Chapter 8: The Fragrance of Peach and Plum in March (2)

"Oops, cousin." Xiahou Wandai looked at the basket that had been filled, and most of the plums scattered on the ground, and said in embarrassment: "There are so many plums, this basket can't fit at all, what should I do, do I have to run a few more times to get a few more baskets?" ”

"Alas!" Du Zhiqing looked at the plums in the field and sighed, "I originally planned to pick a few more plums for my father and uncle to taste, but this time, it is really too much, there can't be more." ”

"Who would have thought that this harvest would be a tree, and it would not even fit in such a large basket. Alas, what can be done then? Forget it, let's go back and get a few more baskets, we can only move them a few more times. ”

"It doesn't have to be so much trouble." Mo Jianchen shook his head and stopped Xiahou Wandai: "We can transport these plums back like this." ”

As he spoke, he untied his cloak and tied it into a burden: "Just put the plums here and move them back, so why make so many more trips?" ”

"You ......" After Mo Jianchen took off his cloak, there was only a thin layer of small clothes left on his body, the coldness of this spring has not faded, his clothes are so thin, I am afraid that he will inevitably catch a cold.

Du Zhiqing hesitated: "It's still so cold now, aren't you afraid of contracting the wind chill?" ”

Mo Jianchen shook his head and smiled indifferently, don't worry, your brother Chen's body has always been tough, what can this be counted? ”

When he said this, even his own heart rejoiced. No matter how hard this little girl is, she still cares about herself in her heart.

As he spoke, he picked up the plums from the ground, put them in the baggage he had tied with his cloak and said to them, "What are you waiting for, hurry up!" ”

"Okay then." Seeing that he had already taken action, Du Zhiqing also nodded and agreed, and together with Xiahou Wandai, he picked up the plums one by one and put them in the baggage.

"Oh, it's so heavy!" Large and small plums are packed together, there can be dozens or hundreds, Du Zhiqing raised his hand to carry it, and couldn't help but feel a little difficult.

"Come on, I'll do it!" Mo Jianchen stopped her, and picked up the burden first: "You two are both eldest ladies who don't stain spring water, this kind of physical work should be done by a man like me, so you can rest first." ”

Du Zhiqing couldn't help laughing in his heart, he was really a fool, even the analogy was so outrageous. She and Wan Dai are both tiger girls who have practiced martial arts since childhood, how can you say that your fingers are not stained with spring water?

The clear wave in her eyes turned, and she lowered her eyebrows slightly, feeling a little funny, "We are both martial arts practitioners, how can you compare ordinary women with us." ”

"This plum is a little sinking, but what can it be considered to us, don't you, do you think the two of us can't even lift this little thing?"

"Of course not!" Mo Jianchen smiled lightly, and there was only heartiness in his smile, "I know that it is impossible for the two of you to lift these things, but with me as a man, it is impossible for you women to do it." ”

"Even if you are martial arts practitioners, you are also women, as long as you are women, you should be taken care of, right?"

His face was full of sincerity, such open-mindedness and sincerity could not be disguised, Du Zhiqing looked at him and did not speak. But inexplicably my heart warmed, why is this?

Seeing that she didn't speak, Mo Jianchen smiled lightly again and blinked, "Okay, okay, you tell me where these plums are going, let's hurry up." ”

Du Zhiqing did not refuse his kindness again this time: "Send it to the main hall, leave it to my mother and uncle to quench their thirst, they should go back after practicing." ”

"Okay!" Mo Jianchen replied loudly, and said to Du Zhiqing again: "Sister Zhiqing, you carry that basket, I carry this burden, let's go quickly!" ”

As he spoke, he lifted the burden, and at that moment, his eyes fell on the fallen leaves all over the courtyard, and his eyebrows couldn't help but move, as if he thought of something, and in an instant, he put down the burden he had just lifted.

"Wait a minute!"

"What's wrong?" Du Zhiqing was surprised.

Looking at the fallen leaves in that place, Mo Jianchen condensed: "The leaves in this place have dirty this yard, and it doesn't look neat and elegant at all, let's clean it up before leaving." ”

When he turned back and saw a large broom standing beside the wall, he went over, picked it up, and carefully swept up the fallen leaves in the yard.

"Sister Zhiqing, Senior Sister Wandai, you wait for me for a while, and when I finish cleaning, I will go to the main hall with you."

"You...... You don't have to do it yourself. Seeing that he personally cleaned the fallen leaves, Du Zhiqing's eyes not only showed a slight surprise: "This yard will be cleaned by people every day, and when we leave, they will naturally come to take care of it, why do you have to do it yourself?" ”

Mo Jianchen raised his head and smiled at Du Zhiqing: "Of course I know that there will be subordinates to take care of it, but this yard is dirty by me, so it is natural that I should clean it myself, I have hands and feet, why should I rely on subordinates for everything." ”

"Everything doesn't have to have a beginning and an end, how can there be a mess you cause, and let others clean it up, don't you say? You two wait for me for a while, and I'll go with you as soon as I'm done. ”

With that, he continued to clean up in earnest.

