Although she didn't want to admit it, Zhang Youtao still saw disgust in Daddy Zhang's eyes, and in the gossip of these days, Daddy Zhang's eyes were getting colder and colder day by day. Over time, there was a little more resentment.

Zhang Youtao had a faint sense of crisis in her heart, obviously that day was not far away.

Following.

I don't know what rumors came out of the outside, Daddy Zhang came back from the field and just walked to the door and pointed at her and scolded, "Bastard, I don't listen to what is going on outside, so that Bai Ning can't say anything about the girl, how embarrassed are you......"

At first, I will feel sad once or twice, and it will not be a big deal if I listen to it too much, but I will still be irritable.

Ji Yu, who was teasing cats and dogs all day long, suddenly appeared on the wall, holding a palm-sized stone in his hand and throwing it to play, squinting his eyes, with a just right smile on the corner of his mouth, "Old man, what did you say?" ”

Daddy Zhang, who was scolding, was suddenly dumbfounded, and his blood-rushing pupils looked straight at Ji Yu hanging on the earthen wall, looking surprised.

Father Zhang glanced at Zhang Youtao, and roared in a blatant manner, "Lao Tzu needs you to intervene in disciplining his daughter!" ”

Until now, Daddy Zhang didn't know the details of Ji Yu, thinking that he was just a little maid, so he was naturally not afraid and spoke with confidence.

Ji Yu has never been a good-tempered person, and threw the stone in his hand directly, but the target was not Daddy Zhang, but the wooden door behind him.

For a while, there was a strange atmosphere in the air, no one spoke, and Daddy Zhang, who was still angry just now, returned to the house honestly.

Ji Yufei jumped up from the earthen wall, tiptoe to the ground, "You don't want to stay here any longer, do you?" ”

Zhang Youtao half-tilted her head and sighed, she was so fucking tired, even if she hid in a small village in the backwoods, she still couldn't stay away from gossip.

When she first arrived, she refused to marry alone, even if she was spurned by everyone, she had never been so tired, but she was really old and had little ability to bear it.

"Let's go!" Looking at the swallows flying in the distance, winter is coming.

Zhang Youtao knew that Daddy Zhang didn't want to see her, so she didn't bother herself.

On the hillside.

Zhang Boning stood behind her, his eyes were very light, "You're leaving?" There was no surprise in his words, as if he had already guessed it.

Zhang Youtao bowed, "Well, there is silver money in the cabinet in my room, and after I leave, you will take it out and give it to your father, he is not in good health, you have to think more about it on weekdays......"

"When will you be back?" Zhang Baining interrupted her suddenly.

She was dumbfounded, swallowed the rest of the words into her stomach, and asked, "How do you know when you will return if you haven't left yet?" ”

Whether she can come back also depends on fate, if fate is not enough, she may never come back, she is also a human being, and she will be sad when she listens to those gossips, since she has left, why should she go back to sadness?

As she originally thought, she was going to stay here for a while, but she didn't stay for ten days and got into trouble, I'm afraid that if she continues to stay, those gossips can make Daddy Zhang angry to death.

Think about it or forget it, she didn't kill Bozhong, but Bozhong died because of her. The world is so big, there is always a place for her, why bother living here and entanglement.

"Actually, I didn't go to the capital to look for you for fame and fortune, I ......" Halfway through the explanation, he didn't continue, Zhang Baining licked the corners of his mouth, and his tanned face was faintly dark at the moment, and his current emotions could not be seen.

After not hearing a response for a long time, Zhang Baining wiped the corners of his mouth and turned to leave.

The fallen leaves fell badly, Ji Yu jumped down from the crooked-necked tree, pointed his toes on the ground, glanced at the back that had gone away, and sneered, "You don't really believe what he said, do you!" ”

When Zhang Youtao was arrested in the capital, this guy ran away overnight, for fear of disaster to Yangchi, and that virtue made them disgusting.

"People don't destroy heaven and earth for their own sake, as it should be." Zhang Youtao's voice was originally light, but it was blown away by the wind, and when it fell into Ji Yu's ears, she thought it was an auditory hallucination.

When night fell, the blue sky was full of nebulae, usually the villagers had rested early at this time, and I don't know why today, Zhang Youtao saw that the road in the village was full of people when she went down the mountain.

"That's her! Got married, neither chose a date nor paid six rites, and now it is miserable to be abandoned. ”

"It's not good to be heard without saying a few words, people are already very pitiful."

……

These idle rumors were blown into the ears by the wind, Zhang Youtao walked back to Zhang's house indifferently, looking at the house from the door The lights were bright, and a group of villagers outside the door looked strange.

As soon as she entered the door, Zhang Youtao turned around and closed the wooden door, and the villagers who wanted to see rare objects looked dazed, mixed with a few "not rare" and gradually dispersed.

In the bright hall room, Father Zhang sat on a wooden bench, his face was pale, but there was no one else.

The candlelight leaking into the room was blown by the wind, and the atmosphere in the quiet hall gradually became strange. Jing Ai Books

Zhang Youtao sat opposite Daddy Zhang, looking at the charcoal fire slowly burning under her feet, "Dad, but do you have something to tell me?" ”

Since she took the money for the family, the life of the family has become better and better, and the clothes on Daddy Zhang's body are all new, although the fabric is generally the first in the entire Zhangjia Village, which is enviable!

