Chapter 116: Lucky
In the end, he has been with Xu Sanlang for the longest time, and the two of them have always relied on each other, and their dependence on him is still too strong, Cheng Xi thought so.
Now that Xu Sanlang left suddenly, and he didn't know the return date, Cheng Xi felt that in this strange place, he still had to be more independent.
Cheng Xi made up his mind in his heart that he must cheer up, first of all, he must take care of himself, and he can't toss himself like this anymore.
I have to say that Cheng Xi's thoughts are still very positive, and if he finds that he has a problem, he is ready to correct it in time.
Cheng Xi was immersed in his thoughts, Cheng Dagui on the side looked at Cheng Xi, who was staring at the roof for a long time without saying a sound, but he was worried, and called Cheng Xi a few times, but Cheng Xi didn't agree, Cheng Dagui was anxious and was about to ask someone to ask for a doctor again, but Cheng Xi came back to his senses at this time.
"Dad, I'm fine, I'm worried about you."
Cheng Dagui saw that Cheng Xi had finally returned to normal, and finally breathed a sigh of relief, and asked worriedly, "Do you feel uncomfortable?" Hungry, right? Your Aunt Wu made something to eat, and I asked her to bring it in for you. ”
Cheng Xi nodded, "Dad, don't worry, it's not a serious illness, just rest and rest, and I will pay attention to it myself in the future." ”
Cheng Dagui nodded very gratefully, "My Xi'er has really grown up, but it just hurts you, hey......"
Cheng Xi showed a smile and said coquettishly, "Dad, I'm hungry!" ”
Cheng Dagui hurriedly responded, "You wait, it's next door, I'll call it, I'm afraid they will disturb your rest, so I will blast them out." ”
After a while, Wu brought the warm food in the pot, as well as the boiled medicine, and when Cheng Xi finished eating and drinking the medicine, it was already dark, Cheng Dagui Wu said that he wanted to stay and take care of Cheng Xi, but Cheng Xi refused, and it was not a serious illness, and she only had two rooms here, and they had no place to stay.
After sending Cheng Dagui and the Wu family away, Cheng Xi said to Xiong Er on the side, "What about Xu Lan and the hundred-year-old?" ”
Xiong Er responded, "Your father and mother don't like Xu Lan and 100 years old, so Aunt Liu let Xu Lan go over to her side at 100 years old." ”
Cheng Xi frowned slightly, the Cheng family originally didn't want to see Xu Sanlang, but now that Xu Sanlang left suddenly, there was no news, and the Cheng family's hearts were even more unhappy, Xu Lan was the Xu family, and the hundred years old was Xu Sanlang's nephew, Xu Sanlang was not there, and I was afraid that I would be angry with them.
Although Cheng Xi felt that they were innocent, but if the Cheng family wanted to think like this, Cheng Xi couldn't control it, and sighed, Cheng Xi said to Xiong Er on the side, "Go and call them back." ”
As soon as the hundred-year-old entered the door, he threw himself into Cheng Xi's arms, he promised Sister Lan not to cry, but he couldn't help but keep shedding tears, Cheng Xi looked very distressed, she saw panic in the eyes of the hundred-year-old, just like when she first came here.
Aunt Liu followed behind the two, seeing that Cheng Xi had already gotten up and sat at the table, her face was much better, and her heart was a lot more steady, and she instructed, "You have to recuperate well in the future, you are still growing at this age, where can you be so tired and dizzy?" ”
Cheng Xi replied with an apologetic smile, "Let Aunt Liu worry about me." ”
Aunt Liu sighed, "It's not too early, you guys should rest early, and I'll go back too." ”
Cheng Xi nodded, "Aunt Liu, walk slowly." ”
After Aunt Liu left, Cheng Xi patted the back of the hundred-year-old who was nested in his arms, and comforted him in a low voice, "Isn't it sad to be a hundred-year-old, don't you think your sister-in-law is good?" ”
Bai Sui finally couldn't help but sobbed and cried, and muttered in his mouth, "I'm afraid, I'm afraid that my sister-in-law won't wake up after falling asleep like my grandmother." ”
Cheng Xi was stabbed in the heart by the words of the hundred-year-old, hugged the hundred-year-old in distress, and said softly, "Sister-in-law promised the hundred-year-old that the sister-in-law will be well and will always accompany the hundred-year-old, so the hundred-year-old will not cry, okay?" ”
Bai Sui raised his head to look at Cheng Xi, then raised his sleeve and wiped his eyes vigorously, and his eyes that had just been wiped were instantly overflowing with tears, but he tried not to fall down, and choked up, "Bai Sui is obedient, don't cry." ”
Cheng Xi looked at such a well-behaved hundred-year-old, his heart warmed, and he asked with a smile, "Can you eat?" ”
Bai Sui shook his head, and Xu Lan on the side said, "Aunt Liu cooked, but Bai Sui didn't eat, saying that her sister-in-law didn't eat either, and she had to wait for her sister-in-law to eat together." ”
Cheng Xi rubbed his hundred-year-old head distressedly, and said to Xu Lan on the side, "There should be food in the kitchen, you can go and heat it up." ”
Xu Lan nodded, and then went to the kitchen, Cheng Xi looked at Xiong Er on the side, with a look of wanting to say something, Cheng Xi opened his mouth and asked, "What's wrong?" Say whatever you want. ”
Xiong Er lowered his head and responded, "Small, I'm afraid I won't be able to follow Mrs. Xu in the future, I didn't take care of you this time, the crescent moon said, let the little one go back and send someone over again." ”
Cheng Xi is actually quite satisfied with this Xiong Er, who is honest and down-to-earth, she wants to leave people behind, but people are more than rich in the end.
