Chapter 15 Knowingly
Hearing the words of Mrs. Xie in the courtyard, Mrs. Xie in the house suddenly shrank her head and avoided from the window.
"It's going to be noisy again, it's going to be noisy again." He whispered, waving his hand.
Outside, Mrs. Xie's angry voice had already come in.
"Mother!" She said, "What do you mean?" Do you believe her? ”
Regarding who Xie Roushu was beaten, because people were in a hurry to search for Xie Roujia all over the mountain, they didn't ask these girls again after they came back, but Mrs. Xie and the servant woman told Mrs. Xie about the time.
The servant woman did not hide it, and said Xie Roujia's words word for word.
"I didn't hit anyone, but if she dared to frame me, I would naturally dare not let her frame me in vain."
Xie Roujia's meaning by this is naturally not to admit that she hit Xie Roushu and was framed.
Now that Mrs. Xie said this, she clearly believed Xie Roujia's words.
Old Madam Xie snorted.
"What do I mean? That's what you mean. She said, "Don't you just take her for it?" ”
This is to say that she believes Xie Roushu's words.
"I don't just believe in her." Mrs. Xie endured her temper and said, "The sisters present all pointed and said, if one person bends to her, does everyone talk about her?" ”
Old Madam Xie laughed with disdain.
"Okay Mother, you don't have to laugh like that, it's not just because of this now. Mrs. Xie said angrily, "Regardless of whether she beat her before, she really beat her later, what kind of behavior did she do." She...."
Old Madam Xie interrupted her with a cough.
"Alright, I got it." She said, "Didn't you just catch her?" Yushan is so big, you can't find her, she can't run out, and you don't need to punish her anymore, she may fall and be bitten by a snake and faint from hunger in the mountains for two days and a night. ”
That's a real possibility.
After all, it was a mountain, Xie Roujia was just a twelve-year-old girl, and she had been a girl who had been living in the courtyard of the deep house, and she didn't dare to sleep by herself even if she thundered. Not to mention spending the night in the mountains and forests.
Maybe it's really hurt.
Mrs. Xie looked stunned.
"For fear of being chastisated by me. refuses to admit her mistakes, so she ran into the mountains, and if she is really injured, this is also the lesson she deserves. She said through gritted teeth.
Old Madam Xie nodded.
"Yes, yes, yes. She deserves it. Go back. Anyway, you don't care if there is more of her or less of her, there is no need to delay the Mid-Autumn Festival at home because of her. She said, waving her hand. I've left it to me here, I can't find it in two days, I can't find it in three days, I can't find it in three days, I can't find it in four days, whether it's dead or alive, sooner or later. ”
That sounds like a ......
"If you leave, she will dare to come out, and it will be easier for me to catch her." Old Madam Xie continued.
This is also true.
Mrs. Xie pondered for a moment, looked at the mountain in front of her that was gradually shrouded in night, and nodded.
When the light of day was bright again, it was also August 15.
The girls went in and out of the courtyard, hanging lanterns and preparing melon and fruit dishes.
Although there are fewer people, the festive atmosphere is still visible.
"Haven't come back yet?" Old Lady Xie listened to the servant's words, and couldn't help but ask in surprise, "It's the third day, and she's still on the mountain?" ”
"Yes, we are all guarding Miss Roujia's residence, whether it is Miss Roujia or the two girls, none of them have come back." The servant woman said, looking very nervous, "It's been three days and two nights. ”
How did the three girls, or the half-grown girls, live in this big mountain?
Something can't really happen, right?
The servant woman was a little apprehensive.
"This can't be done, we have to add some more people to find it." Old Lady Xie said, and shook her head again, "It's better not to add more people to look for her, maybe she will be more scared, and she will not dare to come out." ”
"Then leave her alone, she wants to hide herself, do you want someone to ask her out?" Mrs. Xie, who had been silent, said angrily, "The day you choose, live by yourself." ”
Since she spoke, Old Lady Xie would definitely not object, and nodded hurriedly.
"Yes, this kid is too reckless, how can he be so deliberately angry." He said.
When she heard this, the servant woman did not dare to speak, but bowed her head and withdrew.
When night fell, the courtyard was full of lights, colorful and shining, the tables under the lamps were full of fresh fruits and delicacies, and the men and women of the servants and girls were standing in the courtyard, kowtowing to Mrs. Xie and Mrs. Xie sitting under the porch to congratulate the Mid-Autumn Festival.
"Eat them all, eat them." Old lady Xie said with a smile, and let the little guy see it.
Four or five servants carried dustpans and scattered money, and the servants swarmed in half-truths and half-truths, and the courtyard was full of laughter.
Mrs. Xie sat in the rocking chair, seemed to be asleep, and seemed to be admiring the moon, outside of this bustle, suddenly she sat up straight and sighed.
"What's that?" She said.
The girls sitting next to them looked up, the lights were shining, and the full moon was in the sky.
"There, on the mountain." Old Madam Xie stretched out her hand and said.
