Chapter 712: People who shelter from the rain deserve to die(1/2)

On this day, the sun shone through the carved window frames and spread on Ouyang Linlin's slightly pale face.

Her delicate body finally improved a little, no longer as sick as before.

Xi Yu hurried into the room, his eyes full of concern and joy, and said, "Linlin, you are well! Don't just kneel down and recite the Buddha's name. The Buddha already knows your piety."

His brows were slightly frowning, and his tone was a little distressed.

Ouyang Linlin leaned against the head of the bed, raised her head slightly, her eyes soft and firm, and she said softly: "I didn't expect you to worry so much."

There was a hint of apology on her face, and her pale lips were gently pursed.

At this time, Xiaohong also said excitedly: "Miss, you are finally getting better! The days you fell ill have scared me!" Her eyes were shining with tears, and her hands were unconsciously holding them tightly.

Ouyang Linlin looked at Xiaohong's innocent appearance, and a warm current surged in her heart, and she said with a smile: "Silly girl, am I getting better now."

Xiaohong said, "It's great that the lady promised not to chant the Buddha's name so desperately anymore!"

Ouyang Linlin sighed softly, with a hint of emotion in her eyes: "I know you are all for my own good, and I will pay attention in the future."

Xi Yu stood in front of the window, looked at the view outside the window, and spoke with a serious expression: "Linlin, I plan to leave next. After all, the task has been completed. As for Tuoba Yu, there is no need to look for her anymore, just pretend that this woman has never been there."

When Ouyang Linlin heard this, her heart suddenly sank, and the smile on her face disappeared instantly, and she said, "Okay, let's leave. However, I want to have a few days of playing in this Kushan Empire and finally come here." A trace of reluctance and helplessness appeared in her eyes.

Xi Yu turned around and looked at Ouyang Linlin's slightly disappointed expression. He felt unbearable. Finally, he nodded and agreed: "Okay, then I'll play here for a few more days."

Ouyang Linlin's mood then calmed down a little, she gently bit her lip and whispered: "Thank you, husband."

Her eyes fell in the distance, and her thoughts seemed to float to the unknown distance.

Xiaohong ran out of the house, looked up at the blue sky like a gem, and felt the gentleness of the breeze blowing across her cheeks, and shouted excitedly: "Miss, the weather outside is very good, why don't we go out for a walk now?"

Ouyang Linlin was sitting at the table in a daze. When she heard Xiaohong’s suggestion, a light flashed in her eyes and she happily agreed: “Okay!”

Then he turned to look at Xi Yu and asked, "Husband, what do you think?"

Xi Yu smiled slightly and replied, "I'll be with you."

The three of them walked out of the door and came to the yard.

The sun shines on every corner of the courtyard, and the branches and leaves of the green trees sway gently in the breeze.

Suddenly, a sound of a monk chanting Buddha's name came slowly, and the sound was ethereal and distant, as if it came from another world.

Ouyang Linlin stopped unconsciously, her expression became solemn and solemn, and an inexplicable tranquility surged in her heart.

Several people were walking through the bustling street market, laughter came one after another.

Ouyang Linlin looked at the dazzling array of goods on the street curiously.

Before they knew it, they came to the stall where Cao Rui sold things.

Cao Rui was busy greeting guests, but when he looked up and glanced at Xi Yu, the smile on his face suddenly stopped and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

After the guests left, Cao Rui hurriedly said to Xi Yu: "Can you borrow a step to speak?"

Xi Yu nodded slightly and followed Cao Rui to the quieter corner behind the stall with a calm expression.

Ouyang Linlin and Xiaohong stood there, looking at their backs in confusion.

Cao Rui asked nervously and anxiously: "Does the matter in the temple have anything to do with you?"

Xi Yu frowned and asked with a puzzled look: "What does it mean? I don't quite understand."

Cao Rui realized that he was talking too much, and quickly changed his words and said directly: "It's the young abbot's business."

Xi Yu's heart tightened, but his face remained silent. He stared at Cao Rui with a slightly alert tone: "Why are you asking this?"

Cao Rui's face turned red, his hands were rubbing the corners of his clothes uneasy, and his mouth was opened a few times, but he didn't know where to start.

Xi Yu looked at him and said impatiently: "I have limited time, so if I don't say it, I'll forget it."

When Cao Rui heard this, he was immediately panicked. He took a deep breath and finally plucked up the courage to tell Cao Shuangshuang about it.

"That's right, then Cao Shuangshuang is the daughter of my uncle's family."

Xi Yu was stunned when he heard this, his eyes full of surprise.

Xi Yu no longer concealed it and directly talked about Song Shuwen's practice of medicine.

When Cao Rui heard this, his eyes suddenly widened, and his anger suddenly appeared, his teeth choked and roared: "If it weren't for this Song Shuwen, how could Shuangshuang and the abbot be like this!"

His face turned red, and blue veins swelled up on his forehead. His anger made him lose his mind. He suddenly stretched out his fist and hit Xi Yu.

Xi Yu was quick-eyed and quick-handed, and grabbed Cao Rui's arm in an instant.

Cao Rui struggled hard, but could not break free from Xi Yu's shackles.

