Chapter 41: Overnight stay
That whole night, Qinghuan didn't sleep well. I don't know if it was because she slept too long in the afternoon, or because Li Yan's actions made her uneasy.
Looking back on this period of time, every bit of Li Yan seems to show that this person finally responded to Qinghuan's feelings.
But is that really the case?
Qing Huan didn't know, because the scene of Li Yan to Chu Yi was constantly replaying in his mind at this time, as if reminding Qing Huan.
Qing Huan clearly remembered that Chu Yi once said that before Li Yan got married, he treated her very well. She didn't know this "excellent" detail, but watched Chu Yi jump into the gentle trap regardless of it, and finally left scarred.
Even these days, Li Yan continues to show favor to her, Qinghuan is still uneasy.
If Li Yan's actions were just because she felt indebted to Qinghuan, then she didn't want such feelings.
If it was still the same as before, just acting well, then she would not be able to accept it.
She didn't know which kind of thought Li Yan had in her heart, or both?
Rationally, she didn't dare to accept it. But emotionally, her heart kept sinking, which made Qing Huan herself very afraid.
She struggled, tossing and turning in bed. Sometimes I looked at the sleeping eyeshadow on the bed next to me, and sometimes I looked at the top of the bed in a daze, not knowing what I was thinking.
In short, this night was the first time she had insomnia in so long since she crossed over.
Gradually, I could hear the chickens in the village not far away starting to crow, and the sky outside was brightening up little by little.
In order not to be discovered by others, Qing Huan made a random decision: no matter what Li Yan is, he will observe coldly for more time.
After making a decision, Qing Huan finally fell asleep with his tired body.
But who knows, after this night, Li Yan's tenderness shrouded from all directions, and the decision made by Qing Huan soon began to falter.
It was June, and Qing Huan thought that he had settled down, so he planned to write a letter to Han Shuang.
Frost:
See that the letter is good.
I arrived at my destination at the end of last year. Although it is remote, it is fortunate that the people are kind and the scenery is beautiful, which can not help but make people have some fun in the suffering.
By my reckoning, you may have already given birth when you received the letter. To cultivate well, don't be too tired.
I hope for an early letter.
Meng Qinghuan
After reading the letter to Li Yan and making sure that there was no sensitive information, Qing Huan felt that he would go to the town to send the letter.
Li Yan didn't worry about her alone and wanted to be with her.
Qing Huan was afraid that the two would be too embarrassed on the road, so he said to him, "I'll go with Agu." Or Agu also wants to buy something. ”
In view of Ah Gu's careful wit, Li Yan nodded in agreement: "Okay." Then you go early and come back early. ”
The next day, Qinghuan got up early and went to the town with Agu. June has just started summer, and the weather is still very pleasant. Along the way, the trees are lush and lush, the crisp birdsong echoes in the valley, and sometimes a small stream is passed, the water of the stream is clear, and the entrance is sweet.
The weather was nice and relaxing. Qing Huan intends to tell Ah Gu about the recent changes that Li Yan has made to her.
"Agu, what about him this time?" In the end, Qing Huan wanted to ask Agu's opinion.
"I used to say that Childe has feelings for his wife. Even if it wasn't, seeing that Madame had paid so much for him, it was a stone that melted. ”
No matter how much others say, as long as you can't convince yourself, it's useless. The same is true for Qinghuan. She understood the truth, but when she thought of Chu Yi, she had to be on guard.
There is no reason to say that Li Yan is good to her. What can Li Yan learn from Qing Huan? She, like Li Yan, has nothing now, except for the few people around her.
She knows better than anyone else that the obstacles in her heart always have to be overcome by herself to be useful.
After arriving in town to send the letter, the two found a tavern to have a casual meal. As the saying goes: On a June day, a child's face changes when it is said.
The two were eating, and the originally clear sky was already dark, and the dark clouds were crowded together, as if they were going to squeeze out all the water and splash it on the ground.
The journey back was too far, and Qing Huan didn't know what to do when she saw this scene.
"Ma'am, why don't we wait until the rain stops and then go back?" Ah Gu saw that Qinghuan was a little hesitant and put forward his own opinion.
Qing Huan looked up at the sky, the dark clouds were pressed as if they were going to pounce, which made people feel depressed and a little scared, anyway, the afternoon was still long, and it was too late to return when the rain stopped. So he agreed to Agu's plan.
The two waited in the store, and after a while, the raindrops the size of beans fell and smashed on the ground into rain flowers one after another. Pedestrians who didn't have time to take shelter from the rain were running around, trying to find a corner of the eaves to take shelter.
The small shop where they were located was also crowded in with a lot of pedestrians for a while. The shopkeeper stood with them, gossiping about the impact of the rain on the crops.
"The wheat seedlings I just planted yesterday don't seem to be able to be saved." One of them smoked a cigarette pouch and said in a cooing voice.
"Don't say it, I'll go back and have a look when the rain stops in a while."
"It's useless to look at it, just wait for it to be replanted."
Qing Huan listened quietly on the side, thinking of the crops in his field, and he didn't know what the situation was now.
"Ah Gu, will our crops be affected?"
"It's also possible. But maybe the sons and they just saw the change in the sky, and they have already taken protective measures. ”
In Qing Huan's imagination, Li Yan saw that the sky had changed, so he and Yuan Chao rushed to the ground, panicking to try to protect the scene they encountered. I laughed out loud just thinking about it.
"Madame, what are you laughing at?"
"I'm thinking, he used to be a noble prince, and now he has to crawl in the dirt, I don't know what kind of embarrassment he looks like."
Agu thought about it and laughed along. How it was in the past, and how it is today, it is still embarrassing to think about.
The two ordered another pot of tea and sat in the tavern drinking tea to pass the time. From time to time, I watched the rain and hoped that it would stop soon.
The first ** rain passed quickly. But the drizzling rain has not stopped, and they have thought that the weather will change, and it will usually come and go quickly. However, after the rainstorm, the clouds did not disperse. It's just a bright light in the middle of the sky.
Those who know how to look at it can immediately understand that there will be a bigger rainstorm next, and I am afraid that it will not stop for a while.
Many people who were sheltering from the rain began to rush home when the rain was light. And Qinghuan them, because of the long distance, have no choice.
"What to do?" Qing Huan saw that Ah Gu also had an anxious look on his face, and he had no idea in his heart, so he couldn't help but ask.
"I can't go back at this time, and it's raining so hard that it's not necessarily safe on the road. I think we'll spend the night in town tonight. Agu thought for a while and came up with what he thought was the most appropriate plan.
