Ah Ci was making a small calculation, Sun Xian put down his pen helplessly, and said, "Ah Ci, have you also made that plan in Yihong Courtyard before?" ”

Ah Ci knew what he was talking about, and nodded awkwardly.

"Do you regret it? That's why you're here for us. ”

Ah Ci, who was broken, glared at Sun Xian Lin with some annoyance, and the compassion in Sun Xian Li's eyes pierced Ah Ci's heart vividly.

"I just remember Big Brother Qi, and I don't regret it." A porcelain mouth hard.

Sun Xian sighed and said, "I will help your mother redeem herself, and you don't have to go to the Thousand Cliffs." ”

"So nice to me, just because you sympathize with me?" Ah Ci approached Sun Xian Lin and looked up at him, those black and white eyes were full of water at the moment, hazy, like the moon in the water.

It was night, Sun Xian stood under the eaves, but there was no trace of sleep, Ah Ci's eyes always lingered in his mind, and after a long time, he sighed.

In fact, he himself doesn't know his feelings for Ah Ci very well, is it sympathy? After studying medicine for so many years, I already have a benevolent heart, and it is impossible to say that I am not sympathetic, but there are other things.

But he had already said to Su Lingling that he liked him, although it seemed natural for a man to have three wives and four concubines in this world, but he didn't want to do this, he didn't want to live up to Su Lingling.

At the same time, he didn't want to hurt Ah Ci.

Sitting under the eaves until dawn, Sun Xian Lin rubbed his forehead, at this time there seemed to be something under his feet, Sun Xian Lin looked along the white cloud, Ah Ci was standing at the end of the corridor, and on the other side, Su Lingling was walking this way.

"Morning, Brother Sun, Sister Lingling." Ah Ci greeted the two of them, squatted down and picked up the electric fox.

Sun Xian saw the blue and purple circles under her eyes, and knew that she must not have slept well yesterday.

But he still smiled and said hello, "Morning, Ah Ci, Lingling." ”

Su Lingling just nodded slightly.

For a while, the courtyard fell silent, Su Lingling and Sun Xian were not people who talked much, and Ah Ci didn't have the heart to enliven the atmosphere at the moment, the three of them stood awkwardly for a while, but Ah Ci spoke, "Brother Sun, I'm going to the kitchen to make breakfast." ”

Sun Xian nodded obediently, Ah Ci ran into the kitchen with an electric fox in his arms, just relieved, and saw that something seemed to be moving under the stove, Ah Ci thought it was a thief, reached out and took the kitchen knife on the board, and tiptoed to the stove.

Before he could get to the side, the "thief" had already stood up with a noodle in his mouth.

"Uh, senior......" Ah Ci breathed a sigh of relief and put the kitchen knife down, "I thought it was a thief." ”

The old man sucked the noodles into his mouth, burped comfortably, and said, "I woke up hungry this morning, so I came to the kitchen to eat some noodles by myself, and you are hungry too?" There's a little left here, can you get some to eat? ”

Ah Ci shook his head, "No, I'm here to make breakfast for everyone." ”

Accompanied by the morning bell of the Shaolin Temple, the explosion of the small courtyard in the back mountain resounded throughout the Dharma sect.

Ah Ci and the old man came out of the kitchen with a black face, and Yi Sheng, who hurried over, saw the two of them, and then looked at Qi Fengqi Su Lingling and Sun Xian Lin standing helplessly on the side, and he almost understood.

"Senior, do you have any silver? We ruined someone's kitchen, do we have to pay for it? Ah Ci pulled the sleeve of the old man's coat, and the old man's eyes rolled, "I have lived in seclusion under the cliff for fifty years, where did I get the money?" ”

Ah Ci couldn't help but roll her eyes, it's over.

In the end, Su Lingling came over and handed Ah Ci a handkerchief, "Let's go, I'll take you to wash and change into clean clothes." ”

Ah Ci followed behind Su Lingling like a little girl, and the old man immediately followed, but Sun Xian Lin stopped him.

"What are you doing with me? I'm going to wash and get clean, too! The old man said angrily.

Sun Xian smiled helplessly, "People are girls, it's inappropriate for you to follow them, so let's go with the juniors." ”

Ah Ci finally cleaned up her body, Su Lingling looked at her coldly, Ah Ci touched her nose and smiled, but Su Lingling took a hosta from her head and handed it to Ah Ci.

"Let's go."

Ah Ci was stunned for a moment and didn't answer.

Su Lingling forced the hosta into Ah Ci's hand, and his tone was even colder, "This hosta is a tribute from the Western Regions, you take it to the pawnshop, it is enough to redeem your mother, and you can also buy a good dowry for you, you leave, don't appear in front of us again." Without you, Senior Brother would only be better off. ”

It had never been shown before, and it turned out that Su Lingling had always blamed himself for harming Qi Fengqi.

Ah Ci held back her tears and smiled softly, "Well, I see." ”

She put the hosta away, "I'm sorry for causing you trouble during this time, but I'm glad to know you as a blessing to me." ”

Su Lingling was a little unbearable, the woman in front of her was not much younger than herself, but she had an innocent smile that she had long lost, especially after knowing her background.

Why, even though you have such a life, you can still smile so brightly?

