Li Hanxue suddenly opened his eyes and stood up from the shabby but clean bed. However, as soon as he stood up, he felt a heartbreaking pain in his chest. He gritted his teeth and looked at it.
Looking around, he was now in a dilapidated wooden house. There was only a table and two chairs in the house. On the table with corroded corners, there was a clean white stone pot with a lotus inserted in the stone pot.
, just in bud, a few drops of clear dew adhere to the petals, making the lotus more delicate.
Obviously, this lotus flower was just picked.
Li Hanxue looked at her body. The original servant's yellow clothes had been replaced by clean linen clothes. Although the feeling of wearing this linen clothes was not as good as the clothes of servants of the Su family, Li Hanxue liked this linen clothes better.
Because it can make Li Hanxue forget his identity - a servant of the Su family.
Li Hanxue has been staying in the Su family since he can remember, serving the superior masters of the Su family. Even now, he is twenty years old, and he is still just an insignificant servant of the Su family.
If it weren't for going out with the eldest lady to see the world this time, he might have died in the Su family and been a servant for the rest of his life.
No matter how glamorous a servant is, he is still just a servant after all. Although Li Hanxue is humble and has no ability, he still understands that others are poor but ambitious.
"By the way, where is the eldest lady? Is she still alive?"
Li Hanxue didn't care about his injuries, and immediately got out of bed to look for Su Xiaoya. This trip with Su Xiaoya, the eldest daughter of the Su family, was also authorized by Su Xiaoya, otherwise Li Hanxue would have no chance to come out. However, just because of this time, an accident happened.
On the way, she encountered enemies who were chasing her. All the warriors around her were killed by the enemies. Although the eldest lady was highly skilled in martial arts, she was unable to defeat four people with her fists. Under the heavy siege of the enemy,
He also had to keep Li Hanxue's life safe, but in the end he was seriously injured.
At the critical moment, Li Hanxue saw that the enemy's sword was about to penetrate Su Xiaoya's chest. He stepped forward resolutely and blocked the sword for Su Xiaoya with the determination to die.
After Li Hanxue, who had no martial arts training, took the sword, his consciousness was shaken by the force of the sword, and he fainted. What happened next, Li Hanxue did not remember at all.
"Since I am still alive, then the eldest lady must also be alive!" Li Hanxue quickly got out of bed with an uneasy heart. He could not take his own life, but he could not accept the fact that Su Xiaoya died, because as long as he could remember, that beautiful woman
The noble but gentle girl has always been engraved in his heart
deep.
She is like a ray of sunshine in winter, lighting up Li Hanxue's life, giving him the courage to spend every cold night in the Su family, and giving his bleak life a glimmer of light and hope.
However, Li Hanxue knew that this kind of hope was nothing more than a toad's wish to eat swan meat and its whims.
This glimmer of light and hope made Li Hanxue feel happy, but also extremely painful. Although Li Hanxue liked fantasy, he was not so naive as to think that someone like him would really have hope of being with the eldest lady. He knew that the eldest lady would get married sooner or later.
Human beings will leave the Su family sooner or later. He just wants to help the eldest lady before she leaves the Su family.
She does something.
No matter how trivial it is, it is proof of his existence.
"Miss!" Li Hanxue shouted, "Where are you?"
"Young man, your injuries haven't healed yet. How can you move around casually?"
At this time, a gray-haired mother-in-law hurriedly walked in, held Li Hanxue's shoulders and told Li Hanxue not to move.
Li Hanxue glanced at her mother-in-law and said, "Grandma, have you ever seen my eldest lady?"
"Are you talking about that very pretty girl? She has a tear mole in the corner of her eye and a white mark like a phoenix on her forehead." said the mother-in-law.
Li Hanxue nodded quickly: "Yes, that's her. She is the eldest lady of my family."
The mother-in-law smiled and said: "She went out to collect medicine and will be back soon. Don't get out of bed and move around again. Miss Su specially told me when she left, to let you recuperate in bed."
Li Hanxue asked anxiously: "When will the eldest lady come back?" The mother-in-law smiled bitterly and said: "Young man, don't be impatient, she will be back before sunset. She has been taking care of you at night and during the day when you were in coma.
Went out to collect herbs. Seeing her hard work, I wanted to help her collect herbs, but those medicine ladies
I really don’t know anything. Just stay in the house and recuperate patiently. Your eldest daughter will be back soon."
Li Hanxue finally sat back on the bed with a little peace of mind, but his heart was still very uneasy. His heart would never be at peace until he saw Su Xiaoya.
This day was extremely torturous and long for Li Hanxue. It seemed like a year. He wanted to get up several times to find Su Xiaoya, but his mother-in-law stopped him.
The old woman told Li Hanxue that if the injury recurred, it would be a waste of Su Xiaoya's hard work these days, and all Su Xiaoya's hard work would be in vain.
Only then did Li Hanxue give up the idea of going to Su Xiaoya. "The eldest lady actually took care of me personally..." Li Hanxue felt a little incredible. Although he knew that Su Xiaoya was a master without any pretensions, he actually had no communication with Su Xiaoya.
almost always quietly from a distance
Looking at her, he didn't dare to let her notice, let alone go up and talk to her.
In the Su family, if a servant rashly talks to the master, he will be punished. If he is just punished, Li Hanxue doesn't care. What he is really afraid of is Su Xiaoya herself.
In his heart, Su Xiaoya was like a goddess who could only be viewed from a distance, not even close. In this case, how could he dare to approach Su Xiaoya?
"Li Hanxue, what are you thinking about? The eldest lady will take care of you just because you blocked a sword for her. If it hadn't been for that sword..." Li Hanxue's thoughts were suddenly interrupted. He was as stiff as a tree and fidgeted.
My heart was filled with emotions of excitement, uneasiness and joy, because Su Xiaoya had already approached the house. She was carrying a bamboo basket containing various kinds of things.
There were flowers and plants that Li Hanxue had never seen before, and the rich aroma continued to emit from the basket, instantly filling the whole room.
Li Hanxue swung her feet out of bed very uneasily, stood up and went to greet Su Xiaoya.
"Miss, it's great that you are still well." Li Hanxue said. Su Xiaoya smiled lightly and said: "You sit down first. Your body is still very weak now. You can't move around. Otherwise, the wound will tear and I will be very sad."
