Lift up the Great Elder, who was trembling all over his body and couldn't contain the pain. The second elder barely kept his composure, looked at Ruoxin, and said in a reassuring tone: "Priest Mo Qi, the great elder is also thinking about Baijia Village, and he is worried about the future of Baijia Village, so he will act so fiercely and annoy the priest. ”

Ruoxin's expression remained unchanged, and her dark eyes looked straight at the second elder, "Is it because I'm worried, or is it because I've been secretly annoyed that I haven't been able to give birth to an heir as you wish?" Because of my 'incompetence', you will turn your anger on Bai Rong? How innocent Bai Rong is. It is because I did not arrange for him to do the work of his bed, and it is because of me, will you punish me according to the rules of the clan? ”

The words were flat, but there was an awe-inspiring pressure that made the second elder bow his head. After swallowing a mouthful of saliva, he continued: "The priest is serious, and we dare not interfere with the priest's actions. The Great Elder Fang Cai wanted to scold Bai Rong with a rod, but he was too impulsive. Bai Rong devoted himself to protecting the priest and doing his best for the priest, even if he did not fulfill his duty to serve the priest, he had already made the contribution. The Great Elder was indeed worried about whether the priest would be able to give birth to an heir, but he did not dare to show the slightest anger. ”

After speaking, he secretly raised his eyes to look at Ruoxin, and saw that although she did not respond, at least she no longer exuded the power of frightening people like Fang Cai.

The atmosphere eased a lot under the gentle mediation of the second elder, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Since Ruoxin returned to the village at the age of seventeen and took over the priesthood at the age of eighteen, she has always been gentle in her affairs, and she has never treated the villagers as priests. Except for the time of the sacrifice, the rest of the days, she lived a life like an ordinary villager, as a gentleman who taught the children in the village in the school, looking at her amiable to the children, smiling appearance, I always thought that she was a woman with a gentle temperament, but today is the first time to see her burst out so angry.

Is it just for a dead man with an ordinary identity?

The second elder wiped his sweat, and then secretly glanced at Bai Rong, who was still being pulled by Ruoxin. The body is tough enough, the appearance is handsome enough, but the temperament is too dull and wooden, and it really seems that it is not as pleasing to women as a few men they have re-found for the priest in private.

He really couldn't think of any place where Bai Rong was so attracted to the priest that would make her make an exception.

Seeing the second elder secretly looking at Bai Rong with the same eyes as if he were inspecting a commodity, Ruoxin frowned, "If you have anything to say, why don't you make it clear today." lest he be 'worried' again in the future, and he will use the people around me to 'relieve' the anxiety of his heart. ”

Listening to Ruoxin's sarcastic words, the second elder's face trembled, and he raised his sleeve and wiped the sweat on his forehead. Looking back at the Great Elder who was now a little unconscious in pain, and then at the other village chiefs and elders who bowed their heads and were silent, the thought turned in his mind several times, he really didn't want to annoy the priest and make a big elder-like end, and thought that it was not good to miss this opportunity. After thinking about it for a while, the second elder finally spoke, "Priest, after a few of us discussed and discussed a few days ago, we selected some men for you to sleep, all of them are clean children. Some of them are young people from the village, and there are also a few children that we specially bought from other counties, just waiting for you to choose from the priest to see if there is any ...... that catches your eye."

Before the second elder finished speaking, Ruoxin raised her hand to interrupt his words, closed her eyes and stood quietly for a long time before slowly lifting her lips, "Send them all back." I will give birth to an heir in a year's time. ”

For a while, the expressions of the people in the hall were different, whether they were happy, shocked, self-blaming, or angry.

It's just that she didn't care. At the door, Huang Fuxian's figure was no longer there, Ruoxin didn't think much about it, slowly walked to the window, stood with his hands behind his back, and looked at the distant sky from the open window lattice. The long hair fluttered in the wind, and the bright red skirt on the body was also slightly bulging, like a flowing flame, about to burn away the invisible bondage, the kind of responsibility and bondage that can never be shaken off unless death.

