Chapter 303 (Extra) Dream
Usually at times like this, you can get it right in a moment just by stroking Xie Tingzhou's fur.
Shen Yu stretched her head and pecked the corner of his lips lightly, "Then don't let the children go to Yi'an."
Xie Tingzhou narrowed his eyes slightly, "Where should they go if not to Yi'an?"
"Go to Linyan Island with us." Shen Yu said as a matter of course.
Xie Tingzhou was silent.
He finally took time to get rid of these children and spend some time alone together, but he was really controlled by an eight-year-old child?
That's impossible.
Xie Tingzhou lifted the curtain and looked outside, and saw several children whispering together, obviously planning some conspiracy.
If he couldn't even beat a few kids, he wouldn't be Xie Tingzhou.
"Xifeng."
Xifeng stepped forward, "Master."
Xie Tingzhou leaned against the window sill and said quietly: "Go prepare another carriage and take the young master and the young lady with you."
Xie Yu stamped her feet with joy and whispered to Xie Jin: "Brother still has a way."
Just missed the slight smile that Xie Tingzhou raised before he lowered the curtain.
The carriage went north along the official road.
Xie Yu lifted the curtain in front of him and took a look. Seeing his father and mother's carriage in front, he shrank his head back again.
"So boring."
Xie Jin looked at him, "You said you wanted to go to Linyan Island with your father and mother."
"Then I didn't know it was so boring." Xie Yu propped up his chin, "We've been walking for three days, and my father and mother didn't get out of the carriage all the way. What's fun in the carriage?"
Xie Jin's tender eyebrows slightly raised, his mind quickly turned around, and suddenly lifted the curtain, "Stop."
The driver held the reins and said, "Master, we haven't reached the destination yet. The master said that we can't stop until we reach the destination."
Xie Jin pretended to jump down, and the driver hurriedly reined in the horse, "Oh my, if the young master falls, I will be whipped later."
Xie Jin jumped off the carriage quickly, ran to the front and lifted the curtain of the carriage, and immediately stood there, then turned around and looked at Xie Yu.
"What's wrong, brother?" Xie Yu didn't understand.
Xie Jin pointed, "Come and see for yourself."
There was no one in the carriage, it was clearly an empty carriage.
"I was fooled by my father again." Xie Yu stamped her feet, "Father, you are such a liar. If you don't want me to follow you, then I won't let you follow me. Let's go find Uncle Jiang."
Xie Yu pointed to the front, "Let's go to Yi'an."
Li Xuan grabbed Xie Yu's hand, "It doesn't seem right."
This road was clearly heading north, and Yi'an was in the south. The three kids were fooled into walking in the opposite direction for three days.
The cruise ship went down the river, and the river breeze blew on their faces.
"Is this okay?" Shen Yu asked worriedly.
Xie Tingzhou put his hand on the railing and locked Shen Yu in his arms, "Don't worry, we have the guards here."
Shen Yu turned around, "Xiao Yu'er must hate you to death."
"She is as easy to coax as you." Xie Tingzhou smiled like a fox, "Bring her something later, she will forget everything and still call daddy daddy more frequently than anyone else."
The wind on the river at night is very cool. Going downstream, you will reach Jingyi'an in fifteen or six days, and you will reach Linyan Island in ten days.
Two years ago, Li Jifeng suddenly saw through the world and said he wanted to become a monk. After many twists and turns, he chose a place, which was Linyan Island.
But this is not the first time he has shouted that he wants to become a monk.
Seven years ago, when he first wanted to become a monk, he gave up because he had to shave his head, which affected his demeanor.
Five years ago, he gave up because he couldn't eat meat and had to carry water.
Two years ago, he went to Linyan Island, but this time he persisted for a long time, staying for two years.
Xie Tingzhou and Shen Yu went to Linyan Island to see what kind of fairy life Li Jifeng lived.
The boat was sailing day and night, and lying on the couch, one could vaguely hear the sound of water breaking through the water.
Xie Tingzhou hadn't fallen asleep yet, but Shen Yu had already fallen asleep in his arms.
He brushed the hair scattered on her face and thought of his daughter who was baring her teeth and claws.
When Shen Yu was pregnant, Xie Tingzhou wanted a little girl who looked like Shen Yu. He wanted to see what Shen Yu looked like when she was a child, but Shen Yu wanted a boy who looked like him.
As a result, no one got what they wanted. Xie Jin was more like Shen Yu, while Xie Yu was more like Xie Tingzhou.
The only similarity was their temperament. Xie Jin inherited Xie Tingzhou's black belly and eight hundred minds, and Xie Yu inherited Shen Yu's wildness. He loved to wear men's clothes since he was a child and said he wanted to learn from his mother to travel the world.
Li Xuan was just like his father Li Zhaonian, and was humble and polite in dealing with people at a young age.
