Chapter 291 Return to the Village to Get the Painting
After their wedding, Qing Liang and Feng Wudu returned to Yaowang Valley with a bird and a dog.
The courtyard in the village was no different from before Li Xiaoyu left, and even every room was cleaned very cleanly.
But after all, no one lives there, and there is a stale smell in the air.
Seeing her puzzled expression, Li Guangchang glanced at the woman who was weeding outside the yard and whispered to her, "Mom comes here to clean up every few days."
"Occasionally, Dad would come quietly."
Neither of them said they were there to clean the yard; they both came secretly. Li Guangchang noticed something was wrong.
I found it by secretly following them.
Hearing his elder brother's words, Li Xiaoyu narrowed his eyes and looked back at the people outside the yard.
The corners of his mouth curled up.
Li Guangchang did not delay her work. He glanced at the sky and said with a smile, "Third sister, I will go back with my parents to cook first. You can go home with your brother-in-law to eat after you get the food."
Li Xiaoyu only told them that he came back to get something, but did not say specifically what it was.
The woman nodded: "Yes."
After Gu Lin finished looking at the yard, he also wanted to see the village where Uncle Wang once lived. Gu Fei was worried, so he asked Luo Feng to take him for a walk.
He and Li Xiaoyu were the only ones left in the yard.
Looking at the courtyard where they had once stayed, both of them felt somewhat touched.
Li Xiaoyu glanced at the earthen stove in the corner and walked into the room.
Gu Fei followed her and saw her squatting on the ground with her head stretched under the bed. He also half squatted down and said in a gentle voice: "What are you looking for? I'll help you get it."
"It's just one box. I can do it myself."
Although they are married, Li Xiaoyu tries not to trouble Gu Fei with things he can do himself.
As she spoke, she caught a glimpse of what she was looking for, stuck her head inside, reached out her hand, and dragged out a small wooden box.
Looking at the wooden box, Gu Fei didn't have much impression.
He looked at the woman beside him with a smile on her lips in confusion, and followed her to the main room.
Seeing that she was about to go out, Gu Fei guessed what she was going to do and took out a handkerchief from his arms and handed it to her.
Taking the handkerchief, Li Xiaoyu grinned and thanked him: "Thank you very much."
She quickly wiped the dust off the surface of the box, rolled her eyes, and suddenly wanted to give Gu Fei a surprise. She took a step back and nodded her chin.
"You open it."
There was a hint of cunning in her smile, and Gu Fei saw it.
He lowered his eyes, unfastened the rusty iron buckle with his left hand, and the moment he opened the lid of the box, he saw the familiar paper lying inside, and his brows slightly frowned.
Almost in the blink of an eye, I realized something.
He took out the drawing paper and spread it out one by one, and it was just as he expected.
All of them are his own paintings.
He had a very good memory. He frowned and twisted the drawing paper in front of him. His mind flashed back to the conversation he had with the woman. At that time, Xiaoyu said, "The shopkeeper said that the lines were a bit messy, so he could only sell it for five cents."
He asked, "Did you really accept it?"
"Of course I accepted it. We are on the same boat now. Why would I lie to you?"
"You've worked hard to sell paintings for me, I'll just keep one."
He took out the cracked copper coin from his arms, and with a complicated expression he turned his head to look at the smiling woman.
He spoke slowly, word by word: "You didn't sell any of my paintings?"
Li Xiaoyu took the cracked copper coin from his hand, raised her eyebrows, and told him why she didn't sell the painting at that time.
After hearing her explanation, Gu Fei felt that his previous self was even more hateful.
Li Xiaoyu saw his self-blame, calmly put the copper coins into his arms, stretched out his arms to hug him, and patted his back gently, "Okay, okay, it's all over, don't think too much."
She can let it go, but Gu Fei can't.
He hung his head, like a black cat stealing dried fish, "Xiao Yu, I didn't save you at the first time. I can't imagine how sad you were at that time."
