Chapter 10: Heading South (8)
Jinyuan
Since that day, Luo Rongkai has come to visit He Xinwan, and her spirit has been getting better day by day. I can drink some light white porridge slightly, and I have more and more waking hours.
After eating, Qing Qian accompanied He Xinwan and talked for a while. As soon as she fell asleep, a servant came and said that Captain He had come. In the past few days, Qingqian tried his best not to let himself think about the things of that day, and served He Xinwan wholeheartedly. Suddenly, when I heard He Shiyi's visit, I felt unusually nervous.
Standing in the corridor on the second floor, in the living room, He Shiyi was sitting on the sofa talking to Aunt Zhuang, as if he had said something happy, his eyebrows stretched and he laughed.
He Shiyi also sensed that someone was looking at him, and raised his head to look at Qingqian. Qingqian saw that his forehead was bandaged with gauze, his face changed greatly, and he walked a few steps before going downstairs.
Zhuang Xiaoxian saw the shallow situation, smiled slightly, whispered something in He Shiyi's ear, and got up to leave. He Shiyi didn't wait for Qingqian to go downstairs, and ran up to the second floor in three or two steps.
The acacia tree under the courtyard is some years old, thick and strong, and the leaves are dense and lush. Like a large open green umbrella, it spreads and stretches in the courtyard, standing on the terrace on the second floor, and can be reached as soon as you stretch out your hand.
The South Lake in the distance is very large, with clear water and a slight blue water. From a distance, it looks like a mirror, and the maple trees and acacia trees by the lake are all reflected in it. There are guards patrolling with rifles walking back and forth on the oil road around the lake, and only one or two bird chirpings can be heard around, quiet and beautiful.
"Qing Qian" He wet clothes hugged Qing Qian, hugged each other and looked at a lake of spring water.
"Hmm." Qingguang felt the warm breath of He Wet Clothes, mixed with a faint smoke of gunpowder and the fragrance of mint.
"Is it really okay?" Whispering shallowly, I still don't feel at ease.
"It's fine." He Shiyi held Qingqian's hand on the gauze and smiled lightly.
"You...... Be careful in everything. Qing's shallow hand was grasped tightly by He Shiyi, and he couldn't pull it back, and he unconsciously knotted it when he spoke.
"It's worth it this time." He Wet's mood looks excellent.
The shallow condition is unknown, and he glanced at the wet clothes.
"You don't understand military affairs. One day, I will take back everything that is mine. By then...... At that time......" He Shiyi said these words, as if with twelve points of joy. Speaking of the back, he said two sentences of "until then" but didn't say any more, just looked at the light smile and won more.
"You're so happy." Qingqian rarely saw He Shiyi's undisguised excitement, but his depressed heart was also affected, and he couldn't help but look up at him.
"I'm naturally happy." He Shiyi took Qingqian into his arms, and Qingqian leaned his head on He Shiyi's chest. In his ears, it was the steady and powerful heartbeat of He Shiyi.
Outside the courtyard downstairs, Wu Wu stood by the flower bed and waved at He Shiyi, looking very urgent. He wet clothes and light light have been seen.
"Wait for my aunt to wake up before leaving?" Qingqian cheered up and looked up at He Wetyi.
"Okay." Just now, Aunt Zhuang said that Qingqian has been in a trance for the past few days, and it seems that she has something on her mind. He Shiyi paid attention to it, but there was nothing wrong with it.
"Are you still used to living?"
"I am used to living, Aunt Zhuang and they treat me very well. In a few days, I have to go over to school. "I've been reading the newspaper a lot lately, and I know that it's not been peaceful outside lately.
"Call the guards to accompany you."
"Hmm."
Wu Wulai urged a few times, but He Shiyi couldn't wait for He Xinwan to wake up before leaving.
Qing Qian stood on the terrace, watching the back of He Wetyi leaving, and resisted the urge to question. You can't convict him so early and make a decision after going to school.
In my heart, there is still hope in the end.