Xie Tingzhou closed his eyes, and the wind around him seemed to be louder.
His closed eyelids could not block the light, which was a little dazzling.
Xie Tingzhou opened his eyes and found himself standing in front of the gate of Yanliang Pass.
There was no snow in this season, and the grassland outside the pass was a green field. I don’t know what time it is now.
The city behind him was very noisy, and Xie Tingzhou turned around and walked towards Ganzhou City.
As he was about to enter the passage of the city gate, his steps slowed down, turned his head to look at the little man standing at the side of the city gate, and then stopped completely.
It was a five or six-year-old girl with double spiral buns on her head. It seemed that the hairstylist’s skills were not very good, and the buns were crooked and loose.
This was not what attracted Xie Tingzhou’s attention. What attracted him was the knife on the girl’s back.
The knife was almost as tall as her.
Xie Tingzhou walked forward, and when the little girl looked up at him, his heart trembled and he called out softly.
"Ayu."
Shen Yu looked up at him with clear eyes, puzzled. He was too tall, and her neck felt sore from looking up. The sunlight made it difficult for her to see the man's face. She only felt that he was almost reaching the sky, taller than her father and brother.
"How do you know my name?" she asked.
Xie Tingzhou did not answer her, but squatted down in front of her with a smile, "What are you doing here?"
Shen Yu looked him up and down. He was so handsome and had a nice voice. He didn't look like a bad guy.
So he said in a baby voice: "I'm waiting for my daddy and my brother."
Xie Tingzhou's eyes were gentle, "Where are your daddy and brother?"
Shen Yu opened her mouth, as if she wanted to answer subconsciously, and then quickly shook her head, "I can't say."
"It doesn't matter if you can't say it." Xie Tingzhou looked at her intently, "I'll wait here with you, okay?"
Shen Yu's eyes moved, as if she was thinking, and shook her head after a while.
"No, Daddy said not to talk to people you don't know."
Xie Tingzhou laughed, "But we have already talked a lot, what should we do?"
Shen Yu blinked, silently moved a few steps to the side to avoid him, still staring at the outside of the pass.
Xie Tingzhou looked at her profile.
At this time, Shen Yu was still chubby, with chubby cheeks, only her eyes were the same as when she grew up, clean and clear.
Xie Tingzhou took a step towards her, and the little girl immediately moved two steps to the side. He walked again and she moved again, and finally they walked to the foot of the city wall.
"Don't come over again!" Shen Yu shouted.
Her little face was puffed up, not very happy, and her eyes were also alert.
Xie Tingzhou leaned over and looked at her and said, "I'm not a bad person, nor am I an unfamiliar person."
"Then who are you?"
"I'm your future husband." Xie Tingzhou said gently.
As soon as the voice fell, the little girl got angry, "You are a pervert."
She was about to pull out the knife on her back with her backhand, but her arm was not long enough. She held the handle and pulled it up a little and it stopped moving. No matter how she pulled it out, she couldn't pull it out, and her eyes were red with anxiety.
Xie Tingzhou asked tentatively: "Can I help you?"
Then he helped her pull out the knife and put it back in her hand.
Perhaps Shen Zhongan was afraid that he would get hurt. The knife looked like a proper scabbard, but it turned out to be a wooden knife.
Shen Yu pointed the knife at Xie Tingzhou. The handsome man in front of her was not afraid at all, and his eyes were still gentle when he looked at her.
Xie Tingzhou said: "Look, I'm not a bad person. How could a bad person help you pull out the knife? Right?"
Shen Yu thought about it, that's right, she wanted to learn from her brother to put the knife back into the sheath neatly, but her arm was not long enough.
Xie Tingzhou helped her put the knife back and asked her in a gentle voice, "Are you hungry?"
Shen Yu shook her head, still wary of him, and was not willing to talk to him.
But she had squeezed into the corner and had no way to retreat, so she squatted on the ground.
The knife was very long, and it poked the ground when she squatted down. The little girl fell forward, supported herself on the ground, patted the dust on her hands, and moved the rope tied to the knife up.
Seeing Xie Tingzhou still looking at her, the little girl squatted on the spot and turned around to face the corner. The scabbard dragged on the ground to draw a semicircle, leaving a back view, squatting there like a small potato, short and round.
Xie Tingzhou's heart melted, turned into a pool of water, and couldn't even hold it up.
Shen Yu faced the city wall and heard the footsteps leaving. He couldn't help but look back and found that the man was walking towards the city gate.
Not long after, the man came back and spread out the oil paper bag in front of him, which contained four pineapple cakes.
"Look, it's noon, you must be hungry, right?"
Shen Yu shook her head, but her eyes were fixed on the things in his hand.
Xie Tingzhou picked up a piece and took a bite, "Hmm, delicious, don't you want to eat it?"
