Qiu Ling beckoned Ah Jin, Lin Wan and Ximen Yuqing to sit under another big tree, and there was a small round wooden table under the tree, and there were exactly four stools on the side of the table. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

The three of them sat down in turn, and Xiao Jie quickly served tea and turned back to the room.

Qiu Ling sat next to Ah Jin, smiled faintly, and asked softly: "Ah Jin, you must have something to do when you come today, right? You and I have known each other for many years, and you don't have to beat around the bush to speak, so you can just say it." ”

Qiu Ling said, her eyes were already looking at Ximen Yuqing, but there seemed to be hesitation in her eyes.

Ximen Yuqing hooked his lips and smiled, shook his head, and explained: "This son did not come today for what he asked for before. And it's just to accompany Miss Amu, so the Iron Lady doesn't have to be embarrassed. ”

Qiu Ling was obviously relieved, nodded with a smile, and said, "Thank you for your understanding." As he spoke, he turned to Lin Wan and asked, "Miss Amu is what the neighbors said, the living bodhisattva from the Medicine King Valley, right?"

Lin Wan shook his head with a smile, and said crisply: "How can Amu be as good as Sister Qiuling, Amu is just swaggering and deceiving in the name of the teacher." ”

Qiu Ling covered her lips and smiled, and said: "Miss Amu is really good at laughing, so many neighbors say that you only used one pill to save Grandma who was already dying from death, but God." ”

Lin Wan smiled at Qiu Ling, with a cute smile, took Qiu Ling's hand, and asked, "Sister Qiu Ling, do you know about our donation of materials in the courtyard next to the Fengxiang Inn?"

Qiu Ling smiled and nodded, and said, "Of course I know, I'm afraid there are few people in this Nancheng who don't know." I have asked Xiaojie to pack out some unworn cotton clothes and boots, and I am planning to donate them tomorrow. ”

Lin Wan shook her head and said, "Sister Qiuling, we came today to ask you for help." However, I don't want you to donate food or clothing. Sister Qiu Ling, you also know that the Pingnan army is fighting against South Vietnam, and it is good that they lack food and clothes. However, what they lacked most was weapons. ”

The smile on Qiu Ling's face gradually retracted, lowered her head, and stopped speaking.

Lin Wan tilted his head and asked in a low voice of confusion, "Sister Qiuling, is there any difficulty?"

Qiu Ling bit her lower lip, raised her head, shook her head, and flatly refused: "I'm sorry, Miss Amu, Ah Jin, it's not that we don't want to help the Pingnan army, and it's not that we don't want to contribute to the country with everyone." But we really don't want to leave here. Here is the work of Master Tie for a lifetime, although he is no longer there. But according to his last wish, we buried him under the big tree, and we could not leave him behind. As he spoke, tears were already hidden in his beautiful eyes.

Lin Wan was even more puzzled, frowned and asked, "Sister Qiu Ling, we didn't ask you to leave here?"

Qiu Ling was stunned, looked at Lin Wan suspiciously, and then looked at Ximen Yuqing, and did not answer Lin Wan's question.

Lin Wan turned his head to look at Ximen Yuqing, frowned and asked, "Master Ximen, can you tell me, what's going on?"

Ximen Yuqing hesitated for a moment, nodded slightly, and said, "This son has long admired the name of Master Xiaotie, so as soon as he arrived in Fengnan City, he came in person. Originally, I wanted to ask Master Xiao Tie to come with me and help me build something, but Master Xiao Tie refused. ”

Lin Wan frowned and continued to ask, "And then?"

Ximen Yuqing shook his fan, smiled faintly, and said, "I gave Master Xiaotie three days to think about it, and I hope he won't reject me again." ”

Lin Wan didn't give up, and then asked, "What if Master Xiaotie still doesn't agree?"

Ximen Yuqing touched his nose, smiled, turned to Qiu Ling, and promised: "Iron lady, don't worry, this son has changed his mind, and what I talked about before will be stopped." ”

Lin Wan smiled with satisfaction, took Qiu Ling's hand, and said, "Sister Qiu Ling, I just want to ask Master Xiao Tie to help build weapons, and I don't need you to leave here." Moreover, we are in great demand, and Master Xiao Tie must not be busy alone. So, I also want to ask some villagers and soldiers to help, I wonder if Master Xiao Tie agrees?"

Qiu Ling was still a little hesitant: "This ......" looked at the sweaty man under the big tree.

Ah Shu handed over the short sword that had been made to the little boy beside him, took off his gloves, wiped the sweat beads on his face and body with a cotton towel, and slowly walked towards this side.

Qiu Ling hurriedly stood up, gave up her seat to Ah Shu, and turned around and walked into the room.

Ah Shu has thick eyebrows and big eyes, dark skin, and his young face is expressionless, and there is a kind of coldness that rejects people thousands of miles away.

Lin Wan also felt that this man was a little difficult to get along with, and he didn't know what to say for a while. Picking up the tea bowl, he took a sip to hide his hesitation.

Qiu Ling quickly walked back, holding a cotton-covered gown in her hand, and draped it over Ah Shu's shoulders.

Ah Shu stood up, stretched out his hand to put on his shirt, tied the belt simply and casually, and sat down again. Although he didn't say anything, the expression on his face was much softened because of Qiu Ling's arrival.

Lin Wan stood up, pulled Qiu Ling to his side, smiled slightly, and said, "Master Xiao Tie, I don't know if you heard the conversation between me and Sister Qiu Ling just now? I am here to ask you to help build weapons on behalf of the Pingnan army and the people of the whole city." I don't know, would you like to?"

Ah Shu turned his head to look at Qiu Ling and asked Qiu Ling what she meant. After all, if you agree, not only will you have to be busy, but there will be many people at home, which may cause trouble to Qiu Ling. These days, Qiu Ling doesn't go out much because she is afraid of hearing gossip outside.

Qiu Ling nodded slightly and expressed her opinion.

Ah Shu carefully looked at Qiu Ling's expression and made sure that she was not unhappy at all, so he nodded to Lin Wan instead, and said, "I heard what you just said, and I am willing." After a pause, he added, "However, I have one condition. ”

Lin Wan saw that Ah Shu agreed, and hurriedly nodded and said, "Master Xiaotie, please speak, we will try our best to meet any conditions." ”

Ah Shu looked at Qiu Ling, thought for a while, and said, "At any time, if I am unhappy, we will stop immediately, please leave immediately." ”

Lin Wan listened to Ah Shu's words and immediately understood his intentions, he was afraid that Qiu Ling would be gossiped about, and he was afraid that Qiu Ling would be hurt by gossip. Lin Wan didn't think about it, just nodded heavily and said, "I promise!"

Ah Jin also stood up and said solemnly: "I will arrange this matter personally." I know that Sister Qiu Ling is happy and quiet, and she must try not to affect your life too much. ”

Ah Shu nodded, and finally agreed. Turning his head and glancing at Qiu Ling again, Qiu Ling's eyes were full of emotion, and Ah Shu tugged the corners of his mouth, revealing a hint of a smile. (To be continued.) )
