When Chunhua, the mother who was in a state of confusion, suddenly called out her name, what a happy thing it was for Qiao Xiaojing!

Qiao Xiaojing's grievances for many years seemed to turn into tears of happiness in an instant, and these tears were like a river bursting its banks.

From the moment her mother called her name, Qiao Xiaojing's sleepiness was driven away by this sudden happiness, she crawled beside her mother, sometimes brushing her mother's hair, sometimes like a child, putting her forehead on her mother's cheek, sometimes supporting her chin with both hands, staring at her mother's different shades and wrinkles on her face, in short, she felt that she had fallen into the sweetness that she had not seen for a long time......

As soon as the sky was light, Qiao Xiaojing got up and got busy, a habit she had developed for many years.

Qiao Xiaojing finally found a broom from the root of the back wall, and before she could sweep the yard, it was scattered in front of her eyes, and the rope that was tied had been weathered and broken, so she had to find another half of the rope and re-tie the broom, and then began to clean up the courtyard.

I don't know how many years this courtyard has not been cleaned, as soon as Qiao Xiaojing moved the broom, the yard kicked up billowing dust, like a sandstorm circling in the yard, accompanied by a thick rancid smell and foul smell, choking Qiao Xiaojing kept coughing, and once vomited, tears swirling in her eyes.

Some of the villagers who got up early began to work in the fields, they passed by the yard of Qiao Xiaojing's house, and were stunned by the "sandstorm" and smell in the yard, the "sandstorm" flooded Qiao Xiaojing, and passers-by all felt that something strange had happened in Chunhua's house.

More and more passers-by gathered, and the "weird" things in the courtyard of Chunhua's house opposite were all dumbfounded.

It was already dawn, and the villagers seemed to have forgotten their work in the fields, and they all stood outside the courtyard of Chunhua's house with farm tools. Suddenly, everyone screamed, and they saw a man in the form of dust coming out of the "sandstorm".

"What a monster, what a monster. One of them screamed first.

"It's a youkai, it's definitely a youkai. Another man shouted.

"This monster is too big, it stinks. "I heard the woman's scream.

"How could such a monster appear, what a sin!".

For a while, the villagers gathered at the door of Qiao Xiaojing's house shouted at each other, and the scene was chaotic, some shouted loudly, some scolded in a low voice, some shouted in the crowd, and some shouted outside the crowd......

Qiao Xiaojing, who was covered in dirt, came out of the dust, and when she saw the black crowd, everyone was stunned, and she took two steps back in fright. Chunhua and Liu Ma each lay on the window, looking at the villagers outside through the broken window paper, and they were shocked.

"If you don't sweep a house, how can you sweep the world?" Just when everyone was in a state of confusion, the sound of vicissitudes suddenly came.

The villagers looked back one after another, and Qiao Xiaojing also stood on tiptoe and saw an old man in loose clothes, skinny, with a flowing white beard, holding a cane, staggering over from the crowd.

This elder is none other than Xue Laohan, the rotten eye who is pointing Qiao Xiaojing to find her mother.

Many people think that this old man has a nerve problem, and his words do not match the afterword, and there are errors in logic. Qiao Xiaojing didn't see it that way, she was willing to regard this old man as a virtuous person......

The villagers all consciously gave way to a way, and this Xue Laohan walked over slowly, with an indifferent expression, and stood at the front of the crowd.

Qiao Xiaojing wiped her face with her sleeve, spit out a mouthful of phlegm, and looked at the old man quietly. The villagers were also silent, everyone's eyes wandered on Qiao Xiaojing and this old man Xue, and the whole village fell into unprecedented tranquility.

"It's time to sweep away the haze. Seeing that everyone was silent, he broke the deadlock with crutches in both hands, "Everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high, if you can help, you can help, and if you don't help, there is no need to stand and watch the excitement!"

The villagers didn't seem to understand the meaning of Xue Laohan's words, and they were still silent, standing in place, looking at each other.

"Whoever doesn't have a lot of fun, why bother here. Xue Laohan was a little angry, and his crutches slammed the ground a few times.

"Thank you, grandpa, I can do it myself. Qiao Xiaojing understood what this old man Xue meant, expressed her gratitude, wiped the sweat on her face and turned to the big guy and said, "Uncles and aunts, please go back, wait for me to clean up the house." ”

"Oh, isn't this Xiaojing?" a woman stood for more than an hour before recognizing this rustic woman.

"Yes, it's Xiaojing. ”

"It's all grown so big!"

"Time is really confusing!"

"...... "Everyone, every word you and I say, they are all talking about Qiao Xiaojing."

Just when the villagers left Qiao Xiaojing's house one after another, a crazy man rushed into the courtyard of Qiao Xiaojing's house, snatched the broom from Qiao Xiaojing's hand, and bent his waist to clean up, and suddenly the dust and mist rose again.

"The madman Qiao Shuangxi, the second son of Qiao Baocai's family. The crowd was bustling, and I don't know who said this, everyone slowed down again, and their eyes were on this person again.

When Qiao Xiaojing heard this, her head instantly "buzzed", and she didn't know how to deal with the sudden thing.

"The world laughs at me for being crazy, and I laugh at the world for not being able to see through it. The old man turned around, slumped, muttering as he walked.

Qiao Xiaojing's gaze wandered between the old man who was far away and Qiao Shuangxi, who was sweeping the floor, and fell into a helpless situation for a while.

"Are you double happiness?" Qiao Xiaojing timidly looked at the back of the person who swept the floor, not sure of this person's identity.

