Chapter 314: The boy in black
In a sedan chair in a hidden corner next to the entrance of Huichun Street, Shui Ning's face was full of anxiety, and he kept lifting the sedan curtain to look out: "Lu'er, haven't you seen Shopkeeper Xia today?" ”
The girl named Lu'er who was questioned often went to Sweet Island to help Shui Ning run errands, so she still remembered Xia Yan's appearance.
At this time, she had been standing at the entrance of Huichun Street for four whole days, and she was caught by Shui Ning every day when it was dawn, and she could not go back until no one entered or left Huichun Street, and she was a little unbearable for a few days.
Her face was haggard, and she sighed: "Girl, I have been staring at the street entrance, I don't even dare to blink, I really haven't seen Shopkeeper Xia go in and out." ”
"What can I do, today is the deadline, if I ......" Shui Ning kept wringing the handkerchief in his hand, muttering to himself.
"Girl, why are you in such a hurry?" Lu'er was puzzled, I don't know why her girl was suddenly in a hurry to see Shopkeeper Xia, but she refused to come to visit, and only dragged herself to guard here.
Although she was curious about the reason why Shui Ning was in a hurry, Lu'er also knew that there were some things that she could not inquire about, so she continued: "Since you are so anxious to see Shopkeeper Xia, why don't you come to visit directly?" Even if she's not there, we can drag someone to bring a message, and when she comes back, someone will naturally notify us, so why are we waiting here? ”
"No way!" Shui Ning refused, "We want to find the shopkeeper Xia, and we must not let others know!" ”
Shui Ning's words suddenly became excited, making Lu'er stunned: "But ......"
"Lu'er, do you think that with my identity, Shopkeeper Xia will agree to see me?" Shui Ning forced himself to calm down, and his voice softened a lot.
Lu'er wanted to reply, "Why won't you agree", but the words came to her lips and swallowed back.
What my own girl said is right, even if the shopkeeper Xia is young, she is still a girl, and she is from a big family, how can she want to have a relationship with the women in the green building?
Although her own girl is a Qing official, she looks more like a young lady from a big family, but since she followed the girl, she has never seen a woman outside the Qinglou willing to befriend her. Not only is she far away from her own young lady, for fear of tarnishing her reputation, but even more, because her husband was hooked by the girl, she can't wait to skin her and eat meat, how can she have the intention of making friends?
The women in the green building have no status at all, and they can still rely on their talent and appearance in front of men, but for those women......
After thinking about it, Lu'er really couldn't think of any reason for Xia Yan to agree with her own young lady.
In desperation, she could only keep her eyes wide and continue to guard, and she had to look at every woman she passed by, for fear of losing her eyes.
In this way, from early morning to evening, seeing that there were fewer and fewer people coming in and out of Huichun Street, Shui Ning no longer had the patience to wait, and jumped off the sedan chair and ran directly towards Huichun Street.
"Oops!" In a hurry, Shui Ning, who had just stepped into the area of Huichun Street, bumped into a person head-on, and was directly knocked to the ground by surprise.
Severe pain came from her feet, and before Shui Ning could calm down, she saw a thin white hand stretched out in front of her, and a soft voice followed: "Sister, are you okay?" ”
Shui Ning looked up and saw a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy looking at him with a worried face.
The young man's skin is snow-white, his pupils are smart, and he has a bun face that has not yet grown, and he only thinks he is clever and cute. He was dressed in an inky satin robe with silver trim exposed, and his jet-black hair was neatly tied up behind his head, revealing an indescribable ability.
Shui Ning suddenly had a good impression of this young man, and even the pain in his feet seemed to be reduced a lot, and he smiled slightly: "I'm fine." ”
"It's okay." The young man breathed a sigh of relief, "It's all my fault, I just didn't pay attention to the people in front of me when I was thinking about things, so I knocked you down, sister." If something happens to you, I'm really sorry for it. ”
"It doesn't matter." Even if he knew that the young man was the one who knocked him down, Shui Ning was not angry at all, "It's also my fault, I just rushed to the road and didn't pay attention to what was in front of me." ”
"Then let's settle this even?" The young man smiled brightly and stretched out his hand again, "Sister, I'll help you up." ”
Shui Ning smiled back, stretched out her hand, and wanted to stand up with the help of the young man, but as soon as she got together, there was a sharp pain in her ankle, and she stumbled and fell to the side again.
Fortunately, the young man next to her caught her quickly, causing her to fall on his shoulder, avoiding the fate of falling to the ground again.
"Sister, your foot hurts?" The young man asked, with guilt in his eyes.
"It's okay, it's not bad." Shui Ning endured the severe pain and straightened up, pretending to be indifferent on her face, "Just go back and rest for a while." ”
"Sister, can I take a look?" Looking at the fine beads of sweat on Shui Ning's forehead, the young man didn't believe what she said at all, "Foot injuries can't be delayed." ”
"This ...... In public, something is wrong. Shui Ning paused for a moment, his face embarrassed, "What's more, I still have important things to do, so I won't trouble the little boy." ”
The young man suddenly remembered something, smiled awkwardly, and said, "Sister, I was so abrupt that I forgot that a woman's feet can't be seen by outsiders casually." ”
"You're still young, so why not show it to you?" Shui Ning sneered.
