two ears pricked up

Huo Zheng was dumbfounded, Bai Xi was dumbfounded, terrified.

Bai Xi carefully guarded the secret that he was a monster for two days, fearing that Huo Zheng would ask him another question.If Huo Zheng seriously questioned him about this matter, Bai Xi would not have the extra courage and courage to continue lying in front of Huo Zheng.

He thought anxiously, it is really difficult to be a man, and it is even more difficult to lie to be a man.If he wanted to stay by Huo Zheng's side, he had to deceive him.

He stayed at home peacefully and didn't go anywhere. When Huo Zheng went out, he followed behind like a little tail. In order to reassure the other party's doubts, he reduced the number of times he went out. On the surface, Huo Zheng looked calm. , Let Bai Xi's anxious heart gradually relax.

Little did they know that Huo Zheng's face was calm, but he was actually caught in a dilemma.

On the one hand, Huo Zheng was unwilling to believe this, but on the other hand, he couldn't escape the torment of self-blame in his heart.

Every night, he would stand in front of Huo Qianjun's stele until late at night after confessing before returning to his room. Bai Xi's unusual obedience made him more suspicious, and Huo Zheng began to quietly observe Bai Xi's every move. .

"clank!"

Bai Xi moved the wet firewood that had been drying in the yard back to the stove and stacked them neatly, but saw Huo Zheng standing in a trance in the yard, he circled around and called out to him repeatedly, Huo Zheng regained his consciousness, and met Bai Xi's pure and pure Eyes, all kinds of thoughts are mixed, he is worried about this, but in two days, his chin has turned blue, the full stubble is short and hard, and he suddenly looks a few years old.

Bai Xi stretched out his hand to touch his stubble, but Huo Zheng grabbed his wrist and let it go quickly.

With his back turned to him, Huo Zheng said with no emotion in his tone, "Sister-in-law, the fields have harvested recently, I have to go over to help, it's not safe for you to stay in the house alone, let's go together."

"Oh!"

Bai Xi did not doubt that he agreed without hesitation, no matter how bored the rabbit is, it still needs time to go out and relax.He happily went back to the house to get the water bag and filled it with water so that he could take it with him.Looking back, seeing Huo Zheng still standing still, he urged him and rushed to fill the other water bag for him.

Huo Zheng took Bai Xi to the field for another purpose.

He wants to test Bai Xi and whether his sister-in-law is really in collusion with some people in the village.Recently, the crops in the fields have matured, and the villagers are busy harvesting them. In the afternoon, when the sun is getting smaller, young men from every household almost have to go to the fields to harvest.

Most of the villagers who went to the field were strong men from their families, and almost all the young men in the village gathered here. He deliberately took Bai Xi to the field, just to see if he would meet someone Bai Xi knew.

Bai Xi can't even tell a lie, if he really meets that person, he can't hide his reaction, the expression on his face.Huo Zheng didn't want that person to appear. On the way to the field, his palms were soaked.

What Huo Zheng did made him feel guilty, but he had to do it, and it was difficult for him to advance or retreat.

The fields are bustling, and the villagers gather here. Before the dry season comes, there is another good harvest. Although they are not fine crops, they are food for the whole family to fill their stomachs.

The sweat of working under the sun is scattered everywhere. The men take off their clothes and bare their arms to do farm work. Some women who come to the fields with them are not ashamed to see it.The folk customs are simple, and the rough life is used to it, so there is no such condescension of the young daughter's family. Some peasant women even use their own men to compare which ones are stronger with others.

Huo Zheng stopped not far from Bai Xi to observe him, and the villagers who went ashore while resting turned their attention to him.

Bai Xi is out of tune with everything here. Before joining the WTO, he did not eat human fireworks. After joining the WTO, Huo Zheng cared for him to protect him. He is pure and clean. People quieted down one after another, their hearts were complicated, and everyone looked at him differently.

Bai Xi didn't know what other people thought of him. In the field, Huo Zheng's face changed again and again. He was suspicious and wanted to test him out. After he did this, Huo Zheng found that he couldn't bear it at all. He couldn't stand Bai Xi being surrounded by these villagers. Onlookers.

Huo Zheng strode ashore, picked up the bamboo basket and said to Bai Xi: "Sister-in-law, let's go back."

The bamboo basket was empty, Huo Zheng hadn't started working yet, they had only stayed in the field for half a stick of incense, Bai Xi followed him, and asked in a daze, "Why did you just come out and go back?"

Huo Zheng said with a dull face, "It's not necessary."

No matter what the purpose is, he shouldn't have made such a temptation to his sister-in-law, let alone let other men look at his sister-in-law more.

Huo Zheng couldn't calm down, he felt deeply ashamed of his elder brother and his sister-in-law.He didn't dare to ask about Bai Xi's going out at night. Sometimes he thought that maybe he had guessed randomly, so he buried himself in the farm work. After getting up every day, the work in his hand didn't stop, and Bai Xi followed him to persuade him. I couldn't help it, until I fell tired and fell asleep beside the pillow at night.

Huo Zheng is determined to forget about this matter, and continue to take good care of his sister-in-law for his elder brother.

One day, Huo Zheng repaired all the eaves in the courtyard. Seeing that it was getting late, he went back to the house and told Bai Xi to go to bed early.

"Sister-in-law." Huo Zheng paused, as if he had something to say to Bai in detail.

Bai Xi approached him, the faint candlelight reflected on his face through the paper-cut window, flickering, he had just washed his hair, and his black hair fell softly on both sides of his cheeks, gentle and playful.

"Zhengzheng, what's wrong with you?"

Huo Zheng lost his mind for a moment in a trance, until the soft and bright voice sounded again, he said: "Take a good rest."

Huo Zheng sent him to the door, watched Bai Xi go back to the room, and turned to leave when the candles in the room were extinguished.Just when he thought it was over and his sister-in-law was guarding the Huo family in peace, something unexpected happened that night.

In the middle of the night, people should rest.

But there was a lone figure standing in the courtyard of the Huo Family. Huo Zheng couldn't sleep for some reason all night. He sat alone in the courtyard for a while, watching the sky, listening to the wind, and getting rid of distracting thoughts. After the third watch, he walked back to the house. .

Silently, Huo Zheng tossed and turned, vaguely aware that something was going to happen.He got up and opened a window facing the yard, and sat down.

While holding his breath, he suddenly saw a shadow quietly appearing in the courtyard under the dim night. Looking intently, that person was not his sister-in-law, whoever it was.

Huo Zheng froze as if struck by lightning.

The author has something to say: Zhengzheng said that the past few days have been very tormenting, with a vicissitudes of life.

One is that you want too much applause for him.
