Chapter 7 Orphans
At the foot of the lonely mountain, outside the city of Jimo, there is a lonely dwelling, with the white thatch of the earthen wooden beams on the top, and a wooden fence composed of hemp rope and wood is enclosed outside. In the courtyard of the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info dyed cloth is hung high on the wooden pole, and small water droplets are dripping under the cloth.
Qingyin looked at the closed door of the house, and then looked into the distance, and there was no one for several miles. Thinking in his heart, there was at least half a day's journey from Jimo City, this child had not eaten for a day and a night, and was frightened, at this time he must be tired and hungry, not to mention whether she had the strength to walk so far, he really did not plan to enter the city. frowned slightly, mortals should have their own lives, and it was fate that he could save her, and he should not interfere more. The Korean Ye family was originally a large family in Ye Yi, in comparison, this family is indeed much worse, but an ordinary life is not necessarily a bad thing, he only hopes that they can kindly accept this child to avoid unnecessary trouble for him.
Qingyin turned her head to look at the middle girl who was hanging her head and was sleepy, and gently shook her little hand in her hand, the corners of her mouth rose slightly, and she smiled lightly, "But sleepy?" ”
"Huh?" The middle girl was about to fall asleep, but when she heard Qingyin's voice, she quickly raised her head, tried to open her eyes wide, and said stiffly: "No, I'm not sleepy!" But when he met his clear and gentle eyes, he nodded embarrassedly. Rubbing his eyes, "Big brother, where are we going?" ”
"Go to the house in front," Qingyin's beautiful slender hand casually pointed to the house not far ahead, "Let's see if they can take you in." ”
After hearing this, the middle girl glanced in the direction pointed by Qingyin, but instead of being happy, she silently lowered her head and said 'oh'.
"What's wrong? Don't want to go? ”
"No ......"
Although the middle girl is very obedient and sensible, she never dares to express her heartfelt thoughts, and always wrongs herself to take care of others, but the child's mind is simple, everything will be written on her face, and Qingyin doesn't have to guess to understand what she is thinking. In the past two thousand years, he has encountered many demons and immortals, and she is not the only one who has been saved. He sympathized with her plight, pitied her fate, but he would not stop his steps for such a child, besides, mortals should have a mortal life, and it was indeed inconvenient for him to take her with him.
Qingyin thought about it and instructed: "Don't tell others your surname in the future, don't mention your previous experiences, some things, forget what you should forget!" "For example, after he leaves, no one will remember his appearance.
"Well......" got closer and closer to the thatched hut in front, and the middle girl's heart became more and more sad. Turned his head and glanced at Qingyin secretly, and lowered his head silently, is it that after leaving her, he will never see him again? Perhaps it was Qingyin who saved the middle daughter when she was desperate and frightened, and took gentle care of her, and the isolated child regarded him as the only person he could trust and rely on. Now the only person who can be relied on doesn't want her......
As she walked, the middle girl suddenly stopped, blinked her big eyes, and looked at Qingyin with a look of fear of rejection, "Big brother, can I follow you all the time?" ”
Qingyin didn't expect the middle girl to finally ask such a sentence, and after being silent for a while, she sighed lightly, leaned over, turned the middle girl's body to eye level with her, and said calmly and indifferently: "I have a lot of things to do, and I can't take you with me." However, if everything is settled in the future, I will come back to you, so the middle girl will stay here and wait for me, understand? ”
When the middle girl heard this, she immediately regained her spirits, and asked with bright eyes, "Really?" ”
Qingyin smiled helplessly and touched her head, "Really." "There is hope, even if it is slim, there will be the belief to try to live. It's just that no one knows how long this 'later' is, and he has been in the world for a hundred years, and what is certain is that Qingyin will come back one day, and the middle daughter will be long gone. Of course, these words would not be said to a child, it would be too cruel.
"Big brother, then we said okay, you must come back to me."
"Hmm." Qingyin nodded, leaning over to carefully examine the middle girl's eyes. Although the middle girl's thin melon seed face is yellow and sickly, her facial features are exquisite, especially her eyes are very beautiful, black and white, bright and clear, as if she is the purest and purest existence in the world. It's just that such a pair of beautiful eyes have caused a lot of trouble for no reason. Qingyin's fingertips slowly covered the middle girl's eyebrows, silently reciting the mantra, secretly urging the mana to seal her heavenly eye.
