"Remember to use that ointment morning and night. It will be good for your chilblains."
Xie Tinglan nodded in agreement. He was still a little unaccustomed to Liu Zhiheng's sudden concern. He looked at Liu Zhiheng and felt that the person in front of him once again overlapped with the image of the girl in his memory.
Liu Zhiheng, who is so gentle now, is somewhat similar to the Liu Zhiheng Xie Tinglan imagined in the past.
Ever since he was rescued by Liu Zhiheng from a trap on the mountain at the age of eight, he had been looking forward to seeing the beautiful girl from the Orion family who rarely went out again.
But when he turned sixteen, he finally met Liu Zhiheng again, but her personality was very different from what he had imagined.
She was so vulgar, shameless, cheap and shallow that she completely destroyed the person in his fantasy.
That's why Xie Tinglan hated Liu Zhiheng so much, not only for her entanglement, but also for ruining his fantasy.
"Mr. Xie?" Liu Zhiheng saw Xie Tinglan looking at him in a daze and couldn't help but call him, "Do you have anything else to do?"
Xie Tinglan finally came to his senses and realized what he was thinking, feeling an unspeakable shame.
He cleared his throat and said: "Starting from tomorrow, I will go back to the county to study. I will come back on the 15th. When I come back, I will bring your brother back with me."
"That's great. I've been worried about this the past few days!"
His younger brother was only ten years old, and it was snowing so hard outside that Liu Zhiheng was really afraid that something would happen to him when he returned to the village. But she is not a woman who can go to the county alone. Now that Xie Tinglan is helping her, she feels more at ease.
""I will help you pick up and drop off your brother from now on. If you encounter anything during this period, or someone bullies you, you can go to the village chief. I have already said hello to the village chief, and the village chief will still give me some points. Thin noodles. "
Liu Zhiheng wondered, why is Xie Tinglan so crazy?
Liu Zhiheng couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Xie, are you not caring about me?"
Xie Tinglan was very disgusted with this statement. He stood up impatiently and said: "Who cares about you? Before our engagement is terminated, if you are embarrassed, I will be embarrassed. Take care of yourself."
After saying this, Xie Tinglan walked out unhappy.
baffling……
Liu Zhiheng quickly followed him out and saw him out of the courtyard.
Seeing him walking away, Liu Zhiheng shouted to him: "Thank you, Mr. Xie, I'll wait for you to send my brother back on the 15th!"
Xie Tinglan paused, did not look back or answer, but raised his hand and waved it, telling Liu Zhiheng that he heard it.
Liu Zhiheng couldn't help but clicked his tongue.
What a pretentious person!
At the foot of the mountain, Chun Cao, who had followed Xie Tinglan all the way, was hiding in the dark.
She stood in the snow for a long time, and her whole body was so cold that she almost lost consciousness. But when she saw Xie Tinglan leaving the Liu family's yard, she felt that her heart was colder than her legs.
Because just now when Xie Tinglan turned his back to Liu Zhiheng, he actually smiled. Although that expression lasted only a moment, Chun Cao still saw it.
Brother Xie won't really fall in love with that shameless woman Liu Zhiheng, right?
…
During the long night, without Duan Wu Jiu to talk and play chess with her, Liu Zhiheng was so bored that she wanted to hit the wall, but she couldn't sleep, so she could only choose to find something to do and draw a map of Peach Blossom Village.
In her previous life, Liu Zhiheng was a geological expert on the scientific expedition team. She could draw maps with ease, but she was very precise in her drawings. By the time she finished drawing the Kanyu of Taohua Village, it was already midnight, and Liu Zhiheng fell asleep on the heated kang.
Not long after she slept, Liu Zhiheng was woken up by the crow of roosters outside. She opened her eyes and looked at the sky outside. It was not the time for roosters to crow yet?
The screams of chickens were heard endlessly, and Liu Zhiheng's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the chickens at home were eaten by wild beasts that came down from the mountain?
Liu Zhiheng hurriedly put on a coat and went out.
When she opened the courtyard door, she saw a man squatting in the courtyard. The man was covered in chicken feathers. He was grabbing a chicken and ruthlessly plucking the feathers on its wings. Half of the chicken's wing feathers were gone.
Liu Zhiheng recognized the man's back.
