In the gap between being shocked and stunned, Heng Yu had already tied his cloak for him: "Master Hou, the wind and rain are urgent, let's go to the pavilion in front of us to take shelter from the rain, right?" ”

Xiao Mu looked forward in the direction of her finger like a god.

It was in the middle of the garden, covered by grass and trees in front of it, and the path was winding, and he did not see the gazebo she was talking about for a while.

In the next moment, the girl grabbed him above his wrist through her robe, and pulled him forward.

Whether on the battlefield or in private, Xiao Mu, who was very vigilant and responsive, only felt that everything had become sluggish at this moment, and he didn't have time to react, so he turned his head to look at the girl who was pulling him forward-

The raindrops were like threads, and she grabbed his wrist with one hand, and the other hand was across her head to block the rain in front of her, and the jewels inlaid in her hair swayed gently as she ran.

"......" Xiao Mu's personal servant looked at this scene dumbfounded.

Madame had already secretly bribed and coughed, and told him to keep an eye on the progress between Master Hou and Master Ji, and report everything to Madame.

So, he was going to tell his wife later that when it rained, the Hou Ye put on the cloak of the Ji painter, and then the two of them ran fast? ?

And just as Heng Yu was determined, after turning into another path, there was indeed a pavilion.

As soon as he entered the pavilion, Xiao Mu immediately took off his cloak.

Heng Yu hurriedly said: "Master Hou doesn't have to be polite to me-"

Xiao Mu insisted on untying it, and when he put it on for her, he said: "As a man, I want to occupy your cloak, how is this like words." ”

Seeing that it was not enough for him to return the cloak to himself, as if he had to relieve himself, Heng Yu immediately said: "How about men, what about women?" Who said that women should only be protected, isn't Hou Ye sticking to prejudice? Those who need it will be the right solution. ”

Xiao Mu paused, and his mood became more and more complicated.

Who needs it?

“…… You mean, Benhou is more delicate than you? He didn't know how he came up with it, and he didn't know why he used the word delicate.

"I don't mean that." Heng Yu explained: "It's just that thanks to Hou Ye's blessing recently, with proper care, the chill has been greatly improved - and Hou Ye has countless old injuries on his body, so he should avoid the cold so as not to trigger the old disease." The health of the Hou Ye is related to the safety of the Northland, and he must not be sloppy. ”

She had heard Doctor Yan say that the poison on his body would make him particularly afraid of cold.

So he didn't have time to think about it, so he gave him the cloak.

At the end of her, she didn't forget to make a sycophant, Xiao Mu didn't know if it was useful, looked at her for a moment, didn't say more, only asked: "Is it really cold?" ”

"It's not cold to avoid the rain." Afraid that he would continue to untie his cloak, Heng Yu reached out and shook his hand, and asked calmly: "Hou Ye, look, you didn't lie, did you?" ”

Her hand was soft and warm, and she only held it for a moment before letting go.

At this moment, Xiao Mu seemed to hear the sound of the dense war drums that shook the world before the battle.

It took him a moment to realize that it was the sound of his heartbeat.

Xiao Hou nodded to her as expressionlessly as possible, said "um", and then turned around slightly stiffly to look at the rain curtain outside the pavilion.

Thankfully, the sound of the rain -

He was secretly glad.

The hand she had shaken so quickly was half-hidden in his sleeve, and no one knew how careful he was, like a treasure.

"Master Hou, the little one is going to get an umbrella!" After grinning, the little guy outside the pavilion ran away.

The sound of rain covered the hustle and bustle of heaven and earth for a while.

"It's a blessing to have this moment to watch the rain in my spare time." Hengyu looked at the rain and sighed in a relaxed tone.

At this moment, you can listen to the sound of the rain and stop thinking about those troubles for a while.

Beyond the rain, she still has difficult things to deal with, and his situation is a hundred times more difficult than hers.

But none of this is in a hurry to think about it at this time.