The girls squinted and looked through the lights in the courtyard for a long time, only to find that there was a little light shining on the mountain in the distance.
What is that?
They couldn't help but ask in surprise.
"Put out the lights." Old Madam Xie shouted.
Extinguished?
The lively people looked at each other at a loss, and the two girls hurriedly said it again, and everyone reacted and hurriedly turned out the lights.
"The old lady won't drink too much, will she? What do you do with the lights out? Someone couldn't help but mutter.
Soon the lights inside and outside the courtyard were extinguished, and the whole mansion fell into darkness, and after a while, everyone got used to the moonlight and saw clearly again.
"Look." Old Madam Xie's voice sounded softly.
Where to look?
Everyone raised their heads a little dazedly, and there was a bright light on the mountain in the distance flickering little by little, little by little, at two or three o'clock, more and more, brighter and brighter. It's like a firefly.
Under the moonlight, in the dark mountains, this little spark gradually magnified in everyone's sight, as if it was a star in the sky, and as if it was a pearl in the sea, it was obviously a small light, but it occupied all in everyone's eyes, and it was dazzling and dazzling.
"It's so pretty." Someone muttered.
Why is such a small light even more beautiful than seeing the lights of Pengshui City.
"It's because the mountains are too big and the night is too thick." Someone muttered.
More people asked.
Who lit the lamp? How could so many lights be lit on Yushan Mountain? Is it a mountain watcher?
Old Madam Xie squinted at the lights on the distant mountain.
Is that the girl?
Looks like she's having a good time.
"JMC. JMC. This way, this way. ”
On the top of the mountain, Xie Roujia held a torch and shouted loudly.
Among the torches scattered not far away, sandwiched between the rocks, Jiang Ling raised his head.
"Hey, okay. All right. She said. Set the last stone in place. Running over on his feet, standing side by side with Xie Roujia, he turned to look around.
Scattered torches burned fiercely.
"Miss. These pieces of wood can really be ignited. ”
The master and servant were watching, and a torch was floating in the distance, and when they approached, they saw that the torch was held in the hand of a girl.
"Shui Ying! It's over the holidays, and you finally know it's out. Jiang Ling shouted loudly.
Shui Ying approached slowly.
"Fifteen want to see the lights." She said.
Jiang Ling laughed and continued to look at the torches on the top of the mountain.
"Miss, it's as beautiful now as the lights in the garden I saw last year." She couldn't help but say abruptly.
Last year.
This time last year, she was locked up and didn't enjoy the lights.
This year, she wasn't turned off, but she couldn't see the lights in the house.
Xie Roujia looked at the torch in front of her.
"yes, same." She laughed and said, "It's all good-looking." ”
Xie Roujia raised the torch in her hand as she spoke, turned around and looked at the valley, the gray valley became even whiter under the moonlight, I don't know why, she suddenly wanted to shout, and the thought flashed and she really shouted.
A shrill female voice echoed through the valley.
Jiang Ling and Shui Ying were startled, and then laughed again.
Xie Roujia also laughed, and she shouted out again, one after another, as the mountain wind dispersed in the moonlight.
In the humble wooden huts at the bottom of the valley, the exhausted miners, who had worked all day, had fallen into a deep sleep, when suddenly one of them suddenly opened his eyes and got up.
This action woke up the person next to him, and asked what was wrong with a little sleepiness.
"Listen." The man said, looking up.
Listen?
The sleepy-eyed companion rubbed his eyes and listened.
“…… It's going to rain...... Ants on the ground... Before moving... Adults passing by......"
The female voice echoed as if it was far away, as if it was near, if there was nothing.
The man suddenly came to his senses.
The sound of a trumpet? Why is there someone singing the trumpet now?
The previous companion had already gotten up and walked out of the cabin.
More people were awakened and followed inquiringly.
"Shh The first to come out booed everyone.
The noisy inquiries quieted down.
“… Adults passing by...... Don't step on me."
Standing outside, the singing voice was much clearer, it was really the Yushan horn they sang, and it was a female voice, and everyone's faces were stunned.
How could there be a woman in Yushan in the middle of the night?
"Look at the mountains!" Someone shouted with a finger.
Everyone looked up, and the flickering and dim light of the fire swayed on the top of the mountain, turning the top of the mountain into a glass cup.
"Great Witch, Great Witch Qing has appeared!" I don't know which one took the lead and shouted, knelt down and raised his hands and bowed.
The others subconsciously knelt down and shouted Da Wuqing to bow in a chaotic manner.
In the midst of this chaos, the person standing at the front raised his head and looked at the top of the mountain stupidly.
"Oh Wu Qing...," he muttered.
"Xie Roujia!"
A shout fell from above her head, causing Xie Roujia to open her eyes.
The morning light was faintly bright, and she couldn't help but stretch out her hand to block her eyes, looking through the gap between her fingers, looking at the young man who was leaning over and bowing his head.
