Chapter 281: Exploring the Night Voice and Asking Hongyan
Xia Xia turned her head, changed the posture of her hand, her eyelashes trembled, and she opened her eyes lightly, probably not fully awake, and her eyes were slightly open unconsciously.
I pushed her and said softly, "Xia Xia, go back to your room and sleep, it's cold." β
Xia Xia sat up straight suddenly, her expression was still a little dazed, and said to me, "Sister Fei, are you back?" β
I smiled and said, "Yes, you don't have to wait for me to eat, eat first when you're hungry, and go back to your room to rest when you're tired." β
Xia Xia rubbed her eyes and said, "No, it's not that I'm not hungry, and it's tasteless to eat alone, so I'd better wait for Sister Fei to come back and eat together." β
With a sore nose, I pushed the rice to her and said, "Eat." β
Xia Xia smiled and nodded, her smile was as usual, bright and lovely, but there was so much sadness hidden in her heart, she was much more tired than me.
"Is the hooves ordered? When will I pick it up? "Xia Xia ate a lot of food, and didn't forget to put it in my bowl, which is not hungry.
"The day after tomorrow, tomorrow's good ones have been ordered, Uncle Cai said that the day after tomorrow will leave the best for us."
Xia Xia smiled: "Well, then I'll buy the ingredients tomorrow and prepare them, and I can steam, roast and fry them the day after tomorrow!" β
I nodded and said, "Well, I have to buy some flour again, the owner of the flour shop closed the stall very early a year ago, and I am afraid that I will not be able to buy it if I don't have enough like last year." β
Xia Xia nodded happily, looked at the rice in my bowl, and said, "Sister Fei has a good appetite today, she has finished eating, is it that today's dish is special?" β
"Yes, my illness has improved, and my appetite has improved."
Xia Xia flattened her mouth, and she cried with joy: "Really? It's been a long time since I've seen Sister Fei smile so happily, and I'm afraid that Sister Fei will be depressed and won't be able to come back. β
I laughed and said, "Then I'm not going to be a stuffy gourd." Hurry up and eat, clean up and rest early, there are many things to do tomorrow. You, concentrate on helping Sister Fei take care of Yan Cuo, I'll just come to other small things, I can run more to dissipate my sickness. β
Xia Xia nodded happily and said, "En, en." β
After finishing the kitchen, the sky is like ink.
Before I went to sleep, I looked back at what had happened today, and suddenly it occurred to me that if I could write a lot of words, I would write down everything that happened so that even when I was gone, they would be able to go through my notes and think back to our days together.
Song Lingjian, Han Sanxiao, Haipiao, Xia Xia, Dabao, Zheng Jewel, and ...... and Shangguan Yan, Zhu Jing, who always calls me Miss...... If I die, please remember that there was a me.
It's so strange, why am I so calm that I haven't even shed a single tear? Is it really desperate to death?
I woke up the next day and never felt so sharp.
I don't have much time, so how can I waste my life on laziness.
I went to the water room to boil water, steamed a few buns in the kitchen, Xia Xia didn't move, I couldn't help but be a little proud, it was rare that I would get up earlier than her, and after a while, she got up and saw that I had done everything she was going to be busy with, maybe she would squeak and be unconvinced.
After eating a bun, I thought that it would be still early, and it was not bright enough to sit and embroider, so I still went to the market to buy some food, and cooked a delicious meal for the big guy at noon.
As soon as I got out of the hospital, the door to the courtyard was also opened, and someone was sweeping the floor.
I whispered over, Hai Piao was sweeping the floor with a broom, it was just a very ordinary morning, but I felt that this picture seemed to be seen somewhere, very sad, very desolate.
"Got up so early, did you eat?" I leaned against the doorway and asked him.
Hai Piao turned around, still with a fresh smile on his face: "Why did Sister Fei get up so early?" I don't usually see you until noon. β
I smiled: "Isn't it a long time to steal sore bones, but you still have to get up early." I've got a lot of steamed buns hot in the kitchen, and you're hungry to get them yourself. β
Hai Piao nodded with a smile, I smiled, how can anyone stand with a broom and laugh so good?
"What about Song Lingjian? Is it better? I looked at her room and saw that the door was closed, and there was not the slightest light coming through.
"Well, I guess I didn't wake up so early. If there is something to do, Sister Fei will come to her later. β
I smiled and said, "It's fine, I'm used to asking." I'll go to the market to buy some food, and we'll eat something delicious at noon. β
Haipiao smiled and said, "Okay, I haven't eaten Sister Fei's food for a long time." β
I smiled and said, "That's right, I eat toasts every day, and I'm going to run into debt." β
Haipiao asked me seriously: "What does it mean to run debts?" β
"It's just that the debt is not repaid."
Hai Piao smiled: "Isn't this the third brother?" β
I nodded and smiled, "Yes, yes, that's the guy." β
After wandering around the market for a while, many people were surprised, saying that they hadn't seen me at this hour for a long time.
The meat stall bought some pork belly, Aunt Cai knew that I was going to make dumplings, so she had to chop me into foam and let Brother Zhuzi send it, I mentioned that the meat was indeed a bit heavy, so I didn't insist anymore, and paid a little more money for fear that they would find me, so I ran away immediately.
Back in the alley, I was amused by the virtue of running away despite overpaying for my own purchases.
"Early in the morning, only the girl will laugh alone in the alley."
A gentle voice suddenly rang out.
I looked up and around, and suddenly a man appeared around the corner.
I squinted, my heart was beating a little fast, it was the sound of the nightβ
Nightshade is disguised as someone else? Or did you use your own face? Will I be able to see what he looks like this time?
