How to deal with a nightmare when a person has a nightmare? The easiest way to do this is, of course, to wake him or her up right away. At this moment, Lu Ren saw that Cai Yan was struggling in a nightmare dream, and the expression on his face looked so helpless and frightened, he couldn't help but sigh lightly and walked to the couch, stretched out his hand to wake Cai Yan up: "Hey, hey!" Akihime, wake up, wake up! ”

After several pushes and pats, Cai Yan finally woke up from the nightmare. Suddenly opened his eyes and saw Lu Ren standing on the edge of the couch, Cai Yan almost completely subconsciously threw himself into Lu Ren's arms, hugged Lu Ren with both arms, his frightened face was still full of fear, and even his voice was trembling: "Yi, Yihao, is it you?" Help me, help me!! ”

“……”

Lu Ren didn't expect Cai Yan to react like this, and being hugged tightly by Cai Yan like this made him a little at a loss for a while, and he was stunned for a few seconds before reacting. And for such a situation, as long as you are not a stupid person, you know what to do, so Lu Ren raised his hand and stroked Cai Yan's back and said, "Okay, okay, okay, okay, you're just having a nightmare, and now it's okay when you wake up." ”

Cai Yan was close to Lu Ren's arms like this. Perhaps it was because Lu Ren's comfort gave her that gave her a sense of security, and her heavy breathing gradually calmed down. After a long time, Cai Yan finally came to his senses completely, and the person naturally calmed down completely.

But the next moment, Cai Yan realized something, and reluctantly raised his head to look at Lu Ren, but it happened to be intertwined with Lu Ren's gaze. And the two of them looked at each other like this for a second at most, Cai Yan screamed, and only retracted into the couch in an instant, and the whole person curled up in a ball, and his eyes no longer dared to look at Lu Ren.

“……”

Lu Ren was speechless when he saw this, but he could more or less understand Cai Yan's current situation. But now that Lu Ren didn't know how to speak, it was very awkward and delicate between the two.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps in the corridor, but after hearing Cai Yan's screams, he thought something had happened and rushed here to take a look, but this made Lu Ren come back to his senses, and he was busy stopping in front of the door and said, "It's okay, it's okay, Miss Cai just had a nightmare...... A girl's family has encountered something like that, you all know that. ”

After glancing at each other, they all nodded abruptly and retreated. Indeed, it is very common for a weak woman to suddenly have some reactions such as nightmares.

After riding away, Lu Ren turned his back to Cai Yan, leaned his back against the pillar, and said softly, "Are you okay?" It's not what I did to you just now, it's that you hugged me as soon as you woke up! Besides, if you were scared like that, whoever else would comfort you. ”

“…… I—I know...... Yoshiho, thank you ......"

“…… Don't thank you, in fact, even if you hate me in your heart, it's normal. I just want you to understand me a little while you hate me. Okay, don't talk about all this idleness, your mood should have calmed down, right? Everything I need to pack up, I've found a place to live. ”

Where is Cai Yan still having anything to pack at this time? To put it mildly, she has nothing left, and the only thing she has to pack up is to tidy up the clothes on her body. And when that happened yesterday, Cai Yan simply slept in his clothes, and then turned around in a nightmare, and Zhou was indeed in a mess. At this moment, seeing his appearance, Cai Yan responded in a low voice, left the couch and began to tidy up Zhou's body.

It is said that when a girl is tidying up her clothes, she will kick the men around her out of the room. Cai Yan originally wanted to open this mouth to Lu Ren, but when she saw Lu Ren with her back to her, in a state of mind that was indescribable and unclear, Cai Yan did not open this mouth to Lu Ren, and even vaguely hoped that Lu Ren was next to her, because then her heart would be more steady.

Soon Zhou's clothes were tidied up, Cai Yan touched his long hair, which was already messy, and asked Lu Ren completely subconsciously, "Do you have a hair comb?" ”

Lu Ren reached into his sleeve, took out a small comb and handed it to Cai Yan with his backhand. Don't be surprised, the ancients paid attention to "the body hair and skin, the parents who receive it, not lightly wasted", so both men and women have full hair, and full hair is indispensable to comb from time to time, so the hair comb is one of the essential supplies to carry around. Although Lu Ren is a traverser, he has to "follow the customs" in this era, and it has been more than three years since he crossed over, and his hair has long grown, and it is normal to have a comb on his body.

