Chapter 57: Let go
Su Jinyao knows that what Xiaocheng'er needs is a warm and harmonious home, but not a home where they quarrel all day long over trivial things or money.
Looking at the back of Xiaocheng'er entering the house, Su Jinyao let out a long sigh of relief. But I saw Sophie Er walking out of Su Xiangui's house, her face was full of tears, her eyelids were swollen from crying, and she looked quite pitiful.
Su Jinyao ignored Su Fei'er, got up and stretched her skirt, and turned around to go back to the house. He also closed the door with his hand.
Su Fei'er twitched her nose, and naturally saw that Su Jinyao ignored her. touched her hot cheek again, which was slapped by her father just now, and Sophie felt even more aggrieved.
Sophie turned her head, ran back to the house with tears in her eyes, and cried loudly on the kang.
It wasn't until Xiaocheng'er packed up the food on the ground and entered the house that he saw that Sophie had cried until she was tired and fell asleep. But a pair of legs were still hanging on the ground.
Xiao Cheng'er sighed, helped Sophie take off her shoes, and put her legs on the kang, then blew out the lamp and went to sleep on the kang.
Su Jinyao was lying in the room, listening to the silence outside, but she couldn't fall asleep over and over. Her heart was chaotic, but she wasn't really angry, so she couldn't figure out herself.
After turning over two more times, Su Jinyao felt that the air in the room was suffocating, so she simply sat up, put on her clothes and rolled her hair back, and pushed open the window behind her.
This back window faces the backyard, which is a short distance into the mountains. Su Jinyao wanted to let the wind blow on the mountain and boredom.
When the window opened, there was indeed a fresh mountain breeze blowing in, with a unique smell of grass and trees on the mountain.
Su Jinyao remembered what Xiao Cheng'er said before, the moon was very bright tonight, and there were many stars, so she raised her head and looked at the sky. Actually, Su Jinyao replied negatively just now that it was "cloudy", which was just casual talk. Looking at it now, I can see that there are indeed a lot of stars, but the moon has not yet been seen, but a white and soft light is emerging from the side of the mountain.
"Cut, this kid in Xiaocheng actually lied to me." Su Jinyao unconsciously put a smile on the corner of her mouth, and continued to look in the direction of the rising moon.
But as the moon rose, a slender, short, but beautiful figure suddenly appeared on the mountain. Then he went straight down at a rapid speed, moving quickly and lightly. Behind the man, the moon climbed little by little, as if the moonlight was moving with the man.
It wasn't until halfway up the mountain that the man stopped, and seemed to be sitting on a large rock, facing the ...... On your own side?
Su Jinyao was stunned, although the distance was a little farther, but judging from that figure, Su Jinyao knew that it was Cang Qianche. But when the moon is in the middle of the sky, shouldn't he sleep at his home in the bamboo forest in the mountain pass? Why did you come here?
Su Jinyao was curious and found it interesting. It happened to be a long night, and I remembered that this kid whispered his name in his ear before, which was quite a flirtatious girl. I simply lifted the window, jumped out of the window, and ran towards the mountain.
Cang Qianche sat on a stone, and his eyes naturally looked down the mountain in the direction of the moonlight. I saw the familiar thatched house and ...... A rear window that has been pushed open.
Cang Qianche was slightly stunned, and saw that the back window was open again, and a dry and thin figure jumped out of it, and it was actually running towards him. Look at that figure, isn't it a stupid girl or who?
For a moment, Cang Qianche's brain was a little confused, his heart was also "knocking", and his face was even more flushed and hot.
obviously saw that the stupid girl was running towards him, but Cang Qianche silently comforted herself in her heart: In the dead of night, I am doing a good job, and this stupid girl will not find me. She didn't come up the mountain to find me, didn't she ...... Uh-uh, it really is!
When Cang Qianche got up to leave, Su Jinyao had already reached ten steps away from him. Although there was still some distance, Su Jinyao had already smashed a stone casually, almost hitting the door of Cang Qianche's head.
"Silly girl, what are you doing?" Cang Qianche roared in a low voice and took two steps back, with a bit of anger in his eyes.
"It's fun." Su Jinyao picked up another stone and said casually.
