Chapter 236: The Little Widow Who Was Cut Off (11)
An Xuning took a few more steps to her, leaned against the loess wall, pursed her lips and pulled out a stiff smile: "I heard that you are going to the south to look for relatives in a while?" ”
Ran Jia looked at the hot sun, the man in front of her had a long talk posture for the first time, she frowned slightly, nodded lightly, and her voice blew softly into his ears like the wind: "Yes, I was separated from my family before, and my uncle-in-law asked the dart to go around, this has just been news, I want to go and see them." ”
"Can you pay it back?" He pretended to ask casually, but the hand behind him was tightly gripping the green tendons.
"Not necessarily, it depends," Ran Jia didn't want to continue the topic, nor did she want to have any more contact with him, otherwise the sun in the middle of the sky and the hot blood gushing out of her atrium would burn her cheeks. "Ann, Brother Ann is not feeling well? Why don't you hurry into the house and rest? ”
An Xuning tightened his jaw, he glanced at the few little radish heads hiding behind Ran Jia curiously, and said in a deep voice: "Okay," as he said that, he got up from the wall, and his body shook tightly as soon as he lifted his feet, and he leaned against the wall again.
"What's wrong with you?" Ran Jia asked with some concern.
"I'm in a hurry, I'm in a bit of a heat stroke, it's out of the way," he said, closing his eyes slightly, his voice unsettling.
Ran Jia hurriedly put down the basket, poured a large bowl of warm mung bean soup from it, held it in both hands and handed it over, "Mung bean soup to cool off, you drink some." ”
An Xuning opened his eyes, he looked at her so closely for the first time, the heat wave air was dyed with the fragrance of her body, her eyelashes were extremely long because the sun was too poisonous, her slightly narrowed eyes were covered with black dense one by one, her eyebrows were picturesque, her skin was smooth and tender like jade, her lips were not dotted and Zhu, and her willow eyebrows were not painted but daisy all the words he could think of to describe the beauty of a woman seemed to be made with her, but the result was only her shape, but she could not outline the essence of her beauty.
There were beads of sweat on her nose, and she saw that his Adam's apple was rolling three times in a row, and his breath was unstable because of physical discomfort, he didn't take the bowl, and directly leaned over and drank it in a big gulp, gurgling, and the warm and sweet mung bean soup brushed away a little dry and hot.
Ran Jia waited for him to finish drinking, and immediately took a big step back with the bowl in his hand, lowered his head and squatted down to pack up the basket, "Brother An hurry up and go home and lie down and sleep for a while, it will be much more comfortable." ”
Saying that, she pulled a few little beans and left in a hurry without waiting for him to answer.
An Xuning had a self-deprecating smile on his face, although he didn't feel that he was more capable than others, but he did have a lot of women who didn't care about the world since he was a child, and wanted to promise him a personal promise. He had seen more of the viciousness of women, but he was not sensitive to them, and he came to this village purely by chance, but he was too lazy to move his nest, and he lived there for several years.
He thought he would stay up for the rest of his days in such a lonely way, or get tired of finding a nest and continue to consume it.
But this little woman gave him a very different feeling, he couldn't say it, obviously he had a slight impression of him, at least it was a little different from ordinary people, but he refused his help. A man who has been tapped as a diner may be really loyal to his stomach and have a heart for the little woman.
When he came back every day at noon, he habitually sniffed the fragrance next door, nibbled on the beef and baked cakes he bought from the town, or steamed buns, and some fried crispy peanuts and cold vegetables, and listened to her soft voice and tell stories to the children.
Her hazy appearance was gradually vividly portrayed in his mind by these stories, voices, and tastes, full and round, and he could fully embrace her only by lifting the thin veil.
It's close, but she doesn't even give him the distance to the end of the world.
When he heard the news that she was leaving, he suddenly panicked, and there was no place for him to spend the afternoon and most of the night, and his house and yard were only deserted and lonely.
At such a close distance just now, his desire was heavier, and for the first time he was so desperate for a woman, and in the nights, he was reckless in his dreams again and again, but when he opened his eyes, his heart was even more empty.
He took a deep breath, stood up straight from the wall with steady steps, a smile on his lips, and strode towards his own courtyard.
Ran Jia panicked, for fear that she would collapse if she came a few more times. She told Meng Qigu that she had encountered some problems when she was embroidering the wedding dress, so she had to think about it carefully, and asked a few children to send meals to the field for her.
The summer harvest has already been carried out for most of the time, and if it weren't for the fear that the rain would ruin the year's harvest, the women would actually be able to rest at home. Meng Qigu is tired enough these days, and directly said that she was resting to bring food to her family, so that Ran Jia could concentrate on her work.
I don't know from which baby Meng Qigu learned about An Xuning's heat stroke, think about it, that person is quite pitiful, a while ago, he also helped his uncle, who was a master in Fucheng, to solve a big case, and arrested the villain who had been at large for a long time. The prefect got a good face from his boss, so he happily promised that after a hundred years of his uncle, his son would continue to be the master.
