pastoral fragrance

Chapter 345
Sure enough, as Xia Yan expected, early the next morning, Qiu Lin was still drowsy listening to the murmuring rain outside.After waking up, Qiulin checked his injuries. Today, his ankle is swollen more and more, and it may take some time to heal.

She limped to the window, pushed open a wooden window, and the cold wind and fine autumn rain blew in along the window.The cool wind felt a little chilly on his body, Qiu Lin couldn't help shivering, and goose bumps appeared on the back of his hands.

In the quiet morning, misty mist shrouded not far away, and it seemed that only this milky white was left in the world.The fields, trees, and houses not far away are particularly hazy in this misty fog.After watching for a while, Qiulin felt his body getting colder and colder.Only then did I close the window and sit on the edge of the bed to put on my clothes.

This autumn rain came up at once, but it was out of control.It went down for several days in a row, almost without stopping in the middle.

During this time, Qiulin stayed in the house obediently, took a needle and thread, and began to sew clothes.Three days later, the clothes Qiu Lin made for Xia Yan were finally sewn, and a hole was made at the neckline, and the cotton was stuffed in through it.Press the cotton flat, and then sew the opening, a beautiful winter coat is freshly out of the oven.

After eating at noon that day, Qiu Lin stood by the door and waited for Xia Yan to come and see her wound.After waiting for about half an hour, in the smoky rain, I finally saw a slender figure walking slowly through the milky white mist holding an oil-paper umbrella.He was wearing a blue robe, which seemed to be stained with the color of fog, and he looked hazy and unreal.

When someone approached, the previously indistinct face seemed to suddenly jump out of the mist, and the handsome and handsome face like a lotus emerging from water gradually became clear.Seeing the person coming, Qiu Lin's eyes turned, and there was some sparkle in the black eyes like grapes, showing joy.

"Brother Xia Yan." Xia Yan just walked to the door of Qiulin's house, when he heard a clear voice calling from the yard.Looking up, I saw that there was an extra head in front of the door of the main room at this moment, looking at him with a smile like a flower.When Xia Yan saw Qiu Lin who was smiling like a flower, he felt a trickle of warm current flowing slowly in his heart.He responded with a smile, pushed the door open and entered.

Seeing that Xia Yan had come under the eaves at this moment, he put away the oil-paper umbrella, put it outside the main room, and stepped straight into the main room.

At this moment, Qiu Lin brought over the winter clothes that he had just made for Xia Yan as if offering a treasure, and said with a smile, "Brother Xia Yan, this is a jacket made for you, try it on and see if it fits you well." Lin took the newly made clothes and gesticulated on Xia Yan's body, it looked pretty good.It's just that no specific effect can be seen, so Qiu Lin simply peeled off the buttons on the clothes and put them on for Xia Yan.

Seeing this, Xia Yan couldn't refuse, so he had to put on his winter clothes.He had come from the entrance of the village and was feeling hot, but now that he was wearing winter clothes, he was even hotter.However, in the face of Qiu Lin who was full of interest, he had no choice but to endure it.

After fastening the buttons for Xia Yan, Qiu Lin stood on the spot and took a closer look.The clothes fit just right, and it didn't look too bulky on Xia Yan's body. The orchid grass embroidered on the chest and hem made him look like jade.Qiulin thinks that Xia Yan is a natural clothes hanger, she looks good in any clothes.After looking at it for a while, Qiulin finally exclaimed, "It's beautiful!"

Xia Yan laughed and joked, "Are you talking about clothes, or people?"

Qiulin chuckled, and said angrily, "I won't tell you." After speaking, he went to unbutton the clothes. After all, the clothes are only worn in winter, and Xia Yan might be too hot to wear them.

After putting away the clothes, Xia Yan asked Qiu Lin to sit down. Now Xia Yan squatted down to check Qiu Lin's ankle.After these few days of recuperation, the scratch on Qiulin's ankle has almost healed, and the swelling has subsided. It seems that it will be healed in a few days. "Well, after a while of recuperation, I will be able to live like usual."

After Xia Yan took care of Qiulin's illness, she didn't leave in a hurry, watching Qiulin measure the size of the fabric with a soft ruler.The color of this piece of cloth is a relatively deep purple, and judging from the measurement, it is quite large, it seems that it is used to make clothes for her father.Xia Yan stayed on the sidelines and watched Qiulin busy, and couldn't help but think that it was probably the same when Qiulin made clothes for him.

The fabric used for the new clothes that Qiu Lin made for him was bought by the two of them when they went shopping together a few days ago, and it took only a few days before and after. I believe this dress is the first one Qiu Lin made.Xia Yan's heart warmed up, and the gaze he looked at Qiu Lin became more lingering and soft.

"Qiu Lin, are you at home?" The room was quiet at the moment, only the pattering rain outside could be heard in their ears.At this moment, I heard a crisp voice coming into the house from outside the yard.

