Xue Nuo didn't seem to expect Shi An to ask for credit for her, so he hurriedly waved his hand and whispered with a slightly red cheek: "It's not that I boiled it, I just watched the stove for a while......"

"It's the same with the stove."

Of course, Shi An knew that this porridge could not be boiled by the child in front of him, even if Gongzi took him in, but his whereabouts were unknown, Gongzi's food, clothing, housing and transportation were all taken care of by the old people in the house, and it was not the turn of a child who had just entered the house to interfere when he went out.

He just felt that Xue Nuo had this heart, at least he knew how to rely on it, and he also knew how to repay his kindness, so he naturally didn't mind saying good things about him in front of his son-in-law.

"Childe, don't you know, he woke up before dawn, swept the sewage in the yard clean, even cleaned up the weeds on the courtyard wall, and went to the kitchen to help carry water."

"I heard Uncle Luo say that he still wanted to cook for you, but he accidentally injured his hand, so Uncle Luo took him to see the stove."

When Shen looked at her, Xue Nuo subconsciously put his hands behind his back.

"Hand out."

"I'm fine, I just accidentally ......"

Shen frowned: "Hand." ”

Xue Nuo was startled by his cold face, and then hesitantly stretched out his hand.

Shen Ke's eyes were first attracted by the layer of calluses in her palms, and he didn't see the injury for a moment before looking up at her.

Xue Nuo's scalp was numb from his staring, and he shrank his eyes and wanted to say that he was fine, but he couldn't take his eyes off Shen Ke, so he could only reach out and pull up his sleeves, and then he saw a burn mark on Ruyu's forearm, and there were bulging transparent bubbles on it.

"How?" Shen asked in a deep voice.

"I accidentally touched the ...... cooktop"

Xue Nuo's voice was very small, as if he was uncomfortable, he quickly pulled off his sleeves, took a small breath when he touched the bubbles, and then looked up when the tip of his nose was a little red,

"I'm fine, Brother Shi has already given me an ointment for burns, and I can just put it on for two days."

After she finished speaking, she quickly glanced at Shen Ke,

“…… Don't be angry, Childe. ”

Shen was a little uncomfortable with such a timid Xue Nuo, he had seen him in his dreams with the most eyebrows and eyes after he grew up, and he had also seen his fierceness in that dark alley.

He always felt that children should not be like this, but he couldn't say why he shouldn't be like this.

Looking at her slightly lowered eyes, he said: "I didn't let you do these things when I left you in the house, the kitchen business has its own kitchen people to do......"

Before he finished speaking, the child on the other side suddenly twisted his fingers, and hung his head as if he was about to cry when his jaw was tight.

Shen suddenly felt a sense of weakness, and put on the headbands hanging down on both sides of her head, inexplicably feeling as if she was bullying others with big and small forces.

He changed his voice and said, "In the future, you will be the one who serves in my yard, as long as you do the things I have explained, take care of my food and clothing, and you don't have to worry about other things." ”

He looked at the child's hidden hand,

"If you hurt your hand, how are you going to serve me?"

Xue Nuo raised his head violently, his eyes were shining, did Childe mean to let her serve?

Shen was stared at awkwardly by her, turned his head to Shi An and said, "Don't serve the meal yet!" ”

Shi An snickered: "Childe, I still have to do what you explained last night, Arnold, don't serve Childe yet." ”

He squeezed his eyes at Xue Nuo, gave her a clever look, and then said to Shen Qi,

"Childe, I'll go first."

Shen watched Shi An stuff the spoon into Xue Nuo's hand, and then ran away with a smoke, while the child looked at him with a blank look full of expectations: "Childe, I'll serve you dinner?" ”

Shen scolded Shi An in his heart, what else could he do.

"Sheng."

I'll clean him up when Shi An rolls back!

After Xue Nuo got his words, it was like he had made some promise, and his eyes were glowing with joy when his lips were upturned, even if he tried to hide his thoughts, but when he lowered his head to make vegetables for him, there was still a shallow pear vortex on the side of his mouth, but he couldn't see the previous haze at all.

Shen couldn't help but take a second look, and when his eyes fell on her slightly drooping side face, there were doubts and doubts in his eyes, and there were some indescribable complexities and puzzles.

Before he could think clearly, he saw Xue Nuo suddenly turn his head towards him and ask, "Does Childe eat spicy?" ”

"Eat."

She lowered her head again, the ends of her hair dangling from the back of her head, carefully arranging the dish on the plate before pushing it to him.

Shen Ke then regained his senses, took the rice bowl and ate it.

When Jiang Cheng came in, Shen was picking up a piece of spicy pickled radish, and when he saw his footsteps hurrying over, and Xue Nuo, who was still serving him just now, couldn't help but look towards the door, and he also put down the dishes and chopsticks.

When Jiang Cheng entered the house, he saw a half-grown child standing next to his son-in-law, and he was stunned: "Son, who is this?" ”

"He's Xerno." Shen said.

Jiang Cheng couldn't help but widen his eyes, and glanced up and down at Xue Nuo, it was difficult to see the white and beautiful young man in front of him as the little beggar who almost killed Chai Chunhua with a short knife last night.

He has also seen a lot of good-looking people in Beijing, such as his own son, whose appearance is first-class, and for example, the little son of King Kang's Mansion in Beijing, who has always been known for his beauty, is only thirteen years old, which is already amazing, but the young man in front of him still makes him feel amazing.

