There was a slight knock on the door again.

Shen Niannian came back to his senses, and kept staring at the direction of the door in the dark, and was a little scared.

I hesitated for a while before I decided to get out of bed.

Put on his coat, grope in the dark and light the candlelight, and then cautiously walked to the door, lying on the door and quietly listening to the sound outside.

The whining cold wind was very oozing in the dark night, but the slight sound of the door was more and more obvious.

She swallowed nervously, holding the dim oil lamp in one hand, and gently tapping a gap in the other, slowly opening the door.

The cold wind blew through the door, the flame of the oil lamp flickered and flickered, and the light light shone on the ground, and a dark thing was lying in front of her door.

Shen Niannian was taken aback suddenly, and took a few steps back before carefully looking at the thing on the ground.

Until he saw the hand that looked a little gray, he was even more frightened.

has had her own experience, and now she has long been convinced of the theory of ghosts and gods, in the middle of the night, a person appeared in front of her door, whether this is a person or a ghost, so that Shen Niannian's whole person froze in place, not daring to move.

The cold wind blew her loose hair fluttering, and the hand on the ground suddenly moved, which made Shen Niannian even more nervous, for fear that this 'ghost' would suddenly stand up.

Even she already regretted why she had to open the door so much, even if she heard a voice, she should have heard it.

"Save ...... I ......"

The hoarse voice was like a ghost, Shen Niannian shuddered, and began to chant the Great Compassion Mantra in his mouth, the Buddhist mantra in the Nan Wu Amitabha Buddha.

"There is a debtor and a debtor, go back where you came from, I'm just an innocent passerby, even if you have grievances, don't come to me...... Nam no Amitabha ......"

Shen Niannian kept chattering, and her voice couldn't help shaking, but she still had the courage to step forward and prepare to close the door.

It's just that when she closed the door, the hand of the black shadow on the ground suddenly grabbed the high threshold directly, and I saw that the black shadow suddenly turned over, revealing a straight face.

Shen Niannian was startled, stared at the face, and faintly felt a little familiar, so he clenched his fists, and boldly raised the oil lamp carefully.

"Big cousin!"

She exclaimed in a low voice, never expecting that the thing that fell in front of her door would be her cousin!

The eldest cousin Du Shengnian is the son of her maternal uncle, and after the accident in the Hou Mansion, immediately after the accident in the Hou Mansion, the mother's maiden family, the Wynburgh Mansion was also angered and punished by the incompetent emperor.

At that time, she had been imprisoned in the side courtyard of the Hou Mansion, and she couldn't go out at all, so she could only learn about the outside world from Zhuyue.

It is said that the Wilnberg Mansion was stripped of his knighthood, and the whole family was demoted to the rank of commoner, and he was not allowed to set foot in Kyoto for the rest of his life.

Since Taketsuki got the news at that time, it was a long time after this incident, so she had no way of knowing the whereabouts of the Wynburgh family.

I never thought that now I met my eldest cousin on the border 108,000 miles away from Kyoto!

At this time, she can't be allowed to think too much, Shen Niannian can see that the eldest cousin's current situation is wrong, and he can't care about any male and female defense at the moment, so he directly stepped forward to help people up with difficulty, and then got to his own kang.

"Water ......"

Du Shengnian had already fallen into a coma, and Shen Niannian saw that there was no trace of blood on his face, so he noticed the blood that had just fallen from him in the room.

After thinking about it, she simply got dressed, poured him a glass of water, and waited carefully to feed him, and then hurriedly went out and went to Shen Xiuniang's house on the other side.

There is suddenly such a big living person in the family, and it must not be hidden from the Shen family.

So she didn't hesitate, and knocked on the door of Shen's house directly.

Shen Xiuniang was sleeping in a daze, and was quickly awakened when she heard the knock on the door.

After lighting the candlelight, he hurriedly opened the door, and saw the girl shivering in the cold wind, and suddenly showed a surprised expression: "Niannian, what's wrong with you, the old man doesn't sleep at night, what's the matter?" ”

"Mother, when I got up at night just now, I found an injured living person at my door, it seems to be a soldier, you can go and take a look."

Shen Niannian is not lying, although in her memory, the eldest cousin Du Shengnian should be a literati and ink artist with a pen, even if he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, he has never shown much power, and when she brought people into the house before, she found that this cousin was actually wearing military clothes.

Shen Xiuniang was also taken aback when she heard the news, and she was not sleepy immediately, so she hurriedly followed her to her house.