......

Returning home from the ancestral hall, Bai Ruxue woke up at noon that day. Ruoxin didn't really use much strength for Ru Xue's torture staff, she just wanted to give her a warning, letting her know that she was no longer a child, and she should take responsibility independently, instead of hiding under her own protection forever and doing whatever she wanted.

When she just woke up, Bai Ruxue was very sad about Ruoxin's practice of scolding her in front of everyone regardless of her sisters' affection. Ruoxin came to see her, so she covered herself in a quilt and ignored Ruoxin. But after thinking about it, she also knew that her reckless approach would bring unpredictable danger to Baijia Village, and self-blame and guilt still swelled in her heart, and after thinking things through, she ran to Ruoxin again, holding Ruoxin's hand, and the elder sister called shortly.

At the same time, she was surprised to find that Huangfu Xian, who had left in the ancestral hall, actually appeared in their home.

It's just that she has just received Ruoxin's lesson, although she is happy in her heart, she doesn't dare to show it too much, but after saying hello to Huang Fuxian, she is a little reluctant to leave temporarily.

Pouring tea into the white porcelain bowl in front of Huang Fuxian, Ruoxin said with a polite smile: "The cold house is ugly, please forgive me for the inconsiderate hospitality." ”

Looking at the tea with a few drops of tea residue floating in the bowl, Huang Fuxian smiled faintly, "No, although this room doesn't look luxuriously decorated, it is also very elegant." ”

From the moment he walked into the courtyard, there was a kind of comfort and ease that he had not felt for a long time, different from the luxury and extravagance of the place where he used to live, Ruoxin's residence was simple but elegant. The yard is simple and spacious, cleaned very clean, and an ancient tree with thick branches is planted in the corner, which makes the yard more quiet.

When I entered the house, although the furnishings in the house were simple and simple, the coffee table was still clean.

A space that can be lit up with an oil lamp has an indescribable sense of warmth.

Huang Fuxian picked up the tea bowl, blew it gently, and took a sip, it was just ordinary tea, but it was still elegant.

Ruoxin looked at him with complicated thoughts, and she didn't know why he reappeared here. In the morning, the temple went and returned, and disappeared again, thinking that it would be the last time they would meet, but he did not expect to appear outside the gate again in the evening when the sky suddenly changed and rained. Compared with the stunned on Ruoxin's face, Huang Fuxian had an elegant and leisurely smile on his lips, as if it was normal for him to appear.

He always showed up without warning, just like the first time he appeared in Baijia Village. However, this may also be his last.

There will be no next time.

Ruoxin glanced at him and asked, "Have you dealt with the affairs of the Imperial Prince?" ”

Looking at the gloomy sky outside the door, the heavy rain that did not stop, Huangfu Xian changed his sitting posture very casually, and then the dark phoenix eyes stared at Ruoxin, and said with a slight smile: "Not yet, but now the heavy rain is majestic, the mountain road is difficult, and the carriage has broken down again, I'm afraid Huangfu will bother the white girl all night today." ”

His words were polite, but there was an air in his words that was impossible to refuse.

Ruoxin's heart felt slightly weird, but her face did not show anything, still with a smile. As long as she doesn't touch her bottom limit, she outside the sacrificial time, just like the cotton that Bai Ruxue said, gentle and gentle, no matter how sharp things pierce into that mass of cotton, it is still in that form.

Smiling politely, Ruoxin said, "What bother." There are unforeseen circumstances, and it is helpless, and it is nothing to stay for one night. ”

"Then the emperor has thanked the white girl." Still in a low and slightly lazy tone, Huang Fuxian lowered his eyes and thanked him with a slight smile on the corner of his lips.

......

In the kitchen, Bai Ruxue pushed Rouge out and volunteered to prepare dinner for everyone, saying that she wanted to make amends for Ruoxin.

