CHAPTER 40
After the two returned to Smiling's room, they sat down on the edge of the bed. Ning Yue poured a cup of tea for Xiaoyan, but Xiaoyan shook her head and wiped the tears on her face with her sleeve.
"Sister Yue'er, don't laugh at me for crying in front of people and embarrassing people, just because that fighting tiger is a mountain of wild grass, and she doesn't know how to avoid the word "......" After speaking, the smile barely squeezed out a smile to Ning Yue.
Looking at the smile of the forced smile, Ning Yue seemed to see her former self, the pain she had suffered in the past, and suddenly came to her heart, her nose was sore, and her eyes were red, but she finally held back her tears, because she knew that once she let herself cry, she would be out of control, the sorrow of losing her mother, the grievances she suffered in the Ning Mansion, and her deep love for An Ruiqi was doomed to be fruitless, she was unjustly imprisoned, and she was robbed and killed...... All of these tortured her day and night, even if she kept telling herself that she was now alone and had to face it alone, but after all, she was only a weak woman of sixteen years, no matter how she pretended to be strong, she couldn't resist the ruthlessness of fate after all. In comparison, the smile that has been pampered since she was a child seems to be much more blessed than her, but only a person like Ning Yue, who has the same illness as her, can understand that if she loses her loved ones, even if she has more blessings, it will be in vain, and the most painful thing in her heart is the loss of her mother. For Xiaoyan's helplessness and self-deception, she felt the same way, and the passage of time did not erase that grief, but made Xiaoyan feel more and more that her sister's death was just a lie. Although it is not good for Smiling to let it go, no one wants to wake her up from her dreams, and they don't want her to wake up grief-stricken. However, Ning Yue is convinced that there will be such a person, he loves Xiaoyan deeply, and his love is no less than that given by Xiaoyan's sister, so that Xiaoyan's heart will return to peace, strong enough to open her heart and watch her sister's departure.
Ning Yue gently stroked the smiling face as if Ning Feng had comforted herself in the past, and accompanied her silently.
Xiaoyan couldn't bear Ning Yue's sadness for herself, so she changed her words and began to accuse Douhu: "Sister Yue'er, that Douhu is not only a reckless horseman, but also a scoundrel, I really hate myself for saving him in the first place." ”
Ning Yue looked at her puzzled, never imagined that such a delicate smile could save Kong Wu's powerful fighting tiger.
It turns out that Xiaoyan has a talent for medicine since she was a child, and when she lived in Jiangnan, she studied with a doctor in the county, and later moved here. A few years ago, she secretly went to Qingfeng Mountain once, and she found that there were a lot of good medicinal materials growing on the mountain, so from then on, she hid from Grandpa Yan and Han Fei to the mountain from time to time to collect medicine. About a year ago, Xiaoyan found a fighting tiger on the mountainside who was injured by a bear attack, seeing that his injuries were not light, but he could not help him down the mountain by himself, so after carefully bandaging him, Xiaoyan hurriedly ran down the mountain and asked Han Fei to go to the rescue, so that Han Fei knew that he had acted recklessly and recklessly for several years. After that, it was inevitable to experience Han Fei's reprimand, but what made Xiaoyan regret the most was that Douhu fell in love with her at first sight, not only often went down the mountain to visit Xiaoyan, and sent some cherished things to Grandpa Yan and Han Yue to win people's hearts, but also asked around when Xiaoyan went up the mountain to collect medicine, and when she went up the mountain, he followed closely and protected her. No matter how cold the smile was, how sneering Han Fei was, he was unmoved, as always.
"No matter how hard I wield, I couldn't get him away, I knew he was such a scoundrel, I should have let the bear eat him in the first place." Said with a smile pouting.
Ning Yue naturally knew that what she said was just angry words, how could a kind and innocent person like her not save her...... It's just that her words can't help but make Ning Yue feel sad, in this way, Douhu has a deep affection for her, but instead of feeling moved, the smile is bored. Let his feelings be sincere and desperate, if it is not what the person wants, it is just a trouble, which is really embarrassing. The helplessness and sorrow of fighting the tiger, as far as Ning Yue is concerned, is not deeply understood. Even if he couldn't look back with a smile, instead of holding back, he calmly dealt with it and went forward, such a pride was beyond Ning Yue's reach. Such a person who is most affectionate and sexually will not be a traitorous person, so Ning Yue was afraid of this second master, and secretly prayed in his heart that he would one day get what he wanted, so that the regret in his heart could be over......
"Sister Xiaoyan is so unwilling to see the second master, is it because she has someone in mind?" Ning Yue asked with a sigh.
"This ...... Not really...... It's just that...... If I say it, Sister Yue'er won't laugh at me. Said shyly.
Ning Yue smiled at her and told her to continue.
"In the past, my sister has told me a lot of talented and beautiful women, the story of God-given good fate, so I have a good impression of gentle and elegant readers since I was a child, and my sister also advised me to find a scholar to be a husband, one is a scholar who is reasonable, good temperament, even if I meet an arrogant person like me, it will not give birth to a mess, and the other will give birth to a baby in the future, and it is a good way out to read and write with him. Therefore, the recklessness of the mountains and grasses like fighting tigers is not among the candidates of my husband, and even if he pesters me more, it will be in vain after all. After speaking, the smile broke into a smile.
Ning Yue felt sorry after hearing this, it seems that Douhu is destined to have nothing to do with Xiaoyan in this life...... Hearing Xiaoyan talk about a gentle and elegant person, Ning Yue couldn't help but think of An Ruiqi, but he already had a good match, so it was inconvenient to say goodbye to Xiaoyan......
At this time, Han Fei said loudly outside the door: "Xiaoyan, if you still have to go up the mountain to collect medicine today, or leave immediately, if you delay the hour, it will be difficult to go down the mountain when the fog rises in the mountains in the evening." ”
Xiaoyan only woke up after hearing this, hurriedly put the bamboo basket on his back, stuffed the small dagger into his arms, and walked out of the room quickly without saying goodbye to Ning Yue, only to see Han Fei standing outside the door with a frown, and a gray-white pigeon parked on his shoulder began to cooing when he saw Xiaoyan appear.
"Goo, come here!" The pigeon heard the smiling call and landed lightly on her shoulder. "Brother-in-law, Sister Yue'er, I'm going to collect medicine!" Seeing the pigeon standing firmly on her shoulder, Smiling greeted her hurriedly, and ran away without looking back.
"Sister Smiling, wait for me!" Ning Yue felt that there was danger in the mountains, so he chased after him without thinking too much.
Han Fei didn't stop him when he saw it, he knew that Douhu would definitely follow closely as usual, and with his protection, why worry about the thoughtfulness of the two.
