Yun Shao, who thought he had escaped from drinking the bitter medicine, came out of Shen Moyao's room and passed by the hall when he bumped into his mother sitting there.
Yun Shao originally thought that her mother was waiting for her specially, and she felt a little guilty in her eyes. After walking a few steps, she found that her mother did not see her. She kept looking down at the shining silver bracelet in her hand, but her eyes were distracted and her expression was dull. With inexplicable nostalgia.
"Mother, why are you sitting here?"
Yun Shao came to sit next to her and asked doubtfully.
Yun Shao looked down at the silver bracelet in her mother's hand and was not surprised, because she also had a lot of such silver jewelry in her room. Silver hairpins, silver hairpins, and silver combs were all given to her by her mother and father. It can be said that These were the most numerous pieces of jewelry she owned, and she didn't think there was anything out of the ordinary about her mother holding a silver bracelet.
Ruan Yiluo came back to his senses and looked up at his daughter, with soft warmth in his eyes.
"Nothing, I just thought of bits and pieces of the past, and felt a little emotional for a moment. By the way, did you drink your soup?"
"Mom, I'm fine now, so why don't you drink?"
Yun Shao raised his head, his expression a little depressed, and looked at her with eyes as clear as glass.
Ruan Yiluo touched her white cheek lovingly and sighed.
"Drink two more doses of the decoction, and you don't need to drink it anymore."
The decoction she gave Shaoer was not a decoction for catching wind and cold, but a decoction specially made for her to recuperate her body. There were many precious medicinal materials in it. Knowing that she didn't like to drink decoctions, she thought of taking advantage of her daughter to catch the cold. Due to the cold weather, she took the opportunity to take these tonics.
Fortunately, she had almost finished drinking, so Ruan's mother followed her wishes.
Ruan's mother raised her hand and picked up the box on the table, ready to put the silver bracelet into the box. Yun Shao asked curiously.
"Mother, why is this bracelet different from the one on my hand?"
Miao Miao raised her arms as she spoke, revealing her fair and slender wrists.
Ruan's mother's eyes fell on the silver bracelet on her wrist. The exquisite and elegant patterns were dotted with small silver bells. This was specially made for Shao'er by craftsmen when she was three years old. The silver bracelet changed with age. , can be adjusted at will.
There is a tradition in their Miao territory: to make a silver bracelet for the child when she is still young, which can protect the child's healthy growth. This bracelet is also called a life-keeping bracelet in the Miao territory. Every child in the clan wears it and must never leave it. body.
Although she left Miao territory, she still had these customs and her love for her daughter, so she asked the craftsman to make this bracelet.
Shao'er is the treasure of the couple. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are very fond of each other. Watching her grow up little by little, because of Shao'er's arrival, the couple lives a happy and fulfilling life every day. In these days, Shaoer is everything to them.
As long as it was about Shaoer, they both cared about it.
Ruan's mother put the silver bracelet in the box, rubbed it gently with her fingers, cherishing it very much, and said with a nostalgic look on her face.
"This is a token of love given to me by your father."
Gu Yanli, who knew her origins, made a silver bracelet for her personally in accordance with Miao customs. When they got married, he made a promise to protect her.
Yun Shao rested his head on Ruan's mother's shoulder, his eyebrows curved: "I envy you so much, dad, for marrying such a gentle and beautiful mother."
"You, it's in vain that your father loves you so much. If your father hears this, he will probably feel aggrieved." Ruan's mother nodded her head and said with a fond smile.
"Haha~"
The sweet and charming laughter echoed in the hall.
…………
"Brother Shen, where have you been so early in the morning?"
Yun Shao, who had prepared breakfast with his mother, came to the courtyard and saw Shen Moyao coming back from the back mountain, and asked curiously.
Shen Moyao saw the lively and pretty Yun Shao in the courtyard, glowing softly under the morning light. The distant mountains behind the house were like a gorgeous splash-ink painting, with a different kind of fireworks, showing stability and tranquility. , there was a little joy in his heart.
