Zhen Baolu was helped inside by Xue Rang. There was a large rock in the innermost part of the cave, which could hold you back.

Zhen Baolu felt that she had never been so embarrassed in her two lives combined, but in the end, she was in a hurry, and when she saw that Xue Rang was out, she hurriedly squatted down.

There was a small pool not far away, the water was clear, Zhen Baolu cleaned his hands after finishing and looked towards the entrance of the cave. Xue Rang hadn't come in yet, she sat down by the fire again, watching the warm firelight shine on her face. It took a while before I heard movement outside. Zhen Baolu raised his eyes and saw him coming in, so he hurriedly lowered his head, took the firewood on the side, and added it to the fire.

Then Xue Rangqing's deep voice came from overhead: "The snow is covering the mountain, we are going to stay here for one night." I'll go out and see if I can catch a pheasant or a hare, and get you something to eat." ”

Zhen Baolu is not surprised, she will stay one night and stay with him, she has nothing to worry about.

He didn't mention it, and the embarrassment on Zhen Baolu's face dissipated a lot for a while. She nodded and said, "Yes." "She was hungry. Just finished speaking, and said, "Big cousin, be careful." ”

Xue Rang looked at her like this, and her ears were a little hot. Although he was standing outside, he didn't worry about her, he only stood on the edge of the hole, and if she had anything to do, he would go in as soon as possible. There was an echo in the cave, and he was a martial arts practitioner with a keen sense of hearing, so the sound of the water could naturally be heard clearly.

He looked indifferent and said, "Well, I'll be back soon." Looking at her nervously adding firewood, she smiled slightly, "Don't keep adding firewood, it's not good if the fire is too big." ”

After saying that, he strode out.

When she couldn't hear his footsteps at all, Zhen Baolu raised her head, she looked at the entrance of the cave, there was no one, so she looked down at the fire in front of her. Thinking of Xue Rang's words, he didn't continue to add Chai He.

The mood calmed down a little, but after coming over for a while, seeing that Xue Rang didn't come back for a long time, Zhen Baolu couldn't sit still anymore.

No matter how lively and intelligent she is on weekdays, but she is still young, and she is always afraid when she encounters this kind of thing today. I thought to myself, what if something happened to him? Although in her eyes, this eldest cousin is powerful in everything, but in the end, he is also an ordinary person, if he encounters any beast...... The more Zhen Baolu thought about it, the more uneasy she became, she stretched her neck to take a look, and when she heard movement outside, she walked over with the wide cloak draped on her body.

Winter days always get dark quickly, and now it was already dark outside, and she listened to the creaking of the snow, and watched the tall man come this way, with two hares in his left hand and a pheasant in his right.

She smiled happily and called out "big cousin" in a crisp voice.

Xue Rang didn't expect her to come out, watching her stand quietly at the entrance of the cave, and suddenly for a moment, he felt like a little wife waiting for her husband to return home. He approached, looked at her flushed face, and said, "Let's go in quickly." ”

Zhen Baolu saw what he was carrying in his hand, and he also wanted to help, but he couldn't do it when he saw the hare pheasant dying. Xue Rang knew her thoughts and said, "Just go over and sit." ”

Oh.

Zhen Baolu went back to sit and watched him slaughter and clean the internal organs, skewer them, and roast them on the fire, and his movements were very skillful.

When it was baking, Zhen Baolu couldn't help but say, "Big cousin, how can you do anything?" ”

In the past, she always felt that a man with a good temperament, a good family background, and good looks like Xu Chenglang was already perfect, but after getting to know Xue Rang, she found that nothing seemed to be difficult for him. What she knows, what she doesn't know, he knows it all.

Xue Rang roasted the hare and pheasant, and rolled up his sleeves to reveal the strong muscles of his forearms.

He turned his head to look at her, and saw her sitting beside him with her chin propped up, although she was not as elaborately dressed as usual, but her black glow was remarkable, hanging quietly, and her little face was extraordinarily delicate. He said, "...... I'll do it all, so you don't have to learn. ”

Zhen Baolu was stunned.

