Just after the fifth watch, Qiao Ping yawned and got up to buy breakfast. As soon as he opened the door of the shop, he saw a thief with a big bow on his back and pried the window, so frightened that he threw the sea bowl, picked up the latch stick and hit the black shadow in front of him.

"Big brother, it's me!"

Qiao An dodged and dodged, bent down to pick up the sea bowl that fell aside: "I heard that something happened to the shop, and the county magistrate directly ordered the officials to kidnap Zhao Langzhong and star fruit?" ”

"Who did you listen to?" Qiao Ping put the latch stick anew, and looked at the quiver that Qiao An was carrying, as well as the horn bow that was not used for a major event: "This bow is for the ancestral hall, how did you get it?" ”

Following Qiao Ping's gaze, Qiao An also glanced at the big bow on his shoulder: "Stole it!" ”

Seeing that Qiao Ping was about to go crazy, he took the preemptive action: "The county master has to be reasonable no matter how official he is, right?" If you can't cure the disease, you have to kill people, when my doctors are all immortals? ”

"Do you really care about the shop? Then why aren't you in a hurry when the last time the stock was out of stock and almost closed, last year Zhao Langzhong was detained by the rich man Xiao for half a month, where are you? ”

Qiao Ping's already serious face darkened, and he glared at Qiao An fiercely, just like that, his face full of dissatisfaction and questioning.

"It's you who won't let me take care of the shop!"

"Then why are you bothering this time? My family never tells you about the shop, how did you get the news? Joan, do you read your book anymore? ”

Qiao Ping hurriedly stepped forward to pull the quiver and big bow on his back: "The big bow that fought the tiger has been stolen out, and for the sake of a girl, are you planning to make a big fuss about the county government?" ”

Qiao An, who was sideways to dodge Qiao Ping's hand, frowned at him tightly: "What about star fruit, what happened to her?"

"Joan!"

"Really caught?"

"What if you are caught? What can you do? ”

Qiao An pursed her lips, glanced at his brother and left: "I'll go to the county master to reason!" ”

Carrying a quiver and a big bow to the county government to reason?

Qiao Ping stomped his feet angrily: "Qiao An, do you know what you are doing?" ”

"For the sake of a girl, you don't even care about the lives of our family?"

"Joan!"

Qiao An paused for a moment, he pursed his lower lip tightly, and finally held back and didn't look back: "Big brother, don't worry, I will never bother you." Also, what I did has nothing to do with the Yang family, don't go to the trouble of the Yang family. ”

He walked away and strode forward. Qiao Ping looked at his angry back, stomped his feet and shouted: "Carambola is fine, she will come to work at the beginning of the year, I don't believe you wait and see." ”

Joan looked back at him: "Really? ”

"I'm not human to lie to you!" Qiao Ping wanted to slap him, but his hands itched for a long time and he couldn't fight. He looked at the black blue under his eyes, and reached out and grabbed the quiver and the big bow: "Go in and rest for a while, I'll go buy food." ”

"I'll go too, and you can tell me what's going on on the way."

"Go back to sleep, look at your face, have you been a thief without sleeping all night?"

Qiao An took the bow and arrows and put them away, and took the lead to walk to the early shop: "Mrs. Guo's illness has been cured?" ”

"You stole the bow and arrows out, are you preparing to break into the county office?" Qiao Ping looked at his younger brother seriously and asked, "Are you like this, have you ever thought about your father?" ”

"I'm not prepared to break into the county government, and it's useless to break in." Qiao An turned to look at Qiao An, pursed her lips and said, "I heard that there is a tiger problem in Dongshan, and the county magistrate is sleeping and eating in order to get rid of the tiger." ”

"Do you want to go up the mountain and fight the tiger?" Qiao Ping was so shocked that his back was cold, and he was angry: "More than fifty hunters have gone and never returned, ...... you In my opinion, the scourge of star fruit really can't be left. ”

Qiao An suddenly paused, he turned to look at his brother, and said after a while: "I saw Sister Du Juan the day before yesterday, she was digging bamboo shoots on the mountain with the child on her back, and said that she was doing well now, so you should stop sneaking around and send her things." ”

Qiao Ping breathed a little, and his eyes were a little red when he looked at Qiao An.

