Chapter 9
In the light curtain, a figure fell quietly and quietly. The warm sunlight at noon passed through the window paper and gently fell on the cheeks of the sleeping person. Perhaps because he felt the light, his crow-like eyelashes trembled and slowly lifted upwards, revealing a pair of misty eyes.
He reached out and rubbed his eyes. Wen Tian was a little confused. He turned his head and looked around. It was not the environment he was familiar with. He sat up with his elbows on his bed. Wen Tian hooked up the falling curtain and poked out half of his body to look at the strange room.
The last memory of last night was that Chu Xiangtian put him on the bed, Chu Xiangtian... When he thought of this name, Wen Tian immediately raised his ears vigilantly, stared at the front and back of the room like a frightened rabbit.
There are not many things in the room, and they look a little simple. The only special thing is that everything is arranged particularly neatly, so it also looks extremely neat.
This should be a man's room.
Wen Tian moved his legs and wanted to get out of bed and go outside to take a look. As soon as he moved, his wide collar slid down from his shoulders, revealing half of his chest. Wen Tian pulled the collar awkwardly, and then he noticed that he was not wearing his own clothes.
According to the situation last night, it was probably Chu Xiangtian who changed it for him, and even this room might be Chu Xiangtian's. Wen Tian bit his lip and tried not to think too much, and reorganized the clothes on his body.
The black midi was much bigger. Wen Tian tied the laces around his waist to the tightest, and rolled up the sleeves three times before revealing his wrist.
Holding the bed post, Wen Tian tentatively stepped on his feet to the ground. The soles of his feet were still a little blunt and his toes curled up. Wen Tian tried to put on his shoes and stepped on one foot to the ground.
But he overestimated his ability to withstand. The wound on his feet rubbed against the gauze. He burst into tears in an instant. He took a breath of cold air. Wen Tian stood with one foot on his back, but his other foot was not daring to fall down.
"Wen Tian, I'll put..."
Chu Xiangtian, who was pushing the door, suddenly silenced and stared at the person beside the bed.
Wen Tian was wearing his middle clothes, and his waist-thick black hair spread out on his shoulders. His delicate locks were half-covered and half-exposed. His misty eyes were filled with tears in his eyes. He grabbed the bed post and looked at him pitifully.
Chu Xiangtian slid his throat, strode over and picked him up and placed him on the bed, his tone was half blame and half distressed, "You have an injury on your feet."
Wen Tian twisted uneasyly, but looked behind him, "Daifu?!"
Dai Fu, who followed Chu Xiangtian up the mountain, walked over, "Young Master, what's wrong with you?"
Chu Xiangtian opened his mouth to explain, but Wen Tian spoke first, "I fell accidentally."
He skipped the middle process, but Dai Fu had no doubts and looked around him up and down, and then said with some distress: "Young Master, you have lost weight."
Wen Tian bent his eyes and asked him why he had gone up the mountain, "How is your home?"
Dai Fu said: "It was Chu's family who brought me up. The family... the family is not very good."
When the Wen family learned that Wen Tian was kidnapped, the Wen family immediately reported it to the official, but when the government heard that it was a bandit robber from Xishantou, it began to push and stop it. After two days of delay, it refused to send troops to rescue people.
Fu Youqin was worried about Wen Tian's safety. At first, she wanted to spend money to hire someone to rescue her, but Wen Boli stopped her and said that it was too dangerous to fight against the bandits. It would be better to wait. But Wen Tian was in the mountains and did not know where Fu Youqin could wait. She got angry at her husband, who could not see any anxiety, and then took her servants to carry the government's debts and forced her to the door.
The Fu family's industries are spread throughout Nanming County. One-third of the fertile land in Sifang Town and Lehe Town are the Fu family's industries. Every year, the tax revenue of the two towns is insufficient, so the Fu family makes up for the gaps.
