Chapter 44: When I grow up, I will marry you
Closing the doors and windows, Dongfang Wu lay on the couch again, but he didn't feel sleepy.
Qin Xiao stood outside Dongfang Wumen in a daze for a long time, the cut on the back of his hand that was cut by a dagger was still bleeding out, as if he had lost his soul. A voice in his heart was telling him that he was going to lose her, that he had already lost her, and he stood there without moving a single step.
He didn't know if if she would have kicked herself out of her heart if she had moved her foot tonight, and it was cold and snowy, as if the blood was going to be clotted.
Qi Buyu looked through the window, glanced at the figure standing in the courtyard, frowned, lay down again, and continued to sleep.
With his eyes open until dawn, Dongfang Wu got up and washed briefly, and then changed the medicine for Mrs. Cui, Qin Xiao was still standing in the courtyard, the blood from the wound on the back of his hand had coagulated, and Dongfang Wu passed in front of him, and he didn't want to pay attention to him.
"Brother Yanqing" The cheerful female voice came.
Lingxiu ran over from the hall quickly, her clothes were staggering, her body was brisk, like a dancing butterfly flying among the flowers, and her pretty little face had a bright smile.
Qin Xiao didn't go back last night, Lingxiu asked Shu Yi to take her to her brother Yanqing early in the morning, Shu Yi couldn't screw her, so he had to take people to the hospital early in the morning, as soon as he entered the door, Shu Yi noticed that the atmosphere between the two was wrong, so he stood at the entrance of the backyard and didn't go forward.
Qin Xiao's face was a little pale, and Lingxiu's face changed when she saw this, and she said worriedly: "Brother Yanqing, what's wrong with you?" β
He looked Qin Xiao up and down, and exclaimed, "Ah, Brother Yanqing, you are injured!" β
said to Dongfang Wu again: "Why don't you bandage Brother Yanqing?" β
That tone was clearly blaming Dongfang Wu.
Dongfang Wu glanced at the two of them, and then explained to Cui Xiaolin in the house: "Cui Gongzi, Mrs. is fine, I still have important things to do, come back in the evening to change the medicine for Mrs., remember not to move Mrs., and don't help her up!" β
"Yes, yes, remember, Mr. Lao!" Cui Xiaolin said yes again and again, and his gratitude was beyond words.
After that, Dongfang Wu was about to go out, but Lingxiu stopped her, "Dongfang Wu, Brother Yanqing has a deep affection for you, why are you so kind to him?"
Dongfang Wu turned her head, a beautiful face, cold as frost, she hooked her lips, smiled coldly, and said, "Isn't this what you want to see, if I don't do this, how can you take him away?" β
"Congratulations, your goal has been achieved, I don't want him anymore, you just take it away!" Her voice was so clear and shallow that she didn't seem to care at all.
"You β’β’β’β’β’β’" Lingxiu choked speechlessly.
She wanted to snatch his Yanqing brother back, but she didn't expect this woman to let go like this, but she threw her Yanqing brother like garbage, which made her very unhappy.
"You are still taking care of your brother Yanqing, you have got your wish, don't thank me, who made me charitable!" Dongfang Wu said coldly, then turned around, drove away the little gray ash, and went out through the back door.
Closing the back door, I vaguely heard Lingxiu say softly: "Brother Yanqing, you have shed a lot of blood, let Lingxiu bandage you!" β
Dongfang Wu didn't want to stay any longer, turned over on the back of the donkey, slapped the little gray on the buttocks, the little gray gray was in pain, Liao opened his hooves, and ran away happily.
Today, people from other villages wanted to move to Tucun, and when Dongfang Wu drove the donkey to Lizheng's house, he happened to collide with those people.
Dongfang Wuyuan wanted Li Zheng to help her write a letter of resignation, but this time, she was busy with the land again.
After getting the land, Dongfang Wucai told Li Zheng about his intentions, Xu Niangzi persuaded her and said that the men in the village had been arrested by the conscripts in recent years, and since they had become relatives, why not follow the fairness and endure it.
Dongfang Wu can't agree with this, the matter of feelings is about your love and my willingness, this kind of principle problem, can not be endured.
Dongfang Wu couldn't make it clear to her, so he only said that Xiao Ming was a big family, she was just a rural village girl, and now in his family, he chose another lady for him, and she couldn't let him live in this countryside with her for the rest of his life.
Xu Niangzi said that let Dongfang Wu follow Qin Xiao to live in his hometown, Dongfang Wu smiled faintly, saying that she was not suitable for the life of the noble lady who stayed at home, she was a bird in the forest, and she had her own world, so why bother to be trapped in a cage.
Hearing Dongfang Wu's words, he seemed to feel Dongfang Wu's loneliness, and Douding, who was playing with mud in the yard, ran over and said, "Sister, don't be sad, when I grow up, I will marry you!" β
Peanding's voice was immature and serious.
"Yo, the hair hasn't grown up, so you want to marry a daughter-in-law? You kid, be careful of your mother spanking you! Xu Niangzi was also amused by her bastard boy.
"Sister, save me!" Seeing that Xu Niangzi raised her hand and was about to hit him on the ass, Dou Ding suddenly got behind Dongfang Wu and sought protection!
"Didn't you say that you want to marry me when you grow up, if I protect you, won't it hurt your face!" Dongfang Wu smiled.
"Isn't that guy still growing up!" Peean pouts are deflated, cute tight.
Dongfang Wu squatted down, smiled with his eyebrows and eyes, and patted Douding's head: "Okay, your sister has a heart, go play!" β
Seeing the smile on Dongfang Wu's face, Douding grinned, nodded, and ran out of the yard happily.
