Chapter 25: Want
The sun is blazing.
With a bang, the door back home was slammed open again.
But this time it was one of its owners who pushed it away.
"Brother! Where the hell have you been, how did you come back! The rice is going to be cold! ”
There was a noise of returning and leaving, and Ying Baoyue, who was sitting on the dining table drinking porridge, raised her head and looked at the young man who rushed back with a paper bag outside the door.
"You're back."
"Hmm," Guichen gasped as he stood in the doorway, wiping his sweat.
"Where the hell have you been in the middle of the day, come in quickly," Mu said, coming out of the kitchen, holding a bowl of white porridge in his hand.
"The rice at home is all cooked, and there is still the last bowl of porridge left, you can drink it quickly, remember to measure the rice in the afternoon."
"The price of rice on the market has risen again, tomorrow I will go to a village farther away to buy it, and tonight I will try to get some game and come back." Guichen frowned when he heard this, and replied with clenched fists.
Life is really a pig-killing knife.
forced a son of a family to become a young man at the head of the village.
Ying Baoyue held the missing bowl and thought silently.
The three of them are really very human, and she wondered if Chu Ji wanted to starve these three to death in the first place.
After all, the young lady of the family who is not diligent and does not distinguish between grains and grains, has no monthly routine and no subordinates, and if he doesn't do anything for three months, he can die.
Unexpectedly, the mother and son spent seven years like this.
In this way, the half-abandoned survived in this village.
Ying Baoyue looked at the rough palm of the young man at the door, presumably he had also experienced a lot of things, and it was really not easy to be fifteen years old.
If she could, she ......
"Put this on, and we'll go up the mountain in the afternoon."
Without waiting for her to think of something, Guichen stepped through the door, shoved the things in his hand into her arms, and then turned his head and swallowed the porridge bowl in Muhammad's hand as if nothing had happened.
"Brother, what is this?" Guili on the side came over, frowned at the paper bag in Yinghuyue's arms, and reached out to open it.
"Hey, don't ......" Guichen regretted a little why he didn't wait to return to the room before handing it over to her, but before he could regret it, the paper bag was torn open.
"Brother...... You ......" Gui Li's eyes widened in astonishment as he looked at the contents of the paper bag.
"It's ......"
Ying Baoyue looked at the soft fabric in the paper bag and was slightly stunned.
It was a new dress, not luxurious, or even a little too plain, but it was exactly what a young woman was wearing.
Previously, she was inexplicably pulled home by Guichen, and this person left me and hurried out after a trip.
She thought that this young man was suddenly in a hurry, but she didn't expect it......
He...... Did she go out to buy clothes for her?
Ying Baoyue raised her head, and the large beads of sweat on the young man's forehead ran down his neck.
Drop by drop, seep into the rough ground.
But......
"Brother! You're going to buy her clothes? Where does the spare money come from at home! Gui Li was stunned for a long time, Huo Ran stood up and looked at Guichen in disbelief.
Ah, sure enough.
Ying Baoyue clutched the fabric in her hand, how difficult the life of the mother and son was in this courtyard, she had already fully understood through three meals a day.
"Don't make any noise," Guichen put down the bowl in his hand and frowned at his sister, "I didn't buy rice money, I bought it with the money I exchanged for my cotton jacket." ”
"What?" Gui Li looked at his brother's eyes and became more and more stunned, "Then what do you wear in winter?" ”
She and her mother said that her brother's winter coat was the last one left!
He actually took the last of his family's clothes...... Changed clothes for this woman?
"Winter is still far away, and we'll talk about it then," Guichen said with a nonchalant expression.
However, looking at the girl who was quietly staring at the new clothes in her hand and did not speak, the nervousness in the young man's eyes flashed.
Noticing his gaze, Ying Baoyue looked at him and smiled.
"Thank you, Guichen."
"You ......" Guichen clenched his fists on his side, then looked at the indignant Gui Li on the side, and turned his head to speak expressionlessly.
"Don't think about it, you saved my sister a piece of clothing, and I just gave you back."
The boy's voice was flat.
"Saved Li'er a piece of clothing?" Muhammad, who had been stunned, finally came back to his senses.
Gui Li was stunned when he heard this, and then remembered something and clenched his fists and didn't speak again.
Guichen explained to Mu that yesterday Ying Baoyue had pulled Guili away from the dirty water.
"That's right," Mu said, pressing his chest with a palpitation, and looked at Gui Likou, "then your eldest brother is right, if you are really splashed with your clothes from yesterday, you can't ask for it, you are not allowed to make any more trouble." ”
Gui Li took a deep breath and looked away from his head, and he could see that he was choking enough.
"Okay, let's go and change it on," Guichen frowned slightly as he looked at Ying Baoyue, who was holding his clothes and didn't move, and his heart suddenly became worried.
"You...... Don't like it? He still couldn't help but ask.
Doesn't it mean that women like new clothes?
Or is it ...... He didn't look good when he bought it?
Looking at Ying Baoyue, who was quietly staring at the new clothes in her hand, Guichen was a little remorseful, and he knew that he would have taken her with him......
"No," Ying Baoyue raised her head in the murderous gaze beside her, "I like it very much." ”
It's just that she is a little reluctant to go, and she actually needs more than clothes for her......
"Could it be...... Is there anything else you want? ”
Guichen looked at the girl's thoughtful eyes and sensed something.
It's also his carelessness, the woman needs a lot of things, and Guili pesters him to ask for this and that every time she rushes to the market, not to mention that she has nothing in the first place.
Compared with clothes, rouge gouache hair accessories or something are also a necessity for women......
"Brother!" Guili couldn't help it, and stared at the woman in front of him hatefully, "Don't ...... you"
"I do have something I want more." Ying Baoyue raised her head and said.
"You really ......" Guili is almost angry, this person is really a lion with a big mouth, isn't he trying to coax his brother to buy jewelry or something?
"Well, if it's not too expensive," for some reason, the woman offered to ask for something that made Guichen a little happy.
She had always seemed to have no desires, which made him think that this woman's request was a very new thing.
Guichen made up his mind, as long as it was not too expensive for his daughter's belongings, if she really wanted it, whether it was rouge or jewelry, he worked hard, and it was not impossible to buy it for her......
"What do you want?" Guichen looked at her and asked.
Mu and Guili were also a little nervous for a while.
Guili made up her mind that if this woman wanted to trick his brother into buying her jewelry, she would scold this unknown ......
"I want a sword."
Ying Baoyue looked up at Guichen Dao, afraid that he would misunderstand and add further.
"The kind that can kill."
……
……
The courtyard fell into a dead silence.
The golden sentence of the resignation choked in her throat.
The spoon in Muhammad's hand fell on the table with a thud.
