No. 107 Night Parking
On the second day of February, according to the folk customs of Huocheng, every household was busy celebrating the birthday of the land lord, and the proprietors who opened the market to do business had to invite their men to eat the first teeth of the new year.
In Xinan's Xiaozhou Mansion, Zhou Kai, the little fat man, has a round belly, and his two smiling eyes are so squinted that he can't see the slits. The house borrowed his light and also returned the tooth sacrifice, because this day was also the birthday of the little fat man.
But a few days after Zhou Kai's birthday, the news that Xu Ne's father and son were going to leave Huocheng and go to Quanzhou after attending Zhou Ke's wedding was officially explained by Zhou Xian in the mansion. The little fat man, who had been stupid for a few days, understood the meaning of the words under Man Yun's explanation, and immediately cried as if it was a thunderstorm.
Fortunately, the child's face is like the weather, and by the time of the sixth week of the wedding in early March, the little fat man's blue eyes have been like the first glow after the rain.
The new Liu family, although she is only sixteen years old, is the eldest daughter in the family at home, often with her younger siblings, and has a gentle temperament to coax children very experienced, Zhou Kai found some sense of existence in the new sister-in-law, and accepted that Xu Ne's father and son were just going out to a long distance, and then the eldest brother would pick them up like a sister-in-law.
Of course, the Zhou family is most satisfied with the Liu family, or the eldest brother Zhou Ke, who is mixing oil with her honey.
According to the situation, Zhou Manyun will inevitably think of the situation when his younger brother caught Zhou, and also privately thought about if that kid didn't scream like Shi Potian and let everything go slowly, would the master stay instead.
After inspecting the Dunyuan Courtyard and seeing that all kinds of items inside and outside had been sealed and ready to be stored in the warehouse, Zhou Manyun couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The two Xu Neye, who are about to leave, are the same as when they came. The most expensive thing is the box of drugs without any labels.
"Hey! Sister Yun. We'll be gone tomorrow. If you don't open your mouth, you will keep your brother? Xu Yu, who had been following Man Yun, suddenly turned to Man Yun and squatted down and stared at her. A pair of eyes are shining, and there is a shelf style that will be closed as long as you offer the right price.
Zhou Manyun turned his face away and shook his head vigorously.
Everyone in the world has the power to work hard for their future, even if she is as close to Xu Ne as a father and daughter, she can't force him to stay for her own selfishness. As for Xu Yu, she doesn't know his future, but she can only respect his own choice and will try her best to pay attention to it. But it will never force others to intervene.
"Little junior sister should be really ruthless!" , Xu Yu exaggeratedly covered his chest and stood up, squeezing a hurt expression.
To be honest, Xu Yu was really hurt, he always boasted that he not only got along well with the Zhou brothers, but even the sisters in the inner house liked him. It's just that this time it was uncomfortable to leave the Zhou family, but when Zhou Xian mentioned it to everyone that day, only the eldest lady Xie who had always wanted to be a big matchmaker jumped out to keep the female dependents, and the Min family.
Putting aside the Xie family, who he has always had a good impression of. Min's thoughts are well known, and it's not for him. It's just that as Manyan's mother, she wishes that Manyan would get married early, so as to save Manyan's wedding date, after all, two girls of the same age, Manqing's ranking is still in front.
"You remember to send the letter back on time. If it's hard outside, if you can't eat and drink, get back! Anyway, here, you have your own sister to raise you. ”。 Man Yun smiled reluctantly and patted Xu Yu's back vigorously.
Xu Yu lowered his eyelashes to stop a tear that was about to roll down. Ren Manyun patted behind his back, not daring to look back. It took a long time before he whispered, "You too!" Anytime, anywhere. As long as you want, I will take you away, and I can raise you for the rest of your life......"
