The next day, after three strokes, Xuzi got up from his sleep. Looking at Shi Lan who was busy getting water for himself and thinking for a long time, he finally realized that Zhang Xutuo had raped him last night.
He was very drunk. As for what he and Zhang Xutuo said in a daze, he couldn't remember most of them clearly. He couldn't even remember how he got home.
"Mr. Lang, please wipe your face!" Shi Lan moistened a face towel made of Tianzhu cloth with warm water, wrung it out, and brought it to Li Xu, saying.
"Oh!" Li Xu took the face towel and rubbed it twice on his face. The warmth on the face towel made him regain his consciousness, but his mentality was a little awkward. In his memory, his parents were always extremely loving.
But if the father is drunk and comes home late, although the mother will not make a fuss, she will inevitably nag her. If the uncle commits this man's crime, it will not be over until Aunt Zhang Liu breaks the roof of the house.
.But Shi Lan seemed to have no complaints or anger. Even when he took the towel, his eyes were timid, like a frightened little beast.
Thinking of this, he felt a bit of tenderness in his heart. He stretched out his hand and helped Shi Lan wash the face towel, while saying: "I can do it myself, I can do this kind of thing alone!"
A simple movement, but Shi Lan was so startled that he took a few steps to the side and apologized in panic: "Is the water cold? I'll get some hot water. Please wait a moment, sir! It'll be fine in a moment! Really?"
Just a moment”
"The water temperature is very good, why do you need to change it?" Li Xu raised his head and couldn't help but be surprised. In his impression, Shi Lan was not very courageous, but at least he was a master who could hold him for half a day. "
Did I do something wrong when I was drunk last night?" He took his hands out of the basin and raised them in front of his eyes to take a closer look. The hands that had been holding the knife for a long time were rough and unusual, but there was a hint of heaviness in the palms.
"I thought your husband disliked the cold water!" Seeing Li Xu's confused look, Shi Lan smiled sadly and explained in a low voice. She remembered that when she was a child, her usually kind-hearted father would beat her mother every time she was drunk.
.Once my mother-in-law was beaten until she was lying on the ground unable to get up. The drunken father was so satisfied that he fell on the edge of the bed and fell asleep. He and his brother were so frightened that they did not dare to cry. They hugged each other tightly and stared at each other.
Looking forward to dawn with eyes open.
At dawn, if my father sobers up, he will pack up the mason's belongings and go out to work happily. If my father is unlucky enough to be hungover, no matter whether the water for washing his face is cold or his breakfast is unpalatable, there will be another strong wind in the house.
rainstorm.
When my mother-in-law was alive, she once complained angrily for her. But the kind-hearted mother-in-law rubbed the bruises on her face and said, "Erya, don't blame your grandpa. He went out to drink because he was upset."
.”
"Can a man being upset be a reason to beat a woman?" Shi Lan didn't dare to ask. Because he knew that his mother's next words would definitely be, "My mother's life is hard. When you grow up, you must find someone who knows how to marry."
.Don’t be embarrassed in your life, no matter what obstacles you encounter, we have discussed it.”
"The water is not cold, just fine. In fact, it's okay if it's a little cooler, just refreshing!" Li Xu's words came from her head, awakening Shi Lan from her memory. When she raised her head, she saw a face with a curly beard and a look in his eyes.
, but with three points of concern, three points of pity, and a bit, it seems, it seems to be guilt.
"My husband knows how to joke!" Shi Lan grabbed the scarf and covered Li Xu's face. He was worried that the storm would not come all night, but this guy who was twice as strong as his father and capable of murdering people actually still maintained his posture even after being drunk.
A picture of a good-natured man. Through the wet face towel, she saw an angular outline. Does this guy know how to be warm and cold? Shi Lan wiped the face towel from Asahi's forehead, cheeks and ears in turn, while thinking.
She thought wildly. While the other person's eyes were still closed, she wiped her eyes with her left hand, erasing those complicated memories.
"I'm not joking, I didn't expect that I would actually be drunk!" Li Xu opened his eyes and said with a smile. He found that Shi Lan was worried, but he couldn't ask further questions if the other party didn't tell him. Although the two people were close to each other, he said with a smile.
, but they are far from harmonious enough to talk about everything. What’s even more lamentable is that neither of them knows how to get along with each other, and there is no one to guide them. They have no choice but to test each other based on their own memories of their families.
, try out a life that belongs to yourself and the other person.
"Shall your husband have some porridge to soothe his stomach for breakfast, or should he just have a meal?" After waiting for Li Xu to wipe his face, Shi Lan changed another face towel, sucked up the water on the man's face and hands, wiped them clean, and then wiped them clean.
The washcloths were washed and hung on the washstand. I picked up the basin and walked outside while asking.
"Tell the kitchen to make some. Have you eaten? If not, let's eat together!" Li Xu thought for a while and then answered.
