In the twilight, the sky gradually darkened, and in the distance, the outline of the village could be seen.

Zhao Jiuye stopped, grabbed the sweat towel on the handle, wiped the sweat, and instructed Ah Sen: "You go and take a look!" ”

"Good!" Arsen responded cheerfully, and ran towards the village with a puff of smoke.

Zhao Jiuye took out a water bladder from the side and handed it to Fu Tingyun: "Drink saliva!" ”

Although the sun has receded in the west, the scorching heat of the day is still on the ground, steaming and steaming, not to mention that she is tightly wrapped, her throat and eyes have long been smoking, just watching Zhao Jiuye and Ah Sen are in a hurry, it is not good to make a sound.

Fu Tingyun thanked him, took the water bladder and drank a few sips.

The parched throat was moistened with water, and people were much more refreshed.

She breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and handed the water bladder to Zhao Jiuye, and was about to say "You can drink some too", when she suddenly realized that there was a difference between men and women, she hurriedly choked on the words, and wanted to retract the outstretched hand, Zhao Jiuye's eyes just looked over, and the two touched each other.

Fu Tingyun's face turned red.

Cowering, it's really a little family!

But it's nothing else, she just can't be generous if she wants to!

She was a little frustrated.

Zhao Jiuye obviously didn't think much about it, and said: "The world is very chaotic now, don't look at the people everywhere now, maybe if we take out a steamed bun, it will attract a group of people to rob it, it's better to be careful." Bear with me, and when we find a place to rest, you'll be able to untie your headscarf and fan the wind. ”

It turned out to be a misunderstanding that she was too hot......

Fu Tingyun's heart was relieved when he heard this.

It's good that there was this misunderstanding, otherwise, she really didn't know what to say!

"Ninth Master rest assured," she said deferentially, "I can save it!" ”

Zhao Jiuye said "um", stopped talking, and looked at the village in the distance.

The surroundings were quiet and silent, there was no sound at all, and Fu Tingyun could even hear his own thin breathing.

You can't just stop talking to each other!

Zhao Jiuye is her life-saving benefactor.

Fu Tingyun thought about it, racking his brains to find a topic.

"Ninth Master, how long will it take for us to get to Weinan?"

"There are still ten days!" Zhao Jiuye stared at the village, his voice was faint, and he seemed a little absent-minded, "I will definitely send you before the Mid-Autumn Festival." ”

She didn't rush back to her uncle's house for the Mid-Autumn Festival!

Fu Tingyun pursed the corners of his mouth.

However, since he mentioned the Mid-Autumn Festival, she had to be polite: "I don't know what kind of stuffed moon cakes the ninth master likes to eat, when the time comes, I will ask my aunt to make more, and the ninth master can also taste it with Ah Sen." ”

He had already made an appointment to meet with his companion in Xi'an Mansion on August 15, and he would definitely not agree to stay in Weinan for the holiday, and he might not want her to know about it, so she had to pretend not to know, and offered to make some moon cakes for him as a thank you.

Zhao Jiuye looked back at her: "You don't have to be polite to me, I'll send you to your uncle's house and leave!" ”

"You!" Fu Tingyun trembled with anger.

This person can't hear good or bad words, it's just ...... It's a great mallet!

He simply turned his head and drank water while waiting for news from Asen.

Zhao Jiuye could feel the change in Fu Tingyun's mood.

The Fu family has always advertised that "the family style is innocent and the boudoir is rigorous", and the fewer people who know about her death, the better. Otherwise, she wouldn't have asked him euphemistically how he spent the Mid-Autumn Festival? Now that he clearly told her that he didn't want to have anything to do with her, what else did she have to worry about?

He was puzzled.

There was silence between the two again.

In the distance, a small throbbing figure appeared on the ridge.

Fu Tingyun couldn't help but sit up straight and stretched his neck to look.

The figure is getting closer and closer, and it is Asen, who is sweating profusely.

Fu Tingyun was overjoyed.

"Master," Asen wiped his forehead with his sleeve, "there are no living people in the village." ”

Zhao Jiuye nodded and said to Fu Tingyun: "We will rest in the village today." ”

Fu Tingyun let out an "oh", and saw that the ridge was only enough for one person to walk, so he got off the cart.

Zhao Jiuye didn't stop it, and instructed Ah Sen: "You lead the way in front!" ”

Ah Sen happily responded "yes", and that spirit made people rejoice when they listened.

Fu Tingyun couldn't help but smile and followed Ah Sen to the ridge.

Zhao Jiuye walked behind pushing a wheelbarrow.

Ah Sen looked back from time to time, "Girl, be careful, there is a ditch here", "Girl, look, it's a little narrow here", for fear that she would fall.

There was only a layer of loess left in the fields, and there was no water in the small ditches on both sides, Fu Tingyun was not too worried, and smiled all the way into the village with Asen.

There were a dozen or twenty families in that village, and the houses were lined up. At the head of the village are a few straw houses, low and narrow, very dilapidated, or uninhabited, and some of the houses have collapsed, because it is too late, and the furnishings inside are not clear in the dark, but there is a disgusting stench wafting out.

Fu Tingyun covered his nose.

Zhao Jiuye's urging came from behind him: "Hurry up!" ”

She felt tired after sitting in the car for a few hours, let alone the person pushing the cart? Presumably he had been hoping for a break for a long time!

Fu Tingyun hurriedly walked forward and entered the village.

