Chapter 12

"As far as you can, people can't wait to find a place to take shelter from the rain. You can walk freely in the rain by yourself, do you think you can take a walk?" Wu Xie put down the tea, picked up the towel on the table and twisted it twice , Covering Zhang Qiling's hair again.

The jet-black hair was still stained with drops of water, which were accidentally punctured by the towel and melted into a puddle of water.The towel was soaked again after a while.Wu Xie took off the towel and wrung it dry. Seeing that Zhang Qiling's hair was no longer dripping, she put the towel aside.

Zhang Qiling remained expressionless, and tried his best to calmly let Wu Xie's hands rub his hair back and forth, and he would not feel bored by the random thoughts in his ears.

The sky outside was still blue-gray, and the continuous rain showed no signs of stopping.Wisps of cooking smoke wafted from the low houses in the distance.Misty rain, very beautiful.

Several women in the store got up to leave, Wu Xie saw the ingredients in the vegetable baskets in their hands, and understood that they were going home to cook.There are no extra umbrellas in the store, and the only umbrella Wu Xie found from the guest room when cleaning a few days ago, probably left by a previous customer.There was really nothing he could do about the unstoppable rain outside, so he said goodbye to a few people and sent them to the door.

The number of people in the store was reduced by more than half.There were still a few men chatting about something, and there was a little beggar who had nowhere to go, squatting on a bench beside him, his eyes were erratic, and he didn't know where to look.Wu Xie leaned over, stretched out her hand and shook it in front of his eyes, smiled at him again, and took out a candy from her arms.

The little beggar was not very old, he looked only seven or eight years old, and his pitiful appearance made him look more like a child who hadn't yet understood.Wu Xie put the candy into the child's palm, and smiled at him again.

Wu Xie's gentleness is just right, extremely sweet.

After a while, the remaining men also left one after another.The sky was getting late, and the rain did not mean to decrease, but it became more and more violent.

The little beggar huddled in a corner of the bench, and fell asleep at some point.He hadn't finished eating the candy in his hand, and he seemed to cherish it, so he bit off a small corner and ate it.

Wu Xie gently patted the child awake and called him to sleep in the guest room upstairs.The child didn't know how many years he hadn't slept in a warm and comfortable room, his eyes were full of excitement, and he quickly said many thanks to Wu Xie.

The little beggar was very well-behaved, and fell asleep again after lying on the bed for a while.Wu Xie took the candy out of his hand and put it on the small table beside the bed.And help to tuck the quilt for the child.

It looks like he won't be able to leave today.

Wu Xie took out the only umbrella in the store, and wanted Zhang Qiling to at least take an umbrella and go back first.Originally, I wanted to test whether the umbrella could still be used, but as soon as I opened it, I found that the surface of the umbrella had broken a few holes, and the umbrella ribs were broken.It turned out that it didn't fall here, it was originally what people didn't want.

"Actually, there is still an umbrella in the store. I wanted you to carry it home, but it turned out to be broken." Wu Xie showed the broken umbrella to Zhang Qiling, shrugged helplessly, and pointed upstairs, "Either you live here tonight, there are plenty of rooms."

In fact, Wu Xie didn't mean to let people go when he said this. According to Zhang Qiling's temperament of walking slowly even in the rain, he probably won't take care of himself too carefully when he returns. .So just before Zhang Qiling was about to refuse, Wu Xie said that he went to boil Zhang Qiling's bath water.

It was completely dark outside, Zhang Qiling came out of the shower, his whole body was radiating heat.Wu Xie just brought the last dish to the table.I don't know who left all the vegetables he bought in the store in the afternoon, and Wu Xie didn't care that it was someone else's stuff, thinking that if someone came looking for it, he would buy it again and pay them back.

Wu Xie really didn't have much confidence in his craft, so he told Zhang Qiling straightforwardly to eat something to fill his stomach and finish the job.Go upstairs again to wake up the little beggar and go downstairs to eat, and push the child into another room to take a bath after eating.

After working for a whole afternoon, when Wu Xie sat in the hot water of the wooden barrel by himself, he felt exhausted.Wu Xie couldn't help rubbing his body down, letting the hot water cover his body, and only his head was exposed on the water.Hot water relieves fatigue, but it also brings sleepiness.In order to prevent herself from falling asleep in the water and drowning, Wu Xie came out after soaking for a while, changed her clothes and went upstairs to sleep.

The doors of the room were all closed tightly, but when I closed my eyes, I could still clearly hear the sound of the wind and rain outside.

The candle beside the bed hadn't been blown out yet, Wu Xie's drowsiness just disappeared for some reason, and he made a hand shadow against the wall in the light of the candle, playing with it for a while and then laughed at himself for being naive, and laughed dryly for a couple of times After the sound, I leaned on my arm and looked at the ceiling.

The next door was Zhang Qiling, and Wu Xie only went to take a bath after calling him into the house, and now it sounded like there was no movement in the next door, so he must have fallen asleep.

Wu Xie bent her knuckles and wanted to knock on the wall twice to see if the person next door was asleep.If you are in the same spirit, you can chat. Anyway, the sound insulation effect of this room is not good, so there is no problem with chatting.But he stretched out his hand halfway and then retracted it, thinking that it would be bad if Zhang Qiling fell asleep.

So Wu Xie enjoyed the pleasure of insomnia by himself, and he didn't know how long it took before he fell asleep in a daze.

The rain probably stopped last night, and the sun was already out when I got up in the morning.The ground outside was not dry yet, and there were small puddles everywhere. After Zhang Qiling greeted Wu Xie, he went out early. Wu Xie 1 went to the steamed stuffed bun stand on the street to buy some steamed stuffed buns. Come back, go upstairs and wake up the little beggar.

The child slept soundly, but the smell of the steamed stuffed bun woke him up.Wu Xie handed him a big bun, poured another cup of tea, and told the child not to eat in such a hurry, that no one would grab him.

"What's your name?" Wu Xie reached out and stroked the child's slightly long hair behind his ears. The child's hair was very soft and a little damp to the touch.

"Little Ba." The child swallowed a mouthful of buns and looked at Wu Xie with sparkling eyes.

Wu Xie patted Xiao Ba on the head, thought for a while, and said, "Xiao Ba, would you like to stay with my brother to help out? I just need to run errands, and my brother will provide food and shelter here."

Xiao Ba's eyes were wide open, and he shouted several times in a hurry, "Yes, yes!"

"What's your brother's name?" The child took a sip of his tea, still relying on Wu Xie to wipe his oily little face with a handkerchief.

"My name is Wu Xie." After finishing speaking, he pinched the child's nose, took a bun and took a bite, leaving one for Xiaoba.

"Brother Wu Xie." Xiao Ba's voice was extremely crisp, it spun a few times in the air, and passed into Wu Xie's heart.
