Chapter 44: Morning Glow

"Brother Hong, you said that it's almost time, why hasn't Xiang'er come back, nothing will happen."

Lu Erniang walked back and forth in the house, looking at the sky for a while, and looking outside the door for a while, looking more and more anxious. It's no wonder that Lu Erniang is in a hurry, after Lu Xiang'er lived with her, she has never gone out, and she has not come back so late.

Lu Hong, who was looking at the book, shook his head with a smile, just wanted to appease Lu Xiang'er again, only to find that it was really almost time. Lu Hong's face changed slightly, and he quickly returned to normal, and said with a soft smile: "Ah Niang, with Mr. Song with you, nothing will happen to Xiang'er." He hasn't come back yet, maybe Xiang'er has been talking with the old craftsman for a long time. If you're in a hurry, why don't you go out to meet your son? ”

Lu Erniang paused slightly, then glanced outside, shook her head and said, "It's very cold outside now, so don't go out." You're right, with Mr. Song here, nothing will happen to Xiang'er. I'll go to the kitchen to make some ginger soup and wait for Xiang'er to come back and go to the cold. ”

As soon as the words fell, Lu Erniang had already left the house. Seeing this, Zao'er and Xiao Tao, who were embroidering purses on the side, had already put down the needle and thread, and when Lu Erniang turned around, they all came to her side and followed her to the kitchen. In the calm room, Lu Hong's smiling face disappeared immediately.

If it weren't for Lu Erniang mentioning the time, Lu Hong wouldn't have noticed that it was so late. Lu Erniang is worried about Lu Xiang'er, why is Lu Hong not worried about her. But he is already a man, in order to comfort Lu Erniang, Lu Hong can't show his feelings. After thinking about it, Lu Hong put down the book in his hand, picked up a cloak and walked out of the house, he still planned to go out to meet Lu Xiang'er. Otherwise, Lu Hong would be looking at the book, but he wouldn't be able to read it.

As soon as Lu Hong opened the courtyard door, he saw a carriage coming from the corner of the street. Seeing Xiao Wu and Song Yuan sitting in the carriage, Lu Hong was immediately overjoyed and opened the courtyard door. Moreover, he also went back to the customs and shouted to Lu Erniang in the kitchen: "A-Niang, Xiang'er is back-"

"Brother Hong, is it really Xiang'er back?" As soon as Lu Erniang heard Lu Hong's voice, her face immediately appeared with joy, and she handed the ginger in her hand to Zao'er, and ran out.

When Lu Erniang ran to the gate of the courtyard, the carriage also arrived in front of Lu Hong. Song Yuan, who was a little anxious about the safety of the little lady in the car, jumped out of the car, didn't notice his speech disease, and said to Lu Erniang in a hurried and fast tone: "Erniang, let Zao'er and Xiaotao carry the ......."

Before Song Yuan finished speaking, Lu Erniang's body was already soft, half leaning on Lu Hong's body, and she couldn't say anything. Lu Hong, who felt the same as Lu Erniang in his heart, lost his usual stability, and when he found Lu Erniang's appearance, he immediately exclaimed: "A-Niang, what's wrong with you?" ”

"Brother, what's wrong with A-Niang?" Lu Xiang'er, who was taking care of the little lady in the car, heard Lu Hong's voice, and stumbled open the curtain and jumped out of the car.

When Lu Erniang saw Lu Xiang'er, she immediately pounced, hugged Lu Xiang'er and checked up and down, and asked in a trembling tone: "Xiang'er, what's wrong with you, tell Ah Niang quickly......"

"Yes, Xiang'er, what's wrong with you?" When Lu Hong saw Lu Xiang'er jump out of the car, he felt as if he was thinking wrong. However, in order to find out what Song Yuan meant, he still held back the anxiety in his heart and looked at Lu Xiang'er carefully.

"Little lady Lu is fine, what's wrong?" Xiao Wu was very puzzled by what was going on in front of him. But his muttering reminded Song Yuan, who was stunned, and made him understand that he had made a misunderstanding.

Song Yuan, who was a little remorseful in his heart, stepped forward and said urgently: "Erniang, Brother Hong, you misunderstood." Xiang'er didn't have any trouble, it was us who saved someone on the way back. She was unconscious, so I asked Zao'er and Xiao Tao to help carry her into the house. ”

"Huh?" When Lu Erniang heard Song Yuan's explanation, her heart was relieved, and she wanted to say something more, but after the fuss, her whole body went weak and she sat down on the ground all of a sudden.

Lu Xiang'er and Lu Hong were both by Lu Erniang's side, and they supported her one by one in time, and exclaimed: "Ah Niang, what's wrong with you?" ”

"I'm fine, I'm fine, I just scared." Lu Erniang waved her hand and took a few breaths before slowly getting up.

When Song Yuan saw this scene, he was extremely sad in his heart, and his face was a little ugly. He wanted to step forward and help Lu Erniang up, but he had to endure it with his face and his might. Thinking of his slip of the tongue, Song Yuan said very guiltily: "Erniang, I didn't think it through, I misunderstood you and scared you." I'm really ......."

"No, no, Mr. Song, how can I blame you. It's because I didn't ask clearly that I lost my sense of proportion, and I hope Mr. Song doesn't mind. Only then did Lu Erniang remember that she had lost her temper in front of Song Yuan, she was slightly uncomfortable, and the atmosphere gradually became a little out of shape.

