"Daughter-in-law." Li Shu stood at the door and called at her affectionately.

Dressed in red, handsome and extraordinary, the corners of his eyes and eyebrows are filled with bright smiles.

Li Man was slightly stunned, and saw him stride into the door and close the door casually.

The light in the room dimmed instantly.

"Li Shu." Li Man looked at him in a daze, and his voice was slightly hoarse.

Li Shu raised his lips and smiled at her, walked to the big cabinet, took out two red candles the thickness of a baby's arm from his arms, lit them with a fire fold, and then carefully placed them on the big cabinet.

The flaming candlelight suddenly made this simple bedroom show a hazy and warm beauty.

"This" Li Man stared at the beautiful candlelight, and his mind was a little trance-like.

Li Shu lit the candle, turned around and walked towards her, looked at the little her, sat quietly on the kang and waited for him, his heart was soft.

"Daughter-in-law" he leaned over slightly, propped up on the edge of the kang with one hand, and gently stroked her face with the other, and his eyes were so soft that he could squeeze out water.

Li Man was a little embarrassed, he was dressed like a groom official, and he also prepared a pair of dragon and phoenix candles

This seemed to make her realize for the first time that she had arrived in ancient times.

Candle night in the cave room.

Flustered by his staring, Li Man deliberately diverted the topic, "Where did you get this candle?" ”

Li Shu laughed twice, and mysteriously took out a paper bag from his arms and stuffed it into Li Man's palm.

"What?" Li Man was curious.

Li Shu shrugged at her, "Open it and take a look." ”

Li Man opened it curiously, and there were two pieces of dim sum in the paper bag, smelling of dates, as well as a small handful of peanuts and lotus seeds.

"This?"

Li Shu twisted a piece of jujube cake and handed it to her lips, "I haven't eaten anything during the day, are you hungry?" ”

"Where did you get this snack?" Li Man opened his lips to hold the pastry and asked while eating.

Li Shu took off his shoes and sat on the kang, "The dim sum was given by Aunt Xu." ”

As he spoke, he peeled another peanut and stuffed it in her mouth.

Li Man chewed, a stream of green gas filled his mouth, and he immediately frowned, "Or raw?" ”

"Really?" Li Shu's eyes were burning.

Li Man nodded stunned, he wanted to vomit, but looking at his eyes, he swallowed back in a daze.

"Then eat another lotus seed." Li Shu picked another lotus seed and fed it to her mouth.

Li Man chewed it, his little face collapsed, "It's still raw." "This kid didn't mean it, did he?

Unexpectedly, as soon as her words fell, Li Shu suddenly hugged her tightly, and couldn't stop boasting, "Good daughter-in-law." ”

Li Manzhi was a little dumbfounded, "What's wrong?" ”

"Ha Luha, daughter-in-law, do you like to eat? Let's eat them all. Li Shu let go of her, twisted another piece of pastry for her, and asked, "Choke or not, let me pour you some water?" ”

"Hmm." It's not because the jujube paste cake chokes people, but the raw peanuts and lotus seeds in her mouth, the green air makes her uncomfortable.

Li Shu put the paper bag in her hand, slipped out of bed, put on her shoes, and went to the kitchen to pour a bowl of hot water.

Li Man ate two pastries, drank a bowl of hot water, and felt full.

"Daughter-in-law, eat some more." Li Shu sat on the edge of the kang and peeled peanuts for her.

"Where did you get it?" Li Man asked curiously, anyway, she didn't have it at home, otherwise, she would have fried it for Xiao Wu earlier.

"I asked for it from someone." Li Shu smiled and handed the peeled peanuts to her lips.

Li Mantou leaned back, "You eat, I'm full." ”

"Eat more." Li Shu still handed the peanut into her mouth, "This peanut is delicious, everyone in our village has it, hehe, I have a good relationship with him, ask him for it, and give it." ”

"Oh. What do you want this for? Li Man was embarrassed to only eat and not peel it, so he also took the peanuts and peeled them, and handed them to his lips, "You eat them too." ”

"Hmm." Li Shuyi lowered his head, opened his mouth and took it from her hand, Xu didn't grasp it well, the tip of his wet and hot tongue slid through her fingers, making Li Man freeze all over, and hurriedly put down the other peanuts, not daring to peel them again.

"You can eat it yourself if you peel it, I'm full." She said.

"Oh." Li Shu really peeled it and threw it into his mouth, and asked with a smile, "Are you really hungry?" ”

Li Man shook his head, he didn't want to eat raw peanuts.

Li Shu hurriedly packed up the paper bag, put it directly on the windowsill, clapped his hands, leaned over to Li Man, and said with a smile, "Then, it's dark, daughter-in-law, let's rest." ”

Puff Li Man was amused by his anxious appearance and the last sentence of rest, where did he learn it?