Rely on!

The cigarette pouch leaned on the brazier a few times, the ash fell out, and I don't know where Daddy Zhang got the cigarette roll and stuffed it in, so he lit it in the brazier, and smoked it with a horn, and the smoke was filled.

The air around her became unpleasant, Zhang Youtao lowered her head, she didn't want to stay here, and said bluntly: "If my father doesn't have anything to tell me, I'll go back to the house first." ”

Without waiting for her to make a move, Daddy Zhang spoke, with a hoarse voice in his throat, "I heard Bai Ning say that you want to leave." ”

Zhang Youtao sneered, this time it was really not that she wanted to leave, but in the current situation, can she not leave? She can ignore what outsiders say, but what she can't stand is that her family chatters all day long, as if she has committed a great sin.

When it comes to this, it's useless to say more, "Hmm." ”

Daddy Zhang looked at her for a long time, let the cigarette in his hand burn out, his eyes gradually dimmed, and patted his thigh, "I don't know how many years I have to live with this old bone." ”

Zhang Youtao didn't know what he said suddenly, birth, old age, sickness and death are normal, not to mention that even if she doesn't die, it will be difficult to meet again, and it is enough for people to break their hearts once.

Seeing that she was unmoved, Father Zhang's tone became even more sad, "I'm old, I don't have a few years to live, I don't know if you can see him when you leave, I know that he is going to fight, but the people in the village can't believe it!" ”

After hearing this, Zhang Youtao understood, Daddy Zhang wanted her to leave, as long as she left, all these gossips were scattered, and the Zhang family did not need to face the strange eyes of others, and those villagers would still have to envy their family in the future.

"I know." Zhang Youtao couldn't tell what she felt in her heart, as if she was not surprised at all as expected, and even her heartbeat had not changed.

The two of them were silent in unison, sitting opposite each other, their eyes fixed on the coal fire under their feet.

After a long time, Father Zhang sighed, "It's time to go to school after the opening of the New Year's School, and Bai Ning has also reached the age of marrying a wife and having children, I am afraid that this house will not be able to live in it by then, and I need to build a few more rooms, so as not to give birth to ......children in the future."

He chattered, the more Zhang Youtao listened, the more she felt that something was wrong, it was useless to tell her! After all, she was about to leave, and these things should be told to the people who stayed at home.

It was late at night, and Daddy Zhang still didn't have the posture to stop.

Zhang Youtao thought about leaving late at night, and yawned, "Dad, if there is nothing else, I will go to sleep first." ”

"Wait!" Daddy Zhang's tone was tinged with eagerness.

Zhang Youtao stared at him and asked with her eyes what else was going on? I haven't talked about this for a long time, so what else can I say.

Daddy Zhang seemed to be a little embarrassed to speak, and his sunken pupils were dodging.

As the saying goes: people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants.

Zhang Youtao probably understood Daddy Zhang's embarrassment now, but she didn't want to give him this step, and her dark eyes were not shocked, "If Dad still has something to say, just say it, I'm sleepy." ”

She said this in a very soft voice, so light that it was easy to have fantasies.

Father Zhang lowered his head, his rickety back was already old, "There is not much money left for the family last time, and I am afraid that there are too many things to buy at the beginning of the year."

"Huh!" Zhang Youtao couldn't hold back, and laughed directly, with sarcasm on the corner of her mouth, and her tone was mean, "What does it have to do with me if Zhang Boning wants to get married?" Xiaoliu is not my son, he goes to school, do I have to take care of it? ”

"You!" Xu didn't expect her attitude to be so bad, Daddy Zhang paused for a few moments, and his face was flushed when he reacted, and he didn't know whether he was angry or ashamed.

Zhang Youtao looked at him indifferently, "Originally, I was going to leave a hundred taels of silver for the family, but now it seems that there is no need." With that, she got up and walked away.

The last sentence was the straw that overwhelmed Daddy Zhang, he opened his mouth dumbly, stretched out his hand to keep but didn't know what to say, tears flowed down his face, and his eyes were full of endless remorse.

Zhang Youtao returned to the room angrily, took out the money bag that had been placed from the cabinet, threw it on the bed, and slowly calmed down the anger in her heart. Although she has long known that in Daddy Zhang's heart, her son is more important than her daughter, she will still be tired when she experiences it again.

Ji Yu had already changed into his night clothes, tied his hair, and was simple and neat, "When will you leave?" ”

Zhang Youtao rubbed her eyebrows, "Now." ”

She took out a set of night clothes from her baggage, changed them neatly, hesitated for a few moments before leaving, threw the money bag on the wooden table, and strode away, never looking back.

Two figures crossed the vast field, and the horses ran freely like the wind.

"Phew~"

Seeing that the sky was torn apart, Zhang Youtao tightened the reins, forcing the galloping horse to stop, she took out the map from behind her and looked at it a few times, and compared it with the situation in front of her, the more she looked at it, the more strange she felt.

"What's wrong?" Ji Yu, who had already run, rode back again to ask.