Looking at his earnestly sweeping figure, Du Zhiqing fell silent, and the autumn waves in his eyes flowed gently for a week, looking thoughtful.

is so serious and sincere, he is completely different from the swinger he first met on Lemin Street, as if he has returned to the appearance of the sensible and considerate Brother Chen when he was a teenager.

He has a beginning and an end, and his heart is full of righteousness, so he does look like a decent man and a gentleman.

"Alright, it's all clean." After cleaning, Mo Jianchen put the broom back in its place, picked up the burden again, and said to Du Zhiqing: "Let's go quickly!" ”

As everyone knows, Du Zhiqing fell into deep thought, and he couldn't hear what he said.

Seeing this, Mo Jianchen called again: "Sister Zhiqing, Sister Zhiqing!" ”

"Ahh Du Zhiqing was pulled back to his thoughts by this call, but when he saw that he had already cleaned the courtyard, he couldn't help but be stunned: "Ah, you finished sweeping, this ...... So fast, huh? ”

"I'm done." Seeing her stunned expression, Mo Jianchen couldn't help but wonder, exploring her expression: "Sister Zhiqing, what do you think, think so engrossedly, I called you several times, but you can't hear it." ”

"Ah, nothing!" came back to his senses, but Du Zhiqing blushed involuntarily, how could he let him know that he was thinking about him just now.

She hurriedly lifted the basket to cover up her shyness, and hurriedly said, "Come back to the main hall!" ”

After saying that, she hurried forward with the basket and did not even look back.

"Hey, cousin, wait for me!" Seeing this, Xiahou Wandai also hurriedly followed.

Looking at her hurried look, but a little cute, Mo Jianchen couldn't help but smile: "Alas, this little girl is really inexplicable!" ”

With that, he shook his head, picked up the burden on the ground, and followed the footsteps of the two of them into the main hall together.

"Oops, it's finally here!"

Luanxiang Pavilion was huge, and it took two quarters of an hour to walk from the courtyard of the game to the main hall.

No matter how good Mo Jianchen's physical strength was, carrying such a heavy bag of plums, he walked such a long way without any stopping, and he couldn't help but feel his arms sore.

He put down the bag of plums, shook his hands, and then turned his head again: "Sister Zhiqing, it's here, right?" ”

"Hmm." Du Zhiqing nodded: "Just let it go, and the elders will be able to see it when they come back." ”

"Eh, Senior Brother Mo, ......" At this moment, Xiahou Wanda happened to see the red and swollen mark on Mo Jianchen's forehead, so he asked in surprise: "Senior Brother Mo, why is your forehead so red and swollen, what's the matter, is it injured?" ”

"Ah, I'm ......" was asked by her like this, Mo Jianchen couldn't help but be speechless, and he didn't know how to answer.

Since you promised Du Zhiqing not to tell anyone that she was beaten by her, you can't tell the truth to Xiahou Wandai, right?

He quietly glanced at Du Zhiqing's gaze, but Du Zhiqing didn't have any expression, his brain was running extremely fast, so he could only make a reason, "Ah...... Yes, it's me, it's me who didn't look at the road when I practiced today, and I accidentally hit a tree, um, that's why, that's why I hit my forehead red, well, that's it......"

He was not good at lying, but even when he told a lie, he was stumbling and stumbling, unable to speak, his eyes dodged left and right, and he knew that he was weak at a glance.

"Oops, forget it." Looking at his hesitant appearance, Du Zhiqing couldn't help but look at it, glared at him, and pouted: "Look at your appearance." You're usually used to flamboyant tongues, but you can't even make up a lie now. ”

"Wan Dai is my cousin, what do you have to hide from her?"

After she said that, she said bluntly to Xiahou Wandai: "Wandai, you don't have to doubt it, the wound on his head was shot by me, and I shot it with a slingshot." ”

"What?" Xiahou Wandai couldn't help but be shocked, although her cousin was willful, she was not such a person who didn't know how to measure, she glanced at the redness and swelling on Mo Jianchen's forehead again, a little incredible: "Cousin, the stones shot by the slingshot will hurt very much when they hit people, why would you use the slingshot to hit Senior Brother Mo?" ”

Du Zhiqing pursed the corners of his mouth, a little guilty on his face, but also a little helpless: "I didn't want to hit him originally, I just wanted to drive him away, who knew that he didn't know how to hide, so he was beaten like this, so what can I do?" ”
