Chapter 217: A False Alarm
"Auntie, seeing that I have been with you for several days, my family must already be worried that I am worried, I have to go back early to report their safety and let them know that I am still alive."
The mother-in-law was old, and she was panting after cleaning up the yard, and looked at Xu Tiantian and nodded gently.
"You're right, your family must be worried about you. So when are you going to go back? ”
Although the two of them have only been together for a few days, it is false to say that there is no emotion. What's more, in the past few days, it is said that she is taking care of Xu Tiantian, but in fact, Xu Tiantian is taking care of her, she is old, and she always has some inconvenient legs and feet, Xu Tiantian is diligent and will not complain at all.
Xu Tiantian took her mother-in-law's hand and made a decision.
"Now that I'm almost in good shape, I think I'll go back tomorrow. Mother-in-law, you see that this village is already remote, I see that there are not many roads out, and it is very far away from the county seat, otherwise mother-in-law, how about you go back with me? ”
Although she shouldn't have been in charge of these idle things, the mother-in-law in front of her is a life-saving benefactor for her, and the grace of dripping water should be reciprocated.
What's more, if this mother-in-law is brought to the palace, it will only be an arrangement for Xuanye to do for her.
The old woman shook her head lightly and looked at the scenery around, although there were not many things in this thatched house, she was born and raised here since she was a child, and her emotions were naturally extraordinary.
"No need, I know that you are a kind girl, and I can't bear to be here alone as an old man, but I have been used to being here all my life, and suddenly I went to a strange place and I have always been restless all these years."
Xu Tiantian knows that people always have to pay attention to a fallen leaf and return to the roots, but the old woman is old after all, not to mention that she has such a reassuring son.
"Mother-in-law, you can go back with me, if you miss this place all the time, I will let people follow you every day to have a look. What's more, I still have to inquire all the way to Dongcheng from this village and am not familiar with it, if you follow you, you can probably take a lot less unjust roads. ”
The old woman seemed to be moved by what Xu Tiantian said, and her heart was a little shaken, "But how is it appropriate for me to go to your house as an old woman, will your parents mind?" ”
Xu Tiantian smiled, "Mother-in-law, you know pharmacology, it just so happens that there is a lack of a person in my house who understands pharmacology." How about I give you twenty dollars a month when you go? ”
The old woman was naturally happy in her heart, not because she valued the twenty yuan, but because Xu Tiantian was really a real child.
"This is naturally good, but my unsuccessful son may come to me again to ask for money in a few days, so you can take me to write a letter and tell him that my wife is not dead."
Xu Tiantian nodded, and went to bed early with the old woman's things.
On the second day, when Xu Tiantian and the old woman arrived in Dongcheng, it was already noon, and the guards in the palace, Xu Tiantian, opened their mouths wide and showed that their jaws dropped in shock.
"Shire, Shire!"
Xu Tiantian helped the old woman and smiled softly, "How is the prince doing these days?" ”
A guard was just about to put down his things and go to the house to report, but Xu Tiantian stopped him, "You go and take this mother-in-law to find the housekeeper, and let the housekeeper settle down this mother-in-law well." ”
The guards nodded their heads in response.
Xu Tiantian walked in the palace, there were few people in the palace quietly, compared to the vitality before she left, it seemed that she had changed her appearance.
It seems that no one has been in Xuanye's study for a long time, Xu Tiantian gently pushed open the door, and a ray of sunlight shone in, and the room was so depressing that it was breathless.
According to the guard, Xuan Ye has been in the study for the past few days, but it doesn't look like a person in this study, and it looks like an empty room.
"Xuanye, Xuanye?"
Xu Tiantian frowned, opened all the windows in the study, and immediately lit up, Xu Tiantian shouted twice tentatively.
Xuan Ye sat on the ground, next to countless wine jars, and the whole study was full of wine.
Xu Tiantian accidentally tripped over the wine jars that were placed on the ground, and then saw Xuan Ye, who was already drowsy.
Xu Tiantian slowly squatted down, cleaned up all the messy things next to her, and then wanted to pull Xuan Ye up from the ground.
"Xuanye, how do you sleep here and be careful to cool down."
But Xuanye is a man, his strength Xu Tiantian is always invincible, not to mention that he has drunk too much wine and has no strength on his body.
Probably sensing that someone was coming, Xuan Ye frowned impatiently, then waved his hand and pulled his sleeve out of Xu Tiantian's hand.
