"Are they alright?" If they were killed, everything they had done before would be meaningless. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
"You can't protect yourself, you're still worried about others, should I call you stupid, or should I say you're stupid?" Lu Ye held his cheek with one hand and squinted his eyes to see clearly.
"Is there a difference?" said Qingran coldly.
"Nope. Lu also shook his head and said with a smile, "Actually, being stupid is not necessarily a bad thing, people say that stupid people are stupid, look at you, it is your luck not to be killed by those people, and it is your blessing to meet me." ā
Qingran was a little speechless, this person was really open-mouthed, without any scruples, and felt good about himself. If you hurt others and praise yourself, you don't blush, so it's a matter of course.
"So?"
"So the mother and daughter are fine, they are okay now, and they will be okay in the future. Lu Ye's tone was very affirmative.
"Really?" he is an official slave, where does he get his confidence and power.
"I'm a dew. ā
Although I don't know where this man's self-confidence comes from, his words should be credible only from the fact that he can mobilize officers and soldiers, and can move freely without avoiding his identity. "Thank you. Qingran said sincerely.
"Since we're friends, there's no need to say thank you. ā
Qingran doesn't remember promising Lu to be his friend. The mother and daughter were fine, and he was relieved. He should also go his own way. He stood up.
"Are you leaving?"
"Thank you for inviting me to dinner, and I'll give you back the money. ā
"Whatever you want. Lu Ye still held the "fragrant cheeks" in his hand, blinking his eyes to see clearly.
"You're not going to ask who I am?" Qingran hesitated for a moment and lowered his head to ask.
"If you're willing to say it, I'd love to hear it. Friends!" Lu also spread his hands, still looking indifferent, "If you don't want to say it, it doesn't matter, I'll know sooner or later." ā
Qingran is leaving. The owner of the tea shed brought the wrapped food. Lu also stood up, took the food, and stuffed it into Qingran's hand.
"No need. ā
"You're welcome, you didn't say you wanted to pay me back, it's not bad. ā
He was right. With this pack of food, you can save yourself some trouble. He stopped refusing and put away the food.
"That's right. Lu also saw Qingran accept it happily and nodded with satisfaction, "Go where you are going, rude man, good luck." After speaking, he smiled mysteriously at Qingran, and then, Qingran took a step ahead and left the tea shed.
After Lu Ye walked out of the tea shed a few steps, he stood up again, turned back to Qingran and said, "Of course, it is your good luck to meet me." After saying that, he left in style.
What a strange person. Qingran held the food in his hand and looked at Lu Ye. He wanted to say something, but in the end he just smiled faintly and let him go.
ā¦ā¦
The grain at the border has not yet been completely harvested, and in the next few days, Qingran found a forest nearby, rested on the trees during the day, and went around the field at night to look at the grain that had not been confiscated, so as to prevent the participants from making trouble.
The autumn harvest went smoothly in the end. Although there were always unwilling participants who tried every means to make trouble, they were all stopped by the local officers and soldiers in time. Qingran hid in the dark, helped when necessary, and never revealed his identity.
Before the third autumn rain came, under the busy work of the local people and officers and soldiers day and night, all the grain was finally harvested and put into the granary. After Qingran confirmed that everything was fine, he rushed back to Shangdu in the starry night, and the autumn rain was falling behind him.
This time he had been away for longer than the last time he had been to Xinguo, and he was worried about his mother, and when he saw his mother sitting peacefully by the window sewing clothes for himself through the open window, his heart relaxed and pushed open the door of his mother's room.
The mother was very happy to see her son return. But when she saw Qingran's dusty face, she couldn't help but blame Qingran, she shouldn't have made herself so tired in order to come back in a hurry.
Qingran smiled and sat down beside her mother and took her mother's hand.
The mother's face was very good and her spirit was good. Over the years in the mountains, my mother has suffered a lot in order to take care of herself, and her health has gradually become a little poor. Looking at his mother's healthy and safe appearance, he thought that maybe it was not useless to leave the mountains.
The mother asked Qingran if she had taken good care of her body when she went out and if she had encountered any danger. The outside world is complicated, and the human heart is sinister.
Qingran reassured her mother and said that she was all right. He also told his mother what he thought was interesting when he went out this time. As for the distress in Yangliu Town, he didn't say a word.
The mother laughed while listening to Qingran's story, she said that every time Qingran came back from outside, she talked about foxes, rabbits and other things. It was the first time she had heard him talk about people outside the mountains.
"If Mother likes it and has a chance, I'll take you outside to see if it's okay. Qingran saw that her mother was happy to hear it and said.
Unbeknownst to her, the mother shook her head and said that no matter how interesting the outside world is, it belongs to the outside, she just needs to sit at the table and listen happily.
Could it be that my mother is willing to stay in this cage-like yard all the time, not wanting to see the lives of outsiders with my own eyes?
Mother just smiled faintly and said that someone once told her about the lives of outsiders like Qingran, and that person was more interesting than Qingran. He was going to take her out, but she didn't bother. She loves to live in her own world.
"Is the man you are talking about the king of Shang?" before my mother came to the palace, she had been living in the mountains, and my grandfather was also a hunter in the mountains. If someone told his mother about things outside the mountain, the biggest possibility was the ninth prince at that time, the current king of Shang.
ā¦ā¦ The mother did not answer.
"He's not like someone who would say something like that. Qingran said coldly, the Shang King he saw always had a serious face and did not smile.
āā¦ā¦ That man used to be very talkative, and he spoke like the cry of a bird in the woods, which was nice and pleasant. Mother didn't say who the man was, but she recalled his appearance with a sweet expression.
"What about that person now?" asked Qing Ran, since the mother didn't say the man's name. Now that I think about it, since the Shang King reappeared in the world of their mother and son, it seems that the mother has never really called him once.
"Now?" said the mother, smiling, with her eyes very ethereal, "he still loves to talk, but some people can't hear him." ā
Qingran didn't quite understand her mother's words.
The mother slowly put away the clothes she was sewing and said to her son, "Our eyes will be blinded by the outside world, and our ears will be confused by the sound outside." Many times, what we see and hear is not necessarily true. There are many things that need to be seen and listened to with the heart. ā
"What are you talking about?" asked Qing Xuan, puzzled.
"You'll understand one day. The mother looked at her son lovingly.
Qingran withdrew from her mother's room. The breeze blew into the hem of his clothes, but his heart was not cool.
