Volume 1 The Quiet River Section 20 Elopement

Just when the voice of "Nuo" was about to reach Zhao Hong's throat and was about to spit out. Zhao Hong swallowed the voice stiffly. Because he seemed to see Qin Mi's angry gaze in front of him. Not far away, there seemed to be a voice questioning Zhao Hong:

True love is eternal, it's only been a few days that you're going to abandon her, isn't it a joke? Where are all the vows you promised her? Is that how you treat her with true affection?

At this moment, Zhao Hong, who was originally a little obsessed with money, sobered up. I promised to sell my girlfriend for glory, even though I got a lot, but I had to pay for it with a lifetime of guilt and torture.

The choice of the heart, this cocoon-like pain tormented Zhao Hong's heart. In the face of Satan's promise from the devil, were Adam and Eve, who were in the Garden of Eden at the time, also entangled in the temptation of the forbidden fruit?

Seeing that Zhao Hong's response was directly swallowed, Qin Tingchang, who was secretly complacent, was stunned for a moment, and directly entered the petrified state. It took a long time to thaw from the petrified state, and then Pavilion Chief Qin's face turned from white to red, from red to blue. The purple-faced eyes revealed the anger in his heart, and his tone was a little anxious.

"Will you say yes or no?"

"Let your subordinates think twice." Although Zhao Hong's tone was a little loose, he just didn't spit out and broke up.

"Let me ask you again, do you say yes or no?" This time, Qin Jin's tone was even more anxious, and his tone was an octave higher.

"My subordinates will forgive me!" This time, Zhao Hong's categorically rejected Pavilion Chief Qin's kindness.

Pavilion Chief Qin Jin looked extremely angry, he no longer forced Zhao Hong to express his position, and impatiently turned around and turned his back to Zhao Hong. He bent his left arm diagonally behind his back, raised his right arm at the same time, and waved his hand at Zhao Hong with the back of his arm.

"Go down."

"The subordinates retired."

A day later, the pavilion father of Baoji Village found Zhao Hong.

"The Pavilion Master has a task assigned to you, and in a few days, the grain collection team from the county town will come to our Baoji Village. Your one is in labor this time, and is responsible for transporting grain to the city. ”

It is said that the county seat of Shiyi is two days away from Baoji Village, and the hardships on the road can be imagined when running such a long distance to serve labor. It is estimated that it was because of his refusal to break up with Qin Mi that the pavilion chief began to give me small shoes to wear, Zhao Hong thought secretly. But how can people under the eaves not bow their heads? Is there a better way at this time?

Soon, Liu Song, Cao Peng and others, who were notified, also came to Zhao Hong. "How can you run so far to do hard labor! Not at home? It may take seven or eight days to come back. Liu Song complained to Zhao Hong with an anxious face, and then his gaze became sly. This kind of drudgery, Brother Hong, you must reflect it to the pavilion chief. ”

"How many iron tools I have made in so many days! Let's change the errand," Cao Peng also echoed Liu Song.

Zhao Hong looked at everyone helplessly, estimating that they still didn't know the relationship between himself and Pavilion Chief Qin's daughter. At this time, looking for Pavilion Chief Qin, it is estimated that it will add fuel to the fire, and the Pavilion Chief will have an excuse to clean himself up, and I am afraid that I will not know how to die when the time comes.

"How can I change the pavilion chief's decision?" Zhao Hong let out a long sigh and said to everyone gently.

After everyone dispersed, Zhao Hong found that Yun'er was already anxiously waiting at the door of his courtyard, and when he saw Zhao Hong walking in, the matchmaker hurriedly greeted him.

"The matter between you and my young lady was discovered by the master, but the master did not criticize me, but quarreled with the young lady fiercely and locked her in the yard." The matchmaker showed a very anxious expression on her face. "But Miss ran out over the wall today. Miss said to let you wait for him by the river, it's still the old place! ”

"I see." Zhao Hong replied to Yun'er with a serious face, because he had already realized the seriousness of the problem.

