idyllic tranquility

"Grandpa He, someone asked me to give this to you."

The childish voice broke the peaceful low pressure of the He family. Uncle He looked up and saw that it was Li Maoer, a neighbor's child, and forced a smile. When he took it over, he saw that it was an unsigned letter, and opened the letter while calling for Mrs. He to pick it up. Some snacks for the cat, but when he read the contents of the letter, he could no longer calm down.

"Boss, hurry up, come over and have a look, is this Dalang's character?"

Uncle He's words exploded in the He family.

"Father, why do I feel that the words on this letter are a bit different from Da Lang's previous handwriting?"

Just as Uncle He and He Dazhu were struggling to identify the handwriting, He An had already rushed out of the house, looking around anxiously.

Li Maoer from the neighbor's house ran out at some point, but He An couldn't find him, so he had to take a gamble and ran to the entrance of the village.Heaven has eyes, when He An arrived at the entrance of the village, he saw two figures, one tall and one short, standing under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village. The short one was the Li Maoer he had been looking for all along.

When Li Mao'er took a handful of candies from the opponent's hand and bounced away, He An was not in a hurry to catch up with Li Mao'er and asked. Instead, he carefully followed the adult who gave Li Mao'er candies all the way to the village. Walk outside until you see the other party entering the side door of Landlord Li's house.

He An was a little confused.Is Da Lang at Landlord Li's house?If so, why didn't he go home?If not, does Landlord Li's family know Dalang's whereabouts?Should he go in and ask why he had to wait another seven days?

For more than a month, He Ning's lack of news has already made He An's spirit a little dazed.Every day for more than a month, he can only rely on continuous work to keep himself busy, so as not to think about it.As long as he is free, He An either regrets why he didn't try to go to Yiyang City with He Ning, or he can't help but think wildly about what danger his Dalang will encounter.Such emotions have been suppressed in his heart, and he has nowhere to vent. He can only rely on a lot of physical labor to make himself tired and numb.

He understood that He Ning would not disappear for so long without a reason, and leaving without saying a word must not be what he wanted, and it is very likely that he encountered some difficult and difficult things.

He desperately wanted to know any news about He Ning, no matter it was good or bad.If possible, he would not wait for a day, it would be better to stand in front of He Ning right away, even if it was just to look at him.

The appearance of Landlord Li's servant made He An see hope. Even the stone lion standing in front of the house that he used to think was showing off became cute. Without hesitating for a long time, He Ning knocked on the side door that had just been closed after the servant entered...

The Li residence is in charge of the office.

"Miss, there is a twin who calls himself He An and asks to see him. It seems to be the one from Mr. He's family."

Li Xinran would definitely not be troubled by trivial things like this, after all, not everyone can see the lady in charge now.But now that the matter is related to the guests of Xingtaoyuan, Steward Li dare not hide it privately.One must know that He Ning was treated as a distinguished guest by the Li family, and that he was chased after the letter was delivered today, it must be caused by their subordinates' ineffectiveness.Originally, he hadn't done the things explained above. If his attitude was not correct, and he still thought about how to deceive the past, then he, the butler, had done his best.

"He An? Why is he here?" Li Xinran was a little displeased when she heard the news. Why did someone come to her door as soon as she sent the letter? Isn't this a slap in the face?Let her explain to He Ning.

"The servant who delivered the letter didn't notice that someone was following him. It's because his subordinates are not doing well. Please punish me."

Since Li Xinran has been in charge, he has seen more and more dignity, but Li Butler is sweating on his forehead and doesn't know it.

"Okay, it's because I didn't think it through beforehand. From now on, I will leave such things to the guards. But those who should be punished will still be punished." Li Xinran's rule of punishment is clearly the principle that she was able to take charge of the Li family's inner house so quickly. rely.

"Yes, my subordinates will take care of it."

"Well, as for He An...not seen."

In Li Xinran's view, since He Ning has followed that lord, he is also an ally with his own family, and the Li family has an obligation to guard against that lord's whereabouts.Now, the knife wound on He Ning's body is unusual. Just imagine, how could a child from a farmer's family have such an injury?He has been missing for more than a month. If he returns home with such an injury, it will easily cause an uproar in Beili Village. If the adult's political opponents find out the clues, then the disaster of their Li family will also arrive. .

From the perspective of the family's interests, it is understandable for Li Xinran not to allow He An to see He Ning; but as a girl who is about to turn 12, she will naturally look forward to love when she is young, and what He An has done is in her opinion. There is nothing wrong with that.

Li Xinran's refusal made He An very disappointed, but finally got the news of He Ning, he couldn't just go back like this anyway, he wanted to see Da Lang, he wanted to know about Da Lang's current news.Even if the price is to lose dignity...

"Miss, he, He An knelt in the yard and said that he must see you, otherwise, he wouldn't get up."

Butler Li wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"...Hmph, what is this, forcing me? I want to see if his knees are hard or my heart is hard!"

After all, Li Xinran looked at the sky and found that it was already time, so he went directly to deal with the matter, turned around and forgot about it.

It wasn't until Youshi finished eating that Li Xinran took off the hairpin on his head and realized that it was raining outside, then he remembered that there seemed to be someone kneeling in the yard.