Then he hurriedly looked away and urged, "You hurry up and roast." ”

When he said yes, he stopped talking, but there was a rare smile on his eyebrows and eyes, and it didn't go away for a long time.

Zhen Baolu was already very hungry, although there were no condiments for these game, but fortunately, Xue Rang's craftsmanship was good, and the roast was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, plus the meat was delicious, Zhen Baolu ate half a pheasant and a rabbit leg. And Xue Rang is a man with a big appetite, so he will leave the rest to him.

With a full stomach, Xue Rang took some branches to block the entrance to the cave, turned back, and said to the little girl sitting on the ground: "It's not early, go to sleep." ”

After tossing for a day, Zhen Baolu was indeed sore and weak, and now she filled her stomach again, thinking about getting a good night's sleep. She looked at the cloak she was wrapping around herself, thinking that she didn't like the bed in the guest room of the other garden last night, and she didn't expect the retribution to come so quickly, so she immediately let her taste the taste of sleeping in the open.

She lay down, looked at him, and saw that he had also looked over, so she obediently said "um", and immediately closed her eyes and fell asleep.

In the end, it was a little girl, and she fell asleep when she said she was asleep. Xue Rang stood aside, and when she fell asleep, he walked over slowly and squatted down.

He raised his hand to straighten her hair, and when he saw her huddle in a ball, he turned the fire on the side to the fire. The spark crackled, it was not warm enough to be far away, and when it was close, it was worried that it would splash on her, Xue Rang was not at ease, and he couldn't close his eyes, so he simply sat beside her and guarded her.

Seeing that she frowned slightly, sleeping as if she was uncomfortable, Xue Rang thought, it was indeed uncomfortable to sleep like this without a pillow. He slowly lifted his hand, resting her palm under her head, and slowly moved her head to his lap. Pillowed on his thighs, her eyebrows and eyes stretched a little, and she rubbed a few times very comfortably.

Zhen Baolu didn't sleep well, and when she woke up the next day, she felt a sore neck, and she couldn't turn back, and it hurt when she turned.

And as soon as she moved, Xue Rang woke up, looked at her appearance, and said with concern: "Stiff neck?" ”

Zhen Baolu nodded. No, she slept too high last night, but she didn't know it, and when she woke up, she found herself on his lap.

Xue Rang hurriedly said, "I'll rub it for you." He put his hand on the back of her neck, touching the delicate and warm flow, and then paused for a moment to look into her eyes, "Done?" ”

Zhen Baolu glanced at him, and at this time, he knew what she meant. But last night they spent the night in the cave, and nothing happened, but they couldn't explain it clearly. She didn't care very much, after all, if it weren't for Xue Rang, her little life would have been gone a long time ago, and where would there be any innocence.

She said, "No need. I'll see it's dawn outside, so let's go back quickly. ”

Xue Rang withdrew his hand: "It's okay." ”

Then he reached out and helped her up.

The road outside was not easy to walk, and Xue Rang didn't plan to let her go, so he carried the person up when he walked to the entrance of the cave. The girl's family is petite and light, and for Xue Rang, it has no weight at all. Zhen Baolu was afraid that she was too heavy at first, but Xue Rang carried her on her back, walking steadily step by step, and her breath was also very calm, not at all as if she was carrying a person.

Thinking about it, her eldest cousin's body was even better than she thought.

Zhen Baolu was lying on his back, thinking about the sons and brothers in the imperial city who were arrogant all day long, and felt more and more that a down-to-earth and capable person like her eldest cousin was the most rare. It's just that her eldest cousin is good anywhere, but he looks too peach blossoms, and there was a Zhou Huanting who didn't say anything before, but now another one has taken a fancy to her.

She felt bored and didn't want to speak.

Xue Rang also felt it. When he carried her yesterday, she spoke to him softly and covered his ears, but now she didn't say a word. Could it be that you are angry? Xue Rang pondered carefully, and couldn't think of where he made her unhappy, but the good girl's family, after experiencing this experience, and staying in the cave with him all night, would indeed be wronged in her heart.

He also didn't speak quietly, and then coughed lightly and called her, "Cousin Lu." ”

"Huh?"

