Chapter 20: Seeing the Purse Again

Xie Heng stopped his steps, and his voice was slightly cold: "It is naturally not wrong to admire a person, if you change to someone else, your parents can agree, and you have no right to ask questions as a teacher." ”

After speaking, he turned around and looked down at Mu Qingqing, who was crying:

"But such a perverse thing will never be allowed to come out of my Xie Yuanmen."

Mu Qingqing raised his head, and a little fire of hope ignited in his eyes: "Sir, I will leave after he finishes his studies, and when he leaves this courtyard, you and I will no longer be masters and apprentices." ”

is so obsessed, Xie Heng can't hate, his anger does not disappear but increases, and every word is fierce:

"You take advantage of it... If you are obsessed, I will not be able to keep you in this door, and you will think about it yourself. ”

After speaking, he brushed his sleeves and left, leaving Mu Qingqing to sit alone in front of the desk.

More than half a year has passed since that time, and now Mu Qingqing doesn't seem to have shown that unconcealable affection in her eyes, Xie Heng no longer cares too much when she sees her obeying the teachings like this, and the master and apprentice have returned to the very beginning of the master-apprenticeship study, as if nothing had happened.

After the two sisters saluted and handed over the song, Li Tang, who was standing behind the two, was remembered by Bai Meixue.

Today's Li Tang thought about it for a long time, and finally chose a long shirt, still tied with a free scarf, but this ivory-white brocade shirt, she wore it for the first time, which shows that she attaches great importance to this visit to Xie Heng.

Bai Meixue stepped forward with Li Tang, who had been standing:

"Sir, this is Li Tang, a close friend of the apprentice's boudoir, who was mentioned to Mr. before, who can't play but likes to listen to music."

Hearing Bai Meixue's introduction, Li Tang hurriedly stepped forward and bowed to the end to show respect:

"Mr. Jiuwen is famous, and I have the fate to meet him today, and this life is in vain." At this moment, Li Tang, who always looks naughty and doesn't care about hypocrisy, has respect in his heart.

Today's Xie Heng, although the winter cold has not yet dissipated, he is only wearing two thin clothes, an elegant and light green shirt, standing with a long body, transcendent and dusty;

The eyebrows were indifferent, the nose was straight and the lips were thin, and the official was handsome.

When Li Tang stood up straight, Xie Heng's eyes glanced at the little boy in front of him slightly, he was a little girl with beautiful eyebrows, but he was not dressed like an ordinary girl.

If you are not familiar with it, just say that this is a young man with a delicate face, wearing a brand-new tooth-colored round-necked brocade shirt, a snow-white inner collar, a brocade belt of the same color around his waist, and a silver-white purse.

When Xie Heng's eyes fell on the purse, the pupils in his eyes shrank, and his heart was slightly stunned...

The silver-white purse, from a distance may not see anything peculiar, but if you get it to your hand, you can see the mystery, because it is woven with rare silver silk, colorless flowers, embroidered into a bag without support, into the fire does not melt, see the water is not wet, the whole Ming Dynasty, only one can be made, in addition to the family, tribute is dedicated.

Others may not know, but Xie Heng couldn't be clearer, he doesn't even need to touch it in his hand to look at it, just a glance from a distance, he knows what it is.

Looking at the white purse around the waist of the little boy, Xie Heng's thoughts returned to the twenty-third Chinese New Year's Eve of the year when he was thirteen years old.

That day, with the permission of the master, Xie Heng followed his brother Xie Bai down the mountain and went to the town to catch the market, Xie Bai got up early in the morning and went around the mountain, and harvested a lot, got two rabbits and pheasants, and picked a large basket of pine mushrooms, and happily took Xie Heng down the mountain.

Xie Heng was wearing old clothes from a few years ago, although they were clean and tidy, Xie Bai always felt that they looked gray and not good-looking; As soon as he arrived in the town, he exchanged the prey and pine mushrooms for money, pulled Xie Heng and went to the ready-to-wear shop.

There are all kinds of ready-to-wear clothes in the store, Xie Bai fell in love with a plain white and bright gown at a glance, and stretched out his hand to point to the set of clothes:

"Shopkeeper, take a look at this." The shopkeeper took his clothes and handed them to him.

Xie Bai picked up the shirt and looked left and right, and then looked back and forth, then asked the shopkeeper to wrap it up, the shopkeeper looked at Xie Bai's rather tall figure in front of him, and then looked at Xie Heng behind him, although this white shirt may be a little bigger for the young man, but it is not something that a tall man like him can wear.

The shopkeeper didn't ask much, let the shopkeeper wrap it up, Xie Bai looked in the shop again, picked out a gray-blue gown, and when he was going to check out, he saw a scarf and hat on the counter, and picked out a plain white long-legged scarf.

I was very satisfied and paid the money to go out, and said to Xie Heng happily: "You must be suitable for wearing this white dress." In fact, he wanted to say that Xie Heng looked good.

Xie Heng originally thought that Xie Bai bought it for his master, but he never thought that it was for himself: "I have clothes, why should my brother waste this money for me." ”

"Why, you see that you are wearing all the clothes you bought the year before last, and there are several of my old clothes."

All along, Master and Senior Brother have been very kind to him, treating him as a real family, warming his childhood suffering:

"Thank you, brother."

