Chapter 17: Secretly Opening a Hotel (7)
"Brother, where have you been?" she tilted her head and smiled slightly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info It's just that this smile always feels something else in Baili Qianxiang's eyes, and he quietly retreats a little, and countless thoughts turn in his heart at this moment, and he says with some caution, "I'm going to pick strawberries." ”
My little sister went home and fell asleep since she went out yesterday, and she didn't get up to eat until dinner. Baili Qianxiang didn't say anything, but guessed where she went. After what happened last time, he also knew in his heart, seeing that she was fine, although he was still a little worried, but it was not as godless as last time.
Only then did she wake up, and it would be the day of the market tomorrow. Seeing that his whole body was covered with fog in this fog, and even his hair seemed to be stained with some small droplets, and his face was a little pale (in fact, it was frightened white), he quickly poured the boiling water into the bucket for washing his face, and added a scoop of cold water into it, and tested the water temperature, and felt that it was almost there, so he threw a handkerchief into it and motioned him to wash his face.
Qianxiang twisted the handkerchief, but he didn't wash it, but kept steaming the handkerchief and handed it to her. After staying outside for so long, Zi Mo's exposed face and hands were also red from the cold, so he took it and wiped his face before covering his hands.
Unconsciously, April has passed, and on a good day, Zi Mo followed his brother to sweep his father's grave.
Because during the Qingming Festival, the two of them lived in a green and yellow life, where did they have extra money to buy incense, candles, and paper money, but now it is different, they have sold strawberries several times, and the two of them can at least eat a mouthful of food, and they don't have to go hungry anymore.
From the beginning of going out, Qian Xiang's mood was very low, Zi Mo teased him for most of the day, and he just smiled reluctantly. It took me a long time to get down the mountain.
The hour was not early, the temperature below the mountain was much warmer than on the mountain, and the fog had almost dispersed. I met a number of acquaintances in the village before, and saw that the two of them were carrying a bamboo basket with a coarse cloth in it, and they couldn't see it clearly, but they saw that they were walking in the direction of Zhang's grave, and they knew it in their hearts.
It's just that everyone feels a little surprised, Zhang's death, Zhang Ranyuan occupied his house, and everyone knows about driving two children to the mountains, although some people also feel sympathy in their hearts, but they just think about it in their hearts, is it difficult for everyone to be the first bird, and speak that breath for others?
I always thought that the two children should not be able to withstand it, but in such a cold weather, it rained one after another, and the two children were penniless, and they didn't even have a place to shelter from the wind and rain. A few days ago, someone in the village came back and said that they had seen the two brothers and sisters, and at that time everyone was still laughing at whether it was someone else who was dazzled, but I didn't expect to see each other today.
The two brothers and sisters of the Baili family not only lived well, but also looked much better! They even wore unpatched clothes, and the material was also good, which surprised everyone very much.
I couldn't help but secretly speculate in my heart whether Zhang's death left something behind for his two children.
As soon as the thought turned in their minds, the eyes of everyone looking at Baili Zimo and the others were even more intriguing, and they kept talking to each other. There are even those good things, while slowly following behind them, they are still looking left and right to see if there are any people from the Zhang family here.
Baili Zimo felt the eyes constantly focused on the two of her along the way, and she probably guessed what they were talking about, these rumors were insignificant to her, but for Qianxiang, she was afraid that she would still feel uncomfortable.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but sneak a glance at him, seeing that his handsome face was cold and indifferent, and his thin back was straight, as if he was completely unaffected, Zi Mo couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Both of them carried baskets in their hands and walked forward without hurrying.
In this way, everyone is more and more sure of their previous guess that Zhang must have left some silver money for the two children before he died. Thinking so in my heart, I couldn't help but feel a little happy.
This time, Zhang Ranyuan lost a lot of money, although he occupied a house, but the two children must still have a lot of money, otherwise in such a difficult environment, there was no haggard look on their faces at all, but the two children looked more smart.
When the two came to their destination, although Zi Mo said that he had never met his nominal father who was sleeping here, and he didn't miss anything, he just saw this small loess mound, and his heart was also sad.
Maybe it was because of the connection between the bones and blood, but she still felt that her eyes were sour and astringent, and Qianxiang next to her was even more uncomfortable, and she could feel his sadness even when she stood on the side.
