Qingzhu Niang asked Lin Wan'er to have a meal in the small courtyard, and Lin Wan'er was not polite, although it was all commonplace, but Lin Wan'er ate it very sweetly.

Qingzhu Niang also prepared sake and poured it for everyone, Yang Erxi waved his hand to signal no, I don't know when Yang Erxi started to quit drinking, even Qingzhu Niang didn't know much about this matter.

Lin Wan'er handed Yang Xifeng's letter to Yang Erxi, Yang Erxi solemnly took the envelope, and walked out of the room alone, maybe it was a private secret, and she didn't want others to know.

After a short while, Yang Erxi walked in from outside the house with an expressionless face and said, "Lin Wan'er, can I go to the capital with you?" ”

Qingzhu Niang was slightly stunned, the wine glass in her hand accidentally fell to the ground and shattered, and then she smiled embarrassedly and said, "I drank too much wine, drank too much wine." ”

Yang Erxi glanced at Qingzhu Niang lightly, and asked again, "Lin Wan'er, can I go to the capital with you?" ”

Lin Wan'er knew the faint affection between Yang Erxi and Qingzhu Niang, but as an outsider, it was inappropriate to say something, this was not between Lin Renzhong and Cordyceps, Lin Wan'er, as the eldest sister, could take Cordyceps away from Lanzhou unreasonably, and take it to Shangjing, so that the fifth child could sober up in Lanzhou.

Lin Wan'er touched her brow with her hand, thought about a way to get out, and said to Baoyu and Yubao beside her: "Baoyu, Yubao, it's dark, are you sleepy, why don't you go back to sleep in the carriage?!" Lin Wan'er wanted to use Baoyu and Yubao as shields and sneaked away.

Although Baoyu is smart, he is a child after all in terms of men and women, and he can't see the greasy relationship between Yang Erxi and Qingzhu Niang, but thinks that the food on the table is good, shakes his head, and says, "Sister, I'm not sleepy." ”

Lin Wan'er had no choice but to say, "Erxi, you think about it again." ”

"Don't think about it, I'm going to the capital." Yang Erxi said with a stern face.

What was supposed to be a lively meal suddenly became a little quiet. Qingzhu Niang's heart was very confused, and she didn't know what to say or what she could say.

After a meal, Lin Wan'er took everyone out of the courtyard, returned to the convoy, beckoned everyone to rest, and went out for a walk with Chen Xiaoxiao, Gu Li followed from afar to protect the safety of the two.

Chen Xiaoxiao took Lin Wan'er's arm and said, "Sister Wan'er, do you think there will be a good result between Yang Erxi and Qingzhu Niang?" The two of them knew clearly in their hearts that they were not like Ren Zhong, they were in the mountains, and they didn't know why. Is this Yang Erxi trying to capture the old and try to test Qingzhu Niang's sincerity under the pretext of going to the capital? ”

Lin Wan'er shook her head, kicked the stones beside her with her foot, and said, "Where is Yang Erxi willing to use this method to test Qingzhu Niang." Although Yang Erxi is a scoundrel and does not do his job, he just didn't meet the right person at the right time. Qingzhu Niang is the person in Yang Erxi's life, but Yang Erxi still insists on going to the capital, which should be related to the letter. ”

Chen Xiaoxiao asked, "What did the letter say?" ”

"How do I know!" Lin Wan'er said with some emotion, "People like Yang Erxi are usually promiscuous, no one looks at them and takes them to heart, and their behavior is often out of line, in fact, they all want to attract the attention of others, once someone pays attention, Yang Erxi will transform into a full man." He wanted to go to the capital, maybe not for himself, but to mix it up, and then go back to Yangzhuang and tell the people there, I, Yang Erxi, are back. ”

At this time, in the small courtyard, the night has gradually deepened, the chickens and ducks in the small courtyard have fallen asleep, and the fat ducks are standing on one leg, keeping the night out of sight.

Yang Erxi took out the bedding, spread it on the table in the outhouse as usual, and lay down gently, pillowing one of his arms and covering his eyes with the other. In the past, Yang Erxi would always have nothing to say, and Qingzhu Niang would say something that had no nutrition at all, Qingzhu Niang never answered, even if she was sometimes so amused that she couldn't help but want to laugh, Qingzhu Niang endured it, biting the horns, and did not answer. Today is very abnormal, Yang Erxi didn't say a word.

Qingzhu Niang suddenly remembered the first time she saw Yang Erxi, Yang Erxi hurried away with a broken burden on her back, passing by the small courtyard to ask for a glass of water to drink, but her eyes were straight at the first sight when she saw Qingzhu Niang. Qingzhu Niang was used to seeing this kind of look, and snorted coldly, want to drink water? There are no doors.

Yang Erxi didn't care, turned around and left. But a few days later. This Yang Erxi actually came back and built a thatched house outside the campus. Qingzhu Niang was both angry and scared, angry that this scoundrel's scoundrel behavior was really a scoundrel, and she was afraid of what if this person forced into the house. In the days to come, those young people in the village also came to make trouble, but they were all beaten back by Yang Erxi. Qingzhu Niang once saw Yang Erxi beat a young man in the village to the point that his face was covered in blood.

