It’s cold and you’re burned by the brazier, so make your own stove!
As a result, stoves are now sold all over Chang'an, even in my own small building, but they are not as exquisite as those in Xiao Han.
After eating enough boiled meat, he cut the meat into small dices and grilled it with bamboo skewers. Every piece of meat was roasted and exuded a strong aroma. Xiao Ai sat there and ate it alone.
He didn't eat enough, and in the end, he took aim at the meat in front of Xiao Qi, and Xiao Qi took a bite before giving up...
Thinking of Xiao Ai covering her hands and looking resentfully at Xiao Qi who was protecting her food, Xue Pan laughed out loud while lying on the bed, laughing heartlessly...
But soon, the big smile turned into deep sorrow: "Xiao Ai, where have you been? Why are you locked up alone without anyone to talk to? God, please send her back.
………”
Perhaps God heard Xue Pan's prayer, the door downstairs "creaked..." was pushed open again, and the sound of someone's footsteps could be heard.
Xue Pan, who was upstairs, just thought she was here to clean up the room and didn't pay attention. However, she soon discovered that this time was different from before, because not only did the footsteps not disappear, but they were walking up the stairs thumpingly.
"Is this happening? Is mother here?" Xue Pan, whose whole body was buried in the quilt, raised his head in a flash, with a trace of expectation flashing in his big eyes.
The footsteps became clearer and louder. Xue Pan held up her arms and wanted to stand up from the bed, but she seemed to have forgotten that from yesterday to now, she had not eaten anything for a day and a night, and she could not feel anything while lying on the bed. Now she had to sit up.
, the world was spinning for a while, and I quickly grabbed the frame of the embroidery bed to steady myself. At this time, the footsteps had already reached the stairs.
The door of Xue Pan's boudoir was not completely closed. This was to facilitate the maid to come from time to time to see if she had escaped again, because the mistress said that if the lady escaped again this time, they would not have their legs!
Xue Pan excitedly looked out through this gap. Unfortunately, he did not see his mother. Instead, he first saw two rings rising from the bottom of the stairs, black and round, like Xiao Han's baked goods.
The donuts are average…
"So hungry..." It turns out that when people are hungry, they can really imagine everything they see as food. Xue Pan couldn't help but look at the pair of rings and swallowed hard. He still remembered that he and Xiao Ai at that time
Xiao Han said he likes sweets, and Xiao Han readily agreed. He went to the kitchen and said he was going to make donuts!
I don’t know what kind of exotic food donuts are, but the name sounds pretty good. The dough made in the kitchen is kneaded softly, sprinkled with a large amount of icing sugar, and then carefully shaped into a ring.
I didn’t know what the oven Xiao Han was talking about looked like. The fat cook who was helping me pointed at the stove for roasting ducks and said that it was fine...
Sure enough, the baked donuts are round and crispy... very dark... darker than Xiao Han's face...
Seeing Xiao Han chasing the fat chef with a charcoal-like donut and insisting that he eat it, both Xue Pan and Xiao Ai laughed so hard that they couldn't stand...
A marquis and a wealthy lady were playing around in the kitchen like this. Xue Pan was not used to it at first, so he reminded Xiao Han by saying that a gentleman is far away from the cook, but Xiao Han sneered at this sentence. Everyone knows that a gentleman is far away from the cook, but
How many of you know the next sentence?
To this day, Xue Pan can still recall every detail of Xiao Han's movements at that time. At that time, he was really like a true wise man, so confident and elegant.
Seeing him alive, he can't bear to see him die; hearing his voice, he can't bear to eat his flesh. This is why a gentleman stays far away from the kitchen!
But before Xue Pan could agree, Xiao Han simply denied this sentence. In his own words: The one who eats meat and sheds tears is a crocodile! There is nothing more hateful in the world than doing bad things while blindfolded!
When you should eat meat, eat meat. When you should play with Xiaoqi, play with it. Being clear about your heart and your true nature is the attitude that people should have.
Although Xue Pan didn't know this sentence very well, it made more sense every time Xue Pan thought about it.
Thinking a little too far, when Xue Pan came back to his senses, "Donut" had come to his bed, crying and shaking himself...
"Xiao Ai? Why is it you?"
Hearing that the lady finally made a sound, the two maids' hair and temples were really like two rings. Xiao Ai burst into tears and said to Xue Pan with sobs: "Miss! You're awake, wuwu, you're going to scare me."
Damn it, what happened to you just now? Why didn’t you respond no matter how I called you?”
"I just..." Xue Pan opened her mouth, but an abnormal blush flashed across her face. All day and night, she seemed to be thinking about Xiao Han and things about Xiao Han. How could she be embarrassed to say it?
Even if Xiao Ai is his closest sister.
"Nothing, nothing. I was so happy to see you all of a sudden. I was a little distracted..." Xue Pan blushed and hurriedly found an excuse to excuse herself. Then she grabbed Xiao Ai's hand and asked anxiously: "
Stop talking about me, where have you been all day? Is there any news? What does mother think? "
When Xue Pan asked, Xiao Ai's face became even uglier with tears in her eyes. She almost cried and said to Xue Pan: "Miss, this is really bad... I also heard other sisters in the backyard secretly say: Talking about the front of the house.
