Chapter 81 第81章 Waiting 等待 Before dawn, Qinhuai Riverbank, time the dawn was just begining to break, Nie Yunzhu from the bed, washes, soon after makes pot tea, goes out of the small building front door. 凌晨,秦淮河畔,天还未亮的时候,聂云竹从床上起来,洗漱完毕,随后泡一壶茶,走出小楼的前门。 The gloomy dim light of night is covering the inner and outer city walls and mountain range in distant place, making one not see clearly these distant place actually some anything things. She sits on the stair before building is thinking the matter, actually for several days, thought many were a matter, that familiar sound of footsteps, already had 20 days not to make a sound here. 阴沉的夜色笼罩着远处的城郭与山峦,让人看不清楚那些远处到底有些什么东西。她坐在楼前的台阶上想着事情,其实这些天,想的多是一件事,那原本熟悉的脚步声,已经有二十天未曾在这里响起来了。 Recalls, such already continued in the morning for nearly one year, from knows him because of that chicken at first, to saw him afterward every day every morning running in the past, said that the words, chatted ascend the sky. Daily early morning, to her is period of most special time. Except for raining hard, that form every day daily from here, even the snowy day without exception, after she almost thinks, this way. 回想起来,这样的早晨已经持续了近一年,从最初因那只鸡而认识他,到后来看见他每天每天清晨的跑过去,说上了话,聊上了天。每一天的清晨,对她来说都是一段最为特殊的时间。除了下起大雨,那身影每天每天的都从这里过,即便下雪天都无例外,她几乎以为以后都会这样子下去了。 Be only these 20 days, told her originally two people relation, actually also only then daily this simple met. He has not come, she is not then able to look for the past, that person...... after all is that Su Family Young Lady husband. 只有这二十天的时间,告诉她原来两人的联系,其实也只有每天这简简单单的一晤。他没有过来,她便也无法找过去,那人……毕竟是那苏家小姐的夫婿。 This idea made some of her faint worries. 这想法令她微微有些烦恼。 Initial several days, only think that his some what urgent matters, or go far, lost early morning exercise time. However with the date and time past, in the heart unavoidably was anxious, was worried that he was left any matter or the accident/surprise. In several days of time once went to nearby that Su Residence to walk unintentionally, walks around that big courtyard wall, has a look to have what clue, however cannot look. in the heart is anxious, thought that oneself sneaky, is really oneself does not understand that oneself is doing anything. 最初的几天,只以为他有些什么急事,或是出了远门,或是耽误了清晨的锻炼时间。然而随着时日的过去,心中就不免焦虑起来,担心他是出了什么事情或是意外。几天时间里曾经有意无意地去那苏府附近走走,绕着那大院墙走一圈,看看有没有什么端倪,然而也看不出来。心中焦虑,又觉得自己偷偷摸摸的,真是自己都不明白自己在干些什么。 such was worried most serious time several official investigator looked for her probably several days ago. She was in a daze in the backyard of Zhu's main office at that time, holds the concern, in the shop the young male servant comes to tell her to have official investigator looks, is really all of a sudden ignorant fell, ignorant runs almost to be stumbled by the threshold, then listens to the question that official investigator asked that gawked long time to respond. 这样的担心到最为严重的时候大概是数天前几名捕快来找她。她当时在竹记总店的后院里发呆,揣着心事,店里小厮进来告诉她有捕快找的时候,真是一下子就懵掉了,浑浑噩噩的跑出去差点被门槛绊一下,然后听那捕快问的问题,愣了半晌才反应过来。 Gu Yanzhen Gu Yanzhen is Gu Yanzhen...... 顾燕桢顾燕桢又是顾燕桢…… Manages him dead. 管他去死呢。 indeed that —— that two official investigator asked situation between she and Gu Yanzhen. ——那两名捕快问的正是她与顾燕桢之间的情况。 in her heart almost must such complain, but simple said absent-mindedly next beforehand relations, final two official investigator just now said Gu Yanzhen after the city was massacred the matter, making her also stunned the long time. 