Chapter 224: Departure
"Otherwise, are you afraid that Xiaowan will be angry and leave you?" Lin Zhen said the words later.
"Xiao Wan will definitely ......," Guo Chengling said firmly.
"You know, why do you have to go?" Lin Zhen asked puzzledly, as if to persuade him, he said: "I can understand your thoughts, but don't you have to think about it, is it reliable?" It's just to hear others say this, if you don't say it's true, it's worth it to make Xiaowan angry for such an indefinite thing? ”
Guo Chengling thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "Dad, I don't think it's worth it. It's me a man, I have to do something for Xiaowan. She doesn't understand, but I think you can understand it, Dad. ”
Lin Zhen was embarrassed: "I understand that I understand, but ......"
He didn't say it, Xiaowan's child was no longer the child who listened to whatever he said. Since she also made up her mind not to let go, then sneaking away, isn't it like stabbing the sky?
He was just worried, and the two of them had a lot of trouble because of this.
Originally, it was a good thing for each other, but in the end, it was not good, and it was so unjust.
Guo Chengling still lowered his head and drilled the words, and after a long time, he looked up at Lin Zhen: "Dad, is it really not good?" ”
That unwilling and unyielding look, in Lin Zhen's eyes, was like a thorn that pricked his nerves. For a moment, he hesitated. I don't know if Guo Chengling should be let go like this.
He couldn't make up his mind, so he couldn't give Guo Chengling an answer.
Lin Zhen said: "Otherwise, wait for your mother to come back and ask her?" ”
Take out the pouch, stuff the tobacco leaves, light it, and take a puff.
Weng and his son-in-law were silent like this, one bowed his head to engrave, and the other raised his head to smoke.
Guo Chengling carved the remaining porcelain vase and put it back in the cloth pocket, and the two did not speak again. Liu hadn't come back yet, Guo Chengling got up, and was just about to tell Lin Zhen to go back first, when he heard laughter from outside.
Lin Zhen got up, tapped the cigarette pouch in the palm of his hand, and said, "I'm back." ”
Guo Chengling hurriedly went over to open the door, and when he saw Liu, he shouted, "Mother, I'm back." ”
"Chengling, why did you come here so early?" Liu asked. Seeing Guo Chengling, she was still a little strange, it was said that he was unlikely to come over so early. But he didn't think much about it, turned to the three students and said, "Okay, play and play, I'm going to start embroidering today." ”
The three of them responded, and then went back to the house with a smile.
Lin Zhen and Guo Chengling looked at Liu and looked at her a little uncomfortable. Although she is not so smart, with her understanding of Lin Zhen, she expected that she must have something to say, so she said directly: "There is something to say, why do the two of you keep looking at me." ”
Guo Chengling looked at Lin Zhen, which meant to say: Dad, you and your mother talk.
Lin Zhen also knew that Guo Chengling was embarrassed, so he told the Liu family about the matter. Just after finishing speaking, he said that Guo Chengling wanted to catch the fox, but he didn't say anything that Lin Xiaowan disagreed with.
Liu said casually: "If you want to go, you can go, wouldn't it be a good thing if you can catch it?" You don't have to tell me. ”
Guo Chengling said in his heart: Dad, you are too unreliable, and the most important thing is not to say.
Lin Zhen responded: "It's not to tell you this. ”
"Not to tell me this, what is that to say?" Liu asked puzzled.
Guo Chengling was anxious and interjected: "Mother, it's like this. Xiao Wan doesn't agree to let me try it now, but I still want to go. So I want you to help me persuade Xiaowan. ”
Liu Shi responded directly: "Yes, when Xiaowan gets up, I'll talk to her." ”
"No, mother......" Guo Chengling hesitated before saying, "Xiaowan has no possibility of changing her mind, and I don't want to delay, I plan to leave later." ”
"What?" Liu's voice immediately increased several times, and his eyes were full of surprise when he looked at Guo Chengling. She said, "Are you going to sneak away from Xiaowan?" Then when you come back, you may have to leave. ”
"That's what I thought too." Lin Zhen spoke.
Liu was angry and reprimanded Lin Zhen: "You think so too, why don't you persuade Chengling, ah?" ”
"I persuaded it, but it was useless." Lin Zhen said, and then inadvertently met Guo Chengling's gaze, and said, "I understand this child's thoughts, and in the final analysis, I also want to be good to Xiaowan." So you look at ......"
How could Liu not understand, but she also knew Lin Xiaowan's temperament.
Now the best thing to do is for the two to discuss, agree to anything, and disagree...... That's still not going to be easy.