The grave was only a month of work, it was already overgrown with fine grass, and there was not even a decent tombstone on it, only a tattered wooden board was inserted there crookedly, and Zhang Ranmei's name was scrawled on it.
Baili Qianxiang stepped forward to straighten the wooden plank that was about to fall over, and touched it carefully. Baili Zimo always thought that he would cry, but when he saw that he just bit his lip, his eyes were red.
Over the past few days, he has really changed a lot, as if the first time he saw that little imp with tears and snot seemed to be forced to grow up ten years old.
Inexplicably, Baili Zimo himself also felt depressed. He put the basket in his hand on the ground and reached out to pick up the weeds on the grave.
Baili Qianxiang also used his hands to pick up the dirt that was sliding everywhere and piled it up, the two of them were in a bad mood, neither of them spoke, and there seemed to be a sadness in the air.
Baili Zimo even cursed Zhang Ranyuan endlessly, this person was wolf-hearted, and he didn't even tidy up his brother's cemetery after taking advantage of it, and it was only about a month before it was abandoned like this.
The two of them tidied up for a long time before finishing it, and washed their hands full of mud in the nearby farmland. Then he poured back and uncovered the cloth on the basket, and took out the incense, candles, paper, money, and the like in it.
Baili Qianxiang took out the fire fold and lit the candle and plugged it in, tore up the paper money and lit it by the candlelight, and the blazing fire ignited, printing his face even more cold and handsome.
Baili Zimo helped tear up the paper money on the side, and brought out a small plate of food that he brought and put it away. Seeing that Qianxiang knelt on the ground all of a sudden, knocked on his head several times, he quickly put his things down, and bowed a few times.
After doing all this, Baili Qianxiang took out the firecrackers in the other basket, afraid that the little sister would be accidentally blown up by firecrackers while standing here, so he quickly told her to stand farther away.
Baili Zimo hurriedly ran away, saw him hanging the firecracker on a branch, took the fire fold and lit the fuse, and then ran to her side, the two covered their ears together, and a deafening sound sounded in the field, breaking the coldness, echoing back and forth in this empty field.
After the firecracker exploded and the sound stopped, the two waited for a while, afraid that there would still be one that landed and didn't explode.
In addition to a gust of fire and wind in front of the tomb, there was also a burst of green smoke after a little firecracker. Baili Zimo covered his nose and mouth with one hand, while constantly fanning the smoke in front of him.
After the excitement in the mountains and wilderness, the previous silence returned, and Zi Mo felt a little embarrassed in his heart, as if he had returned to dullness after the prosperity. Those who have left lie here quietly, and those who are alive still have to live well.
The two sat for a while, and when they saw that it was getting dark, they packed up their things and got up.
The small yellow mound of dirt gradually drifted farther and farther away, and disappeared after turning the corner. Baili Zimo couldn't help but glance back, feeling a little empty for a while.
Because Baili Zimo has special abilities, the lives of the brother and sister are gradually on track.
Baili Zimo often goes to the strawberry bush to make the ability, and after returning home, he will be very tired. Baili Qianxiang is not a fool, he gradually saw some clues, and he often speculated in his heart.
It's just that my sister didn't say it, and he didn't want to ask, so he had to pretend that he didn't know anything. The more strawberries were sold, and the two of them saved more and more money, Baili Qianxiang was not as economical as he was at the beginning, but every time he went to the town, he had to go to the butcher to buy some pork, hoping to raise his sister's body better.
Slowly, he became familiar with the butcher's house, and the man who originally looked at their brother and sister was wrong, and when he saw that he often bought some pork, his face couldn't help but improve a lot, and now when he saw them, he could squeeze out a smile.
Baili Zimo herself knows what is going on, every time she uses her ability, she will be very tired, she knows what is going on, it is because her injury is not healed.
It's just that I'm forced by this real life, and it's hard to move an inch without money. I tasted the sweetness of relying on this ability, after the silver flowed into my pocket like flowing water, where could I still accept it. I know it's harmful to my body, but I can't take care of it so much.
This situation is like a businessman who has a profit and takes a risk, and she can't refuse such an temptation. Just hope it's a blessing and not a curse.
