Li Shishi stepped across the courtyard in a few steps and quickly closed the courtyard door. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
At this time, a group of people who had searched the yard were already standing next to the big stone by the river where Liu Ya had been trapped.
In the dark night, the big man who was leading the way just now was standing respectfully beside a thin black shadow, and whispered, "What the servants of the Liu family in the courtyard said is not true, they are lying, it should be to cover up the whereabouts of that guy." ”
He was silent for a moment, then continued, "That guy is very cunning, confusing all the way, he is likely to break up with his companions here, and then leave, since they are together, the two must exchange news." It is better to arrest the people in the courtyard and torture them. ”
The thin black shadow waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need to say anything more, and said, "They don't know, so they don't need to implicate the innocent." You go and arrange, assign men, and search up and down the river, quickly. ”
The surrounding figures scattered in an orderly manner.
***************************
Liu Ya was hugged by Song's mother and sat at the low table in the kitchen, eating the burnt rabbit meat little by little.
Momiji mentally pestered her father and asked.
"Are they bad people, or are they good people? Dad, will they come back? Are they here to catch that villain? ”
"Dad, my rabbit meat, don't rob it with me."
"Miss, you say, is this rabbit meat delicious? Do you still eat sweet potatoes? ”
……
Li Shishi glanced at the red leaves jumping left and right, and spoke to Song's mother in a low voice.
"These people are not like the soldiers of the government. This matter is too complicated, I am afraid that they will go and return, it is better to go into the mountains overnight, I know the mountains well, and maybe I can hide from them. ”
Mother Song shook her head and whispered, "No, if it was necessary, I wouldn't have left just now, and since I left, I wouldn't come back." ”
Liu Ya looked up at Mother Song in surprise.
A woman in her twenties, combing her usual slanted hair, meticulous dress, ordinary appearance, majestic bearing, and a knowing confidence in her eyebrows and eyes.
This is no longer the Song mother who will laugh and tease her, and will coax her lovingly.
Liu Ya had been carefree in her previous life and had been under the care of Mother Song until she was twelve years old, and in her memory, Mother Song was nothing special like other people's nurses.
She knew she must have overlooked something in her previous life.
Mother Song raised her hand and touched Liu Ya's head, and asked her softly, "Is my sister sleepy?" If you're sleepy, go to sleep and get some rest. ”
Li Shishi hurriedly stood up and rubbed his hands, and reprimanded Hongye loudly, "I know how to eat, why don't you go and make a bed for Miss, you will stay in Miss's room and sleep on the ground today." ”
After saying that, he turned back and said, "I will sleep under the eaves of the door, and I will keep vigil." ”
The old father and the old woman stood up stiffly and persuaded in a low voice, "You can sleep on the pyre in the kitchen, it is warmer than sleeping on the eaves, and it is also cold at night in autumn, don't get frosty." ”
Mother Song got up without saying a word, hugged Liu Ya and turned out of the kitchen.
Momiji stomped his feet, trotted a few steps and followed out of the kitchen door.
The night was cool.
Mother Song slept in the bed with Liu Ya in her arms, and let Hongye sleep outside the bed.
Nothing was said all night.
***********************
Early in the morning, there was a hectic sound in the courtyard.
"Stone, you can push this unicycle away, the sisters can't walk, it's just right to take this unicycle." Daddy's deep voice revealed that there was no refusal.
"Okay, I'll send you back in a few days." Li Shishi responded heartily.
"What are you sending back for, my dad and I are old, no one can push this, and sending it back is just a number of decorations."
Listening to his wife's words with a little complaint, Dad laughed and said, "Old woman, you're right, just set it up, why keep it, stone, don't say anything about the nonsense you put away." ”
The horror of last night was afraid to fade away in these few laughs.
Liu Ya lay on the bed alone, listening to the sounds in the courtyard, calm and calm.
She lay down for a while, her hands and feet slowly gaining some strength, and she slowly got out of bed, and took the clothes that had been dried by the bed and put them on.
"Miss, Miss, the sun is all on your ass, get up, get up, eat."
Momiji happily shouted and pushed the door open.
Liu Ya smiled helplessly.
Fortunately, she gets dressed fast enough, this girl really doesn't understand any etiquette.
She greeted her with a smile, a bright smile on her delicate little face.
Momiji grabbed Liu Ya's hand and trotted into the kitchen.
Mother Song was standing by the firewood stove and was serving rice with her sleeves rolled.
Hongye let go of Liu Ya's hand, took a few steps over and served the smallest small bowl, took chopsticks, stuffed them into Liu Ya's little hand together, and said happily, "Eat quickly, eat quickly, rabbit rice, your favorite." ”
Liu Ya sat obediently on the side and ate breakfast slowly.
She was the first to eat, but she was the last to finish.
After she finished eating, Mother Song took out a silk handkerchief and touched her mouth, wiped her hands again, and then followed Li Shi to say goodbye to the two old people, and rushed to Hongye Temple along the village road.
Liu Ya has never been to the countryside, and she can't tell the difference between the farming of seedlings. It was a first for her.
Song's mother said that she had big feet and good foot strength, and she was unwilling to take a unicycle; Momiji is not happy to be trapped on a wheelbarrow at all; In the end, only Liu Ya sat cross-legged on the big wheelbarrow.
She was dazzled by the rare sights she saw all the way.
When I went out in the morning, it was noon, and although it was a detour, a few people hurried back to the Red Leaf Temple.
When she was about to reach the mountain gate, Mother Song asked Li Shishi to stop and instructed in a low voice, "Hongye Temple is taking in female dependents, and it is inconvenient for you to stay in the temple." You take the time to go to Xuanfu City to find an errand, and slowly inquire about the affairs of the Liu family and the Chen family, these two families are Miss's own family, and the other is Miss's foreign family, you inquire slowly, if there is news, then take the time to come to the temple. These are a few taels of silver, and you should take it and do it conveniently. ”
Li Shishi agreed, touched the head of the red leaf next to him, bent down to salute Liu Ya, and turned to leave.
Mother Song exhaled, took Liu Ya's hand, and took her and Hongye around the side gate of Hongye Temple, quietly entered the temple, and went to the backyard where she lived.
