The completely different demeanor from the past made Dongfang Xuxiao's heart beat irregularly: "Well... you should rest for a while!"
"..." Hong Ling said nothing, staring at Dongfang Xuxiao with misty eyes without blinking.
Dongfang Xuxiao swallowed his saliva subconsciously; he stood up slowly and carefully put Hong Ling back on the bed: "If you sleep again, it won't hurt when you wake up!"
His words seemed to have a hypnotic effect; Hong Ling obediently closed her eyes, and after a while, she could breathe evenly.
Staring at Hong Ling's sleeping face, Dongfang Xuxiao unconsciously raised a smile on his lips; he tucked the quilt in for her, turned around and walked out of the room.
Stepping out of the house, you will see clear skies.
"Has the girl fallen asleep?" The woman's laughter reached Dongfang Xuxiao's ears from a short distance away.
"Yes!" Dongfang Xuxiao's frown finally subsided and he walked towards the woman with a smile: "I took the medicine and just went to bed!" He stepped forward and took the tray from the woman's hand.
"She is weak now and should rest more!" The woman followed Dongfang Xuxiao and walked into the house, quickly placing the bowls and chopsticks on the table.
Then the man came over with porridge: "Come! Eat first, I'm starving!"
The woman glared at the man angrily: "Every day when I wake up, I know how to eat!"
"Life in this world is all about eating, drinking and sleeping!" The man looked like a dead pig who is not afraid of being scalded by boiling water.
The woman stretched out her hand and twisted the man's ear: "You still understand, don't you?"
"Ouch! I was wrong...old woman! It hurts..."
"It just makes you hurt so that you can remember what you should say and what you shouldn't say in the future!"
"Old woman! I remember...can you let go now?"
"No!" The woman decisively refused the man's mercy.
From the corner of his eye, the man glanced at Dongfang Xuxiao; then he whispered to the woman flatteringly: "There are outsiders here, can you save some face for me?"
The woman rolled her eyes and suddenly increased the strength of her hands; when the man cried out in pain, she retracted her fingertips.
Looking at the couple who were fighting like little enemies, Dongfang Xuxiao laughed.
"I'm telling you a joke!" The woman had a smile in her eyes and waved to Dongfang Xuxiao: "Come! Sit down and have breakfast!"
"Okay!" Dongfang Xuxiao responded, sitting opposite the woman.
The man rubbed his ears, murmured a few words, and then sat down next to the woman.
"I paid attention to my surroundings when I came here. It seems that there is only this family nearby; are you living in seclusion here?" Dongfang Xuxiao asked casually while eating breakfast.
"Yes!" There was a hint of emotion in the woman's voice: "Counting the time, we have been living in seclusion here for nearly fifty years!"
"Nearly fifty years?" Dongfang Xuxiao was not sure whether he heard it wrong or the woman said it wrong.
"Yes! Nearly fifty years!" the woman whispered again.
Dongfang Xuxiao's hand picking up the vegetables paused in mid-air; his eyes looked over and over at the couple sitting opposite him.
"What? There are flowers on our faces?" The woman didn't understand the meaning in Dongfang Xuxiao's eyes for a moment and asked jokingly.
Dongfang Xuxiao silently took back his chopsticks and said after a moment of silence: "Forgive me for asking, how old are you two?"
The woman and the man looked at each other and smiled.
"No one has asked our age for a long time!" The man stroked his beard and said in a long and distant voice: "We lived here in seclusion when we were thirty years old. Counting the days, we are almost eighty years old!"
"..." Dongfang Xuxiao suddenly turned to stone; he looked like he was only in his forties, but his actual age was nearly eighty years old; this gave Dongfang Xuxiao some indigestion for a while.
"Young man! There is no need to show such surprise!" Staring at Dongfang Xuxiao's petrified expression, the man was in a good mood: "As the saying goes, there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside; everything is possible!"
Dongfang Xuxiao slightly twitched the corners of his stiff lips: "May I ask again, what are your surnames?" After hearing their actual ages, Dongfang Xuxiao still dared to call himself "I" in front of them.
"I'm afraid the world has long forgotten my name!" The man's tone was calm, as he had already seen through all the fame and wealth in the world.
The more the man acted like this, the more curious Dongfang Xuxiao became: "Senior, why don't you tell me and listen!"
Seeing Dongfang Xuxiao's persistence, the man did not make any more excuses: "Everyone in the world calls me - madman."
"Crazy?" Dongfang Xuxiao's pupils suddenly dilated, and his voice increased unconsciously: "Crazy doctor?!"
When the lunatic heard this, he immediately became happy: "I didn't expect that after decades, there would still be people who remember my name!"
"Just have fun!" The woman pointed at the madman's head and said angrily.
"Of course I want to have fun! I thought it had been forgotten by the world, but I didn't expect..."
Dongfang Xuxiao ignored the madman's tirade and turned to the woman: "Then you must be the heroine Xuening!"
Xue Ning said with a smile on her face: "How can I be considered a heroine if I haven't walked around in the world for decades?"
"Senior, don't say that. The names and deeds of you and the crazy senior are still talked about by people in the world!" In other words, Dongfang Xuxiao never expected that he would accidentally avoid the enemy's pursuit and meet someone in the world.
