Chapter Twenty-Seven: A Lonely Man and a Widow
The girl's hand had already stretched out, Xiao Chuhan froze in confusion, looked up and saw that her face was full of seriousness without any evil thoughts, and she couldn't help laughing at herself in her heart. He forgot that this girl was different from ordinary people, and she was just a patient who needed to be healed in her eyes.
"I'm tired." Xiao Chuhan, who had figured it out, lowered his hand to protect the collar, Ren Yunyao helped him untie his jacket, and then ripped off the belt of his middle coat, and his jade-white chest was suddenly exposed to the warm yellow candlelight.
Wow, this man's skin is so good! The whole chest is delicate and smooth as snow, as if it will be stained with cream all over the hands with a light stroke. Don't look at his appearance, soft and greasy, but his figure is not bad at all, although he is not full of explosive tension like a big bull, he is also swollen and full.
Yun Yao quietly sucked the saliva that accidentally flowed out, helped him take off half of his sleeve, and carefully covered his chest with a padded jacket.
"Wait a minute, soon." Yun Yao put on gloves, disinfected the tweezers and scissors, and wiped the skin around the wound. "It doesn't hurt, don't be afraid." Habitually comforting, Yun Yao cut the sutures and pulled out the threads with tweezers.
A slight pain came, and Xiao Chuhan looked down at the busy girl in front of him.
She leaned in front of her arm, her eyes fixed on the wound, one hand pressing on the skin around the wound, and the other hand nimbly pulled out the black suture and placed it on a piece of gauze. There is no ambiguity in her eyes, no seduction, some are just serious and rigorous.
Xiao Chuhan breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed his tense muscles. He watched with interest as Yun Yao finished cleaning the stitches of his wound, and then covered it with another piece of gauze and pasted it.
"Okay, don't get wet for the next two days, and you can uncover the gauze in two days." Thinking about this person's snow-white and delicate skin, Yun Yao said regretfully, "If you have scar removal ointment, apply some, the scar will not look good." β
"Thank you, girl, for the reminder." Xiao Chuhan got dressed slowly, and Yun Yao hurriedly took off her gloves and went up to help, "Don't move, just removed the stitches." β
The slender fingers brushed over the chest, bringing a soft and warm touch, as if with the power to comfort the soul, making Xiao Chuhan's lonely heart as comfortable as soaking in a hot spring. The hand only stopped for a moment before he buckled the jacket and put it back, and Xiao Chuhan was stunned for a moment.
"Is it still cold? Do you want to put on a cape? Yun Yao asked with concern.
"It's not cold." Being cared for by her like this, Xiao Chuhan suddenly felt warm in his heart, "Thank you for your hard work." β
"It's okay, it's okay, it's supposed to be." Yun Yao put away the kang table and handed over the paper bag, "Are you hungry?" This is something I made for you, try it. β
Made for me? Xiao Chuhan took the paper bag, and suddenly a strange fresh fragrance came to his nose, and it turned out to be a few pieces of dried fish. He took out a slice and tasted it curiously, and suddenly couldn't stop.
It's delicious, charred and crispy, and even the fish bones are crispy. On such a night, sitting on the warm kang, eating a bite of fragrant dried fish, and looking at the girl in the candlelight, Xiao Chuhan felt the simple happiness that he had never experienced in his life for more than 20 years.
"It's delicious." One slice was quickly eaten, and he unceremoniously picked up another slice.
Seeing that he was eating sweetly, Yun Yao also smiled happily. He's satisfied, and it's time to get down to business.
"Come, this is the compost accumulation cheats I prepared for you, you can take it and see it, if there is anything you don't understand, I'll tell you about it." Yun Yao checked the information for two days and said unashamedly.
"Okay." Xiao Chuhan took the thin piece of white paper, glanced at it by the candlelight, and was a little stunned, "What kind of text is this?" Why don't I know each other? β
There were some strange words written on the paper with thin strokes, most of them were simple, either missing arms or legs, and he could only understand a small half of them if he was half-guessing and half-ignorant.
"Huh? You don't understand? Yun Yao was embarrassed now. She forgot that she used traditional Chinese characters, which she could barely recognize, but she couldn't write, "I don't know how to write, and some of the characters are made up blindly." β
"What then? Why don't I read it to you, can you remember it? β
"It's probably not enough to read something so important." Xiao Chuhan hesitated for a moment and asked, "Does the girl have a pen and paper?" I'll copy it. β
Pen and paper? I don't seem to have seen it at the village chief's house, so it seems that I can only go back to the rental house to get it. Yun Yao stood up and said, "You wait, I'll look for it." β
Yun Yao opened the door and slipped into the yard, thought about it and ran to the kitchen again, and then flashed back to the rental house. There are a few sheets of white paper, and the pen is only a water pen. She took the pen and paper and returned to the east wing, and saw Xiao Chuhan holding her piece of paper in one hand and reading it hard, and subconsciously stuffing dried fish into her mouth with the other.
"That's all there is to it, and you're going to use it." Spread the paper in front of him, handed the pen again, Yun Yao took the cheats and read it.
"1. Material selection ...... for composting"
"Hey, that's not how this one is used." Seeing Xiao Chuhan pinching the pen in the posture of holding the brush, the posture was awkward and laborious, Yun Yao had no choice but to move to his side, "I'll teach you." β
Placing the pen diagonally in his hand, Yun Yao took his right hand from behind him, and took him to write a few strokes like a primary school student to write, and when he saw that he learned quickly, he happily sat back opposite him.
