Cloudy, thunder and lightning swept the darkness of the sky, and it seemed as if it was going to rain in the next moment, and the villagers gradually dispersed, leaving only a few people behind.

Looking at Ling Xue and Wang Shuang, who were still chasing and fighting, the eyes of the two mothers became softer and softer, and they couldn't help but wipe away tears when they were able to witness the children's happy growth.

Wang Qian pulled Ling Chu into the room quietly, as if she had something to talk about alone.

After a long time, Wang Qiang said, "Lao Ling, let's go and drink two cups, these days the monkey child is not here, I don't have the heart to dip, now that they are all back safely, I have to get drunk and rest if I say anything today!"

Without waiting for Ling Zhengyun to answer, Wang Qiang dragged his arm to the backyard, and the latter sighed helplessly and muttered.

"You're a well-known wine jar, I've never seen you get drunk..."

The bamboo and wood are indoors, accompanied by a faint fragrance of bamboo, Wang Qian pulled Ling Chu to sit on a purple bamboo bed, and said with a smile, "Sister, you see that Shuang'er and Xue'er are not young this year, and the relationship is so good, you said otherwise, just tell the two of them about the marriage, right?"

"Indeed, I see that these two children are so happy together, and it's time to tell them. ”

Hearing Wang Qian's words, Ling Chu seemed very happy.

Her daughter is notoriously arrogant and unreasonable in the village, Wang Shuang's kindness to her can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, after all, everyone hopes that their daughter can marry a man who protects her and loves her, in his eyes, Wang Shuang is the most suitable candidate.

Meanwhile......

"But, damn it, you stop me..."

With her hands on her hips and her hips on her back, Ling Xue panted towards Wang Shuang, who was running wildly.

"You're stupid to me, you should clean me up again when you stop, I'm not that stupid. ”

Hearing this, Ling Xue pursed her mouth dissatisfiedly, then slowly knelt on the ground, and finally hid her face and cried.

Realizing that the situation was not good, Wang Shuang hurriedly turned around and ran back to Ling Xue's side, his face was at a loss with a flustered expression, and he could only apologize.

"I'm sorry Cher, I know it's wrong, I shouldn't have said something like that, you know I don't speak much, I..."

Even though Wang Shuang racked her brains to apologize and comfort, Ling Xue didn't seem to appreciate it, and judging from her body shaking from crying, it became more and more intense.

"Haha, Brother Wang Shuang is so stupid, he can be fooled by this!"

Ling Xue, who could no longer hold back her laughter, sneered, and then flew behind Wang Shuang's back and kept beating him.

However, no matter how you look at it, it looks like you are beating your back, and there is no lethality at all, but Wang Shuang still cooperates and begs for mercy.

"Cher, don't fight, I'm wrong. ”

"Hmph, admit your mistakes and want to solve the problem, I'm tired of running so far, I'll forgive you if you carry me back!"

"Then you'd better beat me up. ”

"Die!"

Hearing such a decisive answer, Ling Xue stomped her foot angrily, pushed Wang Shuang hard and turned away.

Before the poor Wang Shuang could stand firmly, he fell to the ground again, and his fingers happened to be scratched by the branches on the ground.

Soon, a thin red line appeared on the wound, and he couldn't help but frown.

Ahead, after walking a few steps, he didn't hear the slightest movement behind him, and the annoyed Ling Xue turned around and was about to get angry, but he saw Wang Shuang, who pursed his lips and frowned.

Slightly puzzled, he slowly moved his gaze down, and after seeing the bloodstained branch on the ground, he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart, and immediately returned quickly.

"I'm sorry Brother Wang Shuang, Xue'er didn't mean it, I, woo woo woo ......"

Looking at Ling Xue, who blamed herself and felt remorseful, Wang Shuang hurriedly coaxed, "Xue'er is fine, it's all my fault for being careless..."

The outstretched hand retracted again, because he didn't want blood to get on Ling Xue's white face.

In the midst of the lightning, Ling Xue grabbed Wang Shuang's retracted palm, put the injured finger in her mouth, and sucked it gently.

His heart trembled, and Wang Shuang, who could hardly resist such an ambiguous action, couldn't help but snort.

Smelling the faint fragrance of the girl's sweat and body fragrance combined, Wang Shuang couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

"Gollum..."

Swallowing saliva unconsciously, Wang Shuang looked a little stupid.

