Peony Overlord [Rebirth]

Spring is also here in Lin'an, and the weather is getting warmer. The number of patients coming to Qing'an Hospital is more than half that of winter.

Xing Qingzhang was feeling the pulse of others. Ping An had nothing to do recently. He moved a small bench and sat beside Xing Qingzhang, propping his head with his hands. He didn't know what he was looking at. After a long while, his round eyes narrowed, showing a look of sudden enlightenment. expression.

Yun Jiming and Qian Yi didn't come today, and Xing Qingzhang didn't know what happened, and he didn't know where to find it if he wanted to ask, so he had to sit down peacefully to see a doctor.

When he was resting, Xing Qingzhang felt that Ping An was very quiet today, took a sip of the tea beside him, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Pingan went from being suddenly enlightened to being puzzled, with countless expressions flashing across his face, and he asked in a daze, "Brother, don't you think something is wrong?"

"What?" Xing Qingzhang asked.

Ping An didn't know what to say, so he hesitated for a long time before saying, "That's right, that's right, there are no women at all among the people who came, except for some young ladies."

"No women?" Xing Qingzhang frowned, as if he was thinking about something.

Pingan nodded vigorously, and said, "Yes, I didn't notice it before, but I've been watching these days, and there are no women in the patients, not even girls my age."

Noisy yelling came in from outside the house, adding a bit of vitality to the damp and dark room. The smell of medicine mixed with the fragrance of vegetables from outside, forming an indescribable smell.

Xing Qingzhang got up, Ping An grabbed him, and heard him say before asking: "Ping An, let's go out and have a look."

The two closed the door and walked around the streets where the refugees gathered most.

"Is there a woman here?" Xing Qingzhang asked.

Ping An looked carefully, but there were men's figures, he said, "Brother, there is no such thing here."

They have already walked almost all the big and small streets of Lin'an, and the originally bright sky has also darkened.

As expected, all the refugees and beggars were men, without a single woman.

Logically speaking, it shouldn't be like this. How could there be only men who escaped from the disaster, and it should be mostly women and children.

On the way back, the two happened to meet Yun Jiming and Qian Yi. The two of them were walking towards the Qing'an Courtyard. They were a little surprised when they saw Xing Qingzhang. Yun Jiming had never seen this person go out before, and he was used to him staying indoors all the time. Here, when I saw people on the crowded street, I was a little taken aback.

"What are you two going to do?" Yun saw that Xing Qingzhang was not wearing a coat, and although it was spring, the night wind was still biting, so he took off his coat and put it on for Xing Qingzhang.

They were so familiar that they didn't need to say any more polite words, Xing Qingzhang naturally accepted the clothes Yun Jiming put on him, nodded thankfully to him, and said: "Ping An is bored in the house, let's go out and have a look."

Yun Jiming didn't believe that Xing Qingzhang and Xing Qingzhang were just out for a stroll. After all, the Xing Qingzhang in his mind only had the lives of the common people in his heart.

He didn't speak, but responded, Qian Yi received peace, and the four of them walked towards Qing'an Yuan.

When I came back, it was already dark.

"Why are you two here now?" Xing Qingzhang asked, after all, at this time, normally, it should be the time for the two of them to go back.

Just as Qian Yi was about to speak back, he thought of something, and looked aside at Yun Jiming.

Yun Jiming didn't look at him, so he avoided the seriousness and said lightly: "Something happened at home, I'm busy now, come and have a look."

Xing Qingzhang didn't ask much, and nodded to show that he knew.

"Ping'an, let's go, let's make the medicine for tomorrow." Qian Yi noticed the strange atmosphere, found an excuse, hugged Ping'an by the waist and walked towards the backyard.

"Why go? I'll get the medicine tomorrow!" Ping An struggled back and forth in Qian Yi's arms. He didn't want to leave Xing Qingzhang, but Qian Yi's strength was far greater than his, and he hugged his arms directly. Honest kids go to the backyard.

The front door has been closed, only Xing Qingzhang and Yun Jiming are left in the room, none of them speak first, they have their own thoughts and try to test each other.

"How did you go out to play today?" Yun Jiming poured a cup of tea to Xing Qingzhang, and Xing Qingzhang took it, spreading the warmth from his fingertips.

Xing Qingzhang nodded with a smile, and said, "That's right. Since I came to Lin'an, I haven't gone out to have a good time. I have a rare free time today. I took Ping An to taste the food here. It tastes good."

Yun Jiming poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip, chuckled, and said, "Oh? What did you eat?"

"..." Unexpectedly, he thought about it, but he never thought that Yun Jiming would continue to ask. He didn't care about what to eat along the way, and he didn't even ask a question.

"This..." Xing Qingzhang hesitated to speak, who knows what good food is available in Lin'an.

Who knew that Yun Jiming suddenly changed the subject, and suddenly asked, "Where's Qin Chuan's food? Do you remember?"

"!"

It has to be said that Yun Jiming always has the ability to trap people in a trap, and Xing Qingzhang has never even been to Qinchuan, so what can he say.

If he thought about it at this time, he would definitely be suspected by the people in front of him, Xing Qingzhang could only tell the truth: "Ping An and I went to see the refugees, Changzhou."

This sound of Cheung Chau was very applicable, Yun Jiming was very satisfied, he stopped embarrassing him, and asked, "What did you see?"

