Volume 3 Three Drums: The Past Is Empty Like a Dream Chapter 306 Sadness and Sadness Parting
The previous chapter has been replaced.
At this time, Uncle Wu opened his mouth: "This kid is also good, I often sit." ”
The blue-robed man's voice was faint, but there was a kind of firmness that could not be refuted: "That's it." The girl came in a hurry, thinking that she needed this business even more. Xiao Tao was happy when she heard the first sentence, but the second sentence made her face a little hot, and she didn't know why it happened.
There was a hint of sarcasm in the man's eyes. But he didn't say anything, just followed Xiao Tao's bamboo raft.
Xiao Tao also got on the raft, but her hands and feet seemed to be lowered, and she didn't listen to the call. The raft swirled around in the water a few times before finally paddling forward. Xiao Tao didn't dare to look at the man in the green robe, only peeked at the man in the green robe, but saw that his brows were tightened. The look of mockery in his eyes was also heavier.
Look down on people?! Xiao Tao's heart was more energetic, and the shyness just now gradually faded, and the raft was rowed smoothly and lightly. The two sons were very silent on the road, but from the occasional conversation and the mutual call of the two, Xiao Tao heard that the surname of the son in the green robe was Qi, and the surname of the man in the robe was Zhao. The duo's destination seems to be Hongdu Province.
The raft traveled for most of the hour, and when it reached the first line of heaven, Xiao Tao said softly: "The stones here are low, don't stand up." Bump carefully. ”
Uncle Wu smiled: "I didn't listen to your reminder before, why is it so proper today?" ”
Xiao Tao's face turned red, and she glared at Uncle Wu: "You are familiar with the way, and you are still afraid" Before the words were finished, Xiao Tao only felt a chill in her ears, and a powerful force had moved her arm to the left, and the penny in Xiao Tao's hand was forced to the left, and the raft as a whole moved half a step to the left. Fortunately, Qi Gongzi moved the raft half a step in time and walked to the middle of the sky before dodging.
Xiao Tao didn't care about being afraid of her own danger, but just marveled at the blue-robed Qi Gongzi. A person who is as gentle as jade, how can he move as fast and powerful as wind, thunder and lightning.
Uncle Wu was scared, and counted the little peaches: "You girl, don't be careful." In case of bumps. What about your bedridden mother? The money for the medicine has been delayed by you. "Brother Ping, Brother Ping.
Xiao Tao's face turned red again, and as soon as she pulled it, the towel around her neck almost fell off, if it was usual, Xiao Tao was not afraid of others seeing her birthmark. But now she couldn't say why, and suddenly, as if she had a rabbit, she wrapped the towel around her neck a few times to make sure that the birthmark was tightly covered.
Zhao Gongzi, who was in a red robe, suddenly spoke coldly: "Aren't you hot?" ”
Xiao Tao looked at the man's cold expression and felt a little uncomfortable. also glared back at him coldly, wiped his sweat without humility or arrogance, and replied, "I'm cold." Zhao Gongzi snorted coldly and looked away.
Xiao Tao secretly glanced at Qi Gongzi, he was looking at the landscape on the right, the jade crown on his head, the warm outline of the edges and corners on the side, the smile under his eyes, and the clouds swimming in the sky, and the rays of sunlight through the green mountains on both sides, Xiao Tao never found that Qili Creek was so beautiful, so beautiful that her whole person was dizzy.
On weekdays, the two-hour journey makes Xiao Tao always feel long and tired, but today it seems to be there in the blink of an eye. The two sons got off the raft, Qi Gongzi took out a silver ingot and handed it to Xiao Tao, Xiao Tao panicked, she had never seen this, she waved her hands busily, her face was redder than the peach blossom: "If it weren't for so much, six cents would be enough." ”
"That's all there is to it." There was a hint of a smile in Qi Gongzi's eyes, and the eyes looking at Xiao Tao were gentle and a little alienated, which made people look warm but respectful.
Xiao Tao boldly glanced at Qi Gongzi's eyes, there were more than a dozen rabbits jumping in her heart, her face turned even redder, her hand tugged at the corner of her clothes, and her voice was so low that she hummed: "I can't find it." ”
"Then you don't have to look for it." Qi Gongzi still smiled faintly and elegantly. His gaze is very shallow, but it seems to be able to penetrate into his heart.
At this time, Zhao Gongzi interjected coldly: "Qi Gongzi is not short of this." Turned to look at Xiao Tao with a hint of mockery, "Or don't you ask for that six cents?" ”
The already embarrassing situation was even more embarrassing by Zhao Gongzi's sentence, if you don't want the six pennies, you won't say anything about the hard work, because you can't find the money and can't collect the money, it's really a wretch; But if you take the ingot of silver, it seems to be accepting Qi Gongzi's alms. She can giggle, she can have no skin and no face, but the taste of being given to others, the first time she tried it, it was not comfortable.
Xiao Tao's heart moved, and she raised her eyebrows and looked at them: "I'll take the silver first, and let's go to the town together to redeem it and return it to you." Xiao Tao turned to look at Uncle Wu, "Please help me watch the raft." ”
Qi Gongzi raised his hand to take Xiao Tao's hand, put the silver in her palm, and looked gentle: "We still have some things, don't go to town." When we return to Jinling in three days, we will pass by here, and then you will come back to pick us up and return the rest of the silver to me by the way. After speaking, he turned around and walked away side by side with Zhao Gongzi.
