"What's wrong?" Fang Shi sensed her movement, and he also woke up, and during this time, no one dared to fall asleep.

"Mother, I seem to hear the sound of horses' hooves, I have to go out and have a look." Liu Man'er put on her clothes and walked out.

"The sound of horses' hooves? Did you hear it right? Fang Shi was a little scared and hurriedly asked.

"That's right, I just don't know if it's a passer-by, or a horse thief, don't be afraid, mother, I'll call you if there's something." Liu Man'er said and put on her clothes, picked up the bow and arrow at the door and walked out.

"Then be careful." Fang Shi admonished.

"Mother, don't worry, you can pack up your things a little, if I wait to shout, you can immediately call them to go and know." Liu Man'er said and walked out of the house.

Carrying a lantern and a dog, Liu Man'er walked out of the door, came to the road, and walked all the way, the cold wind hit, and in the dark night, it made people a little panicked.

The sound of horses' hooves is getting closer and closer, and Liu Man'er faintly sees three or two fires in the wind, if it is that group of horse bandits, they will inevitably light torches, and the momentum will be louder, and the sound of horses' hooves should not be these.

Liu Man'er was not sure, but she was not easy in her heart, she walked to the fence, she looked at whether the fence was fenced, and then silently guarded there, waiting for the people in front of her to come, she looked at the situation clearly.

It can't be her hallucination again, right?

Liu Man'er suddenly remembered such a thought in her heart, and felt that the sound of the horse's hooves came and went, and the lights in the distance were also flickering, and the cold wind blew directly into the bones of people at night.

Don't be afraid, if there is something dirty, her dog will bark, but at this moment, the dog is silently by her side, which also makes her feel a little infiltrated.

Cheer herself up silently in her heart, these ghosts have nothing to be afraid of, she is also a ghost, what is there to be afraid of, there is no need to be afraid at all, what she has to worry about should be the horse bandits, if she dies this time, there will be no next chance.

The horses drew closer and closer to her, and in a few moments they finally reached the fence.

"Phew~" Several horses stopped at the fence at the same time.

Liu Man'er turned her head, and the torches in the hands of those people flickered, and before she could see their faces clearly, the torches in their hands were extinguished.

Liu Man'er lifted the lantern and was about to ask, but she heard a surprised voice: "Man'er, why are you here?" ”

The person turned over and dismounted, Liu Man'er heard this familiar voice and still felt that she was in a dream, she raised the lantern and saw a familiar face, the man's face was square, the sword eyebrows were bright, Xu was running all the way, stained with a little wind and frost, a pair of black eyes were deep and introverted but crystal clear, and the eyes were full of joy.

Liu Man'er pinched her palm, the pain came, she hurriedly opened the fence, seeing that she was quite struggling, Ye Yuan turned over directly from the fence and helped her move the fence away, then she held her hand tightly, seeing that her palm was cold, she held her little hand tightly with her rough and warm hands, lowered her head, and asked:

"Could it be that you can't count it, knowing that I'm coming back today, so you are waiting for me here?"

The tall and burly figure stood in front of Liu Man'er, imprinting her body, and even more thin and thin, Ye Yuan couldn't help but take her into his arms and said, "You seem to have lost a lot of weight." ”

"Ahem." Liu Man'er was about to speak, but there was a light cough next to her, and she remembered that Ye Yuan was not the only one here, so she hurriedly pushed Ye Yuan away and asked, "Are they all your friends?" ”

"Yes." Ye Yuan nodded and said, "They are all my good comrades-in-arms in the army, this is Li Han, you know." ”

As soon as Ye Yuan introduced Li Han, Li Han jumped out, waved his hand at Liu Man'er, and said, "Little sister-in-law, don't you know me?" ”

Liu Man'er grinned at him, two shallow pear vortices at the corners of her mouth, "How could I not know you, but why did you come here at night?" Can't you come during the day? ”

Li Han heard the reproach in Liu Man'er's heart, so he also echoed: "Yes, yes, yes, it's out of time for me to come." ”

Liu Man'er shook her head and said, "Not really, it's just that the village has been robbed by horse bandits recently, and I am now a soldier of all grass and trees." ”

"Makes you suffer." Ye Yuan nodded, and didn't care about the presence of others, just held her hand and said, "Let's go, let's go home, with me, you don't have to be afraid in the future." ”

"Hmm." Liu Man'er lowered her head obediently, just wanted to lean on him and cry, during this time, she was really afraid, this kind of thing that seemed to be in danger of her life and family business at any time made people really feel uncomfortable.

The fence was still enclosed, Liu Man'er led everyone home, Fang had already gotten up and stood at the door, seeing Liu Man'er and the others coming, he was already a little worried in his heart, and hurriedly shouted: "Man'er? ”

"Mother, it's Ye Yuan who is back." Liu Man'er said briskly, and the dog under her feet also ran to Fang's feet to be coquettish.

"Yuan'er ......" Fang stumbled over, and when he saw his son, he finally had something to rely on.

