Chapter 17 Care

After August 15, it took two days to clean up inside and out.

The osmanthus tree in Mrs. Xie's yard was already fragrant, and a few little girls stood under the tree to pick up fallen flowers, and from time to time there was a low laugh.

Mrs. Xie was sitting under the porch reading leisurely, while Xie Wenxing was looking at the courtyard next to her, half-closing her eyes and drawing something.

A servant woman came in a hurry.

"The old lady said that Miss Roujia had found it." She replied.

Mrs. Xie put down the book, and Xie Wenxing also sat up straight.

"What about people?" Mrs. Xie asked.

"The old lady didn't send it back." The servant woman said.

"Go somebody, show me her." Mrs. Xie raised her eyebrows and said.

Xie Wenxing shook his head.

"Mother is there, what do you mean by letting people pass?" He said, "Forget it, she has also been taught a lesson in the mountains these days." ”

"Yes, the people over there said that Miss Roujia has not been out of the house since she came back, and it seems that she has suffered a lot." The servant woman said.

"Did you let the doctor see it?" Xie Wenxing hurriedly asked.

"Look at what, look!" Mrs. Xie shouted, "Don't show her!" ”

Xie Wenxing smiled and didn't speak.

"You go and sue her, and I will stay in that place honestly in the future, but whenever someone from the Xie family comes to the mountain, she must avoid it." Mrs. Xie said angrily.

The servant woman hurriedly answered.

Xie Wenxing waved his hand at the servant.

"She's also been taught a lesson, just do what she is told, don't pay attention to it." He said to Mrs. Xie and changed the subject. "Tomorrow I'm going to choose the witch of the March 3rd sacrifice, and the children are dancing well this time, right?"

The sacrifice on March 3 next year is the most concerned thing for Mrs. Xie.

"They said it was not bad, and there were a lot of people to choose from this time." She said, putting aside the topic of Xie Roujia.

The servant woman bowed her head and withdrew.

On the second day, the atmosphere in the Xie family's mansion became a little tense, especially for those with school-age girls, who could be elected to participate in the sacrifice by witches, and the good life of this life would be considered stable.

I don't know if it's because of nervousness, the school has changed from the lively of the past, and the girls have become a little restrained, especially Xie Rouhui's side. Although standing a lot of girls. But intentionally or unintentionally, they separated a circle, and they didn't want to stick it to Xie Rouhui like before.

"Looks like everyone is nervous." Xie Yao smiled and patted Xie Rouqing's shoulder, "Third sister, don't be nervous. ”

Xie Rouqing nodded.

"I'm not nervous." She said.

"But don't dance too undecently." Xie Yao said in a low voice. "Otherwise, Megumi won't look good on her face."

Xie Rouqing looked at her.

Yes. She doesn't like to dance though. But on this occasion when you have to jump, you will definitely do your best to jump.

She will not be perfunctory because Xie Rouhui decided that she will be selected, nor will she be perfunctory because the danced she has decided is not what she wants.

Dancing is not her favorite though. But she also studied seriously, and since she has learned, she has to take it seriously, which is also worthy of herself.

"I'll do my best to dance." She said, a determined expression on her flat face.

Xie Rouqing's speech was so boring, Xie Yao smiled and looked around.

"The fourth sister didn't come after all." She sighed, and looked at Xie Rouqing again, "No one is going to persuade her this time, she shouldn't quarrel with the third sister like this, it's unreasonable, and she deserves to be beaten." ”

Her voice was not loud or small, and the girls around her just heard it.

Why Xie Roushu was beaten was because she was arguing with Xie Rouqing at the time, and then she was ......

This also shows that Xie Rouqing is valued and cared for by Xie Rouhui, and it is also for her to come out, and the news that Xie Rouqing is a witch who is determined to be elected as a witch has also spread in private, Xie Rouhui is really good to her.

Everyone looked at Xie Rouqing's eyes with fear and envy.

Good? What is good for people?

Xie Rouqing could see the eyes around her, and couldn't help but think of what she said when she met Shao Mingqing in Yushan.

"Cousin, what do you say is good for people?" She asked at the time.

"Probably doing things for the good of others, not for your own good." Shao Mingqing said.

