The town where Chu He was temporarily hiding was hundreds of miles away from the capital, and even if Hu Chong traveled day and night, it would take at least three days at the speed of a horse-drawn carriage; In addition, Chu Xingyue was still pregnant, so he naturally didn't dare to overwork her, so it took the four of them nearly seven days to get to the small courtyard where Chu He and Peach Blossom Eye were temporarily staying.

It was an afternoon of autumn rain just falling, and the trees on both sides of the street were washed very clean by the rain, and the slightly withered yellow leaves were knocked down to the ground by the rain, mixed with the gray-yellow soil, and the ground was full, and from a distance it looked like a yellow carpet had been laid out, which made people want to step on it.

There was a faint coolness in the air, but because of the rain, the fishy smell of the earth mixed with the thin rain was floating in the air, which made people smell uncomfortable; On the contrary, after taking a deep breath, I suddenly felt an acceptable coolness flow from my nose to my chest, and then flow down the blood to my limbs, and the feeling of relaxation and happiness immediately came to my face.

This kind of very comfortable feeling has not been experienced by Chu Xingyue for a long time, she chatted about the car curtain like a child, greedily stretched out her face and squinted her eyes, breathing in a big gulp of this smell that made her feel familiar and very comfortable.

Seeing her action, Xiao Ruiyuan and Hu Chong, who were riding horses, both looked at each other, and both of them smiled with satisfaction on their faces.

In the past few days, they could see that Chu Xingyue's mood was sluggish, and she could show such a comfortable expression, and the hearts they had been worried about were finally a little more steady; also slowly felt that taking her away from the capital might not be as bad as imagined; A new her is being born.

Chu He and Peach Blossom Eyes, who had already received a notice and knew that Chu Xingyue and his party would arrive today, were waiting at the gate of the small courtyard early in the morning, but they looked forward to it from morning to noon, and from noon to mid-afternoon, seeing that it would be dark in another hour or two, but they hadn't come yet, Chu He and Peach Blossom Eyes thought that they had something happened on the road, and finally saw a carriage slowly swaying from a distance; And the people riding on the horses on both sides of the carriage were not Hu Chong and Xiao Ruiyuan, who they were familiar with.

The moment he saw the carriage, Chu He was almost the first to rush out, ran quickly to the carriage, opened a pair of eyes very similar to Chu Xingyue, and opened his mouth to shout Chu Xingyue's nickname: "Yue'er? Are you there? ”

Hearing Chu He's voice, the faint smile on Chu Xingyue's face immediately disappeared, and was replaced by tears that were about to overflow in his eyes.

Seeing Chu Xingyue like this, Chun Xingyue hurriedly persuaded her: "Miss, don't forget what Master Wuchen said to you before leaving, don't shed tears easily, otherwise it will not be good for the child in the womb." ”

Since Chu Xingyue became pregnant, she began to become sentimental, and her feelings were also very fragile, and her mood was sluggish at every turn, and on the other hand, she really loved tears more and more.

In order to deal with her 'symptoms', Wuchen came up with a way to deal with it, that is, every time she cried, she immediately asked the people around her to remind her that it would be bad for her child to do so; Chu Xingyue, who wanted to be a good mother, was naturally reluctant to let her child have a little accident again, so as long as she heard this sentence, she could hold back her tears almost immediately;

Sure enough, after listening to Chun Xing's words, Chu Xingyue quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe away the tears on her face, and then rearranged her mood, and Chun Xing lifted the curtain with her support, and saw her eldest brother Chu He, who was anxiously waiting outside the carriage and looked up.

Because of a series of changes, all the people involved in it became thin and haggard within a few days, not to mention that Chu He was also seriously injured, so when she saw his obviously sunken cheeks and slightly pale complexion, Chu Xingyue was not much surprised, only indescribably distressed.

In this world that was completely alien to her, she never felt that she would have real relatives, knowing Chu He's appearance, the sense of dependence and familiarity born from her heart made her immediately let go of all psychological defenses against the man in front of her; Seeing him is like seeing the warmest home and harbor, no matter how much wind and rain she has endured outside, as long as there is a place where he is, she can rest assured.

This kind of feeling is that even Zhao Ling can't give it to her.

Chu Xingyue knew that the reason why she felt this way was because of the existence of this body's familiarity with her real relatives; Because Chu He and Chu Bingyue are brothers and sisters connected by blood, they will rely so much on peace of mind when they see their brother appear; And it turned out that her decision to let go of Chu He's guard was completely correct, because this man was indeed using his life to protect her and protect her.