Both of these stones were picked up by her when she first went up the mountain. The size of the egg, the fusiform shape, the weight and feel are good, and the beating is also very accurate. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a passing moment just now, it would have been a crooked hit.
"You play yours, I'm gone." Cang Qianche gritted his teeth, turned around and left.
"I wonder what you're looking at here?" After Su Jinyao finished speaking, without waiting for Cang Qianche to answer, she walked a few steps over and sat on the stone where Cang Qianche had sat just now.
Cang Qianche's eyes also moved with Su Jinyao's gaze, and he suddenly understood that the place Su Jinyao saw was the same as what he saw just now. The secret in his heart seemed to be exposed, and there was a feeling of being caught, which made him feel a fire in his heart.
As soon as he leaned over, Cang Qianche also picked up a stone from the ground, weighed it and threatened Su Jinyao: "I chose this place...... For practice. Go away, don't get in my way. Otherwise, the stone in my hand is not vegetarian. ”
"Don't eat vegetarian, still eat meat? I want to see how a stone eats meat. Why don't you let the two of them talk? Su Jinyao said, threw the stone in her hand directly, and threw it towards the stone in Cang Qianche's hand impartially.
Cang Qianche didn't expect this stupid girl's head to be so good, and she didn't have time to stop it, and the two stones "snapped" together, as if they were about to burst out with sparks.
"You...... It's unreasonable. Cang Qianche glared angrily, threw away the stone in his hand, and turned to leave.
"Cang Qianche, I just want to ask, what happened to the pill you gave me when you first came to my house?" Su Jinyao naturally hasn't forgotten that after she crossed over, the damage to her ribs was quite serious.
The two-hundred-and-five-year-old doctor Wang grafted his bones, which almost made Su Jinyao lose her breath in pain, but Su Jinyao endured the pain and straightened the bones and took them back.
If it hadn't been for Cang Qianche who gave him that pill, it is estimated that his fracture injury would not be so good by now. Either you still have a root cause, or you have to lie in bed all the time.
Hearing Su Jinyao's question, Cang Qianche really stopped. Turning his head to look at Su Jinyao, the pair of dark phoenix eyes were puzzled, and asked, "Do you remember?" ”
"Naturally, I remember. As soon as I opened my eyes, it was a glimpse. Su Jinyao smiled, her eyes swept around Cang Qianche's handsome face, which was quite teasing.
Cang Qianche was seen by Su Jinyao's explicit eyes, his face turned red again, he pursed his lips, and deliberately pretended not to care: "Actually, it's nothing to tell you, it's just a favor to return your mother's affection." When I was sick, your mother used this pill to revive me. I still have one, but it doesn't work for me to eat, so I'll just return it to you, which can be regarded as a reward for your mother. ”
Hearing Cang Qianche say this, Su Jinyao laughed "fluttering", "If you give me back my mother's things, will you repay your kindness?" I don't know if it's because there are too many cheap things in this world, or if your life is not worth anything in the first place. My mother saved you, so she expected you to give her her the pill back? Hehe......"
Su Jinyao smiled like this, and Cang Qianche's face turned even redder. I really feel that what Su Jinyao said makes sense.
Cang Qianche pursed his thin lips into a line, his eyebrows were twisted into pimples, and asked in a deep voice: "Then tell me, how can you repay the favor?" I, I don't have any money. ”
Su Jinyao pursed her mouth and said disdainfully: "Who said that repaying the money is considered to be a repayment?" In this way, you can teach me a few tricks of your kind of light skills, or martial arts. ”
In fact, Su Jinyao came out today just because she was bored. It just so happens that Cang Qianche, this kid is so good-looking, and his temperament is also stubborn and arrogant, which is very interesting, so he wants to tease him for no reason.
But having said that, Su Jinyao felt that it was a bit of a loss not to ask for some benefits, so she made such a practical request.
Cang Qianche widened his eyes, shook his head vigorously, and said, "That's not good." Don't say that my martial arts can't be passed on, just you stupid girl, why do you want to learn this? ”
After speaking, Cang Qianche seemed to suddenly remember something, looked Su Jinyao up and down, and then said, "But, you stupid girl is actually quite powerful." I dare to pack the ticket, no one in the entire Pingshan Village, from old to young, has been able to go through three moves under my hands. But you were able to make a draw with me. ”
Draw! Su Jinyao really wanted to roll her eyes at him, and said secretly in her heart: If I can recover half of the level of being a killer before, it will definitely not be a problem to knock you down within ten moves.
