fifty-seven

Xu Yu lay in bed for nearly a month, until her health gradually improved, and her family let her walk around on the ground.

Because he has been sick for too long, this body has almost stopped growing, not only thin, but also short, so the first thing Xu Youneng did after moving was to pull Ah Chu to exercise together.

The Meng family's family is acceptable, although they live in the city, they have a small courtyard, the courtyard is surrounded by high walls, and when the courtyard door is opened, it is a deep alley. Because I heard Ah Chu say that there were many Hu people in the city, and they were violent and rude, she didn't dare to go out, and the trotters were all in the yard. Ah Chu was not interested at first, but he really couldn't find other playmates, so he ran with Xu You for a few days, and later, Xu You didn't call him, and he took the initiative to jump out.

In addition to trotting, Xu Yu also stretched in bed every night and did a set of Pilates, and after half a year, she finally gradually recovered and had the appearance of a normal child. The second aunt didn't always detain her in the yard like before, and occasionally called her when she went out to buy vegetables in the morning.

Yunzhou is very different from the capital, the houses in the city are not high, and there are not many people, so naturally it is not as lively as the capital. You can see Hu people with different makeup everywhere on the street, most of them are still kind, but there are also some who are very arrogant and domineering, simply looking at people with their nostrils, shouting and beating with their mouths open, shouting and killing with their mouths closed, and the people around them dare not speak out.

Although he was angry at this situation, Xu You couldn't help but work hard to adapt. Xue Dad and the second uncle worked in the yamen, going out early and returning late every day, sometimes even staying directly in the county ya, Mrs. Meng also went out early and returned late, and only the second aunt was busy at home, Ah Chu was young and couldn't help, but Xu You couldn't still pretend to be a patient, and as soon as her body improved, she began to help her with housework.

Seeing this, Ah Chu also came over to help. The second aunt of the Meng family was immediately relieved, and praised him many times without hesitation, and Ah Chu became more and more proud.

Sometimes Ah Chu will call Xu You to go to the nearby neighbor's house to run the door, the neighbors heard that the daughter of the Meng family who had been sick for several years finally recovered, they were all curious, and they came to see the excitement, and saw that Xu You could really walk and run, they were all surprised, and a gray-haired mother-in-law next door said to Xu You while sighing and amazed: "You girl is really a blessing from the previous life to be born in the Meng family, in the past few years, your father smashed on you The money is enough to make a golden man." ”

Xu You didn't know how to react, just laughed. She felt a little sad and guilty in her heart, the daughter that Xue Dad loved so much was actually long gone, but now it was another person living in her body, she couldn't even show it at all, she could only pretend that everything was as before, so that Xue Daddy might be better.

In the evening, Mrs. Meng went back with Xue Dad and the second uncle, and the old lady fell asleep on the road, but fortunately she was not injured, but Xue Daddy and the second uncle refused to let her go out to work again, and told Xu You and Ah Chu to look at the old lady, and the younger brother said: "Xiaoxue is not too young, and it is also the time to learn from the girl, so her mother will stay at home and teach her well." ”

Nani! Xu You almost jumped up from the dinner table, "Embroidery!" "Why did she want to learn this!

Mrs. Meng seemed to suddenly think of this question, turned her head to look at Xu You, stroked her palms and laughed, "That's right, our Xiaoxue is ten years old, you can't be as stupid as before, Grandma Ming'er will teach you to be a female red, we don't have to learn how difficult it is, you can tailor and make shoes, you can't even make your own clothes when you get married in the future." ”

They gave this matter in a few words, and Xu You didn't have any room to interject, in fact, if she really asked her to say it, she didn't know what reason Lu Dao used to oppose it.

When she really started to follow Mrs. Meng to learn from female popularity, Xu You found that it was not as terrible as she imagined. Mrs. Meng is a person with special life wisdom, less than half a hundred, if she is placed now, the absolute mainstay of society, she can pull her two sons to grow up alone, and she can also teach her sons well, this alone is enough to make Xu You admire.

Perhaps sensing that Xu You was a little resistant to female popularity, Mrs. Meng did not rush her to learn as soon as she got started, but turned out the tricks she made a long time ago to show Xu You, and only taught others when she aroused her interest. After two days of study, Mrs. Meng will find something else to do, it is the best spring of the year, the bracken in the mountains and by the water grows well, this morning, Mrs. Meng called Xu You and A Chu, the three ancestors and grandchildren went out of the city to pick bracken together.

This is Xu You's first time out of the city, she has been at home for half a year, and now she finally comes out to see everything fresh. Like her, there is also Ah Chu, this little guy has a lot of words, and along the way out, he pulled Mrs. Meng to ask questions, Mrs. Meng has a good temperament, she is well-informed, and she can talk about every little thing vividly, even Xu You is fascinated.

