It is easy to find that the building next to the building was built temporarily after the tile house was repaired. People sit on it and just straighten their waists to reach the beams and roofs of the house.
There was no window, and even in broad daylight, it was very dim. Fortunately, there was a small skylight between the overlapping tiles. Zhu Gaoxu's eyes adapted for a while before he could see the scene above the building.
This place is not only short, but also very small.
A layer of straw against the wall and a narrow straw mat on it, almost occupying all the space.
The pillows and a grey coarse bedding were neatly placed on the straw mat.
In addition, there was only a rough wooden table placed at the end of the bed, with a few folded clothes on it and a piece of cloth covered it.
Zhu Gaoxu only took a few glances and immediately realized that although the upper floor was small and narrow, it was very clean and tidy.
He held his breath and listened to the movement below, but didn't hear anything unusual. After a long time, the searched people might have left this street.
Zhu Gaoxu was about to wait for a while, so he went downstairs to take a look, but at this time he heard the sound of talking coming from below.
A woman with a very thick voice said: Have you brought bedding in the morning?You have been sleeping upstairs these two nights. The streets are not quiet for a while, so Master asked us to stay at the shop for a few days.
yes.Xiao Ni said in his voice.
The woman's voice said again: It's better you are here, so you won't be beaten.
Now Zhu Gaoxu didn't dare to go downstairs without permission. He felt uncomfortable sitting in a bent position. He simply lay down on the straw mat, and his feet could only stretch out from under the wooden table to lie straight.
He thought that whenever he had the chance, Xiao Ni would call him.
Unexpectedly, the light became darker and darker, and it was getting darker, but Xiao Ni still didn't call him.From time to time, the two of them were talking to each other downstairs.
Zhu Gaoxu thought, Zheng He and others probably had taken Du Qianrui out of the city and were waiting for him at the inn outside Jiangdong Gate. They must be very worried now.
But it seems that he will definitely not be able to leave the city gate today.
He could only stay in this narrow place, not daring to move, and even turned over, feeling very upset.
At this time, he was hungry and didn't have time to eat at noon and had no time to eat for dinner... He couldn't help but remember that he ordered a large table of good dishes at noon, but didn't taste a single chopstick!
After tossing for a whole day, he was now swallowing hungry.
It was already evening when the candlelight at the entrance of the floor slab shone. I don’t know how long it took, but I heard the woman’s voice saying: What are you going to do if you bring a basin?
Xiao Ni said in his voice: It’s so good that it’s so good, wipe the mat with water.
The woman said in her voice: I will extinguish the candles in a while, and the master will say it after lit it too much.
Um.Xiao Ni responded.
Then there was a few loose sounds of stairs. First, a wooden basin was handed over and placed on the wooden board, and then a thick porcelain cup was handed over, and a person soon appeared at the entrance.
The candlelight was dim, and Zhu Gaoxu stayed in the dark for a long time, and had adapted to the light, and immediately saw that it was Xiao Ni.
Xiao Ni's eyes were big and bright. She looked into the darkness and climbed up silently.
Zhu Gaoxu carefully moved to the wall, but the place was too narrow.The mat was originally very cramped, and he was tall and tall, so he couldn't even make a big seat even if he lay on his side.
After Xiao Ni came up, she had almost no place to sit. She didn't dare to stay on the ladder, so she forced herself over.She sat on the mat, her soft hips pressed against Zhu Gaoxu's abdomen, very squeezed.
Through the wooden board below, the candlelight shines through the entrance.Zhu Gaoxu could only see her general appearance, and could not see her face clearly, but it was not very good.
The temporary wooden boards on this floor are not thick, and the sounds upstairs and downstairs can be heard clearly. The two of them dare not say a word, and they are speechless.
At this moment, Xiao Ni reached into his arms, took out something, and handed it over.
Zhu Gaoxu couldn't see clearly, so he grabbed her hand first when he went to pick her up, and her body immediately trembled slightly... Xiao Ni was still young and had a strong reaction.
Zhu Gaoxu really didn't want to be careless about her, just because the light was too dark.
When he received the thing, he realized it was a steamed bun...and half of it!
Zhu Gaoxu could soon think of some situations: this little nun has the lowest status among the nuns of Jiming Temple, almost nothing, and this half of the steamed bun must have been saved from her own supper.
Xiao Ni handed over the thick porcelain cup again, and Zhu Gaoxu also touched her hand first before he could hold the cup firmly, which contained water.
Zhu Gaoxu held the cup in one hand and half a steamed bun in the other. He felt that the steamed bun was a little warm. He had just taken it out of her arms and it must have been her body temperature.
He didn't eat two meals and was indeed very hungry, so he took a bite of the steamed bun and chewed it gently in his mouth.
All the steamed buns I have eaten in my two lifetimes are not as delicious as the half steamed bun in my hand!
Zhu Gaoxu suddenly felt a warm feeling, which slowly flowed through his heart... He wanted to thank him, but he couldn't say it out, so he could only eat silently.
It was just the cat she returned, but it was just a chance encounter in Jilong Mountain for a few days, in the vast crowd... But Xiao Ni risked the huge danger of not having any reputation and saved her life!
If Zhu Gaoxu is discovered, he will not talk about his troubles; the innocent little nun will also be implicated, and I am afraid he will have to pay the price of his life!
Men and women are very defensive, and she is still a monk. The worldly morality alone can make her unable to escape the disaster!
But she did not blame Zhu Gaoxu, and she was still thinking that he had not eaten, so she deducted half of the food from his only food ration and hid it.She had almost nothing, but she kept half of what she had.
At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu felt that his worldview had changed a little.
He suddenly realized that everyone in the world can't deny everyone just because they have suffered some unfair treatment from the world.
Xiao Ni's selfless help made Zhu Gaoxu very warm and grateful.
Zhu Gaoxu carefully ate half of the steamed bun, without wasting a little, and then drank half a glass of water.Xiao Ni reached over, took the cup and placed it on the bench where she put it.
At this moment, the light suddenly darkened.Even the faint light just now disappeared, and the person below blew out the candle.
Little Ni lay down silently, and the two of them were still speechless.
Zhu Gaoxu immediately smelled a very faint fragrance. It seemed that there was no smell when he smelled it carefully, but the smell of existence and non-existence really made him feel relaxed and happy.
She exhaled like orchids, and the warm breath of her breath made Zhu Gaoxu feel... The mat was too narrow, and she had almost no place to lie down. Her arms and hands were pressed tightly against Zhu Gaoxu's chest, so that the two of them could not be stuck together.
After a while, she might have felt like she was hugging each other and her face was very close, so she turned over.
She couldn't sleep on the other end, and there was a wooden table on the other end of the mat, and her feet could reach out from below, but her head could not.
As soon as she turned over, her hand was removed, Zhu Gaoxu immediately pressed behind her body.The place was only so narrow, and he couldn't help but stick himself to the wall.
There was no window, and even in broad daylight, it was very dim. Fortunately, there was a small skylight between the overlapping tiles. Zhu Gaoxu's eyes adapted for a while before he could see the scene above the building.
