111 Night Talk
Ye Xinyi had also gone up the mountain with Ye Shi'an to collect medicine a few times earlier, mostly staying in the mountains for one night or two nights, and the old place where Ye Xinyi said about spending the night was a house where hunters in the mountains rested.
The hunter had seen a doctor in her family's pharmacy earlier, and knew that they would occasionally go up the mountain to collect medicine, so he gave them a key to rest there if they were not in time to descend the mountain.
Although it is simple, it can at least shelter from the wind and rain.
When the snow fell, they finally reached the hut.
A simple wooden hut that barely keeps the wind and snow out.
Ye Xinyi had been here, and with his memory and excellent eyesight, he found a tung oil lamp from the cabinet. Fortunately, there is also tung oil, and the lamp is lit with a fire fold, and everything in the small wooden house is clear at a glance.
In one corner of the room, there was only a narrow cot, a table with a missing leg and a corner of stones, a brazier, and a tattered pot.
Ye Xinyi took out the not very thick futon from the cabinet and spread it on the bed.
When he turned around, he saw that Shen Yue had already lit a fire, and he went outside to pick up the snow, put it in the pot, and hung it on the fire and burned it.
"Come over and bake it for a while." Shen Yue beckoned the girl to the brazier.
Ye Xinyi is not hypocritical, the left and right are already like this, it is better to be generous, so he walked to the brazier in silence.
Shen Yue brought a fairly flat stone for her to sit on, and he sat opposite her across the fire. The water was boiling, and Shen Yue used a notched bowl to hold some and served it to Ye Xinyi.
Ye Xinyi thanked him, held the bowl, and took small sips, but he felt that his whole body was gradually warming.
The wind and snow were howling outside the thin wooden door, but inside the wooden house, only the crackling sound of sparks bursting from the fire could be heard, and the two of them breathed and smelled each other.
Such a night, such a place, is a lonely man and a widow in the same room.
Ye Xinyi felt that he didn't say anything, it seemed to be very weird.
Presumably, Shen Yue also had the same idea, that is, he cleared his throat, and was a little speechless, "I heard Doctor Ye call you Huanhuan'er...... Is it your milk name? ”
Ye Xinyi's slender white hand was baked on the fire, and it was reflected red by the firelight, but he shook his head gently, "I don't know, my father called me like this, and I should do it." You didn't ask my dad? Doesn't he tell you everything? ”
Even told him about the asthma she had since she was a child. However, the asthma has never had another attack, and she has been practicing, so it must be fine, but her father still keeps it in mind from time to time, so he is too careful.
Shen Yue pursed the corners of his mouth and was silent for a moment, "I just want to know more about you." However, I didn't deliberately ask Dr. Ye. ”
He knows that a woman's reputation is important, and before he decides on a name, he will pay attention to proportion.
Even tonight's thing is a matter of urgency.
If it weren't for the heavy wind and snow, even if others didn't know, he would have planned to avoid her tonight and guard her outside the house.
Ye Xinyi still understood the meaning of his words, and what happened to her was told by her father.
But her father is not a man who has no plans.
She couldn't help but feel a little bored in her heart, "Why does my father like you so much?" "Her father told him all these things about his daughter, what else can he do for it? What's more, the things her father did couldn't be more obvious.
"What do you say?" Shen Yue curled the corners of his lips and asked with a smile.
Ye Xinyi was silent, she may not have known earlier, or she may have known, but she just refused to admit it.
But after this day, some things have become clearer.
This man, not to mention anything else, has endured hardships, even in troubled times, he has the capital to make a living, and he is very good at taking care of people.
Presumably, this is also the benefit of being older.
Ye Xinyi's heart was confused for a while, but his face was cold, "Lord Shen, if you have some words, I'd better explain them to you earlier!" Thanks to your wrong love, it's just that between you and me, I'm afraid it's impossible, Lord Shen is a high-ranking official, and the future is immeasurable, so you don't have to spend your mind on me. I don't know how many women in this world are better than me, with Lord Shen's conditions, I can't find what kind of girl I can't find, and I will definitely be able to marry a good wife as I wish. ”
While speaking, Ye Xinyi had already put aside the empty bowl in his hand and slowly stood up.
"After a day's walk, I'm really tired, so I'll rest first." That's all said and done, it's a little embarrassing to sit in peace like this anymore, Ye Xinyi owes and walks to the side of the small bed, lifts the quilt, and gets in.
He tightened the futon and wrapped himself in a cocoon.
All the while, she didn't look at the reaction of the man at the fire to her words.
Shen Yue had been sitting by the fire, stunned as he looked at the jumping flames. After a long while, he said in a hoarse voice, "Why?" ”
What else could it be for? Naturally, because you represent the past, I don't want to have any more involvement in the past.
Ye Xinyi turned his back to him, lay on the bed, opened his eyes, and looked at the shadow that was reflected on the wooden wall.
"Because I'm old?" The man behind him was tangled, and his tone was a little erratic.
"Because of my identity as a brocade guard?"
"Or is it because you have someone in your heart?"
"Who is it? Is that your childhood sweetheart? ”
Childhood? Is it Liang Shen?
Ye Xinyi was a little puzzled, how could this be said to Liang Shen?
One after another, but the girl did not respond.
She didn't even move, as if she was asleep, but Shen Yue knew that she didn't.
She just didn't want to answer him.
Behind him, there was a gradual silence.
The sound of the wind and snow raging outside the house became more and more obvious.
A moment later, the thin wooden door was suddenly opened, and the north wind swept into the house with goose-feather snowflakes, but it was quickly shut out, and the man had already strode into the snow.
Ye Xinyi couldn't lie down anymore, and sat up from the bed suddenly.
Outside the door, with the sound of wind and snow, Shen Yue's indistinct voice came.
"You sleep in peace, I'll stay outside first."
"With such a big snowstorm, does Lord Shen want to freeze himself to death? I'm not as virtuous as you think I am, and if you seek death yourself, I won't have the slightest conscience upset. Ye Xinyi snorted.
There was silence outside the house, and then Shen Yue's voice sounded again, "I just want to be quiet, I won't stay too long, you can rest in peace first, and I'll come in in a while." ”
Love can't enter, he is happy to freeze to death.
Ye Xinyi lay back on the bed, pulled the futon, and covered his head.
There was a musty smell on the futon, and she couldn't stand it, so she pulled it down again, with two points of ruthlessness to vent her anger.
Outside the door, Shen Yue's voice was faint, with a wry smile, "Miss Ye can be in the same room with me with peace of mind, at least, you can still believe me, right?" ”
Believe him? Maybe there is a little bit, at least I believe that he will not be so despicable and shameless, taking advantage of others. However, she believed in herself more than he did.
