CHAPTER XV—The Exodus

Since Cheerilee learned about her life experience, her speech and behavior have been a little weird in the past few days, and she doesn't like to smile when she is as lively and agile as a colorful butterfly on weekdays, and there is always a cloud of sadness hanging on her face, which will not disappear for a long time.

People also noticed that the food she cooked, which was particularly sweet on weekdays, was not sweet, but slightly bitter. Lan Yi carefully noticed that it was Cheerilee who was secretly shedding tears when cooking, and the bitter tears fell into the rice, and the cooked rice inevitably tasted a little bitter.

Lan Yi wanted to ask Cheerilee what was wrong with her, but she couldn't open her mouth. But within a few days, he and Mo Dai knew the truth.

The mother called Lan Yi and said to him, "Lan Yi, I don't want to hide it from you, you have also noticed the strange appearance of Li'er recently." ”

"Yes, aunt." Lan Yi's thinking was a little sluggish, he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Che Mu's gourd.

"Actually, Cheerilee, she was not born to me and your uncle's father, she was an abandoned baby that Yue'er picked up at the door of her house twenty years ago." Speaking of this, the mother raised her hand and wiped away a handful of tears, "As for why you told you, you should also know in your heart that we have only recently discovered that the person Yue'er likes has always been Li'er, and as for who Li'er likes and who she will choose, we don't know." ”

"Why are you telling me this?" Lan Yi was shocked but still skeptical.

"Because everyone can see that you like Cheerilee very much, I don't want Yue'er to force herself to hide her feelings because of her brother's identity, and I don't want to favor Yue'er because you are a foreigner."

"So the aunt means ......"

Che Mu coughed a few times: "Let you and Yue'er compete fairly." ”

And Mo Dai was also called away by Father Che before, presumably Uncle Che also told Mo Dai about it, looking at Mo Dai's expression at this moment, her mood seemed to fluctuate only a little, thinking that a smart woman like her should have guessed one or two a long time ago and was mentally prepared.

"I'm really stupid, although I expected that my brother would have different feelings for Cheerilee, but I still didn't guess that they were so close and not related by blood on weekdays." Admittedly, Mo Dai also miscalculated. On that day, she broke the crockpot containing herbs at the door, and it was Mo Dai who saw Che Yuechi kissing the sleeping cherilee, and she faintly realized that there must be a big mystery in it from that day, and it was not until today that the mystery was solved.

Che Yuechi has become more and more presumptuous these days, but because he is still immature, everyone indulges him and allows him to smash bowls and smash the bench all day long. Because Che Yuechi was always clamoring to marry Cheerilee, everyone asked Cheerilee to stay away from Che Yuechi, and Cheerilee also intended to avoid her brother, and Che Yuechi recently launched a madness for no reason.

Just when the Che family was at a loss, Che's father went to Lanzhuang, his purpose this time was to go to Renji Hall to get medicine for Che Yuechi, he couldn't trust Lan Yi anymore, so he had to grab the medicine himself.

Walking and walking, I saw a group of people talking about something around a person, and the father squeezed his head into the crowd to see that it was a charlatan who was telling fortunes.

But no, a woman next to her said that her mother-in-law lost her mind yesterday and took a packet of powdered medicine given by the warlock, and immediately stopped going crazy and recovered her mind. Another young man said that his two-year-old daughter suddenly contracted hives, and the big hospitals in the provincial capital could not cure it, but she soaked in the herbs given by the warlock, and she was cured in a few days.

There are also people on the left and right of the Che Father, who are scrambling to ask the warlock to tell the fortune, who is sacred, and then spend money to ask for a panacea, the old man Che didn't believe it at first, where is there such a god? But listening to it, he couldn't stand the agitation of the people around him, and he began to believe.

So the father told the ins and outs of his son's illness to the warlock. The warlock said, "I can heal your son." ”

Father Che was overjoyed: "Dare to ask who is the master's surname?" ”

"Don't count as a master, call me Master Sun." Master Sun took off the shabby hat on his head, took off the hat during the conversation with the father, patted the ash on his head, and revealed his gray hair.

