take in

Pei Sheng was nowhere to be seen at that time, the market in the east of the city was far away, it would take more than half an hour just to walk, let alone carry the burden.

At five o'clock, Pei Sheng was already sitting in the courtyard drinking tea with a calm expression.

Pei Sheng's hand had thick joints, and a tea bowl in his hand made it look much smaller.

During many silent nights, it was this hand that explored Du Ruo's body, kneaded his thin and flexible waist, and caught his bruised, purple, red, swollen, invisible traces.

"Are you back?" Seeing that he was hesitating and hesitant, Pei Sheng put down the bowl and looked at him.

Du Ruo tightened the wooden basin in his arms, knowing that he couldn't hide it, so he lowered his head and walked forward cautiously, showing the breach timidly for him to see, and gestured in the air with his red hand soaked in the river water. , begged Pei Sheng to get some thread needles so that he could mend it.

Pei Sheng grabbed his clothes and looked at him for a while, then slowly raised his eyes to look at him.

"Break it and throw it away.

When I go out later, I remember to hang up the other clothes to dry. "

Hearing what he said, Du Ruo looked distressed and felt a little ashamed in his heart.

But now that Pei Sheng had spoken, he didn't refute. He nodded obediently on his face, and after hanging up the clothes, he ran back to the house to search for needles and threads.

Needle and thread, I think they are stored in a low cabinet.

Du Ruo looked around, but he didn't even find the low cabinet.

He bit his lower lip and had no choice but to turn over again.

All of a sudden, the dust was everywhere, causing his chest to suffocate, he couldn't help coughing, his feet were unsteady, and he bumped into the cabinet.

Du Ruo's vision blurred, and he saw a ball of needle thread rolling to the ground and scattered in a circle.

He was overjoyed, and quickly picked it up to read.

It's a pity, maybe it's been a long time, the thread has rotted into pieces, and the needle is also bent.

Just thinking about what to do, there were soft footsteps outside the house.

Du Ruo turned to look, and Lin San poked his head out from under the window.

Seeing Du Ruo, Lin San retreated from his cautious expression, and put on a big smile instead.

When he met the girl in the village, he realized that Du Ruo was hoarse and could not speak. Last time, he talked nonsense to himself and wanted to offend others.

Hearing that Du Ruo had returned home, he thought of coming to make an apology, but he couldn't help grinning when he met him.

"Hey, brother," Lin San smirked "hehe", "what are you doing?"

Du Ruo smiled shyly, two sweet dimples were sunken on the left and right sides of her small face, and she spread her white jade-like hands, revealing the tangled silk threads inside.

"It's sewing, you are so virtuous."

Lin San had a big heart and didn't notice that Du Ruo's expression froze.

"My family has them, but there are many of them. My mother and sister lock themselves in the house all day long to do all kinds of tricks. I'll find some for you right away."

Young people are reckless, but they also say what they say.

When he came back, a roll of red silk thread was already in front of Du Ruo, and a thin silver needle was dangling on the tail of the red thread, and Lin San's heart was also shaking, he was like a man who offered treasures to his lover, and the other party He would give whatever he wanted, and after it was done, he was afraid that the other party would dislike what he did.

Du Ruo hesitated for a moment, thinking about what to exchange, it's not easy to take other people's things for nothing.

After thinking about it, he didn't have anything, but he didn't dare to borrow money from Pei Sheng.

Lin San said, "This is my gift for you, so you don't need to pay me back. My uncle is doing some fabric business in the city, and my family has too many silk reeling and dyeing threads. It's not worth a lot of money."

He didn't see Du Ruo frowning and resigning in sorrow, so he quickly changed the subject, "By the way, you've been here not long ago. I didn't know there was a grass market nearby. It's very interesting there. How about I take you there?"

Du Ruo blinked, pointed outside, and made a gesture of drinking tea.

Lin San's face turned green in an instant, and he yelled: "What! Isn't he usually outside at this time, why did he come back today!" He was so frightened and restless that he couldn't hold his voice for a while. .

Du Ruo also shocked him, his eyes widened.

With a "creak", the door suddenly opened, and Pei Sheng's tall figure blocked the outside, covering the room in darkness.

He walked in slowly like a spirit, glanced at Lin San, and asked: "You are not at your own house to cool off, what are you doing at my house?" Abba aba" for half a day.

He caught sight of Du Ruo's astonished eyes, and guessed wildly in his heart—according to the story in the script, Pei Sheng would definitely think that he was having an affair with his man, and Du Ruoyu was like a human being, and couldn't bear such beatings, so he would definitely Protect Du Ruo!Sooner or later, he kicked his feet and ran in front of Du Ruo, with his arms open like a hen protecting a chick.

"You, you, you, don't do anything to him, come at me if you have the guts!" Du Ruo still didn't know what happened, and hugged Pei Sheng's torn clothes stupidly, with a dull expression on his face.