Xie Bai smiled and slapped his head lightly: "Silly, what else does the family say." Then she dragged him to eat noodles.

After the two of them had eaten noodles and bought some hundred meters and flour, they went out of town and rushed to the mountains, but they did not expect that a few fast horses galloped on the road, very arrogant, and immediately a few officers and soldiers, and a group of men and horses swept by like a storm.

The two hurriedly dodged to the side, and when the horses passed by, they found that one of the horses had tied a person to the ground with a rope, and they didn't know whether they were dead or alive.

"This is still an officer and soldier, even if he commits a crime, he will be arrested and dealt with according to the law, but he tortures people like this." Seeing such behavior, Xie Bai, who was standing on the side of the road with rice noodles in his arms, was a little resentful:

"If I go to join the army one day, and kill the enemy on the battlefield to resist the invasion, I will never do such humiliating things."

This made Xie Heng a little surprised: "Senior brother, you want to join the army?" ”

Xie Bai tilted his head and asked, "I don't know what to do in the future, but we can't live in the mountains for the rest of our lives, right?" ”

Yes, they can't be in the mountains all their lives, in the future, the homes that belong to them on the mountains will also disperse, Xie Heng's heart suddenly tightened.

When the dust and smoke cleared, the two continued to walk forward, but they didn't walk for a while, when they saw a little girl of two or three years old, standing in the middle of the road and crying.

Xie Heng hurriedly stepped forward and carried the girl to the side of the road, and the girl grabbed his sleeve robe and pointed in the direction they had just come:

"Daddy, Daddy...."

The two of them immediately understood that the person who was dragged by the officers and soldiers just now was the father of this baby, and he didn't think that he was arrested for committing a crime, but that he didn't know why he was suddenly taken away.

Xie Heng picked up the dirty girl and wanted to catch up, but Xie Bai hurriedly grabbed him:

"If we run away, where can we catch up, besides, what can we do if we catch up, it will hurt this girl."

"But senior brother, do you just leave it alone?" For a moment, he had an impulsive idea to bring this female foreign capital back to the mountain, and he thought that the master and the senior brother also agreed.

It's just that he will also think that this woman is not related to him, even if he is pitiful, but it is not even his home, and if he takes her back, how can three men bring a female baby.

Xie Heng was hesitating, but he heard a sound of horses' hooves from a distance, and Xie Bai hurriedly shook him:

"Someone is coming, put it down and take a look."

There was such a barbaric thing before, where could Xie Heng rest assured that she would be picked up, just looking at Xie Bai's anxious gaze, but he couldn't, so he had to put down the crying girl.

Unexpectedly, the girl grabbed his shirt with one hand and didn't let go, Xie Bai stepped forward to help pick up the girl and put her on the side of the road, and then pulled Xie Heng to hide in the roadside forest together.

As soon as he hid in, a carriage came running at the corner of the road, and when he got closer, he found that there were several cars behind him, but the carriage was too fast, and the girl cried and walked a few steps to the middle of the road.

Xie Heng was about to rush out to save people, Xie Bai dropped the bag, grabbed him with one hand, picked up a stone with the other hand and hit the leg of the first carriage, the horse was in pain, raised his front hooves and neighed, but fortunately stopped.

After the convoy stopped, a small guy got down from the carriage, ran to the outside of the carriage behind to report, set up a stool, lifted the curtain of the car, and came down a middle-aged man, who heard the little guy report the reason, and walked to the female baby.

I bowed down and asked the girl, where could the girl answer, but she was crying, pointing forward with one hand, and shouting Daddy while pointing...

Xie Heng has been staring nervously, looking at it shouldn't be a bad person, but the good or bad of a person can't be seen at a glance or two, just looking, only to see the man squatting down and picking up the girl.

It didn't seem to be much of a dirty baby, so he coaxed her and took a brocade to wipe her tears, but she was far from being able to hear what she said, but the girl was coaxed by him, and finally took the girl and got into the carriage.

The convoy began to resume again, and after a long time, the carriages and horses were silent, and Xie Bai pulled Xie Heng back to the road:

"Let's go, it looks like the girl will be fine, Heng'er don't worry!"

Xie Heng came back to his senses, and he thought that it could only be like this, what could he do? Then he went back to the mountain with Xie Bai.

The next morning, after practicing boxing together and having breakfast, the master rested in the room, Xie Bai went to catch rabbits alone, and after Xie Heng cleaned up, he changed into the plain white shirt that Xie Bai bought yesterday, tied his hair behind his head, tied the long scarf that Xie Bai picked, and sat in the courtyard to stroke the piano.

There are no plum blossoms in autumn, and at this moment the sound of "plum blossom introduction" in the forest is far away, but it seems to hear the cold plum blossom and the snow flying all over the sky.

When Xie Bai came back with two wild gray rabbits, from outside the fence, he saw Xie Heng who was practicing.

The mountain breeze gently blows the scarf feet, the green silk wraps around the shoulders, and the young man who strokes the piano with his head on his head has grown up.

Seeing Xie Bai coming back, Xie Heng pressed the strings and said to him, "Senior brother is back!" ”

Xie Bai replied with a smile:

"Well, look, alive, not hurt at all!" He was already very good at catching rabbits earlier, but he was unscathed, but every time he came back, he had to say it in front of Xie Heng.