For the good of others, not for your own good?

It may sound like a repetition of the question rather than an answer, but after thinking about it, it makes sense.

It's as if Xie Rouhui took the initiative to let Mrs. Xie decide to dance as a witch, which seemed to be for her good, but Xie Rouhui did not discuss it with herself, nor did she ask her wishes, but made a decision directly and made a decision that Xie Rouhui thought was good.

Although it seems that she doesn't know what to do, the more Xie Rouqing thinks about it, the more she feels that Xie Rouhui is actually doing this more for her own good, because she is willing, and because she is happy.

The drums sounded, and Mrs. Xie personally came to the stage to announce the beginning of the witch selection.

Xie Rouqing followed everyone out in order, a high platform had been set up in front of the hall, surrounded by big drums, compared to the last test, it looked much more formal than the last test, the judges on the stage were not only Mr. Dancing, but also the parents of the Xie clan with status and prestige, and the people around were no longer just girls, regardless of whether their children were running for election or not, many families, young and old, came.

Seeing this scene, the girls became even more nervous, and even those girls who were excellent every day couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

"Even this scene will be tense, so you can see that it is not very good." Xie Yao and Xie Rouhui laughed in a low voice.

The girls next to them couldn't help blushing, and then looked at Xie Rouhui's indifferent expression, and they were even more envious and in awe.

"Who can be as good as Megumi." They murmured.

The eldest lady is blessed with a unique bloodline, and not everyone can have it.

"Don't talk nonsense." Xie Rouhui smiled softly, "I'm nervous too." ”

She said and put her hand in Xie Yao's hand.

"Your palms are sweaty when you touch them."

If it was left in the past, everyone would only feel that Xie Rouhui was friendly when they heard this, and they would immediately say something funny happily. But now the girls who have accompanied Yushan don't know why they suddenly don't dare and don't know what to say, looking at Xie Rouhui's smile, the scene of raising their hands to slap Xie Roushu unconsciously appeared in front of them, so that their squeezed out laughter was a little ugly.

The girls who didn't know what happened that day didn't have a chance to stand next to Xie Rouhui, they didn't hear what Xie Rouhui said, and when they saw Xie Rouhui laughing, they habitually laughed along, but they found that the expressions on the faces of the people around Xie Rouhui were very strange, saying that they were laughing but reluctantly. Could it be that what Xie Rouhui said is not suitable for laughing?

So with Xie Rouhui's words. There was an eerie silence around her, and the scene descended into embarrassment.

Xie Yao felt that the hand in her hand became stiff, and her palms couldn't help but sweat.

"No, it's hot. I'm sweating, too. She said.

Follow daily habits. That's what she should have said. But this time her words fell, and Xie Rouhui held her hand.

"So you're saying I'm not nervous anymore?" She asked. Although there was still a smile in his voice, there was no half of a smile in his eyes, "I said, I'm nervous." ”

She repeated in an accentuated tone.

Xie Yao only felt a numbness in his spine, and his body stiffened.

Wrong?

"Yes, yes, Megumi is so nervous, her hands are shaking." She said immediately, perhaps because she was too nervous, and her voice was a little stumbling.

It was indeed nervous, and the girls around them noticed that the conversation should sound like a casual joke, but at this moment it seemed more like saber rattling.

Let's just say that something is wrong!

There was dead silence all around.

The strangeness here attracted more attention, and at this moment, the drum sounded, the audition began, and everyone's eyes were busy looking at the field, and then they suddenly felt that this audition performance was not so terrible.

Xie Rouhui let go of Xie Yao's hand and also looked at the field, Xie Yao stood beside her and didn't dare to say a word.

"That's right." Xie Rouhui straightened her figure, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, "I'm afraid that I'm right, I'm not a child anymore, and I can't be a big and small guy like before." ”

Xie Yao nodded hurriedly, and shook his head hurriedly.

Should I say yes or no?

She suddenly didn't know how to speak.

"Megumi is so good that everyone can't help but want to be close to you." She said, "However, it's only March 3rd, and you are a Dannu, so naturally you can't be the same as before." ”

Xie Rouhui turned her head to look at her.

It should be right to say this, yes and no, it's all said.

