By the time Tang Hao and Yu Ji returned to Mei Family Village, it was already night time.
Under Tang Hao's strong request, Yu Ji's clothes had changed a lot. The original Seqin cloth robe had turned into a black cotton robe. Although a lot of her body was still exposed, she had added other clothes inside, and she also wore shoes on her feet. Other than her face and hands, the rest of her body was completely covered, giving off a tragic look.
However, in reality, when Yu Ji walked in front of others alone, she was basically dressed in the same way. However, in order not to attract attention, she tried her best to dress herself in a simple direction, and even her face was blurred through her own abilities … In other words, it was to put a mosaic on herself, so that outsiders would think that she was ordinary.
However, Tang Hao obviously didn't want her to become an ordinary woman, so he didn't let her do that. Furthermore, he tried his best to dress up in a good-looking direction, and in the end, he became like this. Although he was tightly wrapped up, he still had a bit of elegance, a bit of dignity, and a bit of elegance. He did not hide his own charm, but also met the requirements of this era for women, just like a noble lady who had walked out of a palace courtyard.
Due to the recent vampire incident being rather serious, Mei Family Village had also sent out guards to guard the village 24 hours a day. When Tang Hao entered the village, a guard immediately went to inform Mei Shan. Then, he hurriedly ran over and bowed, "My lord."
"No need to be so polite." Tang Hao waved his hand, "Did anything happen in the village while I was away?"
"Reporting to my lord, everything is fine." Mei Shan raised his back and pointed at the talisman paper stuck on the pillar at the entrance of the village, and said with a smile, "Sir, after sticking these talisman paper at the entrance of the village, the villagers all said that they could even sleep soundly at night, and there were no vampires coming out to harass them. This is all thanks to you."
Hmm, flattery, I understand.
Tang Hao smiled. Although his talisman had the effect of warning and suppression, and could restrain vampires to a certain extent, it was nonsense to say that it made people sleep more soundly. He knew that Mei Shan was flattering him, but he did not expose him.
"My lord, why didn't I see Zhao Dan coming back with you?" Mei Shan asked.
"He's a vampire."
"Vampires?" Mei Shan's expression changed. "Sir, this …"
Tang Hao said, "It has been confirmed that Zhao Dan is a vampire, and he even tried to attack me. Although he has been beheaded, I suspect that he has other accomplices. Don't spread this matter, just pretend that you don't know about it."
"… Yes." Mei Shan nodded respectfully. Tang Hao was a doctor and a trusted aide of the Emperor. Mei Shan did not even have the qualifications to look up to such a person. Of course, whatever Tang Hao said was the truth, and he would not think of refuting it.
"Since that's the case, it's already late. I've already arranged a courtyard for you to rest in. Sir, you can make do with it for the night. By the way, who is this?"
Mei Shan looked at Yu Ji with doubt in his eyes.
He obviously did not expect that after Tang Hao went out for a day and a night to investigate the vampires, he would come back with such a beautiful girl … Why did he feel like he had seen her before?
Tang Hao knew that Yu Ji had purposely dressed herself very simply, like a village girl. Now that Yu Ji had revealed her original appearance and had the temperament of a noble lady, an ordinary person like Mei Shan would naturally not associate the two of them together. He smiled and said, "This is my assistant. You don't have to worry too much. Bring us to rest."
"Yes, Sir, please."
Very quickly, Mei Shan brought the two of them to a small courtyard. Although it was not big, it was clean and tidy. There was even a plum tree planted in the courtyard. It was March, the season for the plum tree to bloom, and there was a faint fragrance.
Mei Shan introduced, "This is the courtyard where I used to study. Although I didn't live there anymore, it would be a pity to tear it down, so I kept it. Previously, I had my wife take good care of it. If Sir doesn't mind, you can stay here. It's just that … there's only one bedroom, which is a bit troublesome. Why don't I rearrange it …"
One bedroom? Isn't that better?
"Thank you for your trouble, Pavilion Leader Mei." Tang Hao's face suddenly turned serious, and he said seriously, "I'm in charge of the government … I've been greatly favored by the emperor. I'm here to investigate the vampires because His Majesty trusts me and thinks highly of me. I'm here to work, not to enjoy life. It's just a simple residence. Everything will be simple. Moreover, His Majesty also warned me not to waste manpower and money. This courtyard is good, very good."
"Your Majesty is considerate. This is the blessing of the people. Your self-discipline and frugality is also an example for me." Mei Shan was immediately moved to tears. He bowed and said, "Then I won't disturb you any longer. Have a good rest with Madam, I will take my leave."
After saying that, Mei Shan left and closed the door of the small courtyard.
"What Madam, this bastard!" When Mei Shan was here, Yu Ji couldn't act up. After all, she still had to give Tang Hao face. But now that the courtyard door was closed, she immediately glared at him, feeling rather unhappy.
Tang Hao smiled and said, "After all, there is only one bedroom in this courtyard. You and I are a man and a woman living together. Even if we are not Madam, there is not much difference. It is reasonable for him to think so."
Yu Ji glared at Tang Hao, "I am not your Madam, humph!"
Then, she held her head high and walked into the house first.
The house was indeed not big, about the same size as Tang Hao's single apartment. The facilities were extremely simple. Other than a bed, a table, and a few chairs, there was almost nothing else. But Tang Hao could understand this. After all, this was ancient times, and it was a village.
