At this moment, Chi Qing pushed open the courtyard door with one hand, and held the big bow in the other, looking sideways at Xie Niannian, his face was somewhat unclear in the rain, fog and dim light.

Xie Niannian felt that she was completely soaked now, and urgently needed to dry her clothes to warm up, but the identity of the person in front of her made her hesitate.

Before she could make a decision, she saw that Chi Qing had already walked in, and the courtyard door was still open, but her voice was still very clear in the rain: "Or I'll get you an umbrella."

The deep voice interrupted Xie Niannian's doubts, not only did she want to condemn herself: how could she be so heartless!He even doubted his savior!

Wanting to understand this, Xie Niannian stepped into the small courtyard without hesitation.

The yard is also clean and tidy. There are no weeds in the front yard, and there are not many small fields like Xie Niannian's yard, but a large open space.

In addition, several tile-roofed houses stood quietly in the rain, and there was a faint light in one of them. Chi Qing, who entered the house early, had already turned on the light.

Xie Niannian walked into the house, looked around, and found that there was a stove, cooking utensils, and some dry firewood piled up next to it, presumably it was the kitchen.

Chi Qing had already added some firewood to the earthen stove, lit the fire, and the flames sprang up quickly, looking warm and bright.

Two small benches were placed in front of the stove, and Chi Qing had already sat down, her long legs bent up a little bit, and there was still a large area around her.

Seeing this, Xie Niannian walked over and sat next to Chi Qing, the heat instantly rushed to her face, making her face blush.

"Thank you Miss Chi! I'll treat you to the sweet cake I made some other day!" His whole body began to warm up, and Xie Niannian's mood suddenly improved a lot, with an extremely obvious smile on his face.

But Chi Qing didn't answer, just continued to stare at the firewood.

Xie Niannian didn't feel embarrassed, and continued to look for topics: "Chi Qing, which Qing is it? Clear Qing?"

"The overturning tilt."

After getting the answer, Xie Niannian cheered a little inwardly. She doesn't seem to be as indifferent as she looks, maybe it's just that she is not good at words?

So Xie Niannian became more courageous, and she asked briskly, "Can I boil some hot water? I just want to drink some, it's so cold today."

As soon as the words fell, Chi Qing finally stopped staring at the fire, but turned his head and glanced at Xie Niannian, Xie Niannian was shocked: "Oh, if it's inconvenient"

Just as he was about to say that there is no hot water, it's okay, when Chi Qing stood up and scooped up a scoop of water from the water tank beside him, then turned around and took out a package from the cabinet: "Can you cook ginger soup?"

"Yes!" Xie Niannian hurriedly replied, he knew it very well!

The water is poured into the pot, and that bag contains ginger.Xie Niannian also stood up quickly, wanting to take the things in Chi Qing's hand.

Chi Qing raised her chin, and raised the things in her hand with a blank expression: "Sit down."

She was a head taller than Xie Niannian, and she looked at people expressionlessly from above, full of momentum.

Xie Niannian was helpless, and sat down again in a daze, didn't he let himself cook ginger soup, why are you so overbearing?

It wasn't until he saw Chi Qing that he fetched another basin of water, soaked the ginger in the water and washed it several times, and didn't put it on the chopping board until it was clean.

Then he took out a small porcelain jar from the cabinet next to it and put it aside, then said to the bewildered Xie Niannian, "Come here."

Alright, whatever your benefactor says is fine.

Although he didn't understand what Chi Qing was doing, Xie Niannian still stood up and walked to the stove.

She picked a smaller kitchen knife from the knife holder and sliced ​​the ginger neatly.

Sitting in front of the firewood for a long time, Xie Niannian even warmed his fingertips. Now that he touched the cold ginger for a while, he couldn't help shrinking his fingers.

But she quickly adjusted and cut the ginger into slices neatly, then put it into the pot.

Then she noticed the small porcelain jar, and just about to ask Chi Qing, she heard Chi Qing who stood aside like a supervisor and said, "Brown sugar."

Xie Niannian was overjoyed, Chi Qing's family actually prepared brown sugar!

Put the brown sugar into the pot as well, then put the pot on the stove, and then just wait for the water to boil.

After doing all this, Xie Niannian was at a loss again, what exactly was Chi Qing trying to do?She doesn't look like someone who doesn't know how to make ginger soup.

Xie Niannian guessed her intentions, and subconsciously wanted to see what she was doing.

Chi Qing had already sat down, adding firewood to the stove, but his eyelids were slightly closed, as if he was sleepy.

Even though he was sitting in front of the fire, there was no light from the fire in his eyes, only a deep blackness.

Xie Niannian suddenly wanted to lean over and talk to her.

Thinking this way, Xie Niannian did the same.

Sitting next to Chi Qing, Xie Niannian raised the corners of his mouth and smiled at Chi Qing: "Does Miss Chi like sweet cakes?"

"Don't eat."

"What about pancakes?"

""

"The pancakes I made are delicious too! Miss Chi, would you like to have a taste?"

