Chapter 4: Holding the Scarlet in Hand (2)
Sikong Xuanyue cried and muttered willfully: "Sister Ginkgo...... Xiao Yue'er is so scared...... Don't want to see this bad mother-in-law... Why don't Sister Ginkgo hide her and hide her? ”
In Ginkgo's eyes, Sikong Xuanyue's unintentional absurd words seemed to make her wake up from a dream and find a solution. Gritting his teeth, he suddenly raised his firm stalk, and said to himself: "Backyard, there is a bamboo forest in the backyard, and no one goes anywhere all year round." ”
Sikong Xuanyue lay on her little face on her shoulder, smiling very happily, very satisfied with Ginkgo's transformation, and the child can be taught.
But she pretended not to understand: "Sister Ginkgo wants to hide the bad mother-in-law in the bamboo forest?" ”
Ginkgo pushed Sikong Xuanyue's shoulders away with both hands, her eyes were firm, she hurriedly vetoed, and said seriously: "No! Little lady Yue, you listen to the slave maid, stay here and don't run around, wait for the slave and maid to hide this bad mother-in-law, and then come to look for you, okay? ”
Sikong Xuanyue pursed her mouth, looked aggrieved, and nodded obediently.
Only then did Ginkgo relax and breathe a sigh of relief, and hurriedly moved Liu's mother's body.
Thanks to Mama Liu, she is not as fat as Mama Wang, her body is thin, and Ginkgo is now fifteen or sixteen years old.
"Sister Ginkgo, why is there a room full of red ink on her body?" Sikong Xuanyue still cried and asked innocently.
Ginkgo felt 'groaning' in her heart, hurriedly squatted down, lifted the coat on Liu's mother's body, and wrapped her head, so she was relieved. Chong Sikong Xuanyue pulled a smile that was uglier than a ghost:
"Xiao Yue'er~ Can you do the slave a favor? Help me clean up the red ink from the house? If Xiao Yue'er cleans up, can you wait for the slave to find halva for you to eat? ”
Sikong Xuanyue licked her lips, looking like she was about to move because of the quid pro quo. The fleshy little hand wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and nodded obediently.
Ginkgo was relieved and continued to drag Liu's mother's body out.
……
Seeing the ginkgo completely disappear into the garden, Sikong Xuanyue sighed, finally didn't act in vain, it's really difficult to be a child.
He took a rag and wrung it several times in the dilapidated basin containing the leaky roof, until the blood stains on the ground were wiped clean and the rain in the wooden basin turned black and red.
Dragging the heavy wooden basin to the door, it took all the strength to carry the basin out, and with a 'bang', splashed the dirty water on the ground in the yard.
Sikong Xuanyue sat under the eaves, panting, his body was really weak, he had no strength, he must make up for it in the future, and it would be better to grow stronger. Looking up at the sparkling sky, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the pouring rain must have quickly washed away the basin of blood.
……
When I came to the bamboo forest, Ginkgo was digging a pit in the rain with a shovel.
Sikong Xuanyue looked at Ginkgo from afar with a broken umbrella for a long time before walking over, she was thinking about how she could not settle accounts with Ginkgo after Aunt Su found out that Mother Liu was dead.
Today's actions are indeed too impatient, but she really doesn't want such a good maid as Ginkgo to die, she knew that she didn't pretend to be unconscious, she got up and fought hard, and maybe she couldn't get out of bed for two or three months like in her previous life!
However, she is too aggrieved to do this.
……
When Ginkgo saw someone coming, she pretended to be calm, wiped the rain on her face, and was a little surprised: "Little lady Yue, you ...... How did it come? ”
In Ginkgo's heart, she is just a mentally handicapped child.
A bolt of lightning swept through the air.
Then there was a 'boom', and the thunder was deafening.
The shovel in Ginkgo's frightened hand fell into the puddle, and reflexively squatted down to hug Sikong Xuanyue, and her whole body trembled.
The corners of Sikong Xuanyue's mouth twitched, and the broken umbrella in her hand moved inappropriately towards her, as if the child couldn't hold it steadily.
"Sister Ginkgo is also afraid of thunder! Don't be afraid...... Don't be afraid, Xiao Yue'er protects you. ”
Hearing Sikong Xuanyue's comfort, Ginkgo Biloba tearfully pinched Sikong Xuanyue's little face, and felt a little ashamed, not even a stupid baby: "The little lady is so good, what the slave told you, can you do it well?" ”
Seeing Sikong Xuanyue nodded obediently.
Ginkgo pushed Sikong Xuanyue's little body: "You go back quickly, go back to the little lady's room and stay, and Ginkgo will look for you after processing." ”
Looking at Ginkgo's firm eyes, Sikong Xuanyue felt a little distressed in her heart, Ginkgo was really a good maid, which reminded her of the spirit cherry blossom that followed her in her previous life. is also such a loyal protector of the Lord, and guards what she tells with her life, and today's Ginkgo is exactly what she commands to protect Sister.
