Chapter 266 "Please speak."
In his memories, Shen Sinian confirmed again and again that he was indeed attracted to her.
Until the sun set, Yin Wanshu finished her meal and found some time to sneak to the backyard.
She secretly brought two steamed buns and some bacon. Of course, she was not sure whether he was awake, but at that time she just wanted to do more for him.
It was the same footsteps, Shen Sinian could tell it was her, so he didn't pretend this time.
He leaned against the haystack, as if waiting for her to appear.
Yin Wanshu was relaxed before she opened the door and came in, but after she came in, she was petrified.
She was confused and completely stunned.
She wasn't sure if he would wake up, but when she saw him wake up, she was a little overwhelmed.
His eyes seemed to be examining her, but there was something else in between.
"You...are you awake?"
She was a little nervous. It wasn't as simple as her saving him at this moment.
Her voice was so beautiful, as gentle as a stream, flowing into his heart.
She saved him, so she is his savior.
"You saved me."
What he said was an affirmative sentence, but it also had a question tone to it, and his voice carried the flavor of masculine hormones, perhaps because of his military background which brought with it a certain reverberation.
Yin Wanshu lowered her head in embarrassment and took out two steamed buns and some bacon from her handkerchief:
"I didn't know you were awake, so I didn't prepare anything for you."
Being alive is a blessing. It is indeed unusual for an ordinary family to be able to eat bacon in times of war.
She was a student at a girls' school. Judging from her behavior and the structure of the warehouse, one could tell that her family must have once been a wealthy family.
Indeed, the Yin family was a wealthy family. Her grandfather was once the most famous businessman in town, but her father preferred literature so he did not take over the family business.
Later, when their grandfather passed away and the family fell into poverty, they became middle class.
But a lean camel is bigger than a horse, so you won’t be so poor that you can’t afford to eat.
Shen Sinian took the steamed bun and looked at her with drooping eyebrows and flushed cheeks.
She looked charming, like a dragonfly skimming the water and causing ripples.
"Where is this?"
He was not aware of the situation outside, and perhaps the Shen family army thought he had been killed. He needed to recover quickly and go back to kill the traitor with his own hands.
"My warehouse."
She thought he was asking where, so her first reaction was to answer the location.
Indeed, she is a bit simple.
“I asked what the village was called?”
Is she sure she is a student from a girls' school? Why is her comprehension ability so poor?
How could he blame her? It was him who didn't ask clearly.
"Shiba Town."
Shiba Town?
He had never heard of this name before. Was he sure this was the area under his jurisdiction?
The Shen family army has occupied a large territory, including the mountain they had occupied before, but now it is a period of scramble and it is still unclear who will own it.
"What's your name?"
He raised his eyelids and looked at her, then ate the steamed bun and the meat one bite at a time.
Yin Wanshu had never dealt with any soldiers, and of course had never come into contact with a man like him.
"Yin Wanshu."
This name suits her very well, it means gentleness and kindness, and it has the meaning of gurgling water.
"Shen Sinian."
His name was sensitive now, but he said it anyway.
She is very simple and he is very frank.
He knew she would not harm him, because she had saved him with her little power, and she remembered it in her heart.
The name Shen Sinian is not unfamiliar. People are looking for him now, and there is a reward of 5000 oceans.
"I know."
She responded quietly, she knew he was not expecting it, but after thinking about it, she decided it shouldn't be a surprise.
"Is there someone out there looking for me?"
Fu Sinian was a meticulous and clear-headed man. He knew that the other party would not give up easily before seeing his body.
"Who are they?"
Yin Wanshu has no idea about the current situation. She only reads the Four Books and Five Classics and doesn't worry about national affairs at all. Especially now is a time of competition and it is not her place to intervene.
She was one of the happy ones, but of course she was just an ordinary person and there was no need to care so much.
Fu Sinian thought for a moment:
"Another warlord wants to annex us."
"Annexation? Why?"
She is really so simple. Doesn’t she understand the rule of the jungle?
But she just doesn’t understand. She doesn’t understand that it’s okay for everyone to be happy. Why should they fight?
Shen Sinian always talked to her in the most understandable way, because she was too naive and could not hear the mystery in his words.
"greedy."
Yes, it's all because of greed.
Most people and things in this world are caused by greed. Greed makes everyone show their ugly face.
Yin Wanshu seemed to understand, not quite sure whether she understood or not. The world outside was really just as her elder brother had described.
"Who else is in your family?"
"My father and I."
"Just you two?"
"I have two older brothers and one older sister, but they rarely come back because they are all working in town."
After Shen Sinian finished eating, Yin Wanshu quickly poured some water for him.
It seemed natural for her to take care of him, like she was used to it.
It's like picking up a stray kitten or puppy and it naturally becomes yours.
Yin Wanshu had taken care of him for many days, so her concern became a natural thing.
Shen Sinian was surprised by her unintentional action.
He felt a feeling he had never felt before and naturally put himself in the role of her husband.
She took care of him when he was injured and even planned their life after marriage.
Her skin is delicate, like peeled egg white, and it is so tender that it can be broken with a touch.
Shen Siyan coughed and pulled himself out of his dirty thoughts:
"Is anyone still outside?"
He was talking about those who wanted to kill him. Yin Wanshu recalled:
"There are some people guarding the entrance to the village, checking everyone one by one."
They will not give up until they find Shen Sinian. Killing him will cut off the roots of the Shen family warlords.
Now Shen Zhongyi is also deeply trapped in the situation and is surrounded by enemies. He receives the news that Shen Sinian's life or death is unknown, which is like a bolt from the blue.
Shen Zhongyi is now in his sixties, and he is willing but unable to lead troops in battle.
Shen Sinian was once his last hope, but his whereabouts are still unknown. Now it is easy to defeat Shen's army.
Although Shen Sinian had a narrow escape from death, he was not yet able to get out. He had to recuperate well and return to the Governor's Mansion one day to regroup.
Now that he knows his father's situation, he is also very worried:
"Can you help me with something?"
Yin Wanshu was stunned. She was powerless and had no ability to help him.
"please say."
"You...forget it."
Fu Sinian wanted her to deliver a letter to her father, but no one knew who the traitor was in the Governor's Office, and she would be implicated if she went.
He couldn't let her be in danger. Defending the country was a man's job, so how could he let her do things for him?
