Soon, Meng Yuan came back with the things he had asked for from the doctor, including ointment, fine cotton cloth, and water in a bamboo tube.
He put the ointment and cotton cloth aside and waved to Shen Qingqing, "Come here, I'll wash your hands for you first."
Shen Qingqing blinked, squatted in front of him like an obedient child, and stretched out her palm.
Her hands are very beautiful, with slender fingers, fair and soft skin, and a faint pink color on the nails, like freshly blooming pink flower buds.
In the past, Meng Yuan only knew that she was born beautiful and loved beauty, but now he realized that even her fingers are beautiful.
In a daze, Shen Qingqing was kicked on the tip of her toes. Shen Qingqing raised her head and asked with a smile: "Don't you want to wash your hands? What are you doing standing there stupidly?"
Meng Yuan's heart was hit by her childish smile. A wave of heat climbed up from his heart to his cheeks, and his face suddenly heated up.
He squatted down awkwardly, held the soft and delicate palms, and slowly poured water with his other hand. His movements were a little clumsy, like a little stupid chicken that had just learned to walk, funny and serious at the same time.
Shen Qingqing was amused by his appearance as if facing a formidable enemy, and comforted him: "Actually, you don't have to be so careful, I'm not afraid of pain."
Meng Yuan raised his eyes and looked at her, his voice as soft as the wind: "But I'm afraid."
The fingertips soaked in water are cold, and the back of the hand held by him is warm.
The words he said casually were hot in my ears.
Between the cold and the heat, Shen Qingqing's face turned red. She lowered her head and quietly watched him busy clumsily in front of her.
Washing hands, applying medicine, bandaging - in the end all ten fingers were wrapped into big rice dumplings.
Shen Qingqing raised her hands, which were several circles thicker, and she didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "So, how do I wash my hands and face these days?"
"If you don't mind, I'd be happy to do it for you."
Meng Yuan put away the unused things, stretched out his hand to pull her up, "Let's go somewhere else, take a walk, and forget all the unpleasant things."
Shen Qingqing looked bitter: "But I can't walk."
"No need to walk, let's ride horses." Meng Yuan pointed to Ping An not far away, then turned his head to look at her, suddenly thought of something, bent down and hugged her horizontally, "The princess hug you just mentioned, is this it?
"
Shen Qingqing hugged his neck and laughed, "Why did you suddenly become enlightened?"
Meng Yuan's eyelashes moved slightly, and he said aggrievedly: "I have always been very enlightened, but under the circumstances at that time, it was faster to run while carrying it."
"Oh, that's because I wronged you, and I apologize."
Meng Yuan shook his head gently, frowned and looked at the side face of the girl in his arms and said: "There is no need to apologize, but..."
Before he finished speaking, Shen Qingqing suddenly grabbed the back of his head, leaned forward and kissed his cheek.
The gentle kiss made his heart flutter, and his frowning eyebrows instantly relaxed.
Shen Qingqing squinted her eyes and smiled, "But what?"
Meng Yuan felt itchy in his heart and wanted to touch the tip of his nose, but he didn't have any free hands. Finally, he licked his lips and said, "But next time you go out to help people look after the house and catch ghosts, can you take me with you? I'll let you know if anything happens."
I can also lend a hand.”
"And..." His eyes moved down and fell on Shen Qingqing's red lips, "I like your way of apologizing very much."
“Keep it up next time.”
The shy and cheerful look when he spoke reminded Shen Qingqing of her impression of him when she first woke up - a large German shepherd dog that looked mighty but was actually honest and cute.
She didn't dare to speak out about this idea because she was afraid someone would get angry and bite her.
Shen Qingqing smiled and explained in a low voice: "This time it was an accident. I didn't expect that there was a cemetery hidden underneath. I will have a better memory in the future. I will call you for help when I encounter a situation. But having said that, today
How did you find it?"
"The sound of the tomb collapsing was so loud that Yanghua Village could hear it. I felt something was wrong, so I asked Yun'er to tell the story."
"Your feeling is quite accurate." Shen Qingqing praised him, poked his cheek with her chubby hand and said: "When I first came here, were you angry? I talked to you, but you didn't even reply.
"
Meng Yuan said sourly: "So you can see it. I thought you were not enlightened and couldn't feel it."
"The situation was urgent at that time, so we couldn't take care of it, right?" Shen Qingqing smiled and hooked her arms around his neck, looked into his dark pupils, her eyes were as charming as silk, and she said in a longer tone: "Why...you still need me to coax you?
ah?"
Meng Yuan's eyes darkened, and his Adam's apple rolled unconsciously. He didn't say anything, but there was a villain in his heart waving the flag and shouting: It's not impossible to coax him.
"Look at how stupid you are." Shen Qingqing pinched his face, laughed and broke away from his arms, pulled the reins and got on the horse, raised her eyebrows, "Get on the horse and run two laps."
Meng Yuan looked at her smug expression and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. He really couldn't be reserved in front of a certain woman. If he was reserved, the benefits he got would be gone.
He smiled helplessly, turned over and jumped on the horse, hugged her waist, kissed her cheek in revenge, and then raised his riding crop under someone's fierce gaze, "Drive!"
The setting sun in the distance was brilliant, dyeing half of the sky red, and the horses galloped wildly, as if they were about to step into the clouds.
Meng Yuan tightened his arms, rested his chin on her shoulder, and said briskly: "In the past, every time I was in a bad mood, I would rent a horse in the town and ride it as hard as I could in the fields.
If you run, your mood will get better."
"Once I ran for too long and my horse fell down from exhaustion. I was also thrown over and my legs were lame. When my mother found out, she scolded me and didn't let me go out for half a month."
Shen Qingqing asked him, "What about the boss of the horse dealer? Didn't he ask you to pay for it?"
"No, he was so frightened when he saw that I was lame. He was afraid that I would blackmail him and he didn't even ask for the money to rent the horse."
"Then he is a really unlucky little guy."
Shen Qingqing opened her arms, feeling the pleasure of the breeze blowing on her face, and chuckled: "I'm different from you. When I'm in a bad mood, I like to stay at home, eat snacks and drink Coke. When I'm full, I
, I will be happy when I am.”
"Snacks and Coke?"
"You should be able to understand snacks, right? They are those small snacks that Yu'er likes to eat. As for Coca-Cola, they are just something to drink..."
Shen Qingqing squinted her eyes, a flash of murderous intent flashed in her eyes, "But now this thing has been eliminated from my diet."
Meng Yuan couldn't see her expression and was still asking: "Why?"
"I told you not to laugh. If you laugh, you'll have your head shot off."
"Well, I promise not to laugh."
Shen Qingqing cleared her throat, "Ahem, because I choked to death on Coke!"
"Huh? Choking to death?" Meng Yuan tilted his head, deeply confused. Can drinking water still choke to death?
"It's hard to believe, isn't it?" Shen Qingqing laughed first, "If I hadn't experienced it myself, it would be hard for me to believe that there are people in the world who die such a useless death."
