The Mystery Chapter 40 The dust returns to its place

Previous Chapter

"Blue clouds, yellow leaves, autumn colors, cold smoke on the waves......" A clear voice came from afar, the voice was elegant and clear, through the dense trees, jumping over the crooked mountain road, it seemed so harmonious and warm, as if this quiet mountain also suddenly had a bookish atmosphere.

"Nice, nice." A sound like a silver bell came, and when I heard it, I knew that it was a young girl.

"Brother, can you still read poetry? You are so knowledgeable! The young girl said in a tone of admiration.

"That's it." The voice of the previous chant of poetry then sounded, and she said very proudly: "Little sister doesn't know, your brother Yunqi is different from the past, in the words of the play, it is Wen Ke Dingbang, Wu Ke Anguo, the arms are handed over with a thousand strengths, and there is a splendid article hidden in the belly......"

"Mother, look at what my brother has become, his mouth is about to crack to the root of his ears." The little girl ruthlessly interrupted her brother's boasting.

"Ahem, ahem, you two children." A middle-aged woman spoke in a weak voice, but she was clearly happy, and there was a smile in her tone.

With a creaking sound, a carriage emerged from the bend of the mountain, not strong, but sturdy, and capable of running long distances. The car is only the most common one in the countryside, the style is simple, there are four walls and the top, but there is no decoration around, neither the dragon and the phoenix are depicted, but also not painted with bright paint, carved with beautiful patterns, at a glance, you will know that this car is just a tool for ordinary people in the countryside for long distances, not for the rich and noble.

In front of the carriage walked a young man, from a distance, his figure was a little thin, but if you look closely, you will find that this young man has no fat on his body, every muscle on his body is streamlined, although he is not tall, he is like a lazy cheetah, he can burst out at an amazing speed at any time.

Not far from the young man, there was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, wearing a wreath of wild flowers on her head, holding a wooden stick in her hand, and beating the stones on the side of the road with the wooden stick as she walked.

The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and inside lay a thin woman, a little pale, but with a smile on her face and a look of satisfaction.

This, this is Yun Qi and Godmother, Xiaohong.

When he came out of his father's house that day, Yun Qi was still hesitating how to choose the road in the future, but he didn't expect that his younger brother hired his brother to kill him on the way, which made his heart sink to the bottom all of a sudden, for his father's property, he really had no interest in it at all, for Yun Qi, nothing could compare to the affection of his relatives, so many years, he had countless times in his dreams, he often dreamed of those deceased relatives, every time he dreamed, he would always wake up in tears, countless times, Yun Qi would fall into a panic, Because he found that with the passage of time, those familiar faces were blurring in his memory day by day, including his mother and sister, Yun Qi was afraid that one day, he would forget everything, and all that past would be like water waves, gradually calming down, and finally disappearing, as if it had never happened.

Therefore, Yun Qi often thinks that as long as he can go back to the past, as long as he can keep those beautiful things, even if he can exchange all his property, it will be worth it, and even, Yun Qi is willing to give everything he has, just for a happy life with his mother and sister.

Finding his father, Yun Qi was very happy, he was in a dizziness for a long time, he even didn't believe it, how could happiness come to him in this way, it came to his head, when he was completely disappointed, he suddenly gave himself such a big surprise, he was grateful for the gift of God, and felt that life did not abandon him, so that he was full of yearning for the future.

The younger brother and Erniang, who had never met, had never been in contact, but after all, they were related to themselves, and Yun Qi decided to try to accept them no matter what they had done before, but he didn't expect that his appearance gave his younger brother such an illusion.

This younger brother regarded himself as an enemy, an enemy who came to rob the family property.

He didn't even have to get rid of himself.

Yun Qi shuddered when he thought about it.

Back at the godmother's house, Yun Qi didn't say anything, the godmother was still very weak after the doctor's recuperation, but after all, she was going in a good direction, Xiaohong was probably frightened and exhausted at this time, and after seeing her brother come back, as soon as her spirit relaxed, it was easy for people to fall asleep, and she was asleep in bed, curled up, like a kitten.

The godmother couldn't sleep, probably because she slept too much during the day, she looked at Yun Qi with her eyes open in the dark, and didn't ask anything, Yun Qi didn't know what to say, so she pretended not to see anything, turned around and lay down on a bed that Xiaohong had temporarily set up for him.

This night, Yun Qi thought a lot, his mind was very messy, he tossed and turned on the bed, the bed was pressed by him and squeaked, and he didn't fall asleep in a daze until dawn.

Early the next morning, Yun Qi got up early, after a simple wash, he went out, when he came back, he was holding a carriage in his hand, the carriage was loaded with some necessities to go out, Yun Qi said to the godmother, to take them to Fujian to enjoy happiness, there is a big house of their own, there are a lot of delicious food, fun things, here is not a home.

The godmother was reluctant, although the home was very broken, but after all, she had lived for so many years, and every brick and tile in it, and even every wood chip, were accumulated by herself, but she couldn't resist Yunqi, Yunqi said that Fujian would have a better future, for herself, but also for Xiaohong, yes, Xiaohong is about to grow up, and she can't be so poor for a lifetime.

