Chapter 127

It was almost six o'clock after dinner, Yan Qingyao helped Ji Fangxue clean up together, and left with Lu Yuxiao.

The sky was still clear when we came, but the sky was cloudy on the way back, and it seemed that a heavy rain was brewing.

"Mr. Lu, why did you come here? Why didn't I see you driving?" Yan Qingyao suddenly thought of this and asked.

Lu Yuxiao said, "My car is parked at the head of the village."

The road in Xiaoguo Village is narrow, and it is not easy for a large off-road vehicle to turn around, so Lu Yuxiao did not drive in.

Returning to Yan's house while talking, Lu Yuxiao took a careful look at the newly built houses passing by.

"I don't know which local tyrant came to our village..." Yan Qingyao explained to him the strange things that happened in the village, "I bought all the houses around my house, and the villagers all said that I am a treasured land of geomantic omen."

The local tyrant who bought them all is probably Ji Feng.

But looking at the two houses that have been built, it seems that it is not quite right to calculate from the time.

No matter how powerful Ji Feng is, he cannot build a house in one day.

"Mr. Lu, do you want some tea? I heard that the well water here is connected to the mountain spring, and the tea is delicious." Entering the yard, Yan Qingyao asked.

"No, I will go back after a while." Lu Yuxiao said.

"Ah..." Yan Qingyao was a little bit reluctant to part with her, but she also knew that her home was not easy to live in, so she didn't ask her to stay.

"Do you live alone at night?" Lu Yuxiao looked at the layout around the house.

"Yes." Yan Qingyao nodded.

The bungalows in the village are no better than high-end residential areas, the doors and windows are not strict, and there are no guards and surveillance. Yan Qingyao, a girl living in such a place, is really not safe for Lu Yuxiao.

Although the law and order is good now, there is no shortage of villains. It is not safe for a girl to live alone, let alone Yan Qingyao is still a beautiful girl.

"Alone at night, aren't you afraid?" Lu Yuxiao's eyes fell back on Yan Qingyao, he remembered that little things are timid.

"I'm used to it. After my parents passed away, I lived alone. At that time, Fang Xue had to go out to work, so she didn't have time to accompany me every day." Yan Qingyao said.

Compared with a person who is crying for a show, a person like Yan Qingyao who talks about the sad past with a nonchalant expression is more likely to make people feel distressed.

Lu Yuxiao wanted to touch her, but restrained herself from reaching out, and said, "Isn't Ji Fangxue here now? Why didn't you come to stay last night?"

"Xu Yiqing is here too!" Yan Qingyao said, "I don't like him."

Lu Yuxiao suddenly felt that Xu Yiqing was an eyesore, this is probably called disgusting black and black.

With a click, a thunderbolt suddenly fell outside the window, shaking the sky as if it was buzzing.

Then a gust of cold wind blew in from the window and swept the house.

"It's going to rain." Yan Qingyao hurriedly walked over to close the window, and looked back at Lu Yuxiao, "Mr. Lu, if you want to leave, hurry up. It will take 15 minutes from here to the village. If you don't hurry up, you will die." Watered by the rain."

Lightning strikes, the dark room lights up for a moment, and then there is another thunder, booming.

Listening to the thunder outside, Lu Yuxiao said, "I'm not leaving, the village roads are inconvenient in this weather, so I'm not in a hurry to leave tomorrow."

In fact, the more important reason was that he was worried about Yan Qingyao.

This kind of thunderstorm is really not safe.

"Okay!" Yan Qingyao was very happy.

"You are not reserved at all." Lu Yuxiao smiled.

"Why should you be reserved?" Yan Qingyao was puzzled.

"It's nothing." Lu Yuxiao went over and closed the other window, "I'm just joking."

The rain was fierce, and within a short while, huge raindrops fell from the sky, hitting the ground like broken beads.

In less than 5 minutes, the rain changed from small to large, and the whole yard seemed to be smoking.

"Is this called smoke and rain?" The two stood under the eaves, admiring the pouring rain outside, Yan Qingyao felt it, "It seems to be filled with smoke, the village hasn't seen such heavy rain for several years .”

As she talked, she thought of something again, and said, "Mr. Lu, you can sleep in my bed tonight. I'll go to the next bedroom to sleep."

"Don't bother." Lu Yuxiao said, "It's up to the owner, if you want to sleep, I will sleep in the guest room."

"There is no bed next door, only a small couch made of wooden boards. It is very narrow. It must be uncomfortable for you to sleep on it at such a high height." Yan Qingyao said, "I am small, so it is just right for me to fall asleep."

If the two were comfortable big beds, Lu Yuxiao would sleep right away, but I heard that there is only a small couch in the other room, so it is impossible for him to occupy Yan Qingyao's bedroom.

