Xiao Luolan touched her daughter's hair and touched the tears on her cheeks. Her heart couldn't help but hurt. Xiao Qingxue wiped away her tears fiercely. From that day on, she made up her mind not to be weak anymore.
"I will protect grandma from now on." Xiao Qingxue turned over, looked at grandma, and said stubbornly and firmly.
Xiao Luolan looked at her daughter and wiped her tears carefully. It was difficult to describe how Xiao Luolan was feeling at this moment. She was touched, sad, but also remorseful and guilty. All kinds of emotions were hidden in her heart, as heavy as a mountain. Where she can't see, her daughter has grown a lot on her own.
Xiao Qingxue said a lot more. She hadn't seen her mother-in-law for a long time. After she finished speaking, she continued to rest on her body, smelling the delicious aroma of her body. She was tired little by little. I closed my eyes and suddenly heard the hesitant and hoarse voice of Auntie above me.
"...Auntie, are you..." Xiao Luolan looked down at her daughter, unable to say the words stuck in her throat.
"Huh?" Xiao Qingxue woke up and looked at grandma: "What do you want to say?"
"It's nothing. Go to sleep. Grandma will stay with you." Xiao Luolan bent down and kissed her daughter's forehead. Xiao Qingxue covered her eyebrows. Grandma hadn't done this to her for a long time. She smiled and her eyes Bright like stars.
Xiao Luolan looked at her daughter and patted her back gently.
Not long after, Xiao Qingxue fell asleep. Before going to bed, she stubbornly held her mother's arm and refused to let her leave. Xiao Luolan lay on the bed and opened the curtains with her hands. It was bright outside and the sun shone in through the screen window. , a field of water chestnuts.
Xiao Luolan looked at it for a while and slowly closed her eyes.
The daylight moves and dusk falls quietly.
When Zhou Xu entered the room and waved away the gauze curtain, he saw that his wife and daughter were still sleeping. The two were sleeping deeply with their heads leaning against each other. There were traces of sleep on the daughter's face. The wife's breathing was much calmer and quieter in her sleep. Zhou Xu raised the gauze curtain, then sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Madam without blinking.
He met Madam's eyes inadvertently.
Xiao Luolan actually woke up when he heard footsteps.
Zhou Xu looked back at his wife.
Xiao Luolan's eyelashes fluttered and she realized that the beard of Sect Leader Zhou had grown a lot. It may have been a long time since he had taken care of it. It was messy, his eyes were black and there were large and small traces of wind and frost on his face. Xiao Luolan looked at it. , with some warmth in his eyes.
With his daughter present, Zhou Xu only lightly touched the corner of his wife's eyes with his fingertips. His increasingly majestic and cold face was now full of tenderness. He lowered his voice and asked: "I haven't eaten for a day. Are you hungry? You should also take some medicine." Changed."
The voice woke up Xiao Qingxue. Xiao Qingxue rubbed her eyes, looked at her father, and then looked at the dim sky outside the window: "Is it evening?"
"Yes, it's time to get up." Zhou Xu teased his daughter and then said, "The meal is ready. It's in the hall next door."
"Thank you, dad." Although she was reluctant to leave, Xiao Qingxue still went out obediently. She had been with her mother for so long, and now she should give it to her father.
Xiao Luolan took a nap and felt much better.
As soon as she stood up, she was hugged by someone. The familiar strength and smell made her startled for a moment, and then she hugged him back slightly unfamiliarly. She seemed to rarely do this to Zhou Lang.
Zhou Xu's hand tightened a little, and it took a while before he let go.
"Madam, just sit on the bed, and I will feed her." Zhou Xu said. Without waiting for Madam to speak, he moved the small table to the bedside. There was fish fillet porridge at a suitable temperature on the table. Before Madam woke up, Zhou Xu had asked the doctor to give it to her. Madam has been diagnosed and treated, but her body is very weak and cannot be replenished for the time being.
It had been a long time since he had seen him and he had even forgotten about him, but Xiao Luolan found a sense of familiarity in the overbearing concern of Sect Master Zhou.
the other side.
When Xiao Qingxue went to the hall to eat, she thought of Amu, so she asked him to eat with her. Unexpectedly, Amu and the others were in the place where prisoners were detained. Wei Guogong was gone, and there were still some people in Luoyang Palace who needed to be carefully interrogated. Among them One of them was Wei Yanshan's old housekeeper. Xiao Qingxue didn't pay much attention at first, until the old housekeeper said something that shouldn't be said in anger.
