Baishou loses Shaohua

Xuan Lie and Ji Yinghan walked out of the mansion and walked to the riverside unknowingly.At this time, the night market is a bustling time, and the street is very lively with shouts.

"Young master, try a piece of red bean cake, it's sweet." A peddler not far away shouted.

"Wait for me." Xuan Lie threw this sentence at Ji Yinghan, squeezed through the turbulent crowd of people alone, and came back with an extra bag of red bean cakes in his hand.

"Come on, try it." Xuan Lie held the red bean cake in front of Ji Yinghan, and the smile on the corners of his eyes was also sweet.

Ji Yinghan was puzzled: "Why did I think of buying this?"

"It's what you said last time. When I was a child, I always ate red bean cakes made by your mother. Although this may not be as delicious as your mother's, the taste should not be bad. You can smell the aroma from a distance."

Ji Yinghan was slightly taken aback, he didn't expect Xuan Lie to actually remember what he said casually in his heart.I reached out and took a piece of red bean cake to my mouth. It was sweet, soft and delicious.

"How is it?" Xuan Lie was eager like a child waiting to be praised, "Is it delicious?"

"En." Ji Yinghan smiled and nodded slightly.

"Eat a few more pieces if you like it." Xuan Lie stuffed the whole bag into Ji Yinghan's hands, then took a piece from it and put it in his mouth, nodded, "It's really good."

Holding a pack of red bean cakes while walking and eating, Xuan Lie and Ji Yinghan stopped and stopped for half an hour, and both of them were a little tired, so they went back home.

As soon as he turned out of the bustling main street, Xuan Lie reached out and wrapped his hands around Ji Yinghan's fingers. The sweet smell of red bean cake still lingered on the fingertips, slowly swaying in his nose in the quiet and deep alley.Ji Yinghan's icy hands felt warm after a long absence.

Ji Yinghan turned his head to look at Xuan Lie's face against the bright moonlight, this person is really like this, silently paying attention to him, silently giving him, even if it is just a sentence he mentioned, he is so careful write down.He cared about him so much, but never asked him for anything.If he doesn't like him, he won't get close; if he doesn't feel comfortable, he won't get close.Most importantly, I didn't even resent his touch.There are many things that others can't do, but he can, and he seems to have given him certain privileges unintentionally.

When did it all start?

Ji Yinghan thought back slowly but couldn't figure it out.

Maybe even Xuan Lie didn't realize that he had already covered Ji Yinghan's heart so warm.

"Help—! Help—!"

A woman's sharp voice came from the alley in front, breaking the silence of the alley.Xuan Lie and Ji Yinghan looked at each other and frowned at the same time.The two had just reached the entrance of the alley when a woman stumbled out of it.

"Two gentlemen, save me." The woman cried while speaking, and knelt down in front of the two of them.

"Girl please get up..."

Before Xuan Lie finished speaking, two people had already chased out in the alley, yelling: "I'll see where you are running!"

The woman shrank in fright and almost fell to the ground.

"Who are you?" Xuan Lie stepped forward to block the woman behind her.

Ji Yinghan sized up the woman, then looked at the two menacing men in front of him, and frowned.

"I am her husband." One of the men was proud.

Xuan Lie frowned and turned back to the woman and asked, "Is that really the case?"

"He's talking nonsense. I don't even know him," the woman denied.

"You don't recognize me, but I'm indeed your husband." The man wanted to step forward, but Xuan Lie gave him a stare and stopped him, "Your father owes me more money, and you have already paid me gone."

"Impossible." The woman cried out in distress, "My father is seriously ill and has been bedridden for a few days. How could it be possible for me to be delivered to you?"

The man didn't blush when he saw the lie was exposed: "Even if it wasn't your father who said it, but he lent me a lot of money for medical treatment and medicine. What's wrong with paying the debt to the father? Your family can't afford that much money." Come."

The woman lowered her head, unable to speak, only trembling all the time.

"How much does her father owe you?" Xuan Lie asked.