She answered, her head seemed to be tilted to his right shoulder, and the breath she exhaled brushed on the side of his face, and the scent on his body rushed to the door of his head. "My ears are a little cold," he said. ”

Zhen Baolu's eyes widened, this was the first time she had heard him say cold. A dignified man, who loves face, is cold and hurts, and he will say that it's okay, especially in front of the girl he likes.

At this time, he said that it was cold, and he thought it was really cold. Zhen Baolu was worried, her eldest cousin was a mortal fetus, but he was not beaten by iron, and he might catch a cold. She rubbed her hands together, covered his ears, looked sideways at him, and asked, "Is this better?" ”

She was in a hurry, close to her, and trembling as she walked on her back, and her cheeks and lips swept gently over the side of his face from time to time.

But she was only worried about him, and she didn't seem to notice it.

Xue Rang stumbled deliberately, her lips pressed tightly against his face, and she slammed it hard, as if she was taking the initiative to kiss him.

Thanks to the fact that they did not face each other. Xue Rangjun's face was hot, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he said, "It's much better." ”

How much better is that?

Zhen Baolu frowned tightly, still not at ease: "Big cousin, why don't you let me down." "He had always walked steadily on his back on her back, but he almost fell! I'm afraid it's really cold.

Xue Rang continued to talk nonsense cheekily, and said, "It's really okay, you just cover it for me like you did yesterday." ”

Zhen Baolu was suspicious, so she hummed and obediently covered his ears for him, and then saw that he walked smoothly and steadily, and there was indeed nothing wrong, so he was finally relieved.

said that Zhen Rusong led the attendants to find a whole night, and he hasn't closed his eyes until now. And the Changning Marquis Mansion, the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion and the Anguo Mansion, which are usually good friends, have also sent people out to look for them. If he was still concerned about his daughter's reputation at the beginning, then now Zhen Rusong has only one thought in his heart, which is to find his daughter.

Xu Chenglang led a few people to look for it separately. He doesn't eat or sleep, if Zhen Rusong is the most worried, then Xu Chenglang is undoubtedly the second. Seeing that Zhen Rusong was worried and anxious, Xu Chenglang stepped forward and said, "Uncle don't worry about Cousin Lu's reputation, as long as Cousin Lu can come back this time, my nephew will come to the door immediately to propose marriage." ”

That time he was rejected by Zhen Baolu in the academy, Xu Chenglang was indeed depressed for a long time, and he was also a little frustrated and retreated. But now he understood that no matter how much his little cousin rejected him, he could not back down, and he believed that he could impress her with sincerity. When she was a child, she was able to rely on herself so much, and he was confident that he could make her rely on her for the rest of her life.

Zhen Rusong was a little surprised, looking at the tall and thin nephew in front of him, he also admired it.

When he was a child, he treated his daughter well, and he saw it in his eyes, and now when he heard him say this, he was naturally moved in his heart. After all, he understands this nephew's temperament, and being able to say this at this time shows that he is sincere to his daughter.

But Zhen Rusong is not a confused person, no matter what his daughter's relatives are, he has to ask her what he means. He said: "Chenglang, I understand your intentions. But for now, I just want to find Alu. ”

Xu Chenglang naturally understood, nodded and said, "Okay, nephew will go out to find it again." ”

Zhen Rusong also knew that he hadn't closed his eyes all night, so he said: "You better go and rest for a while, if Ah Lu knows, he will not be happy in his heart." ”

Xu Chenglang shook his head, he refused to rest. He said: "I can't find Cousin Lu, I'm not worried, uncle, you can rest here for a while, and I'll go out to find it again." ”

Zhen Rusong looked at Xu Chenglang hurriedly going out, and he was helpless, so he could only let him go.

When Xu Chenglang went out, he happened to meet Xu Xiuxin and Shen Shenyu. Xu Xiuxin knew that her eldest brother hadn't slept all night in order to find Zhen Baolu, although she didn't like Zhen Baolu on weekdays, but in the end, she was a cousin, and she didn't want her to have an accident, so she stepped forward and asked, "Big brother, hasn't Cousin Lu been found yet?" ”

Xu Chenglang shook his head.