In the past two days, a Shinto man came and walked around our house twice. Then he said, Miss, you are a tyrant! If you stay at home, it will affect Master Xue and you must get married as soon as possible..."
"I beat his grandma!" After hearing Xiao Ai's words, Xue Pan couldn't help but gnashed her teeth and cursed. She had never cursed before, but after seeing Xiao Han's unbridled curses, she actually learned the curse words. It can be said that she has learned three words well.
Years ago, I learned bad things for three days...
Xiao Ai hurried over to comfort the young lady whose chest was rising and falling violently, stroking her back and saying, "Miss, Miss, what's wrong with you, don't be so angry..."
Xue Pan took a few deep breaths, forced himself to calm down, and then said: "You want me to get married? Doesn't that damn liar say that I am a scheming husband?! Doesn't that mean that whoever I marry will be scheming? Then what's the point?
Why do you want me to get married?"
Xiao Ai patted Xue Pan's back carefully and whispered: "I heard that he gave you a fortune telling that if you marry the Xiangcheng Hou family, everything will be safe..."
"It's that bastard again!" When Xue Pan heard this, if he still couldn't figure out who was behind it, then he deserved to marry that fool. Anyway, the two of them had the same IQ...
Just when Xue Pan wanted to beat that five-foot-three-inch bastard into an idiot, Xiao Ai said carefully: "By the way, Miss, Shopkeeper Wang is here too. I'll wait for you downstairs. Why don't you go first, Miss?"
Go down and have a look!”
"Shopkeeper Wang is here? Xiao Ai, help me go down to see him, I don't have any strength!" When Xue Pan heard Shopkeeper Wang's name, his face that was originally angry and blue actually softened a little, and he quickly opened the quilt and asked for
Go downstairs.
Xiao Ai naturally agreed and supported the young lady with both hands. Just when the two of them were about to walk downstairs, Xue Pan inadvertently touched Xiao Ai while raising his leg. He didn't exert any force, but Xiao Ai said "Ouch!"
With a sound, his legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground together with Xue Pan.
Xue Pan was shocked and turned pale. He quickly hugged Xiao Ai and asked anxiously: "Xiao Ai, what's wrong with you? What's wrong with your leg?"
"It's okay, it's okay. Shopkeeper Wang is still waiting for you downstairs. Let's go down to see him!" Facing the anxious look of the young lady, Xiao Ai's eyes dodge a little. He was about to continue walking down, but was pulled hard by Xue Pan.
return.
"Come here, let me see what's wrong with your legs?!"
Holding Xiao Ai with one hand, Xue Pan ignored his dizziness and used the other hand to carefully lift up the panties under Xiao Ai's skirt. After looking at it for a moment, Xue Pan's tears immediately began to well up in his eyes...
…
Under the cover of his pants, Xiao Ai's calves were covered with more than a dozen bruises, large and small! One by one! Each one was three fingers thick, and some were close to the knees. A little further up, Xiao Ai's legs
There’s no telling if it will be scrapped!
"Who, who hit me? Xiao Ai, who hit this?!" Xue Pan lowered his head and touched Xiao Ai's leg with trembling hands. The tears in his eyes could no longer be held back and dripped down his face drop by drop.
on the floor.
Seeing the young lady crying so sadly, Xiao Ai couldn't help but started crying: "Miss... wuwu, Xiao Ai is fine. Let's go down to shopkeeper Wang. He is so good to you and he will definitely find a way to save you."
, unlike Xiao Ai, who is stupid and can’t help you with anything. He tried to send a message to Mr. Xiao to save you, but he was caught!”
"Then they beat you like this?!" When Xue Pan heard this, her heart suddenly became cold. The resentment in her heart became heavier and heavier, not only towards the Hou family in Xiangcheng! She also felt a little bit towards the family that had raised her for more than ten years.
disgust!
Although this home is also called "home", it always feels cold and everything is running according to the rules. Now she finally understands that what this home lacks is a kind of vitality and a kind of warmth.
Silently wiping away her tears, she carefully put down her pants for Xiao Ai. Xue Pan hugged Xiao Ai gently and whispered: "Let's go down. Since this family doesn't care about our life or death, we have to take care of ourselves. No big deal, I
Take you to escape from marriage!"
Hearing these two words, Xiao Ai trembled all over, looked up at Xue Pan and asked: "Escape from marriage...where are you running away to?"
"Escape to..." Xue Pan was about to say those two words, but suddenly stopped for some reason and sighed softly: "There is always somewhere to go, and things are not as bad as this now. Since Shopkeeper Wang
If you can come and see me, there should be a turning point..."
After going downstairs, Shopkeeper Wang saw that the two of them were walking unnaturally, so he quickly came over to replace Xiao Ai and helped Xue Pan onto the soft couch. Others would be criticized for doing this, but Shopkeeper Wang has almost watched Xue Pan grow up since childhood.
, to put it bluntly, the relationship is similar to that of father and daughter. Even Xiao Ai thinks it is natural to do this.