Xie Yao looked at Xie Rouhui and squeezed out a smile.

"It's really different from before." Xie Rouhui looked at her and whispered, "You're really getting stupider and stupider." ”

………………………………………………

The drums on the high platform came to an end, and a girl got off the stage with a sad face, but she didn't follow the drums and danced by herself.

Seeing the respectable parents on the high platform shaking their heads, the faces of the other girls showed sympathy but also contained subtle schadenfreude.

"The drums beat faster than we usually do." The girls waiting on stage exchanged information about what they had watched.

That's the advantage of being lower in the order.

However, Xie Rouqing didn't have a chance to study these anymore, and it was time for her to play next.

Hearing the gentleman shout the word Xie Rouqing, Xie Rouqing took a deep breath, her eyes did not fall on the high platform, did not fall on the judging elders, nor did she look at the dense crowd around her, but looked at the drums around the high platform.

Dancing as if she were playing the drums, she stepped onto the stage.

Shaw Brothers, who sat in the audience, was a little nervous, especially when he heard the low laughter around him.

She knew it was laughing at her daughter's figure.

"Actually, it's all said, why bother to go on stage." Shaw couldn't help but mutter.

"Mother, don't worry." The son next to her smiled and comforted her, "The form of the walk is still to be walked." ”

"If you don't dance well, you still have to be laughed at, it's all laughed at, it's better to laugh just once." Shaw complained.

"Mother, sister may be able to dance well." The son laughed.

Shaw glanced at him.

"Don't kid yourself, when have you ever seen a low barrel more attractive than a thin flagpole?" She said.

The sons chuckled.

"Mother, you said that about your sister." They all said.

"I'm self-aware." Shaw snorted.

As he spoke, the drums sounded in the field, and Xie Rouqing stretched out his arms. Dancing and moving, everyone stopped talking and looked over.

In all fairness, girls of this size are indeed not as pleasing to the eye as the previous ones, and some of the movements should be very beautiful, but Xie Rouqing is a little funny when she makes it, and the low laughter around her keeps ringing out.

Shaw lowered his head in disbelief.

Xie Rouqing couldn't hear the laughter, from the moment she took the stage, her eyes were only on herself and the big drum next to her, she waved her arms, as if holding the drumsticks, and beat the drum with the jump.

The drumming in my ears continued. The drumbeat in my heart continues. The witch dance of the Xie family is like the sound of drums, simple and rough, which makes people wantonly and vividly sway their emotions, and rejoice in the sorrow and joy of heaven and earth, ghosts and gods, and life.

Shaw's ears gradually lost hearing the laughter. Only the drums beat constantly. She was upset when she knocked.

It's not over yet.

"Mother. You see. The son patted her on the arm.

What is there to see, out of sight and out of mind, Shaw Brothers ignored it.

"It turns out that my sister can dance so well." The son's voice continued.

Good?

Shaw raised his head in amazement. I saw the girls in the field dancing sharply, and the black skirts bloomed like flowers.

Shaw Brothers has not been exposed to dance since she was a child like the girls of the Xie family, and she rarely watches dance, but at this moment, it was as if someone punched her in the heart, and her breathing stopped.

It's not feminine, but fierce, every dance step Xie Rouqing takes is like a boulder hitting the ground, which makes people's hearts shake together with the sound of drums, and people can't help but want to shout along.

Shaw couldn't help but clench his hands in front of him, and his son's murmur was in his ear.

"Mother, I know when a low barrel is more attractive than a thin flagpole."

As soon as the song ended, Xie Rouqing walked down from the high platform, and the people around her looked at her with no longer as much as a smile.

"Rouqing, you dance so well."

"Rouqing, you can definitely be chosen."

The girls who came around said one after another, some were jealous and some were dissatisfied, but more were excited.

Xie Rouqing can dance so well, then they must be able to too.

"Rouqing, how did you do that?" Someone couldn't help but ask.

I didn't think she danced so well before.

"Just beat your heart." Xie Rouqing said.

Intentions? Who doesn't care.

These words made the girls puzzled and curious, and they pulled Xie Rouqing to ask for details.

Looking at Xie Rouqing, who was surrounded by girls here, Xie Yao's face was a little ugly.