This is almost the most important official of the two families who can speak in front of the official, and it cannot be discarded, because the village chief's family and the Qian family remember An Xuning. Due to Ran Jia's reputation, Meng Qigu couldn't walk with An Xuning seriously, so she expressed her gratitude through a wall.
Meng Qigu didn't hide it from Ran Jia, and said with a smile: "An Orion is a capable one, he said that the prey on the mountain was almost beaten by him, and he didn't have much money, so he wanted to save some money for his wife and children while he was young." It just so happened that your uncle's side was short of a bodyguard, so he passed. ”
Ran Jia listened to the slender embroidery needle and pierced her finger, she frowned, put her finger in front of her lip and gently agreed. "The bodyguard is very hard, and it's not safe to escort the darts back and forth." The plot doesn't say that the male protagonist temporarily changed careers, could it be that this paragraph was covered up by the fact that the female protagonist made a fortune?
Meng Qigu listened and asked cautiously, "Ni'er, you won't be worried about him, will you?" He doesn't have a bad character, and if we exclude a person without getting to know him well, isn't it too unfair to him to you? ”
"Mother, I'm just talking about things, the dart master is very hard and dangerous, although the money is high, but it is all with his life. Do you see which one of them is not because there is a big family waiting for dinner, and the man is in this business out of desperation? He's my neighbor and has helped me a lot, so I'm naturally a little worried.
No, not in the way you think. Besides, I still have to go to see my sister-in-law and nephew, and it's not certain that I won't be able to come back, so where would I think about such a thing? ”
Ran Jia lowered her head slightly and continued to embroider the wedding dress as she pretended not to care.
"Girl with no conscience, hearing you say this, my mother regrets not paying attention to your affairs, and always wants to find a good one, but the time has been delayed again and again, but it can't hold you back." Meng Qigu's eyes turned red again as she spoke, "Mother just said it, and felt more comfortable." You, just follow your own ideas, no matter what, my mother will support you.
But our family can't be broken, you have time to come to see your mother, otherwise your mother will have time to see you. ”
"Well, mother, don't worry," Ran Jia didn't dare to make too many promises, so she could only respond.
Her heart was a little confused, and she gritted her teeth and calmed down to embroider the wedding dress little by little. She really has to put a lot of effort into it, using a full pair of dark embroidery, so that the whole wedding dress is very different in the sun and at night, and the decorations on the clothes are also exquisite and chic, and every detail has taken a lot of her thoughts.
Two months is not a lot of time, and she only finished it on the last day, for fear of delaying the handover, so she took a carriage directly with a group of food prepared by Meng Qigu, and under the escort of the village chief and several villagers with good relations, she embarked on the road to the south.
Ran Jia first went to Fucheng to hand over the wedding dress, with many tall dart masters to protect her, no one dared to play tricks, she successfully won the reward of 5,000 taels with her exclusive embroidery method, and set off directly to continue to the south without stopping.
Her carriage was also carefully organized by Meng Qigu, not to mention the horse's gentle temperament and steady experience in pulling the carriage, but the space in the car was large, the table in the middle could be pressed down and the seat flush into a bed, and the bedding was also prepared layer after layer to ensure that she could sleep comfortably.
The space under the table can hold things, melon seeds, peanuts, snacks, candies, as well as scripts, excerpts, etc., eating, drinking and having fun, enough for her to spend half a month.
In the evening, they arrived at a small town, the sun was slanting in the west on a hot day, and the air was still flowing with the power of the autumn tiger, Ran Jia put on a hat and scarf, and only when the car was stable did she lift the curtain and face a cold and familiar face.
Her hand holding the curtain trembled slightly, and her voice was ethereal: "An, why are you here, Brother An?" ”
"It's a long way from here to Nan'an, and I don't worry about you," he said, stretching out his arm, motioning for her to grab it, and taking her out of the car by himself.
Ran Jia pursed her lips to avoid it, carrying the skirt that was in the way in one hand, supporting the car board with the other, and jumping down lightly from the other side.
An Xuning's dark eyes still didn't have much emotion, he calmly withdrew his arms, and together with the others, he pulled the carts carrying goods to the backyard of the inn, and poured water and grass for the horses.
Ran Jia asked for some hot water and food, plugged in the doors and windows, wiped her body briefly, removed the sweat of the day, and then ate steamed buns and drank some water without much appetite. She slept a lot on the road, and the indescribable fright just now was still mixed with joy, and she didn't feel sleepy at all.
Outside, the summer insects hissed lonely, occasionally accompanied by the cries of frogs.
She sat by the window in her middle coat with her hair scattered, looking out through the gap the size of her fingers, the bright moonlight illuminated the courtyard of the inn brightly, it was already a little late, everyone dispersed in the shade and went back to the house, leaving only a touch of upright and normal punching.
