Chapter 13 Red Apricot Out of the Wall
Yao Qingyu chattered alone for a long time, from the first village to the Qin Pavilion, and then talked about his own cow giving birth to a calf last night......
Finally put his mouth on thirst and stopped drinking.
Ye Qingzhi rubbed her forehead, felt her head buzzing, and decided that it was better to go.
Mu Qingshui drank too much, and wanted to relieve himself at this time, so he pulled Ye Qingzhi's sleeve with a red face, and whispered embarrassedly: "Sister Qingzhi, I want to go to the toilet......"
Ye Qingzhi nodded: "I'll accompany you." ”
"No, I'll just go myself." Mu Qing has been wandering outside since he was a child, and he is still relatively self-reliant, and he feels that it is not good to have his sister accompany him as a boy, how embarrassing.
Ye Qingzhi patted his head: "Okay, I'll wait for you here." ”
"Uh-huh." Mu Qing got up and trotted out all the way.
After Yao Qingyu drank half a pot of tea to quench his thirst, he said: "It turns out that this is your younger brother, I said that the girl looks so young, why is the child so old......"
Ye Qingzhi suddenly remembered that he claimed to be surnamed Yao, so he broke off his gushing and asked, "Are you the Yao family of one of the five major families?" ”
"Uh...... Oh, yes. Yao Qingyu's words were interrupted and he was stunned for a moment, and then smiled gently: "What are the five major families, they are all spread by outsiders, but the surname of the first village is Yao, and it is really our family." ”
Over there, Mu Qing came out of the room, ran downstairs and asked Ping'er, and soon found a toilet in the backyard, and finally felt comfortable.
Mu Qing rubbed his stomach and came out of the toilet, and Leng Buding was startled by the sudden jump out of Luocheng: "Brother Luocheng......"
Luo Cheng pulled him aside: "Little Muqing, let me ask you, who is the man opposite Miss Ye?" ”
Mu Qing said what happened just now: "Sister Qingzhi ignored him, and that brother kept talking to himself." ”
Luo Cheng was half relieved when he heard this, but he still said cautiously: "Now I'll give you a task, and now go back and stare at that man to see what he has intentions." ”
Mu Qing blinked: "Is that brother trying to do something to Sister Qingzhi?" ”
Luo Cheng nodded very seriously: "Yes, you are a little man now, you want to protect Miss Ye, you know?" ”
Mu Qing straightened his chest: "Okay!" ”
Los Angeles patted him on the shoulder: "Go ahead." ”
"Hmm!" Mu Qing nodded solemnly and ran back quickly.
When I returned upstairs, I heard Yao Qingyu talking alone: "...... If the girl doesn't dislike it, she will invite the girl to come to the humble house at that time, and Xiaosheng will be honored. ”
Ye Qingzhi picked up the teacup, took a sip, and nodded with a light smile: "Okay." ”
Mu Qing looked at Yao Qingyu, and then at Ye Qingzhi, frowning slightly, what did Sister Qingzhi promise this brother just now?
After sitting for a while, Ye Qingzhi took Mu Qing away, and Yao Qingyu sent it to the door and invited Ye Qingzhi to come back next time.
Mu Qing was dragged by Ye Qingzhi through the alley, looking at Ye Qingzhi's expression with his head held high, thinking about whether to tell Brother Luocheng what he said just now. But that Yao Gongzi didn't do anything bad to Sister Qingzhi, but what did Sister Qingzhi promise him?
Mu Qing looked at Tianxiang and was in a trance, the black shadow on the wall flickered, and he saw Luo Cheng waving his hand to him. Mu Qing was stunned, accidentally tripped over a stone on the ground, and almost fell, but fortunately Ye Qingzhi stopped him.
Ye Qingzhi looked down at him: "What's wrong?" ”
"Sister Qingzhi......" Mu Qinggang decided to ask the doubts in his heart, a slender figure appeared in front of him, stretched out his hand, and said, "Old woman." ”
Ye Qingzhi followed his gaze and looked over: "The one who grabbed the silver?" ”
Mu Qing shook his head: "No, but several of them are together." ”
"Go over and ask."
Mu Qing nodded: "Hmm." ”
At this time, the sun was full at noon, and the old woman in tattered clothes and dirty shoes lived on crutches and shrunk on the wall at the mouth of the alley to avoid the sun, and from time to time she looked to see if anyone was passing by.
Mu Qing trotted all the way over, and shouted in a crisp voice: "Mother-in-law......"
The old woman turned her head to look behind when she heard the sound, stared at Mu Qing for a long time with cloudy eyes, and hesitated: "This little boy knows me?" ”
Mu Qing smiled sweetly: "Mother-in-law, I'm a dog baby, you don't remember." Then he scratched his head and said shyly: "But I have changed my name to Mu Qing now." ”
The old woman suddenly said, "Ah, it's a dog." His eyes looked Mu Qing up and down for a moment, and then he said strangely: "Why are you ......?"
At this time, Ye Qingzhi came over and stood next to Mu Qing.
The old woman looked at Ye Qingzhi dressed in precious silk, with an elegant temperament, she must be a rich and noble person, and then looked at Mu Qingzhi who had not seen her for a few days, and her whole body had changed into a person, and she was like a rich boy.
"Did this girl adopt you?" The old woman asked.
Mu Qing looked at the sky and felt that it should be counted, so he nodded: "This is Sister Qingzhi, my name is taken by my sister, and there are other brothers and sisters, they are all good people." ”
The old woman reached out with some relief and wanted to touch the top of Mu Qing's hair, but when she was about to make contact, she saw that Mu Qing was dressed clean and decent, and then saw that she was covered with dirt, so she withdrew her hand with some embarrassment.