The face in the light became clearer and clearer, and I was a little disappointed - this face I recognized as the face of the little guy in the doctor's house.
"Nightshade." I tilted my head and smiled, "I haven't seen you in a long time." β
Xiao Xiao's face became familiar and gentle because of the depiction of the night sound, and he smiled at me: "In a few days, it is rare for a girl to recognize Xiao Sheng's voice. But I haven't seen each other for a few days, and the girl seems to be in a good mood. β
I laughed, "It's a day of crying and laughing, and I'm going to hate myself if I'm always depressed." β
Nightshade laughed deeply.
"You're dressed as a doctor's house, aren't you afraid of running into him?" I wondered.
Yesheng chuckled: "Don't worry, it's precisely because I won't run into it that I picked this face." β
"How do you know it's not going to happen? Could it be that he is sick? Or is it out of town? "When I went to the hospital yesterday, I really didn't see the little guy, the clinic was dusty everywhere, like no one had cleaned it for a long time, could it really be that the little guy was not there, and the doctor in charge closed the clinic without anyone to do it? Where did you go for the Chinese New Year?
Nightshade just shook his head.
"How did it appear today? Is there something wrong? β
"It's nothing, it's just a little boring, and I want to come out and talk to someone." The fingers of Yesheng's right hand bent and flicked slightly on the palm of his left hand, as if it were very pleasant. Usually he pretends to be someone else, but he doesn't have this small action, this action should be his own.
I laughed, "Do you only know me in this town?" β
Yesheng nodded: "It's useless to have many friends, but one good friend is enough." β
"Yiyou? Are you praising me? β
"Sort of."
My heart warmed: "I'm glad you treat me as a friend." β
"It's an honor for Xiaosheng to be friends with a girl."
I laughed: "I didn't expect you to say these fancy words, but you said it much better than Han Sanxiao's scoundrel." β
Yesheng laughed: "Xiaosheng is serious. By the way, how is he? β
"You walk around the alley every day, and you don't know if he's okay?" This is fresh, Yesheng actually asked me about things, how can he know my news.
Ye Sheng said: "Just think of it as a hometown cowardice, I don't want to make him suspicious so early, so Xiaosheng tries to stagger the time with him, otherwise it will be difficult to see him again in the future." β
"You really value him." I said this, but I was thinking in my heart, for so many years, I had never heard Han Sanxiao mention the person of Ye Sheng, as if in his world, all people were irrelevant, and he forgot about it with a wave of his hand, but Ye Sheng was so troubled by him.
Yesheng laughed: "Xiao Sheng believes that we have never said goodbye in his heart, but everyone remembers others in different ways. β
I nodded, yes, the name he had read in his deep dream must have been important.
I cautiously said, "Nightshade, can I ask you a question." β
"It's inconvenient for Xiaosheng to talk about his affairs, Xiaosheng should respect the past he wants to protect." Nightshade is very positional and declares it in advance.
I shook my hand and said, "No, no, I'm not trying to ask about him, I'm trying to ask you about a personβor, a name." β
"Oh?" Nightshade tilted his head sideways, a common movement for blind people.
"Do you know Hongyan?"
I felt intensely that Nightshade was shocked that his eyes, which had been perfectly concealed, were suddenly hollow.
"What's wrong? If you don't know, forget it, I'll just ask casually. "I kind of regret asking this question.
"How do you know Hongyan, what he told you?" Yesheng's voice suddenly became a little cold, and he didn't call me a girl as gently and weakly as usual, but used the word "you" very directly, which made me feel a little stiff and impulsive.
"I didn't ...... No, he didn't tell me...... It's me...... I accidentally heard it myself......" I said nervously.
"That's from his mouth, isn't it?" Nightshade asked.
I nodded, and then I felt that it was inappropriate, and responded with an "um".
"Did you ask him personally?"
I pursed my lips and said, "I asked, but he didn't tell me a few words, he must have lied to me." β
"And what did he say?"
He said...... He said that she was a fierce and petty woman, and that he owed her a lot of money, and that he ran away from home because he couldn't stand her constant debts......"
Nightshade laughed, the disguised mask covered his face, I don't know what the smile on his face was like at the moment?
Satirize? Impatient? Unbelievable? Or what?
Nightshade's reaction scared me, and I whispered, "I'm sorry, maybe I shouldn't have asked." β
Night Voice: "There is nothing to be sorry for, sometimes, people just lack the courage to ask, so that their hearts are entangled, and they feel breathless all the time." Besides, when you hear the name Hongyan, you want to know what kind of person she is, doesn't it? β
I nodded. Now I can conclude that Yesheng knew this woman named Hongyan, but his reaction was so strange that it made me even more itchy and curious.
"That'...... He must be talking nonsense, this guy always likes to smear people behind his back! "I was so angry that I crossed my back to show my indignation.
Nightshade whispered, "If it's true that he left just to escape debts, then how simple it would all be. β
"Does he really owe a lot of money? How much? "If it's just a matter of money and debt, I can help a little, but I don't have a good idea of how exaggerated Han San laughed, and I don't know how much I can help him, but it's better than nothing.
Yesheng's face suddenly sank, and he said coldly: "Not all debts can be repaid with silver. β
I was stunned, what do you mean? Didn't Han Sanxiao say that he owed her money? Do you owe something else that you can't pay? What kind of debt is that? Gas debt? Love debt? β¦β¦ Or is it a debt of life? β¦β¦ What kind of trouble can that lazy guy do?
"He owes anything but silver, and I can't help him pay it back, can I?" I asked seriously.
Nightshade didn't answer.
His refusal to answer only made me more worried.