In fact, for Mei Shan to be able to provide such a courtyard, he was already considered wealthy in this era.
Otherwise, he could compare himself to Liu Bang, who was also a Pavilion Leader. Before he made his fortune, he was already in his thirties, but he could only go around eating and drinking like a hooligan.
Especially in the history of the Moon, Liu Bang did not become the Emperor because of his own hard work. Instead, it was Xiang Yu who took the initiative to play the role of a cruel villain, forcing all the talents and resources to Liu Bang … In comparison, Liu Bang was simply the younger brother of the younger brother.
"Ahhhhhh!"
Yu Ji walked around the room, but there didn't seem to be anything that interested her. She sighed and walked out again. She sat on the stone steps in front of the courtyard door and looked at the plum tree not far away with a look of interest.
"Is it boring?"
Tang Hao came behind Yu Ji. Actually, he could understand her feelings. After all, in ancient times, there was no internet or computer. As a modern person, it was simply boring to the point of bursting.
Yu Ji held her chin and stared at the blooming flowers on the plum tree. She muttered to herself, "Life that doesn't know how to speak, they always maintain the same posture and eulogize the spring of life that blooms in that instant. That kind of life is really cute, but I can only be a bystander and watch from the side."
She suddenly became artistic. No wonder she disguised herself as a literary girl when she went by the name of Wasabi.
"But you can still dance."
"Dance?" Yu Ji turned her head to look at him and opened her mouth wide, "Huh? Do you want me to dance for you? I don't have the leisure to please you! "
"How can you say that you're trying to please me …" Tang Hao sat down beside her, "Dancing is also a way of entertainment, just like your sword dance. If it's just for fighting, there's no need to use such a beautiful way of fighting, right? Isn't it because you like it too?"
"A beautiful way of fighting … Do you think that's nice?
"I don't think there's anyone who doesn't think it's pretty."
Yu Ji gave him a deep look, "Ahhh, I know, I know!"
With an impatient tone, Yu Ji stood up and stretched, "This body hasn't moved for a long time, and the muscles have become stiff. Then I'll just dance, but I'm not dancing for you to see, I just want to do it myself!"
It was simply a textbook tsundere.
However, in this era, there didn't seem to be any words for tsundere.
Yu Ji walked to the side of the plum tree and turned around. Her clothes immediately changed into the simple style from before.
"Wait a minute."
Tang Hao suddenly called out to her.
"What!" You don't want me to dance again? "Yu Ji stared at him.
"No, I want to accompany you." Tang Hao smiled as he took out his phone, searched for it in his song list, and then clicked on it. Immediately, a melodious tune and singing came out of his phone.
[The winding corridors of the song, penetrating the tightly shut heart]
[My own joy and sorrow echo in my ears]
[Dancing steps on the candlelight, all forgotten about time and space]
[Tonight, at this time, chaos is like a flower fluttering in the wind]
"What kind of song is this?" Hearing the prelude of the song, Yu Ji was stunned. She had never heard such a tune before, and it was a very fresh feeling. However, those few lyrics made her unable to help but connect it with herself.
"The Chinese version of Elysium, I feel that this song suits you very well. Hurry up and dance, it's already started." Tang Hao reminded.
Yu Ji's eyes flickered. Although she wanted to ask again, as the tune gradually grew higher, her body involuntarily started to move. Following the melodious singing, she stepped on the steps and gently danced.
At the same time, the singing continued to drift into her ears …
[Those flowers that bloom all over the mountains and plains]
[Beauty will eventually scatter and die]
[A short-lived, short-lived light]
[On this night, it's like the end of the world, weaving love.]
Ahhh, would I be like those flowers, one day I will wither away? Although life was not short, it was just a flash in the pan to obtain such a comfortable time like this. In such a world that did not belong to him, what was there to love?
[Why not slowly savor the joy of it?]
[I can't tell if it's an illusion or a dream]
[The world that doesn't distinguish between reality and illusion, is it brighter?]
[The direction I want to confirm, the palace I yearn for]
However, at least tonight, he did have a joy that he had never had before. Was this a dream or reality? He clearly hated humans, but he danced in front of them. There was nothing more illusory than this, but it was even more beautiful than the reality of the past. And where was the palace that could allow him to live in peace?
[Ye Shengge, lingering around the beam, pierced heart]
[There's no need to care about anyone's gaze]
He actually agreed to such a request and danced freely in front of others. Had his sealed heart melted? It shouldn't be like this, it shouldn't be like this, but …
[Dance steps on the candlelight, forget about time and space]
[Tonight, give up everything and bloom together with the flowers]
Ahhh, indeed, there was no need to care about other people's gazes. Whether it was sadness or joy, in this long time, it was just a fleeting cloud. He might as well forget all of it. Under the company of the candlelight, at least tonight, he would bloom together with the plum blossoms, dance to his heart's content, and indulge his feelings.
At least, there were people who appreciated it …
Listening to the song and dancing, Yu Ji felt that this song completely described her state of mind. Gradually, she completely immersed herself in it, completely abandoning all distracting thoughts, releasing all the emotions in her heart, and dancing to her heart's content.
There had never been a moment when she felt so relaxed and free.
If life could stop at this moment, how good would that be?
Unknowingly, a smile finally appeared on her face.
Just like the blooming flower.
