In the early morning of the next day, Li Qing opened his eyes in the sound of birdsong, a cloud of white mist lingered in front of the window, faintly visible outside the window, like a fairyland, he couldn't bear to lie in bed, got up and walked out of the house, just went out but just saw the two of them walking out of the inner room, Yang Zhao's clothes were covered with grass clippings, his face was pale and panicked, and Yang Huahua looked like he had been riding in a carriage all night, exhausted, sleepy, his hair was scattered, and there were black circles under his eyes.

"Good morning!"

Li Qing smiled, couldn't bear to look at their expressions, and walked straight out of the gate, the fresh and biting wind was blowing in his face, it was the early morning of winter, the earth was covered with a thin layer of white mist, the ground was full of wet dead leaves, there was a vegetable field on both sides of the yard, dozens of Chinese cabbage were frozen and rolled, and the cabbage leaves were condensed with hoarfrost. Li Qing stretched out for a long time, greedily breathing in the fresh air, and a cool feeling flowed throughout his body, washing away the turbidity in his body.

Yang Zhao slowly walked behind him, his expression was a little embarrassed, and he hesitated and said, "I'm sorry last night, I snubbed my brother!" ”

Li Qing smiled: "Are you afraid that I will tell my sister-in-law!" ”

Yang Zhao suddenly stretched his neck long, like an angry male goose, he blushed and said angrily: "What are you talking about, I am innocent with Huahua, we haven't seen each other for many years, we chatted at night last night, so I am a little in good spirits, you person, how can you think crookedly!" ”

Li Qing didn't bother to pay attention to him, and said in his heart, you are just colorful and irrelevant to me, but tonight Lao Tzu has to save electricity, so he patted the grass clippings on his shoulder and smiled: "It's too late for me to be grateful, I know that my eldest brother was afraid that I would freeze last night, so I deliberately left the quilt for me so that I could sleep well, hey!" Having an eldest brother like you is also a blessing from being a good person in the younger brother's previous life. ”

Yang Zhao suddenly sneezed, rubbed his red and swollen nose and said, "In that case, then the elder brother wants to go into the city with me today?" ”

"Big brother is going to the county office, I'm going to do it, I want to walk around, the scenery here is beautiful, it's suitable for the elderly, I want to see if I can buy some properties."

"Pension?" Yang Zhao was suddenly confused, if he wanted to retire, should he prepare a coffin.

"I'm going to pick up Hui'er at my mother's house, why don't you go with Brother Li and me, just by the way, I will tell Brother Li about the customs of Daojiang County." Yang Huahua, who was listening with her ears on the side, suddenly took over.

Li Qingzheng was worried that he didn't have a pillow to sleep, so Yang Huahua sent it, and suddenly his bad feelings for Yang Huahua went to three points, and he was overjoyed: "Then it's troublesome for the third sister." ”

Li Qing turned back to Yang Zhao and said, "I'm at the Yang family today, after the eldest brother visited the county order, I didn't go until the Yang family came to me." ”

Yang Zhao glanced at Yang Huahua, and the fox asked, "What is he going to do with you?" "The breath was sour, like spoiled milk.

"You don't have to worry about my business, you can do whatever you want."

Last night was dark, she didn't see Li Qing's appearance clearly, and now looking at him again, Yang Huahua's eyes lit up, what a refreshing man, and then looked at Yang Zhao, his face was filthy and stingy, and he was shy about the general's belly, and when he saw that he was troublesome, he just wanted to kick him out of the door.

Yang Zhao saw that her gaze at Li Qing began to be confused, knowing that she was making old mistakes again, he sighed in his heart, and had no choice but to hate her.

Yang Yuhuan's house is far away from here, there are ten miles away, but ten miles is still too short for Yang Huahua, she just hopes that there is no end to this road, let this rare man accompany her all the way, Yang Huahua's father died when she was only twelve years old, and then went to the countryside with her mother, all the people she came into contact with on weekdays were rude men, and her husband was a tuberculosis ghost, and she took more medicine than food.