Xiao Mu bowed his head and also looked at the rain and fog outside the pavilion.

That rainy night eight years ago was a night of respite for him on the run.

Although he had not slept soundly that night, he sometimes listened to the breath of the girl beside him, and he still felt that everything in the world was still real, and he finally grasped a trace of stability in the absence of belonging, and the precarious wall in his heart did not collapse.

The word kindness, whether it is received or paid, will get tangible inner feedback, which will become its own strength to support the inner well, leaving the opportunity for the light to shine in.

Xiao Mu subconsciously turned his head slightly and looked at the person beside him.

The girl tilted her face slightly, and her side face was like a pink and white begonia stained with morning dew.

Her hair was a little wet with rain, no longer as soft as silk as usual, and it was blown by the wind, and it was a little fluffy against the light, which made people want to rub it inexplicably.

With this thought, Xiao Mu suddenly thought of the picture of Yan Jin rubbing her head with her while laughing with her two days ago.

Oh, I thought about it more than yesterday, and rubbed it more than once.

"What does Painter Ji think of Yan Langjun?" He asked suddenly.

"Yan Jin." Heng Yu thought for a moment and said, "He is also a smart person with many secrets. ”

Also—

Xiao Mu didn't delve into anything, only asked: "So does Master Ji know his secret?" ”

"It's not a secret if you know." The girl's tone was calm and casual: "Everyone has secrets, and since they have nothing to do with me, I have never snooped into them." You don't have to know all the secrets of the other party to be friends, Master Hou, right? ”

Xiao Mu smiled slightly: "Yes." ”

Then he said, "So he can be regarded as your best friend?" ”

"Sort of." Heng Yu smiled: "In the end, he helped me and relieved my difficulties." ”

"Is it just because you helped?" Xiao Mu's eyes fell on the outside of the pavilion, as if he asked casually: "Is he the only one who helped you?" ”

"Of course not." Heng Yu tilted his head slightly and looked at him: "Since I came to Yingzhou, Master Hou has also helped me a lot." ”

Maybe outside of Yingzhou...... There have been.

Xiao Mu felt that he was quite naïve and talked a lot today, but he couldn't stop inexplicably: "Then what are the reasons why you get along well with Yan Langjun——"

"Probably because he's funny, everything is casual when you get along, and you don't have to worry about anything."

Xiao Mu let out a faint "oh".

"Master Hou is also a very interesting person." Heng Yu quickly added.

Xiao Mu put his hand behind his back: "You don't have to hold the water so flat, I know if I'm interesting or not." ”

She was the first to say that he was interesting - since he became Xiao Mu.

"If I tell the truth, in the eyes of the Hou Ye, I am either serving water or sycophants, which can be said to be quite prejudiced." Heng Yu said with a smile: "You need to know that it is interesting and you don't know it, so it is really interesting." ”

What the hell is this?

Xiao Mu snorted lightly, but the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised.

The little guy who came back with an umbrella not far away couldn't help but hesitate when he saw this scene.

Hou Ye looks like a rare pleasure, does he want to come forward to deliver the umbrella later?

After all, Madame said that this kind of thing is very particular.

So the little guy took a step back and hid behind a clump of withered bamboos, but because he was too gossipy, he couldn't help but poke his head out and peek.

This probe happened to crash into the vigilant sight of his own Hou Ye.

For a while, the four looked at each other-

Guy: "......"

Xiao Mu: "......"

After looking at each other silently for a moment, the little servant shook the umbrella in his hand in embarrassment, and asked Xiao Mu with his eyes.

Xiao Mu, who was suddenly forcibly dragged into the water, couldn't help but nod his head slightly.

This subtle eyebrow lawsuit happened to fall in Hengyu's eyes, and she also looked keenly at the bamboo forest, so she saw the picture of the little girl sneaking out of the waist-

Heng Yu was stunned.

So......?

