Chapter 108: To the Northwest (6)
Lin Xuao really came back that night, and after a catastrophe, Qingyun's sleep quality was obviously not as good as before, and he would wake up at the slightest movement.
Lin Xu Ao was armed with martial arts, and he walked without making a sound on the ground, because he was worried that Qingyun would be plagued by nightmares again at night, so he stood quietly under the window alone for a long time.
Qingyun woke up in this kung fu, and was awakened by the broken palm that appeared in the dream, and when he reached out and touched it, his back and neck were in cold sweat.
Lin Xuao heard the moaning sound in the room, and hurriedly approached the window, and there was a sound of drinking water from inside.
"Light clouds?" The water is cold at night, what if I drink it and my stomach hurts? So Lin Xu Ao didn't think about it, and directly stopped it.
"Dangchang", there was a sound of porcelain falling to the ground in the house, followed by the sound of Qingyun patting the frightened Doubao to sleep, listening to the soft singing voice coming out of her throat, Lin Xu Ao had a moment of trance, when he was a child in the imperial garden, someone once sang in his ear.
After waiting for a long time for the room to return to calm, Lin Xuao saw a figure near the window of the glass.
Lin ...... Xu Ao? ”
Lin Xuao's tense nerves relaxed, although it was a fake name, but when he heard it from Qingyun's mouth, he was still very excited.
"It's me, the tea is too cold, you wait a minute, I'll go to the kitchen to boil hot water for you."
In the middle of the night, a low and soft voice came from the light cloud, "Lin Xuao, go to sleep, I'm not thirsty." Qingyun in the room lowered his eyebrows, his lips couldn't hide the smile that was about to overflow, he actually shouted to himself for a sip of cold water, it seemed that he had been standing outside for a long time.
Thinking of this, she urged again, "Lin Xuao, it's cold outside, you go back to the house quickly." ”
Lin Xuao, who is armed with martial arts, has internal strength to protect his body, and he can't feel any cold at all, but Song Qingyun's words please him, he pursed his lips, just like Song Qingyun's expression just now in the house, it was difficult to suppress the satisfaction and pleasure flowing from his heart, he coughed his throat nobly, and replied with joy in his voice, "Okay, you rest early." ”
Hearing Lin Xuao's answer, Qingyun smiled in his heart.
After lying down again, she gently patted Doubao, and quickly fell asleep, and when she opened her eyes, the sun was shining, and Doubao was neatly dressed and sitting in the kang to play.
"What time is it?" After she sat up, Guo's mother also opened the curtain and came in.
"At the end of the hour, did Madame sleep well at night?" Guo's mother asked with a smile as she brought the clothes on the shelf.
Qingyun blushed, Guo's mother has always slept badly, and when she talked to Lin Xuao last night, she probably listened.
"Mother Guo, call Sister-in-law Zhang over today, I have something to tell her." Qingyun's answer was not what he asked, and he didn't dare to look at Guo's mother's inquiring and mysterious eyes.
Guo's mother knew that she was shy, so she didn't expose it, and went down to arrange things in the kitchen with a smile.
When it was time to eat, Qingyun couldn't help but ask Guo's mother, "Is Master Lin up?" ”
"Madam, Lord Lin left when he was in his prime, and I sent him out."
"Huh?" Qingyun was stunned for a moment, so he left without sleeping when he came back? Are you busy with the slaughter of the county government? Faintly, Qingyun felt very guilty in his heart.
"Madam, Lord Lin explained that he will come back early in the evening and have dinner with Young Master Doubao."
Guo's mother didn't find that Qingyun was preoccupied, and after serving her a bowl of soup, she went down to work, Qingyun was a little unate, and after feeding Doubao, she also put off her chopsticks.
Soon Zhang came over with the tiger baby. There is something that no one in the village knows, after Qingyun was taken away, Zhang was slapped twice by Liu Xigui that night, and punished her to kneel in the cold firewood room for a night, and there are bruises on her knees to this day.
"Qingyun, it's good for you to come back."
She held back to prevent the tears from falling, but as soon as she opened her mouth, her voice trembled, and the tears still rolled down involuntarily.