"Let's start now."
When the girl's body leaned over, Xiao Chuhan stiffened slightly, and when she finished teaching a few words and sat back, he felt a loss again. Her body is very soft, with a faint body fragrance, which is very refreshing and pleasant. The hand was soft, and when it held his hand, it carried an intoxicating warmth, which made him have an instant attachment.
The girl had already begun to read, and her deliberately lowered voice seemed gentle and mysterious in the dark night, Xiao Chuhan collected his mind and hurriedly recorded it sentence by sentence.
The pen is smooth and easy to write, Xiao Chuhan soon mastered the method of moving the pen, and an article of more than 2,000 words was copied in only two quarters of an hour, and he wrote two sheets of paper in small letters. He put away the paper and tried to dry the ink, but found that the words had long since dried.
"What kind of pen is this? It's amazing. Curious, he held up the pen to the candle flame to take a closer look.
"If you like it, I'll give it to you." Yun Yao said generously.
"Thank you girl for the treasure, there is also something for you below." Xiao Chuhan carefully put away the pen and paper, and took out a thick piece of kraft paper from his arms, "You see if you need it." β
What's good? Yun Yao took the brown paper and looked at it, and immediately clapped her hands happily and laughed: "Haha, your lord, you are so amazing, how do you know that I need such a thing!" β
That piece of paper turned out to be a household registration document, the name was Zhao Yun'er, the gender was female, the age was 20, the name of the person from Lishu Village, Nantang County, and it was also covered with several bright red seals, which looked like a genuine product.
Xiao Chuhan smiled and said nothing, and he was very relieved to see that she was really happy. She is really not Li Daniu's fiancΓ©e, but because she has no household registration, she uses this to deal with the investigation of the witch vault.
Xiao Chuhan put the last piece of dried fish into her mouth and chewed it carefully, refusing to admit that she was unhappy when the farmer called her daughter-in-law that day. He just saw that this girl was interesting, and he couldn't bear to see her embarrassed by the Temple of the God King. A small household registration document is not an easy task for him, the lord of Xiliang.
"Well, I still have a question, is my house far from here? My family, they're not going to come here, are they? Yun Yao hesitated for a moment, thinking that the two of them had secrets in each other's hands, so they simply asked directly.
"Nantang County is hundreds of miles south of here, your family, they all starved to death in the famine, and you fled alone." Xiao Chuhan couldn't help but smile and explained.
"Oh, that's good, then I'll be relieved." Yun Yao patted her chest and raised her head to meet Xiao Chuhan's smiling eyes.
"Hehe, I mean, I'm so sad......" Yun Yao embarrassed and forcibly changed the subject, "My lord, do you know King Xiliang?" β
"Oh? Why did you ask about him? Xiao Chuhan originally looked at Yun Yao's embarrassment and was secretly amused, but when he saw that she suddenly became serious, he couldn't help but put away his smile, and was a little curious in his heart. What did she suddenly bring up about herself? Did you recognize me?
"I'm just asking, if you can talk to him, teach him how to compost. I think he is a very capable person, and he really loves the people, and if he can get your piece of paper, he will definitely use it to help more people. β
"How do you know who he is? Do you know him? Xiao Chuhan suddenly heard her evaluation of herself, and she couldn't help but feel a hint of joy in her heart, and couldn't help but look at Yun Yao carefully.
In front of her, she was a very ordinary girl, but her demeanor was down-and-out and generous, and she was neither flattering nor afraid in front of herself, which made her stand out.
"No, how could I know such a noble prince." Yun Yao asked, "Can you talk to him?" β
"Okay, what are you going to say to him?" Xiao Chuhan found that he was interested in this girl. She didn't know her true identity, but she didn't hesitate to praise herself like this in front of a stranger, what was this for? What purpose does she have?
"Oh, that's great!" Yun Yao immediately sat upright, ready to lobby the adult in front of her. She thought about it for a long time before she came up with these ideas, and if she wanted to gain the gratitude and faith of others, the more people who benefited, the better, isn't King Xiliang the best candidate?
Yun Yao immediately talked eloquently, saying her thoughts one by one, the more Xiao Chuhan's eyes brightened the more he listened, and he simply took out a pen and paper to make a record, and the two chatted until late at night.
The lights in the east wing were on for half the night, and Da Niu kept his eyes open in the room for half the night.
He heard it when Xiao Chuhan jumped into the courtyard wall, but Yun Yao told him not to go out, so he endured it. The sound of the door was heard, and the man entered Xiaoyun's room, and soon the candles were lit in the room, and the sound of conversation sounded softly.
Da Niu listened to the conversation between the two, although he couldn't hear what he was saying, he was still comforted in his heart. They really have something serious to say, not for the sake of their children's personal feelings.
However, the hour was getting later and later, and the two of them were still talking endlessly, and Da Niu couldn't bear to feel a ball. What the hell is going on? Haven't said yes in the middle of the night?
He put on his clothes and stood by the window to look out, the courtyard was dark and gloomy, only a small window let in a little candlelight. His father and mother were asleep, and he didn't dare to make a sound to alarm them, so he stood by the window with his fists clenched by himself, and the vinegar churning in his heart almost overwhelmed him.
Do you want to remind him and tell him to leave early after talking? Da Niu was hesitating, but he heard the door creak open, and Yun Yao walked out in the dark.
