Chapter 48: Whereabouts
After a few days and nights, Sanniang soaked her feet and asked Qinghuan: "Has your cousin found it?" ”
Qing Huan shook his head and said, "Not yet." ”
"Didn't you say a few days ago that you found a person with the same name and surname?"
"I went to see it, no."
"We're going to leave in a few days."
Qing Huan silently made the bed, thinking seriously about Sanniang's words: "I'll look for it again in the next few days." ”
"Let's ask again," Sanniang finished soaking her feet at this time, and said while wiping her feet, "It's okay if you can't find it." Come with us. ”
Qing Huan thought that they would not take her with him again, so he was a little surprised: "Where are you going?" ”
"We're going to go west and get to Anzai before the snow closes the mountain. Then I will return at the beginning of spring next year. ”
Isn't Anxi Xinjiang? Qing Huan had never been there before, but now that I hear it, I really want to go.
But I've been bothering them for so long, and I'm a little embarrassed: "I've been bothering you for so long..."
"What's there?" Sanniang interrupted her, "I'll tell you, Anxi is beautiful, if you hadn't met us, maybe you wouldn't have had a chance to go in this life." Since you haven't found any relatives, take this opportunity to walk with us and come back next year. ”
"I..."
"I know your concerns. Rest assured that you will follow me all the way, absolutely safe. If you find it bothersome to us, I'll arrange something for you to do when I go back. ”
Hearing Sanniang's words, Qing Huan's hanging heart let go. First, it was impossible for him to find the blind cousin, and secondly, Sanniang's intimacy also dispelled his concerns.
He nodded in agreement.
In the next few days, although Qing Huan pretended to look for it, he was actually doing useless work, just killing the time, just waiting for the caravan to depart.
Sanniang has been very busy these days, while needing to sort out the goods, and at the same time ensuring supplies along the way.
Qing Huan met her on the street, and said, "What's the matter, I'll go with you, and I have a helper somewhat." ”
Sanniang was not polite, and handed over some simple tasks to Qing Huan to do, such as buying fabrics and dry food.
These things are not difficult, Qing Huan happily took them, thinking that he must do things properly.
On the way back after shopping, she passed by a teahouse, which opened at the same time, and in order to attract customers, she invited the storyteller to tell some anecdotes in it.
This trick was quite effective, and I saw that the store was full, and all of them came to listen to the story.
Qing Huan was passing by, and was about to go back, but he heard someone: "What happened to the third prince?" ”
Qing Huan paused, and the ghost stopped to hear what they were saying.
The storyteller took a sip of water and pretended to be mysterious: "Later, the third prince honestly married someone the prince didn't want, and he didn't complain at all." ”
"If you want me to say, he wouldn't dare." Someone in the seat shouted.
The storyteller shook a fan and said, "What this guest officer said." The three princes have been targeted by the prince since they were children, and they have always obeyed the arrangement, and they dare not exceed their honest duties. The prince originally thought that if they had too much contact with the prime minister after they got married, they could be convicted of forming a party for personal gain. But the prime minister is a smart man, and as soon as his daughter gets married, he will return to his hometown. ”
"Is it really a return to the old man?"
"It's really a farewell homecoming. In order to keep the third prince and his daughter, he resolutely left. The emperor couldn't keep it, so he sent people to send him all the way. But guess what? ”
"What's wrong?"
"You said hurry up, don't sell it." Someone couldn't wait and urged him to say it quickly.
The gentleman laughed and said, "When the prince saw that his plan had not been successful, he became angry and ashamed. The two prime ministers who returned to their hometowns were assassinated. ”
There was a sigh below, and Qing Huan, who was standing aside, almost fainted.
She forced herself to stand still, her heart was like a mush, and then they didn't hear a word of what they said.
One foot and one foot heavier returned to the inn.
After going back, Qing Huan fell asleep, as if this would relieve the fatigue in his heart.
At night, Sanniang came back and saw Qinghuan who was still sleeping, and thought she was sick, so she woke her up: "What's wrong?" Where is it uncomfortable? ”
Qinghuan looked at Sanniang in a daze.
"What's wrong?" Sanniang simply sat next to her.
Qinghuan's tears fell, and the bedding in front of him was wet like a torrential rain.
The crying Sanniang was caught off guard, and she didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only put her arms around her shoulders and give her a support.
Qing Huan was tired of crying, so he made up a reason, saying that he heard that his cousin had died of illness a few years ago.
Sanniang felt a little sorry for her, and said, "If you have no relatives, you will join us." I'm older than you, so call me sister in the future. ”
Sanniang has always taken great care of Qing Huan, and when she said this, Qing Huan was moved and blamed herself, and the tears that had just stopped fell down again.
Sanniang didn't know how to comfort her at all, so she could only wipe her tears and say don't cry.
Qinghuan also tried his best to recover his emotions and said, "Sanniang, go and get busy, I'll just rest." By the way, I bought all the things and gave them to Lao Zhao when I came back. ”
Sanniang nodded and said, "That's okay, I'll get busy first, there are a lot of things." You take a break first. After watching Qing Huan fall asleep, Sanniang went out.
After eating at night, Sanniang took Qinghuan to a place where no one was in the backyard of the inn.
"This is what I just went to buy," Sanniang took out a wad of paper money and a few pillars of incense, "Comfort your cousin in the spirit of the sky, he can be regarded as a sister, and he has cared about him." ”
Sanniang said this sincerely, and people couldn't help but think that she was saying it to herself, after all, her brother had passed away.
"Okay, Sanniang has a heart." Qing Huan took it, squatted in place and began to sort out the paper money.
A few pillars of incense were lit and planted in the ground, and the paper money slowly turned into ashes. In Qing Huan's eyes, there was a hazy layer of tears, because Sanniang was beside her, and she never fell.
Prime Minister and his wife, Qing Huan didn't get along with them for long. Although it has been more than two years, Qing Huan can still feel their love for their daughter.
In the past, Qing Huan always had a thought, even if he was scattered in the end, as long as he could find them, he would have a home in the future.
But not anymore.
Qing Huan has nothing. Parents, husbands, Agu... Those who abandoned her and those who were abandoned by her finally came to the memory and became a dream.
So she's sad, she's sad, she's scared.
The world is so big that there is no place for it.
With the last bit of incense burned out, in this unaccompanied world, where should Qinghuan go?
Within a few days, Qing Huan followed the caravan and set off from Yizhou to Anxi.
At that time, Li Yan was waiting for an opportunity in Chaocheng, and the distance between the two became farther and farther.
