Chapter 33: The Beginning of Creek Village
In Shao Nanchu's heart, Bai Qiuluo has always been a thin and delicate little girl.
As for that dry and thin body, there is no woman's appearance at all, and it is too much to hold it, and if you want to talk about marriage, I am afraid that it will be a few years later.
But today's noisy Bai family made him understand that the little girl he thought had reached the age of discussing relatives.
Thirteen years old, it's not big, it's not small, those boudoir girls in the capital, thirteen years old, have indeed begun to look for a husband.
But thinking that Bai Qiuluo was going to marry a wife, why was he so awkward?
Shao Nanchu raised his hand and pressed his heart, a little stuffy, very strange feeling.
After thinking about it, he hadn't repaid her for saving her life, she was married like this, and it would be difficult for him to repay the favor in the future, so he was uncomfortable.
Letting go of this matter, Shao Nanchu silently lay on the bed and exercised.
He has residual poison in his body, although he is detoxifying through the effect of medicine, but he has nothing to do, and he will also use internal force to regulate and detoxify, and he will use both prongs.
Without the worry that he would be forced to marry, Bai Qiuluo was in a good mood for a few days.
On this day, Bai Qiu fell to the old man Hua's house to dry the medicinal herbs, with a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth, lined with the warm winter sun, as if the whole person was plated with a layer of golden light.
"It is said that each other is born from the heart, and the smile is so bright, but something good happens?" The old but angry voice came, it was Hua Guohua.
Bai Qiuluo looked back when he heard this, smiled lightly, and said, "Old man, you're done." Come and have a cup of tea and take a break. ”
As he spoke, Bai Qiuluo was like a waddling butterfly, and when he turned around with light steps, he had already lifted the teapot on the table and poured water into the teacup.
Hua Guohua sat down at the table and took a sip of tea, "Well, this is a tea bar made with medicinal herbs, nourishing and nourishing, it is well matched, good." ”
Bai Qiu was praised by him, and the corners of his mouth also raised a smile: "You are always praised, I have often followed your old side these days, if you don't even have this bit of attainment, then you really live up to your old teachings." ”
"Qiuluo, I'm going to be angry when you say that, it's obvious that we're together more, why did you become the one who was taught by your grandfather." A slightly dissatisfied voice came, and the person who spoke followed closely in this direction.
The person who came was a young man of about twenty years, handsome, handsome, although not as earth-shattering as Shao Nanchu, like an immortal, but he was definitely a handsome guy who could not be ignored, it was Hua Siyu, the grandson of Old Man Hua.
"Brother Hua is right, I made a mistake." Bai Qiuluo admits his mistakes like a stream, but where is the smiling appearance that makes people willing to blame?
"You girl, you are clever, I know that I am reluctant to blame you." Hua Siyu raised his hand and tapped her forehead, his face full of helplessness.
Bai Qiuluo poured a cup of tea for Hua Siyu, and then said: "The old man and Brother Hua are both good people, thanks to you for taking care of me for so many years, what I say is sincere, but I don't have the slightest intention of stealing and cheating." ”
"You stinky boy, you're competing with your grandfather for favor, you really have a face." The old man on the side laughed and scolded.
"Grandpa, what you said is not right, where am I competing for favor......"
Bai Qiuluo stood aside and smiled and watched the two talk, his heart was warm.
In her heart, this kind of intimacy is what a family should have. She is in the Bai family, in front of her father and mother, naturally there is such a harmonious scene, but if the old man and others are added, the atmosphere changes, so in the Hua family, in fact, it is when she is really relaxed.
Hua Siyu and the old man exchanged a few words, then looked at Bai Qiuluo, and said, "I heard that your uncle is trampling you again?" You also called someone to come to your house to propose? Can this be solved? If you want to help, just say it. ”
Being cared for, Bai Qiuluo's heart warmed, and he said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's been solved, I suddenly regretted it over there, and after this time, my uncle won't make a fuss about this matter for the time being." ”
Bai Qiuluo simply brought it over, and didn't want to talk about his own family ugliness.
Mr. Hua and Hua Siyu are both smart people, so they naturally understand what she means, so they don't ask and expose this topic.
"It's time for you to go back to the county seat, right?" Old Man Hua looked at Hua Siyu and asked.
Hua Siyu nodded slightly when he heard this, "Yes, I'll go back today, didn't you say before that you wanted the town's medical hall to send some medicinal materials back, and I will ask someone to send them when I return to the county seat today." ”
"Okay, be careful on your way."
Bai Qiuluo listened to the conversation between the two, and couldn't help but move slightly, and opened his mouth to ask, "Brother Hua, can I go to town with you?" When the time came, he came back with the carriage carrying the medicine. ”
"What, you want to go to town?" Hua Siyu gave her a strange look.
Immediately thought that she was only thirteen years old now, and it was the time of innocence, and curiosity and playfulness were also the norm.
He also understands the affairs of the Bai family, and he already has pity for Bai Qiuluo in his heart, but it is not easy to interfere on weekdays, so he was reluctant to refuse when she made such a small request at this time.
"Isn't it convenient? It's inconvenient and doesn't matter, I'll ......" Bai Qiuluo saw that he was silent, and was about to say that he wouldn't go.