She was riding on a horse, her eyes kept secretly looking at Li Qing, and she saw that his forehead was full, his nose was slender and tall, his face was sharply outlined, and his whole body exuded a strong masculinity, Yang Huahua couldn't help but be intoxicated.

Li Qing led Ma Dong to look around to enjoy the idyllic scenery all the way, both sides of the road are endless rice fields, the autumn harvest is early, the rice fields are bare, many people are driving oxen to push the plow, for the next round of cultivation and fertilization, from time to time there are old farmers stop their work, looking at them with hoes and laughing.

"Third sister, you people here are also friendly, and they all stare at me and smile."

Yang Huahua glanced at him, bit her lip and smiled: "You are holding the reins in front, and when someone who doesn't know the details sees it, they think it's the new aunt who has returned to the door!" ”

Li Qing laughed: "Isn't the new aunt wearing a winged hat with flowers on his head?" Besides, you don't wear a wedding dress, like a person who comes back to the door. ”

"At that time, the dress when marrying relatives meant returning to their parents' house after passing the house." Speaking of the word 'round house', Yang Huahua's face was slightly red, but her eyes turned around, watching his reaction.

"Third sister, is the shadow of the mountain in the distance Qingcheng Mountain?"

Yang Huahua suddenly became angry, only looked in the direction of his finger, and said angrily: "Yes!" ”

"Third sister, when you got married, but you put a red cloth on your head and a red strip, what do you worship the sky and the earth, and finally the husband and wife worship each other, right?"

"Humph! ......" Yang Huahua didn't bother to pay attention to him anymore.

After getting off a bridge, I finally arrived at the entrance of the village, there was a small grocery store at the entrance of the village, the door of the store was open, but there was no one inside, some rice and flour coarse salt were piled up in a mess, and a few old farmers who bought goods squatted under the shade of the tree, chatting and picking their feet.

Further on, there are scattered houses, hidden in the shade of green trees, without the slightest scene of early winter.

Yang's house is in the east of the village, surrounded by a circle of dense willow trees, there is a stream in front of the house, the stream water is crystal clear, shallow paved with a layer of pebbles, every time you walk here, Yang Huahua always has to jump barefoot into the stream to play in the water, although the weather is cold, but the habit developed since childhood can not be changed.

She ran to the stream, pulled up the hem of her skirt and tied a knot, revealing a white lotus-like calf, threw off her floral embroidered spring shoes, rolled up her sleeves, and stepped into the stream with bare feet, bent down, and brushed the water towards the shore like a girl.

"Brother Li, come down too! The water is actually not cool. ”

Li Qing smiled silently, only leaned on a tree to watch her play in the water, thinking that she called herself to come with her to take the opportunity to extort some money, but after walking for nearly half an hour, she didn't mention a word about money, which was a big surprise to him, and he unconsciously despised her, and he was a little interested in this woman who would profoundly affect the atmosphere of the Tang Dynasty in the future.

"The scenery in this area is beautiful, I plan to build an inn next to the official road in front of your house, is the third sister willing to look after the store for me?"

Yang Huahua was stunned for a moment, and suddenly came to her senses, "Looking at the store, isn't it just to be the shopkeeper?" She trembled with joy and replied, "Wish! Wish! ”

She was happy in her heart, she held a handful of stream water and sprinkled it high, she couldn't help laughing loudly, the gloom that had accumulated in her chest for several years was swept away, and she didn't care about the pebbles, jumped in front of Li Qing in a few steps, and said with a deep smile: "Huahua has seen the owner." ”

Li Qing threw her shoes and said with a smile: "Have you arrived at your mother's house?" ”

"Here we are, behind those willow trees." Yang Huahua pointed ahead, and suddenly, her hand froze in the air, and she didn't withdraw it for a long time.

"They're here again!"

Her voice trembled, her eyes were full of panic, and she grabbed Li Qing's arm, "Brother Li, they're here again!" ”

Li Qingshun looked through the dense willow branches, and five or six horses were tied to the door of a farmhouse in front of him.

"Who are they?"

"Debt-getting!" Yang Huahua suddenly thought of her son, shook off Li Qing, and rushed to the door.
