Aunt Ge looked up: "Yueyue? She looked at Chi Yue, who had already taken off her mask: "When did you come to Qingyang?" ”

"Today."

"Where's your dad?"

"It's gone."

Chi Yue's expression was unwavering.

She met the lifeless eyes, and suddenly saw the other party clutching his chest, letting out a heart-rending cough.

There was a glass of water on the bedside table, and she handed it to Aunt Ge, and when she stopped coughing, she said a few words of care.

"Yaoyao, you go out first." Aunt Ge sat up slightly straight, and said without refusal: "I'll say a few words to Yueyue alone." ”

Ge Qinyao nodded hesitantly.

She walked out of the bedroom, Chi Yue quietly looked at Aunt Ge with a haggard face, mistakenly thinking that she was trying to say that she and Ge Qinyao would support each other and take more care of each other in the future.

What is the material?

"Yueyue, our family is not as good as before, Yaoyao and her two brothers and sisters not only have to take care of me, a patient, but also have to take care of the family's food and drink, and the burden is really heavy."

"Aunt knows that it is not easy for you to be alone, but the situation in our family is not optimistic......"

Aunt Ge is up to the point.

She knew that Chi Yue was a smart person and could understand her refusal, so she gave up borrowing the Ge family, or seeking help from the Ge family.

"Auntie." Chi Yue's face was expressionless: "My husband and I were just passing by Qingyang and coming to see Qin Yao by the way." ”

The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

Or rather, Aunt Ge was embarrassed.

She covered her lips and coughed lightly, as if she had not said anything euphemistically refused, and asked her with a smile: "Your husband is here too?" ”

"Hmm."

"Where do you live now?"

"Source City."

After going and about, Chi Yue's patience ran out, and she got up and left the bedroom on the grounds of not disturbing the other party's rest.

"Yueyue, what did my mother talk to you about?" Ge Qinyao saw her come out and held her arm quite affectionately.

"She told me to take good care of you."

Chi Yue didn't mention those self-righteous words.

She adjusted her emotions and reminisced with Ge Qinyao, chatting about each other's experiences, until lunchtime, when the doors of the other two bedrooms were opened one after another, and she saw Uncle Ge's family.

The Ge family rented a three-bedroom apartment.

Uncle Ge and his wife occupy one room, their son lives in the same room with Ge Huai, and the remaining room is reserved for Ge Qinyao's mother and daughter.

"Qin Yao, who are these two?" Uncle Ge saw two unfamiliar faces at first glance and looked at them curiously.

"My friend."

Ge Qinyao introduced in turn.

She often mentions Chi Yue, and although Uncle Ge's family has never seen her, they have heard a lot and are deeply impressed.

The two sides chatted for a while, and she looked at Aunt Ge, who was in charge of the supplies: "Auntie, let's eat sausage fried rice at noon, right?" ”

"I'm done with the sausage." She glanced at Chi Yue and her husband, and said in a light tone: "Now there are only compressed biscuits." ”

"How is that possible? I ......"

Halfway through Ge Qinyao's speech, she suddenly understood that the real reason why she was lying was that she refused to keep Chi Yue and them at home for dinner.

Her chest rose and fell in anger.

rushed to Uncle Ge's bedroom, found that they had locked the door, and asked, "What do you mean?" ”

Uncle Ge's father and son were silent.

Aunt Ge walked outside the door of Aunt Ge's room and said in a loud voice: "Sister-in-law asked us to take care of the supplies, we must lock the door, what if it is stolen by others?" ”

"Someone else? I think you're guarding against me, right? The pent-up anger in her heart exploded instantly, and she kicked the door shut.

There was a lot of movement.

Aunt Ge, who had never missed their conversation, scolded through the door: "Yaoyao, what are you doing?" ”

"I didn't make a fuss!" Ge Qinyao couldn't stand it anymore: "Why should the materials that my brother and I are looking for be handed over to them for safekeeping?" ”

"You...... You let me in! ”

Aunt Ge began to cough again.

Ge Qinyao, who couldn't let it go, clenched her fists and glared at Aunt Ge fiercely, and entered the bedroom with no way to hide her grievances.

Ge Huai followed her uneasily.

Uncle Ge has a good face, and he doesn't know how to get along with outsiders who have witnessed the dispute, so he takes his wife and children back to the bedroom.

The candlelight flickered, and the two reflections reflected on the wall swayed slightly, and then returned to calm after the wind blew.

Chi Yue and Wen Qizhou, who were sitting side by side, listened to a burst of sobs mixed with grievances, and fell into a long silence.

I don't know how long it took, but the sobbing stopped.

Ge Qinyao, who was wearing a slap print, and Ge Huai, who had an indistinguishable expression, walked in front of them and pulled out a smile in tacit understanding.

They were just about to sit down, and Chi Yue, who felt depressed, took a deep breath and said softly, "Let's go, let's go downstairs to eat." ”

"Where to eat?"

"In the car."

They got into the off-road vehicle, Chi Yue took out four boxes of self-heating rice from the space, and then Wen Qizhou turned on the lights in the car.

As the warm light poured down, she tore open the package of self-heating rice and looked through the windshield at the street lamp in the distance: "Do you plan to keep that family all the time?" ”

"No, it won't."

The brother and sister spoke in unison.

Ge Huai said with a cold face: "In another half a year, I will leave Qingyang with Yaoyao." ”

They were disgusted with their current life, and they were even more tired of facing relatives who were comparable to locusts, and if it weren't for their mother's repeated requests, they would have abandoned that family on the way to Qingyang.

Tolerance is the limit.

When their mother died, they would never let the locusts crawl on them, suck their blood, and eat their flesh.

"Hmm." Chi Yue didn't mention that family again, so as not to affect their mood: "When the time comes, let's go north together?" ”

Ge Huai was slightly stunned: "Okay." ”

He knows very well that it is impossible to go alone in troubled times, and only by joining them will the safety factor be higher.

"Going north? Is it going to Jingshi? Ge Qinyao's eyes lit up, and the previous worries all turned into joy at this moment.

"That's right."

"Chi Yunyan, will they also be together?"

"Probably not." Chi Yue took two mouthfuls of rice in her mouth, talked about the people who would go with them, and briefly described the personalities of Yan Shuo and Xie Changxiao so that they could understand.

Before she knew it, after lunch, she raised her wrist and stared at the dial, wanting to return to the Taoist temple with Wen Qizhou.

On the eve of parting, she handed Ge Qinyao a backpack full of supplies: "There are not many things, you take them first." ”

"Thank you, Yueyue."

Ge Qinyao did not refuse.

She leaned forward and approached the co-pilot to kiss Chi Yue's face: "I'll go to Source City to see you later." ”

"No, you don't." Chi Yue didn't want her to take risks, so she groaned for a while, and then said to her, "We'll come over next month." ”

"When?"

"At the end of the month."

agreed on a time to meet, Ge Qinyao and Ge Huai, who was carrying a backpack, got out of the car and reluctantly said goodbye to them.

"Yueyue." She pursed her lips and waved at them with concern in her eyes: "You must be safe!" ”

Chi Yuewaner: "Got it." She told them to close the half-open windows and leave the base.
