Seventy-three March days
After March, the day was warmer, and the wind through the street was much softer.
With a gust of wind, the red, white and white petals fall on the street, the children can't help but open their hands to cheer, and the neighbors are already surprised.
There are also people who impatiently wave away the scattered petals.
"Is this over?" He complained, "The good streets have become like green buildings." ”
The guy from the store next to him leaned against the door and smiled: "It depends on when the sixth master will take care of his legs." ”
"That's a bit of a boil." Another said, "It's been a hundred days to break your bones." ”
"The rich man is too, what are you doing when you are idle and have nothing to teach your son!" The previous person shouted indignantly, "How good it would be to let Gao Xiaoliu live and lose in the casino." ”
laughing and cursing on the street, Gao Xiaoliu leaning against the window on the tall building didn't seem to hear it, and he didn't pay attention to it when he heard it.
"Sixth Master." The shopkeeper next to him whispered, "I'm running out of flowers." ”
Gao Xiaoliu didn't turn his head, and said lazily: "If it's gone, I'll pick it." ”
The shopkeeper said helplessly: "Sixth master, the flowers on the street have been bought, why don't you wait for tomorrow." ”
Gao Xiaoliu looked into the distance and sighed: "Tomorrow after tomorrow, how many tomorrows......"
Childe, is this stupid in the building? The shopkeeper's eyes were worried, why did he lean against the window every day, looking into the distance, not at all like Gao Xiaoliu, who used to be in the casino, but like a tall lady leaning on the door and watching her husband.
"I don't have to spend it." Gao Xiaoniang turned her head and said, "Go pick some leaves." ”
Come on, the scolding on the street is even more fierce, and the shopkeeper will be a little bit old, and the response is, carry the dustpan and leave.
Large and small long and short leaves were thrown down, and sure enough, there was a lot of scolding in the street.
Gao Xiaoliu turned a deaf ear, only looked into the distance, and pinched the leaves in his hand: "Come today, don't come today, come today, don't come today-"
There was a sudden silence on the street in the midst of the noise, and it was not quiet, there were horses' hooves trampling, and there were footsteps running around, but the shouts were all suppressed, "Hurry up, hurry up, the Judge is coming-"
Metropolitan Judge?
A group of black-pressed guards galloped in, and they raised their heads as the leaves fell from the sky on their heads.
I heard the doors and windows slamming shut, followed by the screams of people.
"Daddy—you can't leave your son—if you go—what will I do—I won't live anymore—"
Is it someone who lost his father and had an emotional breakdown? So it's not strange to throw leaves and sprinkle them or something.
Zhu Chuan raised his hand and knocked off the leaves on his shoulder.
"Don't want to live anymore?" He said, looking up, "Then I'm going to give him a ride for the pleasure of helping someone?" ”
"Alright, take care of yourself." Huo Lian said, brushing away the flowers and leaves that fell on her wrist.
Zhu Chuan hurriedly hugged the six-foot sword in his arms, looked around sharply, and the people who were hiding in the house around him were busy going inward, and those who had nowhere to hide against the wall wanted to get into the wall.
Huo Lian urged the horse, and the black pressure went forward like a dark cloud, and the people who ran into the room and crowded on the wall returned to the street, looking at the people and horses in the distance.
Although as a native of the capital, he should have been accustomed to the Metropolitan Inspector for a long time, but every time he sees it, he is still in the heart.
"Why are you these days... The Governor is out a lot? Someone whispered.
The Metropolitan Inspector is haunted in the capital, and he may not know where he appears, and people in the capital are used to seeing it, but Huo Lian is rarely seen, at the beginning, he personally beat officials to raid homes and kill people, and then there were not many times when he needed to come forward in person, either in the palace or in the Metropolitan Inspectorate.
In this spring season, why did you see Huo Lian walking through the street for two or three days in a row?
Someone must be unlucky!
Didn't hurry through half of the city to the street where the Metropolitan Inspector was located, Zhu Chuan's tense shoulders were lowered, and he didn't look left and right, the left and right were all the people of the Metropolitan Inspectorate, if someone dared to come and grab the sword in this situation, it would be really crazy.
"Governor." He shook the six-foot sword in front of him, "How could that person blatantly snatch the sword from us?" Crazy? ”
Crazy? Huo Lian looked ahead, and a person seemed to laugh in the void in front of him.
"Come on, little brother." The man shouted, "Give me a kick." ”
Huo Lian lowered her eyes, raised her gaze again, and said, "Those people are crazy. ”
......
......
Although the town is a little small, everything comes back to life in spring, and the town becomes noisy.
There are more baskets on the street, and there are all kinds of food and drink.
"Selling soles—"
"Selling straw—"
"Fresh eggs—"
Chun Tao walked through the streets, and now she is not only no longer shy, but the basket has also been replaced with a basket, and in addition to the soles of her shoes, there are a few more things to sell.
Not long after leaving, he was stopped by someone and picked and chosen, "Are the eggs fresh?" "Is this grass steamed?"
