Mother Chen was standing under the porch and heard a commotion in the room, and heard Ruan Shi calling her, so she hurriedly ran in.

Xiusun was covering her ears, grinning and screaming, woo, she was so wronged, her mother's own problem of getting angry was originally only aimed at her father and aunts, but now that it was her, she no longer dared to gloat.

Oops, oops, it hurts.

Seeing this, Chen's mother hurriedly stepped forward to protect Xiusun, and gently grabbed Ruan's wrist, "Mrs., Mrs., you let go first, you see that the child hurts." ”

Ruan Shi Fang was angry, and at this moment, he saw that Xiusun was so painful that tears came out, and his ears and half of his cheeks were red and red, so he withdrew his hand.

Chen's mother hurriedly took the opportunity to protect Xiusun behind her, and Xiusun hugged Chen's mother's strong waist and cried.

She is really hurt and wronged, woo, she has lived for two lifetimes, and the first time she twisted her ears, Xu Jingxing, if it weren't for you, wouldn't the old lady be there, woo.

Mother Chen helped Ruan Shi to sit on the Luohan bed, and then held the tea cup on the kang table and handed it to her, and said slowly, "Madam, Miss is not the one who doesn't understand, you can reason well, Miss will understand." ”

She didn't know what was going on, so she had to say this first and slow down the situation.

Ruan Shi looked up at Xiusun, Xiusun obediently pounced and knelt down again, Ruan saw her obedient and admit her mistake, half of her little face was red, her ears seemed to be swollen, and she was very distressed.

couldn't help but pat the kang and cry, "You are such a girl as a mother, you say, if you have a good one, how can you live for your mother." ”

Xiusun hurriedly walked over and took out a handkerchief to wipe Ruan's tears, crying, "Mother, I don't dare, I don't dare anymore." ”

Xiusun knew Ruan's worries, she should have sued Ruan as soon as possible, either to rescue or send to the official, and Ruan should have made the decision.

Instead of staying with an unknown and seriously injured foreign man for so long, her reputation and life may be ruined, seemingly saving people, but in fact it is equivalent to self-destruction.

This Qiē Xiusun understood that if this person was not Xu Jingxing, she would let the little magpie and Yingge watch the courtyard, and then notify Ruan Shi to come and deal with it, so as not to let people know that someone had broken into her hot springs, but also to protect her own safety.

However, that person was Xu Jingxing, the person she had to save, first, time was pressing, she was worried that he would bleed too much and die of serious injuries, and second, no matter whether the Wei Mansion was liquidated by the emperor or not, she couldn't let the Ruan family send him to the official mansion, otherwise how could Xu Jingxing explain to the local officials why he was hunted down and killed by a grandson of the Duke of Guo.

So, she had to cut it first.

Moreover, she has deduced many times in her heart, Xu Jingxing must recuperate for a few days, avoid pursuit, and it is definitely impossible to hide a big living person in this courtyard silently, this matter can't get around the Ruan family, and the Ruan family must be persuaded in order to protect Xu Jingxing.

She's ready to be beaten, woo, let's make the slap and the bamboo slice more violent.

The only thing I'm sorry for is the little magpie, she will try her best to protect her, but a beating is inevitable, but she can't care about it.

"It's a silent matter." Ruan has regained his composure, this child still deserves to be punished, and he will be punished heavily, but since Xiusun has not been hurt by that person, the most important thing at present is to protect Xiusun's reputation from being damaged.

"Who else knows about this?" Nguyen asked.

Xiusun hesitated and said, "There is also a little magpie, and I didn't let Yingge know." Then he hurriedly said for the little magpie, "Mother, she won't say anything, don't ...... it"

Ruan Shi raised his hand to stop her, "I know, she is your maid, she has always been loyal to you, I will not touch her, but I can't spare her this time." Now it's not the most important thing, you take me to the man first. ”

Xiusun heard Ruan's words and was relieved to know that the little magpie had been beaten up.

