Chapter Thirty-Six: Just Talk
When Xie Xiaoman came here, the clouds were light and the wind was light.
It is really light and breeze. On the ninth day of September, the hot summer in the south of the Yangtze River has completely passed, but it has not yet reached the cold season, so the sky is high and the clouds are light, the water is clear and the sand is white, accompanied by a trace of warmth mixed with the refreshing wind, it is really comfortable to just want to sleep with the sky as the bed.
"It's really nice weather." Xie Xiaoman looked at the thin clouds in the sky stretched by the wind, and sighed with satisfaction.
"Sister Xiaoman......" Xi Changshuo's voice was a little hoarse, obviously he was frightened by his father, at this time it was just a few words, but it was full of surprises and grievances.
Xie Xiaoman turned to look at him, rubbed his little head, and smiled softly: "Don't be afraid, can you leave first, I have something to say to your father." ”
Xi Changshuo looked at her suspiciously, and then at his father, who was not good-looking, after all, he was still infected by Xie Xiaomanyun's light and light bearing, nodded silently, and turned back three times step by step.
His ears were clear for a while, and Xie Xiaoman couldn't help but smile and shook his head when he listened to the bustling hustle and bustle of the place next door to the courtyard next door.
"Xie Niangzi......" Xi Chao's face turned a little dark, and in terms of seniority, he and Xie Xiaoman are distant relatives and peers, and they are her distant cousins with different surnames. In terms of official position, Xie Xiaoman is the woman he wants to marry when he goes to the peak, and theoretically several can be equated with his sister-in-law. But if you start from Xi Changshuo, who is confused and has a mind to marry Xie Xiaoman, Xie Xiaoman has become Xi Chao's daughter-in-law who is impossible to pass through......
As soon as he thought of this, even Xi Chao couldn't hold his face a little, and faked coughing twice to relieve some embarrassment.
People are busy, and there are no people coming and going. Xi Changshuo obediently ran to stand more than ten steps away, just looking here non-stop, with a worried face.
"Xie Niangzi, after all, you and I are different from men and women, so it's better not to say more." Xi Chao saw that Xie Xiaoman was silent for a while, so he simply took the lead in speaking.
"It's okay, I've set up an enchantment, and no one outside can see us." Xie Xiaoman smiled slightly.
This is a lie, there are only so many kinds of talismans and seals that she knows, and there is no enchantment. It's just that there is really no one around, and the voices of the people are all where the partition wall is, and now it is in the ears, as if it is a world away.
Where did Xi Chao know the truth of these things, and he couldn't help but be attracted to Xie Xiaoman's words.
Because of Xi Changshuo's matter, Xi Chao had a grudge against Xie Xiaoman, and at this time he had a dark face, but it was not good to show it directly, so he arched his hand and said: "Although no one in the outside world sees it, the matter of etiquette and law always has to be observed, not to mention that God knows that you know and I know, where can it be called a good thing?" If Xie Niangzi is fine, she will retire first. With that, he turned around and was about to leave.
"Lord Xi, do you want to avoid talking about Ling Lang like this?" Xie Xiaoman said lightly, and Xi Chao stopped.
"How does Xie Niangzi want to talk?" Xi Chao's tone was light, and he already implied anger.
"Ling Lang's thoughts, Lord Xi knows, but I don't know if General Huan Wenhuan knows it or not."
Xi Chao turned around, his face had returned to normal, and he smiled lightly: "Xie Niangzi, is this threatening me?" ”
"How can I threaten you?" Seeing that Xi Chao was indifferent on the surface, but secretly looked like he was preparing for war, Xie Xiaoman instead thought of teasing, hugged his shoulders as if he was in shape, and raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Xie Niangzi is afraid that she thinks too much, the dog is still young, and she has no taboo words. General Huan is an extremely pot-bellied person, how can he be resentful because of a child's words and deeds? Xie Niangzi thought like this, I was afraid that she looked down on General Huan. ”
"Oh? Although it is a child's words, Pegatron is stubborn, and it seems that it is not easy to turn back on the things that he recognizes? Do you know what he just came to me about? He's going to elope with me. ”
Xi Chao's face was slightly pale.
"You say," Xie Xiaoman said playfully, "what would you do if I followed his intentions and took him to a place where no one else could find him?" What about your dear General Huan? ”
Xi Chao's voice was hoarse: "If the rebel really does such an insulting thing, don't admit it!" ”
"Oh." Xie Xiaoman shrugged his shoulders, "If I exchange Changshuo's life for the antidote to the poison I have, can you help me get it out?" ”
Xi Chao glanced at Xie Xiaoman, revealing his murderous intent.
"I heard that Lord Xi only has this son under his knees, if it is an inexplicable violent corpse wilderness, it is a pity." Xie Xiaoman smiled.
"Even if it is really as you want, let you get the antidote and avoid this catastrophe. You can be regarded as having formed a bond with my Xi family and General Huan so far, and even the face of the Xie family has been lost by you! How long do you think, how long will you live! Xi Chao said coldly.
