Chapter 39: The Bride's Tribulation
Rao Tu closed her eyes, and she smelled the man's body, like the pine wood in the mountains in autumn, which gave off an elegant and dry smell when it was illuminated by the sun.
After the man took her for a wild run, the air around her was thick with green bamboo, and she had reached an inaccessible mountain forest.
The man slowed down, brushed away the bamboo branches that stood in the way, and said with a smile: "Miss Rao is so calm, she really has some insight. ”
Rao Di opened her eyes, and she couldn't see the man's face clearly in the moonlight, but she was sure that he was a handsome and elegant man. She could feel from his words that he was beaming as he spoke.
"Along the way, Childe's hands are too regular, but flower thieves are not like this." Rao Tu said softly.
The man smiled and looked down at his hand pressed against her waist, "Girl, are you reminding me how to despise you?" ”
"I know who you are." Rao Tu didn't gag with him, and went straight to the point.
"Oh?" He was a little surprised, "Let's hear it." ”
"You are the most unsuccessful grandson of Mr. Nangong, Nangong Yiwu."
The man's footsteps paused slightly, and then he smiled: "It's only half right." ”
Rao said: "At least in the eyes of the old gentleman, you are very unsuccessful. ”
Nangong Yiwu sighed: "Could it be that the girl knows Qimen arithmetic. ”
"Mr. Nangong blocked the street and scolded me for being fake, and smashed me with a bronze mace under the guise of letting you rob me is true."
Nangong Yiwu couldn't help but reach out and touch his chin, he felt a little desperate, "Could it be that I look so similar to that old man?" ”
"Not really."
Nangong Yiwu was just about to let go of his hanging heart, and Rao Tu added a sentence that made him almost vomit blood, "You are not as righteous and awe-inspiring as Mr. Nangong, compared to Mr. Nangong, you are really a little inferior." ”
Nangong Yiwu couldn't cry or laugh, and deliberately accentuated his tone and said fiercely: "Little beauty, aren't you afraid that I will be angry and will do you here?" ”
A little self-deprecation flashed in Rao's eyes, "The old gentleman dislikes me so much, if the son dares to do this, I am afraid that he will never be able to enter Nangong's house again." ”
Nangong Yiwu smiled, "Girl, I'm still not the same as that old stubborn, at least I don't dislike you in the slightest, but I still like you a little." ”
"Childe is cautious."
Nangong Yiwu let go of the hand holding Rao Di, took a few steps back and looked her up and down, "Sure enough, there is no such beauty in the world." ”
Rao Tu bowed slightly, "May I ask what are the plans of the child?" Will you push me off the cliff, or will you just stab me to death with a sword? ”
"What kind of death does the girl prefer?"
"I don't like to die."
"Alas! I can't do anything like a spicy hand...... Is there one thing I can ask the girl? ”
"Please."
"How do you know I'm Nangong Yiwu?"
Rao Tu pointed to the purse on his waist, "Next time Gongzi comes out to rob people, don't bring so much burden, even if you can't give it up, don't embroider your name on these things." ”
Nangong Yiwu touched the purse on his waist, he smiled dumbly, "I don't know which girl sewed it, the purse is embroidered with a name, and it is also childish!" ”
"Shen Zhu will find it soon, my maid's kung fu is not bad, and the son is running out of time." Rao Tu looked up at the sky, the moon was round, after all, it was winter, and it was cool.
Nangong Yiwu was embarrassed: "If I don't complete the old man's task, I will be stripped of a layer of skin when I go back." If you don't kill you, you can save some face for the old man. ”
Rao Di looked at him, a little puzzled.
Nangong Yiwu patiently explained: "Look, Shen Zhu wants to marry you as a concubine, and the Confucianism of the Guozi Prison is furious, and he is blocked and reprimanded by the old man of Nangong, which should have some effect." If the girl swaggers to appear in the Shen Mansion tomorrow, wouldn't it be useless for the old man to stop people on the street? In front of the Manchu Dynasty, he lost face. ”
Rao Tu smiled helplessly: "Childe can speak directly...... The scenery here is good, and it is also a wonderful thing to live in a house, and Rao Tu will not go for the time being. ”
Nangong Yiwu was overjoyed when he heard this, stroked his palms and smiled: "The girl is really a wonderful person with a clear mind!" You don't seem to be safe to live here alone with a girl's family, do you want to stay with you for a while? ”
"No need, if Childe doesn't want to meet Lord Shen, let's go quickly."