But she didn't have fun for a while, she was frightened by his undressing action, grabbed the placket of her clothes with both hands, and said hurriedly, "Li Shu, you wait-"

"What's wrong?" Li Shu stopped his movements, his eyes showed pleading, "Daughter-in-law, you promised me a long time ago, and the cave house is all dependent on me on this day." ”

Li Man's face was flushed and shy, and he pointed to the candle, "Isn't that extinguishable?" ”

With candles lit, you can see everything in the room.

Li Shu smiled, and his fingers scraped her cheek dotingly, "Fool, in the night of the cave room, the candle cannot be extinguished, it is best to light it until dawn overnight." ”

"Ah, that's it?" Li Man was flustered, how to light a candle like this?

Seeing Li Shu half-kneeling in front of her like a small mountain, she had the urge to escape.

"Daughter-in-law." Li Shu lowered his body slightly, gently picked up her drunken little face, and smiled gently, "Are you afraid?" ”

"No, no" Li Man opened his eyes and bit his lip slightly.

Li Shu leaned down, leaned close to her red ears that were about to drip blood, and chuckled lowly, "Daughter-in-law, don't be afraid, I will be very light."

Two fingers came to her and gently untied the straps of her clothes.

Li Man's mind was a little dizzy, her body was weak, and she was crooked in his arms, although it was not the first time, but on such a night in the cave room, she still closed her eyes shyly.

Outside the window, the night gradually filled, and inside the house, red candles flickered, and low and muffled gasps slowly overflowed

In the east room, except for Xiao Wu, who was coaxed to sleep by Li Hua, the other three men were lying on the kang, all with their eyes wide open, staring at the black roof.

It's all because the room is too small, the sound insulation is too poor, and the sound is like a spell, even if they cover their ears with quilts, they still run high or low into their ears.

Did the bad boy of the third child do it on purpose?

From one night to dawn, this is to take all the revenge back.

At dawn the next day, there was silence in the courtyard of the Li family, and there was no trace of anyone getting up, until the third day of the day, Xiao Wu rubbed his stomach and called Big Brother.

Everyone got up one after another, and a few people who hadn't slept all night had haggard faces.

Only Li Shu, who came out of the Westinghouse at this moment, was refreshed, full of energy, and even more handsome and extraordinary in red.

"Big brother, second brother. Oh, fourth brother. He wore his belt as he greeted his brother who had just come out of the East House, and the corners of his lips were raised, full of a smile that had eaten and drunk enough.

Li Mo snorted, nodded, and headed towards the backyard.

Li Yan's face was pale, and he directly bypassed him and went to the kitchen to boil water and wash.

"Fourth brother?" Li Shu looked at the only Li painting left, raised his lips and smiled, "Big brother and second brother, what's wrong?" Seems to be angry with me. ”

Not to mention being angry, the second brother was so annoyed last night that he almost went to the next room to beat people.

"Third brother." Li Hua looked at the next door worriedly, "Man'er She" was another night, and he felt sorry for her.

"My daughter-in-law is sleeping fragrantly, so don't call her." Li Shudao.

Li Hua frowned, glanced at Li Shu, didn't say anything more, and went straight to the kitchen.

"Third brother." Xiao Wu showed his little head from the door frame at this time and looked at Li Shu suspiciously.

Li Shu was in a very good mood today, and beckoned to him, "Little thing, come here, there is something delicious here for the third brother." ”

Last night's peanut lotus seeds, he deliberately kept some, just for Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu slipped over from the door, took the food, and then asked curiously, "Third brother, did you sleep in your sister's room last night?" ”

"Ahh Li Shu nodded.

"You're fine, are you?" Xiao Wu looked at him worriedly.

Li Shu was amused, "Am I not good at it?" ”

Xiao Wu looked at the West House uneasily, "What about my sister?" ”

Li Shu was curious, "What's wrong?" Your sister is still asleep, don't bother her. ”

"It's really nothing? It's good that there's nothing wrong with it. Xiao Wu slowly put his mind at ease, thinking about the sound he heard last night, one would be the third brother's muffled roar, and the other would be the sister's suppressed voice as if she was going to cry, he woke up from his dream several times, and wanted to take a look, the eldest brother said that the third brother was catching mice in his sister's house.

If you want to catch mice, how can you catch them for so long? Besides, isn't the beast trap made by the eldest brother better? He also wanted to go over and put two of them, but he was caught by the eldest brother and stuffed into the quilt.

ay

Fortunately, the third brother and sister are doing well.

——

Li Man slept for a long time, from yesterday's sunset and dusk to today's sunset and dusk, he didn't go out for a whole day.