However, although the comb was handed over, Lu Ren remembered that women's grooming is often very time-consuming, but there were still people waiting for him outside the inn, so he turned around and said to Cai Yan: "Comb your hair in the car, there are still people waiting outside." ”

Cai Yan replied in a low voice and asked, "Where are you going?" ”

Lu Ren said: "Outside the city of Xu County, Gong Cao temporarily borrowed a hunting house for me to live in temporarily. Later, after the new houses in Xuxian County are built, they will move into the city...... Oh, for the time being, I'll take care of you first, and when it's almost time, the Cao Guild will pick you up. ”

Cai Yan was slightly stunned: "Gong Cao...... Is it Gunzhou Mu Cao Mengde? ”

Lu Ren said: "Now he is a general under one person and above ten thousand." As far as I know, Cao Gong and Ling Zun have an old relationship, and now thinking of these old feelings, I believe that Cao Gong will take good care of the daughter of an old friend. ”

Cai Yan was stunned again, and said hesitantly: "He actually became a general?" So、What about you? ”

Lu Ren laughed and said, "Me? I'm just a small county order. ”

Cai Yan was secretly stunned, and wanted to tell Lu Ren that what she asked was not what she meant, but Cai Yan really couldn't open this mouth. Seeing that Lu Ren had already walked outside the house, Cai Yan could only bite his lip silently, and silently lowered his head and followed behind Lu Ren.

Those who should get on the horse got on the horse, those who should board the car, and after going out of the city, they walked for more than ten miles and came to Cao Cao's hunting villa. The so-called hunting villa is actually a small village with dozens of families, most of whom are the children of the Cao family or the Xia Hou family and domestic slaves. usually farms and hunts for a living, and takes care of Cao Cao's villa again, which was a very common situation for large families at that time.

It may be that Cao Cao has already sent someone to inform the people here, so as soon as Lu Ren entered the village, someone greeted him, and after asking about the situation, he invited Lu Ren's group to the house. The living area of this kind of house is not large, and the emphasis is on elegance and simplicity rather than luxury...... Lu Ren actually didn't care much about this, mainly to see how Cai Yan would react. But it seems that Cai Yan didn't say anything, so he let Cai Yan live in the backyard, and Lu Ren himself lived in the side house in the middle courtyard. As for Cao Cao's room, Lu Ren didn't dare to occupy it.

For the time being, Lu Ren and Cai Yan have settled down. However, Lu Ren has no entourage by his side now, and several of the servants who followed Lu Ren before were Cao Ang's direct subordinates, and as soon as they arrived at the ground, they were sent back to Cao Ang's side, and the current attendants are residents of the village. And in this case, every time in the dead of night, Lu Ren will think of Wan'er who is still in Puyang, as well as the three little ghosts, after all, these people are Lu Ren's people in the real sense.

Cai Yan didn't make much movement there, he usually stayed in the backyard in a daze, and occasionally came out to see Lu Ren and greet each other. However, there are some books in Cao Cao's villa, and Cai Yan can read the books, and he will not be idle.

In this way, it was calm for two days, and suddenly a group of people came here to see Lu Ren, among which there was an edict from the court, which issued an edict saying that Lu Ren was appointed as the trial guard of Xu Du Ling, and led the captain of Tuntian as before, and then a bunch of people handed over a bunch of drawings and related materials to Lu Ren.

Lu Ren knew in his heart about this matter, just like in Puyang Tuntian before, now Lu Ren is responsible for expanding the city of Xu County, and he must have a corresponding position to facilitate things, so he will be transferred to Xu Duling...... At this time, Xu County will be renamed Xudu.

As for the appointment of this by the court, not directly appointed by Cao Cao, to put it bluntly, Cao Cao has to put on a respectful appearance to the Han court at this time, so all the appointments of officials must be made by the court on the surface, not by Cao Cao himself.

What's more, Xu Duling is equivalent to the mayor of the modern capital city, in the Qing Dynasty, he was called the Admiral of Jiumen, although in this era he could not be included in the list of important ministers of the court such as the Three Princes and the Nine Secretaries, but because of the particularity of the scope of authority, he also had the qualifications to discuss politics in the court. And such an official position, it is really inconvenient for Cao Cao at this point to be directly appointed by him.

However, after a large number of people left, the previous chaotic scene finally calmed down, and Lu Ren also checked the drawings and materials sent by the pile of people in the corridor. was frowning and thinking hard, and suddenly found that Cai Yan sat on his side at some point, and when he turned his head to look, Cai Yan lowered his head and said softly: "Congratulations, Yihao, congratulations on your promotion to the position of Xu Duling." Although the capital order is still only a county order, its position is only below Jiuqing, and it is the first of many county orders in the world. ”

Lu Ren turned his head and continued to examine the patterns that gave him a headache, and his mouth responded absentmindedly: "The head of the county orders in the world? It may seem like a beautiful thing, but only those in his position know that it's a chore. In contrast, I prefer to find a quiet and peaceful place to spend my life, and at worst, it is enough to be the prefectural commander of a peaceful county where there is not much to do. But now...... Alas, don't talk about it, now it's really my sister who can't help herself! If these things are not done well, my mind will leave my neck at any time. ”