"If you have nothing to do, I'll go for a walk in the back mountain."
Also going out early in the morning, Gu Yanli, who had been left out by her daughter, stood there alone, looking eagerly in her daughter's direction, trying to attract her attention.
Yun Shao, who was talking to Shen Moyao, didn't realize what her father was thinking. Ruan's mother, who came out of the kitchen, saw her husband walking forward and said with concern: "The food is ready, hurry up and wash your hands and eat."
Gu Yanli nodded and glanced depressedly at the daughter who had forgotten her father.
Shen Moyao on the side saw the depression in Gu Yanli's eyes. He raised his eyes to look at Yun Shao, who was in front of him and looked at him with a smile.
During the meal, Yun Shao noticed that his father was unhappy. Although he was a little inexplicable, he still thoughtfully picked up the serving chopsticks and picked up a piece of water chestnut for him. This made Gu Yanli smile and pick up the food. , and his eyes were still showing off towards Shen Moyao.
Shen Moyao: "......"
Ruan's mother felt helpless when she saw her husband's temperament. Once her daughter was involved, her husband lost his usual composure.
"Shao'er, do you want to go to the foot of the mountain with us today?" Gu Yanli asked.
He and his wife were going to the foot of the mountain to treat people for the next two days. He was originally worried about his daughter's health, but when he thought about such a big mistake yesterday, he felt a little uneasy and felt that it was not safe there.
Yun Shao looked at Shen Moyao who was silent. He was a little worried about leaving him here alone. He shook his head: "Dad, I won't go down the mountain. You and mother will come back as soon as possible."
Gu Yanli naturally noticed the scene where his daughter was looking at Shen Moyao, and felt confused. He wanted to say something more, but was pulled away by Ruan Yiluo.
After saying goodbye to his parents, Yun Shao went to the pharmacy, picked up the bamboo basket, and prepared to go out.
When Yun Shao went out, he saw Shen Moyao standing by the door frame. Seeing her getting ready to go out, he asked, "Where are you going?"
Yun Shao raised the bamboo basket in his hand and said with a smile: "Brother Shen, I'm going to go to the medicine garden to pick some herbs."
Shen Moyao remembered that she failed to collect the medicinal herbs yesterday because of him. He lowered his eyes and looked at her. After his eyes met hers for a moment, Shen Moyao inexplicably remembered how he held her and threatened her yesterday because he was afraid of being noticed. His cold and desireless expression showed a rare feeling of discomfort.
Avoiding her eyes, he whispered: "I will go with you."
"Is your injury okay?" Yun Shao's eyes were filled with worry.
"It's okay, I can still do simple things."
Seeing how insistent he was, Yun Shao had no choice but to agree to let him come along.
Back mountain.
Yun Shao led Shen Moyao on the road, not far from the medicine garden, and Yun Shao pointed not far away.
"Brother Shen, my family grows vegetables and fruits there. Now is the season. Let's go and see if there are any ripe fruits."
As he spoke, Yun Shao's eyes were bright, and he reached out and tugged on his sleeves, and couldn't wait to pull him over.
Yun Shao walked to the vegetable garden and looked down, and saw a big, round watermelon in the lush green vegetable garden. She ran over in surprise, her dark hair rising and falling with her movements. She walked through the path in the vegetable garden, When she came to the place where she found the watermelon, she bent down and patted the big watermelon. When she heard the sound of "boom boom" full of juice, she raised her head and shouted excitedly.
"Brother Shen, look, you can eat watermelon today!" Qing Ling's cheerful voice floated in the forest.
Shen Moyao looked at Yun Shao's jade-white face. Under her influence, he felt happy and walked over.
"Wow, the cantaloupe here is ripe too."
Shen Moyao looked at Miaomiao walking nimbly through the garden, his thin lips raised and his eyebrows relaxed.
"Let's go back and put the fruits in the well, and wait for our parents to come back. It will be cool and sweet to relieve the heat..."
