Chapter 15: Suspicious
Wu's tone was impatient.
The expression on his face is a bit complicated, with both expectation and gloom.
Seven years ago, wasn't it the year when Qiduo lost his voice?
This is what Qiduo thought of in an instant.
But for what Wu said, Qiduo was really confused.
"Sanniang, what are you talking about?" She asked, frowning.
Qiduo didn't know, but Xu immediately remembered what it was, and his face sank.
"Sanniang, Duo was still young at that time, and after all these years, where would she remember this.
Besides, Duo's body is not yet well, so you can go back and ask again. Xu said.
But Qiduo was aroused by curiosity.
What made Wu lower his body and run to thank him?
And she also wanted to know why the seven flowers lost their voices back then.
"Mother, I have nothing to do, since Sanniang came on purpose, you can let her ask." Qiduo affectionately took Xu's arm and said softly.
Looking at the seven bright eyes, Xu couldn't bear to refute her face.
"Hmm." Xu shook his head lightly and said to Wu, "Sanniang, if Qiduo doesn't remember, you don't have to force each other again, otherwise, don't blame me for being angry then." ”
Wu nodded hurriedly, "Auntie, don't worry, it won't be this time." Alas, it wasn't too sad back then. ”
Xu's face also darkened.
Wu wiped the corner of his eyes and looked at Qiduo and asked, "Duo, seven years ago, you went out with Gorou, why did he fall off the cliff?" Did you meet someone at the time, or did you encounter a beast? ”
Fifth brother? Falling off a cliff?
These words hit the seven dusty memories again and again.
The fifth brother mentioned by the Wu family is the Tan family Wulang, the youngest son of the Wu family.
If it hadn't been for her mention, Qiduo would have really forgotten that Tan Wulang had died for a while.
Her mood had changed from initial curiosity to solemnity.
According to Wu's words, Gorou and Qiduo went out together, but what happened made Gorou gone, and Qiduo was dumb.
It's just a pity that she was only four years old at the time, and now she can't remember what happened back then.
Facing Wu's expectant eyes, Qiduo shook his head gloomily, "Sanniang, I thought about it carefully, and I can't remember anything." ”
"Why can't you remember, Qiduo, think about it again?" Wu said with great disappointment.
Xu immediately said, "Sanniang, think about it yourself, what can a four-year-old child remember." Qiduo wouldn't lie, if she remembered, she would naturally say it. ”
In fact, she also wanted to know what terrible things happened to Lu Dao back then.
That day was the day when Qiduo's second aunt Tan Juhua got married, and the family was busy, and no one noticed that Gorou took Qiduo to the back mountain.
It wasn't until it was almost dark that the family realized that they were both gone.
Old Man Tan went to find the chief security officer and mobilized the whole village to look for it together.
Later, he found a bloodied Gorou under a cliff in the north of the back mountain, who was out of breath at that time, and still held two blood-stained red Yingshan red in his small hands.
Qiduo was lying unconscious at the foot of the southern side of the back mountain, and there were some injuries to the back of his head.
When she woke up, she wouldn't speak.
Lang Zhong said that Qiduo must have been affected by a shock or a trauma to the back of the head, so he lost his voice.
Back then, the Wu family came many times to ask what happened to Qiduo.
The young Qiduo had just lost his voice at that time, and in the face of Wu's tight pressing, he was seriously ill and lay in bed for more than half a month.
After the illness recovered, the person also became stupid and stupid, and he would tremble when he saw Wu's body.
It took almost two years before Qiduo slowly became normal.
Xu Shi thought about Qiduo's frightened eyes when he looked at Wu's eyes, and his heart ached.
Therefore, Xu disliked Wu very much in his heart.
Wu brought up the matter again, and Xu was wary of repeating the scene of the past, so he stopped her from speaking.
Wu's expression fell, he sighed, and said after a while, "Yes, seven years have passed, let alone Qiduo, even if it is me, some things have been forgotten." ”
At this moment, she seemed to be a few years older.
The voice was a little hoarse.
Qiduo comforted softly, "Sanniang, don't worry, if I think of something, I will tell you at any time." ”
Wu said lightly, "Oh, good boy, I'm leaving." ”
She got up and walked towards the door, and when she reached out to push the door, she suddenly stood up again, turned around and said, "Sister-in-law, you have to be more careful, you can't send the seven flowers away like this, beware of someone doing it behind your back." ”
Xu's eyes flickered, he took two steps forward, pulled Wu's hand tightly, and asked in a low voice, "Sanniang, do you know what to say?" ”
Wu shook his head, "I don't know anything, it's just that Duo helped Xiao Lizi today, and I don't want to see anything happen." Sister-in-law, I'm leaving. ”
Then she hurriedly broke away from Xu's hand and left the backyard quickly, afraid that Xu would ask again.
Seven black eyes narrowed.
Wu's reminder was not surprising to be grateful, and he had already seen that this matter was not simple.
"Mother, Sanniang is too, half of the words." Liuju complained in a low voice.
Xu lowered his head and groaned, thinking about the meaning of Wu's words.
In fact, you don't have to think about it, you just know who to watch out for, these people are the ones in the family.