Hearing him mention this matter again, Li Xiaoyu felt that this matter had become a knot in his heart.
She hugged him tightly, pursed her lips, took a deep breath, and spoke her true feelings calmly.
"I wasn't sad at the time. I was a little upset because I thought you had martial arts skills but you were still playing tricks on me. I was more concerned about saving my life. I was sad because I developed a strange feeling towards you afterwards."
“When I like and love you, I will care about what you do. When I don’t love you, I will just think you are a beast and won’t feel any heartache.”
Hearing her straightforward words, Gu Fei did not deny it.
He is indeed a beast.
Just as he was about to apologize, Xiaoyu's calm voice rang out again: "However, as I get to know you more and more, and have seen the environment you live in, I can more or less understand your behavior at that time."
"You had problems with your hands and feet, and you were exiled to us. You also got a wife for no apparent reason, and she was still planning to harm you."
"Although I didn't do those things, my father did receive the money."
"We had only been together for a few days, and you couldn't see yet. The darkness would amplify your feelings of anxiety and suspicion. It was normal for you to have any emotions or behaviors."
Li Xiaoyu thought about it and thought, if she was Gu Fei.
Being treated like this by his closest relatives, he might have strangled this wife who had appeared out of nowhere the moment he woke up.
No matter how many come from behind, I will strangle them to death as soon as they come.
Although her words were meant to comfort Gu Fei, she really thought so in her heart.
Gu Fei didn't reply, but he put a little more force on the big hand that was locking Li Xiaoyu's waist.
Li Xiaoyu let him hug her tightly, rubbed her cheek against his neck, and patted his back lightly. Suddenly, a question flashed through her mind.
She blinked, glanced at the man's broad shoulders, and asked curiously, "Speaking of this, I am curious."
Her face was delicate and gentle, and Gu Fei liked it very much.
His thin lips pursed: "What are you curious about, Xiaoyu?"
"Why did you decide to come out and save me then?" She had never thought about this question before.
Gu Fei let go of her and carried her to sit on the table with one hand.
The table in the main room was at a certain height, so she could look the man in the eye. Seeing the doubt in her eyes, Gu Fei squeezed between her knees.
The dark eyes were filled with affection.
The deep voice slowly shed sincere words: "If I am killed by him, I will remember to run fast and catch up with you on the way to reincarnation."
With every word he spoke, there was more affection in his eyes.
"You also said that if there is another life, you will take me to live a good life and we won't have to endure this hardship anymore."
Li Xiaoyu's eye twitched.
Her mind was in a mess at the time and she spoke without restraint.
She never thought that Gu Fei came out to save her because of this incident, and even all his changes were based on this.
Seeing her surprised.
Gu Fei's eyes were slightly narrow. His eyes were very beautiful, and he was like a seductive fox.
"I can tell the difference between truth and lies. Your tone at that time was very sincere, and it touched me inexplicably."
Hearing the word "sincerity", Li Xiaoyu pursed his lips.
She didn’t know if it was because she had some special qualities, so she didn’t care. She never felt that she was sincere, and she felt that she was pretty bad.
But if you compare her heart and mind with Gu Fei, she is indeed much more sincere.
Glancing at her thoughtful look, Gu Fei turned his left hand behind his back and swung his palm to close the door of the main room.
Hearing a squeak, she came to her senses and opened her eyes in confusion.
"What are you closing the door for?"
What answered her was the warmth of Gu Fei's head pressed against her neck, and his sexy, mellow, low voice: "In order to repay Xiaoyu, I should give myself to you."
There was a sense of matter-of-factness in his indifferent tone.
Li Xiaoyu hissed, helpless: "What do you mean by pledge your love to me? I think you are just greedy."
"It's been two days. I'm really hungry."
There were gusts of breeze outside, and the drawing papers on the table were scattered in disorder, some on the table, some on the ground, along with the entangled black shadows.
It constitutes a decadent painting.
