Chapter Seventy-Three: Retreat

"Aunt Hui, Aunt Hui, walk slowly, watch the road."

Yu Shu was dragged by Zhao Hui, pushing and shoving out of the crowd, and had to firmly grasp Yu Xiaoxiu, who was a little panicked, with one hand, so as not to get separated, there seemed to be a few people behind him pointing out, talking about what kind of "shit life" and the like, which made Zhao Hui grab her wrist more and more, her steps were a little faster, and she almost left the crowd on a rampage.

Yu Shu is actually a little depressed in his heart, I am afraid that he will not be happy if he is criticized for a "shit life", although the eight characters of the birthday are strictly speaking, it is the short-lived ghost of the predecessor, not hers, but who knows if she will be affected by this "shit life" if she changes her shell.

There were fewer pedestrians on the side of the road, so Zhao Hui pulled her all the way out of the territory of the Sanqing Society, and then stopped on the side of the road, turned her head, revealed a forced smile, squeezed Yu Shu's hand, and comforted incoherently:

"It's okay, that person can't be accurate, how can you be a short-lived, all the great difficulties ahead have passed, Aunt Hui sees you as a blessed child, what is like what he said, it's just, it's just nonsense.

Seeing that her panicked face turned a little pale, Yu Shu didn't have the heart to think about it, nodded, held her hand firmly, and affirmed: "Well, that's it, you see how old that gentleman is, his hair and beard are all white, his eyes must be bad, and it is difficult to say whether he can read the words on the paper clearly or not, he must have shown me the wrong one." ”

Zhao Hui saw that she was not sad on her face, so she felt a little better in her heart, and said regretfully: "Really, I knew that I would go to line up with the Liu family, what is the hurry of me, no, let's go to the line again, this time we will go to the Liu family, maybe the Kong family will come later." ”

Yu Shu hurriedly grabbed her and begged for mercy: "Don't go, Aunt Hui, I finally squeezed out and went there again, I'm going to die!" ”

Yu Shu persuaded again and again, Zhao Huicai gave up the idea of plunging into the crowd again, Yu Xiaoxiu was sullen on the side, and the three of them all had a "shit life" hanging in their hearts, and they all had no intention of playing again.

"Then you two sisters and brothers are waiting here, I'll go back to find your brother Cao, let's not go shopping today, see if he goes back with us?"

"Aunt Hui, you are here, I'll go over to find him," Yu Shu didn't want Zhao Hui to run again, for fear that she would make another mistake absentmindedly, so he gave Yu Xiaoxiu a look, and without waiting for her to agree, he turned around and ran in the direction of the Taoist Temple.

"Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu - alas, this kid ran so fast, I didn't even explain anything" Zhao Hui stomped her feet, turned her head and said to Yu Xiaoxiu:

"Xiao Xiu, if Mr. gave your sister an order just now, can't you talk nonsense to outsiders?"

Yu Xiaoxiu nodded, he understood the reason, and knew that it was really known that his sister was Na Laoshizi's "shit life", which was not a good thing.

Zhao Hui thought about it for a while, and then admonished, "Don't tell you Brother Cao, do you know the Tao?" ”

Yu Xiaoxiu nodded, and didn't ask anything, in his eyes, except for his sister, everyone else was an outsider, and Brother Cao was the same......

Cao Zixin escorted Zhao Hui and them home together, lunch was eaten at Zhao Hui's house, Zhao Hui was cooking in the kitchen, Yu Shu's big tongue was handed, Yu Xiaoxiu and Cao Zixin sat on the table with big eyes and stared at each other.

"Xiao Xiu, when we got separated, did something happen?"

Cao Zixin felt strange, before coming out of Qiyunguan, before they were dispersed by the crowd, these two were laughing, and when they met again, the atmosphere was weird, on the way back, Yu Shu kept talking in his mouth, and kept making Zhao Hui laugh, to put it on the usual, those few jokes, Zhao Hui had long been happy to lean forward and back, but today he didn't even laugh, just hurriedly went home to cook.

Yu Xiaoxiu shook his head slowly, "No" Aunt Hui said, I can't talk to Brother Cao.

Cao Zixin: "Really?

Yu Xiaoxiu looked to the side: "Really." “

Zaizi Xin knew at a glance that the child was lying, and his eyes didn't dare to look at him, and he became more and more worried about what was going on.

"Ah Shu, didn't you say last time that you wanted two thin brushes, I found two yesterday, you can go with me to get them,"

"Okay," Yu Shu nodded and said to Zhao Hui, "Aunt Hui, I'll come back when I go." ”

"Hmm", Zhao Hui didn't tell Yu Shu from beginning to end, in her opinion, Yu Shu herself would definitely not tell others about that "shit life".

Yu Shu followed Cao Zixin to the opposite door and entered the courtyard, but Cao Zixin did not rush into the house, but stood at the door of the house, turned to look at her, and asked:

"What's wrong, I see that Aunt Hui's face is not good, as if she is angry with someone, are you upsetting her?"

Yu Shu said innocently: "It's too late for me to be happy, how can I make her unhappy." ”

"What's going on?"

"It's not a gentleman at the Sanqing Meeting," Yu Shu touched his nose and said with a smile: "Aunt Hui is not happy to say that my life is not good." ”

Cao Zixin knew that most of the gentlemen in the Sanqing meeting had real skills, and it was even more impossible for Zhao Hui to go to ask the indiscriminate ones, so he asked, "That gentleman, what is your name?" ”

On the banner is written Hongchuan Yiguan, Mr. surname Hong, a handful of age, gray beard. “

Cao Zixin's eyelids jumped, and his heart was right, so he asked, "What do you say?" “

Yu Shu looked at his concerned face, his mind moved, he rolled his eyelids and thought about it, and casually shook his head to learn:

"A short life is not a big emptiness, there are many disasters in my life, disasters are often in adversity, and I can't achieve hardships in my life - that gentleman said, I'm a shit life."