Facing Wang Shuang's scorching eyes, Ling Xue's little face quickly flushed, but she didn't let go of the fingers in her mouth, she just lowered her head, not daring to look directly at the young man's burning gaze.

After a long time, Ling Xue took out the fingers in her mouth, and after carefully observing to make sure that there was no blood left, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking up at the young man who was still staring at him, he was both happy and shy, and said shyly, "Brother Wang Shuang, Xue'er, is there anything strange on Xue'er's face?"

The girl's soft words pulled Wang Shuang back to reality from his endless reverie, and then stammered in response, "Uh, no, no..."

After being silent for a while, Wang Shuang turned his back and squatted on the ground, "Xue'er come up, let's go home." ”

"Brother Wang Shuang, I..."

Thinking of what she had done before, Ling Xue couldn't help but reddened her eyes again, her appearance was touching and lovable.

Seeing this, Wang Shuang hurriedly teased, "I said it's okay, it's not like you now... uh..."

"Hmph, just now I was just polite to you for the sake of your injury!"

Without waiting for Wang Shuang to finish speaking, he saw Ling Xue turn over and jump and lie on his back gently.

"Brother Wang Shuang, did Xue'er annoy you just now?"

Hearing this cowardly inquiry, Wang Shuang smiled slightly and said, "Fool, no matter what you do, I won't hate you." ”

"Hmm......"

"Brother Wang Shuang, if you are tired, take a rest. ”

"Fool, how can you be tired after walking so much, do you remember that time you went to play, and when you came back, you pretended to twist your foot, but I carried you all day!"

"No, I really twisted my foot that time!"

"Well, well, Cher didn't lie. ”

"It's meant to be... By the way, Brother Wang Shuang, why have you always put up with Xue'er and never been angry with Xue'er?"

After thinking for a long time, Wang Shuang, whose cheeks were slightly red, whispered, "Because, because I don't want to make Xue'er unhappy, I don't want to see you crying or frustrated expression, in that case, I will be very troubled..."

Hearing these warm words, Ling Xue bit her lip and smiled shyly, but tears fell quietly.

"Cher, actually, I..."

Before he finished speaking, hearing the sound of breathing from behind him, Wang Shuang shook his head with a wry smile, the sentence he held in his heart was never spoken, he bowed his body, trying to make Ling Xue, who was lying on top of him, sleep more comfortably.

"Brother Wang Shuang, Xue'er will definitely be obedient in the future, don't hate Xue'er, Xue'er... Xue'er just hopes that Brother Wang Shuang will let me do a little bit and spoil me a little, but in fact, Xue'er really likes it, I like Brother Wang Shuang so much..."

"Well, what?"

The whispering from behind him made Wang Shuang stop, but because the voice was too subtle, he didn't hear a word clearly.

At the same time, the sky became darker, and the wind was already mixed with a little rain, and when Wang Shuang saw this, he quickened his pace and walked home.

Outside the village......

"Lao Zhang, why are you back, those cows on the mountain don't care?!"

The villagers, who were busy collecting their clothes, couldn't help but ask after seeing an old man with a dark face.

Lao Zhang is a herdsman in the village, it is said that a long time ago for some reason a person came here alone, because there was no money to marry a daughter-in-law, more than half a hundred years old is still a single, but the body is very tough, so many villagers asked him to help take care of the cattle and sheep on the mountain.

"I'll go home and get something to eat, and I'll go up the mountain later, and you can't lose that cow." ”

Seeing Lao Zhang's unhappy face, the villager put the clothes in his arms on his shoulders and said seriously, "What are these words, those cattle are bought from far away, and every family lives on it, can you not worry." ”

"Hey?!, do you not believe me or what?"

The successive doubts turned the displeasure in Lao Zhang's heart into anger, only to see that his face was cold, two thick eyebrows and a pursed eyebrow, although he was old, he still had the domineering momentum of a strong man!

For a while, the villager was also a little panicked, and hurriedly said, "Don't be angry, don't be angry, don't go home, I've just done this, let's eat nearby." ”

Flicking his tattered sleeves, Lao Zhang put his lower lip into his mouth, blew on a few white beards on his chin, and then swaggered into the house......

"Squeak~"

Pushing open the door and looking at his mother who was cooking, Wang Shuang said softly, "Mother, Xue'er is asleep, I'll carry her to the bed first." ”

"Well, be gentle, don't wake her up. ”

Gently carried Ling Xue to the bed, and after covering the quilt, Wang Shuang closed the door and walked out.

