Zhen Baolu is a girl who has not left the cabinet, and the news of her disappearance should not be publicized, otherwise she will find someone, and her reputation will be ruined. He only said that his daughter was unwell and needed him to take care of her. Zhen Rusong's reputation for pampering his daughter is also known to everyone in the imperial city, so naturally no one will doubt it.
Zhen Rusong's face was calm, and he was already very anxious. He went into the house and looked at the bed that had lifted up the bed tent, and now there was only a brocade quilt embroidered on it.
At this moment, there was a rush of footsteps outside.
Zhen Rusong turned his head and looked at the visitor, his eyes lit up.
"Chenglang, let my brother."
Xu Chenglang's face was slightly propped up, and he arched his hand: "Rashly broke into my cousin's boudoir, please forgive my nephew for being rude." β
At this time, Zhen Rusong is more accountant. However, he was also surprised that his two nephews were so well informed. He said, "It's out of the way, you guys are also kind." β
Xue Rang's eyebrows were cold, he glanced at the bed, and asked, "Uncle, I don't know when you found out that your cousin was missing?" β
The peach with red eyes on the side spoke: "The girl slept uncomfortably yesterday, and she fell asleep very late." This morning, the slave and sister Xianghan were preparing breakfast outside, and when Mama Zhu went in to call the girl up, she found that the girl was gone. Xiang Tao was timid, and cried as she spoke, "It is said that there are beasts in this Yufeng Mountain, is our girl ...... by beasts?"
"Nonsense!"
Zhen Rusong immediately scolded, and he was also scared in his heart.
Xue Rang also said: "No." He pondered Xianghan's words, walked over to the slightly open window, and asked, "Is this window always open?" β
As if she had thought of something, Mama Zhu stepped forward and said, "When the old slave came in, the window was already open. β
Xianghan said: "The girl is afraid of the cold, and this window is closed by the slave maid herself, unless the girl gets up and opens the window at night." β
This is obviously impossible.
Xue Rang looked out the window and saw a blank of snow outside. The snow is still falling, and even if there is any trace, it has long been hidden. He took a deep breath and told himself to calm down, then looked down and noticed the powder left by the window. He dipped his fingertips and sniffed at the tip of his nose.
Zhen Rusong also walked over and said, "This is ......" His eyes widened when he landed, "I actually used this dirty method!" "Now, Zhen Rusong naturally knows that his daughter was taken away by someone who was stunned with incense.
Xue Rang his eyebrows were cold, and then he turned over and walked out of the window.
Xu Chenglang was anxious, looked at Xue Rang who went out through the window, turned to Zhen Rusong and said, "My nephew is also going to find Cousin Lu." β
Β·
Zhen Baolu originally felt groggy and couldn't open her eyes. When I felt myself tumbling from a high place and my body was in pain, I managed to open my eyes wide.
She was clearly sleeping on the bed in the guest room, and when she opened her eyes, she saw a white expanse, and there seemed to be the neighing of horses in her ears.
She turned her head sideways and watched the brown horse run farther and farther away until it faded out of sight.
Zhen Baolu took a deep breath, her limbs were already frozen and unconscious. She was only wearing bedclothes, because the garden was a little cold, so she wore a thicker set when she slept at night. No matter how thick it is, it's just a bedgown.
Zhen Baolu shivered from the cold, looking at the horses in the distance and the strips of cloth that fell on the ground, she had already guessed what was going on.
- She was tied to the horse's back with strips of cloth, and it was only here that she fell off the horse.
Zhen Baolu sat up with her hands on her hands and looked around, but it was full of white snow and trees, and she couldn't recognize where it was. Zhen Baolu became scared at this time. Although she had a hard time in her previous life, she never suffered this kind of crime in the end, and in this life she was finally able to live a peaceful and stable life, her father and younger brothers were there, but she encountered such a thing.
Who was trying to harm her?
Zhen Baolu thought carefully. thought of Zhen Baozhang, but she knew that this was the Royal Garden, and Zhen Baozhang didn't have the heart or the ability.
So......
Zhen Baolu's frozen purple lips fluttered slightly, and she probably guessed it in her heart. She hugged her body hard, but it was so cold outside, if she didn't go back, she would freeze to death here sooner or later.
