When Xie Hong returned to the room, it was already dark outside, and he couldn't see his five fingers. Xie Hong has been in this era for more than half a year, and it is the first time he has seen such a big thunderstorm, and the rain has not yet fallen, which is already very impressive.

The Dong family is a big family, naturally it will not be like the Xie family, even the lights have to be saved, Xie Hong's house not only has oil lamps, but even a few candles. Seeing this, Xie Hong felt quite kind, candles are much more expensive than lamp oil, and after he came to this era, it was really rare.

Since there is no problem with the lighting, Xie Hong is going to start working, the thing he plans to do is quite complicated, and the difficulty of making it may even exceed the previous music box. Xie Hong felt that it was still necessary to hurry up, he didn't want to make things, but Imperial Doctor Gu had already returned to the capital.

While he was busy, a sudden gust of wind blew open the window, blowing out the oil lamps, and the room fell into darkness again. Xie Hong got up and closed the window, but saw the silver snake dancing in the sky, and a lightning bolt illuminated the earth in an instant, and then the roar of thunder also resounded between the heavens and the earth, like the sound of war drums from ancient times, one after another, without interruption.

It's just that Xie Hong seems to have heard other sounds, and he listens attentively, and in the interval between the thunder, the sound ...... It's clearly Qing'er's scream! Xie Hong was shocked, didn't wait to go out, went directly out of the window, and went straight to Qing'er's room.

Qing'er's room was next door, and Xie Hong rushed over in a few steps. Pushing open the door, the room was also dark, and the lightning that swept outside from time to time made Xie Hong see the little girl effortlessly.

The little girl held her head and hid in the corner, trembling, her appearance was very pitiful, which made Xie Hong's heart seem to be pinched by something, and her heart was painful.

"Qing'er, don't be afraid, I'm here." Although I don't know what happened to make Qing'er so frightened, but the most important thing now is to appease the little girl, Xie Hong stepped forward quickly and said softly.

"Wow......" Seeing Xie Hong, Qing'er found a support, and immediately threw herself into his arms and cried: "Brother Hong, Qing'er is so scared, thunder ...... It's horrible......"

It turned out that Qing'er was afraid of thunder, and knowing what happened, Xie Hong breathed a sigh of relief, and he comforted softly: "Qing'er is not afraid, there is a brother here." ”

"Hmm......" The voice was low, and Xie Hong felt that the little man in his arms was no longer trembling, and his body was not so stiff. It's just that the little girl's hands are still clenched tightly, as if she is afraid that if she lets go, she will lose her support.

The thunder continued to roar, and the raindrops of soybeans were blown by the wind on the window lattice, making a rapid sound. Xie Hong knew that this kind of heavy rain would not end soon, so he couldn't leave Qing'er here alone, he hesitated slightly, and said, "Qing'er, go to my brother's room." ”

When he said this, Xie Hong blushed a little, although it was to make the little girl no longer afraid, but he still felt that when he said this, it seemed that he had become a strange man who abducted the little girl.

"Hmm." The voice of the reply was still soft, almost inaudible, but the tone was unhesitatingly resolute.

When he returned to his room and locked the doors and windows, Xie Hong found that he couldn't do anything. Because Qing'er couldn't leave him for a while, a short time after he closed the window, the little girl trembled again, and Xie Hong, who felt sorry for the little girl, had no choice but to sit on the bed with her.

Qing'er's body was soft and warm, and after a while, Xie Hong felt that he was a little distracted, this is not good, he has to find something to distract himself, brother is a craftsman, not a beast.

"Was Qing'er afraid of thunder before?" After Xie Hong crossed, he had never encountered a thunderstorm, so it was the first time he knew that the little girl was so afraid of thunder.

"Hmmm......"

"Since when?"

"When Qing'er was very young, it was very dark...... It rained heavily...... Thunder is scary...... Father... Mother...... No ......" Lying in Brother Hong's warm arms, the little girl also relaxed. Hearing Xie Hong's question, the little girl thought about it intermittently, and the words she said were like a dream.

Speaking of the back, Qing'er seemed to remember the terrible scene in her memory, although she didn't tremble with fear again, she cried sadly.

"Qing'er, don't be afraid, I'm here." Xie Hong hurriedly comforted the little girl softly, but he was shocked in his heart. Qing'er's life experience, he didn't know at all, and even his mother was vague, it seemed that Xie's father suddenly brought it back one day, and then the Xie family moved out of Nanzhili's hometown and traveled thousands of miles to this border town.