"Mother, where did Dad go, why didn't you see him?"

Wang Shuang twisted his sore neck and said.

"I forgot, hurry up and go to the backyard, your father and your Uncle Ling are drinking there." ”

"Ah, Uncle Ling is not miserable, I'll take a look. ”

After three rounds of drinking, the two seemed to discuss the distant past......

"Lao Ling, Jian Ying didn't know about that. ”

Drinking the liquor in the bowl, Wang Qiang muttered.

"It's... I don't know, it's probably just the two of us who know the truth about this. ”

Hearing this, Wang Qiang grabbed a handful of peanuts, put them in his mouth and chewed them, and at the same time, he didn't forget to say, "Every time I see that child's eyes, I feel uncomfortable, I don't have any feelings, I don't care about the whole world, and I don't know if it's good or bad for him." ”

"Even if it's for the benefactor, hey, I have a hunch that the sword shadow is ......"

"Dad, Uncle Ling, what's wrong with Sword Shadow?"

may have been really drunk, but the two didn't notice that Wang Shuang had come to the backyard.

"Uh, it's nothing, when did you come back, Shuang'er. ”

Wang Qiang quickly opened the topic, seemingly reluctant to dwell on this issue.

Facing Wang Shuang, who looked confused, Ling Zhengyun said earnestly, "Child, knowing some things is not good for me at all, I know that Xue'er and you have a good relationship with Jian Ying, but he is too special...... Hey, listen to Uncle Ling, don't ask about this matter. ”

"Yes...... I see, I'm not going to ask again. ”

Looking at the seriousness and helplessness shown by the easy-going Ling Zhengyun at the moment, Wang Shuang buried this matter in his heart.

"Dad, don't irrigate Uncle Ling, you don't know Aunt Ling's temper, I'll go first. ”

After Wang Shuang left, Wang Qiang and Ling Zhengyun glanced at each other with a wry smile, and the most feared thing in their hearts still happened.

If Wang Shuang kept asking, he could just make up a lie to fool the past, but now......

The sigh lingered in the backyard for a long time, and the secret hidden in the depths of his heart made the two of them feel extremely heavy, and Wang Qiang, who had a wry smile on his face, couldn't help but think in his heart, "The day I first learned this secret, it seems that it was also the day I liked to drink..."

"Hmm......"

Ling Xue turned around and opened her eyes, her unkempt hair curled slightly, looking very cute.

"Xue'er, are you hungry, are you hungry? Aunt Wang will bring you something to eat. ”

I don't know when she entered the house, Wang Qian couldn't help but care when she saw Ling Xue wake up.

"No need Aunt Wang, Xue'er is not hungry... By the way, where did Brother Wang Shuang go?"

"What is so good about that kid, why are you worried about him, Aunt Wang will give you some water to wash your face. ”

"No, Brother Wang Shuang is very good, he loves Xue'er very much, every time Xue'er is tired, Brother Wang Shuang will carry Xue'er on his back, Brother Wang Shuang, uh......"

As if realizing something, Ling Xueqiao's face turned red, like a tomato that was about to drip water.

Wang Qian was also stunned, and while secretly sighing that her son was so capable, she didn't forget to pretend to be puzzled, "I didn't say anything about that kid, why are you so nervous about him, Xue'er?"

"Who said I was nervous about him, I, I just..."

"What's it, is this kid bullying you? Wait for him to come back, see how I clean him up, how can I bully girls!"

Facing the angry woman, Ling Xue didn't know that she had fallen into the trap carefully arranged by the latter, and she even opened her mouth to defend it.

"No, Aunt Wang, Brother Wang Shuang didn't bully me, but has always been very tolerant of me, but..."

"Could it be that ... Cher, are you going to like that stinky boy?"

"Uh, I..."

Ling Xue nodded lightly, but shook her head again, her eyes a little dim when she thought of what she had done before.

Feeling Ling Xue's strangeness, Wang Qian asked softly, "What's wrong, Xue'er?"

"Aunt Wang, woo woo..."

Facing Ling Xue, who suddenly fell into her arms and cried, Wang Qian could clearly feel the self-blame and sadness in the child's heart, gently caressing her long soft hair with her palm, and patiently listening to her tell her everything that had just happened......

