Chapter 18: Rebirth
Quiet, the whole audience was quiet.
All eyes were focused on the girl who fell to the ground in the field.
What's going on?
Except for those who care about whether their girls can be selected, the people who came to the scene and insisted on waiting until now are just waiting to see Miss Xie's witch dance.
The witch dance of the eldest lady of the Xie family, it is an exciting witch dance, although it is not as pompous as the March 3rd sacrifice now, it will make people shocked and depressed, but despite this, it is definitely rare to see.
I didn't expect it to be really rare to see and shocked.
This Miss Xie actually fell down on the way to dance!
Fell, jumped and jumped and fell yourself, only people who have just learned to dance do that, right?
What's going on?
The silence was actually only for a moment, and it was Mrs. Xie who stood up first.
"Megumi!" She shouted loudly, breaking the stagnation of the scene.
The elders next to her also stood up one after another, overturned the table, and dropped the tea bowl.
"Megumi!"
"Miss!"
The people on the stage all rushed to Xie Rouhui, and the people off the stage also rushed forward to see what was going on, and the noisy shouting scene was chaotic.
Xie Yao, who was standing under the high platform, looked stunned, and his chest, which was originally wheezing because of the dance, also stopped rising and falling, as if he had stopped breathing.
It was too sudden, and her intoxicated expression for Xie Rouhui's dancing had not yet dissipated, and this sudden surprise made her face stiffen.
"How did you fall?" There was a question blurted out by a girl in my ear.
How did it fall? Some of the girls who danced at the right time couldn't keep up with the rhythm, and some of them messed up their dance steps. But even the worst didn't fall.
Fell.
The excellent and incomparable Xie Rouhui actually fell, why?
No one dares to come up with a single idea, an absolutely impossible one.
"It's a leg injury, is Megumi's leg injury a crime?" Xie Yao shouted.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief at this point.
Yes, yes, Xie Rouhui was injured more than two months ago, and her leg was healed, so she must have been injured in the old way.
"If you have a leg injury, call the doctor, call the doctor." The girls all shouted loudly, and the scene was even more chaotic.
…………………………………………………
Fragrant dumplings were served. Shui Ying rubbed her hands happily. Stretched out his hand to pick up two of them, and just as he was about to take a bite from the left and right, he was hit by Jiangling in his hand and took one away.
"I'm not afraid to hold on to eating so much." Jiang Ling said with a glare. Place the gnocchi in a bowl. "Miss hasn't eaten yet."
Shui Ying pouted.
"Bring it out in a moment. It's not good when it's cold, so I might as well eat it while it's hot. She said, taking a bite of the gnocchi in her hand. Looking at Jiang Ling who was walking towards the house.
As soon as Jiang Ling walked to the door, Xie Roujia walked out.
"Miss?" Jiang Ling was startled and hurriedly asked.
Xie Roujia smiled at her.
"Going to eat, right?" She reached out and took the vegetable dumplings from Jiang Ling's hand, took a big bite, and said vaguely while sitting down and looking at the table, "Why is there no meat?" ”
"If you don't eat, she won't make meat." Shui Ying said unhappily, "The meat is all spoiled." ”
Xie Roujia laughed.
"Can't you not give us Shuiying meat." She said, reaching out and touching Shui Ying's head, "Shui Ying is growing tall." ”
Shui Ying ducked back and looked at her like a ghost.
"Don't you have to be tall?" She said.
Shui Ying is ten years old, which is the time to grow tall, and he is now twelve years old, which is also the time to grow up.
Xie Roujia laughed, swallowed the vegetable dumplings in her mouth three times and twice, and took a big bite again.
"Use, use, come, come, eat more." She said, "They are all well fed, and they are all strong." ”
Although I don't know why the young lady locked herself in the house for two whole days, but now watching her walk out by herself, and saying this sentence with a smile, Jiang Ling's nose was inexplicably sour.
"Okay." She said, "Miss is right to think so." ”
Anyway, it would be nice if Miss could figure it out, know how to eat and drink well, and know how to treat herself well.
She sniffed.
"I'm going to add another dish."
"I'm going to eat chicken." Shui Ying immediately shouted, "I saw you hiding one." ”
Jiang Ling snorted and laughed.
Xie Roujia also laughed.
The courtyard that had been silent for two days was lively again, and the woman watching the mountain, who was standing in the distance pulling wild vegetables, breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly took her basket and hurried down the mountain.