Seeing her expression, Xiao Muden was shocked - listening to his explanation, he had just seen that little guy!!

Heng Yu had already made a look that he hadn't noticed anything, and looked away.

"......" Xiao Mu was willing to explain, but he couldn't speak for a while, for fear that the more he smeared, the blacker he became.

The little maid didn't notice the suffocation and despair of his marquis, and ran over to hand over the umbrella.

Heng Yu took a handful first, stretched it out, and walked out of the pavilion.

The warm and delicate deerskin boots step lightly on the water, making a few sparkling drops.

The girl under the umbrella, the corners of her mouth are slightly curved.

After a while, Xiao Mu followed with an umbrella with one hand.

In the rain, the two held umbrellas side by side, and their figures gradually drifted apart.

……

In the afternoon, the rain stops.

Liu Xun was writing something in the study, sometimes nervous, sometimes shaking his head and sighing, unable to make up his mind, when ordinary words could not relieve his hesitation, he wanted to recite a few lines of poetry.

"Lord Liu."

A servant of the Hou Mansion walked in.

Liu Xun hurriedly put down the pen, hurriedly gathered the things he had written, and threw them into the brazier.

Then he pretended to be indifferent and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

The servant suppressed the strange look in his heart and said, "Someone came to look for Lord Liu." ”

"Who?"

"That man claimed to be a guy from some bun shop......

Liu Xun stood up suddenly: "Where are the others?" ”

"There are no people waiting for them, and they have been stopped outside the village."

Liu Xun immediately walked out from behind the bookcase and walked out of the study quickly.

The servant looked at the burned handwriting in the brazier, and his suspicion deepened - Lord Liu Bo has often been sneaky in the study recently, and sometimes even secretly lit the lamp in the middle of the night.

The subordinates of the Dingbei Hou Mansion have never lacked vigilance.

Yes, he had told Hou Ye yesterday, but Hou Ye listened to it, and after a slight pause, he only said "I know".

No, he still has to talk to the marquis...... What kind of bun shop guy, it's hard to guarantee that he is not a thief who came to deal with Lord Liu!

However, as soon as the servant asked to see Xiao Mu, he saw Liu Xun hurrying over.

"My subordinates have an urgent matter and need to go back to the city, and I hope the general will answer-" Liu Xun had an anxious look on his face, obviously something urgent.

As early as when the guy from the bun shop was looking for him, someone had already sent the news to Xiao Mu.

At this time, he didn't ask much, but said: "The rainy road is difficult, be careful on the road." ”

"Yes, thank you, General!"

Liu Xun saluted and retreated.

"Master Hou, Lord Liu is thin on his ......"

Xiao Mu glanced at the servant, and immediately thought of the little man who sent the umbrella, and for a while he felt that the shadow was difficult to get rid of, and said with a bow and snake shadow: "I know the matter of Lord Liu's thinness, and there is no need to report this matter deliberately." ”

It is still a trivial matter to delay the delivery of the umbrella, if Ji Hengyu knows about Liu Xun and his mother's inhuman behavior in the future, and then contacts him with this matter, he is afraid that he really does not have to live anymore......

The servant didn't know that his own Hou Ye didn't dare to get involved with Liu Xun, and after hearing this, he felt that the Hou Ye was wise and martial arts, so he retreated with peace of mind.

……

Outside Zhuangzi, Liu Xun glanced at the donkey cart that the bun shop had come from, and immediately asked someone to prepare a horse.

……

In the newly renovated old house of the Miao family in the south of the city, there was a cry.

Responsibility-free small theater -

Late at night, Xiao Hou picked up the lamp and read at night.

Yan Ming came to change the medicine, and sighed with a dark face: "Master Hou can't work late at night anymore!" ”

When Doctor Yan was about to nag again, when he saw a string of big characters on the book cover, he couldn't help but widen his eyes and read carefully, "...... "Men Must Read, Thirty Days, Teach You How to Be an Interesting Man"???? ”
