He Mai couldn't help laughing, "You girl, what strange things are you thinking about in your head?" ”

Shancao pouted, "This is called the heart of guarding against people!" I heard Chu Langzhong say that she had walked a long way from the mountains to come to our village. You say, she is a weak woman, why did she come to our village for so many sins? ”

He Mai was stunned, she had asked Xu Pingyao several times about this question, but Mo said that Xu Pingyao, even Liulang was vague and refused to tell her the truth.

"Maybe there's something unspeakable...... "Hemai wants to convince Shancao like this.

Shancao sighed, "What is so unspeakable?" It's clear that I'm looking for a lover! You see, she looked in a daze, didn't she look like she was thinking about her love brother? ”

He Mai glanced at Shancao, "Don't talk nonsense, Miss Xu has been away from home for a long time and misses home." ”

"That's it, you won't believe what I say, then I won't say it." Shancao waved his hand, rolled his eyes, and bit Hemai's ear and said a few words.

He Mai showed a hesitant look on his face, biting his lower lip and contemplating for a long time.

At noon, He Mai made lunch, and just about to beckon Xu Pingyao and Liulang to eat, Shancao hurriedly ran to the house, saying that there was an urgent matter for He Mai to help.

"What's the urgency, do you need me to go?" Seeing that Shancao looked in a hurry, Rokuro asked if he needed to go too.

"No, Brother Liulang, it's good for you to stay at home, and I'll send you back the wheat in a while." After Shancao finished speaking to Rokuro with a smile, he turned around and took Hemai's hand.

"Liulang, remember to add food to Miss Xu." He Mai shouted to Rokuro before going out, beckoned again, and the figure disappeared at the intersection.

Inside the house, Liulang sat down and glanced at Xu Pingyao lightly, "Let's eat." ”

Xu Pingyao raised his eyes, silently picked up the dishes and chopsticks, and ate quietly.

And on the hillside opposite the Yang family, it didn't take long for two thieves' eyes to appear.

He Mai asked Shancao with some trepidation, "Liulang has good eyesight, what can he say if he finds out in a while?" ”

Shancao laughed and said, "We are so far away, we won't find out!" She rushed to Nunu in front of her, "At least before we find out, we can see what this Xu Pingyao and Brother Liulang are like when they are alone, and we will know what her relationship is with Brother Liulang, shh, don't talk!" ”

In the house, the two of them ate very slowly, and Xu Pingyao put down his chopsticks after a few bites, as if he had something on his mind.

"Unappetizing?" Rokuro asked lightly.

Xu Pingyao hung his head, and his voice was very soft, "Your lady's craftsmanship is very good, she is a good woman." ”

Rokuro pursed his lower lip and said, "Shouldn't you call her sister-in-law?" ”

Xu Pingyao stared straight at him, do you really want to live here for the rest of your life? And her?

"I'm not going to leave here unless I have to." Rokuro's answer was unusually firm.

Xu Pingyao bit his lip and stood up, his eyes flashed with incomprehensible complexity, and his peaceful voice added a bit of injustice and anger, "Have you forgotten your promise in front of my father?" Are you worthy of him like this!? ”

Liulang put down his chopsticks and looked at Xu Pingyao with a calm look, "The promise I made is to protect the safety of the two young ladies of your Xu family, not to promise you for the rest of your life!" I ask myself if I am worthy of everyone in your Xu family, you don't have to yell at me here, Miss Xu Er, when you are healed, I will send someone to send you back! ”

"I don't want it!" Xu Pingyao screamed: "You men are all negative men, and you won't count what you have said!" ”

"Enough! What do you say to me? Liulang stood up with a frown and stared at Xu Pingyao unhappily until Xu Pingyao cried aggrievedly, and did not say a word again.

The two men on the opposite hillside could see their quarrel, but their ears were blurry and they couldn't hear what they were saying.

Occasionally, some sporadic voices came into He Mai's ears, and she was terrified to hear the words "negative man", "promise" and "worthy of whom".

It wasn't until Liulang and Xu Pingyao returned to their respective houses that He Mai and Shancao came out of the hill with their waists.

"Did you hear me this time? This surnamed Xu is here to find Brother Liulang, she is not well-intentioned! You've picked up a snake and come back! Shancao waved her hand indignantly, "I'll drive her out of the village in a while, and see how arrogant she is." ”

He Mai hesitated, "But Miss Xu didn't do anything deviant......

"Oh, if you really wait for her to do those things, it's too late for you to regret it!" Shancao nodded Hemai's forehead, "You, why are your hearts so soft?" Do you have to wait for her to bully you? You have to take the initiative! ”

"But I believe Rokuro." He Mai said softly, "He is not a person who likes the new and hates the old. ”

"I'm even sure that he and this Miss Xu must not have the same relationship as you said." He Mai said firmly.

Shan Cao's eyes widened, "But we all met, she and Brother Liulang quarreled, and they said those words......"

"But we didn't hear it clearly, it was just a few words." He Mai's eyes turned elsewhere, and his lower lip puffed out, "What's more, this is Miss Xu's approach, and it doesn't represent Liulang's thoughts." ”

She looked at the puzzled face of the mountain grass and smiled, "You girl, do you really think I'm a soft persimmon?" If she is like Lin Hemiao at the beginning, and does something to hurt me because of her own preferences, I will naturally not be soft. But now that she is injured again, and she has nothing to do, it is too unreasonable for you to ask me to kick her out. ”

Shancao was still a little worried, "But it's not the same thing for you to keep her at home......

"I'll keep an eye on it." She patted Shancao's hand and comforted, "You can rest assured." ”

When He Mai returned home, Liulang was cleaning up the table, and Xu Pingyao was fetching water by the well to wash the dishes.

"Miss Xu, how can you do such rough work when you are injured? Go and rest, I'll come. He Mai hurriedly snatched the dishes and chopsticks in Xu Pingyao's hand.

"It's out of the way." Xu Pingyao shook his head, and glanced at Liulang on the side with a somewhat complicated gaze, "These days, Pingyao is troublesome to my sister-in-law, and I really don't want to go." ”

He Mai was stunned, and then smiled at her, "Thank you, just bring one more person's food." ”

Xu Pingyao took a sip, turned around and went back to the house after a while.

Rokuro finished cleaning up the table and walked over to her, "Is there nothing wrong with the Yamakusa family?" ”

"It's all right." He Mai replied.

She hesitated for a moment and said to Rokuro, "I have something I want to discuss with you. ”

"What's wrong?" Rokuro stared at her.

He Mai took his hand and entered the house, and asked in a low voice, "I'm afraid the porridge stall will open again after a while?" ”

"After a while?" Rokuro was stunned, "Why?" ”

He Mai bit her lower lip, "Miss Xu is at home, let's go to the stall every morning, isn't it good?" ”

"Is it for this?" Rokuro raised his eyebrows, and then stretched his face, "That's not necessary. ”

He paused, "She can't stay here for long." ”