"What will happen in the future is the future, and now if you are poisoned, you will die, and you can't see the sun after that, it's hard to say!" Xie Xiaoman smiled lightly, "Besides, what is the Xie family's face, what does it have to do with me?" ”
Xi Chao was speechless for a while, indeed, if Xie Xiaoman really did this, I am afraid that things would develop like this. When the time comes...... No matter how indifferent he is, how can his son not be saved? Even if it offends General Huan......
Xi Chao glanced at Xi Changshuo from a distance, and at this time, the latter was also looking at this side anxiously, but his anxious eyes fell on Xie Xiaoman. Seeing this, Xi Chao couldn't help but feel sour.
"But it's a pity, why can't I be so ruthless." Xie Xiaoman didn't know when, squatted under the wall a few steps away, and took out a handful of melon seeds from his arms.
Xi Chao was shocked and a little vigilant, not knowing what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd.
"You've been gone for so long, won't the other side of the banquet look for you?" Throwing the melon seed skin to the ground without paying attention to hygiene, Xie Xiaoman raised his chin at Xi Chao.
"Are you ......" Xi Chao was puzzled and asked tentatively, "You, don't take Changshuo away?" ”
He is a man of letters, and although he is not powerless, he is a smart person who understands the difference between ordinary people and cultivators. The other party waved his sleeves, and he was probably already thousands of miles away. Even if he fights for his life, he may not be able to stop what Xie Xiaoman did.
Xie Xiaoman said with a smile: "Although Xiao Zhengtai is very cute, but children, it is better to stay at home honestly, and it is easy to meet the big bad wolf when you go out." ”
Although he couldn't fully understand the meaning of Xie Xiaoman's words, Xi Chao understood the meaning of Xie Xiaoman's abandonment, and couldn't help but look at the girl in front of him suspiciously.
Waving his hand casually, Xie Xiaoman smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, I just said it casually, I thought it was funny, and I just teased you, but who knew that you were serious." I don't mean to kidnap Changshuo, and it's impossible to use any means against a child, so Lord Xi doesn't have to worry. ”
Xi Chao nodded thoughtfully when he heard this: "So...... Xie Niangzi is ready to agree to our General Huan's marriage? ”
"Whew!" Xie Xiaoman glanced at him, "I found that you are a bit boring, why are you so protective of the master?" Your character is a loyal dog? ”
Xi Chao was confused, and only heard Xie Xiaoman continue: "Your bear child, he ran to me to elope with me, and he put on a posture of not eloping. I can't persuade myself, that's why I tricked people into coming to you and asked you to take them away. Got it this time! As for your family Huan Wen, what is it that you can't marry? If he hadn't married a wife, been younger, more handsome, and more sincere to me, and hadn't poisoned me, I might have thought about it. But things got to this point, hehe......"
Xi Chao was speechless for a while, he didn't expect that the person he thought he was an opponent and was ready to rack his brains to fight against him just went around and sent his son back to him intact.
And this person is still a victim of his own calculations. Although poisoning was not Xi Chao's idea, Xi Chao knew the decision of the matter.
Such a person actually helped himself.
Suddenly felt a little blocked in his heart, Xi Chao looked at his son who was scratching his ears and cheeks in the distance, and was speechless for a long time.
"Pegatron is such a good boy, so speaking of which, your family's education is quite successful. But why is it so pedantic? is obviously a little kid, and he can talk to the same person, and he doesn't hit the south wall and doesn't look back. At this point, you, the father, should help him change it. Xie Xiaoman commented on Xi Changshuo, but he didn't know that he was also such a broken character.
Xi Chao wanted to respond, but his breath was blocked by something in his throat, and he couldn't make a sound.
"Hey, that's it, the melon seeds are also finished, I'll go back first." Xie Xiaoman patted the melon seed residue in his hand and stood up against the wall, but his face suddenly turned pale and he spit out a mouthful of blood without warning.
Xi Chao felt a tight heart, and was about to step forward to help, but he thought that the culprit of this scene was his own General Huan. So the whole person froze in place, unable to take a step again.
Xie Xiaoman looked at the bloodstained toe of his shoe, sighed, and said earnestly: "And this, can you talk to Huan Wen, and it will be simple and clear to poison it in the future." Since he died after ten days, he still vomited blood and fainted in the past few days, what is the point! I'm not a jealous talent like Wang Ximeng and Nalan Xingde, and I don't have a sense of beauty ......when I vomit blood."
The nagging grew quieter and quieter, until at last, it was silent.
Xi Chao watched Xie Xiaoman's figure swaying slightly in the autumn wind, and hurriedly rushed up, holding the whole person in his arms before Xie Xiaoman fell to the ground.
Xi Changshuo in the distance was taken aback, and he didn't care about Fang Cai's warning, and Sa Yazi ran over.
"Sister Xiaoman! Sister Xiaoman! What's wrong with you! You don't want to die! Are you hurt somewhere? I brought my medicine! Brought the medicine! I've memorized everything about the last painting boat, so I've been carrying the wound medicine with me! I'll help you with the medicine, so that there will be nothing to do with Uncle Huan! Xi Changshuo panicked and took out the medicine from his sleeve pocket, and just groped for how to apply the medicine, he was stopped by Xi Chao.
"Daddy......" looked at Xi Chao, and Xi Changshuo had tears in his eyes. (To be continued.) )
