[Seven-five] Sunflowers are warm

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the summer heat gradually receded, and Xu Xiangyang suddenly realized that he had worn it for nearly a year.Think about the situation when you first came, and now, it is very different.She carefully counted the private house, and unknowingly saved more than six taels and a plain silver hairpin.In fact, if Bai Yutang's five liang of silver was removed to treat her injuries, she would only have a little more than one liang of silver on hand now.

Although life is much better now than it was at the beginning, she is still a little at a loss about the future.In any case, it is always more at ease to have money on hand.Therefore, she continued to embroider and do handwork, saving her private house for emergencies.

Today she took her embroidery to Jinxiufang to do business. Shopkeeper Yao stared at her clothes with bright eyes for a long time, and said with a smile: "Miss Xu, the embroidery pattern on your clothes is very special, I have never seen it before."

Xu Xiangyang was wearing a light pink double-breasted beige, with lace patterns embroidered on the shoulders. It was completely different from ordinary flowers and plants, and it was refreshing.In fact, she felt that the clothes were too plain after finishing the clothes, so she embroidered lace patterns for a little embellishment, but the effect was surprisingly good. "It's just a random drawing, which makes you laugh."

Shopkeeper Yao looked at it carefully. The pattern was simple and simple, but also complicated. The embroidered fabric revealed the underlying fabric indistinctly. It had a wonderful hollow effect, which was very special. "Where, this pattern is very special, can you sell it to me?"

Xu Xiangyang was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that lace patterns could be sold for money, so he agreed with a smile.Shopkeeper Yao was also happy, "If you have such a pattern, I will draw it all, and I will want it." The embroidery workshop relies on embroidery workers and patterns, and only novel and beautiful patterns can retain customers.

After leaving Jinxiu Workshop, Xu Xiangyang meditated on the lace pattern in his heart.Although I used a lot of lace in the past, I never looked carefully and remembered it.The pattern on this dress is just drawn casually according to the characteristics of lace, if you really want to draw other styles, you have to work hard.Fortunately, lace is mostly a symmetrical continuous pattern, it is still possible to calm down and draw one or two according to the vague memory.

She was concentrating on her thoughts when someone patted her on the shoulder and turned her head instinctively. Before she could figure out what was going on, someone covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief and immediately lost consciousness.

Stepping into the yard, Zhan Zhao felt that today was a little different from usual, it was quiet, Xu Xiangyang was not there.He felt a little strange, usually at this time she was cooking, or feeding the chickens and watering the flowers and plants, where did she go today?He didn't think much of it, thinking she would be back soon.It wasn't until the sky turned dark that no one was seen, and then I felt something was wrong.She is a measured person and will not return late for no reason.

With a trace of confusion, he went to Mrs. Wang's place first, but Xu Xiangyang was not there.Sister-in-law Wang also felt that something was wrong, Xu Xiangyang had few friends and had nowhere to go, so she hurriedly asked Zhan Zhao to go to Guan Xu's place to have a look, maybe it was delayed there.When Xu Xiangyang was not seen at Guan Xu's place, Zhan Zhao couldn't help being a little worried, if she wasn't in these two places, where would she go?

"Ms. Xu is not a casual person. If she goes out, she should let you know. If she doesn't come back at this time, could something happen? Brother Zhan, think about it carefully, where else will she go?"

"She lives in seclusion on weekdays. Except for Mrs. Wang and you, she goes to Jinxiufang every now and then. When I came, I went to Jinxiufang to ask. Shopkeeper Yao said that Xiangyang had indeed been there today, and left after chatting for a while. If she Without you, I really don't know where she would go."

Guan Xu thought for a while, then suddenly said: "She asked me to inquire about a person named Yu Hua, and said she was doing it for an old man. Judging from her tone, it seems that she has a good relationship with the old man. Could it be that the old man died? What's the matter, she went to help?"

Zhan Zhao frowned, "Grandma Lin in Anping Lane, she often goes to take care of her." But that's all he knew, and he didn't know where Granny Lin lived.For her, he was always slow-witted, and he always waited until something happened to realize that he knew nothing about her.Just about to bid farewell to Guan Xu and go for a walk in Anping Lane, he suddenly saw Chao Chao hurriedly looking for him.With a thought in mind, he quickly stepped forward, "Chao Dynasty, why are you here?"