Xiao Qingxue stared at the old housekeeper, and her ears were still ringing with the story that Princess Youzhou and his father-in-law often traveled together and stayed together.
Tuoba Mu's first reaction was to gag the old housekeeper.
"Amu."
Madam Xiao called him, and Tuoba Mu turned around.
Xiao Qingxue's beautiful face was cold, and her words were also cold: "Kill him."
Tuoba Mu was stunned for a moment, then drew his knife and killed the old housekeeper.
Xiao Qingxue looked down at the blood stains spreading to her feet: "Amu."
Tuoba Mu hummed.
"Let's go and eat."
"good."
Tuoba Mu was actually a little worried. There were too many people in Luoyang Palace, and the general’s hands and eyes could reach the sky...
Inside the room, Zhou Xu sat closer and brought a spoonful of porridge over.
Xiao Luolan lowered his head and took a spoonful.
Zhou Xu couldn't help but kiss the side of his wife's face.
"Is it delicious?" Zhou Xu asked.
"It's delicious." Xiao Luolan said, her expression was light and cheerful, and her eyes were filled with gentle light. Zhou Xu smiled. After feeding, he changed the dressing for his wife's wound, and the gauze soaked in medicinal smell was replaced. , Xiao Luolan couldn't see her wound. On her neck, Sect Master Zhou's big head was stuck there. He looked at her wound and said nothing.
"I'll do it myself." As soon as Xiao Luolan finished speaking, she felt a kiss on the wound, and her fingers trembled.
"How could Madam be so cruel to herself?" Zhou Xu looked at the wound on Madam's neck. A puncture mark that penetrated the skin was like an ugly centipede crawling on the side of Madam's snow-white neck. He touched the scar with his fingers, and his hot fingers Touching the newly healed tender wound on his abdomen, he murmured.
Seeing that Sect Master Zhou was still moving, Xiao Luolan said helplessly: "...it was just out of desperation."
Zhou Xu lowered his head and kissed the edge of the scar very seriously.
Xiao Luolan's snow-white neck soon turned pale pink. She hissed softly, and Zhou Xu let go of the scar.
He applied the medicine to his wife, and his movements could not be more gentle. His thick hands held a small piece of wood, and the piece was covered with light green ointment. He felt as if he was about to go to the battlefield and was faced with an enemy. He would stop after applying it for a moment.
"Does it hurt?"
Xiao Luolan couldn't help but laugh: "It doesn't hurt."
Zhou Xu didn't believe it: "How could it not hurt?"
"It hurts the most when it hurts the neck."
Zhou Xu rubbed the scar on his wife's neck with his fingertips, hoping it would disappear soon.
Chapter 327 (with warmth)
"Where is this?"
Xiao Luolan opened the window and took a look outside. Under the night, the hills stretched in the distance, and there were few palaces. There were green bamboos planted in the courtyard, the environment was quiet, and the palace lanterns beside the path gave off a warm light.
Zhou Xuzheng was sitting at the table in the house eating his first meal of the day. He ate heartily and looked at his wife while eating: "Most of the Luoyang Palace was burned. This is a summer resort next to the Luoyang Palace. The scale is okay, so I will Bringing people in."
Xiao Luolan had never left Luoyang Palace during her house arrest. She didn't know that there was a summer resort next to it. She turned around and walked slowly to the table. When she jumped out of the car, her ankle was sprained and she had some difficulty moving. , she sat down and watched Zhou Lang eat.
Zhou Xu eats very quickly, mostly meat.
"Eat slowly." Xiao Luolan said warmly, while serving him a bowl of soup and placing it in front of him.
After Zhou Xu finished his meal and drank the soup, he leaned back on the chair a little, breathed a long sigh of relief, and looked at his wife with a smile: "I haven't eaten for a day, so I am full now."
Xiao Luolan found that he was still wearing armor, and he must have never rested. He also saw that he had rough beard and loose bun, and felt a little distress in his heart: "After dinner, take a bath and have a good sleep." Sleep."
Zhou Xu smelled the smell on his body. It certainly didn't smell good. The smell of sweat, blood, fire, and fire were mixed together. It was a hot day. Fortunately, there was an ice basin in the room to suppress the smell. Zhou Xu couldn't sit still. He stayed, but he didn’t leave for a long time: “Madam, are you waiting for me here?”