Chunxiao took over the job of copying Buddhist scriptures, and Miss Xiao Er was the customer. She copied eighty-nine volumes of the "Diamond Sutra" by herself, and her right wrist was swollen and painful and unable to move, so she had no choice but to ask someone to copy another thirty-nine volumes. A total of 120 volumes of scriptures, just to make a wish before the Buddha on the begging festival, may her wishful husband marry her as soon as possible. ”

Qiao Ping's body shook, and his teeth bit his lower lip tightly.

"Brother, have you been happy all these years? If you let down Sister Juan'er and delay Miss Xiao's family, do you feel good? You're going through pain, and you're ready to pull me into that vortex? Let me die of star fruit, and then I will never be able to love others again? ”

Qiao Ping clapped his head with both hands, slid down and squatted on the side of the road, sighing one after another.

"My father and mother love each other all their lives, and they don't know what it's like to die in their hearts. But you know, you know that you still want to stop me? ”

"What's wrong with the second miss of the Xiao family? Gentle and virtuous, pretty and square, and her family background is above our family. If you hadn't saved her once, how could she have married you with such a character and family background? ”

"Say no more!" Qiao Ping wiped his face with his hand and let out a long sigh: "Juan'er knows that I sent her something?" ”

Obviously, he goes again every time it is dark, and he avoids everyone every time. How could anyone know? If others knew, would it make Juan'er embarrassed at her husband's house?

"Who else but you thinks about her favorite snack? Who but you want to send her something and have to be sneaky? Qiao An sighed: "Brother, is your heart distressed?" Looking at the scene of Sister Juan'er's marriage, what does it feel like in your heart? ”

Qiao Ping stood up suddenly, his red eyes glared at Qiao An, and roared: "You shut up, you shut up for me!" ”

Qiao An went over and put his arm around his brother's shoulders and sighed: "I didn't want to poke your sore spot, but I am Qiao Ping back then, and star fruit is the cuckoo of the year." Brother, I don't want to follow your old path! ”

"Fart cuckoo! Cuckoo and I are truly in love, what about star fruit? Does she like you? Does she like you even the slightest? ”

Joan's brows furrowed again, and he raised his eyes to look into the distance, to see the direction of star fruit entering the city.

Qiao Ping looked at him for a long time, then got up and walked to the morning shop. His heart ached so much that it made it difficult for him to breathe. So, he had to find something to do, he had to get busy, he had to stay away from Joan, away from the past, a little farther away!

Joan followed, and neither of the brothers spoke. After buying breakfast, Qiao Ping glared at Qiao An viciously, and said angrily: "If star fruit has a heart for you, I will help you." ”

When I returned to the shop, Aunt Wang was giving everyone a look. Seeing the breakfast Qiao Ping bought, he sneered: "You bought lunch?" ”

Qiao An called her mother, and Aunt Wang turned her head and sneered at him: "I don't have a thief son like you, you can steal my family's curved bow and iron arrows today, and you can take the life of my family tomorrow." ”

"Mother!"

Aunt Wang put the bowl of noodles on the table, lowered her head and ate it violently, refusing to look at Qiao An again.

Qiao Ping gave Qiao An a look and asked him to go to the back to rest, and he persuaded his father and mother first.

Just after breakfast, star fruit came over.

She greeted Aunt Wang while putting her baggage: "Auntie is here to deliver medicine?" If I had known you were coming, I wouldn't have taken an ox cart to accompany you. ”

Aunt Wang smiled forcefully and turned around and entered the pharmacy.

Carambola is confused: Did you say the wrong thing again?

When she saw the terrible big bow of horns, and then saw Joan, she understood everything. She wanted to say a few words to Joan, but as soon as she looked up, she saw Joan's eyes shining with joy.