But Ruan Shi wanted to go to see Xu Jingxing, so she hurriedly stopped, "Mother, don't come forward in this matter." ”

Seeing Ruan's uncertain face, he hurriedly explained, "This person is so seriously injured that he can still sneak into our Zhuangzi silently, it can be seen that he is strong in martial arts, if we fight hard, we are definitely not opponents, it is better to transfer the manpower in the hot spring courtyard to other places, and the other one is as usual, only send some medicine, water and food every day, let him recuperate on his own, and he will naturally leave when he is injured." We don't ask who he is, and he doesn't have to know who we are. So as not to trouble in the future. "I have to say this first, I hope Xu Jingxing will be more angry, don't be hot.

Ruan Shi pondered for a moment, as if she was seriously thinking about what Xiusun said, "Okay," she sighed, "let the little magpie go and deliver medicine and food, she remembered this meal first." Sue the little magpie, if that person asks, he will say that we are passing by and staying in this courtyard, so that even if he knows that this Zhuangzi belongs to our family, he will not be able to determine our identity. If he didn't ask, there would be no need to say it, lest there be no three hundred taels of silver here. ”

This arrangement is very good, Xiusun nodded in response.

Unexpectedly, Ruan's words changed, "Early tomorrow morning, you will go with me to the nearby Zhuangzi to inspect, and this place will be handed over to Mother Chen and the little magpie." ”

"Mother!" Xiusun raised her head, she was really relieved.

Ruan Shi glared at her fiercely and said sharply, "Obedient!" ”

Xiusun immediately wilted, and wanted to climb to her side with Ruan's legs to be coquettish, but Ruan shouted, "Kneel for me honestly, and stretch out your hand." ”

Xiusun was puzzled, looked up, but saw Ruan Shi said solemnly, "The little magpie can be punished later, but you have to be punished today, Mother Chen, go and get the handle ring ruler." ”

Chen's mother looked at Ruan, and then at Xiusun, who was kneeling on the ground pitifully, and finally said nothing, turned around and went out.

Soon after, there was a wail in the house, and Chen's mother was not idle, and went to find the little magpie to ask for her life.

――I'm Xiusun.,This can be regarded as the dividing line of the two ribs.――

On the summer night of dog days, the wind was smoky and hot, and Xiusun approached the hot spring courtyard, only to feel the hot wind steaming all around her.

In the room where the little magpies made tea during the day, on the couch in the corner, there was a tall figure lying on its side, as if asleep, without moving.

Xiusun held the horn lamp, approached step by step, and saw an empty pastel plate of flowers and birds on the small pestle next to the couch, and there was a pot of cups on the side of the plate.

Actually finished eating, Xiusun pouted, he was not afraid of choking.

The dim light shone on his face, and he couldn't see his true face, but his lips were slightly pale.

Xiusun put the lantern of the sheep's horn palace on the small pestle and leaned over to take a closer look.

He had a bare back, gauze wrapped around his body, and a few bits of bright red oozed out of the gauze, and he looked very peaceful, wondering if Chen's mother had given him painkillers.

She gently brushed away the few strands of black hair that covered her face, revealing her closed eyes, her long, thick eyelashes hanging down slightly, like a crow's feather, taking advantage of his flawless skin to become even whiter.

The two deep nicks in the center of his eyebrows are still there, when Xiusun knew him, he loved to frown, and when he was a child, he looked a little funny and pretended to be old, but now he has added a little calm temperament.

Xiusun quietly put her little hand over his broad forehead, and her fingertips touched the tip of the little beauty.

At this moment, Xu Jingxing opened his eyes and saw Xiusun's deep eyes.

Suddenly looking at each other, both of them were stunned, the lights were dim, they could only see half of each other's faces clearly, and the distance was very close.

And such a posture is not ambiguous for a twenty-year-old man and a seven-year-old girl.

Xu Jingxing was very calm, looking directly into Xiusun's eyes, but Xiusun avoided his gaze with a weak heart.

"Do you know me?" Xu Jingxing looked directly at Xiusun inquiringly, not letting go of any change in her expression, her voice was cold and indifferent, still a little hoarse, but it regained her original calm and indifference.

Xiusun's heart sank, she didn't expect him to ask like this, and his sharp eyes forced her to break out in a cold sweat.

He used to look at people like this, as if nothing in this world could escape his eyes, and he was so proud that he was so proud that everyone owed him a few hundred taels of silver, and he had a lot of silver and didn't care at all, and you just owe him forever.