"Yes, that's good." The old woman smiled and said to Ye Qingzhi: "Although I have only lived in Buhou Street for two days, I have also seen that the dog baby is often bullied by Da Niu and others, and this child's life is miserable...... Now it's good, it's a bittersweet one, the girl is a kind and decent person at a glance, and the dog baby will follow you in the future, and it will be blessed. ”
Ye Qingzhi didn't explain much, bowed slightly, and said in a cold voice: "Mu Qing is fine, don't worry." ”
The old woman nodded, and said vigorously, "That's good, that's good......"
Ye Qingzhi took Mu Qing's hand, rubbed his head, and then said to the old woman, "Can I ask you a question?" ”
"Huh?" The old woman was puzzled, "What does the girl want to ask?" ”
"Mu Qing said, there is an old woman with a black mole on her face who lives with you, I don't know where she is now?"
The old woman was puzzled, and a little guarded: "The girl is talking about Aunt Wang?" I wonder what the girl is looking for her? ”
Mu Qing interjected: "Mother-in-law, rest assured, Sister Qingzhi is from the government, not a bad person." ”
The old woman was a little surprised that this weak girl was actually from the government: "...... What do adults want to ask? ”
Ye Qingzhi said simply: "I want to ask her about a little thing related to Da Niu." ”
"Oh, that's right, it's the big cow boy who has done something bad," said the old woman, "I, too, know sooner or later that this day will come." ”
"Where is Aunt Wang now?" Inevitably, the old woman took the topic again, Ye Qingzhi asked directly.
The old woman's brows furrowed, merging with the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes: "Aunt Wang is gone." ”
Ye Qingzhi frowned slightly: "When did you disappear?" Why don't you go to the government? ”
"It's been two or three days." The old woman smiled helplessly, and said with some bitterness: "Who cares about a beggar woman." ”
Ye Qingzhi asked again: "Why don't you see it?" ”
"On the way to the first village together, we slept in the ruined temple at night, and when we woke up in the morning, the people were gone. I thought she got up early to beg, but never came back. The old woman recalled.
Ye Qingzhi pondered: "Who has anyone come to her in the middle?" ”
The old woman shook her head: "No." ”
"Okay, I see, thanks." Ye Qingzhi nodded slightly, then bowed her head and said to Mu Qing, "Let's go back." ”
Mu Qing looked up at Ye Qingzhi, and then at the old woman, looking like she wanted to speak and stopped.
Ye Qingzhi was clear-minded, she guessed what he wanted to say, looked at his eyes and slowly shook her head, and said, "We have something to do, it's inconvenient to take her with us." ”
Mu Qing bit his lip and lowered his head, he also knew that he was already their oil bottle, and he didn't have the face to ask for more, but ......
"You take these."
Ye Qingzhi's voice came from above his head, Mu Qing raised his head and looked over, and saw Ye Qingzhi handing a delicate embroidered bag to the old woman.
The old woman took it with a trembling hand, and the weight in her hand showed that there was a lot of money: "My lord, this ......"
Ye Qingzhi rubbed the top of Mu Qing's hair, and said in a clear voice: "Take this silver back to your hometown, it is enough for you to live in your old age." ”
The old woman couldn't believe that she could encounter such a good thing, and cried with joy while holding the silver in her hands: "Thank you, sir, thank you, ......."
"I'm not an official, so you don't need to call me an adult." Ye Qingzhi said with a cold expression, and said to Mu Qing: "Let's go." ”
Mu Qing smiled and waved his hand to the old woman as he walked. He had always been a little afraid to get close to Ye Qingzhi before, thinking that this sister was too cold, but now he felt that Sister Qingzhi might have that personality, but she must be very beautiful in her heart.
"Big ...... Girl, Aunt Wang, she ......," the old woman shouted from behind.
Ye Qingzhi knew what she wanted to ask, and turned her head and said, "We will look for her." ”
The old woman wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeve, and looked at Ye Qingzhi's back as if she had seen a fairy.
Luo Cheng, who was squatting on the roof, saw this scene and sighed, Miss Ye really doesn't eat the fireworks of the world, and she gives so much money to a beggar woman, she is not afraid of letting the thief worry about her.
The two walked out of the small alley, and Mu Qing suddenly thought of something: "Sister Qingzhi, will my mother-in-law meet a bad person with so much silver alone?" ”
Ye Qingzhi's lips were slightly raised, she looked up at it, and said with a light smile: "Someone will secretly escort her back to her hometown." ”
"Really?" Mu Qing was a little surprised.
"Hmm."
Luo Cheng's face was full of black lines, and the emotional Miss Ye was either lacking in heart eyes or too many heart eyes, and she calculated herself.
At the same time, she wondered, how did she know that she was secretly following?
Back in the courtyard where he was temporarily staying, as soon as he talked about things before and after Los Angeles, Zhao Qi touched his head and felt a little green.
Zhao Qi kicked a stool a little angrily and pointed at Luo Cheng: "I can't do this little thing well." ”
Luo Cheng said innocently: "This has nothing to do with me, it's completely because Miss Ye is too charming." ”
"Alright, don't me." Zhao Qi waved his palm and sent him away: "You first send someone to find that Wang Pozi, and then find someone to send the old woman back to her hometown." ”
"Yes, General!" Los Angeles smeared oil on the soles of his feet and hurried away.
During the play, when he saw Los Angeles fleeing from the desert, he leaned over and said, "Is the general angry?" ”
Luo Cheng spread his hands: "No, the red apricots are going to go out of the wall!" ”
A teacup was smashed out of it, and Los Angeles and the play suddenly scattered.