"Yukiro?"
Duan Wujiu turned his head, his eyes were scarlet and his whole body was tense, but the moment he saw Liu Zhiheng, he relaxed.
"A Heng..." Duan Wujiu's tone was a little frustrated.
Liu Zhiheng looked at the bald pheasant in Duan Wujiu's hand and thought he had some misunderstanding.
"Where have you been all day? And what happened to the chicken?"
"During the day, it flew away into the mountains when I wasn't paying attention. I went to catch the chicken."
"Have you been catching it all day?"
Duan Wu Jiu nodded, "The snow in the mountains is thick, and it is easy to hide the smell. This chicken is a spirit. It took me a while to find it."
For some reason, Liu Zhiheng suddenly felt ridiculous, and then felt very aggrieved.
She thought Duan Wu Jiu was gone, and she was really sad for a while, and even comforted herself, but then he came back again, and told herself that he had gone to catch chickens.
"Why didn't you say anything to me? I thought..." Liu Zhiheng felt aggrieved.
"Why?"
"It's nothing..." Liu Zhiheng's eyes were a little red and he complained: "It's just a chicken, it just flies away, why bother to catch it?"
Duan Wu Jiu looked a little depressed, "But this is something A Heng has entrusted to me. I can't handle such a small thing. What if A Heng thinks I'm useless and doesn't want me to be your child adopter?"
Liu Zhiheng's heart skipped a beat. Is this why Duan Wu Jiu was so desperate?
In order to find a chicken, he ran almost all day and night in the mountains, just because she told him to do it, just because he felt that he was a child breadwinner and was worried that she would not want him?
Liu Zhiheng felt at this moment that he was really nothing...
"I won't dislike you."
After hearing Liu Zhiheng's words, Duan Wujiu's depressed expression disappeared and he said happily: "Then I'll kill it right now."
"Forget it!" Liu Zhiheng suddenly didn't want to kill the chicken. "It took you so long to catch it. It's hard work. It would be a pity to eat it. Let's keep it."
Liu Zhiheng threw the chicken with half of its wings into the chicken coop. Worried that it would freeze, he also stuffed more straw in it.
Turning around and looking at Duan Wu Jiu's chicken feathers, Liu Zhiheng felt that his heart softened a little more.
"Why don't you hurry up and clean up the house? I'll get you something to eat."
After the two of them had eaten, it was almost dawn, and Duan Wu Jiu was a little frightened when he saw Liu Zhiheng looking gloomy all the time.
"Ah Heng, did I make you angry?"
Liu Zhiheng shook his head, "No, it's just that you are not allowed to disappear without saying a word in the future, do you understand?"
"I was wrong. I didn't know it would take so long. Ah Heng, if you get angry, just hit me, okay?"
Duan Wujiu grabbed Liu Zhiheng's hand and was about to hit him, but Liu Zhiheng quickly pulled back.
"Why fight? I can't bear to do it..." Liu Zhiheng muttered: "I'm not angry either. It's just that you've been out for too long today. I thought... you wouldn't come back."
Duan Wu Jiu laughed, "Ah Heng is so silly. This is my home. I am the child adopter you bought back. We are the closest people in the world. How come I don't come back?"
Duan Wujiu spoke without intention, but Liu Zhiheng listened with intention.
She suddenly didn't want to lie to Duan Wujiu anymore. Even if Duan Wujiu would choose to leave after knowing the truth, she didn't want to lie to him anymore.
"Xue Lang, there is actually something I haven't told you. You actually..."
Before Liu Zhiheng finished speaking, Duan Wujiu yawned gracefully and interrupted her: "A Heng, I've been running outside all day and I feel so sleepy. Can we go to bed first?"
After saying this, without waiting for Liu Zhiheng's reaction, Duan Wu Jiu got on the heated kang and fell asleep.
Liu Zhiheng was helpless, thinking that he must be really tired and could only find other opportunities to tell the truth. After thinking about it, she also climbed onto the heated kang and fell asleep soon.
Duan Wujiu opened his eyes when he heard Liu Zhiheng's even breathing.
He looked at Liu Zhiheng, his expression dark, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Then he saw him moving a little in her direction, gently grabbing the corner of Liu Zhiheng's clothes, resting his head on her long hair, and then fell asleep again. go.
