Chapter 22 Cattle and Horses

Li Zhi walked to Qiubai's side and said in a low voice: "Give me Xiaobao, we have to leave quickly now, otherwise it will be very troublesome if it is discovered by those people."

Qiu Bai handed Qiu Xiaobao to Li Zhi very obediently, then turned around and pulled Qiu Ling and Qiu Doudou up from the ground, she held their hands tightly, and followed Ye Zhiheng to the other side of the mountain.

The next day, Qiu Bai, lying in a chicly decorated room, stared at the tent above his head in a daze with bloodshot eyes.

Qiu Xiaobao, who was sleeping next to her, suddenly trembled, whimpering in her mouth, looking pitiful.

Qiu Bai hurriedly turned over and patted him lightly on the back, and whispered to reassure, "It's okay, it's okay, the eldest sister is next to me, don't be afraid." ”

Qiu Xiaobao, who was asleep, seemed to hear her sister's reassurance, her frowning brows slowly relaxed, and her breathing became even.

Qiu Bai saw that Qiu Xiaobao fell asleep again, so he lifted the thin quilt and got out of bed.

She walked over to the door and gently pulled it open and walked out, then gently closed the door again.

This is a three-entry courtyard with exquisite layout and exquisite furnishings.

After the Qiubai sisters and brothers fled down the mountain with Ye Zhiheng, they got into a carriage, which stopped at the foot of the mountain, and a middle-aged groom sat on the car.

The carriage was very spacious, with a small soft couch and a few hot stoves, and a few exquisite pastries on the small table, exuding a burst of aroma.

After a few people got into the car and sat down, the groom whipped away, and when the Qiubai sisters and brothers got out of the car again, they had already arrived outside the gate of the house.

The yard is not large, and there is no furnishings, except for a gardenia tree planted in the corner, which is full of gardenias, some of which have yellowed and withered, and an ashlar table with four round stone benches on the side of the tree.

Qiu Bai pushed open the door of the next room, and saw Qiu Ling leaning on the bed in a daze, a person who was already very thin, was frightened by yesterday's events, and became more and more thin, and his big bloodshot eyes were blank and directionless, which made Qiu Bai's heart ache.

"Xiaoling." Qiu Bai raised his legs and entered the house and gently called Qiu Ling, who was in the right direction.

Qiu Ling raised her head when she heard the voice, and tears fell from her eyes.

Qiubai approached and stretched out his hand to gently wipe away her tears, and then said softly: "Don't wake up Doudou, let her sleep well."

Qiu Ling hurriedly stopped her tears when she heard this, lifted the quilt and got out of bed.

The two sisters walked out of the house lightly and sat down on the stone bench.

"Eldest sister, what should we do now?" Qiu Ling asked helplessly.

Qiubai thought for a while and said, "With such a big move, the government must already know about it, and it will definitely send troops, and when all the bandits are caught, we will go back."

Qiu Ling nodded vigorously when she heard this, "Mm-hmm." ”

"You look at the two of them, I'll go out and have a look." Qiu Bai patted Qiu Ling's head and said.

Qiu Ling suddenly remembered a big event, "Sister, it seems that Uncle Xiao saved us yesterday!" No, it's not like it, it's uncle, if it's not uncle, why save us! ”

Qiu Bai's head was a little big when he heard this, and he thought seriously for a moment before telling Qiu Ling the truth, "That's not our uncle, I lied to you before." Then he told Qiu Ling what had happened.

Qiu Ling was stunned after hearing this, and was silent for a long time before he said slowly: "That's right, I have never heard my father and mother mention that there are other relatives in our family before, so I said that I seemed to have heard my mother say that my father has no brothers, and my father is the only seedling in the family."

Qiu Bai looked at Qiu Ling's disappointed appearance, feeling a little uncomfortable, but he didn't know how to comfort him, the two stood silently for a while, Qiu Bai said again: "You look at them, I went out to thank others, but they saved our lives."

Qiu Ling nodded, "Well, don't worry." ”

Outside the courtyard is a bluestone road, there are some flowers and plants planted on both sides of the road, the road is not long, and at the end is a pavilion, Ye Zhiheng and Li Zhizheng are sitting in it playing chess.

Qiu Bai walked over slowly, and when he saw that the two of them were serious, he didn't bother, and stood by the pavilion.

Ye Zhiheng's slender fingers pinched a white jade chess piece, and gently buckled it in the dense chess piece, Li Zhi instantly made a bitter face when he saw it, "If you don't play, you can't play, you keep losing, it's not interesting at all." ”

Ye Zhiheng smiled when he heard this, "Then take it." ”

Li Zhi responded, took out the exquisitely made chess box and loaded the chess pieces.

Qiu Bai saw that the two of them had finished playing chess, and hurriedly stepped on the stone steps and went to the pavilion.

"Yesterday...... I would like to thank Childe for yesterday's events. "Yesterday's events were so embarrassing that she couldn't speak.

Ye Zhiheng said indifferently: "No, it's just a courtesy."

Pay somebody back in the same coin? Does that mean that she saved his life before, and now he saves her? However, when she rescued him, she had received two hundred taels of silver, so should she return the silver? No, if she returns the money to him, she will have no money on her, no money on her, and no bottom in her heart.

"No, no, no, I still want to thank Childe, Childe saved our family of four, I can't afford to be a cow or a horse, as long as Childe has something to use me in the future, I will do my best to do it!" She said this sincerely, so it would be difficult for him to ask her to pay back.
