Chapter 74: Floating Life (5)
No matter how sensible Qin Tassel is, he is still just a child after all, and when he encounters something sad and unacceptable, he can only think of escaping.
But there are also skills in escaping this kind of thing, such as Qin Tasu, this time, she lost herself very skillfully when she escaped.
In fact, this is also quite a helpless thing, because she ran into a forest in a panic, and the night is getting deeper, the shadows of the trees fall to the ground with teeth and claws, and the wind blows through the branches to make a "whoosh" sound, which looks very terrifying in the silent night.
Qin Tassel carefully took the shuttlecock into his arms, groped and walked forward cautiously. The moonlight was soft, and Qin Tassel stopped all of a sudden, and even retreated. For she saw not far ahead, a green snake hanging from a tree, looking at her with its tongue out.
Qin Tassel accidentally tripped over something as he stepped back, and then fell to the ground. The green snake seemed to be frightened by this, turned around and climbed down the branch, paused for a moment after coming down, and then crawled towards Qin Tassel again.
Qin Tassel was about to cry out in fright, watching the green snake getting closer and closer to her, her body became more and more stiff, and finally she couldn't help it, and she was about to cry when she was deflated: "Daddy......"
A sudden gust of wind swept the snake away, and it fell heavily to the ground. The snake struggled twice on the ground, flicked its tail and slipped into the grass beside it.
"Little girl, why do you cry so easily?"
The clear voice with banter came from far away. Qin Tassel looked up at the source of the voice after realizing it, but after just a glance, he was stunned in place.
In the dark night, on an old tree, a teenager sat against it. He was wearing a snow-white robe with narrowed cuffs and golden auspicious clouds. The long silver-white hair hung down from the trees along with the clothes, as if exuding a faint halo, which looked particularly dazzling.
He looked at her with raised eyebrows, a pair of peach blossom eyes that were soul-catching, and the smile under the light eyes could not be hidden. Seeing Qin Tassel looking at him stunned, he pulled the corners of his mouth and said very seriously: "Girl, is it good-looking?"
Qin Tassel nodded subconsciously: "It's good-looking." After a pause, he asked, "But big brother, why is your hair white?"
Hearing the desired answer, the young man seemed to be in a good mood, he raised his hand and hooked a strand of silver-white long hair and shook it: "Isn't white beautiful?"
Qin Liusu paused and replied truthfully: "It's also good-looking." ”
"That's fine. The boy put down his long hair and jumped down the tree, dressed in white dazzlingly, "As long as it looks good, it doesn't matter what color it is." ”
He walked up to Qin Liusu and stretched out his hand to pull her up from the ground, knocked her head with his hand, and the corners of his mouth were full of smiles: "Little girl, it's so late, why did you come here alone?"
Qin Tassel patted her skirt, and her voice was a little gloomy: "No one in my family is here, Auntie died after giving birth to me, Daddy is always outside, I live in Daddy Gu's house." ”
"Then you're really pitiful. The young man pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, raising his hand to conjure up a steamed bun, "Are you hungry?"
As he was talking, he only heard the sound of "goo~", Qin Tassel touched his stomach, took the steamed bun and said "thank you" embarrassedly.
The young man was very bored and watched her chew and eat steamed buns slowly, his eyes fell on the feather shuttlecock at the placket of her clothes, and his eyes lit up: "Little girl, what is hidden in your clothes?"
Qin Tassel was stunned, looked down at the feather shuttlecock that emerged from his arms, stretched out his little hand and took it out and handed it to the young man, and said in a thin voice: "Do you mean this? This is a feather shuttlecock, brought to me by my father." ”
The young man looked at the shuttlecock in her hand with great interest, as if he had never seen it before, and after a while, he pointed to the shuttlecock and proposed, "How about you play with this thing?"
Seeing that he wanted his own shuttlecock, Qin Tassel was very hesitant. She is also very precious to this shuttlecock, otherwise she would not have done it against Xie Yan because of this, but at this time, ......
As if seeing her hesitation, the young man thought for a moment and proposed again: "Well, I won't ask for your things in vain." You see, I saved your life and gave you my steamed buns, and I didn't ask you for anything. I'll send you back when you're done, and you'll give me the shuttlecock again, how about it?"
Qin Tassel held the shuttlecock and hesitated. When the young man saw this, he rolled his eyes and said, "Let me tell you, there are many snakes, rats, wolves, and the like in this forest at night, and if you stay here alone, you may not see the sun tomorrow." ”
Qin Tassel was frightened, subconsciously looked around, and asked in a trembling voice: "Is it really? Big brother, don't lie to me......
"Naturally, I won't lie to you. The boy waved his hand, then looked at her and smiled and asked, "Are you scared?"
Qin Tassel shrunk and nodded.