"Master Zhan, just now a beggar sent a letter to Kaifeng Mansion, it's for you." He took out the letter from his pocket and handed it to him, "There is something inside, I don't know what it is."

Zhan Zhao quickly opened it, and the contents of the envelope slipped out—the agate hairpin!

"This is..." Guan Xu felt that the hairpin looked familiar, but he couldn't remember it clearly.Chao Dynasty was also at a loss, what to do with Mrs. Zhan's woman's things?Zhan Zhao's face was solemn, and his voice was low and hoarse, "This is Xiangyang's hairpin!"

Guan Xu and Wang Chao suddenly changed their faces. There is no doubt that something happened to Xu Xiangyang.Zhan Zhao took out the letter inside and shook it open. The letter was written simply - this woman is in my hands.At noon tomorrow, see you outside the city, at the foot of Shenzhong Mountain.Signed by Li Qingyuan.

"Miss Xu was kidnapped by Boss Li?!" Chao Chao turned pale with shock, "Why did he go after Miss Xu?" Boss Li is now wanted, and instead of absconding, he went to Kaifeng to kidnap Miss Xu. Isn't that too bold? "It's just in time, let's lead our troops to encircle him!"

"No!" Guan Xu waved his hand, "It's better for Brother Zhan to go alone, and Miss Xu is in his hands. If we act rashly, we may endanger her life." What is Boss Li's plan to reveal his whereabouts at this time?Could it be that he had the determination to die?Knowing that you can't escape, you want to drag someone to die with you? "How about this, bring some people to ambush in the distance, waiting for the opportunity to move. In any case, Miss Xu's safety is the most important thing."

Zhan Zhao clenched his fists unconsciously, his knuckles turned white, he was the one who got her into trouble!

When Xu Xiangyang woke up, she found herself in a simple thatched hut. She looked around in a daze, her mind was in chaos.He got up to open the door, but found that the door was locked, turned to the window in confusion, and saw an unfamiliar scene outside.Suddenly, the door was opened and two strangers entered.She looked at them vigilantly, and suddenly realized that she had been kidnapped!

"Who are you? Why did you tie me here?" She didn't know them at all!

"Who is Zhan Zhao?" The older man looked at her with cold eyes.Xu Xiangyang was wary of the two of them, "I have nothing to do with Mr. Zhan."

"Hmph, Miss Xu, do you think I'll take you here for no reason? As far as I know, you have a close relationship with Zhan Zhao, how can you be okay?"

Xu Xiangyang held his breath, and his heart sank, "I'm a maid from Kaifeng Mansion." Are they trying to use her to coerce Zhan Zhao?Then she had to put aside her relationship with Zhan Zhao, these villains couldn't believe what they said, if she confessed her relationship with Zhan Zhao, she would die even faster.

"Maid girl? Is the maidservant going to tell soon?" The man smiled contemptuously, even if she was just a maidservant in Kaifeng Mansion, Zhan Zhao would not refuse to save her.The man behind him reminded: "Master, it's almost time."

The man looked at her darkly, and smiled inexplicably, "Let's go to Hui Zhan Zhao."

The two of them didn't get rough on Xu Xiangyang. With her thin body, even if she was allowed to run, she wouldn't be able to run far.She also understood the situation in her heart, and it was absolutely impossible for her to escape on her own, so she could only silently follow the circumstances.Xu Xiangyang didn't know that they were going to take him to get it, until he saw a familiar figure from a distance, he couldn't help but stagnate, and became flustered.That's Zhan Zhao!Before seeing him, she could barely maintain her composure, but when she saw him, she became uneasy.

"Li Qingyuan." Zhan Zhao glanced at Xu Xiangyang, seeing that she was unharmed, he felt a little settled.Then, his cold eyes locked on Boss Li.

"Zhan Zhao, didn't you expect us to meet again so soon?" Li Qingyuan's eyes were venomous, "You ruined my foundation, made me look like a rat on the street, and made me have nowhere to go! How do you repay this revenge?" After saying that, he walked around Xu Xiang Yang walked around, "You should recognize this woman, right? She said she was a maid from Kaifeng Mansion, with such delicate skin and tender flesh, she shouldn't be the maid who warms your bed?"

