Chapter 99 Candid
She ran out and walked to the river, but saw his boat moored there alone. She felt a little strange. He didn't go fishing, so where did he go?

He turned around and walked back, but when he entered the house, he happened to see him coming from the other side.

"Where did you go?" An Xiu'er blamed, her small face was a little angry, and her voice was three points higher than usual, "You didn't tell me when you went out. Came out here to find you."

"Don't be angry, I just saw you sleeping, so I didn't bother you." Zhang Zhenan approached quickly, and when he came to her side, he explained to her in a low voice: "Didn't you always want to sleep?" Do you want to build two tile-roofed houses? I just went to the village to hire someone."

"You went alone?" An Xiu'er's face turned pale, but also a little worried, after all, he seldom interacted with the villagers.

Zhang Zhenan nodded, and said: "Thanks to you, this time I went to find the masons in the village relatively smoothly. I directly entrusted them with the work of this house, and they also promised to invite some villagers who are quick at work to come over for me." .”

"Look at you, you are either indifferent, or you say that the wind is the rain, and this is not the time to build a house. At this moment, the villagers are busy harvesting rice. Who has time to care about you?" An Xiuer's tone seemed to be taunting him. , but three points of concern were revealed in the words.

"You don't believe me? Just wait, someone will come to build a house later." Zhang Zhen'an was confident.

"I don't believe it. If you want to build a house, you have to wait for the autumn harvest." Although An Xiu'er rarely does farm work, she also knows these basics. How about spending some money, and delaying the great opportunity to grab food?

"I said you underestimated me." With An Xiu'er, Zhang Zhen'an always felt a sense of frustration, as if she was always suspicious of her. In fact, money can make ghosts turn around. "I just doubled it." For the wages, they are all willing to come and help me build a house!"

"You're stupid!" An Xiu'er became even more angry when she heard this, and she said, "I hope they won't come, why should you waste your hard-earned money like this, after a while Isn't building a house the same all the time?"

"It's different." Zhang Zhenan shook his head and said, "I can rest assured only after everything is arranged properly."

"What are you worried about?" An Xiu'er didn't understand what he meant, she rolled her eyelids to look at him, that playful look really made him laugh, but she said: "As long as you are by my side, I am very at ease, you Why bother to hurry."

"It's okay, anyway, the money was obtained overnight, so it's better to spend it earlier." Zhang Zhen'an was free and easy.

"You still said, go back quickly and let me see how many injuries you have on your body. I felt so sorry for you yesterday, don't you know?" An Xiu'er frowned when she heard him say this, she hated it He who doesn't care about his body like this.

"I'm really fine." Zhang Zhen'an shook his head and said, "Look at my lively appearance, do I seem to be in trouble?"

"I only trust my own eyes." An Xiu'er pushed him into the house, when he entered the house, she stood at the door and said hello, "Take off your clothes and wait here obediently for me."

"Take off your clothes and wait for you?" Zhang Zhenan's eyes were ambiguous.

"Don't think too much, I'll go to the kitchen and boil salt water for you." An Xiu'er thinks that a good guy, why is he becoming more and more shameless?
"Don't be so troublesome, if you really want to help me, just rub it with white wine for me." Zhang Zhen'an pulled her back with a more serious expression.

"That's fine." Thinking that spirits are also sterilized, An Xiu'er nodded, and ran to the kitchen to get a jug of wine.

Zhang Zhen'an took off and lay on the bed. An Xiu'er couldn't help but feel a little sore when she saw his back, "You still said you're fine. There are bruises all over your back, and some places are swollen."

She opened the mouth of the wine jar and poured a bowl of wine from it. There was a rustling sound, and the smell of strong wine permeated the room. An Xiu'er felt a little choking, and couldn't help but shed a few more tears. Bowl, right as medicine.

She covered the wine jar, dipped her hands in the wine and smeared it on his body. Under the effect of the alcohol, Zhang Zhen'an grinned in pain, but he held back and didn't cry out.

"Does it hurt?" An Xiu'er increased her strength.

"It's okay, okay." Zhang Zhen'an grinned and nodded, An Xiu'er felt amused and annoyed when he saw how he was enduring the pain.

After rubbing for him for a while, there was a sound outside the door. Zhang Zhenan knew that the builder hired today might have arrived. After talking to An Xiuer, he hurriedly got up from the bed and went out to have a look. It was the two masons he was looking for today.

"Uncle Wang, Uncle Li, you are here." An Xiu'er grew up in this village, so she naturally recognized them. She called them sweetly, led them to the main room, and said, "Sit down first. Come down and have a cup of tea."

