Chapter 243: The crowd looked for her and suddenly looked back
After four or five days of snow, the weather finally cleared, and it was the last snow of the winter, and then it slowly began to warm up, followed by the arrival of early spring.
Because of the snow, Yao Zheng and Yan did not go back, although Yan kept saying that he wanted to go back quickly, and even wanted to persuade Yao Shi to go back with him again, but in the end he was persuaded by Yao Shi.
Seeing that the sky was clear and the sun was out, Yao Shi was very happy, and took Yan and Lan Xin out together, saying that they were going to go shopping on the street.
Yan Shi didn't agree: "I have nothing to do when I am old, and I don't play the things that you young people play, and I don't add grease and powder to add clothes, I have everything to eat and drink here, and there is nothing to shop."
If you really can't be idle, you will take Lan Xin with you, and your mother is in the house, and you don't want to go anywhere. ”
Yao Xian originally wanted to take her for a walk around Beijing before Yan left, after all, the bustling and lively city in Beijing was still worth seeing. It's just that Yan refuses to go out, she has no choice, so she has to go out with Lan Xin, how to say that she has been lying in bed for nearly two months, she has already suffocated.
As soon as she arrived on the street, Lan Xin was like a pony that had been locked up for a long time and suddenly released, looking around happily, chattering with Yao Shi about all kinds of fun and beautiful things, very excited.
Yao Xian just had a faint smile on her face, listening to Lan Xin's words, sometimes responding to two sentences, but most of the time, she didn't speak.
Lan Xin simply couldn't see that the smile on her face did not reach the bottom of her eyes, but if someone looked at it, she could detect that this gentle girl who was smiling on the outside actually contained a subtle storm in her eyes, which was not easy to detect, but was brewing.
Lan Xin stopped in front of a jewelry stall, looking at this for a while, and touching that for a while. Yao Yan glanced at her, bowed his head slightly and blended in the crowd, and disappeared after a few quick turns.
When Lan Xin came back to his senses, Yao Xi had long been absent from the crowd, and Lan Xin was so frightened that she shouted all the way down the street, anxious, worried and afraid, and cried anxiously, of course, this is all a later story.
Yao Shi on Shuncheng Street once came, and she came unintentionally at that time, and there is a fairly big Wang family here, which is the one that was a gold leaf last time.
She walked into the dangxing, perhaps because of winter, there were few people in the dangxing, sitting scattered left and right, and when she saw Yao Yan coming in, she glanced at it, and then retracted her gaze, but it was just a group of boring people waiting for money.
Yao Yan walked to the counter, casually took out a thumb-sized gold leaf with exquisite carving from the cuff, handed it to the shopkeeper and said, "Shopkeeper, just make a price, I'm in a hurry to use the money." ”
The shopkeeper stretched out his hand to take the object in Yao Yan's hand, took a closer look, glanced at Yao Yan with a strange face, and said with a smile: "Wait a minute, girl, the little eyes are clumsy, you have to let our big shopkeeper take a look at the goods." ”
"Don't look at it---- you can just give the money, I only need one tael, how can this thing be worth seven or eight taels." Yao Yan said very casually.
"This -----" The shopkeeper glanced at Yao Shi in embarrassment, but the latter had an indifferent expression.
He hesitated slightly, but finally took out a tael of silver from the cabinet behind him, weighed it on the weighing pan and showed it to Yao Shi, and then handed the silver to Yao Shi.
Yao Yan didn't look at it, took the silver and put it in his sleeve, then turned his head and left, chic and a little decisive, Zhuang Yan had warned her, this thing can't be used for a second time, she wants to see, what else can that person do, he left his life this time, after all, he has to keep it and use it again.
Just now he threw off Lan Xin on Babao Street, and Yao Xi pondered that it was better to go to Babao Street to find it. In fact, she didn't guard against Lan Xin, she just felt that there was no need to let Lan Xin know. She and Zhuang Yan, even her father just knew, and no one knew about it except her father.
As soon as he walked out of Shuncheng Street, Yao Shi saw a man with disheveled hair and drunken wine walking over.
The man was still carrying a pot of wine in his hand, stumbling and staggering, and was about to bump into it, Yao Xian hurriedly turned sideways and got out of the way, but the man still stumbled and tripped under his feet.
Yao Xi didn't care about or care about this kind of person, and was about to leave with an expressionless face, but suddenly heard the person muttering something, and there was a sudden pause under her feet, and she looked at the person on the ground who didn't know whether she had fainted or fallen asleep in disbelief.
The man was still lying on the ground and muttering unconsciously, Yao Xian's expression changed suddenly, and he squatted down to pick up the wet and dirty hair that the man was holding on his face.
Pale, craggy, with deep-set eye sockets, stubble on his face, dark green corners of his eyes and mouth, at first glance, he had been beaten, and the brocade robe on his body had changed color, dirty and rotten, and the handsome young man who was originally high-spirited now looked like he had just crawled out of the pile of dead.
The young man was still talking about something, the smell of wine on his face, Yao Yan's eyes hurt for a while, she looked at the young man on the ground, her face was already wet but she didn't know it, and she didn't know how long it took before she called softly.
"Habit dyeing ----"
Xin Xiran's motionless body shook suddenly, his eyes were closed, tears kept sliding down the corners of his eyes, and he choked as he slid and choked: "Want---- I can see your shadow everywhere now, and I can hear your voice at any time, what do you say I should do?"
When he finished speaking, he covered his face and began to cry.
A young man who looked crazy and dirty was lying on the street crying bitterly, and anyone who walked by couldn't help but look at it a few times, and after a while, people had already formed a small circle.
Yao Yan felt sad for a while, helped Xin Xiran to stand up, pulled the wound on his abdomen, and his face turned pale with pain.
Xin Xiran was already drunk for eight or nine minutes, and he felt in a daze that someone was supporting him, and his crying turned into a whisper of mourning.
"Excuse ----- Qiu Zhan----- I'm sorry for you. ”
Yao Xian's nose was sore, and the tears that were easy to endure began to pour out again, and she laboriously helped Xin Xiran to sit under the eaves of a small alley, looking at the bruises and mud on Xin Xiran's face, and she was sad.
Why torture yourself, the dead are gone, but the living are tormented.
She saw that there was a stone trough under the eaves that connected the water from the eaves, so she took a handkerchief to wet it, and came to carefully wipe Xin Xiran's face clean.
The cold touch made Xin Xiran conscious a little, he opened his eyes that were still a little hazy, looked at Yao Xi in confusion, and after a long time, he stretched out his hand tremblingly, tentatively, cautiously, and touched his warm and smooth cheeks.
His hands were very cold, Yao Yan noticed that his hands were already red and swollen from the cold, and the hands that were pampered in the past could no longer be found, and the high-spirited young man in the past could no longer be found. What he's been through these days.
Xin Xiran was a little flustered, frightened, and happily looked at Yao Shi, and touched his fingertips lightly, yes, this feeling is real, he is not dreaming, and there is no auditory hallucination, at this moment, in front of him, the real is his sister Yao.
With this realization in his mind, he withdrew his hand almost in the blink of an eye, then got up and ran away.
"Xi Ran -----" Yao Yan shouted, but Xin Xi Ran still didn't want to drill into the alley. Yao Xi had to hurry up and catch up.
Fortunately, this is a dead alley, and there is no way to run at the end, Xin Xiran looked at the wall blocking the road, and was about to climb over the wall when he raised his breath.
Yao Xi had already caught up with him, and she ran forward panting, grabbing Xin Xi's dyed clothes.
