CHAPTER XXXI

"Tick, tick, tick......"

There seemed to be the sound of water dripping in my ears.

The voice was staggered, like a heavenly sound, and suddenly dragged Li Chen'an's thoughts floating in the clouds back.

He still felt sleepy, but he forced himself to open his eyes.

What caught his eye was that familiar face.

It's just that the face is more haggard than ever, like a peach blossom in Jiangxie, the petals are slightly curled, and the flower color is slightly white and slightly withered.

She is Zhongli Ruoshui.

She sat right in front of the bed, her elbows on the edge of the bed, her hands on her chin.

The eyes that were once clearer than Peach Blossom Creek became a little cloudy, so they lost their previous charm.

Her eyes are sad, worried, and expectant.

She hung her head, and suddenly seemed to feel the temperature of Li Chen'an's gaze falling on her face, she raised her head and looked at Li Chen'an.

So, a flower bloomed in front of Li Chen'an-

She was startled at first, then her eyes suddenly brightened, then her slightly pale face flushed, and finally, the corners of her mouth curled, her eyebrows curved, and a very low but heavy sentence floated out of her small mouth:

"You're finally awake!"

You're finally awake.

How much worry did she have in these relieved words?

She is the third lady of Zhongli Mansion, and she has an identity that few people can hardly reach, but she actually has a heavy concern for herself.

This kind of emotion is something that Li Chenan did not have in his previous life.

In his previous life, he was concerned about another person, but his affection was like a river.

I am very lucky in this life.

I am lucky to be able to meet a woman who has a deep affection for me.

He stretched out a hand from the quilt, brushed the hair scattered between Zhongli Ruoshui's forehead, then held Zhongli Ruoshui's hand, and said softly: "I'm worried about you." ”

Jian Wu, who was standing behind Zhongli Ruoshui, turned around and looked at the rain outside the window, her little mouth pouted, only to suddenly find that although the peach trees outside the window had gone, the greenery was even more vibrant.

"How long did I sleep?"

"Three days!"

“...... That's a long time. ”

"Isn't it, it really scared me to death, don't do that in the future! You have to remember, you still have me!"

Li Chenan laughed, "Well, I see." ”

Zhongli Ruoshui didn't withdraw her hand, her little hand was in the palm of Li Chen'an's hand, and she felt the warmth coming from Li Chen'an's palm, letting her know that it was not a dream.

"But you are also really powerful, you really killed Song Yuanping, and now all the arresters in Guangling City have been dispatched, and they are searching for you as a murderer in the whole city!"

"They know I did it?"

Zhongli Ruoshui shook his head, "No one knows, you can rest assured that you are recuperating from your injuries, they are just putting on a show, and the unlucky ones are those little ruffians in Guangling City." ”

Zhongli Ruoshui talked about the little ruffian, and Li Chenan suddenly remembered Lu Xiaotian of the Axe Gang.

I explained to Lu Xiaotian and asked him to gather those boys from the Axe Gang, and I don't know if they will suffer this unwarranted disaster.

"I'm going into town. ”

"You are still seriously injured, the tavern has Su Muxin, and they will not have a problem taking care of it. ”

"No, I'm going to have to see if the Axe Gang have been arrested, and I promised them a bowl of rice to eat. ”

Zhongli Ruoshui was stunned, his eyebrows frowned slightly, and he asked suspiciously, "What can those little ruffians do?"

"Don't underestimate them, they are all orphans, one is pitiful, and the other is ...... People like them, if you treat them well, they will really give your life to you!"

"When the brewery is built, it will definitely attract some people's eyes, and I need them to help me do something shady. ”

Zhongli Ruoshui understood.

Now in such a situation, the relationship between her and Li Chenan cannot be announced, so in the eyes of everyone in Guangling City, Li Chenan is still a small businessman.

His painting screen spring will be sold to the market in the future, which will inevitably have a huge impact on Guangling San, and the Guangling Huo family will never allow such a thing to happen, and they will definitely find ways to deal with Li Chenan.

Even if they knew that Li Chen'an built the brewing workshop next to Peach Blossom Creek, even if they knew that this piece of land belonged to her, once the core interests of the Huo family were endangered, even if they didn't do something on the surface, they would definitely do it behind their backs.

The kind of bad that hides in the shadows is the most troublesome.

And Li Chenan is obviously aware of this, so he also needs some power hidden in the secret.

"Or ...... I'm going to send someone to the yamen to say hello?"

"No, it's better for me to handle some things myself. ”

“...... You're treating me like an outsider?"

Li Chenan stretched out his other hand and scratched Zhong Li Ruoshui's nose, "What do you want?" It's just that I can really do this thing, and I think about it...... Your mother will probably be watching. ”

"Oh," Zhongli Ruoshui nodded obediently, but he was a little worried, "but the injuries on your body ...... Dr. Zhang said that your injuries are very serious, you have lost too much blood, and you will be in bed for more than a month. ”

"It's okay, where am I so precious?"

Saying this, Li Chenan withdrew his hands and propped up the bed with his elbows intending to get up, but he grinned "hiss", so frightened that Zhongli Ruoshui hurriedly helped him up and put him flat on the bed.

The wound hurts.

Even that guy might have cracked.

Li Chenan reached out and touched it, his fingertips were a little wet, and obviously blood was spilling from the wrapped bandage.

"Don't move!"

"Now it's most important for you to recuperate, as for what does my mother think...... Where do you need to care about what she thinks now!"

Li Chenan lay down, looked at the white curtain, pondered for a moment and asked, "Is there anything wrong with Li Xiaohua?"

"He was stabbed twice, one in the arm and one in the thigh, and I also asked the doctor of Huichun Hall to apply medicine to him, and I thought it was no big deal. ”

Li Chenan didn't say thank you, because then it would be too raw.

"Our brewery ......"

Zhongli Ruoshui interrupted him this time.

"You, what are you still thinking about what the workshop is doing?"

"Lie down, everything will be said after you are well. ”

"Hungry, right? I asked Xue'er to order the kitchen to stew chicken soup, and let her get it after a while, Dr. Zhang said that you have to make up for it after you wake up, but you are not afraid of leaving any sequelae, because Wu Lao said that if you practice the exercises he gave you, your body will naturally recover. ”

Li Chenan thought about it, and now there is really nothing that can be done in this situation.

Then let's give birth and raise for two days.

At this moment, Wu Xichen walked in.

"Boy, awake?"

"Your kid is out of the old man's expectations, and I don't know if I should say that you have a big life. ”

He came to the bed and "stretched out his hand." ”

"What for?"

"The old man will take your pulse. ”

Li Chenan stretched out a hand and said with a smile, "Will you still see a doctor?"

Wu Xichen's hand fell on Li Chen'an's wrist, "It's not to see a doctor." ”

"What's that?"

After a while, Wu Xichen's face showed a touch of joy, "You kid, you actually have it!"

Joy?

Li Chenan was stunned, "Master, I'm a man!"
