Outside the window, the rain was quiet, and the only thing left in the quiet room was the creaking of candle wicks.

Staring at Lan Yi's face, which was even paler by the candlelight, I sat down at the table and said, "Little uncle, why don't we put a bowl of tea in the middle of the bed and make do with it?" Anyway, if you don't say it, I won't say it, and no one will know when I return to the Blue Mansion. ”

However, sitting across from me, Lan Yi stared at me and smiled silently......

It was dark, and I was sleepy. If Lan Yi doesn't agree, how can I go to bed?

Looking at the smile on the corner of his lips, I said unhappily: "The little uncle is not very old, but he lives a very old-fashioned life. Those who are pure are self-purifying, so why should you mind the rules and regulations of the world. ”

Lan Yi saw me rolling her eyes at him, and said silently, "Sister-in-law." Ah Yi is not old-fashioned about etiquette, but in case her sister-in-law dreams in the middle of the night, not only will she spill the tea, but Ah Yi's weak body will not be able to withstand her sister-in-law's fists and legs. ”

"This ......" I twitched the corners of my eyes when I heard this, and I couldn't help but think of when I slept with my second sister Qiu Plutonium when I was a child, and when I woke up the next day, she covered her panda eyes and cried and told the emperor that I not only wrapped myself in the quilt in the middle of the night, but also punched her several times. Thinking about it at that time, I was still young, and I didn't have much strength, and a few punches came down, at most it was just a skin injury. But now I can kill the tiger's "Qiu Xian" with my bare hands.

Pull out the mountain and cover the world, and beat you hard to stay.

I pondered and said, "Then why don't I take turns sleeping with my little uncle, and my little uncle sleeps for the first half of the night, and I sleep for the second half of the night?" ”

The answer to me was still Lan Yi's smiling and silent expression.

Heart congestion.

"Little uncle, what do you want? Could it be that there is a bed that does not sleep, staring at the eyes until dawn? ”

Lan Yi took a sip of tea, looked at the wooden bed leaning against the wall, which was not much bigger than the Lan Mansion table, and said, "Sister-in-law's bed is." ”

"What about you? Why don't you sit at this table all night? ”

I didn't want Lan Yi to take out a notebook from his arms and said, "Ah Yi can just read a book." ”

I pursed my lips, if it were someone else, I would have had the wooden bed to myself. But Lan Yi, how could he stay up late with his thin body. Even when I'm in bed, I can't sleep. If there must be one person between me and Lan Yi to stay up late, that person must be me!

I touched my chin and said, "Uncle Otherwise." You and I will try again, and if whoever wins, we will listen to whomever it is. ”

Lan Yi looked at me with a flash of fine eyes and said, "How do you want to compare?" ”

I said, "Compare your wrists, two wins in three games." ”

Lan Yi continued to stare into my eyes, smiling without saying a word......

Receiving Lan Yi's silent refusal, I said again: "Little uncle, otherwise." You and I will guess, you guess that I have a peanut in my hand, and you win. ”

This time, Lan Yi didn't want to answer: "Okay." ”

Hearing the expected answer, I let out a long sigh of relief and let Lan Yi turn his head, so that I could decide which hand to put the peanuts that the old woman brought for supper.

After a while, I said, "Little uncle, you can turn around." ”

But after Lan Yi turned around, he didn't look at my hand, and said directly: "Sister-in-law, you lost." ”

I stared at Lan Yi's shallow smile on his lips with wide eyes, and said in surprise: "Little uncle, you haven't even guessed why I lost?" ”

Lan Yi said: "Because my sister-in-law didn't hold peanuts in either hand." ”

Lan Yi, why would he know?! Didn't he have eyes behind him, or was he just peeking?

As if seeing through my thoughts, Lan Yi looked straight at me and said, "Because my sister-in-law is kind-hearted, I don't want Ah Yi to suffer." But for Ah Yi, Ah Yi doesn't feel that reading at night is a hard job. And my sister-in-law is not only kind-hearted, but also a promise, I believe that my sister-in-law will not live up to Ah Yi's good intentions. ”

I twitched the corners of my mouth, and I had to praise the eloquence of this first genius in Holly Town. I said, "Little uncle, you won." ”

"Since I won, my sister-in-law doesn't need to feel guilty. Sleep peacefully. After Lan Yi finished speaking, he sat down with his back to the wooden bed and began to flip through the script.

As Lan Yi said, I am my daughter the princess of the country, how can I lose my words.

I was reluctant to lie on the wooden bed, but because the bed was too hard and the quilt was too cold, I couldn't sleep for a long time staring at Lan Yi's quiet and thin back.

After a long time, I only heard Lan Yi call softly: "Sister-in-law? ”

Lan Yi took great pains to give me the wooden bed, I should cherish it and sleep peacefully. For this reason, I deliberately increased the sound of my breathing, pretending that I was already asleep.

But at this time, Lan Yi said: "Sister-in-law, I know that there is a place where the braised suckling pigeon sold is more delicious than the one in Wuweiju." ”

"What's that?" After hearing what I blurted out, I wanted to slap myself twice.

