"This ......" Zhang Xiaoman looked at the warm bun in his hand, but he couldn't even say thank you.

The man with the towel on his shoulder stood not far away and cursed, the woman glared back, the man shrunk his neck, and muttered two more words unwillingly.

"I ......" Zhang Xiaoman wanted to say: I have no money.

The woman patted Zhang Xiaoman's shoulder very generously and said, "I know what you want to say, my family's tone is such a temper, don't care, you can eat these buns, just don't do stupid things, who didn't boil it out." ”

A tear fell on the bun, Zhang Xiaoman bowed and walked away slowly.

When it was about to rain, she found a broken temple to hide from the rain, in addition to her, there were already several beggars giggling to occupy the innermost position, Zhang Xiaoman sat outside and watched the rain in a daze, holding the bun and eating without a bite, the beggars saw the white and chubby bun in Zhang Xiaoman's hand, I don't know who pushed it, a child ran out and snatched the bun in Zhang Xiaoman's hand, she was stunned, hugged her legs in a daze like nothing, put her head on her knees, and listened to the sound of the rain hitting the leaves drop by drop, The sound is ethereal and crisp.

She sat like this, watching the rain fall, watching the rain stop, waiting for the sun to come out, she watched the shadow of the sun slowly move, the light became brighter and darker again, she saw Qi Jimin and an old doctor walking in together, Qi Jimin burst into tears when he saw her, and threw himself on her and hugged her tightly for a long time without relaxing.

Zhang Xiaoman couldn't breathe well, pushed Qi Jimin away, hugged his knees and returned to his original position. Looking at the changes in the tiny things in the ruined temple, you can feel that time is moving slowly.

Qi Jimin touched Zhang Xiaoman's dazzling white hair with a painful heart, and snot and tears flowed out together, "Why are you so stupid, why are you so stupid......"

The old doctor silently walked to Zhang Xiaoman's side to give her a pulse, and only sighed half-loudly, looking at Qi Jimin and shaking his head.

Qi Jimin burst into tears, "Why are you so stupid? People who are that big still can't take care of themselves? Why do you torture yourself so much, do you think that this will change the facts? Do you know what you've become now? Won't you care what the people who care about you are thinking? You're really stupid. ”

"I ......" Zhang Xiaoman looked at the old doctor and said, "My child is still there." ”

The old doctor laughed. Said kindly, "Yes." Your child is still there. ”

Zhang Xiaoman laughed, stood up and said, "Let's go, let's go on the road together." ”

Qi Jimin couldn't hold back his sadness, he hadn't cried since he was a child, even if he was dying. It was found that Si Po was only red-eyed when she died. But the moment I saw Zhang Xiaoman. He couldn't hold back the burst of tears, and the surging emotions seemed to drown him in a moment, and he was really sad. Looking at her, his heart felt like dead.

The old doctor supported Zhang Xiaoman and said slowly: "There is an inn in front, let's go to dinner and then leave, okay?" ”

He looked at Zhang Xiaoman expectantly, hoping that she could understand his intentions.

Zhang Xiaoman smiled and nodded, the old doctor breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but he didn't know what it was like.

Qi Jimin cried, his emaciated face was gloomy all the time, he looked at Zhang Xiaoman from time to time, and then looked into the distance, his expression was unpredictable when he looked into the distance, and when he looked at Zhang Xiaoman, there was only a piece of mourning left.

Zhang Xiaoman left the wooden house, the old doctor was not at ease, and also went down the mountain, but he was still a step late, and when he arrived, he only saw Qi Jimin fainting to the ground, many people surrounded Qi Jimin, everyone at the funeral was waiting for him to wake up, Xi Po's coffin was still parked on the side of the road, the old doctor thought about it, and could only sigh, first rescued Qi Jimin, let him take care of Xi Po's funeral, and the two inquired all the way to find Zhang Xiaoman.

It's not easy to find someone, but it's not difficult to find a person like Zhang Xiaoman who looks like a problem, they just didn't expect her to be so fast, just by walking, they can go so far, if it weren't for a heavy rain blocking her way, they might not have been able to catch up with her.

When I arrived at the inn, the old doctor asked for three rooms, one for each of the three people, the old doctor was not worried about Zhang Xiaoman, and wanted Qi Jimin to live with her, but after thinking about it, it was not good for her to spread many things, and it would not be a big deal if they paid more attention.

Zhang Xiaoman didn't say anything all the way, the old doctor arranged a room for her to take a bath, she obediently took a bath and changed her clothes, the old doctor arranged to eat at the inn, she took a big gulp of food supplements, Qi Jimin watched her gobble up, afraid that she would be choked, and persuaded her to eat slowly, Zhang Xiaoman didn't say anything, as soon as he said slower, she slowed down, he didn't say that she was in a hurry as if she was in a hurry to do something.

After eating, the old doctor asked Qi Jimin and Zhang Xiaoman to rest, Zhang Xiaoman lowered his head and didn't leave, Qi Jimin looked at Zhang Xiaoman and became nervous, the old doctor sighed and touched Zhang Xiaoman's head: "Child, everyone has to rest, your baby is very tired, even if it is for him, you have to take a rest and be obedient." ”

She glanced at the old doctor tangledly, touched her stomach, and obediently went back to the room to sleep.

