CHAPTER XLIII

Towards evening, Smiling Face and Fighting Tiger appeared in front of Ning Yue again. Seeing that Ning Yue had woven a beautiful wreath with the flowers on the grass, Xiaoyan suddenly forgot her guilt and ran towards her happily with a bamboo basket full of freshly picked medicinal herbs. Ning Yue was overjoyed when she saw her return with a full load, and she couldn't help but be happy with her. Ning Yue smiled and put the garland on Xiaoyan's head, helped her straighten the green silk again, and then nodded with satisfaction.

"Sister Yue'er, do I look good wearing it?" A smile looked at Ning Yue expectantly, hoping to get her appreciation.

"Sister Xiaoyan looks so smart, she looks good in anything, do you say yes?" Ning Yue saw that Douhu who was standing on the side could see it, and couldn't help but tease him.

“…… Of course! Dou Hu hurriedly replied.

"His praise is not uncommon to me! Sister Yue'er, it's getting dark, we have to hurry down the mountain, otherwise grandpa and brother-in-law will talk again. Xiaoyan snorted at Douhu, and then pulled Ning Yue away.

Although it was laborious to go up the mountain, it was not difficult to walk, but now down the mountain, the dense foliage tightly obscured the light of the setting sun, and the three of them could only rely on the faint light to follow the path they had come. The mountain road is uneven, and if you are not careful, you will trip and fall to the ground. Ning Yue wanted to help Xiaoyan carry the bamboo basket that seemed to be quite weighty down the mountain, but she was walking alone on the way down the mountain, and she accidentally fell down several times, and her brand-new clothes were covered with mud, and she was also hooked by branches in a few places, which made her feel sorry, so it was not good to be strong again. Although the road down the mountain was familiar to Xiaoyan, the weight made it impossible for her to move as freely as usual, and she was also bumpy along the way. As for the fighting tiger who carries heavy weapons with him, because of his high martial arts, he walks on such a road, and he is like walking on the ground. He offered several times to let her hand over the bamboo basket to him to carry, but Xiaoyan flatly refused each time. Unable to resist her, Douhu had to follow closely behind her, secretly lifting the bamboo basket slightly, so that it would not all be pressed on Xiaoyan's delicate shoulders, and whenever she was unsteady, she stepped forward to help, so that Xiaoyan would not fall to the ground like Ning Yue.

When I got to the bottom of the mountain, it was already smoke, and it was time for dinner.

Ning Yue saw that the road ahead was smooth, so he retracted his mind and began to tell Xiaoyan and Douhu what he had seen and heard today.

"It is disgusting that there should be such a tyrannical man! I'm going to meet him for a while! Xiaoyan was very annoyed when he heard this, and glared at Douhu fiercely and reprimanded.

“…… I...... I don't know anything, don't ...... Don't blame me! Dou Hu hurriedly shook his head and shook his hand, then turned to Ning Yue and said, "Listening to Miss Ning's description, that person must be a war dragon!" ”

“…… War Dragon? Ning Yue saw that Douhu was no different from an ordinary person when he spoke to him, and suddenly remembered what Han Fei said, and felt funny in his heart.

"He's my good brother, the big boss of the cottage. Miss Ning should not be deceived by his handsome appearance, his temper is very strange, and for some reason he is extremely unkind to see women, so he smiles...... You...... Don't you ...... Don't provoke him! Douhu glanced at the smile and saw that she was unmoved, so he hurriedly said, "But...... Smiling at you...... You don't need to worry, if so...... If he dares to bully you, I'll ...... I'm here to protect you...... Get out for you! ”

After hearing this, Xiaoyan glanced at him, and replied angrily: "No matter what, my brother-in-law will take care of me, how can I use you!" ”

After Ning Yue cast a sympathetic look at Dou Hu, he secretly decided in his heart that if he saw that person again in the future, he would definitely stay away, after all, as Dou Hu said, it is better to provoke less people in the cottage.

Not long after entering the village, they saw from a distance that Han Fei, who was frowning, was already standing in front of the wooden fence waiting for them.

