A hideaway on an island

This chapter is extra, extra, I don't know if it's a spoiler......

-- Split --

Lou Qingqing sat dignified on the steps of the cemetery, fiddling with a crystal purple bamboo flute in his hand. A lazy tiger that looked very old, but still full of wildness, lay in front of the steps, squinting and sleeping.

In the Zizhu Garden in front, her eldest brother Lou Yifan is telling fresh stories outside to those children who can't leave the island yet.

It is estimated that there are some palace trivialities such as Queen Guo and Zhang Meiren fighting again in the palace, Aunt Meng and her husband sitting on the side watching the play, for these, Lou Qingqing is not very willing to listen, the excitement of the idlers in the palace who are full of food and have nothing to do has nothing to do with her, a little woman who has never left the island of the sea for sixteen years.

"Yo, girl, what do you want?" Lou Yifan didn't know when he appeared behind Lou Qingqing, snatched the flute in her hand casually, and blew a small tune with his mouth, his voice was light and beautiful.

Lou Yifan is the kind of classical beauty who is like a waterfall and her eyes are like black jade. Lou Qingqing always felt that he was particularly attractive, "Brother, Grandpa Gongsun always shouts, saying, this world is very chaotic, people outside always love to quarrel and fight, you have been wandering outside for all these years, have you also become fond of fighting?" ”

Lou Yifan smiled, gently stretched out his finger and tapped his little sister's forehead, "Gongsun Zhi's old fox's words, you just listen to it, how can you get to the bottom of it?" ”

Seeing his eldest brother showing the same smile as his mother's mother, Lou Qingqing shuddered, and snorted a slender and slender jade arm, "Don't say it, anyway, I'm sixteen this year, I can go out, it's a big deal to see it myself." ”

Lou Qingqing squinted his eyes with a smile, revealing a mouthful of fine white teeth, shallow dimples appeared on the side of the snow cheeks, and Lou Yifan's heart was beating for a while, although this girl has not yet grown, but her stunning appearance has loomed, in the future, I don't know how many bastard boys have the idea of beating this beauty, I am afraid that it will be hard......

There was a faint burst of aroma in the air, Lou Qing's delicate Liu Ye raised her eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Sister Xiaoyan is tinkering with tea again, no, Ming'er I want to go to sea with Uncle Hai Tian, so that she won't catch me to try tea again." ”

Lou Yifan couldn't cry or laugh, "Who let you be a girl who is very particular about eating and drinking, she is born with a good tongue, and she doesn't let anyone taste it, last month, Xiaoyan sent a boatload of tea to the mountain field in Suzhou Mansion, the price is okay, it's almost enough for her two years of pocket money, that woman is interested, you really have to go out and hide." ”

Lou Qingqing chatted with his brother for a while, and then went home, and by the way, he also went to the shipyard to talk to Uncle Hai and Uncle Tian.

Uncle Hai's ancestors went to shipbuilding, he is also a family scholar, after coming here, he naturally started his old business, over the years, the shipyard has been very good, last year has been able to produce what iron ship, and what three-bladed propeller, Lou Qingqing has taken it once, and it is very fast to run. That was the time, the little girl fell in love with going to sea, and every now and then she asked Uncle Hai to go together, but she was young, her mouth was sweet, and a bunch of adults spoiled her one by one, and there was no rule on the island that women were not allowed to board the boat, so she was with her.

"Sister Qingqing, I want it too, I want it too."

"It's gone, it's gone, you little gluttons." Lou Qingqing tightly guarded the tea eggs given by Aunt Hai, which was originally full of a big bowl, but as soon as he left the house, he was robbed by the little ghosts who were playing on the beach.

"Qingqing, wake up tomorrow morning, and go to bed early tonight!" Aunt Hai sat at the window, sewing clothes for her little grandson who was not yet full moon, and watched the little girl pouting and arguing with the dolls who were less than a meter long.

"Got it." Lou Qingqing finally broke free from the entanglement of the little ghosts, escaped, hugged the already a little messy, stroked the corners of his clothes, and said with a wry smile, "These little guys are getting more and more difficult to bring, I see, Teacher A Yu and Chun Niang should give them more homework, so as to save them from making trouble everywhere." ”

After Lou Qingqing was fifteen years old, he had his own home, next to the shipyard of Uncle Hai's house, it was a small house built of wood, with a spire, milky white paint, a pink door, which looked very open, in front of the door was a path made by Uncle Ding Feng with beautiful shell fragments and colored stones, and a large area of wildflowers was planted on the side of the road, light purple, growing very prosperously, and it was also very beautiful. Aunt Hai likes this place, in addition to helping clean and cook every day, she will also take needlework, and often stay all day.

