I farmed and built a villa in ancient times

Chapter 168

Zhou Wanqiu had a hearty meal with tears in her eyes.

After eating, everyone took a bath one after another and gathered around Zhou Chen's fish room to apply medicine to Zhou Wanqiu.

Li Xiuju sat with Zhou Wanqiu in the room. Zhou Chenyu pounded the medicine into powder and asked Baoyu to hold the oil lamp and illuminate her back to the room.

Zhou Chenyu put the medicine in Li Xiuju's hand, turned back to Baoyu and said, "Okay, this is none of your business, let's go."

Baoyu stared with dissatisfaction and strode into the room: "Sister, no, I want to see what they beat Sister Wanqiu to."

Why is this stupid boy so blind?

Zhou Chenyu rolled his eyes, "Your sister, Wan Qiu, is a girl with medicine on her back exposed. What does it mean for you, a grown man, to be here? Oh, you can't take a peek."

"I didn't, that's not what I meant." Baoyu was too anxious to say anything.

Zhou Wanqiu lay on the pillow, raised his head towards Baoyu, and smiled comfortingly: "Baoyu, please go back, I'm fine."

Li Xiuju glanced at the two sisters, tightened her clothes and stood up: "Chen Yu, late autumn will be left to you."

"Yes." Zhou Chenyu nodded and watched Li Xiuju take Baoyu out. Then he closed the door and sat next to Zhou Wanqiu, "Take off your clothes."

Zhou Wanqiu propped up his elbows and took off his clothes, revealing his back that was riddled with holes and devastation.

Zhou Chenyu moved the lamp closer to the bed, stirred up the dregs of the medicine, and applied it bit by bit on her back. He didn't hear Zhou Wanqiu's painful cry and raised his eyebrows:
"Your wound will probably heal in a few days, and all the scabs will fall off. Don't be too nervous."

"The injuries on my back are healed, but the wounds left behind." The person on the bed hesitated for a long time and then said, "Sister Chen Yu, my back must be ugly."

Ugly?

Zhou Chenyu saw the little girl Zhou Wanqiu's love for beauty and asked her:
"You also know that those scars are ugly? Since you are afraid that the wounds will be ugly, why didn't you hide away when your mother hit you? Are you stupid?"

"I..." Zhou Wanqiu lowered his head and admitted: "Sister Chen Yu, I am really stupid."

Zhou Chenyu looked at the person on the bed, pursed her lips and smiled, tucking the quilt around her body tightly to prevent the wind from getting in: "When we were beaten before, we just regarded it as a matter of course. If we encounter this kind of thing in the future, everything will be done. You have to think about yourself first. If you are not even afraid of death, what are you still afraid of?"

Zhou Wanqiu turned his head, looked at the beauty under the candle shadow, blinked, couldn't help but look at her twice more, and asked seriously: "Sister Chen Yu, if it were you, what would you do?"

What will she do?
Zhou Chenyu smiled coldly and poked the medicine residue hard, "If I were you, I would definitely fight back. Whoever doesn't make me unhappy, I will make them unhappy too. Anyway, let's say goodbye and finish playing together. .”

Zhou Wanqiu sneered and tilted his head, "Yes, I have seen how powerful my sister is."

Zhou Chenyu caught a glimpse of her smile and tapped her forehead with his index finger, "Why don't you learn more?"

Zhou Wanqiu looked at his scarred back, and the smile he had just retracted.

"Don't worry. These wounds are all on your back. You usually dress so conservatively that others can't see you. What are you afraid of? It's important to save your life." Zhou Chenyu calmly comforted her.But Zhou Wanqiu lowered his eyes, "I am mediocre and unlovable. If there are still large scars on my back, how will I get married in the future... in the future?"

Zhou Chenyu put down the medicine bowl and tied his hair behind his shoulders, revealing his sober and bright eyes, "Idiot, if that man really likes you, he won't hate your scars, but will accept everything about you. On the contrary, then It also means that he is not worthy of your love. However, whether a man likes your scars or dislikes your scars, these are secondary."

She chuckled, "The important thing is that we must love ourselves first and love ourselves."

"Love yourself." Zhou Wanqiu lowered her head and murmured these words, remembering them in her heart.

While the two sisters were talking, a gust of howling wind blew over, blowing open the originally closed window and slamming into the window coffin, causing a layer of ash to fall.

Zhou Chenyu watched the swaying lights swaying on the wall, hurriedly wrapped up his clothes and walked to the window, closed the open window again, and said to the person behind him:
"Okay, it's getting late, you should go to bed early."

Zhou Wanqiu felt a chill in her stretched-out arm. She looked to the opposite side and said, "Sister Chen Yu, it's cold outside. Your quilt is so thin, you'll definitely catch a cold. Why don't you come over and sleep together?"

Zhou Chenyu touched her quilt and found that it was a bit thin. She smiled and said, "Okay, let's sleep on the same bed. Maybe it will keep us warm."

Zhou Chenyu rolled up the quilt and covered it to the top before lying on the quilt. Zhou Wanqiu shivered, and she quickly kicked most of the quilt over her body, "Is it still cold like this?"

A warmth spread around him, and Zhou Wanqiu's smile rose in the night, feeling particularly reassured, "Sister Chen Yu, I'm not cold, I'm warm."

Zhou Chenyu couldn't help but yawned, "That's good, go to bed early."

This gust of wind caused the bamboo forest in the back mountain of Zhoujia Village to make a creaking sound, as if there were monsters and ghosts shaking the bamboo in the middle of the night, so that the withered and yellow bamboo leaves kept falling to the ground. Zhou Chenyu listened for a whole time. The sound of falling leaves in the evening.

In the past, Zhou Chenyu was under a lot of pressure at work and couldn't hear the noise outside the house at all. He would plug his ears with earplugs when sleeping to get a good night's sleep.

But the strange thing is that since she came here, listening to the movement outside nature does not feel uncomfortable, but it is particularly hypnotic.

When I woke up early the next morning, I heard the sound of the cold wind blowing the dead branches and leaves in the back mountain, and caught a glimpse of Zhou Wanqiu who was still sleeping soundly in bed. Zhou Chenyu slept soundly all night, as if he had been reborn.

Zhou Chenyu lifted the quilt and felt a biting chill hit his body. Was it winter?

She shook herself, quickly got dressed, closed the door, and walked outside the house.

Li Xiuju just came out of the kitchen and saw her shivering twice. She looked up at the gloomy sky and sighed: "The cold wind is passing by. It will be winter after today."

"It's really a bit cold." Zhou Chenyu couldn't bear the biting coldness, so he went back to the room and added an extra piece of clothing before coming out to wash up.

She walked to the well with a handkerchief and brought out a bucket of water. She thought the well water was still as warm as before, but her hands were soaked in the water and felt like they had been cut by a knife. She couldn't tell whether it was cold or painful. have to.

Li Xiuju came over with the dishes. Her wrists were all red from the cold. She still smiled softly and said, "Where are we now? You can't stand the coldness of early winter. In a month or two, what will happen?" Isn’t it more difficult?”