Nangong Yiwu was a little disappointed, and hugged his fists, "Tonight is abrupt, farewell!" ”
As soon as the voice fell, others were like a gust of wind, drifting away in the thick night and disappearing.
A faint smile floated at the corner of Rao's mouth, secretly thinking that this person was obviously the only grandson of Nangong Rumu, but he was not half angry, but his actions were full of ruffians.
But he is undoubtedly a frank and lovely person.
She unconsciously thought of Shen Zhu, thinking that he was also a beautiful son when he was a teenager, but she knew that he had never been a radiant young man.
At that time, she didn't understand, her husband actually had a deep loneliness and hatred in his heart, she didn't understand, but she was often worried that he would cry bitterly.
The wind blew the bamboo leaves, rustling, Shen Zhu stepped on a horse, and saw her standing alone in the wind, the figure under the moon shadow was too slender, and he couldn't help but shrink in his heart.
The old wound ached faintly, and he covered his chest, rolled over and dismounted. She wiped the tears from her face, turned her head, and gave him a soft smile.
After a long time, Shen Zhu hurriedly took a few steps forward, and the cloak with the smell of wind and dust and cold grass tightly wrapped Rao Tu, and he overflowed from his throat with a painful murmur "Ah Yu......"
Rao's heart trembled, and then she smiled casually: "How do adults know my nickname?" ”
"Ah...... Is it your nickname? Shen Zhu's voice was trembling, and even he didn't know at this moment, whether he wanted her to be Xu Xuan or not.
"Did Childe see the small print on the back of the pair of crescent moon pendants?"
"Ah, are you Ah?" Shen Zhu held her shoulders tightly, almost crushing her delicate shoulder bones.
Rao Tu snorted, "Childe, you hurt Raodi." ”
Shen Zhu stared at her slightly confused eyes, as if there was a loud bang, his heartstrings were broken, his eyes were red, and he said stubbornly: "You say, you are Ah Yu." ”
"That's right, the slave is A, and Ayu is the slave's nickname...... Hmmm......"
Before she could finish speaking, his hot lips were pressed up, blocking what she was about to say.
His hand reached into her garment, lingering on the scars, feeling the honest reaction of the woman's body in his arms, he stopped his movements, looked at her eyes with a little starlight and tears, picked her up on horseback, and galloped straight towards the deserted temple in the mountains in the distance.
With a bang, the temple door was kicked open, and the door slammed against the wall and made a creaking sound. The two rolled into an open space at the back of the hall, and he rushed into the delicate woman's body, as if to rub her into his own soul.
Ambiguous voices floated in the darkness, and after a long time, the heavy wheezing gradually subsided.
The green silk was scattered, shrunk in the man's arms, the broken hair stuck to his forehead, and the cheeks were red as if they had been coated with high-quality rouge ointment.
Shen Zhu took a few breaths for her, and she gradually eased up, exhausted, and didn't even have the strength to move a finger.
The moonlight fell on Raodi's face through the broken window, and she looked at the full moon in the sky obsessively, and a line of hot tears slipped through the corners of her eyes......
Shen Zhu wiped away her tears, and when he saw her like this, he felt that everything was burning inside, and he didn't know why.
He kissed the tears on her face, lingered on her wounds, and hugged her tightly while scolding her for deserving it, "You are my person, just mine!" From now on, no one will want to take you away! ”
In that heart-wrenching force, there is actually a hint of humble begging.
Rao Tu smiled softly at him, "My lord, I'm cold. ”
Shen Zhu wrapped her tightly in his robe, and gathered her hair full of scattered green silk, "The ground is wet, let's go back." ”
He picked her up and asked, "Where are you going?" ”
"Go home."
"I'm not going back, there are people in the Shen Mansion that I don't want to see."
He looked at her, and there was suddenly a little more jealousy in his eyes, "Isn't it because you promised Nangong Yiwu?" ”
Rao Di buried him in his arms, and said in a muffled voice: "My lord should have guessed that the person who robbed me was Nangong Yiwu, since it was a winning and losing hand that the old gentleman had carefully carved, it was better to fulfill his wish." Go back now, not only let me lose my trust in Nangong Gongzi, but also make Nangong old man lose his dignity, the old man is a high-minded and arrogant person, if he is angry because of this, why bother? ”
Shen Zhu snorted coldly, "What is untrustworthy or untrustworthy, you are not allowed to talk about any agreement with other men in the future!" "The tone of the voice, the command is better than the discussion.
Rao Tu didn't say anything, only gritted her teeth and looked at him, her face unpredictable.