"Sister, my shop is nearby, since you don't mind, why don't you go there and rest for a while, so I can heal you." The young man smiled, "Save yourself from being looked down upon by others and tarnish my sister's reputation." ”
"Little boy, I appreciate your kindness, but I really have something urgent, and I really don't dare to delay it any longer. Besides, you're not as tall as me, how much can you be injured if you hit you? ”
After speaking, Shui Ning bowed slightly and said, "Little boy, let's say goodbye." ”
Shui Ning wanted to leave, but the young man didn't stop him, and immediately turned his body sideways and let her leave.
Before he could take two steps, Shui Ning couldn't hold back the severe pain anymore, gritted his teeth and squatted, and finally sat directly on the ground.
Either the pain was unbearable, or she knew that the deadline was approaching, and she could not finish the task, and after a moment of froze, she actually sobbed softly.
"Sister, you better come with me, you see, you're crying." The young man hurriedly walked over to Shui Ning and squatted down, "With your current situation, even if there is a big thing, you can't do it." ”
Shui Ning just sobbed softly, and did not give the boy an answer, in desperation, the young man could only hug her sideways and said, "Sister, I am offended." ”
When Shui Ning came back to his senses, he had been in the boy's arms for a long time. She was a little surprised, she couldn't figure out where this little boy had the strength to pick himself up. You know, she is by no means the kind of light and delicate woman, this young man has not yet grown up, and he is ......
Being held in the arms of the young man, Shui Ning did not have a trace of embarrassment and embarrassment, and never thought of resisting. On the contrary, she felt a strong sense of security, and her heartbeat couldn't help but speed up a lot. Since she was a child, she seems to have never had such a reassuring moment, and she really can't wait to stay in the arms of the teenager like this.
Shui Ning didn't know that at this time, her cheeks were already crimson, and her whole body was also shrunk in the young man's arms.
The young man was in a hurry and didn't notice these at all, but Lu'er, who came later, was dumbfounded by this scene.
My own girl, my own girl was actually held in the arms of a man!
It's just a matter of being held, but what's the matter with this little bird with a shy look?
You must know that Miss Shui Ning has become the top brand since she entered the Drunken Red Mansion, and even the top card of all the green buildings in Qin County. Every day, countless men bow down under her pomegranate skirt, and many of them are noble. But no matter who it was, Miss Shui Ning had never even let anyone touch her hair, let alone throw her arms into her arms.
I have been by her side since the day the girl came to the drunken Red Mansion, and I have never seen her look like a little daughter, which is really a miracle!
Although Lu'er felt that it was really inappropriate for Shui Ning to be held on the street, but first, the sun had already set, and there were few people walking around on the street this time, and secondly, Shui Ning did not resist, and the girl looked willing, and even a little intoxicated.
Lu'er didn't have the courage to disturb Shui Ning, so she could only follow the two from a distance, and before she knew it, she was in front of the door of Sweet Island.
Seeing the young man walking through the door with Shui Ning in his arms, Lu'er stood outside the door, looking up at the plaque, hesitating and not daring to go in.
When he hesitated, he heard a voice from inside Sweet Island: "Girl standing outside the door, please come in." ”
Hearing the call, Lu'er didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly ran in.
As soon as she entered the door, a guy from Sweet Island showed her the way and motioned her to go inside.
Following the guidance, Lu'er entered the backyard and saw an open door, and in the entire courtyard, only that room had light.
As soon as Lu'er walked into the room, she saw the young man standing up from a half-squatting position, and said to Shui Ning with a smile: "Sister, the misplaced bones have been restored, you just need to rest for a few days." Remember, don't walk around these days. ”
"Thank you, little boy." Shui Ning lowered her head, although she couldn't see the expression on her face clearly, but the red ears revealed how shy she was at this time.
"Sister, it's a bit too serious to say thank you." The young man smiled, "It was because of me that my sister was injured, and I said sorry that it was too late, how dare you say thank you." ”
The boy's laughter made Shui Ning's ears redden, and even the exposed ankles forgot to cover them.
When Shui Ning lost her mind, Lu'er stepped forward quickly, covered Shui Ning's bare feet, and reminded in a low voice: "Girl, don't forget your business." ”
Shui Ning came back to her senses and said busily: "Little boy, you are really rejuvenated, my ankle doesn't hurt anymore." I still have important things to do today, so I will leave first, and I will come to thank my son in the future. ”
"Sister, I said, you have to rest for a few days, and you can't move." The boy said with a frown.
"But ......"
"Sister, are you here to run errands on Huichun Street?"
The young man's voice seemed to have a magical energy, which made Shui Ning's mind relax, and he couldn't help but tell the truth about his purpose: "Little boy, don't hide it, I'm here to find someone." ”