Two meals were saved, dinner was sent in by Xiao Wu, she only rinsed her mouth, and then gobbled it up, she was really hungry.

After eating, he lay down again, and did not go out again.

Actually, I can't say how tired I am, if compared with the others, Li Shu is the most gentle and considerate one for her, except for the most uncontrollable time, at other moments, as long as she is a little uncomfortable, he tries to cooperate with her.

Make her feel like a pampered flower, his most cherished wife.

However, there were a few others next door, and the sound insulation of this room was poor, and she knew it, so even if she tried not to make a sound, the banging on the kang could also lead people to infinite reverie.

Therefore, it was useless, she was tired and ashamed and didn't come out all day.

After another night, she finally slept enough, and this night, no one grabbed her kang, and she slept soundly.

When I got up again, my complexion was ruddy, and after a little freshening, the little beauty came out.

When she went out, several people in the yard were obviously a little stunned, but their eyes were immediately full of surprise.

It's just that they all looked at her, and no one spoke first.

They didn't say it, Li Man wanted to say, "After eating, I still have to go to Uncle Xu's side, I don't know what happened to Dayong?" ”

"Well, it shouldn't be a problem, yesterday Uncle Xu said, let you come back for a few more days, saying that if there is a problem, someone will be sent over. No one has come over until now, so it should be fine. Li Yan said.

Li Man nodded, but she was still not at ease, "Have you eaten it?" I'll let Xiao Wu accompany me later. ”

"Little Five?" The four of them were obviously a little unhappy, but it seemed that one of them was even more unhappy to let them follow.

Li Man pursed her lips and glanced at them, she really couldn't stand it, and she needed to go to Aunt Xu's side to rest for a few days, otherwise, don't even think about getting off the kang in the future.

"Well, I'll let Xiao Wu clean up and come with you in a while." Li Mo thought for a while and said.

Li Man smiled, turned around and went to the kitchen, "Then I'll eat first." ”

The four of them watched her enter the kitchen, and then looked at each other, with helplessness, pity, and deep love in their eyes.

The daughter-in-law can do whatever she wants, now, they have all passed the house, and they are not afraid that the daughter-in-law will run away, besides, the days are all arranged, just waiting for the implementation next month.

I've endured it for so many years, and now it's time to endure it these days.

After breakfast, Li Man packed a few changes of clothes for Xiao Wu, and the two set off.

When he arrived at Dr. Xu's house, he saw that Dayong was already able to get off the kang, and he was eating the noodles that Aunt Xu made for him.

Dayong met with Xiao Wu, and the two friends were very happy.

But just let them chat casually, Li Man took Xiao Wu out, before he was well, she thought it was better to have less contact.

In the following days, Li Man and Xiao Wu lived in Uncle Xu's house, and what made her satisfied was that none of the men in the family had come these days, which really made her comfortable for a while.

These days, Dayong's illness is basically under control, and the rash on his body has scarred, just waiting to be taken off.

And Li Man, in addition to taking care of Dayong every day and teaching Xiao Wu to read some books, is to accompany Aunt Xu to talk, and then follow Uncle Xu to learn some things.

The rest is nothing, it's just that in the past few days with Uncle Xu, she has really seen a lot, it turns out that this old man is not a professional doctor, but he is a famous teacher.

What is the transfer of teachers? Later, Aunt Xu secretly told her that when Old Man Xu was young, he turned out to be the head of the palace, and he specialized in serving those women who were favored by the emperor.

No wonder Aunt Xu said that he was not a serious person when he was young.

It's just that thirty years ago, the royal family of Dayan Kingdom changed suddenly, and he was probably afraid of being implicated at a young age, so he went to this ghost place where birds don't.

With the understanding of medical skills and his willingness to study, Old Man Xu quickly gained a foothold here.

And Aunt Xu was the concubine of a large family in another town, frail and sick since she was a child, and the family was raised by her as a dying person, and later, by chance, I met Old Man Xu, and the old man sent her medicine every day to treat her illness, and after a long time, she had feelings.

At that time, he was twenty-three years older than her, and two years older than her father, which had been blocked by the family.

Aunt Xu is also a fierce person, she didn't bring anything, even the clothes on her body were thrown to her mother's family, wrapped in the robe that Old Man Xu was wearing at that time, so she came to this goddess ditch with him, and she spent half her life in the middle.

Hearing this, Li Man admired Aunt Xu very much, if it was her, I was afraid that she would not have the courage.

She also asked Aunt Xu if she regretted it, Aunt Xu shook her head, and said that it was enough to have that dead old man in this life, and she didn't want to do the rest, and she didn't think it was interesting.

Li Man thought of herself, in this life, it should be enough for her to have the Li family brothers.

However, when she thought like this, she felt a little sad in the depths of her heart.