Getting the answer he wanted, the young man squatted down in front of her, raised his head to look at her, and a pair of peach blossom eyes were particularly bewildering: "Since you're afraid, don't stay here." I'll send you back, and you'll give me this, okay?" the boy gestured to the shuttlecock in her hand.
Qin Liusu hesitated and looked at the feather shuttlecock in his hand, and then looked up at him, looking a little pitiful.
After a while, as if he had made up his mind, Qin Tassel nodded: "Okay." ”
Under the vast night, two figures, one large and one small, walked side by side.
The young man took Qin Tassel and walked in front slowly. The long silver-white hair fluttered lightly with the movements, and from time to time it drew a graceful arc in the air. He hummed an unknown tune, echoing leisurely with the night breeze, and his white clothes and white hair were intertwined, as if he had a faint and soft white glow.
Qin Tassel followed him step by step, and the warm temperature from her palm made her feel inexplicably at ease. She raised her eyes and secretly glanced at the young man walking in front of her, only to see that the young man in white was as graceful as jade.
I don't know how long I walked, until I could see the gate of the Gu Mansion, the young man stopped, turned to look at Qin Tassel, and pointed to the brightly lit Gu Mansion not far away: "You should live here, right?"
Qin Tassel looked past him, then nodded: "Yes, thank you." ”
"No thanks. The young man hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, stretching out his white and slender hand, "I have already sent you, so, can you give me the shuttlecock?"
Qin Tassel was stunned, and then remembered the previous agreement. She took out the feather shuttlecock from her arms and carefully placed it in his hand: "Here you go." At the end, as if he was not at ease, he added, "Don't break it." ”
"Yes. The young man took the shuttlecock and was about to take a look, but suddenly found that Qin Tassel was still standing in place, so he asked suspiciously, "Why don't you leave?"
When Qin Tassel heard this, his face was a little gloomy. She walked slowly past him, walked a short distance and suddenly turned around, looked at the person not far away and raised her voice and said: "Big brother, my name is Qin Tasu, Qin is the surname, the flow is the flow of the river, and Su is the Su of Yunsu cake." Big brother, what's your name?"
The young man who was squinting and watching seriously with a shuttlecock turned his head when he heard this, the corners of his mouth were lightly raised, and a pair of peach blossom eyes were fascinating: "I? Little girl, my name is Bai Tianhan. ”
When Qin Tassel returned to Gu's mansion, Gu Xingfeng was kneeling in the lobby, Gu Heng had his hands behind his back and his face was slightly angry, and he was very impatient and walked around the lobby. And Mrs. Gu looked at her son worriedly, and then at her husband, with a helpless expression.
After a while, Mrs. Gu sighed and persuaded: "Master, you sit down and rest, it's useless to be in a hurry." Besides, haven't you already sent someone to look for it?"
"Yes. Gu Xingfeng, who was kneeling on the ground, echoed, pouted and said, "It's annoying!"
"You still say!" When Gu Heng heard this, the anger on his face deepened, he stopped and turned to point at Gu Xingfeng, his fingers trembled and trembled, and said angrily, "If you hadn't said those words, how could the tassel run away, so that he hasn't come back yet?" If something happened to the tassel, how can I explain it to Brother Qin?"
Gu Xingfeng was also weakened by his roar, glanced at him and muttered in a low voice: "What can it be?" she just doesn't like to talk, and she's not a fool, don't you know the way home when she's so old?" ”
"You, you, you, you......" Gu Heng pointed at him, "you" didn't come out for a long time, as if he was angry, and he raised his hand to hit him.
Fortunately, Mrs. Gu on the side stopped her in time when she saw it, and persuaded: "Why are you beating him?
Gu Xingfeng poked his head out from behind Mrs. Gu, his hands were still protecting his head, as if he was afraid that he would slap him unexpectedly: "Dad, the gentleman doesn't move his mouth, this is what you taught me, why are you doing it now?"
"Look at it, look at it, what kind of son is born here?!" Gu Heng pointed at Gu Xingfeng at his wife, looking very distressed, "My Gu family has been scholarly for generations, how did I give birth to such a bad son?"
"You didn't give birth to it yet. Gu Xingfeng didn't seem to be used to listening to Gu Heng's words, so he was not afraid to die.
"You!" Gu Heng's eyes widened angrily, and he was so angry that the green tendons on his forehead burst out, and when he saw a feather duster not far away, he rushed over to pick it up, and waved it straight towards Gu Xingfeng, Mrs. Gu couldn't stop it, "You still dare to talk back? See if I don't kill you!"
Gu Xingfeng looked at the feather duster that waved over and didn't hide, and continued to say: "You fight, you fight, just kill me!"
When Qin Tassel came in, she saw such a chaotic scene, she was stunned, and hurriedly shouted: "Daddy Gu, don't fight! I'm back!"