Shen Zhu glanced down at her, "Unconvinced?" He shoved the rune dagger that nearly killed him back into Rao's hand, "This is your dagger. ”
Rao Tuyan smiled and said softly: "Aren't you afraid that I will stab a hole in you again?" ”
"What's the pain of dying?" Shen Zhu sighed secretly in his heart, he no longer bothered with Rao Tu and Xu Yu, she was her, nor was she her, what did it have to do with him?
These days she is in the princess's mansion, he can't sleep at night, his soul is broken, and he has already thought very clearly. What he wants is Xu Xu's shadow as ethereal as smoke, and it is also Rao's real laughter, anger and anger.
He couldn't tell the difference anymore.
Carrying the woman on horseback and wrapping her in his heavy cloak, the horse walked briskly on the mountain path, and said sullenly: "I am very soft, I just want to find a stable place to rest, don't go back to Shen Mansion." ”
She buried herself in his chest, and as she spoke, the warm and sweet breath penetrated into his neck, and he stiffened, clenched the reins of his horse and said, "There's a fast snow mountain villa near here, let's go there." ”
Rao Tu said "um", but the horse suddenly stopped leaving, Rao Tu poked her head out of the cloak to take a look, but saw three black-clothed masked people on the road ahead.
Rao Tu smiled slightly, raised her head and said to Shen Zhu: "Guess who, my lord, are these people?" ”
Shen Zhu's eyes were not shocked, he glanced at the three masked people, and said lightly: "Go back and tell your master, I have married this woman, so I don't have to bother!" ”
The first of the three stepped forward, clasped his fists and said loudly: "Lord Shen, my master doesn't care if you marry this woman or not. ”
Shen Zhu sneered, "Oh? And what is your master's desire? ”
The man in black said in a deep voice, word by word: "Master, I want your life!" Before he could finish speaking, a sound of wind pierced the night and nailed it firmly to something.
Shen Zhu picked up Rao Tu and quickly jumped into the jungle next to him, and the accident was abrupt!
The slope of the mountain was steep, and the two of them rolled down the cliff and smashed into the spring stream under the mountain with a bang, and the water was extremely fast, engulfing the two of them downstream.
A black-clothed assassin standing on the mountain wanted to go down to check, but was stopped by the leader, "The master didn't let the killing, Shen Zhu was hit by a poisonous nail, he feels good, retreat quickly!" ”
The coldness was in the bones, the body was numb, the hands and feet had long been unconscious, and the water poured straight into the mouth and nose. I don't know how long I floated, and suddenly, my arm was firmly grasped and pulled her in one direction.
The water gradually decreased, and with a bang, she was pulled out of the water, and the mountain wind blew slowly, blowing her up and down her body. Rao Tu took a few breaths, and her whole body trembled uncontrollably.
The man next to him coughed wildly a few times, and his body smashed straight into the water again, making a huge splash, and Rao Tu hurriedly grabbed the corner of Shen Zhu's clothes, pulling him to the shore with all his might.
The shore was full of sharp boulders, and a deep wound was cut on Rao's calf, and she was dripping with blood, but she didn't realize it, and called "Shen Zhu" several times in succession, but he didn't respond at all.
At this time, it was dawn, and the dark blue sky turned over a fish-belly white, and she looked around, blankly, this was an empty mountain stream.
To her delight, there was a low shadow not far away, like a thatched hut. She gritted her teeth and helped Shen Zhu up, pressing almost all his weight on her shoulders, and walked towards the hut with difficulty step by step.
Outside, she shouted a few times, but there was no response, and she gently pushed the door, and the already rotten door panel smashed inward into the ground, splashing countless dust.
Rao Tu fanned the ashes, choked and coughed a few times, and immediately smelled a strong musty smell.
Fortunately, it was the musty smell that had been uninhabited for many years, not the smell of rotting corpses, so Rao Tu dragged Shen Zhu into the house, grabbed a few handfuls of hay and tossed for a long time before lighting a small bonfire in the house.
The fire shone on Shen Zhu's face, his sword eyebrows were tightly locked, his face was pale, Rao Di took off his wet clothes, and saw that there was a dark black blood stain on the thigh of his middle coat, and he was busy tearing his middle coat to take a look, only to see a dark green iron nail nailed to his thigh, and the skin and flesh at the wound were rolled, and the flesh was extremely deep or had entered the bone.
Rao Di hesitated for a moment, pinched the iron nail that was bubbling out of the skin and flesh and wanted to lift it out, but Shen Zhu suddenly grabbed her wrist violently.