She didn't know why this sadness came from, but she did

Especially when I heard Xu Bo talk about another great change in the Dayan royal family five years ago, when she heard that the crown prince Yanbei died under the random arrows, she was inexplicably worried and cried.

Even Uncle Xu laughed at her, saying that she was a stupid girl, but Aunt Xu glared at Uncle Xu, saying that Man'er was a kind child, and when she heard those things, she was naturally sad, not to mention her, and she couldn't help but feel sad when she heard it.

Although she didn't know what kind of person Yanbei, the prince of Lu Dao, was, she heard Old Man Xu talk about his mother, Lin Guifei, and said that she was the most beautiful, noble and kind woman he had ever seen in his life.

So, she thinks that her son is not bad either.

National events have nothing to do with a little woman like Li Man, so the sadness is just a moment, and with Dayong's improvement, the dark clouds in her heart gradually dispersed.

Again, it has been more than ten days since I came to Uncle Xu's house, and Xiao Wu is homesick, and she also thinks about it.

In the first few days after she came, the Li brothers didn't come to take a look, she still felt comfortable, but for so many days, none of them came, she suddenly felt uncomfortable in her heart, and even a little annoyed, shouldn't they all forget her and Xiao Wu.

In the early morning of this day, Li Man got up early, packed up his things, cooked breakfast again, and called Aunt Xu to eat.

After eating hastily, he hurried home with his two children.

Although it is only two thatched huts, it is now the place where she cares the most.

As soon as he got home, the small fence gate at the courtyard gate was closed, and Li Man's heart sank, could it be that something happened at home? Otherwise, those few wouldn't fail to look at themselves and Xiao Wu.

"Little Five? Master Man'er. At this moment, a little girl's voice came from behind.

When the two turned around, they saw the eldest girl and the second girl, and the two of them came over carrying a basket of clothes.

Li Man nodded at the two of them, "What about the laundry?" ”

"Did you see my eldest brother?" Xiao Wu asked.

The eldest girl replied, "The eldest brother and the second brother have gone into the mountains, right?" ”

"Into the mountains?" Xiao Wu was puzzled, "What about my third brother and fourth brother?" ”

Erya smiled, "Working in the fields." ”

"Oh." Li Man breathed a sigh of relief, just work in the field, but the two who entered the mountain, she turned her face and asked Xiao Wu, "Your eldest brother and second brother are hunting in the mountains?" ”

Xiao Wu frowned, "Probably." However, why is the eldest brother not with the third brother? The third brother is better at hunting than the second brother. ”

This Li Man didn't care, she knew that it was good if there was nothing wrong, so she pushed open the fence gate and went home with Xiao Wu.

The yard was full of peach fragrance, and she saw that the peaches on the peach tree were big and watery, and she hurriedly took a bamboo pole and beat a few and stuffed them to the eldest girl and the second girl.

The two children thanked her and asked when they could read and write with her again.

Li Man said that it was okay at any time, and the two children went back happily.

Li Man put the salute back into the house and found that the house was very clean.

Moreover, the little yellow chicken has grown a lot, the little pig has also grown a lot, and there seem to be a few new vegetables added to the small vegetable garden in the backyard, but the seedlings have just grown, and she can't see it.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Li Man didn't want to rest, and took out the clothes that several men in the east room had not had time to wash before they had time to wash, first took them out, soaked them in water, and then said that they were washed and dried out.

After it is done, I wash the rice and vegetables to prepare for cooking.

However, the meal was almost ready, and no one came back, so Li Man was a little anxious and asked Xiao Wu to go to the field to shout.

Xiao Wu couldn't bear to think about his brothers, listened to the order, and hurriedly ran out.

But he came back after a while.

Moreover, the first person in the room was Li Shu, followed by Li Hua, and Xiao Wu fell behind and squeezed in through the crack in the door.

"Daughter-in-law, you're finally back, and you want to die." Li Shu threw the hoe, and he didn't care about the sweat, so he rushed over and hugged Li Man, who was serving vegetables, tightly.

Li Man's heart warmed, although he was usually tired of them, but at this moment, it was good to be able to look at them like this and feel them.

Li Hua stood next to her, looking at her with a melted gaze, "Why do you cook when you come back?" Don't wait for me to come back. ”

Li Man put down the dishes and looked at Li Hua, "Look at you're tanned, have you been on the ground these days?" ”

"If you don't let him go, what's the solution." Li Shu finally let go of her, put one hand on her shoulder, and looked at Li Hua funny, "Blessed are the guys who don't know what to think." ”

Li Hua smiled quietly, looking at her quietly, of course the third brother didn't know what to do, without her at home, he was not bored to do anything, but it was better to work in the field comfortably.
