CHAPTER XXIII

"I'm leaving. ”

Zhou Yiyi was dusting the quilt on the bed, although the quilt was a little old, it was clean. After hearing this, he just thought that Zhou Yi was going to rest somewhere, so he replied casually: "You just live in my house!" There is also a thin quilt in the cabinet, although it is a little old, but it is all clean, and I will take it to the yard every month to bask in the sun to remove the musty smell, not dirty. After speaking, he turned around and looked at Zhou Yi with a smile on his face, waiting for him to nod.

"I'm leaving. Zhou Yi said again.

Zhou Yiyi blinked.

What do you mean?

The two of them looked at each other silently, and after a long time, it seemed that a flash of inspiration flashed, Zhou Yiyi opened his mouth slightly in surprise, and asked him, "Do you mean you're leaving?"

Zhou Yi nodded: "The matter of the Ge family has been resolved, and I am going to start again." ”

"So...... Is it fast?"

It was as if someone had poured a basin of cold water, and the mood suddenly fell.

In fact, it's not that I didn't think that people would leave, I wasn't a local in the first place, and since I was passing by Zhoujia Village, I naturally had the day to leave. It's just that during this time together, not to mention how earth-shattering the things we have experienced together, it is indeed the happiest time that Zhou Yiyi has lived the happiest time stepping out of her alone world for the first time in the past fifteen years, and she unconsciously regarded Zhou Yi as her own person and a person who lived together.

For Zhou Yi, Zhoujiacun is just a fork in the road in his life. And what about her? Is she just a passing by in his life?

I wanted to ask, but I felt that my thoughts were sudden. Because you're used to loneliness, are you reluctant to let go with a little warmth?

Zhou Yiyi felt that she was so greedy and became very annoying.

Sniffing quietly, trying to suppress the astringency in her eyes, Zhou Yiyi raised her head, wanting to pretend to be very casual, just like usual, and told him with a grin: "Oh, okay, I know, I wish you a smooth journey." But before he could say anything, he was interrupted by the other party.

Fingers against his lips, stopping what he was about to say.

The little girl's expression was so lost, how could she not see it.

"Do you want to come with me?" Zhou Yi asked.

It is the tone of the invitation.

The little girl's eyes widened.

"The sky outside is bigger than here, there are more trees outside than here, the food outside is more abundant than here, and there are more people outside than here, do you want to go out and have a look?"

The little girl's eyes seemed to be able to speak, and they were full of excitement and yearning.

Slowly putting down his hand, Zhou Yi looked at her and said gently, "Have a good rest, I'll wait for your answer." ”

Zhou Yimu stood in a daze, watching Zhou Yi return to the only wooden bed in the room after speaking, and lay down on his side.

Quiet night.

Zhou Yiyi thought that she would not be able to sleep, but she didn't expect that it would be another night without dreams until dawn.

What a happy day, how happy a person.

In this way, I lived a good day without nightmares for three days in a row.

In the past few days, Xiaohu often came to deliver food to Zhou Yiyi, and by the way, he also told her the latest news in Zhoujia Village.

Zhou Yiyi heard that Li Zheng tied up Liu Yong and drove him to the county government in an ox cart with several strong men from the village. The county magistrate was originally going to lock up Liu Yong first and wait for a while before dealing with it, but he didn't expect that Li Zheng and the others had not yet left the county government, and the county magistrate changed his mind and immediately sentenced him to be executed.

Xiaohu told Zhou Yiyi while nibbling on watermelon that many people in Zhoujia Village went to the county to watch the excitement, and when they came back, it was very popular. Some people say that the executioner's knife is sharpened very quickly and brightly, and as soon as the knife goes down, there is a "click" sound, Liu Yong's head falls to the ground, and the blood of the knife does not have time to come out.

Zhou Yiyi was so frightened that she threw away the watermelon in her hand, Zhou Yi's face did not change, and she took it back with one hand and held it for her to hold still.