Xie Hong had heard his mother say that the night Qing'er arrived at Xie's house, it was a thunderstorm, maybe ......

Qing'er's life experience is only known to Xie's father, but the old man died very early, Xie Hong thought that there was no way to know about it, but he didn't expect Qing'er to have some memories. It's just that this memory doesn't matter, Xie Hong looked down at the little girl's pear blossom with rain face, his heart was full of pity, and he couldn't ask the next words.

"Brother Hong, don't leave Qing'er, Qing'er will always be very well-behaved." The little girl suddenly raised her face, and her tone was pitiful.

"Qing'er is the most well-behaved, don't worry, why is my brother willing to leave you?" Gently wiping away the tears that glistened on that little face, the softest place in Xie Hong's heart was touched. yes, how can you give it? This little girl is the reason why she came to this era, and her appearance is to protect her and not let her suffer any grievances.

"Gentle Qing'er, hard-working Qing'er, crying Qing'er, little girl, you are my brother's little angel, and my brother will always protect Qing'er." I couldn't help it for a while, Xie Hong said softly.

"Really?" At that moment, another bright light flashed outside the window, and Xie Hong clearly saw the brilliance on the little girl's face, "Brother Hong, you are so good...... Qing'er was very happy, lowered her head, and gently leaned on Xie Hong's chest.

It was already late at night, and after a long day, Xie Hong also felt tired. It's just that the rain is still falling, leaving Qing'er alone in the house, Xie Hong is not at ease. So...... Xie Hong was a little embarrassed.

"Brother Hong, are you tired?" Qing'er is a sensible little girl, and she can see Xie Hong's exhaustion.

"Uh, it's okay......" Xie Hong was at a loss.

"Brother Hong, rest early." Qing'er's face was red, and her voice was small, but very resolute. As he spoke, he turned around and spread out the quilt.

Someone made the bed, and by the way, warmed the bed, this was Xie Hong's highest dream in his previous life, and there was no one. But when he was really there, Xie Hong's performance was very bad, lying straight on the bed, his body stiff.

The small body in his arms was still so soft and warm. However, when Qing'er's thin breathing sounded in his ears, and the slightest trace of heat lingered around his neck, Xie Hong's pressure was even greater.

"Brother Hong, don't you like Qing'er?" The little girl asked suddenly.

"How so? My brother likes Qing'er the most. "Yes, it's good to talk, Xie Hong relaxed a little.

"That'...... Qing'er is already Brother Hong's person, if ...... Brother Hong wants to ...... Qing'er ...... Will be very happy ......" In the gap between the thunder, the soft voice loomed, listening to Xie Hong's ears, but it was like a bigger thunderbolt, struck him.

"This ......, that ......" Xie Hong fell into a state of confusion, and the calmness of the proud craftsman disappeared, and he was talking nonsense, but he didn't know what he wanted to say. Do you like Qing'er? Of course I like it, but Qing'er is too young, we can't be beasts.

"Does Brother Hong dislike Qing'er?" As soon as she said that, Qing'er felt that her face was so hot, and she felt that she was too bad, how could she say such a thing? But the person who spoke was Brother Hong, so ...... It doesn't seem so bad anymore? But why did Brother Hong ...... Is it disgusting to yourself? Qing'er's voice carried a hint of resentment.

Xie Hong keenly captured this resentment, he forgot about his nervousness, and hurriedly explained: "No, it's Qing'er who is too young. ”

Too small? Qing'er felt very aggrieved, she was obviously thirteen years old and could get married. Brother Hong lied to people, and the little girl's eyes were red again.

No way? Too small to say? Xie Hong's head was big, and he explained in a panic: "It's not that I dislike Qing'er, it's just that the book says that girls have to grow up to get married, which is good for their health." Well, too small is harmful to the body, right! That's it, in a few years, when Qing'er grows up, my brother will marry Qing'er, okay? ”

The nonsense explanation had an effect, and I didn't know that the sentence touched the little girl, and the tears rolling in her eyes were gone, Xie Hong saw Qing'er's little face blushing, and buried her head in her arms.

Wow, brother, this craftsman is still very good at talking. After the crossing, his ability to express himself seemed to have increased, and Xie Hong was very pleased with this.

"Brother Hong is pitying Qing'er." Leaning in the warmest embrace, the little girl who got the promise was very relieved, and the thunder outside was still very loud, but Qing'er was not afraid at all.

The rain did not stop, the people did not sleep, and the night was longer.
