Chapter 33 The master is in the people
Xu Xiaoman is accustomed to all kinds of fortifications in the city or master's workplace, she doesn't know that in most villages in China, few people will always stick their own courtyard doors, everyone is like this, and there is never anything special to take precautions. Chasing the reckless wasteland, you have to be quick.
Even like Qi Yu, a little girl who can't see with her eyes, has always been like this when she is alone at home.
The footsteps of Chen Peng or Zheng Han, Qi Yu has long been familiar with them, if it is those familiar neighbors, she can accurately determine who it is by their footsteps, and she will rarely admit her mistakes, and everyone will be surprised for a long time.
Of course, a little girl who is blind, what else can she use except her ears and her senses?
Qi Yu could also tell from the footsteps whether the strangers who came to her house for the first time were men or women.
Like Xu Xiaoman, who came this time, she heard the sound of light footsteps stepping on high heels, which formed a stark contrast with the sound of Chen Peng's slightly heavy leather shoes falling to the ground, that is not to be thought, it must be a young woman, and it is impossible to call her sister after all.
Xu Xiaoman knew that when he watched martial arts in the past, there were some descriptions of people who lost their eyes, saying that such people used their sense of hearing and smell to give the enemy a more powerful attack.
To paraphrase a proverb that everyone on earth knows, it is called: God closes a door to anyone, and he will surely open a window for him.
Chen Peng asked Qi Yu to come out to greet them, but it was just a very normal state of life for Qi Yu: in all the areas of the small courtyard, Qi Yu could already advance and retreat freely, and there would be no mistakes.
Moreover, for people living in the countryside, guests come to the house, or Taobao distinguished guests, the most grand welcome is of course the whole family to come out to greet them.
Qi Yu's answer made Chen Peng very dissatisfied, he muttered something, and then went straight to the kitchen with his things, Xu Xiaoman knew that he was in a hurry to wash vegetables and cook.
Heizi had already run to the door of the kitchen, his two front legs together, stretched out his body and lay there with blazing eyes, looking at Chen Pengcai to take vegetables and fish and other ingredients outside in his bag, Chen Pengcai smiled and said to Xu Xiaoman: "Look at this guy, he is spying on me, afraid that I will steal it myself." ”
Looking at the bright appearance of the sunspot, Xu Xiaoman couldn't help but laugh, thinking that Qi Yu had already said on the phone that she was hungry, and she didn't wait for Chen Peng to greet her, so she took it upon herself to carry the bag of snacks and walked to the room where Qi Yu was talking.
She was also a little curious, what kind of sister would Chen Peng, who looked confused, have?
"Hello sister, please come and sit down. ”
Hearing the footsteps coming in, Qi Yu hurriedly put down the things in his hand and groped to stand up from a small workbench, sure enough, it was the thin and weak Xu Xiaoman felt, and his delicate little face was full of shy smiles.
Xu Xiaoman looked at the thing that was put down by Qi Yu in surprise, she couldn't believe that Qi Yu was actually carving, carving an imitation ivory seal.
A boxy seal that has been carved to more than half of it, and what words are on it, Xu Xiaoman really couldn't recognize it for a while.
A small carving knife with a bright and sharp blade was placed in Qi Yu's hand, and the handle was wrapped with red velvet rope, judging from the degree of wear and tear of those velvet ropes, that carving knife didn't know how long it had been used?
Is there any mistake? A blind girl can do jade carving, can carve seals, this and this...... This also ...... It's incredible, it's shocking, isn't it?
Xu Xiaoman felt that she had really seen it.
Sure enough, the master is in the folk!
No wonder Chen Peng complained loudly as soon as he entered the door, asking if his sister was carving the knife again, to be honest, Xu Xiaoman really didn't understand the meaning of Chen Peng's words at the time, and now he understands.
"Hello...... Uh, I didn't bother you, did I?"
Xu Xiaoman was suddenly a little at a loss, no wonder Qi Yu said that she just waited a minute, she came in so recklessly? Did she destroy the kind of concentration that is necessary when carving a blind girl?
A person who cannot see with his eyes is convinced that in doing this kind of work, she must use all her full attention.
Qi Yu still maintained that shy smile, and his eyes looked blankly in the direction of Xu Xiaoman's voice: "No, I'm already fine...... I didn't go out to greet my sister, so don't be angry. ”
Xu Xiaoman had already put the things in her hand on the workbench in front of Qi Yu, and she couldn't hide her curiosity: "You...... Can you carve?"
Qi Yu grabbed the seal that had completed the three words with his slender hand and smiled embarrassedly: "Let my sister see and laugh, I haven't gotten it for a long time, I learned to play with my grandfather since I was a child...... A long time ago, my grandfather was specially carved for people, these days is really boring, my brother said that I have been several times, he is afraid that I will hurt my fingers. ”
Xu Xiaoman looked at Qi Yu, who was thin and thin, and her face was full of timidity, and she didn't know when she was talking about a long time ago?
And when did she become blind in both eyes?