Walking in front of Ye Yuan, Fang Shi held Ye Yuan's hand tightly and said, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back." ”

"You haven't eaten yet, have you? I'll cook for you. Fang Shi said and walked forward, Liu Man'er also went to the kitchen with this Fang Shi to work, boiling water to make tea, preparing bath water for them, and then preparing noodles for them.

Ye Yuan entered the house, and obviously saw that the house was a little messy, and the walls were also dark, so he asked Man'er, and said, "I heard that the horse bandits also came to our village last time?" ”

"Uh-huh." Liu Man'er nodded a little aggrievedly, and while pouring tea for everyone, she said, "They also set fire to our house, but I took my mother and them to the mountain." ”

"It's okay for you guys to be okay." Ye Yuan looked at Liu Man'er, seeing that her skin was fair, but her eyes were clearly a little green, it seemed that she was also worried and scared these days, so she said coldly: "These horse bandits, I won't let them go!" ”

"Well, but when you come back today, let's not talk about these unhappy things, you must be hungry, wait a while, my mother is giving you a note." Liu Man'er said and ran to the kitchen.

After a while, she helped Fang Shi bring out the noodles, seeing that she was a little hot, Ye Yuan hurriedly took it, asked her to sit down, and went to the kitchen to bring these noodles in person, and said: "We are all rough men, it doesn't matter if we eat or not, but it is hard for you to kiss your mother." ”

"What's this, it's rare for your friend to come to our house, you should be entertained, you wait, I'll get you wine." Liu Man'er said and was about to leave.

"Okay, thank you, sister-in-law......" Li Han's words were not finished, but Ye Yuan held her down and said, "No, we don't drink, don't be busy, go and rest." ”

"Well, I don't really want to get the wine in the cellar, so I'll go and arrange a bed for a few of your friends first."

Liu Man'er said and went out again, she directly cleaned up the room between Ye Feng and Liu Fusheng, and planned to live with Ye Yuan's three friends.

Except for one Li Han, she didn't know the other two of these three friends, but Ye Yuan was able to bring them home, which means that they are his good friends.

In a few moments, when she helped them make their beds and returned to the hall, they had already finished eating.

"I've boiled water for you, go wash it, and I'll give you the rooms of my two younger brothers later, and let my father-in-law take you there when the time comes." Liu Man'er said to the three guests.

"Okay, thank you, sister-in-law." Another scholar-like person also thanked Liu Man'er.

Ye Yuan introduced these three people to Liu Man'er with Fang's family, except for Li Han, the person who looked like a scholar was called Lou Ye, and the other person who didn't say a word from beginning to end was called Dong Ming.

Next, he introduced the Fang family and Liu Man'er to them, and everyone saluted each other, which can be regarded as acquaintance.

"Auntie, I'm really sorry to come and bother me at night." Li Han is still sunny and talkative.

"It's okay, it's good to come and play often, in my family, I can't see a few descendants all year round." Fang said with some emotion.

Liu Man'er said: "Okay, mother, you go to rest first, I'll go upstairs to clean up the room." ”

She meant not to sleep with the Fang clan tonight.

"Okay, I'll talk about it tomorrow." Fang patted Liu Man'er's hand, said hello to everyone again, and went to his room.

Liu Man'er didn't go upstairs either, waiting for the group of men to go to wash, and she lay on the table alone and waited.

When Ye Yuan settled his three brothers and came back, she was on her wrists and drowsy.

"Why don't you go to sleep first?" Ye Yuan walked over softly, and under the light, the people in front of him became more and more petite, with black hair like crows.

"I'm afraid to sleep alone." Liu Man'er raised her head and pouted: "You don't know, this time the horse bandits suddenly attacked, many people died in several villages near us, even our village was not spared, I am already a shadow now, during this time, I have slept with my mother." ”

"I'll be here in the future, don't be afraid." Ye Yuan walked over, took her hand, and led her upstairs.

Liu Man'er cleaned up the upstairs room, but she hadn't slept during this time, Ye Yuan lit the lamp, and Liu Man'er sat on the bed and waited for him to come over.

However, I obviously felt that I had been frightened and wronged a lot during this time, but I couldn't say a word when I saw him.

"What's wrong? Look at your aggrieved look? Ye Yuan walked over and saw where she was sitting prettyly, her eyes were slightly red, and she looked at him directly, as if she was full of worries and grievances.

"Not really." Liu Man'er said, scattered the bun on her head, and went to sleep on the bed, she fell asleep inside, as if she was very alien to him.

Ye Yuan touched his nose, knowing that he hadn't returned home for a long time, he neglected her, and made her suffer a lot of grievances, so he didn't say much, just blew out the light, lifted the quilt, and slept outside silently.

However, the fragrant fragrance of the man beside him made him dream, and drilled straight into his nose, making him a little ape-like, and while he was secretly patient, his delicate body turned over and rolled to his side, and his weak and boneless hands also covered his chest.

Ye Yuan couldn't hold back any longer, hooked his big hand, hugged her, the two looked at each other, her pupils were like a deep pool under the moonlight, glowing with water, and his gaze was too hot, looking at you directly, it was enough to melt people's souls.