The wanton and dirty words made Xu Xiangyang frowned, she lowered her eyes halfway, secretly clenched her fists and endured, she never dared to look at Zhan Zhao, fearing that Li Qingyuan would catch him if she showed too much emotion.Zhan Zhao's deep voice came, "You are quite courageous, you dared to rob people in Kaifeng Mansion."

"I've already made you lose everything. What else do I have to be afraid of? I won't survive, and I won't make it easier for you." Li Qingyuan pinched Xu Xiangyang's chin violently, lifted her face, and said viciously: "You brought me down to this point, I can only repay you with this woman."

Xu Xiangyang closed her eyes and could still feel the fierce gaze. She swallowed nervously, her body trembling uncontrollably.This person is crazy!Zhan Zhao bit his jaw, frowning, Xu Xiangyang was in his hands, so he couldn't act rashly.Judging from his words, there is a tendency to die together.I don't know where Guan Xu is hiding and how to break this deadlock.

Suddenly, Xu Xiangyang felt a burst of coldness on his cheeks, and the coldness slowly slid down from his cheeks, slid across his neck and stopped at his collarbone.Xu Xiangyang's heart was beating fast, and he closed his eyes to make his sense of touch infinitely magnified. What is that coldness?As if to pierce the skin.The dagger in Li Qingyuan's hand gently moved back and forth at her collarbone, and he glanced at Zhan Zhao, "This girl has delicate skin and tender flesh, it makes one's heart itch."

Zhan Zhao gritted his teeth, he deliberately used this to humiliate her and make things difficult for him!Taking a deep breath, "What do you want?"

"No way? I mean, I want to see what kind of woman Mr. Zhan is." After saying that, the dagger cut the fabric on Xu Xiangyang's shoulder, and the dagger was lifted lightly, exposing his snow-white skin.Xu Xiangyang flinched for a moment, his heart began to panic, his intention could not be more obvious.She closed her eyes even tighter, deeply afraid that she would show any timidity and begging, and even more afraid that she would disturb Zhan Zhao's mind.I kept reassuring myself in my heart, but it was just showing my shoulders. As a time traveler, it was nothing at all.Then the panic in his heart couldn't be stopped, this was just the beginning, and he didn't know what crazy behavior he would do next.

"Stop!" Zhan Zhao yelled angrily, "You're coming after me! Why bother with irrelevant people!"

Li Qingyuan smiled evilly, "If you don't involve the innocent, how can it make you feel uncomfortable?" The dagger slid against Xu Xiangyang's skin and onto the thin belt of his apron, and he looked at Zhan Zhao in a demonstration, "Miss Xu, you should open your eyes and see Look, see how Mr. Zhan is so anxious for you."

Hearing this, Xu Xiangyang bit his lips tightly, the corners of his eyes were slightly moist, he still refused to speak, and he didn't dare to open his eyes.Now that she is being kidnapped, Zhan Zhao can't act rashly, and Li Qingyuan has no intention of letting her go.What's the use of calling for help when there's no escape?It was just expressing Li Qingyuan's wishes and embarrassing Zhan, she didn't want to embarrass him.If, if she died like this, then, would he and Ding Yuehua be able to continue their relationship?What should be returned, should be returned!More than just Zhan Zhao?Even this life is not hers!

She suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Zhan Zhao firmly. His eyes were full of anxiety. She suddenly felt that this was enough, and said decisively, "Master Zhan, leave me alone." Following her words, the dagger cut the thin belt of his bellyband , so excited that Zhan Zhao shouted angrily: "Stop!"

Not to mention Xu Xiangyang, any girl, he can't watch her being insulted!He clenched the giant gate tightly in his hand, angry in his heart, she was in his hands, he could not act rashly, he could only watch her being humiliated.Xu Xiangyang protected his chest, looked at the dagger dangling in front of his eyes, and suddenly calmed down.No matter what, Zhan Zhao will not disregard her safety, as long as she is kidnapped, he can't act rashly. She wants to find a chance to escape and give Zhan Zhao a chance.

Suddenly, Li Qingyuan let go of the dagger with a muffled snort, and the entourage around him immediately looked around vigilantly.Seeing that they were distracted, Xu Xiangyang hurried towards Zhan Zhao.Zhan Zhao's reaction was quicker than hers, his figure had flickered when Li Qingyuan was ambushed by Shi Zi, and now he was facing Xu Xiangyang.