"An uncomfortable bed will not become comfortable just because you sleep in it. If you insist on letting me sleep in your room, I may have to walk away in the rain."

"Don't!" How could Yan Qingyao agree.

"Then I will sleep on the small couch." Lu Yuxiao said involuntarily, "That's it."

"Okay." Yan Qingyao couldn't twist him, and couldn't let him leave in the rain, so she could only agree.

She went back to the room, found the only quilt left in the house from the cabinet, and went to the next door to make a bed for Lu Yuxiao.

The small wooden couch is only more than one meter wide, and it was the bed she slept on when she was a child. If Lu Yuxiao, who is 1.9 meters tall, lay on it, her feet would be exposed outside.

Yan Qingyao could only spread the quilt evenly and try to make it as comfortable as possible.

After finishing all this, she went to the kitchen to make a pot of hot scented tea, brought it into the big room, and moved the small coffee table out.

This small table was originally made of pear blossom wood, the wood is very good, and the workmanship is also good. It has not been damaged after so many years, and it is one of the few remaining pieces of furniture in the Yan family that can still be used.

It was raining heavily outside, and the house was warm and comfortable. The two of them drank hot tea around the table. They were no longer alone, and Yan Qingyao suddenly felt happy.

What she wanted was never the illusory fame and wealth in the entertainment industry, as expected, the current life is more suitable for her.

It would be great if Lu Yuxiao could come here more often, Yan Qingyao thought secretly.

"Shall we play cards?" Lu Yuxiao put down his teacup and proposed suddenly.

"Poker cards?" Yan Qingyao came back to her senses.

"En." Lu Yuxiao asked, "Do you have any at home?"

"It seems there are. Last time during the Chinese New Year, we played when Fang Xue came to my house." Yan Qingyao stood up, "I'll look for it."

She went back to her hut, rummaged through boxes and cabinets, and finally found a deck of playing cards left over from the last game in the drawer.

"It's quite new." Taking it back to the big house, Lu Yuxiao took the cards and shuffled them casually.

His hands are very nimble, with slender fingertips, and the cards are flipped on the back of his hands. Yan Qingyao's eyes are dazzled by the speed of his hands.

"What do you want to play?" After washing, Lu Yuxiao put the cards back on the coffee table and smoothed them gently.

"Picking a turtle." This is the only one Yan Qingyao can play well.

"Okay." Lu Yuxiao said, "But this time we can't play for nothing, there should be a bet."

"What bet?" Yan Qingyao asked.

"Is this..." Lu Yuxiao seldom thought about it seriously.

The bet is of course not about money, and secondly, it cannot be something that takes too much effort, such as running around after losing a game, which is too time-consuming and meaningless.

Playing the palm is too simple, and drinking is unrealistic. After much deliberation, there is probably only the most common trick, sticking sticks.

Whoever loses will post, and the position of the post is determined by the winning party.

After hearing Lu Yuxiao's thoughts, Yan Qingyao also found it very interesting and readily agreed.

only……

Her card skills were really poor, and she was not good at watching her face. After ten rounds, Lu Yuxiao only had a piece of paper stuck on her forehead, but her face was covered all over.

The places Lu Yuxiao chose were all on his forehead, and Yan Qingyao was pasted like a mop.

"Well...why do I always lose?" Yan Qingyao held a new hand of cards and seriously reflected on herself, feeling very unwilling.

When Mingming played with the Murakami children, she mostly won.

Lu Yuxiao looked at her face, which showed obvious emotions no matter whether she was tense or relaxed, and couldn't help laughing.

He stretched out his hand and drew a card in Yan Qingyao's hand. Yan Qingyao's expression remained calm and did not change at all.

But after three or five times, when there were only three or four cards left in the hands of the two, Lu Yuxiao picked a card and held it.

Yan Qingyao's eyes widened.

Lu Yuxiao let go thoughtfully, and squeezed another one.

Yan Qingyao's tense expression relaxed slightly.

"..." Lu Yuxiao.

It's so obvious that I feel a little sorry for wanting to release water.

He moved back to the original card and drew the card.

At this moment, the light bulb above his head suddenly flickered twice, and then went out with a bang.

The whole room was plunged into darkness in an instant, and the cooling sound of the refrigerator stopped.

In the silence, only the fading sound of the rain outside could be heard, and without the light of the moon, the room was pitch black.

"what……"

When Lu Yuxiao heard Yan Qingyao yell, he hurriedly stood up and stretched out his hand towards Yan Qingyao, "Qingyao?"

In the next second, Yan Qingyao rushed over and hid behind him, her hands tightly clutching the clothes behind him.

Lu Yuxiao grabbed her wrist back and said softly, "Don't be afraid, it's just a power outage."

"En." Yan Qingyao also knew that there was nothing terrible about a power outage, but she was a little unaccustomed to the dark environment, "It must have been too windy and windy, and the line was disconnected somewhere."