Xiaoyan saw that he was angry, so he had to pretend to be relaxed, jumped up and walked up to him, and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, we are back, we are very tired from going up the mountain, Sister Yue'er and I are hungry, have you made us anything delicious?" ”

Han Fei saw that Douhu was still following behind, so he said coldly: "In front of outsiders, I will save you some face for the time being, and go back to the house to freshen up!" ”

Seeing that she didn't dare to make a mistake, she walked into the house quickly, Ning Yue also felt ashamed, greeted Han Fei with a wry smile, and then entered the house with her.

"The second master is easy to go, and I will not send each other." Han Fei squinted at Douhu, then pushed the gate of the wooden fence and locked Douhu outside.

"Brother Han stays!" Seeing that there was no one around, Dou Hu took a few steps closer to Han Fei and said in a low voice.

Han Fei stopped when he heard the sound, turned to look at Douhu, and saw that his eyes were serious, so he replied, "What else is the matter with the second master?" ”

"Today, Miss Ning met the war dragon on the mountain, presumably he already knows about you taking Miss Ning here, if you have time, go up the mountain to report this matter to him, so as not to hurt the harmony in the future." Dou Hu looked at Han Fei worriedly and said.

"Although Qingfeng Village is the territory of Qingfeng Cottage, everything should be reported to the big boss, but the second boss should not forget who Han is doing. Please ask the second boss to bring a message to the big boss for Han, Miss Ning's matter, forgive Han has nothing to say, if the big boss insists on pursuing it, then ask him to go to the master and ask! After speaking, Han Fei walked into the house without looking back, leaving the dilemma Douhu alone and sighing outside. One is a good brother, the other is an uncle, if there is a dispute, what should I do......

A few days later, one day Ning Yue saw that the winter was warm, so she took the embroidery tools that Han Fei had given her to the front yard, sat on a small stool, and worked in the bright sunshine. The smiling face who had fed the pigeons wandered around the house because of Han Fei's grounding, and when she walked to the front yard and saw Ning Yue doing embroidery, she quietly sat next to her and watched carefully with interest. Ning Yue saw that it was rare for her to be so quiet, and she had the intention to teach her her skills, but she shook her head with a smile and refused politely.

"In the past, my sister also taught me to be popular, but unfortunately I am stupid, no matter how my sister teaches by word and deed, but I can't learn anything, with this lesson from the past, Sister Yue'er, you don't have to bother with me." Xiaoyan smiled helplessly, and then continued: "It's just that I love to watch other people's embroidery, dancing on the plain cloth with a needle and thread, and after a while, various patterns will be born, which is very interesting. If Sister Yue'er doesn't give up, let me watch from your side! ”

"I couldn't be happier to have my sister smile by my side." Ning Yue looked at the smile beside her who was holding her chin with both hands and looking at her embroidery with all her attention, and couldn't help but fall into memories, once upon a time, there were people beside her who watched her embroidery quietly, one was An Ruiqi, who was haunted by her dreams, and the other was her blood sister Ning Xue...... Although Ning Yue and Ning Xue are from the same lineage, their experiences are different. Even though Ning Xue never regarded Ning Yue as a sister, and made things difficult for her from time to time, Ning Yue couldn't hold a grudge against her no matter what, but now, she often remembered her friendship when she was desperate to visit her when she was in trouble. Flesh and blood are close relatives, but it is really a parting...... The second lady has been pampered since she was a child, but she has to endure all kinds of twists and turns recently, but I don't know if she is okay now...... Ning Yue looked at the plain white silk in his hand and sighed.

Xiaoyan was very puzzled when she saw that Ning Yue was holding a needle in her hand but didn't move her hand, and was about to ask, but was interrupted by a call outside the door.

"Xiao Yue! I haven't seen you for many days, don't come unharmed? I saw Ning Feng standing outside the wooden fence with a smile on his face, and under the sunlight, he looked very tranquil and elegant in a pale gown.

Ning Yue was pleasantly surprised when she saw that it was Ning Feng, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet her.

The smiling faces on the side were not as curious as usual to ask who was coming, but at this time they were still sitting motionless on the low stool, looking at the uninvited guest attentively.