"Shen Qi, what's going on? Didn't I say that? No one in the study was allowed to step further. You go out, get me out. ”
After that, Xuan Ye staggered and almost fell to the ground, Xu Tiantian hurriedly supported him and responded, "You're right, you're right, you go to bed and lie down first, and I'll go out immediately after settling down." ”
The familiar voice suddenly heated up, the woman's voice was like a heavenly sound, Xuan Ye opened his eyes in a daze, looked at the number of people in front of him and couldn't believe it, and then smiled bitterly.
"Tiantian, you're here. I must be dreaming again, I've been dreaming about you these days, do you want to say something to me? Don't worry, I'll take care of the little stones. ”
Xu Tiantian really had a headache, while grabbing his sleeve tightly, and on the other hand, he had to be careful of those things on the ground, "I know, I know that you will take good care of the little stone." Okay, stop talking and sleep quietly for a while. ”
Finally, Xu Tiantian sent Xuan Ye to bed, it was obviously late autumn weather, but she was already sweating.
Xu Tiantian originally wanted to get up and boil some decanting soup for Xuan Ye, but Xuan Ye grabbed her hand tightly.
"Tiantian, don't go. I know you're blaming me, I only see you when I'm drunk, and you don't know how painful it is for me to be sober like this every day. You're back, are you okay to come back? ”
This time, Xu Tiantian understood, although when she came back, she was already mentally prepared for everyone to think that she was dead, but now Xuanye's appearance really made her feel distressed.
A big man just knocked him down because of some trivial things, and it was the first time she had seen Xuan Ye look so decadent.
It turns out that in his heart, does he have such an important position?
For a while, Xu Tiantian suddenly didn't know whether she should be moved or distressed.
"Don't worry, I'm not leaving, I'm not going anywhere, I'll go get a basin of water to wipe your face."
Xuan Ye closed his eyes and frowned tightly, slowly lost his voice, and after he fell asleep, Xu Tiantian sat up gently, took a basin of hot water, wrung out the heat of the towel room, gently put down Xuan Ye's forehead, and took a clean handkerchief to wipe her face.
"What a fool, even if I really die, I can't toss my body like this."
She is not from this world, she comes from a completely strange world, maybe sooner or later she will have to go back, how will Xuanye deal with herself at that time?
After a long time, Xuan Ye slowly opened his eyes. Probably because the study was too closed, he was used to it, and suddenly there was light everywhere now, and he subconsciously covered his eyes with his hands, but his head was as painful as if it had exploded.
He dreamed of Xu Tiantian, but he had forgotten that this was the first time he had dreamed of Xu Tiantian, every time she was smiling, but when he woke up, there was nothing.
"Are you awake?"
Xu Tiantian handed her a cup of decanting soup on the side.
Xuan Ye was stunned, a pair of eyes looked at him for a while, and there was obviously a difference, and his whole body froze there motionless.
"Tiantian, you ......"
Is it a dream, or is it a dream now?
"Silly? The arm I'm lifting here is going to be sore, do you take it or not? ”
Xuan Ye's body was a little stiff, and Mu Ne took the bowl of sobering soup and drank it, but his eyes never left Xu Tiantian from beginning to end.
After watching Xuan Ye finish drinking the decanting soup, Xu Tiantian took the empty bowl and put it on the table, sat down on the side, and gently tucked the corner of the quilt for him.
"It's good, what do you do after drinking so much wine doesn't still spoil your body in the end, but now I feel better and don't have a headache."
Looking at the dark green under Xuan Ye's eyes, it was probably because he hadn't slept well for a long time.
It took a long time for Xuan Ye to finally react, sat up suddenly, grabbed Xu Tiantian's arm tightly, and looked at Xu Tiantian with wide eyes, wanting to confirm whether this was true or not, "This is not a dream?" ”
"Shhhh
Xu Tiantian raised her eyebrows, and twisted her last hand on Xuan Ye's arm, "Does it hurt?" ”
Xuan Ye gasped, it hurt.
It's just that slowly, his eyes were red, and he hugged Xu Tiantian tightly, Xu Tiantian was a little out of breath, but he understood that he was worried about himself, so he had to hug him back for a while, comforting him softly.
"I know you're worried about me, but now I'm not back in good hands, right? Don't worry, it's nothing, nothing. ”
Xuan Ye's voice trembled a little, "Do you know that you are going to scare me to death these days, I thought you were really as they said, Tiantian, no matter where you go in the future, I will follow you closely, and I will never let you take any risks alone." ”
It was enough for him to endure this kind of torment once, he really couldn't imagine how Xu Tiantian would live without him.
Xu Tiantian nodded, "Okay, no matter where I go in the future, I will take you with me for the rest of my life." ”
