Chapter Twenty-Three: Qin Jin Village
After resting at the inn for one night, early the next morning, after breakfast, Gong Qingyang took Xu Siyu to the dock.
There are a lot of people on the street, and the sound of people coming and going is very chaotic and endless; Xu Siyu held the puppy with one hand, and grabbed Gong Qingyang's hand tightly with the other, so many people, she was a little scared, obviously a little scared.
The two shuttled through this flow of people, Gong Qingyang was also a little worried, afraid that Xu Siyu would get lost, so his hand also grabbed her a few points, and when they arrived at the dock, there were more people, and it was a little crowded.
With the crowd of people, after a long time, the two of them got on a boat that was not very large, although the boat was not very large, but there were many people on board, judging from their clothes, they should almost all be refugees who had fled.
There were a lot of people in the cabin, Gong Qingyang found a seat and sat down, Xu Siyu was obviously a little scared, and her small body shrank into Gong Qingyang's arms, and at this time, a young man with a little dark skin entered her sight.
The young man's age seemed to be a few years older than Xu Siyu, but he was quite tall, and at this time he was carrying a somewhat large luggage, which was obviously a little heavy, and the young man's somewhat dark face showed a lot of sweat.
The young man was carrying the luggage, his face was almost covered with sweat, and under the instruction of a middle-aged man, he put the luggage in one place, and the middle-aged man took out a few copper plates in his arms and handed them over.
The young man took the copper plate, hurriedly smiled and bent down to thank him, and then happily walked off the boat. In contrast, what would have happened if she hadn't been taken in by Gong Qingyang?
Soon the ship sailed, and in the voyage of more than half a month, it passed through more than ten piers, stopping at each pier, some people disembarked, some people boarded, and finally arrived at Binh Duong Pier.
The two got off the boat, and on the boat, Xu Siyu also knew that Gong Qingyang's home was not in Pingyang City, but in a village called 'Qin Jin Village' not far from Pingyang City.
I wanted to stay in Pingyang City for a while, but Xu Siyu was a little anxious to go home and wanted to see what it was like, Gong Qingyang had no choice but to eat something after getting off the boat, and then left Pingyang City, and walked for almost an hour before arriving at Qinjin Village.
Qinjin Village is a large village, with hundreds of households, and almost all the houses are in good health, some of which are dense.
Gong Qingyang took Xu Siyu's little hand and walked slowly on the streets of Qinjin Village, there were scattered pedestrians on the streets, not many, but also a lot, Xu Siyu looked around a little timidly.
Gong Qingyang suddenly stopped, looked at a pharmacy next to the street, frowned slightly, and then an old man's voice came into his ears: "Yo! Isn't this Dr. Gong? Why did you come back, do you still want to leave? ”
Hearing the inquiry, Gong Qingyang looked in the direction where the voice came from, and Xu Siyu also looked over and found that it was an old man.
Seeing this person, Gong Qingyang's slightly furrowed brows also stretched, and he said with a smile: "If you don't go out, you can't run." By the way, I've only been out for a few months, and I've come back, why did the old Chen family's tailor shop open a pharmacy? ”
When the old man heard this, Ye lost his smile on his face, and said helplessly: "Doctor Gong, do you know who opened this shop?" ”
"Who?" Gong Qingyang was puzzled and frowned.
The old man sighed and said, "Li Yuanwai's house in Pingyang City!" ”
Gong Qingyang frowned, he had heard that this Li Yuanwai, his family was very rich, and he was a tyrant in Pingyang City, and asked again at the moment: "What about Lao Chen and his family?" ”
"I was driven away and rushed to the end of the village, not far from your house." The old man sighed again.
Gong Qingyang had to sigh, this kind of thing is the most helpless, that Li Yuanwai's sister is married to the Pingyang superintendent, and even the county order has to give him some face, so it is useless to report to the official.
At this time, the old man noticed that a little girl held by Gong Qingyang was puzzled: "This is..?" ”
"Oh, this is my granddaughter." Gong Qingyang explained.
Looking at this little girl who was a little scared, the old man also knew Gong Qingyang's situation, and also knew that he was kind, and after chatting a few words again, the old man said goodbye.
Gong Qingyang looked at the pharmacy, sighed, and led Xu Siyu to continue walking, Xu Siyu was a little puzzled, and also looked at the pharmacy.