It sounds nice when borrowing food, but when it is really critical, everyone is unwilling to get into trouble. How can there be such a good thing in the world?
Fu Youqin took the butler and carried two boxes of account books and blocked the door one by one. If you don’t save people, you will pay back the money. However, these debts have been owed since Fu Youqin’s father’s generation. Now, I don’t know how much it has accumulated, so how can I afford it?
There was no choice but to be forced to report to the county magistrate together, and then borrowed troops to encircle and suppress Xishanzhai.
Wen Tian had long expected this result, but what he didn't expect was that Wen Boli was even colder than he thought.
He smiled mockingly, and Wen Tian asked Wen Shuyue, "Where is sister? Is she... okay?"
After so many days, Dai Fu must have explained all Jiao Changxian's actions. With Wen Shuyue's personality, he will inevitably be sad. There are also rumors in the town that good things do not go out and bad things spread thousands of miles. Even if the Wen family voluntarily breaks the engagement, their reputation is still not very good to the woman.
"Miss is caring for the family." Wen Shuyue is stronger than Wen Tian imagined. Dai Fu said: "After going back that day, the wife and the master were busy running to the government. The lady was caring for the family. However, the Jiao family members came twice and were locked outside the door by the lady."
"That's good." Wen Tian finally showed a sincere smile and asked Dai Fu to help him up. "Is the car ready? Let's go back quickly."
In Xishan Village for so many days, he was worried about his life, but he was most worried about his mother and sister.
"I have asked Chang Xi to prepare the carriage and horses, please wait a little longer." Chu Xiangtian next to him suddenly spoke.
Wen Tian paused, and he calmed down a little. After a while of silence, he still thanked Chu Xiangtian in a low voice: "Thank you."
Chu Xiangtian looked weird and was quite amused and cried. He reached out and patted Wen Tian on his head, "It's me who deserves to thank him."
Wen Tian awkwardly avoided his hand and held Dai Fu's eyes and looked outside anxiously and expectantly.
Chu Xiangtian, who had originally wanted to keep people for a while, had to call Chang Xi, who was waiting. Chang Xi drove the carriage to the door, and Wen Tian in the room, his eyes lit up when he heard the sound of the horse.
"The carriage is ready, let's go." Chu Xiangtian bent down and picked up the man. Wen Tian subconsciously grabbed the clothes on his chest, "I can leave myself."
Chu Xiangtian picked him up and walked out, "Your injury has not healed, don't show off."
Wen Tian bit his lip and said nothing. Dai Fu didn't think something was wrong at all, and followed the two of them happily.
There was a soft mattress in the carriage, and two plates of pastries were placed on the table in the middle, which was specially prepared by Chu Xiangtian. He put Wen Tian in the innermost place and sat down, put down the curtain, and drove Chang Xi down. Chu Xiangtian drove the carriage down the mountain himself.
The mountain road was bumpy, but fortunately I put on a mattress in advance, and Wen Tian leaned against the inside, so he didn't suffer much from the bumpy ones.
When the carriage reached the foot of Xishantou Mountain, there was still a carriage waiting. Fu Youqin heard the movement, lifted the curtain and saw Chu Xiangtian and her party. Her face was a little anxious and happy, and she called out "Youling" in a trembling voice.
Hearing a familiar voice, Wen Tian, who was dozing off against the car wall, suddenly became energetic. He lay by the window and looked at his mother. Both mother and son were unconsciously red.
Fu Youqin wiped her tears with a handkerchief and asked Yun and his servant to drive the car for Wen Tian, "Let's send it here."
Chu Xiangtian couldn't sit steadily and politely refused, "Madam, you have to be polite. I said I would send Master Wen back in person." He deliberately made the word "in person" very heavy, giving Fu Youqin no room for rejection.
Worried about the emergence of the festival, Fu Youqin did not persist anymore and put down the curtain and let the groom drive to lead the way.
Two carriages headed to Sifang Town one after another.
