Chapter 44: Weak Mind
"I'll accompany you to boil water. Sister Fang Cai also asked Qu Zhutou to check door to door, and I secretly pinched my sweat, isn't that Xiaoba's matter...... I can't hide it. ”
Li Wan thought of this question again and hurriedly asked.
Think about the consequences of knowing that two big girls hid a man in their home and were known.
And a mute man with a serious injury.
This is spread out, not to mention how the reputation of the two of them is, for fear that people will know that Li Meng hurt people, whether they will eat prison or not, this is more important.
"Sister forgot that Hachi is at home?"
Compared with Li Meng's calmness, Li Wan's tone was obviously a little eager.
"Didn't forget." Li Meng smiled, "Besides, how could those people agree to search the family, isn't this revealing the family background?" ”
"Exposing your family?"
Li Wan didn't understand, and his hands were not idle, he was riding firewood.
"As the saying goes, wealth is not exposed, each family always has its own bottom, who wants to let outsiders know? What's more, Grandma Li just accidentally ate stone powder, and it didn't hinder her life. Who is not a fool, how could he agree to my proposal. ”
Li Meng added a full pot of water to the pot.
"My sister is really thoughtful."
Li Wan added several more handfuls of firewood, and this party was convinced.
How could she forget that she had been with Li Meng for most of the month, as if she had re-acquainted with her, the years when the two had been together in the past seemed to be a dream of Huang Liang, and it became distant and blurred in her memory......
"The water is hot, I'll take a basin of water to the small eight rooms first, and you wash and sleep by yourself. Tomorrow we will do nothing and have a good rest. ”
Li Meng smiled helplessly.
glanced at Li Wan, who was in a trance, this little girl had a lot of thoughts, and began to wander away while talking to her.
It seems that experiencing too many things can also force people to think.
Although Li Wan was born as a maid, but she grew up in a deep mansion, in the end, her temperament is still simple, can the ancient slave be allowed to have other thoughts besides obeying the master?
She can think for herself, and that's a good thing.
Li Meng didn't want to disturb her, so he went to the small eight rooms with hot water.
The candles in the room were flickering, the flames were still small, and Xiao Ba was sitting at the head of the bed, his face was dark and unknown, but a pair of dark eyes looked directly at Li Meng.
"Hey, you haven't slept yet? Just, wash up, I just boiled hot water. ”
I wonder if it was the big movement next door that woke him up? Or did he not sleep all the time?
I didn't plan for Hachi to give her any response, but I saw him shake his head firmly.
Li Meng was a little strange, he rarely expressed his emotions.
"What's wrong?"
Li Meng put down the basin, wrung out the towel for him, and handed it to him, "Quickly wipe your face and hands." ”
The other party didn't move, and Li Meng didn't move.
In the end, Xiaoba still stretched out his hand, reluctantly took the towel with hot residue, and had to wipe his face and hands a few times under Li Meng's eager eyes.
"That's good."
The corners of Li Meng's mouth hooked, and he subconsciously praised it, "Hygiene is a good habit, and you will understand it later." ”
Hachi's face turned pale for a while, and his hands were heavier when he returned her towel.
Of course Li Meng doesn't mind, the difference between Xiaoba's age and her actual age is about ten years old, is it difficult for her to really care about young people?
She is still very self-contained.
It's probably because Hachi doesn't like her obsession with personal hygiene, so she will be rejected!
It's all too normal for young people to be stubborn.
"So I'm out? You sleep! ”
After Li Meng closed the doors and windows, he happily returned to the kitchen with the basin of water.
Li Wan was no longer visible, and it seemed that she had gone to sleep after washing.
Seeing that there was still half a pot of water left in the pot, it was steaming hot.
Li Meng made up his mind to take a shower tonight.
I was scared into a cold sweat on the road at night, and after the cold wind blew, the greasy underwear stuck to the skin was quite uncomfortable.
Li Meng likes to take a bath, but in ancient times, just fetching water was quite physically demanding, and in order to save unnecessary physical strength, she mostly coped with washing.
Thinking of not doing anything tomorrow, she was ready to take a bath.
Soothe and soothe the tiredness of the day.
Most of these ancient baths were carried out in the bath room, but fortunately, it was not far from the kitchen, and it took Li Meng half an hour to fill the bath bucket and prepare a change of clothes.
Finally got into the tub.
The body was suddenly surrounded by a warm temperature, and it was extremely light.
The heat slowly pounded against his temples, and Li Meng sighed contentedly, and leaned his head against the edge of the barrel, drowsy.
"Bang."
She opened her eyes.
Quietly, is she asleep dreaming?
I couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
"Bang bang bang!"
It's coming from the direction of the kitchen, it's not a dream!
I don't feel sleepy.
"Sister?"
Li Meng cleared his throat and shouted tentatively.
No one answered, and the thumping sound stopped.
Li Meng frowned, remembering the rumors that there was a shadow on the wall of her house, and her eyes were suddenly clouded, could it be a thief?
Quickly got up from the water, wrapped up her well-changed pajamas again, and didn't care about the dispersal of her hair, grabbed a stick outside the bathroom and rushed towards the kitchen.
The kitchen was brightly lit, but as soon as I entered the door, I saw the wide figure, and the kitchen suddenly seemed crowded.
"Hachi?"
Li Meng put down the stick, she was going to hit it again by mistake, and it would really be a bad person who couldn't wash it.
The back figure was stunned for a moment, and slowly turned his head.
I saw that he was holding a bun in his hand, chewing half of it, and found that Li Meng was looking at him and looked away unnaturally.
"What are you...... Hungry? ”
Li Meng's tension disappeared in an instant.
The other party chewed vigorously a few more times, swallowed the bun in his mouth viciously, and then nodded.
"You went out on your own?"
Li Meng couldn't cry or laugh, no wonder he was in his room, he was wrong, it turned out that he was hungry, so he sneaked into the kitchen to find food.
"Find a stool to sit on, and I'll make you a bowl of noodles."
Li Meng didn't say a word, and rolled up his sleeves.
Not to mention, her stomach growled.
Hachi limped down against the wall in the corner of the kitchen.
His eyes unconsciously looked at the woman who was busy in front of the stove.
Be good as flowing.
These four words popped up in my mind inexplicably.
She was so disheveled in front of a man, and her hair was boiled.
Does she not see herself as a man, or does she not see herself as a woman?
The slightly open neckline revealed a small piece of white skin, and as soon as her eyes moved, she saw that her cheeks were shining red, and Chu Jingyuan rolled her throat.
Damn it!
Was this woman seducing him?
Or is she the way she behaves, no matter which man is here?
Chu Jingyuan pursed his lips and forced himself to look away, there are many women in the world with such a posture, and it is ridiculous that he actually thinks ......
It's not enough.
It must have been because of his injury that his mind was so weak.
