Chapter 10 I seek sorrow
Yun Chan, a young man sat behind the counter with his cheeks on his cheeks, staring at the traffic on the street with an expressionless face, his eyebrows straight, making people feel a little cold, and he turned Yun Chan into a quiet place in the midst of the noise.
A fat man walked in, with a big belly that couldn't be contained, and put an envelope on the counter.
Cao Mu said in a gentle tone as much as possible: "This is your mother's method of making sauce for others before, and I got it back for you." ”
Yang Xiaoyang looked down, "No need, I've already sold the store." ”
"Why is that?" Cao Mu asked with a frown.
"There are more people buying sauce, but I don't want to look them in the eyes. ”
After a pause, Cao Mu understood, presumably the young man's self-esteem was unwilling to see mercy and charity, "Then what about the livelihood of your brothers and sisters?"
"I can't spend all the money left by my mother in my life, and if I do, I'll spend it. ”
Cao Mu sighed, didn't say anything more, left the envelope on the counter and turned to leave, only to hear an inaudible thank you when he was about to Izumo-chan.
The next day, the store originally called Yun Sauce changed its owner and changed its name, called Changcun.
According to the guests who bought the sauce, the taste of the sauce is exactly the same as that sold by Yun sauce, but there is a new sauce, which is slightly changed on the basis of the original, which is more in line with the taste of the people of Shudi, and the queue of people who buy the sauce can be lined up outside the city for a while.
Yang Xiaoyang, who sold the shop, returned to the forest not far from his home, knelt in front of the graves of his mother and Uncle Xu, and placed three apples without burning paper.
Chu sleeve one, Uncle Xu two.
Yang Xiaoyang knelt quietly for a while, and after a while, his body couldn't help but fall to the ground, and he sobbed: "Mother, what should I do? I don't know where to find the murderer, where will Xiao Di and I go in the future? Why don't you let me go to my father? Why didn't my father come to us? He is the regent of the imperial court, why can't he even protect the two of them?"
I sobbed on the ground for a long time, and when I got up again, although there was no trace of crying, I couldn't help but exude my fear, and I just walked towards the yard as expressionless as possible.
In late autumn, the fallen leaves in the forest are spread red, and the sun is empty, and it looks a little hot.
Before Yang Xiaoyang walked out of the forest, he saw some blood stains on the red fallen leaves, all the way to the direction of home.
Yang Xiaoyang was startled, a little worried about Xiao Di, and hurried to the house, but the blood was half gone, but he saw a flower cat lying under a tree, and a wound on his leg was bleeding.
It was the time of sadness and pity, Yang Xiaoyang didn't expect that there was no beast nearby, and how the cat was injured, so he walked over, but he was also a little cautious, worried that the cat would scratch him.
Unexpectedly, the cat was not wild at all, and looked at him with wide eyes.
Yang Xiaoyang actually felt pity in his eyes, but this time he was not disgusted, "Little guy, you yourself are injured, are you still free to pity me?" After speaking, he picked it up and went home.
In the yard, Xiao Di was trying to persuade the ants outside the yard to move in, standing on the edge of the fence and muttering something to say.
Children's grief always comes and goes quickly, and the pain of losing a loved one is no longer on the face, or because of the experience, it seems strong.
When Xiao Di saw the little sheep coming back with a kitten, she shouted, "Wow, little flower!"
Yang Xiaoyang was stunned for a long time, who was he calling, and when he reacted, he asked in a ghostly manner: "Do you know?" After asking, he wanted to slap himself.
"Ah, why is Xiaohua bleeding?" Xiao Di ignored Yang Xiaoyang, staring at Xiaohua's legs with a pair of eyes.
"I don't know, let's go into the house and find a clean cloth for Xiaohua to wrap up. ”
The two of them named the cat in a few words, and Yang Xiaoyang pulled a clean cloth to tie up the wound, and took out water and food.
The cat knew at a glance that it hadn't eaten for a long time, and it had eaten a lot, but when it ate, it gave Yang Xiaoyang a feeling of slowness and order.
After eating the food, he bowed his head on the ground with his forelimbs, as if he was thanking him.
Yang Xiaoyang just wanted to say no thanks, when he saw the cat take a step into the inner room. One moment look at this, the next moment smell it as if it were patrolling the territory.
Yang Xiaoyang suddenly remembered that there was an "old house" left by a former resident in the courtyard, and he also made a pile to reinforce it, so that this little hooligan who seemed to be going to rely on it would not leave.
As soon as he thought of this, he went to get an axe, which frightened Xiao Di, and quickly stopped him, "Little sheep, Xiaohua just went into the house to see, why is this so?"
It seems that it is still beneficial to study with Mr. Nanshan, Yang Xiaoyang raised his eyebrows while thinking like this, and his eyebrows, which had been flat, finally bent, "I moved the hut in the yard for Xiaohua to live in, what do you think I am going to do?"
Xiao Di was also not misunderstood, squatted down and touched Xiaohua's head, and just wanted to speak, he found that he had touched a layer of soil on his hand......