她心中几乎就要那样埋怨出来,但还是心不在焉地简单说了一下之前的关系,最后两名捕快方才说出顾燕桢离城之后被杀掉了的事情,让她也错愕了半晌。 If in usually, her may for this reason and moved a while, but at this time originally on some concerns, stunned after long time, but actually transferred. The way of the world is not actually peaceful, Liheng will not meet anything...... 假如是在平时,她或许会为此而伤感一会儿,不过此时原就有些心事,错愕半晌之后倒又转了回去。世道其实不算太平,立恒不会也遇上什么事情吧…… Until soon after she goes to nearby that Su Residence, sees Liheng wife Su Tan'er and maidservant comes out to board the carriage, although look some but anxiously looks like is also only processes the business, this gradually is relieved. However thinks to 2nd day, Liheng has not had an accident, when front the day chatted with him he had not said that must go far, now so long does not come, possibly was...... will not come? 直到不久之后她去那苏府附近,望见立恒的妻子苏檀儿与丫鬟出来上马车,虽然神色有些急但看来也只是去处理生意,这才渐渐安下心来。不过到得第二天又想,立恒没有出事,前面一天与他闲聊时他也不曾说过要出远门,如今这么久不来,可能是……不会来了？ Also thought that this grade of idea is really the foolishness. 又觉得这等想法真是傻气。 In the past few days many are the gloomy low complex train of thought that but every morning, will make that pot tea, sits in the stair superior, has waited till the dawn. At this time she will adjust some mood. 近些天来多是阴沉低落复杂的思绪,不过每天早上,还是会将那壶茶泡好,坐在台阶上等着,一直等到天亮。这时候她会将情绪调整一些。 Snort, if you did not come, I am then waiting every day here! 哼,你若一直不来,我便每日都在这里等着了！ She has the smart-alecky mood so to think as far as possible, sat drinks tea there, the soon after morning breeze was caressing lightly, came that footsteps vocal cord...... 她尽量带着俏皮的情绪如此想着,坐在那儿喝了一口茶,随后晨风轻抚着,将那脚步声带过来了…… 20 days later, Ning Yi again the custom that restores every morning to jog, although after getting out of bed, is given by Little Chan in the room in his hand changes the medicine by Little Chan is shed tears to complain talks incessantly, yesterday when just untied the bandage sees the left hand of that burn makes Little Chan cry, but insisted necessary after all that exercises has. 时隔20天,宁毅再度恢复了每日清晨跑步的习惯,虽然起床后在房间里由小婵给他手上换药时被小婵噙着眼泪埋怨唠叨,昨天刚解开绷带看见那烧伤的左手时更是让小婵哭了一场,但坚持锻炼的必要性毕竟还是有的。 The wound actually basic already recovery of left hand. This recovery refers to being able to make some elementary actions, is no longer painful, in the life issue already is not big, but after disassembling the bandage, somewhat is rather ugly, now the entire only hand is the red. Few days ago in front of Lu Hongti boasted that oneself is what Blood Slaughterer, could not think of language to become prophecy/omen, regardless in fact in the semblance gave to agree with, actually really made one not know whether to laugh or cry. 左手的伤其实基本已经康复了。这个康复指的是可以做一些基本动作,不再痛,生活上问题也已经不大,只是拆开绷带之后未免有些难看,如今整只手都是红色的。前些日子在陆红提面前吹嘘自己是什么血手人屠,想不到一语成谶,无论实际上还是外表上都给契合到,倒也真是令人哭笑不得。 To be restored to health completely, the entire process needs six months, is because Lu Hongti medicine indeed is good. He actually made the preparation that the left hand discarded, in that situation of same day did not have the choice, although was somewhat a pity, but can live, had nothing womanishly fussily. Now already was gains. 想要完全康复,整个过程需要半年的时间,也是因为陆红提的伤药的确好。他原本其实是做了左手废掉的准备的,当日的那种情况下没有更多选择的余地,尽管有些可惜,但能够活下来,也没什么可婆婆妈妈的。如今已经是赚到了。 