In the end, Li Zheng still wrote a letter of resignation for Dongfang Wu, and at her request, Li Zheng would go to the county to help her deal with this matter, she put the straw envelope containing the letter of resignation into her arms, and Dong's heart was cold.
Back at the bamboo building, the yard had been cleaned up, Dongfang Wu went upstairs to change his clothes, and went down to the field.
The spring sun is warm, and the breeze is blowing, with the fragrance of grass and earth.
A few days ago, the vegetable seeds sprinkled in the ground have already pulled out the tender shoots, and Dongfang Wu went to see the grain seeds raised in the paddy field again, and the seeds with full grains have broken their shells, and there are white and tender buds popping out of their shells.
Once her thatched hut has been demolished, some time ago, Dongfang Wu planted vegetables in that field, and now the field is full of life.
Lying on her back on the ridge, the sun was a little dazzling, she stretched out her slender palm to her eyes, and through the gap between her fingers, she looked at the drifting clouds floating in the clear blue sky.
The mountains and rivers here can't keep him, and the mountains and rivers can't keep her, if he is the only one in his heart, even if there are thousands of rivers and mountains, swords and mountains and fires, she will go with him. However, he has a wide heart, since he is not the only one in his heart, so why not have her?
Dongfang Wu understands that her and Qin Xiao's worldview and love outlook are completely different, she has already made a decision, since the Tao is different, dragging mud and water will only cause harm to each other, why not draw a line quickly, after that, he took his Yangguan Road, and she crossed her single-plank bridge.
At dusk, Dongfang Wu returned to the medical hall, Qin Xiao sat in front of the wooden table in the backyard and waited for her, seeing Dongfang Wu coming in, he wanted to call her, but he wanted to stop talking.
Dongfang Wu tied up the little gray ash, and was busy pounding medicine, Shu Yi and Lingxiu whispered something in the hall, since Lingxiu came, Shu Yi and Lingxiu have been quite close. I didn't even say a few words to her, and the bar was naturally saved.
She knew that Shu was also the one who carved the views of the door into her bones, and if he didn't talk to her, she would ignore it and not care.
changed the medicine for Cui Xiaolin's wife, told him that he could take his wife home tomorrow, and made the remaining medicine into ointment, and asked him to take it back and change it for his wife every day.
Dongfang Wu asked for fifty taels of money, but Cui Xiaolin insisted on paying her one hundred taels, saying that her wife's life was saved by her, and this bit of silver was purely his heart, so he asked Dongfang Wu to accept it. Dongfang Wu didn't say anything more, she was a little heavy, and she didn't want to say more, so she accepted it.
After explaining the matter, Dongfang Wucai sat down beside Qin Xiao.
She took out the envelope from her arms, and a piece of jade pendant, which was the one she had taken and redeemed when she picked up Qin Xiao.
In the past, she kept this jade pendant because she was afraid that he would run away without paying, and she would not be able to get anything.
Later, he said that he wanted to stay, but she did not return it to him. She remembered that he was very precious to the jade pendant, and she thought, if he really wanted to stay, his would naturally be hers, and this could be regarded as a token of love! Although she is not from here, the love token is a thing, just thinking about it makes people's hearts warm. She was reluctant to give it back to him.
But now, she can't keep this thing! Now, she gave it back to him, and since then, she has been clear with him.
Seeing the words "Letter of Retirement" written on the envelope she placed in front of him, Qin Xiao's whole person seemed to fall into an ice cellar.
"You β’β’β’β’β’β’" he breathed froze, unable to speak.
"These days, I have figured it out, I know that you are bound to go back to take revenge, and you will marry Lingxiu. I can't be on the same path with you no matter what. I have no ambitions, no ambitions, and no fate! What I want is just a safe and stable, with such a person to accompany me, someone to listen to, someone to eat, someone to talk back, that's all! Dongfang Wu took a deep breath.
took out a small cloth bag from his arms, put it in front of Qin Xiao, and said: "This is all my silver, from here to Jinghua City, maybe it is enough, bring it, you will get it"
"You can also stay here for a few more days, and as for when to leave, you don't have to tell me or say goodbye!"
Hearing this, Qin Xiao's entire body trembled a little, he grabbed the envelope on the table and tore it to pieces: "You don't even want to get rid of me in this life!" β
Dongfang Wu stood up, looked down at his cold face condescendingly, and chuckled, "Heh, when you had a crippled leg, you said that you would forget the past and stay and live with me." Now that your leg is healed, and your fiancΓ©e is looking for you again, you can't look down on me. β
"Do you know the difference between true feelings and false feelings? The former means that those who speak and listen take it seriously, and the latter only listens to those who take it seriously! β
"And I, it's the latter!" Dongfang Wu's tone was flat, and his tone was waveless.
Dongfang Wu sneered, I'll get rid of you?
You yourself are going to Jinghua City, the red dust is full of flowers, many temptations, at that time, do you still remember me?
"I'm sorryβ’β’β’β’β’β’" did she think he was a liar who cheated on feelings? He did owe something to her, and now that he thinks about it, it seems that the promise he made to her has never been fulfilled, Qin Xiao is speechless!
"There are some things that I have to do. I'm ashamed of you, and I'll make amends in the future, but I won't accept it! Qin Xiao's deep eyes looked resolute and uncompromising.
"If you don't want to go to Jinghua City with me, I will leave Shu Yi behind, and when I finish handling my personal affairs, I will come to pick you up!" He took a step back, and he hoped that Dongfang Wu would also take a step back.
"Not necessarily!"
Seeing her refuse, Qin Xiao pushed the jade pendant on the table in front of Dongfang Wu, "This jade pendant was left to me by my mother, you take it!" β
"Don't dare to take it!" Dongfang Wu's voice was indifferent.
Do you want to be his aunt? Of course she didn't dare to take it!
