Chapter 45 Pushing People into the Water
Everyone was curious and said, "What miracle from heaven?" How come we haven't heard of it? ”
The one who put down the cup said mysteriously: "This is also what I only heard a few days ago, and the Xue family of Caoyun knows, right?" There is only one daughter, and she came from other places, and she has established herself in that luck because of hardship. There are many factions on Caoyun, and they are already fighting fiercely, and they all bully his family openly and secretly with only a daughter and no man, and the words behind him don't know how ugly they are. ”
"It's all known, we need to know what miracles have fallen from heaven."
"Don't worry, I'll tell you slowly. The Xue family had an argument with the people of the He family on the dock a few days ago, and the other party scolded him for having no queen, so angry that the old Xue was about to do it on the spot. The girl of the Xue family is a character, if she had changed to another woman, she would have cried so much that she would have cried with pear blossoms and rain, and her sick appearance would be pitiful, but the eldest girl Xue flashed out and wanted to compete with the provocative person of the He family. You all know that getting up and running is what the old men do, which is what the girl's family can do. But Miss Xue gave a war book, and it must be compared. ”
"And then?"
"Later, the two families really compared, Miss Xue's row has always been in front, and it was smooth, but I don't know what tricks the other party's He family made, then Miss Xue's row was broken, and the people of the Xue family also fell into the water."
"Huh?" Everyone was shocked: "How can the platoon be broken!" Is Miss Xue okay? ”
The man who spoke was urged by everyone, and he wanted to drink water to moisten his throat but choked, and the more he coughed, the more anxious everyone became, and patted him on the back, urging him to hurry up.
Finally, he took a breath, waved his hand with a flushed face and said: "Ahem, cough, I originally thought that Miss Xue was lost, but who knew that suddenly a miracle fell from the sky, someone saw that the river was rolling like the sea, the clouds in the sky bloomed, and a green dragon rose from the river water, and it knocked over the He family's platoon." ”
"How can this happen?"
"But no, the sky is blue, the platoon of the He family was sunk by the Qinglong, the people of the He family harmed others, but they fell into the water from time to time, which can be described as unpleasant retribution! Although they have good water quality, it is the first time that they have encountered it so suddenly, and there is a whirlpool in the river, and it is said that the He family is fluttering there! It was the Xue family who swam over and supported each other to swim ashore together. Those people in the He family are used to being domineering on weekdays, but now that Qinglong has appeared, they can come ashore, which can be regarded as picking up a life. In the future, the master of the He family still wanted to bully the Xue family, and those people probably didn't dare or refuse to make a mistake to the Xue family's girl. ”
After hearing this, everyone was dumbfounded, and smacked their mouths and said, "This is really ...... What a miracle. ”
"Isn't it!" The one who spoke quickly took another sip of tea, and his face returned to its usual color: "It's still behind, the Xue family has the protection of the green dragon, and they all say that the ancestor of the Xue family has accumulated virtue and blessed the Xue girl." Miss Xue went home, but the rhetoric that came out was completely different, she didn't say that she picked up a few knives when she was saving people, it must have been these knives that cut down the He family's platoon, not Qinglong punishing the He family, so that everyone should stop spreading falsehoods. It's nothing if she doesn't say this, as soon as she says it, everyone knows that this Xue family girl is a really low-key and polite girl, she will fight if others provoke her, and she won't chase after others if they lose. Although he was bullied, after teaching the other party a lesson, he still had the mind to repay his grievances with virtue, which can be said to have saved enough face for the He family. Where to find such a good girl? In the past few days, the people who have come to the door to propose marriage have stepped on the threshold of the Xue family! ”
Hearing this, the crowd couldn't help but nod their heads: "The girl of the Xue family is really a good character, and her words are obviously to relieve the He family." How can there be a knife in the world that is so sharp that it can cut off the rows in the river? And where did the knife come from in the river? A person who can be protected by the green dragon naturally has a noble character. She's a girl from a rough family, it's really not easy!! ”
"I want to go to Xue's house to propose."
"Didn't you marry a long time ago?"
"I can't even think about it......"
"Hahahahaha......"