In the quiet room, I seemed to hear Lan Yi's chuckle. I scratched my hair in embarrassment and said, "Little uncle, do you know that I haven't slept yet?" ”

"Yes." Lan Yi revealed the truth in one sentence: "Sister-in-law, this plank bed has been creaking. ”

Adversity......

Just when I was speechless, Lan Yi said again: "If my sister-in-law can't sleep, can Ah Yi read the book to my sister-in-law?" ”

Are you a three-year-old and still need to listen to bedtime stories?

Before I could refuse, Lan Yi began to give me a speech book in a tone like coaxing a child to sleep.

The moment I heard Lan Yi's whispering like a breeze blowing through the falling flowers, I just wanted to say that I was still young and liked to listen to bedtime stories the most......

I lay flat on the wooden bed, and my emotions went from being restless to calming down, and finally falling asleep.

In the fog, I seemed to hear someone say, "Master, the old woman who lives in this house seems to have a problem." ”

The voice...... Not a little uncle's!

Who the hell is it......

"Where's the little uncle?" I opened my eyes with a mutter.

I saw that in the quiet room, the candle flame was flickering, and Lan Yi was facing away from me with one hand, and the book had fallen to the ground.

I was dreaming.

In order to avoid waking Lan Yi up, I tiptoed out of bed and walked to Lan Yi, looking at the green shadow faintly floating under his eyes, I only felt an inexplicable feeling welling up in my heart.

This kind of affection is like seeing the mother queen being burdened by government affairs, and wants to care for her, but feels powerless. But it's more like seeing Erha being stung by a bee and swelling his mouth, and I want to pick it up and comfort it.

Thinking of this, I bent down to Lan Yi and said in a voice that almost only I could hear, "Little uncle, you and I are a family. Why do you have to be strong in front of me? ”

After I finished speaking, in order not to wake up Lan Yi, I gently grabbed his waist with one hand, picked him up horizontally, and then gently placed him on the wooden bed, covering him with a thin quilt that had been warmed by me.

Succeed with flying colors!

I secretly said in my heart, but the moment I raised my eyes, I saw Lan Yi's slender eyelashes trembling slightly.

Not good! Could it be that I moved too much and woke up Lan Yi.

This is the first time in my life to get someone to bed, and I hurriedly jumped to the table with my feet and blew out the candle, as if as long as I couldn't see it, Lan Yi didn't know that I was lying on the bed now......

After a long time, I didn't hear Lan Yi's voice behind me, and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

I don't know when the rain outside the window stopped, and now it's pitch black inside the house, and I can't read the script. Wrong...... Even if the candle is still burning, I can't understand this Jiang Guo's script.

I yawned and pushed the door open, and was about to go to the kitchen to get some meat to eat, when I heard footsteps behind me.

"Who is it?" I turned around with the kitchen knife I was using to cut the braised pork, and saw a wrinkled face illuminated by the candle in his hand.

The old man holds a candle in one hand and a wooden stick in the other. And I raised my hand with a kitchen knife.

As the saying goes, people are scared to death, and before I was so frightened by the old man in front of me that I threw away the kitchen knife, the old man was so frightened that I threw away the wooden stick and almost stumbled and almost fell to the ground.

"Old man, are you alright?" I pinned the kitchen knife to my waist and lifted the old man up.

"I'm fine. I just heard the movement and thought it was rats in the house, so I came out to take a look. ”

"......," I scratched my hair awkwardly and laughed, "I don't think I'm the big mouse." ”

When the old man heard this, he had to laugh awkwardly with me.

In order to break this awkward atmosphere, I said, "Old man, can't you sleep too?" ”

The old man stared at my face with a candle and said, "I sleep lightly, and I am easily awakened when I hear movement. Are you the guest taken in by your wife? ”

I nodded in response.

This man always wants to talk to someone when he can't sleep or can't sleep.

At this time, when I saw the old man who couldn't sleep, I was like seeing a fellow from my daughter's country, which was very kind. I hugged the old man and smiled, "Old man, it just so happens that I can't sleep either." Why don't I drink with you? ”

Xiao is an old man who is old and slow to react. The old man stared at my face for a long time before he reacted and smiled, "Okay." It's been a long time since anyone has drunk with me, an old man. ”

I was surprised and said, "Doesn't your wife drink with you?" ”

The old man's eyes suddenly showed a touch of gloom.

What a familiar look......

I was stunned and only heard the old man say: "The old woman is not in good health and can't drink." ”

"That's right." I suddenly thought about what Yao Lian had said to "Qiu Xian", and then said: "The book says that if you don't get drunk, everyone gets drunk. As long as she is by your side, even drinking plain water is like drinking honey, sweet and intoxicating. ”

I originally wanted to comfort the old man, but I didn't want him to hear my words, but the gloom in his eyes was even greater.

At this time, I touched my double chin, and I couldn't help but think of Lan Yi, who couldn't accompany me to drink wine because his body was too weak.

I let out a soft sigh, and the old man beside me looked at me in confusion and said, "Little girl, did your father-in-law bully you?" ”

"Huh?"

Lan Pei is far away in Black Wind Village, how did he bully me?

Seeing this, the old man pointed to my eyes: "Little girl, why are you sad?" ”