Xu Xiaoman couldn't ask these questions, so he had to ask with a smile: "Qi Yu...... Can you show me what you're carving?"
Qi Yu said shyly: "I passed the time, I didn't do well." ”
As she spoke, she fumbled and put the seal in her hand on the table and pushed it towards Xu Xiaoman.
Xu Xiaoman first took out a box of chocolates and put them in Qi Yu's hand: "You're hungry, let's eat a few chocolates first." ”
Qi Yu couldn't help but grasp the box of chocolates tightly, and her little face was full of joy: "Thank you, sister...... I haven't eaten chocolate in a long time. ”
Seeing Qi Yu so happy, Xu Xiaoman was very happy, and she hurriedly said to Qi Yu: "I'll help you take it apart." ”
Qi Yu smiled gratefully and said, "Thank you, sister, just help me take it apart, sister, is there anything you can give to the sunspot?"
Chen Peng immediately responded outside: "I'm cooking pork liver for Heizi, it'll be fine soon, don't spoil your snacks." ”
Xu Xiaoman couldn't help laughing, reached out and took the chocolate box in Qi Yu's hand, tore it neatly, and took out a piece of chocolate and put it in Qi Yu's hand: "Qi Yu, if you like it, eat more, you can replenish body calories, you are too thin." ”
Qi Yu raised his face slightly and said quickly: "I can also eat, but I can't eat fat......"
As he spoke, he sat down and fumbled to tear open the chocolate wrapper, and began to bite into the chocolate in small bites, making a soft gnawing sound in his mouth.
Looks like she's really hungry.
Xu Xiaoman didn't know what Qi Yu meant by saying this in a hurry, and always felt that her words contained the meaning of defending Chen Peng, probably afraid that Xu Xiaoman would suspect that her brother did not take good care of her.
She stretched out her hand to pick up the seal carved by Qi Yu and looked at it, but she was really scolding Chen Peng in her heart: What a super bastard big brother, willing to spend money on other women, don't you know how to buy more snacks for your sister?
Look at how hungry this little girl is, and what about this little poor girl who has been stuck in 59 years?
However, after all, she is not familiar with Sister Chen, so she can only slander in her heart.
She believed that Qi Yu had already sensed her meaning.
Looking at Qi Yu's delicate and sensitive little face, Xu Xiaoman knew that she and Chen Peng would not be people with the same personality, this was a girl with a very heavy heart.
Children who are sensible too early are pessimists, Qi Yu is so thin, if it is not a business problem, it is too much to think about.
Xu Xiaoman actually didn't have any research on seals or anything, holding the seal carved by Qi Yu, he only felt that the traces of the carving knife were particularly uniform, not chaotic and disorganized as imagined, and the few anti-body characters that had been formed were very decent.
"It's amazing, it's incredible......"
Xu Xiaoman really didn't know what to say, so he could only praise it repeatedly.
Qi Yu couldn't help laughing: "Sister, you must be surprised that I can't see with my eyes, and I can still carve, right?"
Xu Xiaoman hurriedly said: "I heard your brother say that there is still hope for your eyes, but you can carve such a beautiful seal without seeing with your eyes, and in the future, your eyes will be better, and you must be a super gold and stone carver." ”
Qi Yu shook his head slowly: "My eyes ...... It's been almost ten years since the fundus of the eye was broken...... There is no hope. ”
When Xu Xiaoman saw Qi Yu say this, there was no sadness or sadness on her face, which shows that she has accepted the fact that she is blind in her eyes, and she is used to it.
She couldn't help but gasp a little and wonder, what is the obstacle for a person who can even carve a seal by feeling?
However, Xu Xiaoman still couldn't help but say: "Don't be discouraged, now that medical technology is so developed, as long as you have money, there will definitely be hope." ”
Qi Yu smiled slightly, and said softly, "Thank you, sister...... If I had money, my eyes wouldn't have missed the best treatment opportunities, and our family didn't have that much money. ”
After Qi Yu finished speaking, he urged his head down, and Xu Xiaoman suddenly felt very sad in his heart.
This girl is young after all, and she talks a lot, and some sadness and disappointment will still be involuntarily revealed.
She suddenly realized that she shouldn't always be entangled with Qi Yu on these heavier topics, after all, she was a passer-by who met them in Pingshui, could she have any practical use for saying these nonsense words in addition to making people more discouraged?
Let's quickly change the subject and say something else.
Thinking of this, Xu Xiaoman smiled at Qi Yu: "I believe that your brother will definitely have a way in the future...... Qi Yu, have you ever read a book? Did you write the words on the seal yourself?"
Although there is nothing to say, this is also something that Xu Xiaoman is very curious about.
A blind girl who can't see with her eyes, how did she write anti-characters on the seal?
Although Qi Yu's eyes couldn't see, the girl's senses were extremely keen, she seemed to be able to capture other people's emotions by feeling, and she was very aware of the surprise of this young sister who came to their house with her brother for the first time.
She looked quiet and replied somewhat intermittently, "Yes...... But I didn't graduate from junior high school...... I couldn't see with my eyes, so I had to drop out of school......"
