Chapter IV: Sudden (1)
Abei was carried home.
His face was covered with blood and mud, his clothes were torn open and covered with mud, and his exposed arm was bruised and swollen, and it was fixed and tied by two wooden planks.
"Brother!"
Grandma is gone, Abba is leaving, only Brother.
However, Ah Di also had an accident.
Assi didn't feel that she was trembling all over, she looked at her brother in front of her who was frowning and closing his eyes and snorting in pain, and tears flowed down her eyes.
"Miss Song, your brother is fine, most of the flesh wounds, that is, the broken arm, have been fixed by a doctor. This ointment is applied to the wound. Only then did Assi notice that there was an extra stranger in the house, about forty years old, with a crab shell blue robe, a small mustache on his chin, and narrow eyes.
"Asi, you salute Mr. Mu on behalf of Abba." Abba Song leaned on the quilt with a calm face.
Axi wiped away his tears, nodded in response, and bowed to Mr. Mu, saying, "Thank you Mr. for helping, it's just that my brother provoked someone to be beaten like this?" ”
"It's the young master of the He family in Zhenbei, I don't know the specific things, when your brother wakes up, you will ask him in person, but I advise Miss Song, you can't tell the He family this truth, even if our Xu family meets the He family, we have to retreat." Mr. Mu put the money bag in his hand on the table: "You take this money, Master Song take care of your body, and I will leave first." Then he turned and left.
Assi picked up the money bag and chased after him: "Mr. Mu, is it my brother who was saved by Master Xu?" I can't ask for this money, you can take it back. On behalf of me, Abba, thank you, Master Xu. ”
Mr. Mu turned around: "Miss Song, you are married to a family, you can take this money for you, I see," he raised his eyes and looked around: "You really need it." He walked to the door, and as if he remembered something, he turned back to Assi and said, "Oh yes, I heard that the master meant to finish the marriage as much as possible, and it is estimated that the matchmaker will come to talk in the next two days, so you should prepare as much as possible." With that, he left.
Mr. Mu walked out of the door, and Fang Zi, who was driving the carriage outside, jumped down from the carriage, put a footstool, and waited for Mr. Mu to get into the carriage, jumped on it himself, raised the reins and drove the carriage to the town.
"Mr. Mu, you say, why did the master marry such a daughter-in-law for the young master?" Fang Zi had a grass root in his mouth.
Mr. Mu stretched out his hand and knocked on his head: "You speak carefully, this is the master's choice." ”
Fang Zi tilted his head: "I'm just not worth it for the young master, with the character of our young master, how can a good daughter-in-law not be married?" Even the young lady of the Taishou family in Dian County is not worthy of our young master. ”
Mr. Mu slapped Fang Zi and almost knocked him out of the car: "If you don't talk about it anymore, I'll let you go to the dock in Shahe to move goods." ”
Fang Zi touched the painful place, shut up and stopped talking.
Assi stood in the courtyard, shame and humiliation flooding in, her eyes were hot, and the money bag she clenched tightly in her hand was as hot as a piece of red-hot charcoal, and she couldn't throw it away if she wanted to.
The money bag seemed to contain a tael of broken silver, and Assi stuffed the money bag into his arms and fetched water to wipe Abei's face.
"Abba, you can lie down." Ah Xi wiped Ah Bei's face and said, "Ah Di is fine, I can't change his clothes, I will find someone to help him change his clothes and wipe his body in a while." ”
Abba Song lay down by himself, his hands in the nest clenched, and his thin face had an unusual flush. Assi didn't notice, she boiled the water, poured the bowl and put it where Abei could reach it with his raised hand. As soon as she went out, she saw Lu Lan and Lu Feng coming to her house.
"Asi, I've washed all your clothes for you." Lu Lan handed a basket of wet clothes to Assi, "I'll take a look and see if there's anything I can help with here." ”
Ah Xi took the clothes, thanked them, and asked Lu Feng to help Ah Bei change his clothes without pretentiousness.
Lu Feng readily agreed: "I went to Wushan with Song Bei to dig medicine, and he helped me many times, if you don't say this little favor, I will also help." ”
Lu Lan and Ah Xi went to the kitchen to cook, and Lu Lan said while adding firewood: "Aren't you surprised why I suddenly be so close to you?" ”
Assi pursed his lips and smiled, "Hmm." ”
Lu Lan looked up and said, "Do you remember that after your grandmother passed away last year, one day you met me on the road when you came back from going to the grave?" ”
Assi tilted his head and thought about it, as if there was such a thing.
That day, I sold my old house and just moved it to the courtyard at the entrance of the village, which was a wasteland opened by Abba and several uncles in the village. She felt sad and went to Grandma's grave to sue Grandma about this, and when she went back, it was almost dark, and she met Lu Lan who was arguing with someone next to the bud rice field on the side of the road. There was no one around at the time, and when they heard her coming, they didn't speak at the same time.
"Oh, I remember, I didn't delay you that day, did I?" Assi remembered that when she saw the man's face, Lu Lan looked like she had cried again, so she panicked.
"No, I haven't had a chance to thank you, if it weren't for you that day, I would ......" Lu Lan's eyes were red, and the flames of the stove reflected her face red.
"Huh?" Ah Xi put the bud rice cake on the edge of the pot, added some water to the pot, clapped his hands and sat beside Lu Lan and looked at her.
"That man is my cousin's brother, my aunt wants to kiss me, I don't want to, he came to look for me that day." Lu Lan lowered her head: "I'm scared in my heart, I can't leave, and it's not good to tell others, say it, I'm afraid that if I don't want to marry, I have to marry, but fortunately, you said that my grandma is looking for me, so I can run away." ”
Axi's eyes widened, if it weren't for the sadness she felt that day, seeing that Lu Lan didn't come home so late, and thinking that it was herself, Grandma would definitely be worried, so she casually said let her go home early, her grandma was worried about her. Otherwise, Lu Lan will be bullied.
There was no one around, it was dark again, and the ground was so deep.
Assi shook Lu Lan's hand: "What happened later?" Did he look for you again? ”
Lu Lan smiled and shook her head: "My grandma was unhappy when I came home late, and when I asked me, I said that my cousin asked me to go out and went to the bud rice field, and I finally came back." Grandma's face turned blue at that time, and she didn't say anything about letting me marry my cousin later. ”
Assi also smiled: "That's fine." I made bud rice and wild vegetable cakes, you can have lunch at my house. I don't have anything else to eat at home. ”
Lu Lan sniffed: "Okay, it smells good." ”
"What's so fragrant about the wild vegetable cake!" Assi lifted the lid of the pot and turned the cake over, and the buds were yellow, orange, orange and golden.
