That day, Kong Wenjie did her a favor and gave her a rocking chair. Ah Chou felt bad and kept thinking about when to thank him. Now it was Mid-Autumn Festival, so she gave him a jar of wine. It wasn't too eye-catching.
The prefectural government office was easy to find. It was just behind the market. Ah Chou had seen it from a distance, but Kong Wenjie was not there today.
"Guard Kong isn't here?" Ah Chou looked at the guard at the prefect's door with a disappointed look on his face. "When will he be back?"
"I don't know about that. How can we dare to ask about Guard Kong's schedule?" The guard looked at Ah Chou, wondering what kind of relationship this plain-looking and shabby-dressed girl has with Guard Kong from the capital. How dare the girl call Guard Kong by his name? The little guard at the gate of the yamen is so smart, he has always been a man with high eyes. If Ah Chou hadn't called out Kong Wenjie's name, the guard would have kicked Ah Chou out long ago.
"Then can you give this jar of wine to Guard Kong?" Ah Chou took out the jar of Shao Daozi from the bamboo basket and handed it to the guard. "I have something else to do. I really don't have time to wait for him here."
"Okay," the guard took the jar of wine. He looked at Ah Chou with interest, "Miss, do you have anything else you want me to tell Guard Kong?"
"No more, no more. Just give the wine to him." Achou shook his head hurriedly, then turned and left.
After delivering the wine, Achou went to buy a fresh big carp. The fisherman killed it right in front of Achou, and it looked very fresh. Achou did not dare to delay any longer and trotted out of the market. When passing by Jixian Bookstore, he gave the mooncakes to Grandma Chen and then hurried up the mountain, for fear that the fish would not be fresh.
When Achou returned home, he was already sweating all over.
"I'm back!" Ah Chou wiped the sweat off her face and shouted inside. She had developed a habit of reporting home every time. However, this time Zhong Mingwei did not respond as usual. Ah Chou felt it was strange, so she put the fish in a wooden basin and soaked it in water, then carried the mooncake into the room.
"Huh? Where's the person?" After entering the bedroom, Ah Chou was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth when he saw the empty kang.
After the kang was dried, Zhong Mingwei moved to live on it. Zhong Mingwei felt it was troublesome and didn't want to move, but Achou said that the kang was next to the window and could get sunshine, so he forced Zhong Mingwei to move there. However, Zhong Mingwei was not in the room at this time, and Achou was so scared that his soul left his body.
Where did Zhong Mingwei go?
With his legs and feet like that, he needs to support himself to go to the yard. Where else can he go?
Was he captured by someone?
Is it that old Jiang? Or is there someone else coming quietly to the capital?
…
Ah Chou's heart stopped beating for a moment. She turned around and walked out the door in a hurry: "Zhong Mingwei! Zhong Mingwei! Zhong Mingwei, where are you?! Zhong Mingwei, please don't scare me!"
Ah Chou was so anxious that he almost cried. There was no one in the yard or in the kitchen. Where could Zhong Mingwei go? !
Ah Chou remembered that she was about to go outside to look for it, but as soon as her hand touched the door bolt, she suddenly stopped. She was so busy wiping her tears that she ran into the house.
When she came back, the door was still locked, so Zhong Mingwei must still be in the room!
Achou rushed into the main hall like a gust of wind, and ran into the bedroom, searching everywhere, even under the bed, but still no one was there. Achou slumped on the ground, gasping for breath for a long time, and suddenly stood up holding the edge of the bed, then went straight into her bedroom. As she walked, she prayed silently in her heart, Zhong Mingwei, please be in the room, okay!
However, a completely different voice came from the bottom of her heart: Zhong Mingwei, please, don't go to my room, please!
"I know!"
With the sound of the door opening, Ah Chou froze at the door, staring motionlessly at the bag of mooncakes in his hand that fell to the ground with a "pop".
