Chapter 101: Coming Often
Xi'er slept for a long time, and when she woke up, it was already noon, she sat up and saw that Hu Ran was sleeping next to her, and Ning Du was sitting next to her.
"You're awake. Ning Du said in a calm tone, far from yesterday's cold-blooded appearance.
"You drove ...... away yesterday?" Xi'er asked cautiously. Originally, she thought that she had fallen into the abyss, but she never thought that Yuan Si would suddenly run away, she couldn't explain what was going on, but she felt that Ning Du did it.
"Well, it won't come again. β
Just then, there was a knock on the door. Xi'er panicked when she heard such a knock on the door, she didn't dare to look at Ning Du with her eyes, and she didn't know where to put her hands.
"Don't go!"
Ning Du wanted to see who was knocking on the door, but he didn't move when he heard what Xi'er said.
Xi'er lowered her head and endured the knocking on the door, as if every knock knocked on her heart, and it hurt terribly. Fortunately, the ordeal was not too long, and there was finally no sound outside.
"Probably...... Someone is looking for the wrong door......" Xi'er defended in a panic.
Ning Du nodded and explained the same: "The doors here are all the same, and it is indeed easy to make mistakes. "Actually, he hadn't been out, and he didn't know what the doors were like.
"Well, often...... Someone is looking for the wrong door......"
Xi'er wanted to find something to say, but couldn't find anything, so she only smiled at Ning Du awkwardly.
At this moment, Hu Ran sighed, stretched his waist, and opened his eyes.
"Sister Xi'er, young master?" Hu Ran saw that Ning Du was beside him, and immediately sat up, but he didn't want to touch the soles of his burned feet, so he screamed and lay down heavily. "My feet hurt so much, young master!"
"Hmm. Ning Du replied. He saw the wound on the soles of Hu Ran's feet, and he felt more pain than the injury on his body. Even at that time, his consciousness and body were occupied by the Heavenly Demon Killing, but he could vaguely remember something, and he knew that Hu Ran was injured for him. If it weren't for Hu Ran, he might never have been able to get out of that underground secret room.
"I'm hungry, young master!"
"I've called someone to buy it. β
"How long will it take, I can't wait for a moment!"
"Soon. β
Xi'er looked at Hu Ran, who woke up, forgetting the dilemma just now, and was also full of joy, especially when she saw Hu Ran's happy appearance, she also felt happy, she couldn't help laughing: "You two, which one is the young master?"
"The young master is the young master!" Hu Ran said as a matter of course.
"Then why do you look like a young master, that spirited appearance!" Xi'er said with a smile.
"Oh-" Hu Ran glanced at Ning Du, thought about his behavior just now, and didn't feel anything abnormal. "No, the young master is much more angry than me when he teaches me!"
At this time, the door was suddenly kicked open, and seven or eight strong men rushed directly into the house.
"What about Yuan Si?" Yesterday, when they went to Yuan Si's house, they didn't find him, and everyone followed the clues to find it, first to Aunt Wang's family, and then to find here.
Xi'er was shocked, and Hu Ran was also startled, looking at the person who broke in inexplicably. Ning Du's face sank slightly, and he looked at the person who came with cold eyes.
"Hey, boy, what about you?!" a strong man rushed forward, grabbed Ning Du's shoulders and prepared to lift him. Xi'er was anxious when she saw it, and immediately jumped out of bed, knelt down and said: "Yuan Si came and left yesterday, not here, he is just a child, don't embarrass him, if you are angry, you will be angry with me." β
"You are Xi'er, right? I heard that you have been sold to Yuan Si, and Yuan Si owes me money, so I will take you to pay off the debt!" Looking at Xi'er's appearance, she can always sell for a good price.
Hu Ran looked at this group of people, slammed the bed, and said angrily: "Who are you? Who allowed you to come in? Who allowed you to arrest people at will? And took Sister Xi'er to pay off the debt? I think you should be arrested to be used as coolies!"
"Who are we?" the crowd laughed. "Little girl, have you heard of the small alley?
In such shabby-looking streets, small alleys can run rampant, and the people here will never dare to make any sound of resistance, after all, no one cares about the people here who die at home.
"Young Master, help me beat him!" Hu Ran said angrily.
Ning Du was originally very angry, but at this time, he was laughed at angrily, as if he had become a thug.
The big man who was about to go to fish for Xi'er suddenly froze and couldn't move. He didn't know what was going on, he felt like he was being cast into iron.
Xi'er wanted to laugh when she heard Hu Ran's words, but she couldn't laugh, she just wanted to send away the people in front of her, even if it was to take herself away.
"What are you doing in a daze, take this woman away! These two little ones are sold directly!" said the leader.
At this moment, the old gun rushed back with food, and his face sank when he saw the people around. He set the meal aside, held one person down in one hand, and threw it all out.
