Chapter 13: Kneeling in the Rain
Next to the eaves of the ancestral hall of Longyi Villa, the path winds to the inner hall, and the raised pebbles are covered with moss and polished smooth.
Facing the door of the ancestral hall, a person knelt on the stone road.
"Without my permission, it's wrong to go out of the village without permission."
"As a righteous brother, it is wrong not to know how to admonish my sister and let her behave indiscriminately."
"Knowing mistakes and making mistakes, adding mistakes to mistakes." The back of the purple-clothed body was cold and indifferent: "Go to the ancestral hall door and kneel for three days!" β
Long Yun knelt respectfully, without the slightest transgression.
After a while, Shan Liye knelt beside him.
Long Yun was surprised: "Why is Miss here?" β
Shan Liye replied lightly: "Come and accompany you." β
Long Yun lowered his head: "Madam only blamed me, and did not punish Miss, Miss, please go back." β
"She didn't listen to my explanation, I told her two sentences, what can I do wrong with going out of the village?" Shan Liye raised his head and hummed slightly: "I'm not wrong." β
"I'm kneeling here, not giving in to her." Shan Liye straightened his back arrogantly: "One person does things and one person does things, it affects you, it's me who can't stand you, when you kneel, when I will accompany you." β
"My business has nothing to do with Miss, it's my own volition." Long Yun whispered: "Miss shouldn't be so ......"
"Well, don't be too impressed." Shan Liye suddenly smiled slyly: "You are new here, maybe you don't understand, I am telling you with my actions what will happen to those who stay with me." β
"What consequences?"
"The next time, or the next time, if such a thing happens, it will be you kneeling alone, and I will not accompany you." Shan Liye Wener smiled: "This time, it should be to teach you a long lesson." β
Long Yun was calm and calm, without emotion: "That's why Miss has no friends." β
"This is the first time I've been punished with someone." Shan Liye smiled: "So, do you want to be my friend?" β
Long Yun had to say in his heart that Madame's means are powerful, no matter what the eldest lady of the Long family does wrong, she will only punish the people around her, and never punish her, so in the past, no one will be willing to get close to her.
Everyone said that she didn't like people, didn't like words, had a cold personality, and was alone.
But it's clear ...... She's so active and chattering......
She especially likes to laugh, in just one day, he doesn't know how many times he has seen her smile, but no matter how gentle and innocent her smile is, it is never really happy, disguised and disguised, she should be very good.
I've only known him for a day, and I want to be friends with him.
Long Yun replied, "No." β
Shan Liye's smile dissipated and he didn't speak again.
After kneeling for three days, the two of them no longer had any talk, no eye contact, kneeling silently, and being punished silently.
And on the third day, it rained heavily.
Shan Liye's clothes were already soaked all over his body, and the white dress was rubbed out of cyan traces by the pebbles.
Long Yun is not much better than her, he has injuries on his body, under the erosion of the rain, the medicine marks were washed clean, the wound was cracked again, the bright color, spread to the surrounding area faster, and the white gauze was like a red dye vat.
The first two days of dressing change and recuperation were all in vain.
Still, he never snorted, never cried out in pain.
Shan Liye hated the rain a little.
Yu'er couldn't bear it, so she got a cloak for her, and the umbrella was propped up above her head, the wind and rain were too strong, and Yu'er almost couldn't hold the umbrella handle: "Miss, let's go into the house to avoid the rain first, don't be angry with Mrs., your body is important." β
Because she knelt for too long, her legs were a little numb, and she hadn't eaten for three days, when Shan Liye got up, her head was groggy, but fortunately, Yu'er struggled to soothe her.
Long Yun swallowed the rain that flowed with him.
thought to herself, she couldn't hold it anymore after all.
So he began to close his eyes and recuperate.
After a long time, Long Yun noticed that the rain above his head suddenly decreased, and he thought that the wind and rain had stopped, but the rustling echo in his ears, the raindrops sounded, and his intuition told him that something was wrong.
He opened his eyes and rarely looked up.
Shan Liye was dressed in a white cloak, standing next to him, holding a show umbrella in one hand, covering his head tightly, blocking the wind and rain for him.
Long Yun's expression was a little more restrained, and his lips stained with water beads started slightly: "Miss, why bother." β
"I don't like to owe favors." She just took care of him for the sake of bleeding too much and being afraid that he would really die, Shan Liye smiled warmly: "Anyway, it's the last time." β
She still likes to laugh like that, people can't see what the intention is, even if she is poked by him, she is not angry, she can't be a friend, but she can't owe favors.
Long Yun, who was kneeling straight, resisted her 'care'. Shan Liye looked under him: "Do you particularly want to blame me?" β
blame her, a person who doesn't have any rights, take him out of the village, blame her for ignoring life and death, act willfully, blame her for letting him get hurt, blame her for not having any ability to defend him, she can only use such a touching way as kneeling.
"I'm blaming myself, I didn't do my job." He wiped the rain from his lips and lowered his head: "I only care about my own selfishness and leave the young lady in the crowd, if it weren't for Qin Chuxiao's timely appearance, the consequences would be unimaginable." β
This is the reason why he really admitted his mistake.
This is something that Shan Liye never thought about.
His forbearant and murderous eyes at that time, such irrational approach, and such impulsive behavior really surprised her.
Shan Liye moved his umbrella slightly, and covered him tightly: "You and that killer are enemies?" β
Long Yun didn't answer for a long time.
