Chapter 20 - Apologies
"Aunt Liu, ......who is the old man just now?" Looking at the white-haired old man who had disappeared, Xiao Yi turned his head and asked Liu Xue.
"His name is Wang Yong, he is the head of our Yangliu Village, he is the most prestigious old man in our entire Yangliu Village, and he is also the oldest person in the whole village. Looking at the puzzled eyes on her face, Liu Xue explained with a smile.
"The oldest, how old is it?" Xiao Yi asked very casually, as for how the old man was prestigious, he didn't care, and there was no need to ask.
"Eighty. Liu Xue explained with a smile again, and at the same time, she looked at Xiao Yi at a glance, she knew that Xiao Yi would be surprised this time.
"What, eighty, how does it look like only fifty or sixty years old. Xiao Yi's face was stunned, extremely surprised, in his opinion, this old man was only sixty years old at most, how could he be eighty years old.
"I'm surprised!" Liu Xue asked with a smile.
"It's a little, I thought he was fifty years old!" Xiao Yi recovered from his surprise just now, and said naturally.
In this world, there are many things that surprise you and you can't think of it, but the key is that you don't pay attention to it, remember, many things, you can't just look at the surface, and most importantly, you still have to look at its essence. Liu Xue smiled again, what she wanted to tell Xiao Yi was not to be confused by the surface of things, but she felt embarrassed to say it, so she had to change her words.
"Thank you Auntie, I'll remember. Xiao Yi said with great gratitude, he always felt that there seemed to be some truth hidden in this sentence. It's just that Liu Xue didn't tell himself explicitly, besides, he vaguely felt that if he wanted to know the secret hidden here, he still needed to figure it out slowly.
"Alright, let's go in and have breakfast. I still have something to do, so I won't accompany you. Liu Xuedao, then, walked to the place where he left before, picked up the things that were placed on the ground and swept the floor, and began to sweep the yard again.
At this time, Xiao Yi involuntarily burst into tears again, and rows of tears were left along his eyes and on his cheeks.
Where the tears flowed, a clear watermark was also left. Like a road where water flows, crystal clear teardrops, shining in the light of the sun, like a transparent pearl, sometimes reflected by the sun twelve-colored light, like a colorful mirror, sometimes changing the light.
Liu Xue, who was not far from him and was sweeping the yard there, only concentrated on sweeping the yard. I didn't notice any changes on Xiao Yi's side.
In order to prevent Liu Xue from finding himself in tears, not to mention, what is worse now is that he feels that a large stream of tears is about to flow out.
In order to prevent something from happening. He quickly turned, covered his eyes, and rushed into the room.
As soon as he rushed to the room, the same large stream of tears he had felt earlier flowed out. At the same time, he let out a cry. Luckily, the cry was small. In addition, there was only one cry, so the cry was not exposed, otherwise, it would be strange if Liu Xue didn't find out.
Feeling a large stream of tears flowing out, Xiao Yi threw himself into the basin of hot water that had not yet completely cooled, scooped two handfuls of water with both hands, closed his eyes, put it on his face, and carefully washed his face.
As soon as he finished washing, he felt a little more comfortable, those tears had already been washed into the water, and his face felt much more relaxed at the same time.
"What am I doing today? How am I shedding tears. Xiao Yi, who felt a little more comfortable, muttered to himself in his heart, he didn't understand why there were so many tears today, especially the second time.
The reason why he cried for the first time was because he felt guilty because his strength had not improved, and the second time was because he was moved by Liu Xue's meticulous care for him, but unfortunately, he seemed to be a heartless thing, and he didn't appreciate it, even if he repaid it, he deceived her again and again, he was ashamed of this, felt guilty, and felt sorry for Liu Xue, so he couldn't help but leave tears.
"No...... No...... I can't. Xiao Yi shook his head with difficulty, and said in his heart, he was in a very troubled mood now.
If you want to stay calm and have a good mood, you must first rectify his troubled mood.
Although he is in a bad mood now, he understands that it is not terrible to make mistakes, what is terrible is not to know that he has made mistakes, he does not know how to correct them, and he has to keep making them.
Thinking of this, he opened his mouth and exhaled a breath of turbid air, absorbing a breath of fresh air, trying to calm his mind.
After such difficult conditions again and again, his troubled mind was sorted out by him, and those feelings of remorse, self-blame, and shame disappeared, his mood was much better, his face became much better, at least, there were no more tears.
After lowering his head again and washing up, he wiped his face very hard, tidied up his clothes, shook his spirits, and made himself flexible and cheerful.
After all this was cleaned up, he wanted to go out, but he saw the breakfast on the table, and immediately took it in both hands and began to eat. Since it was brought out by Aunt Liu, I have to eat it, otherwise. What's wrong with Aunt Liu Xue.
He ate the fruit in his left hand and the biscuits in his right hand, probably because he was hungry! It didn't take long for Liu Xue to bring it to be solved by him early, and there was nothing left.
After eating, he went out to find Aunt Liu, wanting to apologize to Aunt Liu, after all, people treat him well, and he can't be so heartless. However, he didn't expect that his eyes were now red and moist, which might be the reason why he had cried before!
After eating these early, Xiao Yi 'vomited', probably after eating breakfast, he no longer felt hungry!
Then he ran to the mirror, and he was surprised to find that his face had changed greatly, especially his eyes, which were ruddy. Only then did he realize that he must have shed a lot of tears before, otherwise, how could his eyes be ruddy.
He tried to calm his calm mind again, or it wouldn't be long before tears flowed again.
