Chapter 823 - The Other Way Said
"It's all budding!" Xiao Ping exclaimed in a low voice, dismounted as soon as his legs were raised, and walked quickly to the saffron field to take a closer look.
All the crocuses were planted by Xiao Ping himself, and it has been several months now. Needless to say, the growth of the plant in the demon refining pot is naturally needless to say, and the narrow leaves of the crocus are green and fat, and they look thriving. A long peduncle has been drawn from the middle of the leaf, and the bract at the top of the peduncle is already the size of a thumb, and it seems that it will not take long to bloom.
The saffron bloomed much earlier than Xiao Ping expected. It seems that these plants are indeed very adaptable to the environment in the demon refining pot, so their growth rate is also much faster.
Xiao Ping walked around the saffron field and found that all the saffron flowers had buds. To his surprise, many crocuses even drew four or five buds at the same time. This is a full double the number of flowers that can bloom in ordinary crocus, and it also means that the number of stamens will also double, which is undoubtedly good news for Xiao Ping.
Very satisfied with the situation of the saffron, Xiao Ping stayed in the field for a while, and then reluctantly left the demon refining pot. This time, he had been in the demon refining pot for too long, and it was close to noon outside.
After coming out of the demon refining pot, Xiao Ping had just opened the door and was about to go out, but he saw Zhao Xue standing outside the door, one hand still in a knocking posture. The girl didn't expect Xiao Ping to open the door at this time, she was really taken aback, and hurriedly took a step back and hid her hand behind her back.
Xiao Ping looked at the poor Zhao Xue and asked, "Is there something wrong?"
"It's nothing, I just want to see if you're back. Zhao Xue was still a little afraid of Xiao Ping, and she didn't dare to look at him with her eyes when she spoke.
But what the girl said was true. Although there is food and accommodation at the farmstead, and it is indeed safe. But as long as Xiao Ping is not in the farm, she always feels a little uneasy. That's why Zhao Xue came to knock on Xiao Ping's door. I wonder if he has returned. In fact, the girl didn't expect that the reason why she was like this was entirely because she had already relied on Xiao Ping in her heart.
After all, in the past few years, only Xiao Ping has given Zhao Xue a stable life. Although it was only a few days, it left a deep imprint on the girl's heart. Although Zhao Xue didn't think it herself, Xiao Ping had quietly occupied a very important position in her heart.
Xiao Ping didn't realize this himself, and nodded indifferently: "It's okay if it's okay, by the way, you can go." ”
The word "go?!" touched the girl's nerves. Zhao Xue suddenly looked up at Xiao Ping and asked, "Do you want me to go?"
Xiao Ping didn't pay attention to the change in Zhao Xue's mood at all, and nodded his head with a big grin: "To tell you a good news, Luo Ke has been arrested." I heard that the police found a lot of incriminating evidence of him in the Tiandu nightclub, and it was more than enough to shoot this guy. So now that you're safe, of course you can go. ”
It stands to reason that this is indeed good news, but Zhao Xue couldn't be happy after hearing it. She lowered her head and bit her lower lip heavily, holding back her tears from flowing, and stubbornly remained silent.
Seeing that Zhao Xue's appearance was not quite right, Xiao Ping couldn't help but ask tentatively: "Don't you want to leave, right?" I always live with a little girl like you, and others will gossip, and it will not be good for your reputation. ”
In fact, Xiao Ping didn't care too much about reputation or anything, and the more important reason was that he was worried that Zhao Xue would live here. It will cause several other confidants to misunderstand. When the mutton was not eaten, it caused a commotion, which is not Xiao Ping's style.
What's more, there is Zhao Xue's light bulb, and there will be that confidante to come to the farm in the future. It would be very inconvenient to do anything. That's why Xiao Ping insisted that Zhao Xue leave, so as not to affect his peaceful life with this bad girl.
Listening to Xiao Ping's resolute tone. Zhao Xue nodded heavily, and whispered in a choked voice: "Okay." I'll go!"
After saying this, Zhao Xue turned around and left, not wanting Xiao Ping to see her tears.
Looking at the girl's thin back, Xiao Ping also felt that she was quite pitiful, and couldn't help but stop Zhao Xue with a loud voice: "Wait a minute!"
Xiao Ping's retention made Zhao Xue's heart happy, and she quickly stopped, nervously waiting to hear what he would say next.
However, the truth disappointed the girl again, Xiao Ping just said embarrassedly: "That...... You can take all the clothes I bought for you, and no one will wear them if you stay here anyway. ”
"Hmph!" Zhao Xue, who was disappointed, snorted hatefully, and rushed directly into his room to pack his clothes. Since Xiao Ping is so unkind, Zhao Xue will not be polite to him. Although these clothes look a little dirty, they are famous brands anyway, don't be in vain!
The bad girl was completely disappointed in Xiao Ping, and scolded him in her heart while tidying up her clothes. She quickly put her clothes in order, carried a large bag and a small bag, and walked downstairs without saying a word.
In fact, Xiao Ping felt a little guilty in his heart, and when he saw this, he hurriedly said loudly in the back: "I'll send you to the provincial capital, it's difficult to call a taxi here." ”
Zhao Xue in front of him stopped for a moment, neither said good nor bad, and continued to stride forward.
