The cool breeze gusts, the weeping willows cling, and on the cobblestone-paved path, one high and one low, two figures walk side by side.

"Miss Xu's house, can there be willow trees?" Shen Ye asked casually as he walked forward slowly.

Xu Qinghe shook his head, "Xu Mansion doesn't even have a pool, how can we weep willows?" However, although it is not as beautiful as the scenery of your mansion, there are also a few silver laurel trees planted, and the fragrance will be wafting until August, and I am afraid that the house can also smell it. ”

Shen Ye said with a smile: "That's the best." I like to smell the fragrance of osmanthus the most on weekdays, especially the osmanthus brew in Meizhou, which is fragrant and evocative. I don't know if there is osmanthus brew in Miss Xu's house? ”

Xu Qinghe glanced at Lord Thorn Shi very apologetically, and said: "Don't dare to deceive your lordship, because no one drinks in the house, so the osmanthus picked every year is made into osmanthus cake and osmanthus tea......

Shen Ye looked slightly embarrassed when he heard this, "It's me who asked too recklessly, please don't blame Miss Xu!" ”

"If you like to drink osmanthus brewing, you can go to the Guolao Cinnamon Wine Workshop in the west of the city to have a look, his family's osmanthus brewing is the most famous in Meizhou City." Xu Qinghe said with a smile.

Shen Ye nodded, "Okay, thank you Miss Xu for telling me." ”

The two walked along the path, and after bypassing a large rockery pond, a row of blue bricks and black tiles blocked the wall, and a large canopy of tall and lush maple trees emerged from the wall.

Seeing this scene, Xu Qinghe hurriedly said: "My lord, there is no road ahead, shall we turn left or right?" ”

Shen Ye glanced at the lush canopy and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that there was such a tall and lush maple tree in the Xu Mansion. Look at this thick branch, at least sixty or seventy years old. ”

Xu Qinghe had no choice but to reply, "This maple tree is now a hundred years old. ”

Shen Ye smiled and sighed, "Trees live for a hundred years, but people can't live for a hundred years." Looking at the woman beside him, he asked, "Miss Xu, I want to see this maple tree up close, I don't know if it's convenient?" ”

Xu Qinghe noticed that Lord Thorn Shi's gaze fell on him, and immediately looked sideways at it, and replied expectantly, "I'm afraid...... It's not very convenient, that place is...... The abode of the daughters of the people. ”

Shen Ye smiled embarrassedly when he heard this, hurriedly looked at a cluster of Nanzhu not far away, and coughed lightly, "It's my reckless words, please forgive Miss Xu." After speaking, he couldn't help but glance at the tips of the woman's reddened ears and lowered eyebrows......

Xu Qinghe was extremely helpless.

Along the way, Lord Thorn Shi didn't know how many times he said reckless words! She is a civilian, how can she have the courage to think endlessly......

"Adults are serious, some small things, how to account for them. Let's turn left! There seems to be a gazebo over there. ”

Shen Ye knew that her physical strength was not good, and she should find a place to rest after walking for so long. He said "yes" and walked to the trail on the left.

After Xu Qinghe and the others took a few steps ahead, they looked up and looked around, there were two courtyards at both ends of the wall, but they didn't know which one was where Lord Thorn Shi lived.

I wailed in my heart, it seems that every move in the courtyard in the future must be cautious, after all, there is a thorn in the wall!

The cloudy wind blew with moisture, and she looked up at the cloudy sky, and God was finally going to be windy and rainy after a long time. Knowing that the wind and rain were coming, I had to silently pray that there should be no thunder......

"What is Miss Xu doing?" A few steps away, Lord Thorn Shi turned around and saw the woman stunned in place, so he couldn't help but ask.

Xu Qinghe heard the question and hurriedly followed.

The two of them came to the pavilion one after the other, intending to rest for a while.

Xu Qinghe looked at the bright flowers and plants outside the pavilion and praised: "Today the sky is gloomy, and everywhere is gray. But in the Thorn History Mansion is a field of flowers and willows, colorful and bright. It's so exciting! ”

Shen Ye said softly: "If Miss Xu likes the scenery in this garden, she can come to watch it often, anyway, it's only a few steps away." ”

Xu Qinghe smiled awkwardly, "Lord Shen said he was laughing!" Adults are entangled in official duties every day, working hard for the people, how dare the women of the people come to disturb ......"

As he spoke, the sky was already surging and cloudy.

A thunderclap exploded in mid-air, resounding through the sky!

The sudden thunder shocked Xu Qinghe and trembled! She hurriedly covered her ears with trembling hands, closed her eyes tightly, and the blood on her face gradually faded......

Shen Ye saw the woman's frightened and frightened appearance, and hurriedly approached, bowed his head and said warmly, "Don't be afraid!" It's just a thunderbolt. You let go of your hand and listen, there is no thunder anymore. ”

Xu Qinghe didn't seem to hear the man's voice, still covering his ears tightly, his eyelashes trembling.

In the darkness, deafening lightning and thunder rang, crashed, and exploded in my mind......

The tinnitus of "buzz-buzz-" lingered......

"It hurts...... It hurts......" Xu Qinghe snorted uncomfortably.

The pouring rain poured down, carrying the wind and rain into the pavilion.

Shen Ye hurriedly raised his sleeves and blocked in front of the woman. Between the storm and the hustle and bustle, it was impossible to hear what the woman was saying.

"Miss Xu, what's wrong with you?" He shouted with his head down.

Xu Qinghe seemed to hear someone shouting at this time, opened his eyes, and looked at Shen Ye who was anxious in a daze, and the tinnitus of "hum-hum-" made her unable to tell whether it was thunder or rain......

She asked in a hoarse voice, "Ray, have you stopped?" ”

Shen Ye looked at her and said warmly: "It's no thunder anymore, it's just raining heavily." What happened to you? But what's uncomfortable? ”

"Headache!" Xu Qinghe frowned and said a word, only to find that the man was standing in front of him, and his tall figure blocked the wind and rain outside the pavilion.

The rain covered the sky, and the wind carried the rain into the pavilion, and the men's robes were soaked except for the front placket......

Xu Qinghe looked at the dress on his body that was not stained with the slightest rain stain, and couldn't help but throb in his heart.

"Miss Xu's headache, is it because of the thunder just now?" Shen Ye asked Wen Yan as he looked at the woman's pale face and frowning eyebrows.

Xu Qinghe endured the lingering tinnitus and responded, "Hmm...... I can't hear the thunder, otherwise I'll have ringing in my ears and a headache......"

Shen Ye suddenly said, "Then Miss Xu is feeling better now?" Now I can only hear the sound of heavy rain brushing, and there is no thunder......"

Before the words fell, "Boom, boom—" Several loud bangs exploded in the air......

Shen Ye reacted quickly, and suddenly dragged the woman into his arms, covering her ears tightly with one hand and firmly protecting the back of her head with the other......

Xu Qinghe was dizzy, and was suddenly embraced by the man, his cheeks pressed against his warm and dry chest.

"Bang...... Bang......"

A powerful heartbeat came into her mind one by one, diluting the tinnitus of "buzz-buzz-" ......

The palm attached to the left ear is warm and powerful......
