Doctor Xianggong, the goddess of poisonous belly

Chapter 56

Since Si Jixia had already returned home, it was impossible to climb back to the courtyard from the high wall of Jiyao's backyard because of the winter warmth. She had no choice but to go back through the side door. The time since she came out of King Yi's mansion so as not to make Si Jixia suspicious.

Although the servant guarding the side gate didn't know where Dong Nuan came from, he didn't dare to stop her as if he saw some terrible person, for fear that she would surprise her with the silver hairpin on her head again. When they reached their throats, they dared to respectfully invite her in.

Dongnuan returned to Jiyao and it was past You Hour, and the sky was getting dark.

Si Jixia was silent in Jiyao, so he instinctively told Dong Nuan that he was in the backyard, and Dong Nuan thought of the hemp rope still tied to the banyan tree, so he hurriedly strode towards the back yard.

Si Jixia was nowhere to be seen in the backyard, only the chimney on the top of the kitchen was emitting smoke, presumably he was busy in the kitchen, so Dongnuan strode to the banyan tree next to the old well.

However, when she looked up at the top banyan tree with luxuriant branches and leaves like a canopy, she only felt her temples twitch because——

The hemp rope tied to the trunk when she went out during the day was not seen on the tree.

Dong Nuan felt very bad in his heart, at this moment, there seemed to be footsteps in the courtyard, and it was Si Jixia who came out of the kitchen.

When Dong Nuan heard the sound of footsteps, he immediately moved away from the banyan tree and the old well, pretending that he had just returned from the outside and was heading for the kitchen. Si Jixia was holding a wooden bucket in his hand, seeing Dong Nuan, he felt neither strange nor anything In doubt, Wen Wen said indifferently: "Miss Ah Nuan is back, I'm already cooking, it will be ready soon, Miss Ah Nuan can go to the front room and wait."

After Si Jixia finished speaking, he walked to the old well by himself. Perhaps it was because of Dong Nuan's presence that made him feel uncomfortable. His movements of shaking the pulley were extremely slow, and Dong Nuan could see his discomfort. Free, so he turned and went back to the small building.

When she turned around and took only a few steps, she could clearly hear the sound of the pulley behind her shaking much, much faster than before.

She paused, but in the end she didn't look back at Si Jixia, but walked back to the small building.

The meals are still brought by Si Jixia in the food box and brought to the house for winter warmth. These days, every meal is like this, and the water for bathing is also carried by him for her, even though he carries it every time. It was quite strenuous, but he never asked for help from Dongnuan, as if it was something he had to do.

Si Jixia still didn't ask Dong Nuangu any questions, not even a questioning look in his eyes.

I was still thinking about the hemp rope when I took a bath because of the warm winter.

It was late at night, and when Dong Nuan was about to turn off the lights and go to bed, there was a knock on the door, accompanied by Si Jixia's voice, "Miss Ah Nuan, have you gone to sleep?"

Dongnuan paused when she picked up the lampstand, and the light of the fire danced in her eyes.

Dongnuan opened the door, and Si Jixia was standing outside. His long hair was untied and untied, just hanging casually on his shoulders and behind him. It was a bit rough. Under the loosely tied cloak, his thin inner skirt was exposed. It was not difficult to see that he had fallen asleep and got up again.

Dong Nuangu looked at him quietly, but there was something inquiring in the depths of his eyes, what was worth telling her when he woke up after falling asleep?Could it be that he really discovered something today?
This was the first time he took the initiative to face her except for the daily meeting with her. If it hadn't been something he had to say, she didn't think this man who never looked at her would take the initiative to come to her.

Dong Nuan's calm face made Si Jixia feel extremely uncomfortable, and his body froze in disappointment. When he saw Dong Nuan's face in front of him, he didn't know how to speak. At this moment Dong Nuan so smiled at him, and turned his body to signal for him to come in if he had something to say, but Si Jixia shook his head slightly, "No, it's late at night, it's inconvenient to go in and disturb Miss A Nuan, so I'm here Just talk to Miss Ah Nuan."

Dong Nuangu looked at his dark eyes like Mokong, and nodded.

But Si Jixia fell silent at this moment, Dong Nuan didn't hurry to urge him to speak quickly, but just waited quietly, after a while, he heard him speak a little lightly, the voice made people feel that he was a little bit Nervous, "Tomorrow... I need to go out of the house, the time will be earlier, and I will go out around Mao."

Dong Nuan didn't think there was anything wrong with him going out of the house, but it was earlier. Seeing that he came to talk to her on his own initiative and seemed quite nervous this evening, she could only think of one thing.

So, after Si Jixia's words fell, Dongnuan took his hand and wrote "wait a moment" in his palm, then turned back to the room and took out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone from the cabinet in the corner of the room against the wall, After walking to the round table in the room, he spread the paper flat on the table, dipped a pen in ink and wrote a line of words.

Standing outside the threshold, Si Jixia looked at Dong Nuan Gu who was bowing down and writing on the rice paper on the table, hesitantly, and then stepped forward, stepped across the threshold and walked to Dong Nuan Gu's side.

It just so happened that Dong Nuan was closing his pen and looked up at him, while Si Jixia looked down at the words on the rice paper, the neat and beautiful handwriting was just like hers, and there was something written on the paper: "But I need you to help me Take care of the flowers and plants in your house and yard?"

Dong Nuan felt that every plant and tree in this yard was his treasure, and what he had to do every morning was to take care of them besides cooking. He would have no time to take care of them when he went out tomorrow. The flowers and plants are gone, I think he came to her specially tonight because of this matter.

Unexpectedly, Si Jixia shook his head slightly when he saw the words written by Dong Nuan Gu, which made Dong Nuan Gu unable to think of a second thing that made him fall asleep and get up again to tell her, Then he picked up a pen and wrote on the paper: "Why did the young master seek me late at night?"

He called her "Miss", and she also called him "Young Master". When Si Jixia saw the word "Young Master", the light in Si Jixia's eyes turned cold and then darkened, and he remained silent before saying: "I'm bothering you late at night." Miss Ah Nuan is really sorry, it's not that I want to trouble Miss Ah Nuan to take care of the vegetation in the courtyard for me, it's really..."

Si Jixia paused, Dongnuangu's eyes were still locked on his face, but he lowered his eyes slightly, and then said: "I really came here specifically to ask Miss Ah Nuan if she would like to go out with me tomorrow, because I'm going out this time. I will be back in the next day, Fuchu..."

However, before Si Jixia could finish his words, Dong Nuangu had already picked up a pen and wrote the word "good" on the paper without hesitation. At this moment, what Si Jixia hadn't finished speaking had no meaning to continue. Slightly startled.

Didn't she ask him what he was going to do after leaving the house for ten days?Didn't you ask him why he went out and why he wanted her to go with him?
Si Jixia raised his eyes again to look at Dong Nuangu, and saw that she raised the corners of her mouth slightly, as if she was very happy to walk with him this time, that light and shallow smile was like the fragrance on her body. , but it always makes his heart beat a little faster, a little... dare not look directly.
