Xiao Ling'er has not been so crazy for a long time, she didn't expect that she could still play so crazy because of a firework, dancing with a group of children for so long, she didn't even know when Zhou Shen hadn't seen her.

I only felt a little tired, and just wanted to sit next to me for a while, but Changsheng came to her side with a spare time, "Sister Ling'er, Brother Xiaoshen is looking for you something!" ”

"Brother Zhou, what about others?" Xiao Ling'er then remembered that she hadn't seen Zhou Shen for a while, and she didn't look at him when she looked left and right, "Wasn't he still here just now?" ”

"I don't know when I left." Changsheng scratched his head, "He asked an aunt to come and tell me that he was looking for you to have something to do alone, and she was waiting for you in the old temple outside the village." ”

"Old temple?" Xiao Ling'er frowned, is there anything particularly important to tell her? Why can't I say it just now, but I have to run to a place so far away from the old temple outside the village.

However, she didn't ask much, but nodded, thinking that just now, Zhou Shen was by her side, as if she really wanted to tell her, and she looked like she wanted to say something. I guess I think it's too busy here, and I want to find a quieter place.

Thinking about it, she instructed Hao Changsheng to take care of these fireworks, and walked in the direction of the outside of the village.

She didn't tell anyone about leaving, but Xiaoqin didn't know what happened tonight, she always felt a little uneasy in her heart, although that person always told her that she was wrong, but she just felt that she was really similar to her sister-in-law. If she is not mistaken, if the sister-in-law comes to Anding Village at this time, there will definitely be nothing good.

As soon as Changsheng returned to her side, Xiaoqin opened her mouth, "Brother Changsheng, what did you just tell your sister, where is your sister going?" ”

Changsheng didn't think there was anything in it, so he naturally didn't hide it, but said truthfully, "It's Brother Xiao Shen who asked Sister Ling'er to have something to say in private, so he asked my sister to go to the old temple outside the village to talk about things, my sister is going to find Brother Xiao Shen, there is nothing else, we should come back together in a while." ”

"At this time? Aren't they all here just now? ”

"Ouch, what's wrong with you today? Always thinking about it. Changsheng patted Xiaoqin's head lightly, "It's Brother Xiaoshen looking for Sister Ling'er, and it's not someone else, there will be nothing wrong, you, just play here with peace of mind, and when Sister and they come back, just ask." ”

"Okay." Changsheng said this, Xiaoqin didn't want to ask any further, so she had to answer obediently, but she still couldn't control herself and looked in the direction that Xiao Ling'er left, really, did she think too much?

Xiao Ling'er walked out of Anding Village and walked in the direction of the old temple, the fireworks she made were almost finished, although she could still vaguely hear the lively laughter, but the light of the fireworks was no longer visible, only the flames of the bonfire were still fluttering in the air.

The road became darker and darker, but fortunately, the moon was still bright, and she could illuminate the road for her a little, and she saw the old temple in front of her.

This old temple is not too far from Anding Village, it is a necessary road from the village to the county seat, and when she went to the county seat before, she also rested here, which is familiar. It's just that they usually sit at the door and rarely go in.

The old temple has been here for some years, and some people went there at first, but when they arrived, there were no more people who guarded the temple, so they were abandoned here, and became a place to rest. Just from the outside, you can see the broken courtyard walls, there are cobwebs on the doors, and the grass in the courtyard is also sparse, which looks a little depressed.

It was a little dark in the temple, and I could only see that there was still a little candlelight inside, Xiao Ling'er took a few steps closer and called, "Brother Zhou." ”

"Ling'er, are you here?"

Hearing Zhou Shen's voice, Xiao Ling'er's frightened mood eased a little. She answered and walked into the back room, where Zhou Shen was waiting for her.

"It's been a long time."

"No, I've only been here for a while." Zhou Shen shook his head and welcomed her in.

It was too cold and windy outside, but it was a little warmer when I entered the house.

Xiao Ling'er was also a little tired after walking for a while, so she found a place to sit down.

She didn't know what Zhou Shen was looking for her to do, but she didn't ask, but Zhou Shen didn't speak, so he pursed the corners of his lips and sat next to her.

There were some candles lit in the old temple, and it was dim and just enough to illuminate the two of them, Xiao Ling'er looked at him sideways, but to be honest, he didn't have much chance to take a good look at Zhou Shen, and now if he looks closely, he doesn't know if it's candlelight, in fact, Zhou Shen's facial features are indeed very upright, and his wheat-colored skin adds a bit of heroism.

She looked at him like this, and Zhou Shen's gaze happened to hit her eyes.

Originally, there were some words, but Zhou Shen swallowed them once, and he didn't plan to say them a second time.