"I'll pack up and I'll go right away."

By the time we arrived at the river, it was already dark. A flame burned in the sky, and countless red-hot clouds flowed like galloping horses and orange-red rivers. In the afterglow of the setting sun, everything seems to be plated with a beautiful red halo, which seems so peaceful and peaceful. Qin Mi stood under a weeping willow with her head down.

"Your father put me in charge of transporting autumn grain to the city. I'm going to leave the day after tomorrow. Zhao Hong was the first to break this atmosphere. Staring at the girl's face, the bangs that slanted with the breeze rested on the eyebrows of the curved willow eyebrows. But Qin Mi, who lowered her head, made it difficult for Zhao Hong to see her full picture.

"How long will it take? When will I be able to come back? The girl quietly raised her head and glanced at her lover, then hurriedly lowered her pink neck, her hands kept fiddling with the corners of her clothes, and her eyes kept looking at the corners of her clothes, and her face was as red as a ripe apple.

"I don't know when I'll be back. At least ten days, maybe half a month. Zhao Hong continued in a calm tone.

"Oh, got it." There was a hint of regret in the girl's tone.

"The county soldiers in the city will come the morning after tomorrow. So I'm going to go back early and get ready. ”

"My father and my mother locked me in the house behind closed doors and wouldn't let me out, and I jumped out of the wall. They are going to marry me to the Li family in Shiyi City. With an anxious face, the little lady raised her head sharply and looked directly at Zhao Hong. Zhao Hong observed carefully and found that the girl's originally beautiful eyes were bloodshot, there was obvious redness and swelling around the eye circles, and there were faint tears in the corners of the eyes.

"I'm leaving." Zhao Hong spit out softly, then turned around and walked quickly along the dirt road in the direction of Baoji Village. Zhao Hong, who has a kinship, is afraid that he will not be able to leave if he does not leave at this time.

Before Zhao Hong walked ten steps away, he only heard an exclamation from behind.

"Zhao Lang! Wait a minute. With the shouts behind him, the sound of fast footsteps was also heard. Zhao Hong turned his head to look, only to see Qin Mi running out of breath and catching up.

The girl Zhao Hong gasped a few times in front of her, and then the girl who breathed a sigh of relief stared at Zhao Hong's eyes with a resolute expression. The girl with an expectant expression suddenly opened her arms and hugged Zhao Hong's waist tightly, and her pretty face was buried sideways on Zhao Hong's shoulder.

"Zhao Lang, take me away!"

"Elopement!" This thought suddenly jumped Zhao Hong. Zhao Hong felt that his brain was a little overwhelmed. His heart also became entangled, and if he eloped now, it meant that he had to give up everything he had so far, land, house, status. Back to the state of nothing. When the time comes, what will Qin Mi eat, what will he wear, and what will he live in? Could it be that two people go begging together? The most important thing is this kind of troubled times, you just beg and no one wants it.

"I'm sorry, I can't take you away. At least for the time being, I can't take you away. After careful consideration, Zhao Hong finally came to a conclusion after hesitating for a long time.

Hearing this, the girl's arm loosened, and she raised her head indifferently to stare at Zhao Hong's eyes, and a disappointed expression appeared on the girl's face, and her eyes were already full of tears.

Hearing this, the girl stared at Zhao Hong's face stupidly, and crystal tears slid down the girl's face, as if they were bright pearls.

Before Zhao Hong finished speaking, the girl cried with a "wow". Immediately, she turned her back on the pretty face of pear blossoms and rain, and stood in front of Zhao Hong's eyes for a long time, a breeze blew, and the black hair of the girl's shawl fluttered in the wind, making her back a little blurry when she was close at hand. Zhao Hong slowly raised his right hand, stretching his five fingers to caress the girl's soft black silk. At the moment when his finger was about to touch the girl's long hair.

"I just...... Don't want you to see it...... My ...... with tears The face ......" the girl's choked voice came from her back.