Some ingredients of medicine are very precious, but Su Family is rich, this issue is not big, yesterday evening probably confessed with the Su Family father-in-law Sir as well as Old gentleman Su „friend has the matter helps however back of the hand / subsequent party arm burn” the process, this/should superficial was also superficial, this morning Little Chan does not want to make him come out, is mainly afraid the exercise to cause the arm to perspire, the after all burn and so on, mainly is also the injuries to these skin glands. However Ning Yi has that inner force merit law that Lu Hongti taught now, naturally does not need to stop, but restrains in the amount of exercise. 伤药的有些成分很贵重,但苏家有钱,这个问题也不大,昨天晚上大概跟苏家的岳父大人以及苏老太公交代了一下“朋友有事去帮忙然后手臂烧伤”的过程,该轻描淡写的也就轻描淡写了,今天早上小婵之所以不想让他出来,主要还是害怕锻炼会导致手臂出汗,毕竟烧伤之类的,主要也就是对这些皮肤腺体的伤害。不过宁毅如今有了陆红提教的那内功功法,自然也没必要停下来,只是在运动量上克制一下。 Today's jogging, to Nie Yunzhu before small building then prepared to stop. 今天的跑步,也就是到聂云竹拿小楼前便准备停住了。 „...... The past few days had/left a city, helping a friend work, afterward had/left slightly accidental/surprised, in the hand was burnt. However was easy to look for a famous doctor, the medicine was very mysterious, six months was also probably good.” Ning Yi drank tea, holds up to entangle the left hand of full bandage from the sky to demonstrate, „what kind of? Thought that like this very well looks?” he himself feels this modeling really very eye-catching. “……前些天出了一趟城,帮个朋友做点事情,后来出了点小意外,手上被烧伤了。不过好在找了个名医,伤药很神奇,大概半年的时间也就好了。”宁毅喝了一口茶,举起缠满绷带的左手在空中展示着,“怎么样？有没有觉得这样挺好看的？”他自己就觉得这个造型果然很拉风。 The Nie Yunzhu that side smiles, dangling view: „Painful?” 聂云竹那边浅浅地笑笑,垂下眼帘:“痛的吧？” „Uh , there is nothing to feel now, was very at that time painful on indeed.” Ning Yi smiled, „recently what kind of?” “呃,现在没什么感觉了,当时就的确很痛。”宁毅笑了笑,“最近怎么样？” „Um, fortunately, had interesting matter few days ago, some people take the wooden sign that oneself is carving to come to the shop......” “嗯,还好,前些日子发生了件很有趣的事情,有人拿着自己雕的木牌来店里……” Near early morning river bend, as if restored the past general scene, the trivial idle talks of some daily family activities. Saw Ning Yi, Nie Yunzhu also then to think that oneself feels relieved probably, but recalled that these date and time condition, some certain places were always empty. When to the dawn slightly reveal, Ning Yi also sets out to say goodbye, Nie Yunzhu in the heart is hesitating: „You......” 凌晨的河湾边,仿佛又恢复了往日一般的情景,一些家常的琐碎的闲话。看见了宁毅,聂云竹也便觉得自己像是放下了心来,只是回想起这些时日的状况,总有某些地方空空落落的。待到晨曦微露,宁毅也就起身道别,聂云竹心中犹豫着:“你……” „Um?” “嗯？” „In your hand was injured, every day must apply medicine, is not good to perspire. Considers for the body, these days...... then do not jog again the perspiration.” “你手上受伤了,每日都要上药,不好出汗的。为身体着想,这些日子……便不要再跑步出汗了吧。” She somewhat said this saying to come difficultly, Ning Yi nods: „Um, I understand, but all right, the simple exercise issue is not big, will not perspire. I resulted in inner force anything recently, the exercise, this movement intensity does not perspire momentarily, Haha, will perhaps turn into martial arts (social) circles great hero after a period of time.” 她有些艰难地才说出这话来,宁毅点了点头:“嗯,我明白,不过没事的,简单的锻炼问题还是不大,不会出汗的。我最近得了个内功什么的,随时锻炼,这点运动强度不出汗,哈哈,说不定过段时间就会变成武林大侠了。” Ning Yi will also tell in the past her what martial arts (social) circles and so on hearsay, now mentions this is also open. Nie Yunzhu stands there looks that his back goes far away, drop of cool tears coast from the cheeks suddenly, fall hand before the body conduct the back. Her faint gawked staring, soon after somewhat scratched flurriedly, ran fiercely toward the front, but ran two steps, the embroidered shoes stopped, Ning Yi in the front has turned around. 