Chapter 15: No need to hide anymore

Lu Xiang'er slept very soundly this night, and when she opened her eyes and woke up, she realized that she was not dreaming. Moreover, Lu Xiang'er suddenly discovered a serious thing, she fell asleep in the yard. But she was lying in the house at this time.

Thinking of this, Lu Xiang'er suddenly became energetic, and hurriedly sat up and looked around. There was no one in the house, Lu Xiang'er came to a conclusion, and immediately put on her shoes and ran to the yard. There was no one in the yard either, Lu Xiang'er was a little strange, could it be that I was sleepwalking by myself.

"Xiang'er, are you awake?" Lu Hong walked into the courtyard with a bundle of firewood, and saw Lu Xiang'er standing there, and a smile immediately appeared on his face. Lu Xiang'er is very strange, Lu Hong should still be in the county school at this hour, how can he be at home.

Lu Xiang'er stepped forward to help Lu Hong take the firewood off his shoulder, and asked, "Brother, why are you at home, shouldn't you be in the school?" ”

"Oh, I took my leave from my husband and came back early." Lu Hong stuffed Lu Xiang'er's loose hair behind her ears before saying, "Xiang'er, you play in the yard for a while, or go to your sister Xiu'er, and my brother will cook for you." ”

After speaking, Lu Hong walked into the kitchen with firewood. Lu Xiang'er was stunned in place, and a faint warmth rose in her heart. Thinking about it, Lu Xiang'er ran to the kitchen, stood at the door and said to Lu Hong: "Brother, did you come back so early to cook for Xiang'er?" ”

Lu Hong didn't answer directly, just snorted. This made Lu Xiang'er immediately smile happily: "Brother, why are you so good to Xiang'er?" ”

"Xiang'er, don't disturb my brother's cooking here." Lu Hong seemed to be a little uncomfortable with Lu Xiang'er's inquiry, so he drove her into the courtyard. After Lu Hong turned around, he said softly: "Silly sister, I am my brother, you are my sister, how can my brother not be good to my sister." ”

Lu Xiang'er, who ran back again, wanted to ask Lu Hong what to eat, but she didn't expect to hear Lu Hong's self-talk. After hearing these words, Lu Xiang'er immediately flashed to the side and leaned against the wall of the kitchen, feeling a little complicated. Lu Hong is so good to her, but she steals grapes and makes wine by herself, but it seems a little inappropriate not to tell this brother who has always regarded her as his own sister.

The more she thought about it, the more Lu Xiang'er seemed to see Lu Hong's disappointed eyes. When she thought of that image, she felt breathless. Thinking of this, Lu Xiang'er immediately interrupted her fantasies, stood at the kitchen door again, looked at the busy Lu Hong, and said softly: "Brother, ......"

"Xiang'er, you're hungry. Wait a little longer and the meal will be hot. Hearing Lu Xiang'er's voice, Lu Hong raised his head and glanced at her, lowered his head and added firewood to the stove, not finding that Lu Xiang'er had something to say to him.

Lu Xiang'er hesitated for a while, and then said softly: "Brother, I have something I want to tell you. ”

"What's the matter?" This time, Lu Hong finally raised his head and noticed Lu Xiang'er's hesitant look.

But when Lu Xiang'er opened her mouth again, wanting to say something about her eating grapes and making wine, a chaotic footsteps came from outside the courtyard. Then, a voice familiar to both Lu Xiang'er and Lu Hong sounded: "Xiang'er, A-Niang is back." ”

"Auntie?" Lu Xiang'er didn't care about it, and Lu Hong didn't care about asking, but they were all interrupted by the surprise of Lu Erniang's return.

Seeing Lu Erniang, who was carrying a burden and being dusty, Lu Xianger turned around and ran over and hugged her. Lu Hong was embarrassed to throw herself into Lu Erniang's arms, but stepped forward to help take off her heavy burden and put it on the ground. Then, Lu Hong walked to Uncle Zhao and Aunt Zhao, who followed Lu Erniang into the yard, to say hello.

Uncle Zhao glanced at Lu Erniang quickly, patted Lu Hong's head, sighed and turned to leave. But Aunt Zhao said to Lu Hong with emotion: "It's hard for you." Fortunately, it's all right now, go and persuade your aunt. ”

Hearing Aunt Zhao's words, Lu Hong was very strange, thinking that it was not because the toys were not selling well. Thinking about Aunt Zhao's words carefully, it doesn't seem like this, what is going on. Just as Lu Hong was thinking about it, Lu Xiang'er's immature and slightly frightened voice sounded: "Auntie, why are you crying, what happened?" ”

"What's wrong with A-Niang?" As soon as Lu Hong heard Lu Xiang'er say this, he immediately ran in front of Lu Erniang and looked up at her face. At this time, Lu Hong saw that Lu Erniang was already full of tears and looked at Lu Xiang'er. And Lu Xiang'er's eyes were also red, but she wiped Lu Erniang's face with her sleeve while muttering, 'A-Niang doesn't cry'.