"Okay, okay, if you can come out to eat, if you can talk and laugh, it's fine, you don't need to look for a doctor."
Listening to the servant's words, Old Lady Xie smiled.
Old Madam Xie, who was sitting on the side, snorted.
"If you don't have a broken arm or leg, look for a doctor." "You don't have to look for it." ”
Old lady Xie smiled and nodded yes.
"It's just that children can't stand things like this, and they can die or live if they fart big things." He said, "Isn't it just being kicked out of the house, it's a big deal." ”
Kicking out of the house isn't a big deal?
The maid girl in the room stared at Old Lady Xie.
This seems like a big deal.
Old lady Xie coughed.
"In short, there is something in this world that you can't get by, just open it if you want to, if you can't think about it, then you will torture yourself." He hurriedly continued.
What's going on in this world that can't get by?
Old Madam Xie was in a trance for a while.
But some things are like shadows, waking up in nightmares and poking your heart, stinging your eyes coldly during the day, you can't hide from it, you can't forget it, you can't shake it off.
"Standing and talking doesn't hurt your back." She shouted angrily, "Kick you out of the house, you try!" ”
"Look, look, okay, why can't you think about it." Old lady Xie said.
These words made Old Madam Xie even more annoyed.
"." "Stay away from me," she shouted. ”
The servants and girls hurriedly bowed their heads and withdrew. Old lady Xie kicked her shoes and walked out without being in a hurry.
"Hey, it's okay if you can't think about it, but we can't stop eating and drinking." He thought of something again and said, "I'm old, but I can't compare with a child." ”
Mrs. Xie grabbed the tea bowl on the table and smashed it, Mrs. Xie retracted her head and pulled the door, and the tea bowl smashed on the door and shattered and rolled to the ground.
At this time, Xie Roujia had already finished eating and came to the waterhole with Shuiying Jiangling.
There was a bang, and Shui Ying emerged from the water.
"The fish basket is in the water." She said happily, holding up the basket. "And a lot of fish!"
In the sun, there were four or five fish fluttering in the basket. A splash of water.
In other words, he did not come back to steal fish after that.
Xie Roujia looked at the fish basket.
Did he really come to return the fish basket that day?
"Bring it over and bring it over." Jiang Ling beckoned.
"Two is enough." Shui Ying said, and put a few fish in the fish basket into the water.
"Oh, one more! You eat so much! ”
The reproach of Jiangling sounded at the edge of the pool. The sound of Shui Ying's dispute. Corresponding to the sound of rushing water.
Xie Roujia looked at the two girls and laughed. Bright and vivid in daylight.
"JMC." She shouted.
Jiang Ling looked over and smiled at her.
"Miss?" She said, "You said yes or no." Keep at least three fish. ”
"Two days is enough." Shui Ying, who was wearing clothes on the shore, rushed to say without showing weakness.
Xie Roujia smiled.
"JMC." She said again.
Jiang Ling belched again and threw the fish to Shui Ying.
"String it up." "You can only eat fish heads at night," she said. ”
Saying this, he walked towards Xie Roujia.
"Miss, you ......" she said, as soon as she opened her mouth, she was hugged by Xie Roujia, and her words were knocked back.
Xie Roujia hugged her tightly, tears dripping down her shoulders.
"Miss? What's wrong? Jiang Ling was startled and hurriedly broke away.
Xie Roujia shook her head.
"It's okay, I just want to see you hug you." She choked up.
Is this still called okay?
She knew that something must be wrong with the young lady.
Jiangling was worried.
"Miss, don't be sad, you'll be fine." She took a deep breath and said, patting Xie Roujia on the back.
The girl, who was five years younger than her, leaned on her shoulder so that it looked like a child.
is indeed a child, only twelve years old, was rejected by his parents, sisters, and family, and was kicked out of the house, and was imprisoned in this mountain.
Jiang Ling felt that his nose was sour and his eyes were astringent.
Xie Roujia let go of her and stood up straight.
"Jiangling, we all have to live well this time." She said with tears in her eyes.
Jiang Ling also nodded tearfully.
"Yes, Miss, we must be alive and well." She said.
Xie Roujia nodded.
"Then you promise me." She said, "I must find someone to marry this time." ”
Jiang Ling was stunned, she thought of everything, but she didn't expect Xie Roujia to say this.
Get married?
Let her marry?
"Jiangling, you are seventeen years old this year." Xie Roujia said, reaching out to caress Jiang Ling's face.