I didn't expect Xie Rouqing to dance so well, and if she was finally selected, it would be credible to say that she didn't ask for favors.

Isn't Xie Rouhui a good person for nothing, and besides, if she pleaded to let Xie Roushu be selected, maybe she would be laughed at for doing more.

She didn't dare to look back at Xie Rouhui's expression.

On the high platform, Mrs. Xie was very happy, and turned her head to ask the others.

"How's Rouqing?" She asked.

"This kid isn't fit to dance." An older man shook his head and said.

Mrs. Xie's face sank slightly.

Although she is absolutely able to call the shots at home, she still hopes that she will be recognized by everyone, not only because of the coercion of Dan's identity.

"But she danced hard." The old man continued, a smile on his lips, "Did you notice that it was not her dancing with the drums, but the drums following her?" ”

The others nodded.

"Yes, it looks a little clumsy, but when you look at it seriously, you find it very exciting."

"It's very imposing."

Everyone said one after another, Mrs. Xie stopped talking, and her face was full of smiles.

"Next." She said.

The girls were called to the stage one by one, some danced well and some danced badly, and gradually they all finished dancing, leaving only Xie Rouhui.

Xie Rouhui doesn't have to participate in such a selection, she doesn't need these people to evaluate and choose her, because God has already chosen her.

Mrs. Xie watched Mr. Zhuwu close the roster.

"Now let Megumi jump." She said.

"yes, it's time to watch Megumi dance." The old men next to him also smiled, with a little relaxation, "Don't be afraid that she will affect others if she jumps." ”

Everyone on the stage laughed, and everyone in the audience also had expectations.

It's been a year since I learned to dance, this is the first time the eldest lady dances in front of people, and the last time I had a chance, but unfortunately the eldest lady hurt her foot.

"Xie Rouhui."

In the anticipation of everyone, Mr. Confucianism called out the name.

The girls around her got out of the way and looked at her with excitement and awe in their eyes.

"Megumi." Xie Yao said, "It's your turn." ”

yes, it's her turn.

Xie Rouhui smiled slightly, raised her feet and walked, it was already noon at this time, and the girl who was wearing a black dress in the mid-autumn sun was very beautiful, and the girl who walked on the stage step by step was dazzling.

"Sure enough, the eldest lady is extraordinary." The people in the audience sighed.

Xie Rouhui also saw the sight of everyone in the audience, she couldn't help straightening her back, in fact, she was not nervous at all, and even a little urgent, thinking of her hard practice this year, thinking of the dazzling dance in the dark night bronze mirror, it was time for everyone to see it, let them all see, compared to that person, who danced is really good.

Thinking of that person, Xie Rouhui's footsteps couldn't help but pause, and it seemed that she was back in the spring, standing under the stage and watching that person shine on the stage.

No, it's not that she's glamorous, it's just because she didn't play.

Xie Rouhui took a deep breath and stood still in the field, and without waiting for everyone to be quiet, she waved her hand, and her black wide sleeves hung down to reveal her slender and white arms, which immediately condensed the eyes of the audience in the daylight.

Xie Rouhui swirled out, and the drum beat only started at this time, following her dance like the eyes of the audience.

Xie Rouhui danced to her heart's content, feeling the condensation of her hot gaze, she saw her mother nodding and seeing the elders on the stage.

See, see, see.

Her dancing became more and more intense, and everything in front of her eyes turned into afterimages, but she could clearly see that the eyes of the people in the audience widened, they were amazed, obsessed, and laughing......

Laugh?

Why would anyone laugh?

What are they laughing at?

No one was laughing when the man was dancing!

Are they laughing at themselves? Could it be that something went wrong? Is it ridiculous to dance yourself?

Xie Rouhui couldn't help but turn her head, wanting to see the laughing people clearly, her footsteps were spinning, and her skirt was flying, like flowing water, but a boulder suddenly appeared in the rushing river, and the forced water was violently stirring.

The waves splashed, and then scattered to the ground, Xie Rouhui screamed and fell to the ground.

It was as if someone had suddenly choked their necks, and everyone's eyes suddenly froze, looking at the field in disbelief.

What....what's going on?