As the stepfather said, it's a pity that the age difference between the two brothers and sisters is a little bigger. Eighteen-year-old Xu Yu is already a young man, coupled with the experience of going south and north in recent years, his figure has gradually become burly, and the eleven-year-old Man Yun is tall among girls of the same age, and he only puts the ground on his chest, which shows that he is a child who has not grown up.
Even regardless of age, during the Chinese New Year, Xu Yu also talked to Zhou Xian and Xu Neshen when he rejected Manqing's marriage, and also said that he treated Manyun like a sister.
Xu Ne stood at the door of the house for a while before he coughed softly at the warmth of the room.
Xu Yu was still babbling to Man Yun about many chores that needed to be careful, and he couldn't stop for a while, Man Yun had already bounced up and called softly: "Master! ”
"Yun'er go back and pack some luggage! Grandpa wants to take you and our boat to Jixi, and it will be enough for about seven or eight days! Xu Ne commanded in a deep voice with a stiff face.
Zhou Manyun paused dumbfoundedly, and then hurriedly went out. The footsteps running on the flower path were like stepping on the clouds, very erratic, even if Hongmei, who was waiting at the gate of the Dunyuan, was chasing and shouting behind her, she also turned a deaf ear and rushed straight to the direction of the Tibetan Xiu Tower.
"Grandpa took Sister Yun to send us?" , Xu Yu touched his head in astonishment, and asked suspiciously: "Dad, aren't we going north?" It's just that I was afraid that those people would find out about the Zhou family in the future, so I said in Huocheng that I was going to Quanzhou in the south, but Jixi was really in the south of Huocheng! ”
"It's not to send us, it's just to stop by!" , Xu Yu sighed lightly, in order to fulfill the lie, he could only do the opposite thing once.
Xu Yu flattened his mouth, but immediately thought of the benefits, and said with a smile: "It's good that I can take that Nizi to go a little more, I can't say that I can tell Grandpa halfway and kidnap her!" ”
A chestnut slammed on Xu Yu's head.
Xu Ne withdrew his hand with some regret, and now Xu Yu, who was an inch taller than him, struck it, and it was very uneasy. He folded his sleeves and said solemnly: "My father-in-law happened to receive a letter from an old friend from Jixi, and he said that I should go and see that person. ”
"Grandpa's old friend? Do you recognize Daddy? ”
Xu Ne looked at Xu Yu in front of him and shook his head sadly. It's just that according to what Zhou Xian said, this person not only wants to meet Xu Yu, but also Man Yun should also meet. That's why he suggested that Zhou Xian also bring Man Yun.
Zhou Xian's words in the Cultivating Heart Hall just now are still in my ears.
"Minxing! Since the fifteenth year of Yongde, our father and son have known each other until now, and my father has never asked you about your origin, but only according to your words, you are an ordinary doctor in Nanzhao...... But when you came into the house, you read all the old things about Nanzhao in the collection of books that stopped fasting, and at first you also inquired about the old man's old years many times...... Then you don't mention it again. The old man understands that you are afraid to ask clearly. It hurts our father-son relationship.
Originally, as a father, he wanted to forget it like this, and some things were brought into the coffin. But this time. You want to travel far away, and it just so happens that I received a letter from an old friend. In his letter, he said that he was riddled with illness and would return to the Buddha's country, but the old sins and karma could not be eliminated, and he could not be liberated...... The "Nanzhao Anecdotes" you have been looking for. The old man originally had it, but at the invitation of this old friend who compiled the book, he burned it on fire......
See it or not, whatever you want. Being a father is just a coincidence, maybe you can solve his demons, and he can also solve your doubts......"
Life is so full of irony that often when people give up, they suddenly put the long-lost answer in front of them.
On the morning of March 17, a small passenger boat with an oil wall and an upholpong left Huocheng Taohuadu leisurely. All the way south.
Xu Ne, who was sitting at the stern of the boat, stared at the water surface that was rowed away for a while, and his heart palpitated inexplicably, and Huo Cheng, who had wanted to live in the previous life, was gradually drifting away like a dream in the smoke and rain......
