Chapter 22: The Passage Home
Late at night.
Chen Miaoji lay quietly on the bed, I looked at his face carefully, his forehead, eyebrows, eyes, nose, mouth, every place is what I like, I couldn't help but touch his face, his nose, his chin, his beard was a little sharp, I don't know why, I actually smiled happily. I wish time stood still at this moment, because only this moment, he would not ignore me; Only at this moment, I feel so happy that I can truly own him; Only for this moment could I feel how close we were. Suddenly sad and tangled again, he was indifferent to me from time to time and ignored me, but last night he clearly cared about me, he really couldn't figure out what he was thinking, and sometimes he was a little afraid of him.
Mao Feng suddenly pushed the door in, and I hurriedly put away my emotions.
Mao Feng squatted beside Chen Miaoji's bed and looked at Chen Miaoji.
"Didn't you say you heard the screams of ghost babies? It should be you who is in pain, why is he the one who sleeps so dead? Mao Feng pointed at Chen Miaoji and asked me.
"How do I know? That's what I'm going to ask. I looked at Mao Feng with a puzzled look and asked, "Why did you tell him that he had seen me?" If you don't tell him, then he won't come to me, and if he doesn't look for me, he won't meet the ghost baby, and if he doesn't meet the ghost baby, he won't lie here. ”
I punished Mao Feng for thinking about it, holding his earlobes with both hands, and squatting on the ground. He showed that he was innocent, and after thinking for a long time, he finally spoke smoothly, and finally forgave him for being willing to exchange a secret of Chen Miaoji's secret for our friendship.
On a whim, I approached Chen Miaoji's bedside and whispered into his ear that Chen Miaoji wanted to sleep facing the wall, but he still slept facing the door. I nudged him, "You're going to sleep facing the wall." ”
"Why?" Chen Miaoji said in a daze.
"If you sleep facing the door, when you open your eyes and someone suddenly stands in front of you, how terrible is that? As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw a ghost, and I was scared to death before I was bitten to death. My hand gripped Chen Miaoji's hand tightly. As soon as I finished speaking, Chen Miaoji suddenly sat up. So, Mao Feng and I both laughed.
On November 16th, I found something sneaky and hiding in the yard. The more he didn't want me to know, the less he wanted to tell me, the more curious I became. Later, I learned that it was the eldest brother who was dismissed and punished. In hindsight, I realized that I was too ignorant, if I hadn't run out 5 years ago and the marriage was successful, maybe my big brother wouldn't have fallen to this. Even if I, the second brother, and the little brother are orphans we picked up, not the immediate family of the eldest brother, but after all, the kindness of raising over the years is not to be blamed. When I was a child, I always wondered why my surname was Ai. The eldest brother told me that I was surnamed Eniang, and later found out that it was all fake, the second brother was, the little brother was, and so did I, we are all adopted relatives, just like the pets raised by the big brother, just like the children of the big brother. The family history is extremely complex, and it ends here.
Years of feelings and past events are vivid, so what if you are not a parent? If my eldest brother didn't treat me as his relative, he wouldn't care about me so much, and he acquiesced in running away from home in the first place, otherwise I wouldn't have escaped so easily. Just like Wangcai, it turns out that we are really the same. My feelings for Wangcai are real, just like the big brother treats us, Wangcai will not leave me because I am poor, and I will not do this to the big brother.
The eldest brother, who was only 28 years old at the time, ascended to the highest military rank in the Qing Dynasty army step by step, and became the highest military rank among the generals of the Huai Army at that time. He didn't know how bitter it was in his heart, all his previous efforts were in vain. Disheartened, he stayed in his hometown of Hefei, building a large number of buildings and building a manor.
In the last few days, my little brother and I have been worrying about the cost of getting home. More is not only the travel expenses, but also the expenses of the family, the eldest brother used to have his support when he was working, but now it is not as good as before.
It's time to do something for Big Brother.
November 20th.
I was forcibly dragged under the kapok tree by Chen Miaoji, "How long are you going to hide from me?" ”
"Who hid from you?" My originally domineering face was suddenly overshadowed by nervousness.
"So where have you been these days?"
"Where do I go, what's the matter with you? You didn't come to me yourself, you asked Mao Feng to come and probe my tone? You say you're a big man, why are you so daring? Looking at his very serious expression, my heart suddenly became crisp, and my voice was infinitely soft, "Do you love me?" Have you ever loved me? Even with a little bit of motivation, we can be together. ”
His expression was embarrassed.
Chen Miaoji originally wanted to come to me to help him, because I am a psychic, and I can still see unclean things during the day, but I don't know why, after meeting, the atmosphere between the two people is very discordant, and it is really tormenting.
Chen Miaoji approached me three times before and after, but I refused, and each time I broke up unhappily.
November 21st.
Mao Feng told me Chen Miaoji's secret, that is, Chen Miaoji's view of the world is black and white. The most important thing is that Chen Miaoji avoided me because his family betrothed him to him. It's just that now the bride is unconscious. Chen Miaoji snubbed me because he had a marriage contract and didn't want to harm me.