If it weren't for the simplicity of the clothes he wore and he was dressed plainly, at first glance he really thought he was a pampered son of a wealthy family.

"How's that going on over there?"

Shen saw that Jiang Cheng had been staring at Xue Nuo, and couldn't help but interrupt.

Jiang Cheng hurriedly came back to his senses, and couldn't help but cough and said: "I took people to salvage near the dock overnight according to Gongzi's instructions, but I didn't find anything, and people have been sent to look for it near the coast, but there is no news coming back." ”

"It rained heavily in the town last night, and there was an undercurrent in the river near the wharf, and the nearby boats have avoided it, and Miss Xue is probably ......"

As he spoke, he saw that Xue Nuo's face was pale, and he couldn't bear to say the words later.

I'm afraid that Xue Yu is really gone.

Xue Nuo bit his lip tightly, pinched the wood rhino incense beads on his wrist and held back his tears, and then whispered: "Is my sister unable to find it?" ”

Jiang Cheng didn't know how to reply.

Shen was also silent for a while, he looked at the child with a pale face and crumbling, and said, "I will let people continue to look for ......."

"No need."

Xue Nuo said in a dumb voice, "The Lingjiang River is so big, and my sister doesn't know how to water, I should have known that she couldn't find it back." She endured it and endured it, but she couldn't hold back her tears, she wiped it in a hurry and hung her head and cried, "Childe, I want to go to the dock to see." ”

Shen watched her cry and speak unsteadily, and couldn't help but feel uncomfortable in his heart: "Let Jiang Cheng accompany you." ”

"No need, I want to go see my sister myself......"

She hung her head and tears fell from her eyes, "I'm not going to run." ”

Shen didn't think that Xue Nuo would run, if she could, she wouldn't insist on staying last night when he reminded him that the deed of sale was invalid, and he couldn't get out of Xue Yan's death.

If he hadn't suddenly seen Xue Nuo, he deliberately prevented Xue Nuo from entering the Hu family's errand because of those things in his dream.

Xue Nuo would not have an argument with someone in front of the Hu family, and he would not go to Chunxiang Mansion to fight Liu Gongzi's idea in order to find something to eat.

If she had returned to Guanyin Temple early, Xue Yu might not have been deceived, let alone abducted in front of the Hu family.

The child's crying made him feel guilty and uncomfortable, and he said, "Okay. ”

Xue Nuo wiped his tears, and when he turned around and ran out, Jiang Cheng said, "Childe, do you want me to come and have a look?" ”

"No, you don't."

Shen finished speaking in a deep voice, and the atmosphere in the room was extremely dull for a while.

Jiang Cheng looked at Shen but didn't dare to speak with a calm look, and always felt that Childe's attitude towards Na Xue Nuo was a little unusual: "Childe, do you want to continue on the dock?" ”

Shen remembered what Xue Nuo had just said, lowered his eyes and said, "No need, send someone to inform the nearby government offices along the coast to help keep an eye on anyone who has returned from Lingjiang." ”

Even though he knew that there was little hope, he still hoped that Xue Yu would have a glimmer of life.

Jiang Cheng also knew that it was useless for Childe to do this, but he still seriously agreed to Childe's explanation: "Don't worry, Childe, I will let people do it." ”

The two talked in the room for a while, and there were footsteps outside hurriedly, Jiang Cheng looked out of the door, and saw Shi An rushing in with a anxious face.

"What's the matter, so rushed?" Jiang Chengdao.

Shi An didn't reply directly, but glanced into the room first: "What about Xue Nuo?" ”

Jiang Cheng said: "He went to the dock. ”

Shen saw Shi An come in and asked Xue Nuo first, and couldn't help frowning: "What's wrong." ”

"Something happened to the Hu family next door."

Shi An breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Xue Nuo was not there, and then said urgently to Shen Ke,

"I just followed the instructions of the son, and planned to send Chai Chunhua to the Hu family before sending him to the county government, but who knew that when I went, I saw the Hu family in a mess, and after inquiring, I learned that the second son of the Hu family was abolished."

"Scrapped?" Shen was slightly stunned.

Shi An nodded and said urgently: "It was said that he was pulled out of his tongue and picked his tendons, and even his eyes were blind, and when the people in his yard found him in the morning, he only had one breath left, and the whole house was bloody." ”

"When?" Shen asked.

"I think it was after we left last night."

Shi An's face was extremely bad, "The people from the county government have gone to the Hu family, the Hu family is in a mess, Hu Shenglin's face was very ugly when he saw me, and the Hu lady was even more crying, pointing to our willow garden." ”

Shen Ke's mind flashed Xue Nuo's face inexplicably.

He pursed his lips and quickly shook off the face in his mind, knowing that no matter who did it right now, the Hu family would probably suspect that it was him.

He only came to the door last night, and Hu Rong had an accident, how could there be such a coincidental thing in this world.

Shen's face sank, and he said to Shi An: "What about Chai Chunhua?" ”

"It's still out there for people to watch."

"Take the people into custody first, and send someone back to the capital secretly."

Although Shi An didn't know why Gongzi had changed his mind, he still nodded and agreed.

Shen Qiyuan wanted to say something, but before he could speak, someone outside reported that it was the people from the county government and the Hu family who asked to see him outside the Liuyuan Gate.