With a sigh, she was clenched by the man's iron hoop-like hand, and she said angrily: "At this time, can't you save some effort?" ”
Shen Zhu's lips moved slightly, but he didn't know what he wanted to say.
She listened carefully to his ear for a while, but couldn't hear anything clearly, and she snorted: "Do you want to say don't pull it out?" Well, I'll smash a few more inches into it, and I can't see it. ”
Shen Zhu's grip on her arm increased a little harder, and at the same time there was a little more anger on his face, and he squeezed out the two words "poisonous" from his mouth, and he couldn't speak anymore, and the hand holding Rao Di also let go.
Rao Tu narrowed her eyes slightly, looked at him with a complicated expression for a while, and suddenly sneered: "Since you are a cold and ruthless person, what is a gentle and considerate attitude?" ”
She tore off a piece of cloth from Shen Zhu's middle coat and wrapped it in her hand, then pinched the poisonous nail, and pulled it up suddenly, Shen Zhu snorted, the iron nail was pulled out, and the black blood from the wound gushed outward. She waited for the black blood to gradually turn red, and squeezed it out a few more times until the blood turned red, and then pulled the cloth strip to cover the wound.
During the whole process, Shen Zhu didn't make any other sound except for a muffled snort when pulling out the nails.
Rao Tu took care of everything, found some dry wood from the outside to add fire, and sat in front of the fire to wipe the wound on his leg.
In the early morning, the sunlight fell into the house through the leak in the roof, Shen Zhu came to his senses, lowered his head slightly, and saw her wearing light obscene clothes and curled up in her arms, breathing lightly. His eyebrows couldn't help but stretch slightly, and the corners of his lips hooked up a faint smile.
Rao Di slept very lightly, and immediately opened his eyes when she noticed the movement, and then met his smiling and handsome eyes. After a moment of trance, she said, "Adults can still laugh? ”
Shen Zhu said "um", "Do you have to cry to meet the situation?" ”
"I think it's about the same." Rao Tu got up, and Shen Zhu saw that she was wearing a belly pocket that exposed a large snow back, thin profane pants, and a horrific wound on her calf.
He frowned, and his first reaction was to grab her back into his arms, and as soon as he reached out to her hair, she dodged sideways, and then picked up the clothes that had dried on the shelf and draped them over her body.
Seeing that she was so casually clothed, Shen Zhu became more and more charming, and couldn't help but look slightly dark, and ordered: "Wear it well!" ”
Rao Tu glanced at him, "What does it have to do with you?" "Changed from the previous meekness, it turned out to be an arrogant tone.
Shen Zhu couldn't help but be slightly angry: "You don't understand the three from the four virtues? ”
With a smile, she picked up a thin book from the ground that had been crumpled by blisters, and opened it in front of his eyes.
She smiled, "My lord, look at it, this is your letter of appointment to Raodi, do you still recognize it now?" If you don't have a letter of appointment, Rao Tu is not your woman, why should you judge me? ”
Shen Zhu clenched his fists and wanted to get up, but was surprised to find that his legs couldn't move.
Rao Tu looked at the injury on his leg and said calmly: "This mountain stream is empty, before we go out, you have to rely on me for food, drink and Lazar, so you look at my face." ”
Shen Zhu exhaled a long breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said slowly: "Okay...... Good! Rao, if you have the ability, don't go out for the rest of your life. ”
Rao Tu smiled slightly, "The little woman has this intention, the mountains and rivers here are beautiful, and it is also a beautiful thing in the world to accompany elegant people like adults here." ”
Shen Zhu was slightly stunned for a moment, and the anger in his heart suddenly disappeared. Raodi's words actually made his heart move.
Returning to the hidden forest spring, snow water cooking tea, pine flower wine, accompanied by beautiful women, isn't it a beautiful thing?
Rao Di got up and walked around the inside and outside of the hut, and saw that there was a clay kang in the inner room, and there was actually a futon on the kang, she walked over and opened it, and the bed kang was by the window, and the old rain drifted in, and the bedding was repeatedly wet, and the spots were all mildew.
She rolled up the bedding and carried it out, causing Shen Zhu to frown, "What are you doing?" ”
"Go wash the quilt, Shen Lang doesn't want to be frozen to death, right?"
Shen Zhu couldn't help but feel depressed after receiving such white eyes, watching her carry the tattered bedding to the stream outside, and she couldn't have a seizure for a while, and she actually felt that she had some talent for housekeeping.
Poor Shen Huangmen, listening to the sound of her pounding clothes by the stream, his mind turned for a while, it was really a thousand tastes in his heart, when did he become so downcast? I can't even control a delicate woman!
