Zhang Shaoqing held on to the window frame with one hand and struggled to support his body, and with the other hand covered his bleeding shoulder, looking at Yin Suwen, who was instantly in love with him. His expression was complicated, he wanted to speak and stopped, shocked, unwilling, sad and even a trace of resentment, full of unspeakable heartache.

The wind chimes under the eaves rang a few times, and the sound of the conversation between the two homecoming people came faintly, He Caiwei laughed heartily, half laughing and half coquettish, as if complaining about the sudden drizzle. She and Xinche each called out to Yin Su to ask, but before they could hear an answer, the sound of footsteps getting closer and closer came towards the bamboo house.

The bamboo door was pushed open, and Xin Che grabbed the still dripping coat in one hand, and leaned in to check on most of his body. As soon as he pushed the door, he was rushed into his arms by a small figure rushing towards him.

"Susu? What's going on? ”

The bamboo hut was a little messy, the paper and pen on the table were all scattered, the stools were overturned to the ground, and the side windows were wide open, pouring in a cold wind and raindrops. Yin Suwen in his arms neither answered nor spoke, only buried his face in his shoulders and hugged him tightly, refusing to let go. He still had the humidity and coolness of the rain just now, but Yin Suwen felt that it was the warmest and safest place in the whole world.

Xinche was still held by her, and as far as her eyes could see, she could already tell that an outsider should have broken in. It's just that she doesn't want to say, so he can't repeatedly ask which one of the people who broke into the Zhang Mansion is it.

There were scattered blood stains on the wall, and a discarded hairpin was thrown on the ground, and he anxiously grabbed Yin Suwen's hand and examined it carefully, and only then let go of a hanging heart when he confirmed that she was not injured. On the one hand, he gently tied her clothes without a trace, and on the other hand, he wiped away the tears from her eyes with great distress. Said softly.

"It's okay, it's okay. Don't be afraid, I'm here, no matter what happens, I'll be by your side. ”

"Brother monk, never leave me, okay?"

"Okay."

She is so aggrieved, as if she has been abandoned by the whole world, and only when she hides in Xinche's arms will she feel that the grievance can no longer be so difficult and hurtful. Since the night when the pond returned late, she said happily that she wanted Xinche to be her husband. I want two people to have a home. Xinche always avoided her, intentionally or unintentionally.

Although her mind is small, her senses are still keen, and she can feel it naturally. At this moment, she is like a lonely child looking for a home, and like a wandering boat looking for a harbor. Every time I am lonely and helpless, I will be afraid. But. As long as I think about it, I have the courage to continue to be strong. This should be regarded as love.

In Xinche's limited life, he also took the initiative to take a woman into his arms for the first time in his life. For the first time in my life, I felt distressed. It turned out that the distress at this time was completely different from the previous compassion. He has always thought that the difference between "monks" and "people" is that "monks" used to be "people" and could completely filter out and forget the worldly past, but now he realized that the so-called world and the past seemed to be just experienced.

He Caiwei came in with hot tea, and saw him hugging Yin Suqing, who was sobbing, a little embarrassed, and asked with concern what happened. Xin Che glanced at Yin Suwen, who was silent, and knew that she didn't want to say more, so she simply found a reason for a nightmare to prevaricate.

Some charcoal was added to the house, and after watching Yin Suwen drink a few cups of hot tea, He Caiwei left a few words of concern and left. Xin Che was worried and did not leave, but only placed her on the couch, and chose a warmer quilt to cover her.

"Sleep. I'm going to boil water now, wake up in a while, take a hot shower, change into clean clothes, and drink a bowl of hot porridge, everything will be fine. ”

His voice was gentle and nice, as if he were coaxing a wounded child. Yin Suwen was really sleepy after being startled, and felt a lot warmer at this time, but his hand was still reluctantly tugging on Xinche's sleeve.

"What, do you have anything to say to me?"

"Brother monk doesn't want to ask me what happened?"

"Whatever happened is in the past, and I will take more care of you in the future, so that no more random intruders will come to harass you. As for those things, it doesn't matter, the important thing is that you are safe and sound. ”

Yin Suwen suddenly felt that she should be content, her monk brother and her heart were so careful to take care of her. He values her, so he is accustomed to her, and he can sacrifice himself for her at any time without hesitation.

She covered her face with the wide sleeves of her shirt, not wanting him to see the tears on her face, and tried to stabilize her emotions before she spoke softly.

"I'm fine. It's not that I don't want to talk about today's things, but I don't know where to start. All of a sudden, I encountered so many things, so many chaotic stories, and I couldn't accept it for a while. So, Brother Monk, if you give me some more time, I will try to see my heart clearly. ”

"Okay."

"It's just a pity that the fine sandalwood brand, which was originally intended to be a gift for you, was almost finished but was still destroyed."

Yin Su, who was hiding under the sleeve of his shirt, was comforted, and his mind turned to the unfinished woodcut. The sign was supposed to be given to Xinche, but now it was destroyed twice by the people who broke in, and she was angry and blamed herself, and she cursed the people who did the bad thing a hundred and eighty times in her heart.

But when I saw that she would complain and mess around again, I was happy in my heart. He bent down and picked up the wooden plaque on the ground to see that it was nothing but a little dirty and missing a corner. He deliberately ignored the half of the mandarin duck engraved on the card, put the wooden card back in his sleeve, and comforted her with a smile.

"It's good, it's special. Thank you for the gift. ”

Yin Suwen is now a child, crying and laughing as he likes, and Xinche gossiped with her for a while before he finally put people to sleep. After tucking the corners of the quilt for her and adjusting the temperature of the charcoal stove, he got out and quietly exited the house, closed the door and turned around to see He Caiwei who was leaning on the railing at the door and waiting for him.

"Master, hurry up and change your clothes, you should catch a cold after wearing wet clothes for a long time."

"It's okay, there's a charcoal fire in the house again, and it will dry up after a while."

took a set of clean clothes from He Caiwei's hand, smiled gratefully at her, and turned back to look at her when she was about to leave.

"Miss Ho is waiting here, but what do you have to say to me?"

"Actually??????"

"What?"

"Actually, it's nothing. Cai Wei just thinks that no matter how beautiful the scenery in this valley is, it is still a little simple and bitter after all, and it may be a good thing for Su Su to have a better place to go home, even though I will be reluctant to her. ”

He Caiwei didn't dare to look at Xinche when she spoke, she was a little nervous and clutched the corner of her clothes, thinking in her heart what Xinche would think when these words came out. The two of them were silent for a moment, and after a while, Xin Che replied in a deep voice.

"Okay, I'll think about it." (To be continued......)