Xing Qingzhang finished his tea before he said slowly, "Didn't you notice that among all the refugees, there is not a single woman or girl."

"Are you sure?" Yun Jiming suddenly turned serious, and the teasing just now disappeared.

Xing Qingzhang nodded and answered in the affirmative.

The wind tonight is much colder than the previous few days. Seeing that the spring banquet will be held tomorrow, all the servants are busy in the front yard tonight, even the green bamboo and jade lotus are called to help.

After Chu Xinle and Chen Fan had practiced kung fu, Huo Gang sent them to sleep.

These days, Chu Xinle has made rapid progress, and in addition, Chu Songcun also taught him some self-defense techniques before. His natural intelligence allowed him to incorporate his own advantages into the swordsmanship taught by Huo Gang, and he realized a set of self-defense skills. This surprised Huo Gang quite a bit. After the two of them entered the house, Huo Gang put away his sword. There were no stars in the sky tonight, so he breathed out towards the sky.

He also remembered the words that Chu Xinle said to him in He's house in Yandu - "Judging people by their appearance, loses Ziyu."

Huo Gang smiled, he saw the right person, this child is thoughtful, he is by no means as beautiful as he looks, inside the harmless shell is full of ambition.

Chu Xinle was covered in sweat. When Chu Xinle drank tea, Chen Fan had already prepared hot water and went back to her room.After taking a shower, he put on a pair of dry dirty clothes and went into the back room.

But today there is no one in the room, it is empty, just himself, these days Xing Yanhong would come over every night to sleep with him, at first Chu Xinle refused him, but who is the third son of the Xing family, a shameless person, who resisted He has never been used here, he can sleep wherever he wants.

I didn't come today, but it was a little strange to Chu Xinle who was used to it. He put those useless thoughts behind him, and naturally wanted to blow the lamp, but he stopped when he bent down. Tonight was different from before. For several nights, he had to sleep by himself.

Chu Xinle straightened up, lay down on the bed, and instinctively shrunk in, leaving half of the couch outside, without even realizing it.

There were insects chirping outside the house, Chu Xinle felt that the quilt was hot, so she kicked them all away childishly, the cold wind from outside blew in, cooling him down, and gradually becoming drowsy.

It was dark in the dim room, someone covered him with a quilt, lay down beside him, wrapped his arms around his waist and held him in his arms.

Chu Xinle woke up, but she was in a daze and refused to open her eyes. She only glanced at Xing Yanhong, closed her eyes again, and asked, "What did you go to, and you only come back now."

Xing Yanhong was taken aback for a moment, and the corner of his mouth was filled with a smile, even Chu Xinle didn't realize that he was already used to this wide and warm embrace.

"I thought you didn't want me to come." Xing Yanhong didn't answer him, but whispered to him softly.

Chu Xinle ignored him, closed her eyes and remained motionless, breathing evenly as if falling asleep.

"Yi An." Xing Yanhong called softly, but got no response, he hugged him tightly, closed his eyes, and murmured before falling asleep: "Among the refugees, there are no women..."

As he spoke, there was no sound, replaced by even and long breathing.

But Xing Yanhong didn't see it. When Chu Xinle heard these words, her eyes opened with clarity without chaos.

A day is shorter than they thought, and when they pack up, it will be almost the scheduled time.

Xing Yanhong still wore a well-washed black suit, and did not prepare new clothes just because his father and second sister came.

He had been waiting at the gate of the city a long time ago, seeing Yun, Mu, and Xue's family coming in one by one, leaving only the Xing family.

Jiuyuan is far away in the far north, so it is really inconvenient to come here. Standing beside Xing Yanhong, Lin Hao saw that his master's previous lazy appearance had dissipated completely. When he entered Runan, he just stood inside and looked at the city gate. His eyes were full of unwillingness and indulgence, but time has passed, and he stood here again today. In the same position, Lin Hao found that his master's eyes were filled with eyes that had never been seen before. Some are calm and mature.

Did Xing Yanping send the two of them here regardless of Xing Yanhong's wishes, was it really a helpless and distressing move?

Lin Hao felt that he seemed to understand something, he looked at Xing Yanhong, but found that his master understood it earlier than him.

The sound of horseshoes shook his chest, and Jiuyuan's horse was strong and powerful. Xing Yanhong saw Xing Yanping walking in the front. He was not wearing armor, his gray hair was tied into a high bun, and he was wearing a black suit similar to Xing Yanhong's. The two were very similar. , Just looking over, it makes people feel oppressed.

And behind Xing Yanping is Xing Yanhong's second sister, Xing Lingjun. She doesn't look like Xing Yanping, but looks like her mother. Her simple and natural face can't hide her heroic spirit. She is darker than when we met a year ago Some were thinner, and their original delicateness was replaced by a valiant and heroic appearance. The Jiuyuan female eagle, who was admired by the Central Plains, was not inferior to Xing Yanping in the slightest.

Xing Yanping looked over with a pair of sharp eagle eyes, Xing Yanhong stood straight and looked at Xing Yanping, the ringing horseshoes in their ears disappeared, replaced by the laughter of Xing Yanhong and Xing Yanping when they were children, they met across the crowd Look, a year is not long but not short. Some things have changed, but many things remain the same as usual.