"Girl, we're going to rest there today—it's the neatest house in the village." ”

Fu Tingyun looked at it, it was a three-room house with pink walls and gray tiles, which looked solemn and magnificent.

"This house is very neat!" She smiled.

Suddenly, several dogs sprang out, baring their teeth and snarling in a low voice, and surrounded them.

Fu Tingyun was startled, and subconsciously hid behind Zhao Jiuye.

Ah Sen was very excited: "Master, it's a dog!" As he spoke, the figure pounced on one of the dogs like lightning, and the dog jumped up and pounced on Asen without showing any signs of weakness.

Fu Tingyun exclaimed.

"Come back!" Zhao Jiuye's voice sounded cold and cold.

Asen's body came to a screeching halt, turned sideways, and the dog pounced.

Zhao Jiuye had already taken out a Qi Mei stick from the burden and threw it at Ah Sen: "Just kill the matter, don't care about these dogs." ”

Ah Sen reached out and took the stick that was taller than the others, and without the slightest hesitation, he hit it, and the dog just jumped up and down, let out a short, shrill whimper, and lay motionless on the ground.

Fu Tingyun looked at Ah Sen in surprise.

He was only eight or nine years old, and he had such skills...... And the movements are clean and neat, without hesitation, faintly revealing a bit of ruthlessness...... Where does this look like a child who is still in the general corner?

She suddenly felt that this delicate-looking child, who was happy at all times, was so strange.

Fu Tingyun looked at Zhao Jiuye.

In the darkness, he was as silent as a mountain.

The dog whimpered and fled in all directions.

Asen chased after him, his hand dropping, and the dog let out a mournful whine.

She has a white Pekingese dog, her big black eyes are as warm as jade, she squats at her feet when she embroiders and writes, as long as she looks up, she will run over to lick her shoes at her flattering call, I don't know how cute it is......

Fu Tingyun only felt a faint pain in his heart.

I couldn't bear to close my eyes.

After a few whinings of fluttering and beating, silence returned.

Zhao Jiuye said lightly, "Let's go", and then pushed the cart into the house.

Fu Tingyun didn't look to the side, lowered his head and followed into the house.

Asen didn't know when he rushed over, took out the fire fold from his arms, and the room lit up with orange light.

Fu Tingyun looked around.

The shrine in the middle of the hall was empty, and there was nothing in the room except for the large incense case. It can be seen that the owner of the house is very calm when he leaves.

Zhao Jiuye's footsteps did not stop, and went straight to the back.

Behind is a patio, I don't know what kind of flower tree is planted in the corner of the wall, it has died, and there is a well under the tree.

Asen ran to shake the wheels on the well.

"No water!" Very disappointed.

Zhao Jiuye seemed to think he was stupid, so he didn't look at him, put the small cart aside, and pushed open the door of the side room.

Asen hurriedly ran into the past with a fire fold.

"You'll sleep here tonight!" Zhao Jiuye said in the wing.

Fu Tingyun walked in.

There was only one earthen kang in the wing, and a thick layer of ash fell on it.

Assen pouted his ass and searched around the house.

Zhao Jiuye frowned: "What are you doing?" ”

"I'll see if I can find an oil lamp," he looked at Fu Tingyun with a grin, "Then the girl can see clearly!" ”

Zhao Jiuye snatched the fire fold from Ah Sen's hand without saying a word, and then inserted it into the lattice of the window lattice.

Arsen touched his head and smiled.

Under the light, the smile was shy and shy.

Fu Tingyun felt a chill in his heart, and he couldn't feel that kind of joy and resonance anymore.

Arsen broke the branches of the flower tree and swept the ashes in the wings.

Zhao Jiuye beckoned Fu Tingyun to the patio: "You take off your headscarf and take a breath!" ”

Fu Tingyun replied in a low voice and silently untied his headscarf.

Although there was a hint of wind, she didn't feel particularly cool because of it.

There are only a few stars twinkling in the gray-blue sky.

Zhao Jiuye looked at it and sighed, and said, "I'll take a look around!" Then he walked around the house.

Ah Sen had already packed up the wings, pushed the small cart into the wings, and then took out the jars and jars from the small cart: "Master, I'm going to boil medicine for the girl!" ”

Zhao Jiuye said "um" and sat on the kang: "Go further, it will be Huayin City." The government sent officials to fortify the city gates, and the fleeing people probably gathered outside the city. We took a detour. If you can find such a village, you can still boil a bowl of medicine, if you can't find it, you can only stop the medicine. As he spoke, he took out an egg from the cart and said, "Pad your stomach first." ”

Looking at the eggs in his palm, Fu Tingyun was in a complicated mood.

He could take such good care of her, and he could kill those dogs mercilessly...... I thought of the first time the two met...... He can choke her half to death, or he can risk saving her and escorting her to find her relatives...... What kind of person is he?

She looked at him in confusion.

He just tugged at the corners of his mouth: "Eat it!" After a few days, I won't be able to eat anymore. ”

"I don't want to eat!" Looking at his calm appearance, Fu Tingyun's heart somehow burst into flames, and she sat down at the end of the kang, "I'm not hungry yet!" ”

Zhao Jiuye raised his eyebrows and put the egg on the kang.

Fu Tingyun sat precariously and didn't look at the egg.

The fire crackled and sparks, and Ah Sen cautiously brought the medicine in: "Girl, drink it quickly!" "It's good that the trees are dead, otherwise there would not be firewood." Looking at the eggs on the kang, his eyes lit up, "Girl, why didn't you eat it?" Swallowed.