With a "snap", although Gu Heng heard Qin Liusu's voice, he didn't have time to retract his hand, and the feather duster fell straight on Gu Xingfeng's body like that. And Gu Xingfeng didn't seem to expect Gu Heng to really start, so he didn't hide, so he just suffered this stick like that.
There was a crisp sound when the stick was pumped on his body, Gu Xingfeng covered his arm and jumped up in pain, and said while gasping: "You can really do it, I'm your son, who are you going to pass on the lineage if you kill me?"
Hearing this, a little anger that Gu Heng had just subsided came up again, and he raised his feather duster and was about to make up for it again, but was stopped by Mrs. Gu.
"Master, since the tassel kid has returned, don't blame the wind. After that, she looked at Qin Tassel, beckoned to her, and said, "Tassel, come here." Where did you go, you didn't come back so late, we were worried to death!"
Although it is slightly angry, it does not mean to blame. Qin Liusu walked over as he said, pulled Gu Heng's sleeve and tilted his head and said, "Daddy Gu, don't be angry, you see, I have nothing to do." ”
Gu Heng looked at Qin Tassel and made sure that she was really fine, so he snorted coldly, threw the feather duster in his hand, looked at Gu Xingfeng who jumped to the side and said, "Count you kid lucky! If something happens to the tassel, I have to kill you!"
Gu Xingfeng covered his arm and was about to talk back, but was swept over by a warning look from Mrs. Gu, and he had to swallow the words that had reached his mouth, turned his head to look away, and then hummed softly very unwillingly.
Seeing that Gu Xingfeng no longer talked back, Mrs. Gu pulled Gu Heng to the side of the chair and sat down, and helped him calm down and said, "Master, it's getting late, and the children are tired, let them go down and rest." I'm afraid I'm hungry when I come back now, so I'll ask Aunt Wu to make something and bring it to her room, how about it?"
Gu Heng patted his wife's hand, sighed, and said, "It's up to you to decide." After speaking, he happened to see Gu Xingfeng, who was looking around restlessly, as if he remembered what happened before, he snorted coldly, and didn't turn his head to stop looking at him.
Regardless of her husband's discomfort, Mrs. Gu turned her head to look at Gu Xingfeng and the two, and said, "You guys go down first, tassel, if there is anything uncomfortable, just tell the girls, you know?"
"Got it. Qin Tassel responded obediently.
"Hmm. Mrs. Gu nodded.
Gu Xingfeng turned his head and glanced at his father, snorted lightly again, didn't even say hello, and walked out first.
Gu Heng sighed, patted his wife's hand and shook his head.
Qin Liusu saw Gu Xingfeng go out, said hello to Gu Heng and the two, and then retreated as well.
As soon as you go out, you can see that on the path not far away, Gu Xingfeng is walking forward while kicking the stones. Qin Liusu hesitated slightly, ran over with a "da-da-da" step, grabbed Gu Xingfeng's sleeve and said, "Brother Gu, Daddy Gu hit you just now, do you feel any pain?"
Gu Xingfeng stopped, looked at Qin Liusu and looked at him worriedly, and after being stunned for a moment, he immediately covered his arm and groaned in pain: "It hurts, of course it hurts!
Qin Tassel was so frightened by him that he hurriedly sent him his sleeve, wanting to see his wound but didn't dare, he proposed very worriedly: "Is it really painful?
Gu Xingfeng didn't answer, just covered his arm and groaned.
Qin Tassel saw that he was really seriously injured, so he turned around and walked towards the house: "I'd better go talk to my godmother." ”
Gu Xingfeng saw that Qin Liusu really believed it, and hurriedly grabbed her and said, "Eh, don't go!"
Qin Tassel turned his head and looked at him suspiciously, Gu Xingfeng pouted and said, "Do you really believe it?"
Qin Tassel looked at his arm that was not the slightest bit unusual, and gradually fell silent. After a long time, he said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, if I didn't run around, Daddy Gu wouldn't be so angry......"
It was the first time that someone apologized so seriously, and Gu Xingfeng was a little unaccustomed. He touched his head and said unnaturally: "It's nothing, isn't it just a pump? I'm going to go to the battlefield in the future, what's wrong with a pump......?"
But Qin Tassel didn't care about Gu Xingfeng's rare apology, and stared at him with a pair of eyes, looking at him in surprise, and said, "Brother Gu, you said you were going to go to the battlefield?"
"Of course!" Speaking of this, Gu Xingfeng raised his head very proudly, and the young man's crisp voice echoed in the air, as if he was swearing an oath.
"Whoever wants to stay at home and read those Four Books and Five Classics is not the work of a manly man! In the future, I will join the army and make meritorious contributions and become a world-famous general!"
