That touch of tenderness

Xian'er left, Xia Shang breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if all the strength in his body had been drained, and he sat weakly in the rain.

To be precise, Xia Shang could not confirm whether the woman just now was Miss Xian'er. Because Yichunyuan had never seriously looked at Xian'er's appearance that day, either her face was blocked or it was a fleeting glimpse. The only chance to see her for a long time was when Xian'er and Xia Shang looked at each other for two seconds when she jumped out of the window regardless of her life.

But at that time, Xia Shang was seriously injured and had no time to look at other things when he was in the air, so he had no deep impression of Xian'er's appearance.

Since the person was gone, there was no need to think about it anymore.

Xia Shang regained his spirits and hurriedly turned around to walk in front of Qin Huairou. He saw that the other party's pretty face was pale, without the slightest blood color, and her lips were still a little dark blue. In the rain, she looked like an eggplant hit by frost and had no life at all.

"Huairou, you...what's wrong with you? It's all my fault. If I hadn't distracted you, you..."

Qin Huairou looked at Xia Shang. Although her complexion was bad, her eyes were much softer than usual, and she seemed to have a different kind of emotion.

"Husband...husband, I'm sorry."

An inexplicable "I'm sorry" made Qin Huairou lower her head in guilt.

"Madam, you got hurt while saving me, how can you be sorry?"

"I..." Qin Huairou wanted to say something, but her blood and qi were in disarray, and she immediately coughed.

Xia Shang was heartbroken and hurriedly helped his wife up, sighing softly: "Hey, let's not talk about it first. Let's go to the clinic."

The rain was still falling, and the two of them were soaked by the rain. Every house on the long street was closed, and there was no one in sight. Only the falling peach petals from an unknown family were accompanied, but at this moment they were also washed to both sides of the street by the rain.

"Gee! Gee!"

In the distance, an old horse pulled a dilapidated carriage and rushed over. From a distance, one could see Zhongbo's anxious expression under his bamboo hat.

After Zhongbo sent Qin Huairou to Yangzhou City, he waited outside the East City as usual. Today, he came to find her because the rain was getting heavier and heavier. Neither the lady nor the young master brought an umbrella, so he drove to the city to find her.

Zhongbo went to many places and finally found her. But he didn't expect that the lady was injured and looked very bad.

Zhongbo came at the right time, and Xia Shang didn't explain much.

Get in the car and go to the nearby clinic first.

Huichuntang is the most famous clinic closest to Meihua Street. The doctor is known for his "miracle of rejuvenation" and is well-known far and wide.

When Xia Shang saw the doctor, his request was very simple, everything should be the best, and then he took a gold ingot.

The doctor was not a saint, and seeing the gold made him more motivated. He took Qin Huairou's pulse, and after a simple examination, he prescribed some medicine and asked the medicine boy to take the three to the inner courtyard guest room to rest.

When the three arrived at the guest room, a brazier had been prepared for the three to warm themselves, and the doctor's wife also sent a few clean clothes.

After a simple tidying up, the doctor and the medicine boy came with the boiled medicine.

Qin Huairou was lying on the bed to rest, and her complexion was a little better than before. The medicine boy carefully helped her up and fed her medicine in small sips.

The doctor smiled and gave Xia Shang a bowl of ginger soup, constantly comforting Xia Shang, saying that his wife's injury was not serious, and she would recover as long as she took the medicine according to the prescription for a few days.

After listening to the doctor's words, Xia Shang was really relieved.

After resting for two hours in the clinic, Qin Huairou was able to move normally.

When leaving the clinic, the doctor brought a lot of precious medicinal materials such as ginseng and ganoderma lucidum, saying that they were to make up for the medical expenses of fifty taels of gold.

Xia Shang didn't say much and put them all in the carriage.

When leaving, the rain continued, but it was much lighter than before.

This rain seemed to wash the entire Jiangnan thoroughly, whether it was the attic bungalows or the streets and alleys, everything was brand new. The whole Yangzhou city has never been so quiet, and Xia Shang looked comfortable in the carriage.

Thinking back to what happened today, Xia Shang felt a little guilty. Although he was not in danger as the hexagram showed, he made his wife suffer. In the future, he should not have this mentality of acting according to the hexagram. Everything must be based on materialistic thinking.

Xia Shang was a little absent-minded while thinking, and suddenly felt a soft body leaning on his shoulder, and then a pair of small hands gently held his palm, as gentle as taking care of a baby.

Xia Shang turned his head and saw his wife leaning against him peacefully. Although her face was still a little pale, she smiled, her eyes were slightly narrowed, and small dimples appeared on her cheeks, which made her look very comfortable.

This small action made Xia Shang feel warm in his heart. This was the tenderness that Huairou had never had before. This was the reward for risking his life. Although it was not a vow of love, this little tenderness and warmth was touching and comforting. Perhaps this was the most real life.

Looking at his tall and sexy wife leaning against him like a kitten, Xia Shang felt that his previous impulse was really worth it.

At the same time, he also felt that ancient women were so cute. As long as you were a little bit good to her, she would give you everything.

This scarred kitten was being healed little by little by true love. What could be more comforting than this?

A feeling of love surged in his heart. Xia Shang lowered his head to Huairou's hair, sniffed the fragrance, and gave her a kiss.

"Master, the situation is not very good!"

Zhong Bo suddenly lifted the door curtain and saw the young couple snuggling together and enjoying the sweetness.

Qin Huairou was thin-skinned, so she quickly stood up and straightened her clothes. She didn't know where to look.

Xia Shang coughed lightly, pretending that nothing happened, and asked in a low voice: "Zhong Bo, what's the matter?"

"I just heard that the heavy rain collapsed the cliff, and the rocks and trees blocked the road to Yulin County. The people at the gate of the government are clearing it, and it will be open to the road at the earliest tomorrow morning."

Xia Shang frowned slightly: "Is there any other way?"

"Yes, there are, but those small roads are rarely used, and I heard that bandits appear from time to time. It's getting late now, and it may be dangerous to take the small roads."

My wife is still injured, so nothing can go wrong.

Xia Shang thought for a moment: "Then let's find an inn in the city."

"Husband, instead of staying in a hotel, why don't you stay at my mother's house for a night?"

It's okay to think about it. The relationship between my wife and her mother's family is very tense, and this opportunity can be used to ease the relationship between the two families.

Just as he was planning, a female voice suddenly came from outside the car.

"Li Zhong, why are you here?"

Not knowing who he saw, Zhong Bo's voice became a little deeper: "Is it you?"

"Who is in the car? Could it be my brother?"

As he spoke, a familiar face poked its head into the car.

Xia Xinyi was delighted: "Brother, sister-in-law, you are all here! Come in and sit down. I just heard that the road from the east of the city to Yulin County is blocked. I think you can't go back. It just so happens that you can stay at my sister's place for a night."