宁毅以往也会跟她说说什么武林之类的传闻,如今说起这个也是开朗。聂云竹站在那儿看着他的背影远去,一滴凉凉的眼泪陡然自脸颊滑下,掉在身前的手背上。她微微愣了愣,随后有些慌乱地擦一下,猛地朝前方跑去,只是跑出两步,绣鞋又停了下来,宁毅在前方转过了身。 „, Right, the matter of liquor should already be quick, when the time comes I bring the design of each part, best the blacksmith who looks for several to keep secret and so on separated lane. Um, I will think tallying of means guarantee specification as far as possible, does the following workshop need to keep secret...... system liquor Master to relate?” “啊,对了,酒的事情应该已经快好了,到时候我把各个部件的设计拿过来,最好找几个能保密的铁匠之类的分开弄。嗯,我会尽量想办法保证规格的符合,接下来的作坊就需要保密了……制酒的师傅有联系到了吗？” Nie Yunzhu clutches the handkerchief in the chest front, after a while, just now makes an effort to nod dull: „Um, already related before.” 聂云竹将手绢揪在胸前,呆呆地过了一会儿,方才用力点头:“嗯,之前已经联系到了。” „Oh, that is good.” Ning Yi smiled, soon after waves, „first walked, for several days had started to attend class, over the two days said can be loaf, at noon perhaps went to that side Zhu's to sit, Heh, I fondly remembered the congee with preserved eggs and pork.” “喔,那就好。”宁毅笑了笑,随后挥挥手,“先走了,过几天才开始上课,这两天说可以偷偷懒,中午也许去竹记那边坐坐,呵,我怀念皮蛋瘦肉粥了。” Nie Yunzhu nods with a smile: „I and others you came.” 聂云竹笑着点了头:“我等你过来。” in the heart loses, removed gradually. 心中的一丝失落,渐渐的褪去了。 He can pass at noon...... 他中午会过去呢…… The mood is open, other things, may cast behind greatly. Vital with early morning of hope, she prepares to wait to the main office that side, at this time remembered the Gu Yanzhen death news that two official investigator transmit. Why that two official investigator must look for oneself, Nie Yunzhu in the heart is thinking, she regarding some Gu Yanzhen not necessarily many malice, Gu Yanzhen that person bright, he died, Nie Yunzhu thought that is somewhat a pity with moved, but on the other hand, even if died, as if still has the relations with oneself, makes her feel that some faint dislike, is anything relates no —— these two mood by no means to be contradictory obviously, mixes in together, after a while, on sighing, was gradually pale. 心情开朗起来,其余的事情,也大可抛诸脑后。充满活力与希望的清晨,她准备去往总店那边等着,这时候才又想起两名捕快传来的顾燕桢的死讯。那两名捕快为何要来找自己呢,聂云竹心中想着,她对于顾燕桢未必有多少恶感,顾燕桢那人还是有才华的,他死了,聂云竹觉得有些可惜和伤感,不过另一方面,即便是死了,似乎也跟自己扯上关系,就让她觉得微微有些厌恶,明明是什么关系都没有的——这两种心情并不矛盾,混合在一起,过得一会儿,也就叹了口气,逐渐淡去了。 After several days, outside the city the disaster victims are many gradually, one day in the morning Nie Yunzhu said to Ning Yi, had the person of understanding of go out the matter dead in the city for several days, this person was to leave, when County Magistrate, quite somewhat talent, having a bright future light, therefore told the Ning Yi recent current situation is not peaceful, multi- attention security. At that time the Ning Yi look was complex. 几日之后城外灾民渐多,有天早晨聂云竹跟宁毅说起来,有个认识的人这些天在城外出了事情死掉了,这人原本是想要动身去当县令的,颇有几分才华,前途远大光明,因此告诉宁毅最近时势不太平,多注意安全。当时宁毅神色复杂。 „Acquaintance?” “熟人？” „It is not ripe.” “不熟的。” „Oh.” Ning Yi shrugs, „the Heaven's jealousy person with outstanding ability, was too regrettable.” “哦。”宁毅耸耸肩,“天妒英才,太令人遗憾了。” This is something to be talked about later, temporarily no longer raises. 这是后话,暂不再提。 