However, Su Jinyao couldn't help but sigh at the sky, after all, she is now an eleven-year-old girl, and the life she has again is quite happy, and there is really no need to reminisce about the past.
Seeing that Su Jinyao didn't speak, Cang Qianche thought that he had made her angry by saying that he wouldn't teach her kung fu, but he was inexplicably a little flustered. Busy road; "It's not that I don't teach, it's that my uncle said that my martial arts can't be passed on. Besides, you are a girl's family, how good it is to stay well in the village, what are you doing with these fights and kills? ”
"Hmm." Su Jinyao casually agreed, and then asked, "Then why are you not tall?" Is it sick, or is it too picky eater? ”
Su Jinyao looked at Cang Qianche's appearance, and initially thought that he should be eleven or twelve years old, about the same as his current self, but he was shorter than himself, which was similar to Xiaocheng'er's height.
But after a few contacts, Su Jinyao found that although Cang Qianche had a strange temper, he felt that he should be more than eleven or twelve years old, at least thirteen or four?
That is, he felt that Cang Qianche's performance was too incommensurate with his appearance, so Su Jinyao asked casually. In fact, I don't have the heart to explore other people's secrets, but I just feel curious.
Unexpectedly, Su Jinyao asked this sentence, Cang Qianche squinted her eyes and stared at Su Jinyao tightly for a long time, and then suddenly sneered, and said in a deep voice: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, you can live longer." ”
Cang Qianche's cold eyes and explosive momentum turned out to be quite majestic, far from what a little boy should look like.
Su Jinyao is no stranger to this kind of momentum, and she also has a similar feeling from that tall father. But the difference is that Daddy Gao's momentum is called evil energy, which is a feeling that only people who come over in the bloody rain and bloody wind.
And Cang Qianche is a kind of domineering in the world, with a sense of non-anger and awe-inspiring momentum, just like a group of everyone's demeanor.
Taking advantage of Su Jinyao's stunned efforts, Cang Qianche jumped out a few steps and said to Su Jinyao: "If you see me in the future, I will treat it as if I didn't see it." Don't even call me by name. After speaking, Cang Qianche's figure was longitudinal, and it was far away. After a few more ups and downs, it disappeared beyond the clear and soft moonlight.
Su Jinyao frowned, she trusted her instincts, and her instincts reminded her at this time that Cang Qianche's warning was right. If you don't have to, don't contact him.
Su Jinyao returned to the house, closed the window with her hand, and covered the window with the torn clothes again, and then stripped and lay down.
But because I didn't take a bath tonight, I felt uncomfortable, so I had to get up again and wash my face and hands with cold water in the yard at night. Finally, he took off his shoes and socks and stepped his feet into the tub. The cold water soaked the soles of the feet, and the feeling of being cold was really comfortable.
The moonlight was clear and the water was clear, Su Jinyao couldn't help but spread her hair out, closed her eyes and inhaled, feeling the clarity and depression unique to the mountains. It's not silent, because the insects and finches on the mountain occasionally make a slight "chirping" sound. But with the mountain wind surrounding, the majesty and majesty of the mountain can make people's hearts more solemn.
But Su Jinyao didn't know that on the hillside not far away, a figure behind a big tree quietly appeared, looking at the quiet and soft shadow in the moonlight, and the pair of snow-white feet stepping on the basin, she couldn't help but murmur: "What a strange silly girl." ”
With that, the figure leaped away. He didn't want to admit that he was worried that it would not be safe for this stupid girl to stay alone on the mountain at night, and he had to secretly watch her go back before he could relax. But I didn't expect to see her so soft and delicate side.
Su Jinyao soaked comfortably, so she came out of the basin and wiped her feet clean. He washed the wooden basin again, washed and dried all the underwear he had changed before, and then went back to the house to sleep.
slept until dawn this night, and Su Jinyao was woken up by Xiao Cheng'er pinching her nose.
Xiao Cheng'er hurriedly said to Su Jinyao: "Second sister, aren't you going to the town?" The carriage in Ning'an Town is not available in a day. If you miss the hour, you'll have to go back tomorrow. ”
"Ah, I overslept." Su Jinyao hurriedly got up and put on her clothes, grabbed her hair casually, put on her shoes and walked out.
