Chapter 047 Collection
Just when he was full of confidence and encouraged himself, he was startled by the sudden raindrops.
The raindrops hit the rice paper, scattering the ink and making some words blurry.
When I raised my head, I saw that the sky had been clear for a while, but then it became gloomy again.
There was a big cloud above my head, pitch black, and it looked like it held a lot of water.
I quickly folded the paper and wrapped it with a layer of oilcloth. After checking that there were no gaps, I stuffed it into my arms and put it away.
By this time, the raindrops had become denser.
She quickly wrapped the brush and ink in another piece of oilcloth, put it in her sleeves, and went to find shelter in the rain.
The picture was clean, and I chose a place with few people, and only then did I realize that something bad had happened.
While jogging along, I almost bumped into people who were rushing to take shelter from the rain, and I narrowly avoided them several times.
Fortunately, we still found a place with a large eaves to take shelter.
My body was soaked by the rain.
I regret that I never thought of buying an umbrella.
Mistakes.
Water was dripping from her hair, but she couldn't care less.
I took out the paper and checked carefully to make sure it was not wet, then I breathed a sigh of relief.
I also took out the brush and ink, and some of the ink stained my clothes. With the help of the rain, a large area of my body became black.
However, the paper didn't get wet and the ink didn't get wet. It was a blessing among misfortunes.
As a human being, you can't ask for too much.
I was struggling to wring out my clothes, twist my hair, and wipe my eyes when I saw a blurry figure appearing in the rain curtain.
Wearing a crow-green gown, he was walking quickly in the rain. He was said to be walking fast, but his steps were light and not chaotic.
It looks very beautiful.
Paired with the antique background buildings, it reminded her of a picture of a handsome man walking in the rain.
It's a pity that her painting skills are not good and she can't draw one ten thousandth of it.
Just as he was shaking his head in regret, watching the man in long gown go away, he suddenly saw the blurry figure being knocked to the ground.
There were also hurried walkers passing by who did not offer any help, but continued to run on the man in the long gown.
In my ears I could hear the screams and calls for help from the man in a long gown.
Inexplicably, a surge of anger rose from the bottom of her heart. She put the two packages of things wrapped in oilcloth into her arms and sleeves respectively, and rushed out in the rain.
As I got closer, I realized that it was not that those people couldn't see the people falling on the ground, but it was as if they were stepping on them intentionally.
Seeing that a passer-by refused to walk on the wide road and stepped on him, Zhou Xiaomeng raised her hand and pushed him out.
The man fell to the ground, struggled to get up, and angrily tried to argue.
Zhou Xiaomeng glared hard at him, and perhaps he felt fear in his heart, so he cursed and left.
Zhou Xiaomeng helped the man in a long gown up and helped him to take shelter under the eaves.
The man in the long gown was stepped on several times on his body, arms and hands, and the skin on his hands was broken and there were blood stains.
He seemed to feel aggrieved and kept his head down, not daring to look at anyone. There was only a gentle shaking of his shoulders and a slight twitching sound from his nose.
After a long time, a soft thank you came.
"Thank you so much, my benefactor, thank you so much, Yun, Yunxi, Yunxi, thank you so much, my benefactor."
Yunxi?
Zhou Xiaomeng's ears tipped out, and she spelled out a name from the intermittent voice. Then her heart tightened, and she stepped forward to hold his shaking shoulders, and gently raised his chin.
Astonished.
"It is indeed Yunxi."
Yun Xi didn't know what she was going to do, so he was forced to raise his chin, but his eyes dodge. He didn't dare to focus until he heard her shouting, but he didn't expect it.
"Well, benefactor."
"My name is Zhou Xiaomeng. Just call me Xiaomeng. Don't always be my benefactor. I am my benefactor."
Zhou Xiaomeng took the initiative to smile at him and introduced herself. Since they were acquaintances, they didn't have to be so defensive.
I picked up his broken hand and touched it. It seemed to hurt him, and I heard him take a suppressed breath.
"Does it hurt you?"
"No, it doesn't hurt."
Yunxi dodged and secretly took out his hand, feeling very upset.
I have been looking forward to seeing each other again, but I didn't expect such a scene again.
Being seen and not wanting to be seen made Yun Xi's expectation and excitement slightly dampened.
But I was still so excited that I couldn't contain myself.
Especially when the other person cared about him and held his hand, but the inferiority complex in his heart made him feel helpless and lost.
He could only carefully hide his sincerity, not to be discovered, so as not to be disliked by others, and even this sustenance was gone.
"What's wrong with you?" Zhou Xiaomeng was keenly aware of the other person's strangeness, and then remembered the bad intentions of those people, so she couldn't help but change her face and angrily yelled, "These people are really too bad."
"Well, I, I'm used to it."
His voice was as low as a mosquito, and by the end he could barely hear himself.
But Zhou Xiaomeng guessed it keenly.
Why do you say you are used to it?
Have a bad time?
But those people are not the thugs from Zuihonglou?
Or is there any other reason?
But Yunxi didn't seem to want to mention it. Even if she knew, she might not be able to help, but she still wanted to know.
But she is not willing to do things that are difficult for others.
After all, even if she helped him twice, she didn't have the right to pry into people's privacy or reveal their scars.
Even though I didn't speak, I always felt a little strangely embarrassed.
I had to choose some innocuous words to say.
How are you doing lately?
How are the conditions of him and the young master named Qingning?
They were all answered with a faint "hmm".
She felt that he seemed to be afraid of her.
Although I am not good-looking, I am not evil-looking, right?
Could it be that I taught people a lesson last time and scared them?
Although I wasn't afraid at the time, I felt a bit afraid of her when I thought about it afterwards.
If so, then she really has no choice.
I can only blame the men in this world for being too cowardly.
And suddenly I felt that the boldness of the reckless man in my family was really a breath of fresh air in this world.
Pooh.
Thinking about that guy properly is not enough to turn off your appetite.
Fortunately, the rain subsided a little, so she took the initiative to say goodbye.
"I have to go home in a hurry, otherwise the husbands at home will be anxious."
Hearing this, Yun Xi's face flashed with disappointment, and he was stunned for a moment. When she was about to pass him by, he seemed to have made a quick decision and hurriedly took her hand.
The voice was also anxious and firm.
"My benefactor, the medical expenses you advanced for us last time, the money to rent a house, and the things you sent us were also given by our benefactor, and we must return them to our benefactor.
I don’t have it with me at the moment, my benefactor, please go back with me to get it.”
As he spoke, he secretly let go of his hand, but wrung his hands hard at the clothes that were already wet and disfigured, making the outline of his body visible. He gritted his teeth secretly, raised his head, and his eyes were full of crystal tears.
As long as you look carefully, you can taste some of the anticipation and shyness, and the rest, which is probably something that you can't explain.
It's a pity that Ma Daha like Zhou Xiaomeng is not someone who can taste these in a short period of time.
But she still didn't refuse.
After all, she now wants to start a business and needs money urgently.
On the way, she also recalled that the medical expenses she had paid in advance at that time were six taels, the rented house was ten taels, and the things she bought were twenty taels in total.
Originally, buying things was a way of showing love, but now that people know about it and want to give it, she won't refuse.
After all, her money didn't come from strong winds, and it's not easy to support five husbands at home.
In fact, she originally planned to look for him after a while.
It saves trouble.
Although I feel sorry for their situation, it is said that it is not bad to be an oiran in a place like that.
Du Shiniang's treasure chest was said to be priceless.