Two famous seniors!
"Everyone in the world is very curious as to why you disappeared so suddenly during the heyday of your life. Now that I have seen the two seniors, I seem to understand the reason for your retirement!"
The lunatic raised his chin slightly: "Tell me the reason you said!"
"The ancients have a saying: If you want to win the heart of one person, we will never be apart!" Dongfang Xuxiao glanced at the two of them: "I think the reason for your retreat must be related to this!"
"Indeed! This factor accounts for most of it!" Xue Ning looked at the madman with soft eyes, and the affection between the two was self-evident: "The other reason is that we are all disgusted with the intrigues in the world!"
The madman stretched out his hand and held Xue Ning's catkins: "There are no disputes here, no intrigues; there are only flowers, plants, birds and animals to keep us company all day long; it can be said that our days are very leisurely!"
Xue Ning nodded lightly and said with a smile: "Every day when we are arguing and quarreling, we won't feel lonely. Instead, we will have a strong sense of happiness!"
In the eyes of the madman, there is satisfaction with the status quo: "Everyone has their own goals in life, some for fame, some for profit; but in the end, it is all in vain!"
"Yes!" Xue Ning sighed: "Fame and wealth! If you don't bring it in life, you won't take it with you in death; no matter how hard you try your whole life, when you stretch your legs, everything has nothing to do with you!" Gazing deeply at herself,
The person I love most in this life: "In that case, why not take advantage of the time you have the energy to find a quiet and peaceful place with the love of your life, and enjoy the few short decades of life; when you close your eyes, think about the past and the
Everything about the people you love is worth it!"
Hearing their conclusions about life, Dongfang Xuxiao had admiration in his eyes, but more of it was envy!
I envy their broadmindedness, their luck, and the fact that they can spend the rest of their lives with the person they love most!
"Young man! Don't be envious!" The madman read Dongfang Xuxiao's eyes and smiled to comfort him: "Everyone has the opportunity to meet the person destined to be in his life; but as for whether they can live together happily, it depends on them
How to choose your own life!"
"To be able to give up a great future and fame and fortune like the two seniors and choose to win the heart of one person and stay together forever, I'm afraid there won't be too many in the world!" Dongfang Xuxiao came to the world in a quiet way.
Reality.
"Everyone is greedy and wants the best of both worlds; but how many things in the world have the best of both worlds?!" The madman couldn't help but sigh.
Xue Ning held the madman's hand with her backhand: "Since it is their choice, they will bear the pain and pleasure in the end!" The corners of her lips were slightly raised, and she changed the topic: "Okay! If you don't say this, there is nothing wrong with it, hurry up and eat.
Come on! The food is cold!"
"Yes! Hurry up and eat!" The madman greeted Dongfang Xuxiao: "You're welcome, just treat it as your own home!"
"Yeah!" Dongfang Xuxiao picked up the chopsticks again, picked some vegetables and put them into the bowl. Suddenly he remembered something and raised his head suddenly.
"What's wrong?" Xue Ning asked after noticing something strange about Dongfang Xuxiao.
"Although this place is hidden, no one can guarantee that those people will not be able to find this place..." Dongfang Xuxiao's face was full of apologies: "...If this breaks your peaceful life, I will..."
"Don't worry! I have activated the surrounding formations. No matter how powerful they are, they can't get in!" The madman interrupted Dongfang Xuxiao to reassure him.
"Anyway, I'm sorry..."
"Since we are here, it means we are destined; don't think too much about anything and hurry up and eat!" Xue Ning picked up some vegetables and put them into Dongfang Xuxiao's bowl.
When the lunatic saw it, he was unhappy: "You didn't pinch me, why did you pinch him?"
"I'm a junior, who do you think you are?" Xuening returned to her previous fierce demeanor.
"Who do you think I am?" The madman raised his eyebrows: "Of course I am your wife! How dare you be so cruel if you don't pick up food for your wife!"
Xuening glared at the madman fiercely: "If you want to eat vegetables, don't you have hands?"
The madman pointed his chopsticks at Dongfang Xuxiao: "He also has long hands, why did you pinch them for him?"
"..." Dongfang Xuxiao touched his nose very innocently and secretly said: Crazy senior, you don't need to be jealous like this!!
"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you!" Xue Ning resolutely buried her head in her meal and adopted a policy of ignoring whatever the lunatic said.
Saying he was tired, the madman muttered something boring and buried himself in his meal.
"You guys eat slowly, I'm full!" Xuening put down the bowls and chopsticks, got up and walked out of the house.
After a while, he walked back into the house with a bowl of hot porridge in his hand.
"Aren't you full? Why did you serve another bowl of porridge?" the madman asked.
"I'm full, but the girl in the room hasn't eaten yet!" Xue Ning said, and started to walk towards the west wing.
"Senior Xuening! It's better to come down!" Dongfang Xuxiao hurriedly put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hands and stepped forward to take the porridge from his hand.
"Have you eaten yet?" Xuening asked.
"Yes!" Dongfang Xuxiao nodded; not allowing Xuening to refuse, he continued: "You guys chat, go down and deliver food to her!" After saying that, he walked towards the west wing.
