Chapter 53: Elopement (I)
"Private... Elopement?" Hachi retracted his head violently and asked tremblingly.
"That's right. Xiao Xi opened his eyes wide and looked at Xiao Hachi in a blink.
"It's... Not so good... Right?"
"What's so bad, now everyone knows I like you. Elopement is normal!"
Hearing Xiaoxi's words, Xiaoba was also speechless for a while, "It's normal to elope? But Hachi didn't dare to say it, but asked with a little weakness: "What if I get caught?"
Xiaoxi lowered his head slightly, snorted twice, and his voice brought a hint of grievance. "Then get caught... Then I'll marry that demon... Looking at what he did to me that day, in order not to be abused by him in the future, I had to die to escape... Hey, pity me for my thin face...", and then the big tears of the bean fell on the table.
Seeing Xiaoxi's sad appearance, a sense of manhood suddenly hit Xiaoba's brain. patted her chest vigorously, Xiao Ba took Xiao Xi's hand and said to her in a very firm tone: "Let's go, let's elope!"
Xiao Xi was stunned for a moment, watching his hand being tightly clenched by Xiao Hachi. There was a strange feeling in his heart, and a faint blush was cast on his delicate face. He opened his mouth slightly to say something, but closed it tightly.
With a "squeak", the door opened. Red Rose came to eat with Hachi with the prepared dinner, and the two got along for a short time, and they rushed to talk about each other, so they were often pulled by Hachi to eat together. In addition, Hachi asked Hongqiang not to treat herself as a domestic servant every time, so he and Hachi couldn't abide by the rules between master and servant, and walked in as soon as he pushed the door.
After entering the house, Hongqiang saw that Xiaoba and Xiaoxi were sitting together, their hands were still tightly clenched, and her whole body trembled violently. Hurriedly bowed his head to quit. At this time, Xiaoxi spoke: "Come back." ”
Hachi also chimed in, "Well, yes, it's okay. ”
Hongqiang had to bow her head, walked over, and respectfully performed a master and servant salute in front of Xiaoxi and Xiaoba. "Miss, childe, the slave and maid are bringing you food. ”
Xiao Xi glanced at the rice sent by Hongqiang, and there was a hint of coldness in her words: "You know I'm coming?"
Hongqiang was startled, hurriedly lowered her head, and replied resignedly: "I don't know..."
"Then why did you prepare two bowls of rice?" Xiao Xi stared at Red Qiang deadly, Red Qiang lowered her head, not knowing how to answer, so she had to secretly give Xiao Ba a look for help.
"Uh... The food made by Hongqiang is so delicious, so I want two bowls every time, haha" Hachi immediately explained to Xiaoxi with haha.
"Two pairs of chopsticks too?"
"This... Yes, this chopsticks plus this dish, that plus that dish. Haha, it's not smelly, it's hygienic... Ha... Haha" Hachi looked a little embarrassed, but after all, he pestered Hongqiang to eat together every day, so he couldn't let others carry his mistakes.
Xiaoxi glanced at Xiaoba and said, "There are still a lot of problems." Then he turned to Red Qiang: "You go down, I have something to say to Xiaoba." ”
Red Rose hurriedly saluted and fled as if she had been pardoned.
"Hey, hey, you taste. As he spoke, Xiaoba picked up a chopstick and handed it to Xiaoxi's mouth.
Xiaoxi hesitated, but still ate the food that Xiaohachi fed him, and then patted Xiaohachi a little shyly.
"You know how to eat, let's get down to business first. ”
"Isn't it good to talk while eating?"
"Not good!"
"Uh... Let's talk about it..."
"When are we leaving?"
"Listen to you. ”
"Leaving tomorrow then?"
"Hmm... Good. ”
"Leave in the morning, go in the evening?"
"Listen to you. ”
"Then let's go in the morning, they will be less vigilant when they leave in the morning, and it will be convenient for us to hurry. ”
"Well, okay. ”
"You say let's run over there. ”
"You say. ”
"To the east, there's the Nanya Forest, and they wouldn't have thought we'd go there. ”
"yes, okay. ”
"Hey, I'll discuss it with you, can you give me some advice?"
"Uh... Aren't you negotiating?"
"You call this a consultation? I can say anything. ”
"Yes, it's all up to you. Since I was a child, my father taught me to listen to women in small things and listen to men in big things. ”
"Oh, it's still a small thing, so what's the big deal?" Xiao Xi stared at Xiao Hachi curiously.
Hachi thought for a while and said, "Big deal... Well, it should be the next emperor to be replaced..."
