Chapter 31: The Choice of Two Children
Crossing Shanxi, entering the Beizhili Prefecture, a large area of the contiguous area is directly under the jurisdiction of the Jingshi. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although it is a place under the jurisdiction of Jingshi, there is not much change in the environment, and you can still see poor people in tattered clothes and homeless on the road from time to time.
These poor people either dragged their children and daughters, or walked alone, and the expressions on their faces were mostly dull and dead.
Liu Shuangli looked at these poor people who were homeless and wandering around, recalled his past, and didn't know how to feel in his heart.
Liu Shuangxuan sighed, then remembered her current situation, looked back at Qin Siyang beside her, she couldn't help but think: Should she attribute herself and Qin Siyang to these poor people?
Think about it, how is it different from these poor people?
Now she is not the same homeless and wandering around. It's just that I was a little more lucky before, but I haven't reached the desperate situation of being penniless yet.
Liu Shuangli thought like this, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
After crossing Shanxi, Qin Siyang changed back into men's clothes as he wished. The pink daughter's dress didn't change to Liu Shuangli's body. Because it was really inconvenient to act, the boy knew the situation and did not insist.
It stands to reason that even if he didn't see Liu Shuangli wearing women's clothes, he might change into the women's clothes that had always annoyed him, and the boy should still be very happy. However, I don't know if Liu Shuangli is too distracted, but in the next few days, she found that the boy seemed to be more preoccupied, and his words became less and less day by day.
"Siyang, do you have anything on your mind?" Early in the morning, the two had just walked out of the inn where they had rested for the night, and Liu Shuangli saw that Qin Siyang was still sullen and didn't say a word, and finally couldn't help but ask.
Since the two entered the territory of Zhili, although Liu Shuangli still spends money very economically, he will always find an inn to spend the night at night. If she really can't find an inn, she would rather spend more money and find a family to spend a night, just so that the two of them will not be allowed to sleep in the wilderness.
Qin Siyang has no objection to Liu Shuangli's arrangement. Although they had slept in the wild for two months before, he was not afraid to return to that kind of life at all.
"Is there anything you can't tell me?" Seeing that Qin Siyang didn't reply, Liu Shuangli asked again.
"No!" Qin Si replied insincerely.
Liu Shuangli looked at Qin Siyang in disbelief.
Qin Siyang raised his head and stared at Liu Shuangli: "I'm nothing." It's you, Shuangli, haven't you been too cautious these days!"
"That's not possible. Liu Shuangli said.
"Are you afraid?" Qin Siyang asked.
"I don't want us to be reduced to ...... The way those people looked. Liu Shuangli bit his lip and said.
Qin Siyang's face sank again.
Liu Shuangli stared at the boy, was stunned for a while, and then said, "However, we can't go on like this." β
"What's the matter? The silver was spent so quickly, didn't Song Ye just give you ten taels of silver?"
"No matter how much money you have, there will always be a day when you run out. β
"When you run out of spending, you can just find something to do to make money. Qin Siyang said.
Liu Shuangli looked Qin Siyang up and down: "I think so, but what about you, Siyang?"
"Me?"
"You're still not used to doing ordinary people's work, are you?"
Qin Siyang was stunned.
"I know that you have always lived the life of a young master before, so when I lived at Mr. Chen's house, I didn't ask you to do more. When Liu Shuangli said this, he paused, stared at Qin Siyang and said, "Siyang, if you-you can, well, return to the life of the eldest young master, let's go." β
Liu Shuangli's words stopped here, and Qin Siyang looked at her blankly, and it took a while to react to the meaning of her words.
"You...... Want to drive me away?" Qin Siyang suddenly shouted, startling the pedestrians on the road to look at them curiously.
"Siyang!" Liu Shuangli pulled the boy past and said in a low voice, "What are you yelling about?" β
"You-" Qin Siyang clasped Liu Shuangli's hand with his backhand, and shouted a little carelessly, "I let you go at the beginning, but you insisted on following me." Now that it's not over, you're going to regret it. β
"No, Siyang. Liu Shuangli kept his voice to a low level and said, "We have left Shanxi now, and there is no portrait of you here." β
"You think I'm okay and want to abandon me?" Qin Siyang asked.
