Chapter 61: Fate
The little princess of Qixin quietly lost Beiqi for a day, and she didn't do anything special.
Just holding hands and saying something that seems boring to adults,
"Daddy said that he would continue to take me out to play in the future, and he would take me to a lot of places, Brother Beiqi, let's go together."
Or eat quietly in bed,
"Brother Beiqi, you eat this one, it's very delicious."
Or two people don't say anything and just sleep.
The people around Princess Qixin also felt that Beiqi was a little weird, most of the time it was Princess Qixin talking, Beiqi sometimes just nodded, smiled slightly, and more often didn't even say anything. They asked Chunfu's mother-in-law, but the mother-in-law only said that Beiqi was tired from the boat and was not feeling well.
In the evening, Qi Xin went back first. Bei Qi fell heavily on the bed again and closed his eyes. asked him if he wanted to eat, Beiqi didn't answer, just simply shook his head and didn't do anything anymore.
The seventh girl was very anxious when she looked at Beiqi like this, worried that Beiqi would get any illness because of this. Chunfu's mother-in-law was also anxious, and after telling Gong Zhu about it, Gong Zhu sighed,
"It seems that I still need to enlighten this child well."
Granny Chunfu sat next to Gong Zhu and looked at him uneasily.
"We must open the knot in Beiqi's heart, this kid can't be so gloomy. Beiqi is smart and sensible early, but this can't be said that Beiqi is really an adult, and he still has to take care of him like a child. ”
Gong Zhu listened to the words of Chunfuku's mother-in-law in his heart. Why didn't he know it, but this matter had reached a point where it could no longer be delayed, and Northern Qi must also begin to grow up, and he must begin to know how to bear the wind and rain alone.
"Okay, I'll talk to Beiqi about this matter again, so don't worry."
Gong Zhu patted Chunfu's mother-in-law's hand, trying to make an expression that reassured her.
The night gradually deepened, Bei Qi lay on the bed and did not fall asleep, the seventh girl sat on the side to make clothes for Bei Qi to look at him, and then the worry in his heart became a little heavier, and the needle and thread in his hand were more detailed.
Gong Zhu pushed the door in,
"Northern Qi, get up, go out with grandpa to see the scenery."
Bei Qi lay motionless on the bed, and Gong Zhu also looked at Bei Qi motionlessly. After a long time, the Seventh Girl began to hesitate to go over to see if Bei Qi was really asleep, and Bei Qi slowly sat up from the bed. He raised his head and looked at Miyatake with puzzled and resentful eyes.
The seventh girl was taken aback by Beiqi's eyes, this was the first time she had seen such feelings in her son Yan Zòng, not to mention that she was still facing Gong Zhu. And Beiqi's expression was expected by Gong Zhu, although he was still a little sad when Gong Zhu saw it with his own eyes, but he endured it.
"Northern Qi, come out, I will also take you out to see the scenery at night."
Beiqi didn't get out of bed right away, but just looked at Gong Zhu for a while before slowly stepping down, putting on his shoes, and following Gong Zhu out. When he got outside, he gave Beiqi a pony, put the reins in Beiqi's hand, and clenched it hard.
"Northern Qi, remember how to ride a horse, Uncle Huayan taught you before."
Beiqi was silent, and directly got on the horse and looked ahead.
Gong Zhu also got on the horse, gave Hua Face a look, and Hua Face stepped aside. Gong Zhu rushed out with a big 'heh', and Beiqi also followed closely behind. The seventh girl came out and looked at Hua Mian and was a little surprised, so she hurriedly gestured and asked Hua Mian. And the flower face said directly as if she had known what the seventh girl was asking,
"The adults said that they don't have to go with them, they have to talk to Beiqi alone."
Gong Zhu took Beiqi and walked a long way before he came to a stop next to a lake. Gong Zhu looked back at Northern Qi behind him. Perhaps because of such a hearty horseback ride for the first time, Beiqi's face looked obviously better.
"Northern Qi, after the New Year, you will be a year older, although you will only be nine years old if you are one year older, but you must know that I have never treated you as a child."
Beiqi didn't make a sound, but snorted coldly in his heart.
"From the moment you were born, you are destined to be extraordinary, you have your responsibilities, you have your obligations. Before you were born, the world was destined to change because of you, Beiqi, don't feel unfair, this is a person's life. ”
"Who is my father, then, and what is my duty?"
Northern Qi actually wanted to ask this sentence for a long time, but he didn't ask.
Gong Zhu looked at Northern Qi seriously,
"I'm sorry Beiqi, I can't sue you yet."
When Bei Qi heard this, he immediately turned his head away and stopped looking at Gong Zhu.
"But you know, it's all for your own good. Northern Qi, you can hate me, you can hate me, but all the things I do are for you, I treat you as my own grandson, sincerely take care of you, try to protect you, and give you a childhood that a real child should have. Beiqi, maybe you don't understand my mind now, but Beiqi, you have to understand from now on, you are different from others, danger has come slowly to you, you have to keep your spirits up. ”
For a long time, Northern Qi did not speak. He thinks about the memories he has had since he could remember.
Grandpa did treat him very well, although grandpa treated him very harshly since he was a child, especially in learning, he never could be sloppy. He also taught him a lot of principles of being a human being and a lot of perspectives on things. Beiqi actually likes to talk to his grandfather the most, because grandpa knows what he is thinking, knows what he wants to do, if there is a mistake in the grandfather, he will help him sort out his thoughts, if not, grandpa will try to turn his wish into reality.
Yes, in fact, Northern Qi is just angry with himself. I'm angry that I'm not grandpa's grandson.
"What do you mean by danger? What dangers? Are we fleeing for our lives because of this danger? ”
Northern Qi linked all the changes that happened, how could he not think that this qiē and qiē were all because of him.
Gong Zhu shook his head,
"It's not time yet, and I won't go into more detail with you. It's just that you know that the current situation is very dangerous, and it won't be long before you will face more danger and pain. Remember Northern Qi, these are all destined, don't think about running away, you have to face it directly. ”
Bei Qi looked at Gong Zhu's firm eyes, and nodded unconsciously.