Rao Tu took a wooden stick and beat the futon several times, washed it for a long time, waited for the mildew to wash it thoroughly, wrung off half of the water, and spread the wet quilt mattress on the big stone to dry in the sun.
After doing this, it took a long time, and after searching for a long time in the vicinity, the strange rocks were craggy and empty, except for some bushes with berries growing on them.
She picked the berries, and on the way back, she unexpectedly found that a pool of water was steaming, and when she got closer, it turned out to be a hot spring, the water temperature was slightly hot, and the bathing was just right.
She was overjoyed, and walked back to the hut to see Shen Zhu sitting against the wall, the bonfire had been burned. With his eyes closed, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, he was wearing only a middle coat, which hung far on the opposite shelf.
Rao Tu walked over to check the wound on his leg, and saw that the wound was red and swollen, and the tentacles were hot. Shen Zhu slowly opened his eyes, and said weakly: "You want to freeze me to death?" ”
Rao Tu smiled apologetically, and hurriedly picked up the clothes opposite and draped them on him, "How do I know, the adults are paralyzed, and they can't even crawl over to grab a piece of clothing." ”
Shen Zhu finally couldn't help but be furious, "Ignorant woman! What is this called paralysis? ”
Rao Tu smiled: "Ignorant women really don't understand, and they don't know what paralysis is. I just know that my lord is having a hard time moving at this time, and I have to rely on everything for everything. ”
Shen Zhu's eyebrows tightened, and he stared at her for a while, Rao Tu was ready to accept his vicious words, but who knew that he didn't speak.
She stuffed a berry into his mouth, and Shen Zhu chewed it, it was bitter and astringent, and he was about to spit it out.
Rao Di said lightly: "If you vomit out, you will be hungry all day today." ”
Shen Zhu choked for a moment, and just wanted to have a seizure, but the berries slipped into his throat, and he had no choice but to swallow it.
Rao Tu smiled and said, "Shen Lang is so good! ”
Shen Zhu thought about it, and instead of being angry, he laughed, "Rao, you remember." ”
Rao nodded her head, "Remember." As he spoke, he shoved a few more berries into his mouth.
Shen Zhu chewed a few mouthfuls slowly, then swallowed slowly, his eyes fell on her slender fingers that were red from cold, and said lightly: "There should be a stove under the pile of dead wood outside."
Rao Tu looked out the window and knew that the pile of dead wood should have been a stove house before, but it had fallen into disrepair so it had collapsed, so she went out to turn over the weeds and dead wood, and sure enough, she picked up a stove.
Remembering that she had seen the workers paving the fire dragon in the alleys of the city before, she turned out a rusty shovel, followed the pipe of the earthen kang in the house, opened up the previously blocked place, and burned a few firewood in the stove, and within a moment, there was some heat on the earthen kang in the house.
It's just not good at all, the earthen kang cracks somewhere, and at the same time there is heat, there is also choking smoke coming out. At this time, Shen Zhu had already been helped onto the kang by Rao, and he was choked by the smoke.
While stroking his back, Rao Di chanted: "I'd rather choke to death than freeze to death, let's bear with it." ”
Shen Zhu looked at this stupid woman helplessly, and said angrily: "Go outside and have some mud to block the gap underneath!" ”
The tone was as tough as ever, and he was smiling rather than smiling, "Why doesn't Lord Shen have the slightest sense of being under the fence?" ”
Still, I got off the kang and dug some mud from the ground outside, blocking the cracks on the kang little by little.
There was no choking smell of smoke, and the kang gradually became hot, but Rao Tu was extremely embarrassed, with a few coal black on her face, a few mud spots on her hair, and the original color could not be seen on her hands.
Shen Zhu frowned, his face was full of disgust, he raised his sleeve to wipe her face, and then flicked the mud spots on her hair, "There is a clay urn in the corner, take the water and heat it to wash your hands." ”
Rao Di didn't notice his soft eyes, and was reminded of this by these words, and said with a smile: "There's a hot spring outside, you wait." ”
She picked up the waon in the corner and ran to the hot spring, washed her hands and put the mud on it, washed the waon, filled it with water, and hugged it back.
Shen Zhu reminded: "You will try the hairpin in the water." ”
Rao Di probed the silver hairpin into the water according to her words, and took it out after a while to see, and there was nothing unusual, "Don't worry, my lord, the hot spring water here may be cleaner than your well water." ”
Shen Zhu frowned slightly, knowing what she was referring to, but he didn't bother to argue with her.