The godmother couldn't figure out why Yunqi was in such a hurry, she was going to leave that day, she almost didn't want anything in the house, the godmother smacked her lips in pain, she wanted to bring everything, the broken pot, the broken bowl, and even the small wooden stool, the godmother wanted to take it with her, after all, they had been with her for so many years.

However, Yun Qi was very resolute, except for valuable things, she didn't bring anything, her godmother had no choice, so she asked Xiaohong to call her neighbor Aunt Wang, and reluctantly gave her all this home, Aunt Wang felt that one day her good deeds moved the heavens, so there would be such a good thing waiting for her, so she smiled happily, and hurriedly helped Yun Qi's family prepare to go away, and then watched them gradually go away.

Watching the Yunqi family turn the corner, Aunt Wang slowly turned her head and looked at the yard in front of her, her face was full of smiles, although this yard is not big, and the building is very ordinary, but after all, it is a house, it is a small family like them for many years of hard work to build, and now it really falls on her head, and she doesn't have to spend a penny, is this true? Aunt Wang couldn't help pinching her thigh again, the pain was real. Ha ha.

Suddenly there were footsteps behind her, Aunt Wang turned around, but saw Yun Qi trotting towards her, he wouldn't regret it, Aunt Wang thought worriedly, a little apprehensive in her heart.

Yun Qi walked up to Aunt Wang, took out a letter from his arms, and handed it over, the envelope was empty, there was nothing, there were a few pages in it, but the seal was glued, I don't know what was written.

"What is this?" Aunt Wang wondered.

"Aunt Wang, this is a letter, please keep it for me." Yun Qi smiled, showing his beautiful teeth, "In the past few days, Meng Dahu may be sent to find me, as well as my godmother, if they ask about us, you tell them that our whole family has moved away, as for where to move, you just say you don't know, if Meng Dahu himself comes, you give him this letter, he will understand everything, remember, you must hand it over to Meng Dahu himself, if he doesn't come, five days later, you will burn this letter." ”

"Huh!? All right. "Aunt Wang's mind is confused, and she doesn't know what kind of medicine is sold in Yunqi Gourd, but since she has such a big house, it is a trivial matter to hand over a letter, so she hurriedly agreed.

In the afternoon of the same day, Meng Dahu really sent someone to find Yun Qi, and also sent a beautiful carriage over, saying that he wanted to take Aunt He's family to live in the Meng Mansion, but he didn't expect to pounce on him, Aunt Wang told the visitor according to Yun Qi's words to him, and the people looked at each other, so they had to go back.

Not long after, there was a sound of horses' hooves, and Meng Dahu rushed over, looking at the empty courtyard, his eyes were full of disappointment, and he kept whispering: "Why did you leave, why did you leave?" ”

Aunt Wang handed Yunqi's letter to Meng Dahu, Meng Dahu's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly tore open the seal, regardless of whether the ground was dirty or not, sat on a stone, took out the letter paper and looked at it.

Yun Qi did not mention the entanglement with his younger brother in the letter, but said that he was very happy that he finally found his father again, and originally wanted to stay with his father and live together, but his godmother's body needed to be recuperated, and he had urgent matters to rush back to deal with, so he had to leave in a hurry. In the future, when I succeed, I will come to my father, hoping that my father will take care of his health.

Meng Dahu sat on the stone in a daze, holding the letter paper in his hand, his mind was in a mess, he couldn't say anything wrong with his son's statement, but he just felt that there was something wrong with it, when he drank last night, his son was still so happy, and today he suddenly left, although he didn't even say hello, which is really unreasonable.

After thinking about it for a long time, I really couldn't figure it out, so I had to stand up beside him, lead the horse, and slowly walk towards the way he came, the son said that he would see each other in the future, so he looked forward to the day when he saw him again.

******************************************

The mountain road twists and turns, the crisp birdsong comes from afar, and the breeze blows softly, rolling up the fallen leaves on the ground and rattling.

"Brother, what are we going to do after we get to Fujian?" Little Red asked, bouncing her head as she walked around.

"Brother has a house in Fujian, you just cook and do laundry for me, I will earn the money, brother wants to live a happy life, haha." Yun Qi said half-jokingly.

"Laundry and cooking, then I will." The stick in Xiaohong's hand swept the weeds on the side of the road, full of yearning for the future, and the future will definitely be better than the present.

"Xiaohong, didn't you say that you were going to marry Brother Yunqi before, otherwise, after you arrive in Fujian, you will get married!" The godmother's voice suddenly came out of the carriage.

"Mother......" Xiaohong exclaimed, her face became more and more red, she didn't expect her mother to suddenly mention this matter, she was really ashamed.

Yun Qi was also startled, and his legs almost tripped together, "Godmother, don't make fun of us." ”

"Huh, you don't want to?" The godmother was surprised.

"No, it's not ......" Yun Qi hurriedly waved his hand, joking, if he said he didn't want to, where would Xiaohong's face go, and he would not have to jump off the cliff.

"People are still young!" Xiaohong said in a low voice, her big eyes secretly looked at Yun Qi, her heart was both nervous and full of anticipation.

"Then how long will it take to call it small?" The godmother looked at Xiaohong playfully.

"Mother, I'll ignore you." Xiaohong covered her flushed face and ran forward, twisting her waist and twisting her waist, and ran away in a blink of an eye.

Haha, the godmother's laughter spread far and wide in the valley.
