As dusk approached, everyone arrived at a town.
Shen Moyao raised his eyes to look at the somewhat gloomy weather, then turned to look at the junior brothers on the side who were huffing and puffing on their horses. He rode his high horse to the carriage and gently knocked on the carriage window.
Yun Shao pushed open the closed car window: "Brother Shen, what's wrong?"
"It's getting late and the storm is coming, so I thought of finding an inn here to rest and start my journey tomorrow morning."
Shen Moyao looked at Ruan's mother who was silent in the carriage and asked her opinion.
Ruan's mother looked at the weather outside and nodded towards Shen Moyao.
Xu Xiaoling, who was following behind, rode over and said, "Elder brother, there is no need to look for an inn. The Yuelai Inn here is opened by my father. We can just go there directly."
Shen Moyao glanced at Yun Shao who was rubbing his hands with his peripheral vision, no longer hesitated, and nodded in agreement.
The carriage rolled through the thick snow and arrived in front of the Yuelai Inn. Yun Shao and Ruan Mu got off the carriage and looked up at the inn in front of them.
Yuelai Inn is divided into two courtyards, the front and rear. The front courtyard is furnished like a restaurant for tourists to rest and eat. The backyard is a place for accommodation. Across the bluestone brick road, the waiter led Yun Shao and his mother to the second floor.
Li Nian did not go to the backyard together, but arranged things in the front yard with his brothers.
Before she came to pick up Yun Shao and Ruan's mother, she originally planned to be friends with Yun Shao, but since she met Yun Shao, she no longer felt like this. When she saw that her elder brother cared so much about Yun Shao, she felt even more repelled. She and Li Nian were looking for various reasons to stay with the eldest brother along the way, fearing that he would get too involved with Yun Shao.
"Two guests, these two upper rooms are your rooms. Please rest here."
Entering the room, Yun Shao suddenly felt a lot warmer. Looking at the heater placed in the corner, he felt a little surprised. He didn't expect this inn to be so considerate.
No wonder it is called the upper room, with huanghuali tables and chairs, a clean and tidy bed, and a pear blossom screen placed beside it. The side of the screen is separated from the room, where you can bathe and change clothes.
No wonder the waiter just now said that their inn is the first-class inn in Wu'an City, and it is indeed worthy of the name.
Yun Shao walked to the window lattice and gently opened the window. The cold wind filtered in through the gap in the window lattice. Yun Shao trembled slightly and rubbed his cold arms.
"Dong dong" the door knocked gently.
Yun Shao turned around, walked over and opened the door, and saw Shen Moyao standing at the door, a little stunned.
"Brother Shen, why are you here?"
"After running around all day, I only ate some dry food on the way, so I thought of calling you and my aunt to have a meal in the front yard."
Shen Moyao walked into the room, because he had just come from outside and still had a chill on his body.
He glanced at the open window lattice, frowned, and reached out to close the window.
When Yun Shao saw him closing the window, he frowned and stretched out his hand to open it. As soon as he stretched out his hand, he held his finger.
"It's freezing cold outside, so be careful of catching the wind chill."
"I just want to open a gap to circulate the air in the room."
This is what her mother taught her. If a room is too closed, it will be very boring. Being closed for a long time is not good for your health.
Shen Moyao hummed, but held her hand with no intention of letting go.
Yun Shao looked into his deep eyes in confusion, and the chilling feeling radiating around him made her feel uncomfortable.
Before Yun Shao could speak, Shen Moyao asked, "Are you okay?"
Yun Shao was stunned for a moment, then understood what he meant, pursed his lips lightly, and lowered his eyes in silence.
Shen Moyao looked at her melancholy expression with affection: "If you have anything, just tell me directly and I will help you solve it. Don't suppress yourself. Master Gu is the last person who wants to see you like this. He is the biggest My hope is that you may live a free and worry-free life.”
There was pain and depression in Yun Shao's eyes. Her father's death caught her off guard. She and her mother left their hometown to face this strange group of people. She was helpless and afraid that she could not tell anyone, let alone her mother, because she knew My mother was in more pain and couldn't accept it than she was.
Yun Shao's eyes were moist, and his chest felt helpless and tight. He could no longer bear the suppressed emotions, reached out and pushed his chest, and asked loudly.
"What do you think you can do to help me?!"
"Can you help me rescue daddy? Can you bring daddy back to me and my mother? You can't, you can't do anything!!"
Big tears streaked down his cheeks, and Yun Shao slapped his chest, unable to suppress his cries, and tightly pulled the skirt of his chest.
Shen Moyao watched her whimpering like a wounded animal and was afraid of disturbing Ruan's mother in the next room. She could no longer restrain herself from hugging the soft and helpless girl in front of her.
His deep and calm eyes were stained with sadness, he clenched his fingers tightly, pursed his thin lips slightly, and made a mute voice.
"I'm sorry... It's my incompetence. I didn't protect Master Gu well. If you hate me, then hate me. It's me who made you lose your father. It's me who made you helpless and heartbroken."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Miaomiao, who was leaning in his arms, vented her sorrow and no longer pretended to be strong.
Shen Moyao held the little man in his arms and refused to let go.
Since breaking up with her, he has missed her smile every moment. The day Uncle Gu died of anger was the most helpless and painful day for him.
The master and the sect thought that he was acting like this because he felt guilty for the death of Master Gu. No, he just thought of Yun Shao waiting for his father at home, of his promise to her, and of what would happen if she learned that Master Gu had passed away. News, her sad and painful face appeared in his mind, and every time he recalled it, he couldn't face it. He was afraid of seeing Yun Shao's hateful eyes, and he was even more afraid of having nothing to do with her.
When he heard his master's proposal to bring their mother and son to Yunxu Sect, he was beyond pleasantly surprised, and he met her again.
This makes him feel a little shy when facing her now, and he wishes time could stay at this moment.
After venting her anger, Yun Shao slowly calmed down. She wiped her tears and felt that she had been a little unreasonable. She felt guilty for saying such extreme words. She looked up at Brother Shen and realized that she was In his arms, the two of them were so intimate.
His little face turned red, and he struggled in panic, pushing his chest with his little hands.
"What's wrong?"
"Brother Shen, please let me go."
Yun Shao's voice was trembling with shyness. She bit her lips lightly, her thoughts were a little confused and she was extremely panicked.
Shen Moyao saw her rosy cheeks, her bright and moist eyes, her Adam's apple rolling, her heart trembled, and her thin lips opened slightly.
"Miss Yun Shao, I..."
"Shao'er, are you in the room?" There was a gentle knock on the door, and Ruan's mother's voice came from outside the door.
Yun Shao was a little flustered, her eyelashes trembling, Shen Moyao whispered in her ear: "Don't be afraid, calm down."
Yun Shao breathed out and said to the door: "Mom, I'm in the room. Just wait for me and I'll come out right away."
Yun Shao glanced at Shen Moyao and whispered: "To avoid misunderstanding, mother, I will leave first, Brother Shen, and you can go out later."
His dark eyes deepened, he nodded, walked to the blind corner of the room, and stared at Yun Shao's leaving figure.
The martial arts practitioner has excellent hearing. He heard Ruan's mother's vague voice asking questions outside the door, and noticed the footsteps of the two people getting further away.
Then his figure disappeared from the room.