In this way, everyone heard a lot, so they went to get their errands, and Xie Ci looked at the black dog, sent some payment to the house doctor, and when he returned home alone, it was already dark.
After making food for his grandmother, watching and taking medicine, and settling his grandmother to sleep, Xie Ci lay on the bed, turned off the lights but did not fall asleep, he looked at the dark ceiling.
The fatigue on my body is okay for the time being, but the doubts in my heart can't be solved like a mess.
Pan He, a businessman from another place who disappeared inexplicably, Ding Jia of Pan He's family who was hurriedly buried in Guanyin Mountain but was poisoned to death, Ding Yi of Pan He's family who was killed and then thrown away in a fire to destroy the corpse, plus the deceased today.
One is missing and four are dead.
All four of the dead died in the same way, and it seemed as if the same person had done it, but there was always something wrong......
There is also the girl of the Xue family, who once had a relationship with her on the second floor of the study, and the girl looks very cool, not like a person who can make up nonsense.
Xie Ci thought about Xue Zheng, and suddenly Duan Ling'er's smiling face flashed in his mind, and then remembered the eyes of Duan Ling'er and Gu Changfeng at the lantern banquet that day, and Duan Ling'er's eyes full of enthusiasm.
Xie Ci's mind flickered inexplicably, and for some reason that enthusiasm burned his heart sour.
At this point, his mind dispersed for a moment, and he felt that he could no longer condense.
He was a little irritable and fell asleep under the quilt.
The next day, Xie Ci went to the yamen to report before dawn, and then turned back home and changed into civilian clothes.
Xie Ci had just fastened his belt when he heard his grandmother shouting for dinner outside.
Grandmother Xie Ci is still confused these days, but she never forgets to get up before dawn and make breakfast for Xie Ci, and the meal is always repeated, but Xie Ci has no complaints.
Grandmother was also eating herself, and she didn't have anything to say, but somehow she suddenly stopped eating, and Zhengse thanked her: "Brother Ci, your grandfather can't come back, don't take care of me, run for your life!" ”
After hearing this kind of thing many times, I thought that my grandmother had said crazy things again, so I had to gently persuade her: "If you want to leave, you must also take your grandmother with you." ”
The grandmother was so anxious that her face turned red, and the tip of her nose sweated slightly: "Child, listen, I am not your grandmother, your grandmother is the king of Guimen, your grandfather is the old prince of Zhennan, your mother is the Yao family, and you are the eldest son of the prince of Zhennan." My old man will never come back, he must have been plotted, you are in danger at this moment, you can no longer take care of me, you yourself hurry up and run for your life! ”
Saying that, grandmother stood up and wanted to go to pack up Xie Ci's clothes, Xie Ci hurriedly got up and followed, only to see that grandmother walked to the door and suddenly her face changed, her eyes were dull, and she turned her head with a very gentle expression: "Brother Ci, your grandfather went out to get oil in the morning, why hasn't he come back yet?" ”
Xie Ci wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, helped his grandmother back and said, "I'll be back, and I'll pick up my grandfather at the door in a while." ”
Grandmother's eyes were hazy, her lips moved a few times, and she muttered: "Brother Ci, you are already ten years old, you must learn your skills hard and protect yourself." ”
The tears in Xie Ci's eyes were full of tears, and he endured it not to fall.
Xie Ci helped his grandmother sit down, only to see his grandmother holding chopsticks, staring into the void in a daze, and after a while, he turned his eyes to Xie Ci and said with tenderness: "Old man, Brother Ci ate some raw fruit this morning, and only shouted that his stomach hurts." He's not feeling well, so don't memorize the three-character scripture, a three-year-old child, let's take a day......"
The tears of thanks finally fell on the table.
Xie Qi ate a clean breakfast, cleaned the rice bowls, cleaned the table and swept the yard, sat on the edge of my grandmother's bed, and watched my grandmother drink medicine and lie down and sleep peacefully.
Then he got up, poured out the dregs of several medicine jars in the courtyard, added new medicinal materials, scooped water from the jar and put them into those medicine jars, refilled the fire with firewood and continued to boil the medicine, and when he was done, the day was completely bright.
After thanking him, he locked the courtyard door and went out of the street again.