The young man was split into sections by her fingers. It looks funny.
Xie Roujia couldn't help but laugh.
"You're still laughing, and you're sleeping here?" Shao Ming cleared his breath and looked around.
The grass is covered with leaves, surrounded by branches, and close to the rocks.
"You've been like this for the past few days?"
Xie Roujia yawned, and turned over, Jiang Ling and Shui Ying had already stood up.
"You slept like this, and you didn't even know that you were taken away by wolves." Shao Mingqing said.
"How do you know I'm not going to know?" Xie Roujia said, lying down and looking at Shao Mingqing and grinning. "You're not a wolf."
Shao Mingqing was stunned and immediately smiled.
"Looks in good spirits." He said. While raising his foot and kicking her, "Get up quickly, go back, the people who searched the mountain are gone." ”
Xie Roujia sighed. Sit up without surprise or joy. Reached out and scratched his head.
"Let's go." She said. Chong Jiangling and Shui Ying beckoned, "Then let's go back." ”
Jiangling and Shuiying responded yes.
"Go back to boiling water and take a shower first, and then cook." Jiang Ling said. Pulling Shui Ying and flying down the mountain.
Xie Roujia followed behind slowly and Shao Mingqing.
"I heard Rouqing say it." Shao Mingqing said, "It's a good fight." ”
Xie Roujia glanced back at him.
"Your cousin said you played well?" She asked.
Shao Ming smiled.
"I said it." He pointed to himself.
"Thanks for the compliment." Xie Roujia said, picking the wild fruit on the side of the road and biting it.
"You really can't do it, so many people haven't caught up with you......" Shao Mingqing said.
Ran fast and didn't catch up......
Xie Roujia thought of something and raised her hand to interrupt him.
"I met a thief." She said, "Steal my fish." ”
Shao Mingqing immediately shook his head when he heard her story.
"Impossible." He said, "It must be the mountain watcher, no one else." ”
"See how the mountain people can steal my fish." Xie Roujia also shook her head, "Why is there no one else?" ”
"Because there is no one else in this Yushan Mountain, the miners over there are not allowed to step into this side of the mountain, so there are only mountain watchers and you here." Shao Mingqing said.
Is it really a mountain watcher?
There are more than a dozen mountain watchers here, maybe they really don't know their own mountain watchers.
Xie Roujia scratched her head, looked in one direction, and walked over with her feet raised.
"What are you going to do again?" Shao Mingqing hurriedly asked.
"You have to take care of it." Xie Roujia said without looking back.
Shao Mingqing let out a sigh and chased after him.
"You say, who beat Xie Roushu?" He asked.
"Didn't your cousin sue you?" Xie Roujia asked rhetorically.
"Of course my cousin sued me." Shao Mingqing said, walking a few steps quickly in front of Xie Roujia, "I'm asking you, did you guess it at the time?" ”
Who else can scare all the sisters into speaking?
Xie Roujia didn't speak, and jumped over a mountain rock in a few steps and crossed Shao Mingqing.
"You know that, right?" Shao Mingqing smiled and followed.
By this time they had reached the waterhole, and they could hear the sound of water.
"What was going on in your mind at the time?"
Shao Mingqing asked with a smile in the back.
Xie Roujia ignored him, turned a rock, and suddenly shouted.
Shao Mingqing was startled, jumped over a few steps and stood beside her.
"Fish thief!" Xie Roujia stretched out her hand and pointed to the waterhole and shouted.
With her shouting, Shao Mingqing also saw that by the waterhole, a young man was turning around, and saw them showing a frightened expression, and the fish basket in his hand fell to the ground.
It was a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old, he was naked, his strong chest and shoulders were exposed, his face was so dark that it was impossible to see his facial features, and his eyes were sparkling darker than his complexion.
This was just a blink of an eye, accompanied by Xie Roujia's shout, his whole person shrank suddenly, and then flew out like a marble on a slingshot, jumping into the mountains and forests three times and two times, and the sound of footsteps was far away.
Shao Mingqing didn't have time to move, and the person in front of him was gone, only the fish basket was still spinning on the ground, reminding that it had been thrown down.
"What is this? Run so fast! Shao Mingqing shouted, raised his feet and walked over while looking around, while picking up water to wash his face, "This is the thief you said about stealing fish." ”
He couldn't hear the answer of the person behind him, so he turned his head with the water in his hand.
Xie Roujia was still standing in place, looking horrified.
"No, a fish thief can scare you like that." Shao Mingqing smiled, and sucked saliva in the palm of his hand to rinse his mouth.
Xie Roujia shook her head.
"He's not a thief who steals fish." She muttered.
Shao Mingqing approached her with his cheeks puffed out.
"Who's that?" He asked vaguely.
Xie Roujia looked at him.
"It's my husband." She said.
Shao Mingqing puffed a mouthful of water and sprayed Xie Roujia's face.
It will be late in the evening (*^__^*) to ...... hee. (To be continued......) R1292
