Xiao Nanshan smiled silently.

In the old days, it didn't make much difference whether you were hunting in the mountains or going to the city to catch quickly.

Only now, he works in the city to be able to stay with her every day.

After lunch, the two of them did not delay, and took the sacrifices to the mountains to worship Old Man Xiao.

After Ning Xi's worship, he went to the neighborhood to pick some wild vegetables and let Xiao Nanshan talk to his grandfather alone.

It had rained in the mountains before, and the road was a little slippery, so no matter how careful she was, she slipped on the ground and her legs and arms were scratched a little skin.

Xiao Nanshan saw that the dark clouds were gathering in the sky, and hurriedly stood up to find Ning Xi, for fear that if it rained, she would be caught in the rain.

"Boom—" A muffled thunder rang out, and at the same time a strong wind blew in the mountains.

The rain was dripping from the sky, and Ning Xi felt that the back of his hand was cold, and hurriedly endured the pain in his feet to speed up his steps.

Before she could walk for a while, she heard Xiao Nanshan's shout.

Ning Xi looked for the sound, and in the "dripping" rain curtain, he saw Xiao Nanshan striding over.

"It's raining, let's go down the mountain." Xiao Nanshan grabbed her wrist and wanted to pull her down the mountain, but suddenly saw the mud stains on her clothes.

"You fell?" His hand landed on her arms and turned her around to look at her, "Is there any injury?" ”

"It's just a little bruise, it's okay, let's go quickly." Ning Xi smiled and shook his head.

Xiao Nanshan immediately squatted down in front of her, "I'll carry you home." ”

Ning Xi was not polite to him, and if it dragged on, the rain would only get heavier and heavier.

Lying on Xiao Nanshan's back, she leaned over and put her arms around her neck and pressed her body against his back.

Xiao Nanshan walked very fast and steadily, this man's physical strength is too strong.

The distance home from here was not short, and along the way, the rain became heavier and heavier, and Ning Xi felt a little cold, so he leaned against the back of Xiao Nanshan's neck and drew warmth from him.

"Brother Xiao, are you tired?" Finally out of the mountain, Ning Xi asked in his ear.

Feeling the warm breath spraying in his ears, listening to her sweet voice, Xiao Nanshan unconsciously increased the strength of holding her legs, and grabbed it tightly with both hands.

"Not tired."

"I won't leave you alone next time"

Ning Xi leaned into his ear, "It's okay, it's just a small injury, it doesn't hurt." ”

Xiao Nanshan felt that her thin lips rubbed against her earlobe, her body suddenly stiffened, and her steps couldn't help but speed up.

Ning Xi was put into the room by him, "You change your clothes first, don't get cold, I'll pour hot water for you to bathe." ”

"Oh." When Ning Xi changed his clothes, he found that the wounds on his arms and legs were a little white from the rain.

After taking a bath, Xiao Nanshan entered the room with a medicine box.

"It might hurt a little." He half-crouched down in front of Ning Xi and looked at the wound on her leg.

Ning Xi chuckled, "I'm not afraid, Brother Xiao." ”

Xiao Nanshan carefully helped her dress the wound, and then looked at the swollen ankle, "It's a sprain here, you have to rub it with medicinal wine, otherwise you won't be able to walk tomorrow." ”

"Oh." Ning Xi looked at Xiao Nanshan's side face.

Xiao Nanshan stretched out a hand to hold her injured ankle, although his hand was warm, she subconsciously shrank back.

"Don't move, you have to take the medicine quickly."

He poured the oil into his palm, then quickly pressed it against her ankle, rubbing it a little harder.

Xiao Nanshan's palms are large and his fingers are powerful, probably a former Orion, and his fingertips are calloused.

It has a strong presence when rubbing.

"Hiss~" Ning Xi gasped quietly, "Lighter."

When Xiao Nanshan heard her voice, his expression froze slightly, and his body tensed for a moment.

When he raised his head, he met her innocent eyes.

"Hmm." Xiao Nanshan responded, lowered his head and continued to rub it, but his hands were a little lighter.

His eyes were always on her ankles, fair and slender, very different from the complexion of his large hands.

"Does it still hurt?"

Ning Xi moved a few times, "Well, it doesn't hurt much." ”

Xiao Nanshan stood up, "Then you rest for a while, I'll go cook, and cook a bowl of ginger soup by the way." ”

"Hmm." Xu was drenched in the rain, and Ning Xi was a little dizzy lying on the bed.

Xiao Nanshan entered the stove room and stewed another chicken and dried mushrooms brought back from the city into a soup.

The ginger soup boiling in the small stove was ready, and he took out a bowl and brought it to Ning Xi.

When Ning Xi was sleeping in a daze, he heard Xiao Nanshan's call.

"Xi'er, get up and drink some ginger soup."

Ning Xi opened her eyes, Xiao Nanshan put down the bowl, bent her head and pulled her hands around her neck, "Get up." ”

Wrapping her arms around her neck, she sat up.

"It's so bad"

Xiao Nanshan looked at her frowning brows, and said with a smile: "Drink, if you get sick in the rain, it will be even more uncomfortable." ”

"Hmm." Ning Xi leaned on Xiao Nanshan's shoulder and drank half a bowl of ginger soup, "I can't finish it." ”

Xiao Nanshan took the bowl and drank all the remaining ginger soup.

"You sleep a little longer, and I'll call you when the meal is ready."

Ning Xi lay down and said "um".

Outside the house, it was pouring rain and thunder roaring.

In the evening, it was already very dark.

Ning Xi got up and drank a bowl of chicken soup, and had no appetite to eat.

Xiao Nanshan cleaned up and returned to the room, thinking she was asleep.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he came in, the person on the bed opened his eyes.

Ning Xi stretched out his hand and patted the bed next to him, "Come and sleep, it's raining today, and it's cold by the window." ”

Xiao Nanshan was stunned for a moment, nodded over, he lifted the quilt and glanced at her before lying down.

Ning Xi turned sideways slightly, looking at the man lying upright on his back in the dim light, and suddenly wanted to laugh in his heart.

Looking at it, my head was really a little dizzy, and I fell asleep before I knew it.

Xiao Nanshan was afraid that she would have a fever in the middle of the night when she was drenched in the rain, so he didn't fall asleep, and reached out to probe her forehead every once in a while.

Don't worry about making sure she's okay.

Unexpectedly, it was almost early in the morning, and the person next to him seemed to move back and forth uncomfortably.

Xiao Nanshan suddenly sobered up, reached out to her forehead, and found that her forehead was hot.

"Cier."

"Is it uncomfortable?"

Ning Xi replied with an "um" and retracted into the quilt.

In autumn, the weather turned colder, and it was raining, but she still couldn't bear it after all, and her body trembled a little.

"I'm a little cold"

Xiao Nanshan listened to her nasal words, and was a little flustered for a while.

He hurriedly fried the medicine he had prepared in advance, and when he returned, he took the person into his arms.

"Still cold?"

Ning Xi felt his chest so warm and drilled.

Xiao Nanshan hugged the person and didn't dare to move at all, but tightened his hands a little.

He looked down at the person in his arms and sighed.

Yesterday there was a heavy rain, and the next day the sky has not yet cleared, and it is still a continuous autumn rain.

The village was silent, except for the drizzling rain falling on the window lattice.

The tall man hugged the girl in his arms without closing his eyes, and his deep eyes fell on her from time to time.
