Chapter 36 Going Down the Mountain

Chapter 35 Downhill
The night is gloomy, the rainstorm has not stopped, the whole world seems to be shrouded in darkness, the wind and rain are precarious, like the end of the world.In the dilapidated warehouse on the second floor, a bean-sized candle was slowly burning, emitting a withered yellow light.

An Hongzhu stood by the bed, her face was frosty, her eyes were full of anger, she stared at Lin Xiaoyao with that look, she wished she could eat Lin Xiaoyao.

"You say I'm shameless, I admit it! But you say I'm a disciple, what did I do to you? I remember that I haven't reached the level of panic, right?" Lin Xiaoyao rubbed his chin, his hands Looking at An Hongzhu with clear eyes, that kind of look is really as sincere as you want, and as wronged as you want.

"You—" An Hongzhu's face was livid, but she didn't know how to answer. Could it be that she was spying on him and other women, and made a fuss?A joke, only ghosts will admit it!
"Shameless!" An Hongzhu turned around, no longer looking at Lin Xiaoyao, curled up the corner of his mouth, and said coldly.

"Hey, I'm still shameless? I'm more wronged than Dou E. I think I'm handsome and suave. I'm such a kind and intelligent person. I've done a lot of good things, but in the end, you blatantly blamed me for being shameless." Deng Tuzi's bad words, who do I turn to to reason? I really feel sad, the heavens are not ancient, sad... sad!"

Lin Xiaoyao pointed at himself, with a very sad and angry tone, as if he had really suffered a great injustice. That kind of tone really made the listener sad and cry!
"You - stop talking. If you say it again, I will - I will kill you!"

An Hongzhu really couldn't bear Lin Xiaoyao's shameless words. Although she knew it was all fake, she felt a little uncomfortable when she heard it, as if she had really done something outrageous.

"Okay, okay, I won't say it anymore, I won't say it anymore!" Lin Xiaoyao looked at the sword that was so close, blinked, swallowed, and said with a smile: "I'm kidding you. How could a beautiful and kind-hearted woman like you wrongly accuse a good man like me?"

"Hmph!" An Hongzhu took back the sword in his hand and snorted coldly, "How could you become like this? Although you were annoying enough before, you were not so shameless!"

Lin Xiaoyao's eyes lit up when he heard this. He lay back on the bed again, crossed his legs, and said: "Before? Hongzhu, we two knew each other before! Then why are you pretending to be strangers and letting me Do you think we just met?"

"Don't call me Red Bamboo! We don't know each other that well!"

"Oh! Okay, Hongzhu, then I don't call you Hongzhu, should I call you Sister An? Oh, this name is pretty good too."

"Don't call me Sister An—" An Hongzhu's face was livid, and the hand holding the sword hilt turned pale due to excessive force.

"Isn't it called Sister An? Then I'll call it Hongzhu, as expected, Hongzhu sounds better!"

An Hongzhu took a deep breath, and stopped arguing with Lin Xiaoyao. Anyway, she also knew that she must not be able to speak against Lin Xiaoyao, and it would be herself who would suffer.

"You tried every means to make me appear, what exactly do you want to do?"

When it came to business, Lin Xiaoyao no longer smiled. He turned around and looked at An Hongzhu with a half-smile, until he looked a little panicked at An Hongzhu before he said: "I should be the one to ask this question." ? I clearly said that I don’t want to leave with you, why are you still here, and what exactly do you want to do?”

"I have no obligation to answer for you!" An Hongzhu said coldly.

"I want to know!"

"I do not--"

"I want to know!" Lin Xiaoyao interrupted An Hongzhu's words word by word. His tone was serious and his eyes were full of caution. If possible, he didn't want to go against An Hongzhu. After all, An Hongzhu Bamboo is much stronger than him, if she offends her, it will be a disaster for him.But it was about his own safety, and An Hongzhu was a member of the court, so he had to know whether An Hongzhu was his enemy or not.

An Hongzhu was also really angry. Since she was a child, she had never been persecuted like this, and she even saved Lin Xiaoyao's life during the day, but who knew that he not only didn't appreciate her, but also made things difficult for herself, which made her angry and angry Angry and aggrieved, he was about to cry, but seeing Lin Xiaoyao's serious expression, his heart was a little shaken, and he couldn't open his mouth when he spoke harsh words.

"People from the imperial court asked me to protect you. I didn't complete the task of taking you away, so I switched to this task." An Hongzhu looked a little lonely, and after she lowered her head and said, she turned around and said, Regardless of what Lin Xiaoyao said, he was about to leave.

Seeing An Hongzhu's lonely back, Lin Xiaoyao felt a sudden pain in his heart, and only then did he realize that he had hurt her heart.

"Hongzhu—I didn't mean anything malicious—you know...my situation is a bit dangerous..." Lin Xiaoyao was startled when he saw that An Hongzhu was about to leave, and quickly explained, but he didn't know what to do. How to explain, I can only stammer.

