Son

Before the dream started, Shen Xu was ruthlessly awakened by Linqing, and the two went out, one in front and the other in the town.

There is an order in the decree that members of the Shen clan are not allowed to enter the city, be an official, or enter a temple within three generations. In fact, they are not allowed to enter.A group of people from the clan fell and scattered, and those who took the crime went to prison, while the collaterals were scattered, and those who got close usually went back to a certain family's hometown to live in peace. Like Shen Xu, both parents died and no wife and concubine escape Those who are naked and lonely on weekdays naturally have to live in the countryside to fend for themselves.

Fortunately, there is Linqing, otherwise Shen Xu really intends to be a beggar, and if he can't get it, he will starve to death.

I didn't tell Linqing about this idea, otherwise he would have to be taught a lesson.

They were not allowed to enter the city, so they had to go to the town to buy some household items.

In order to save some expenses, the two can only rely on one pair of legs to walk there.At first, the landlord brought them to see the house, and they made a detour to the village. The two of them listened to the landlord's sea blowing, and neither of them remembered the way. Now they are going back to the town along the way, and they are both a little dumbfounded.The criss-crossing paths in the field are like dense cobwebs, and there is no clue at all.

Big eye to small eye.

"This one." Shen Xu said.

"This one." Linqing pointed to the other one.

"No, there is a pit in this line, I fell when I came here."

"You obviously fell when you first came out of town, don't lie to me."

Shen Xu shook her head, "No, no, it's this one, I have an impression. I'm ten years older than you, just listen to me."

"It's too old to have a brain, and the one you're referring to clearly leads to the downstream river."

"How do you know that this is the channel leading to the river, and you haven't walked through it yet."

"This road twists and turns downwards, surrounded by frozen soil, but this road is soft. It can be seen that people pass this road all the year round to wash clothes downstream, and the water brought back wets the path."

Shen Xu took a deep breath, and decided to show the majesty of the head of the family, "I am you anyway, uh, my husband, you should listen to me."

The eloquent young master suddenly lost his voice for some reason, blushed and stared at him, and said nothing.

Satisfied, Shen Xu led the way first, "Let's go."

Along the way, the cold wind was bitter, the clouds were gloomy, and occasionally the jackdaws croaked alone, which was desolate and chilling.

Shen Xu walked ahead with trembling legs, folded her hands and buried her head, trying to resist the raging cold wind.Lin Qing remained silent at the back, his face felt hot one after another, thoughts were flying in his head, he didn't even care about the road.

The end of this is that after half a stick of incense, the two stood by the river, listening to the gurgling water, looking at each other speechlessly.

"This..." Shen Xu was a little embarrassed.

Linqing glanced at him and finally succeeded.

"Tell you to listen to me, but you won't listen!"

Shen Xu was shaken by the yelling, and smiled sarcastically, "Hey."

It's no use playing dumb!This was a waste of a long time, thinking that you can get over it with a smile?

Along with the grievances during lunch, all of them came out.

"I'll go by myself, I don't want you to follow, you go home and warm up your fire!" Lin Qing flung his sleeves and left.

Shen Xu came back to her senses, and quickly chased after him to stop him, "Don't be angry, can't I apologize?"

Lin Qing looked at him angrily.

For no reason, Shen Xu felt that this appearance was very cute. He was obviously a young man, but he wanted to pretend to be an adult. This swollen and wronged appearance was endearing no matter how you looked at it.

As soon as he couldn't hold it back, he stretched out his hand and pinched Lin Qing's face, and said with a smile, "You can have two taels of oil on your mouth."

Linqing's eyes widened, and her blush went all the way to her ears.

Shen Xu didn't realize how intimate his actions were just now. During the holidays, when he met a junior in his family, pinching his face and touching his head was a very common behavior. Linqing was young, so he treated him like a junior without knowing it.

However, there was another turmoil in Linqing's heart.

With this gentle pinch, the resentment dissipated immediately, followed by overwhelming embarrassment.

Kankan looked away, but didn't make a sound for a long time.

"Are you still angry?" Shen Xu asked.

At this moment, he didn't even dare to look at it, so he turned around and left.

Shen Xu was in a hurry, "Where are you going?"

Linqing quickened his pace.

"I won't go to town with you, who will help you carry your things?"

Then the pace slowed down a bit, the blush on his face increased, he bit his lip, but he was still feeling shy, and started to run again.

Shen Xu wailed from behind, "Hey, don't leave me, I don't know the way!"

Linqing clenched his fist.

Dead elm brains starve to death here!

"Forget it!"

After chasing so hard, she finally caught up with Linqing. Shen Xu was so tired that she didn't feel cold anymore, and her whole body was steaming.