"It's 20 taels of silver." The man said.

Xuan Lie untied her purse from her waist, took out the silver and handed it to the man: "20 taels, I will pay it back for her, you can go now."

The man took the silver, looked at the woman again, and left with the man behind him.

Xuanlie turned around and handed the money bag to the woman behind him: "Since your father is sick in bed, he should need money to see a doctor and take medicine."

The woman froze for a moment, feeling a little overwhelmed for a while.

"Take it." Xuan Lie smiled and nodded at her.

The woman reached out to take it, and then slowly got up from the ground: "Thank you, young master."

"It's just a little effort. It's getting late, you're a girl, you'd better go home early."

The woman looked at the direction the man left, and seemed to be a little scared.

"Wait a minute." Ji Yinghan said.

"What's wrong?" Xuan Lie asked.

The woman glanced at Ji Yinghan and hurriedly lowered her head.

"It's so late, it's probably not safe for her to walk alone at night as a woman."

"That……"

"Xuan Lie, since you helped her, you might as well help her to the end and send her back."

"Huh? What about you?"

"I'm a little tired, I want to go back first."

Xuan Lie looked at Ji Yinghan and then at the woman, nodded and said: "Then you go back and rest earlier."

"I know." Ji Yinghan nodded, turned and left.

"Where does the girl live?" Xuan Lie asked the girl.

The woman blessed her body: "My family lives in Luoyan Lane in the south of the city."

"Please lead the way."

The woman said that Luoyan Lane is in the south of the city, but they are now located in the north of the city, and they need to cross the most prosperous main street in Linzhou City, Linjiang.When Xuan Lie and the woman walked by, it was already time to close the stalls, and each vendor packed up their goods and dispersed with their burdens.Xuan Lie always felt that there was a faint and weird feeling in his heart that couldn't go away.

"Aunt He, did you sell a lot today?" The female shopkeeper of a sugar ball stall chatted with the aunt who sold sachets next to her while closing the stall.

"It's okay, just two or three more than last night." The auntie pinned a piece of her hair behind her ear and smiled at the female shopkeeper.

"Aunt He, your craftsmanship is good. Other sachet shops can't buy these in two days. I'm afraid I'll have to stay up late to sew again when I go back tonight."

"Yes, if not tomorrow night, there will be nothing to sell." The aunt straightened up and thumped her waist, "Oh, I'm getting old and my waist is not working anymore, and my eyes are not working anymore. There are so many calluses on my fingers. , when will such a day end..."

Xuan Lie's eyes fell on the hand of the woman in front.Generally, women from poor families do not know how to do needlework, and even other household chores, and there will be some calluses on their fingers, but when this woman took her purse just now, although her finger pulps were covered with calluses, the worst But it is the hard cocoon at the tiger's mouth.The hard cocoon at the tiger's mouth will only remain after using a certain weapon for a long time.

Looking at the woman's steps again, they were so light that there was no sound of footsteps.Thinking about it again, the alley just now was too quiet, and it was close to the main street anyway, so there was no one there.

Xuanlie's heart sank and he immediately reached out to pat the woman. The woman seemed to be vigilant all the time, and pulled a pedestrian beside her to block her, Xuanlie hurriedly withdrew her moves.

The woman stepped on the shoulders of the person next to her and jumped towards the roofs on both sides of the street. She turned her head and smiled wickedly: "It's too late for you to find out now. I'm afraid that person has already been dismembered."

Xuan Lie had no intention of chasing the woman, turned around and ran back in a hurry.Although he knew that Ji Yinghan's martial arts were strong, the woman's words still made him flustered, and if he took so much trouble to lure him away, it was certain that he would win.

The more Xuan Lie thought about it, the colder he felt in his heart, so many doubts that he hadn't noticed the slightest bit before.

The most damning thing was that he didn't find it strange when Ji Yinghan asked him to send the woman home.How could Ji Yinghan meddle in his own business and care about the safety of a strange woman?