"I asked the kitchen to prepare two things. My husband, why don't you drink some porridge to warm your stomach first, and then eat dry food later when you're hungry!" Shi Lan turned around at the door and asked tentatively. She didn't notice it from Li Xu's face.
With no trace of surprise, she finally let go and walked out happily.
"This girl definitely doesn't dare to eat alone!" Xuzi shook his head and smiled bitterly. From the moment he moved Shi Lan's luggage to the back hall, his husband had never been so excited. Occasionally, he suspected that the other party might approach him.
I have a plan, but the feeling in my heart is like going to the tree to pick peaches when I was a child, which is a little more exciting for no reason. However, after being excited, I don’t feel very comfortable in my heart, but it seems that something has been suddenly stuffed into it, invisible and wavering.
It's hard to go.
After breakfast, Asahi Zi returned to the back hall to rest his mind. He was a military attache sent by the imperial court, and it was not a big deal if he did not go to the army for a day occasionally. Besides, Asahi Zi vaguely remembered that Master Tongshou drank too much last night.
, the tavern was ready to close when the two of them drank from the third jar. When the mud seal on the fourth jar was opened, the guards who were drinking on the other side of the road came over again. Unfortunately, they failed to persuade Zhang Xutuo to stop drinking.
Instead, Mr. Tongshou pulled each of them to forcefully drink two large bowls. As for how many wine jars were placed at the feet of everyone in the end, Xu Zi could not count them. He only felt that since leaving Xiongwu Camp, he had drank several times, but this was the only one.
The most enjoyable time.
"Zhang Tongshou said that he was very poor when he was a child, so he hoped to have a court that would allow everyone to live a good life." Xuzi patted his forehead and remembered the specific process of bringing the two people closer.
"Then he was very happy to see the world change from the Great Zhou to the Great Sui. Then, Master Tongshou said that he was very disappointed with the Great Sui!" Xuzi's mind froze, and he suddenly realized that this was a sentence that could easily be caught.
"It seems that I didn't agree!" he recalled happily. "But Master Tongshou said, what else did he say? He seemed to have asked me to do something?" He slapped his forehead in frustration, discovering that drinking alcohol was actually bad for his memory.
The impact is so great. I don't have a photographic memory, at least I won't be so confused that I completely forget about other people's requests overnight.
"Are you thinking about what happened last night?" Shi Lan brought a pot of freshly brewed tea into the room. Seeing Li Xu scratching his head and ears, he asked.
"I rarely get drunk, but I forgot all about how I came back last night." Li Xu nodded and said sadly.
"It was Captain Zhou and a few guards who sent you back. Captain Zhou was telling the housekeeper that Mr. Zhang has given a day off tomorrow, so everyone doesn't have to order Mao!" Shi Lan replied with a smile. She was very considerate.
, you can catch the most critical link without paying too much attention.
"I was planning to escape for a day, but I didn't expect Master Zhang had already made arrangements!" Li Xu responded with a wave of his hand. Suddenly, he noticed that Shi Lan's eyes were very bright, flickering like stars in the night sky.
It was a very clear flash, without any charm, but it was still exciting. Asahi followed the other person's gaze until he saw the other person's eyelids slowly drooping, and a blush appeared on his face. Following the light pink
Looking at her cheeks, he saw the thin and strong neck, the clean and decent skirt, and the ten slender fingers playing with the waistband.
"When the adults came back, they said they were very happy. They said they didn't expect to get drunk, but it was worth it!" Shi Lan was a little nervous when Xu Zi looked at her, and quickly added a series of details. Yesterday, Li Xu was still holding her,
He told her that he was sorry, that he didn't intend to get drunk and that he didn't want her to wait and worry her.
"But I wasn't worried about him at all!" At that moment, Shi Lan remembered that in addition to fear, she felt more guilt and guilt.
Until today, she has not done anything to harm the other party. But she clearly feels that she is slowly getting closer to the goal. But the closer she is to the goal, the more confused she becomes.
"Oh, I remembered something!" Li Xu felt his face was a little hot, and he grabbed a handful of beard on his face to cover it up. He remembered a bit of the situation Shi Lan described. He was indeed very happy at that time and hugged each other tightly.
Share this happiness.
"My lord also ordered a pen and paper, and wrote something on it. Just put it under the paperweight in front of you!" Shi Lan pointed at the desk with her red finger. She didn't dare to look into Li Xu's eyes because of the heat.
It was enough to melt her whole body.
"Really? Thank God!" Li Xu cheered and ran to the desk in two or three steps. "Finally, I can stop delaying Mr. Zhang Xutuo's business!" he thought happily, not even noticing that his behavior was inappropriate.
I don't know when I've regained my childishness.
There are two pages of paper with writing on the table. The first page records Zhang Xutuo's military commander's creed, "Disappointment will return to disappointment, but the protection will remain the same!"
On the second page, it is written: "The navy who came to protect the general's son will pass by around the tenth day of the next month. Treat him well, and the geese will pluck their feathers!" (To be continued)
