Chapter 117: Exhaustion
Cheng Mo walked out of the wooden shed where the Nangong clan lived lazily, exhausted, and didn't even want to speak.
Greeted the oncoming hot wind, and the hot fan with his sleeve to dispel the heat.
Looking at the busy, noisy and noisy crowd not far away, I went to see the land surrounded by a high wall on a hundred acres, and looked at it from a distance, as if I couldn't see the end.
I looked at the mountain opposite, the forest was lush, and I couldn't wait to be on par with the sky.
Cheng Mo was about to go to Ah Zhi to see what she was busy with, but before he was halfway there, Ji Huan, who ran in a hurry, blocked his way.
Ji Huan panted, hunched over to support his knees, and large pieces of sweat rolled down his forehead.
"Big brother," Ji Huan rested for a while, he wouldn't be out of breath anymore, and his reason for the future was clear, "Big brother, aren't you going to train personal guards?" ”
Cheng Mo was slightly stunned, as if there was such a thing, "What's wrong?" ”
"I have a friend who knows how to punch and kick, and now he is living on the streets begging for a living, and I want to help him!" Ji Huan's 1510 confided.
"Help him? Is he willing to do it himself? Cheng Mo asked rhetorically.
"This ......" was speechless for a while, Ji Huan disturbed the back of his head, and whispered timidly, "I don't know whether to accept my help for the time being, I really want to help him, I don't want to see him wander!" ”
Cheng Mo had a headache, pinched his eyebrows, exhaled heavily, and looked at Ji Huan with deep eyes, "How old is he?" ”
"Ten and a half years old, a person from Huizhou Mansion, surnamed Mu, and named Yiran," Ji Huan has already told Mu Yiran's family background, and his little face is full of anticipatory joy.
"I'll let Yu Qi take a look," Cheng Mo sighed secretly in his heart, these things shouldn't have been borne by him, but what identity and what to do, he was really tired and tired, and he didn't even have any freedom.
"Thank you, big brother," Ji Huan thanked him vigorously, greeted him with a smile, and couldn't wait to grin the corners of his mouth behind his ears.
Cheng Mo didn't want to hit people, and because he hadn't rested well in the past few days, he was sleepy, yawned slightly, and asked Ji Huan again, "Aren't you worried that he will take revenge?" ”
"I believe him," Ji Huan patted his chest, his face bursting with trust, "just like he helped me at that time." ”
"Well, I know," Cheng Mo smiled slightly, "Let's go play." ”
Today, he deliberately gave the two of them a half-day off, and stayed in the house all day long to read and write, and they were about to become nerds.
Ji Huan's star wished partially, and turned around with joy to find him, and Ji Chen, who had not yet taken a breath, walked to the pavilion where the sorghum cake was sprinkled.
Ji Chen was undecided, so he was dragged by his brother to the pavilion on the second floor, and he wanted to see the sorghum cake throwing.
Cheng Mo went back to the wooden shed to look for a long time, and there was not even a single figure, only then did he remember that Ah Zhi's family went to the street today to buy cloth and come back to make clothes for the summer.
Cheng Mo walked around alone, and unconsciously went to the pavilion by the river, and after sitting down, he looked at the center of the river for a long time, and when a gust of wind blew, there would be a layer of ripples.
There is another person who came here to avoid the heat and take a walk, and the moment he stepped into the pavilion in a daze, he suddenly realized, and hurriedly stretched out his outstretched feet, with an embarrassed and unbearable face.
Cheng Mo came back to his senses, naturally noticed him, and smiled faintly, "I haven't seen you for a long time, but it's good!" ”
The person who came was Jin Xixing, hearing such a greeting, his face was red and his ears were red, his old face was red for a while, green and white, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he barely showed a smile, "It's a big ......"
Brother, he didn't dare to say this word, because he didn't have the face to see him, so he turned around and left.
"If you can hide for a while, can you hide for a lifetime?"
Cheng Mo's cold tone came from behind him, as if he could burst his eardrums, and Jin Xixing's stiff body turned around, "I...... This ......"
After all, he was incoherent, and he had no face to see him, and he wanted to turn around and leave, but he couldn't move his feet, so he stood there stupidly.
"Let's talk about how I have felt in recent days," Cheng Mo spoke, his words were heavy, and his face changed slightly.
"This ......" Jin Xixing's face was full of embarrassment, no matter what he said, it was his own fault, a big mistake.
"Huh?" Cheng Mo's nasal voice dragged on, and he stared at Jin Xixing intently, "Half a moon has passed, don't you have anything to say?" ”
"I ......" Jin Xixing was resigned, he moved his stiff feet slightly, "I can't hide it, in recent days, I haven't thought about tea and dinner, and I can't sleep at night, so I dare not see you because I am helpless!" ”
Cheng Mo nodded vaguely, and gently rubbed the corners of his forehead with his fingers, "You are unwell, go get more meat, don't come when you are needed, look sick." ”
Hearing this, Jin Xixing's jaw almost fell to the ground in fright, "This ...... Have you forgiven me? ”
"When did I say I forgave you?" Cheng Mo pursed his lips provocatively and laughed, "Capital crimes can be avoided, living crimes cannot be escaped, and meritorious service is made for crimes." ”
Jin Xixing breathed a heavy sigh of relief, and said, where would he forgive so easily.
Guilty of meritorious service? He was a guilty man, so how did he come from?
"Thank you," this thank you stayed in his mind for a long time, Jin Xixing was about to speak, but when he saw that Cheng Mo had already left the pavilion, he shouted weakly, "Big brother, big brother ......"
Cheng Mo gradually drifted away, only one back was in the long and narrow shadow of the sun, and the shadow gradually disappeared.
Jin Xixing stood there, stunned, not walking, not walking.
Cheng Mo's mood was extremely complicated, bearing these major events that shouldn't have been him, and he had a headache, so he had to go home, enter the bedroom, and fall asleep.
But I can't sleep well, I can't sleep anymore, and the bamboo mat is slimy like a teppanyaki.
Cheng Mo walked out and almost collided with Yan Jixiang, Cheng Mo hurriedly turned around, and only then did he avoid the sudden Yan Jixiang.
"What do you do?" Cheng Mo asked lightly.
Yan Jixiang was also shocked, when he heard the footsteps coming back, when he arrived in the hall and saw that there was no one, he wanted to come and take a look, but where did he think of it, he was almost scared.
Yan Jixiang smiled lightly, "I'm copying Buddhist scriptures, I heard the sound of squirming footsteps, Jue'er and Li'er are not there, it must be you, come and ask if you have lunch?" ”
Yan Jixiang patted his heart, turned around and sat down in the circle chair, picked up the cold tea, and took a sip.
Cheng Mo quietly walked to the circle chair not far from her and sat down, sleepiness swept over, and looked at Yan Jixiang calmly, "If you're okay, I'll go rest for a while." ”
Seeing that he was about to get up and leave, Yan Jixiang hurriedly stopped him, "Something's wrong." ”
"You say," Cheng Mo rarely calls her mother, after all, blood relatives belong to blood relatives, and souls belong to souls, and it is still necessary to distinguish clearly when it is shouted and when it is not.
"Li'er, how much do you know about her?" Yan Jixiang was very disgusted that he was useless, he didn't know anything, and he couldn't even protect his daughter.
"I promised her, I can't tell you," Cheng Mo reaffirmed solemnly.
