Chapter 15
Forget it... I'd better listen to him obediently...
I stretched out my paws and scratched the edge of the bed, jumped onto his bed with the strength of my feet on the ground, and lay on the bed board to look at him.
Seeing me jumping up, he lowered the rolled-up bed curtain, blew out the candles, and stretched out the quilt.
I was lying on the side next to the wall, and he was lying next to me. This bed is really not spacious enough. My original body is still very big. If I lie in such a row, I'm sure that he can turn over a little bit at night. go up.
Just when I was thinking about how to make room, he suddenly put his arms around me, wrapped me in his arms, and leaned his head against my furry neck.
"..."
I was still in a daze, when suddenly I felt hot and humid in the pit of my neck. I blinked and found that he was actually crying while hugging me.
I have never been hugged and cried, and I was in a trance for a while.He didn't make a sound when he cried, but just kept streaming tears.I looked at his slender eyelashes wet with tears, and an unspeakable sadness flooded my chest like sea water, and my heart seemed to be stabbed lightly by embroidered silver needles.I stretched out my paw and scratched his back lightly.
He cried for a while, and when he got better, he hugged me gently and talked to me a lot.
Although I didn't have time to react and think about these whispered words, I can be sure that I listened to every word he said, and I will never forget them.
Just like that, after another month or so, I got to know Shen Nianjun very well.
The "familiarity" here means that I appeared in front of him in human form. This time, it was "Wen Yan" who really got acquainted with him, not the little white wolf he called "Little Wen".
In the past month, I only went looking for him twice with my original body, sending some prey there as before, and then having dinner with him.
The rest of the time, I just went to him in human form.Anyway, idle is idle, I go to sit with him, and I can still have a bite to eat.I would also watch him teach Miaomiao how to write, watch him cook and work, and chat with him.
This morning, I also went to Cengfan as usual.But before he reached the entrance of the inn, he saw many people.
When did such a large group of people come to Beihuang?I was a little shocked for a moment, so I hid next to the inn and watched.
The proprietress was nodding and bowing to greet the group of people, but the strange thing was that I didn't see Shen Nianjun.According to his usual temperament of rushing to do work, it stands to reason that he shouldn't.
Just when I was thinking about what was going on, I was suddenly patted on the shoulder.
I was startled, and when I looked back, it was Shen Nianjun.
"This is not a place to talk," Shen Nianjun looked at me, "leave here first."
"Ah, good." I nodded dumbly, and walked behind him while thinking, guessing that this group of people should be entrusted by the court to escort the exiled prisoners here.
This can also explain why this inn has no one to live in and it can still be strong and open here.
The troops sent by these imperial courts are generous, and they are not willing to treat their military masters badly. They will certainly not wrong themselves in the bitter cold of the border, and will not sleep with these prisoners.
But the imperial court would distribute exiled prisoners to the border every day, so these people estimated that the money they paid for one visit would be enough for the small inn to support the next visit.
Thinking of this, Shen Nianjun and I have already walked under the familiar old plum tree.
Before I could ask, Shen Nianjun said first: "Stay here with me for a while, if you have nothing else to do."
I nodded and said, "Okay, I'll be with you."
I can feel that Shen Nianjun is a little upset right now.
If it was normal, he would definitely not say that he wants me to accompany him without treating me as an outsider, so something must have happened to him.
I'm a little upset, doesn't it mean that he doesn't see me only when something happens?
Forget it, let's figure out what's wrong with him first.
"Do you remember what I told you that night?" Shen Nianjun sat under the tree and asked me without raising his head.
I said, "Remember, I remember everything you said."
He added: "Actually, I only told you the first half of my story that day."
"And what about the second half?" I followed his lead and asked.
"Actually, you once asked me why I still had to stay in the inn and work for the proprietress despite being oppressed, right?" Shen Nianjun looked up at me, "Because she once saved my life."
"Ah... so it's like this..." I echoed him with some surprise.
"I used to be exiled to the Northern Wilderness. I was only 13 years old that year, and my family members were beheaded. I survived because of my young age, but I was sentenced to exile on the border forever. Do not return to the imperial city."
"When I passed the inn with the army escorting me, the proprietress was standing at the door holding Miao Miao. The army at that time did not dare to spend money to stay in the inn, but I realized at that time that the proprietress might be my only savior."
"I said I was going to go to the toilet, but the officers and soldiers escorting me pushed me into the inn impatiently."
