Chapter 61: The dust has not settled, and the storm is dark

The sunset fell on the horizon with the sparse flowing clouds, exuding a soft light like water droplets, as if the dazzling light at noon was rubbed off by the evening breeze little by little, gentle and melancholy.

Shan Ruqing walked on the way home, looking at the old woman sitting on the side of the street with a child in her arms quietly wiping her tears, and suddenly stopped: This old grandmother ...... She had just met in front of the Kelai Teahouse.

The old woman was crying very sadly, and although her pursed lips did not make any sound, the tears flowed uncontrollably. If it weren't for the fact that there was a sleeping child lying in her arms, I am afraid that she would have cried loudly there.

Shan Ruqing couldn't bear it, so she lifted the skirt and stepped over the broken bricks and tiles in that place and walked to the old woman. Wulu knew that she was soft-hearted again, so he supported her steadily, lest Shan Ruqing accidentally fall. And Shan Linfeng just followed with a frown, and did not stop him.

"Grandma, what's going on?" Shan Ruqing asked, and squatted in front of the old woman, with a pair of eyes full of kindness, seeing that the old woman couldn't help but stretch out her hand to wipe the hazy teary eyes, and said with a crying smile: "Ouch, when people are old, it is easy to see Tianxian'er!" ”

Shan Ruqing looked at the old woman, and looked at the child in her arms, with a good sleeping face, as if the moon was on the horizon.

She thought about it for a long time, and finally couldn't help but ask in a soft voice: "Yes, I tell you the truth, I was sent by the Jade Emperor to help you, so if you have any needs, just say it, and I will help you achieve it." ”

"Girl, you are beautiful and kind-hearted, I understand this kindness as an old fool...... the old woman said leisurely, reached out and patted the back of Shan Ruqing's hand, looked at Shan Linfeng who was standing not far away, and said, "Go back quickly, your family is waiting." ”

Shan Ruqing felt the warmth and roughness coming from the back of her hand, and couldn't help but have a sour eye, so she grabbed the old woman's hand with her backhand and said with a smile: "You say, we are also destined, you should be considered to accumulate virtue for me." ”

"This ......" The old woman looked embarrassed, but after looking at the child in her arms, she had to sigh and say to Wulu: "Your young lady is so good...... It would be nice if Biqing could meet such a good master......"

"Biqing?" Shan Ruqing couldn't help but smile slightly when she heard this name: Biqing, what a sunny and lovely name...... I wonder who it will be?

"Grandma, who is Biqing?" Without taking Shan Ruqing to speak, Wulu asked in understanding.

"That's him." The old woman pouted at the child in her arms, and the warmth in her black eyes spread a little, "This is the name given by his parents, the blue of jasper, the sunny day of the sunny day." ”

"Oh? So what's his last name? Shan Ruqing couldn't help but be a little curious: This is obviously a boy, why did he choose such a feminine name? Could it be that his surname is very special?

"Feathers, feathers."

"Yu Biqing?" Wulu's eyes widened when he heard this, and he asked in disbelief, "Could he be a girl?" ”

"No...... Biqing is a boy. The old woman was not surprised by the green attitude, so she just replied casually.

But she showed a look of interest to Shan Ruqing, who bowed her head and was silent, "What are you thinking?" ”

"I'm thinking, Biqing's parents must have given birth to Biqing at the most difficult time in their lives, right?"

Shan Ruqing said thoughtfully, but silently read in her heart:

Yu Biqing, the rain will be clear, and the rain will be clear.

I don't know if the couple survived the "rainy day" in their lives......

But looking at the two mothers-in-law and grandchildren in rags, Shan Ruqing finally felt heavy in her heart.

"Yes......" After the old woman heard Shan Ruqing's question, the tears in her eyes flashed, and then her voice trembled and said, "It's a pity...... They didn't wait. ”

"Wait for what?"

"It's a rainy day in the West Pole."

"The West Pole?" Shan Ruqing exclaimed in surprise, but accidentally woke up Yu Biqing, who was sleeping soundly in the old woman's arms, he opened a pair of hazy big eyes, and said inarticulately: "Grandma...... Hungry ......"