It's just that she really wants to get a very positive answer, not such a guess.
"Mother, can you tell me how I lost my voice?" Qiduo pulled Xu to sit down and asked.
Xu did not hide it, and told the events of the year.
"Mother, did I walk with Gorou back then, or were we taken away? And Gorou fell from the mountain inexplicably, and I was injured again and lost my voice, didn't I report to the official and let people investigate? Qiduo asked, and the doubts in his heart were even stronger
Xu touched Qiduo's hair and said softly, "Back then, your father found the chief of security, and the chief of security also checked around.
You and Gorou took advantage of our busy work to quietly go out, and the two of you should have been accidentally injured, not caused by others, so that's it. ”
In fact, she still hasn't said a word, there were people who suspected that Qiduo and Gorou had a conflict, and Qiduo accidentally pushed Gorou down.
This is also an important reason why the Wu family forced Qiduo every day back then, she just believed that words, and even made a fuss about going to the yamen.
Tan Dejin and Xu argued with reason.
Gorou is seven years old, but he is worthy of the size of a nine-year-old child, and he is sturdy, not to mention how many years younger than him, Qiduo is very thin and weak, where is the strength to push Goro.
At that time, Tan Deyin and his wife also tried their best to defend Qiduo, saying that the rumors outside were bastards, and it must have been Gorou's mistake to knock Qiduo unconscious, and Gorou was afraid that when he wanted to escape, he fell off the cliff.
It's very possible.
So Tan Dejin and his wife turned to the Wu family.
The family was in a lot of trouble, and they all said that they were going to the yamen.
The ugliness of the family should not be publicized, if you go to the yamen, how can the face of the Tan family exist?
Old Man Tan thought about this truth and spoke, and the matter was revealed, and no one was allowed to mention it again, so he suppressed the matter.
Qiduo's eyebrows twisted, and when he wanted to ask something, the door was pushed open again, and Tan Dejin returned with Rokuro.
The thin Liulang walked to Qiduo's side, handed her a milky white sugar cake, and said in a childish voice, "Third sister, eat sugar, the fourth uncle gave it." ”
"Liulang is good, the third sister doesn't eat, you can keep it and eat it slowly." Nanaduo rubbed Rokuro's sparse yellow hair.
"No, the third sister must eat." Rokuro shoehorned it into the seven.
Tan Dejin asked Xu, "What is Sanniang doing?" ”
"Duo blocked it for Ba Li, and she came to thank her." Xu Shi responded lightly and did not mention anything else.
The past is not pleasant, so why bother.
"Oh, that's rare." Tan Dejin bowed his head slightly.
The previous topic had to be put aside, and the family rested after washing.
But what happened seven years ago was full of doubts in Qiduo's heart, but he didn't know who to ask.
Alas, what really happened back then?
Qiduo slept with questions.
At the beginning of the second day, the Xu family got up first, and then called the three sisters of Qiduo to get up.
Today, it is Xu's turn to cook, and they have to help with Qiduo.
The so-called cooking is not only about cooking three meals a day, but also including all chores such as feeding the chickens, feeding the pigs, and picking vegetables.
The clothes were washed by themselves in each room, and the clothes of Old Man Tan and Zhao's were washed by several daughters-in-law in turn.
Qiduo rubbed her eyes and sat up from the warm quilt very reluctantly.
It was a little early for her.
"Mother, you let Duo sleep for a while, her body is not well yet, we will do the work." Erxia slowly proposed while slowly dressing up.
Liuju quickly put on her clothes, pressed Qiduo into the quilt, covered her with the quilt, and answered with a smile, "Mother, the eldest sister is right, anyway, there is not much work, we can do it." ”
Seeing that their sisters were harmonious, Xu smiled very happily, "Well, then you two will work harder, Duo, sleep, and nourish your spirits." ”
Erxia and Liuju's words of concern are like a gurgling warm current, injected into Qiduo's heart, and the whole body is warm.
Qiduo smiled warmly and said, "Mother, eldest sister, second sister, I'm not so delicate, and now I'm very good." I have to get up and boil medicine for my grandmother, I wonder if she's better? ”
Zhao's illness is what she is most concerned about at the moment.
Qiduo asked casually, but Xu Shi thought about it seriously, "I got up early in the morning, and I felt that something was wrong. ”
Hearing Xu say this, Erxia and Liuju also nodded at the same time, "Yes, since she was sick, she couldn't sleep at night, and she didn't let us sleep, but it was quiet last night." ”
Qiduo immediately knew from the memory of the original owner that the Zhao family used to stay awake all night.
She couldn't sleep, and the others didn't want to sleep peacefully, so they would shout and scream, calling their daughters-in-law and granddaughters to serve her.
When the people pass, she will pick on the thorns of cats and dogs.
It's annoying to everyone.
Qiduo was happy in his heart, is this a sign of improvement?
But Xu Shi was not as optimistic as Qiduo'er, and said with a worried face, "No, I have to take a look and see what is going on with your milk disease." ”
As she spoke, the man was already walking towards the door.
Erxia, Liuju and Qiduo looked at each other, and they couldn't help but be a little worried.
