Chapter 36 Handkerchief(1/2)
Heming Academy.
Shen Xiao's situation has not improved at all, and he is still ignoring everyone.
But when they were having dinner at noon, Qin Tian blocked Shen Xiao's way before she left.
Shen Xiao frowned and looked at her, which made Qin Tian flinch, but he still said.
"Shen Xiao, can you have dinner with me?"
Shen Xiao turned her head, "No."
Qin Tian: "."
Perhaps she had expected that she would be rejected, and turned to Shen Xiao again.
"But I'm a little scared of eating alone. I'll bring you food. Can you protect me?"
Her request was strange but had an underlying logic to it.
Shen Xiao was silent for a moment, her voice softened by two points, "Where are you going?"
Qin Tian was overjoyed and took her to the place where he usually eats.
Shen Xiao only eats simple meals in the college cafeteria on weekdays. She doesn't shy away from others' eyes, and no one dares to provoke her.
But the place where Qin Tian usually eats is a secluded place with no one to disturb her. However, when she put out the food she brought, Shen Xiao was stunned for a moment.
Qin Tian specially ordered today's meals on the stove to be made into medicated meals according to the recipes he had written. One of them was dangshen pigeon soup and astragalus stewed pig's trotters, both of which were specially designed to heal wounds.
Qin Tian was afraid that Shen Xiao would see some doubts and was about to find an excuse to cover himself up.
Unexpectedly, Shen Xiao spoke first.
"Thank you."
Qin Tian quickly waved his hand, "No thank you, you just don't blame me for meddling in my own business."
She still tried to cover it up in a low voice, "It's just eating. I'm really a little scared of eating alone."
If Shen Xiao asked her how she knew she was injured, just say she smelled the medicine.
She couldn't confess her brother anyway.
But Shen Xiao didn't ask anything, and ate quietly with her, and followed her wishes and ate a lot more of the two medicinal soups.
For a while, Qin Tian was in a good mood. Even when Wei Miao brought some unfamiliar girls over and told her some polite lies, she also patiently socialized with them for a long time.
When he returned to Liefeng Shanfang after school in the evening, Qin Tian immediately went to tell Qin Shen.
Dinner was also prepared on the stove for the two masters.
Qin Shen had the food placed in the spacious courtyard of Kuoshan Hall. Qin Tian told his brother everything about today's meeting with Shen Xiao.
"She didn't ask any more questions, which made me feel more at ease. But it seemed that she was indeed seriously injured. She had to stop and eat for a while when eating. I will give her two nourishing medicinal dishes tomorrow. I saw The chickens raised in the village at the foot of the mountain are pretty good, so I asked Tiandong to ask the villagers if they could sell a few to us."
After talking on the phone for a long time, she realized that she had talked so much before her brother-in-law had even opened his mouth.
After living in Liefeng Shanfang these days, the two of them have become much closer than before.
But Qin Tian knew that she and her brother had only known each other for a short time. She secretly regretted that she had done so many trivial things. Did she annoy her brother?
Qin Tian felt a little uneasy thinking about this.
But Qin Shen didn't think as she had guessed at all.
He almost never listens to others, and will break things down in detail and tell them all to him.
Most of what he heard was the result or a brief process. Occasionally, his mother, Mrs. Qin, would talk about trivial matters, but her mother was in poor health and lacked energy and blood, so she couldn't say much.
And as he gets older, he no longer hears these things.
Lu Xianzhao always said that he was separated from the ordinary people by a cloud of smoke. Qin Shen did not do it intentionally, but he did not touch it without knowing it.
Qin Tian saw that his brother still didn't speak, and he became more and more worried.
"Brother is not happy?"
Before he finished speaking, Qin Shen spoke.
"No."
Qin Tian looked up and saw the corners of his silent brother's mouth curled up slightly, his thin lips raised slightly.
"I was just wondering, how did you tell that the chickens in the village down the mountain are good-looking?"
Qin Tian opened his mouth and was stunned for a while before coming back to his senses.
Would my brother-in-law actually ask such a question?
"That's right. First of all, the breeds of chickens are good. Then I saw the villagers feeding the chickens with mugwort leaves. The chickens will grow well. Moreover," she laughed, her eyes widened, "the children in the village will always chase the chickens.
Come on, the chicken that comes out of the mountains must be delicious, right? I heard it from my former friends, the Li family."
Miss Li Er? Her little friend?
Qin Shen's eyes became softer and softer.
"You can invite your little friend to Liefeng Villa as a guest."
Qin Tian was stunned when he heard this, and then looked at Qin Shen with surprise and joy.
"Really? Brother?"
Qin Shen nodded, "Really."
"That's great!" Uncle Zhou is no longer in a hurry to repair Qin Tian's own house. He thinks that he has Liefeng Shanfang as a residence anyway. When he comes back to see a good house, he can build a yard for the girl.
Already.
In this way, Qin Tian might not have anywhere else to go for a while, and she would have no place to invite the Li brothers and sisters as guests.
But today, my brother suddenly mentioned this matter.
Qin Tian suddenly felt that his hesitation just now was a bit too pretentious.
She blinked at him, picked up a chopstick of food, and carefully placed it on his plate.
"Brother please."
Qin Shen glanced at the dish she served for him for the first time, "Cucumber?"
Qin Tian: "."
She just saw that he liked this plate of cucumbers, so she gave it to him.
"Brother, don't you like to eat?"
He laughed and said, "I'm not unhappy."
As he said that, he picked up the cucumber strips and put them into his mouth.
Lian Zhou was afraid that the young master would be injured and it would be inconvenient, so he stayed by his side these past few days.
But today, as I watched the young man and the young lady chatting and eating, they were in a relaxed mood. The two orioles landed under the eaves without fear of anyone, and chirped softly.
Lian Zhou motioned to the people serving in the courtyard with his eyes and stepped back quietly.
*
For five days in a row, Qin Tian watched Shen Xiao's improvement and it was obvious to the naked eye that she had recovered a lot.
"Are you feeling much better?"
The two of them are much more familiar with each other than before, and Shen Xiao doesn't shy away from it anymore.
"After using some medicine, the wound healed quickly." She looked at Qin Tian, "Your food is delicious."
Qin Tian also thinks her food is delicious, especially the food she prepared for Shen Xiao.
Just because there is an injured person in the family who needs to heal the wound and replenish qi and blood, Qin Tian has recently been studying a thick stack of medicinal diet books.
If this continues, Qin Tian estimates that Shen Xiao will be better in five days.
But she didn't expect that on the sixth day, Qin Tian waited from morning to noon, but Shen Xiao didn't come.
There was no one there even in the afternoon. It was not until the end of school that Qin Tian saw Shen Xiao going to the principal's study and returning from time to time.
School has dismissed.
Qin Tian hurriedly packed up his things and chased out.
She just vaguely saw Shen Xiao's figure, stumbling a little, and it was completely different from Shen Xiao's body that recovered very quickly yesterday.
Qin Tian's intuition was wrong, but Shen Xiao left early. By the time she caught up to the mountain gate, she had already left in a carriage.
"General Wei, can you not go home first and chase the carriage in front of you?"
Wei You was not Fu Wen. He was very obedient to the girl's words and immediately chased after her on horseback.
But the person in front seemed to be aware of their pursuit, and from time to time they turned and disappeared into the path in the mountain forest.
Wei You didn't dare to drive the carriage too fast, after all, there was a little girl sitting behind him.
He said he couldn't catch up, "The people in front probably don't want us to catch up."
