At noon, Yu Shu leaned under the tree across the street from Sanjue Study, looked at the direction of the gate, and stood up straight as soon as he saw that the master came out first.

Yu Xiaoxiu probably didn't want to stand in the middle of the road, so he went to the side to talk, and after saying a few words, they quarreled, Yu Shu couldn't hear what they were arguing about, but seeing that Xue Wenzhe was a tall man, facing Yu Xiaoxiu, who was shorter than him, and grabbed him by the shoulder, he concluded that the little white face was bullying her brother, frowned, stopped watching, and shouted:

"Minor repair!"

Yu Xiaoxiu heard the shout, turned his head left and right, saw Yu Shu under the tree, was stunned, glared at Xue Wenzhe, slapped his hand away, and hurriedly ran over, his face was a little surprised, and a little cramped: "Sister, why are you here." ”

"I'll take you to Aunt Hui's place for dinner," Yu Shu reached out and pulled his ripped collar, raised his chin, and pointed to Xue Wenzhe, who was walking this way, "What did he quarrel with you just now?" ”

"It's nothing," Yu Xiaoxiu turned his face and saw that Xue Wenzhe was coming this way, and hurriedly dragged Yu Shu's hand, "Sister, let's go quickly, I'm hungry." ”

Yu Shu knew at a glance that he had something to hide from him, and Xue Wenzhe saw that they were about to slip away, so he strode forward and stretched out his hand to block their way.

"Remnant Mouse!"

Yu Shu pressed Yu Xiaoxiu's shoulder and squinted at him, waiting to see what he had to say about his ungrateful little white face. Xue Wenzhe suddenly saw Yu Shu, and only wanted to stop her from talking, but he was not ready to speak, stared at by her disgusted eyes, he almost couldn't help but lose his temper again, squeezed his fists, looked at Yu Shu's boyish appearance, and said in a loud voice: "Why are you dressed like this, and you can't even tell whether you are a man or a woman when you are kicked out of the Ji family?" ”

"What's your business?"

Xue Wenzhe gritted his teeth, "Where have you lived all these days, shouldn't you be so pitiful that you live on the streets?" ”

"What's your business?"

"You!" Xue Wenzhe shook his shoulders angrily by her fluttering words, and said with wide eyes: "Last time I saw you with a man who was not careful, I was afraid that if you didn't study well, you would ruin the style of the Ji family!" ”

If he hadn't stood on the side of the road, Yu Shu would definitely have to "phew" him with a face, this kid didn't have a word to greet when he spoke, and he also ruined the Ji family's style, the Ji family's style had a dime to do with her, and he dared to say that Cao Zixin was not indiscreet, and he didn't pee on himself first, and he took care of his own virtue first.

Yu Shu was still able to calm down, Yu Xiaoxiu didn't agree, angrily stretched out his hand to push Xue Wenzhe away, stretched out his leg to kick him: "Tell you to talk nonsense again!" Tell you to make up my sister again! ”

Xue Wenzhe staggered back two steps, saw Yu Shu's stunned eyes, became annoyed and angry, stretched out his hand, grabbed Yu Xiaoxiu's collar, and was about to fight, when he heard Yu Shu shout:

"Xue Wenzhe!"

His fist stopped, and as soon as he turned his head, he met a pair of black dark eyes, embedded in the originally well-behaved and round face, and the indescribable disobedience made him strange.

"You listen to me, if you dare to trouble me again, chew your tongue like a stinky woman, I will arrest you, strip you naked and put you on the altar as a pig's head, and spread it well on these ten miles and eight streets, so that you can have a long face, do you hear?"

Xue Wenzhe's pupils dilated, recalling the horror of that night, he woke up, lying naked on a table, it was raining, and there were motionless "corpses" on the ground all around, the scene like the Yama Palace became his nightmare every night, he didn't dare to tell anyone, and he didn't dare to tell anyone, for fear that others would laugh at him and look down on him.

He shuddered fiercely, and his face, which was red with anger just now, turned white.

Yu Shu saw his face change, and snorted coldly in her heart, after these days, she somewhat figured out that Xue Wenzhe had picked up his life in vain, but his attitude towards her, the life-saving benefactor, was probably because of the shame of being stripped naked that day, and he became angry with her, an insider, so he always looked for his own bad luck.

But what does this have to do with her, just because he is frightened and humiliated, he has to find a balance in their sister and brother, find pleasure, is there such a cheap good thing, she is not happy in her heart, just such an ungrateful seedling, if he is not taught, sooner or later he will grow crooked.

"If you hear it, don't let go, let my brother go."

Xue Wenzhe paused, and as soon as his hand was released, Yu Xiaoxiu broke free, kicked him on the calf again, pulled Yu Shu back two steps, snorted coldly at Xue Wenzhe, and dragged her to turn around and leave-"You, aren't you afraid?" ”

A hoarse question made Yu Shu stop, tugged Yu Xiaoxiu's arm, turned his head, and saw Xue Wenzhe looking at her with red eyes, the proud and unbeatable eyes on weekdays, now there is only fear.

Yu Shu grinded his teeth and sneered: "Afraid? Afraid of what? Afraid that the bad guys will find you again? ”

Xue Wenzhe lowered his head in embarrassment, as if the words that marked timidity came out, there was nothing difficult to say: "I...... I had nightmares every night, dreaming that I was lying in a pile of dead people, wearing no clothes, and many people were looking around me, including the master in school, my classmates, and you......"

