Chapter 181: Heavy Rain
Lin Kite closed the door and bolted.
"The girl's clothes are all wet, and it's easy to catch a cold when she wears them all the time."
Lin Yuan walked to the bed, saw Miss Qiu looking at her vigilantly, and continued to reassure: "This dress is mine, I don't know if the girl is wearing it or not, but it is better than wearing wet clothes, if the girl is sick because of a cold, the family will definitely be worried." ”
The girl was still a little scared, and she didn't know if she was afraid of people, or if she hadn't recovered from the disaster just now.
Lin Yuan didn't force her, only gently put the clothes she brought on the bed, and then admonished: "If the girl has any needs, you can come out and call us at any time, and I will let your maid come in and wait for you in a while." ”
Miss Qiu finally nodded, and Lin Yuan turned around and left with satisfaction, and walked around to the other side of the hall, wanting to find Miss Qiu's maids.
I happened to hear a few people coming over from the Qiu Mansion boat talking about the leakage of the Qiu Mansion boat.
It turned out that their boat hit a stone in the river in the wind and rain, and the bottom of the boat was broken.
Lin Yuan secretly complained: This Qiu family's house boat is too rubbish, right? Is the quality so poor?
I didn't have the heart to continue listening, but I happened to meet a few maids who had changed into dry clothes, and after Lin Kite told them Miss Qiu's location, she stopped taking care of things and returned to her room.
Zhao Yun was reading a book in the house, and Lin Yuan walked over: "It's so lively outside, are you reading in the house?" Isn't it boring? ”
"There's no you out there." Zhao Yun replied very realistically.
Lin Yuan thought that there was indeed no self outside just now, because he had already gone to find Miss Qiu with dry clothes, and Zhao Yun, who was abandoned by himself, could only stay in the room and read by himself, let him go and join in the excitement outside, then he, the emperor, should be a bit of a market!
"Now that I'm in the house, do you still read?"
Zhao Yun put down the book: "Look." ”
"Why? You just said that there is no me outside, so you can only read in the house, so now that there is me in the house, why do you still read? Lin Kite didn't understand and didn't accept it.
Zhao Yun put down the book and hugged Lin Yuan over: "Because you can see it, you can't eat it." ”
Lin Yuan's face suddenly burned in a panic, she blushed and pushed Zhao Yun weakly: "What nonsense are you talking about again?" ”
"I've heard it's special to do that kind of thing on a ship." Zhao Yun's eyes were full of desire, and his voice was hoarse, as if he was suppressing something.
"If you talk nonsense again, I'll ignore you." Lin Yuan pushed Zhao Yun again, but unfortunately her strength to refuse and welcome was not pushed at all.
Although Zhao Yun was a hooligan, he didn't really do anything to Lin Yuan in the end, he just hugged someone and kissed him for a while, and then he hugged someone to read a book, and Lin Yuan also accompanied him to read it.
The discussion about the shipwreck outside gradually dissipated, and it was replaced by a topic related to hot pot, I don't know who started it, and those people from Qiu Mansion began to play hot pot in the hall, and bursts of fragrance came.
Lin Kite smelled the fragrance and panicked with hunger: "I'm so hungry, I want to eat." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.
"Miss, the young master called you and Zhao Gongzi to go to the side hall for dinner." It was the voice of the maid Cuizhu brought by Shen Fu.
Lin Yuan came out of Zhao Yun's arms, straightened his somewhat messy clothes, and stretched out his hand to Zhao Yun: "Let's go." ”
The two held hands and came to the side hall together, the side hall was very small, only there was a large table in the middle, nothing else, the large window on the right side was open, and the river outside the boat could be seen at night.
As you can see, the rain is much smaller than just now, and it is estimated that it will not be long before it stops.
Lin Yuan couldn't help but joke with Shen Fu: "Brother, look, the rain is about to stop, how do I feel that God deliberately made this heavy rain just to let my brother meet Miss Qiu?" ”
Shen Fuhu's face flushed, and he blamed Lin Yuan angrily: "Little girl, what nonsense? ”
Like the other side of the hall, there was a hot pot on the table, and there were a lot of cleaned dishes next to the table, and the amount of dishes was obviously not the weight of four people.
"How do you have a lot of dishes? The four of us can't finish it, can we? Lin Yuan changed direction and continued to joke, "Is my brother planning to ask Miss Qiu to come to dinner together?" ”
Shen Fu didn't say yes or no, but Lin Yuan saw that his brother was shy, and he couldn't bear to continue to trouble him.
"Cuizhu, you go and invite Miss Qiu to come over and have dinner together."
Cuizhu left in a hurry, and after a long time, Lin Yuan thought that Miss Qiu was still shrinking in the house and didn't want to come out, but she saw Cuizhu leading Miss Qiu and her entourage in.
Lin Kite's figure is plump and tall than Miss Qiu's, so her clothes look a little big on the thin Miss Qiu, but it makes people have all kinds of fantasies about this body wrapped in clothes, the more you can't see it clearly, the more it makes people think about it.
Lin Yuan exclaimed: "This dress looks really good on you." ”
"Shu Min thanked you for saving your life." Qiu Shumin suddenly saluted everyone, his cheeks were slightly red, and he was a little shy.
