Chapter 27: Estrangement

Ash recognized her too, and jumped on top of her, snoring and snoring.

Qiubai hugged Xiao Ash, happy and sour in his heart.

I don't know if the bodies of Xiao Huang and Xiao Hua are still there, she must look for them tomorrow.

The potatoes were cut into hob pieces, boiled in a small half pot of water, and then pinched a handful of sweet potatoes from the backyard and stir-fried.

Although only a little salt was put in the two bowls of dishes, the sisters and brothers ate very fragrantly.

can eat enough and dress warmly, such days are very satisfying.

Early the next morning, there was an intermittent sound of blowing outside the house, which was very noisy.

Qiu Bai sat up gently, put on his shoes and got out of bed.

Turning around, he saw that the three sisters and brothers were still sleeping soundly, so he left the house lightly.

Outside, the sky was overcast and cloudy, which made people feel depressed.

She pushed open the courtyard door, craned her neck and looked down, and vaguely saw a procession slowly approaching this direction, and at the front of the procession there were two people at the front of the group playing something in their hands, and the tone was mournful and gloomy.

She stood by the gate for a moment, and the group quickly approached.

Only then did she see the instrument played by the two men, which was oval in shape and had some small holes in it, but the name of the instrument was not clear.

The two musicians had white cloths tied around their arms, and the group behind them were dressed in white with a white cloth tied around their heads.

Qiu Baileng reacted immediately for a moment, this is a funeral procession!

Sure enough, after the group, a pitch-black coffin was carried by four sturdy men.

There were also some people on both sides of the coffin, all of whom looked sad.

One of the eighteen or nineteen-year-old little women cried very sadly, Qiu Bai felt that she was a little familiar, and after thinking about it, she remembered, this is not Chen Yulan's eldest daughter, Wang Juyin!

At a glance, the man with a stubble on his face and a haggard face on the side of the crowd was not Chen Yulan's man Wang Youcang!

Looking at it this way, is it ...... that the one lying in the coffin It's Chen Yulan.

Thinking of this, Qiu Bai's heart suddenly gave birth to a trace of sadness.

She suddenly felt that human life was so fragile.

A few days ago, she also met Chen Yulan, at that time, because of the pumpkin incident, she was extremely disgusted with her, and sometimes scolded in front of Qiu Ling, "This mother-in-law is really damned!" But now that she's really dead, she doesn't feel good.

Less than a quarter of an hour after Chen Yulan's funeral procession left, another funeral procession passed by playing mourning music.

Throughout the morning, Qiu Bai didn't know how many funeral processions had walked in front of the door.

Qiu Ling also stood quietly beside her without speaking.

"Xiaoling, you take care of Doudou and Xiaobao, don't go out, I'll go to Wang Liang's house to see if they have come back." Qiu Bai suddenly said to Qiu Ling.

Qiu Ling was a little worried, "Don't go today, it's unlucky......"

Qiu Bai patted her hand gently, "It's okay, I didn't do anything bad, those dirty things won't find me!" ”

Qiu Ling was still not at ease, "This kind of thing is not good, I think it's better not to go out today." ”

Qiu Bai's face was resolute, "No, I won't go and feel uneasy." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ What's unsettling! Qiu Ling frowned, and her tone was cold, "We were ...... by the bandits that day Their family ran fast, usually so affectionate, like a family, and ran away by themselves when they were in danger! ”

Qiu Bai paused and asked Qiu Ling softly, "If it was their family who was in danger at that time, would you run back to save it desperately?" ”

Qiu Ling turned her head and said nothing.

"Xiaoling, my sister didn't mean to accuse you. What my sister wants to say is that people are selfish, and the first thing that comes to mind when the catastrophe comes is to save yourself, and those who will go out of their way to save you are only the people closest to you. In fact, my sister also has resentment in her heart, especially when she was almost ...... by a thief, the word "rape", in front of Qiuling, she really couldn't say it.

"Xiaoling, we will treat others as others treat us. There is nothing wrong with them not saving each other when we are in danger, although the two families are close to each other, but in the final analysis, there is no blood relationship at all, besides, in our most difficult time, their family helped us a lot, we still owe this love, and this Qingshui Village is so big, and we will not look up and see you in the future, we don't need to hold on to this matter, how we were before, and how will we be in the future. Some things are good if you know them in your heart! ”

Qiu Ling's stiff shoulders slowly eased down, and she said sullenly: "It's because I'm too naΓ―ve, I'm so close before, and my sister is about to get engaged to Brother Wang again, so I feel like we're a family......"

Qiu Bai touched Qiu Ling's head and said with a smile: "Xiaoling is not naΓ―ve, Xiaoling is innocent."

"Then you go, and come back as soon as you see it." Qiu Ling instructed uneasily.

"Well, my sister knows." After Qiu Bai finished speaking, he turned around and walked out of the courtyard.

For the Wang family, Qiu Bai's heart is very conflicted now, on the one hand, naturally because of the help of the Wang family in his most difficult time, and on the other hand, because when the thieves came, the Wang family abandoned their sisters and brothers and ran away.

She knew very well in her heart that if Wang Liang didn't come to inform her to escape, she might not even be able to get out of this courtyard and would be killed by the bandits.

She can also understand the Wang family's feelings of leaving their sister and brother, after all, they are not a family, and they don't have to work hard for their sister and brother.

However, the thorn in her heart is still deeply pierced, and no matter how she enlightens herself, she can't get rid of it.

Just like Xiaoling said, "I feel that we are a family......", how she is not, Wang Liang is good to her, the queen mother is close to her, the royal father is kind to her, and Wang Xiao and Wang Xiaoxiao are intimate to her......

She has also regarded the Wang family as a family, and she has also become dependent on Wang Liang.

In the time of fear, fear, and despair, she always imagined whether Wang Liang would suddenly appear in the next moment, drive away the bandits, and save them.

Of course, these are naturally her extravagant hopes, those thieves have knives in their hands, and they are tall and big, and they are all banditry, even if all the men of the Wang family turn back to save them, they are just moths to the fire, and they will only die together in the end.

She understands and understands all of this, but she can't accept it.

She trotted to the gate of the royal courtyard, and it was silent inside, not at all like a human being.

She raised her hand again and gently pushed the courtyard door, and with a "squeak", the courtyard door opened.

Wang Liang, who had a decadent face, sat alone on the threshold, his brows tightly furrowed, as if he was thinking about a big thing.

Seeing this, Qiubai's heart relaxed.

Wang Liang, who was contemplative, heard the loud sound, raised his head suddenly, and after seeing that it was autumn white, his eyes lit up instantly.

Qiubai chuckled, "I'll come over and see if you've come back." ”