It was really vicious, so that she was stunned and tied to a horse, and it was such weather, in this barren and populated mountain, she was a girl's house, even if she didn't freeze to death, if she didn't pay attention and fell off the horse, she would probably die under the horse's hooves.
She was a little luckier, she moved, there was no place to fall, but her hands and feet were broken and bleeding, and it was cold, and the wound was quickly frozen and scabbed.
Zhen Baolu shuddered, took a deep breath, and knew that if she waited for others to find her like this, she would be frozen to death sooner or later, so she got up and walked a few steps. Although it was cold, I was able to move forward slowly. But she didn't know she was there.
She remembered that she was still in the room when Yinzheng was in the room, and if it was already bright today, she would have a certain distance from the farewell garden. But at this time, Zhu Mama and Xianghan must have found that she was gone, and they would definitely tell SΓΉ Daddy to look for her. It is the most difficult to find someone on a snowy day, what traces, as soon as the snow is covered, you can't see it, and her father is worried about her death, and he can only look for her like a headless fly.
Zhen Baolu regretted it a little.
If she really died this time, then she didn't have a good filial piety to her father in this life, although her relationship with her mother was estranged, but she was her mother in the end, and she should be a little nicer to her. And her sister, if she dies like this, this time her sister's family affairs will be delayed again. She hasn't seen Brother Shang and Brother Rong grow up, and she hasn't seen them marry a daughter-in-law......
Zhen Baolu thinks about this, so she can have more willpower to persevere.
And, herself.
In her life, she just wants to marry a husband who is down-to-earth and takes care of her family, and now she has finally reached the age where she can say that she is close, and her relatives have not been decided. Xue Rang liked her, and she gradually began not to reject him, and she also cared about him a little in her heart. If she dies, Xue Rang will definitely be sad, but it won't be long before she gets married. That Zhou Huanting has been relying on him and has not married for a long time, if she leaves, wouldn't it just be as she wished? There is no Zhou Huanting, and the person who harmed her.
The more Zhen Baolu thought about it, the more she felt that she couldn't die so lightly.
She believes in her father's ability, and she also believes in Xue Rang's ability. They're sure to find her.
Zhen Baolu walked with one foot and one foot shallow, holding her body tightly with both hands, feeling that she had been walking for a long time, and when she turned her head to look, it was only a short distance.
She looked at her footprints in the snow and knew that with her abilities, she couldn't get out at all. She gave up and continued to move forward, looked around, and suddenly saw a stout tree not far away, the big tree had formed a tree hole because of the years, Zhen Baolu looked at the tree hole, and walked over with a light eye, and then squatted down and hid in.
At this time, Zhen Baolu was glad that she was shorter, and this tree hole could accommodate her.
The leeward of the tree cave, although still cold and biting, made her suffer less from the cold wind. She rubbed her hands together vigorously over her face, then rubbed her legs, which were becoming cold and stiff. But there are no things to keep out the cold, these are the symptoms but not the root cause, and they can't be warmed no matter how they rub them.
In the end, Zhen Baolu could only lie curled up in the tree hole, shivering, and no longer had the strength to move.
In a trance, Zhen Baolu thought of some things from her previous life-
She remembers that winter, when the snow covered the mountain. She was rare and kind enough to save a man in rags and beard on the mountain behind Lingfeng Temple. She had always been selfish, and no other girl had a good heart, but she didn't know what was going on that day, and when she looked at the frozen man, she suddenly felt compassion. This time she really felt it, and only then did she think about how good it would be if someone could save her at this time.
Zhen Baolu lay quietly for a long time, so long that she felt that she couldn't hold it anymore. When she finally closed her eyes, she heard someone calling out to her.
Who?
She pursed her lips and wanted to say that she was here, but when she opened her mouth, she was so cold that she couldn't even make a sound.
Xue Rang was not far away, with a lot of snow on his hair and body, his face was gloomy, and he was covered with wolves.
He quietly looked at the traces falling on the snow, and looked at the series of deep and shallow footprints that had not yet been buried, and then followed the footprints all the way forward......
When he got to the bottom of the big tree, he looked at the girl huddled in the hollow of the tree, and his eyes widened.
