Text Chapter 95: Chopping wood
It's annoying!
Zhou Mengyuan complained that Lingzhi was lazy and blamed himself for being impetuous. Yu Xin couldn't bear it, and resolutely stopped Qin'er from chopping wood for herself.
However, his instructions to Qin'er are no longer effective, and no matter how good his words are, they are not enough to change Qin'er's will and appease that wounded heart.
Carrying Chai He was originally going to Zhou Mengyuan's house, but when he went to the slope of the roof, he saw that the big green horse was there, and Qin'er turned back, and happened to meet Zhou Mengyuan out of the cave.
Holding a shovel, a rope around his waist, and a machete, he looks like a woodman who is doing a lot of work.
Qin'er was in a hurry and was not seen.
Zhou Mengyuan walked towards the drape.
"Young master, I'll go too. ”
Behind him, the voice of Lingzhi was heard.
When he turned around, he saw Lingzhi shrinking his head and sleeve his hands, which was very cold, Zhou Mengyuan did not reply, and turned away.
On the slope, I saw a person carrying a large bundle of firewood and walking in the direction of the village, and when I saw the steps of the little butterfly, I knew that it was Qin'er.
"Qin'er! Wait! I'll carry it!"
No response.
I saw that Chai He was moving faster.
Zhou Mengyuan rushed to surpass.
"Come, give it to me. ”
Qin'er was silent, bowing her head and hiding to forcibly seize the road.
Zhou Mengyuan didn't give up, and still blocked, "Don't be stubborn." Put it down. ”
It was really difficult to be stopped, Qin'er thought that it was a hypocrisy and a false intention to hurt herself, and she was furious: "Go away!"
This roar, accompanied by two strings of tears, was the first soprano burst in Qin'er's life, and the voice was so high-pitched and sonorous that it could shake half of Qiao Shan.
Zhou Mengyuan was unexpected, shocked, and instinctively retreated to the side in embarrassment.
The firewood, the large pile of firewood, moved on the shoulders of a weak woman, and moved away from it one by one.
Zhou Mengyuan had mixed feelings in his heart, knowing that Qin'er was too careful, and understood that he was far away from her during this time.
Since it's a sister, you have to care.
If you like it, you have to be tolerant.
Zhou Mengyuan followed Qin'er's house.
"Mother, help me put down the firewood. ”
When he walked to the door, he had already helped Qin'er put down the firewood.
"Hello Fourth Aunt!"
"Nothing is too much of a problem. ”
Gai Gai glanced at Zhou Mengyuan, said coldly, and entered the house.
changed his anger because his beloved daughter always helped Zhou Mengyuan's family work. Now it's not as good as before, when the old lady was alone, the change and the Thursday before her death were very supportive, Zhou Mengyuan came back and invited Lingzhi again, Qin'er This is to serve four people, how can she bear the change that her daughter is reluctant to let her do heavy work for her family.
Qin'er came to the kitchen, took a bowl of cold water, drank it in one gulp, and coughed out after wiping her mouth with her cuff.
The atmosphere is cooler than the weather.
Zhou Mengyuan was speechless.
In the house, he changed his direction: "Qin'er, come into the house and warm up." ”
Qin'er picked up the rope and machete, and walked out as if no one was around, "No." Mother, I'm still going. ”
Zhou Mengyuan had no choice but to follow stupidly, embarrassed and lost.
Xiaohua and Xiaohei seemed to know, and they wooed around Zhou Mengyuan.
"Get out of here! I'll clean up yours sooner or later. ”
Raise the shovel and scare it.
The two dogs took a few steps back, but they were puffed.
Qin'er had no intention of reconciling, and strode towards the overgrown place at the foot of the mountain, waving a knife and chopping wood.
Zhou Mengyuan accosted him several times, but he didn't make him speak.
Several times, he put the self-chopped firewood on Qin'er's firewood pile.
Qin'er stubbornly pulled the rope off, and simply didn't even want her own.
insisted on going his own way, so that Zhou Mengyuan's poor donkey skills were about to explode.
The evil air of the mountain wind destroys the heart and cold, and silence here is better than sound!
"Qin'er, listen to me, there is really nothing between me and Dou Ya'er, just a meeting in Pingshui, a disciple of the master's disciple. Although she was warm and cheerful and had a little kindness to me, I have always tried my best to avoid it, and I will always avoid it in the future. The only person who is most worthy of Zhou Mengyuan's love and care is Qin'er!"
Qin'er, who was like a dead heart, couldn't listen to it at all.
In this mood, the more Zhou Mengyuan explained, the more hypocritical and pale he became, and the more Qin'er despised him.
A person who has been fond of himself for many years resolutely lets go, it must be after a fierce and painful inner struggle and deep consideration.
No one wants to show their feelings!
No one wants to let go of love easily!
Once this emotion is let go, what are the chances of picking it up again?
We sympathize with Qin'er and feel sorry for Zhou Mengyuan.
······
Qi Yue dismounted at the door of Qin'er's house, and called "auntie" to enter the hospital.
"Who's coming? ”
It was Qi Yue who changed the door to see him, understood what he meant by coming, and understood that he would not come empty-handed.
With a smile, he said, "Young Master, it's you." Would you like to sit in the house?"
"I..." Qi Yue's eyes quickly swept around, but he didn't see Qin'er, "Hehe, I'm going to the county seat to do something, take a look by the way." Auntie, your uncle is gone, how are you and Qin'er doing? ”
"Alas!" he said, rolling his eyes, "I can't open the pot anymore." You say, our mother and son are both women, I am not in good health, and Qin'er is pampered, I can't bear to let her do hard work, how can I get so much money to pay off my debts! ”
Qi Yue was taken aback, and suddenly felt pity for the jade, "Where? Where did Qin'er go to chop wood?"
