The Lady of the Farm in the Red Mansion

"Yeah! Happiness is not measured by wealth. Just like me and Brother Mu, although we have nothing, we have each other. This is enough. As long as two people who love each other are together, even if we eat bran and swallow vegetables It's as sweet as it is!"

At this time, Xiuyan saw that Zheng Daguan's face was a little stiff, and he tried hard to squeeze out a smile, but he just couldn't.

Xiuyan realized that her words might hurt Zheng Daguan, she quickly explained: "Brother Zheng, I didn't mean that, you are a good man, I think Ruyan must have regretted it!"

Zheng Daguan stood up, looked at the darkening sky in the west and said: "Actually, I was also at fault for that matter. I neglected her. Career is important, but a girl's youth is also very precious. I delayed her." After so many years, without giving her a clear answer, if I could read her mind earlier, even if I make less money, I will bring her by my side!"

Yes, women are emotional animals who are afraid of loneliness. Once you let her be alone, she will fall into the arms of the opposite sex as long as she meets a slightly better opposite sex. Xiuyan has done such stupid things many times before. There is even no guarantee that she will not make the same mistakes in the future. How many women are really smart and strong-willed, especially in such a society where men are strong and women are weak, how many women can be truly independent.

Xiuyan is fortunate that her elder brother Mu can always be by her side.

"Okay, it's getting late, I'll take you back!" Zheng Daguan suddenly turned his head and said to Xiuyan.

Xiuyan raised her head and looked at the sky, ah, it was getting dark, she and Zheng Daguan were so absorbed in chatting about Ruyan that she forgot the time, and didn't know if Brother Mu had eaten, a trace of guilt welled up in her heart , she knelt down, rowed the boat ashore by herself, and came to a steamed stuffed bun shop.Pressing his empty purse, he swallowed.

Zheng Daguan saw Xiuyan's embarrassment, and said first: "Let the girl accompany Zheng for a certain day, but forgot to invite the girl to dinner. In front is the Heji Restaurant, let's have dinner, and Zheng will take the girl back to the mountain." !"

"Okay!" Because she was too hungry, Xiuyan was not polite.

The food and wine were served quickly, and Xiuyan took a few mouthfuls and started packing.

Of course Zheng Daguan knew that Xiuyan was thinking about the one on the mountain.He called the waiter in the store to settle the bill, and then sent Xiuyan back to the mountain.

Walking halfway up the mountain, seeing the oil lamps in the cabin, Zheng Daguan knew that there was a man waiting for her in the cabin, and Zheng Daguan stood there motionless.

Xiuyan turned her head and shouted: "Brother Zheng, go sit in the cabin!"

Zheng Daguan squinted his eyes and said with a smile: "No, I'm afraid that some people don't like to see my face!" Although the tone was joking, it was true.

"Okay! Then I'll go up first, and you should be careful on the way!" After finishing speaking, he turned and went up the mountain.

"Xiuyan!" Zheng Daguan suddenly stopped her.

"Brother Zheng. Is there anything else?"

Xiuyan turned her head, her smile was so pure and serene, Zheng Daguan blinked fascinatedly, then lowered his head and untied a money bag from his waist and threw it at Xiuyan, Xiuyan caught it as soon as she stretched out her hand.

Zheng Daguan squinted his eyes and said with a pleasant smile: "Sister Xiuyan, Brother Zheng is leaving for another boat tomorrow. I'm afraid I won't be able to visit you during this time. This bag of money is enough for you to use for a while. If the money If I haven’t come back after using it up, you go to my housekeeper. I will tell him before I leave, and he won’t make things difficult for you!”

"Brother Zheng! Why are you so kind to us?" Zheng Daguanren's words from the lungs moved Xiuyan to tears. He knew that it was impossible for her and him, but he was still so kind to them.

"Silly girl. If you really want to thank me, let me hug you!"

"En!" Xiuyan threw herself into his arms without hesitation.

Xiuyan is not like Li Mu, she doesn't always think bad about people, even if it's a hug, she only regards it as the most basic trust and etiquette between people.

In fact, Zheng Daguan's embrace of Xiuyan was just a farewell before leaving.He gently stroked her temples like a brother to a sister, and finally kissed her boldly on the forehead, then turned around and walked down the mountain, waving his arms while walking and said: "Xiuyan, I wish you all the best!" You are happy!"

Xiuyan recovered from the shock, and when she heard him say blessings, she smiled lightly, amplified the sound with her hand, and shouted to the back of Zheng Daguan who was drifting away: "Brother Zheng, take care all the way, we are on the mountain a!"

The night was dim, and Zheng Daguan's back became more and more blurred. Xiuyan didn't hear Zheng Daguan's reply, but seemed to see him waving his arms, as if saying goodbye to her.

Looking at the back of Zheng Daguan who was drifting away in the night, Xiuyan's heart was very heavy. She didn't know why, but she always had a very bad premonition, and always felt that something big was going to happen tonight.

She looked up at the hazy moonlight, then at the flickering oil lamp on the mountain, patted her face and said, "Xing Xiuyan, what are you thinking about, Brother Zheng, a good man is rewarded, how can something happen?" Woolen cloth!"

She suddenly felt that the bad premonition she had inexplicably just now was very funny!

She took a deep breath, regained her spirits, and ran towards the cabin on the top of the mountain.

"Brother Mu, let's see what delicious food I brought back for you!" Before entering the house, Xiuyan waved the beggar J and daughter Hong and shouted excitedly.

The door was ajar, and it opened with a slight push, and there was no one in the room except the bean lamp. Xiuyan slowly lowered the hands of beggar Ji and Nvnvhong, and she leisurely He went to the table and sat down, pouted, kicked the table legs, and said to himself: "It's so late, where is Brother Mu going?"

She propped her chin with one hand, looked at the golden beggar, and then looked outside the door, just waiting for him quietly, feeling a little sleepy while waiting, she yawned, lying on the table I fell asleep right away.

When the wind picked up, the bean lamps flickered, as if they were about to be extinguished at any moment. With a loud bang, Xiuyan was awakened. She looked around with her cold arms in her arms, only to find that the window frame had been blown off. Suddenly, light raindrops drifted in from the window. She climbed onto the couch and was about to close the window, but suddenly there was a man's footsteps outside the door.

Xiuyan could hear that it was Brother Mu's footsteps. She didn't care to close the window, and ran to the door in a hurry, and pulled the latch. Outside the door stood a tall figure, with her hair tightly stuck to her scalp. , the clothes were also wet by the rain, and they were tightly attached to his body. His face was expressionless, and he looked a little scary, but Xiuyan clearly recognized him as his brother Mu.

She reached out to pull his hand, and when her fingers touched his fingertips, she retracted unconsciously. His fingers were as cold as ice, and her eyes followed his hand holding the sword, washed by the rain. There was obviously a trace of residual blood on the tip of the sword, Xiuyan's heart trembled, and she asked: "What did you do?"

Li Mu's face that was as cold as ice suddenly broke into a smile, and he replied: "I went hunting! But I only got one hare!"

"Really?" Why did Xiuyan think his smile was so weird!

Li Muyang threw the rabbit hidden behind him to the ground, and said with a smile, "Okay, my stomach is growling with hunger, go get me something to eat!" Li Mu rubbed his stomach pitifully.

"It's been prepared a long time ago, but it's a pity that it's cold, I'll go and warm it up for you!" Seeing him throwing the rabbit, Xiuyan no longer doubted him.

After eating and drinking, Li Mu took a hot bath and fell asleep with Xiuyan in his arms. He had nothing to do all night. (To be continued.)
