Chapter 44: Prelude to Beijing
"But Miss...... In case ......"
Hong'er's eyes were full of worry.
"Hong'er, listen to me, I know your worries, if someone finds out that I am not in the house and is pretending to be sick, you will insist that you don't know, you just say that I was still very uncomfortable lying in bed in the morning, and I don't want to see anyone, even you. And you also told you to stay in the house and not let others in, you listened to me, and obediently stayed in the living room, and you don't know why I disappeared. You answer like this, push everything on me, you don't worry about me, I naturally have a way to resolve it. ”
Ye Xiaoyu held Hong'er's shoulders with both hands and said to her seriously.
"But, miss......"
Hong'er was still a little scared, if she did this, then Ye Xiaoyu would not be affected very badly.
"There is nothing that must be done, you have seen what happened tonight, you really don't have to worry about me, I will definitely have a way to solve it, you just need to do the things I gave you. If you're as smart as I am, you don't have to worry......"
Ye Xiaoyu said as she patted her chest gently.
"Okay, miss, I promise you, but you also have to promise me that you must be careful when you go out alone......"
Unable to withstand Ye Xiaoyu's persuasion, Hong'er finally agreed, but after worrying about herself, Hong'er began to worry about Ye Xiaoyu's safety again.
"Don't worry, I have my own measure, there will be no problem, if the handkerchief sells well, I will bring you something delicious in the capital when the time comes."
"Really?"
Children are children after all, and as soon as Hong'er heard that there was something to eat, her eyes immediately lit up.
"Of course it's true, but the most important thing now is that you help me finish embroidering these handkerchiefs."
Ye Xiaoyu looked at the handkerchief on the table and made a wicked smile at Hong'er.
"I'm good at embroidering things, no problem, miss......"
"What did you say? If we don't finish embroidering today, I won't be able to go to the capital tomorrow, I can't go, and you won't have anything to eat......"
Ye Xiaoyu began to tease Hong'er again.
"We worked overnight, and we can definitely finish the embroidery!!"
Hong'er is really a foodie, lured by food, and suddenly full of fighting spirit.
"That's what you said, but you can't go back."
Ye Xiaoyu said with a smile.
The night was already very deep, it was pitch black outside the window, the oil lamp on the table in the room was shining faintly, and the two small figures were still sitting at the table embroidering the patterns on the handkerchiefs in their hands. Although they are very young, when people are forced into a corner by life, their inner potential often transcends their age, and this potential is either sunny and healthy, or dark and evil.
In a room in the East Chamber, Qinglang was leaning against the head of the bed, opening his handsome eyes, not knowing what he was thinking, suddenly a black cat jumped on the bed, ran into Qinglang's arms, reached out and touched the cat's soft hair, and the corners of his mouth raised a beautiful arc.
The next day. Nanyuan Ye Xiaoyu in the house.
"Huh?"
Ye Xiaoyu suddenly woke up from the dream, and when she opened her eyes, she found that she was still lying on the table, the oil lamp on the table had burned out, and only the lonely wick was still on the lamp, and her right hand was now paralyzed and unconscious because it was pressed by her head. Hong'er also lay on the table in a similar posture to herself, sleeping very deeply, and Harazi flowed a table. Fortunately, the handkerchief was placed on the table far away from Hong'er, otherwise, if he was stained with this large pile of saliva, he wouldn't have to go to the capital today.
Looking up at the window, it was still dark outside the window, the winter morning was late, it was estimated that it was already morning, and the roosters outside had begun to crow, listening to the number of times the roosters crowed, Ye Xiaoyu estimated that it was already 5 o'clock in the morning.
I fell asleep on the table like this last night, but fortunately there is a charcoal fire burning in the house all night, otherwise, it would be strange if I lay on my stomach all night like this and not be frozen into a zombie.
It takes at least more than 3 hours to walk to the capital here, and it is now 5 o'clock, and it is too dark to see the road clearly. Based on his own safety considerations, Ye Xiaoyu decided to set off from Quanxiu Village at 6 o'clock.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly went to wash up quickly, changed into a short suit that was easy to move, and tied his hair high by the way, because Ye Xiaoyu was only 10 years old and did not have very obvious female characteristics, she was obviously a boy when she dressed up like this.
