Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Sudden Rainstorm
For Xuanyuan, Xue'er has an inexplicable trust, so that she is always willing to believe his every word.
Although this person is very scoundrel and domineering, he refuses to return the dragon pattern jade pendant to her, and refuses to give it to the people of Providence Villa, and forces himself to accept his demon concubine's tears, and even blatantly threatens himself.
This trust and dependence seemed to come from the depths of her heart, as if she had known him for a long time and knew each other perfectly.
When Xuanyuan hugged her and jumped vertically and horizontally on the staggered roof of the Providence Villa, this trust was infinitely expanded.
Cher's eyes widened, curiously watching the scenery change under her feet, and her beautiful little face was full of novelty.
Xuanyuan Yu peeked at her, and felt extremely satisfied, even if it was only for this short moment, with her trust and dependence, he had no regrets.
The Providence Villa is really as Xuanyuan said, because of the appearance of the Sangong Holy Woman's skin yesterday, almost all the people in the rivers and lakes who are still staying here have gathered on the periphery of Mufeng Xuan, and even Shan Zheng has transferred some Zhuang Ding over.
And the rest of them almost rushed to the gate, presumably to see the new human skin that appeared today, that is, the rest did not go, and they were busy asking many people who had seen human skin yesterday, for fear that they had missed something.
Therefore, in the process of taking Xue'er all the way to cross the ridge, Xuanyuan Yu didn't even meet a Zhuang Ding, so he went directly to a small corner gate before he fell down again.
The corner gate was unguarded, only a large rusty lock, which Xuanyuan disconnected with a twist of his hand. Then he pulled open the dusty iron door and pulled Xue'er out.
He turned around and closed the door and said to Xue'er, "I'll send you back from here later."
Xue'er then completely relieved herself and followed Xuanyuan Yu out of the Providence Villa.
From the beginning when Yang Jin wronged Xue'er, to the time when Xuanyuan Yu received the news at noon, he set off to lead Yang Jin away and persuade Xue'er, although there were many things in between, but now it was only close to evening.
The heat at noon has passed, and there is a slight wind blowing, with a slight cool breath, which can just blow away a thin layer of sweat on people, but it does not make people feel cold, but there is an indescribable comfort.
Leaving the scope of the Providence Villa, Xue'er said nothing and refused to let Xuanyuan Yu hold her anymore, Xuanyuan Yu thought for a while, and let her go.
However, Xue'er soon discovered that Xuanyuan didn't respect her very much, but had premeditated!
Who is Xuanyuan, how fast he goes, and what is a few tens of miles to him? But she is different, she has no internal strength and can't use it, in fact, she is no different from ordinary people!
Seeing the sun setting, the red glow filling the sky, and the thin twilight spreading, Xue'er found that she didn't see Yang Jin's shadow at all!
What made Xue'er grit her teeth even more was that Xuanyuan Yu was not in a hurry, let alone urging her, so he followed her slowly and leisurely.
"Xuanyuan," there was clearly a slight wind blowing with the coolness of the night, but Xue'er was sweating all over. She couldn't help but turn her head to look at Xuanyuan, "Where did you tie up Manager Yang?" ”
Xuanyuan shrugged his shoulders senselessly: "On the side of the road."
Looking at Xuanyuan Yu with a leisurely and comfortable face, Xue'er gritted her teeth: "I'm asking, how far is it?"
Xuanyuan Yu stopped and thought about it seriously: "Well, it's probably ten miles away from the Jade City."
The Jade City is more than fifty miles west of the Heavenly Providence Villa, which is ten miles away from the Jade City...... Cher wiped her sweat again: "How long will you have to go?"
Xuanyuan said: "From the Heavenly Providence Villa to there, it is only forty miles, just now I took you to walk about six or seven miles, and then you yourself walked four or five miles, so you should have to walk more than twenty miles......"
His expression was innocent and serious, as if he was concentrating on calculating the distance, and then answering Cher's question, but it made Cher grit her teeth.
This person is clearly deliberately manipulating her!
The sun had completely set, a thin twilight shrouded in, and the evening breeze was even cooler, and there was a slight smell of rain mixed in with it, which made people feel extremely cool.
On Xue'er's smooth forehead, there was a layer of fine and dense beads of sweat, and even her breath was a little unsteady because she was walking too quickly. She raised her hand and wiped it with her sleeve, but she was worried in her heart: at her speed, she might not be able to walk to the place where Xuanyuan Yu tied Yang Jin in the middle of the night.
Her legs had begun to grow, and the soles of her feet were a little painful, and she didn't know if they had blisters. However, thinking about the fact that she had to continue walking more than 20 miles, her scalp tingled.
However, she was the one who insisted on walking by herself after leaving the Providence Villa, and now she couldn't walk, so she couldn't open her mouth again and let Xuanyuan Yu hold her forward, right?
Xue'er's careful thinking naturally couldn't hide from Xuanyuan, he looked up at the sky, and there was an imperceptible smile on the corner of his mouth: "Otherwise, let me take you away."
