Volume 1: The Autumn Wind Rises Chapter 40 Igniting Hope
At noon, Guangcha Village.
Hu family, guest room cottage.
The scorching sunlight shined through the window and shone directly on Xiao Beichen's face.
At this time, he frowned slightly and slowly opened his eyes.
Xiao Beichen got up and sat in a daze, his hair was full of hair, and he looked sleepy-eyed.
"Alas, why do you dream about the past again?" He stroked his forehead and said to himself.
The next moment, Dou Fei broke through the window paper and quickly passed in front of Xiao Beichen's eyes!
Bean Fei spun around and hovered in the air, shouting at him incessantly.
"Stinky little ghost! Did you know you slept for two days? Pigs can't sleep with you! β
"Huh? It's been so long. He rubbed his eyes and whispered back.
"Hurry up! Do you want to complete the task your dad gave you?! Doufei shouted hurriedly.
Xiao Beichen was upset by Doufei's quarrel before he woke up, he hurriedly put on his coat and said impatiently.
"Ahh I see, you can wait for me outside. β
"Humph! It's annoying! Uncle Ben is too lazy to take care of you all the time! β
With that, Doufei flapped his wings and quickly flew out of the house.
Xiao Beichen paused for a moment and patted his head, intending to sober himself up.
At this time, he straightened his clothes and recalled the events of the recent past.
This time I went out, I really experienced all kinds of dangers, and even almost lost my life several times.
In the past, he lived in a prosperous imperial capital, where singing and dancing were peaceful and the years were quiet, and he once thought that everyone was happy under this world.
didn't expect that the reality would be so cruel and cold, completely subverting his lifelong cognition.
The rivers and lakes are sinister, these four words are really not just talking.
And among these sentient beings, how many people are living in dire straits, and how many people can they help?
For the first time, he felt that his strength was so small, like a drop in the ocean....
After a while, Xiao Beichen washed his face, got ready to go, and came to the small courtyard.
He looked up, and Dou Fei was long gone.
"Doufei, that guy is really, why is he gone."
Just as Xiao Beichen was looking around, a strong smell of medicine came from the big room.
He walked to the front of the room, knocked on the door, and as soon as he entered, he saw Liu Chunying lying on his side on the side of the bed, trying to reach for the medicine bowl on the table.
But Liu Chunying still felt a little difficult to get up, and her arms couldn't reach the table.
"Let me do it." Xiao Beichen hurriedly spoke and walked quickly to the table.
After a while, Liu Chunying took the bowl and slowly drank the decoction, while Xiao Beichen sat on the edge of the bed and looked at her quietly.
Liu Chunying put down the medicine bowl lightly, and her face was much better than before.
"Are you feeling better?" Xiao Beichen asked softly.
"Uh-huh." Liu Chunying nodded and smiled at him: "I'm almost cured, my mother said that this is the last dose of medicine." β
Xiao Beichen sincerely felt glad for her, and said with a happy expression.
"It's nice to see you're okay."
Liu Chunying didn't reply, still smiling at him, and her pretty face flushed.
Suddenly, the atmosphere between the two began to become ambiguous.
Xiao Beichen looked at Liu Chunying's white and red face, felt more and more shy, and shyly turned his head away.
The next moment, Liu Chunying gently held Xiao Beichen's hand.
Her pupils were a little misty, and her pink lips were ajar.
"Beichen, thank you for everything you have done for me. It's good to meet you. β
"Ahh No... You're welcome. Xiao Beichen was shy, and replied in a low voice: "Chunying, you also saved my life, and it is natural to repay your favor." β
At this moment, Liu Chunying's thin eyebrows furrowed, looked at Xiao Beichen tenderly, and held his hand slightly.
"But I... I don't want our relationship to be cleared up. β
"When! Of course not! After hearing this, Xiao Beichen hurriedly shook his head at her, "I still think I have something to discuss with you!" β
"What's the matter?" She looked at him with some confusion.
Xiao Beichen sat up straight and said to Liu Chunying with serious eyes.
"That's right, the old pavilion master of Juewu Mountain is my uncle. His magic power is vast, and his connections and eyeliner are all over the world. If you tell him what happened to you, you might be able to find a clue to who killed your parents. β
Liu Chunying's pupils widened slightly, and she asked in surprise.
"Really... Are you sure?! β
"Hmmm! Absolutely true! Xiao Beichen nodded again and again.
Liu Chunying's eyes were moist, her expression was tearful and grateful, and hope was rekindled in her heart.
I saw that the corners of Xiao Beichen's mouth gradually raised, and he looked at her gently.
"Chunying, would you like to come with me?"
Liu Chunying burst into tears, leaned forward, and leaned her forehead on Xiao Beichen's shoulder.
At this moment, her eyes were lowered, her long eyelashes were half-covered, and her lips slowly opened.
"I do..."
Xiao Beichen's heart rippled, and he stretched out his hand, wanting to wipe her tears.
Suddenly, Hu Cuicui jumped in from outside the door and shouted.
"Ahh What are you two doing?! β
Xiao Beichen was frightened and immediately stood up.
Liu Chunying looked at Hu Cuicui, smiled gently, and said softly.
"Cuicui, did you help my mother today?"
"Of course there is, sister! I went to pick tea with my mother early in the morning, and I picked a big basket! β
Hu Cuicui ran in front of Liu Chunying, jumping excitedly, and almost jumped on the bed.
Liu Chunying touched her head and said with a smile of relief.
"It's so good, our family's Cuicui is really grown up and sensible."
"Hee-hee! Sister, have you drunk the decoction? Hu Cuicui asked with a smile.
"Well, just finished drinking."
"Haha good! Then I'll make you lunch! β
With that, Hu Cuicui turned around and was about to walk to the kitchen.
Liu Chunying hurriedly raised her hand and stopped her.
"Cuicui, you wait."
"Oh? What's wrong sister? β
Hu Cuicui stopped and looked back with a confused expression.
"It's better to wait for my mother to come back, let her help you." Yoo Chun-young explained.
"Oops! No! Sister, don't worry. I can do it myself! Hu Cuicui rolled up her sleeves and said to her as she walked to the kitchen: "What's more, my mother is very busy today, and she has to attend the funeral with other people in the village." β
"Funeralβ" she hesitated.
Suddenly, Liu Chunying's heart tightened, and friends such as Gui Niu, Ah Qing and Da Zhu all came to her mind.
Liu Chunying immediately lifted the quilt and prepared to get out of bed and go out.
Seeing this, Xiao Beichen hurriedly guarded her and asked with concern.
"Chunying, your body doesn't matter, right? Can you move around? β
"Beichen, no matter what, I must go."
Liu Chunying stood up, stumbled under her feet, and almost didn't stand firmly.
Xiao Beichen hurriedly helped Liu Chunying, he saw that she was so resolute, and it was difficult to persuade her, so he had to speak.
"Slow down Chunying, I'll help you go."
Then, Xiao Beichen supported Liu Chunying and walked out of the house slowly.
