Chapter 11 Dark Tides Rise
The matter of losing the knife in the moat of the lockdown has to go through a reporting procedure according to the process, so after only half a day of duty, the lockdown went on vacation happily.
Because he didn't usually have the habit of cooking, he used to eat outside in the lockdown and bring Xie Yi's share back, but since he knew that Xie Yi could get out of bed and move, he packed the food and brought it back to eat together.
He still went out to buy food that day, and when he came back, he didn't see Xie Yi, and left a note on the table, saying that he would come back soon after going out for a while.
The lockdown thought that she was a person who had just recovered from a serious illness, what could be so urgent, and she was not very relieved to think about it, so she wanted to go out and find it, but she didn't see anyone after going around two streets before and after, and the lockdown was a little anxious.
I turned back the same way and looked for it again, and when I was almost at the door of the house, I saw Xie Yi.
She was followed by a boy about ten years old, and there was another one in her arms, who seemed to be only two or three years old, and the clothes and socks on the two children were brand new, and they looked particularly prominent, but their faces were very raw.
Xie Yi walked very slowly, probably because the work of holding the child was still difficult for her, she walked slowly, and even had to rest for a while after walking two or three steps.
The city was relieved, but suddenly there was a nameless fire, and he was angry that she ran out by herself. took a few steps to catch up, but didn't help, only asked with a cold face, "Where have you been?"
Xie Yi didn't answer, but the boy next to her pulled the sleeve of the closed city, "Yes! It's you! The shopkeeper grandfather told me that he wanted to ask you to seal the head, and this is for you." ”
As soon as the city closed down, he saw that the child took out a small grasshopper made of grass blades from his arms, which was not big, but a few claws were vivid, and he shook it in the palm of his hand, trembling and about to jump out at any time.
Only then did the lockdown show that this boy was the little beggar he rescued from the moat two days ago.
The little beggar came specially to thank him, his name was Mo Xian, and Xie Yi was holding his sister Mo Xian in his arms.
He said that day by the moat, it was his sister who was sick, and he was very hot and burning, he just wanted to go to someone's back kitchen to find some ice, but it caused a lot of turmoil, and now they are taken in by the old shopkeeper, and his sister's illness has been cured in the past two days, so he wants to come and thank him for the closure.
"This kid said to come to you, I wanted him to wait for a while, but he said that his sister was still outside, and I saw that he was embarrassed, so I took him out to pick up my sister" Xie Yi walked hard, and he didn't speak much.
Feng Cheng knew that his tone was over, but he didn't know how to apologize, so he responded vaguely, and stretched out his hand towards Xie Yi, "Your injury is not healed, I will hug the child." ”
After that, he didn't wait for Xie Yi's reaction, took his sister and turned his back, rushing to go first.
There were two more lights in the small courtyard. Lockdown put the grasshopper on the table and looked over and over, he also liked such gadgets when he was a child, and he asked his father to secretly get it for him, he asked the little beggar, "You made it up yourself?"
"Yes," the little beggar looked up, his eyes full of pride, "my mother taught me, my mother is amazing, she can do anything." ”
Feng Cheng looked at him interestingly, and then looked at the one in Xie Yi's arms, and ate the food fed by Xie Yi one bite after another.
Xie Yi's eyes drooped, and the lockdown suddenly remembered that when he was a child, he watched the nurse feed his brother, and he was like this, but the brother was naughty, and the nurse had to be coaxed and persuaded to do so.
When he saw this well-behaved, he was also interested, and said I'll feed it, and reached out to hug it, but the little girl liked Xie Yi very much, seeing that she was going to be let out, with a ring of her little arms and a glance at her small mouth, it was a face that wanted to cry.
The hand of the lockdown was frightened back, and he was dissatisfied, he asked Xie Yi, "You seem to be very good at taking care of children?"
"Well, don't count. Holding a small ball of soft and glutinous in his arms, Xie Yi was in a good mood, "I used to be a maid in other people's homes, and I saw that the nurse was like this." ”
The lockdown is even more unhappy, he thinks that I am also a nurse, why doesn't this child give me a chance.
said that he was not happy, but his heart was still relaxed, and the evening breeze was slightly cool, which made people's hearts happy.
I was happy to hear movement at the door, and I didn't get up when I closed the city, I opened the curtain of the courtyard and looked here, and saw a person wearing a yamen uniform calling him, "Feng Zhutou, the county lord is looking for you." ”
The lockdown thought that it was about the new knife to be separated, and when I knew it, I had to change my clothes. Suddenly felt that something was wrong, he didn't seem to know this person, it didn't make sense that he didn't know that he had found a newcomer at the yamen.
I wanted to come out and ask him who he was, but after raising my eyes back and forth, the person was gone.
Walked quite fast, thinking about the closure of the city, he briefly explained a few words to Xie Yi, nothing more than not to go out by himself, and the two children would be sent back to Ninghetang and the like when he came back.
Xie Yi responded one by one, she saw that her sister was sleepy after eating, and it was not good to go out to blow the wind at this time, so she sat in the small courtyard and coaxed her to sleep.
When the lockdown hurriedly went out, Xie Yi was left at home with two children. The courtyard was quiet, the little beggar squatted in the corner and teased the ants under the tree roots, Xie Yi hugged his sister and sang a simple song, and there was no wind in all directions.
Xie Yi felt that she was also in a trance when she sang, she tightened the clothes on her body, and wanted to beckon the little beggar to come closer to her, but she heard a thin and sharp voice suddenly appear behind her, "You are really having a good time these days." ”
The voice was not as sharp as a human, Xie Yi's hand shook, she didn't dare to look back, the sister in her arms was already asleep, and she was suddenly strangled by a force, "wow" and cried loudly.
