They had walked on the rugged mountain road for most of the day. Even the strongest and most energetic people felt tired.

Pei Yuan's body was exhausted, but his eyes were frighteningly bright.

Wei Meng looked at Pei Yuan's face. According to his understanding of Pei Yuan, Pei Yuan's anger had reached its peak. Wei Meng was afraid that he would not be able to control his impulse and do something excessive, so he nervously comforted him: "Young general, when you meet people later, you must talk nicely..."

Pei Yuan interrupted him lightly: "Stand further away."

Wei Meng stopped talking and backed away reluctantly.

It really looked like it was about to rain. The wind was howling. There were many trees in the village, and the leaves were blown rustling, which was very creepy. Pei Yuan's heart was beating wildly in his chest. He raised his hand and knocked hard at first, but soon realized that the sound was too loud, so he reduced the force and knocked twice lightly.

Dozens of soldiers surrounded the outside, all staring at him.

Pei Yuan was homesick. He had already made plans on the way here, and had a lot of words from the bottom of his heart, but now he couldn't say a word.

When he hesitated, he suddenly remembered his miserable appearance. He was afraid that Bao Ning would see him and dislike him, so he hurriedly took a step back, tore off his sleeves and wiped his face twice, went to the bottom of the wall next to him to rub the mud off his boots, and then patted the dust off his body.

Wei Meng was stunned. He thought Pei Yuan would just break in, but now he started to dress up like a grown-up girl.

He leaned over to the soldier next to him and asked, "What is your leader doing?"

The soldier stammered, "No, I don't know."

Everyone looked at each other. Over there, Pei Yuan finally packed up, regained his confidence, took a step forward, and knocked on the door again.

He leaned half of his body against the door panel, his lips facing the crack of the door, and whispered, "Ningning, open the door quickly, I'm home!"

Once he opened his mouth, the next sentence would be much smoother. Pei Yuan's voice was a little louder: "Ningning, I'm here to find you, open the door, I'm home!"

Ah Huang in the house shouted loudly.

Pei Yuan showed a happy expression, he had found the right place. He took a deep breath and cleared his throat: "Ningning, wake up, did you hear me talking!"

Baoning was woken up, she sat up hugging the quilt, her eyes were still a little dazed, and she looked at the door in disbelief.

Pei Yuan's voice was so hoarse that Ah Huang couldn't tell who it was. He ran to the door with his butt sticking up and continued to yell.

Pei Yuan's voice turned cold: "If you yell again, I'll pick you up and throw you out!"

Baoning believed it now, it must be Pei Yuan outside. Except for him, no one else would use such a tone and say such words.

Did he really come here without complaint? Baoning was surprised.

It would be a lie to say that she was not happy at all. Baoning pursed her lips and suppressed the joy in her heart. She hardened her heart and decided to teach Pei Yuan a lesson. She was still angry and had to be tough. Pei Yuan had done such an excessive thing. If she forgave him again this time, there would be endless troubles due to Pei Yuan's dog-like temper.

She had to tell him that distrust was a very serious matter, and she was not that easy to appease!

Baoning made the quilt and lay down again. Let him stay outside for one night.

There was no sound in the room. Baoning didn't speak, the sheep didn't cry, and the dogs didn't bark. Pei Yuan listened for a while and became nervous.

He was afraid that Baoning had met with an accident inside, so he was eager to go in and investigate. He pulled the door frame with his hand and shook the wooden door, making it creak: "Ningning, say something, don't scare me!"

Baoning covered her ears because of the noise, sat up irritably, and went downstairs to drink a sip of water.

Pei Yuan listened to the noise in the room, knowing that Baoning was fine, and felt relieved. He thought about the reason why Baoning refused to open the door for him, and remembered the nonsense he said, that if he went back to find her, he would be a dog. Pei Yuan's forehead was gradually covered with cold sweat. He was not sure what Baoning meant. She didn't really want him to bark like a dog in public, did she?

This was too humiliating!

Baoning drank a sip of water to moisten his throat, glanced at the door, and there was no movement. She frowned, thinking Pei Yuan was backing down, and she felt a little uncomfortable. Putting the cup down, Bao Ning smoothed her clothes, and decided to leave him alone for two more days, and walked towards the bed.

Suddenly, a few faint dog barks were heard from the door, awkward and shy, not like Ah Huang's wild voice.

Bao Ning looked over in surprise. Ah Huang was also confused, staring at the crack of the door. After a moment of silence, the sound came again, howling, howling.