Yun Shao is like a bird in the forest, eloquently expressing the excitement in his heart.
Shen Moyao looked at Yun Shao, who had forgotten what he was doing here, and laughed softly.
She seems to have no worries and has been growing up happily. She has a soft and innocent temperament and wants people to give her the most beautiful things in the world to make her happy.
"Miss Yun Shao, did you forget that we are going to the medicine garden?"
Yun Shao was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered the purpose of their coming: "Then let's go to the medicine garden first, and then pick fruits when we come back." After saying this, he reluctantly glanced at the big watermelon.
In the medicine garden, Miaomiao squatted there and shoveled herbs.
Because of the temptation of the big watermelon in front of her, Yun Shao was a little absent-minded. Shen Moyao sighed, walked to her and took the shovel from her hand.
"You tell me which herbs need to be picked."
Yun Shao was stunned for a moment, and then felt a little embarrassed. He raised his hand and pointed to the medicinal materials on the side, indicating that they could all be picked.
After Yun Shao finished speaking, Shen Moyao leaned over and picked quickly, moving quickly and methodically. The two of them cooperated tacitly, and soon these mature medicinal materials were picked.
"Let's go, let's pick the big watermelon you are so obsessed with." Shen Moyao picked up the basket and looked at her teasingly.
Yun Shao smiled shyly and then said.
"...Brother Shen, thank you for your help. If it weren't for you, I don't know when I would have finished picking it."
"You don't have to be polite to me. Compared with these little things, I want to thank you for your treatment. If it weren't for you, I would still be seriously injured without treatment."
After all, if he hadn't come to the mountain by chance, he wouldn't have met her, let alone been healed by her.
Shen Moyao's eyes fell on the side of Yun Shao's face. From this angle, he could see her white earlobes and slender neck. Due to the hot weather, a layer of fine sweat appeared on her creamy skin, which slipped down as she moved. In the lapel.
Shen Moyao turned away uncomfortably, with an inexplicable emotion flashing in his eyes.
Walking to a flat path, the two came to the vegetable garden.
Yun Shao bent down to pick the watermelon. After picking the big watermelon that she had been waiting for for a long time, she picked up the watermelon with difficulty and tried to get up. However, she ignored the weight of the watermelon and fell backwards holding the watermelon.
Shen Moyao, who was always paying attention to her, saw this and hugged her from behind, and Yun Shao fell into his arms.
Yun Shao, who closed his eyes tightly due to fright, did not notice the pain. He opened his eyes and looked up to see Shen Moyao's handsome and delicate face.
Shen Moyao lowered his eyes and looked at Yun Shao in his arms. Their eyes met and their breaths intertwined.
The eyes that had always been indifferent and cold turned soft and patient when looking at Yun Shao.
"Brother Shen, I'm fine. Please let go of me."
Yun Shao, who fell in his arms, raised her hand and touched his chest gently, signaling him to let go of her.
As the words fell, Yun Shao's clear breath lingered around him, and his soft palms touched his chest, making his breathing stagnant and his heartbeat suddenly skip a beat.
He subconsciously grabbed the jade hand placed on his chest, his eyebrows soothed: "What's wrong?"
Yun Shao was a little confused, raised his head and said, "I'm fine. Brother Shen, please let go of me."
Shen Moyao was speechless, fearing that she would notice his Meng Lang, so he let go of her.
Yun Shao stood up, holding the watermelon in his hand, then lifted it up with difficulty and took a breath.
Shen Moyao watched her struggling to hold the watermelon, and was a little worried that she was tired.
"I'll get it."
As he spoke, he took the heavy watermelon from her arms. Because the watermelon was a bit round, it accidentally touched a soft spot. Shen Moyao's fingers trembled and he curled up slightly.
Yun Shao didn't notice it and was relieved when he saw the watermelon being picked up.
He shook his sour arm and said.
"Brother Shen, let's go back."
Yun Shao walked forward, and Shen Moyao, who was following behind, looked at Yun Shao's cheerful back, his eyes were deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
