Chapter 25 Suddenly looking back, he was at the bridgehead
It wasn't until twilight approached that the beggars ran back in twos and threes.
Seeing Su Qi standing under the tree at the door, he stopped from afar and looked at it in disbelief.
A slightly older one came running, first glanced at the courtyard, and then respectfully asked Su Qi about his intentions.
Su Qi only said that he was looking for a child who had been lost for a long time, handed him a few pieces of silver, and asked him to bring those beggars and take a closer look at them one by one.
Su Qi was disappointed.
There were no heteropupils in these children.
He asked about the other beggar caves in the vicinity, intending to take a look.
The nearest is two streets away, I heard that it is a broken view, there were still some Taoist priests living in the early years, and now there are only some lonely ghosts left.
As soon as he crossed a street, Su Qi saw a familiar figure, wearing a suit of armor and carrying two oiled paper bags.
"Wei Jue?" Su Qi shouted.
"Su Qi?" Wei Jue looked back and was stunned, "Why are you here?"
"I want to ask you too. Su Qi approached and smelled a fragrance.
"My family lives here!" Wei Jue raised his hand and pointed to a house at the end of the street.
Su Qihu looked at him suspiciously, "You are the deputy commander, how do you live in Xicheng, it won't be in this golden house, right?"
"What kind of golden house to raise a coquette," Wei Jue couldn't cry and laugh, "I've lived here for more than 40 years, I'm too lazy to move, and I'm familiar with the neighborhood, and the relationship between people in Beicheng is too complicated, I don't want to get involved." ”
"Then this is just a release?"
"It's not thanks to you, all the Linghai Realms under my command have been transferred to draw formation patterns, and I have to do a lot of things myself," Wei Jue raised the oiled paper bag in his hand, "I just went to buy some cooked food, and the two children in the family are hungry." ”
"Yo, he's still a good father. ”
"Stop teasing, let's go, go in and sit down. Wei Jue asked again, "Have you had dinner?"
"Eat. ”
"Didn't eat. ”
"Smack. ”
Zhao Riyue took a beating.
"Haha," Wei Jue smiled happily, "Let's have a light meal at home together." ”
Wei Jue's home is not big, and there are two stone lions at the door, which is the only one on this street.
"The city lord asked someone to put it up, saying that if I don't want to move, forget it, how can I distinguish it from the civilians, I can't help it, so I'll let it go. Wei Jue noticed Su Qi's gaze and explained.
Su Qi nodded, entered the door with Wei Jue, and the two children ran out happily, a boy and a girl, the girl was older, eleven or twelve years old, and the boy was half a head shorter than his sister, and he looked less than ten years old.
"Daddy!"
The girl ran as fast as she could, and when she got closer, she found two outsiders, blushing, and twisting and twisting.
"Wei Wan, sometimes I wonder if she's a girl!" Wei Jue pointed at the boy who came over slowly, "Wei Qi, this one is too honest." ”
"Uh......." Wei Jue was about to introduce Su Qi and the others, but hesitated, "What should I call you....... It's not the right age to call your uncle, and it's like I'm taking advantage of you......."
"Call me uncle, sister Sun and Moon. ”
"Okay, you guys talk, I'll cook. Wei Jue sighed, "The old servant of the family has gone home to visit relatives, my skills are average, don't pick." ”
"I don't pick. Zhao Riyue replied.
Wei Jue was so happy that he asked Wei Wan to take the two of them into the house to sit, and as soon as Wei Jue's figure disappeared at the kitchen door, Wei Wan asked curiously.
"Uncle Shi, are you also a monk?"
"Not yet, but your sister is, from the Spirit Sea Realm. Su Qi pointed to Zhao Riyue.
"Wow. Wei Wan had envy in his eyes, "That's the same as Daddy! I really want to cultivate.......
"Why?"
"How good it is to be a monk, to be able to fly, to be able to fight, and to be chivalrous!"
"What about you?" Su Qi glanced at Wei Qi, who was hiding behind his sister and only dared to show half of his face to look at them shyly.
"I ......," Wei Qi glanced at his sister, "I listen to my sister." ”
"Oh, you idiot! Wei Wan tugged at Wei Qi's ears angrily, "In the future, if you are bullied, you have to fight back, and every time you call your sister and me, what will it look like." ”
"Sister, didn't you promise to protect me?"
