Lose the lights and spend another night

As night fell, there was constant laughter and laughter in the front yard, but there was a dead silence in the side hall of the lingering small pavilion.

Yingsheng was really annoyed by the adults, so for the first time, he missed the adults' birthday banquet.She moved a low stool and sat next to me, with tears still in the corners of her eyes, which were really red and swollen.

"Langzhong, take it easy, take it easy." Yingsheng told me from time to time, she couldn't help turning red when she looked at the welt marks on my back.

I lay quietly on the couch and let the doctor apply the medicine to me. Every time I applied it, I felt a burning pain.But when I heard the voice of Yingsheng, my heart was very warm.

I reluctantly took her hand and wrote a sentence in her palm, "Don't cry, I'm fine."

Yingsheng shook her head, "Huanxi, you lied, my mother beats people hard, how can you be okay?" She touched the blood scab on my left eyebrow distressedly, "Huanxi, if you have something to do, I will What to do alone?"

I stared at her blankly, why did she say such nonsense?She is the eldest lady here, and this is her home, how can she be alone?

Yingsheng pressed her small face on my palm with aggrievedness, she sniffed, "Mother is not my real mother, and younger brothers and sisters rarely play with me, I thought Daddy would always love me, but today ...Today he doesn't even believe my words...the only one here who really loves me..."

Adults also have her helplessness, Ying Sheng is still young, how can she understand those things?

Don't say that I can't speak, even if I can speak, these truths cannot be explained clearly in a few words.

I shook my head and sighed softly, the doctor said at this moment, "Girl, I'm going to wrap gauze for you."

My pale face was a bit ashamed, after all, the doctor is a man, and the injury is on the back, if I want to wrap the gauze, the man will definitely see some shameful places of my daughter's family.

"Wait, the master said that men and women can't kiss each other, you can't wrap gauze around Huanxi!" Although Yingsheng is young, she already understands these principles. She stretched out her little hand, "Give it to me, I will do it."

"This..." Langzhong looked at Yingsheng in embarrassment. If she was an ordinary maid, Langzhong would have given her the gauze, but she is only a ten-year-old child after all, how can she know how to wrap someone's wounds?

"Give it to me!" Yingsheng was annoyed this time, she stared at him fiercely with her teary eyes wide open, "Go out, I'm going to wrap Huanxi up!"

"Yes..." The doctor had no choice but to give up, he could only put down the white gauze, write the prescription, packed the medicine box and left the side hall.

My heart was burning hot, and I was so relieved that Ying Sheng had really grown up.

Looking at the worried look on her little face, I suddenly felt that the injuries on my back were not hurting much, I sat up quietly, and pulled down the clothes covering my chest, revealing my body.

Ying Sheng glanced at my body in surprise, blushing to the base of her ears suddenly, she blinked nervously, walked around behind me with a white gauze, gently brushed away the messy hair sticking to my back with her small hands .

"Huanxi, I bound your wound."

I nodded.

Yingsheng wrapped her around very slowly, maybe she was afraid of strangling my wound, but she wrapped it very seriously, afraid of showing the wound, and I recovered too slowly.

At this moment, time seemed to stand still.

For the first time, I felt the feeling of being cherished by others, and my heart trembled slightly.

"I... I'm done..." Yingsheng tied the knot carefully, making sure that it wouldn't loosen, and covered me with the clothes with her own hands.

I turned away and gave her a grateful nod.

Yingsheng shook her head, she held my hand, and said seriously: "Huanxi, get well soon, okay?"

I smiled and nodded.

Yingsheng finally laughed, she held my hand tightly, "Huanxi, I will grow up soon, and when I grow up, I will be able to protect you well."

I couldn't help but deepen my smile, lowered my head and turned over her palm, and slowly wrote——stupid words.

Yingsheng stood up straight, as if promising, "I'm telling the truth!"

I shouldn't have destroyed the warmth of this moment, but there are some things I have to let Yingsheng do, so I continued to write in her palm - go and wish the lord a birthday.

Ying Sheng's smile froze, she shook off my hand, turned her head and said, "No!"

I sighed lightly, and wanted to persuade her, but her fist was so tight that I couldn't write in her palm. I was a little anxious, and I really hated myself for being a dumb at this moment.

"Huanxi... Daddy is not the dad I know...I hate him!"

In the past ten years, this is the first time I have seen Yingsheng's red eyes and anger, her heart is hurting, I know, she has resentment in her heart, and I know it too.

But if I cause a gap between father and daughter because of me, this servant, I will be a real sinner.

I gently scratched the back of Yingsheng's hand with my fingertips, Yingsheng felt a little itchy, and the anger on her face dissipated, "Don't persuade me, Huanxi."

I shook my head with a smile and continued to scratch the back of her hand.

Yingsheng couldn't resist me, so he finally opened his palm.

are you hungry?

She didn't expect that what I wrote was actually this sentence. She was stunned for a while, then lowered her head, touched her stomach, and nodded.

I got off the couch, put on my clothes, and prepared to go to the kitchen to bring her some food.

"Huanxi, I'll let the other maids get it, you're still hurt..."

I smiled and thumped my heart lightly three times. This is a little secret between Yingsheng and I, which means to tell each other——so I can rest assured.