Xiao Ping, who was behind, shook his head and chased after him, secretly planning to wait until he arrived in the provincial capital to give this little girl some money. After all, the two just met in Pingshui, so it can be regarded as benevolent and righteous to her.
Zhao Xue soon came to the pickup and waited for Xiao Ping without saying a word. Xiao Ping quickened his pace to catch up, and when he was about to open the door, he saw a Beetle slowly driving into the courtyard of the villa, this car Xiao Ping was very familiar with, it was Li Wanqing's car. This situation gave Xiao Ping a little headache, and now he must have to explain that there will be an extra girl in the farm.
During the Spring Festival, Li Wanqing accompanied her brother and sister-in-law to go abroad for a vacation, but her mind was always entangled in Xiao Ping. Although the two often talk on the phone, after all, only a real meeting can alleviate the pain of lovesickness. So Li Wanqing came to Xiao Ping as soon as she returned to China, and she didn't tell him in advance, just to surprise her sweetheart.
However, the situation in front of her at this time was somewhat unexpected by Li Wanqing. Xiao Ping was actually with a young girl, and the girl was still carrying a large bag and a small bag, and the trademarks were all expensive brand-name clothes. At this moment, Li Wanqing also had some doubts in her mind, and bad words like "assistance communication" also poured into her mind.
"Wanqing, you're back from vacation!" Xiao Pingzhi said that he must not show too much panic at this time, and naturally stepped forward and said to Li Wanqing: "Why don't you make a phone call here, I'll pick you up." ”
"If I had called beforehand, I was afraid that I would not have been able to meet this little sister. Li Wanqing glanced at Xiao Ping with a smile, and said lightly to Zhao Xue, who was still a little confused: "Hello little sister, my name is Li Wanqing." ”
Listening to Li Wanqing's words, Xiao Ping couldn't help but show a wry smile, knowing that she must be too careful. But at the same time, he was a little lucky, fortunately, it was the gentle and lovely Li Wanqing who suddenly appeared, if it was replaced by the spicy Song Lei or the shrewd Zhang Yuxin, this scene would be even more difficult to clean up.
Zhao Xue is not a stupid girl, and she quickly saw the relationship between Li Wanqing and Xiao Ping. She simply didn't do anything, and immediately said to Li Wanqing with a sad face: "Hello sister, my name is Zhao Xue." You've come just in time, give me a critique. This uncle should have said that he would take care of me a few days ago, but he changed his mind in only two days, and now he wants to drive me away!"
Zhao Xue's words undoubtedly added fuel to the fire, and Li Wanqing couldn't help but glance at Xiao Ping. Thanks to her good temper, she couldn't help but speak.
How could Xiao Ping let Zhao Xue frame himself like this, and immediately retorted loudly: "Zhao Xue, don't talk nonsense." I have nothing to do with you, so why should I take care of you?!"
"You still say that we have nothing to do with each other?" Zhao Xue covered her face with her hands, so as not to let Li Wanqing see that she was pretending to cry, and at the same time did not forget to ask Xiao Ping: "That night, you were still taking off other people's clothes in the car, did you forget it by the river?"
Xiao Ping put his hand on his forehead and said, "Please, I'm saving you, okay? You have a nervous jump yourself, if I don't take off your wet clothes, you will freeze to death!"
Seeing that Xiao Ping said that he was nervous, Zhao Xue was also angry, and immediately put his hands on his waist and said fiercely: "Even if it is like that, you dare to say that you didn't use a little crooked brain after taking off my clothes?!"
"Use your brain?" Xiao Ping sneered: "Look at your flat body, if you want to have breasts or no breasts, you can't tell the front and back without looking at your face, even if I am hungry and thirsty, I won't fall in love with you!"
"Uncle, you bastard!" Zhao Xue screamed, rushed over and kicked Xiao Ping's calf bone. Hearing Xiao Ping say that he was so unbearable, the girl is really angry now.
Zhao Xue kicked in the air without a doubt, and the girl with frustrated self-esteem didn't even want those brand-name clothes, and walked out of the farm in a huff.
Now Li Wanqing also sees that the real situation is not what she imagined. Seeing Zhao Xue passing by. She hurriedly grabbed the girl, frowned at Xiao Ping and said, "Zhao Xue is still a little girl, how can she talk to others like this?
Xiao Ping thought for a moment, and then said to Li Wanqing: "When you passed through the provincial capital, you should have heard that an entrepreneur named Luo Ke was arrested in the provincial capital, right?"
Seeing Li Wanqing nodding her head to show her knowledge, Xiao Ping continued: "Actually, this matter has something to do with me, and this little girl is an important witness......
So Xiao Ping told the story of the incident as it was, and of course hid Long Wu and the National Security Bureau and other things that should not have been known to Zhao Xue, and said aggrievedly: "Now that Luo Ke has been arrested, this little girl will be safe." Although she doesn't have any attraction to me, she can't stay here all the time, and the news that lonely men and widows are together is not good for my reputation!"
Xiao Ping's last sentence made Li Wanqing angry and funny, and couldn't help but glance at him and said: "It's obviously a bad reputation for Xiaoxue, you said the opposite!" (To be continued......)