"Master can't sit in vain!" , A fishing rod was stuffed into Xu Ne's hand by Man Yun with a smile. Playful blinking eyes seem to be decorated with starlight.
Xu Ne smiled, came back to his senses, and held back the rare sentimentality. Then he looked at the fishing rod in his hand and frowned.
"Daddy, he can't catch half of them at all! Yun'er wants to eat fish, why don't you jump into the water and catch it for you directly! ”。 Xu Yu drilled his head out of the cabin and spared no effort to uncover the bottom. He used to think of his father as an all-powerful man of God. But now that he has grown up, he understands that in addition to being ten million times stronger than himself in the use of drugs, his cheap father is not very good at other skills, and he is not as good as himself.
"Be careful of the cold water! Young people don't know things, and when you reach the age of the old man, you will be miserable ......", Xu Yu's arm was grabbed by Zhou Xian, and he didn't need any strength.
Xu Yu hurriedly helped Grandpa, and hummed dissatisfiedly: "Daddy is stupid!" ”。 If you are not stupid, you will not be able to turn your master, if you are not stupid, you will not leave Jiangnan, and if you are not stupid, you will not trouble him to follow him into the rivers and lakes.
"Tourists only meet the old ...... in the south of the Yangtze River", Zhou Xian, who understood the meaning, leaned on the pillow of Xu Yu Lane Haode, closed his eyes and sighed softly. Every age will have different pursuits and dreams, he is old and tired, and Xu Ne outside is now the age when he is afraid that he will not be able to move in the future when he is old.
"We rested at Baiheliang at night. If you can eat enough, you will point to the master and fish from Xize. Now it's time to practice, it's time to practice! Outside the cabin, the girl's voice was as clear as a warbler's bird, as if she wanted to get back the hard work of learning art in the past.
"Did anyone learn to fish in the running water? Otherwise, I'll put some medicine in the water......"
The boat carries three generations of grandparents and grandchildren, and the light boat hits the water, as if it is not half separated from sorrow.
Before going out, the itinerary is not bad, and it is time to arrive at Huiluan Bay, which is suitable for berthing boats and safe, next to Baiheliang, just in time for the night to fall. The water surface is scattered with a little starlight, swaying gently, lapping the boat, very comfortable and peaceful.
It's just that there are already a few boats moored in Huiluan Bay, and the Zhou family's boat can only find a corner that is still free aggrieved.
Man Yun, who was standing on the bow of the boat, mixed with the insider's instructions to Xu Yu, who had robbed the captain's job, "Go over there!" xiangyou back, and then click left ......"
Xu Yu's eyes widened, and he had the urge to throw down the fence in his hand directly, rushing to block Man Yun's mouth. In the faint crowd on the shore, a few people had already walked to the shore curiously, looking at their pointing and calling each other, as if they were laughing at his inability on the boat.
"Brother Xu! There is a tide on the eighteenth of the year, and the boat should be more stable in the middle! A voice on the shore finally couldn't help but shout.
Zhou Manyun's originally unrestrained laughter stopped abruptly, grabbed the canopy with one hand, and raised his eyes to look at the shore of the lake.
A few torches were gathered on the shore, and a brand-new ship parked in the bay slowly swung its rudder to the side, leaving the land for a safe berth.
"Let's stop!" , Zhou Manyun, who was a little sluggish, thought about the grandfather who was still in the boat, and whispered a hint to Xu Yu, and received the sudden kindness.
A boat cable was thrown ashore, and a dark figure jumped up to take it, and firmly tied the boat to the anchor post.
"Boy! I haven't seen you for a long time, and this craft hasn't been pulled down yet! Xu Yu, who jumped off the boat, patted the shoulder of the boat man in an old-fashioned manner and expressed his affirmation.
Against the backdrop of the firelight, Xiao Hong, who had not appeared since running away from Baiheliang last time, showed a bright smile. (To be continued......)
