Chapter 4 Spending Time (Additions)

The sun was scorching, and the trees in the valley seemed to have lost their spirits, and there was a scream in the wooden houses.

"It's on fire, it's on fire." Jiang Ling screamed and splashed water from the urn on the side in a panic.

A puff of black smoke came out of the fire pit, sizzling.

Shui Ying poked her head in from outside the door and asked what was wrong.

"The firewood fell out and caught fire." Jiang Ling said with a gray face, pointing to the stove fire and palpitating.

Shui Ying looked at the firewood by the stove and smiled.

"It's strange that you don't chop wood and burn it like this, and don't fall out." She said.

Jiang Ling snorted.

"How do I know?" She said.

Although she has no father or mother since she was a child, because of the loyalty of her family, she has not been reduced to being a rough and inferior girl in the Xie family, not to mention that she later came to Xie Roujia's side, although she has been a third-class girl for many years, but any girl in front of any young lady in the Xie family is not touched by the spring water, let alone chopping wood and cooking.

"You know you're still stupid looking, going chopping wood." Jiang Ling said with a glare.

Shui Ying turned his head to look at the firewood room.

"There's no firewood." She said.

They had been here for five days, and the nerves and novelty of their first arrival had faded away, replaced by confusion and uneasiness.

Although I knew that it was not for them to be blessed by being sent to Yushan, I didn't expect to really live such a life of eating and drinking, and no one asked to take care of it themselves.

"If you don't have firewood, you'll pick it up." Jiang Ling said angrily.

Shui Ying leaned against the door and did not move.

"I'm not here to collect firewood." She said.

Jiang Ling reached out and stroked his forehead, leaving a handprint on his forehead. The face has become more fancy.

"Miss Shui Ying, are you here to escape the summer?" She asked.

"I'm teaching your young lady to swim." Shui Ying said.

"When is it now, my young lady is still swimming in the water?" Jiang Ling shouted, "Are you stupid kid?" ”

Shui Ying is still not in a hurry or annoyed.

"Isn't she swimming?" "Then I'll ask her, and if she doesn't swim, I'll go back." ”

After she finished speaking, she ran into the house, and Jiang Ling stomped her feet angrily and chased her out.

"Don't you block up with Miss, okay?" She said.

Shui Ying had already entered the room and turned around with a sigh.

"Mademoiselle isn't here." She said.

Jiang Ling only felt a bang in his head, and a cold sweat broke out.

Xie Roujia has been staying quietly in the house for the past few days. Or sit and watch the scenery. Or wipe and clean up, calm and unbelievable, suddenly suffered such a blow, Miss fell from the clouds into the quagmire all at once. How could it be that there was nothing at all. JMC's heart is high. I don't dare to close my eyes when I sleep at night.

You won't really be looking for a short time, will you?

Jiang Ling shouted loudly and rushed out, and Shui Ying followed.

But this deep mountain and old forest are so big, if the young lady is bent on death. Where can she find her?

Jiang Ling couldn't help crying, and Shui Ying slapped her behind.

"Miss is over there." She said.

Jiang Ling looked with tears in her eyes, and sure enough, she saw a small figure sitting on the hillside not far away.

"Miss, you're scared me to death." Jiang Ling ran over and knelt beside her with a weak leg.

Xie Roujia turned her head to look at her with some surprise.

"What are you afraid of?" She asked.

"I'm afraid Miss won't be able to open it." Jiang Ling said, "Miss, you have to remember, if you die, it is the greatest sin, you must live, no matter how painful and sad you are, you must live." ”

Xie Roujia looked at her and smiled.

"I don't want to die." "I managed to survive. ”

How hard did you survive?

Jiang Ling frowned and looked at her worriedly, and Xie Roujia withdrew her gaze to look at the valley.

Yes, she doesn't dare to die, what if she dies and she returns to that nightmare, although she is still rejected by her family, at least she is still herself, living in the name of Roujia, so that she will no longer marry casually, and she will no longer be forced to tongue her own children, nor will she be married to the king of Zhenbei as her stepfamily, nor will she be humiliated by that Zhou Chengzhen, nor will she be hanged to death by a white silk again.

And now that my sister is not dead, the disaster of the Xie family's extinction will not happen in ten years in the dream, and I can be regarded as saving the fate of the family, although everyone does not appreciate it.