Hearing this, An Hongzhu stopped in her footsteps, but didn't turn around, her tone was still cold, without a trace of emotion, she said: "Young Master Lin, you don't need to explain to me, I was just ordered to protect you."

"I—forget it, believe it or not, I am very grateful to you, you saved my life, I didn't say it, just because I feel that we are friends, and it's too raw for friends to say these things, as for just now I may have hurt your heart, I can only say - I'm sorry!"

The burning candle made a crackling sound, and the withered yellow light shone on the woman's body, as if covering the woman with a layer of light yellow gauze, which was extremely beautiful.Under the illumination of the candlelight, the shadow on the ground trembled slightly.

"Haha - you really don't need to say this, it's completely unnecessary." Although the words are still the same, the tone has changed completely.

After Lin Xiaoyao heard An Hongzhu's words, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, his tone became jovial again, and he said with a chuckle: "Let me just say, we have such a good relationship, and Hongzhu is such a smart and beautiful beauty, why not?" Will be angry with me, hehe."

"Humph"

An Hongzhu snorted again, ignored Lin Xiaoyao, and walked out again.

"Hey, I don't want to be angry anymore, why do I have to leave!"

"If I don't leave, do I want to sleep here?" There was a naughty smile on An Hongzhu's icy face, but her tone was still icy, making Lin Xiaoyao unable to guess what she was thinking.

"Okay! Since Hongzhu made such an embarrassing request, but I am a recognized good person, I can only reluctantly agree. You can live here, and I will leave half of the bed for you!" Lin Xiaoyao Gulu sat up suddenly, patted the creaking wooden bed, and said with a smirk.

"You - shameless, deceitful person -"

An Hongzhu's face turned red, and her whole body trembled with anger. She turned around and pointed at Lin Xiaoyao. She couldn't think of many words to describe Lin Xiaoyao for a long time, and finally she could only say this again.

After all, no matter what Lin Xiaoyao said, he didn't stay any longer, just opened the window and disappeared into the rainstorm.

Seeing that An Hongzhu left just like that, Lin Xiaoyao was taken aback for a moment, then hurriedly got out of bed, opened the window, and looked outside, only to see the torrential rain pouring down outside, and the world was shrouded in darkness. The shadow of An Hongzhu.

"Hey, Hongzhu - I'm joking with you. Don't take it seriously. There is a room next door to me. It's prepared for you. Go there and rest quickly. It's rainy and cold at night. Don't take it seriously. Got a cold——"

Lin Xiaoyao made his hand into a trumpet shape, and regardless of whether An Hongzhu could hear it or not, he shouted loudly to the outside until his voice became hoarse...

At the end of the night, the sky is bright, the rainstorm stops, the sun rises, and everything recovers.

"Dangdangdangdang" there was a sudden knock on the door, pulling the sleeping Lin Xiaoyao out of his sleep.

"Who is it?"

"Uncle, I'm Xiaoxiang, get up quickly, I'm going down the mountain today, the lady asked me to call my uncle."

"Who is my uncle? Then go and call him. It's not dark yet. Let me sleep a little longer." Lin Xiaoyao covered his head with the quilt and said drowsily with his eyes closed.

"Sir, the young lady has agreed to your marriage proposal, and you will naturally become my uncle. Get up quickly, the young lady is ready." Xiaoxiang was stunned for a moment, and then said in a voice that didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"I'm still sleepy when I'm a son-in-law. It's not dark yet, let me sleep for a while!" Lin Xiaoyao murmured.

"Grandpa!"

Xiao Xiang was really helpless, it was still dark, how did she come up with such an excuse, remembering Xiao Wan'er's entrustment, she had to wake Lin Xiaoyao again, this was really embarrassing for her.

"Okay, okay, I'll get up."

As soon as he heard the slightly coquettish voice, Lin Xiaoyao felt his whole body go numb, and his sleepiness disappeared immediately.

"Grandpa is the best!" Xiaoxiang said happily when she heard Lin Xiaoyao's response, with a smile all over her face.

Lin Xiaoyao yawned a lot, stretched his waist, put on his clothes with his eyes closed, and his mouth was not stable, he just heard him complaining in a low voice: "Little girl, you have spotted my dead spot." Ah, don't act like a baby again in the future, I can't bear it."

"crunch"

The wooden door opened with the pleasant music, and Xiao Xiang, who was pretty and blushing, was holding a washbasin towel. She was standing outside the door, looking at Lin Xiaoyao with bright eyes.

"Xiao Xiang, you have a fever, why is your face so red?" Lin Xiaoyao touched Xiao Xiang's forehead, felt his own forehead again, shook his head slightly and said, "No, it's not very hot either."

"Grandpa, hurry up and wash up, miss is waiting!" Xiaoxiang's face became more rosy when Lin Xiaoyao teased her, and she quickly put the basin on the chair, ignoring Lin Xiaoyao's surprised eyes, covering her face Face ran downstairs.

"Ha - strange girl..." Lin Xiaoyao touched his chin when he saw Xiaoxiang's panicked back, then shook his head and smiled helplessly.