"Who are you?!You dare to move in the small alley?I don't think you want to live anymore!" The person in front heard the movement and immediately rushed over with a fist.
The old gun threw all the intruders out and brought in the food.
"Young Master, Miss, I'm sorry to let those miscellaneous things outside disturb you. β
"Hurry up, I'm dying of hunger! Old gun, you must teach those people a good lesson! You dare to arrest Sister Xi'er, it's so annoying! Catch them all to do coolies!" Hu Ran half sat up and immediately took the chopsticks handed over by the old gun.
"Yes, miss. The old gun set the meal and exited the door.
"Do you know about the small alley? Don't just because you're a cultivator and you can act recklessly here!" I tell you...... The people in the small alley wanted to bluff, but they didn't want to be violently thrown out by the old guns, and they immediately lay down on the street half-dead. After a while, people from the small alley came to the door, but they were all put down by the old guns one by one, and people kept coming, and people kept falling, until the real person in charge of the small alley came to take a look, knelt down and kowtowed three times, and no one came.
"Na, Sister Xi'er, you eat a chicken leg! I eat a chicken leg! You eat a chicken wing, I eat a chicken wing! Young master, you can eat it...... Young master, look at it and eat it!" Hu Ran was not addicted to using chopsticks, so she moved her hand directly, but she was already so hungry that her chest was pressed against her back.
Xi'er carefully ate the chicken leg that was stuffed into her hand by Hu Ran. There was a strange sensation of chewed food flowing into the empty stomach, but as more and more food was eaten, the awakened stomach began to develop a strong hunger pang, forcing the owner to keep eating. Needless to say, it has been two years since she entered Tiandu, and she has never eaten such a sumptuous meal since she was a child.
"Hiccupββ!" Hu Ran burped, wiped his mouth with his hand, and lay down comfortably. "It's full!"
Xi'er had already eaten enough, and looking at Hu Ran, who had an amazing amount of food, the joy in her heart had not diminished. Being able to eat means that Hu Ran is good.
Ning Du didn't have any appetite, so he stopped after eating two bites.
"Master, my feet hurt. Hu Ran lay on the bed, feeling a hot sensation starting from the soles of his feet and spreading upwards.
"I'll take you to Bian to teach. β
"It's an old man again!" Hu Ran didn't want to see the other party, and he couldn't get out of the Qingteng Garden when he saw the designation.
Ning Du didn't speak, and put away the dishes and chopsticks.
Xi'er looked at Ning Du, thought to herself, and asked after a long time, "You must be the young master and young lady of a big family, right?"
"My family is just me and the young master, living in Gualiu Hutong and going to school in Qingteng Garden, which is not a big family. Hu Ran tilted his head and said.
"Oh. Xi'er obviously didn't know where Gualiu Hutong was, and she didn't know what Qingteng Garden was, so she only thought it was a good place.
"Sister Xi'er, why don't you move in with us!" Hu Ran suddenly said happily. "If you are at home, the house will be lively! The young master often ignores me, and the two of us can talk!"
Xi'er just wanted to open her mouth to agree, but lowered her head and shook her head.
Ning Du packed everything, glanced at Xi'er, and said, "Thank you for these few days, Sister Xi'er." β
Xi'er smiled nervously, no one had thanked her in so long, and she didn't know how to deal with such a thank.
"Let's go, Hu Ran. Ning Du said.
"Where are you going?" asked Hu Ran in surprise.
"Green Vine Garden. β
"Oh. Hu Ran didn't want to go to Bian Shihan, but her feet did hurt badly, and if she waited for a while, she felt that her feet would be gone.
"Are you leaving?" Xi'er asked anxiously, her expression darkened. "Go well, go well, Hu Ran's feet are burning so badly, I really have to go to the doctor immediately......"
"Let's go together. Ning Du looked at Xi'er and said.
Xi'er shook her head with a smile and said, "If you go, I won't follow." As much as she wanted to see Hu Ran's foot healed, she felt she couldn't go. She, a person in the dark, could no longer see the light.
"Why, it's not good to live here, go to my house!"
Ning Du glanced at Xi'er, as if she saw what she was thinking, and said, "Since you don't go, then we will come often." β
"......Come often" Xi'er wanted to agree but didn't want to agree, she was afraid that Ning Du and Hu Ran would bump into her embarrassment, but she also wanted to see the two again. "Then come often......"
Hu Ran thought about it and thought it would work, so he tried to sit up and climbed onto Ning Du's back.
Ning Du picked up Hu Ran, and Xi'er hurriedly draped the only quilt on Hu Ran.
"It's cold outside, don't catch a cold. β
"No!" Hu Ran looked back at Sister Xi'er and waved his hand at her. "Don't send it, Sister Xi'er. β
Xi'er chased to the door, watched Ning Du and Hu Ran get into the carriage, and didn't return to the house until the alley was empty.
A room for one person is noticeably colder than a room for three.
"You're going to come often!"
