Chapter 20: Guarding
Xiao Yu wanted to cast a spell to help him, but remembered that he couldn't abuse spells in the human world, so he dispelled this idea.
Xiao Yu walked over with his head down, picked up another bucket that Jingchen hadn't had time to dump, and poured it into the tank.
"White ...... White Girl? Why are you here? "Jingchen saw Xiao Yu appear here, it was inevitably a little strange.
"Miss sees that you are working too hard, let me help you." Xiao Yu didn't tell him what he really thought.
"Well, go back! Tell the young lady that I appreciate her kindness, so I don't have to trouble you so much. But Jingchen thought that he couldn't trouble Qing Yao repeatedly.
"It's okay, I'm happy to help you." Xiao Yu didn't care about what Jingchen said, he just worked hard to help him, and his fingers had already been blistered by the handle of the bucket.
But Xiao Yu still insisted on continuing, so he didn't tell Jingchen, but endured the pain and went back and forth to the river.
And Jingchen also wanted to stop her, but Xiao Yu kept her head down and did these rough jobs without saying a word, as if she couldn't see her.
It took about an hour to dry before the tank was barely filled.
"Rest! White Girl. Jingchen took Xiao Yu to sit on the bamboo platform in front of the house, and gave Xiao Yu a scoop of water, "Tired, drink saliva." ”
But Xiao Yu still kept her head down, because she didn't dare to look at and talk to Jingchen, she was afraid that before she spoke, she couldn't help but cry when she saw Jingchen's familiar eyes.
But in order to make Jingchen feel that she was really here for Qing Yao, she had to take a deep breath and try to adjust her emotions, "What about them?" ”
"Who?" Jingchen looked at Xiao Yu.
"Other miscellaneous servants." Xiao Yu lowered his head again.
"It was late, and they usually went to their sons to get some work after dinner, and then went back to sleep." Jingchen smiled.
"Why don't you say it?" Xiao Yu didn't care about greeting Jingchen, "He wants to help you work."
"How do you know?" Jingchen felt that he hadn't said this to Xiao Yu, "Why don't you say it?" ”
Jingchen saw that Xiao Yu didn't want to say, so he didn't continue to ask, "Because...... It's a brother! ”
"Brother? But now he goes to eat and sleep alone, and he leaves you to suffer alone. Hearing Jingchen say this, Xiao Yu was even more dissatisfied.
"It's not about suffering! Although he didn't stand up for me this time, it's human nature, isn't it? I'm sure he'll help me the next time I'm in trouble. Jingchen was thoughtful.
Xiao Yu looked at the person in front of him, he ...... Is it really my dust? "People? You're not the same as you used to......"
"Once upon a time? Do you know my past? Jingchen looked at Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing, "It's nothing, I'...... He has never seen Childe, how can he know Childe's past? ”
Xiao Yu thought that Jingchen came to the world to protect himself, if he remembered it, or if he told him, would everything disappear now.
If what he forgets is pain, it is better to let him continue to forget like this.
As soon as Xiao Yu raised his eyes, he saw that one of Jingchen's hands was rubbing his shoulder, so he smoothed his skirt, stood up, walked behind Jingchen, put his hands on Jingchen's shoulders, and rubbed Jingchen's shoulders with appropriate and comfortable strength.
"Does it still hurt?" Xiao Yu asked Jingchen with a little tenderness.
But Jingchen suddenly didn't know what to do, but he inexplicably enjoyed the feeling, and his nervous hands didn't know where to put them.
"White girl, you don't have to ......" Xiao Yu knew what he was going to say, "don't move, just take it as a gift from Miss!" ”
Jingchen's nervous mood gradually relaxed.
It was a cool day, with the evening breeze blowing across their faces, and a bright moon hanging high in the night sky, the moonlight shining on both of them.
A man dressed in black sat on a bamboo platform, the hair on his sideburns fluttering in the wind, and behind him was a girl dressed in white, gently helping him relieve the fatigue of the day with her slender jade fingers.
They are like people in a painting, rising with the wind and stopping when the wind stops.
