Chapter 227: Disguise
"You, nothing happened, did you?"
Seeing that Qinglang didn't want to talk to her, Ye Xiaoyu planned to go back to her own room, but when she walked to the door, she suddenly remembered that she had missed the most important thing, and turned to look at Qinglang and asked.
Qinglang was wiping his face with a cotton cloth, and when he heard Ye Xiaoyu's words, the movements in his hands stagnated slightly, and then he returned to his original state.
"Nope."
raised his eyes and glanced at Ye Xiaoyu, who was leaning against the door, and squeezed out two words indifferently.
"It's okay if you don't, I'm afraid that you'll be hurt and then drag me back......"
Although Qinglang came back, the sky was already bright, even if the quality of sleep was good, lying on the bed out of thin air could not fall asleep instantly, and Ye Xiaoyu was worried that Qinglang would leave her alone again, so she didn't go back to the house, went to the kitchen to get some wild vegetables left before, and sat under the tree in the yard to feed the horses.
The surroundings gradually became lively, and the sound of firecrackers kept coming from the distance, Ye Xiaoyu was wondering about today's day, but suddenly remembered that it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month last year, he was busy embroidering handkerchiefs, Lu Qian was in the haze of Ling Yu's marriage, and Lujiazhuang had no festive atmosphere at all; And this year, he is in a foreign land, Lu Yishou is still in prison, and I don't know how those people who stayed in Lujiazhuang plan to spend today.
In fact, it is easy to celebrate the holidays, but it is really difficult to live every day.
No matter how heavy this festival is, no matter how embarrassed you are, as long as you grit your teeth, this day will be over, the so-called festival, to put it bluntly, is an ordinary day. The really hard part is to open your eyes every day. will face a new day, not only to face new difficulties, but also to solve the previous day's leftovers. Day after day, year after year, endlessly, until death comes.
Therefore, what Lu Qian and Jiang Ping are really afraid of facing is not a festival like the Lantern Festival, but a long wait to think about Lu Yishou to go home day after day.
Originally, Ye Xiaoyu didn't want to sleep anymore. Reliable on the trunk. The warmth of the sun on her body made her eyelids droop unconsciously, and she stretched her neck to look at the sunny room, and there was no movement at all. I guess he also lay down and rested. Think of it this way. Ye Xiaoyu adjusted her posture and leaned her head on the trunk of the tree, accompanied by the sound of a horse's exhalation coming from time to time in her ears. After a while, he fell into a deep sleep.
"Gone."
In a drowsy state, Ye Xiaoyu seemed to hear someone shaking her shoulders, the movements were very light and somewhat comfortable. She wanted to see who it was, but her eyelids were too heavy for her to open them.
"Gone......"
The voice rang again, like an annoying alarm clock.
Is there anything you can't talk about later, don't you see she's busy sleeping right now?
The shoulder was shaken again, this time there was some force, as if it had been hit, Ye Xiaoyu opened his eyes instantly.
"Huh?? Who are you??! ”
After opening his eyes, he found that he was still leaning on the trunk of the tree just now, but the person in front of him made Ye Xiaoyu subconsciously shrink his body.
She had never seen this man before.
With a full beard, curly hair, and fairly neat and clean coarse cloth clothes, even if Ye Xiaoyu doesn't identify him as a Jiangyang thief, he is also a nomad who does not do his job.
At this time, the wanderer was leading their horse.
"Hey, what are you doing? That's our horse, in broad daylight, are you going to go into someone else's yard and steal?? ”
Ye Xiaoyu stood up from under the tree with a "pout", pointed at the homeless people with his finger, and began to shout loudly. Sunny should still be in the house, and a sound like this would surely get his attention.
"Let's go, salt trading place."
The nomad's bearded face was a little helpless, and his voice was lazy and familiar.
"Sunny ?????"
As if realizing something, Ye Xiaoyu whispered tentatively.
"Hmm."
The other person nodded.
"Hahaha, how did you do this? It's just old and ugly......"
After knowing that the big man in front of him was Qingqing, Ye Xiaoyu couldn't stop laughing.
"Put it on."
Ignoring Ye Xiaoyu's heartbroken laughter, Qinglang threw something in her hand.
I thought it was a novelty, but when I opened it, it turned out to be a black blindfold. Worn diagonally on one eye, it instantly becomes a "one-eyed dragon".
Although she couldn't see her appearance, after wearing it, Ye Xiaoyu felt that she was no better than Qinglang, so she stopped laughing and obediently got on the horse.
After such a dress-up, the two young offspring who were originally handsome instantly turned into hideous-looking gangsters. Walking on the street, facing the strange and frightened eyes of passers-by, Ye Xiaoyu felt uncomfortable.
It's only afternoon, and it's in the evening to go to the trading place, so can't you wait until the evening to get dressed up on a sunny day? This swagger is really not in line with Ye Xiaoyu's low-key personality, and she will not admit that she is so depressed in her heart because she is afraid of the strange eyes of passers-by.
