Chapter 12: The Beautiful Man Next Door
As the saying goes, good things don't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles.
I can't see her diligence, kindness, or sweetness, or rather, what people want to see is something that can be used to talk about cooking and talking, other people's dirtiness or bitterness.
Jing Xiangzi's unfilial daughter was infamous again, but what was different from before was that no matter where Luo Qi went, no one dared to point fingers at her face-to-face, and even the most pungent Liu butcher in the adjacent households only lowered his eyes when he saw her, and when she walked away, he dared to spit on the ground.
It was a cloudy day, and it looked like it was going to rain.
Luo Qi finished collecting his own clothes, came to He's house early, and helped He's family collect them.
He Ziyong didn't go out, sitting under the eaves with his big straw hat, and crossed Erlang's legs as an uncle.
He Shi looked at Luo Qi, who was happy and optimistic in front of him but obviously lost weight, and his little face was pointy and pitiful, "Tell me, a good little lady's family, you have to make such a ...... like this."
"If you don't get in the way, sit upright, I'm not afraid."
There was a chuckle from the straw hat under the eaves, Luo Qi squinted his eyes and smiled and pretended not to hear, He Ziyong and her, now they are no longer tense, and they will say hello when they meet occasionally, Luo Qi is grateful for his enlightened words, and only he knows what He Ziyong thinks.
followed He's busy sewing work in the yard by daylight, and there was a chat without a match, He Ziyong never made a sound again, probably asleep.
There's not much work to do in the afternoon, okay, so treat yourself to months of hard work.
Luo Qi slept deeply at home, and dimly heard the sound of ducks in the yard, got up and pushed open the window to take a look, and slapped himself in the face in disbelief.
"It hurts~"
In the small yard, there were more than a dozen ducks, each with their legs tied, flapping their wings and stretching their necks to call.
"Ducks from the sky? I'm not dreaming! ”
When Luo Qi was about to pinch himself again, a sneer came from the wall next door.
"Qi Niang is up, hey, don't run, hey, don't run!"
"Aunt He?"
Luo Qi casually cut his hair, ran out of the house in confusion, and jumped up and down the duck pile to the edge of the wall to take a look.
Good guys, there are more than a dozen ducks in the yard of the He family, one of them broke free from the rope on his feet, flapping his wings and scurrying all over the yard, He has a few white fluff on his head, and he is full of energy, which is different from the usual calm and gentle.
Now it's ...... Particularly energetic, special ...... Taste of life.
Luo Qi looked back and forth in the courtyards of the two houses, leaned on the low wall and asked the man with a hat who was also leaning against the wall to watch the excitement, "Brother He, these ducks are you put in my yard." ”
"My surname is He Ziyong, my name is respectful, and I am not called brother."
“…… Well, we say ducks ......"
"Shiro, Shiro!" Jia Shi came back early for the first time, grabbed the duck with three hands and four in the other, and happily kicked the door, "Open the door!" ”
Luo Qi reflexively shrank down, listening to Jia Shi and Shilang's chatter.
"Mother, why did you buy so many ducks, are you going to raise them until the Chinese New Year?"
"Silly boy, your mother and I have good luck today, after eating, I saw a dozen people guarding the West Gate, this is okay, follow up and take a look, I drop my God, haha, it turns out that Widow Yang, who raises ducks outside the west gate of the city, has a leg behind her back and Zhang Luoguo in the East City Restaurant, I know that **** is not a good thing, and I don't know who to show it to with a small waist all day long!"
If you really dare to say anything in front of the child, Luo Qi frowned and listened.
"Don't you see, the tigress of the Zhang family, hey, dragged out that sassy hooves is a stick, such a big four-row duck house, don't say a word, crackling and smashing, the white duck is running out like water, you don't see it, your old son is left and right, left and right, quick, pour saliva and drink for your mother first!"
"Yo, the He family's sister-in-law also went?"
"No, it's ...... It's Daro. ”
"It's Da Lang, it's good to have a top son, one, two, three, four...... Yo, fifteen ducks, oh my God, the He family's sister-in-law is really blessed! ”
"Huh...... Hehe......"
Jia Shi was very excited, but after counting the ducks of the He family, he didn't continue to shout with Shilang, praised a few more sourly, and slammed the door into the house.