"Hey, we'll eat when the teahouse puts the noodles out." The old woman replied gently, patted Yu Biqing's chest, and gradually, Yu Biqing fell asleep again.

"I'm really sorry......" Shan Ruqing knew that she had made a mistake, and couldn't help but fold her hands and bow to the old woman. But because she hadn't eaten for too long, she couldn't help but feel soft under her feet, and if it hadn't been for the fact that Wuhu had grabbed her arm in time, she would have knelt straight on the ground like this.

"It's okay," the old woman smiled and shook her head, and then said with a calm face: "The West Pole is the westernmost part of this world, where it rains all year round, but there will be one sunny day every ten years, and only on that day, there will be no rain in the West Pole." ”

"Is there anyone living there?" Shan Ruqing had never heard of the so-called West Pole, and he was very curious about it.

"No way. The rain in the West Pole is poisonous, and I heard that it will corrode living things, let alone people, and there is not even a living thing. The old woman chattered, but she didn't think Shan Ruqing was annoying.

"That'...... Why did Biqing's parents wait for the day when it rained in the West Pole? ”

Shan Ruqing doesn't understand: What is there to wait for in the sunny weather in a desperate place? Could it be that someone buried gold and silver treasures inside?

"I don't know." The old woman stopped the topic in time, and then brushed the broken hair that fell from her forehead, and sighed softly: "This hair has become longer again......"

It was only then that Wulu understood why Shan Ruqing suddenly noticed this seemingly ordinary old woman:

Although this old woman seems to be dressed in tatters, she is extremely neat, and the so-called tattered clothes are just too many sewing, but they are not overstretched, but the whole person is tightly covered.

Although the neatly combed bun is only inserted with a bamboo chopstick, the faint fragrance of the hair and the elegant temperament when the old woman pulls the broken hair behind her ears show that this old woman's background must be extraordinary.

But now is not the time to stay here.

Wu Lu's hand holding Shan Ruqing was also trembling slightly-she, like Shan Ruqing, had been hungry for a long time.

"Miss...... It's getting darker. Wulu lowered his head and said in Shan Ruqing's ear, Shan Ruqing heard the words and knew that Wulu was afraid that he would not be able to hold on, and he was actually not much better, so he was ready to get up and leave.

"By the way, do you know what happened to the Kelai Teahouse?" When the old woman saw Shan Ruqing standing up, she couldn't help but hurriedly asked, "Isn't it a face today?" ”

"This ......" Wulu didn't know how to speak, so he could only hesitantly say: "Something happened in the teahouse today, I'm afraid I won't be able to meet for a while, so I should continue tomorrow." ”

"That's it......" The old woman's eyes darkened, looking at Yu Biqing in her arms, she seemed to have made up her mind, and asked, "This young lady, is there still a shortage of servants in your house?" ”

"Servant?" Shan Ruqing put down the footsteps she had just mentioned, looked at the old woman with some surprise, and suddenly smiled: "I don't know what you call grandma?" ”

"My surname is Liu." The old woman wanted to get up as she spoke, so she gently patted Yu Biqing in her arms and said urgently: "Biqing, Biqing, it's time to wake up." ”

"Hmm......" Yu Biqing rubbed her eyes when she heard this, and muttered in a somewhat hoarse voice: "Noodle ...... Grandma: I want to eat noodles. ”

Without waiting for Mrs. Liu to speak, Shan Ruqing whispered to Yu Biqing: "Okay, good, there will be noodles to eat soon." ”

When Mrs. Liu heard this, she laughed, and a thin layer of joy appeared on her originally cloudy face.

And Wulu, who was standing on the side, was not as relieved as Shan Ruqing, but glanced in the direction of Shan Linfeng with some concern, and pulled the corner of Shan Ruqing's clothes, "Miss...... The eldest young master is still there. ”

"Oh, yes." Shan Ruqing patted her head, only to remember that Shan Linfeng was still following her, and instantly felt a headache:

I'm afraid that Shan Linfeng will stop himself from taking people back again......