Cheng Xi looked at Xiong Er and asked, "How did you follow Yu Gongzi?" ”
Xiong Er recalled the past, and responded with some sadness, "When I was young with my brother, the family suffered a disaster, my father and mother were gone, my brother and I lived on the streets, and were arrested by human traffickers and left into slavery, at that time my brother and I were young, and we hated that the traffickers arrested us, so we deliberately did not meet the intentions of the traffickers, whenever someone came to buy us, we behaved very fiercely, and we grew strong, no one dared to buy us, and then we were beaten by human traffickers, and then we were all transferred to Anyang County, when the son was still young, He came to the tooth shop and said that he wanted to buy two slaves to help him fight, and the traffickers seized the opportunity and sold the two of us brothers to the son. ”
After listening to what happened to Xiong Er, Cheng Xi felt that she was actually lucky, at least her identity was quite normal, she was not a slave, and there were many family members who cared about her, "I didn't expect your life to be so bumpy." ”
Xiong Er replied with a smile, "It is also a blessing for me and my brother to meet Childe, Childe is very good to us." Except for the occasional bad taste, Xiong Er silently added a sentence in his heart, thinking of the unknown punishment he might face this time, Xiong Er's heart was a little hairy.
Cheng Xi said, "If I let you follow me, are you willing?" ”
Xiong Er nodded hurriedly, "Of course I do." ”
Xiong Er is a hundred willing in his heart, if he says that he has a good life with his son-in-law, then following Cheng Xi, he feels that life is not too good, Cheng Xi never treats them as slaves, but treats them as ordinary people, gives them due respect, and follows Cheng Xi, he doesn't even feel that he is an inferior house slave.
Cheng Xi saw Xiong Er's eyes shining, and said with a smile, "I'll go and tell your son-in-law, let him give me the deed of sale of your brothers, see if he is willing, if he is willing, you can come over, but you have to think about it, follow me may suffer hardship, I have a lot of things, and you have to do the hard work, you can discuss it with your brother, and then tell me if you are willing." ”
Cheng Xi thought about it, since she said that she wanted to take care of herself, she definitely couldn't toss herself tired like before, but if she wants to live a good life, some things must be done, and she has too many things in her hands, and she has a child, the Xiong brothers are diligent and down-to-earth, if there are two people as helpers, it will be easy for herself, but she has to owe more favors to Zhaocai, anyway, she owes a lot, Cheng Xi thought, pay it back slowly in the future.
Xiong Er was very excited when he heard this, and nodded busily, "I'll go back tomorrow morning to discuss with my brother." ”
After talking to Xiong Er about this, Xu Lan had already warmed up the meal and sent it over, Cheng Xi personally took care of the hundred-year-old to eat, and said to Xu Lan Xiong Er on the side, "Do you have anything to eat?" ”
Both of them said they had eaten.
After everything was cleaned up, Cheng Xi was about to coax the hundred-year-old who had been sticking to himself to sleep, when a hurried knock sounded at the courtyard door outside, and Xiong Er outside went over to open the courtyard door and welcomed people in, it was Yu Zhaocai.
As soon as Yu Zhaocai entered the room, he frowned and said to Cheng Xi, who was sitting at the table with a hundred years old, "Aren't you sick?" Why didn't you lie in bed? ”
Cheng Xi responded with a smile, "Where is it so serious, it's just that I accidentally got tired and slept a little, why did you come here at this time?" ”
Yu Zhaocai sat down at the table, poured himself a glass of water and drank it, before he spoke, "I just came back, I heard that you were sick, so I came to see you, you girl, you really don't stop, this is fainting and it's not serious." ”
Cheng Xi responded with a smile, "I'm really fine, I'm just tired, I woke up this night, and I almost relieved, I see that you are also tired, you should go back and rest quickly." ”
Yu Zhaocai sat at the table and did not move, but said in a low voice, "I still have something to tell you." ”
Cheng Xi wondered, "What's the matter?" In such a hurry? ”
Yu Zhaocai took a deep breath before he spoke, "On my way back from Yuecheng, I met a person who looked very similar to Brother Xu. ”
Cheng Xi looked at Yu Zhaocai in surprise, "Xu Sanlang? ”
Yu Zhaocai nodded, and then shook his head again, "I'm not sure if it's him, he was sitting in the carriage, and I happened to see him when he threw the curtain, like that, it is indeed Brother Xu, but it doesn't seem to be like Brother Xu, he obviously saw me, but when he saw me, it was like seeing a stranger, and he looked away after a glance, and the momentum around him, except for a face like Brother Xu, nothing else." ”
Cheng Xi frowned slightly, his mind was lowered and he turned quickly, and after Yu Zhaocai finished speaking, Cheng Xi opened his mouth and asked, "How many people were there when you saw them?" Are there also officers and soldiers? Do you think he was held hostage? ”