After doing all this, he closed the door and went out, he now decided to go to Liu Xue and tell Liu Xue everything clearly, or. After Liu Xue knew the truth of the matter, even if he didn't blame himself, he wouldn't be happy, besides, he still had to stay at Liu Xue's house for a while, he didn't want to live that kind of life in Tibet, so no matter what, he had to tell Liu Xue, even if Uncle Wang blamed himself.
Out of the room. Xiao Yi quickly scanned the surroundings with his eyes, and found no trace of Liu Xue in the entire courtyard, so he must have gone somewhere else.
So, he quickly ran out of the courtyard gate and came out of it.
Outside the gate, there is an empty dirt road in the shape of a square, and like the other sidewalks, it looks very hard, even if it takes a lot of effort. I'm afraid I can't turn it over like a ploughland.
Today, however, the dirt road is not the same as it used to be, and it no longer looks so dry. It also smells of moist earth, so I guess it was because of the rain yesterday!
Although it rained yesterday and the dirt road didn't seem too dry, it was still hard. Only the surface layer of soil is mud-colored, and the bottom layer is dry white.
In the middle of this empty dirt road, a concrete road is paved. Maybe it's the reason why it's inconvenient to walk in the rain!
At this time, there is occasionally a pool of rainwater that has not been precipitated on the whole dirt road, shining like a glowing pearl under the illumination of the sun, and sometimes it will emit a colorful light, like a pearl of changing brilliance. At this time, the rain on the cement road has long disappeared, leaving only a small watermark, presumably the rain seems to have been evaporated by the sun!
For these scenes, Xiao Yi ignored them, he didn't have time to see these, and there was no need to see these things that had nothing to do with him, now for him, the most important thing is to find Liu Xue, and then tell her all the things one by one, otherwise, he will regret it, for a person like Liu Xue who is good to himself and cannot be used to describe it, if there is something hidden, his heart will inevitably be condemned.
When his eyes looked along the cement road, he was surprised to find that Liu Xue was sitting there with his back to him, but unfortunately, the place where Liu Xue was sitting was a little far away from him, and besides, it seemed to be the end of the cement road.
He walked along the cement road, slowly walking on the cement road, quietly.
There were a lot of cement roads, and Xiao Yi's footsteps were big, so Xiao Yi had already passed two-thirds of the cement road in a few seconds, and one-third of the cement road was next to Liu Xue.
"Aunt Liu, what are you doing?" In order to prevent Liu Xue from being suddenly frightened by her arrival, Xiao Yi greeted in advance.
"Oh, it's okay, it's you, come here!" Hearing Xiao Yi's greeting, Liu Xue turned her head to look at Xiao Yi and smiled.
In fact, she had already sensed that Xiao Yi was coming, but she didn't rush to turn her head to look at Xiao Yi, she wanted to see what Xiao Yi was doing today.
Now that Xiao Yi has already greeted him, there is no need for him to pretend anymore.
Hearing Liu Xue's call, Xiao Yi's speed increased even more.
When he walked to Liu Xue's side, he found that the cement road here was not a real cement road, not as hard as a real cement road, but some hypocritical cement roads, besides, he also faintly felt that this cement road had some energy on it, presumably, this cement road was condensed by Liu Xue with his own energy!
However, whether it is condensed with energy or not, it is not important to oneself.
"Have you finished breakfast?" Looking at Xiao Yi standing beside him, Liu Xue asked with a smile.
"Well, after eating, the breakfast my aunt gave me is not only delicious, but also easy to eat, and now I can't even walk," Xiao Yi said.
"Flamboy, say it, what's the matter with me?" Liu Xue didn't have a good aura for Xiao Yi's praise of herself, besides, she knew that Xiao Yi, who lied to herself, came to find her, otherwise, he probably wouldn't have come to her.
Auntie laughed, what I said was true, how could Auntie see me as that kind of person. Xiao Yi felt the secret words in Liu Xue's words, and hurriedly quibbled.
"Whether it's that kind of person or not, you know it in your own heart. Xiao Yi, who felt the quibble, Liu Xue said.
"It seems that Auntie is a smart person! The previous time, it was indeed my fault, indeed, I said panic, and I apologized to Auntie here. Xiao Yi smiled, extremely happy, without any sincerity.
It's not that he doesn't want to be sincere, but he is afraid that sincerity will shed tears, so he has to look like a hippie smile on the surface, but in his heart he apologizes to Liu Xue very sincerely.
"Say whatever you like, say whatever you want, including your panic, it doesn't matter to me. Liu Xue stopped smiling, the corners of her mouth flushed slightly, and said.
She wasn't blaming Xiao Yi, just like some things, what if it was someone else's secret?
"Auntie, actually, I am looking for Uncle Wang'......"
"You have nothing to do with me looking for him, you just look for him. Before Xiao Yi finished speaking, Liu Xue directly interrupted him.
At this time, she had lost her smile and was expressionless.
"Actually, I was looking for him to learn from him. Although the words were interrupted by Liu Xue, Xiao Yi still insisted on speaking.
"What are you talking about, you asked him to learn from him?" Hearing this, Liu Xue's face was full of astonishment and surprise, she would never have thought that Xiao Yi came here to learn about this matter, and she would never have thought that Wang Fei, who had always been too lazy to even take homework, would actually teach Xiao Yi, which is a little impossible!
However, even if she was surprised, she had to believe that this was the truth, could Xiao Yi still be able to lie to himself this time, besides, how important this matter was to Xiao Yi, it was reasonable not to tell herself. (To be continued......)