Pei Yuan was pacing around the door helplessly. He was shameless, so why didn't Bao Ning say anything?

The wind carried the sound, and Wei Meng and the soldiers heard it. They didn't dare to laugh and could only hold it in. Pei Yuan didn't want to care about what those people thought. He was afraid that Bao Ning had fallen asleep and didn't hear anything, so he knocked on the door twice to wake her up. He put his mouth close to the crack of the door and howled twice, then quickly stopped talking with a breath.

After waiting for a while, Bao Ning's laughter came from inside. She looked very happy. Pei Yuan's mouth curled up when he heard it, and he forgot the embarrassment just now.

That's good, as long as she is happy.

Pei Yuan suppressed his joy, leaned against the door and discussed with her: "Ningning, I know you are awake, let me in!"

Baoning walked to the door, his voice deliberately calm: "Why are you looking for me in the middle of the night? Go find your concubines and bring a few more so that the yard is full. You go to this room today and that room tomorrow, indulge in the gentle countryside, and don't bother me."

"No way." Pei Yuan smiled bitterly, "Those were all my angry words, drunken words, and they don't count. I only have you, and I would never take a concubine even if you kill me."

Baoning said, "You only have me, and I don't want to have you alone. Don't you believe in your eyes? You have seen that I have a wild man. You'd better leave."

After she said this, Pei Yuan felt a lot more at ease, knowing that Baoning was angry and looking for an excuse to quarrel with him. It's better than being cold and ignoring people.

"I know I was wrong, I'm here to apologize to you!" Pei Yuan coaxed her in a soft voice, "I was blind, I'm not a human, I'm a bastard, I shouldn't have distrusted you. Please open the door, I'll go in and bow to you to apologize!"

Bao Ning said, "No need, it's inconvenient for me to see guests late at night, if you have something to do, come back tomorrow morning."

"Master? What master?" Pei Yuan was anxious, "I'm your husband, your man, it's not like I haven't slept in the same quilt before, what's inconvenient about it."

Bao Ning's eyes widened: "Are you ashamed? What are you talking about!"

"Which word is wrong?" Pei Yuan said subconsciously, and then realized that he was guilty and had to be gentle, and couldn't confront Bao Ning like that.

He poked his fingers at the crack of the door, trying to make his voice more clearly heard in the room. He pinched his throat awkwardly and said, "Ningning, it's my fault. You are right. Let me in."

"Don't even think about it." Bao Ning turned her head away. She felt that Pei Yuan's tone did not show any remorse, and her anger grew. She paused, and said to Pei Yuan: "Mr. Pei, you may have forgotten that I don't have a husband. The man I married looked down on me, and on the first day of our marriage, he gave me a divorce letter. He signed his own name on it, and he almost left a record with the government. Legally speaking, we have nothing to do with each other."

"Divorce letter?" Pei Yuan was stunned.

He tried hard to recall, and finally remembered that he had indeed written it. At that time, he was determined to drive Bao Ning away, and his head was hot, so he wrote such a sinful letter. But that was a long time ago, how could she still remember it!

Bao Ning refused to give in, and said "Mr. Young Master, please go back", and was going back to sleep.

Pei Yuan was anxious and crazy. Young Master, he really hated this title. He wanted to kick the door and go in immediately, but he didn't dare to, and turned back to look at Wei Meng.

Wei Meng had good hearing and heard the general idea. He didn't know what to do, so he didn't dare to look Pei Yuan in the eye and pretended to turn his face away.

Pei Yuan was furious, he had to go in tonight, the night was long and dreams were many, he had to make things clear to Bao Ning as soon as possible. She could beat or scold him as she pleased, but he couldn't stand such an awkward mood!

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, blowing the corners of Pei Yuan's robe rustling, he looked down, then looked up, and came up with an idea.

"Ningning, it's raining outside."

Pei Yuan's voice was not as high-pitched as before, but low, frowning, and humming.

Bao Ning's footsteps really stopped.

Pei Yuan knew it was effective, so he became even more aggressive. He stumbled and fell on the door panel. He rushed over with a bang and called her: "Ningning, my leg hurts."

His voice was full of pain. Baoning's heart sank. She thought it was really raining outside and his poisonous injury had taken effect.

Pei Yuan fell to the ground and knocked on the door weakly. His throat was tight: "Ningning, do you really not want me anymore?"

"I'm dying of pain..."