Lin Qing glared at him and continued on her own way.Shen Xu knew she was in the wrong, adjusted her breath, and followed closely.

Stumbled, searched and searched, and finally touched the town.

Linqing took out a piece of paper from his bosom, on which was a list of things to buy today, Shen Xu peeked at it, and was speechless, from the quilt to the white salt, everything in detail.

He couldn't help but asked again: "You used to be a servant of the Zhang family?"

Linqing wished she could shut his mouth.

If you don't remember, you don't remember, you don't need to remind him of this fact all the time!

From the street to the end of the street, the two of them piled up more and more things in their hands. Shen Xu was holding a stack of boxes and could hardly see the way.

"Have you finished shopping?"

Linqing used her nails to make a small hole in the name of the item she bought, "There is still a quilt left."

"But I have nothing to hold."

"Don't you have a back?"

Shen Xu looked at him puzzled.

Linqing ignored him and went straight into the shop.

A moment later, Shen Xu staggered out of the shop with a quilt tied on his back and something taller than a person in his hands.

Linqing also had his hands full, but after taking two steps, he stopped again, as if hesitating.

"What's wrong?" Shen Xu asked.

Linqing glanced at him, "...Do you want to buy another bed?"

"Huh? Don't you have a bed at home?"

Lin Qing blushed slightly, "Aren't you afraid of the cold?"

"Huh? Two beds are not enough to cover?"

"..."

"Ok?"

"Aren't you unwilling to sleep with me?" Lin Qing roared angrily.

For a moment, the eyes of everyone on the street were attracted.

Tsk tsk, look, those who raise young children are so blatant now, it's really immoral and out of fashion.

Shen Xu buried her face behind a pile of cardboard boxes, Lin Qing followed suit, and the two turned despondently into a small alley.

Each other's breathing was a little short, and I don't know if it was because of moving things, or because of something else.

After a long time, Linqing whispered: "Buy another bed, we will build our own..."

Shen Xu subconsciously said: "One bed quilt is sixty renminbi, which is worth five days of dry food." After finishing speaking, Lin Qing's face changed again, and he hurriedly said: "Sleep together to keep warm, warm."

Linqing didn't speak, but his expression seemed to loosen.

Shen Xu breathed out silently, thinking that this young man is too sensitive, it's really difficult to deal with.

The way back was extremely long, and both of them had their own bags, so they had to stop and rest after walking for a while.It was getting late, and when Linqing rested again, he was thirsty and hungry, and he really couldn't hold on anymore.

A fruit suddenly appeared in front of my eyes.

Shen Xu squinted her eyes and smiled attentively, "You must be tired, you will be hungry after eating."

Linqing was a little surprised, this wooden head is sometimes careful?

"Thank you." After taking Guo'er, he took a bite, and the sweet juice entered his mouth, which was indescribably refreshing.

Linqing couldn't help sighing, and bent the corners of his mouth.

Shen Xu on the side was dumbfounded. From yesterday to today, this young man kept a straight face, as if everyone owed him three liang of silver. Now seeing him smiling, he was shocked and bright, and he couldn't take his eyes off for a while, looking at each other foolishly.

On that plain face, the pear dimple was shallow, and even people came alive.

Linqing noticed Shen Xu's gaze, and in a blink of an eye, he saw a scene of an idiot, immediately blushed, and said angrily, "What a sight!"

Shen Xu realized that she had lost her composure, so she quickly looked away, and smiled awkwardly, "Hey, it's the first time I see you smiling, and it looks pretty good."

Lin Qing's face turned even redder, her body froze and she couldn't hold back a word.

Shen Xu on the other end was still saying: "Smile more in the future, you only look like a 16-year-old boy when you smile. You have a tiger face all day long, which only increases your age, just like my uncle..."

Lin Qing turned his back to him, took a bite of the fruit, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and the emotions in his heart seemed to be gushing out in the next moment.

After resting enough, he continued on his way and finally arrived home before sunset.

After Shen Xu put the things down, she slumped on the chair and refused to move any more, yelling: "I'm exhausted..."

Linqing was also exhausted, but he still managed to put away the things he bought, and then went to the kitchen to light a fire to cook.

With cooking utensils and vegetables and fresh meat, it is no longer necessary to live on pasta.However, Linqing looked at the ingredients all over the place, but he was a little worried. He used to be a violinist, but he had never cooked before, even cooking noodles.

Guessing that the young master outside is also a guy who doesn't work hard and doesn't distinguish between food and grain, so he can only rely on himself.

Linqing thought about it and decided to cook first.

It’s just how to wash rice, how to pour water, when to boil the pot, when to consider it is done——

Forget it, let's explore slowly.

So after a cup of tea.

"Linqing, are you ready? I'm hungry."

"hold on."

