son, don't mess around

Chapter 152

When Lin Jiangnian returned to the small mountain village, it was still early.

This is a small mountain village located outside Xunyang City, not too far from the Wang family's private residence.However, due to the geographical location, it feels a bit like a paradise.

There are not many villagers in the small mountain village, but they are considered simple.

The same is true of the old couple who took in Lin Jiangnian and Zhiyuan. When Lin Jiangnian escaped from the back mountain with Zhiyuan the night before, both of them were injured and exhausted.

The old couple enthusiastically took the two of them in. When they learned that Zhiyuan was seriously injured, the old couple enthusiastically helped prepare hot water, clothes and various medicines.

At that time, Lin Jiangnian was also seriously injured, and his internal strength was severely depleted. If it weren't for the help of this old couple, the consequences would have been disastrous.

When Lin Jiangnian returned to the courtyard, the old woman's surprised voice came from the courtyard: "Young man, are you back?"

Lin Jiangnian nodded slightly, and looked at the door of the room not far away: "Auntie, how is she?"

The old woman was full of smiles: "Young man, don't worry, your wife is fine, she was still chatting with the aunt just now, and she just went back to her room to rest not long ago."

"Her injury should be much better, don't worry."

lady?

Lin Jiangnian was startled, and soon realized that the aunt must have misunderstood something.

However, Lin Jiangnian did not explain, but chuckled lightly: "That's good, by the way, ma'am, can I borrow your cooking pot?"

The old woman's eyes fell on the medicinal herbs in Lin Jiangnian's hands, and she nodded hurriedly: "There are some, come with me."

Lin Jiangnian borrowed a pot from the old woman and made a fire to cook the medicine!

Zhiyuan's trauma and internal injuries are not serious this time, if not handled carefully, there may be sequelae.Lin Jiangnian didn't carry many pills with him, most of them were not on him except for emergency life-saving ones.

Fortunately, Lin Jiangnian had written down a lot of prescriptions he got from the Ruyi Building. Although he didn't have any ready-made ones right now, he could still cook them himself.

After boiling two bowls of decoction, Lin Jiangnian picked up a bowl and drank it. He felt the aroma of the herbs circulating in his body, making his whole body feel comfortable, and the injuries in his body were slightly relieved.

"It really works!"

Lin Jiangnian nodded in satisfaction, picked up the remaining bowl of soup, turned around and went to the door of the room on the other side, and knocked on the door.

In the room, there was silence.

no respond?

Fall asleep?
Lin Jiangnian tried to push the door, but the door was unlocked, and it opened with a light push.

At this time, the sky had just darkened, and the room was dark and silent.

In the dark, Lin Jiangnian came to the side table with the soup, put it down, then lit the oil lamp on the table, and the faint light illuminated the room.

On the bed not far away, a figure was sitting, looking at him calmly.

"Why don't you light the lights when it's dark?"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at her, "Come to drink medicine."

No response, still silent.

Lin Jiangnian turned to look at the side of the bed, saw Zhi Yuan sitting on the side of the bed, and raised his eyes to look at him.

Silent, I don't know what to think.

Lin Jiangnian was taken aback, for some reason, she felt a little strange?
"what happened to you?"

Lin Jiangnian looked at her, but Zhi Yuan quickly lowered her eyes.

"fine."

She spoke calmly.

Lin Jiangnian glanced at it for a while, but didn't see any problem, so he waved his hand: "Okay, don't be dazed, come and drink medicine."

Zhiyuan was still silent, and when Lin Jiangnian turned around, she raised her eyes for a few more glances.There seemed to be a hint of imperceptible shame and anger flashing in his eyes.

But in the end, nothing was said.

She got up slowly and came to the table.Looking at the medicine bowl on the table: "What is this?"

"medicine!"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at her: "Don't worry, it's not drugs."

Paper Kite: "..."

Zhi Yuan pursed her lips as if recalling someone's bold words a few months ago.

Some dissatisfaction.

"This son personally boiled the medicine for you, isn't it moving?" Lin Jiang smiled young.

Zhiyuan seemed to be thinking of something, her fair face was a little unnatural, and the bottom of her clear eyes was a little red.

He kept his head down and said nothing.

Without answering Lin Jiangnian's words, he looked at the medicine bowl on the table and gently lifted it closer. The medicine bowl was filled with the aroma of herbs, and it looked like a prescription for internal injuries.

At this moment, Zhi Yuan raised her eyes and looked at Lin Jiangnian with complicated eyes.

After a long silence, he hesitated to speak.

"Just say what you want to say?"

Lin Jiangnian saw that something was wrong with her expression.

From the moment he entered the room, something was wrong with her.

The status is wrong?
However, Zhiyuan remained silent and did not speak.

"Why are you blotted out all of a sudden?"

Lin Jiangnian wondered, the Zhiyuan in his impression was not such a hypocritical person.

What's going on here?
Zhiyuan still looked down at the medicine bowl, silent.Picking up the medicine bowl to his mouth, he took a sip.