"Is it called Shu Min? The name is also good, brother, what do you say? Lin Yuan looked very attentive, took the initiative to take Qiu Shumin's hand, and pulled the person to the table and sat down.
Shen Fu, who was unsuspected, responded in a panic: "Yes, it's very good." ”
As a result, Qiu Shumin's cheeks became even more pink.
Lin Yuan looked at his brother and then at Qiu Shumin, and only shouted in his heart: There is a play!
"Let's eat hot pot today, has Sister Qiu Min eaten it before?" Lin Yuan was a little worried, this Qiu Shumin is everyone's best girl, and I don't know if I can accept eating the same pot of food with unfamiliar men and women.
"I've heard of it, I heard that it is very famous in the capital, but unfortunately Huaiyin City does not."
Lin Yuan had a flash of inspiration, Huaiyin City is a water city, it must be very humid all year round, this kind of hot pot eating that makes people boil and hot will definitely be very popular in Huaiyin City.
But this matter is not in a hurry, wait until Huaiyin City to make plans, the most important thing at the moment is the matter of her brother and Miss Qiu.
Seeing her brother's eyes flickering, he peeked at Qiu Shumin from time to time, and he looked so flustered when he picked up a dish, he must have been tempted.
And Miss Qiu ...... I guess it's about the same, look at this little blushing.
"Can Sister Shu Min eat fish? These fish were just caught by sailors today, and the fish fillets will be particularly fresh after being blanched, alas, by the way, can Sister Shu Min eat spicy? ”
Lin Yuan is like a little gossip, asking Qiu Shumin what he likes to eat and what he doesn't like to eat, and then asking Qiu Shumin what he usually does at home, in short, he is familiar with it as if the two have known each other for many years.
It was her enthusiasm that helped her brother Shen Fu to have a certain degree of understanding of Qiu Shumin.
However, after the whole dinner, Zhao Yun, who was directly ignored and ignored, was not very good, and his face was cold throughout the whole process, and General Guo, who was sitting next to him, was so scared that he didn't dare to swallow when he ate, and chewed slowly like a little daughter-in-law, which was simply torture for a general who was fighting on the battlefield and was used to eating meat and drinking with the soldiers!
After dinner, it began to rain heavily, Qiu Shumin seemed to have a psychological shadow because of the shipwreck, as soon as he saw the rain, his little face turned pale, and the fear in his eyes was very obvious.
The experienced helmsman on the ship said that the heavy rain was expected to be a long time ahead, and in order to avoid flooding, it was better for their boat to find a nearby place to dock and wait until dawn to see the situation before setting off.
For the sake of safety, everyone had no opinion, so the helmsman instructed the people to find a place with many reeds nearby and docked.
At first, Qiu Shumin was really scared, she had already landed in time, but she still couldn't help her fingers tremble, Lin Yuan felt distressed when she looked at it, after all, Qiu Shumin was still a little girl, and it is estimated that she was raised in the boudoir since she was a child, and she had never met a bad person, let alone encountered this kind of disaster, so she was so afraid.
"Brother, is this wilderness safe?" Lin Yuan actually didn't care if An was not safe, anyway, she had Zhao Yun and General Guo here, and even a secret guard, the reason why she asked this was to let Shen Fu say some comforting words to Qiu Shumin.
Sure enough, as soon as she asked this question, Qiu Shumin next to her pricked up her ears and looked very nervous.
Shen Fu also noticed it, and hurriedly comforted: "Miss Qiu, please rest assured, the sailors on this ship will have some martial arts, and I will protect you." ”
Lin Yuan saw that Shen Fu had directly ignored herself, so she pretended to eat: "Brother, why did you only tell Sister Qiu Min?" Won't you protect me? ”
"I ......" Shen Fu's face turned red and he was about to change his words.
Zhao Yun next to him put his arm around Lin Kite's waist and said domineeringly: "You just need to protect Miss Qiu, I will protect the kite." ”
After that, he hugged Lin Kite and left, he couldn't continue to be ignored by Lin Kite as forbearance.
It just so happened that the others had already set up simple sheds nearby, and the sailors who had disembarked from the ship were very skilled in everything, and it seemed that many of them had been forced to find a temporary place to rest because of the storm.
Because of a night's sleep, it was difficult for Lin Kite to fall asleep at night, not only Lin Kite couldn't sleep, but Qiu Shumin couldn't sleep either, because Shen Fu actually kept outside Qiu Shumin's tent in order to make Qiu Shumin feel at ease, Qiu Shumin looked at the figure reflected on the tent for a night.
On the second day, the heavy rain had stopped for a long time, and although there was no flooding, the water level still rose a lot.
Everyone packed up their things and returned to the ship.
Lin Yuan looked at his brother's dark circles and teased, "Brother, what did you do last night?" Why do you get dark circles like this? Don't bully Shu Min's sister, right? ”
Her eyes examined back and forth between Shen Fu and Qiu Shumin: "Sister Shumin's complexion is not good, didn't she sleep well last night?" ”
Qiu Shumin blushed suddenly, and didn't dare to admit that she peeked at Shen Fu's figure last night.
Shen Fu hesitated and said, "I kept vigil last night, so naturally...... Naturally have dark circles under the eyes. ”
When a sailor passing by heard this, he wondered, "Huh? Little owner, wasn't Lao Zhang the vigil last night? ”
With so many people in the city, where is the need for Shen Fu's vigil?