“…… I think that when those Hu people first entered our Yunzhou, they were much more domineering than now, and they didn't give money to anyone who took anything from their shop on the street, and your father was angry, so he said hello to the county master, and led a group of people to arrest those evil Hu people in prison, and this time it stabbed the hornet's nest......"

Xu You was a little excited when she heard this, she didn't expect that Xue Dad seemed to be a calm and steady person, and when he was so impulsive, she couldn't help but ask: "Then what about later, the county master didn't hand over his father." ”

"How come, our county master is a tough guy, he didn't get a favor from him when the old man of the Qin family was there, and those Hu people dared to do anything to him. In the end, there are still many Han people in Yunzhou City, and the Hu people dare not mess around. The Hu people made a few troubles, and in the end, they didn't honestly pay the silver to pay the money to the shop, so they were released. The old lady of the Meng family obviously spoke highly of the county lord of Yunzhou, and along the way, she was telling Xu You and Ah Chu about the heroic deeds of this official, Xu You was older, but Ah Chu had already regarded the county lord whom she had never met as an idol.

The three of them entered the mountain while talking. This mountain is not high, the mountain is densely covered with trees, and under the trees are large areas of small shrubs and all kinds of spring grasses, because it has just rained a few days ago, the bracken is growing fat, just because this mountain is just outside the city, people have already entered the mountain to pick a batch, and the position at the foot of the mountain is almost no trace of bracken.

Mrs. Meng had already prepared, and took out two simple bamboo whistles from the basket and gave them to Xu You and Ah Chu, and said: "After a while, we have to go deep into the mountains when we enter the mountain, and we can't tell when we will be separated. ”

Ah Chu curiously took the bamboo whistle and looked left and right for a while, and when he brought it to his mouth, he blew it fiercely, and was immediately startled by the sharp voice, "Ah! She covered her ears with a scream, looked at the old lady Meng who was smiling innocently, blinked her eyes and said, "What a loud voice." ”

Xu You covered his mouth and smiled, patted his head, and said, "You put away the whistle carefully, don't disappear for a while, you can't find us, and there will be wild beasts to take you away at night." ”

Ah Chu was not afraid at all, hugged Mrs. Meng's leg and said, "I will follow Grandma, so I won't lose it." If you want to lose it, you will lose it. ”

The three of them quickly entered the mountain and followed Mrs. Meng's footsteps into the mountains. Sure enough, the further you go inside, the more and more fat and tender the bracken becomes, which is simply surprising. At first, Xu You didn't think that she would be separated from Mrs. Meng at all, but when she really picked up the wild vegetables, she wouldn't pay attention to these things at all, and after walking for a short time, she suddenly remembered and looked around, and she was already gone.

"Ah Chu—" Xu You shouted, and no one around replied, obviously not nearby. Xu You is not in a hurry, this mountain is not big, the terrain is not rugged, although Ah Chu is only five years old, but he has always been very courageous, and he is also clever, so nothing can happen. Just thinking about it, I actually heard his response again, "Sister, Sister Xiaoxue-"

Xu You followed his voice to find it, only to find that this little guy actually found a tattered little shed on the side of the road and sat down, and when he saw Xu You looking for him, he beckoned to her and said, "Sister, you also come and sit." ”

"Tired?" Xu You took off the bamboo basket on his back and put it aside, and poked his head to look at Ah Chu's small bamboo basket, there were actually a lot of fat and tender bracken in it, and even wild celery, "Ah Chu is really capable." She sat down next to him and touched his brain, praising him.

Ah Chu immediately became happy and said, "I've been picking, I've been picking, and I haven't stopped." Later, I couldn't walk anymore, so I stopped and rested. What about Grandma? ”

"I'm going somewhere else, don't worry, it's still early." Xu You turned out the steamed buns in the bamboo basket, gave one to Ah Chu, and took one himself, the two of them held the steamed buns and gnawed them unhurriedly, and were eating deliciously, when they suddenly heard a rush of footsteps from the mountain, and the two followed the voice, only to see a thin and tall young man rushing down the mountain like a gust of wind, Xu You didn't have time to see his appearance, the young man had already rushed over.

"What is he doing? It was as if a dog was chasing him. Ah Chu asked in a low voice.

Xu You stared at the mountain trail that was already empty for a long time, and shook his head, "Who knows what about the road?" She felt as if she was a little demonic, so she glanced at it in a hurry, and actually felt that the young man looked like Zhao Chengjin, she didn't see the person's appearance clearly at all, and how could Zhao Chengjin appear in the mountains of Yunzhou? That's weird.