Rao Tu wet the cotton cloth to wipe his face, and said: "You still dislike me, you don't know what your face looks like." ”
The cotton towel wiped a touch of coal black, and Shen Zhu was speechless for a moment, and his face was white and red for a while.
Rao Tu said softly: "Shen Lang, why don't you speak?" ”
Shen Zhu gritted his teeth and said, "You'd better bless me that my legs will never be good." ”
She feigned fear, "Okay, what's the matter?" You're going to eat me? ”
He pulled her back into his arms and said fiercely, "Guess." ”
Rao Di threw the cotton towel in the wattle, the wind wandered through the broken window in the house, although it was hot on the kang, the air was still cold, and she couldn't help but shrink her neck.
Shen Zhu hugged her tightly, picked up the robe and wrapped her tightly. Rao Tu clung to his chest, and heard his steady heartbeat fall on her ears like thunder.
Her face couldn't help but be a little red, many years ago, she was married as a bride, and he studied hard. In the cold winter, he and her snuggling on the kang are now repeated.
The past is floating like clouds, the scenery is the same, and the love is gone.
Crazy man, resentful woman.
At sunset, the golden afterglow fell on the kang, and suddenly a day had passed, Rao Di found a rusty needle in a broken cabinet, dismantled the lines on the clothes, and sewed up the tattered clothes of the two.
The light fell on her face, and even the shallow hair showed a warm yellow color, Shen Zhu watched her bow her head and quietly thread the needle, but the stitches that fell on the clothes were really unsightly.
His eyes became a little complicated, and he asked unintentionally: "Since she is the daughter of Xuanzhou Mansion Yin, everyone is beautiful, and she has never been a female celebrity?" ”
Rao Tu replied casually: "I went to the Teaching Department at the age of five, and I was only taught the rules of etiquette, how did I learn this?" Let's make do with it, although it doesn't look good, it can always keep out the cold. ”
An understatement shook his brain, and that little pitiful fantasy was extinguished in his heart, and he couldn't help laughing at himself.
How can this woman be Xu Yu? Ah Yu's female popularity is excellent, and Ah Yu's death was seen with his own eyes......
Indescribable complex feelings surged into my heart, and I was disappointed and relieved.
She is not a Ah Yu after all.
Then he won't have so many scruples and gaffes.
He looked at the sky outside, the sun was about to fall, the darkness was coming, his face unconsciously revealed a relaxed state, his eyes were shining, and his thoughts were full of thoughts.
Rao Tu bit off the needle and thread, draped the wrinkled clothes on him, and then walked out of the kang towards the door.
Shen Zhu asked, "Where to go?" ”
Rao Di smiled back at him in a bright golden color, "Where are you going, do you need to ask Lord Shen?" ”
The intoxicating smile made Shen Zhu's heart tremble slightly, and he couldn't have a seizure for a while.
There is a beautiful woman in the peerless generation, one cares about the city, and then the country. He is a scholar, how can he not fall for it?
The wind in the mountains is strong, and the sun is abundant all day, and the bedding hanging on the stone has been dried through, Rao Tu took back the bedding, and found that there were some dry seedlings on the ground nearby, so she pulled some and brought them back.
After tidying up the bed and supporting Shen Fu to lie on the quilt, she took out the withered seedlings and asked what it was.
Shen Zhu looked at it in her hand, "Maybe it's the seedling stalk of the sweet potato." ”
When she heard this, she took a shovel to dig it, and sure enough, several sweet potatoes were dug out of the ground, and she couldn't help but be overjoyed, so she cleaned the mud on the sweet potatoes and buried them in the belly of the stove to stew.
Shen Zhu leaned on the dry quilt, watching her busy and busy, from time to time she brought a piece of dusty things.
He frowned, and although he could already smell the sweet potato, he still asked, "What is it?" ”
Rao Di peeled off the skin outside, and suddenly a strong fragrance came out, and the sweet potato meat inside was roasted golden and soft, and she broke half of it and sent it to Shen Zhu's eyes. Shen Zhu hesitated for a moment and reached out to take it.
"Uncle Shen is disgusted? Give it back to me if you don't eat it. ”
He quietly took the sweet potato in his hand closer, and said lightly: "You eat so much, aren't you afraid of dying of fat?" ”
Rao Tu raised her eyebrows, holding her half of the red potato and chewing slowly.
Shen Zhu hadn't eaten such a crude thing for a long time, and he was going to finish eating, and his intuition was sticky and unbearable.