Xiao Tao only hurriedly said loudly: "Master Qi, I'll wait for you here in three days, don't forget." ”
Qi Gongzi's steps paused, and then strode forward.
Xiao Tao came back to her taste as if she had experienced a big battle, sweating profusely, not knowing whether she was tired or nervous, her face was also flushed, and she hurriedly tore off the towel around her neck like a mess to breathe.
Uncle Wu sighed with a smile: "Girl, you have met a good person." As he spoke, he walked towards Anping Town.
Xiao Tao smacked Uncle Wu's words, and the hand held by Qi Gongzi was numb, although it was through the sleeves, but the feeling of heart about to jump out, Xiao Tao felt that he could barely breathe for the first time. Holding the silver, Xiao Tao's mood was apprehensive but a little excited, and three days later, she could see him again.
The crescent moon of Yunwan Village is clear, shallow, and hangs leisurely in the sky, lingering with the breeze. Xiao Tao sat on the pyre in the courtyard, holding the ingot of silver in her hand, staring at the crescent moon. There seems to be the temperature of Qi Gongzi on the silver, and Xiao Tao is reluctant to exchange the silver for a long time.
Today is really the most unusual day, how can it not be common? Xiao Tao only knew that the dog in the east of the village had cubs, and the chicken in the west of the village had been bitten by a weasel, which was a big deal for her. But suddenly, when I saw such a moist Qi Gongzi, Xiao Tao's mind was dizzy, and back and forth was Qi Gongzi's robe and the ghost of a faint smile, and everything was nothing.
Xiao Tao only understood a truth that day, it turned out that some people, after seeing it, the previous days were like boiled water and couldn't taste anymore. Meeting him is the most extraordinary thing in life.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of Xiao Tao, and snatched the silver in her hand, Xiao Tao looked at it, and it turned out that the nominal brother was back. Xiao Tao immediately pounced and grabbed it: "Ye Guang, don't rob me of things." Xiao Tao didn't bother to call this idle guy a big brother at all.
Ye Guang put the silver in his mouth and bit it, pushed the little peach that pounced on him away, and glared: "Thief girl, where did you steal it?" Okay, you, this ingot of silver is enough for a year's worth of money. As he spoke, he weighed the weight of the silver, and his face was full of smiles.
Xiao Tao jumped to his feet anxiously: "You return me, it's not stolen, it's given to me by the guest, I can't find it, I have to return it to others." "Little Peach is incoherent.
"Fart." Ye Guang poked Xiao Tao's shoulder, "You lie and pee first, and I'm still a little tender." Which guest is so generous? Is there such a generous person in Xiangao Town or Anping Town for you to bump into? Still waiting for you to find the silver? He's got his head squeezed by the door, stupid? ”
Xiao Tao cried anxiously, jumped up and grabbed the silver in Ye Guang's hand: "You pay me back, I said I would pay it back." I couldn't see it, so I stretched out my foot and kicked Ye Guang angrily.
Ye Guang's fire came up, and he picked up Xiao Tao and threw it on the pyre like a chicken, and shouted in a loud voice: "Tell you to drag the oil bottle, this family is empty by you, a money-loser, and your mother's sick seedling, I don't care where your money comes from, I have to return home when I see it." ”
Xiao Tao's mother heard the movement outside in the house, tried her best to shout a few words in her throat, Xiao Tao didn't pay attention, struggled to get up from the bed board, panted and moved to the door of the house, only to see Xiao Tao and Ye Guang pulling back and forth, Xiao Tao Niang moved to the two of them, and said weakly: "Xiao Tao, don't fight with the big brother." ”
Xiao Tao had tears in her eyes, like a calf holding back her strength, and she didn't know where she had the strength to drag Ye Guang to the death.
Ye Guang lost his patience and kicked Xiao Tao: "Dead girl." After saying that, he took the silver and ran away quickly. Xiao Tao was kicked by Ye Guang and hit her mother, and the two fell to the ground together. Xiao Tao didn't care about chasing Ye Guang, and quickly helped her mother up, Xiao Taoniang was already panting for breath, Xiao Tao quickly dragged her mother back to the house, and ran to the east of the village to find Lang Zhong to see a doctor.
When Ye Laosan came back from work in the evening, he was used to Ye Guang's not going home, but when he saw that he had invited Lang Zhong and the money was gone, he naturally scolded and scolded.
The little peach wilted, the silver was snatched away by Ye Guang, and even the tired mother was even sicker, and she didn't sleep for three nights with a cough. Xiao Tao herself was kicked by Ye Guang and had a stomachache, and it hurt even more when she walked, and she couldn't hold up the raft for two days.
On the third day, Xiao Tao struggled to get to the ferry in Anping Town early in the morning, she was very conflicted, she promised Qi Gongzi to pick them up, but she lost the silver, she wanted to find a shop in the town to redeem the silver, and now, she has less than ten cents in her hand. I really don't know how to face him. Will Qi Gongzi feel that he is an excuse for not wanting to pay back the money? Could it be mistaken that she is a greedy person?
Xiao Tao hid by the pavilion at the ferry, her heart was pounding, looking forward to their appearance, and afraid that they would appear. For the first time in fourteen years, Xiao Tao is so entangled.
But until the sun set, they didn't wait for Qi Gongzi to come. Are they delaying? It wasn't until the crescent moon was about to come up that Xiao Tao returned home with the penny in disappointment. The first time to read the "Three More Peach Blossom Drums" is free.