"Later, the proprietress left me behind. She lied that I fell into the cesspool and couldn't be fished out. She dealt with the officers and soldiers for three days by herself before she concealed the matter."
"Later I asked her why she took such a big risk to save me that day."
I asked, "Then what did she say?"
Shen Nianjun closed his eyes, two lines of tears slid down his cheeks: "She said, because the day she saw me, I held a stack of books tightly in my arms. I am a scholar, and she is illiterate. Frozen frontier, I am the only hope for his daughter to be able to read and write. So no matter how much risk she takes, she will let me stay in her inn."
I nodded half understanding, but I still couldn't figure out why the proprietress was so determined to let her daughter read and write.
Before I asked, Shen Nianjun continued: "This inn was originally opened by the proprietress and her husband. They are a young couple from Shacheng. Her husband was originally a small handyman in the landlord's house. , I stole the landlord's son's book to read, and later married her, and the couple opened this inn together to make a living."
"But her man is a person who has studied hard for several years, and she is not willing to let it go like this for the rest of his life. She also encourages him to realize his ideals and ambitions."
"The man finally went to take the test, but after this time, there is no news until now. I don't know if he has become a high-ranking official, rich and prosperous, or has become a loess bone. She said that when the man left, she was just pregnant. The man She hadn't even met their children, so there was no news about them. How could she be willing to raise a child by herself, racking her brains to make the child read and write, and in the future, she would go to the imperial city to find a source of food. A dear father whom I have never met."
After hearing this story, my mood instantly became much gloomy.
This kind of thing, caught in a lot of dramas in the world, is nothing more than a copy of Chen Shimei and Qin Xianglian.I have watched this kind of drama a long time ago, and I thought I would not have any feelings, but now, when the story on the stage really happened next to me, I just felt how cruel and desolate it is.
How much suffering would it take for a woman to bear and raise a child alone in the frontier fortress.
I felt a little speechless for a while, and Shen Nianjun was already choked up.
I looked around and said to Shen Nianjun: "There are so many people here, I'm afraid it won't be too safe here, why don't you go to my place first?"
He looked up at me and said, "Well, good."
I took him back to the small hill where I lived alone. In fact, I wanted to invite him to come and sit with me a long time ago, but I just didn't have the time. Now, it can be regarded as a coincidence.
I took out the teapot and tea leaves, cut a cup of hot tea and handed it to him, "Drink your saliva first to calm down, I am very safe here, and no one will find it."
Shen Nianjun held the teacup and nodded to me.
He looked at my cabin, and after drinking a cup of hot tea, his mood gradually calmed down. He pointed to the two plum trees in front of the door and asked me, "Did you plant the plum trees here? They are so beautiful." .”
I smiled and said, "These two trees are about the same age as my great-grandfather. Do you think I have lived for more than 100 years? I am not a fairy."
Shen Nianjun gave me a meaningful look, and said with a smile, "You are a god."
I suddenly felt a little guilty, and thought, could it be that he saw that I was not an extraordinary person?
But soon I denied my own thoughts. How could a mortal know whether I belonged to the demon race?
So I asked back: "Why am I a god?"
Shen Nianjun lowered his head, thought for a moment and said: "You would put clothes on me when I was about to freeze to death, you would play music to me when I was unconscious, and you would spend money to rescue me. Take me in when you have nowhere to go, you are a fairy, the fairy sent by God to take care of me."
I:"……"
Rao is that I did these things spontaneously and voluntarily, and I didn’t expect him to repay me or remember these things in my heart as a favor, but when I heard him say this, I still couldn’t help it Somewhat moved.
I am the youngest child in my family, and I have been protected and loved by my parents and brothers since I was a child. But as a high-spirited young snow wolf, I also have an instinctive desire to protect a weaker individual than me.
This feeling of satisfying my desires and being valued and cherished by others suddenly made me feel very happy. As a wolf demon, I actually experienced such unprecedented happiness in a mortal man. What a strange thing this is ah.
And Shen Nianjun didn't seem to be aware of my mental activities at the moment, he just stared at the two plum trees outside the door, as if he was thinking about something.
"Hey, what are you thinking?" I took two steps to his side and asked.
He turned his head to look at me with some embarrassment, and said slowly: "Can you play another piece for me? It's right there."
He pointed to the tree.
I was a little shocked for a moment, does he love my Xiao Yin so much?
