[Comprehensive Water Margin] Female supporting role is not bad

The night is already deep.

When she went back, she was afraid of disturbing the neighbors, so she knocked on the door softly and called, "Mother."

Yan Po was doing needlework under the lamp, when she heard the faint sound of someone knocking on the door, she wondered if her daughter had come back?

She quickly ran to open the door, and saw Ni Xi leaning on the edge of the door frame with one hand, limping tremblingly into the door.

Yan Po was startled, hurried up to help her and asked, "What's wrong with my son?"

"I'm fine,"

Looking at the worry on Yan Po's face, Ni Xi comforted: "Don't worry, Auntie, it's just that she kicked that stone on the way back, and it will be fine in a few days."

"This is for no reason, how could you kick a stone?" Yan Po was a little puzzled.

While helping Ni Xi to walk into the house, she babbled: "It's really bad luck, it seems that I have to buy some joss sticks and candles and go to the Lingguan Temple to worship in a few days."

"Aniang, don't bother, it's just a minor injury." Ni Xi whispered.

The ancients were superstitious, and Ni Xi was very helpless about this. She couldn't say that it was because there was a scholar next to her who kept her distracted while walking, so she didn't notice the stone.

After Yan Po supported Ni Xi to sit down, she stared, "What's the trouble? None of you two can rest easy. First it was the old man, and now it's you..."

"Okay, okay." Seeing that Yan Po was talking more and more, Ni Xi quickly stopped, diverted her attention and asked, "How is Dad today?"

Yan Po sighed, "What else can I do, he just fell asleep after drinking the soup."

Ni Xi glanced inadvertently, and suddenly realized that Yan Po looked much older, with a lot of silver strands added to her hair, the lines at the corners of her eyes became deeper, and she was shrouded in deep sadness.

"Auntie,"

A sense of sadness welled up in Ni Xi's heart, she gently stepped forward and hugged Yan Po, "It will get better."

Yan Po patted Ni Xi on the back, smiled kindly, "Yes."

The mother and daughter whispered a few warm words, and as they got closer, Po Yan noticed that her daughter's cheeks were still flushed, and she said in surprise: "My son is drunk? Why is his face so red?"

Ni Xi was taken aback, and felt uncomfortable with his hands, his face was still hot.

She hesitated and said, "Maybe it's because I'm wearing too thick clothes and it's getting hot after walking such a long distance."

Yan Po simply didn't ask any more questions, the two said a few words casually and went to rest separately.

Lying on the familiar small wooden bed, Ni Xi tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

The wound on the foot has been covered with medicine just now, but it doesn't hurt so much, but for some reason, I usually fall asleep at this time, but tonight I can't sleep for a long time.

As soon as she closes her eyes, that handsome face will appear in front of her, and that smiling gaze seems to be able to penetrate her to the bottom of her heart, making her heart beating non-stop.

I don't know if he is here now?

A scholar, in such a dark night and without a lantern, I hope nothing will happen.

By the way, I have injured my feet these days and can't go to work with him. What can I do for this scholar to eat? Also, his two clothes are still in the wooden tub and have not been washed. I planned to wash them tomorrow morning. Will there be a change of clothes in a few days...

Bah, bah, bah, she's always thinking about what this scholar is doing, he's a big man with hands and feet, so there's no need for her to worry about it.

Ni Xi couldn't help but secretly disliked her own carelessness in her heart, and simply covered her head under the quilt and stopped thinking about it...

Besides, Wu Yong on the other side, after he sent Ni Xi there, he walked back by himself in the dark.

After crossing the stream, he didn't go back to the bamboo house, but went straight to Chao Gai's village.

Other people's lights have been turned off, but this village is still brightly lit, and there are heroic laughter coming from inside from time to time, making it lively.

A shopkeeper at the gate happened to see Wu Yong coming, and greeted him in surprise, "Professor, you are here."

Wu Yong nodded and asked, "Where is Baozheng?"

The farmer replied: "Today, a hero who can use all kinds of martial arts came to the village. Baozheng is having wine with him in the thatched cottage!"

As he said, he was about to take Wu Yong, but Wu Yong refused, saying: "Xiaosheng has something to ask Baozheng, please tell Baozheng that I will wait for him in the back hall."

"Professor, wait a moment."

Everyone knew the relationship between Wu Yong and Chao Gai, so the farmer didn't ask any more questions, but went to find Chao Gai as he said.

At the front of the Zhuangzi is a thatched cottage for entertaining guests, and at the back there is a back hall besides the wing rooms. Except for cronies, few people come here on weekdays.

Wu Yong sat there and waited. Naturally, a farmer served him a pot of good tea. After a while, Chao Gai came.

Chao Gaisheng was burly and majestic, with the appearance of a bearded man, his voice was like a bell, before he entered the door, the voice came first: "Brother, why don't you go and have a drink with us?"

Wu Yong hurriedly got up to salute, and said calmly: "Brother, don't blame me. You came here tonight because you need your help for something."

Chao Gai raised his thick eyebrows, displeased: "You and I are brothers, why are you so polite, I will help you if there is anything, you just say it."

Wu Yong sat down with Chao Gai, and then told the story eloquently.

Only Chao Gai laughed, patted his thigh and said: "What should I do, what's the problem, just tell them."

Wu Yong cupped his hands in thanks and said, "Thank you, brother."

Under the candlelight, I saw him standing gracefully in a green shirt, with a smile on his face, looking like a gentle and elegant scholar.

Handsome, gentle and harmless, people can't help but feel defensive.

If he didn't remember Wu Yongfang's words, I'm afraid Chao Gai would think so too.

Chao Gai squinted at him, couldn't help laughing and scolding him: "You have a good appearance, people who don't know will probably be deceived by you."

"Brother is serious."

Wu Yong's smiling expression remained unchanged, neither affirming nor denying Chao Gai's words.

Seeing him like this, Chao Gai joked, "I'm curious about the little lady who can be liked by you, and I will definitely show you someday."

Mentioning that person, Wu Yong's expression became warmer, and he smiled slightly: "Don't worry, brother, he will naturally bring me to meet you someday."

"All right, all right," Chao Gai smiled boldly, and the whole back hall was surrounded by his hearty laughter, "It's over, now you should accompany me to have a drink."

"Being respectful is worse than obeying orders." Wu Yong replied with a smile.