"Abandon?" Liu Shuangli wondered, not understanding why the boy would use such a serious word.
"Yes, abandon!" replied the boy earnestly.
"How is this abandonment?" Liu Shuang said bizarrely.
"Drive me away, not abandon, then what do you think?" Qin Siyang said angrily.
"Why did this drive you away?" Liu Shuangli really felt that the boy was a little unreasonable, "Siyang, out of Shanxi, you should be fine." As the saying goes, a long tent is built for a thousand miles - there is no feast that will never be dispersed. You still have relatives, don't you? I think you should go to them. β
The boy blushed and said, "Do you think it'll be okay if I go to them?"
"Isn't that. Liu Shuangli said assumedly.
"Yes, really!" the boy sneered suddenly, his dark eyes as deep as the sea, and his childlike face showed a look that was extremely inconsistent with his age, "If I say, I go to them, and all I get is a dead end!"
Liu Shuangli was stunned: "How come?"
"Yes. The boy still sneered.
Liu Shuangli didn't reply, and stared straight at the boy with a pair of eyes like blue waves.
"You don't believe it?" Qin Siyang asked rhetorically.
Liu Shuangli was stunned, and finally chose to shake his head.
"Don't yell at people, Siyang. Liu Shuangli said, "Even if it's a relative, how can it be ......?"
"You don't understand anything at all. The boy forcibly interrupted Liu Shuangli's words and shouted loudly. Such a loud voice once again startled the pedestrians on the road to look at them.
Seeing this, Liu Shuangli hurriedly pressed the emotional boy, pulled him to turn the official road in a hurry, and turned to a place where there was no one behind the forest.
Seeing that there was no one around, Liu Shuangli breathed a sigh of relief and said to the boy, "I don't understand the affairs of your rich and noble families, Siyang." But I think that even if you are a relative, no matter how unhappy you are with each other, you shouldn't see death without help. β
Hearing Liu Shuangli still speak like this, Qin Siyang's eyes suddenly turned red, he stomped his feet straight, and shouted, "They are not my relatives, they are not-"
"Siyang. Liu Shuangli hurriedly called out comfortingly.
Qin Siyang still stomped his feet emotionally.
Liu Shuangli looked at the boy and said that there was no inseparable continuation, but in the end, after getting along day and night for more than half a year, even the stone could give birth to feelings, let alone her!
But the two of them have different origins and backgrounds, although until now, she doesn't know which big family the boy is, but depending on the situation, it is certain that he is rich and powerful, otherwise it will not lead the government to investigate like this.
"Siyang," Liu Shuangli sighed lightly, "You can't follow me all the time." Your business is being hunted down like this. I- I don't understand what's going on. But I know that if I am hunted down like this again, I will not be able to save you anymore. β
"I don't need to. β
"What?"
"I don't need you to save me anymore. The boy finished speaking.
"Butβ"
"Don't worry, they'll kill me. β
"What?"
"As long as I don't go back, they'll treat me as dead and won't pay attention to me. β
"What does that mean?"
Qin Siyang didn't answer, paused, and then said, "Also, don't go to the capital." β
Liu Shuangli hadn't turned around for a while, and was stunned: "What?"
"Aren't you going in the direction you want to go to the capital?" replied the boy.
"Oh, yes, you found out. Liu Shuangli smiled.
"I want you not to go. "The boy is colorful.
"Why?" Liu Shuangli was even more surprised.
Qin Siyang was silent, and paused for a while before replying: "The person who wants to kill me is there." β
Liu Shuangli was really stunned this time.
"Is thisβwhat's going on?"
"The place where I used to live was in the capital. The boy continued.
"And who are?"
