Chapter 6: Secrets
After sending Su Fangkite away, Zhang Xu's hurriedly went out, Su Qi leaned on the door frame and looked at Zhang Xu's back, slightly hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled silently. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Xiao Qi, I have something I want to ask you. Xiao Jiu's solemn words came from behind him.
Su Qi immediately put away a smile that was extremely inconsistent with her age, and looked at Xiao Jiu with a confused expression: "What's wrong?"
Xiao Jiu slowly approached Su Qi, looking at the little girl in front of him who had lived with him for three years with wide eyes, her expression was a little apprehensive and a little tangled, as if she was hesitating to speak.
"Do you think I've changed?"
Xiao Jiu bowed his head slightly, he felt that something was wrong with Xiao Qi from the day Starling disappeared, he didn't care about it at first, but in the last few days, he became more and more incomprehensible, and after Fangcao went home, he finally couldn't hold back and ask the question in his heart.
It's not just a change, it's like a different person! But Xiao Jiu didn't say this, he wanted to know what kind of answer Su Qi would give him.
"Xiao Jiu, I don't want to hide it from you, you ...... It must be someone I can trust, right?" After all the things in her previous life, Su Qi really didn't dare to trust anyone anymore, which was why she didn't take the initiative to mention to Xiao Jiu that she was reliving her life. But looking at Xiao Jiu in front of him, who was serious but couldn't hide his concern, thinking of how well he treated him in his past life and this life, Su Qi suddenly wanted to be honest with Xiao Jiu.
Xiao Jiu bowed his head again, and at the same time pulled Su Qi into the house, confirming that there was no third person nearby to signal Su Qi to speak.
"I know it's incredible, but ...... I was indeed burned to death by fire, but I didn't expect to open my eyes again and return to when I was eight years old......" Su Qi took a deep breath and told all the experiences of his previous life and the inexplicable rebirth, and when he talked about Su Fangyuan's various words before her death, Su Qi couldn't help but cry.
After listening to Su Qi's narration, Xiao Jiu didn't say anything for a long time.
"Since you have told me your secret, let me tell you one of my secrets. ”
Su Qi waited nervously for Xiao Jiu's reaction, thinking that he would be so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time, or laugh at her for talking nonsense, but he didn't expect him to ......
"You believe me?"
"Silly Xiaoqi, of course I believe you. Xiao Jiu raised a simple smile at Su Qi, and then said: "When you rescued me from the mountains three years ago, I didn't remember what Aunt Zhang said, I actually lied to her. Actually, I remember everything, and I remember it clearly. But for your safety, please forgive me for not being able to tell you who I am. All I can tell you is that my family lives in the capital, and it is very likely that the starling was kidnapped and sent to the capital. ”
After Xiao Jiu's words, Su Qi was stunned when he heard it.
"I remember that not long after the starling disappeared in the previous life, you also disappeared not long after, so I asked you to make a pact with me. Do you ...... Did you go back to the capital later? Also, starling, why did you ......?"
"It's very likely that Starling was taken away by those people who mistakenly thought that I had taken it away, and it's all my fault! It's a pity that I can't protect myself now, otherwise, I-" Xiao Jiu looked at Su Qi with a pair of eyes as clear as jade, and Su Qi could even clearly see his figure from his eyes.
"I don't blame you. Su Qi interrupted Xiao Jiu with a smile, she had misseen many people, but she knew that she would not be wrong about Xiao Jiu.
Xiao Jiu bowed slightly, and there were complex emotions in his eyes that Su Qi couldn't read.
"I understand everything......" Su Qi pretended not to notice Xiao Jiu's strange appearance, and smiled innocently and brightly, as if she was really an eight-year-old girl.
If she hadn't relived her life, she might not have been able to see how precious the jade pendant Xiao Jiu gave her was, and how unusual the noble aura that he couldn't help but exude was. But she is Su Qi who has lived one more life, Su Qi, who has been a humble maid and merchant woman for many years, how can Xiao Jiu's unusualness be hidden from her eyes?