Rao Tu eats her own food, and has no intention of bringing him water and washing her hands. Shen Zhu waited for a long time, only to feel that the sugar juice on his hands was dry, and she still hadn't eaten most of it, he finally couldn't bear it anymore, and said angrily: "You watched and ate all night?" ”
Rao Tu looked up and said, "How long do I want to eat, and you have to take care of this?" ”
Shen Zhu said coldly: "I want to wash my hands." ”
"If you want to wash your hands, go wash them, what do you want to tell me?"
"You ......"
She didn't shy away from looking at him, "What am I? Lord Shen thinks it's a matter of course for Rao to serve you? ”
Shen Zhu nodded, "Rao Tu...... You're good ......."
"Don't threaten me, I'm really scared." After being afraid, I will think of countermeasures, and be careful that I kill people to prevent future troubles. ”
Shen Zhu sneered: "Do you know what will happen to a woman who murders her husband in this dynasty?" ”
Rao Di stared at him for a long time, nodded and said, "So, I must do it seamlessly, so as not to be caught in prison and sentenced to a miserable end, which is not good." ”
Shen Zhu was so angry that he almost spit out a mouthful of blood, and after staring at him for a long time, he smiled and rubbed his chest considerately for him, "Don't be annoyed, don't you just wash your hands!" So go pour water. ”
She sent the remaining sweet potatoes to Shen Zhu, Shen Zhu didn't take it at first, she smiled, put the sweet potato directly to his mouth, and immediately rubbed him.
Shen Zhu was really annoyed now, he couldn't move his feet, but his hands were not broken, he grabbed Rao Di and pressed her down, and said viciously: "You think I really can't control you?" ”
Rao Tu was suppressed, pushed a few times and couldn't move, and smiled softly: "I'm joking, you are stingy and love to take it seriously!" ”
Who in the world would have thought that the amazing and brilliant Lord Huangmenlang Shen would be paralyzed with his legs at this time, his mouth full of sweet potato crumbs, and he would be angry with a little woman?
Sensing the gaffe, he slowly let go, a little frustrated. It seems that even if this woman is not Ah Yu, he will not be able to remain elegant and dignified in front of her forever.
Seeing that he was distracted, Rao Tu restrained the smile on his face, and was pitiful: "My lord, eat the rest of it, let's eat the last meal now, we can't waste it." ”
"Why don't you eat it?"
"Slaves are never allowed to eat much at night."
Shen Zhu sighed, helpless, so he had to take half of the sweet potato in her hand. Rao Di got out of his arms, and came back with a wet cotton towel, and he had already eaten the sweet potato, and sat there calmly, his black eyes as quiet as a deep pool, and he could not see joy or anger.
She knew that he had always been such a person, even if he was extremely angry and hateful, he knew how to remain quiet.
"Isn't Shen Lang tired?" She asked with a smile.
Shen Zhu raised his eyebrows, "What?" ”
"I mean, you've been sitting for a long time, aren't you tired?" She sat on the edge of the bed and meticulously wiped the sweet potato juice from his hands and mouth.
The sun was setting, and the house was soon dark. She helped Shen Zhu to lie down on the bed, and was about to get into the quilt as well, when she suddenly remembered something, hesitated for a moment, and felt a little embarrassed.
Shen Zhu asked, "What?" ”
"You...... Do you want to solve the problem? ”
Shen Zhu stiffened for a moment, then closed his eyes and said, "Not for the time being." ”
She slipped into the quilt, snuggled into his arms, and whispered softly in his ear: "Then tell me when you need it, and then talk to me." ”
Shen Zhu froze for a moment, then reached out to wrap his arms around her back.
Something, it's different.
The affection for a woman is no longer just the love between men and women, she seems to be snooping on his privacy, and invisibly makes the relationship between the two close.
He was a little resistant, but nostalgic. Many years ago, there was such a woman by his side.
On the second day, Rao found two sticks for him to make walking sticks. He barely managed to get out of the house, the light sunlight falling on his handsome face, turning his face pale.
The sound of springs everywhere is faint, and the sun shrouds the green pine in the distance, reflecting the color of the green pine more and more coldly.