She ate all the steamed buns in her hand in three or two bites, patted her ass and got up, and heard the noisy footsteps from the mountains, as well as the sound of loud talking and scolding, Ah Chu blinked, suddenly pulled Xu You's sleeve, and whispered a little excitedly: "Sister, I seem to hear my father's voice." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu You saw the second uncle and a group of men dressed up to catch fast appear at the top of the mountain road. Seeing their sister and brother, the second uncle was also slightly surprised, and quickly rushed to the two of them and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

Ah Chu replied first: "Grandma took us out to pick bracken, Daddy, are you catching the bad guys?" ”

The second uncle's face stiffened slightly, his expression was unnatural, he smiled reluctantly, and said, "Yes." ”

A tall man came over and glanced at Xu You and Ah Chu a few times, and asked with a smile: "Is it the child of Meng Zhukuai's family, or is it the first time I will see you." "This man's facial features are deeper, not like a Han Chinese.

The second uncle also replied with a smile: "Xiaoxue is my eldest brother's daughter, just such a lifeline, she is locked at home on weekdays and is not allowed to go out, and it is not strange that Yuan Zhutou has never seen it." ”

This Yuan Zhutou seemed to have some scruples about Xue Dad, his attitude changed vaguely, and he actually squeezed out a smile on his face and nodded at Xu You, and asked "kindly": "Did the little girl see anyone passing by here just now?" ”

Xu You nodded, "Yes, an old man ran down from here." ”

At the moment when they were talking, there was actually another person from the direction of the mountain, Xu You turned his head to look over there, and almost lost his breath in an instant.

Zhao ...... Zhao Chengjin ...... It's really him!

This is like a dream, Xu You bit the tip of his tongue and immediately felt pain. It's not a dream, Zhao Chengjin, he's still alive, and, right in front of him.

He is very different from his previous appearance, his previous small round face is elongated, the lines are still soft and immature, his eyes look like Rui Wangye, long and sharp, hidden under the heroic eyebrows, slightly lowered, and the look in his eyes has been removed, and he wears a new wide Confucian costume, and when the wind blows, the clothes are swaying on his body.

He seemed to have just looked at the group of people in front of him, a little surprised, and a little panicked, shrunk for a moment, his body was a little unstable, and he looked at them timidly, not daring to go forward, like a timid scholar.

Second uncle, are they arresting him?

Xu You had a stirring in his heart, and he immediately understood.

"Boy, what are you doing?" Na Yuan glanced at Zhao Chengjin, his eyes rolled, and he immediately paid attention, so he rushed forward and yelled at him with a throat.

Xu You quietly pinched Ah Chu, took a deep breath and stepped forward, "Brother Shun, why did you come?" I've been waiting for you for a long time! ”

Yuan Zhutou was stunned for a moment, and looked back at Xu You, "The little girl knows him?" ”

Xu You smiled, "It's Brother Shun, who went up the mountain with us." After that, she yelled at Zhao Chengjin angrily, "You nerd, where did you throw the bamboo basket again?" I don't have five or six all day long, even Ah Chu is not as good, no matter how stupid I am, next time I will tell my grandmother that I won't bring you here. ”

Although Zhao Chengjin didn't understand what she wanted to help herself, he was not stupid, so he naturally knew that he went down the stairs and touched the back of his head stupidly, for fear of being scolded, he glanced at Xu You timidly, and whispered back: "I...... I fell, and the basket ...... Just ......"

The second uncle interjected with a smile, "It's just a bamboo basket, if it falls, it will fall, Xiaoxue, what are you arguing about." After that, he paused again, and said to Xu Yu with a little reproach: "How many times have you said that you want to call Brother Xiaoshun, Brother Shun is long all the time, Brother Shun is short, be careful of being scolded by Grandma." ”

Xu You showed an unconvinced look, and didn't dare to get angry at the second uncle, so he glared at Zhao Chengjin fiercely. Zhao Chengjin became more and more uneasy, lowered his head, and glanced at her quietly from time to time, which was very pitiful.

Ah Chu didn't know what to do, he glanced at them a few times, and after the most embarrassing, he actually called out to Zhao Cheng honestly, "Brother Xiaoshun." ”

Since they are all acquaintances, Yuan Zhutou just wanted to put the charges on Zhao Chengjin, and he couldn't do anything at this time, so he snorted at Zhao Chengjin with a stiff face, and said to Second Uncle Meng: "Meng Zhu, let's not have time to catch the old times, we can't catch the old fox, who is it to be criticized when we turn around?" Even if there is an ambush at the foot of the mountain, there is no guarantee that he will not see through it and find another way to slip away, don't you say? ”

Second Uncle Meng smiled, "Yes, yes, let's go quickly." With that, he glanced deeply at Xu You, and led a group of catchers down the mountain.