Lou Qingqing sat on the steps outside the window, peeled off a tea egg, and ate it little by little, she has been very picky about food since she was a child, if the taste is a little wrong, then it can only be stuffed into the mouth as a traditional Chinese medicine, it is because of her problem, the women who can cook on the whole island have all become chef-level characters, among them, Aunt Hai'er's craftsmanship is the best, and the simple tea eggs are made smooth and not greasy, which makes Lou Qingqing smile and squint.

She just ate while watching the children running and playing on the beach, it was dusk at this time, the sun reflected the blue sea water golden, a very quiet feeling, looking at it, Lou Qingqing didn't feel a little dazed, and vaguely remembered that her mother had told the story of the Peach Blossom Spring, here, this small island, is about everyone's paradise! It's just that no matter how good this paradise is, these young children still yearn for the colorful life outside the island!

"Let's go to the vice island the day after tomorrow, it's not as good as the island, don't run around casually!" The moon on the sea always looks very large and round. Uncle Hai's rough hand gently ran down Lou Qingqing's smooth head, and helped her tie it up with a silver strap very lightly.

"I know." Lou Qingqing touched his body and said with a smile, "Didn't I even change my clothes?" ”

The vice island also nominally belongs to Loujiazhuang, but most of the people who live on it come here to take refuge after disasters or wars, and there are also some children of the Lou family who bought domestic servants and the like. There is also a medicinal herb cultivation base, a Great Xia Dynasty doctor club, every year many people come to seek medical advice, and the mother's peers also come to play from time to time, so the biggest role of this island is to contact the outside world.

No matter how the Lou family escapes from the world, it can't really be completely cut off from the world, Liu Condition, the Lou family has industries in Beijing, Guangdong, Wuchang and several cities, and every year there will be a lot of account managers or something to report their work, and there are many relatives and friends outside the mother's family, so the existence of the vice island has a necessity, usually the island buys daily necessities or food, are traded on the vice island, and then transported back to the island with their own ships, the island has something to sell, but also through the vice island. Nowadays, when you have to deal with the people on the vice island, it is naturally impossible to be as casual as at home.

Therefore, Lou Qingqing's frequent shorts and shorts in his own house must not appear, otherwise a big hat that is immoral and immoral will be buttoned down, and it will be a big trouble. She is now wearing a long trench coat-like dress sewn by herself, with a large button made of vertical rows of fine pearls, the color of tender yellow, very bright and low-key, the right side of the waist hooked a waist bag made of whale skin, practical and beautiful, the whole body is decorated with only a jasper pendant on the belt.

"Also, when I saw the girl from the Liu family, don't mess with her, don't have a ** share."

Lou Qingqing rolled his eyes, feeling a little helpless, the three generations of the Liu family's ancestors and grandchildren are all servants of the Lou family, helping the Lou family manage the vice island, all of them have signed a death contract, and they have always been loyal, this director Liu Yue is an honest person, although the mother and father have always respected them, but the people of the Liu family have always kept their duties and took care of all the affairs on the vice island in an orderly manner.

One of his youngest granddaughters is named Liu Xiaohui, when she was young, she couldn't see anything, but when she was thirteen years old, she woke up and suddenly seemed to be a different person, she was a lot smarter, and she used to stutter a little bit before, but the whole person still looks very naïve, no, it should be said that it is more naïve than before, and the words that come out make people laugh, and she especially likes to do what Ming creates, but every time she wants to know something, she either has it, or she fails, making the family chickens and dogs jump, messy, Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu have a headache, but their mother-in-law often looks at her with a very funny and interesting gaze, which is similar to watching a play, which sometimes makes Qingqing feel that Xiaohui is a little pitiful......

I remember one year, Liu Xiaohui came up with a new style of food, the tofu pieces, quail eggs, fish skin, all kinds of vegetables into a skewer, and then fried in oil and water, coated with various seasonings, many people said that the taste is really good, but the mother doesn't eat much, again, Lou Qingqing is following Uncle Hai to the vice island to do business, Director Liu invited to eat, Liu Xiaohui personally cooked such a snack, wanted to give his grandfather a long face, but did not expect that as soon as Lou Qingqing entered his mouth, he squirted out in one mouthful, poured three cups of boiled water hard, only to barely suppress the choking smell of fireworks, and then, I didn't eat for three days, at that time, Liu Xiaohui's face was as white as a ghost, and since then I hate Lou Qingqing, every time I see it, I don't give her a good face.

Thinking of this, Lou Qingqing touched her nose, she didn't feel a little wronged, three years ago she was still young, and she couldn't control her mouth at all, if she changed now, even if she didn't like to eat, she would swallow it hard, so as not to wipe people's face, but such a small thing can be remembered now, then Liu Xiaohui's memory is really good. I am a so-called smart person who has completed her studies at the age of fourteen and has grown up with praise from several teachers, I am afraid that she will not be able to compare with her!