After Lu Hong and Lu Erniang went to Qianzhou to rely on each other, they rarely saw her like today. Thinking that Lu Erniang was like this after she went to Jiangling Mansion and came back, Lu Hong immediately thought of something bad, her whole body instantly stiffened, her fists clenched tightly, she pressed her throat, and she squeezed out a sentence: "A-Niang, is someone bullying you, you tell me, I will avenge you." ”

"Oh, Erniang, you see that you scared Brother Hong, let's go into the house and talk." Seeing Lu Hong's very penetrating appearance, Aunt Zhao was immediately startled, and then she understood that Lu Hong had misunderstood, and hurriedly raised her voice in front of Lu Hong, and continued: "Brother Hong, don't worry, your aunt didn't let people bully. With your master here, you can still let people bully your mother. ”

Yes, with the master here, how could A-Niang be bullied. Thinking of Uncle Zhao, Lu Hong's whole body momentum immediately dispersed. Lu Erniang got Aunt Zhao's reminder, and only then did she think that this was in the yard, and she was a little out of shape. Seeing that Lu Xiang'er was about to cry again, she hurriedly pulled Lu Luo and walked towards the house with Lu Xiang'er in her arms.

Aunt Zhao also wanted to follow up the house, but she smelled a mushy smell, so she looked towards the kitchen, and couldn't help but run into the kitchen in surprise. Just now, Lu Hong was cooking a meal for Lu Erniang in the hot morning, but he caught up with Lu Erniang to come back from Jiangling Mansion, so he boiled the water in the pot dry, and even the two boiled eggs in it were mushy.

When Aunt Zhao was cleaning up the kitchen, Lu Erniang was sitting in the room with Lu Xiang'er in her arms, and said to Lu Hong very simply: "The three major feudal kings in Jiangnan have jointly rebelled, and His Majesty the Emperor has announced to the world that he will send troops to Jiangnan to quell the rebellion. ”

"King Chen's rebellion?" When Lu Hong heard the news, he immediately remembered the young general and the army stationed at the foot of the mountain next to him. But Lu Xiang'er was excited after hearing what Lu Hong said about 'King Chen'.

King Chen rebelled, and the court sent troops to quell the rebellion, which means that King Chen is no longer the vassal king of the Great Zhou Dynasty, so the three members of the Lu family don't have to hide anymore. Moreover, even if King Chen wanted to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, at this moment, he probably didn't have the energy to send people to the Jiang side to arrest the three members of the Lu family.

Thinking that she didn't have to live carefully, Lu Xiang'er blurted out excitedly: "Auntie, we don't have to worry about King Chen sending someone to arrest us." ”

"Xiang'er, do you remember the past?" Lu Erniang didn't say it so clearly to Lu Hong just now, she just didn't want Lu Xiang'er to think of what happened in Qianzhou. But Lu Xiang'er's words immediately made Lu Erniang and Lu Hong's eyes fall on her.

When Lu Xiang'er found the gaze of the two, she realized that she had slipped her mouth, and immediately laughed dryly. Thinking that her performance at this time didn't seem to be right, Lu Xiang'er immediately lowered her head, suppressed her voice, and said softly: "Xiang'er has already remembered." But Xiang'er was afraid that A-Niang and her brother would worry about Xiang'er, so Xiang'er didn't say anything. ”

"My poor Xiang'er." As soon as Lu Xiang'er's voice fell, Lu Erniang hugged her into her arms again, and the tears fell again.

During the days that Lu Hong was in Qinghe Village, he grew up very quickly. Don't look at him as only eight years old, but he already knows a lot of things. Lu Xiang'er's words made Lu Erniang sad, and Lu Hong's heart was also very complicated. Gently touching Lu Xiang'er's hair, Lu Hong remembered the time when he fled again.

When Song Yuan took Lu Xiang'er to Lu Erniang's house, it was Lu Hong who opened the door. Although it was not the first time Lu Hong saw Lu Xiang'er, it was the first time she left a deep impression on Lu Hong. At that time, Lu Xiang'er was held in Song Yuan's arms, her eyes closed tightly, and there were tears on her cheeks. And after she woke up, the kind of dazed and helpless, Lu Hong remembered it clearly.

"Xiang'er, don't care about those unhappy things. You still have Auntie, and your brother, and your brother will protect you. Lu Hong smiled lightly, his eyelids drooping quietly.