The power of the seal descended from the center of the brow, wandering between the meridians as if searching for something. After several searches, it ended in vain, and the power gathered at the center of the eyebrows again, and then the silver light won a big victory, and it was ejected by the backlash. The method of sealing was broken, looking at the faint halo on the fingertips, Qingyin was in difficulty, this ability to understand yin and yang is mostly willing to choose people with pure hearts, if you choose the middle girl, it is normal, but what is not normal is that the middle girl is innate. If it is forced to interfere by external forces, it is to seal her cool spirit, then this child will undoubtedly lose a spirit, and he will behave like an idiot.
It's better to be able to see things that ordinary people can't see than to live a stupid life!
Seeing Qingyin frowning and looking at herself thoughtfully, the middle girl looked at him suspiciously, and asked, "Big brother, what's wrong?" ”
"Would the middle girl be afraid to see strange things?"
"Huh?" The middle girl was stunned for a moment before she understood what Qingyin was asking, thinking of the terrifying appearance of the soldier ghost and Qingjun, the middle girl still couldn't help but tremble, "They are really terrifying......"
Qingyin sighed, "I'm sorry, I can't help you." ”
The middle girl hurriedly shook her head, "It's okay. Curling the corners of his mouth and smiling sweetly, he began to comfort Qingyin, "I'm used to it!" Grandmother said that these things can't be told to others, how can the eldest brother know? ”
Qingyin smiled lightly and did not answer, stood up and motioned for the middle girl to follow, and he walked towards the house with his own steps. Although the middle girl is already smart and wise, there are some things that she may not understand.
Out of the thatched hut was an old woman with gray hair and wrinkled face, she looked at Qingyin, she should have never seen such an elegant, vulgar and picturesque and solemn person as him, slightly stunned, for a while I didn't know what to call it.
Qingyin didn't care, pulled the middle girl who was hiding behind him over, touched her head to show comfort, and talked to the old woman: "I met this child on the road, she is alone, no one takes care of her, I wonder if you can kindly take her in?" ”
The old woman calmed down a little, looked down at the middle girl, frowned, and blurted out: "Why is it a female doll?" ”
Qingyin was slightly displeased, but still bowed slightly.
The old woman didn't dare to look at Qingyin again, but for some reason it was a gentle and polite young man in front of her, but she had an inexplicable sense of awe in this old man who had lived for most of her life, and she didn't dare to come out in front of him. turned to look at the middle daughter, although she is a female doll, she is a little thinner but looks good, but she is suitable for her stupid son who has never been able to find a daughter-in-law in his twenties and fives this year to be a child daughter-in-law. Thinking of this, the old woman's heart changed, and she asked the middle girl in a kind tone: "How old are you?" ”
The middle woman looked up at the old woman's furrowed face, and did not dare to look any further, for she did not see the same kindness and kindness in that face as her grandmother, and instinctively became afraid. "Six, six years old......"
"Six years old, but it's also the age to work." The old woman nodded, she was more and more satisfied, and looked at Qingyin with a smile, how could she ask for some knife coins if she had taken in a child's innocent family and added some burden, but in the face of Qingyin, she didn't dare to speak, she just wanted to quickly accept the child and send away this immortal. "Sir, don't worry about leaving her, the old body will naturally not miss her if she has a stutter."
Parents are also to their sons, men are congratulated, and girls are killed. The world is like this, since the old woman is willing to take it in, Qingyin naturally doesn't say much, frowning and only saying 'thank you', and instructing the middle woman to leave after two sentences.
Leaving the middle girl pulled by the old woman and held it in her hand, the rough calloused hand holding her hand, the middle girl had to watch Qingyin's back step by step away, just like when she watched her father leave her in the deep mountains, she was as helpless as she watched her father leave her behind. It hurt so much in her heart that the middle girl bit her lip and couldn't cry, but her tears were disobedient and blurred her vision, and she couldn't even see the back of her eldest brother clearly. She began to sobbed quietly, trying to break free of the old woman's hand to chase Qingyin, but she couldn't break free, the sobbing turned into a big cry, crying heartbreakingly, out of breath, and finally crying so much that the old woman couldn't bear it, and slowly let go of her hand.
Without restraint, the middle girl hurriedly chased after her, but after a few steps she stopped again. He just sniffed his nose and wiped his tears, made his hands into a trumpet shape, and stood there shouting at Qingyin's back who had not gone too far: "Big brother, you have to remember to come back to me-"
The childish voice echoed at the foot of the empty mountain, each word clearly audible, and after circling, it fell low. It's such a sweet and beautiful voice, but the hearts of those who listen to it are sad.
