Volume 1 The Adventures of Young Men Chapter 62 Yu Si
Erya's story is over.
Shen Qi and Jiu'er felt very heavy in their hearts.
For a moment, Shen Qi couldn't help but want to ask Cang Tian, why are people's fates so bad?
What did Wang Ergou do wrong? Was it wrong for him to beg for a living behind his sister's back? Was it wrong for him to work hard to make money to support his family? Was it wrong for him to like Qiuling? Or was it wrong for him to resist oppression?
What did Qiu Ling do wrong? Was it wrong for her to pity Wang Ergou and Wang Erya? Was it wrong for her to treat her brother and sister as relatives? Was it wrong for her to use money to ransom Wang Ergou? Or was it wrong for her to come from a Qinglou?
What did Wang Erya do wrong? Was it wrong for her to rely on her brother for her life? Was it wrong for her to treat Qiuling as a family member? Was it wrong for her to like baked sweet potatoes? Or was it wrong for her to have her legs broken?
Shen Qi didn't know the answers to these questions.
The sky was a little overcast, and the cold wind kept blowing.
"It's going to rain?" Jiu'er said softly, looking at the sky.
Shen Qi was stunned and muttered, "Rain, rain...... What is it like? Is it really as sad as it is in the novel?"
The owner of Yanyunfang also looked at the sky, and then beckoned the old bustard and the turtle to leave here.
Many of the girls in Yanyunfang also left, and in the end, only three people were left behind Erya.
"This son, it seems that it is going to rain, so you and your friends might as well follow me to the workshop to take shelter, okay?"
It was a woman in a goose yellow dress who spoke. Her name is Xia He, and she is one of Qiu Ling's few friends.
Before Shen Qi could speak, Jiu'er took the lead and said, "We understand the girl's kindness." It's just that Wang Ergou is our friend, and we want to wait for him here. ”
Xia He opened his mouth, and then Shi Shiran saluted and turned to leave.
"Sister Peach, Sister Xing'er, you guys should go back quickly. Er Ya said to the remaining two women.
"Erya, what do you say!" Peaches said, "We are sisters! ”
"Yes, Sister Qiuling is gone, you still have us!" Xing'er said.
Erya couldn't help but sniffle and said in a low voice, "Sister Peach, Sister Xing'er, thank you!"
Momoko reached out and touched Erya's head, and Apricot gave her a big smile.
Shen Qi couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart: These two girls really value love and righteousness!
"Boom—"
A muffled thunder sounded, and Shen Qi was startled, and then nervously raised his head to look at the sky, wanting to discover something.
Jiu'er couldn't help but smile and said in a low voice: "Shen Daxia, it's just thunder, why are you so nervous?"
"Hit ...... Thunder?" Shen Qi couldn't help but be stunned.
Shen Qi grew up in Bailuya, where the wind and snow were constant, and he had never seen rain since he was a child, let alone thunder!
The two girls, Peach and Xing'er, also seemed to be very surprised why Shen Qi was afraid of thunder, and their eyes looked at Shen Qi a little strangely.
Instead, Erya looked at Shen Qi and comforted him softly: "Big brother, you don't have to be afraid, God is crying when the thunder strikes!"
"Old ...... God...... Crying?" Shen Qi scratched his head, and immediately understood. "By the way, when I was younger, I heard people say that God is crying when it rains, right?"
Erya nodded, leaving Shen Qi with a faint smile.
Jiu'er secretly slandered: Obviously, he has recovered his memory, why are some things still the same as children? What a strange person!
"Huh?"
Shen Qi couldn't help but look up, a drop of rain fell on his face, cold and cold.
"It's raining. Erya said, "God is crying." ”
Shen Qi couldn't help but be stunned and muttered, "This ...... Is this what it is?"
Raindrops splashed on the ground, kicking up a trail of dust.
As the raindrops increased, the air began to fill the air with a thick earthy fragrance.
Shen Qi looked at all this in amazement, so novel.
The rain gradually became heavier, and the morning breeze blew the drizzle obliquely, and the rain rained down to moisten all things. also made Shen Qi intoxicated in this spring rain.
As the rain became heavier and heavier, the air began to be filled with water vapor, and the willow trees, the red pink river, and the smoke cloud shop in the distance were all filled with hazy mist, which was a little more sad.
In a few moments, the raindrops poured down like a curtain of scattered beads.
Shen Qi and the others were originally standing under the willow tree, but Jiu'er warned: "This is a thunderstorm day, and it is easy to be struck by lightning when standing under the tree." ”
The crowd planned to take refuge under the eaves in the distance.
But Wang Ergou in the distance was still kneeling on the ground and saying something, as if no matter how heavy the rain was, it couldn't separate him from Qiu Ling.
Everyone watched from afar, only to feel sour.
At this time, the rain that was about to soak through the clothes was suddenly cut off, and only the "crackling" sound of the rain falling on the ground remained.
Everyone couldn't help but look up, and there was an oil-paper umbrella above their heads.
"Sister Xia He!" Er Ya reacted the fastest and saw Xia He standing behind everyone.
"Sister He, why are you ......" Momoko was also a little surprised.
Could it be that Xia He didn't leave just now, but went to take an umbrella for everyone?
Xia He smiled and handed over two oil-paper umbrellas, and Shen Qi and Xing'er took them separately.
Shen Qi looked back at Wang Ergou in the rain, then turned his head and said to everyone: "I want to give Brother Wang ......"
Jiu'er didn't wait for Shen Qi to finish speaking, she gently pushed him and said, "Since you know, don't go quickly! ”
Everyone also smiled at Shen Qi.
Shen Qi nodded, holding the oil-paper umbrella in his hand, and ran towards Wang Ergou.