Zhou Yiyi was so frightened that she covered Xiaohu's two fat ears and made Xiaohu's ears watermelon juice.

"Don't listen, don't listen, don't listen, children will have nightmares if they hear too much. ”

For Zhou Yiyi, having a nightmare is the biggest punishment.

Obviously she is still a little girl who is not deeply involved in the world, but she is still serious and worried about others.

Zhou Yi watched the interaction between the two children with amusement.

"Sister Yiyi!" Xiaohu frowned two little black eyebrows, because he didn't have empty hands, he could only shake his head and shake off Zhou Yiyi's hand, and emphasized, "I'm not a child anymore! I'm an adult!

It seems that since this incident, Xiaohu seems to have become a lot more sensible overnight, and always likes to emphasize that he is an adult.

If you are an adult, you have to shoulder the burden on your shoulders, and if you are an adult, you can take care of your family.

Zhou Yiyi didn't know what to say. For Xiaohu like this, she doesn't know whether she is more happy or worried.

"Well, you're already an adult. Zhou Yiyi sighed and sighed.

Xiaohu saw that she was a little depressed and busy and said, "I'm an adult, but Sister Yiyi, you are still my sister." ”

Zhou Yiyi smiled, didn't know what to think, suddenly raised his hand, gently landed on Xiaohu's head, slowly, touched his head, and said, "Well, I will always be your sister Yiyi." ”

Zhou Yi looked at her movements, slightly stunned, and then smiled happily.

Who is this imitating?

Xiaohu saw that she was not depressed, and continued to follow the topic just now: "I also heard from them that as soon as Liu Yong was sent to the county government, the steward of Huangji Silk Village immediately secretly sent money to the second aunt in the county master's mansion, so at the beginning, the county master just locked up Liu Yong but did not make a judgment." ”

Zhou Yiyi had already taken the melon that Zhou Yi had just caught and continued to eat the melon, and when she heard this, she was dumbfounded: "You know this?"

Xiaohu took a big bite of melon and said vaguely: "It's all the aunts and aunts in the village who got together and said, and I just heard it." ”

Thinking of the last group of women who held banana fans to block their mouths and noses and avoided themselves and chattered behind their backs, Zhou Yiyi suddenly understood: "Oh. Then continue to eat melons silently.

"But I heard that the emperor said that he wanted to make a decision, so the county master immediately changed it. ”

"The Emperor...... Emperor?" Zhou Yiyi opened her mouth wide, "Even the emperor is alarmed?"

Even if she is a housemaid like Zhou Yiyi, she may not know other official names, but the term emperor is heard and quite familiar.

That's the Son of Heaven, the biggest person in the entire Great Zhou Dynasty.

Such a big person even knows about such a small place with crooked corners?

It's amazing, isn't it?

Zhou Yiyi simply bowed down to this big man who had never met before.

Zhou Yi squinted, the little girl's mouth was not big, it was so wide that her chin was about to fall. Is it possible to know the emperor with such a surprised look?

Zhou Yi couldn't help but reach out and poke.

The little girl tilted her head and frowned at him.

What are you doing!

Zhou Yiyi lifted his chin.

Tuck your jaw away.

The little girl was inexplicable and looked herself up and down. Looking up again, there was another stare.

Neuropathy.

Zhou Yi: "......"

Xiaohu's melon was finished, and when he looked at the two people in front of him, he always felt that something was wrong in his heart, and after thinking about it for a long time, he clapped his hands.

Yikes!

The mother is still stewing the old hen at home!

So he got up and slipped away, and the small bench was shaken by the rest of his running.

Zhou Yiyi held and ate more than half of the melon, only to see a black shadow disappear at the gate of the courtyard.

Three sentences drifted in the air.

"Sister Yiyi, I'm leaving!"

"You go on with your brother!"

"Leave me alone!"

Zhou Yiyi was stunned and asked, "What are you going on?"

Zhou Yi smiled, unfathomable: "I don't know, you guess?"

Take a bite of the melon.

Yo!

It's sweet.