Xie Roujia held her chin in her hand and looked at the mountains full of greenery.

"Miss, you can think so." Although Jiang Ling was still a little worried, he nodded happily, and before the words fell, he heard the sound of firecrackers in the distance.

It's not a New Year's holiday, and there will be no new mines here, who is lighting firecrackers?

Shui Ying stood on tiptoe.

"It's the ancestral hall of the Xie family over there." She said, pointing out.

Ancestral mansion? What's wrong? Just as they were guessing, the couple who guarded the mountain came from the mountain road and brought them food with a few baskets on their backs.

"What's wrong with the ancestral hall?" Jiang Ling hurriedly asked.

It was the second time the woman had dealt with them, and she seemed more restrained during the day than at night, but when she heard the question, the couple's dark and rough faces could not hide their excitement.

"It's the old Dan lord who is here, the old Dan lord is here." They said in unison.

Old Dan Lord?

Old Madam Xie?

"What is the old lady doing here?" JMC was taken aback.

"Old Lord Dan seems to want to live here." The woman said, and as she spoke, she couldn't help but kneel down and bow to the ancestral hall, "The old Dan lord has come to see the mountain, and the old Dan lord has come to see the mountain." ”

Looking at the mountains?

The Xie family has been moving away from Yushan for more than a hundred years, and although the ancestral hall is here, no one will be willing to leave the comfortable and luxurious Pengshui City to live here, not to mention the prominent Dan Lord, who once asked the high priest to live in the mountains for seven days, has now been shortened to two days, let alone move to the mountains to live.

"No, no, no." Jiang Ling said, grabbing Xie Roujia's arm excitedly, "The old lady must have come to see Miss." ”

After a hundred years of renovation and expansion, the Xie family ancestral hall now has dozens of houses, the front yard ancestral hall, and the back yard mansion. The ancient trees are towering, solemn and solemn, of course, compared to the Xie family's mansion in Pengshuicheng, it seems shabby and cramped.

At this time, there were seven or eight carriages parked inside and outside the Xie family ancestral hall, and the stewards and servants and maids were coming in and out, and the people were very lively.

"Slow down, slow down, this teapot is a unique product, a unique product." Old lady Xie stood at the door, watched the girls, shouted and chased into the house.

The doors and windows of the house were wide open, the fresh smell of the summer mountains filled the room, and the bright beaded curtains were hung. Multicolored vase. Ancient swords and other items were placed one by one, and the originally dull room suddenly became bright and vivid.

Old lady Xie looked displeased, and reached out to fan her nose.

"A damp wave." He said, "It's going to be a wet day in June, but how can you live in people?" ”

Under the corridor of the flower hall, Mrs. Xie sat in a rocking chair with her eyes closed, as if she was asleep. People from the outside world came and went, and they couldn't disturb her in the slightest.

Old lady Xie simply walked out and stood beside her and looked at the courtyard.

"Resurface that side. It's easy to grow moss. What to do if you slip while walking. He said loudly as he pointed to the courtyard.

The stewards were busy, and there was a rush in the courtyard.

"Also, there's no room for living in the house. It must be smoked with a brazier. Old lady Xie said again.

"Old lady, it's already smoked." A servant woman hurriedly replied.

"Is this called smoked?" Old Lady Xie glared, "The paintings I just put on the table are all trendy, and I will smoke and smoke again." ”

Old Madam Xie opened her eyes.

"Don't smoke it yet." She said to the servant, "Prepare the car to send the old lady back." ”

The servants and women sneered, and the old lady Xie also sneered.

"It's not like I can't live." He said, and sat down next to Mrs. Xie, "I'm worried about you, your body is not good, and it is gloomy and damp here." ”

Old Madam Xie snorted, closed her eyes, and ignored him.

Old lady Xie waved his hand, and the servants hurriedly retreated and continued to be busy.

"Call that girl here?" Old Lady Xie took the fan in the little girl's hand and shook it to Old Lady Xie and asked.

"Call her? Who am she? Why should I call her over? Old Madam Xie said with a sneer.

Old lady Xie was stunned and touched her nose.

"You're not here for her, are you?" He said.

"Of course I'm for her." Old Madam Xie said, opened her eyes, "You let them surround the mountain, don't let her escape, and tell the mountain watcher, this Miss Roujia was called Miss, and she didn't really take it as a lady." ”

The girl standing on the side hurriedly responded.

