two ears pricked up

Bai Xi was prettier than any woman Huo Zheng had ever met before. She was young, and all her emotions were written on her face. One could tell that she was a simple person.

He was dressed in thin skin and tender flesh, and the fiery red wedding dress set off his white complexion, making him look like a real person.The makeup powder that the old woman of the Bai family perfunctorily applied to him did not reduce his "pretty looks" by half. A pair of talking eyes looked at him flickeringly, full of timidity and curiosity, and his lips parted slightly, spitting out The breath has a slightly sweet taste.

Bai Xi was dressed in a bride's wedding gown, so Huo Zheng mistook him for a woman.The little sister-in-law in front of him made him wonder where to put his eyes, as if looking at him even more would be a blasphemy to his sister-in-law.

Huo Zheng didn't know that Bai Xi had been cheated by the Bai family and then married Miss Bai's by mistake. He didn't know that he was a man, and he didn't even know that he and Huo Qianjun didn't even marry each other.

From now on, in his heart, Bai Xi is the young lady of the Bai family, Bai Xi'er, the bride his elder brother Ming Mei is marrying, and his sister-in-law.

Huo Zheng let go of his hand, his eyes fell on the dark place outside the house, although he only spoke in one tone, the dialogue was thin, but he had a caring heart.

"Sister-in-law, it's late at night, you go back to your room to rest, I'll watch over my brother's side."

Bai Xi whispered something.

Huo Zheng remembered that the other party did not know him so far, and then explained, "My name is Huo Zheng, and I am the only relative of the elder brother. Now that the elder brother is gone, I will take good care of you for him."

Huo Zhenghe's appearance is very different from Huo Qianjun's. The two brothers have inherited Huo's father's tall physique. people's words.Huo Zheng's face was cold and resolute, he looked like a ruthless person, he was reticent, but his mind was calm and he cherished family affection very much.

The relationship between the two brothers is not close. Huo Qianjun was instigated by outsiders to treat Huo Zheng as a villain and be wary of competing with him for family property. In order to reassure Huo Qianjun, Huo Zheng left Changyue Village alone since he was 17 years old. If not for this time After receiving Huo Qianjun's letter, Huo Zheng never thought that he would set foot in Changyue Village again.

"sister in law?"

Huo Zheng saw that Bai Xi was not moving, but his two white and slender hands were still tightly gripping his sleeves.

Men and women are different, not to mention Bai Xi's current 'new identity', Huo Zheng lowered his voice and hinted to Bai Xi to let go, Bai Xi probably saw that the person in front of him didn't want to touch him, so he withdrew his hands and flattened his mouth.

The candlelight flickered slightly, and Huo Zheng's gaze moved accordingly. The two suddenly stopped talking, and when they were at a stalemate, Bai Xi grabbed Huo Zheng's arm. At this time, he was also sleepy, and his eyelids drooped listlessly. , asked him softly, "Where are you going to sleep?"

Without the other party's permission, Bai Xi didn't dare to walk around carelessly, he rubbed his belly, he ate all the cakes in the sedan chair today, he is not hungry at the moment.

Huo Zheng misunderstood Bai Xi's actions, he thought that his sister-in-law would be hungry by the end of the day, so he turned and walked outside.Seeing people going out, Bai Xi turned his head to look at the coffin inside the house. The mourning hall was eerie, he didn't dare to stay for a moment, and followed Huo Zheng out step by step.

The lights were like beans, Huo Zheng found some food to fill his stomach in the stove, but the food was cold, so he re-fired the food.

Bai Xiyuan followed him curiously by his side, picked up the firewood and looked at it in confusion, seeing Huo Zheng use the firewood to start a fire, looked at him with a little more awe and admiration in his eyes.

The flames were warm, and the wood crackled as it burned.Bai Xi wanted to get closer, but was afraid that sparks would burn his hair, so he could only squat in a corner behind, with the jumping fire light reflected in his eyes, Huo Zheng looked back at him, told him to wait, and quickly went out to bring back a piece of paper. Put a small stool firmly in front of Bai Xi.

Bai Xi sat on the stool with a cute expression, his hands resting on his knees, his instinct told him that the person in front of him would treat him well.

He squinted his beautiful eyes, Huo Zheng was busy with the hot dishes and couldn't take care of him, so he played by himself, the soft wedding dress was in his hand, and from time to time he shook Huo Zheng's back, Huo Zheng glanced at him, he stop playing.

When Huo Zheng lowered his head and fiddled with the firewood, Bai Xi suddenly opened his mouth, moved his mouth a few times, and tried to call him by name, "Zheng Zheng?"

While speaking, he grabbed the clothes with his fingers and stared closely at Huo Zheng's side face to see his reaction.

Huo Zheng's calm mind was disturbed by this soft and bright call, he turned his head to look at Bai Xi, and Gu Jing Wubo's eyes showed a slight complexity, "Sister-in-law, my name is Huo Zheng."

"..." Bai Xi frowned slightly, with doubts in his eyes.

The silence lasted for a long while, and he seemed to have figured it out, his ignorant eyes showed a bit of firmness, as if he had recognized that he was right, nodded his head to Huo Zheng, and still called out just now, "Zheng Zheng."

The hand shaking the firewood shook, Huo Zheng was suddenly speechless.The hot food in the pot is ready, he puts out the food one by one, and greets Bai Xi to serve, "Sister-in-law, you can eat."