The moment he touched her, a dagger came like a gust of wind and ruthlessly penetrated into her back.She stared wide-eyed, as if she couldn't believe it, and fell into Zhan Zhao's arms weakly.The piercing pain quickly spread from her back with her breathing, and the blood faded from her face, leaving her pale.

"Xiangyang!" Zhan Zhao caught her limp body, the dagger embedded in his back was too dazzling.He looked up at Li Qingyuan, his eyes were burning with anger, the crime was unforgivable!Xu Xiangyang gasped, "I can still hold on, don't let them run away."

Li Qingyuan really wanted to escape, but before he could move, he was stopped by Guan Xu who was lying in ambush in the dark, and Guan Xu had also thrown the stone just now.After messing up their positions, and Xu Xiangyang's cleverness, the deadlock was broken.Seeing that Xu Xiangyang was out of control, Wang Chao and others hurried forward to meet him.Zhan Zhao handed Xu Xiangyang to Wang Chao, "You take care of it for me, and I'll take Li Qingyuan down."

Wang Chao carefully supported Xu Xiangyang, with a dagger stuck in her back, bleeding continuously, looking worried. "Miss Xu, hold on!" Xu Xiangyang reluctantly nodded, the pain in her back spread with her breathing, causing her to break out in a cold sweat.Guan Xu is skilled in martial arts, and has already subdued Li Qingyuan's deputy. Seeing Zhan Zhao come to help, he said, "Brother Zhan, leave this to me. You take Miss Xu back to treat the wound first."

With a sullen face, Zhan Zhao said in a hoarse voice, "I'll be back right away!" While speaking, with a few fierce moves, Li Qingyuan's saber was knocked away, and the giant gate was pressed against his throat. He stared at him with rage in his eyes. In Jianghu, he had already taken his life with a sword.Soon, the police came around and tied up Li Qingyuan.Zhan Zhao put away his sword, turned around and walked quickly towards Xu Xiangyang.

Xu Xiangyang's face was pale, and his consciousness was a little fuzzy. He vaguely heard him eagerly calling her name, opened his eyes slightly to look at the shaking figure, responded softly, and closed his eyes again.Zhan Zhao felt anxious, and hugged Fei onto the horse, "Wang Chao, I'll leave this to you, I'll take a step first." As soon as the words fell, the horse ran away.

The bumps on the horse made Xu Xiangyang miserable, frowning tightly, she almost fell into a coma when she rushed back to Kaifeng mansion, her consciousness was already blurred, she only felt pain in her back and all her limbs.Mr. Gongsun rushed over after hearing the news, looked at the wound, his face was serious, "Guard Zhan, this injury is dangerous. If you pull out the dagger, there is a possibility that the blood will not stop. You must be prepared."

Zhan Zhao's heart trembled, his throat felt a little dry, he lowered his eyes to look at Xu Xiangyang's paler face, and couldn't speak.The dagger must be pulled out, but can she hold it?If you can't hold it...Mr. Gongsun said softly: "Miss Xu's injury can't be delayed."

He looked at Mr. Gongsun, feeling a little timid in his heart, and seeing the continuous bleeding from the wound, he finally nodded slowly.Mr. Gongsun cut off the clothes on Xu Xiangyang's wound, held the dagger, and said in a deep voice, "I will pull out the dagger, and you should immediately block the wound with gauze to stop the bleeding."

When the dagger was pulled out, Xu Xiangyang was shocked, and the blood from the wound gushed out, making Zhan Zhao's eyes red.The gauze pressing the wound was soon soaked red.Seeing the blood gushing from his fingertips, Zhan Zhao's voice trembled, "Mr. Gongsun, the blood won't stop!" What should I do!

Mr. Gongsun quickly sprinkled medicine on the wound, and then blocked the wound with clean gauze.The gauze was dyed red again and again, and Zhan Zhao's face turned pale. Could she not be able to hold on?Fortunately, despite the danger, the blood gradually stopped.Mr. Gongsun breathed a long sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, "The bleeding has stopped, you bandage her up, and I'll go decoct the medicine." She is not out of danger yet, and she still has fever at night. not sure.

The hanging heart calmed down a little, but can the wound be bandaged?He hesitated a little.Dazed for a moment, he hurriedly washed off the blood on his hands, fetched some hot water and returned to the room.Carefully wipe off the blood stains on her body, and then it's embarrassing.Bandaging the wound meant taking off her clothes, this...hesitating for a moment, then resolutely took off her clothes.Although the situation was embarrassing, they were husband and wife, so it was reasonable for him to bandage her wound.

