Chapter 7: Ice Spirit (3) The Past
Zhang Ziyu, who was standing on the side, looked at the scene that suddenly happened in front of him, and didn't know what to say for a while, "You guys...... Know? He looked at Ah Qiu and then at the man lying on the bed crying silently, wondering if he had kicked a little hard just now.
Ah Qiu turned her head when she heard the voice, looked at Zhang Ziyu with tears in her eyes and explained: "This is Sister Xue, a good friend of me and Brother Cheng, and a former helper in the store, she is back now." ”
Zhang Ziyu couldn't see others shed tears, looked at the two people crying in front of him, and said casually: "Your world is really difficult to understand." ”
He pulled a stool and sat down on the spot, cocked Erlang's legs, and then complained, "A few days ago, that guy Zicheng changed into a girl and scared me, and now you have changed into a big man, so I don't know if the next person I meet is a man or a woman, and this is in front of me." ”
Zhang Ziyu was halfway through speaking, stopped, looked at Ah Qiu in front of him, raised his eyebrows, and showed a wicked smile, "Little girl? ”。
Seeing Zhang Ziyu looking at him like this, Ah Qiu shuddered and hurriedly raised a hand, "Brother Yu, Brother Yu, I swear that I am a serious old man, you have to believe me." He sniffled as he spoke.
Zhang Ziyu pursed his mouth in disappointment, glanced at Ah Qiu, and pretended to be disgusted, "Go and go, what kind of old man are you, you are just a little broken child." ”
"Poof."
Hearing the laughter, the two stopped arguing, and at the same time looked at the man lying on the bed, only to see that the man was smiling at the two of them, and the expression on his face was much calmer, no longer as sad as just now.
Zhang Ziyu stepped forward, squatted beside the man, took out a tissue from his butt pocket, and wiped the tears on the man's face, "It looks much better this way, the young lady smiles more, and when she comes back, she is a big beauty again." ”
"You." The man looked at Zhang Ziyu with an inexplicable sense of relief, he smiled slightly, "With you with him, I will be relieved." ”
"Ah Qiu, is this someone kicking the gym?" Before I saw anyone, Brother Cheng's voice came from afar, and then there was a "jingle bell", "Oh, I'll go!" Then Brother Cheng limped in front of them, "What are you doing?" ”
Brother Cheng just stepped into the room with his front feet, looked at the scene in front of him, stepped out again, grabbed the door frame with both hands and stuck half of his head in, and asked softly, "I...... Is it bothering you? ”
"Huh?" Zhang Ziyu looked at Brother Cheng, stood up, looked at the tissue in his hand and looked at Ah Qiu's appearance, thinking about the scene that Brother Cheng might have seen when he came in just now - he was wiping the tears of a big man, and Ah Qiu held the hand of a big man and knelt on the side of the bed and cried a handful of snot and tears......
Belch...... Three big men...... It seems to be a little ......, "Damn, what do you want!" You pervert! Zhang Ziyu seemed to suddenly think of something, crumpled the tissue in his hand into a ball, and smashed it at Brother Cheng.
With the weight of the tissue, of course, it couldn't hit him, Brother Cheng walked over to the three of them with a smirk, and the moment he saw the man, the smile on his face froze, and turned into a distressed face, "Xue, you're back." ”
"How do you know it's me?" The man looked at the man in front of him and blinked.
"I recognize your eyes, and no matter what you look like, they're always crystal clear, just like they were when I first saw you." Brother Cheng walked to the side of the bed, bent down, and gently touched the man's hair with his hand, and the frost crawled down the hair to Brother Cheng's hand, covering his entire hand in a blink of an eye.
"You guys?" Brother Cheng put his hand in front of his eyes, looked back and forth, and then clenched his fists hard, only to see that the frost on his hand faded little by little, and when he opened it again, the frost had completely disappeared, "What's wrong with him?" Brother Cheng turned his head, looked at the man and asked softly.
"He's not good." The man closed his eyes, tears streaming down his eyes, "But I don't regret it, meeting him is the best thing in my life." ”
Go back 10 years......
In the kitchen, a girl with a very thin back was chopping vegetables in front of the board, "Whoa, whoa." Suddenly, a cloud of dust mixed with impurities fell directly above her head, and the girl could not dodge, and was doused from top to bottom.