Pei Yuan simply lay on the ground.

The soldiers outside were all staring at him, and Wei Meng was also staring at him. Pei Yuan turned his head and saw them. At this time, he felt embarrassed, and quickly waved his hands with his eyes wide open, and mouthed: "Get out! Get out!"

It was dark, and no one could see what he said, and they all stood there in a daze.

Baoning couldn't bear to leave Pei Yuan there alone, so he opened the door and wanted to help him in.

But when he looked up, he saw that the yard was full of soldiers, holding knives, spears, swords, and halberds, as if they were here to catch thieves.

Baoning lowered his head and glanced at Pei Yuan. He was frowning and didn't look seriously ill at all.

Knowing that he was fooled, Baoning's face fell, and he stepped back to close the door. Pei Yuan reacted and immediately stretched his foot in to block it: "Don't close it, don't close it."

He jumped up like a carp, forcefully propped open the crack in the door, whooshed in, closed the door with his backhand, and propped it up with his back, performing a series of movements smoothly.

Pei Yuan heaved a sigh of relief: "Finally you came in..."

"You!" Bao Ning was so angry that her heart ached. She really wanted to step on him, but she thought it wouldn't hurt and there was no need to waste the effort, so she simply pushed Pei Yuan's shoulder and tried to push him out.

Pei Yuan was motionless, just looking down at her with a smile in his eyes. Bao Ning felt uneasy when he looked at her, and raised her head and said: "Who asked you to come in..."

Her eyes had adapted to the darkness. There was no moonlight outside, but Bao Ning could still see Pei Yuan's face clearly, and her movements froze.

How could this man become so sloppy?

He was covered in dust and there were scratches on his face, poor wolf.

Bao Ning lowered her eyes to look at his shoes. These shoes were made by her, using the best material, and she would clean them every day, so they were always clean. But now it was covered with yellow mud, and the bottom was about to fall off. Where

had he been? Wasn't he a horseman? How did he become like this? Baoning was very angry just now, but when she saw his pitiful look, she felt distressed.

"Bao'er, don't chase me away." Pei Yuan reached out to hug her, rubbed his face against hers, and said in a hoarse voice, "Look at what you said just now, divorcee and young master, you knew I couldn't leave you, but you still wanted to make me angry. Isn't this like cutting my heart with a knife?"

"You've said all the good and bad things." Baoning held his chin with her hand, his stubble was stiff and it hurt her face.

She didn't want to forgive so quickly, she lowered her eyes and didn't look at him, still resisting: "You didn't say that, and it doesn't have to be me, let me go and ask, you don't lack women."

"I do, I just lack you, you are enough." Pei Yuan grabbed her hand, licked her fingertips, begged and coaxed, "Don't say such angry words, don't you want to kill me. My life is given by you, you can take it if you want, but can you be quick, don't be so desperate."

He bit Baoning's fingertips, pinched her wrist, and pressed it on the scabbard on his waist: "Please draw the sword."

"Are you sick!" Baoning struggled to pull her hand out, Pei Yuan held it tightly, pulled it twice, and fell to the ground holding her waist. Baoning's pity for him just now disappeared, and she wanted to bite him to death.

Pei Yuan rubbed her face with his lips, rested his arms under her waist, and rolled around on the ground with her in his arms.

Bao Ning regretted so much that she opened the door for him just now. She knew that this man was not a decent person. Pei Yuan lowered his head and rubbed it back and forth on her chest, rubbing her all over the dirt. After he rubbed and rubbed enough, he kissed her collarbone and called out, "Bao'er, Bao'er."

"Who is your Bao!"

Bao Ning grabbed his hand and shook it off, but Pei Yuan shamelessly rubbed it back, touched her hair, and pressed Bao Ning's face into his arms.

"Bao'er, I miss you so much, I'm going crazy."

Bao Ning always knew that Pei Yuan was shameless and shameless sometimes, but she didn't expect him to be like this. He doesn't look like a prince at all, he is worse than a gangster, and he talks dirty.

Pei Yuan had rough hands and feet. His way of expressing his love and longing for her was to get close to her. Only when their skins were close enough, he felt relaxed and satisfied. Pei Yuan pinched her waist. Bao Ning was almost pinched to death by him. She raised her legs to kick him, but Pei Yuan did not dodge. He buried his face in her neck, took a deep breath, and laughed softly.

"Ning Ning, let's reconcile."

Bao Ning said angrily, "Are you here to reconcile or to threaten me?"