When she knew what Chu He was doing to Zhou Yanran, Chu Xingyue knew that in this world, maybe everyone betrayed her, but her father and brother would always be on her side and protect her.

Therefore, when she saw Chu He looking at him with a longing eye, Chu Xingyue jumped off the carriage almost quickly, regardless of the exclamation of Chun Xing behind her, like a young bird returning to the nest, she immediately flew into Chu He's arms, hugged her most trusted brother tightly, and almost cried again.

Chu He also took Chu Xingyue into his arms steadily, in fact, after the two of them grew up, he didn't hold his sister as often as he did when he was a child, and his sister gradually took on a fair lady posture in front of him as he grew older, and he would not lean on his body like when he was a child, let him carry it on his back.

didn't expect that the little sister who is now married will be like a child after experiencing so many things, and she will rely on him again like a child, just like when she was a child, snuggling him tightly, as if only by relying on him, she will show a smile with peace of mind.

This feeling has not been felt for many years, so the moment Chu Xingyue threw herself into his arms, Chu He also hugged her tightly, because he knew that she had also suffered a lot during this time.

"Yue'er, it's okay, everything is fine."

Chu He felt Chu Xingyue trembling in his arms, so, as if comforting a child, one hand hugged her waist, and the other hand gently patted her back; He had already learned from the news from Hu Chong that she was pregnant, so he put the action of patting her back very lightly, so light that it was like the touch of some kind of small animal, soft and soft; If it weren't for the personal experience, Chu Xingyue probably didn't expect that a tough man like Chu He, who holds a weapon all the year round, would also touch a girl with such a warm action.

Maybe Chu He's body has too strong stabilizing ability, so under his soft comfort, Chu Xingyue's excited mood finally gradually calmed down; She was helped by Chu He into the courtyard, which was a small courtyard with a fairly elegant environment, with a high grape trellis in the courtyard, and autumn chrysanthemums in full bloom, and the three houses were neatly arranged, and there was a warm light coming out of the room; Chu He took her into the house in the middle.

As soon as Chu Xingyue walked into the room, she felt a warm rush to her face, and then looked at the layout of the room, it was also very clean and simple, a bed, a dresser, a wide wardrobe, a table, chairs and a few round stools.

Chu He directly helped Chu Xingyue to sit on the round stool, and then took the warm handkerchief handed by Chun Xing and wiped her hands for her personally, before raising his head to look at her and asking, "Are you tired?" Do you need to take a break now? ”

Looking at Chu He, who treated himself as a glass man, Chu Xingyue took his hand and asked him to sit beside him, then glanced at the people around him, and conveyed his meaning without words.

And Chun Xing and several others, who understood her meaning, walked out of the room in turn, leaving this warm house to the pair of brothers and sisters who had been reunited for a long time.

When the room was completely quiet, Chu Xingyue looked at Chu He who was sitting next to her by the light, and saw that although he had lost a lot of weight, his complexion was not bad, so she was finally at ease.

"Big brother, don't worry, I'm not tired, Hu Chong took good care of me all the way, the carriage was slow, I'm fine."

As she spoke, Chu Xingyue looked in the direction of Chu He's back, thinking of Chu He's injuries that Hu Chong described to her, she couldn't help frowning, "Big brother, what about the injuries on your body?" Are you all right? ”

"A man like me who marches and fights, he doesn't often get a little injured on his body to be unexpected, don't worry, I haven't paid attention to this injury, I can rest for a few days, it's Hu Chong who makes too much of a fuss, but they want me to calm down and recuperate, so I delay the time to find you."

Hu Chong and Peach Blossom Eye are both people in the rivers and lakes, and they are both martial arts masters, so Chu Xingyue would not believe that people like them would not be able to distinguish between minor injuries and serious injuries; So Chu He said this, just to let her not worry.

Since he understood his hard work, Chu Xingyue naturally would not puncture the injury that he deliberately concealed in his words, and said: "Regardless of whether the injury is light or serious, the eldest brother must take care of it well, and he must not be reckless just because he is a person who practices martial arts; As for me, you don't have to worry, don't you know what I'm capable of? In this world, I am the only one who makes others suffer and suffer, where would I be willing to suffer a little grievance? ! So big brother, you don't have to worry too much about me at all, look, I'm not trying to find a way to come out and find you. ”

Looking at the smile on Chu Xingyue's face as before, Chu He only felt extremely sour in his heart; He found that since then, his squeamish, innocent sister had grown up, and now, she could hide her pain to comfort his brother.

However, looking at her like this, he did not feel the slightest joy, but was extremely distressed.
