the water prison that day. I heard that she was looking for

I didn’t know what they talked about, and left in silence in the evening...Anyway, the quarrels in the store calmed down after that day.

Moreover, Zhao Qingxiu remembered that on the day she lost her sight, the senior sister told her that it was actually good to be blind, at least she would not look for him again.

Who would have thought...to meet now.

After rescuing Tanlang at Longcheng Donglin Temple, Zhao Qingxiu fulfilled her promise and followed her senior sisters back to Jianze, and never paid attention to Tanlang's news again.

She and her senior sisters only knew that his name was Ouyang Rong, and he was the official of Longcheng County.

The main reason is that in the eyes of the senior sister and the others, these are ordinary people and not worth mentioning. All the efforts of the Queen's Palace are focused on the missing [Craftsman], as well as the mysterious sword holder who cut off the beard...

Zhao Qingxiu took a deep breath.

After regaining consciousness, he dipped his index finger in water and continued writing on the table.

However, as soon as the first word was written, the girl with her eyes closed immediately brushed it away with her palm. It was the word "tan" written by Tan Lang, and she rewrote it...

Ouyang Rong pretended not to see it.

His eyes fell on her right hand, which was missing her little finger.

I heard from my aunt that this was an accidental injury that Xiu Niang suffered when she was a child. She already had it when she came to his house to be a child bride.

Zhao Qingxiu didn't know Ouyang Rong's distracted gaze.

Zhao Qingxiu: Why did you come to Xunyang City?

Ouyang Rong smiled: "I was promoted to an official position at the end of last year. I have been ups and downs in the past year. I am now the Sima of Jiangzhou."

Zhao Qingxiu tilted her head. During the day, she did hear those people calling him Sima, Bachelor and so on.

She counted again: Well, someone is bullying you.

Bullying? Does Wang Lengran and Lin Cheng’s workplace violence count? If it does, then it does exist, but everyone has gone, so that’s fine, we won’t pursue it.

Ouyang Rong narrowed his eyes and spoke warmly:

"No, my colleagues in Jiangzhou are very kind and approachable, and Sima is a sinecure. Look, I'm quite free...except tonight."

Zhao Qingxiu nodded confusedly and said "Ah" lightly. She didn't know who Jiangzhou Sima was.

"As for you, you haven't said yet why your family doesn't want you anymore. They send you here and there and leave you in Chengtian Temple."

Zhao Qingxiu lowered her head and wrote: I don't blame them, it was me who came.

Ouyang Rong raised his hand and touched the ice-white jade hairpin on his head. His tone seemed to be indifferent:

"I understand, don't you want to cause trouble to the family? That's it. Indeed, you are mute, invisible, and a girl. Ordinary families really don't want to raise you."

Zhao Qingxiu couldn't help but pause after hearing what he seemed to be saying.

She also wrote: Why is that young master so nice to me?

As soon as Zhao Qingxiu wrote these words, she regretted it and stretched out her little hand to wipe the table.

But it was too late. She found that Tanlang across the table seemed to be smiling at her and said: "Because you look like an old friend of mine."

"Ah?" Zhao Qingxiu opened her mouth with a puzzled face.

Ouyang Rong kept his smile and said:

"I'm not talking about the old friends I met at Beitian Sanatorium of Donglin Temple. Well, this can indeed be regarded as a fate, half an old friend. But the old friends I'm talking about refer to people from my former hometown.

"I don't know how to explain it to you. Well, my aunt mentioned to me that the old friend was my childhood playmate. It seems that she is missing the little finger on her right hand and is still mute. And she is also called Xiu Niang. Well, this nickname, in

Girls from poor rural families always have a lot of them...

"But, girl, you do look a lot like her. Are you... from Luling Nanlong?"

Zhao Qingxiu's body trembled slightly.

She didn't answer, lowered her head, and crossed a thin finger across the table: So, Master, do you still remember the appearance of this old friend?

Ouyang Rong lowered his eyes: "I was sick a lot when I was young, so I don't have much memory...and there seems to be some taboos, and my aunt didn't say much."

Zhao Qingxiu listened carefully and breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, Ouyang Rong, who seemed to be resting, suddenly stood up and covered her dim eyes with azure ribbon again.

He grabbed Zhao Qingxiu's slender wrist and said in his own way:

"Let's take you somewhere."

"Ah?" The slender mute girl with dusty eyes followed stupidly.