Xu Xiuxin frowned and muttered: "It is said that it is a scourge that lasts for a thousand years, and her mouth is so poisonous on weekdays, she will definitely be safe." This cousin is noisy on weekdays, and Xu Xiuxin is jealous that she is beautiful and popular in women's school, but now that she has an accident, she is really worried.

Xu Chenglang didn't speak, so he went out to look for someone again.

Shen Shenyu looked at Xu Chenglang and ignored him, thinking of Zhen Baolu in his heart, such a gentle and elegant person on weekdays, he even forgot the etiquette at this time. Her cheeks sank and she stopped talking.

Xu Xiuxin saw that she was angry, so she said good things for her eldest brother and said, "Sister Shen, don't be angry, my eldest brother is just worried about Cousin Lu." After all...... After all, we are relatives. She knew that her eldest brother liked Zhen Baolu, but she couldn't say this in front of Shen Shenyu.

Shen Shenyu smiled slightly and said, "I'm not angry. She looked at Xu Xiuxin and said, "Alu will definitely be fine." ”

Xu Xiuxin felt that Shen Shenyu was generous and decent, and she appreciated it more and more, this girl was worthy of her eldest brother, so she nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, otherwise I will find someone to fight with in the future." ”

Shen Shenyu looked at Xu Xiuxin in front of her, and only felt that she was hypocritical, and she was not talking.

And Xu Chenglang walked all the way out of the garden, and after walking for a while, he saw a figure on the hillside not far away, walking towards this side.

When he got a little closer, he recognized that it was Xue Rang, and he seemed to be carrying a person on his back.

Xu Chenglang immediately realized something, hurriedly ran over, and saw that the person on Xue Rang's back was really Zhen Baolu, and then said excitedly: "Alu." ”

Zhen Baolu raised her eyes, saw Xu Chenglang's worried look, and saw his haggard face, and her heart was roughly clear. She smiled and thanked, "Cousin Xu, I've worried you." ”

Xu Chenglang smiled, looking at her living appearance, not to mention how happy he was. He couldn't help but imagine what happened to her several times, and regretted why he didn't protect him, and now he was relieved to see that she was so decent.

Although he didn't like Xue Rang, at this time, he looked at Xue Rang, who was dressed thinly, and said sincerely: "Thank you." ”

Thank you for bringing her back.

looked at Xue Rang's look like he had been carrying it for a long time, and reached out to pick it up: "I'll come." ”

Xue Rang was expressionless and said, "No need, I'll take Alu back first." He carried her on his back and did not hand anyone over to him.

Xu Chenglang withdrew his hand in embarrassment, but he was happy in his heart, kept a smile on his face, muttered "Great", and chased after him quickly.

Zhen Rusong watched Xue Rang bring his daughter back, a dignified man, and almost cried with excitement. Mama Zhu, who was still on the side, reminded: "Grandpa Guo, let the old slave take the six girls in to change their clothes first, and find a doctor to take a look." ”

Xianghan and Xiangtao had already cried and red-eyed, but now they were very excited when they saw that their girls had come back safely. It was the first time for Zhen Baolu to see her father nervous like this, so she smiled and pinched his face, and said, "Daddy, my daughter is fine, don't worry." ”

Zhen Rusong let go and asked Mama Zhu to take her back to the room.

Zhen Baolu comforted her father, turned her head sideways, and glanced at Xue Rang, who hadn't had time to change her clothes, before returning to the room.

Zhen Rusong's eyes were slightly wet, and he was excited by the feeling of being lost and regained. He looked at Xue Rang, who was wearing a thin middle coat in front of him, and thought of the girl who had just been wrapped tightly, and he was very grateful in his heart, and said, "This time, thanks to you." Uncle doesn't know how to thank you. ”

Xue Rang said with a humble face: "This is what a nephew should do." ”

He looked at Zhen Rusong in front of him, thought about it, and then picked up his robe and knelt down, and said word by word: "My nephew wants to ask my uncle to marry Cousin Lu, and I hope that my uncle will be fulfilled." ”