Ying Sheng shook his head.

I raised my eyebrows slightly, but she had no choice but to give up.

I breathed a sigh of relief, walked out of the side hall, and then out of the small courtyard, I saw adults pacing with lanterns.

I walked over and saluted the lord.

"Huanxi, I know I have wronged you today..." The adult's tone was full of apology, but I knew that what he wanted most at the moment was not my forgiveness.

I shook my head and smiled, showing that I didn't resent anything.

The adult looked towards the small courtyard, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Is Sheng'er very annoyed by my father?"

I nodded.

The adults sighed heavily.

Although a bit presumptuous, but that's all I can do.I stretched out my hand and took the palm of the adult, and wrote a sentence on it-I am going to find the adult, please wait here for a while.

The adults were stunned for a moment.

I bowed to the adults again, then bowed my head and walked away.

The lord looked at his palm blankly with a lantern in his hand, and murmured: "Ms. Sheng, Huanxi looks more and more like you."

I just wanted to untie the knot between the lord and Yingsheng, but I forgot that there are too many eyes staring at me in this mansion. When I walked to the kitchen, my little gesture just now reached the ears of my wife.

When I appeared outside the small courtyard with the food, there was an extra lady by my lord's side.

I was a little uneasy and brought the food over.

"Husband, didn't I tell you today? I didn't hit Huanxi with real force. Look, isn't Huanxi still able to walk and move now?" Madam said suddenly.

The adults did not reply.

I know Madam must have misunderstood something, but I don't care so much. Anyway, in this mansion, I have always been Madam's most concerned thorn in the flesh.

I handed the food to the adults, and bowed to the adults.

My lord finally understood what I meant, he took the food, "Huanxi, go down and recuperate."

I nodded, bowed to Madam again, and walked into the small courtyard.

"Miss, help me go to the front to say hello for a while. I'll come back to greet everyone after coaxing Sheng'er." The adult also knew that the madam must have heard some gossip when she came here suddenly, so he explained, "Huanxi can't speak, She can only write in my hand to express her meaning, Madam has always been magnanimous, she will not take those rumors seriously, will she?"

Madam finally breathed a sigh of relief, that's how it is.

But she still felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, and she couldn't help but persuade: "Sheng'er is getting older, it's time to discipline her well, it's not wrong for your husband to love her, but if you spoil Sheng'er and come to her husband's house later, but You have to suffer."

"I see, thank you lady for your reminder." The adult hurriedly responded, and then walked to the side hall where Ying Sheng was located, carrying the food.

Hearing footsteps at the door, Yingsheng jumped down excitedly from the couch, calling out: "Huanxi, you're finally back, I'm going to be hungry..."

Ying Sheng's voice got stuck in the middle, she saw clearly that the person who came was an adult, so she froze in place.

"Daddy knows that Sheng'er must be hungry, come and eat, these meals are Sheng'er's favorite." The adult coaxed softly, put the food on the table, and waved to Ying Sheng.

Yingsheng's eyes turned red, and she turned her head away, "Who told you to come? I won't eat the food you serve!"

"Sheng'er..." The adult's heart tightened, and he walked over, squatting down in front of Yingsheng, wanting to touch her head, "Don't blame Daddy? Daddy also has Daddy's difficulties."

"Obviously it was my cousin who bullied us, yet you helped him bully us! I hate my cousin, I hate you!" Yingsheng finally confided all the grievances in her belly, she turned her head and looked aside, "You are not me I know my father!"

The lord's movements froze in place, he watched Yingsheng's big tears rolling out of his eyes with distress, and thousands of words were condensed into one sentence, "Sheng'er..."

Yingsheng glanced at the lord, seeing the tears in his eyes, his heart softened a little, "You bullied someone, and you still cry, Daddy, you have no shame!"

The adult smiled shyly, he got up and walked to the table, brought the food over, and squatted in front of Yingsheng again, "Okay, Daddy is not ashamed, but Daddy knows that Sheng is hungry, if he is hungry, Daddy It will hurt."

"No..." Yingsheng wanted to answer back, but when she saw the lord's loving eyes, she found that the resentment in her belly had dissipated a lot. She held back what she wanted to say, and changed it into another sentence, "" I don't like my cousin, and my father won't let him come to my house again."

"Okay, Daddy promises Sheng'er."

"He threw a stone at me today, and Huanxi was the only one who protected me. Obviously I hit him, but he wronged Huanxi. Daddy, you still don't believe me in the end!"

"If Daddy doesn't believe you, why did he leave the guests outside and come to coax my Sheng'er?"

"But... but Huanxi was beaten... it hurts..."

"Daddy knows."

"My heart hurts too..."

"Sheng'er, it's Daddy's fault."

"Ugh..."

Yingsheng couldn't speak any more, and suddenly threw herself into the arms of the adult, crying into tears.

The adult put the food aside, hugged Yingsheng tightly, he let out a long sigh of relief, he knew that Yingsheng was like this, it proved that Yingsheng forgave him.

I watched the father and daughter finally reconcile at the door, and my heart was half relieved.

I chuckled and shook my head, turned around and went back to Yingsheng's small pavilion, where the shadow puppet that Bai Zhongyu stepped on today was still on the table, I thought, maybe I can do something for Yingsheng.