"Ahem. What are these guys doing? She ran out of the kitchen, patting the dirt on her body and hair, and raised her head to the roof and said, "Ah Qiu, Ah Qiu, stop chasing!" ”
"I'm about to catch him, Xiaoxue." Ah Qiu, who was on the roof, put his hands on the eaves, poked his head out, said to the girl standing under the house, turned around and disappeared, "Give Xiaoxue's hairpin back to her!" ”
"Don't give it!" A chubby, round black ball stuck out its tongue at Ah Qiu and ran away.
The girl in front of her, about twenty years old, had big sparkling eyes, a high nose, long black hair, and a long white dress.
"Don't make a fuss, you two come down!" The girl looked at the two figures chasing back and forth on the roof, and was very worried about their safety, "If you two jump a few more times, I'm afraid our kitchen will collapse!" ”
Hearing the girl say this, the two people on the roof stopped their movements at the same time, lay on the roof, and poked their heads out.
"You two, come down for me!" The girl pointed to her dusty hair and clothes, "Look at the good things you have done. ”
Ah Qiu knew that he was wrong, and climbed down the ladder on the side in a daze, while the other guy made a grimace at the girl, "Slightly." "Retracted his head, gone.
The girl walked up to Ah Qiu and pulled his hair twice with her hand, "You! Hundreds of years old, still chasing it. ”
"I don't care! I was fifteen. Ah Qiu straightened her messy hair and pouted.
"You, I can't help you! Let's eat first. The girl smiled, took Qiu's hand, and walked to the kitchen.
In the kitchen, there are two dishes and chopsticks on the dining table, a pot of rice is steaming, and a plate of dishes on the table looks very delicious.
"I originally wanted to stir-fry another dish, but I ruined it all, and today there is only this one dish to eat." The girl stretched out her hand to fill Ah Qiu's bowl with rice and put it in front of him, when she suddenly had an idea and wanted to take advantage.
She propped up the table on her elbows and leaned in front of Ah Qiu's face with a wicked smile, "Ah Qiu, you are only fifteen years old, then, little brother, tell Sister Xue to listen?" ”
"I don't want to scream, Xiaoxue, you are much younger than me!" Ah Qiu raised her eyes and looked at the girl, and was about to pick up the vegetables, only to see her pull up the plate and hold it beside her, "I just said that I was a teenager, don't scream, don't eat!" ”
"You!" Ah Qiu held the chopsticks and stretched out his arms, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't reach the food, "Okay, okay." Ah Qiu put down his chopsticks and clasped his hands in front of his chest, "Okay...... Sister Xue! ”
"That's right, little brother." The girl put down the plate, touched Ah Qiu's head, and laughed. "In the future, I have to listen to my sister."
When the two were fighting, Brother Cheng walked in, he walked to the table, sat down, and looked sad, "I went out to take a look today, and the situation outside is still not optimistic." ”
Sister Xue got up and took out another pair of dishes and chopsticks from the cupboard on the side and placed them in front of him, "Brother Cheng, you came back at the right time, just in time for lunch." ”
Brother Cheng picked up the bowl and took a bite of food, "Some time ago, there was a great drought, and the harvest in everyone's field has decreased, and there have been more and more people who have come to our trading house to exchange money recently. ”
"yes, it's not easy for everyone. If only we could give them food to eat. Sister Xue held her head with her hands and muttered.
"If these are given to them to eat, they will blur the line between their own spirits and the spirits of the outside world, and they may encounter more troublesome things than they do now." Brother Cheng sighed, "It's difficult." ”
"yes, I know that too." Sister Xue said casually.
"Bang Bang Bang" A sudden and rapid knock on the door interrupted their conversation, "Open the door, please save me, I need money." Hearing someone talking, Sister Xue put down the dishes and chopsticks, walked to the front yard, and opened the door of the store.
"Help me, I need money." As soon as a man with a yellow face and thin skin and ragged clothes saw Sister Xue, he knelt in front of her with a "tom".
The man took out something wrapped in rags from his arms, held it up in front of Sister Xue, and looked at her with begging eyes, "Please, take it, I need money." ”
"What's wrong?" Brother Cheng and Ah Qiu also rushed over when they heard the sound.
"I don't know, No, he gave me this." Sister Xue pointed at the man and put the thing in front of their eyes.
"Open it and take a look." The two said in unison.
Sister Xue gently opened the rag layer by layer, only to see that there was a piece of mud inside, which was in the shape of a long strip, exuding bursts of cold.
