Chapter 69: Clouds
The little bun that was robbed by Qi Yu halfway was sitting in a hidden corner of the Guanlanju hall, and there were all kinds of pastries and fruits specially prepared by Qi Yu for the children on the table. Biqu Pavilion .
In the hall of Guanlanju, there is a small round platform specially built by the shopkeeper Qi for the craftsmen who walk the streets and alleys, and at this moment there is a little girl who is poorly dressed and the fabric is washed white, playing the pipa, babbling and singing tunes. The song is unknown, and it should have been made up by himself. It's supposed to be a little girl who doesn't know the world, but this tune is particularly sad.
Although Xiao Wuwu couldn't understand what the little girl was singing again, he was so depressed that he shook his legs and asked Qi Yu: "Uncle, what is the young lady singing?" Why does Carefree sound a little sad? ”
The words sung by the little girl are her own life experience, to the effect that her family is poor, her father died of overwork and still owes foreign debts, and her mother is seriously ill in bed. Naturally, there are some dirty things in this, but Qi Yu didn't want these things to pollute the innocent hearts of the two children, so he didn't explain it, but just said: "Little sister is pitiful, my father is gone, my mother is sick in bed, and I need silver to grab medicine to cure my illness." ”
Xiao Wuwu held his face, and Xi'er also had red eyes. Although the two children have experienced more tragic family ruins, after all, they are young, and Hua Qingyan did not say anything to them. So in their hearts, they are only temporarily separated from their parents and leave home temporarily. Now that I have listened to the story of the little girl, I will inevitably feel some sympathy. Xiao Wuwu slid down from the stool, ran a few steps to the bottom of the round platform, took out a silver bill from the small bag and handed it to the little girl, "Sister, this is for you, you go home and grab medicine for your aunt, you will definitely get better!" ”
The sound of the pipa suddenly stopped, and the little girl looked at Xiao Wuwu's face full of worry and hope in amazement. Although the silver coin is not big, and it can't catch medicine, it is a part of this child's heart. The little girl wiped her eyes, stretched out her hand to take it, and thanked her solemnly: "Thank you, brother!" ”
At this time, no one noticed, and the quiet Xi'er suddenly raised her head to look at the staircase, and showed a bright smile towards it.
After Hua Qingyan discussed everything with the shopkeeper Qi, she took the two children and Bi'er to buy the things they needed. Oil, salt, rice noodles, and some things that you need daily, there are really a lot of things along the way.
Hua Qingyan and Bi'er were picking up things in the grocery store, and the two children were bored and tight, so they ran to the door to play, and they saw a crying little girl on the street corner. Xiao Wuwu recognized at a glance that this was the young lady who played the pipa in Guanlan Curie, so he couldn't help but step forward and ask: "Little sister, why are you here, aren't you going to grab medicine?" ”
The little girl didn't know how long she had been crying, her eyes were red and swollen, and she couldn't help but feel sad when she saw Wuwu, and sobbed and said: "The reward given by the little boy and the old ladies has been robbed away!" My mother's medicine money is gone, woo~~~"
"Oops, good or bad!" Xiao Wuwu and Xi'er clenched their fists angrily.
Just when Wuwu and Xi'er were filled with righteous indignation, a white and slender hand reached out to the little girl, and on the palm of that hand was a silver ingot full fifty taels. The three of them were stunned, only to feel that the white shadow flickered, and the hand had disappeared, leaving only the silver on the ground in front of the little girl.
"Ah, where is the silver! Little sister, put it away, don't be snatched away by the bad guys! Worry-free picked up the money and hurriedly brought it into the little girl's hands. The little girl was still a little hesitant, but when she remembered the situation at home, she still accepted the inexplicable money.
Xi'er tilted her head and looked up, she just seemed to see a white cloud flying in front of her!
When the children said goodbye to the little girl, Hua Qingyan looked at the sky, and it was already time to go back, so she walked towards the splendid cloth village that she had agreed with Hu Baizhi.
Jinxiu Cloth Village is the largest cloth village in Chaoyang Town, there are all kinds of fabrics, ready-to-wear and embroidery, Zhou Xiaoyan and Mrs. Shen embroidered silk handkerchiefs at home on weekdays are all sold here, naturally because the price of Jinxiu Cloth Village is fair, and the boss is real.
On the most prosperous street in Chaoyang Town, Hua Qingyan saw the quaint plaque of Jinxiu Cloth Village from a distance. Hu Baizhi and Zhou Xiaoyan were looking at the door, and when they saw them, they waved their hands: "This way, this way!" ”
Because it is close to the city gate to the west, there are a lot of people on the street, especially in the splendid cloth village, and there are two tall horses in the far side of the street, which are slowly walking out with the crowd. Hua Qingyan frowned, she was really not suitable for such an environment with her two children. In order to protect the child from being squeezed and stepped on, every step is taken carefully.