Chun Tao replied one by one, and bargained, "Auntie, it's fresh, you still have residual warmth when you touch it." "It can't be cheaper, I originally kept it for myself, and there are patients at home." "There's no way, you need to buy medicine."
Hearing her say this, the women were embarrassed to bargain any longer, and almost bought it.
By the time I walked two streets and was stopped by a woman picking vegetables outside the door, the basket was already half empty.
"Chun Tao, now I'm getting better at business." The woman said with a smile.
Chun Tao smiled shyly and took out a small packet of pickles from the basket: "Auntie, this is for you to taste." ”
The woman hurriedly raised her hand and refused: "How can I ask for you for nothing, it's not easy to earn a few dollars." ”
Chun Tao said, "I want to thank Auntie-"
At this point, the woman was interrupted by a young voice: "I have something to thank for." Speaking of this, there was a bit of caution in his eyes.
Chun Tao froze slightly, and her voice became smaller: "-Aunt took care of my business from the beginning, if it weren't for my aunt, I wouldn't have persevered, and our family might not be able to survive this winter." ”
The neighbor next to him happened to come out, and when he heard it, he smiled and said, "The aunt of the Zhou family is the most kind-hearted person." ”
The aunt of the Zhou family smiled: "I can buy things with cheap money, and I can even become a good person." ”
Saying this, he looked at Chun Tao again, his eyes were meaningful.
Chun Tao understood, and didn't say such things again, but her mind remained the same, at that time, she just sent a letter, and the group of evil thieves were really exterminated.
Although all the officers and soldiers who appeared at that time felt that all this was related to the letter she handed out, this aunt of the Zhou family.
What she said was not a lie, if those bandits were not exterminated in time, her family, her village, would definitely not survive this winter.
Although since that day, Ah Shui Ge never mentioned this matter again, and she did not ask again, she began to come to the city regularly to sell.
In fact, I don't know why I did this, probably thinking that if I encounter another time when the earth is not good, I have a hope to rely on in my heart.
Chun Tao also knows how to avoid suspicion, and she rarely comes to Aunt Zhou's side in the past, but this is only the third time.
She got up to take her leave, and when she was about to carry the basket, someone came up again.
"Are these soles sold?" The female voice asked, reaching out and touching the straw sandals hanging outside the basket.
Chun Tao hurriedly responded, raised her head, and saw that it was two young girls.
The girl at the head leaned over slightly, took off the straw sandals on her feet, held them in her hands, and said, "Look, is there anything suitable for the size of my feet?" ”
Chun Tao looked at the straw sandals handed to her, and looked stunned, the knot on the side of the straw sandals was very familiar......
Aunt Zhou, who seemed to be picking vegetables next to her, was also slightly stunned, and immediately coughed lightly.
"Chun Tao, there is business again." Aunt Zhou said, handed over the bench she was sitting on, and looked at the girl, "This young lady, sit down and try slowly." ”
......
......
Meng Xichang was already able to get out of bed and walk around, he walked to the entrance of the village with a wooden cane, and looked ahead, the twilight was already deep, and the sky and the earth were dark.
"Ah Shui, Ah Shui?"
There was a shout behind her, and the old woman's voice trembled a little, and her breath was unstable.
Meng Xichang hurriedly turned his head and responded, "Auntie, I'm here." ”
The old woman trembled and walked over: "Why did you come out?" ”
Meng Xichang said: "I'll go out for a walk." ”
The old woman sighed: "You don't lie to me, do you want to leave?" ”
Meng Xichang was silent for a moment.
"I know that you are a capable person, and it is impossible for you to stay in our mountain village." The old woman continued, "I'm not pestering you to let you go, even if you go, you have to heal your injuries before leaving, if you go now, if there is any accident, we will save your life in vain." ”
Meng Xichang said: "Auntie, I'm not ungrateful and don't say goodbye, I'm a wasted person, and I can't let you raise me anymore." ”
"What do you say, if you are still alive, you are not a waste." The old woman said angrily, "You're just injured and haven't healed yet, take good care of-"
Meng Xichang was silent, and when he was about to say something, a shout came from afar.
"Mother-Brother A-Shui-"
Meng Xichang and the woman both looked over and saw two horses slowly coming from outside the village, a girl riding alone, and Chun Tao riding with a person, beckoning happily.
The twilight was dim, and I couldn't see the appearance of the person who came for a while, only the voice of the spring peach echoed.
"Brother Ah Shui, your family has found it."
Family?
Meng Xichang knew that there were people from Momen here, and the news he delivered last time spread smoothly, but there was no contact between Momen without complaint or demand.
Is there something wrong with Momen looking for him here?
But now apart from his life, nothing else can help.
Meng Xichang was thinking that the person who came had approached, and the girl who was riding alone dismounted.
"Meng Xia." She said, bowing her hand, "Long time no see." ”
Meng Xichang saw the girl's appearance clearly, and was a little surprised: "Seven masters." ”
It's her.
"Why are you here?" He asked.
Qixing said, "I'll see if you need help." ”
Her gaze fell on his right hand, and the sleeve of her shirt was empty.
