They walked down the mountain slowly, hand in hand. Yue Xiuzhen's little face was red and she lowered her head. Her little hand was held tightly in the palm of the man in front of her. It was warm and steady.
"Oh!" It hurts. Yue Xiuzhen pouted her cherry lips aggrievedly, rubbed her aching forehead, and glared at the man who suddenly stopped." Can't you make a sound before you stop?" You almost turned me into a fool."
"Ha, Pin 'er, you're so smart. It's okay if you're a little stupid.”Dan Shihan was embarrassed. He pulled her into his arms and gently rubbed away the red mark on her forehead. His heart ached and he regretted it." It was indeed a heavy knock." It's my fault. I'm sorry."
"Uh, Dan Shihan, did you hit your head too?”Yue Xiuyan tilted her head curiously and stared at the man's handsome face. She felt that he had changed a little. His eyes were less cold and more warm.
Dan Shihan sighed and grabbed her little hand again, supporting her carefully." Pin 'er, I…" Before he could finish his words, a black shadow flashed in front of him. His heart instantly sank." What's the matter?"”
"Advisor, a letter from the general." The black shadow respectfully held the letter and glanced at the calm Yue Xiuyan.
Yue Xiu Xin sneered in her heart. She was indeed a farmer's wife, but she was not as timid as a mouse. It was just a man in black, what was there to be afraid of? Hmph, don't look down on her. She had even seen a murderer from the 21st century, let alone a black-clothed guard.
After Dan Shihan finished reading the letter, the black shadow handed him a lighter." Advisor, when are we leaving?"”
"Tomorrow afternoon, wait for me at the pavilion outside the village.”Dan Shihan burned the letter to ashes and held Yue Xiuyan's hand again to continue walking down the mountain, saying,""I'll get someone to send the herbs you picked to the old doctor. You stay at home obediently and don't go anywhere, understand?”
"How long will you be gone?" Yue Xiuzhen did not answer but asked instead. She tried to keep herself calm. Although the two of them had just kissed, hugged, and slept in each other's arms at night, there was still a thin layer of paper between them. No one had exposed it. To him, she was his wife of five years. To her, he was an unfamiliar acquaintance. She had yet to enter his heart. As for his advice, he was just teaching his wife from the husband's point of view.
Dan Shihan stopped in his tracks and looked up at the crown of the towering tree. It was almost noon, and the sunlight pierced through the gaps of the leaves, making it difficult to open his eyes. He wanted to say something but didn't say anything. He sighed lightly and pulled her down the mountain.
Yue Xiu Xin followed him down the mountain in silence, followed by seven soldiers who were responsible for protecting them.
The group went down the mountain smoothly. Dan Shihan was afraid that the seven soldiers would be seen by the villagers and cause unnecessary trouble. He bowed and thanked them, then took out some money for wine to give to the soldiers.
The soldiers quickly left, and Dan Shihan continued to hold Yue Xiuyan's hand and walk towards the village.
…………
The fragrance of the beans came from afar. Yue Xiuyan looked around happily, but she didn't see any peddler selling tofu pudding.
"What are you looking for?" Dan Shihan asked with a smile.”
"Tofu Pudding." Yue Xiuyan answered casually. She closed her eyes and smelled the fragrance of beans in the air. She muttered to herself in confusion,"Where is it?"
"Hehe, it's Li Tofu's house over there.”Dan Shihan pointed to a farmhouse not far away." Every day at this time, the tofu from Li Tofu's house is ready. Do you want some?"
"Tofu is fine too." Yue Xiuzhen licked her lips. She used to like to eat bean food. She didn't expect there to be a farmer in the village who could make tofu.
Dan Shihan looked at her gluttonous appearance and his eyes were filled with tenderness as he held her hand and walked into the farmhouse.
After entering the courtyard, she saw Li Niu standing in front of the long table cutting tofu. Yue Xiu threw Dan Shihan aside and stood in front of the long table excitedly, swallowing her saliva.
The sudden appearance of the person gave Li Niu a fright. His hand that was holding the knife trembled, and his eyes widened. He asked angrily,"Who are you?"
Yue Xiuzhen's eyes were fixed on the white tofu, and she was not in the mood to answer.
"Brother Daniu, she is my wife.”Dan Shihan spoke at the right time, his cold expression instantly extinguishing Li Niu's anger.
Li Niu blinked." Ah? Isn't this Scholar Dan? What brings you here? Hurry, come in and sit." Putting down the knife, Li Niu moved a chair and placed it in the cleanest place in the courtyard. He scratched his head in embarrassment and smiled."I'm sorry for the mess at home. Um…I'll go get some tea."
"Brother Daniu, don't be so busy. I'm here to buy tofu with my wife.”Dan Shihan pointed at the little woman who was still drooling over the tofu.
Li Niu turned around to look." She's the Yue family's eldest daughter? I heard from my mother that…Lady Dan can speak?”
"Yes, I am. A few days ago, she had asked a famous doctor to treat her mute.”Dan Shihan's attitude was neither cold nor warm, and even if he knew that he was lying, there was nothing he could do.
Li Niu muttered in his heart that what his mother heard was not the case. It was said that he had drunk paraquat poison tea and was afraid of death, so he did not dare to pretend to be mute anymore.
Although Li Niu was a simple and honest person, he was not stupid. Since the other party was deliberately hiding it, he would be ungrateful if he said it again. It was best not to do anything that offended others.
Just as the two of them were awkwardly silent, the courtyard door was pushed open from the outside. A middle-aged woman walked in with a basket of vegetables.
"Daniu, guess what I just heard?”The middle-aged woman's smile froze and she asked in confusion,""Eh? Why is Scholar Dan here?"