Xi Yu looked serious and looked straight into Cao Rui's angry eyes and said, "You calm down first! Saving a life is better than building a seven-level Buddhist temple. The abbot is a Buddhist, but he wants to elope. His own thoughts are wrong!"

Cao Rui gasped and opened his eyes wide open: "What do you know? They truly love each other!" But his heart was shaken by Xi Yu's words, and his movements gradually slowed down.

Seeing Cao Rui calmed down a little, Xi Yu let go of his arm and said slowly: "I understand your mood, but impulse cannot solve the problem."

Cao Rui lowered his arm weakly, his eyes full of pain and entanglement, and he stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do.

Xi Yu no longer paid attention to Cao Rui standing there, but left directly.

He walked in a hurry and soon arrived at Ouyang Linlin and Xiaohong.

When Ouyang Linlin saw him come back, she asked with confusion on her face, "Who is that person?"

Xi Yu frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "That is Cao Rui, the son of Cao Pi."

Ouyang Linlin said softly, frowned slightly, and asked again: "Will Cao Rui attribute his father's death to his husband, thus creating a revenge?"

There was worry in her eyes, and she unconsciously grabbed the corner of her clothes.

Xi Yu looked dissatisfied and snorted coldly: "It doesn't matter, let him come just by."

His eyes were firm and fearless, and he did not take this potential threat seriously.

They continued to stroll through the bustling street markets, at least they saw the nearby area, with a very prosperous crowd and a wide range of goods, as if they had forgotten that the Kushan Empire was in a state of war.

Ouyang Linlin suddenly stopped, with a hint of confusion in her beautiful eyes, and asked Xi Yu: "Husband, will you occupy the territory of the Kushan Empire in the future and become like the Central Plains?"

Xi Yu was stunned, then shook his head and said, "I don't have this idea. I won't just plunder the territory, like Alexander."

Ouyang Linlin tilted her head and looked curious: "Who is Alexander?"

Xi Yu raised his head slightly and looked at the sky. It turned out that he accidentally told the story of his previous life and said slowly: "Alexander is a famous conqueror in the West. He conquered a large area of ​​land with force, but such rule is often difficult to last. What I want is not simply expansion, but peace and prosperity."

Ouyang Linlin looked at Xi Yu, her eyes were full of sincerity and concern, and she said seriously: "I say that, and I sincerely hope that the people here can get rid of the dire state of life."

"Linlin, I understand your feelings, but I don't have this idea yet. Let's talk about it later."

At this moment, at the home of the old man Wan Henghua, a rapid rain suddenly started to fall in the originally clear sky.

Tuoba Yu, who could not remember anything, stood in front of the window blankly, looking at the world chaotic by the rain outside the window, feeling very troubled.

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted at the gate: "Is there anyone in the house?"

When Wan Henghua heard the shout, he looked out and saw several men standing at the gate. Some of their clothes were wet with the rain, obviously coming to shelter from the rain.

Wan Henghua quickly responded: "Yes, come in!"

When several men heard the greeting, they hurried into the house. While slapped the rain on their bodies, they kept thanking: "Thank you for taking it in by the old man."

Wan Henghua smiled and waved his hand: "When you are out, no one has any difficulties? Find a place to sit down and take a break."

Tuoba Yu turned his head and looked at these strange men, not knowing what he was thinking.

Several men saw that Tuoba Yu was so beautiful and her skin color seemed to be not a woman from the Central Plains.

They suddenly felt very fresh, their eyes staring at Tuoba Yu, some even showed greedy eyes, and there was a malicious smile on the corners of their mouths.

When Wan Henghua saw this, a burst of anger surged in his heart, and he coughed heavily.

Tuoba Yu also saw their disgusting eyes, frowned, his eyes full of disgust, and he unconsciously took a few steps back.

The men were a little restrained, but their eyes still glanced at Tuoba Yu from time to time.

The atmosphere inside the house suddenly became very awkward and nervous, with only the sound of rain outside the window beating.

After a while, a shorter man put his lips on the ears of another man with a thick body and said a few words.

The stout man kept nodding, with a more greedy smile on his face, and an evil light flashed in his eyes.

"Brother, this woman is so beautiful, we can't miss this opportunity." The short man whispered, his eyes full of desire.

"Hmph, you have to say this! Isn't it easy to deal with an old man?" The thick man raised his mouth, showing a ferocious expression, and he was already thinking about how to succeed.

They thought they spoke very little, but they didn't know that Tuoba Yu and Wan Henghua had already noticed their inadvertent intentions.

Tuoba Yu bit her lips tightly, anger and fear intertwined in her heart, and her hands clenched tightly, thinking: "I will definitely not let them succeed in this group of evildoers!"

Wan Henghua's face turned pale and thought to himself: "It seems that he is in trouble today, and he has to protect this girl no matter what."

At this time, the atmosphere inside the house became more and more tense.

At this time, several men could no longer contain the evil thoughts in their hearts and began to approach Tuoba Yu step by step.

One of the guys with a fat face pointed at Wan Henghua and said viciously: "Old man, don't meddle in other people's business, otherwise you will look good!" His eyes were fierce, as if he was going to swallow Wan Henghua in one bite.

Wan Henghua straightened his back, looked at him angrily, and shouted loudly: "Langlang Qiankun, are you not afraid of retribution for doing this evil thing?" Although his voice trembled, he was full of determination.
