Chapter 22: Rupture

Qian Ming'an took the booklet and looked at it, only to see the three big characters 'River Canal Chronicles' written on the old paper.

He casually flipped through a few pages and looked at them, and found that many of the pages inside had been torn up, and some places were marked with notes, which showed that the book had been read many times.

Su Shi didn't care about Qian Ming'an's thoughts, just stared at Xiting and continued: "I asked you to follow Uncle Zhong to learn the account, you are good, you look serious, but what is hidden under the account book is this 'River Canal Chronicle', today in order to see the Yichun River water, and also instructed Hongye to buy others to come to the Silk Village to make trouble, it is really becoming more and more lawless......"

When Qian Ming'an heard this, his eyes widened in surprise, and he frowned and glanced at Xiting, but in an instant, he pretended to be angry again: "Ting'er, how can you be so bold? That's what's wrong with you. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Xiting.

Qian Xiting immediately understood, lowered his head and said obediently: "Daddy's lesson is that my daughter knows that she is wrong, and she will never dare to do it again in the future." ”

Qian Ming'an stretched out his hand to cover the back of Su's hand and said with a smile: "Madam, look, Ting'er has made a mistake......

Su Shi shook off Qian Ming'an's overturned hand, pointed at him and scolded: "You shut up for me, the child is so lawless now, it's not all you are used to." ”

As she spoke, she threw out a wad of paper to Qian Ming'an: "Look at it, what does she write in the account room every day?" ”

Qian Ming'an didn't know what to expect, frowned and glanced at Xiting, picked up the pile of paper and looked at it, but the more he turned it, the more he turned it over, the more he drew the map of the river in various places, which marked the names of each river, the location of the water gate, and some of them even marked the riverbed information of the river, as if the river map was filed in the water supervision archive.

But when he flipped to a certain one, he suddenly paused, and then pulled it out alone and took it to Xiting: "Ting'er, your painting is wrong, there are three places where the tributaries of the Anning River flow out of Qingyu Mountain, and you only painted two places, no, no." ”

Hearing this, Xiting raised his head suddenly, and didn't care if Su was still angry, so he got up directly and came to Qian Ming'an, approached the paper in his hand, and pointed to the river map inside: "What's wrong?" Lantau Mountain is in Mobei, where ......"

But before he could speak, he was suddenly interrupted by Su Shi: "Okay! ”

When the two of them heard this, they were stunned for a moment, and looked at each other, good guys, they actually forgot that Su Shi was angry.

But before they could react, the next moment, Su Shi angrily picked up the 'Hequ Zhi' on the table, and still went to the stove where the paper money was burned in front of the table.

There was already some residual fire in the furnace, but now when it came to the paper, flames burst out, and in an instant most of the booklet was burned.

"I think ......," Su continued to say angrily.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, he saw a figure suddenly rushing to the stove, reaching into the stove, picking up the burning 'River Canal Chronicles' with his bare hands, kneeling on the ground and patting the fire on the corner of the book with his hands.

Qian Ming'an and Su Shi were both stunned, as if they were frightened for a moment, and they didn't move.

They never expected that Qian Xiting would pick up the book from the furnace like a chestnut in the fire, regardless of personal danger.

Xiting extinguished the flames on the 'River Canal Chronicle', and didn't care that his right hand had been burned red, and quickly flipped through the pages of the book, and found that it was all gray, and most of the words were black and mushy and couldn't read clearly.

At this point, she stopped the movements of her hand, carefully held the half-burned 'Hequ Zhi' to her chest, got up and looked up at Su Shi, her eyes were red, like a beast that had been robbed of her beloved things, and roared: "I have no mother since I was a child, and since I was a child, even my father has never stopped me from doing anything, you are just my father's continuation, why do you care about me?" You like business so much, just do it yourself, why are you pulling me? I will starve to death in the future, and it is not uncommon for this Su family to have half a cent! ”

When the words fell, I saw her holding the burned copy of the 'River Canal Chronicle' and running out of the ancestral hall door while wiping her tears.

Hongye stood outside the door and saw Xiting crying and ran out, and couldn't help but look into the ancestral hall, and saw that Su and Qian Ming'an were both standing in the hall in a daze, paused slightly, and hurriedly chased towards Xiting.

Qian Ming'an saw that Xiting had run out of the courtyard gate, subconsciously looked back at Su Shi, and saw that her body was paralyzed and suddenly fell back, so he hurriedly stepped forward and dragged her back, wrapped his arms around her shoulders and sighed: "Look at you, you know that thing is what she cares about the most, why do you bother?" ”

Su Shi came to her senses at this time, and her face, which was originally a little pale with fright, regained some color, she poked Qian Ming'an with her elbow, and said angrily: "It's not all you, you took her down the river with those river workers all day long, and now it's getting more and more unpresentable." ”

Qian Ming'an sighed: "Okay, okay, it's all my fault, it's all my fault." ”

Since the ancestral hall incident, Xiting has been hiding in his courtyard and has never gone out again.

She ate and slept all day, and lay down, and did not see anyone, as if she was not interested in anything, and even if Ping An encouraged her to go down the riverbank, she was indifferent.

And Su Shi also seemed to be angry, she didn't come to Xiting for a few days, and she was no longer allowed to go to the account room to check the accounts, just what she liked to do, she complained to Qian Ming'an, anyway, she couldn't take care of this white-eyed wolf, let him take care of it himself.

On this day, Xiting sat in front of the window with one hand on his cheek as usual, looking at the rain curtain outside the house in a daze.

After a long time, she reached out and put it out of the window, felt the raindrops falling on her palm, and muttered, "This rain, it should have rained for a day, right?" ”

Momiji heard that she was embarrassed to make a sound, looked towards the windowsill, and saw that she was sitting there in a daze, and couldn't help but sigh: "This rain started to fall last night, it's been one day." ”

After speaking, she said, "Miss, why are you bored in the house all day? Now that the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, I see a lot of interesting objects on the street, as well as some lanterns, why don't we go out and have a look? ”

Hearing this, Xiting opened his lips and wanted to reply, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Qian Mingan walking into the courtyard with an umbrella.

He came to the door, put away the umbrella and stood under the doorpost, stepped into the house and glanced left and right, and saw that Xiting was sitting in front of the window, stepped forward in a few steps, and said in a little hurry: "Ting'er, clean up, and follow Daddy to walk outside." ”

Xi Ting glanced at him and said listlessly: "I'm not going." ”

But Qian Ming'an seemed to be determined to let her go out, so he grabbed her arm and lifted it up: "Go out with Daddy, I have something to show you." ”

He pulled the Xiting and walked out, and ordered: "Red leaves, bring the umbrella to your young lady." ”