Qiulin acted cleverly and carefully distinguished the familiar voice.It's Qiuhuai!Qiu Lin put down the scissors and came down to the entrance of the main room with Xia Yan's support. Looking through the rain curtain in the yard, he happened to see a man and a woman standing at the entrance of the yard, each holding an umbrella.The man was only in his twenties, tall and handsome, quite eye-catching.The woman looked to be about the same age as the man, with a slender waist and a delicate appearance.That man is the steward of the workshop.Qiu Lin was puzzled, why did Liu Ruixue and Qiu Huai get together?

At this moment, Xiaoqing saw Guanshi Liu standing outside with his niece, so she hurriedly put down her embroidery work and went to open the door. "Miss Tang, Manager Liu, it's still raining, why are you here? Come in quickly." Leading Qiuhuai and Liu Ruixue to the eaves, Xiaoqing put the umbrellas they had collected at the door of the main room, and led Then the two went into the house.

"Cousin, Guanshi Liu, why are you here today?" Qiu Lin looked at the two people who entered the room together, blinked his eyes, and there was an ambiguous atmosphere in his words and expressions.

Qiuhuai ignored the ambiguity in Qiulin's tone, and smiled slightly: "Guan Liu came to the village to find you on purpose, because he didn't know the way, so he went to our house to ask, I thought you hurt your foot, I wanted to come and have a look, so I brought him here along the way."

When Qiulin heard the words, she knew in her heart that this was the case.

At this moment, Liu Ruixue hurriedly stepped forward and said to Qiulin: "Little boss, can you send someone to deliver the lotus leaf chicken to the workshop today?"

Qiulin was a little confused by Liu Ruixue's question, "Isn't this delivered every day? Could something have happened?" Seeing Liu Ruixue's anxious expression, Qiulin suddenly had a bad feeling.

Liu Ruixue said solemnly: "Today, I haven't seen anyone bringing lotus leaf chicken to the workshop for a long time, and I haven't seen anyone until noon. Everything in the workshop is sold out, so I came here to ask." Since someone Send the lotus leaf chicken there, but there is no one in the workshop, then there must be an accident on the way!
Qiulin's complexion also sank. Heizi and Maozi took turns to deliver the lotus leaf chicken to the town every day, and there was never any problem.This time... Qiulin couldn't calm down and asked, "Guan Liu, did you find anything unusual on both sides of the road on the way you came from the town?" Since they set off from the village early in the morning, Come on, it should have happened on the road. "Who is delivering the goods today?" The life and death of the person who delivered the lotus-leaf chicken is uncertain, and Qiu Lin's heart is heavy, as if a heavy burden is weighing on his heart.

Xiaoqing's face had turned as pale as paper at this moment, and she murmured in a trembling voice: "It's... my elder brother." Listening to Miss Si's conversation with Guanshi Liu, Xiaoqing was frightened out of her wits.According to what they said, her elder brother must be in danger!
Seeing Xiaoqing's flustered and pale face, Qiulin knew that she was quite frightened.He hurriedly comforted Xiaoqing: "Don't be like this, let's go find your brother right away, and it will be fine!" Although Qiulin comforted Xiaoqing like this, there was an uproar in her heart. Thinking of a certain possibility, her There was darkness in front of her eyes, and she was almost a little helpless.

Listening to Qiulin's comfort, Xiaoqing faintly felt a glimmer of hope in her heart, but the tears flowed out like a flood that had been vented.Xiaoqing murmured: "I'm going to find my brother, I'm going to find my brother..." As she spoke, she turned around and ran towards the rain curtain in the yard without her umbrella.

Seeing this, Qiulin was very worried, and hurriedly said, "Let's look for it along the road from the village to the town, and we will definitely leave some clues!" The most urgent task is to find Maozi.Qiulin prayed secretly in his heart, don't make any mistakes!
Now is the slack season, the Qiulin family only left Xu Nanshan at home to look after the house and the two families guarding the slope. The rest of the servants and tenants all held umbrellas and searched carefully along the road from the village to the town. .

"Look, there are traces of wheels sliding here!" At this moment, a loud voice suddenly called out from among the silent crowd.When everyone heard this, Qiqi turned their eyes sideways and leaned towards the wheel seal.

I saw that the wheel mark was on the edge of the road, and the car mark on the side was very deep, and the car mark was sunk in the mud for a foot deep.Looking at the deep and long wheel marks, everyone can think about the thrilling scene before.Following the wheel marks, everyone looked towards the side of the road. Below this road, there happened to be the Luoshui River.

Seeing the turbulent flow of the river, everyone couldn't help but gasp. In such a turbulent river, if a person falls, they probably won't even be able to catch their bones.

Maozi's mother, Mrs. Cao, was terrified when she saw this, and knelt on the ground in pain and howled loudly. "Son, my son..." Cao wailed for a while, before everyone had time to persuade her, her voice choked suddenly, she rolled her eyes, and fainted like that, and fell to the ground.

Maozi's younger brothers and sisters were still wailing at the moment. Seeing that his mother had fainted, they felt extremely uncomfortable, and their tears fell like broken rain...