Peaches, Apricots, and Xia He have a somewhat complicated expression.
"Sister Xia He, thank you for coming back. Erya said in a low voice.
Xia He looked at Erya, showed a relieved smile, and said, "I am also Qiu Ling's friend." Besides, if you call me 'sister,' I can't see you getting rained here, can I?"
Erya nodded, her eyes misty again.
Xia He's expression was also a little sad, she stretched out her hand and pinched Erya's little face, wiped away the tears rolling down for her, and said softly: "Silly girl, why are you crying! Qiu Ling just went to another place...... A very distant place...... Sooner or later, each of us has to go. We'll be able to see her again. If she had known that you were sad for her day and night, and wept night and night, wouldn't she be sad? Do you want to make Qiuling sad?"
But she didn't want to doubt Xia He's words, so she nodded and said, "I know, Sister Xia He." I don't cry, I don't want to make Sister Qiuling sad. ”
Xia He gently pinched Erya's smiling face and smiled.
Peach and Apricot also clasped their hands and nodded at Erya.
Only Jiu'er's expression was a little complicated.
"Boom—"
A muffled thunder sounded, and Jiu'er said, "Let's not stay under the tree." ”
Everyone nodded and walked in the direction of Wang Ergou, but stopped twenty steps away.
"Ling, do you remember last year's Autumn Harvest Festival? I went to the field outside the king to steal a lot of wheat, and you said you wanted to give me baked cakes to eat. Speaking of which, the wheat grown by Wang Yuanwai's family is the best, and I don't know why......"
Wang Ergou's voice became a little hoarse, and he whispered. Shen Qi, who was standing behind him, listened to it word for word.
For some reason, Shen Qi felt very suffocated in his chest at this moment, and he had an urge not to vomit unpleasantly.
Gently propped up the oil-paper umbrella to Wang Ergou's side, and the rain slid down the umbrella surface to Shen Qi's back.
It is difficult for an oil-paper umbrella to cover two people.
Wang Ergou didn't look back, but he knew who the person behind it was.
"Erya...... I told you everything?" Wang Ergou said in a low voice.
"Yes. ”
"It's ridiculous, isn't it?" Wang Ergou smiled, but tears flowed out.
"No, I'm impressed. Shen Qidao.
"What are you moved by?" Wang Ergou choked up a little, "What is there to be moved by......! They are all fools! One falls in love with someone he shouldn't like! One lives with useless expectations! All of them are ...... Fool ......"
"No!" Shen Qi shook his head and said, "You guys...... You are not wrong, but the heavens are wrong!"
Wang Ergou suddenly cried bitterly, and his voice became louder and louder.
"Ling'er!ahh......hhh It's mine...... Didn't you say yes...... Say yes, when I've saved enough...... One hundred taels, can I redeem you?" Wang Ergou hugged Qiu Ling's corpse tightly and cried.
"We ...... It's not that it's good, and Erya is ...... Do you want to live happily?"
"You...... How dare you ...... you promise to be my wife!! How dare you break your word!"
"Qiuling, you...... Open your eyes...... Look at me again! I'm a dog!"
"Qiuling, ......"
Wang Ergou cried bitterly regardless of the image, and Jiu'er, Taozi and others who were standing in the distance wiped their tears. Erya and Xia He hugged each other and cried bitterly.
The rain became heavier and heavier, as if determined to drown out Wang Ergou's bitter wailing.
In the distance, the side door of Yanyunfang slowly opened, and the old bustard stood at the door, looking at Wang Ergou who was crying in the rain, his expression was a little sad and hesitant.
Jiu'er's eyes were sharp, and she saw the old bustard not far away. Although I can't see the old bustard's expression clearly, those who can still come out to take a look at it at this time are either those who have a very good relationship with Qiuling, such as Peaches, Apricots, and Xia He. Either there is some secret, which makes her very entangled in her heart, and she doesn't know whether to tell it or not.
It seems that after a while, I will go and have a good talk with this bustard. Jiu'er said secretly.
Shen Qi looked at Wang Ergou who was crying without caring about his image, and seemed to have a realization in his heart.
At the beginning, when Wang Ergou and Wang Cheng, the stall owner of the oil cake stall, talked about Qiu Ling's death, they looked like they were talking about a trivial matter, as if they didn't care at all, and they covered it up very well.
Later, after Shen Qi learned that the dead Qiu Ling was the one who died by accidentally eating poisonous ginseng because of the fake medicine case, he became a little curious about this matter. At that time, Wang Ergou was still trying his best to hide it, and it was not until he made it clear that he had doubts about Qiu Ling's death that Wang Ergou began to behave a little to defend Qiu Ling.
It was also at that time that Shen Qi knew that Wang Ergou originally liked Qiu Ling.
But he had disguised it too well.
Come to think of it, Wang Ergou is a gangster, dealing with people all day long, what kind of person has not been seen? The real thoughts in his heart have long been well concealed!
But that doesn't mean that this kind of person doesn't have sincere feelings!
In fact, on the contrary, Wang Ergou's feelings for Qiu Ling and his sister Erya have no impurities, so pure!
Isn't it the same for Qiu Ling, who is in the Qinglou?
These people at the bottom, even those who are looked down upon, are just trying to survive! Even most of them cherish life and hard-won emotions more than ordinary people!
The feelings of the gangsters, the feelings of the women in the green building, at first glance it sounds like a joke. is like Wang Ergou himself said: "How can the woman in the Qinglou have any emotions at all?"
But in fact, they crave a sincere relationship more than anyone else!
Shen Qi couldn't help but think of what the fifth sister once said, a sentence in this novel: Every time you slaughter dogs, you are a reader.