Xiao Cheng'er followed behind Su Jinyao and said with a joke: "The second sister is the laziest, it was like this in the past, and it is still now." ”
"Go, little brat." Su Jinyao deliberately pushed Xiao Cheng'er and said hurriedly: "Have you loaded the mushrooms on the shelf for me?" Bring me some more water, little city, why didn't you call me earlier? ”
"The mushrooms are loaded, the water is loaded, here." Xiao Cheng'er smiled and picked up a two-section bamboo tube from the side, stuffed it into Su Jinyao's hand and said, "Here you go, the spring is clear and bamboo." ”
Su Jinyao glared at Xiao Cheng'er, but found that Xiao Cheng'er had carefully punched a hole at each end of each of the two bamboo tubes, which had been tied with a rope. This way, you can wear it cross-body behind your back without affecting what you are carrying.
Su Jinyao pursed her lips and smiled, reached out and pinched the tip of Xiao Cheng'er's nose, and said, "I know that my brother is the best, thank you." ”
"Family, thank you. The eldest sister is making breakfast, let's eat and then leave. Xiao Cheng'er pointed to the kitchen, and quietly stuck out his tongue at Su Jinyao.
Su Jinyao understood that this was Xiaocheng'er's intention to reconcile with Sophie.
But Su Jinyao still had some pimples in her heart, and she didn't want to talk to Sophie at this time. He simply put the bamboo tube behind him and said to Xiaocheng'er: "It's too late to eat, hand me the mushrooms, hurry up and get on the road." The first time I went to Xiaozhang Village, I didn't know if I could get there before the carriage left. If it's really late, it's a wasted trip. ”
Xiao Cheng'er pulled Su Jinyao's sleeve and wanted to say something. But Su Jinyao touched Xiao Cheng'er's head and shook her head slightly.
Xiao Cheng'er is very smart and understanding, seeing Su Jinyao like this means that she is embarrassed, so she let go of Su Jinyao's sleeve. said: "Then second sister, hurry up, I'll just go and talk to my father." Don't worry on the road, your legs hurt if you walk too fast. When you get to town, buy a steamed bun or a bun to eat. ”
"Well, okay. I know. Xiaocheng'er, you are only nine years old, not ninety, how can you look like an old man. Our dad is not as wordy as you. After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she waved her hand at Xiaocheng'er, carried two baskets of mushrooms and left.
The two baskets of mushrooms were not too full, and it was not tiring to carry them. Go fast and don't worry about spilling. Thanks to asking Xiaocheng'er for the way yesterday, otherwise if he went to find the way again, he would have delayed his efforts again.
As he was walking, he saw Chen Wuniu coming over. When Chen Wuniu saw that it was Su Jinyao, he greeted him with a smile; "Jinyao, where are you going? Why are you in a hurry early in the morning. ”
"Brother Wu Niu, I went to Ning'an Town, I got up late, I'm afraid I won't be able to catch the car." Su Jinyao didn't mean to stop when she spoke.
First, she was really anxious, afraid that she would not be able to catch up with the carriage. After all, there were no clocks and watches in ancient times, and they all counted the hours by looking at the sun, which may be a little earlier or a little later. It's okay to say that the carriage is late, but if it is early, you will really run in vain.
Second, Su Jinyao could have seen Sophie's mind a little more clearly yesterday. Although the two of them made a lot of trouble and made a move, after all, they are still a family behind closed doors, and they are still sisters now, Su Jinyao has no heart to be involved with Chen Wuniu.
Seeing that Su Jinyao didn't even have the time to stop talking, Chen Wuniu turned around and walked a few steps to keep up with Su Jinyao, reached out to pick up the basket in her hand, and said, "Since you are in a hurry, then I'll send you over." You walk with two baskets, but it's not convenient. ”
"Huh? No, it's not very heavy, it's just dried mushrooms. Su Jinyao refused to let go, and she didn't want Chen Wuniu to send it. How happy she walks by herself, with multiple people and multiple mouths, she doesn't have the heart to chat with people.
Chen Wuniu refused to let go, and even grabbed Su Jinyao's wrist with his other hand, as if he wanted to snatch the basket from her hand.