"It's been years, I can't believe you'll be back. Qiao Shuangxi did not answer Qiao Xiaojing's question directly.

"Are you okay?" Qiao Xiaojing looked sideways at Qiao Shuangxi, who was sweeping the floor seriously.

"It's not good, it's crazy, that's what the people in the village say. When Qiao Shuangxi spoke, he didn't stop what he was doing, nor did he look up at Qiao Xiaojing who was standing beside him. However, it is not difficult to judge from his words, his thinking is clear, his grammar is standardized, his logic is rigorous, and there is an implication that the villagers think he is crazy, but in fact he is not crazy.

"The people in the village are mistaken, right?" Qiao Xiaojing couldn't believe her ears, except for her sloppy appearance, she really couldn't see that the man in front of her was a person with nervous problems, she wondered, "How can it be a madman? A madman won't say that he is crazy or not, how can a person who knows whether he is crazy or not really be a madman?"

"Don't talk about this, how are you, so many years?" Qiao Shuangxi had already swept the debris in the yard together, and he began to carry the weeds to a ruin at the edge of the yard, leaning on the debris to pile up the debris in one place.

"I'm hard to say. Qiao Xiaojing lowered her head and let out a long sigh.

"Did you do something big?" Qiao Shuangxi piled up the last handful of sundries on the rubble, patted the dust on his body, wiped the sweat on his forehead, deliberately lowered his voice, and said to Qiao Xiaojing, "I have seen you in my dream, you are a heroic and invincible hero in my dream, and you have killed many, many devils by yourself......"

"How can this kind of thing be said nonsense?" Qiao Xiaojing was very surprised by Qiao Shuangxi's words, although she deliberately concealed her emotions, her language was still somewhat exposed, she glanced back and forth, left and right, and saw that there was no one around, so she told Qiao Shuangxi, "Remember, from now on, you must not talk nonsense like what you said just now, it will kill you." ”

"I'm a madman, and everyone in the village knows that I'm a madman. Even if I say it, who would believe the words of a madman?" Qiao Shuangxi laughed, laughing a little inexplicably, I don't know if he was laughing at Qiao Xiaojing's nervousness, or if he was laughing at his own somewhat "special" identity.

"You're really ......" Qiao Xiaojing nodded and smiled slightly. She didn't talk to Qiao Shuangxi about the so-called "big things" anymore, picked up the flat pole standing diagonally on the kitchen window, and prepared to carry water. She wanted to clean the house thoroughly, to make this broken home clean, at least like a place for people to live.

"Come on, I can do it. Qiao Shuangxi grabbed the flat pole.

"Aren't you already crazy, how do crazy people know how to work?" Qiao Xiaojing didn't give him the flat burden.

"Oh oh, yes, I'm a madman, it's really not appropriate to fetch water for your house. Qiao Shuangxi showed a sly smile, watching Qiao Xiaojing walk out of the yard, he continued, "I'll wait for you to come back with water." ”

Qiao Xiaojing didn't make a sound, didn't turn her head, and walked towards the ancient well.

Qiao Shuangxi sat on the stone in the courtyard, and was suddenly startled by a pair of green things on the window of the main house, he took two steps back, and stared at the green thing again, if it weren't for Liu Ma pouting in front of the broken window, revealing his big yellow teeth, and letting out a long "um" of fear and anger, he would never believe that the pair of round things that glowed green would be Liu Ma's eyes.

The sound of rustling behind him made Qiao Shuangxi turn around, he looked left and right, the empty yard really couldn't find anything with this sound, the hair on the back of his head "poofed" on the ground, and he felt uncomfortable.

"You liar, hurry up and get out of here!" Just when Qiao Shuangxi was confused, suddenly there was a scolding sound from the kitchen, and the scolding was very vicissitudes and very sad.

Qiao Shuangxi was frightened by this unexpected scolding, he stood in the yard in a daze, and only woke up like a dream after a few seconds, ready to run towards the outside of the yard, and happened to meet Qiao Xiaojing who came back from carrying water.

Qiao Xiaojing didn't explain too much to Qiao Shuangxi, just pointed to the kitchen and then to her head.

Qiao Shuangxi nodded very clearly, sat on the threshold of the kitchen, and watched Qiao Xiaojing busy making fires, boiling water and other work on the pot table.

"You liar, get out of here. Chunhua sat on the edge of the kang and kept pointing at Qiao Shuangxi.

Qiao Xiaojing hurriedly stepped forward to persuade her mother, who knew that her mother's old illness had relapsed, and she didn't know her daughter anymore, while scolding Qiao Shuangxi, even Qiao Xiaojing scolded together: "You are also a liar, what do you want to deceive me? Liar......

Chunhua not only kept talking, but also pushed and shoved her daughter out of the kitchen, closed the kitchen door from the inside, and knocked on the door panel and scolded: "Liar, I don't even have a daughter, what do you want to lie to me?"

"I'll help you after eating. Qiao Shuangxi faced this embarrassing and sad situation, and didn't know how to comfort Xiaojing.

"Thank you, I don't dare to trouble you anymore. Qiao Xiaojing was full of gratitude when she spoke, and stood helplessly in the courtyard.

"I'm coming, and I'm going to do great things with you. Qiao Shuangxi smiled faintly, and when he arrived on the road, he looked crazy again.

"What's the matter? It's crazy. Qiao Xiaojing muttered quietly in the courtyard alone.

Chunhua kept knocking on the door.

Liu Ma leaned on the window and made a long "um" sound.