The strong herbal aroma hits, and it's not unpalatable.

After taking a few sips, he began to drink in small sips.

She drank very slowly, her movements were very gentle, and her every move had the elegant etiquette from a wealthy family, which looked very ornamental.

Zhi Yuan was adopted by Concubine Lin since she was a child, and after Concubine Lin passed away, she was left in the Jiang family in the south of the Yangtze River, and was adopted by the aunt of Prince Lin's son. .

Speaking of the aunt of Prince Lin's son, she can be regarded as a strange woman!

She is Princess Lin's younger sister, but she is much younger than Princess Lin. It is unknown what age she is now, but she is still not married.

I heard that the aunt's reputation in the south of the Yangtze River is almost the same as that of Prince Lin's son in Linjiang City, and is equally prestigious.

Of course, that aunt had never done such a bastard thing as Lin Wang's son, but I heard that the aunt acted decisively, resolutely, and her personality was brutal, and many people in the south of the Yangtze River were frightened.

A few years ago, there were people who came to ask for marriage, but after being swept out by that aunt, it was rarely heard that anyone dared to come to the door again.

So much so that it was rumored that the aunt had a stunning appearance and could be regarded as the most beautiful woman in the south of the Yangtze River, but so far no one cares about her.

Such a shrew is rare in the world.

In this case, it is outrageous to be able to marry.

Lin Jiangnian only occasionally heard about these things from the gossip of the servants in Linwang's mansion. He had no contact with that aunt, and he didn't even know what she looked like.

However, Lin Jiangnian heard that the little aunt went to the capital a few days ago. I don't know if he will meet in the capital this time?

Lin Jiangnian was thoughtful.

I heard that the aunt of Prince Lin's son came to Prince Lin's Mansion two years ago and lived in Prince Lin's Mansion for a while, but she went back again for unknown reasons.

When you heard that you went back, you were quite angry?
Could it be related to Prince Lin's son?
……

In the room, at the desk.

Zhiyuan finished the soup in the bowl in small sips, put down the bowl, and exhaled lightly, her fair and delicate face became a little more rosy.

She narrowed her eyes slightly, feeling the changes in her body.

The decoction entered her body, like a warm current that quickly spread throughout her body. Wherever it went, a warm and soft feeling hit her, healing her body.

Very comfortable.

It was very warm, like a ball of flame, which made the pain in her body lessen a lot.

This medicine really has a miraculous effect.

Zhiyuan opened her eyes, and a flash of light flashed by.

Then, as if thinking of something, he raised his eyes.See Lin Jiangnian sitting opposite, looking thoughtful.

Zhi Yuan glanced blankly for a few times, and when she saw Lin Jiangnian was thinking seriously, she glanced a few more times before she came to her senses.

In my mind, I remembered what my aunt had said to her today.

For some reason, an inexplicable shyness emerged, and her face suddenly felt a little hot.

He even felt a little hot all over his body.

"what happened to you?"

Lin Jiangnian suddenly recovered and looked up at her.

As if some kind of mind had been seen through, Zhi Yuan turned her head in a panic and took a deep breath.

"fine."

The voice was still cold, but inadvertently revealed a trembling of panic.

Lin Jiangnian heard it, and felt that she was a little strange.

"Finished?"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at the table: "How do you feel?"

"much better."

Zhiyuan turned her head, looked at the wall in the room, and spoke silently.

It seems that he is not used to the current atmosphere.

However, he couldn't control it.

She had always been calm and calm, but for some reason her thoughts began to become chaotic.

"That's fine!"

Lin Jiangnian nodded, and when he was about to speak, there was a knock on the door.

"Boy, girl, are you there?"

Lin Jiangnian got up and opened the door, and the old woman was standing outside the door.

"Are you hungry? I've prepared a meal. Come and eat together." The old woman warmly invited.

Lin Jiangnian turned to look at the kite behind him: "Are you hungry?"

Zhi Yuan glanced at the door, hesitated for a moment, then shook her head lightly: "I'm not hungry, you can eat."

"Row."

Lin Jiangnian turned around: "Ma'am, she's not hungry, I'll just go."

The old woman was taken aback, and when she was hesitating to say something, Lin Jiangnian gave her a look, walked out of the room, and closed the door.

The door of the room, Zhiyuan stared blankly at the door, it took a long time to recover.

She got up and sat cross-legged back on the bed, and began to practice exercises to heal her injuries!
After half an hour, she let out a soft breath.

Injured by the shock wave of the explosion, the internal injuries were serious, but fortunately they were not fatal.Then you just need to rest and recover completely.

Opening his eyes, he saw that it was completely dark outside.The room was still dark, except for the oil lamp on the table, there was no movement.

There was a lonely and cold atmosphere in the whole room.

Zhi Yuan has been used to such an environment since she was a child, and her personality is independent and cold, so there is nothing wrong with her.

But tonight, for some reason, she felt a little uneasy.

