Chapter 10: The county order invites

"Sister, what did you send to your brother?" Xi Duyu poked her head out from behind the door, her hair combed into a neat bun, and her little face was white and red, like glutinous rice balls wrapped in red bean paste.

"It's a new dress, I bought two more for you from my brother, Xiaoyu wants to try it?" Xi Duyun hugged the burden in his hand, his eyes were unconsciously dyed with a smile, Qi Lichen was thoughtful, and he didn't forget to prepare Xi Duyu's share, which was indeed appropriate.

After Mr. and Mrs. Xi went, the second brother of Xi was a servant of the tiger and never treated the two sisters well.

Not to mention new clothes, it's great to have you a hot meal, and their sisters haven't added new clothes for a long time.

As soon as he said that there were new clothes, Xi Duyu almost jumped three feet high, and clapped his hands happily: "Okay, good, there are new clothes!" ”

This village is not far from the county seat, and the people are thriving, as long as it is not the time to sleep, it is always lively, but there is one place, no matter what time it is not lively, Qi Lichen's residence is quiet and deserted all year round.

"What are you going to do?" Qi Lichen's cold gaze fell on the man in white at the door.

"It's not been peaceful lately, and Miss Luo sent her subordinates to follow the pavilion master, saying that it will always be useful." The man in white bowed respectfully to Qi Lichen, and his eyes were always lowered between his words.

Qi Lichen opened the invitation sent by the county government, thought for a moment and said: "The prime minister is suspicious, you should not follow me, but this mention reminds me of something, you go to the Xi family sisters to follow, don't expose your whereabouts." ”

Xi Lao'er's family is vicious, and they will still move if they don't get the field in their hands, and he can't take care of Xi Duyun from time to time, so it's just right for the white night to pass.

"I respectfully follow the instructions of the Pavilion Master, the subordinates have come here this time, and the treasure you investigated before has an eyebrow, and it is indeed as you said, it is related to the frequent appearance of mysterious pictures and texts recently."

Bai Ye took out the drawings and handed them to Qi Lichen, glanced at the dilapidated wooden table, and was stunned that he didn't put the drawings up.

Qi Lichen took the drawings and unfolded them on the table without changing his face, because the wooden table was old and rough, he directly drew a hole in the drawings, and the two were silent.

"I have endured it for many years, and finally waited for the opportunity, and the appointment of the county order the day after tomorrow just helped me muddy the waters."

A little fire on the oil lamp in front of the table jumped and flickered, just like Qi Lichen's long-dormant heart began to gradually become restless.

As the sun set, the afterglow of the setting sun disappeared into the sky inch by inch, and the village began to light up, and Xi Duyun's family was no exception.

Xi Duyu was hungry and thin under the harsh treatment of the Li family, and Xi Duyun sold the crop and got the silver taels, so he went to buy some meat and came back.

Wash and chop the meat to make a copy, pick a few rapes in the vegetable field in the corner of the yard nearby, pour the cut hot oil on the hand-making soup after it is done, and the fragrance is fragrant.

Xi Duyu followed behind Xi Duyun without a single step, and her saliva was almost dripping to the ground. Xi Duyun turned her head and saw that she had a smile on her lips, smiled helplessly, took out a handkerchief to help Xi Duyu wipe it off, and took it back halfway.

Even though it was his sister, he still couldn't do it, and the corner of Xi Duyun's mouth twitched: "Xiaoyu is good, wipe your saliva yourself." ”

Xi Duyu waited eagerly for the red oil to copy his hands, and after a hasty wipe, he was afraid to go on the wooden bench and eat it.

"Sister, you eat it too, it's so fragrant, it's much better than the paste my sister used to make." Xi Duyu slurred and beckoned Xi Duyun to sit down as well, and Xi Duyun was lucky enough to see the rest of the overnight meal made by the original owner of the body that night he had crossed, and it was hard to explain.

"Haha, eat more if you like." Xi Duyun remembered that she had taken something blackened, and suddenly she had no appetite.

After dinner, Xi Duyun boiled hot water for Xi Duyu to bathe, and just sat down to rest for a while, there was a knock on the courtyard door.

The unhurried knock on the door was particularly clear in the night, Xi Duyun subconsciously brushed his hair neatly and walked up to open the door, and slowly opened the door, revealing Qi Lichen's cold face.

When Xi Duyun opened the door, he was looking at the ginkgo tree, and when he looked away, there was an indescribable look in his eyes...... Sad.

"How do you ...... Coming at night? Xi Duyun looked him up and down, obviously he had bathed, and he had a faint scent of soaphorn on his body.

"I'm going to walk around and eat, and I'll come and see when I pass by you. The county magistrate invited me to a banquet the day after tomorrow, and I will go to the county seat, and if you want to buy something, I will bring it back to you. ”

The village roads are muddy, and it is not convenient to enter the county seat, and the people in the village are not willing to spend money in the county seat, so they go less.

Qi Lichen put his hands behind his back, his lips pursed slightly, and his expression was quite unnatural. Xi Duyun tried to hold back a smile, what was unintentionally passing by, it was obvious that she came to see her on purpose.

"I do have something I want to buy, but I have to go to the county seat in person, I have been trapped in the village for a long time, and I want to go outside."

The layout of the village is narrow, Xi Duyun has been here for so many days, and he still doesn't know how the outside is developing, and he doesn't know whether it is round or flat.

During this time, Xi Duyun's thoughts and insights Qi Lichen saw it, even if he didn't agree to take her there, Xi Duyun himself would find a way to go: "Yes, you prepare first, I will come to pick you up on the day I enter the county." ”

"You like ginkgo?" Xi Duyun followed Qi Lichen's gaze and looked at the ginkgo at the door, every time Qi Lichen came, he had to look at this tree, and when he looked at the ginkgo, his eyes seemed to hide a lot of things.

"Well, it's late, I don't want to stay long, you should rest early." Qi Lichen's tone was soft, but his face was very cold.

"Oh." Xi Duyun nodded in a daze, Qi Lichen seemed to be close, but in fact, there was a thick wall in between.

This night, the ginkgo biloba fell even more sluggishly, but in front of this tree, Xi Duyun really couldn't feel any sadness, for no other reason, it was really the ginkgo on the tree was too smelly!

The day of the banquet was just around the corner, and Qi Lichen rented a simple carriage to take Twilight into the city with him.

Wooden wheels rolled through puddles on country roads, splashing brown muddy water, Xi Duyun sat in the carriage and was tossed and turned by the carriage, only Qi Lichen stood still from beginning to end.

As soon as he got out of the carriage, Xi Duyun vomited on the side of the road for a long time, and all the excitement at the beginning was lost in the bumps along the way.

Qi Lichen handed her a handkerchief, and didn't forget to give her a thoughtful back: "Really, you shouldn't be allowed to come." ”

Qi Lichen went to the banquet today, dressed more seriously than before. Dressed in a white robe, with a dark coat on the outside, with a sachet crowned with hair, the end is righteous and awe-inspiring.

His temperament is cold and indifferent, his facial features are good, Buddha relies on gold clothes and people rely on clothes, he wears so well that Zhou Zheng is the focus of the battle in front of people.

Xi Duyun was afraid of getting his clothes dirty, so he hurriedly pushed him away: "What are you wearing today...... Vomit! ”

Halfway through speaking, his stomach tumbled again, and Xi Duyun ran to the side and continued to vomit.