Liu looked at Guo Chengling and asked, "Xiaowan is not worried about any danger you encounter?" Moreover, I also thought that your legs were inconvenient, and recently she was planning to give you a bone correction again, so she didn't want you to go? ”
Guo Chengling nodded: "That's what Xiaowan said." ”
"Speaking of which, it's not a problem." Liu sighed, "Hunting, no matter where you are, it is dangerous. Just like the last time you were injured. ”
"It doesn't have to be now. Speaking of which, Xiaowan still doesn't want you to go from the bottom of her heart, so she will come up with so many reasons to stop her. If you want me to say, that fox worth 10,000 taels is not something that ordinary people can catch, otherwise don't go? ”
Guo Chengling was still unwilling, he said: "Mother, I still want to go." ”
Such a firm tone made Liu a little shaken. As soon as she hesitated, Guo Chengling hurriedly said: "Mother, I just want to make more money, so Xiaowan doesn't have to work so hard." Otherwise, I feel like I'm a waste, like a drag. ”
When Liu Shi heard this, she felt uncomfortable, and she said angrily: "What did this kid say?" ”
"I can understand your thoughts, and I know that you want to be nice to Xiaowan. But you also have to think about Xiaowan, in case you ......"
"Phew, no case. It's ......"
Liu said and said, and he was entangled in his own words. I didn't know what to say, so I finally sighed and said, "Okay, you can go." Xiaowan, I'll go tell her. But I still advise you, it's best to discuss it with Xiaowan first. ”
"I'm afraid I won't be able to go once I discuss it." Guo Chengling was embarrassed.
Liu nodded, and didn't say anything more. Finally, he instructed: "Pay more attention to yourself, safety is the most important." If you go so far alone, you will always have no one to take care of you, and you will be in trouble if anything happens. ”
"Also, there are things to be aware of. I'm guilty of it, and I think you know that. If you are lucky enough to catch it, there will definitely be trouble blocking the way. Don't be ostentatious. ”
Liu's words were sincere, and Guo Chengling kept them in mind. He said sincerely: "Thank you, mother, I remember." That Xiaowan will trouble the second elder to make sense. I'll leave later, and try to go early and come back early. ”
"Okay, stay safe." Lin Zhen said.
Watching Guo Chengling leave, Liu sighed and said to Lin Zhen: "Alas, it's hard for this kid." ”
Of course, she can see how unwilling Guo Chengling is in her heart, and how many unspeakable grievances she has. That's why I agreed to help him. She knew that once a forbearant person could not bear it, the energy that burst out would be absolutely unimaginable.
Just like herself, she never thought she would become what she is now.
It's because I've endured it for too long, and once I break free from that bondage, I can't control it anymore.
Lin Zhen also said: "Yes, it's not easy for him. Wanwan, it's a bit strong. How can there be such a woman around her, it is normal for Chengling to be difficult to accept as a man. ”
When Guo Chengling came out, he didn't feel relaxed, but a little heavy.
Although the old couple promised to help persuade Lin Xiaowan, what kind of character is his wife, can he still not know? In the final analysis, he is just looking for some comfort, knowing that someone supports him, and his heart will be more reassuring.
If you want to say worried, he is worried all the time.
But he had to do it. He can't really rely on Lin Xiaowan like a wasted person, he is a man, even if his leg is lame, he is still a man who stands up to the sky. Lin Xiaowan said that she didn't care and wouldn't think so, but what about others? target
Give a dog a bad name and hang him.
He couldn't bear the whispers of others behind his back. Of course, he hoped that Lin Xiaowan could understand, but he didn't know how to say it.
Perhaps, this is also an opportunity?
Husbands and wives either respect each other as if they were guests, or they talk about each other. Otherwise, how can that happiness be maintained?
Guo Chengling thought that he could give in, but not everything can be like this. For example, this time, when it comes to his dignity as a man, it can only be so.
Thinking like this, Guo Chengling also became firm.
I went back and put down the porcelain bottle of ointment, went to the kitchen to make a simple breakfast, left a note on the table, picked up what I had prepared, and stepped out of the house.
The note reads: Xiaowan, the rice is in the pot. I went out and came back in a few days. I really hope you understand me.
Guo Chengling embarked on the journey in this way.
He went to find Feng Youcai, and it just so happened that he came out of the house. I asked for specific details and then we set off.
Feng Youcai asked him: "Your lady agrees with you to go?" ”
Guo Chengling smiled and did not answer. Then Feng Youcai advised: "Be careful yourself, I'll wait for your good news." ”
"Don't worry." Guo Chengling responded simply.
Walking on the road, Guo Chengling's heart gradually relaxed, he strode forward, walked to the town, and took the carriage to Lingchuan County. He asked the coachman: "Big brother, do you know how to go to Xishanlin when you get to Lingchuan County?" ”
"Xishan Forest?" The coachman thought for a moment and said, "It's still far away from Lingchuan." Your ride goes to the town of Hushan first, and then walks there. There are more than ten miles away. ”
When Guo Chengling heard this, he read: "Ten miles is fine, not too far." ”
The coachman shook his head: "Those ten miles are not ordinary roads, it is said that it is difficult to walk, ordinary people, they have to walk for a day." ”
Guo Chengling was slightly surprised, and what made him even more curious was how the coachman knew so much. He asked, "Dare to ask Big Brother, why are you so familiar with this?" ”
"Me? I go to Lingcheon every two days. I heard from them that there was a wild fox over there recently, and it was very valuable, so I asked a few more questions. The coachman said with a smile.
glanced at Guo Chengling's outfit again, and asked, "Brother is also going to catch that fox?" ”