"Both." Pei Yuan pecked her eyelids, "If you don't forgive me, you'll let me die. Are you willing to do that?"

Bao Ning felt that she would be pissed off to death by him sooner or later.

Pei Yuan put his mouth close to her ear and shamelessly imitated the barking of a dog. Bao Ning got goosebumps all over her body when she heard it. Ah Huang ran over excitedly and barked with Pei Yuan.

The room suddenly became noisy. Bao Ning was annoyed and pushed Pei Yuan away: "Shut up!"

Suddenly, it was quiet.

Bao Ning sat up from the ground. She was so tired from being rubbed by Pei Yuan that she was too lazy to stand up. In this position, she talked to Pei Yuan: "We need to have a good talk."

Pei Yuan took off his clothes, put them under her butt, and said "um": "You talk."

Bao Ning pursed her lips: "Do you know why I am angry?"

"I know." Pei Yuan said, "I didn't trust you, and I said something that hurt you. When something happened, I just made blind guesses and didn't ask you. I will change, Ningning, give me a chance."

Bao Ning looked at him unexpectedly. She didn't expect that he really figured it out.

Pei Yuan looked at him with sincerity: "Ningning, I will live a good life with you. I am not a prince, not a general, but your husband. If you are unhappy, you can beat me or scold me, but we have something to discuss, that is, can you please stop leaving without saying a word? I really can't stand it. What should I do if I really can't find you? I can't live without you. You gave me my legs and my life, and you are reluctant to leave me, right?"

It was rare for him to say such a long sentence, and Baoning suddenly felt a little sour in his eyes: "Who doesn't want to live a good life? Aren't you the one who is annoying all day long? It's obviously your fault, but according to your words, it became mine."

"I'm not good at talking, and I can't learn how to say sweet words to make you happy. Promises are too fake, and you won't believe them even if I make them." Pei Yuan took out a short blade from his sleeve, pulled Bao Ning's hand and stuffed it into her hand, "How about this, I'll give you a knife, and you'll have it under your pillow all day long. I'll sleep next to you, and if I do something wrong again or make you unhappy, just stab me to death with a knife."

Bao Ning was so angry that she laughed and wiped her nose, "Why are you so annoying?"

"I'm learning, I'm learning to please you." Pei Yuan reached out and held her face, rubbed his thumbs under her eyes, and softened his voice, "I'm a very good learner."

Bao Ning bit her lip and said nothing. Her eyes were a little crooked, which meant that she was laughing in her heart, and Pei Yuan could see it.

"Are you tired?" Pei Yuan put her calf on his lap and took off his shoes, "I'll squeeze it for you."

"Stop making trouble." Baoning pulled her foot back, and she stood up, pulling Pei Yuan to stand up as well. "Sit somewhere and I'll get some water and wipe it for you. You're all dirty."

Baoning went to find the flint. After a while, the candle lit up and the lights came on.

There was a small kitchen in the courtyard. Baoning went to boil water. When he came back, Pei Yuan had already stripped off and was sitting obediently. He didn't dare to go to bed, so he sat on a small stool with his back arched, his legs stretched out and Ah Huang squatting in the middle. He became addicted to imitating the barking of dogs. He would tease people's chins and bark at the same time, making Ah Huang shake his head and wag his tail.

Pei Yuan had enough fun, so he held the dog in his arms, holding its belly, and stretched out two fingers to pick the dog's mouth to see its white teeth.

In a trance, Bao Ning felt that the days seemed to have returned to the time when they were in their own courtyard, very peaceful days.

Pei Yuan looked up and saw her, and hurriedly pulled his fingers out of Ah Huang's mouth and rubbed them on his waist.

Bao Ning said: "Don't stand there, go to the kitchen to get some water. I boiled a lot and I can't move it. You have to wash your hair well."

Pei Yuan responded, stood up, and walked out without putting on his clothes. Bao Ning called him and handed him a coat: "It's quite cold outside, don't freeze."

Pei Yuan took it, his eyes seemed to be glued to her, and he couldn't see enough.

Bao Ning turned back to make the bed. When he patted the pillow, he saw a shadow on the ground. He turned back and asked, "Why aren't you leaving yet?"

Pei Yuan said "Oh" and beckoned to Ah Huang with his finger, "Let's go and fetch some water together."

Bao Ning said loudly, "There are steamed biscuits in the pot, and some soup left over from the night before. When you go, check the fire to make sure it doesn't burn."
