Chapter 658: By the Lake
The turmoil of Tang Xi's marriage has only subsided for more than a month.
And these are not trivial matters.
She gets up late and goes to bed early every day, eats and drinks, and is very comfortable.
The Tang family can't take care of her now, or they don't want to take care of her, so they let her live happily alone.
Mingwei wanted to do her duty as a guest, but she wanted to see the old lady several times, but she was stopped.
In that case, why should she be disliked?
In April, Yidu enters the rainy season.
Mingwei pushed open the window and saw that it was raining outside, so he asked the two maids: "How about we go out for a cruise?" ”
"Now?" The snow parrot's eyes widened, "Miss Mingqi, it's raining!" ”
"It's only when it's raining that you want a cruise!" Ming smiled, "Wouldn't it be nice for the passenger boat to listen to the rain?" ”
"......" Snow Parrot is a normal person, and he can't appreciate this kind of neurotic behavior, but he was assigned to serve Miss Ming Qi, and he was obedient.
Haiyan thought of a question.
Miss Ming Qi is not a guest, so the master will not let her go out?
She wanted to speak and stopped, Mingwei saw it, and said with a smile: "You go and ask." ”
Haiyan breathed a sigh of relief and responded, "Yes." ”
After a while, Haiyan came back and told the puffin, "Clean up." ”
It's what it means to be able to go out.
So the two of them took the things they should bring and followed Mingwei out.
In the middle, someone called Ji Xiaowu, but this kid was sleeping and refused to get up.
Mingwei took the two maids, Shi Shiran walked out of the Tang Mansion from the corner gate, and went to the river with an umbrella.
On a rainy day, business was not doing well, and when the boatman heard that she was going to rent a boat, he happily gave a large pot of cherries.
Mingwei sat in the boat with two maids, listening to the rain and nibbling on cherries.
When she had eaten to her heart's content, she rinsed her mouth and cleaned her hands and took out her flute.
The sound of the flute was accompanied by the sound of rain, and the boat slid into the big lake in the center of Yidu City.
The smoke and rain were misty, and a dam crossed the lake.
There was a woman standing in a pavilion at the end of the embankment.
The snow parrot opened the hatch, looked at the man, and said strangely: "It's raining, what is this man standing there for?" ”
At this moment, there was an intermittent cry.
Haiyan said: "Look at her hands, it seems to be holding a child." ”
The two maids looked in, and sure enough, they saw a swaddling baby in the woman's arms.
The puffin was even more strange: "Why do you want to bring your baby here?" It's not going to be ......"
The two looked at each other and shouted in unison, "Boatman, get over there!" ”
After shouting, the snow parrot realized that there was still someone on the boat, and hurriedly said: "Miss Ming Qi, that person is weird, let's go and see it, okay?" ”
Mingwei had stopped the sound of the flute at this time and looked at the other side of the embankment.
The woman was dressed in cloth, very thin, and the baby in her arms let out intermittent cries, and her little hands and feet broke out of swaddling clothes from time to time.
But she remained motionless, like a statue.
"You suspect she's going to throw that kid?"
"yes!" "When it's raining, no one will come to play in the lake, and she doesn't look like a person who can play." ”
Haiyan agreed: "That child looks very small, maybe not yet full moon, who will take it out to play?" ”
The two said in unison: "Miss Mingqi, save him!" ”
Mingwei sighed: "Then let's go." ”
The boat was getting closer and closer to the embankment, but Mingwei's brow was furrowing more and more.
She had a quirky feeling......
Before the boat arrived, the puffet cried out, "Look, there's a man coming!" ”
Mingwei looked in the direction she pointed, and her heart sank suddenly.
The man, dressed in a gray robe, fluttered in the wind, as if he would return in the next moment.
He walked towards the other side of the embankment, which seemed slow, but in the blink of an eye he reached the Pavilion of the Viewing Lake.
The woman jerked her head back and shouted, "Don't come here!" ”
The man in gray stopped.
The boat was near, and they could clearly see what was going on in the pavilion.
The woman was in her early twenties, dressed in a blue cloth garment, with a cloth scarf wrapped around her head. His appearance was excellent, but his expression was very haggard. At this time, he grabbed the baby in his arms and looked very excited.
The puffet snorted, pinched Haiyan's hand, and said nervously, "She won't throw the child out, will she?" ”
Mingwei didn't speak, and looked at the situation in the pavilion fixedly.
The man in gray sighed, stretched out his hand to her, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, give me the child." ”
The boat turned, and the three of them saw the appearance of the man in gray, and the snow parrot gasped and exclaimed, "His face ......"
This gray-clothed man looked like he was in his forties, his hair was mixed with silver threads, and his left cheek had a large scar, which looked very terrifying.
Mingwei grabbed the flute in his hand suddenly.
The puffin and the petrel are talking in whispers.
"What is their relationship?"
"This person wants her to hand over the child, is she a bad person?"
"I don't look like it, although this uncle looks scary, his temperament is very good, you see ......"
"But it's strange for them to do that. Do you say that this child was born to this sister-in-law? She is dressed like this, does she look like a confinement? ”
"It seems to be ......"
"Since she gave birth to it, why did she bring it to the lake on a rainy day? Aren't you afraid that your child will catch a cold? ”
"yes."
"This uncle is also weird, who is he? Husbands and wives are not like husbands and wives, and fathers and daughters are even less like fathers and daughters......"
Mingwei's mind had already flown away, and she looked at the man in gray motionlessly, carving his appearance into her heart bit by bit. Then he went to see the woman and the child in her arms......
How so? What the hell is going on?
The woman grabbed the child in her arms and stared at him nervously: "Don't come, don't come......"
The man in gray said softly: "Okay, I won't go." Be careful of the child, the rain is spilling in, come over a little, okay? ”
The woman lowered her head, and the rain drifted into the pavilion and fell on the child's face.
She hesitated for a moment, then took a slow step forward.
In this way, the rain will not reach the child.
The man in gray stared at her and continued to say softly, "It's noon, you haven't eaten yet, have you?" Shall we go and eat first? ”
There was a hint of confusion in the woman's eyes, and she repeated, "Eat? ”
"Yes, eat. People want to eat when they are hungry, and you don't eat what your children have to eat......"
The child in his arms cried loudly as if in response to his words.
The gray-clothed man's hideous face showed a loving expression: "Ah Liu, you see that she is hungry." ”
"Hungry," the woman muttered, looking down at the child's tongue as if she remembered something, "yes, the child is hungry and needs to be fed......"
"That's right," the man in gray continued, "go back quickly, it's time to nurse the baby." ”
"Go back......" the woman said, raising her steps.
"No!" She stopped suddenly, grabbed the swaddling hand with extreme force, and the child began to cry.
"Aliu!" I don't know if it's because of the child's crying, the man in gray screamed a little louder.
This seemed to irritate the woman, and she jerked back, leaning her back against the pillar, and clutching the child in her arms tightly: "No, I can't go back, demons, all demons!" ”
She looked down at the child with a twisted look of fear on her face, and her grip on the child's hand grew harder and harder, as if it were such a terrible thing.
"Death, all have to die......"
"Aliu!"
The woman turned and jumped out.