I saw her holding herself tightly with both hands, like an abandoned little animal, lying there pitifully, motionless.
Xue Rang trembled his hands, then knelt down and hugged the person: "Alu, Alu......"
The little girl's body was cold, and there seemed to be no trace of warmth on her body. Xue Rang unbuttoned his clothes, wrapped her body in, touched her face with his lips, and called softly, "Alu, Alu." β
Feeling a burst of warmth, Zhen Baolu couldn't help but stick it over.
She heard Xue Rang's voice, slowly opened her eyes to look at him, as if she had cried, the eyelashes stained with tears froze into frost, and slowly trembled a few times before she pursed her lips and said aggrievedly: "...... You're finally here. She pressed her cheek against his chest, "I thought I was going to die." β
Xue Rang stroked her face, his chest fell together, he took a long breath, and said, "It's me who is late." β
Zhen Baolu shook her head gently.
She has always been picky, and she has always been dissatisfied here and there, but at this time, she doesn't blame him at all. If something happens to her this time, my father will definitely order many people to look for her. But there were so many people, but he found her.
The corners of Zhen Baolu's mouth curled, her cheek pressed against his hot chest, she turned her face to the side slightly, and gently touched his heart with her lip flap. She was very, very grateful that he had found herself.
Xue Rang didn't notice her small movements, and waited for her body to recover slightly before putting on the cloak on her next. Zhen Baolu saw that she was wrapped around her like a zongzi, and even her head was tightly wrapped, and she muttered in a trembling voice.
Xue Rang smiled, knowing that she loved beauty and where she had received such treatment, so he comforted: "First, I'll take you to find a place to rest." He wrapped her tightly before he stooped down and lifted her on his back.
Zhen Baolu lay on his back, only feeling that his back was broad and strong, which made her feel very steady.
She leaned on his shoulder and muttered, "Can I sleep for a while?" β
Xue Rang carried the person on his back, looked around for a place to rest, and listened to the low voice of the little girl behind him, so he frowned and said, "Don't sleep, let's talk." β
Zhen Baolu said "um", thinking that he gave her his clothes, and said with concern: "Big cousin, are you cold?" I'll give you my garment. Even though she was wearing his clothes, she still felt cold at this moment, but it was much better than just now.
But I heard him say lightly: "It's okay, I'm not cold." β
Zhen Baolu suddenly remembered what Xue Yifang told her, saying that her eldest brother has a strong body, and he gets up every morning to practice boxing, and he is shirtless in winter.
At this time, he was relieved to hear him say that he was not cold.
It's just that Zhen Baolu saw his frozen red ears, so she stretched out her hands from the cloak and covered his ears, and noticed that his steps paused, and she said: "If you freeze again, you will have frostbite." This chilblain gave birth once, and it will give birth every year after that. β
Zhen Baolu has never had chilblains herself. These ears and hands are the most prone to chilblains, the girl's family loves beauty, where can she stand these? In winter, Zhen Baolu will naturally listen to Mama Zhu's words and protect herself. But thinking that she has been frozen for so long, I am afraid that this frostbite is inevitable. Fang was still thinking that as long as she could live, but now she thought that her hands and face might have chilblains, and her heart became upset.
Xue Rang's heart warmed and said, "I'm a man, it's okay to have chilblains, you quickly put your hand back." "It's true that he doesn't matter, but she's different, she's a girl's family.
Zhen Baolu no longer had a heart or lungs, and at this time she was also grateful for his kindness to her, so she only withdrew her cold little hand, rubbed it hot, and then covered his ears. Repeatedly, his ears and her hands would be better.
There was a creaking sound in her ears, and Zhen Baolu was relieved that Xue Rang carried her on her back, and finally found a sheltered cave with great difficulty.
Xue Rang carefully put the person down, looked at her cheeks carefully, looked at her purple lips from the cold, frowned, and said, "You sit for a while, I'll go make a fire, and it will be warm immediately." β
Zhen Baolu is pampered, even if she has never done rough work in her previous life, she obediently responds, looking at Xue Rang looking for firewood, and after a while, the fire will be lit, and the movements are very familiar, which makes her feel more and more that this big cousin is too capable.