Across the gazebo, he looked at her stupidly and asked stupidly, "Did the people of the Guo family embarrass you?" What about the county master, can you be wronged by the officials he sent? ”

Star fruit looked at the increasingly serious black and blue under his eyes, and his eyes were sore. When it came to the reproach on his lips, he couldn't say a word.

She nodded lightly and replied, "I'm fine, no one bullied me!" ”

"That's good!"

Joan wanted to stay with her for a while, he wanted to see her more, even if he didn't do anything or say anything, just to see her. But this is in the pharmacy, his parents are staring, and he has just gotten into trouble. If he insists on sticking to star fruit, it will definitely not be good for star fruit.

"You're busy! I'll go outside and take a look. ”

Qiao An glanced at the star fruit greedily several times, and finally passed by her.

On this day, star fruit is absent-minded and completely out of shape. Zhao Langzhong glared at her several times, and finally dropped the prescription directly: "Get out, you can come back after a while." ”

Carambola withdrew in a panic, her face flushed.

In the inner courtyard, she heard Aunt Wang scolding Qiao An, hearing Uncle Qiao smashing the tea cup, and hearing the elders scolding her for being a scourge. She listened quietly with her back against the wall, listening to Joan being scolded, listening to Joan being beaten, and listening to Joan emphasizing over and over again that Carambola was a good girl.

She slowly crouched down and hugged herself with both hands. She grinned sweetly, but tears flowed down her face.

Joan, silly Joan!

That night, she waited for him on the way back to the private school. As soon as Joan saw her turn around and leave, star fruit ran over and grabbed the hem of his clothes: "I have something to say to you." ”

Joan looked away and snorted, "But I don't want to hear it." ”

Carambola stuffed a box of ointment in the palm of his hand into his hand: "Then I'll talk to you another day, this is a medicine that invigorates blood and dispels blood stasis, you can wipe a little by yourself." ”

The warmth went down Qiao An's palm to his heart, and the sweet feeling made the corners of his lips slightly raised.

While he wasn't paying attention, star fruit jumped over and saw Joan's face clearly.

The originally handsome face was high and swollen, the palm prints on the cheeks overlapped red and purple, and the left eye was even more purple and swollen, and the originally black and bright big eyes were embedded in the gap and couldn't be opened at all.

Carambola also felt pain when she looked at it, she reached out and pulled the hem of Qiao An's clothes, choked and shouted: "Qiao An......"

Joan hurriedly turned her head away, he didn't want her to see herself so embarrassed.

"I didn't do my homework well, and my father should be angry and beat me. It's not too early, I'll send you back first. ”

He walked up, but the star fruit tugged at the hem of his clothes and didn't move. She looked up at the side of his face, let out a long breath of depression, and plucked up her courage for a long time before she said, "Joan, can we work together?" You concentrate on learning, and I concentrate on medicine. Something else ......"

"Do you have a heart? Star fruit, do you have a heart? ”

Joan grabbed the carambola by the shoulder, lowered her head and locked her eyes: "Even if you don't respond, it's better than chasing and refusing again and again." Star fruit, am I really that annoying to you? Is that what you don't like? ”

"It's not!" Carambola looked back into his eyes and puffed up: "I mean we work together, try to be together." I worked hard to study medicine, tried not to drag you back, and tried to stand on the same height as you. In this way, your family will probably be more receptive to me. ”

"Carambola ......"

"And you, you concentrate on your studies first. I don't want people to mention me and say that I'm a girl who hinders your future. Therefore, you have to work hard, work hard to learn, and work hard to make a name for yourself. When you become famous, your family will no longer dislike me for dragging you down. ”

"Until then, I'll wait for you!"

After saying this, the star fruit blushed in shame. Qiao An was also excited, he pressed the star fruit into his arms, and hurriedly pushed her away because of the etiquette. I was at a loss for a while, and I was so happy that I didn't know what to do......