Xiao Luolan cleared the dishes on the table and felt a little strange when she heard this. Where else could she go if she wasn't here.
Zhou Xu held down Madam's hand: "No need to clean it up, just wait for the servant to come." He looked at Madam steadily: "I will be back soon, Madam will be waiting for me here."
"Don't move around." Zhou Xu repeated: "I'll be back soon."
Perhaps the candlelight was too bright, allowing Xiao Luolan to see clearly at a glance the impatience and... uneasiness between Sect Master Zhou's brows, unlike his usual calm and majestic appearance.
Xiao Luolan was silent for a while, and then nodded: "Okay, I won't wander around, I will wait for you here."
Only then did Zhou Xu let go of his hand. After he stood up, he walked out and looked back. His wife was sitting at the table with a gentle look on her face. She saw him looking at her with a smile, exactly as he had imagined before.
Zhou Xu held the waist knife, and for a moment, he couldn't tell whether he was dreaming or in reality.
He looked back again before taking steps.
"Zhou Lang."
Xiao Luolan shouted.
Zhou Xu immediately turned around, strode towards his wife, bent down and looked down at her: "What's wrong?"
Xiao Luolan sat on the embroidery stool, with a shadow falling in front of her. She raised her head slightly, her jade cheeks stained with the tranquility of the candlelight, and her eyes flickered with warmth: "Do you want me to wash your hair?"
Zhou Xu's waist bent even more, he put his head on his wife's neck, and wrapped his hands around her waist, like a bow string that was stretched to the extreme. At this moment, it suddenly relaxed, and the bow string buzzed and was easy to break.
"Yes." Zhou Xu replied. He tightened his wife's waist to bring her closer to him.
"Then let's go together." Xiao Luolan said.
In the bathroom, Xiao Luolan washed Zhou Zongzhu's hair. He remembered that he had done this when he returned to Yi. It was a snowy day, and his head was covered with ice scum mixed with frozen blood. You might as well give in, Xiao Luolan wetted her hair with hot water, and then carefully rubbed it with soap, using careful and gentle movements.
In the hot air, Zhou Xu had been looking at the madam, and suddenly reached out to touch the back of the madam's neck, and pressed down gently, his eyes were blazing and deep.
The tips of Xiao Luolan's ears were a little red.
Through the faint white mist, she closed her eyes slightly, and then kissed the man's lips.
Veins suddenly appeared on Zhou Xu's hands, and the Adam's apple under his collar kept rolling, trying to reach up to prevent any air from losing.
There was a slight sound coming from the water running in the bathroom.
After a long time, Xiao Luolan breathed fresh air. She felt like she was going to faint from being kissed, her tongue was numb, her lips were tingling, and the hot water in the bucket next to her had long since turned cold.
"Okay, it's done." Xiao Luolan's cheeks were hot. She stirred up the water and picked up the dry cloth on the wooden stand to wipe her hair, trying to make it as dry as possible.
After washing his hair, Zhou Xu took off his armor and took a shower. Xiao Luolan had an injury on his leg, so he sat by the bath and wiped it briefly. Zhou Xu kept sitting by the bath, looking at his wife, Xiao Luolan was He looked red in the face and felt quite uncomfortable.
"Let me take a look at the injury on my leg," Zhou Xu said.
After Xiao Luolan wiped it off, she put on a medium coat and put it on. Her long hair was a little wet from the water vapor in the bathroom, and some of the ends of her hair were meandering into the water waves. In the haze, her jade face looked like spring. He said: "It's just a sprain. It will be fine after a while."
Zhou Xu: "It's not from this time, it was from before." He paused and said, "That time of the flood."
If Sect Master Zhou hadn't mentioned it, Xiao Luolan had almost forgotten all the injuries he had suffered in the past.
"Let me take a look." Zhou Xu said.
"It's better than before." Xiao Luolan stretched out the injured leg to reassure him: "It no longer hurts."
Zhou Xu looked at the uneven scars on his wife's calf, took out the snow cream and wiped it again. His expression was full of gloom, and then he carefully examined all the scars on his wife's body.
After taking a shower, it was already late at night.
Xiao Luolan slept for a day and was in good spirits. The main reason was that she now felt an unreal sense of happiness. However, in just one day, the important people around her returned to her again, making her afraid to sleep deeply and fearing Thought I was dreaming.