"But what have been the recent changes in the family's population?" Master Sun straightened his sleeves again and asked casually.

"Demographic change? I don't know what the master meant. "The father was at a loss.

"It's whether anyone has come in or run away."

"Oh, yes, our family saved a stranger a few months ago." Father Che told Master Sun the truth.

"That's right, it's this foreigner's life that is hard, and it hinders your son-in-law's luck." Master Sun said and picked his teeth with a bamboo stick, "You have to take him away, so that your son can be saved." ”

"What can I say, my house has been a mess since he came. Master, I listen to you, and I will drive him away when I get home. At this moment, Master Che was obedient to Master Sun, "However, that kid is also pitiful, he has lost his memory, if he is driven away, where will he go?" ”

"Don't worry, it's okay for me to go and see the situation, but I have to pay some more money, and I will be able to resolve the entanglement between the two of them." Master Sun said and looked at Father Che with a pair of eyes the size of mung beans, and his eyes shone greedily.

"This ......" Thinking that Lan Yi also knelt down for himself, and also looked at a lot of his face, the father decided to pay for Lan Yi with all his heart.

Master Sun, who took the money, smiled, took it in his hand, dipped it in saliva and counted it, and stuffed the money into his pocket with satisfaction.

"Take me to see your lost son." Master Sun then cut to the point, "Everyone, I'm going to go to see this old man, I'll take it first, and you will come to me tomorrow." Then he glanced at a few people around him and coughed. The people around him were still crowded one after another, but now they are all scattered in all directions, and there is no trace.

When he arrived at the small fishing village, Master Sun swaggered to the hall and sat down, as if this was his home, and the father hurriedly made a cup of fine Biluo Chunlai for Master Sun.

Master Mo also happened to come to Che's father's house and asked, "Who is this?" ”

Father Che pulled Master Mo aside and whispered mysteriously, "This is a capable person!" According to this master, he can know the heavens and know everyone's lifeline, and he is a living Hua Tuo! ”

"What is the reincarnation of Hua Tuo, isn't the reincarnation of Hua Tuo right in front of you, old car, I don't think he looks like a good person, he should be a magic stick." Master Mo chattered.

As if sensing that Master Mo was saying bad things about himself, Master Sun walked up to Master Mo and explained the situation of Che Yuechi clearly, leaving Master Mo speechless.

Cheerilee, who was doing farm work outside, walked in, and saw the delicate and lovely cherry, Master Sun praised this is a stunning person, if this woman marries the stupid son of the old man Che's mindless Chong Chongxi, maybe Che Yuechi's illness will be fine.

Master Mo said: "Isn't this a mandarin duck line?!" ”

"Oh, Lao Mo, don't say a few words, don't upset the master."

"Lao Che, you can't listen to him, he's talking nonsense, how can my brother marry my sister?"

"I don't think this girl should be the sister of the boy." Master Sun closed his eyes and smiled slightly.

Father Che told Master Mo about the cherry again. "I see, why didn't you tell me earlier?" But Master Mo is still very wary of this unknown Master Sun.

When Cheerilee heard Master Sun say that she wanted to marry her brother, although she was reluctant to do so, she couldn't express it immediately. After sending off Master Sun, who was full of wine and food, the father and the mother were discussing the matter of giving their son joy to the car in the evening, and this matter was heard by Lan Yi.

Lan Yi didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, so he pulled Cheerilee and asked, "Does uncle and aunt really want you to marry Senior Brother Yuechi Chongxi?" In the morning, my aunt also asked me to compete fairly with Senior Brother Yuechi, how can I change my mind now? Isn't this an old custom, what age is this?! ”

Cheerilee had tears in her eyes, but she tried her best to suppress her emotions and said something insincere: "Lan Yi, don't be delusional, I won't like you, I've always liked my brother since I was a child." ”

"But, didn't you just learn that you were adopted recently?" Lan Yi was about to go crazy when she heard Cheerilee say that the person she liked was not herself but her brother.