"Maybe at the bottom of the mountain. She's been out for a while. ”
"How can this be? How can a girl learn to do needlework and housework, so how can she do such rough hard work?"
changed his words, and suddenly felt that Qi Yue knew more about compassion than Zhou Mengyuan, and had the spirit of a mature man.
"You young master, it is her blessing to marry any girl. ”
took out a small cloth bag from his waist, and Qi Yue said: "Auntie, you accept this, it can be regarded as a subsidy for you and Qin'er by the younger generation, in the future, don't let her dare to work hard anymore." ”
"No, no. How can I accept your gift for no reason. ”
He raised his eyebrows, whispered in his mouth that he had already taken the cloth bag, and pinched his fingers hard to feel what was inside.
Qi Yue took his leave and left.
Before he could see it, he changed and hurriedly transferred to the house.
The trembling fingers quickly opened the cloth bag, and he was so surprised that he couldn't help but scream.
"Wow! That's a lot of money!"
······
No matter how Zhou Mengyuan confessed, he couldn't make Qin'er change his attitude, and he sat on the grass, not knowing what to do.
Hearing the sound of horses' hooves, when Zhou Mengyuan looked up, Qi Yue had already quickly looked for it.
"Huh, hehe, how is Qin'er? Brother Yuan, how are you?"
Without losing everyone's young master's demeanor, Zhou Mengyuan smiled back, "Okay! Qi Yue is quite good at finding it." ”
"The mountain is big, it's not for my aunt's guidance, and I don't think about it with ten Qi Yue. Seeing that Qin'er didn't pay attention, Zhou Mengyuan's rope was still wrapped around his waist, and Qi Yue quickly smelled the smell of gunpowder, "Brother Yuan is very personable." I am comfortable and let Qin'er chop wood, how can I bear it?"
Zhou Mengyuan blushed instantly, "I, I... It was Qin'er who wouldn't let me cut it. ”
"I feel sorry for you. Brother Yuan is so happy!" Qi Yue dismounted and came to Qin'er, "No one is distressed, and he is born to be a coolie." Qin'er, give me the machete, and we'll do it together. ”
As he spoke, he reached out and asked for it.
Qin'er bowed her head and said nothing, but she didn't resist, and as soon as she let go, the machete fell.
Qi Yue picked it up and slashed directly at a tree trunk the thickness of a bowl.
There was a click, and the tree fell with a thud.
Qin'er never expected that this white-faced scholar with seemingly fine skin and tender flesh would have such strength.
Zhou Mengyuan, who was completely left out in the cold, stood up, clapped his hands against his will, and said: "What a sharp knife!Young Master Qi, then I have to help Qin'er chop firewood once, I still have something to do, so I will leave in advance." ”
"Excuse me, how much is a bundle of firewood for Qin'er to chop wood for your family?"
"Gratuitous. She's willing!"
Zhou Mengyuan said, and slipped away.
Angry Zhou Mengyuan, Qin'er suddenly felt timid, and was busy making some firewood, and was about to carry it on his shoulders.
"Put it down! Qi Yue went over to stop him.
"Young Master, you'd better leave quickly. You and I are together in this barren mountain and wilderness, and it's not good for anyone to see it. ”
Zhou Mengyuan walked very slowly, always turning back one step at a time.
He did not go home, but avoided the road and went to a hollow to cut wood.
He wants to chop firewood for Qin'er's family and chop a lot of firewood to make up for Qin'er's efforts and comfort Qin'er's heart.
"It's okay. Qi Yue said, "Sooner or later, people will know that it is Qi Yue who is sincerely pursuing Qin'er." ”
"Stop talking nonsense. Young master, you better go about your own business. If I'm going home late, my mother will be worried. ”
"That... I'll take you to the entrance of the village and then leave. As he spoke, he reached out and grabbed it.
Qin'er dodged away, raised her head, and looked at her with hesitation and helplessness, "Please respect the young master!"
······
As soon as Qin'er stepped into the yard, she smiled and came out to greet her, "Put it down! ”
Seeing that her mother was happy, she was tired and lost, and Qin'er happily refused.
Changed to Xi Yingying and called hot water, "Qin'er wash quickly, my mother will cook for you." ”
Qin'er has long been accustomed to her mother fetching water and cooking for her, but she is not used to her mother's excessive hospitality.
"Mother, what's wrong with you today? ”
"Hehe, that Young Master Qi came to our house and gave him a few dollars. ”
"You took it?"
"Of course you have to take it. Girl, our orphans and widows have no income, and we should accept the help of nobles. ”
"Do you know what he means by how many times he comes?"
"I know, of course I know! Young Master Qi has taken a fancy to you. Glory and wealth are waiting for my family. In the future, stay away from the young master of the Zhou family, his family is ruined, and the land is not planted, I heard that what kind of martial arts do you hide in Zhongguan Mountain all day long and learn with an old Taoist, and from time to time there are women with you, it is really a good idle and unscrupulous!"
"Mother, don't talk nonsense! Brother Mengyuan has his own ideas. ”
"Look at it, it's still protecting him to this day. I can tell you, follow him, and the dowry you will be given is a date stick!"
Zhou Mengyuan came in with a sturdy bundle of chopping firewood, and walked directly to Qin'er's firewood pile and put it down.
Qin'er and her mother were talking, and they didn't pay attention to Zhou Mengyuan when they saw Zhou Mengyuan carrying chopping firewood.
Thinking that he had not been seen, Zhou Mengyuan walked out and said: "Fourth aunt, I put down the firewood for you, please go back and tell Qin'er, let her stop going up the mountain, I have all the firewood for wintering." ”
Qin'er couldn't bear it in her heart, and wanted to go out to send Zhou Mengyuan, but was dragged by Gai Gai.
