Chapter 93

"Sister, the weather is very good today. Why don't we go for a walk in the countryside? There is a forest in the west of the city. The forest is surrounded by a grassland. There are mountains and streams there. It is a rare and beautiful place." Lai Bao said to Poverty son mentioned
"Okay! Let's go! Then I'll prepare some food first, and you can ask your brother Tiedan'er to invite Chengzhe over." Poorer has been in a much better mood recently.

"Chengzhe is already here, and the food is ready. We just need to wait for you to pack up, and then we can set off," Lai Bao said

Outside the gate of Taixu Taoist Temple, Chengzhe hitched a carriage and was waiting there. Pao'er, Tiedan'er, and Laibao got on the carriage directly after they came out.

"I see you are a little tired," Tiedan'er said to Pao'er while sitting outside the carriage and opening the door curtain.

"I slept a little late last night, and I still have some unfinished sewing." The poor boy arrived.
"Then you go to sleep in the car first. I'll call you when you get there." Tiedan'er arrived.

"Sister, why are you working so hard? Let's wait until daytime to do the sewing. If you do it at night, you may hurt your eyes if you light the lamp." Chengzhe asked.
"It's almost time for us to go back. I'm thinking about making another cotton robe for my master. It's easy to wear when the weather is cold in winter. I don't want to be too dark. I'm always afraid of not being able to make it in time," said the poor man, leaning on the car.

"I want to go back with you this time," Chengzhe said while driving the car.
"Really?" Laibao was very happy, "But why?"

"Chenghe is getting married, and my mother asked me to go back to attend the wedding."

"Chenghe is getting married?" the other three people said in unison.
"What are you surprised about? At his age, he should have been a father."

"Why is it so sudden? Who did he marry?" Laibao asked.

"They say she is the daughter of the admiral of the capital. Her name is Sheng Rongwen. My mother is very satisfied with her." Chengzhe arrived.
"Are you satisfied with Brother Chenghe?" Laibao asked.

"I don't know, it didn't say anything in the letter."

"Poor, pauper! We are here." The pauper who fell asleep at some point was woken up by Tiedan'er.

Paoer opened his eyes and calmed down, "How long have I been asleep?"

"It's been a while, come on, come down." Tiedan'er stretched out his hand to help her
Pao'er got out of the car, and a cold wind blew. Pao'er couldn't help but shiver. The car was warmer, and she had just woken up. The temperature difference between here and outside made her a little unbearable, and she couldn't help shivering again. sneezed twice

"Put this on, be careful of catching a cold." Tiedan'er took off his coat and put it on the pauper.

"Aren't you cold?" Pao'er asked as he stretched out his clothes.

"When have you ever seen me cold?" Tiedan'er asked back

"That's true, you are born with strong firepower, and you are not afraid of the cold." Poor laughed

"This place..." The poor boy raised his eyes and looked around, and realized that this place looked so familiar.

There is a forest behind, a grassland at the foot, and a small courtyard under the hill in the distance. Mountain spring water flows through the courtyard to the stream outside the courtyard. Isn't this Tianxing's Taoyuan Residence?

"Huh? What's wrong? Isn't it nice here? Chengzhe and I found it when we were walking our horses." Tiedan'er arrived.

"It's very nice here..." Pao'er said as she walked towards Taoyuanju. The emotions that had dissipated over the past few days came out again. She tried so hard to forget. She thought she had given up, but it turned out that she was still too much. So naive, it turns out that her deception to herself was not successful.

"What's wrong with you? You don't look good..." Tiedan'er looked at her and felt something was wrong. "No... no..." Pao'er responded to his words, but stared straight at the yard. "Lai Bao and Where did Chengzhe go?”

"I don't know. Lai Bao ran away as soon as she got out of the car. Chengzhe went with her."

"Go and look for them. Don't let them run away." The poor boy arrived.
"You're not a kid anymore. You can run anywhere. You'll be back soon." Tiedan'er arrived.

"Go and look for them quickly. I'm hungry. I'll ask them to come back for something to eat," the poor boy urged.
Seeing that she insisted on asking him to look for her, Tiedan'er had no choice but to go.
The pauper came to the door of Taoyuanju alone and touched the familiar wooden door with his own hands. All the past events came to his mind, and he suddenly felt a twinge in his heart.

Just as she was looking at the wooden door, she suddenly heard a "squeak" and the door opened.

The pauper's hand was still in the air, just in time to touch the person coming out of the door.
Tian Xing looks even more haggard, his beard has not been trimmed for an unknown period of time, and he looks terrible.
"You..." Pao'er didn't expect to see him like this

Tian Xing was even more surprised. Who would have thought that the person he thought about day and night, loved and hated, would run into his arms like this? She was actually wearing a man's clothes. She was here to show off to him. ?Are you here to demonstrate?

"Tian Xing..." Pao'er didn't know what to say. She raised her face to face him full of anger. She didn't understand why he was so angry. She couldn't stay with him but couldn't even be friends?Why did she see hatred in his eyes?
Tian Xing grabbed her hand on his chest
"You hurt me...what's wrong with you?" Pao'er struggled to take his hand out.

"Who are you?" Tiedan'er happened to come back and asked.
When Tian Xing saw that it was the man holding the poor boy by the pond that day, he let go of his hand.
Pao'er was frightened by his anger and subconsciously hid behind Tiedan'er.
The man in front of her was tall, strong, dark-skinned, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He was only wearing a single piece of clothing. It turned out that they were so close that she didn't shy away from wearing this man's coat. She was holding on to this man desperately. The look of his arms showed that she really relied on him. The anger in Tian Xing's heart could not be suppressed at all.

"Poverty, who is he? Do you know him?" Tiedan'er asked
"Let's go, hurry up..." Pao'er has never seen Tian Xing like this, but he can feel his anger and just wants to leave quickly.
Tian Xing didn't expect that she hated him so much and just wanted to leave here quickly. She didn't even want to look at him again. Tian Xing took two steps forward, and Pao'er hurriedly hid behind Tiedan'er.

Tian Xing frowned, whistled, and his horse that was grazing and playing in the distance immediately galloped over. Tian Xing flew onto the horse, tightened the reins in his hands, glanced at Pao'er, and then rode away.

"What's going on? Can you tell me?" Tie Dan'er asked, looking at Tian Xing's back.
"I don't want to say..." Paoer walked towards the carriage in a daze.

"Is he the reason why you work so hard to wash your clothes? Is he mute?"

"Can you stop asking? It's annoying," Pao'er said. "Why is the carriage parked so far away? How did I get here?"

"Are you asking me?" Tiedan'er arrived

"Didn't you find them?"

"I don't know where they went. I was worried about you, so I came back first."

"I can't walk anymore, you carry me..." The pauper acted coquettishly
"How far is it and you can't walk anymore?"

"I've only been fine for the past two days. Don't mess with me... If you don't do it, I'll do the laundry when I go back and let my master take care of you."

"Only women and villains are difficult to raise..." Tiedan'er squatted down for a moment, and Pao'er jumped up and jumped on Tiedan'er's back.
"You have gained a lot of weight..."

"Shut up, don't talk..." Pao'er buried his face on Tiedan'er's back
Tiedan'er sighed and walked towards the carriage with her on his back. He didn't speak again for a long time.

In the woods in the distance, Tian Xing, who had not gone far, was sitting on his horse and saw all this...