Later, when the storm came, Yang Erxi's thatched house was blown away by the wind, and Yang Erxi didn't know where to find a lotus leaf, put it on his head, and looked at the light oozing out of Qingzhu Niang's room, hehe, silly music. Qingzhu Niang quietly lay on the windowsill, saw Yang Erxi in the wind and rain, she couldn't bear it, she did a long time in her heart, and finally gritted her teeth and opened the door to let Yang Erxi in. Qingzhu Niang held a knife in her hand and warned Yang Erxi not to enter the inner room, Yang Erxi obediently stayed in the outhouse, never taking a step beyond Lei Chi.

That night, Qingzhu Niang held the kitchen knife in her arms, not daring to leave an inch, when Yang Erxi snorted in the outhouse, Qingzhu Niang felt inexplicably at ease, and slept a very peaceful sleep between fear and peace of mind, and had a strange dream, and woke up with a blushing face.

Yang Erxi also slept very peacefully, but he didn't dream.

This night was similar to that night, except that there was no snoring from Yang Erxi for a long time.

Qingzhu Niang never spoke, but tonight she spoke for the first time: "Erxi, have you slept?" Qingzhu Niang may call Yang Erxi "Erxi" in front of outsiders, but she has always called Yang Erxi "Yang Erxi" on the opposite side.

If he heard this sentence in the past, Yang Erxi would definitely jump up happily as if he had eaten honey, but today he reacted very normally, and said quietly: "Not yet." ”

Qingzhu Niang didn't know where to start, and she didn't know how to speak, and finally said very clearly: "Erxi, can you stay?" ”

Yang Erxi never cried, but today he felt that his eyes were a little moist, and he shook his head to himself and said, "No." ”

"Why?"

Yang Erxi remembered his childhood and youth, and said: "I have been an orphan since I was a child, and I have never seen my parents. When I was a child, I didn't know the height of the heavens, I didn't have any friends, and no one liked to play with me, I stole the tributes in the ancestral hall, and I also stole the chickens and ducks in the neighborhood. The people in Yangzhuang call me the Demon King of the Mixed World, and I admit it, you say that people who are not disciplined by their fathers and mothers are not the Demon King of the Mixed World? Actually, I love to read, but a hooligan should have the temperament of a hooligan, what is it like to read a book. It's strange to say, since the snacks are not good, the drink is not good, I can still grow five big and three thick, which is even more solid for the scoundrel title. I...... I always thought that life would go on like this, until the day I was old, but today when I saw the letter from the village chief, I realized that someone had always cared about me. The village chief said that if you can't go to the capital and go back to Yangzhuang, Yangzhuang will always keep a piece of land. So I want to go to the capital and take a look at the scenery there, otherwise I haven't even seen the gate of the capital, and I will make them laugh when I return to Yangzhuang. ”

Qingzhu Niang heard Yang Erxi's confession, as if she had made up her mind, exhaled a long breath, and said softly: "Erxi, you come in." ”

The meaning under the words is obvious, it depends on how Yang Erxi reacts.

Yang Erxi smiled miserably in the dark and said, "Sleep, I have to leave early tomorrow morning." ”

Qingzhu Niang felt a burst of emptiness and loss in her heart.

The next day, there was a heavy fog outside the house, Yang Erxi got up lightly, packed up the bedding, picked up the tattered burden, and gently closed the door of the small courtyard, feeling reluctant, but he went to Beijing to mix, and he didn't come back if he couldn't mix.

Walking outside the small village, the convoy was ready to go, Lin Wan'er stood on the carriage, looked at Yang Erxi who was coming slowly, sighed inaudibly, and said, "Yang Erxi, you have decided to leave." ”

Yang Erxi hugged the burden on his back in his arms and said, "Everyone Lin, I have decided to go to the capital." Yang Erxi seemed to have changed as a person, as if he had become mature overnight, and even his address to Lin Wan'er had become Lin Dajia.

Lin Wan'er waved her hand and said, "Let's go." ”

The convoy set off slowly, moving forward in the fog, I don't know how long it took to walk, Yang Erxi has been walking behind, Gu Li looked at Yang Erxi's burly figure, he is a good material for practicing martial arts, and wants to teach one or two sets of boxing techniques, so he mentioned it.

Yang Erxi looked listless, nodded ignorantly, and didn't know whether he agreed or not.

"Two joys, two joys." Shouts came from the fog.

Yang Erxi suddenly became elated, and Lin Wan'er also walked out of the carriage, looking at Qingzhu Niang who came out of the fog with a smile.

Yang Erxi walked up to Qingzhu Niang and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

Qingzhu Niang turned the burden on her back, wiped the sweat on her brows, and replied: "I also went to the capital, just by the way." ”

Yang Erxi asked with some concern: "What about the small courtyard, what about the chickens and ducks, and what about the fifteen eggs in the cupboard, by the way, what about the sweet potatoes I buried next to the stove?" ”

Qingzhu Niang looked at Yang Erxi's chatter like a housewife, smashed the burden to Yang Erxi, walked to Lin Wan'er's side, and said, "Everyone Lin, do you care if you have one more mouth for idle food?" ”

Lin Wan'er smiled and said, "Of course I don't care. ”

(It's over, where am I going to find joy again.) I especially like the words Yang Erxi said - what to do with the small courtyard, what to do with the chickens and ducks, and what to do with the fifteen eggs in the cupboard, by the way, what about the sweet potatoes I buried next to the stove? ）