Shan Liye was interested: "I don't want to say it, and I don't ask." β
One hour, two hours passed......
Her knees had been rubbed by the pebbles, and now she stood straight, her legs trembling slightly and aching. Shan Liye shivered, looked up at the sky, and there was still some time before the punishment kneeling was over.
It's hard.
Long Yun felt the discomfort of the people around him, and his voice was faint and indifferent: "Miss, let's go back first." β
This punishment is that she is accompanying him.
She can leave anytime, anywhere.
"I've persevered until now, and if I leave, won't it make people laugh." Shan Liye lowered his eyes and smiled.
"You...... Is it really okay? β
For the first time, Long Yun actually took the initiative to care.
"It's a small thing, and the suffering I've suffered before is much more serious than this." Feeling his untender concern, Shan Liye inhaled a few breaths of refreshing air, and his smile remained undiminished, as if he was comforting him and comforting himself: "There is still half an hour, you have to hold on, if you faint, I can't hold you back." β
Carry him back......
Long Yun suddenly had a rare smile on his face.
Only she dares to say this, she is indeed a little different from others.
Shan Liye was frightened: "It turns out that you can laugh." β
Long Yun retracted slightly, returned to his former cold color, and suddenly asked, "What did Miss suffer before?" β
Shan Liye sighed: "It's a long story. β
Long Yun understood, that is, he didn't want to say it.
Could it be that Madame abused her in any other way?
Soon, Shan Liye finally couldn't laugh, gritted his teeth, endured the pain in his knees, the most tormenting moment in the world is counting the time, at this moment Shan Liye is in dire straits, silently waiting for that moment to come.
If she doesn't hurry, her legs will be ruined.
She couldn't help but ask herself, why was she so stubborn for this little kid who didn't want to be her friend?
"The hour has come." Long Yun's long-lost voice sounded.
Shan Liye was relieved.
Trying to lift up and walk two steps, she didn't know that after standing for a long time, her legs were already unconscious, and she had no strength to support, and she almost fell to the ground.
A pair of hands appeared in time, wrapping around her waist, and before Shan Liye could fully react, her body was already off the ground, and under the umbrella she was holding, her whole person had been hugged in front of Long Yunheng.
Wait a minute.
Shan Liye was surprised: "Your knees are made of iron?" You don't hurt? β
"Those who practice martial arts know how to protect."
The flat voice, thinking of it above her head, Shan Liye suddenly felt a little remorseful, unlike her, she really knelt stupidly for three days!
Long Yun hugged her and walked in the direction of the small courtyard, speechless all the way.
Shan Liye had the illusion that Long Yun had never been a child, as if he was more like a steady adult than her, and his cold and deep eyes were really not suitable for such an age.
Once when she was twelve years old, she lived a life in a relatively good welfare home, relying on other people's supplies, because someone sponsored her to study, so that she never thought about things outside the welfare home, completely naΓ―ve, a carefree child......
Until that thing......
After entering the house, Long Yun laid her flat on the bed, and Yu'er sent Jinchuang medicine and a basin of water in time, and turned over the boxes and cabinets to prepare dry clothes for her.
Long Yun gently twisted the cloth and wiped away the rain stains on her face one by one.
Shan Liye lay quietly and looked at him leisurely, as if it was rare to see him so careful, but even so, he didn't have any feelings, as if he was just doing something mechanically.
But in Yu'er's eyes, this thing is unusual.
The two are young, and when they get along in the future, they will be childhood sweethearts, and the owner's remarks obviously want the two to have a good impression of each other.
These two people...... Live up to the owner's expectations.
They are still young and ignorant, and feelings are the most easy weapons to break people's hearts.
Long Yun put down the cloth, adjusted the medicine, and was about to start applying the medicine to her, his hand stopped, looking at her injured place - the skin was broken, and the fishy red stained white knee.
If you want to help her with the dressing, wouldn't it be......
Strip her clothes first?
Long Yun finally realized that his actions had overstepped, and he stood up leisurely.
Shan Liye burst into laughter and pointed to the golden medicine on the plate: "Why don't you continue?" β
"If Miss doesn't mind, I'll ......"
"I don't mind." Shan Liye saw his behavior thoroughly, he really just wanted to help her with the medicine, without the slightest idea.
"I'm acting arrogantly, don't blame Miss."
Shan Liye's eyes were clear, staring at the injury in front of his abdomen, a little worried: "You go back and deal with your injuries well, don't leave any illnesses, in case someone says that I bullied the new brother for no reason, I can't explain it clearly, although I am not a friend, but I can be a good sister who feels distressed." β
Brother?
Younger sister?
Long Yun thought about it seriously, although he didn't recognize his son Shangzong, he was nominally her brother-in-law, and it seemed right to call him a brother.
"Then I'll go first, Miss rest and recuperate."
"And yes." Shan Liye's voice was quiet: "I said it, I don't like the title of Miss, you are not allowed to call it again." β
Long Yun didn't speak again.
Shan Liye raised the corners of her eyebrows, this person is really boring, Yu'er said that she could play with him, but this obviously made her thankless, kneeling with him for three days, without saying anything at all.
After being a child for three months, she suddenly became a little childish: "Let's go, let's go, I'm going to sleep." β
She rolled over and lay down, and Long Yun glanced at her back before leaving.
