Chapter 232: Leper
readx; "Ten years ......" Xu Qing's gaze also became vague, "It's been so long......"
The little leper lowered his head and said nothing. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"I remember, there's no one else in your house anymore?" Although it is unbearable, it is still necessary to reveal the truth, like a bloody scar, how can it be reborn without removing the layer of carrion on the surface!
The identity of the little leper as an orphan has long been known to everyone. At this moment, hearing Xu Qing ask himself, he raised his eyes that had been staring at the ground and stared straight at Xu Qing.
"Yes......," he said, in a condensed tone.
Xu Qing's heart understood again.
Xu Qing stood up, walked to the window, pushed open the window, and looked in the direction of the wine arena: "I don't know what happened to her now......
Behind him, there was the sound of the tea cup falling to the ground, Xu Qing did not turn around, however, the little leper "ran away"......
I don't know what happened to her now......
I don't know what happened to her now......
This simple sentence is like a spell lingering in the mind of the little leper.
He stumbled along the way, with a splitting headache, and he didn't know where to go, but Hu Shijiu's voice and smile always appeared in front of him.
Upstairs of the drunkard, behind the window that was pushed open, the old man Xu Qing looked at the little leper who was rushing away, his expression was heavy, and he slowly turned around.
"Isn't that a little leper?" On the way, there were a few regulars of the drunkard building who looked at the little leper who was stumbling and said in surprise.
"Do you see clearly?" One of them, who was closer to the little leper, looked back at his companion in disbelief.
"How can it not be clear? Hey, weren't you the closest you just now? ”
"Yes," the man said in a trance, still in a trance, looking at the back of the little leper in the distance, "I seem to see him crying......"
The little leper did cry, before he came to the drunkard building, he wouldn't cry at all, whether Wu Houde beat him and scolded him, or Wu Liangshan tortured him and bullied him in various ways, the little leper never shed a tear.
However. After coming to the drunkard building, he often cried alone in the dead of night.
Those tears, there are worries about their sister Xiao Lingzi......
Those tears. I was annoyed that I had to reveal the situation of the drunkard building to Xinghualou......
Those tears, more often than not, are shed for the little leper himself, during the day. He was moved by the shopkeeper Xu Qing's meticulous care of him, but at night, he hated himself for being so "eating inside and out".
In order to prevent Wu Houde from asking about more secrets about the Drunkard Building, he gave up the opportunity to go to the wine cellar of the Drunkard Building, and would rather stay in the restaurant and be an errand boy!
Gradually, Wu Houde seemed to see his thoughts, and he no longer asked him about the drunkard building from time to time.
This relieved the little leper. However, as a punishment, the chances for him to meet Xiao Lingzi are getting fewer and fewer.
Until......
Until the grand start of the quadrennial "Wine Fighting Conference", he followed Xu Qing's instructions and went to help Hu Shijiu with Zhao Liu and the people on the other side of the wine cellar.
At first, he thought it was just a drinking competition, and as long as he did his best to do some rough work, he would be able to return to the Drunkard Building as soon as possible. Continue to get by and "mix".
However, on the first day that Hu Shijiu entered Qinglu Garden, the house that originally belonged to the drunkard building was burned down, and he knew it. Wu Houde didn't let him go!
So, after that......
The little leper held his head, slowly squatted down, and went around and around, and he unconsciously walked outside the gate of the drunken man's building. But what face do you have to enter the Drunkard Building again?
Escaped from the embarrassment of Fang Cai himself. The shopkeeper should know all the truth, right?
No, the shopkeeper suddenly found himself today, and he must have known all this......
The little leper is discouraged, but there is an unprecedented relief.
He tiredly leaned under the old pine tree opposite the drunkard's building, and looked up at the brightly lit building, where it was so bright and laughing......
And he can only hide in this shadow, envious, looking at the light that should not belong to him.
The little leper watched, watched, and seemed to see Zhao Liu hurriedly carrying the kettle to make tea for the guests, he was always so stupid!
He seemed to see Jiu'er walking quietly on the second floor, patiently cleaning the room where the guests left......
His gaze seemed to pass through the building, looking at the many guys in the backyard, busy but full of every moment, occasionally passing by and chatting a few words.
That's nice......
The little leper is nostalgic, "looking" at everything that seems to be close at hand......
"Brother Leper!" Who is it again, and it is calling for itself.
He looked at the restaurant in confusion, but saw Hu Shijiu smiling, took out a bib-like thing from his pocket and handed it to himself: "Come, it's gray here, wear it!" ”
Nineteen, I'm sorry......
The little leper closed his eyes in pain, he knew that if he didn't tell the truth for a day, what would be waiting for Hu Shijiu......
He thought about going to King An to confess his sins and surrender to the law, but if he went, what would Xiao Lingzi do, she had been blind since she was a child, if she abandoned her again, Xiao Lingzi would really have no way to live!
"What should I do?" The little leper smashed his fist on the tree, and the old tree made him tremble, and soon, there was a lot of red on the trunk.
Xinghualou is there, godfather......
The little leper subconsciously closed his eyes, he didn't want to recall Wu Houde's appearance at all.
He really hated why he believed Wu Houde's words, thinking that it was just a thrilling "prank", at most, he didn't let the drunkard Lou and "Shen Nineteen" get the ranking, and pressed on the head of Xinghualou.
However, "poisoning and murdering the royal family"! Just this charge, when the little leper first heard it, he was so frightened that he fell to the ground, let alone Xiao Nineteen, who was a girl!
Wu Houde, how could he have such a big courage to put the smelly poison in the wine in front of his little leper, and actually sent it to King An, and it has become colorless and tasteless!
Before that, the one who sprinkled it in the straw and poisoned Xiao Nineteen was also that kind of poison?
Wu Houde, what exactly does he want?
What can you do at this time?
Countless chaotic thoughts flashed in his mind, but the little leper's fist gradually slowed down......
The September wind had begun to cool a little, and the pain in the palm of his hand had restored the little leprosy's sanity a little.
He clutched his fleshy palm, looked at the brightly lit drunkard building, and suddenly had an idea in his heart.
This thought was like a beacon that guided him. The little leper laughed, laughed easily, cheerfully, and he took a step from the darkness, firmly, towards the light! (To be continued.) )