"No, no need!" Xue'er hurriedly took two steps forward, her hands swinging wildly, and her head shook like a rattle, "I still have the strength to walk." ”
Are you kidding? This and this, coming out of the Providence Villa can still be said to be a last resort, but now, no one is catching up behind, and there is a flat official road under his feet, if he still lets Xuanyuan Yu carry himself away?
She thought that Xuanyuan Yu would hold on or threaten herself, but he just said: "That's good, it's up to you." ”
Xue'er was stunned for a moment, when did this man talk so well? But before she could figure it out, she felt the tip of her nose cold!
She touched the tip of her nose suspiciously, thinking about where the water droplets came from, and by such a coincidence, she saw Xuanyuanyu's face change suddenly.
Before she could react, the raindrops of beans fell overwhelmingly!
Xue'er only felt that her body was smashed and hurt, and even her eyes couldn't be opened, the clothes on her body were soaked in an instant, and the cold feeling hit her, so that Xue'er couldn't help but curl up her whole body, and the next moment a pair of warm arms hugged her tightly, and instantly felt that she was being carried and rushed out.
Xuanyuan gritted his teeth with hatred in his heart, but at this moment, he had to draw temperature from the other party. What's more, the heavy rain not only made her unable to open her eyes, but also her mouth.
She didn't know how long Xuanyuan had been running in the heavy rain with her, and she didn't open her eyes until she felt no raindrops falling above her head, and then she saw Xuanyuan Yu's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
Xue'er's anger finally found a vent, but before she could speak, she heard Xuanyuan sigh and say, "Now you are satisfied, even I am so tired that I will rain with you." ”
"What?" Xue'er was stunned for a moment, then she reacted, and was about to refute, Xuanyuan Yu said again: "If you hadn't walked too slowly, you would have arrived at the big tree that tied Yang Jin up by now." ”
"I-"
Xue'er thought about it, it seems that this is really the case, if she can go faster, she will not walk such a short distance after leaving the Providence Villa, I am afraid that it is really as Xuanyuan Yu said, Yang Jin would have been released and returned to the Providence Villa, where would he be drenched in the soup halfway?
When she thought about it like this, the anger in her heart towards Xuanyuan Yu was reduced by half, and she had time to look around. But I found that this was just a short pavilion on the side of the road, with four wooden pillars, which could not cover the wind or rain, and only the wood on the top of the head could prevent the rain from hitting the head.
Then look at Xuanyuan, of course, his whole body was also drenched, and there were crystal droplets at the end of his wet long hair, which made his face even paler, and even his thin lips were faintly white.
So the anger in her heart was reduced by half again, and the guilt for causing Xuanyuan Yu to rain with her also rose, so she whispered: "I'm sorry, Xuanyuan, I ......"
She only said half of it, and then she woke up, and she apologized to him, what did she apologize for? She doesn't know how to work lightly, it's normal for her feet to be slow, should she apologize and say that she shouldn't let Xuanyuan Yu carry her?
So she swallowed the rest of the words back, thought for a while, and said, "I knew there would be a heavy rain today, so I shouldn't have come out with you." ”
Xuanyuan Yu looked at her puffed little face, resisted the urge to pinch it, her face was still light and light, she didn't care about Xue'er's complaints, but showed a trace of worry in her eyes: "I don't know how Yang Jin is, he has been drenched in this rain, I'm afraid it's ......."
He shook his head and sighed softly, seeing Cher's little face full of guilt again.
Although it is a hot summer day, but after the rainstorm, the temperature always has to drop a little, not to mention that it is evening at this time, even the sun has set, and the cold of the night makes Xue'er shiver with cold, and her body shrinks up.
Xue'er with this appearance is like a little beast, which makes people feel pity, Xuanyuan Yu couldn't help but step forward, tentatively, and gently hugged her.
Xue'er's body stiffened, instinctively wanting to refuse, but then there was a crisp and loud "sneeze" sound, which made her body tremble again.
At the same time, Xuanyuan's body temperature passed through the thin clothes, making her cold body feel a trace of warmth in an instant, and she couldn't help but feel a trace of greed.
So, reason knew that he should push the other party away, but his body honestly accepted Xuanyuan's hug.
Although it was drenched by the heavy rain, it couldn't wash away the unique daughter fragrance on Xue'er's body, which lingered around the tip of her nose and penetrated her heart and lungs, making Xuanyuanyu's heart rise boundless and charming for a while.
It's a pity that he knows too much about the sensitivity and suspicion of the woman in his arms, so he doesn't dare to make excessive movements, for fear that the slightest movement will startle her away from her, so he has to endure it bitterly.
What's even more regrettable is that the summer rain has always come and gone faster. Just when it was not completely dark, the rain stopped, as without warning as it had come.
There were still droplets of water dripping from all sides of the simple pavilion, like crystal teardrops, which made Xuanyuan think of the tears of the demon concubine for a moment.
It's just that he didn't have the heart to think too much, because the person in his arms also seemed to feel that the rainstorm had stopped and was struggling out of his arms!