Qingyun was stunned, looked at Zhang carefully, suddenly grabbed her hand, pushed her sleeve up, and a large bloodshot bruise was exposed in front of her eyes.
"Sister-in-law, was it beaten by a long pillar?"
Zhang's good face, how dare you say that Liu Xigui beat him? hurriedly pulled down his sleeves and wiped his tears indiscriminately, "How can there be a husband and wife who don't fight?" ”
"Why did the long pillar hit you?"
It's okay to quarrel, but if a man does something to a woman, he is a complete villain, and Qingyun looks down on this kind of person in his heart.
"Qingyun, don't ask." Zhang said softly with a red face.
How can you talk about things like this? Qingyun asked Guo's mother to take some snacks, made a pot of chrysanthemum tea, and chatted for a long time before Zhang's mood calmed down.
"Sister-in-law, I have something to entrust to you."
Zhang cheered up, listened carefully to Qingyun tell her plan, pondered it again, and put forward the things she didn't understand, and Qingyun answered them one by one, until Zhang completely understood.
Before leaving, Zhang's eyes flickered, and after several times of wanting to speak, Qingyun asked her, "What's wrong"?
Zhang bit her lip and rubbed for a long time without saying a word, Qingyun thought that she was embarrassed to say that she was beaten by Changzhu, so she told her euphemistically that if there was anything she couldn't figure out, it would be better to come to her house than to be bored in her heart alone.
The thing Qingyun explained to the Zhang family was to make meat floss.
At the end of October, a landlord surnamed Li in a neighboring village found Qingyun, he raised some pigs at home, the heavy snow closed the mountain, and the pig dealers did not come to the village to collect pigs, he was distressed about the feed for the pigs every day, so he slaughtered a few and sold them to Qingyun at a low price.
The fat meat made the workers into lard, and a lot of the remaining lean meat was frozen in the warehouse, inspired by beef jerky, Qingyun planned to make all the lean meat into meat floss for easy storage.
That evening, Lin Xuao returned to Liujia Village before the sun set, under the ancient tree in the center of the village, Liu Xigui stood there for a long time, and finally waited for Lin Xuao.
He invited Lin Xuao to his house for a drink.
Seeing that Lin Xu Ao didn't make a sound for a long time, Liu Xigui was very unhappy, his family had received Zhao County's order, don't toast and don't eat and drink, he didn't invite anyone.
He was blinded, and he didn't know that as early as five days ago, Zhao County's order, which he let him show off everywhere, was chopped into meat sauce by the man who was killing him in front of him.
"Village Chief Liu, if you have anything, just say it directly, I have to rush back to study with Doubao."
Lin Xuao's eyes swept over him coldly, Liu Xigui couldn't figure out why he had a sense of coercion, this feeling was given by Lin Xuao, and the way he looked at himself made him feel that it was disrespectful not to kneel down and speak.
"This ...... It's nothing, I just feel that Brother Lin has been gone for so many days and suddenly came back, and I have to do my best as a landlord as the village head. ”
"Village Chief Liu, first of all, let me make it clear to you." Lin Xuao's voice was cold, Liu Xigui shivered inexplicably, his body was a little shorter, and he looked at him in fear.
"First of all, I'm not your brother, I don't have a brother as big as you; The second point is that I came to Liujia Village to be hired by Mrs. Song to be the enlightenment master of Young Master Doubao, and it has nothing to do with you, so you don't have to get close to me. ”
Liu Xigui, who was choked by Lin Xuao's words, rolled his eyes, didn't he find that he spoke so straight and smelly before? He is sixty years away, and he is ashamed to say that he does not have a brother as old as him.
He wanted to get into the relationship between the two, because Song Qingyun returned to Liujia Village unharmed, and a discerning person knew at a glance that it was Lin Xuao's strength again.
He asked Liu Changzhu to investigate Lin Xuao's origin, but he didn't have a clue at all, so at the critical moment, he cheekily invited, but was mercilessly ridiculed by Lin Xuao, so angry that he had angina that night and didn't close his eyes all night.