The mason with the sweat towel on his head was Wang Yiding. He took the bowl, drank the tea in one gulp, looked around, and said, "Xiuer, you are really lucky. You married so quickly, and your house can be built." It’s a new house, so is Brother Zhang, look at our village’s Xiu’er Duowangfu, you’ve married her, how prosperous your life is.”

An Xiu'er blushed when she heard the words, and lowered her head, but Zhang Zhen'an generously agreed, "Yes, I have to pay more attention to the building of the house this time."

"Don't worry, leave it to us, we will definitely make this house beautiful for you." Wang Yiding patted his chest with a smile on his face.

Li Fuxing was more simple and honest, he persuaded from the side: "Brother Zhang, in fact, this is not a good time for you to build a house, it is not cost-effective, not to mention other things, the wages will cost a lot more. "

Wang Yiding was afraid of losing this opportunity to work. Hearing Li Fuxing's words, he quickly said: "Brother Zhang is rich, so what do you do with so much money, just do your job well."

"Not much else, anyway, I would like to thank you two first, money is not a problem, just build the house for us quickly." Zhang Zhenan said.

An Xiu'er didn't speak at the side, and after the two discussed it and went to the village to call someone, An Xiu'er sat aside sullenly and said, "I think it's strange that you are rushing to build the house."

Zhang Zhenan opened his mouth, hesitant to speak, but An Xiuer kept looking at him, finally he sighed and confessed honestly: "I plan to leave here for a while, so I want to build the house first."

"Are you really leaving for a while?" An Xiu'er stared at him blankly.

"I want to go home to deal with some things, the shortest is three to five days, and the longest is more than half a year." Zhang Zhenan's eyes dodged for a while, and he turned his head slightly.

"Go home? Isn't this your home?" An Xiu'er clapped her hands.

"I'm going back to my hometown." Zhang Zhenan replied.

"You never told me about your past. In the past, everyone in the village guessed that you might be the one who committed the crime. I didn't ask, because I was afraid of touching your sad things. Now, we have been married for so long. You can Tell me?" An Xiu'er glanced at him, and when she met his eyes, she hurriedly lowered her head and said, "If you don't want to say it, forget it."

Zhang Zhenan stretched out his hand to hold her hand, and said slowly: "It's not that I don't want to say it, but I'm afraid that if I tell you, it will only increase your troubles. My father died young, and there is still an old mother at home, but she has my younger brother." Take care of me, don't worry, I have an innocent identity, neither a fugitive slave nor a fugitive, I have a rift with my family, this time I went back only because my mother was seriously ill, so I had to go back to visit, don't worry, I have seen her, just Will be back."

"Can I go back with you?" An Xiu'er raised her head and asked again.

"No need, it will take several days to get to my house from here. The journey is bumpy. You wait for me at home. I will be back soon." Zhang Zhenan refused.

"Did you know the boy in white last time? Did he come to call you home?"

"Yes." Zhang Zhen'an nodded and admitted, "I didn't want to go back then, so I lied that I didn't know each other, not really trying to lie to you."

"But you still lied to me." An Xiu'er said in a dull tone, "A deception is a deception. No matter what the reason is, if you deceived me the first time, you will definitely make up a reason to deceive me the second time."

"I definitely didn't lie to you this time." Zhang Zhenan raised his hand and said, "I swear."

"A man's oath is the most unreliable. I thought you were very reliable at first, and I believed everything you said, but now it seems that you are the one who lied to me the most." An Xiu'er lowered her eyes and sighed softly. .

"I really didn't lie to you. I didn't tell you. I was afraid that you would be sad. That's why I worked hard to make money. It didn't matter even if I was a high-risk gladiator, because when I think of you, my heart is full of you." In the last game last night, I really felt that I had no strength left in my body, but I told myself that I must win, and then I won, it was all because of you giving me strength."

He spoke seriously, An Xiu'er raised her eyelids with soft heart, and met his dark eyes, his eyes were full of anxiety, as if she was angry, there was nothing he could do.

"You coaxed me again." An Xiu'er gave him a blank look, but her tone softened a bit.

"What I said is true." Zhang Zhenan hastily clenched her hand.

"Then let me ask you, since you have a family, you must have a wife." An Xiu'er pretended to be calm, but when she asked this question, she actually trembled a little. She didn't want to be a concubine. As for the wife's family, she is not even considered a concubine, but just a nameless outhouse.

"No." Seeing that she was worried about this, Zhang Zhenan quickly shook his head.

"You didn't lie to me?" An Xiu'er's voice was visibly brighter. In fact, she had said a lot, but she was afraid that he would have a wife, and she was afraid of being small.

"I really didn't lie to you!"

"But you are so old, don't your family marry you?" An Xiu'er was still a little unconvinced, "You don't have a fiancée at home, do you? Could it be that your mother is not sick, but is using illness to trick you into getting married?" ?”