Gong Qingyang is a doctor, and he also has some fame in this Qinjin Village, and there are many people on the street who greet him, but every time he will look at Xu Siyu with strange eyes, so that Xu Siyu is a little afraid to look up, and there is even an eldest lady who said: "Doctor Gong, your granddaughter is good, otherwise, how about being my daughter-in-law in a few years." ”
When he arrived at the end of the village, Gong Qingyang also went to visit the tailor Lao Chen, and when the family saw that Xu Siyu was praising her for her good looks, Xu Siyu didn't even dare to raise her head, and kept her head down.
Seeing the little girl beside him who had been lowering her head, Gong Qingyang shook his head a little helplessly; Before leaving, he asked the tailor Lao Chen to make a few clothes for Xu Siyu, and also took care of his business by the way.
Walking on the street, Gong Qingyang looked at it helplessly, holding the puppy and lowering his head, Xu Siyu sighed and said, "Girl, why don't you speak?" ”
Xu Siyu lowered his head, pursed his lips, and did not answer. Gong Qingyang sighed again and continued to walk forward with her. His home is on the hillside at the end of the village, and it can be reached in half an hour by following the bluestone path.
As soon as I stepped on the bluestone path, I hadn't walked a few steps when I saw a young girl walking down the stairs of the path.
The girl was holding a bamboo basket on her arm, and when she saw the two of them, she was slightly stunned, and then a smile appeared on her delicate and immature face, and she said in a soft voice: "Doctor Gong, you're back!" Who is this little girl....? ”
"This is my granddaughter, I don't like to talk much, Lin Qing girl, what are you doing here?" Seeing this girl who was not older than Xu Siyu, Gong Qingyang also said with a smile.
The girl named Lin Qing replied with a smile: "My little sister likes flowers, so I went to the mountains to get some." While speaking, he also walked down quickly, came to Gong Qingyang's side, and then leaned down and tilted his head, looked at Xu Siyu who lowered his head, and said softly: "It seems that I am a little afraid of life." ”
"Little girl, what's your name?" Looking up at the little girl holding a puppy, Lin Qing asked with a smile.
Xu Siyu lowered his head, his eyes went up slightly, and he glanced at the girl's sunny smile, and then his eyes quickly retracted, pursed his lips, and said in a small voice: "Xu Siyu...."
"Well, that's a nice name!" Listening to that small voice, Lin Qing smiled, and then in the bamboo basket, he took out a small flower and handed it over: "Give it to you." ”
Looking at the girl with a sunny smile, Xu Siyu suddenly felt a little inferior, and stretched out her little hand to take the flower.
"How is your father's illness now, is he committing it?" Looking at this scene, Gong Qingyang also smiled and asked out loud.
Hearing the inquiry, Lin Qing stood up and said with a smile: "No, it's much better, now I send letters every day, and there is nothing at all, thanks to Dr. Gong." ”
"Haha, it's good that you didn't commit it."
Lin Qing also smiled sweetly: "This little girl is very interesting, I will come to play with her tomorrow." ”
Hearing that he was going to play with himself, Xu Siyu immediately raised his little face and looked at the girl who was smiling like a sunny smile, and then the girl smiled sweetly at him, Xu Siyu immediately lowered his head, and he didn't dare to look directly.
Xu Siyu has not played with her since she was a child, only Lin Yu, the people in the village don't know why they hate her, every time they see herself, they scold themselves for being a little wild seed, saying that their mother is a fox spirit.....
Xu Siyu took a sip and didn't dare to raise her head again, in fact, she still wanted to raise her head and look at the pretty face with a sunny smile, but she didn't have the courage in her heart.....
After Lin Qing said goodbye and left, Xu Siyu still stood motionless with his head down, Gong Qingyang was a little puzzled when he saw this, and asked, "Girl, what's wrong with you?" ”
Xu Siyu came back to his senses, raised his little face, and shook it.
Looking at the expressionless little face, Gong Qingyang sighed in his heart: "If only the girl was as cheerful as Lin Qing's girl." ”
"Girl, let's go, I'll be home soon." A smile appeared on Gong Qingyang's old wrinkled face, and he said.
Xu Siyu nodded slowly, and then Gong Qingyang took her little hand and slowly walked up the bluestone staircase.