Su Qi had already figured out that even if she lived a lifetime, she and Xiao Jiu were not from the same world after all. He has a broader world. And she never wants to be the one who stumbles on his way.
Talking about the secret, Su Qi and Xiao Jiu were a little closer. The next day, Zhang Xu's really said to Su Qi that it was not bad from his previous life: "Girl, your father left early, and my mother is a woman's family, and it is not easy to support a family." What's more, the family is really in trouble, and my mother has barely supported your babies after borrowing all these years, and now there is no half of the money at home. My relatives and neighbors had long been scared of borrowing, and when they saw me, they hid far away. I really don't know how to live these days......"
Zhang Xu said with a handful of snot and tears, and Su Qi's eyes turned red when he heard it.
"Mother, it's not easy for you. Su Qi sobbed, reaching out and rubbing her eyes vigorously as she spoke, but no matter how she rubbed it, she just couldn't have the idea of wanting to cry at half.
"Girl, you are so sensible, if your father has a spirit in heaven, he must be very pleased. Zhang Xu stretched out his rough palm and stroked Su Qi's little head,
Speaking of the adoptive father who couldn't remember his appearance clearly, Su Qi finally had some tears in his eyes. If he hadn't taken her in for the winter when she was still in swaddling clothes at the door, I'm afraid there would have been no one like her in the world. So even though his adoptive father went early, Su Qi was still full of respect for him.
"Mother, tell me, what can Xiao Qi do to help his mother?"
Zhang Xu didn't seem to expect Su Qi to ask this question, as if he had already guessed what he was going to say. Looking at the little girl in front of him with two horns and handsome eyebrows, Zhang Xu's heart was a little reluctant and pitying.
Although she was not her own, in those days when she did not have Fang'er, she did regard her as her own flesh and blood. Although she has neglected her a lot over the years, she has always been well-behaved and obedient, and now she ......
"Girl, now the family is really unable to turn, my mother is no longer able to support you and Brother Jiu'er, it just so happens that the landlord's family in the town next door is looking for a maid, and the landlord's family is rich, so I won't lose you. ”
"Xiao Qi doesn't want to go, Xiao Qi is reluctant to mother!" Su Qi suddenly reached out and hugged Zhang Xu's waist wrapped in coarse cloth, and the tears that had been rolling in his eyes slowly slipped down his thin little face.
She thought that Zhang Xu would always care about her a little bit in her heart, but it was obvious that this was just her delusion.
"Well, Xiao Qi will have monthly money if he becomes a maid, and he will be able to help reduce the burden on the family when the time comes. My mother is reluctant to give up Xiaoqi, but the family's livelihood is worried, and my mother is really forced to do this! Don't worry, when the family situation is better, my mother will take you back. Zhang Xu swore solemnly, and the reluctance on his face was not half false.
She was really reluctant to Su Qi, but compared to the future of her own daughter, she decisively and decisively chose the latter.
Su Qi's heart, at this moment, can be regarded as completely cold.
"Okay, I'll go. Su Qi's voice sounded in his ears that he was so calm that he was almost not emotional.
Zhang Xu, who was extremely confused, didn't notice Su Qi's abnormality.
After a while, Su Qi's reluctant, sad and aggrieved appearance returned, "Mother, is it Fangcao's idea to send me to the landlord's house?"
Zhang Xu's expression darkened, and many thoughts quickly flashed in his mind, this girl, didn't she know something? Or did she hear the conversation between herself and Fang'er?
"Fang'er is only so old, where would she know so much. What's more, she ...... It's just a girl who picked it up, even if she has been raised by her mother's side for a few years, in the end she is not as good as your mother's biological daughter, where will she be an outsider to interfere in her own affairs? The smile on Zhang Xu's face became more and more loving and gentle, but his gaze at Su Qi was a little more guarded.
"I knew that my mother loved me the most. ”