After wearing a single eye patch, not only did he look weird, but his vision also became very narrow, missing half of his vision, which made Ye Xiaoyu almost fall when he dismounted just now.
"Actually, we can wait until after dark before we go out."
Instead of wandering around the streets, he found an open-air tea stall to sit down. But because of their outfits, Ye Xiaoyu's probability of receiving the eyes of passers-by is not much less than when he walks.
Because it is the Lantern Festival, the city of Rongzhou is more lively than usual, even if it is only evening, but all kinds of lanterns and rice balls on the small vendors have been put out, and the crowd is surging, and it is very lively.
Sitting at the small table of the tea stall on the street, Ye Xiaoyu buried her head under the cup in front of her, and a pair of young couples walked past the stall talking and laughing, looking at their appearance, Ye Xiaoyu felt that she was particularly down, she was like this in her previous life, but now she has changed the world, but she is still like this.
In her previous life, due to work, Ye Xiaoyu spent Valentine's Day in the company working overtime every year, even if it happened to be a weekend in some years, she spent it alone in the apartment because there was no one to accompany her. Since a long time ago, Ye Xiaoyu deliberately avoided going out on Valentine's Day, and the "single dog" went out to watch others show affection, which was simply a rhythm of looking for abuse.
Because she hasn't gone out during the festival for too long, Ye Xiaoyu has forgotten the atmosphere on the festival street, the greasy relationship between the little couples, the sweetness wafting in the air, and the dazzling colorful lanterns and sugar people, which make people want to stay for a while their eyes are blinded.
It's still early, at least it's early enough to go to the trading place that Sunny said. Ye Xiaoyu wanted to go to the surrounding stalls, but they all stood up, and after realizing that she was dressed like this now, she gave up instantly.
The thugs go to the market, either collecting protection money or stealing things. How can there be a small stall that will sell her things with peace of mind, and it would be good not to scare those people away.
Qinglang is not as anxious and emotional as Ye Xiaoyu, he looks comfortable and contented, and he doesn't care about the eyes of passers-by, and drinks the tea in his hand by himself.
Today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
Lu Qian leaned against the door of Beiyuan, her eyes were a little distracted, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
The lanterns hung up during the year have not been replaced, and even the Spring Festival couplets at the door still show a joyful New Year's flavor. Even if Lujiazhuang didn't celebrate the New Year at all this year.
They returned to Quanxiu Village on the tenth day of the new year, and Liu Yu's father and son were very surprised when they saw them, and thought that they would bring them back to Lu Yishou so soon. After Jiang Ping briefly told everyone what happened, Lu Qian saw the loss on Liu Dasheng's face, but in just a moment, he began to prepare food in and out of the house, and the anti-guest plan was to give Lu Qian and them a pick-up.
Now that Jiang Ping has returned, after eating that day, Liu Dasheng went back to Niutou Village. Lujiazhuang is all women's dependents, and it is not only inconvenient for him to stay here as a big man, but also easy to attract gossip. But Liu Yu still stayed here, there must be a young man in the huge Lujiazhuang, although Liu Dasheng sometimes felt that his baby son Liu Yu was sometimes too simple, but it was always good to have someone here. The most important thing is that his marriage with Lu Qian has not yet been agreed. It is best for Liu Yu to stay in the Lu family.
It's been 5 days since they came back, and I don't know if Ye Xiaoyu and Qinglang have arrived in that Rongzhou, the road is far away, even if they write a letter back, Lu Qian will not receive it until February.
"Qianqian, I'm in a daze again, it's windy at the door, hurry up and enter the house."
Liu Yu said in the room.
After such a long time, if there is anything that has changed, it is that Lu Qian no longer speaks coldly to him.
"What are you doing?"
Lu Qian walked back to the house and saw Liu Yu fiddling with a cup on the table, so he asked.
"Oh, this, this is ginseng tea, my family's wild mountain is mixed with some other things, not only nourishing but also delicious."
Liu Yu raised his head and said proudly. The little pear vortex on her face became a little dark because of the smile.
"Wild ginseng? It's wild ginseng again, don't you have anything else in your house except wild ginseng? ”
Lu Qian sat down at the table and said angrily.
However, the smell coming from the cup in front of me was quite fragrant.
"Huh? I...... No...... I think this wild ginseng soaked water is more suitable for drinking now. ”
Seeing Lu Qian's expression, Liu Yu began to hesitate again, although there were other things in his house, he really felt that it was more suitable to drink ginseng tea now.
"You try, it's really good."
Liu Yu stood in front of the table and pointed to the cup in front of Ye Xiaoyu.
Lu Qian stretched out her hand and picked up the cup, with an expression of "if it doesn't taste good, you'll die", glared at Liu Yu, and then brought the cup to his mouth and took a sip carefully.
"How?"
Liu Yu stood in front of him with an expectant expression.
"Anyway, I'm thirsty now, so I'll drink some of it."
Lu Qian showed a look of resignation, smashed his mouth, handed the cup to Liu Yu, and asked him to pour another glass for himself. (To be continued......)