"That was when you were five years old, and now I'm not going to protect you. ”
Wei Qi was a little aggrieved, looked at Su Qi, and turned his face away embarrassedly, his eyebrows trembled, obviously he was still eavesdropping on the chat between his sister and Zhao Riyue.
Su Qi is very happy, these are two good children.
Wei Jue quickly got a few side dishes out, spread the cooked food he bought on the table, poured three glasses of wine, and slapped Wei Wan's hand away when he tried to steal the wine, which made Wei Wan angry.
Dinner was very pleasant, not big fish and meat, just small dishes of the farmhouse, there was no entertainment, only chatting and joking among friends, mixed with the laughter of three and a half children, the dim candlelight sprinkled on the table, the old dog next door would occasionally bark a few times, Su Qi didn't drink much, but he was a little drunk, he smiled and patted Wei Jue's shoulder, "Your daughter looks good! ”
Wei Jue's face was black, Wei Wan blushed, Zhao Riyue rolled up his sleeves and "snapped" on Su Qi's head.
"Uh...... We'll talk next time!"
Su Qi, who found out that he was speechless, hurriedly said goodbye, pulled Zhao Riyue out of the house, and pushed back Wei Jue, who wanted to go out to see him off, and walked out of the street, Su Qi grabbed Zhao Riyue's bun.
"You just hit me. ”
"I'm afraid you'll say the wrong thing. Zhao Riyue looked sincere, but her heart was very happy, it was rare to have this good opportunity for revenge.
"Also, I drank too much. Su Qi sighed, "The next time you come to the door, you may have to be kicked out." ”
The night was slightly cool, Su Qi was slightly drunk, and the thin wind was still quite comfortable on his body, so Su Qi simply took Zhao Riyue to Napoguan.
However, there is still nothing.
It may be that there is a foreshadowing from the previous time, Su Qi was not too disappointed, and Zhao Riyue walked towards the south city, there is a small bridge in front of him, the sound of flowing water is murmuring, this is the most common road from Xicheng to Nancheng, tonight's moonlight is also splashing cheerfully, splashing the clear light all over the ground, Zhao Riyue walked back, jumped around again, and had fun himself, Su Qi looked at the lights of the south city, wondering when to light a lantern on Qishan.
He withdrew his gaze and was about to say something, but he was suddenly stunned.
At the head of the bridge there was a little beggar, sitting alone on a rock, with his legs crossed and his chin on his arm, staring blankly at the house opposite.
Su Qi watched quietly, and burst into tears.
"Little uncle?" Zhao Riyue panicked, "What's the matter, don't you cry?"
"It's okay, I'm just wondering if Lao Xin felt the same way I did when he wrote that poem. ”
He wiped his eyes, walked briskly, and sat down beside the little beggar, who turned his head to look at him, and then turned back.
His eyes were bright, and Su Qi saw that there were golden lines flashing.
"What's your name?"
The little beggar raised his head, his eyes clear, "Ah Tang." ”
"Why is it called Ah Tang?"
"Because they joke that I like to eat sugar. ”
"Shall I give you a new name?"
The little beggar didn't speak, but looked at him with sparkling eyes.
Su Qi touched his head and said, "In the future, you will be called Bai Tang, what about Bai Bai, Tang....... It's that the sugar you love to eat is not rice. ”
The little beggar thought for a moment, "What's the use of a name?"
"A name is a complete person. ”
"The last time I went to Nancheng to eat, the master of the Chen family said that we are not human beings at all. ”
Su Qi was silent, and then said, "Some people are not a person even if they have a name. ”
"And what is a human being?"
Su Qi thought about it, and became angry, "You stinky boy, do you want to discuss philosophical issues with me?"
"What is philosophy?"
"Where I came from and where I'm going is a philosophical question. Su Qi felt that he had done a good job.
The little beggar smiled, and the corners of his mouth stretched out a beautiful arc, "I've also thought about this question." ”
"Where do you live?"
The little beggar pointed to Xicheng, "From that side, through three streets, and then north through two alleys, there is a dilapidated house. ”
"Then why did you get here?"
"I was sick two days ago, and the boss went to steal medicine for me, and he never came back, and I waited for him here. ”
Su Qi touched his head, and suddenly felt very sad.
