At this time, the girl's eyes are a pair of living eyes.

It's the eyes that a girl should have, timid, with anticipation!

Her lips opened—closed. Open again—close again. And so on and forth. Chen Xu waited for her quietly.

The girl's lips finally parted, squeezing out a word.

"Thank you...... You. ”

Chen Xu smiled.

A genuine smile.

"You're welcome. I'm glad I was able to save you. The sense of accomplishment is very special, really. ”

A mist appeared in the girl's eyes. Then his mouth flattened and he cried.

But in the midst of that cry, slowly, began to be mixed with hateful curses.

She cursed her tragic fate, hated her past, and resented why Chen Xu didn't lend a hand earlier. Then he desperately aimed the spearhead of the curse at Chen Xu.

She scolded Chen Xulai like a shrew. You can't have come to save me sooner. It's that kind of complaint.

She was tearing at her hair desperately, clumps of hair being torn off by her. She was so crazy and hard that her scalp was oozing blood.

Chen Xu looked at her frantic sympathetically.

Her hatred is all vexatious, and she is simply looking for trouble. There was a resentment that the whole world was sorry for her. Chen Xu couldn't stand it anymore, Chen Xu leaned out and hugged her.

It is the way that adults comfort children, without a trace of distractions, only gentleness.

The moment she was embraced, the girl's body immediately became stiff, and then she felt the hug, not those hugs that wantonly violated her, and her frozen body relaxed slightly.

Chen Xu's hand gently patted her back, "It's okay!"

"It's all right. ”

Chen Xu kept repeating these two sentences, patting her back rhythmically. It's like soothing a disobedient cat.

The girl was silent, then began to cry, then cried, she curled her head on Chen Xu's chest, crying heartbreakingly, like a child who had finally found her parents.

The night is getting deeper.

The girl cried and cried, fell asleep, Chen Xu wanted to withdraw her arm, she immediately woke up, stared at her panicked eyes, and looked at Chen Xu's eyes in fear, so Chen Xu had to not move, the girl looked at it, and fell asleep again, and the look of falling asleep brought a touch of ...... Peace.

……

After a long, long sleep, the girl finally woke up, and the sun was already rising in the sky.

The girl didn't scream immediately after waking up, she just stayed in Chen Xu's arms in a daze for a while, and then slowly moved her head and whispered, "You, haven't slept all along?"

"Hmm. Chen Xu smiled.

"Why do you want to ...... Is that so good to me?" the girl's eyes turned red again.

Chen Xu hurriedly stopped and said loudly: "Stop." Don't cry anymore, I'm just a temporary interest in saving you, so don't thank me, I can't stand this kind of thing the most. ”

"Oh...... But, but ...... It's nothing, it's nothing......" The girl said timidly, as if she was afraid that Chen Xu would ignore her, and she became nervous again.

"Well, lie down well, cover yourself with the quilt, and I'll go and get you clothes. Chen Xu said, leaving her side. Step out the door.

He went to the maid's quarters, and did not go in, but only let go outside.

"Well, the woman inside, listen! I'll buy you clothes with money. Whoever has a surplus, sell me a set. ”

"Oh, it's Uncle Chen. ”

"Uncle Chen wants our clothes?"

"yes, I heard he picked up a girl earlier!"

In the noise, one by one the maids and maids ran out, all holding clothes in their hands. Chen Xu didn't have the slightest intention of choosing, grabbed a set casually, immediately threw out a silver ingot, turned around and left.

"Ouch, Uncle Chen, a set of old clothes is not worth so much. ”

"You're rewarded!"

Chen Xu said loudly, quickly left, and returned to the courtyard.

The girl was covered with a quilt, with only two eyes exposed. Chen Xu threw his clothes over and said, "The length is definitely not suitable, you will take it first." By the way, what's your name?"

"My surname is Yao, and Brother Yao recruits. ”

Chen Xu: "......"

Sure enough, girls in this era will hardly have any good names. It's not bad to call for a younger brother, and there is a more bizarre one in the yard, which is very pleasing to the eye, called Shou Pit!

But it doesn't matter what it's called, so he said: "My name is Chen Xu, you put on your clothes well, wait for you to get up, and we'll talk about the future." ”

After speaking, Chen Xu planned to avoid it, but the girl hurriedly spoke: "In the future?" His face was very nervous, probably afraid of being driven away.

Chen Xu looked at her nervous expression in his eyes. I decided to make this clear first, and I will talk about getting dressed later.

He asked, "Where is your home, and do you have any relatives or friends to turn to?"

The girl lowered her face and did not speak.

"That's ......"

It's just not, right? Of course, Chen Xu didn't say this.

It's nerve-wracking.

She is alone as a girl, and since she has been saved, it is impossible to watch her fall into the wolf's mouth again! That is tantamount to saving in vain.

One moment hero, the next moment shrinking eggs, Chen Xu asked himself if he couldn't do it.

So Chen Xu groaned, thinking in his heart - at the moment, he is actually a homeless, undocumented, and unrelated standard black hukou, which is not much better than this girl.

And more than that, if you offend the boss behind the Qinglou, you can find him sooner or later. After all, the characteristics are obvious, and it is easy to find out that he lives in the Zhou Mansion.

Since this is the case, then simply ...... It's time to move out with this girl. If the thugs are found, they will all be overturned, and this is what a man's husband should do.

Thinking of this, Chen Xu spoke again: "Okay, don't be nervous. I'm going to take you to rent a house, and if you don't have anywhere to go, just stay with me first. ”

"Good...... Target. ”

Brother Yao was pleasantly surprised.

Chen Xu nodded, leaned under the bed and took out the silver ingot, and left the room.

As soon as I walked to the living room, sure enough, the housekeeper sat on the back chair. Probably came to inquire formally, but Chen Xu was not angry. Think about it from another perspective, if a guest at your house suddenly brings back a woman covered in wounds, you have to ask for a clear question.

While he was thinking, the chief steward also slowly asked, "Uncle Chen." Can you tell me about that girl?"

Chen Xu stopped.

Seriously, "You're worried, aren't you?" Your fears are right. That girl was brought out of the Qinglou by me and didn't pay, so she was indeed a scourge. ”

"Oh......" The chief steward opened his mouth and didn't say any more, but there was already a strong displeasure brewing in his eyes.