The soft light of the fire jumped and hit the handsome angular face of the man, who was wearing only a thin shirt, and at this moment the man's sturdy lines were all revealed, and just looking at it made people feel red and heartbeat.
With such a man here, any girl will feel very down-to-earth.
She was looking at him, and he only looked down to make a fire, and only when he felt her gaze did he raise his head, just in front of her eyes.
Her eyes were already beautiful, clear and smart, but now they reflected the burning fire, which was even more dazzling. Xue Rang was stunned, then bent his lips slightly, and asked softly, "Is it warmer?" β
Zhen Baolu nodded "um": "It's much better." β
Xue Rang sat down beside her, thought for a while, and then asked, "Where are you hurt?" There was a difference between men and women, and although he was worried, it was not good to untie her clothes and check them like this.
When Zhen Baolu heard this, her cheeks turned red, she lowered her head embarrassedly, and whispered, "It's okay." "Those little abrasions, of course, are nothing, and there is no plaster here, so we have to go back and talk about it. She knew he cared about him, but those places were not good for him to see.
Xue Rang looked at her, and was naturally relieved. He looked down at her slender hand, his fingers were a little red from the cold, and before he could recover from it, he didn't ask her what she meant, but reached out and grabbed it, and put it in his arms.
Zhen Baolu hurriedly went to see him, but did not withdraw his hand.
Under the palm is a warm and firm chest, and the thought of her just being in his arms like this, Zhen Baolu feels that her cheeks are burning. At that time, she didn't care about this, but now that she thinks about it, she is embarrassed. So at this moment, just his hands were held in his arms, and Zhen Baolu was embarrassed to talk to him again.
But it's really warm. She quietly raised her head and glanced at him, thinking to herself that she didn't expect her eldest cousin to be so hurtful.
If he marries his daughter-in-law, he will definitely love his daughter-in-law so much, right? It should be even better than this.
After covering her hands, Xue Rang glanced at her feet covered under her robe and said, "Let's cover your feet too." β
Yes, he really thinks of himself as a soup woman, although he is indeed much more comfortable than a soup woman when he covers it. Zhen Baolu was so embarrassed that she hurriedly withdrew her hands, covered her feet with her robe, and stopped: "No need, your feet are not cold." β
It's false to say it's not cold, and the coldest thing in the whole body is the feet. But where can she let Xue Rang cover her feet?
This time, Xue Rang rarely didn't listen to her, lifted the robe on her body and took off her socks neatly, but when she looked at her delicate and small snow-white jade feet, she couldn't help but be stunned, and then staggered her eyes and covered her feet on her stomach.
Zhen Baolu looked at him with her eyes open, and said in her heart that he was really addicted.
But the soles of the feet are warm and warm, and they are indeed very comfortable. Zhen Baolu is not hypocritical, since he wants to be a soup woman, then she should treat him as a soup woman.
She tilted her head to look at him, and when her feet were warm, she moved a few times comfortably, and her toes gently rubbed against his stomach, but Xue Rang could eat her like this, although some things were out of place at this time, but he was a man, and some things were not something he could control.
He looked up at her, and saw that her little face was finally a little rosy, and there was a smile between her eyebrows, as if she was not afraid of the situation at all. And no matter how tightly she was wrapped in his clothes, it was difficult to hide the little girl's delicate body. She was like this, clung to his chest, soft against his abdomen, her lips gently rubbing against his skin. Just thinking about it, Xue Rang became hot, his throat moved a few times, and he didn't look at her anymore for a while, only slightly moved his gaze to the side, thinking about today's events.
After thinking about it, I finally calmed down.
Neither of them spoke, Zhen Baolu was just covered by him for her, and she enjoyed it, but after a while, she gradually felt that something was wrong, and she couldn't help biting her lip.
Noticing that she was silent and her toes were not so naughty, Xue Rang looked at her face again.
saw her little face drooping and her brows frowned, so she thought about what was wrong with her, so she asked, "Ah Lu, what's wrong with you?" β
Zhen Baolu bit her lower lip, raised her eyes slightly, and looked at the nervous big man in front of her with big wet eyes, looking unspeakable.
Xue Rang asked again.
Zhen Baolu lowered her head at this time, her little face turned red, and she said as if she was dead: "I...... I want to go to the toilet. β