"It's because I only learned recently that I realized that what I like for so many years is my brother, we are not brothers and sisters, and we are not related by blood, why can't we be together?" When Cheerilee thought of the Che family's nurturing kindness to her and her brother's care for her for 20 years, she couldn't bear to break their hearts, but she broke the heart of a person who moved her own heart.

"Why, don't you know that I like you too? You must be unscrupulous, duplicitous, you like me, right, Cheerilee. Lan Yi held Cheerilee's shoulders firmly with both hands, and his hands locked Cheerilee firmly like pliers, for fear that Cheerilee would run away from him.

"Don't be sentimental, I don't like you, I only like my brother from beginning to end, you can let it go." Cheerilee struggled desperately, trying to break free from Lan Yi's embrace.

Unexpectedly, Lan Yi wrapped Cheerilee in his arms, making her unable to move, and then his lips violently pressed against Cheerilee's lips, he kissed Cheerilee frantically and fiercely, Cheerilee bit Lan Yi's lip with her teeth while shedding tears, until the corners of Lan Yi's mouth oozed blood, and then stopped kissing almost crazy.

"Lan Yi, you're crazy!" Cheerilee thumped Lan Yi's chest with her hand.

"It's not that I'm crazy, it's you! In order to repay the favor, even oneself has to be sacrificed. Lan Yi said and hugged Cheerilee deep into her arms again. He rubbed her right hand hard against Cheerilee's soft hair, his tears dripping between the hairs, and although the two people who loved each other embraced, they couldn't accept each other.

"Come with me, Cheerilee, let's get out of here, find a place where it's just the two of us, and we'll be together forever."

"You're so selfish." Cheerilee pushed Lan Yi away, slapped him hard in the face, and then turned around and left crying. Lan Yi, who was left with a hot face, stood in place stupidly.

Lan Yi, who covered his face that night, was hesitant and helpless, he didn't sleep all night, ran to the river beach, desperately splashed himself with ice water, and the moonlight gently caressed this psychologically damaged young man.

He fell to his knees again with a puff, and though the pebbles under his knees were so unscrupulous, and the man's knees were a thousand taels of gold, he had never knelt to the ground, he had once knelt for his benefactor who was seriously ill in bed, and now he had knelt for the red rose in his heart. The same cherry, in Che Yuechi's heart is white moonlight, and in Lan Yi's heart is red roses.

He couldn't help but roar into the sky: "Why? Why take away my loved ones? Lan Yi's head began to hurt again, "I once stepped on the moon and came here because you were in the mountains. The words began to appear in my ears over and over again, and the beautiful woman's face began to appear again, "Who the hell is she?" Tell me! ”

The dark night encompasses everything, the evening wind blows the frustrated man, he is depressed, and the frog walks alone. When he came to the gate of Che's house, he heard the voice of the Che's father floating out of the crack in the door: "It's all because of this Lan Yi, it's a hindrance to our family's Yue'er, even Master Sun said that he hit the lone star, and it cost me a lot of votes to relieve him, if it weren't for his pity, otherwise he would have been swept out of the house a long time ago." ”

"Shhhh The mother made a silent gesture and looked out the window, "You can't say that. ”

"What I'm saying is true."

Hearing the words of the father, Lan Yi, who was already discouraged, immediately felt like a basin of cold water was poured on him, he suddenly felt that he couldn't stay in this home, it turned out that in the eyes of the father, he didn't regard him as a godson at all, but as a bad star.

That night, Lan Yi packed up his baggage and prepared to leave Che's house, thinking that the burden was also Che's, and even the burden was unloaded without a belt, and as soon as he walked out of the Che's door, he remembered the cherry that made him want to rub it into his bone marrow to love, so he walked back, took out a silver bracelet he took and put it on the table, and wrote a farewell note: "Cheerilee, see the words like face......