"Qi Qian, go and ask Li Zhan to see if He An has gone back?"

After Qianqian left, Li Xinran was a little apprehensive. Although Chunyu was as thin as a cow's hair, she was still cold. If she just knelt like this for a whole day, this person must be abandoned?Maybe go back early, how can there be such a stupid person in the world?Li Xinran comforted herself until Sissy brought back the news.

"Miss, that man is still kneeling there, what should we do, it's still raining outside?"

"Ah, has he been kneeling?"

"Yes, I heard from Li Zhan that Steward Li refused to leave even after being persuaded. He has knelt down to this day and has not eaten any food. Miss, why don't you see him, it's so pitiful."

"Hmph, as long as you are kind-hearted, I am the villain. What he really wants to see is not me, so I don't want to see him...Hmph, let Li Zhan take him to Xingtaoyuan, and let him solve his troubles by himself." !"

Li Xinran was a little wronged, no one reminded her, okay, now it's all over, everyone knows that Li Xinran's heart is as hard as a stone!

………………

Li House, Xingtao Garden.

Since the injury, He Ning could still feel that his body was much weaker even with the best medicinal materials. He lost too much blood and hurt his vitality. He was afraid that he would not be able to recover for a while.

The most intuitive reaction is to feel sleepy as soon as you do something. Even if you read a book for a while, you will feel tired and fall asleep unconsciously.I go to bed early at night, and the firepower on my body is not as good as before. Although my firepower is not as strong as that of He An, I have never fallen asleep and woke up from freezing.But now, when I go to bed at night, I will definitely wake up from the cold when I kick the quilt at night. After taking the medicine, I will break out in a cold sweat when the medicine comes up.

This dilapidated body often makes him want to sigh, and whenever this happens, he will think of a person, the person who makes him feel complicated.

When I was in school, I always listened to the teachers saying that doing the same thing for forty days in a row can form a habit.But he has been away from that person for forty days, why hasn't he gotten used to the days when he is not by his side?

To what extent has he depended on He An?Is this love?

He is not a person without feelings. He An's kindness to him moved him, made him get used to it, and made him willing to give back anything he had.But love is something he can't control. He didn't feel the feeling of love at first sight that his girlfriend in his previous life made him feel in He An, so he was really not sure if he would feel love for He An in the future. .

He repays He An's kindness to him with respect, knowing that this is not an exchange of equal value, which is unfair to He An.

However, instead of expecting and waiting for illusory love, it is better to repay with the respect you can give now. This is He Ning's view of love for He An.

Now He Ning still doesn't know that love is not love at first sight, there is also a long stream of water that moistens things silently.The water that nourishes love is neither fast nor slow, and it is often difficult for people to discover it before it has been stored to a certain amount.And when you realize it, you look back and see that it started without knowing when, but it has always been there.

The peach blossoms in Xingtao Garden have passed their peak flowering period, when a gust of evening wind blows, the rolled up petals twirl in the air before falling to the ground one after another, sinking into the soil, and turning into fragrance.

He An followed Steward Li all the way here, feeling something in his heart.is it him?is he here

The tendons on the legs have only been dealt with roughly, and have not been completely dredged. He An's pace was eager, and he accidentally tripped over the threshold.When he was about to stand still, he saw Butler Li opened the door of the bedroom, allowing him to see the figure lying on the bed at a glance.

He was dark and thinner.

On the way here, Steward Li explained to him about He Ning's injuries, but he didn't say anything else, and He An didn't ask.

Those injuries were enough to make his heart hurt just by sounding them. He An didn't realize how much real heartache really hurt until he saw He Ning.

He An, who was full of tears and didn't know it, approached the bed tremblingly and cautiously. Seeing this, Steward Li sighed, quietly closed the door and retreated out.

He Ning slept on his stomach very uneasy, especially when he put the splint in his right hand beside the pillow outside the quilt, this sleeping position looked uncomfortable.In addition, the recent wound healing is always itchy. He Ning can't help but rub the quilt and the bed board after falling asleep.The quilt on his shoulders would always slip off when he rubbed back and forth, waiting for the wind to blow in, causing a shiver.

He An felt so distressed watching this scene, quickly took off his clothes, carefully got into the bed, put He Ning's warm left arm carefully on his chest, warmed up, and then pulled up the quilt to cover it He Ning's shoulder.

Finally able to sleep next to him again, He An turned his head sideways, staring at He Ning intently, as if even blinking became an unnecessary hindrance.He needs time to savor the joy of being lost and regained, and he needs time to enjoy the happiness of watching Da Lang and taking care of Da Lang.

When He Ning in his sleep felt his back itching again, just as he frowned, he felt as if there was a hand on his back gently stroking him and comforting him, neither light nor heavy, neither would let him continue Itching doesn't hurt him either.

In the haze, he was so sleepy that he couldn't keep his eyes open, but he felt unusually at ease, as if he had returned to a baby in swaddling clothes and found his own harbor.

This night, He Ning slept particularly soundly. Not only did he not wake up from the cold, but he also didn't wake up from the pain. He slept peacefully and comfortably until dawn.