After another cup of tea.

"Isn't it alright, my stomach is growling."

"Shut up and wait."

Then--

"Linqing, why do I smell a paste—"

"what!"

Shen Xu rushed into the stove, only to see the pot turned over and turned off, Lin Qing was blowing desperately while clutching his fingers.

Shen Xu scooped up a ladle of water, grabbed his hand and pressed it in.Although the cold well water was cold, it relieved the pain of the burn. Lin Qing glanced at him, and Shen Xu was checking his fingers nervously, with worry clearly visible between his brows.

"Fortunately, no bubbles."

Linqing withdrew his hand calmly, looked at the mess, feeling a little annoyed.

"Sorry, I have to wait for dinner."

Shen Xu looked around, sighed, and said, "Let's eat noodles tonight, and we'll study how to cook rice tomorrow."

Linqing responded with a muffled sound, turned around to light the fire, add water, and set down.

A solitary lamp, a pair of people, each holding a night of noodles in clear soup, eating in silence, so desolate.

"I've never cooked before." Lin Qing said suddenly.

Shen Xu said "Oh", "I haven't done it either."

"...I will learn."

"okay."

Lin Qing blushed from holding back, thinking that I would never talk to you again, it was like talking to a duck.

Asking one more question seems to kill you!It's so annoying!

After eating, Linqing washed the dishes with a pot of water, and Shen Xu nestled at his feet and kept warm by the stove. Linqing glanced at him occasionally, and saw that he looked contented, not knowing how much he was satisfied.

It's worthless!Linqing thought angrily.

I don't know if I worry about the future, I'm really a dude.

Linqing wiped his hands, took a few spoonfuls of flour, picked up the bowls and chopsticks, as if he was about to go out.

"Where are you going?" Shen Xu asked.

"return things."

Only then did Shen Xu remember that they had borrowed the neighbor's bowls and chopsticks for the past two days. Seeing that Lin Qing was about to leave, he also stood up, "I'll go with you."

Linqing couldn't help but take another look at him. To be honest, he felt uneasy when he went out alone this late at night. It would be great to have someone to accompany him.

However, along the way, instead of showing the appearance of taking care of him, Shen Xu tried her best to get close to him, and even grabbed the corner of his clothes, looking around nervously.

"What's wrong?" Lin Qing asked.

Shen Xu rubbed his nose and said embarrassedly, "Well, actually... I'm afraid of the dark."

If it weren't for the fact that he was still holding other people's dishes in his hands, he really wanted to push this person into the field.

Fortunately, he was a little touched.

Never trust him again!

When he arrived at the neighbor's house, Linqing returned the things and said some words of thanks.Seeing a taller man following him, the neighbor couldn't help asking curiously, "Who is this?"

Linqing said angrily, "My servant."

Shen Xu's eyes widened.

"I see." The neighbor nodded knowingly, "It looks a little stupid."

Shen Xu turned to stare at the neighbor.

Unfortunately, no one cares.

On the way back, Shen Xu was still tugging at Lin Qing's clothes, Lin Qing was so angry that he had no strength left.

With two quilts, it is naturally warmer.Linqing took out the charcoal brazier he bought today, and lit a fire in the bedroom. After a while, the cold air in the room dissipated a lot.

Shen Xu nestled under the quilt, watching Lin Qing sitting at the table and keeping accounts.

Under the dim candlelight, Lin Qing writes the book, the handwriting is elegant and well-organized, and he writes down everything exactly.When he was done, he looked at the ledger in thought.

It took five taels of silver today, and the ingredients bought back can only be used for ten days. At this rate, the remaining 12 taels of silver will be used up in half a year.

We must find a way to make money, otherwise both of us will starve to death.

Linqing was engrossed in his thoughts, Shen Xu looked at him eagerly, and couldn't help but said: "Don't you want to sleep, it's late."

"Sleep if you want, I'm thinking about something."

Shen Xu patted the bed, "I warmed up the quilt, come up quickly."

"You sleep with yours."

"...I can't sleep with the light on."

Lin Qing took a deep breath, tired and unbearable.

He blew out the candle, took off his coat, and climbed into bed in the dark.

Shen Xu presented the treasure and said, "How about it, is it warm?"

In the winter, being able to roll into a warm bed is also a pleasure.

Linqing let out a "hmm", and didn't bother to care about this person's previous behavior.

"Go to sleep." Shen Xu turned over and closed her eyes.

Lin Qing lay down for a long time, and after hearing steady breathing from her side, her stiff body finally relaxed.

Moved a little, moved a little, blushing, rubbed against Shen Xu, stretched out his hand and scratched, finally got up the courage to grab the corner of Shen Xu's clothes, and then closed his eyes with a throbbing heart.