Speaking of the worst, Yu Shu also stretched out his hand and pointed to his nose, quietly observing Cao Zixin, blinking his eyes, and waiting for him to change his face.

Cao Zixin was only stunned for a moment, then quickly restrained his astonishment, frowned and thought for a moment, before he said to Yu Shu in a solemn voice:

"Numerology, you can only believe in five or six, in this world, you can really judge life and death, and judge blessings and misfortunes, but there are a few in one hand, I don't like what I say, just in this Yiyang City, there is no yet. If you really believe in it completely, and give up on yourself, you are a fool, Ashu, Brother Cao has known you for so many days, and thinks that you are a smart, motivated, and assertive girl, you shouldn't be arrogant because of these three words, right? ”

Cao Zixinsheng's standard elegant appearance, thick eyebrows, long eyes, straight nose, if you don't say that he is a businessman, anyone looks like a learned literati, or a very talented kind, this kind of look, speaking of reason, is very convincing, if he straightens his face again, does not smile, and is more serious, then in a convincing one, it can also make people have some extra sense of steadfastness.

The little depression in Yu Shu's heart was inexplicably gone, he looked at Cao Zixin with crooked eyebrows, and said interestingly:

"If I had believed it, I would have hid and sulked a long time ago, how could I still stand here and mention that matter,"

Cao Zixin looked at her carefully, and it was indeed fine, so she relieved herself and said softly: "I'll go in and get you a brush, you wait here." ”

"Okay."

Cao Zixin went to the small study in the courtyard to look for it, and after a while, he took out two brushes and gave them to Yu Shu.

Yu Shu thanked her, Cao Zixin sent her out, saw her enter the opposite door, then gently closed the door, touched her hand into her sleeve, took out a small paper bag, opened it, but it was a green paulownia comb, small just enough to be on the hair, if Zhao Hui saw it, he would definitely be able to recognize it, it was the most suitable comb that Yu Shu tried on when he was shopping in Sanqing in the morning.

Fingers plucked on the teeth of the comb, making a series of crisp sounds, Cao Zi laughed bitterly, held the copper comb, walked to the study, found a wooden box under the bookcase, put it lightly, and fastened it......

"What? Are you going back to your hometown to sweep the grave? ”

As soon as Yu Shu went out in the morning, he saw Cao Zixin waiting outside the door, and heard him say that he was going back to his hometown to sweep the tomb.

"Hmm." Cao Zixin stood at the foot of the steps of the doorway, looking at the little girl who was more than a head shorter than him.

Yu Shu asked, "When will you come back?" Why didn't I hear you talk about it yesterday? ”

Cao Zixin said: "It takes two days and half a month, Qingming didn't go back, there were elders dreaming last night, I was uneasy, or." You can help me tell Aunt Hui, I can't say goodbye to her. ”

"It's okay, I'll tell you, you have to be careful on the road."

Cao Zixin nodded, looked at the concern in her eyes, and couldn't help but say a few words to me, "Do you check the doors and windows a few times before going to bed at night, lock the door when you go out, stay outside when it's dark, and hurry home to know the way?" ”

Yu Shu listened to him tell himself like a child, so he smiled and said, "Zhilu Dao, are you going to leave now, or I'll send you?" ”

Cao Zi shook his head hard, "I have to go back to pack my things, I rented a carriage, you don't want to go to the Chamber of Commerce, let's go, don't be late." ”

"Hmm," Yu Shu turned around and closed the door, dropped the lock, turned his head and met his intently gaze, touched his face, thinking that the salt particles from brushing his teeth were on his face, "What's wrong?" ”

Cao Zixin retracted his gaze, "It's okay, let's go." ”

"Oh," Yu Shu jumped down the steps, took a few quick steps forward, turned back, waved his hand at him, and grinned:

"Brother Cao, see you again."

Cao Zixin chuckled, nodded, and saw that she trotted away and disappeared at the mouth of the alley, so he put away his smile, turned around, and entered the yard......

Yu Shu stayed in the Chamber of Commerce at noon to eat with Pei Jing, not dry cakes and tea, but three dishes and one soup.

After half a month, Pei Jing liked Yu Shu more and more day by day, if it weren't for Yu Shu's claim that she had a master before, he really wanted to recognize her as an apprentice, and teach her everything he knew by himself, to see how much she could learn.

Today, Pei Jing asked Yu Shu to turn over some old accounts in the Tai Heng Chamber of Commerce, and asked her to make fake money, Yu Shu finished it in half an afternoon, picked it out with a pen, and showed it to Pei Jing, and after he approved it, he went home early.

Yu Shu still had a handful of silver horns in his hand, and wanted to buy a pair of shoes for Zhao Hui as a return gift for the clothes and schoolbag that day, so he inquired about Pei Jing, found a tailor shop in the small alley near Vientiane Street, picked and chosen, bought a pair of embroidered shoes with orchid bottoms, and went to Changmenpu Street to find Zhao Hui in his bag, planning to go home at night to surprise her like that day.

This afternoon, the people on the street of Changmenpu seem to be extremely crowded, especially the street section of the snack stall, the crowd seems to be flocking in one direction, Yu Shuzheng felt puzzled, and heard the gossip of the people passing by and rushing forward:

"Let's go and see, I heard that someone was killed at the intersection in front of me, and someone died!"