But this dim candlelight seems to make people's hearts soften, and it is difficult to erect such a strong shield. He only relaxed slightly, and the words in his heart came out, "Ling'er, you are so fragrant today." ”

"How fragrant?" Xiao Ling'er raised her arm and sniffed herself, "I don't have a smell on my body, but what you say seems to be quite fragrant." ”

She also sniffed carefully, there seemed to be a fragrance in the air, but it was not like the sandalwood fragrance in the temple, and she couldn't smell what it was, but it smelled quite good, making people feel comfortable all over the body, with a faint sense of bewitchment.

Xiao Ling'er smiled secretly, I really don't know, how can there be such a fragrance in this old temple.

"It's not on me, it's in this temple, maybe it's the incense that someone put on it before."

"Really? But this place has been a place for a long time, and very few people have come. ”

"yes, how did you come up with this place?" Xiao Ling'er shrugged her shoulders and looked at Zhou Shen, Zhou Shen's brows furrowed slightly, she didn't understand the meaning of Xiao Ling'er's words, but she quickly relaxed and grinned, "It's also good, there are so many people in the village, it's a lot cleaner here, it's rare to sit and chat with you like this." ”

"It seems to be yes, I'm always busy, the last time we were together seemed to be when I went to the county seat, that was the first time you saw Sister Shishi."

"Uh-huh." Zhou Shen responded, "Did you think about the idea of fireworks last time you went?" ”

"Yes, I invited you and Sister Shishi to come to my house for the New Year, thinking that since it is so lively, it is better to be more lively, fortunately it did not fail, they both like it."

Xiao Ling'er smiled sweetly, seeing that the children liked what she made, sometimes it really made her feel more accomplished than making a lot of money.

It's just that she didn't know that her smile made Zhou Shen's heartstrings pull again, he tugged his fist, and the corners of his lips opened again, "I remember last time, you also said a sentence, you said, you don't want to be the concubine of Young Master Mei." ”

"Hmm." Xiao Ling'er also remembered this sentence, and her expression became a lot more serious, "This marriage was not originally voluntary to me, but there is no way." If I hadn't been the concubine of the Mei family, I would have been able to live a easier life now, but this was the only way to get me rid of the Xiao family at that time. ”

Xiao Ling'er said, and looked at Zhou Shen again, maybe the fragrance was really soothing, and some of the words that she rarely mentioned to outsiders also came out, "Brother Zhou, do you know?" In my year...... Well, in my opinion, men and women should be together for a lifetime, and two people will only get married if they love each other, not because of the world or because of those rules, let alone polygamy. I don't want to share my husband with other women. Although this sounds a bit unreasonable, but my true thoughts, so the identity of the concubine, even if it is a big Mei family, I would indeed rather not. ”

"I think that's a good idea." Zhou Shen listened to Xiao Ling'er's words, and the smile on his face became more and more flattering, "I don't like to settle either, two people like to support each other for a lifetime, just like my father and my mother, what a beautiful thing it should be." It's just that my poor father left early, and my mother's illness is overthinking, which is getting more and more serious. ”

As he spoke, his fingers moved slightly, rubbing against Xiao Ling'er on the side, and the warm feeling seemed to spread from his palm all the way to his heart, which gave him a lot of courage.

Zhou Shen turned around and looked at Xiao Ling'er carefully.

That's it, if you really don't dare to say some things, maybe you won't have a chance next time. Since Ling Er also said that he wanted to break away from the Mei family, then as long as he waited, there was hope.

"Ling'er, I'm ......"

"Brother Zhou."

It's just that Zhou Shen still didn't expect that before his words could be completely spoken, Xiao Ling'er suddenly interrupted him.

In fact, she didn't know why, but she looked at Zhou Shen's eyes, and suddenly seemed to feel that there were more emotions in them that made her uneasy.

At that time, in Mu Shishi's pharmacy, the words that Sister Shishi said to her also came out all of a sudden, she didn't know if she was wrong, she just had a feeling that Zhou Shen's next sentence came out, as if many things would change.

She interrupted him in such a hurry, coughed lightly, and hugged her hands to her chest, "By the way, Brother Zhou, you see us chatting like this, I almost forgot, did you come to me today for something?" I don't think it's too early, and it's been a long delay to turn back, I'm afraid that they will be worried about Changsheng. ”

"Me?" Zhou Shen was a little puzzled, "Didn't Ling Er you come to me tonight?" ”

"I'm looking for you?"

"That's right, my mother said that you asked someone else to tell me to come to this old temple and wait for you, I thought there should be something important, so I came over first."

"No, I was told by Changsheng that you had something to do with me."

"How so? I ......"

"Something is wrong, I'm afraid there is a problem." Xiao Ling'er has always been very vigilant, and immediately stood up, "No one will make a mistake about this kind of thing, and they will make a mistake on both sides at once, someone did it on purpose, what did they do when they brought us over like this?" ”
