Chapter 40: Shelter from the Rain

The two chatted for a while, and it slowly got dark, and neither of them noticed, until a thunderous "boom" pulled their attention back.

Only then did I notice that the sky was already cloudy, the wind in the mountains was much stronger, and in the distance there was a flash of lightning, and then the thunder rumbled...... It's about to rain thunder.

Wen Qixiao immediately rode his horse to accelerate, and he had to find a place to shelter from the rain before it rained.

Not long after running, the rain fell.

I didn't find a suitable place to shelter from the rain along the road, the predecessor of Qiu Lin has been wet with rain, and when Qiu Lin thought that he was going to become a soup chicken, a small village appeared in front of him, and he didn't have to rain anymore.

Wen Qixiao sped up and entered the small village, Liu Cheng, Li Jin and Wen Qilun were also waiting for them in this small village, and they were relieved to see them coming.

It's just that the houses in the village are relatively small, and they can't accommodate so many people into one house at once, so they can only find a few farming families separately to shelter from the rain.

Wen Qixiao went forward to find a farmhouse that was a little bigger and better, got off the horse first, and then got off the horse with Qiu Lin in his arms, tidied up his appearance, and then stepped forward to knock on the farmer's door.

"It's coming, it's coming! Who? A loud voice came from the room, and then the door opened with a squeak, and it was an aunt about fifty years old, clean and neatly dressed, with a slightly fat figure, very blessed. When he saw a stranger knocking on the door, a man and a woman, he asked, "Who are you?" ”

Wen Qixiao saluted to the aunt and said, "This aunt, I'm disturbed!" The two of us passed through here and encountered a thunderstorm, I wonder if my aunt can let the two of us go into the house to take shelter from the rain, and we will leave when the rain stops. ”

Because Qiu Lin was wearing women's clothes, she blessed the aunt according to the etiquette of a woman.

The aunt saw that these two people who were dressed well and knew how to etiquette liked it very much, and said while smiling to make way for them: "Oh, come in, come in!" It's raining hard outside, come in! ”

Wen Qixiao said: "Thank you, auntie!" Then I'll go and tie the horse first. ”

The aunt hurriedly said: "Then little brother, you can tie the horse to the donkey shed in the backyard, then there is feed for the horses." ”

After Wen Qixiao thanked his aunt again, he turned to Qiu Lin and said, "You go into the house first, and I'll go and settle the horse." ”

Qiu Lin nodded, and followed him to lead the horse to the backyard.

Qiu Lin said as he entered the house: "Auntie, you're in trouble!" ”

The aunt looked at this beautiful and dignified and generous woman, and she liked it tightly in her heart, and she was full of favorability. The countrymen all live in this area, and it is rare to see such a beautiful person, so they couldn't help but step forward and take her hand: "What's not troublesome, isn't it just to avoid the rain, the countrymen don't pay attention to these." Come on, come on, sit down, sit down! ”

As soon as Qiu Lin sat down, the aunt saw a large piece of her clothes that were wet, and said, "The little lady's clothes are already wet, come and bake the fire." So saying, he pulled her to sit down on the stove and let her bake the fire.

There was something burning in the pot, and a very fragrant smell wafted all the time. Qiu Lin walked for a day, his stomach was already very hungry, but he didn't expect to be hooked up by this fragrance, his stomach made a "goo" sound, Qiu Lin touched his stomach, a little embarrassed, fortunately the aunt didn't hear it.

The autumn shower was roasting on the stove, the warm temperature was very comfortable, the cold air of the whole body was slowly dispersed, and I unconsciously let out a sigh of satisfaction.

The aunt turned around and rummaged through the cabinets next to her to find something, and her mouth did not affect her speech: "Little lady, you can't wear my clothes, auntie, you just sit here and dry your clothes." Although it's almost May now, the weather is changing, and it's unbearable to be cold in the rain, so I'll burn some ginger tea for you to get cold. Hey? I remember putting this dried ginger slice here? Where did it go...... Oh~ Found it! ”

After some hard work, the aunt finally found the dried ginger slices in the cabinet full of dried goods, grabbed a handful and put it in another pot to boil ginger tea......

Qiu Lin watched this very warm and lovely aunt make ginger tea for them after and after, and her heart was warm: "Thank you!" Aunt! ”

The aunt smiled and said, "The little lady is polite." ”

The two sat in front of the stove and chatted about the fire, Qiu Lin asked some about the situation at home, especially the crops planted and the livestock raised at home.

The aunt didn't expect that this little lady who seemed to be a pampered woman also knew this, and she knew no less than her, a farmer who worked all year round, and the overflow of surprise, favorability, etc., overflowed, and took Qiu Lin's hand and chatted endlessly.

When Wen Qixiao came in after bolting the horse and feeding the feed, he saw the aunt holding Qiu Lin's hand, and the two were chatting enthusiastically, Qiu Lin's face was full of smiles, and the corners of the aunt's mouth were about to crack to the root of her ears.

"Auntie! What are you talking about? So happy. Wen Qixiao sat down on the stool, looked at them and asked.

The aunt looked at him and said, "Little brother, you are so blessed!" was able to marry such a good daughter-in-law. ”

When Qiu Lin heard her aunt say this, she immediately blushed, turned her head and glanced at Wen Qixiao secretly.

Wen Qixiao also looked at Qiu Lin, naturally saw that her face was red, knowing that she was embarrassed to be misunderstood, and wanted to explain: "No, we are ......"

The aunt interrupted his explanation: "Oh, the little couple is still embarrassed...... Okay, the ginger tea has been cooked, I'll give you a ride, hurry up and drink it while it's hot to go to the cold. So saying, he went to give them ginger tea.

Wen Qixiao, who was interrupted to explain, didn't explain anymore, misunderstanding is misunderstanding, when the rain stops, they will leave, and it doesn't matter much whether they explain or not.

Just looked at Qiu Lin with his head down and blushing, but he was fascinated.

The two of them served the ginger tea that the aunt had taken, sat on the stove together and drank ginger tea, and the ginger tea with brown sugar suddenly felt warm all over the body, and the chill on the body went to seven, seven, eight, eight.

The rain didn't stop falling, it was already dark and it was still falling. They couldn't walk when the rain didn't stop, so they could only continue to take shelter from the rain.

The aunt was already cooking dinner, and the farmer's meals were very simple, all of them were home-grown vegetables, and there were no big fish and meat, but the aunt still took out the bacon and fried the bacon in a pot of spring bamboo shoots to entertain the guests.

When the aunt had finished the meal, the aunt's wife, the male owner of the house, also happened to come back, and the voice arrived before the person entered the house: "Wife, I'm back!" Are the meals all ready? Starve me to death. ”

With the opening of the kitchen door, a yellow figure rushed in, and immediately rushed to Qiu Lin's side, after Qiu Lin saw what the yellow thing was, he was so frightened that his soul was out of his body, "Ah" went straight to Wen Qixiao's arms, his face was white and bloodless, and his mouth shouted: "Wen Qixiao, get it away, get it away, I'm afraid of ......"

When the aunt saw Qiu Lin afraid of this, she immediately drove the dog that scared her out of the house and drove it to the backyard.