Seeing that Shen Niannian actually got someone into his bed, he immediately pointed at her and counted down: "Niannian, how can you let a strange man go to your own bed?" If it spreads, it will affect your reputation, and how will you marry in the future! ”

"Mother, I didn't see that the situation was urgent, so I just got people on the kang first, and besides, there are only two of us in this family, if we don't say it, who will know." Shen Niannian smiled flatteringly, but there was still a trace of anxiety in his eyes when he looked at the unconscious Du Shengnian, "It's just mother, what should this person do?" ”

Shen Xiuniang frowned, "Get people to the guest room first, no matter what, your reputation is still important." ”

Saying that, Shen Xiuniang walked over, directly got the person up, and ordered Shen Niannian to hold the lamp, but it was actually one person who took Du Shengnian away.

Originally, Shen Niannian wanted to go over to help, but Shen Xiuniang said that she wouldn't do anything, shouting that men and women couldn't kiss each other, and she got Du Shengnian over by herself.

No matter what kind of identity Shen Xiuniang had before, she had done a lot of farm work in the field for so many years, so she still had such a lot of strength, even if Du Shengnian was already an adult, getting him to the guest room didn't tire her too much.

The kang in the guest room was still cold, and Shen Xiuniang told Shen Niannian to get a few futons over, and she burned the kang herself, lest this man freeze to death if he didn't die of illness on this cold day.

After Shen Niannian brought a new futon, he hurriedly went to the kitchen to boil hot water and brought it into the house, and then asked, "Mother, should we ask him a doctor?" ”

Du Shengnian was still wearing a bloody coat, just now Shen Xiuniang directly blasted her out on the grounds that she was still a yellow flower girl who had not yet left the cabinet, and took off his clothes again, and covered the person with a quilt after temporarily stopping the bleeding.

"You can't ask for a doctor, now we are orphans and widows in this family, and there are already many people gossiping in the village, if there is suddenly an extra man and it spreads, I don't know how to arrange your reputation." Shen Xiuniang sighed, she couldn't watch people die in her own home, this house was still newly built, if someone died as soon as she came, it would really feel bad luck when she thought about it.

Fortunately, when she was building a house before, she listened to Wang Sanniang's words and bought some medicinal materials to stop bleeding, she was afraid that the villagers who were working would accidentally have an accident, just in case, now it seems that it can be used on this person who suddenly appeared in her house.

Dead horses are used as live horse doctors, Shen Xiuniang was already tired and sweating profusely after giving Du Shengnian the medicine, and said to Shen Niannian: "Whether he is dead or alive depends on this person's own creation, if he is really dead, we will dig a pit at night and bury him outside." ”

Shen Niannian didn't say a word, it was naturally impossible for her to watch her eldest cousin die in front of her, but she still coped with it on her face, nodding her head again and again.

Du Shengnian is now in his twenties, in the prime of life, once married a wife, gave birth to a son, but later she heard that the cousin-in-law was weak, and after giving birth, her physical condition deteriorated every day, and it didn't take long for her to go.

At that time, she had almost married into the Yun family, and she didn't know much about this cousin, so she didn't know if he was in the string later.

The man lying on the bed had long since lost the gentle and elegant, noble son-in-law appearance in her memory, but was angular, even if he was asleep, he also had a fierce aura, just like a sleeping lion, not a guy to mess with.

Du Shengnian was born with a good appearance since he was a child, and as the son of Bofu, he naturally grew up enjoying a life of fine clothes and food.

In my memory, the last time I saw my eldest cousin, he didn't give people such a strong feeling as he does now.

However, Shen Niannian looked at the clothes he was wearing in the general's clothes, and then thought of the injuries on his body, I am afraid that after being demoted to a commoner, the eldest cousin has not suffered any setbacks, right?

It's just that what she never expected was that her eldest cousin would come to the border and seem to have joined the army.

"I'll go and sleep for a while, you don't care about this person, take a good rest, there is other work to be done tomorrow." Shen Xiuniang yawned, and the sleepy insect crawled up her eyes again, and said with sleepy eyes, and left.

Shen Niannian responded obediently, and when she saw her go back to her room, she frowned and stood beside Du Shengnian again.

After thinking about it, I was still a little worried about the eldest cousin's injury, so I carefully checked it again, reapplied the medicine carefully, and fed him water, then sighed and went directly to the kitchen.

There was still some time before dawn, and she couldn't sleep at this time, so she was just going to boil some porridge.

If my cousin wakes up tomorrow, I'll have to eat something.

Shen Niannian found out that there were still ingredients left at home, and there were no vegetables to eat in winter, but there was some meat left.

She thaws the meat that is frozen on the outside with warm water, and here she cuts the bamboo shoots.

Cut the bamboo shoots into finely minced pieces, and cut half a palm-sized piece from the slightly unfrozen, and chop the same into meat foam.

The farmer's rice was reluctant to eat, but she still grabbed a few handfuls of rice and boiled it into porridge, and then put the bamboo shoots and meat foam in it and stirred it well, sprinkled the appropriate amount of salt, and then squatted in front of the stove in a daze.

I don't know, the eldest cousin knows the news of her father and brother......