Xiusun froze, slowly raised her head and stared back at him, but she didn't say a word, as if she didn't understand what he meant.

Xu Jingxing still didn't seem to be dead, he took a deep breath and said slowly, "First, why didn't you report to the official, second, why did you treat my injuries in person without inviting a doctor, and third, why did you come to see me now." ”

He was still staring at her, speaking eloquently, clearly, concisely.

Xiusun felt cold sweat running down her back, this person was never simple, he didn't have time to think in the afternoon, but now it's all over the place, she thought of everything when she saved people, but there was no way to avoid his suspicion.

Yes, a girl who is not yet sensible is not afraid at all when she sees a man covered in blood falling from the sky, and she saves his life without hesitation, and knows that he can't ask the doctor to keep all kinds of secret arrangements, this qiē is indeed very weird. There is no explanation other than knowing him in the first place.

However, how to dispel his suspicions, even if he tells him "I am actually your cousin's resurrection of the corpse", he will feel that she is playing him like a child, which is insincere.

Xiusun slowly tilted her head, restrained her expression to resist the high pressure ejaculating from his indifferent eyes, and tried to look at him with idiot eyes, "Uncle, don't you ever read a book?" It's all written in the book.,Not only can't you report to the official to find a doctor.,But you also have to hide the son who was seriously injured and suddenly broke in in his bathtub.。 ”

She tried to pull out an innocent smile and try to say Fang Cai's words in a tone that said, "The lion's head is delicious."

Sure enough, she found that Xu Jingxing's expression became a little weird, she seemed to be confused, she seemed to be regretful, she couldn't seem to believe it, but she couldn't think of any other explanation.

Xu Jingxing looked at the round little girl in front of him, the thinning hair on her head was barely tied into two bags, and she looked stupid, it didn't seem like she was lying to him, but he just felt unbelievable.

Xiusun saw that he seemed to be beginning to believe this explanation, and knew that he had to believe it, because compared to borrowing a corpse to resurrect a soul, this explanation could not be more realistic.

She didn't have time to wait for him to be completely convinced, let alone for him to grasp a new suspicion, before touching his forehead, there was no fever, Xiusun was a little relieved, and asked him another important question, "Will someone chase you here?" She knew that Nguyen must have made all the preparations, but she was very worried about this problem.

Xu Jingxing glanced at her, turned his gaze to the roof again, and sighed softly, "Don't be afraid, there won't be any more." ”

In this way, the person who chased and killed him was at least not from the imperial court, Xiusun breathed a sigh of relief, took off the purse around his waist, and handed it to him, "I'm leaving tomorrow, there are some cool pills here, bezoar detoxification pills, Huoxiang Zhengqi water, you ...... Take care of yourself. "The purse is embroidered by the maid anyway, and it will be given to him.

She placed her purse beside him and turned to pick up the horn lamp.

Xu Jingxing didn't finish speaking, when he saw that the little girl was leaving, he grabbed her little hand, but he heard the little girl's "oops" cry in pain, and it was so hot that he shook off his hand.

Looking at the left hand he had just grabbed through the dim light, the palm was bruised and swollen like a steamed bun, and then looked closely at the little girl's face, only to find that the side hidden in the shadows was also a little swollen.

Was he beaten, he was beaten because he saved him?

Seeing the little girl pursed her mouth aggrievedly, her round eyes seemed to be red, and she felt a little distressed.

He raised his hand, lovingly rubbed the little girl's forehead, and whispered to her, "Don't read the book in the future, it's all made up by bad people to deceive children, if someone suddenly breaks into your house, you will run, you know?" ”

Xiusun's nose was sour when she heard this, and she almost cried, Ke Xuan and Ke Min both went, I also went, and the imperial grandmother also went. Xu Jingxing, you have to take care and live well.

"Got it." She sniffled and nodded heavily.

"What's your name?" Xu Jingxing finished rubbing her head and pinched her chubby cheeks, completely unaware that his behavior was slighting a girl whose inner soul was almost twenty years old.

Xiusun was stunned for a moment, and then replied in a daze, "Brother Zhao, my name is Brother Zhao." ”

The wife and the old lady call her Ah Sun every day, isn't it just recruiting a brother, well, she is a good child and doesn't lie.