She was in a mess, and he carefully removed her clothes.The taupe-coloured apron made his skin even whiter. He paused his movements, not daring to remove the last cover.The belt of the apron had been cut just now, and now it was covering the chest half-covered.His eyes wandered, he took a deep breath, and turned his face away to remove the last cover.Then he quickly asked her to lie down on her stomach, took a bandage and bandaged her.

However, the position of the wound was a bit awkward, not up or down, and the bandage was just about to go around the chest.This time Zhan Zhao really broke out in sweat, fearing that the wound would bleed if he moved too much, and wanted to avoid her chest, but the wound was there, so it was impossible to avoid it.The bandage covers the wound, wraps the powder, goes around the chest and covers the wound, again and again.She was lying on her stomach, and he could only slightly support her body with one hand, and bypass the bandage with the other.In this way, his hands could not help holding her plumpness in his palms, and the soft touch made him tense all over, feeling guilty of taking advantage of others.After finally bandaging the wound and putting in a lot of effort to help her get dressed, she breathed a sigh of relief like a collapse.

After a while, Guan Xu came to visit and saw that Xu Xiangyang had pulled out his dagger to stop the bleeding. He was relieved, "As long as the bleeding stops, it will be fine."

"Brother Guan, thank you very much today." After all, Xu Xiangyang was rescued twice thanks to his blessing.Guan Xu said: "Brother Zhan is polite, it should be done." He said a few words and then left, there is nothing he can help here, Zhan Zhao has to greet him if he stays longer, it is better to go back first.

As soon as Guan Xu left, Mrs. Wang rushed over after hearing the news. Seeing Xu Xiangyang lying on the bed with a bloodless face, she was full of worry: "Last night you said that Xiangyang hadn't returned, so I was worried. Who would have thought that would happen. She is delicate and soft. How did a girl of mine, who lives in seclusion, provoke those people?"

"They came for me, and I got her in the way."

Zhan Zhao blamed himself all over his face, and Sister-in-law Wang couldn't say much.You can't blame Mr. Zhan for this matter, it's all the fault of those villains!She turned around and said, "How is her injury? When will she wake up?" Zhan Zhao shook his head, "I don't know, Mr. Gongsun said that she would have a fever at night, and she is thin, so it's hard to say whether she can survive it." He was also full of worries, wishing he could The one who was injured was herself, he was stronger than her no matter what, this little injury was nothing, but to her it was like a catastrophe.

Sister-in-law Wang's heart was a little cold. Mr. Gongsun's words were so serious, it seemed that the situation was really bad.Her face was slightly pale, and she insisted: "I'm going to make some porridge. Xiangyang wakes up and drinks some porridge to pad his stomach so that he can take medicine."

Zhan Zhao thanked him, and sat on the chair in a daze, looking at Xu Xiangyang who was breathing weakly on the bed.She was also in this room last time, dying on this bed, and his state of mind at that time was completely different from now.Comparing the two, it suddenly seems like a dream.If she couldn't hold on at that time, he wouldn't feel much.If she can't hold on now, how should he face it?He could no longer take it lightly, no matter what she had done before, he couldn't let it go.

Sighing, he rubbed his face vigorously, emptied his mind and didn't want to think about anyone or anything, until Mr. Gongsun delivered the medicine, he came back to his senses.Carefully helping her up, Mr. Gongsun was delighted to find that although she was unconscious, she was able to drink the medicine, "It's lucky that she can still drink the medicine."

Her body limply leaned against his arms, Zhan Zhao felt sore in his heart.If he hadn't been injured for saving Yuehua at that time, maybe he wouldn't have allowed Li Qingyuan to escape, so she wouldn't have been injured.These hypotheses are all in vain, if he goes back to that time, he still wants to save Yuehua...

Seeing the tangle between his brows, Mr. Gongsun comforted him, "Miss Xu can still drink the medicine, the situation should not be too bad."

Zhan Zhao sighed, with bitterness in his mouth, "Thank you, sir." The feeling in his heart was unspeakable, thinking that she was just a responsibility to him, and that life was just so ordinary.The sudden change caught him off guard, the tranquility was broken, and waves were set off.Xu Xiangyang, she is different from him.