But you obviously like me, don't you? He has approached me three times, which is enough to prove that he loves me!
When I think of big brother. As soon as I gritted my teeth, I could only be cheeky and go to Chen Miaoji again. Bargaining became his finances, he caught ghosts, and I counted the money. At first, the money was collected just to collect money to get home. Well, since you don't admit that you love me, then I'll stay by your side.
On the evening of November 23rd.
Mao Feng and I secretly approached Chen Miaoji's room, and suddenly the surroundings fell silent......
"He's sleeping, what are we going to do?" I hid my little excitement.
"Do you have a better idea?" Mao Feng's eyes lit up.
"He finally fell asleep and no one cared about us, of course he was looking for fun." I smirked.
"Uh~" Mao Feng looked at me blankly.
"Oh, go out and play, there's definitely nothing fun here!" I can't wait.
"Do you know the road?" Mao Feng looked at me in surprise.
"Isn't it dark yet, call Wangcai, Wangcai knows the way back!" I smiled happily, "Besides, we can make a marker." Follow the markers and you'll definitely find it back. It's such a big person, so you don't even know how to come back. ”
"Okay. Let's go. ”
After walking for a long, long time, I finally arrived at the bazaar. Mao Feng walked to my side: "Did you leave a mark?" ”
"Nope!" I was stunned for two seconds: "I thought you stayed." ”
"I'm ahead of you...... I thought you'd stay! Mao Feng and I stared wide-eyed.
"It's over, it's over, it's doomed, you're going to sleep on the street before you are kicked out of the door by the rogue rabbit." I simply sat down on the floor.
"And that's not because of you!" Mao Feng looked at me with a depressed expression: "By the way, you didn't leave a note or anything when you went out?" ”
"Why did you leave a note?"
"If you get lost, let the senior brother come to us." Mao Feng reminded.
I shook my head, "You told me not to tell the rogue bunny." ”
"That's really going to sleep on the street."
"Where are we?" I looked at the dazzling street of goods, looked up at the sky, and the streets around me were constantly spinning, and I felt dizzy.
"I don't know~" Mao Feng said faintly.
"It's all merchandise, and there's nothing fun here!" I pouted, frowned, and was cute.
"Or, go ahead!" Mao Feng suggested.
I walked with heavy steps, showing longing eyes, very reluctant to walk, but still sighed and left, I smiled wryly...... "What is the difference between this and being kicked out of the house?" ”
Minutes and seconds passed. Chen Miaoji was woken up by the sound of ding-dong outside the door. The eyelids opened a small slit slightly, and explored the information of the outside world. I recall what Ai Xiaoman said: 'If you sleep with your back against the wall, if you open your eyes and are not bitten to death, you will be scared to death by unclean things.' After thinking about it, I suddenly felt a little scared. The so-called belief is something, and there is no belief without belief.
Chen Miaoji didn't dare to move, closed his eyes, listened with his ears up, listened to what was going on outside, swallowed saliva in his mouth, and kept praying in his heart, 'You can't see me, you can't see me.' Eventually, the frightening process lasted for an hour or so before it stopped. The aftermath echoed in my head, and it didn't fade for a long time. My heart is constantly hairy, and my trembling legs keep trying to escape. Those terrifying faces from the past immediately surfaced in front of him, scaring Chen Miaoji awake alive.
Chen Miaoji woke up and sat on the bed, looked around and didn't find Ai Xiaoman. Chen Miaoji quickly went through what happened some time ago in his mind, and the ghost baby had been taken in by him. It stands to reason that Ai Xiaoman should be pressed by his own feet, and then when he opened his eyes, he could see Ai Xiaoman looking at him aggrievedly. But now that I have rummaged through the house, I have almost not dug three feet into the ground, and I have not seen any trace of Ai Xiaoman. "Where did you go?" Chen Miaoji muttered to herself. I vaguely remember that I vaguely and faintly saw Chen Xin and Chen Biao coming.
Chen Miaoji ran downstairs and searched frantically everywhere: "Xiao Man! Xiao Man! Xiao Man! ”
I don't know where I am anymore, standing alone at the crossroads of the street, and I am lost with Mao Feng. As I dragged forward with heavy footsteps, suddenly a figure crossed in front of me. It must have been Chen Miaoji who came to pick me up, and when I looked up, I was about to shout the name of the rogue rabbit, but it turned out to be a strange man.
"Little Man......"
Suddenly, I heard a familiar call behind me, and I turned around. "Rogue Bunny!" I shuddered, as if I was shuddering. I immediately rushed over and hugged him.
"Remember to tell me where you're going in the future, even if it's a note." Chen Miaoji said.
I looked at Chen Miaoji's still gentle eyes, but I nodded vigorously in a serious tone. Seeing Ai Xiaoman like this, Chen Miaoji kissed her forehead warmly. Then he hugged her into his arms. "Where did you get all these squid?" Chen Miaoji looked at Ai Xiaoman, who was covered in fishy smell, in surprise......