Lu Hong was also a little embarrassed that he was not calm, and he was extremely eager to get out of this situation. When he raised his eyes and saw the carriage, he immediately asked Lu Xiang'er: "Xiang'er, you just said that you saved a person on the way back, and his injuries are very serious, why don't I carry him to the house with Xiao Wu?" ”

"Oops, I almost forgot." Lu Xiang'er stomped her feet, hurriedly got into the carriage, and said to Xiao Wu while getting on: "Xiao Wu, go and call Zao'er and Xiao Tao to help carry people." ”

"How much strength can Zao'er and Xiao Tao have, it's better for me and Xiao Wu to get in the car and carry him." As he spoke, Lu Hong was about to get into the car. Lu Xiang'er glanced at him and said angrily: "Brother, this person is a little lady, do you really want to carry him?" ”

"Ah, little lady?" Lu Hong stopped, and then jumped out of the car quickly, his face was still slightly red. Lu Hong was already fourteen years old, and he understood the defense of men and women very well, so he beckoned to the jujube and Xiao Tao in the courtyard.

Zao'er and Xiao Tao had already noticed that something was wrong at the gate, so they stood at the kitchen door and looked at this side from afar. Seeing Lu Hong's gesture, the two immediately ran over. Under the command of Lu Xiang'er, the two girls carried the unconscious little lady to the wing room in the backyard.

Fortunately, the Lu family still has the remaining medicinal materials from Song Yuan last time, and Song Yuan really selected a few symptomatic herbs from them and handed them to Zao'er and Xiao Tao, and asked the two of them to fry them. At this time, Lu Erniang also made a pot of soup cakes for the three people who returned. Xiao Wu took the bowl and went to find Zao'er and Xiao Tao, and asked the four of them to talk in the living room of the main house.

Lu Xiang'er knew that Lu Erniang and Lu Hong wanted to know what happened on the way, and quickly finished eating the soup cakes before recounting the experience of the day. After hearing this, Lu Hong, like Song Yuan, was a little worried about whether this little lady would cause trouble for their family of three. Lu Erniang doesn't care, in her cognition, saving someone's life is a great good deed. I agree that Lu Xianger did not sit idly by and went home directly.

Just when Lu Hong was guessing the identity of the little lady, Xiao Tao ran to the living room and told everyone that she was awake. And after drinking a bowl, her spirit is also better, and she wants to meet the person who saved her. Lu Erniang asked Lu Hong to accompany Song Yuan in the living room, and she took Lu Xiang'er to the wing room in the backyard.

In the room, the little lady lying on the bed looked at everything in the room, and some didn't believe that she had been rescued. She thought she was so badly wounded that she was going to die in the wilderness. And when she saw a pair of 'mother and daughter' walking into the room, a flash of brilliance flashed in her eyes, and no one noticed.

Seeing the little lady who woke up, Lu Erniang immediately showed a look of surprise. Just a little hectic, Lu Erniang didn't take a closer look at the appearance of this little lady, and then took a closer look, only to find what a beautiful little lady this is. Although she is not very old and her face is a little pale, she still can't hide her cold appearance.

Beautiful things always make people let down their guard, regardless of the difference between men and women. Lu Erniang was originally a warm-hearted person, and in the face of such a 'sick beauty', compassion suddenly rose. Pulling Lu Xiang'er a few steps forward, Lu Erniang smiled and said, "This little lady, how do you feel?" If something doesn't feel good, I'll go find someone to do it. ”

"Thank you so much for the lady's family, I'm fine now, I don't need to look for Lang Zhong anymore." The little lady's expression did not change, but her eyes were full of gratitude. When Lu Erniang saw it, she somewhat understood that this little lady was a person who was cold on the outside and hot on the inside.

Lu Xiang'er is becoming more and more sober, and the little lady is very familiar, but she can't remember where she has seen it. In order to clarify the doubts in her heart, a smile appeared on Lu Xiang'er's face, and she said like a little lady: "Sister, you are so good-looking, can Xiang'er know your name?" ”

"Xiang'er?" The little lady looked at Lu Xiang'er's eyes for a moment, but she quickly fell on Lu Xiang'er's body again, and said softly: "Xiang'er, you can call me Chaoxia." ”

"It turned out to be Sister Chaoxia, Sister Chaoxia's name is so good." Lu Xiang'er quickly searched her memory, and it was true that there was no memory of this Chaoxia, which made her more and more strange.

Lu Erniang saw that Chaoxia seemed to be very tired, and stopped Lu Xiang'er, who was about to say something, with her eyes, and said softly to Chaoxia: "I also call you Chaoxia." Chaoxia, your body is still very weak, take a good rest, and Xiang'er and I will come to see you tomorrow. ”

"Chaoxia also wants to thank Aunt Lu for saving her life." Chaoxia glanced at Lu Erniang warmly, and then slowly closed her eyes. Looking at her appearance, she should be really very weak.

Seeing this, Lu Xiang'er lightened her steps like Lu Erniang and quietly left the room. When she came to the outside world, Lu Erniang left Xiao Tao to keep vigil. Let her go and see Asaka every once in a while at night, so that she doesn't have a fever or something.

When the mother and daughter returned to the main room, Song Yuan had already left. Without outsiders, Lu Xiang'er let the tiredness of the day emerge. Seeing her appearance, Lu Erniang was distressed and sad. Without saying a few words, he drove Lu Xiang'er back to the backyard to rest.