"Boom la la ......"

The showers poured down, moistened the arid earth, gave the dealer fresh life, and also drenched the heart of a teenager.

The sword shadow looked at the sky, the tears on his face had long been washed away by the rain, and his lips trembling from the rain seemed to be still thinking about something...

After a long time, the rain gradually stopped, and the slight coolness brought by the wind on his body made the sword shadow shiver in the cold wind.

Facing the scar after the soil and blood were mixed and coagulated, he didn't care about breaking it off, staring at the blood that slipped down the palm lines, and the face that was blue from the cold, a faint smile appeared......

On-site ......

"Wang Shuang, what are you doing stupidly outside, come into the house, Aunt Ling has something to talk to you about. ”

"Uh, what the hell is going on, how do you feel mysterious..."

Looking at Ling Chu who closed the door, Wang Shuang muttered quietly.

"Aunt Ling asks you, do you like Xue'er?"

Maybe the question was too sudden, Wang Shuang was speechless for a while, and just looked at the woman in front of him with a dull expression.

Facing Wang Shuang, who had a calm face, Ling Chu's mood seemed very low, she sighed softly, and said, "Wang Shuang, I know that Xue'er is a child who is rude and willful, and even sometimes acts recklessly..."

"From childhood to adulthood, you and Uncle Ling have taken care of her like a treasure in the palm of your hand, and have never let her suffer a little, she has indeed been spoiled and spoiled, and has developed the temper of the eldest lady, but Xue'er is actually still very kind, she is still very well-behaved..."

Ling Chu was already choked up halfway through his words, and tears kept sliding down his cheeks.

Although Wang Shuang, who came back to his senses, was in a state of confusion, he still hurriedly explained, "No, Aunt Ling, I always knew that Xue'er was not bad-hearted. ”

"It's really good to say that she is rude and willful, but I think it's a sign of Cher's innocence. ”

"She's always naughty when she's happy, and when she's in a bad mood, she's constantly making noise. ”

"I don't know when she started, I would laugh when she laughed, I would laugh when she was unhappy, I would make her happy, and when she cried, I would also be sad, I think I really liked Cher, but ......"

As he spoke, Wang Shuang couldn't help laughing, but there were many sourness in this seemingly happy smile.

Hearing this, Ling Chu stopped his tears, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief after seeing the incomparably firm affection in the young man's eyes.

"I'm stupid, compared to Sword Shadow, I don't have the skills of him, I'm not as powerful as him, and even my appearance is not as good as him, maybe, Xue'er prefers Sword Shadow more..."

The self-deprecation at the corners of his mouth made the smile even more bitter.

Facing Wang Shuang, who was lost and depressed, Ling Chu responded nonchalantly, "Uh, so that's the case..."

"Then Aunt Ling will cook first, remember to eat a piece in the evening, as for the question in your heart, let's ask Xue'er well..."

"By the way, by the way, you and Xue'er are married. ”

After that, he hummed a little song and turned away, leaving Wang Shuang alone to sit there in a daze, his expression looked a little strange, bitter and joyful, and a little intriguing.

Meanwhile......

Looking at Ling Xue, who was still sobbing in her arms, Wang Qian gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said softly, "Silly child, why take this kind of thing to heart, at dinner, just ask him? Don't cry, if you cry again, it won't be beautiful." ”

"Aunt Wang, how should Xue'er talk to Brother Wang Shuang, after all, Brother Wang Shuang's brother was injured today because of Xue'er's unreasonable trouble, it's all Xue'er's fault, Xue'er is really useless..."

Seeing Ling Xue who was about to cry again, Wang Qian took her delicate and boneless little hand, and her tone was even more gentle.

"Xue'er, you have to remember one sentence, what hurts more than indifference is estrangement, if there is any question, you must ask boldly, continuous procrastination and conjecture are fruitless, maybe inadvertently, you may lose the person who occupies your heart. ”

"What if that happens?"

Hearing this, Ling Xue lowered her head and pondered for a while, then exclaimed, "That will definitely be sad, and I will regret it for life!"

After receiving Ling Xue's answer, Wang Qian nodded with a chuckle, and then walked out of the house.

Looking at Wang Qian who walked out of the door, Ling Xue's face became even more ruddy, and suddenly, as if she had thought of something interesting, an innocent smile appeared on her face, which looked very warm and sweet...