In this lonely and unfamiliar room, in that dark and oppressive environment, she felt an indescribable panic in her heart.

Perhaps it was a serious injury, or for other reasons, her mood today was not stable.In such an environment, I feel vaguely uneasy, apprehensive, flustered, and a little confused...

She doesn't like this feeling very much!
In the darkness, those cold eyes stared straight out of the dark window, thinking of something.

until shortly after.

"Dengdeng..."

Not far away, footsteps gradually came.

Following the familiar sound of footsteps from far to near, Zhiyuan's eyes gradually became alive and slowly opened.

The heart that was originally hanging down seemed to have landed firmly on the ground.

A sudden and inexplicable sense of security!

"Squeak!"

The door was pushed open.

Lin Jiangnian's figure appeared at the door, and the moment the door was opened, the autumn wind poured in, adding a bit of chill to the room.

At the same time, along with the blowing in, there is also the aroma of food.

Zhi Yuan was startled, looked up, and saw Lin Jiangnian walking into the room, still holding something in his hand.

what is this?
Lin Jiangnian took out the hot food in the basket in his hand, put it on the table, and glanced at Zhiyuan who was still in a daze: "What are you doing in a daze, come over to eat!"

Seeing this scene, Zhiyuan was stunned for a long time, and subconsciously said: "I don't..."

"I haven't eaten for two days, don't tell me you're not hungry? Do you think you've become a fairy and don't need to eat anymore?"

Before Zhi Yuan could finish speaking, Lin Jiangnian interrupted her angrily.

Still stubborn?
Zhiyuan remained silent, a look of embarrassment and anger appeared on her cold face.

As if being seen through the mind.

"Come here quickly!"

Lin Jiangnian arranged the food on the table, and opened his mouth angrily.

The impatient tone made Zhiyuan feel a little unhappy.She gritted her teeth lightly, with a stubborn look on her face.

But then, she seemed to think of something, looked up at him, was silent for a moment, got up without saying a word, came to the table, and sat down.

On the table, there are several home-cooked dishes.

"This is the meal that my aunt has worked so hard to cook for us. Don't waste your hard work!"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at her and pouted.

He knew the character of his little maid too well.

She would never be willing to go out to eat with others, and if she didn't think of a way, she could starve herself to death.

Zhiyuan remained silent.

Looking at the delicious food on the table, his eyes were dazed.

Lin Jiangnian at the side was not polite anymore, he picked up the bowl and chopsticks and started to eat, he was still hungry.

Seeing Lin Jiangnian wolfing down, Zhi Yuan concealed the emotion in her eyes.

Have a meal!

……

After eating and clearing the table, it's getting late!

The people in the small mountain village don't have much entertainment at night, and they almost have to rest after dark.

The weather is getting cooler and the nights are getting chilly.

The cold wind outside the room whistled and blew the doors and windows, making a rustling sound.The two people in the room were sitting at the table, staring at each other, and fell into an awkward situation.

It's dead of night!
Time to rest!

But problems also followed!

Only one room and only one bed!

This room was left empty for the old couple after their daughter got married.

There is only such a room and only one bed, doesn't that mean...

Realizing this, Zhiyuan's expression changed.She raised her eyes and saw that Lin Jiangnian's gaze was also on her, and she immediately became vigilant.

The two of you looked at me and I looked at you, neither of them spoke first.

"or……"

Lin Jiangnian thought for a while and asked tentatively, "Squeeze?"

Zhiyuan's eyes were wary, and when she was about to speak, she heard Lin Jiangnian's assurance: "Don't worry, I don't despise you."

Paper Kite: "..."

A trace of shame and anger flashed in her eyes, she lowered her head and said nothing.

I don't know what I was thinking.

The two of them were silent and stalemate, neither of them spoke.

It is indeed a big problem.

The old couple obviously regarded them as husband and wife, so they didn't make special preparations.But even with preparation, there are not enough rooms.

Under such conditions, it is not bad to be able to live.

After a while, it was Lin Jiangnian who spoke first and sighed softly.

"Forget it, I'm joking with you, I'll play the floor."

Lin Jiangnian was just joking with her, just to tease her.

He knew Zhi Yuan's character very well, she was the little maid who dared to turn against him and get angry when she just secretly kissed her when she was in the palace.

How could she be willing to sleep in the same bed with him?

If it was normal, Lin Jiangnian would definitely occupy the bed directly.As for whether she would like to sleep on the bed or on the floor, it's up to her.

But this time, because she saved her life and was seriously injured, she decided to let her order.

Lin Jiangnian got up and walked towards the door: "I'll go to my aunt and ask for another quilt."

When he walked to the door and was about to open it, the sound of a kite came from behind him.

"Wait, wait a minute..."

Lin Jiangnian stopped in his tracks and turned around in doubt: "Huh? What's the matter?"

"Don't, don't go..."

The north wind whistled outside the door, almost covering the faint sound of flies and mosquitoes in the room.

very light.

With a shudder.

But again, it seemed that he had made up his mind.
