Chapter 90: Parting
Just after noon, the drunken red courtyard was still crowded with guests, but the foreman's Xiao Gaozi suddenly quarreled with the guests for some reason, and then smashed the table and stools like crazy, and scared all the guests away, and now Feng's mother has ordered someone to lock him in a firewood room in the backyard.
Xiao Yao found Feng's mother to inquire about the cause of the incident, at first Feng's mother was reluctant to answer, as if she was speechless, but under Xiao Yao's repeated questioning, Feng's mother sued Xiao Yao as if complaining. Since Meng Ling'er came to the Zuihong Courtyard, her uncompetitive son has been reluctant all day long, as if he has lost his soul, Feng's mother is a person who has gone through vicissitudes, how can she not know her son's heart, but the difference in status is too great, how can the two have results!
It turned out that since the last time Xiao Yao and Meng Ling'er had a lot of trouble in the city, Gao Quanwei was even more listless and depressed all day long. Today, Meng Ling'er returned suddenly, and after Gao Quanwei, who had not seen the person in the dream for a long time, learned about it, he seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, working diligently, moving quickly, and his face bloomed. Before he was happy, he heard the news from the maids that Meng Ling'er was leaving the Zuihong Courtyard. This news was like a thunderbolt in a sunny day, boom, and it exploded in Gao Quanwei's mind.
At this moment, Gao Quanwei passed by a prostitute client, and heard the man say as if in his mouth: "Hey, Lao Tzu hasn't touched that Meng Ling'er's little hand yet, but he was given a preemptive step, even the meat and bones were swallowed, and he didn't even give us a few sips of soup, hey, it's a pity." ”
Gao Quanwei squeaked the copper kettle in his hand, stopped his steps, turned around, and shouted at the man: "You...... He...... Mother. Kind of say it again? As he spoke, he gasped and walked towards the man. The man saw that a subordinate dared to be unreasonable to himself, so he had the courage to scold Gao Quanwei: "What are you, dare to speak to Lao Tzu like this, are you impatient?" ”
Gao Quanwei was already unhappy when he heard the news that Meng Ling'er was leaving, and he was depressed, but when he heard the man's words, he was even more sad and angry, his chest was full of anger, and he picked up the copper kettle in his hand and threw it at the man, and no one else could stop him. That person had already come with three companions, three to one, how could Gao Quanwei get a favor, someone had already run to inform Feng's mother.
After hearing this, Feng's mother hurriedly ran out of the downstairs and ordered her subordinates to separate a few people, and sent the three of them away after apologizing and paying money. looked at his son Gao Quanwei again, his face was bruised, the corners of his mouth were bleeding, he was still struggling desperately by the two of them, and he refused to give up, so he had to be locked up in the firewood room.
Xiao Yao explained his intention to Feng's mother, and took out a silver ticket of 5,000 taels and handed it to her, firstly, it was regarded as compensation for the drunken red courtyard, and secondly, he wanted to set it up, and said that she would allow Gao Quanwei to go to the outside world with him.
Who knew that Feng's mother pushed the silver ticket back, and sighed: "Everyone knows that Gao Quanwei is not my biological son, I picked it up unintentionally, but I pulled and brought him with a handful of and urine, and I have always regarded him as my own, I hope that he can get ahead one day and make a difference, but I really can't do anything" said that the corners of his eyes were filled with tears.
Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, Xiao Yao can deeply feel Feng's mother's love for Gao Quanwei, and suddenly feels that Feng's mother, who is greased and powdered in front of people, and is really great when she meets and flatters. Feng's mother finally said that it was all up to her son's own wishes, as long as Xiao Yao had the ability to persuade him, she would not stop him.
Xiao Yao took the key to the firewood room in Feng's mother's hand, and came to the door of the firewood room softly, Gao Quanwei inside screamed from time to time, and the voice contained unwillingness, sadness, anger and despair. Gao Quanwei in the house is really living like a year, his heart is like a knife, and he feels hesitant, is he really never going to see her again? I'm shouting in my heart, can you not go, I really won't think about it anymore, as long as I can see you, I'll be satisfied!!
Xiao Yao opened the door, blocking the sunlight shining in behind him, and stood motionless at the door. When Gao Quanwei saw that it was Xiao Yao, he gritted his teeth even more, "What are you doing?" ”
Xiao Yao stared at Gao Quanwei, who was full of hostility, did not answer, and smiled lightly, "If it's a man, come out with me!" After saying that, he turned and walked towards the courtyard. Gao Quanwei was so angry by Xiao Yao's words that his body trembled involuntarily, clenched his fists and followed Xiao Yao into the courtyard, staring at Xiao Yao with eyes full of hatred.
"I know that you are hostile to me because of Ling'er, and I also know why you beat people, and I also know that you often hate yourself for not having a noble background and suffering a lot of cold eyes. As for Meng Ling'er's matter, I don't want to mention it again, I will now give you two paths for you to choose, one is to continue to give up on yourself here and degenerate; The second is to follow me to the outside world to make a fuss about your life. Xiao Yao said what he meant straightforwardly, waiting for Gao Quanwei to make his own decision.
Gao Quanwei bowed his head and was silent, and after a while, he raised his head and asked, "Will she be with you?" ”
Xiao Yao gave an affirmative answer: "Yes!" But......" The words were interrupted by Gao Quanwei, "I know what you want to say, I understand, you don't need to say more." I accept your kindness. ”
I thought it would take some effort to convince him, but I didn't expect it to be so easy, although he knew that he decided to go with him for Ling'er, Xiao Yao didn't think that he had a plan at all, and the reason why he chose him was to trust him unconditionally. Xiao Yao, who has been a person in two lives, although he has not experienced the pain of unrequited love, can fully understand the sourness of seeing the person he likes when he is thrown into the arms of others.
Looking at Gao Quanwei who left, Xiao Yao smiled helplessly, and sighed in his heart: 'Little girl, I don't know how many people you have harmed~' At sunset, Xiao Yao walked out of his uncle's house with Meng Ling'er, got into the carriage, and drove straight out of the city. Xiao Yao hugged Meng Ling'er in his arms, looking at the busy and bustling streets, and the reappearance of what happened in Qinglong County flashed in his mind one by one. Farewell, Qinglong County, we'll see you again!
At the gate of the city, Wei Wu, Li Er, and Gao Quanwei were already waiting here, and another carriage was tied to the side of the road. After the people converged, the two carriages rushed off into the distance, one after the other.
At the same time, a carriage came galloping from the middle of the city, and when it came to a slow stop at the gate of the city, a man jumped down, looked at the carriage that was disappearing farther and farther away, and muttered, "Don't you want to say a word to me even a simple goodbye?" Hateful people! ”
Another man jumped from the carriage, and the two stood together, staring at the dusty path that winded away, and did not speak for a long time. The goose-yellow bright color skirt on the body was stained with a layer of dust, the breeze blew, the dresses of the two danced with the wind, and the sunset obliquely shone on the two people, dragging the figures of the two for a long time.
Writing here, the second volume has finally come to an end, Xiao Yao and a few people are about to start a new journey, a new story is about to be staged, what kind of problems will they encounter, and what kind of life will they break through? Stay tuned for the third volume of the next book.
