From morning to night, summer cicadas begin to sing tirelessly on the branches of various trees as a way to celebrate their first and last season. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The small village on the outskirts of the city is full of cicadas, and it sounds lively but actually desolate. Because after this summer, their lives will come to an end, just like the future of the poor maid.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Xie Zhaolin couldn't believe that there was such a small village on the outskirts of the bustling capital. Looking at the vibrant bushes lies the truth of such a dilapidated and impoverished one.

There is no relatively smooth road in the village, there are trails that have been stepped out everywhere, and the houses you see along the way are mainly thatched houses, and there are few brick houses.

Occasionally, there are a few families with chickens in their yards, and they are already considered rich families in the village. And such a desolate and poor place is the home of the maid Fengjiao.

"It's here, it's just ahead." The girl who led the way pointed to the half-collapsed place in front of her, which did not even have a door, and the thatched hut covered by a dusty rag, and her eyes showed a little sympathy.

The green warbler immediately took out a small money bag and stuffed it into her, and thanked her repeatedly.

The girl who led the way took the hard money and was willing to say a few more words, she kindly reminded: "Although this Feng Jiao has suffered, there are not many kind-hearted owners like you now." Be careful when you go in, she doesn't have much time to do normally. ”

Xie Zhaolin was very grateful, and asked Lu Ying to stuff some more money, so she didn't pass the girl who led the way and walked towards the door of the house.

"Miss Feng Jiao, is Miss Feng Jiao here?" When he arrived at the door, Xie Zhaolin thought that it was not good to break into the house rashly like this, so he asked softly, for fear of frightening the people in the house.

However, after screaming several times in a row, there was no response inside, and it seemed that it was not there.

"Miss, why don't you go in and take a look, didn't the girl just say that she was a little abnormal in her brain? Maybe people are inside, but they just won't come out. The green warbler recalled the words of the girl who had led the way just now, and then proposed.

Xie Zhaolin thought about it, although she would inevitably be a little disappointed after hearing that Feng Jiao was already a little abnormal at the beginning, and felt that she had cut off an important clue, but since she had come, she always had to ask something to be willing.

So she continued to approach the door curtain, and was about to lift it, when a female voice suddenly sounded behind her, menacing: "Who are you, what are you doing at my house?!" ”

Xie Zhaolin and Lu Ying turned their heads to see that it was a woman in a light blue cotton dress, her hair was tied in a bun casually, a thick wooden hairpin was inserted, and she was holding a wooden basin in her hand, which contained a lot of clothes, obviously she had just returned from washing.

Xie Zhaolin glanced at her suspiciously and asked, "You said this is your home?" ”

The woman didn't look at her, she walked straight to the few bamboo poles outside the thatched hut, put down the wooden basin, picked up one of the washed clothes, twisted it neatly, threw her hand to dry on the bamboo pole, and replied angrily: "It's not my home, is it still your eldest lady's home?!" ”

She thought that Xie Zhaolin and the others were thieves and robbers or something, but when she looked at their clothes and looked back at her thatched house, she couldn't help but laugh, which thief would dress so gorgeously to touch her family's small broken house?

"How to talk to you! Is my young lady's good question in the way of you! Not to be outdone, the heart of the protector suddenly rose, and she said politely with a glaring gaze.

The woman let out a chuckle and muttered, "The girls in the city are just like that, they are just dressed nicely......

Unexpectedly, the tips of the green warbler's ears heard it clearly, although she was from the countryside, but she usually boasted that she was from the city, and the most unaccustomed thing was that others ridiculed her for just wearing good clothes.

"You ......"

"Alright, Green Warbler! This girl, we are from Chengxi Xie Mansion, this trip is to find Miss Fengjiao, and there is no other intention, if there is any offense, please understand. Seeing that the green warbler was about to provoke trouble again, Xie Zhaolin couldn't help but have a headache.

She thought that the green warbler had changed a lot under her teaching, especially the clear words in the restaurant yesterday made her even more impressed, so she gave up a more secure red love to bring her out, unexpectedly......

As the saying goes, "Stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person", Xie Zhaolin explained her intention gently and politely with a smile, and the woman also softened her tone and said: "From Xiefu, the west of the city? Look at you, it's the young lady of that house! It's really conscientious, and I'm here to send money again! But in the future, if you want to send it to Ningci'an, you can use it as incense money. ”

Ningci'an? What does this mean? Xie Zhaolin hurriedly asked, "What the girl means is that Feng Jiao is already ......."

"Well, she's been a nun for three or four days. Before leaving, she gave me this dilapidated hut, saying that it was to thank our family for taking care of her. Sensing Xie Zhaolin's misunderstanding, she still explained casually.

Becoming a nun? Why do you want to become a monk at every turn now! Recalling Aunt Zhang, who had also become a monk and had become Mrs. Nian'an, Xie Zhaolin's heart ached for no reason, and a wave of sadness and unwillingness surged up.

Now that he had asked where Feng Jiao was, Xie Zhaolin didn't stay any longer, just thinking about going to Ning Ci'an as soon as possible and getting things done as soon as possible. Because somehow, she always had the illusion that if she missed this time, she would never see Feng Jiao again.

After thanking the woman in the blue cloth skirt, Xie Zhaolin hurried to the outside of the village with the green warbler.

"Miss, we're going in the wrong direction, aren't we?" Sitting in the carriage, the green warbler couldn't help but feel a little strange when she noticed that the car was not driving back, but running farther away.

Xie Zhaolin was a little panicked in his heart, and only put his eyes out of the car, looking forward to arriving at Ningci'an as soon as possible, and when he heard Lu Ying's question, he replied: "Let's go to Ningci'an first." ”

So urgent? The green warbler was a little surprised: "Seeing that it's not early, don't you need to go back and report to the eldest young master first?" ”

"Go back and report, then the next time will be wasted, let's solve the matter today, at most go back and be told by the eldest brother."

Speaking of Xie Yu, she couldn't help but think of what he said yesterday, and suddenly felt a warm current surging through her heart.

The eldest brother sighed that he was sensible, and he began to think about others and care about other people's feelings. But he said that no matter what difficulties he encounters, he must remember that there will be family members behind him.

Although it is quite ridiculous that this kind of life principle is triggered by a plate of braised bamboo shoots in oil. Xie Zhaolin has benefited a lot from this.

She gradually felt the warmth of family affection, and no longer passed by so coldly, but began to regard herself as a member of this family, trying to do her part in times of crisis.

What's more funny is that Xie Yu's two plates of braised bamboo shoots in oil also made her realize that she is still far from the real second sister, and if she wants not to make people suspicious, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort and effort. (To be continued.) )