""

"My own pancakes, the crust is very thin!" Seeing that Chi Qing still didn't respond, Xie Niannian began to boast.

It was completely dark outside, and the rain continued to fall, but the room was very warm, and Xie Niannian's clothes were about to dry out. The more she talked, the more excited she became, her eyes sparkled, as if she wanted to fry her immediately. A cake for Chi Qing.

In Xie Niannian's lengthy description and Chi Qing's occasional "hmm", the water in the pot boiled, bubbling and bubbling, ginger slices rolled in the brown water, Xie Niannian was able to Smell a touch of ginger.

After waiting for a few more minutes, Xie Niannian scooped up two large bowls with a spoon, and recommended his own sweet cake to Chi Qing, while waiting for the ginger soup to cool down.

Finally seeing that the ginger soup had cooled down a bit, Xie Niannian took a bowl and handed it to Chi Qing: "Miss Chi, try it?"

Then he also picked up a bowl, and the warm ginger soup fell into his throat. The brown sugar was sweet but not greasy, which neutralized the spicyness of the ginger, and then a wave of heat spread to his limbs, and Xie Niannian let out a long sigh of relief.

"That's great." She couldn't help sighing a little, although she died suddenly, but she lost her life in vain by transmigrating into the book.

Even if you encounter a wild boar on the mountain, there is a beautiful sister to save you, God still treats you well!

Thinking of this, Xie Niannian took another big gulp, covering most of her face with the bowl, she quietly looked at Chi Qing through the gap.

Chi Qing just took a sip, put down the bowl again, and then raised her eyes to the little girl who was peeking at her.

Xie Niannian, who was discovered, didn't feel embarrassed. After finishing the ginger soup in the bowl, he smiled generously: "Not to your liking? Is it sweet?"

Chi Qing still didn't answer, but just took out an oiled paper umbrella and a small lantern from the shelf by the door and handed them to Xie Niannian: "You should go back."

"Thank you girl, I will send back the umbrella and lamp another day."

Xie Niannian took it over, and he was already thinking about what to cook for Chi Qing. Tomorrow, he must go to Xuanzhou City for a stroll, maybe he might find a surprise.

Chi Qing took a lamp, lit the wick of the lantern, and then pushed open the door. The cold wind suddenly came in from outside the door, making Xie Niannian, who was used to the warmth, uncomfortable.

Chi Qing also took an umbrella and sent Xie Niannian to the gate of the courtyard, watching her hold the umbrella and carefully protect the lantern under the umbrella. The mountain road was slippery on a rainy night, so she walked a little slowly.

But at any rate, the wobbly light went down to the foot of the mountain safely.

Seeing that he could see the small village in the distance, Xie Niannian turned his head to look at the mountainside. The trees on the mountain looked like phantoms of ghosts and monsters, trying to eat people with their teeth and claws in the rainy night.

The dark clouds blocked the stars and the moon, and there was only a very faint light on the mountainside, which was a little blurred by the wind.That's a late light.

Maybe Chi Qing is not what the village chief said, Xie Niannian thought.

Not only did she save herself, but she also asked her to take her home to shelter from the rain, and asked herself to cook ginger soup. Although she didn't like to talk, she didn't show any obvious dislike for herself.

Like a notebook, Xie Niannian listed Chi Qing's actions one by one. The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she was a very good person.Who doesn't like a beautiful lady with a good temper?

The couple's death was probably really just an accident.

Xie Niannian stood in the rain for a while and watched, the light in the distance suddenly disappeared.

Chi Qing turned off the light.

With no one to see, Xie Niannian walked back to the village along the mountain road with a lamp in his hand.As soon as he crossed the small bridge and walked to the gate of his own courtyard, Xie Niannian was taken aback.

"Grandpa Xie! Why are you here!" The person in front of him was wearing a coir raincoat and a bamboo hat, standing under the pear blossom tree. He was village head Xie.

Village Chief Xie also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the person coming: "Thank you Niannian, it's a good thing you're back. Otherwise, I'd have to go to the mountains to look for you."

"You lost your way on the mountain?" Village Chief Xie asked with a frown.

How dare Xie Niannian let the old man talk to him in the rain, so he quickly opened the door to welcome Village Chief Xie into the house, and brought him a bench to sit down on.

While putting away the oil-paper umbrella and lantern, she replied: "No, I met a wild boar on the mountain road."

"Wild boar?" Village head Xie was also very surprised: "The mountain road is often patrolled by villagers, why is there suddenly a wild boar?"

"I don't know, maybe I'm just unlucky." Xie Niannian shook his head and poured another bowl of water for the village chief.

After taking a sip of water, Village Chief Xie felt relieved and found the lantern that Xie Niannian put on the table: "Where did you get this lantern?"

"Ah, it was given by a kind person." Thinking that the village chief seemed very dissatisfied with Chi Qing, Xie Niannian hurriedly explained.

Seeing that the village head frowned even deeper, but he hadn't spoken yet, Xie Niannian continued to interrupt Dafa: "I'm going to Xuanzhou City tomorrow."