Nan Ling, who was about to come over to help Jingchen carry water, saw all this in her eyes and looked at them with envy on her face.
He didn't dare to be jealous of Jingchen, because he was the one who made Jingchen meet Xiao Yu, so he was not qualified to say anything.
could only watch Xiao Yu and Jingchen heat up on such a beautiful night, and Nan Ling left silently, leaving no trace.
"Isn't it better?" Xiao Yu's crescent-shaped eyes looked at the man she cherished with a smile.
"Well, thank you, Miss White." Jingchen just nodded.
"Call me Xiao Yu." Xiao Yu leaned his face closer to Jingchen's ear.
"It's not in order." Jingchen subconsciously dodged.
"Call me Xiao Yu, you used to call me that." Xiao Yu continued to persuade.
"Once upon a time?" Jingchen turned his head to look at Xiao Yu.
"No, my friends and relatives call me Xiao Yu." Xiao Yu's heart suddenly became empty
"This ......" Jingchen still didn't dare to shout.
"If you treat me as a friend, call me Xiao Yu." Xiao Yu pressed forward step by step.
"Xiao Yu." Jingchen had no choice but to shirk.
Xiao Yu looked at Jingchen, and his eyes once again revealed that kind of reluctance and distress, "I'm leaving." ”
"I'll send you." Jingchen hurriedly got up.
"No need, rest early, tomorrow, you have to get up early!" Xiao Yu pretended to leave, making sure that there was no sound behind him before daring to look back and watch Jingchen's back disappear.
Xiao Yu returned to the side hall of Cui Yun Xuan.
"Bai Yu, why did you come back?" Xiao Ling was still in front of Qing Yao's room.
"Oh, something happened on the way, and it took a little time, miss...... Still asleep? Xiao Yu nodded.
"Well, I haven't woken up." Xiao Ling glanced at Qing Yao.
"You haven't eaten yet, I'll go to the dining room and bring the food." Xiao Ling left Cui Yun Xuan, went to the dining room and said that the young lady was going to have supper, so the guy in the dining room made another one, took the bamboo basket and returned to Cui Yun Xuan and gave it to Xiao Yu, "It's still hot, eat it!" ”
"Okay" Xiao Yu suddenly remembered something, took the basket and prepared to leave.
"Where are you going so late?" Xiao Ling stopped Xiao Yu.
"It's stuffy here, the food is cold and slow, I'll go out to eat, you can sleep first." Xiao Yu had no choice but to deal with it.
"Then I don't care about you, I'm almost tired from running here and there with Miss today."
Xiao Yu hurriedly ran out of Cui Yunxuan with a basket and ran to the guest room.
But even at night, the guards outside the door still did not relax, and Xiao Yu had to climb over the wall.
But you can't use spells in the world, and you can't do light work, how can you get in?
At this time, a hand slapped Xiao Yu, and Xiao Yu exclaimed in fright, "Who?" ”
The guards outside the door became alert when they heard the noise, and hurriedly came to check.
"Is that you?" As soon as Xiao Yu turned around, he found that it was Yu Mo.
Yu Mo covered her mouth and pulled him to the wall, "I'll help you." ”
"Huh?" It was the first time Xiao Yu saw Yu Mo take the initiative to help him.
"Aren't you going to look for him?" Yu Mo frowned.
"Why are you ......" Xiao Yu still wanted to ask clearly.
"Don't talk nonsense, let's go." Yu Mo dragged Xiao Yu over the wall at once.
Xiao Yu waited on the other side of the wall for a long time and didn't see Yu Mo coming, so he asked in a low voice, "Aren't you coming?" ”
"No, I still have something to do, let's go first......" Yu Mo's voice suddenly became smaller.
"Okay, then be careful yourself." Xiao Yu is not easy to force.
"Hmm." Yu Mo lowered his voice.
Xiao Yu tiptoed into the courtyard of the guest room with the basket.
And Yu Mo didn't actually leave, just waited quietly outside the wall, for fear that something would happen to Xiao Yu in the courtyard, and no one answered.