She was jealous.

Especially, when she smiled, Sun Xian's gaze stayed for her.

Just let her be a bad person.

"I'll send you down the mountain." Su Lingling turned around and didn't see Ah Ci finally holding back the tears.

Su Lingling took Ah Ci on a small road, and Ah Ci didn't see anyone until the foot of the mountain, so Su Lingling took out a bag of broken silver and handed it to Ah Ci.

Ah Ci carried the heavy money bag, and couldn't help but hook her lips and smile, "It's worthy of Miss Houfu, it's really generous." ”

She didn't wait for Su Lingling's reaction, turned around and left, took a few steps and stopped, turned around, and said towards Su Lingling, "I will go far away, I will never appear in front of you again, I wish you and Brother Sun happiness, and also tell Brother Qi for me, I owe him, and I will pay it back when I come, I hope he will not be obsessed with me, although I don't like Yu Feiyu, but she really loves Brother Qi, and I hope Brother Qi can try to accept her." ”

"There will be no time in the future."

After Ah Ci finished the last sentence, she raised a smile, bright and brilliant than the spring sunshine behind her, Su Lingling looked at it, in a trance, it seemed that only the two of them were left in this world, and Ah Ci had already turned around, and her long black hair crossed a chic arc, and there seemed to be no nostalgia.

Su Lingling's face was so pale that there was no trace of blood, she also turned around, but her steps were weak and weak, and her heart hurt with every step. The idea of compassion that she received in the Shaolin Temple since she was a child, although she has not become a monk, has also been educated not to speak, and the first time she did this kind of thing, it is undoubtedly a soul for her.

Su Lingling returned to the small courtyard, and Qi Fengqi saw that there was only him, but there was no Ah Ci, and he couldn't help but wonder: "Where is Ah Ci?" ”

Su Lingling handed him the letter that had been prepared last night, "She's gone." ”

Qi Fengqi took the letter tremblingly, "How come?" Just returned ......"

"I guess she did it on purpose." Su Lingling lowered his head, "Senior brother, I'm a little uncomfortable, I'll go back and rest first." ”

Ignoring Qi Fengqi, Su Lingling turned around and went back to his room.

She took out the basic Buddhist scriptures from the bookcase and prepared to copy the Buddhist scriptures to meditate, but after repeatedly making mistakes in copying, Su Lingling let out a long breath, tore the paper and threw it into the incense burner on the side.

Ah Ci went down the mountain, rented a carriage by himself, and finally returned to Tai'an three days later.

As soon as I entered Yihong Courtyard, I saw the old bustard twisting his fat waist to send away a guest, and when he saw Ah Ci come in, his face that was painted snow-white with lead powder smiled even brighter, "Ouch, my good daughter is finally back, my mother misses you to death!" ”

Ah Ci only had a cold face and said, "I'll redeem my mother." ”

The old bustard's face stiffened, and he shook his fan and glanced at her, "Redeem your mother?" Where did you get the money? ”

Ah Ci took out the money bag from her waist and shook it in front of the old bustard, she counted it, Su Lingling gave her a full fifty taels of money bag, she spent five taels to rent a carriage, even if it was more than enough to redeem her mother, plus the hosta, it was indeed enough for her and her mother to have food and clothing in the next life.

The old bustard's eyes were fixed on the money bag, and his mind was thinking about how to get the most benefits.

With Ah Ci's appearance, if she can continue to work here, it will definitely be more than thirty taels.

But now that Ah Ci has money, how can she let her stay?

"Hey, it seems that our Ah Porcelain has climbed the high branches! Could it be that the son last time, I want to say that the old man is really good, and he was born a talent! It's a perfect match with my A-porcelain! The old bustard stretched out his hand to grab Ah Ci, but Ah Ci avoided it with a disgusted face, she didn't need to force herself to give the old bustard a good look now, she and her mother would be free immediately.

"Where's my mother?" Ah Ci asked.

"Your mother is still sleeping, and an old customer came last night, but your mother was tired." The old bustard laughed and trembled, but Ah Ci only felt sick.

"I'll go find my mother, you can prepare my mother's deed of sale first." Ah Ci went upstairs and went to find Dong Minglan.

Pushing open the door, I saw Dong Minglan lying on the bed, sleeping on her side, she was really tired, and Ah Ci didn't wake up when she went in.

Ah Ci walked over, picked up the clothes that had fallen on the ground, put them next to the bed, and took the basin to the outside to fetch a basin of water.

This time Dong Minglan finally woke up, and when she saw Ah Ci, she rubbed her eyes in disbelief, pinched herself again, grinned in pain, and finally made sure that it was her daughter Ah Ci standing in front of her.

"Mother."

"Ah Ci, you're finally back." Dong Minglan was about to lift the quilt, but suddenly realized that she hadn't put on clothes yet, and Ah Ci said: "Mother, I have money now, I can redeem your deed of sale." ”

"Where did you get the money?" Dong Minglan widened her eyes, for fear that Ah Ci had signed some contract with the old bustard behind her back.

"I went out to play before, I made a friend, I ...... with her" Ah Ci paused, smiled, and continued: "I am very close to her, I told her about myself, and she was willing to help me, so she gave me money and asked me to redeem for you." ”