Rao Tu said: "In Wang Wei's poems, I like the sentence 'the sound of the spring swallows the dangerous stone, the sun is cold and the green pine', this situation is like in the poem. ”
Shen Zhu said lightly: "So an ignorant woman, with a narrow pattern, doesn't know what a good poem is, and loves it when she sees a shallow sentence." ”
One sentence was very sullen, but there was nothing to refute, so he had to say: "If you talk about poetry, you naturally can't enter the eyes of Lord Shen." ”
The two came to the hot spring, Shen Zhu sniffed it carefully, and muttered: "This spring has yellow sand, the smell is extremely strong, or it can cure poison." ”
Rao Tu was thinking about the poisonous wound on his leg, but he said: "You have a strange poison in your body, and you don't know if it will be curative if you soak it here." ”
She didn't speak, squatted down to test the temperature of the water, and after a while, she smiled: "Take care of yourself first." ”
Shen Zhu let out a "hmm", supported his cane with one hand, and began to untie his clothes with the other.
Rao Tu suddenly came back to her senses, took a few steps back, and said in surprise: "What are you doing?" ”
He removed his coat and put on his undergarment, slightly exposing his chest, and then slowly sank into the water with his cane, and sat down on a large rock, the spring water just reaching his chest.
"When did you get embarrassed like that? It's a rarity. He glanced at Rao and blushed quietly, and said sarcastically.
Rao Tu snorted, raised her face and looked at him: "In broad daylight, I'm really not ashamed!" ”
He suddenly frowned slightly, pressed the wound on his leg, and saw through the mist that there was a fine foam surging around his wound, and his heart moved, and asked, "It hurts?" ”
He shook his head and said with a pained expression, "Bearable." ”
Rao Tu groaned slightly, and also took off her clothes and immersed herself in the water, except for the slight stinging pain of the wound on her calf cut by the boulder, there was no other discomfort on her body, and she couldn't help but be a little depressed.
There is no antidote, and there is no solution. The hot spring water here can relieve the poison of Shen Zhu's external injury, but it cannot cure the strange poison in his own body. She laughed at herself, and it was okay, since she had made her choice in the first place, she should suffer the bitter consequences at this time.
She dived into the water, and it was rare to find such a good place, so she simply washed her body well.
Shen Zhu saw that her expression was different, but he didn't ask much, and silently endured the stinging pain in the wound.
The sun gradually moved overhead, the fog on the water surface gradually disappeared, the sun shone on the water and the water was particularly clear, and the shadows of the two fell on the pebbles at the bottom of the pool. ”
Shen Zhu frowned, obviously not agreeing with this proposal, and looked at the clouds in the sky with a casual gaze, not planning to pay attention to it.
Rao Di picked up his cane, hit the surrounding bamboo branches a few times, and many green bamboo leaves fell on the water, and said to Shen Zhu: "These are all right, right?" Who can see the barren mountains and mountains? ”
Shen Zhu closed his eyes and recuperated, still ignoring it.
Rao Tu was bored and muttered, "Who wants to wash you?" Go back and find your sister Qingwei! He took off his little clothes and rubbed them himself.
Shen Zhu opened his eyes when he heard this, and vaguely saw her graceful figure under the bamboo leaves, as well as the red marks on the white jade-like skin, and he couldn't help frowning deeply.
On that day, she received a sword rune, and when she was in a trance, she just asked Yang Qian to protect her life, but she didn't expect that in the days when she was injured and unconscious, Pei Qingwei locked her in the dungeon and whipped her.
Forcibly brushed away the miscellaneous thoughts in his mind, he didn't want to think about these things, and he didn't dare to think about them, he owed Qingwei a debt, he would rather believe that Qingwei was not a vicious woman.
Rao Tu wrung out her clothes and hung them on the stone, and suddenly with a "pop", a wet piece of clothing smashed next to her, splashing countless water, Rao Tu picked up her underwear and pants in the water, and subconsciously looked at Shen Zhu.
Bamboo leaves spread all over the water, and nothing was seen. She lowered her head and rubbed her clothes, and a faint sandalwood fragrance emanated, which was the smell of Shen Zhu's body.
Everyone in the DPRK knows that Shen Zhu loves Tan, also known as Tanlang.
Rao Di was a little distracted, many years ago, she married this scholar despite her father's opposition, and the dowry was just a sandalwood hairpin.
She treasured it for a long time, thought about things and people for a long time, and finally broke the hairpin with her own hands on that rainy night.
Shen Zhu looked at her back casually, suddenly narrowed his eyes slightly, turned his head to look at the canyon beside him, and there were footsteps coming from inside.
He swam to Rao's side like a fish, snatched her half-washed clothes, wrapped her whole body, and hid her behind her.
Rao Di didn't understand what was going on, touching his solid and smooth back muscles, shining with a healthy color in the sun, her face was slightly red, and she was about to poke her head out and ask, but he reached out and pressed it back.
