Chapter 969 Xiao Tingchen, I want to go home

It is dusk.

The clouds gather in the sky, and the vast peach forest is like a sea of ​​pale pink flowers, reflecting the sparkling sunset.

In the depths of the peach grove, there are colorful falling flowers in front of the small house.

Bai Lu was cooking in the kitchen, the aroma of the rice overflowed from the stuffy rice cooker, there was an inexplicable sense of farmhouse warmth.

Su Jiu sat on a stone bench in the courtyard, holding a round fan, picked up a chess piece with his fine white fingertips, and slowly dropped it on the chessboard.

"Miss, is it interesting for you to play chess with yourself?" Shuang Jiang rested her chin on her hands and squatted on the ground curiously, "Besides, what's so interesting about this game of Go? You've been playing Go for more than half an hour, and the servant's eyes are blurred! "

Su Jiu picked up the tea and took a sip, "Is he back?"

"Master? You came back a long time ago. He sneaked in through the back door a quarter of an hour ago, and now he is hiding in the embroidery building and refuses to come out. You said that he is a big man. It doesn't matter if his hair is gray. You didn't have gray hair back then." Don't care about it? He looks like a little girl who hasn't left the cabinet, and the servants find it funny when they see it!"

Just come back...

Su Jiu was relieved, and subconsciously looked at Xiulou.

In the small wooden building with two floors, the central fan is tightly covered, and the man is probably hiding in the boudoir.

She had obviously been severely tortured by this man, but for some reason, seeing him like this made her both happy and distressed.

The evening wind blows everywhere, and the falling flowers are colorful.

Su Jiu coughed a few times overwhelmed by the wind and cold, and Shuang Jiang hurriedly got up and touched her forehead, "Ah, why is Miss's temperature getting higher and higher?"

Since it rained outside the Chonghua Palace seven or eight days ago, Su Jiu's body temperature has always been higher than that of ordinary people.

Although he didn't have much energy or appetite in the past few days, there was nothing serious about his body, so Su Jiu didn't care.

I just dragged and dragged, but I didn't expect that it seemed to drag the disease to a serious level...

Shuang Jiang was in a hurry, "Why don't the servants go to the Taolin to invite a doctor? What's going to happen if this goes on like this?"

"No problem." Su Jiu didn't care, "It's just a common cold, who hasn't had a high fever? Will it pass if you bear it?"

Dinner is already cooked.

Su Jiu ate a little, took a food box to fill a lot, and went up to the Xiulou personally to deliver food to Xiao Tingchen.

The sky was completely dark, Gu Yu and Jing Zhe were busy lighting the lanterns under the eaves, and the radiant fire illuminated the small courtyard of this deep house.

Su Jiu stood under the eaves and knocked on the door, "Xiao Tingchen, I've brought you food, please open the door."

There was no light in the bedroom.

The man sat on the grand master's chair with a big sword and a golden horse, with a handsome and tall silhouette, and a sinister and handsome profile.

It's just that the long hair hanging down her waist has already completely turned into snow white.

The bronze mirror was shattered all over the floor, and even the water basin was thrown in the corner, causing water stains everywhere.

He bowed his head, his face hidden in the darkness.

Hearing the knock on the door, his hands on his lap clenched into fists unnaturally.

"Xiao Tingchen? Are you there, Xiao Tingchen?"

The girl's voice was soft and clean, always sweet to his ears.

"Xiao Tingchen, open the door quickly, you won't have dinner? The food is going to be cold!"

She called again and again, as if she would not leave as long as he did not go out.

"Women are annoying sometimes..." Xiao Tingchen tugged at the neckline impatiently, and raised his voice, "He's not here, stop shouting!"

After a pause outside the house, the woman actually laughed, "So please tell him, I left the food box at the door, and asked him to bring it into the house to eat when he comes back."

The light embroidered shoes sounded, and the woman walked away.

Xiao Tingchen rubbed his cheeks, frowned and walked behind the door.

Quietly opening a crack in the door, he glanced at the corridor, and saw that no one bent down to pick up the food box behind the threshold.

Just as he was about to close the door, a thin white hand suddenly held onto the door frame.

Su Jiu raised his head, and the man's long snow-white hair came into view.

He has white hair and a childlike face, and his dark peach eyes are full of panic, like a teenager who has made a big mistake.

He hugged the food box and turned around, with anger and anxiety in his voice, "I just told you to put the things away, why don't you listen to me?! Do you have to witness my embarrassment with your own eyes before you give up?" ?!"

Saying so, he lowered his eyes in embarrassment.

As long as Su Jiu is not around, then he doesn't have to care about his appearance.

But this woman is here, beside him...

He only wants her to see his strength and beauty, how can he let her see his embarrassment?
He is afraid...

I'm afraid to see disgust in her eyes...

Even if people hate dogs, I don't want her to tire of herself.

Su Jiu stepped across the threshold.

She hooked a strand of white hair with her fingertips, and said softly: "I have also turned gray before, but what does that matter? I am still me, Su Jiu, and nothing will change because of white hair. Don't you At that time, would you dislike me because of my gray hair? Since you don't dislike me, how can I dislike you today?"

The lantern light came in from outside faintly.

The two were in the dark, and the wind through the corridor made the surroundings even more silent, so quiet that they could hear each other's heartbeat.

Xiao Tingchen still turned his back to her, "That's different..."

Su wine is very special and important to him.

It doesn't matter even if her hair turns into snow, it doesn't matter even if she is disfigured, it doesn't matter even if she lacks arms and legs!
In his eyes, she was always that clean little girl.

He will love her and pet her as before, and he will even love her and pet her even more than before!
but……

But the one who has become ugly now is Xiao Tingchen.

How can this be the same?

The peach blossom eyes were complicated and obscure, and he was at a loss when a pair of small hands suddenly hugged him gently from behind.

Su Jiu's small face was pressed against his back, and he closed his eyes tiredly, "Xiao Tingchen, I have experienced a lot this year... When I was a princess, I fought with Su Tang, and when I was an empress, I fought wits with courtiers... I Actually quite tired. Xiao Tingchen, I want to go home, can you take me home..."

The girl's soft voice gradually weakened.

Xiao Tingchen turned around slowly, Su Jiu lost his support, his knees gave way and fell to the ground.

He took advantage of the opportunity to hold her slender waist.

The bright moon comes out of Xiu, and the moonlight on the embroidered building is like water.

The breeze blows the man's long snow-white hair, and the black cloak outlines a tall and tall figure. In the depths of this peach forest, there is a kind of dreamlike beauty, just like the Penglai cyclist in the mountains.

Su Jiu stretched out his hand to cover his cheek, his voice was weak due to the high fever, "It's pretty..."

He has always been good-looking since he was a child.

Xiao Tingchen was silent.

The girl sighed softly and closed her eyes wearily.

While Su Jiu was convalescing, Wu Song led his men to search the Peach Blossom Valley, but in the end they failed to find Tao Shiniang's private possession, but found a strange peach blossom tree.

The peach blossom tree is huge and majestic, enough for three people to embrace.

The peach branches are bare without flowers and leaves, only countless blood-red poisonous snakes are entwined, which looks extremely mysterious and dangerous.

Wearing a black robe, Xiao Tingchen stood under the tree with his hands behind his back, suddenly remembering the peach blossom he snatched from Tao Shiniang.