Although she also thinks that it is not good to blindly take people back, but in the face of such an old and a young, it is really impossible for her to let go of it.

Moreover, if the dignified Prime Minister's Mansion couldn't even hold back a child who was only five years old and an old man who was over seventy years old, I am afraid that he would have died in the mansion thousands of times.

Therefore, after weighing it again, Shan Ruqing still decided to take someone back home. After all, if you bring this back, you may have another helper, so why not?

So, Shan Ruqing gritted her teeth, and said to Liu Laoyu and Yu Biqing's mother-in-law and grandson regardless of Wulu's worries: "It's good for you to follow me, don't talk later, it's best to cry if you can." ”

When Mrs. Liu heard this, she instantly understood what Shan Ruqing meant, and immediately sobbed and cried. Although Yu Biqing didn't understand what was happening, she also rubbed her red eyes, lowered her head and pretended to cry.

Seeing that the mother-in-law and grandson were so cooperative, Wulu couldn't help but smile slightly, and winked at Shan Ruqing: Everything is ready, Miss, you can start singing your "big show".

Shan Ruqing received the signal of the green green, raised her chin slightly, and a confident smile hung on the corner of her mouth.

But soon, she leaned on Wulu's body like a weak willow helping the wind, and her whole body was weakly supported by Wulu and walked to Shan Linfeng's side.

And Shan Linfeng also noticed Shan Ruqing, who was a little unsteady walking with the help of Wulu, and hurriedly greeted him: "Sister, are you not feeling well?" ”

"Yes, Brother Linfeng......" Shan Ruqing said very weakly, plus she was indeed hungry because she hadn't eaten, and her pale lips made her even more haggard.

This made Shan Linfeng's heart tense, and he asked a little anxiously: "Why don't my brother carry you back home?" ”

"No......" Shan Ruqing shook her head, suddenly her feet were weak, and she brought the turnip to the side, and Liu Laoyu and Yu Biqing, who were behind her, appeared in front of Shan Linfeng-

"Who are they?"

As expected, Shan Linfeng's face completely darkened, and Yu Biqing's cold tone frightened Yu Biqing and finally couldn't help crying loudly: "Grandma...... This man is terrible...... Biqing just wants to eat noodles......"

"This young master!" Old Lady Liu didn't care about her face anymore, but knelt straight on the ground, kowtowed heavily to Shan Linfeng and said:

"Our mother-in-law and grandson are helpless, but we have met a fairy like Miss who is willing to take us in, we know that we are immoral and incompetent, but I, Liu Ning, am willing to go up the knife mountain and go down the sea of fire for Miss without hesitation! Please also ask the young master to have mercy on us, let us follow the young lady back to the house! ”

"This ......" Shan Linfeng looked at Mrs. Liu, who was still prostrate on the ground, and hesitated a little in his heart, but after hearing Mrs. Liu's name, Shan Linfeng asked in disbelief: "What did you say your name was?" Liu Ning? The condensation of the cream? ”

"Yes, Nanyang Wangfu...... Liu Ning. ”

Old Concubine Liu finally raised her head after speaking, the blood from the broken forehead snaked down her cheeks, and a pair of old eyes were full of firmness and determination, and she saw that Shan Linfeng's brows were relaxed, and she finally sighed: "That's it, it's a blessing or a curse, and you can't avoid it, so you just follow Ruqing." ”

"Yes! Thank you, young master! Old Concubine Liu breathed a sigh of relief, led Yu Biqing to bow to Shan Linfeng again, and then stood up.

"For a bowl of noodles, is it worth it?" Shan Linfeng asked softly, looking at Mrs. Liu's eyes with a trace of regret.

"I'm just an old woman with a grandson...... "Old woman Liu said that she had come to this point, looked at Shan Ruqing again, and said with a smile: "Moreover, I believe in her." ”

At this moment, Shan Ruqing didn't understand what Shan Linfeng and Liu Lao Fei were fighting, but she could feel that when Liu Lao Yu said the four words of Nanyang Palace, Wu Lu's hand holding her was obviously stiff.

It seems that he has provoked a terrible character again.
