Chapter 51: The Sacrifice

Previous Chapter

Early the next morning.

Qin Jingqian was waiting early in the morning, and when he saw Lin Xi come out, he smiled lightly.

"Let's go."

He opened the car door for Lin Xi and made a "please" gesture.

"Wait!" Lin Xi held on to the car door and said with a meaningful smile: "Don't say where to go, where do I dare to go with you?" ”

She had a smile on her face, but her eyes were full of vigilance, which sounded like a joke, but she was extremely resolute, thinking that if he didn't tell her the details, she wouldn't go with him.

"What, you're afraid I'll sell you?" Qin Jingqian looked at her with a smile, raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked, "Do you think I dare?" Are you willing? ”

Lin Xi avoided answering, just winked at him.

"If you believe me, follow me, if you don't believe me, I don't bother to force it." He sighed lightly and said with a light smile.

Lin Xi frowned, his attitude surprised her, maybe she thought too badly of others.

She smiled at him and sat silently in the car.

I only felt that her smile was worth a thousand words, Qin Jingqian's heart warmed, and he also bent his lips to drive forward.

"I'm really glad you're willing to believe me." He said.

Lin Xi groaned and didn't say anything.

Today's weather is good, there is a big sun, the scenery along the way is good, but it is getting more and more remote, gradually away from the bustling, I saw the hidden fog and green mountains, and occasionally there will be a few girls wearing dark blue printing and dyeing clothes.

Seeing Qin Jingqian, they greeted each other warmly, and some even threw a few winks, which made Lin Xi stunned.

"There's nothing to ask me?" Qin Jingqian seemed to be in a good mood.

"You may not be able to say if asked." Lin Xi Nunu mouth.

He laughed brightly, "You can guess. ”

Lin Xi's eyebrows raised slightly, and he replied slyly: "Hmm...... I guess this is your home. ”

"Pretty smart." He didn't hesitate to praise himself, and then the car stopped.

"Is this the time?"

"I can't drive in here." After Qin Jingqian finished speaking, he opened the car door and got out of the car, and Lin Xi followed and got out of the car.

"Is it cold or not?" He helped her straighten the fur collar of her tweed cloak.

Lin Xi shook his head, "I'm not afraid of the cold. ”

Seeing him open the trunk, Lin Xi leaned over to see that there were many precious Chinese medicines inside.

"I have something to do, would you like to take me on a trip?" He asked, curling his eyes.

Lin Xi responded: "Okay." ”

He opened the way with his things, and Lin Xi also enthusiastically helped him carry them.

Walking on the road, Lin Xi suddenly had an idea in his heart, how did the two of them think this was at this moment...... Husband and wife go to relatives? Or is it ...... Husband and wife both return home?

Lin Xi was frightened by his strange thoughts.

Qin Jingqian knocked on the door of a house, and it took a long time for an old man who seemed to be in his old age to open the door.

Seeing Qin Jingqian, the old man actually said with a down-to-earth accent as if he had seen his own son: "It turned out to be the little brother of the Qin family, come in and sit!" ”

"No, no, I have other things, it's winter, I sent you some tonics." Qin Jingqian said with a smile, what he said also had a bit of dialect flavor, and he handed the bag of medicine in his hand to the old man.

"It's hard for you to think about it every year." There was a deep affection in the old man's eyes, and he sighed lightly, "This is your daughter-in-law, right?" He looks so handsome, and he is as good as you. ”

Noticing Lin Xi standing obediently on the side, the old man smiled kindly.

Lin Xi's eyes kept coming, and he waved his hand hurriedly, "No, no, no, I'm not!" ”

Qin Jingqian didn't say anything, just glanced at her panicked appearance with a smile, and said to the old man: "She, not yet, but sooner or later." ”

After speaking, he took Lin Xi and left.

"I think I need to talk to you about your problems!"

Lin Xi pulled away his hand and emphasized.

Qin Jingqian's expression was calm and calm, which was in stark contrast to Lin Xi, who was not calm: "Don't be in a hurry to argue, you just let me say it." ”

Many people walked back and forth, and almost the lonely old man Qin Jingqian in the entire village sent warmth.

It can be said that today's trip has changed Lin Xi's impression of Qin Jingqian a little more, at this moment, Qin Jingqian, who is kind and enthusiastic, and Qin Jingqian, who indifferently asked for an arm of the Jiang family's daughter, are like two people.

"You're here to give them tonics?" Lin Xi asked suspiciously.

She seemed to be less and less able to understand what kind of person he was.

"Not exactly." He said calmly, "Tomorrow is my mother's sacrifice day, let's go, take you to my house to see." ”

"Hmm."

It was dark early in winter, and after a busy day, when he followed Qin Jingqian to his home, it was already dark, Qin's house was a small stilted building, and it could be seen that compared with other people's homes, the conditions in his house were slightly better.

