C75 (2/2)
”I just dreamed it.” Xiaowan tightly hugged his waist, her heart finally returning to her stomach.
When they entered, Uncle Biao and Aunt Zhang had already returned to the backyard, the husband and wife pair had locked the door and were going to boil a hot water together. Xiaowan was going to wash Ling Chaofeng's face and mouth.
When he was done, he laid on the bed and looked every single inch of his husband's body. He was afraid that the young man would suffer in the yamen.
”Are you done looking? Aren't you afraid that I'll be cold?” Ling Chaofeng was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. He was almost angered by this fellow, he grabbed onto Xiaowan and wrapped the two of them in his blanket. Smelling her sweet fragrance, he said, ”No one dares to touch me, don't be afraid.”
”Master, we should not report Susu's matter to the officials. This new county is unreliable. Xiaowan snuggled into his embrace, and actually said, ”Then we'll use the martial arts method, and settle it with a tooth for a tooth.”
Ling Chaofeng acknowledged, and gently caressed her body: ”Sleep.”
The next morning, the two guests who had stayed at the inn for the past few days were finally leaving. When they left, Da Qing just happened to pass by the door, and since he knew them now, he had to greet them.
Ling Chaofeng told him to rest for half a day, and went to the town to buy a mule with Uncle Biao. Da Qing said that there were many boats here today, and he could earn a lot of money. So they didn't force it, and just bought the mule, and directly sent it to the Baisha Village.
After the sky grew bright, Ling Chaofeng sent the Xiaowan to visit Susu. Susu's expression was still as weak as before, when she was sad, she would wash her face with tears.
After the Xiaowan heard from the Auntie Chen that when Susu was brought back, although Da Qing had used his clothes to wrap Susu tightly, he had peeled off all of his clothes. The inside of his clothes were all ripped apart, leaving only a few pieces of cloth hanging on his body.
Although the two beasts did not get the time to enter, Xiaowan did not dare to imagine such a scene. If it really happened to her, she would probably commit suicide by casting her Baisha River.
Therefore, when facing Susu, she was extremely patient, and did not rush to let her get up, only wanted to accompany her every day.
At this time, Ling Chaofeng came in and said to Xiaowan: ”I'm going to take care of a few things. magistrate lost his mind last night and went crazy. ”Then...”
Xiaowan looked at Susu beside him, and asked him silently: ”Do you want to go to Siyun Pavilion?”
Ling Chaofeng understood and nodded.
Xiaowan grabbed his arm tightly, her fingers exerted a lot of strength, but Ling Chaofeng casually tapped her forehead with her other hand: ”It's grabbing so hard, don't I feel pain?”
Xiaowan puffed up her cheeks and did not say a word.
Ling Chaofeng laughed: ”I know what you're thinking, you don't believe her, and you don't trust me either?”
Xiaowan looked at him, and finally released his hand, pretending to be disdainful: ”Go, go.”
Ling Chaofeng said gently: ”I'll be back soon. You stay with Susu properly, don't be anxious.”
Xiaowan sent him out of the courtyard. When she returned, he saw that Susu had gotten off the bed to drink water. Xiaowan immediately wanted to pour her water. On the other hand, if you keep me company like this and disturb the work in the store, I will feel bad about it in my heart. It's not that I can't be good, it's just that … ”When I think about it …”
Xiaowan laughed: ”You know that too, we are not in the business, what are you worried about?”
Susu laughed bitterly: ”That won't do, there are still two guests staying in the inn, right?”
The Xiaowan said, ”They left this morning in a mysterious manner. After staying for so long, they still haven't said a few words.” She rolled her eyes and asked: ”Susu, are you still willing to work at our store?”
Susu nodded, but when she thought about that road, her heart started to rise.
The Xiaowan saw through her thoughts and hurriedly said, ”Master has an agreement with Brother Da Qing. When you go back to work in the future, he will send you off every morning, and when we pick you up at night, we will buy a mule cart for him. From now on, you don't need to walk too hard anymore as you sit on the cart.”
Susu stared at Xiaowan blankly. Xiaowan stroked her hand and said, ”Naturally … ”If you are unwilling.”
But Susu asked: ”He's willing?”
”I'm willing, I agreed without hesitation.” The Xiaowan said, ”Brother Da Qing is truly a straightforward person. He was especially hardworking today, let him rest for half a day, and went with Uncle Biao to buy mules. He said that there were a lot of work at the dock, and it would not be good for him to miss it. ”
Susu said softly, ”I heard from my mother that her family is the poorest in the village.”
Xiaowan looked at her and asked with a smile: ”Are you willing to let him send you off?”