Ruoxin glanced up at her and said slowly: "Just make amends, as long as you can remember this lesson, it is enough to think more about the consequences in the future." ”

Ru Xue lowered her head and said with shame on her face: "I'm sorry sister, I'll pay attention next time." But today destroyed her sister's sacrifice, Ru Xue was really sad in her heart, she didn't know how to make up for it, thinking that her sister was always very happy to eat Ru Xue's dishes on weekdays, so she wanted to ......"

"I can't help it if it happens, I just hope you really don't let your sister worry about you in the future." Ruoxin looked at Ru Xue's depressed appearance, and her tone softened, "Didn't you say that you want to cook for your sister?" Why don't you go soon? ”

"Hey." Ru Xue raised her head, regained her vitality, her eyes were shining, she smiled sweetly at Ruoxin, and ran back to the kitchen with a spatula.

Ruoxin didn't stop her, but she still asked Bai Rong to go to the village chief's house to let Yongshan's daughter-in-law fry a few dishes and come back.

Soon after, when Ru Xue brought a few plates of steaming dishes to the table, Bai Rong also walked into the house with a bamboo basket. Ruoxin took it and took out the dishes in the basket one by one and put them on the table.

Bai Rong took a few nests from the coarse porcelain bowl on the table and said to her, "Girl, I'll go in first." ”

At the same table was Huangfu Xian, Ruoxin knew that Bai Rong didn't like to associate with outsiders, so she nodded to him, and at the same time took a bowl and sandwiched some of his favorite dishes in it for him to serve in.

Huang Fuxian didn't speak from beginning to end, just looked at her quietly, and the light in his phoenix eyes flickered.

Sandwiched a piece of crispy spicy chicken into Ruoxin's bowl, Ru Xue looked at her expectantly, and urged her: "Sister, you taste it, how does it taste?" ”

Ruoxin frowned slightly, and returned to normal. The spicy chicken was fragrant, except for the garlic flavor that she didn't like the most in the past. When she returned to Baijia Village, she realized that the taste of the people in Baijia Village was light and almost did not use garlic and pepper, so it was not until Ru Xue started cooking a year ago that she ate garlic again.

She used to vomit as soon as she ate garlic, but that's just in the past......

A year ago, when she rescued Ru Xue from the capital, she exchanged her sense of taste for the price of a person's life.

Since then, she has lost her sense of taste and can no longer taste anything.

Ruoxin smiled, picked up the bamboo chopsticks, took a chopstick, put them in her mouth, chewed carefully, and the expression on her face did not change. “

I don't know what Huang Fuxian thought, staring at the dish thoughtfully, and faintly frowning a pair of handsome eyebrows.

It wasn't until Ruoxin saw that he hadn't moved his chopsticks for a long time and asked that he looked straight into Ruoxin's eyes and asked slowly, "White girl, have you lost your sense of taste?" ”

Ruoxin's heart skipped a beat and she looked at him in a daze.

......

In the middle of the night, Ruoxin tossed and turned, unable to sleep no matter what.

In the evening, Ruoxin casually made up a lie to hide everyone, and Ru Xue simply believed it, and the emperor's eyes always had a deep sense of inquiry.

Why did Huang Fuxian know?

Who the hell is he?

There was a lot of confusion in her mind, Ruoxin exhaled deeply, turned over again, and suddenly saw a vague reflection outside the door.

With an alarm in her heart, Ruoxin quietly got up and walked to the door, suddenly opened the door, and struck the person with a thunderous force.

The man dodged with great dexterity and reached out and dragged her into his arms.

Ruoxin was about to fight back again, but found that the person who came was actually Huangfuxian,

He was well-dressed and sober, and obviously had not slept, so why was he standing outside her door?

"You ......"

Ruoxin just said a word, but he squinted, stared at her deeply, and asked directly, "Why do you have no sense of taste?" ”

At the same time, his hand holding her body tightened, and the two bodies were close to each other, and Ruoxin could almost detect his body temperature and the pulse in his heart.

I forgot to react for a while, but I heard Ru Xue's voice in disbelief not far away, "Sister, what are you doing?" ”