Hua Qingyan suddenly felt that her right hand was loosened, and she turned around suddenly, and saw a small figure stumbling out of the crowd, her body swaying from side to side by people coming and going, as if she might fall at any time!
"Xi'er!" Hua Qingyan called eagerly, and just wanted to rush forward to catch Xiao Xi'er back, when she heard a commotion in the crowd, she turned her head to look!
A carriage was rushing towards this side, and the crowd had already dispersed in fright, and the road was cleared in an instant, and Xi'er's small figure was even more conspicuous! But the galloping carriage didn't mean to stop at all, and actually rushed straight towards Xi'er!
"Ah, kid, run!"
"Ahh What's going on with this carriage! And the kids! Stop! ”
There were exclamations in the crowd, but no one dared to step forward, the carriage was too fast, how could ordinary people have time, they could only watch. Some women have already closed their eyes, and they can't bear to look at the tragic situation of the next life!
"Xi'er, come back quickly!" Hua Qingyan's eyes were red, she stuffed Wuwu into Bi'er's arms, and ran over quickly!
The streets of Chaoyang Town are not spacious, and on this day of the meeting, the streets are occupied by various stalls, and the crowd often has to walk for a long time before they can go out. At this time, there was actually a car on the street that was driving recklessly, rushing straight towards the children standing in the middle of the road at a loss!
Hua Qingyan's heart had already risen to her throat, and she was about to stop beating! That's her son-in-law! She's a well-behaved son! It was not easy to save Xi'er from Hua Panpan's hands!
The big horse pulling the cart was already close at hand, and the horse's hooves were raised high, and the big horse seemed to see the child in the middle of the road and wanted to stop, but the little guy driving was a fierce whip. The frightened horse neighed high, and its long, powerful front hooves stomped down fiercely!
"No!" Hua Qingyan shouted with wide eyes!
She must not let anything happen to Xi'er!
Such a thought flashed in her mind, Hua Qingyan's body rushed towards Xi'er, holding Xi'er tightly in her arms, and her body subconsciously arched slightly so as not to be pressed by Xi'er below!
"Mother, sister!"
"Miss!"
Wuwu and Bi'er screamed, seeing that the horse's hooves were about to stomp on them Hua Qingyan and Xi'er, their eyes immediately turned red, and they wanted to rush out to protect them like Hua Qingyan, but the crowd that rushed away completely blocked them behind the crowd, and there was no breakthrough at all!
Hua Qingyan could no longer hear the horse's painful neighing and countless frightened screams, she tightly protected Xi'er in her arms, but she felt that Xi'er was not as obedient as usual, and had been struggling, trying to get out of her arms!
At this moment, she had already felt the dust splashed by the horse's hooves smashing heavily on her face, and the horse's hooves were raised and falling rapidly, which actually brought a sharp wind, and brought up the corners and length of her clothes! She clearly felt the pressure coming from above her head!
Hua Qingyan didn't want to fight and take Xi'er out of the range of the horse's hooves to trample, but Xi'er's non-cooperation made her unable to make any moves at all except for waiting for the verdict of fate in the same place! She has to do whatever it takes to protect Xi'er first!
Just when the horse's hooves were only a fist away from Hua Qingyan's head, a white figure suddenly flew out of the crowd and landed lightly beside Hua Qingyan. Hua Qingyan only felt that she was suddenly picked up, and there was an arm around her waist tightly around her!
Everyone saw that the man in white opened and closed widely, as if he was not facing danger at the moment, but in his own study, waving a brush like a freehand. The man in white held Hua Qingyan and Xi'er in his arms with one hand, and landed on the horse's hooves with the other!
His movements were so light, but the horse neighed in pain as if it had been struck hard, and it took a few steps back and fell to the ground with a heavy tumbling side. The horse fell, and even the carriage led by the rope behind it could not escape the fate of overturning. The face of the driver on the wheel instantly became frightened, and he wanted to get up and jump off, but before he could move, he was overturned to the ground by the huge inertia and rope belt, and the wheel pressed on him, causing him to roar like the horse.
The carriage rolled over on its side, and there was a scream from inside, the carriage was actually quite sturdy, and it didn't fall apart, but a lot of things rolled out of the door, and there was a woman in pink who screamed again and again.
But obviously no one cared about this woman's situation, and their eyes were completely attracted by the white-clothed person and Hua Qingyan. Everyone couldn't help but exclaim, what a hero saves beauty!
Although Hua Qingyan was wearing a little white clothes, the material was also an ordinary cotton cloth, and because of the first aid and falling to the ground, the originally simple bun had been scattered, and it looked a little embarrassed. But none of this can hide Hua Qingyan's gorgeous face.
Looking at the man in white again, everyone felt that all the beauty in the world was condensed in these two people, whether it was the face of the country and the city, or the temperament exuded by their bodies, they were all pleasing to the eye, and after their eyes were attracted, they couldn't extricate themselves.