Old Lady Xie nodded.

"Yes, yes, I didn't expect this girl to look innocent, but she is like a poisonous scorpion in her heart." He said, "Our Xie family's child, joy, anger and sorrow are all on her face, she is so different, even I have been coaxed for so long, it's really chilling." ”

Speaking of which, don't forget to add a word.

"It's not like Ayuan at all."

It's like a mother, it's like a father.

Old Madam Xie closed her eyes again and ignored him.

The daylight was getting slanting, the sound of firecrackers was no longer audible, and the three figures sitting on the hillside were stretched out, becoming more and more lonely.

"I'm hungry." Shui Ying stood up and said.

Jiang Ling glared at her angrily.

"When you're hungry, go cook." She said, turning her head to look at Xie Roujia again.

Xie Roujia sat with her knees crossed, her eyes kept looking at the bottom of the mountain, and her posture had not changed since early times.

"Miss." Jiang Ling lowered her head to hide the sadness in her eyes, "Let's go back, the old lady is tired from the bumps just today, and I will come to see you tomorrow." ”

Xie Roujia seemed to be awakened by her words.

"Oh." Her gaze condensed, she retracted her gaze and looked at Jiang Ling, and shook her head, "I'm not waiting for the old lady to look at me." ”

So why sit here for a day?

Jiang Ling sighed in his heart, some things are better not to be broken.

"Miss, let's go back, it's time to eat." She said with a smile on her face.

Xie Roujia nodded and stood up.

"Shui Ying goes to wash the vegetables."

"I won't."

"You're only going to eat, aren't you?"

"Don't make noise, don't make noise, I'll wash I'll wash."

With the sound of the three of them talking, the wooden house became lively at night.

But on the second day, Mrs. Xie still didn't come to see them, and she didn't even have a single person, and Jiang Ling looked at Xie Roujia who was sitting on the hillside again and felt sad.

"Miss, let me go and meet the old lady." She couldn't help but say.

Xie Roujia hummed and turned her head to look at her, her eyes were a little confused, and she didn't seem to hear what she said.

In the past few days, although the young lady has eaten and drunk normally, she should talk and sleep, and she should not cry or make trouble, but the whole person is still getting more and more unenergetic, as if the tree that has been drained of its juice is gradually drying up.

Jiang Ling couldn't help crying.

"Miss, I'll go and ask to see the old lady, I'll go see the old lady." She cried, "If you have any grievances to tell her, the old lady will definitely believe you." ”

Xie Roujia smiled.

"Jiangling, I'm really not waiting to see the old lady." She said.

"And what are you waiting waiting for?" Jiang Ling asked with tears in his eyes.

Xie Roujia shook her head.

"I don't know what I'm going to do, that's why I'm sitting here." She said.

Don't know what you're going to do?

Jiang Ling was stunned.

"Let's go swimming." Shui Ying, who didn't know when he came over, suddenly said, stretched out his hand and pointed in one direction, "I saw it a few days ago, there is a waterfall over there, and there is a waterhole below." ”

Swimming?

Xie Roujia followed her point.

At the beginning, she learned to swim to avoid her sister from drowning, but now that her sister is no longer drowning, her swimming is meaningless.

Xie Roujia shook her head.

"I don't want to swim anymore." She said.

"Don't you want to learn? Don't you like swimming anymore? Shui Ying asked.

Xie Roujia shook her head again.

"Then I'm leaving." Shui Ying said, and sure enough, he turned around and left.

Jiang Ling hurriedly reached out and grabbed her.

"Where are you going?" She asked.

"I'll go home." Shui Ying said, "Your young lady doesn't want to swim anymore, so I should naturally go back." ”

"Are you really fake?" Jiang Ling glared.

"What's fake about this?" Shui Ying also glared.

The two girls pulled and argued, Xie Roujia didn't pay attention to it, turned her head to look at the grass under her feet, and played with the grass a little bored.

"Xie Roujia!"

A young man's voice suddenly came.

Xie Roujia raised her head, Shui Ying and Jiang Ling also stopped arguing and looked over, and saw a young man walking over on the mountain road.

"Young Master!" Shui Ying shouted happily, shook off Jiang Ling and happily greeted him.