Xiao Di looked at her hand with a confused expression, and then looked at Xiao Yang's hand, "Xiao Yang, you bathe Xiaohua first." ”
Yang Xiaoyang paused with the axe and looked at his clothes, which were originally light-colored and darker. He turned the axe in his hand and poured water.
"I said you take a shower, you take a shower, what are you scratching me...... I'm going to wipe you dry, and I don't want you to die, what are you making a fuss about?"
After a lot of effort, Xiaohua was finally washed, and Yang Xiaoyang muttered: "Where did you come from, can you get so dirty?"
Xiaohua paused and licked Yang Xiaoyang's hand.
Then Yang Xiaoyang dismantled the previous hut and put it in the corner of the house again, and pointed very arrogantly, "Okay, Xiaohua will live here in the future." ”
Xiaohua looked at the five planks, and before she had time to sympathize with the previous resident, she heard Yang Xiaoyang say: "When your legs are healed, you can catch mice and sparrows by yourself to eat, let's cover them or not." ”
Xiaohua suspected that this was revenge before revenge, and meowed and rested in the house.
Yang Xiaoyang's original sad mood was much better, but the murderer still didn't have any clues, and he didn't know if there was a mastermind, and he also didn't understand why he and Xiaodi were fine.
While being troubled, I also had too much confusion about the future, and I turned my head to look at Xiaodi and Xiaohua playing, and suddenly had an idea that this kind of life was not bad......
A month passed in a trance, and time once again showed its strength, gradually smoothing out the sadness and browning.
On this day, Yang Xiaoyang took Xiaodi to start the great cause of patrolling the city again, and Yang Xiaoyang was still holding Xiaohua in his arms.
In the past month, Xiaohua's injury has healed, and what she said before is a joke to control whether she eats or not, Xiaohua has eaten a lot of delicious food with the two of them, and she has gained a lot of weight.
Xiao Di handed the remaining sugar gourd to Xiao Di, Xiao Yang handed the little flower in his arms to Xiao Di, and after the two handed over, they entered the restaurant, and found a seat in the corner, Xiao Di put Xiao Hua on the stool, and Xiao Hua obediently held her hands and lay down.
Originally, Xiao Er was worried that the cat would disturb the other guests if he couldn't control it, but he didn't care when he saw that the cat was so well-behaved and sat in a remote place. As soon as Xiao Di finished ordering, it was boring waiting for the food, and Yang Xiaoyang heard the guests at the table next to him say: "Eh, have you heard, Mingwu's Chengen Gong has been convicted and sent to prison." ”
"Ah? This Cheng'en Gong was sealed by the first emperor, who would dare to convict him?"
"Who else could there be? General Yang, of course. ”
"Oh. That's not surprising. What kind of crime is that?"
"I don't know, the DPRK only said that he was guilty, but he didn't say anything about it. ”
Yang Xiaoyang was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but think of the murder of his mother and Uncle Xu, so he guessed that this Chengengong might be the mastermind and was found by his father and convicted.
Thinking of this, I suddenly felt a little light, and the smile in the corner of my eyes returned.
It's just that Yang Xiaoyang doesn't understand what he has lost, and he feels satisfied that he has revenge.
......
In the evening, Yang Xiaoyang came to the grave of his mother and Uncle Xu, knelt on the ground and said: "Mother, and Uncle Xu, my father seems to have found the mastermind who killed you, and he was convicted and sent to prison. But this is still my father's fault after all, the dignified general can't even protect a few people, although I find the mastermind, I still won't forgive him. ”
Speaking of this, his tone became brisk, "I'm ashamed to say that I don't even know what your name is, Uncle Xu." Uncle Xu, don't talk to me below, burn a good knife for you next time. After saying that, he smiled self-deprecatingly.
"Mother, after I sold the store, I seem to know what it means to ask for fate. And I found that this trader weighs the gains and losses all the time, but he may also know better what cannot be weighed with the gains and losses. Yang Xiaoyang felt that it was rare to think positively, but unfortunately he couldn't hear his mother's praise in the end.
"I don't seem to have anything I really like as a person, and I don't really want to do anything. I don't know what I'm going to do after you two are gone, and every day is dull, but I like it.
I hope you can bless me and Xiao Di to be safe and happy, and spend the rest of our lives happily. Originally, I wanted to find an old gentleman for Xiao Di to continue studying, but there was no way, and we ordinary people couldn't enter the school. That's it, don't talk about it, let's go. ”
After speaking, he got up and wanted to leave, paused, and turned around again, "Mother, I used to admire your ability to calm down at that time, I have studied for a long time, and this may be the longest thing I have insisted on in my life, but I still found that I couldn't learn it after all."
Not to mention making life quiet, sometimes I can't calm down myself. Later, I thought that maybe I wasn't born a serious person, and I don't want to learn in the future, so you should be able to understand. I'm really gone this time, and I'll see you later. ”
Yang Xiaoyang sighed after speaking, and walked away with Xiao Di jumping up, his eyebrows were crooked, and his slanted eyes smiled like a crescent moon.
The wind blew through the weeds in front of the tomb, rolling up a few fallen leaves and flying into the air......