Xiao Xi gave Xiao Hachi a fierce look. Picked up the rice bowl, picked up a large chopsticks and ate the dish by himself. Seeing that Xiaoxi was eating, Xiaoba also immediately started to move, but he had been greedy for a long time.
The two of them quickly finished a table of dishes, and let Xiaoba say, this is still the eldest lady, and the food is not better than herself. But Xiaoxi's explanation, the craftsmanship of Red Rose is too good. Why don't you elope and bring Red Qiang with you, and you can cook on the way. made Xiaoba speechless for a while, and sure enough, the eldest lady is the eldest lady, and she has to bring a cook when she elopes.
......
After sending Xiaoxi away, the sky has gradually darkened, and it is already early in winter. Hachi stood in front of the window, looking at the sky, and sighed in his heart, "Sister, where are you? I haven't had a little bit of you for so many days, I hope to escape with Xiaoxi this time, and I can find out what happened from her on the way... It's really tiring to pretend like this... I miss you so much, you know..."
The knock on the door came to mind again, and Hachi whispered "Please come in". I saw Hongqiang cautiously push open the door, looked left and right, and asked softly, "Miss is gone?"
Hachi replied lightly: "Well, let's go." ”
Red Rose patted her chest, "That's good, it scared me to death during the day." ”
Hachi smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault." ”
"You're embarrassed to say it, so how can you compensate me. I think you're rich, huh?"
"I... I only have... I have only twenty taels of silver. Hachi said awkwardly.
"Poof, who are you fooling, the first day you came, you saw that you were holding a big bag of silver. Red Rose smiled slyly.
"Ah, you've seen it all... Which ones aren't actually mine... I owe a lot of money, so let's do it, I finally earned it and planned to pay them back, so only twenty taels are mine..."Hachi immediately explained hard, secretly looking at Red Qiang's face while explaining.
Seeing Hachi's appearance, Hongqiang pretended to pout angrily, and didn't speak until Hachi couldn't justify himself: "Okay, Scrooge, you're the most sinister I've ever seen." Then I don't want your money, why do you sue my lady to find you. ”
"Whew..."Relieved, Hachi exhaled a sigh of relief, and Hachi whispered, "It's okay..."
Then he reached out and pulled up Red Rose's sleeve and pulled her to her side. Red Rose did not resist either.
"Shhh
"Well, am I that kind of person? Red Rose urged.
Xiaoba glanced outside, then lowered his head and said mysteriously: "Your young lady, you want to elope with me." ”
"What" Red Rose covered her mouth in surprise. Tentatively asked, "Brother Starling, don't you have a fever?" said he reached out and touched Xiaoba's forehead.
Hachi reached out and slapped away the hand that Red Qiang touched, "You don't believe in my personal charm so much?"
Red Rose shook her head obediently.
Seeing Hongqiang shaking her head, Xiaoba smiled proudly, and then immediately after Hongqiang said, "It's not that you don't believe it, it's that you don't have it at all!"
"You!" was struck by Red Rose, and Hachi almost didn't fall to the ground. "Don't make a fuss, you won't listen. ”
Red Rose immediately stopped her voice and nodded obediently.
Hachi said in a low voice: "We plan to leave early tomorrow morning, I don't know if there will be a chance to meet again..." When Hongqiang heard this, she was also a little disappointed, "Starling, will you come back to see me in the future?"
Xiao Hachi nodded heavily, "I'm new here, I don't have any friends, in Nanya City, you are my only friend." I'll come back to see you whenever I get the chance. ”
"Well, thank you, it's been a pleasure with you these days. By the way, I'll give you this. As she spoke, Red Rose took out a bright orange stone. "This was picked up in the mountains of my hometown when I was a child, and later, my family was too poor, so my parents sold me to human traffickers, and finally I was sold into Hufu after several twists and turns, and I don't have any friends, so I'll give this to you as a souvenir." ”
Hachi carefully took the stone and kicked it into his arms. At this moment, even Hachi didn't know that Red Rose entered his heart along with the stone given to him.
"Then starling, I'll go and prepare some food for you to bring on the road tomorrow. Red Rose whispered. He turned around and walked out of the house.
Looking at Hongqiang's back, Hachi whispered, "Hmm... Thank you... You don't..."At this time, Hachi really wanted to say to Red Qiang, don't go, stay with me again. But he couldn't say it, and he knew that he couldn't say it, and he shouldn't say it. Red Qiang's body trembled very indistinctly, sighed softly, and walked out of Hachi's room.
Looking at the back of Red Qiang leaving, Hachi suddenly felt a little lonely...