Pei Sheng gave an impatient "tsk" and cursed, "What the hell, the brat has swine fever, for no reason."

Picking up the broom, he just smoked it. Lin San screamed and ran all over the room.

Lin San fought hard, but still lost to Pei Sheng, so Pei Sheng picked it up and threw it outside the chai gate.

No, Lin Baozhu was standing alone outside the door, holding a jar of wine in his hand, before he approached, he saw his younger brother being thrown out, rolling all the way in front of him.

Lin San was thrown and rolled in the soil a few times, ate a lot of soil, lay down at her sister's feet in disgrace, and yelled "Ouch", and when she had enough, she sat up again and vomited "Bah, bah, bah".

Lin Baozhu covered her mouth, and screamed in a low voice—"Ah!" After a moment, she recovered and smiled: "What kind of stupid thing are you doing, so that Brother Pei is willing to deal with you personally?" The white flowers beside her trembled with the steps, making Lin Baozhu more delicate than flowers.

"Brother Pei, this is my family's newly brewed sweet-scented osmanthus wine. My mother asked me to share some with everyone. No, I'll bring it to you. You can try it."

Pei Sheng lowered his eyes and said coldly, "I don't drink."

"It's stuffed with sweet-scented osmanthus, sweet but not greasy, not intoxicating."

Lin Baozhu covered her mouth and smiled, and tried to persuade her a few more words.

Pei Sheng only felt that she was difficult to deal with, so he had no choice but to accept her.

Lin San got up cursing and swearing: "What a shameless black-faced ghost, he beat me up for taking my wine!" After delivering the wine, Lin Baozhu didn't leave immediately, looked inside carefully, and asked carefully: "Pei Big Brother, when will that... distant relative of yours come out and let’s meet? Neighbors can also chat with each other.”

She still hasn't been able to see that person, it seems that God has failed her wish and always made her miss the opportunity to investigate.

Lin Baozhu unnaturally held the flower next to her ear, she dressed up carefully today, much more refined than usual, if she could meet that person, she was confident that she would not be left behind.

Lin Baozhu's careful thinking, Pei Sheng naturally understood the truth, but he was very upset about his children's love, so he said perfunctorily: "He is timid and doesn't like to see people, let's talk later when we have time, and walk slowly. "

"So I take offense."

When Lin Baozhu saw that he had issued the order to evict the guest, her face was covered with ashes with a resentful expression.

Pei Sheng didn't bother to look at her face, and entered the house with the broom and wine without looking back.

Going back to the room with a cold face, Du Ruo trembled like a frightened bird when she opened the door, hid the things in her hands behind her back, turned around and opened her eyes timidly, like a vigilant cat.

A half piece of white clothes was lying behind him, Pei Sheng spotted it at a glance, he didn't touch it, and after a few instructions, he put down the broom, packed up and went out.

Du Ruo tensed her body, and only let out a heavy breath when Pei Sheng walked away.

His heart was still pounding, and he was worried that Pei Sheng would say a few more words when he saw that he was mending his clothes, or he might just throw it away for him.

He just wanted to be useful, just a little bit.

Generally speaking, Pei Sheng went out at this time and would not come back until it was dark, so Du Ruo could just take advantage of this time to work.

After he mended it, he secretly mixed the clothes with other clothes. If this evil spirit surnamed Pei sees that he has intentions, the next life will be easier.

Needlework, sewing and mending, the thin long needles shuttled between the rough fabrics. Du Ruo couldn't remember why he was so proficient, so he could only guess that when he was a child, his family was poor and he had to live a life of sewing and mending for three years. Just learn some needlework to tidy up yourself.

It's just that for some reason, the wrist of the right hand is always useless, and it is also the same when carrying the wooden basin in the morning. Du Ruo can only hold the basin with his left hand, holding the whole basin in his arms. All soft.

Du Ruo stopped, his eyes fell on his wrist, thoughtfully, a hideous and distorted scar on his wrist landed on the fresh snow-like skin with claws and claws, one could not help but fear the cruelty of the perpetrator.

The scarlet silk thread became shorter and shorter, and the setting sun slid in, grabbing the tail of the thread and dangling.

Du Ruo picked up a pair of scissors, cut off the excess, and tied a knot with the thread to prevent the mending from loosening.

Spreading out the collar in his hand, it was patched crookedly, like a disgusting and ugly centipede.

Du Ruo used the needle with his left hand, which is not very common, but he made it like this.

Fortunately, this is a middle coat, and people won't be able to see it if you wear it inside, otherwise Pei Sheng will throw it away and feed it to the dogs.

Du Ruo thumped his shoulder.

My eyes are blurred, my fingers are sore, and my wrists are painful.

As the moonlight rose, he searched for the oil lamp in the dark and lit it, and the bean-sized orange-red light danced slowly.

Du Ruo picked up firewood, boiled water, and poured buckets of hot water into the bath.