Hua Siyu came back to his senses at this time and said with a smile: "It's not inconvenient, you can just go with me for a while." It just so happens that today is the market day, and the town is also lively. ”
Bai Qiuluo immediately responded happily when he heard this.
Speaking of which, she has never been out of Creek Village since she crossed over.
After a while, Bai Qiuluo followed Hua Siyu into the carriage and headed towards the town.
The road in Xiaoxi Village is small and bumpy, and even in a horse-drawn carriage, it is wobbly.
"Isn't it uncomfortable? Come here, lean on me, and I'll hold you. Hua Siyu had long been accustomed to such bumps, sitting as steady as Mount Tai in the carriage, seeing Bai Qiuluo with a pale face, swaying from side to side as the carriage moved forward, he couldn't help but speak.
Bai Qiuluo grabbed the wall of the carriage, looked up at him when he heard the words, and said, "I'm fine, just leave the village in a while." ”
Seeing that she was stubborn, Hua Siyu couldn't help but shake his head, and directly reached out and grabbed her arm, with a slight force, and grabbed her to sit beside him.
Pressing one hand on her shoulder, Hua Siyu said: "This road is uncomfortable, your small body can't stand the sway, sit obediently." ”
Bai Qiuluo glanced up at him, and when he saw his disapproving frown, he stopped his words and actions that he wanted to refute.
"Thank you Brother Hua for that." Bai Qiuluo smiled at him.
"You close your eyes and rest for a while, and I'll call you when it's time." Hua Siyu patted her on the shoulder and said.
In his eyes, Bai Qiuluo is a little girl worthy of sympathy, so he is a little softer to her.
Bai Qiuluo also understood this in his heart, so he didn't refuse, closed his eyes and rested on the wall of the carriage.
The carriage swayed slowly, and finally became stable after leaving the crevice mountain road of Xiaoxi Village, and it was not long before it reached the town.
"Autumn falls, autumn falls, wake up, it's here."
Bai Qiuluo's mind was groggy, feeling that someone was pushing him, and he opened his eyes with his spirit.
"Brother Hua, it's here." Bai Qiuluo opened his eyes, raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, his slender hand blocked his lips, he yawned slightly, and tears suddenly welled up in the corners of his eyes.
Hua Siyu looked slightly stunned.
The girl in front of her had a misty mist in her eyes, clean and a little confused, and her soft and glutinous voice was also very good, as if she was going to break into his heart.
"Brother Hua?" Bai Qiuluo had already woken up at this time, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and saw him staring at her, so he couldn't help but scream again.
Hua Siyu came back to his senses, coughed lightly to hide the embarrassment of being distracted, and said, "Well, it's here, let's get out of the car first." ”
After finishing speaking, Hua Siyu immediately got out of the car first.
Bai Qiuluo followed and got out of the car, and his eyes fell on the streets on both sides.
This is the first time Bai Qiuluo has seen the ancient streets.
Xiaoxi Village belongs to Qingshan Town, Qingshan Town is a small town, but when it comes to the market day, people from the surrounding villages come here to catch the market, and it is also lively.
There were vendors on both sides of the street with all kinds of items, and the cries were endless, and it was the first time for Bai Qiuluo to see this kind of scene, and his eyes couldn't help but flash a little interest.
Hua Siyu stood aside, lowered his eyes and saw the excitement in Bai Qiuluo's eyes, and couldn't help but say, "Do you want to go shopping?" I'll be with you. ”
"It's not good, Brother Hua still has something to do, don't worry about me. You go get busy first, I'll just walk around by myself. When will the carriage carrying the medicine return to the village? I'll be waiting at the inn until then. ”
In fact, Hua Siyu regretted it a little when he spoke, he was still in a hurry to go to the county seat today, and he was about to leave after going to the hospital to arrange things, and he really didn't have much time to accompany Bai Qiuluo to go shopping, Bai Qiuluo said this, but he was relieved of his siege.
"It's not a hurry to go back, I'll order someone to wait for you, but do you remember the way to the hospital?" Hua Siyu thought of Bai Qiuluo's amnesia after being injured, and asked with some worry.
Bai Qiuluo tilted his head and thought about it, "I should remember it, it doesn't matter if I don't remember, there is a medical center in the town, and when the time comes, just find someone to ask for directions." ”
"Brother Hua, you go get busy first, I'll go shopping first." Bai Qiuluo waved his hand at Hua Siyu as he spoke, and went to the town with an excited face.
Hua Siyu looked at Bai Qiuluo, who had already entered the crowd in a blink of an eye, and couldn't help laughing, and then led people towards the medical hall.
As Bai Qiuluo said, there is only one of their hospitals in the town, and he is not worried that she will not find a place to lose it.
On the other side, Bai Qiuluo left Hua Siyu and wandered the street alone.
Along the way, I saw a lot of novel gadgets, and of course, many antique objects that I can't see in modern times.
Bai Qiuluo wanted to buy it, but she decided suddenly when she came out today, she was penniless, and she really wanted to buy nothing.
Of course, even if she planned to come out in advance, with the current state of the Bai family, she would not be able to come up with money to squander it for her.
So after Bai Qiuluo walked around, after the excitement subsided, he followed his memory and walked towards the medical hall.
I didn't go far when I saw a bunch of people in front of me, and noisy voices kept coming.