The windows of the surrounding neighbors' houses are bright, and the lights of thousands of homes are on.

"I can't imagine that such a small village has electricity."

While waiting for Qin Jingqian to open the door, Lin Xi looked around and sighed casually.

This era is not as good as the 21st century, and this realm is enough to use the electric lights without burning candles.

The reason for this is that Lin Xi feels that it should be inseparable from Qin Jingqian.

"I just got through a few years ago." Qin Jingqian replied in a deep voice.

"Do you come often?"

"Not often, but every year." He said, "I'm a nostalgic person. ”

Lin Xi nodded, this is very similar to her, she is a very nostalgic person, except that sometimes her memory is not very good.

He banged on the door and pulled the string of the light on the side of the wall.

Lin Xi clearly heard the sound of him pulling the lamp, but the strange thing was that the room was still dark and there was no movement.

"Huh? What's wrong? Lin Xi was silent for a long time before he sensed that something was wrong and asked.

"Hey, okay...... It seems that I forgot to pay the electricity bill. ”

Qin Jingqian didn't seem to be answering her, as if he was talking to himself, with a bit of doubt and small embarrassment in his tone.

Lin Xi couldn't hold back for a while, and laughed out loud.

Qin Jingqian coughed dryly twice, and stretched out his hand to Lin Xi: "Come, pull me." ”

Lin Xi has night blindness, he can't see things clearly and has no sense of security, so he has to put his hand in his palm, he suddenly tightened, and the temperature in his palm warmed her heart.

Lin Xi was stunned.

"Alas......" I don't know what I tripped under my feet, although Lin Xi was held by Qin Jingqian, he still stumbled a step.

"Be careful!" He didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but he took her in his arms.

Lin Xi was angry, this dog was definitely taking advantage of her!

Thinking of this, Lin Xi pushed him away without hesitation.

This little action like a temper trumpet made Qin Jingqian laugh for a while.

"Although I have a good reputation, but you Lin Xi are no better than other women, I don't have the courage to do anything to you for the time being."

He said.

Lin Xi didn't respond, unhappy in his heart, but after thinking about it carefully, he thought about it and thought about it.

He led her all the way to the chair, "You sit well, I'll go find the candle." ”

After a while, seeing that Qin Jingqian came back with a few candles and lit them in all corners with foreign fires, the room gradually brightened, and Lin Xi saw the general furnishings in the room clearly.

This small building is not big, it seems to be two rooms, and although the things are neatly arranged, it is still a little crowded.

Qin Jingqian handed Lin Xi a candle.

"Red?" Lin Xi fiddled with it and said with a strange smile, "Jing Shao, you are quite romantic." ”

"Hmm." He nodded and said jokingly: "This month is dark and windy, I'm afraid that white is too weird." ”

Lin Xi chuckled, "To be honest, I feel like another world here, quiet and harmonious, isolated from the world, and not disturbed by the war, which is unique. ”

Compared with the vain prosperity of Liangcheng, this place is much more down-to-earth.

Qin Jingqian seemed to have guessed that she would say this, his thin lips curled, and he smiled: "An eldest lady like you shouldn't have seen such an environment, right?" ”

Although his tone was very ordinary, Lin Xi felt a little ironic when he heard it, but he didn't seem to be sarcastic about her.

"How can a person live a smooth life? I've also suffered a lot. Lin Xi sighed lightly and said, "But I have to admit that the gap between the prosperity of here and Liangcheng is really big." ”

"That's what I thought when I first arrived in Liangcheng." Qin Jingqian's voice was low, "This is actually my mother's home. ”

"When my mother was pregnant with me, due to a natural disaster, the family was cut off from food and water, and she was lowly, and she couldn't eat anything good, so I was born with a stubborn disease, and even the doctor said that she wouldn't live long." Qin Jingqian seemed to be caught in a deep memory, and his words were both plain and heartfelt, "At that time, my father believed it, kicked me and my mother out of the house, and left us to fend for ourselves. ”

Lin Xi listened patiently, and couldn't help but show a sympathetic look on his face.

Alas, it's not easy for anyone......

He always felt that he had a lot of women, and he was in the prime of life, and he would have more sons in the future. But who knows......" Speaking of this, a cold light flashed in Qin Jingqian's deep eyes, Lin Xi was still waiting for his next words, but he listened to his words: "We have been living here since then, my mother died when I was five years old, and I only arrived at the Lin family at the age of eleven. ”

"No wonder you're so nice to these people." Lin Xi lowered his eyes, pestled his face, and said.

From the time he knew a little about Qin Jingqian's past in the hospital, Lin Xi was relatively shy about some of his family affairs and never mentioned them, for fear that he would be sad.

He is willing to take the initiative to speak out now, and he really regards her as a friend.

She also roughly understood what kind of person Qin Jingqian was, presumably if he was kind to him, he would definitely keep it firmly in mind and be kind to that person.