Yu Shu felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, was silent for a while, and asked:

"How old are you?"

"Ten, sixteen."

"I'm fifteen years old this year," Yu Shu cheekily lied about his "actual" age, and pulled Yu Xiaoxiu in front of him, "My brother is only eleven this year, and he was arrested with you that day, the two of us were soberly locked up in a small dark room because we were not drugged, and my brother was locked up with the real dead man for a night, Xiaoxiu, you told him, were you afraid at that time?" ”

Although Yu Xiaoxiu didn't want to deal with Xue Wenzhe, he still reluctantly opened his mouth: "Of course I'm afraid." ”

Yu Shu patted him on the shoulder and asked again, "Then are you still afraid?" ”

Yu Xiaoxiu rolled his eyes: "It's been so long, what are you afraid of." After speaking, he glanced at Xue Wenzhe with disdain, and said secretly: Bai Chang is such a big man, he is a coward.

"Hear me?" Yu Shu looked at Xue Wenzhe who was at a loss on the other side, and said with a smile: "Don't talk about me, my brother is five years younger than you, after that incident, I am not afraid now, you still have nightmares, saying that you have no interest is not wronged at all, I think you don't want to be a boy, just be a little girl, hide at home and don't come out." ”

Xue Wenzhe was angered by Yu Shu again, his face was red and white, and he said angrily: "You are the little girl!" ”

"I was meant to be a little girl." Yu Shu shrugged his shoulders, being young is good, and he can call himself a little girl without shame.

"Y-you-"

"Don't be you, don't want to be ridiculed, bring some interest yourself, don't be like who owes you five hundred taels all day long, and besides, what I said before is not to scare you, just try to trouble our sisters and brothers again."

Yu Shula, Yu Xiaoxiu, and said to Xue Wenzhe, who had blood on his face again: "The sun is high, hurry up and go home for dinner, Miss Xue."

Xue Wenzhe's face flushed, he stretched his neck and stared at Yu Shu's back, losing people does not lose the battle: "Yu Mouse!" Listen, I won't be afraid of you, and I won't be afraid of those bad people anymore, you are not allowed to call me Miss Xue again! ”

Yu Shu didn't look back, raised his hand and shook his head casually, and took Yu Xiaoxiu, who was smiling because of the sentence "Miss Xue", and went home.

Xue Wenzhe stood under the tree, watching them go away, then he leaned on the tree panting, his eyes were empty, and he thought for a while, and after a long time, his eyes lit up again, swept away the previous lifelessness, raised his hand and touched his face, and muttered: "I'm not a little girl, stinky mouse." ”

Yu Shu took Yu Xiaoxiu and ate two bowls of noodle soup at Zhao Hui's stall at noon, so he sent him home to do his homework, and stayed to help Zhao Hui do his hand, wash the dishes, serve the rice, wipe the table and collect money, what to do, occasionally tell a joke to make Zhao Hui happy, relieve boredom and fatigue.

It was so until dusk, when a large number of guests had not come up in the evening, Zhao Hui wiped her hands on the apron, pointed to the wontons on the grate, and told Yu Shu: "Xiaoyu, you look at it, I'll come back when I go." ”

"Okay," Yu Shu didn't ask her where she was, he put down the rag and walked around the back of the hot stove.

Zhao Hui went to have about a meal, so she came back happily with a small burden, and Yu Shu was curious: "What did Aunt Hui take?" ”

Zhao Hui pursed her lips and smiled, "I'll go back and show you in the evening." ”

Yu Shu saw her selling guanzi, and became even more curious: Tell me, I have to wait until the evening. ”

"Go and take the money to buy two fires on the street, and after dinner, you hurry back to read, and spend another afternoon with me." Zhao Hui grabbed a handful of copper plates and stuffed them to Yu Shu, drove her away, and put the burden under the bottom of the cart, and the smoke couldn't smoke it.

Yu Shu ate and was sent away, when it got dark, she shook to the small courtyard of Qingzheng Daoren, saw that there was a lock on the door, and tapped the door twice in confusion, she bent down and found the key in the crack of the threshold, poked open the keyhole, and pushed the door in-

"Master, master?"

I didn't find Qing Zheng in front of the house and behind the house, I only saw a piece of letter paper on the stone table in the yard, which was pressed by a stone, she picked it up and read: "The bad guy is like well, for the teacher to visit friends in Yecheng, ask for a benefit for you, return it in seven days, the daily homework can not be wasted, guess the son for a while stargazing for half a time, if you are lazy, you will be punished when you return, and the teacher will stay." ”

"Anyway, let's go," Yu Shu muttered, pinched the letter and went into the house, found the fire fold and lit the oil lamp, burned the letter, picked up the two bowls of chess pieces on the table, and picked up the futon on the bed and went out.

There is a circle in the courtyard, which was engraved by Qing Zheng half a month ago, without using the strange paint, Yu Shu was an old man at first when he didn't have enough money, cut corners, and took the opportunity to laugh at him.

Qing Zheng didn't explain to her, she didn't ask again, if she was still expecting the utility of guessing the chess pieces at the beginning, then after two months of grabbing in vain, or ten times 9.9 missed, she completely regarded this homework as a chicken rib, and compared with Qing Zheng's age, guessed that it would take ten or eight years of practice to have an effect.