It was dark in the room, the windows were closed, and I didn't dare to turn on the lights if I didn't want to. I've been here for two days, and someone came in to deliver a few meals, and Qi Ya didn't care about anything else, just picked it up and ate it.
There was a low conversation outside, and after a few moments, the door creaked open from the outside. The harsh sunlight was shining through, and it turned out to be daylight outside.
"Sister of the Qi family." It was the fifth aunt who came in.
Qi Ya thought to herself, is it to dispose of herself? Staring, he didn't respond.
The fifth aunt is too practical and has always been capable. only shouted this, seeing that Qi Ya didn't pay attention to her, and after approaching Qi Ya's side, he squatted down and went to untie Qi Ya's rope.
"The commander is on his way to Jinyuan, outside, I have already taken care of it for you. Take advantage of now, Miss Qi Er, hurry up! The fifth aunt lifted Qi Ya's body, and the guards outside had withdrawn.
"Why did you save me?" Qi Ya looked at the fifth aunt vigilantly, after some things, Qi Ya is no longer the innocent girl she used to be.
After staying in Washington for a few days, as far as Qi Ya knows, in private, the relationship between her sister Qi You and this fifth aunt is not very good.
"Since Miss Qi asked, the concubine didn't go around in circles. Today, the concubine let Miss Qi go, but she just hopes that he will leave a way for the child to live in the future......" The fifth aunt was too bright-eyed and completely frank when she spoke.
"You ......" Qi Ya listened to the fifth aunt's words, and her heart was shocked. I unconsciously marveled at the resourcefulness of this aunt's wife, let herself go, and if Huajicang successfully came back from the north, he would not be more than to be blamed. On the contrary, if Hua Jicang's army is defeated, he owes her this favor, and he will definitely have to pay it back.
"How did my sister fight you?" Qi Ya looked at the fifth aunt and muttered unconsciously.
"Miss Hua......" The fifth aunt's face instantly turned pale.
"Rest assured, if that day comes, I will be rewarded for my kindness today." Qi Ya smiled slightly and held the fifth aunt's hand.
Going out the back door and getting into the car, Qi Ya suddenly remembered something. Hurriedly grabbed the fifth aunt's hand: "Where is my father?" ”
"Master Qi has already gone to Jinyuan with the commander, Miss Qi will rush back immediately, maybe ......"
"Thank you." Qi Ya understood what the fifth aunt meant.
No matter how much you hate, that person is your father after all.
Out of Washington, the car went all the way north towards Jinyuan.
The fifth aunt had already made a plan in advance, and on the way out of Kangping, although there were many checkpoints along the border, there was nothing wrong. The driver is a very experienced person who chooses a secluded route with short distances. After almost three days, I finally got close to the suburbs of Jinyuan.
Seeing that Jinyuan was near, Qi Ya's mind was tense for a few days, and he was a little relaxed.
"Miss, something seems to have happened ahead, should we turn around?"
Qi Ya poked her head out to see that their car was driving on a secluded path, the width of which could only accommodate one car. The road is lined with lush trees.
There was a car parked in front of it, which had turned off, and the car was surrounded by ordinary people passing by.
"Wait a minute!" Qi Ya knew that it would take a while to turn back. From this road, hurry up and get to Jinyuan at night.
The sun shines through the gaps in the leaves and falls on the pavement. Maybe it's because there are few people walking, there are more weeds on the road, and the ground is full of greenery.
Qi Ya had been sitting in the car for more than half an hour, but the car in front of her still had no intention of driving away. The crowd of people blocking the road in a circle is increasing. Together, those who have good deeds took a look at Qi Ya's car.
"Old horse, go down and see, what's going on?" Although Qi Ya is worried about fraud, time waits for no one, how can it be allowed to be wasted like this.
"Yes, Miss Qi." The driver, Lao Ma, and Qi Ya have been dealing with each other for a few days, and they have been traveling for days. But seeing Qi Ya, he didn't complain, and he was very calm when he met the check. Unconsciously, I had a good impression of her. Naturally, he obeyed Qi Ya's dispatch extraordinarily.