Luo Qi heard that there was no sound, and then he came out, and the voice under the hat had a hint of a sullen smile, "The spicy Zhao Qiniang dares to cut people with a kitchen knife, how can he be afraid?" ”
“…… He Ziyong, who reads the book of sages, also went to pick up people's teeth. ”
There seemed to be a sound of teeth rubbing under the hat, Luo Qi raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Speaking of ducks, what are you going to do with the ducks in my yard?" ”
"If you don't want it, naturally find a place to throw it away."
“……”
Dead child, if you have something to say, you can't say it well!
"There are fifteen in your family, and one, two, and three in mine...... It's also fifteen, how did you get it back? ”
Luo Qi couldn't help but think of a big hat full of ducks staggering home, sneezing as he walked, and he had to make a poem without slipping away, and the cold was cold......
"What are you thinking?" Asked suspiciously, Luo Qi blinked and smiled slightly, I don't tell you, aren't you curious.
"You haven't told me how you got it back?"
"No." He Ziyong pointed his chin to the courtyard of his house, and two large round bamboo baskets more than one meter high were open in the corner of the courtyard.
"You're not going to go prepared, are you?"
Wait, outside the West Gate...... The widow of the Yang family...... Duck......
Wasn't that the woman she went to at noon that day, and splashed her with dirty water?
Luo Qi looked at He Ziyong suspiciously, "What are you doing there?" And how can it be so coincidental? ”
"yes, that's a coincidence." The latter flicked the dust on his sleeve and leisurely went back to the house.
She was stunned for a while, inexplicably, and her mood was much brighter as if the haze had suddenly receded today.
Soon, her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of quacking, what do you want about this duck all over the ground?
Before it got dark, Luo Qi found two rags and wrapped his hands, and in the northwest corner of the yard, he learned how to break branches and insert them into the soil, and inserted a simple large fence duck house with a roof.
The sun had already run to the west, and she spread a thin layer of straw on the duck hutch before she untied the ropes one by one and threw them in.
The last one, she hesitated, didn't put it in, first went back to the house and simply freshened up, and then knocked on the door of the He family with the duck.
He Ziyong didn't know why, he was obviously reading, but those words just couldn't get along with him, in recent months, he was becoming more and more impetuous, and there were some shadows in his heart, as soon as he heard the knock on the door, he subconsciously threw the book and came to open the door.
But as soon as the door opened, a white-haired duck was held high in front of him, and he suddenly regretted it.
"Can you please help kill one?"
"I can't."
took a decisive step back, and He Ziyong decisively refused.
"He Ziyong, are you a man...... Belch...... People ......"
The sunset was reflected on the faces of the people in front of him, the brilliance between the long eyebrows and phoenix eyes flowed, and the black hair rippling with red-gold light was scattered behind his head at will, swaying in the evening breeze, and a wisp fell on his lips, not as cold as he usually looked at under the hat, he pouted slightly, and looked down at her like this, ah......
Luo Qi swallowed a mouthful of saliva with a grunt, and couldn't react for a long time who the beautiful man who appeared at the door of He's house was.
"Are you going to hold a duck at my door?"
Well, all the good things were shattered at this moment, and Luo Qi was messy in the evening breeze.
I never thought that what was hidden under the hat was such a face, the face of the world, which was looked down by the phoenix eyes with a hint of evil charm in the coldness, and looked at each other through the hat, the sense of déjà vu was completely different.
Coming to Datang, this is the second time I have met a beautiful man, different from the last time, this time it is not only her little heart that is surging, but also the hormones that are about to move, and her cheeks are burning, don't be a anymore, Luo Qi!
He Ziyong looked at Luo Qi, who was pretending to be calm, he had always been conceited and beautiful, and he made fun of the little girl in front of him who was deliberately keeping a distance from him now, and suddenly raised his hand and gently probed her cheek.
Luo Qi immediately became nervous, his eyes widened and he didn't dare to move.
The slender fingers turned halfway and took a small piece of eiderdown from the bun next to her ear, "No, this." ”
I'm going to die......
He Ziyong turned around, the corners of his mouth were raised high, and Luo Qi followed behind in frustration and frustration holding the duck.
He leaned on the door of the house, looking at the two people in the sunset, Amitabha, Miss, the painting finally lived up to your trust.