"It's often like this in the village?" Lu Yuxiao could hear the habit in her words.

"I used to do this when I was a child, but the development has been getting better and better in the past few years, and all kinds of equipment in the village are also very new, and occasional power outages will come soon." Yan Qingyao said, "Let's wait."

"En." Lu Yuxiao responded.

Suddenly, there was a bang in the courtyard outside, like a door hitting a wall, loudly.

"What's going on?" Lu Yuxiao became alert.

"Maybe the door was knocked against the wall by the wind, I'll go and have a look." Yan Qingyao called the mobile phone on the coffee table, turned on the flashlight, and wanted to go out to have a look.

Lu Yuxiao grabbed her and said, "Let's go together."

How can he rest assured that Yan Qingyao is alone in the middle of the night?

Lu Yuxiao reached out to embrace her behind him, and he walked forward.

The two walked to the window slowly, and Yan Qingyao shone the light of the flashlight out of the window, and the dark courtyard brightened up, and a figure was approaching.

"It's the third aunt!" Before Lu Yuxiao was on alert for the visitor, Yan Qingyao called out kindly from behind.

"You know him?" Lu Yuxiao turned his head.

"Yes, it's my neighbor. She probably came to see me, so I'll open the door." Yan Qingyao trotted over to open the door with her mobile phone in hand.

The third aunt happened to walk outside the door, and before she had time to knock on the door, the door opened by itself.

Not to mention, after the door opened, Yan Qingyao stood in front of the door, her forehead was still covered with torn papers, and the light from the flashlight in her hand shone from bottom to top, making her face as white as paper. A piece of broken paper is attached to the front, and this scene can scare people with weak hearts at a glance.

The third aunt didn't have a bad heart, but she was also frightened, and jumped away from the spot.

She pointed at Yan Qingyao, her tone trembling, "Drag...the mop!"

"..." Yan Qingyao.

"..." Lu Yuxiao.

……

After inviting the third aunt into the room, the third aunt was still in shock, until Yan Qingyao tore off all the notes stuck on her forehead, revealing her familiar face.

Coincidentally, electricity also came at this time, the lights in the house came on, and the front and back yards became brightly lit again.

The third aunt finally regained her composure, and smiled helplessly at Yan Qingyao, "You said you girl, you are really going to scare me to death by sticking a note in such a good way!"

"I was playing cards with my friends, and I lost a lot." Yan Qingyao introduced Lu Yuxiao to the third aunt, "This is Mr. Lu, my friend."

The third aunt shifted her eyes to Lu Yuxiao, "This young man is so handsome, the male celebrity my girl is chasing is not as handsome as him, and he is also tall, so he has strength at first sight."

This was the most embarrassing compliment Lu Yuxiao had ever heard, and said, "Third Aunt is overwhelmed."

"Third Aunt, what's the matter with you coming here so late?" Yan Qingyao asked.

The third aunt looked away from Lu Yuxiao and said, "It's okay. Isn't this a power outage? I saw that the rain was getting lighter, so I came to see you. After all, a little girl lives here. This rainy day The power went out again, I don't worry."

"I'm not afraid to have Mr. Lu here to accompany me." Yan Qingyao said, "Don't worry, Third Aunt."

"Of course I am relieved to know that you have friends with you." The third aunt said, "Actually, in the past, all the people living in our village are old people. We have known each other for decades, and we know everything about character. This is not Recently, several local people have moved here, and everyone is somewhat worried about security issues."

"Since the people who moved here are all rich people, it stands to reason that they shouldn't do anything sneaky, at most a little domineering, so you don't have to worry too much, Third Aunt." Yan Qingyao comforted.

"Yeah, it's better to move in with a rich foreigner than a gangster." The third aunt also thought about it, "Since you have someone to accompany you, I don't worry about it. The girl is still doing homework at home, so I have to hurry up." gone back."

"Third Aunt, go slowly." Yan Qingyao kept sending Third Aunt out of the courtyard gate.

Back in the room, Yan Qingyao and Lu Yuxiao looked at each other and couldn't help laughing as they looked at the scattered playing cards on the coffee table.

"Third aunt is too good at taking nicknames, do I look like a mop guy?" Yan Qingyao touched her forehead.

Lu Yuxiao recalled her previous appearance, and said, "It can't be said to be exactly the same, it can only be said to be the same."

"..." Yan Qingyao.

……

When it was time to rest, the two cleared up the things on the coffee table.

The old water heater in Yan Qingyao's house is broken, and she hasn't bought a new one yet, so the water can only be boiled on the spot.

Taking advantage of the call, the two took turns washing up.

After Yan Qingyao finished washing, she went to Lu Yuxiao's room to look around to see if there was anything she needed to buy.