The next day, the three of them got up very early, had breakfast and went on the road together.

The old doctor arranged a carriage, and Zhang Xiaoman did not dislike the speed of the carriage being too slow, so he climbed up and sat down. The speed of the carriage was really slow compared to the speed at which she didn't want to die, but the old doctor was right, the baby was already very well-behaved, and she should be kind to the baby until now obediently staying in her belly.

Along the way, she heard a lot of news, either the big changes in the court, or the various rumors of the general Yipin, she didn't say a word and just listened, and when she heard the words she didn't like, she just frowned, she shouldn't be angry, she shouldn't be angry, she wanted to see it with her own eyes, and she didn't see that it was all fake here.

Mingquan Village is in the south of the capital, but it is in the north of Zhangjia Village, far away from the place where they started, it took a long time, and when they arrived in Mingquan Village, it was already the tail of autumn, the weather became very cold, Zhang Xiaoman often shivered with cold, and her stomach became bigger, her complexion was much better, but she was silent all the time.

The villagers of Mingquan Village recognized Zhang Xiaoman at a glance, but they saw Zhang Xiaoman coming back with a strange man. The eyes became different, all kinds of eyes fell on him, and it was no longer the time when Qi Ziyun was in his prime, so it was inevitable that there would be some gossip, Zhang Xiaoman expected it, and he didn't take it to heart.

What she was really anxious about was to hurry to the Qi Mansion, take a look at Huzi, take a look at Jiugu, take a look at the familiar and friendly mansion, and appease her lonely heart that had nowhere to put it.

The one in front of her shattered all her illusions. Zhang Xiaoman stood outside the gate of Qi Mansion. I didn't move for a long time.

Qi Jimin was surprised to look at the ruined Qi Mansion, even the gate was open, anyone could enter and exit, you can imagine how depressed it would be inside.

Zhang Xiaoman walked in quietly. Walked straight to Huzi's room. She didn't care about all the silence along the way. Until she saw Huzi's empty room, she cried out and leaned on Qi Jimin's shoulder and couldn't breathe. Qi Jimin patted her on the back while looking at the room to see if there was any news left.

Zhang Xiaoman cried for a while and thought of one thing, she walked to Huzi's bed and stroked Huzi's bed, put one hand on her stomach, as if touching Huzi's head, while touching the child's little arms and legs in her belly, she turned to look at the window, there was a piece of paper crookedly pasted on it, Zhang Xiaoman got closer to look, and her tears fell to the ground one by one.

"Mother, Aunt Nine said to take me to find Daddy, I don't want to go, I want to wait for my mother to come back, but Aunt Nine said that Mother and Daddy are together, and Huzi must follow, Huzi knows that Aunt Nine is deceiving, and Huzi wants to resist, but Aunt Nine is so fierce, she makes people look at Huzi, and Huzi can't run.

The young lady and a big sister left, the big sister beat Huzi, Huzi was very sad, Huzi decided to go to Daddy first, let Daddy come back to find his mother, Mother must wait for Huzi, Huzi will definitely come back.

Huzi secretly wrote a letter to his mother, Aunt Jiu didn't know, Huzi was posted here, my mother will definitely see it when she comes back, you must wait for Huzi to come back, these words are taught to Huzi by her mother, others are not afraid to see it, my mother said that Huzi is not great.

…… Mother, Huzi misses you so much, where are you? ”

At the beginning, Zhang Xiaoman's interest was motivated, when Huzi followed the old gentleman to learn traditional Chinese characters, Zhang Xiaoman taught Huzi simplified Chinese characters, the gap is very large, ordinary people absolutely do not know that this paper is a letter, no wonder this letter has not been torn up, thinking of her extremely smart eldest child, Zhang Xiaoman is relieved and heartache.

"What does that all mean?" Qi Jimin treated Huzi's letter as a password, but he didn't understand it.

Zhang Xiaoman shook his head and said, "Let's go." ”

Qi Jimin was stunned for a moment, glanced at the old doctor, and asked, "You...... Are you really going to get out of here? ”

Zhang Xiaoman's eyes flashed, and he lowered his head, "I will come back one day." ”

Qi Jimin and the old doctor didn't expect Zhang Xiaoman to be so calm, as long as she was fine, they didn't want her to stay in Qi Mansion, so the three of them didn't pause, and they entered Qi Mansion for less than an hour, how to get in and how to get out. Zhang Xiaoman's letter with Huzi close to her can be regarded as the first letter Huzi wrote to her, she will collect it well, and she will wait for Huzi to come back.

This place is very close to the capital, but no one proposed to go to the capital, Qi Jimin thought of a person, who was also someone Zhang Xiaoman knew, so he said: "Go to Qingzhou." ”

Zhang Xiaoman did not object, and the three of them rushed to Qingzhou again.

Up to now, looking at the old doctor who is still following him, he has been working day and night for her and Qi Jimin's bodies along the way, Zhang Xiaoman thought that the old doctor is also a person, it is better not to go back, settle down by their side, and they will also take care of him.