The time recalled in June 6 th that evening, from that night murder case passed about two days, that place of several official investigator near the desolate river bank near the barge that burnt down is investigating, the wind sound/rumor howled, sky also became gloomy, tonight will then have the thunderstorms to lower probably. 时间回溯到六月初六的那天傍晚,距离那天晚上的血案过去了将近两天的时间,几名捕快在荒僻的河岸边那处烧毁的船屋附近调查着,风声呼啸,天色也变得阴暗起来,今夜大概便会有雷雨降下。 „After this heavy rain, feared that was anything cannot investigate!” A official investigator sound resounded through the river bank in the wind, on the shoal of rivers that barge already is burnt at this time thoroughly, naturally , some the wreckage of collapsing, the person was burnt the burned black corpse to mix to be one of them, does not know how long at present already was washed away. “这场大雨之后,怕是什么都调查不出来了！”一名捕快的声音在风中响彻了河岸,河流的浅滩上那处船屋此时已经被烧得彻底,当然,也有一些垮塌的残骸,人被烧得焦黑的尸体混在其中,眼下也不知道已经被冲走了多久。 „If these really have that surnamed Gu County Magistrate corpse, this matter is what's the matter Ah?” “如果这其中真有那顾姓县令的尸体,这事情算是怎么回事啊？” „It is estimated that is that attended to Yang brothers of County Magistrate and here makes anything to trade, finally was tidied up by that assassin together.” “估计是那顾县令与这边的杨氏兄弟做什么交易,结果被那刺客一起收拾了呗。” official investigator altogether five, three ordinary official investigator, another two Deputy Police Chief, this is in the Jiangning mansion truly official Police Chief . Five people gathered round that wreckage to look for the period of time when the riverside, actually this morning discovery found some clues on already, can confirm that probably during a remnant corpse was Gu Yanzhen. Their this is estimates possibly to rain to catch up the second time, that 30 -year-old Police Chief steps onto the shore, is looking for other clues in the , before long, moreover that old stature tall thin Deputy Police Chief also with. 捕快一共有五名,三名普通捕快,另两名是正副捕头,这是江宁府中真正正式的捕头,。五人在河边围着那残骸找了一阵子,其实今早发现时就已经找出了一些线索,大概能确认当中的一具残尸便是顾燕桢。他们这是估着可能要下雨赶过来第二次,那三十来岁的捕头走上岸边,在附近寻找着其它线索,不一会儿,另外那名年纪稍大身材高瘦的副捕头也跟了过来。 „Chief Chen, looks after the household the deaths of two retinues, others said that is that female assassin behavior, at present he dies with this Yang Yi Yang Heng one here, settling a lawsuit, unexpectedly was good to tie.” “陈头,顾家两名仆从的死,其余人都说是那女刺客所为,眼下他与这杨翼杨横一家死在这里,结案,倒是好结了。” Slightly tall thin Deputy Police Chief surnamed Xu, is speaking at this time, that Police Chief is surnamed Chen, at this time smiled: „Sir Prefectural Magistrate is also such hope.” 略显高瘦的副捕头姓徐,此时如此说着话,那捕头则是姓陈,此时笑了笑:“知府大人也是这样希望的吧。” They can come today , because outside yesterday morning city a murder case. Two retinues of looking after the household were abducted and thrown the corpse, at that time appeared at the scene, the day of the indeed fifth day of the fifth lunar month assassinated Song Xian female assassin, at that time looked after the household several other retinues to look at that female assassin murder helplessly, after that has County Magistrate status Gu Yanzhen also to look does not see, the people thought that had an accident, the expanded range arrived here. 他们今天会过来,是因为昨天早上城外发生的一起血案。顾家的两名仆从被人掳走又扔回了尸体,当时出现在现场的,正是端午那天刺杀了宋宪的女刺客,当时顾家其余几名仆从是眼睁睁地看着那女刺客杀人的,此后有着县令身份的顾燕桢也找不见,众人才觉得是出事了,扩大范围到这里。 Lives in the evil person who this Yang Yi and Yang Heng brothers is becomes famous, lives remotely, moreover they, if died, Government basically does not manage, perhaps will only clap and cheer. However that Gu Yanzhen case also happen to happened at this time, something have to check, died in Jiangning boundary County Magistrate, must give the above confession. 