Bai Xi swallowed softly, Huo Zheng was tall, and when he was sitting on a small stool talking to the other party, he had to lift his whole head up, like a small animal squatting up, and asked the other party uncertainly, "Give me something to eat." ?”

Seeing Huo Zheng nodding, he touched his stomach, hurriedly put his hand into the hot dish in the bowl, and put it all in his mouth to chew.

Huo Zheng didn't have time to stop the words, Bai Xi licked his tongue and spat out all the vegetables on the ground, his eye sockets quickly turned red, and his eyes were round and round, full of tears.

"Hot, so hot..."

Huo Zheng quickly poured tea for him, the tea was cold, Bai Xi took a sip, it was cold and bitter, but it was Huo Zheng who poured it for him, Huo Zheng is a good man, he had to drink it.

Bai Xi's eyebrows were tightened, and he insisted on pouring a cup of herbal tea into his stomach, seeing the tea leaves stuck to the bottom of the cup, he stretched out his hand to pull them out to put it in his mouth.

The corners of Huo Zheng's eyes twitched, he pulled him across his arms, shook his head, "No."

"?" Bai Xi lowered his head to look at the tea leaves on his fingers, and when he opened his mouth, there was a bitter taste in his mouth, "Don't you need to eat?"

Bai Xi's reaction was different from ordinary people, which made Huo Zheng faintly guess.

He was a little weak, Bai Xi threw away the tea leaves and grabbed the vegetables with his hands again, now he understood that the vegetables were too hot to be stuffed into his stomach immediately, and he blew them by his mouth for a while before eating them.Huo Zheng remained silent, Bai Xi grabbed half of the oil in his hand, he picked up a pair of bamboo chopsticks, and handed them to Bai Xi, "...Sister-in-law, use the bamboo chopsticks to pick up vegetables."

Bai Xi had never used bamboo chopsticks when eating at Bai's house, he was puzzled, grasped the bamboo chopsticks horizontally in his palm, looked left and right, shook his head and said, "I don't know how."

Huo Zheng picked up another pair of bamboo chopsticks and showed him how to pick them up. Bai Xi tried to follow suit, but he couldn't pick them up.

"Zhengzheng, I won't."

Huo Zheng was wrong, and corrected: "... Huo Zheng."

Bai Xi was firm, "clank." Regarding the initial impression, his attitude was rarely firm.

"..." Huo Zheng had no choice but to teach cooking with chopsticks in silence.

After a meal, Bai Xi eats hard but satisfyingly. He is not picky about what he eats. As long as he can eat it, it is delicious to him. Compared with eating grass in the past, human food makes him full of curiosity.

After the meal, Bai Xi followed Huo Zheng back to the main house. The candles in the house were about to burn out, so Huo Zheng found new wax to light it up. On the first day Huo Qianjun left, he had to watch the night. Candles cannot be extinguished on the night after a person dies. It's dark and cold outside, and if you don't pay attention, you can't find your way home.

The candles were lit one by one, and while Huo Zheng was lighting the candles, Bai Xi saw the red hijab lying on the ground that had just slipped off, so she picked it up and put the hijab back on.

Bai Xi didn't understand what the cover was for, but today it was on his head for a whole day, so he had no choice but to keep it on his head.

After Huo Zheng changed the candle, he turned around and almost bumped into Bai Xi who was standing behind him at some point.When he saw clearly that Bai Xi put the mandarin duck red hijab back on his back, he closed his eyes and opened them again, it was fine, his temper was gone.

Huo Zheng pondered, "Sister-in-law, you can take off the hijab."

"Oh!" Bai Xi obediently tore off her hijab, revealing a delicate smiling face.

Huo Zheng pointed in one direction, Bai Xi followed, Huo Zheng said: "Go in here, turn left, and rest in the inner room."

Bai listened and understood, followed Huo Zheng's instructions, entered the house, turned left, turned...

He stepped into the door with his legs, but he didn't pay attention to the threshold under the door. People in the village set the threshold higher. When Huo Zheng turned around, he heard the sound of falling from inside.He rushed in quickly, and Bai Xi lay on the ground, tripped and fell over the threshold, didn't make any strange noises, just lay there sullenly.

"sister in law!"

Huo Zheng rushed to Bai Xi's side, hesitated for a moment, and quickly helped him up.

Bai Xi stumbled hard with this fall, the dirt floor in an ordinary house is much harder than the grass, and when he fell down and hit his head on the floor, his forehead hurt, his nose hurt, his mouth hurt, everything hurt.

Bai Xihong's eyes and nose were red, and his teeth were clenched on his lips.After being helped into the inner room by Huo Zheng, he tugged at the other party, took a breath and whispered: "Zhengzheng, I feel so hurt..."

"Where did you hurt yourself?" Huo Zheng was inconvenient to check his body, his thin white fingers dabbed on the top of his nose, his cheeks bulged, and he looked like he wanted to cry.

"Here..." As soon as he finished speaking, two streams of warm and bright red liquid flowed out of his nose.

Bai Xi was a healthy rabbit. When he was a rabbit, he had never had a nose bleed. He was so frightened that he grasped Huo Zheng's clothes with his fingers, and asked in grief, "Am I going to die..."