She said what she meant, and the old doctor shook his head, "No, I'll wait for you to give birth safely and I'll leave, this is not my home after all, I still want to go back, I have lived there for at least half of my life, few people disturb, happy and quiet." ”

"I'm sorry, but if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have been bothered." Zhang Xiaoman said: "Actually, you want to be clean, Qingzhou also has a very clean place, there is no need to go back, I treat you as a grandfather, you are a little wronged with me, but the picture is lively, and soon there is a little great-grandson, I will let the child call you grandpa, don't you like it?" ”

The old doctor thought of the scene of family happiness, and a hesitant look appeared on his face.

Qi Jimin made persistent efforts, "Xiaoman is right, I also treat you as a grandfather, you saved the lives of both of us, don't say anything about the previous things, I promise that I will definitely honor you." ”

The old doctor sighed, "I'm old, and I'm going to cause you trouble." ”

"How come, Xi Po is no longer there...... Zhang Xiaoman choked up and said: "If you don't dislike it, just take care of us when our grandfather has come over for so many days, and you can't rest assured of us now, then don't go, we are reluctant to let you go, so we also have one more relative......

People are born lonely and need a lot of love, whether it is a one-sided relationship or meeting again, why don't the people who can stay by your side stay.

"Don't you hate me, you kid? What if I am cruel to you in the future and you drive me away? The old doctor joked and teased Zhang Xiaoman, "I'm not a good-tempered person, don't look at my gentle face these days, think I'm a gentle person." ”

"I know." Zhang Xiaoman blinked, admitting that the old doctor was not a gentle person.

"You're scolding me for having a bad temper, ghost girl." The old doctor was amused by Zhang Xiaoman's straightforward words, and understood that she wanted to make them happy, where he was alone is not to live, and having two grandchildren for nothing is not cheap for him. "I don't live with you, I still build a wooden house on the mountain in Qingzhou, and I am enough for one person."

Hearing that the old doctor agreed, Zhang Xiaoman and Qi Jimin glanced at each other, knelt down and kowtowed three times in a serious manner, and shouted, "Grandpa." ”

The old man's tears came out, and he looked at Zhang Xiaoman and Qi Jimin and applauded again and again, and helped Zhang Xiaoman sit up.

In this way, the relationship between Qi Jimin and Zhang Xiaoman can be regarded as settled, they are brother and sister who have sworn together, and they will not change in this life.

Ren Lin is the magistrate of Qingzhou, but he didn't expect to be the magistrate of the county after so many years. This has a lot to do with his temper, meticulous, fair and honest, no flattery, no nonsense, this kind of person is difficult to climb to a high position, but some people in the court appreciate Ren Lin's character and want him to be promoted, but Ren Lin just doesn't agree, he just likes to be a seven-grade sesame official, he is willing to stay in a small place for the little things of goosebumps and garlic seedlings, Qian Xiaoxiao is very unhappy, and secretly paid for his promotion and was scolded by Ren Lin, and the two have been losing their temper recently.

When Zhang Xiaoman arrived at Renfu, only Qian Xiaoxiao was alone, as soon as she heard that Zhang Xiaoman was coming, she hurriedly went out to greet her, and when she saw that Zhang Xiaoman was really coming, she cried and threw herself on Zhang Xiaoman's body, snot and tears rubbed against Zhang Xiaoman, and Qi Jimin, who was anxious, had to shake her off.

Zhang Xiaoman glanced at Qi Jimin soothingly, protecting his stomach and being careful not to be squeezed by Qian Xiaoxiao, who lacked heart, but he didn't expect Qian Xiaoxiao to sigh first: "You don't look fat, why do you eat so big in your belly, I can't hold you." ”

The old doctor likes Qian Xiaoxiao's character very much, standing aside happily and laughing, Qi Jimin rolled his eyes to the sky, Zhang Xiaoman touched Qian Xiaoxiao's head, and said: "This is not eating fat, there is a baby." ”

"Baby?" Qian Xiaoxiao didn't know Zhang Xiaoman's subconscious meaning, and touched Zhang Xiaoman's belly, "You mean this...... There are small babies! ”

She screamed strangely, and wanted to pounce on Zhang Xiaoman and yell, Qi Jimin quickly put Qian Xiaoxiao away, and said to her: "You don't know that you are dangerous to her like this, please stay away from her." ”

"Wow wow, it's been a long time since you have all your children?" Qian Xiaoxiao circled back and forth around Zhang Xiaoman, and her voice was full of incredulity, "General Qi has calculated that something will happen to him, so it is deliberate, right?" ”

As soon as she heard this name, Zhang Xiaoman's body shook, she smiled and faced Qian Xiaoxiao, and said, "He'll be fine, he will definitely come back." ”

Qian Xiaoxiao knew that she had said the wrong thing, so she stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, lowered her head and apologized: "I'm sorry." ”

Zhang Xiaoman smiled faintly at Qian Xiaoxiao, and touched her head again, "How can I blame you, I blame myself." (To be continued......)
