Heng Lin was taken in by Shangguan Shu.
He was hired as Shangguan Qingyue's nanny in exchange for three meals a day.
Looking after Shangguan Qingyue, cooking for her and playing with her, Shangguan Shu had his hands free and had time to make money.
The trees on Yumang Mountain were struck down by lightning and fire, and Shangguan Shu lost another source of income.
Shangguan Shu went to town.
Shangguan Qingyue and Heng Lin were left in the yard.
Shangguan Qingyue sat on the steps holding Xiyangyang and watched Henglin feed the cows.
Heng Lin's fairy-like white robe was burned by the lightning, with some patches on the left and right exposed. The torn parts trembled in the wind. Shangguan Qingyue held his chin and stared at the piece of cloth in a trance.
[Where is Third Brother's divine root...]
As I was thinking, a day passed.
The sun went down and Shangguan Shu returned.
Return with a full load.
As soon as Shangguan Shu went out, he thought that although the trees were chopped down, the wild animals in the mountains would also die. So he went up the mountain, picked out some good wild animals from the burnt ones, and carried them to the market to sell them.
After earning some money, Shangguan Shu's first thought was to improve his daughter's food. He bought a fresh, hot roasted leg of lamb, some fresh milk and some candied fruits.
When Shangguan Qingyue saw his father coming back, he immediately stood up and rushed over, "Daddy, you're back, Yue'er missed you so much!"
The little guy rubbed his face against his father's legs. Shangguan Shu felt soft in his heart and stroked the back of Shangguan Qingyue's head, "Daddy bought you your favorite roasted lamb leg..."
Henglin had already cooked the meal. Shangguan Shu handed the lamb leg to Henglin. Henglin simply cut it and placed it on the plate. Shangguan Shu also warmed some milk for the little guy, who ate it happily.
After finishing the meal, Shangguan Shu was wiping Shangguan Qingyue's mouth when a familiar and hoarse voice sounded outside the door, "Excuse me..."
The sound stopped abruptly.
When the three of them heard the sound and looked, Shangguan Shu and Shangguan Qingyue were stunned.
Zhao Yao?
Aunt Huai'an...
Zhao Yao was still wearing the princess's court dress that she had worn in Chongqing Palace that night. However, this gorgeous and solemn court dress now looked even more tattered than Heng Lin's clothes. It was covered with mud and dirt, and it was dirty and torn.
His hair was a mess, like a chicken coop, with a few straws stuck in it...
Zhao Yao was leaning on a thick branch as a crutch, his body was hunched, his face was listless, his eyes were dark, and his lips were chapped. He looked so miserable, no less miserable than a beggar!
At first glance, Shangguan Shu didn't even dare to recognize her.
It was not until he saw Zhao Yao’s eyes wide open as if she had seen a ghost that Shangguan Shu was sure that it was really a narrow road for enemies to meet.
He was worried that he couldn't find her!
Shangguan Shu slowly put down the handkerchief, then asked Henglin to take good care of Yue'er. He walked to a corner of the yard, picked up the axe placed there, and walked out the door with an expressionless face.
Zhao Yao's eyes nearly popped out of her head when she saw this. She trembled and said, "Help...Help..."
Seeing Shangguan Shu coming towards her like a demon, Zhao Yao hurriedly threw away her crutches and turned around to run for her life.
Shangguan Shu sneered and chased after him.
Shangguan Qingyue's mouth opened like an egg.
This day is so lively...
Shangguan Qingyue looked at Henglin, "Uncle, carry me!!!"
…
She ran away, he chased her, she couldn't escape...
"Help! Someone, help! Help me!"
The hoarse cry for help was like a wolf's howl...
In the pitch-black valley, with no shelter at all, the axe in the man's hand behind him shone coldly in the moonlight.
In my ears, I could hear the whistling wind and the pounding heart caused by running.
When people are in desperate situations, they can unleash amazing potential.
Just like at this moment, Zhao Yao thought that she was almost starving to death and exhausted, but the moment she saw Shangguan Shu, she felt as if chicken blood was injected into her body and she became completely alive.
Even my heartbeat was beating like a drum.
In the past, my heart would flutter when I saw Shangguan Shu.
At this moment, seeing Shangguan Shu, it was like an old deer running for its life...
Zhao Yao was in tears.
[Host, host, hurry up! The male master is catching up! !]
The system will also be scared to death.
What bad luck! What bad luck! Why did she meet Shangguan Shu? If Shangguan Shu caught her, he would either chop Zhao Yao into meat paste or write her name upside down!
The system was afraid and couldn't help but sigh.
It remembered that a few months ago, it saw Zhao Yao snuggling in Shangguan Shu's arms. Shangguan Shu questioned her about the failure of her attempt to put a curse on Zhao Ying and Shangguan Shu's favoritism.
Unexpectedly, just a few months later, Shangguan Shu was chasing Zhao Yao all over the mountains with an axe...
Oh my god, what happened? Why did the plot collapse so quickly?
[Wait, wait! There's a cliff ahead! !]
Zhao Yao braked suddenly and stopped at the edge of the cliff.
The surroundings were pitch black, and she could only vaguely make out human figures, while the abyss beneath her feet was even darker.
Zhao Yao turned around with a pale face, and Shangguan Shu walked towards her slowly with a cold expression.
Half of the face faces the moonlight, and the other half is hidden in the darkness, which is dark and strange, and makes people shudder.
Zhao Yao stretched out her arms and yelled, "Don't come over here! If you come over here again, I'll jump!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was met with a light sneer from the other party.
Zhao Yao cried, "Runlang, why are you so cruel? You want to kill me!"
"Don't call me Runlang, that's not something someone like you deserves!"
Zhao Yao was stunned for a moment, her expression growing increasingly desperate. "Do you really not care about our past relationship at all?"
"Fellowship?" Shangguan Shu frowned, revealing an extremely disgusted expression. "The thought that I once had feelings for you makes me feel extremely disgusted!"