After doing these things, Ye Xiaoyu walked to the table and woke Hong'er from her sleep.
"Huh? What's the matter? Miss ......"
The sleeping Hong'er was delirious.
"Hong'er, it's dawn, hurry up......"
Ye Xiaoyu whispered in Hong'er's ear.
"It's still early, I'll sleep a little longer......"
Hong'er was talking nonsense, and her eyes didn't open at all.
"I'm leaving, Hong'er!!"
Seeing that Hong'er couldn't wake up, Ye Xiaoyu's voice suddenly became a little louder.
"Huh? Walk? Who's leaving? Miss, where are you going? ”
Hong'er was frightened by the sudden loud voice, and at the same time heard "I want to go", and the whole person instantly woke up from a deep sleep.
"Hong'er...... Are you awake now? ”
Ye Xiaoyu laughed evilly on the side.
"Well, wake up...... Miss, why did you get up so early today? ”
Hong'er had just woken up and hadn't thought about what had happened last night.
"Have you forgotten something? Do you remember why I woke up early today? ”
Anyway, it's still dark outside, Ye Xiaoyu might as well take advantage of this time to tease Hong'er.
"Huh?"
Hong'er still didn't react, and she looked dazed.
"I'm going to the capital today, I'm going to the capital, I'm going to buy something for you, I'm going to eat."
Ye Xiaoyu said slowly with a few words.
"Oh! Handkerchief? Miss, are we done with handkerchiefs? I remember being sleepy last night and falling asleep on my stomach......"
Hong'er was mentioned by Ye Xiaoyu like this, and suddenly remembered that she was halfway through the embroidery last night, and she fell asleep when she felt sleepy, and she didn't know if she had finished embroidering the handkerchief, so she was suddenly a little worried.
"Don't worry, I didn't sleep when you fell asleep, but I didn't sleep on the table last night until I finished embroidering all the ornaments on the handkerchief."
Ye Xiaoyu had a proud face.
"Miss......"
Hong'er supported her chin with both hands, and looked at Ye Xiaoyu like this, her eyes full of admiration.
"Okay, okay, do you remember what I told you last night?"
Ye Xiaoyu saw that Hong'er was about to start saying moving words again, and hurriedly asked about the matter.
"Well, I remember."
Hong'er looked serious, as if she wanted to be heroic and righteous.
"Then tell me what to do?"
Hong'er is a child after all, Ye Xiaoyu is worried that she won't remember, so for the sake of prudence, it is safer to confirm again.
"I'll go to the school later, tell the teacher that you're sick today and can't go to class, and then stay in the house, don't go anywhere, if someone comes, say that you are infected with a very severe cold, Lang Zhong has come to see it, and said that you can't see people, otherwise it will accelerate the infection."
Hong'er said very bluntly, Ye Xiaoyu found that Hong'er must have memorized Ye Xiaoyu's explanation.
"Thank you for your hard work, Hong'er, I will definitely bring you something delicious when I come back in the evening."
Ye Xiaoyu said, touching Hong'er's head.
"Miss, don't worry, I'll definitely do a good job."
Hong'er suddenly had a heroic determination to do justice.
"Hong'er, when you go to the school to take leave, you just need to say that I am sick today and can't come to class, don't say anything else, if someone proposes to come over and have a look, generally no one will mention it, if someone mentions it, you will say that Lang Zhong has seen it, and he specially explained that he can't visit the patient, so as not to affect others. You must say it, and you can't say it wrong. ”
Asking for leave in the school is the key, there are all smart people there, and Hong'er will find out if she is a little negligent, so Ye Xiaoyu deliberately explained it again. There is no phone in this time and space, otherwise I would make a phone call and send a text message to Qianyi to ask for a leave, so I wouldn't have to be so troublesome, and I wouldn't have to worry about being exposed.