The little girl in front of him swallowed her saliva, "Daddy said that eating sweet things will cause toothache."
"It hurts if you eat too much." Xie Tingzhou coaxed, "It won't hurt if you eat a few pieces."
The chubby little hand slowly stretched out, and just as it was about to take it, it was grabbed by someone.
Shen Yu wanted to shrink back, Xie Tingzhou took out a handkerchief and wiped her dusty hand bit by bit.
Delicious food is indeed something that can easily bring people closer. Shen Yu ate pineapple cakes and sat on the hillside with Xie Tingzhou.
She ate very slowly, her cheeks bulged when she bit, and she chewed for a long time before swallowing.
Xie Tingzhou thought, I have to go back and tell Xiao Yuer that her mother was very cute when she was a child, not like a crazy girl like her.
Xie Tingzhou fiddled with the hair on Shen Yu's head, "Who tied your hair?"
"My daddy." Shen Yu said while biting the pineapple cake.
Xie Tingzhou untied her loose hair on one side, tied it into a beautiful little bun, and fiddled with it with his fingers.
"Is it okay for me?"
Shen Yu nodded, "Okay."
"Then when you grow up, I will come to marry you, okay?"
The little girl was stunned, her face a little flustered, "Then...what about Brother Zhuangzhuang?"
"Brother Zhuangzhuang?" Xie Tingzhou asked with a smile: "Who is Brother Zhuangzhuang?"
Shen Yu said seriously: "Brother Zhuangzhuang is the most powerful, strongest, and most handsome brother in our street."
At this point, Xie Tingzhou didn't realize anything.
Then the little girl added, "We have agreed that he will join the army when he grows up, and then I will marry him."
The warm expression of the man in front of him immediately darkened, causing the little girl to shrink back in fear.
"It really can't be done." The little girl said anxiously, "We all have made an appointment."
Xie Tingzhou suppressed his unhappiness and told himself that this was just a dream.
But not even in dreams.
He asked her, "You like people who are good at fighting, strong, and good-looking, right?"
"Yes." Shen Yu nodded and added: "I still want to join the army."
Xie Tingzhou asked: "Then is he as good-looking as me?"
Shen Yu honestly said: "No."
Xie Tingzhou smiled, "Well, you see, I'm better-looking than him, I'm better at fighting now, and I'm definitely stronger than him, and I've already joined the army, so do you want to consider changing to someone else?"
Shen Yu was a little confused, but Xie Tingzhou kept up his efforts, "Did he go to your house to hire someone?"
"What is a lower job?" Shen Yu asked innocently.
Xie Tingzhou explained: "The engagement is to confirm that you want to marry him. Without the engagement, nothing will count."
"Is that so?" Shen Yu thought for a while and said, "No, then I'll go back and ask him if he wants to come to my house to hire someone."
Xie Tingzhou was furious. After talking about it for a long time, he was still making wedding clothes for others.
"Don't ask." Xie Tingzhou made a decisive decision, "I will go to your house tomorrow to hire someone."
The sound of horse hooves came from far and near, and a group of cavalry came running from the pasture outside the pass.
Shen Yu's eyes lit up, she stood up, spread her short legs and ran forward.
"Dad, brother."
The man on the horse raised his whip and sped up, bent down and picked up Shen Yu from the ground and put her on the horse's back.
The man smiled heartily, "Ah Yu, why did you run out to pick up Daddy again?"
Xie Tingzhou looked from afar, a smile appeared on his face, watching his girl laughing wantonly in her father's arms.
The horse is about to pass through the city gate.
Shen Yu turned around on her horse and looked at the figure on the hillside. Then she raised her head and asked, "Dad, a very handsome uncle will come to my house tomorrow to hire me. Is that okay?"
Shen Zhongan rubbed her head in confusion, "What are you talking about? What uncle?"
Shen Yu pointed to the hillside, "It's over there."
Shen Zhongan turned his head and saw only the undulating green grass on the hillside, "Where is it?"
Shen Yu looked doubtfully, but saw that the figure was still standing there, looking at her, and then he opened his lips and said something to her.
Her ears were full of wind and she couldn't hear what he said. She didn't remember until the horse passed through the city gate.
Although they were so far apart, those words seemed to penetrate into her heart. She heard him say:
"Don't be afraid of anything you encounter in the future, Ayu. I will always be here waiting for you."
Xie Tingzhou looked at the empty city gate.
They parted here, and his Ayu would go through hardships later, but they would eventually meet here.
The sound of wind was replaced by the sound of water. Xie Tingzhou opened his eyes and saw the moonlight streaming in from the window, and the cruise ship was still sailing.
The little girl, who was carrying a sword about the same height as a person and holding two chirps, had grown up and was sleeping quietly in his arms.