Silky and green face, although I have begun to worry about myself, but fortunately it is not too long.
This face is not haggard and old because he has stayed up for ten years and has not stayed awake day and night, and has not accompanied himself to trek to the bitter cold land north of the town.
Ten years.
"JMC." She said, "A girl of your age in the family should be ready to get married, I hope you can find someone you like, become your own family, have your own children, I will take good care of myself, and you can live your own life well." ”
Jiang Ling smiled.
"Okay." She nodded without being verbose or hesitant, "I listen to Miss, find someone I like to marry, and don't let Miss worry that I will become an old girl and no one will want me." ”
Yes, don't be an old girl anymore.
Xie Roujia nodded, reaching out to hug her again.
"What are you doing?" Shao Mingqing's voice came from the side.
Xie Roujia turned her head and saw him with a surprised expression.
"You have to take care of it." She said, wiping away her tears and letting go of Jiang Ling, "Let's go." ”
As he spoke, he strode past Shao Mingqing.
"Why? In broad daylight. Shao Mingqing said, looking at Xie Roujia and then at Jiangling.
"She asked Jiangling to find someone to marry." Shui Ying said loudly on the side, picking up the fish skewers in her hand.
Shao Mingqing snorted and laughed, glaring at Jiang Ling.
"Is your young lady okay?" He said.
Jiang Ling wiped his eyes and looked at Xie Roujia who was walking in front.
"I was about to ask you." She asked in a low voice, "Young Master Cousin, you were with my young lady on the mountain that day, what happened to her later?" What's wrong? ”
Shao Mingqing sighed.
"It's fine." "She met her husband," he said. ”
Jiangling almost slipped and fell.
Husband?
She looked at Shao Mingqing like a ghost.
"Young Master! Don't talk nonsense! She shouted.
Her young lady is only twelve years old!
"I'm not talking nonsense." Shao Mingqing said, "It's your young lady talking nonsense." ”
What a thing.
Jiang Ling glared at him, Shao Mingqing no longer paid attention to her and raised her feet.
"Why is it like getting married, husband, what do you think about all day long." He shook his head and said, "Not like that! Outrageous! ”
Xie Roujia had already walked to the mountain road, and suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves and a whistle behind her, she turned her head and saw Shao Mingqing riding on a horse.
"I heard you think your husband hasn't eaten for two days." Shao Mingqing smiled, "Do you still have the strength to go out?" ”
Xie Roujia glared at him.
"Not only do you have the strength to go out, but you also have the strength to beat you." She said, reaching for his reins.
Shao Mingqing crossed her with a clamp on the horse's belly.
"Are you still catching up with me?" He laughed.
This kid, I couldn't outrun her last time, and this time I deliberately rode a horse to provoke, right?
Xie Roujia was angry and funny, looking at the tall horse that Shao Mingqing was riding, standing tall like a monster in front of him.
What about being tall, what about monsters, she is not afraid.
"If you can't catch up, try to find out." She said, raising her foot and chasing after her.
Shao Mingqing let out a sigh and urged the horse to go.
The horse's hooves rattled in the mountains and forests, and a girl galloped behind the galloping horse.
The distance between the horses and the distance grew until they were out of sight, but the girl's footsteps remained the same, over the rugged rocks, through the dead branches of the grass and trees, and it seemed that she would never stop.
……………………………………………
Mrs. Xie's room was full of people, all of them looking uneasy, looking anxiously and worriedly inside.
Xie Rouhui's cry came from the inner room.
"Mother, mother, I didn't dance well." She cried and took Mrs. Xie's hand.
Mrs. Xie stroked her shoulder.
"No, no, you danced well, you danced well." She said.
No, she didn't dance well at all, she saw that they were laughing at her, she must have jumped somewhere, she jumped ridiculously.
How so? How so?
She's obviously worked hard, and she should have danced well.
Xie Rouhui bit her mouth tightly.
Was it because of her leg injury? Was it because of the leg that fell into the lake? Is her leg not getting better? She can't dance? Can't she dance?
"Mother, mother, my leg." She cried, "What's wrong with my leg? ”
Mrs. Xie held her to comfort her, and looked at the doctors with raised eyebrows.
"Hurry up and see, what the hell is wrong with Megumi's leg!" She shouted.
The doctors were sweating and their faces were panicked.
Why did you hurt your leg again?
Where's the injury?
What a way to look at this!
