Chapter 13: Returning After the Rain

When I woke up the next day, it was still dark and the rain had stopped. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Xue Zhao sat up, the clothes on her body slipped off, in addition to her own coat, there was also a dark dress, Xue Zhao rubbed her eyes and carefully identified it, it seemed to be Lin Xiuyuan's, the clothes were all dried and warmly covered on her. She saw that the fire had not burned out, and that there was a roast chicken-like thing on the shelf where she baked clothes yesterday was now worn, and it was still steaming, Xue Zhao suddenly felt hungry, maybe she was awakened by the fragrance of this chicken...

She felt embarrassed to think of this, but her stomach protested uncontrollably, reminding her that she hadn't eaten last night. She was about to get up when Lin Xiuyuan walked in from outside, he looked at her and smiled, and asked, "Are you hungry?" Let's have a bite to eat. Then he pointed to the chicken that was on the shelf, and asked, "Do you dare to eat the pheasant I caught from the neighborhood?" ”

Xue Zhao's eyes lit up, nodded vigorously, stepped forward and tore off a piece of chicken leg and was about to eat it, turned his head to look at Lin Xiuyuan, smiled embarrassedly, handed him the chicken leg, and then tore another piece and ate it himself. She said while eating, "When I was young, I followed Ling Bo to the mountains, and I often ate like this. At that time, Ling Bo was in good health, and it was not a problem to catch a chicken, and the chicken he roasted... Xue Zhao said with great interest, suddenly silent, his eyes darkened, and said thoughtfully, "The heavy rain last night, I don't know what happened to the small hut... ”

Lin Xiuyuan remained silent, only smiled mildly and said, "Let's go back and have a look after eating!" ”

Xue Zhao nodded, ate a few more fruits picked by Lin Xiuyuan, briefly freshened up, and walked back with Lin Xiuyuan. She didn't know the way, so she could only follow behind Lin Xiuyuan. After the heavy rain, the air was fresh and seemed to have a sweet fragrance, Xue Zhao secretly looked at Lin Xiuyuan's side face from behind, and a faint sense of happiness welled up in her heart, followed by a burst of sadness, she thought, if it wasn't for Lun Shiqing's entrustment, maybe he wouldn't take care of her like this.

After walking for half an hour, he arrived in front of the yard, Xue Zhao didn't expect to follow Lin Xiuyuan to find his home so quickly, it turned out that the weather was gloomy yesterday and he couldn't see the direction clearly, like a headless fly drilling, and he took a lot of wrong roads. Thinking of this, Xue Zhao was ashamed, like her, how could she protect Uncle Ling, Min Po and the Yaoqin left by her father?

Xue Zhao was worried that the heavy rain would wash away the roof and courtyard wall of the thatched hut, so she quickly stepped forward and anxiously knocked on the door, "Min Po! Lingbo! I'm Xuezhao, I'm back! ”

The door opened quickly, but it was Cang Shizhu who opened the door, Xue Zhao was stunned, Cang Shizhu anxiously grabbed Xue Zhao's arm and asked, "Miss Yu, are you back?" You... Are you okay? ”

Min Po and Ling Bo also followed anxiously behind, Xue Zhao was a little embarrassed, and just wanted to withdraw her arm, but saw a big hand quietly pull out her arm from the side, and a calm voice sounded, "Miss Yu is fine, I found her yesterday." He paused, and then said, "This is Canggongzi, right?" The tired boy is worried. ”

Xue Zhao felt even more embarrassed, her arm was still held by Lin Xiuyuan, she didn't know what to say, she suddenly saw Min Po and Ling Bo behind her, and hurriedly rushed in and asked, "Mother-in-law, how are you?" Is there a lot of rain leaking in the house? Did the courtyard wall collapse? Did you get hurt? Saying that, she squatted down again to check Ling Bo's legs, and Ling Bo quickly helped her up and said, "Miss, it's okay, after you went out yesterday afternoon, Lin Gongzi brought someone over and strengthened the roof and courtyard wall, just finished before the heavy rain came, it's too timely!" Lin Gongzi braved the heavy rain to go out to look for you again, and I was relieved to see that you came back safe and sound! Saying that, he turned to Lin Xiuyuan and said, "The old man and Miss Dai worship the grace of Lin Gongzi for saving his life!" As he spoke, he was about to bow down, and Cang Shizhu also arched his hand and said, "Thanks to Lin Gongzi's righteous rescue, Lin Gongzi is really a chivalrous man!" Lin Xiuyuan stepped forward and helped Ling Bo up, and the sentence in his mouth was still the same, "This is my job." "But this time, it doesn't seem to be as shocking as last time.

Xue Zhao couldn't help but look up at Lin Xiuyuan, her eyes were full of surprise and gratitude, Lin Xiuyuan was also looking at her, with an uninhibited smile on her face, as if she was laughing at her worry when she ate chicken legs just now.

Xue Zhao blushed and looked away with her eyes. At this time, Min Po came up to break the embarrassment, pulled Xue Zhao and said, "It rained heavily after Lin Gongzi left last night, and then Cang Gongzi also came, I was worried that you wouldn't be able to come back, so I didn't go back overnight." ”

Xue Zhao looked at Cang Shizhu in surprise, and at this moment she noticed that his face was haggard and his eyes were red, obviously worried all night. Xue Zhao felt guilty in her heart, she felt that Cang Shizhu seemed to take special care of her, and he never hid his concern for her. But she couldn't guess Lin Xiuyuan's thoughts, he was always kind to her, which made her a little stunned.

Xue Zhao bowed to Cang Shizhu and said, "Xue Zhao is not thoughtful this time, and Lao Cang Gongzi is worried." Her tone was the same as Lin Xiuyuan's, Cang Shizhu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "You... Miss Yu would be happy to come back safely. In this case, Cang Mou didn't bother much, and later I sent some decoction to ward off the cold, and Miss Yu took a bowl to dispel the cold. ”

With that, he bowed to the crowd, bowed, and turned away.

Min Po sent him outside the courtyard gate, came in and closed the door, looking at the young lady's eyes just now, she had vaguely guessed her thoughts.
