Chapter 269 He is back
"If the girls in front don't like the guy, they will look back. If they like the guy, there will be no chance for the girls behind them, so An Guo always lines up at the back."
No wonder I never got the chance to see it after going there many times.
"Yeah." Shen Suya sighed again and shook her head, "Every family has sold their grain and has money in their hands. They all ask Yue Niang to find a marriage partner for them. There are too many people."
"If there were fewer people, maybe my brother could find a girl. But with so many people, I don't know when my brother will find a girl. I'm worried about him."
"There's nothing we can do even if we're in a hurry." Ji Wenhe turned and looked up at the sky, "It's snowing."
"Just let it rain. It's warm to lie in bed in the winter."
"Xiaoya, I'm going back."
"Okay, sister-in-law, take care."
There was a light snow in the afternoon and it stopped in the evening.
This day.
Ji Wenhe stood at the gate of the courtyard, looking towards the hill to the east.
Shen Rongshan entered the mountain on the afternoon of the 2nd. Today is the 8th and he has not returned yet.
I didn't sleep well these past few nights. I couldn't help thinking about how he was injured in the mountains. I even dreamed that his neck was broken by a wolf.
They say dreams and reality are opposites. I hope he can come back unharmed.
After lunch, she wandered around the foot of the mountain.
He kept his head down and kicked the pebbles on the ground, and did not notice Zhu Danian coming over.
"Wen He, it's cold outside, why are you here?"
Ji Wenhe raised his head and said, "Uncle Danian, why don't you come over at noon? It's just right for you to come to my house for dinner."
"I only eat two meals a day. Where's Rongshan? Hasn't he come back yet?"
"No."
Seeing the worry on her face, he comforted her, "Rongshan is a man of measure. Don't worry. Go home and eat and sleep. He will come back safely."
"Yeah." Although he said that, he couldn't stop worrying in his heart.
Zhu Danian looked up at the mountain and said, "He should be back soon. Dahei and Erhei are following him. You should go home. It's cold. Don't catch a cold."
"Uncle Da Nian, come to my house and have a seat."
"No, I'm going back. Ask Yuanshan to let me know when he comes back."
"Hey."
Ji Wenhe stood at the foot of the mountain for a while, then turned around and went home.
at night.
I was half asleep when I heard a knock on the door. I woke up immediately. I hurriedly put on my cotton jacket, dragged my shoes, walked to the back of the door in the dark, and whispered, "Who is it?"
The two twins also followed behind the door, holding wooden sticks in their hands and getting ready.
"Wen He, it's me."
As soon as he finished speaking, two dogs barked at the door.
"It's brother!" Shen Yuanshan happily threw down the stick in his hand and walked forward to open the door.
The moonlight was dim, so I couldn’t make out the expression on his face, but I could make out his figure and outline.
"Brother, you are finally back. We were so worried."
Shen Wenshan lit the oil lamp, and the room suddenly became bright.
Ji Wenhe looked him up and down, his eyes bloodshot from not sleeping well due to staying up late.
There were several holes in the old cotton-padded jacket, and a few shallow bloodstains on his hands and face, but no major wounds, and I felt relieved.
Shen Rongshan looked at her and comforted her: "I'm fine, is there any water at home?"
"Yes, yes, yes, it's just cold. There's rice left in the pot. I'll go add some firewood to heat it up."
"Sister-in-law, I'm going." Shen Yuanshan ran into the kitchen.
Ji Wenhe patted the two dogs' heads, let them in, and closed the door, leaving only a small gap.
"Brother Shen, please sit down and take a rest. You must not have slept well these past few days. Have a good sleep after dinner."
Seeing this, Shen Wenshan opened the door and went out, then closed the door, leaving the two of them inside to talk.
Shen Rongshan sat on the bench and dodged her hand: "My hands are dirty, don't touch them."
"It's not dirty." She grabbed his hand firmly, looked at the wound on his hand, and choked up, "You are not injured, right? Don't hide it from me. If you are injured, let's ask a doctor to come and take a look."
"No."
He wanted to hold her in his arms to comfort her, but he remembered that he hadn't taken a bath for several days and his body was covered in blood, so he retracted his outstretched hand.
"Don't cry, I'm not hurt, I didn't lie to you, look, I'm back safely."
Ji Wenhe sniffed, raised his head, and stroked his cheek with his right hand: "Let's not go into the mountains if we can. I was worried that something might happen to you these past few days. I couldn't sleep well at night, and I couldn't eat well. I even lost several pounds."
The latter sentence is a joke.
Shen Rongshan laughed: "It's my fault. I made you worry. Eat more and we can make up for the lost weight."
"You've lost weight. Have you eaten all the cakes you brought? If I had known you'd be gone for so long, I should have made some more for you to take with you."
"That's all." He wrapped her hands in his palms. "I hunted a wild boar, it weighed more than 200 pounds. Master said he knows someone who can sell it for a good price."
"Master and I are going to town tomorrow morning. You stay at home and don't follow us."
"You can go the day after tomorrow. You've been walking for so long and come back. Look at your eyes. They're red and bloodshot. Get some sleep first."
Shen Rongshan shook his head slightly: "Go early and you can sell it for a good price. If you keep it at home for a long time, the buyer will lower the price."
Ji Wenhe didn't quite understand, but still followed his advice: "Then go to the town tomorrow morning to sell the wild boar, and then come back quickly and have a good sleep."
"it is good."
At this time, Shen Wenshan's voice rang out from outside the house: "Brother, the meal is ready. You eat first. The hot water will be ready in a while."
Two big black dogs were barking.
She asked, stroking their heads: "Be good, I left some food for you too, come on, I'll feed you."
I didn’t know when he would be back, so I cooked a lot of food every night.
After dinner, Shen Rongshan took a hot bath.
He lay down on the bed, held her in his arms, and patted her back gently: "Wen He, go to sleep. I've worried you these days."
"I'm glad you're back safely." Ji Wenhe raised his head and kissed his chin, "Brother Shen, go to sleep quickly. We have to go to town tomorrow."
There are some things they will have plenty of time to say later.
He responded, "Yeah, you too."
After a few seconds, the sound of gentle breathing came from above my head.
I raised my head slightly, but the room was too dark and I could only make out vague outlines.
She squeezed into his arms and said sweetly, "Good night."
Early the next morning.
When Ji Wenhe woke up, the person was gone. He reached out and touched the person, but there was no warmth left.
I put on my clothes and went out of the house. The sun was shining brightly today, but the wind was also a little strong.
Seeing Shen Yuanshan coming up from the mountain, he asked, "When did your brother leave?"
"It's almost half an hour, sister-in-law, let's eat. My brother said he would go early and come back early."
She nodded: "Well, I'll go to Aunt Li's house after dinner."
She and Lan Qiuhua learned a little embroidery, but although they could do it, they were not good enough.
But I learned sewing well, so I helped them sew the dolls, making as many as I could.
I returned home around noon. Not long after I got home, I was about to ask Shen Yuanshan whether he had returned, when Shen Rongshan followed me back.