住在这的杨翼与杨横兄弟本身就是出了名的恶徒,住得偏僻,而且他们如果死了,官府基本上也是不管的,或许只会拍手称快。不过那顾燕桢的案子也正好发生在这时候,有些事情就不得不查一下,在江宁地界一个县令死了,必须给上面一个交代。 Yang Yi and Yang Heng brothers usually made widely known domineeringly, but itself also is extremely vicious, Jiangning many people will not easily have annoyed them, annoys to be motionless they. At this time investigates, entire family death ray, wants to come also only then that female assassin common strong person can achieve, why as for Gu Yanzhen with his retinue here, its reason, will look that probably above must discredit him to lighten him, this indifferent. 杨翼与杨横兄弟素来张扬跋扈,但本身也极是凶狠,江宁没多少人会轻易惹他们,也惹不动他们。此时一调查,全家死光,想来也只有那女刺客一般的强人能够做到,至于顾燕桢与他的仆从为何会在这里,其理由,大概就看上面是要抹黑他还是要点亮他了,这个无所谓。 If this grade of matter said alone, County Magistrate died in the Jiangning boundary, the case can break, the Jiangning Prefectural Magistrate pressure will be very big. But that female assassin puts out a hand superior, by martial Luanjin, kills people now, already went out of town to run. already had the Song Xian case in any case, now one pushes toward above, and is a case, became the embellishment on the contrary. Noon time people analyze the case, Prefectural Magistrate have revealed and meaning of case, he does not want to withstand/top two disgusting cases directly here, might as well combine to make one, at present looks like, actually, Gu Yanzhen bought logically did the misdemeanor ominously, did on that female assassin, the result and Yang Yi Yang Heng died here, that female assassin character fierce and violent, even also killed the opposite party two retinues to give vent to indignation. 这等事情如果单独说起来,一个县令在江宁地界死了,案子能不能破,江宁知府的压力都会很大。但那女刺客伸手高强,以武乱禁,如今杀了人,也已经出城跑了。横竖已经有了宋宪的案子,如今往上面一推,并为一案,反倒成了点缀。中午的时候众人分析案情,知府就露出过并案的意思,他不想直接顶两个恶心案子在这里,不如并成一个,眼下看来,逻辑上其实还是准的,顾燕桢买了凶干些坏事,干到了那女刺客身上,结果与杨翼杨横一家死在这里,那女刺客性格凶悍,甚至还去杀了对方两名仆从泄愤。 „Settles a lawsuit probably like this.” “大概就是这样结案吧。” Police Chief Chen smiled, saying, two people is walking on the sandbank, that Deputy Police Chief looks at that at the same time possibly is near the first murder river bank blood, after the moment turns head, actually looked does not see the person's shadow of opposite party, he turn head entered to here bamboo forest, why saw Police Chief Chen not to know unexpectedly „sitting” at this time there. 陈捕头笑了笑,如此说着,两人在河滩上走走,那副捕头去一边看那可能是第一杀人现场的河岸边的血,片刻后回过头来,却找不见对方的人影了,他回头进到这边的竹林,才看见陈捕头此时不知为何竟然“坐”在那里。 He has not really sat, because the rear area does not have the chair, at this time such appearance calm man a horse stance showed the posture that sits in bamboo forest Riza, both hands places on the knee, just like the appearance that sits well organized. Is leaning there faint the face, looks the wreckage of that house to the distant place shoal, the look is surprised. Deputy Police Chief Xu is just about, he extended putting out a hand suddenly: „Do not come!” 他并没有真的坐,因为后方没有椅子,此时这样貌沉稳的男人在竹林里扎了个马步摆出坐的姿势,双手放在膝盖上,俨然是四平八稳坐着的样子。就在那儿微微地侧着脸,望向远处浅滩上那房屋的残骸,神色惊疑不定。徐副捕头正要走过去,他陡然伸了伸手:“别过来！” „What's wrong?” “怎么了？” The wind sound/rumor has stroked the sandbank, that Police Chief Chen looked there for a long time, muttered opens the mouth: „Which this is...... the good ruthless person......” 风声拂过河滩,那陈捕头在那儿看了好久,才喃喃地开了口:“这是……好狠的人哪……”