"They drove them to Shanxi. β
Liu Shuangli thought about it for a while, nodded and said, "Well, you seem to have said before, your father drove you to Shanxi, and your mother wanted to follow, but your father didn't allow it, and your mother was still sick because of this." β
"Yes!"
"That's the case, your mother is sick, shouldn't you go back to the capital to see her?" Liu Shuang said bizarrely.
"No, I don't. β
"Why?" Liu Shuangli was a little puzzled.
The boy turned his face away.
"Siyang?" Liu Shuangli called softly.
After a long time, the boy's voice came from the side: "The teacher said that my mother can't escape." They wouldn't let her go. β
"Who won't let it go?" Liu Shuangli asked, "Could it be that those people who want to kill you are also doing something to your mother-"
"Well, sort of. The boy bowed his head.
Liu Shuangli was stunned again, and said after a while: "That Siyang, your mother is like this, how can you-"
"It's useless. The boy's voice was painful and weak.
"Siyang!" Liu Shuangli stepped forward and hugged the boy.
She could understand the boy's powerless feelings.
After a long time, Qin Siyang raised his head, looked at Liu Shuangli, and said, "I'm as homeless as you." β
"Oh-" Liu Shuangli nodded passively in response, and paused before saying, "That Siyang, do you want to?"
"Follow you. β
The sky is blue, the trees are green, and the grass is green.
Due to years of disrepair, the official road that has been very uneven blows a gentle breeze with a fresh earthy smell.
"But I want to go to the capital, Siyang. Liu Shuangli sighed lightly.
"No!" the boy instinctively objected.
"The capital is a place that everyone wants to see. Liu Shuangli smiled bitterly.
Qin Siyang immediately retorted: "What is there to aspire to there, isn't it that there are more houses than elsewhere, and they are a little taller, and the others are not the same." β
"Siyang!" Liu Shuangli still smiled wryly.
"Don't go to the capital, okay?" the boy begged again.
"So where are we going?" asked Liu Shuangli.
"Except for the capital and Shanxi, you can do anything. β
"Okay!" Liu Shuangli looked up at the blue sky, and said for a long time, "Since we don't go to see the places where there are houses, then let's go to the prairie, okay?"
"Prairie? That's a scene that only exists outside the plug. β
"Well, yes!"
"If we meet the Mongols, we will be killed. Qin Siyang said.
"It's not good. Liu Shuangli sighed, "If only there was no war between us and the Mongolians." β
"It can't be. Qin Siyang immediately denied.
Liu Shuangli smiled weakly, took the boy's hand and said, "Let's go." β
"Where are you going?" Qin Siyang asked.
"I can't go to the grassland, but I still want to go to the border to have a look, it should be about the same. Liu Shuangli replied.
"Go to the border? You want to die. Qin Siyang said in a sullen voice.
"Are you afraid?" Liu Shuangli laughed.
"If you are not human, you will not be afraid of death. Qin Siyang retorted.
"yes, I'm not human. Liu Shuangli pretended to smile relaxedly.
"I didn't meanβ"
"I know. Liu Shuangli interrupted the boy.
Qin Siyang was stunned for a moment, stared at Liu Shuangli and said, "Shuangli, do you mean it really?
Liu Shuangli smiled, pulled the boy and explained as he walked, "It's true." I remember that Mr. Chen said that his daughter married in Xuanhua, and his son was in Jizhou before. Before he died, Mr. Chan asked me to look for his son. I thought, I don't have a place to go anyway, so I might as well go to those two places, and if I'm lucky, I might be able to find some clues. Therefore, I think no matter what, I have to go to those two places once, which can be regarded as living up to Mr. Chen's dying entrustment. β
Qin Siyang was silent for a long time before asking, "You have decided?"
"Hmm!" Liu Shuangli nodded and said, "That's the border fortress place, and Mongolian people can appear at any time, Siyang, are you afraid?"
Qin Siyang replied: "You're not afraid, what am I afraid of." β
Liu Shuangli smiled approvingly: "Yes, he is a good man." β
