Chapter 131: They're Back
"Xie Feng Xie Liu? How did you two get back? ”
After a while, Jiang Jingyun reacted and shouted in disbelief.
Xie Liu also ran towards her, very affectionately coquettish: "Mother, don't you welcome me?" ”
"How so?" Jiang Jingyun hugged her, and then hurriedly pulled her up and down: "I really didn't expect it, I haven't seen you for two years, and the two of you have grown so big." ”
Xie Liu was taller, but he could still recognize her at a glance.
And Xie Feng, who was standing not far away, had already grown into a little adult, tall and with clear facial features, but the whole still exuded a cold and alienated temperament.
"Come here, let me see you." Jiang Jingyun beckoned to him.
Xie Feng was stunned for a moment, and then walked towards her silently.
Jiang Jingyun let go of Xie Liu and walked towards him, reaching out to try to touch his face, but he avoided it.
Her hand froze in mid-air, and her expression couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, but soon she still looked at him indifferently and said, "It's been a long time, where have you and your sister stayed in the past two years?" Didn't suffer much, did you? ”
The last sentence she mainly asked him, after all, with Xie Feiran's cold heart of sending Xie Feng, who was only in his teens, to the barracks before, he might not be able to treat Xie Feng well in the past two years.
The beautiful name is to train him, but it will only make Jiang Jingyun feel distressed.
Xie Feng lowered his head to avoid her gaze, and replied in a low voice, "It's okay." ”
It's just a sentence of 'okay', which sums up the two years they spent on the run.
His words made Xie Liu look at him with complicated eyes, and then he threw himself into Jiang Jingyun's arms very aggrieved and said: "No, the two of us have suffered a lot outside in the past two years, and we have been running away and changing places, we have had a really hard time!" ”
Xie Liu looked pitiful and begged for comfort.
And Xie Feng heard her words behind her, and couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
And Jiang Jingyun was already even more distressed by Xie Liu's words at the moment, and she didn't notice Xie Feng's somewhat strange look at all.
After that, Jiang Jingyun beckoned them into the house, and asked Qin Mian to go out to buy some vegetables, ready to cook some delicious food for them.
Eat and drink well and rest well, so that they can temporarily relieve the fatigue and hard work of the road.
After Qin Mian came back after buying the ingredients, he helped Jiang Jingyun in the kitchen, and looked at her with a strange expression and asked, "Hey, you said that these two people suddenly came back at this time, is it because of some change in the situation in Shangjing?" ”
Jiang Jingyun's action of picking vegetables was slightly paused because of his words, and then she glanced at Qin Mian, and said with an indifferent expression: "No matter what, as long as these two children are not in danger, and they don't have to hide in Tibet for their lives, then this is a good thing." ”
"yes." Qin Mian smiled and responded, but he didn't seem to care much about it.
Waiting for Jiang Jingyun to prepare a table of meals, several people sat in the hall to eat together.
"Wow, sure enough, it's still delicious food cooked by my mother." Xie Liu kept stuffing food into his mouth and was full of praise.
Jiang Jingyun couldn't help but laugh and said, "You eat slowly, and no one will rob you." ”
"Who said that? Isn't there these two guys who can eat! Xie Liu said and pointed to his brother and Qin Mian who was sitting next to him.
Especially when she looked at Qin Mian, her eyes were somewhat hostile.
Qin Mian looked innocent, when did he offend this little ghost?
But soon Xie Liu continued to eat as if nothing had happened, and Qin Mian simply didn't bother, anyway, she was just a little girl.
After eating, Jiang Jingyun asked the two brothers and sisters to stay.
Anyway, she has a place to live here, and Xie Feiran's general's mansion has been empty for so long, and she has no popularity at all, so it is better to live with her.
Of course, Xie Feng and Xie Liu also quickly agreed, so this small courtyard, which is extremely quiet on weekdays, finally became lively.
That night, Jiang Jingyun was knocked twice on the window as soon as she lay down.
"Who?" Jiang Jingyun got up and asked.
Xie Liu's voice soon sounded outside: "It's me, mother." ”
Jiang Jingyun was slightly flustered, then got up to open the door for her, then looked at her and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Xie Liu's voice was soft and begging: "Can I sleep with my mother like before?" ”
After speaking, she looked up at Jiang Jingyun with some caution.
Jiang Jingyun sighed slightly, and finally agreed: "Come in, you are wearing such a thin dress and it is cold outside." ”
In late summer and early autumn, the temperature difference between day and night is huge, and the nights are cold.
"Okay!" Xie Liu answered, and then entered the house happily.
After the two of them lay down on the bed, because they couldn't sleep, she asked Xie Liu: "Where have you been in the past two years, and why has your father only let you come back now?" ”
Jiang Jingyun had been learning about the situation on his side from the letters Xie Feiran wrote to her before, although no one expected that he would ask them to come back for so long when he first went, but Jiang Jingyun vaguely felt that the situation in Beijing might be more complicated than she guessed.
In the past two years, the two children must have had a hard time outside.
And although Xie Liu is still young, he is not unremembered.
So since I couldn't get anything from her brother, I wanted to try it and ask her again.
Xie Liu pondered for a moment before replying, "Hmm...... We live in a very quiet place, occasionally have some trouble, but it is not a big deal, the most important thing is that my brother is there, most of the time he will solve problems, and there are other uncles to protect us. ”
Saying that, she looked at Jiang Jingyun again, although she didn't see Jiang Jingyun's face clearly in the dark, but she still smiled very happily: "Fortunately, such days have passed, my father said, no one will dare to hurt us in the future."
"Really?" Jiang Jingyun's mood was a little complicated when she heard this.
In fact, Xie Liu's response was somewhat unanswered, and there was no particularly important information in his words.
But Jiang Jingyun still heard some key points, such as the 'uncles' that Xie Liu said, thinking that Xie Feiran should have spent a lot of manpower to protect these two children.
But even so, when she thought that they had been hiding outside for two years, and they must have suffered a lot during these two years, Jiang Jingyun had always felt very distressed in her heart, and felt that Xie Feiran's arrangement was not a little inappropriate.
Why can't you find a hidden place to hide them, as he said at the beginning?
Could it be that the forces that threaten these two children are really so powerful, so strong that they can't even do this?
Jiang Jingyun was a little incomprehensible, but she also knew that Xie Feiran would not harm her children.
So when she learned about Xie Feng and Xie Liu's general experience in the past two years, some doubts rose in her heart.
If those forces were really that powerful, how could Xie Feiran suddenly be able to compete with them now?
