Chapter 269: Waking up in the middle of the night
There are several women in the house who are busy making dinner in the kitchen. Before it was almost dark, Wang Baobao came home and accompanied the guests diligently.
Bring the dishes to the table and fill the table. The people in the mountains are sincere, and although the dishes are not good in color, they are delicious and not comparable to those in the city. The chickens are home-fed chickens, the fish are freshly caught from the small river ditch, the meat is home-smoked baced pork, the vegetables are freshly picked from the home-cooked vegetable fields on the hillside, and the wine is home-brewed baogu wine.
The family gathered around the benefactor, a table was full, even Qing'er sat aside, the family urged her to serve vegetables to the benefactor, she was not very shy, and gave Hu Qiong a piece of fish and a piece of chicken.
The Wang family all toasted Hu Qiong. The flavor of this wine is different from that of Jingzhou City, when you first drink it, the taste is very light, easy to eat, Hu Qiong feels the hospitality of his family, and he drinks a bowl in two sips, and his family is busy pouring wine. After seven or eight bowls, Hu Qiong felt that the world was spinning, and her eyes were slanted, and she was already drunk on the spot.
Hu Qiong drank a few more bowls, he was already drunk, his eyes were hard to open, his consciousness was confused, and he was anxious to find a bed to lie down, only to feel that someone helped him, sent him into a hut, sat on the edge of the bed, took off his shoes and socks, washed his feet, took off his clothes for him, fell on the bed, and someone covered him with a quilt. Hu Qiong's head was resting on the pillow, there was a wisp of fragrance, not like the honeysuckle fragrance on Qing'er's head, like what kind of fragrance, I couldn't figure it out, and fell asleep for a while.
Suddenly woke up in the middle of the night, just thirsty, looking for tea to drink, eyes have not yet opened, raise your hand to touch, smooth and soft touch, feel comfortable, just touch up and down, soft and soft, warm and slippery, like a human back, just take a touch, feel a delicate posture.
Hu Qiong woke up suddenly, opened her eyes, turned her head to look, there was a ball of black silk on her pillow, and half of her face was as red as fire.
Hu Qiong jumped up in fright and asked in a trembling voice, "Who are you?"
The man woke up, stood up, covered his chest, and the moonlight shone in through the small window, clearly Qing'er.
Hu Qiong hurriedly jumped off the ground, found that he was also naked, hurriedly covered his front body with clothes, and asked in a trembling voice: "Qing, Qing'er, why are you here?"
Na Qing'er was full of shyness, lowered her eyebrows and said nothing, and her arms were bare. Hu Qiong hurriedly got dressed and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was drunk and went to the wrong room." "I'm going to get out there soon.
When Qing'er saw this, she was so anxious that she wanted to shed tears, so she had to say: "Benefactor......
Hu Qiong turned around and said in a panic: "Please forgive Qing'er, I didn't mean to offend." ”
Qing'er muttered: "Don't blame the benefactor, I am, I am voluntary." ”
Hu Qiong hurriedly pushed his hand and said, "No, no." "I was in a hurry to pull the door and get out of the room.
Qing'er was so anxious that tears flowed down her eyes, and she shouted, "Benefactor......"
"How?"
Qing'er lowered her head and said softly, "My father and mother agreed." ”
"That's not going to work either. "Pull the door open.
"Benefactor, I ......"
Hu Qiong felt guilty in her heart, turned around, the moonlight was shining, the room was clear, and she saw tears in Qing'er's eyes, shining brightly. Hu Qiong was full of shame and said, "I'm really drunk, I haven't done anything ......."
Qing'er buried her pink face in the quilt and said softly: "The benefactor doesn't look down on me and thinks I'm ugly." ”
Hu Qiong hurriedly said: "Qing'er is beautiful," wanted to comfort the sad girl, thought about it, and said, "It's like honeysuckle." It's just, it's just that I shouldn't. "Be ruthless and walk out of the room.
Standing outside the room, I only heard sad sobs coming from inside the house. There was no sound in the hall, the doors and windows were closed, it was dark, Hu Qiong opened the door and walked outside the room. The crying in the house grew louder.
Hu Qiong stood in the courtyard, the moonlight was bright, the night in the mountains was silent, there were night birds chirping, like the sound of owls, the night was as cold as water, Hu Qiong was busy wrapping his clothes. The cries in the house continued to be heard.
"Benefactor, it's cold, let's go into the house. I don't know when Wang Baobao was already standing behind him.
Hu Qiong was ashamed, hurriedly walked a few steps, and walked to the stone mill, where the sound of the stream became louder in the quiet night.
Wang Baobao followed, and Hu Qiong turned his back to him. Wang Baobao said: "The benefactor saved my family's urgency, we are not people who do not repay our kindness." ”
Hu Qiong said: "I was drunk, but I didn't do anything." ”
Wang Baobao said: "We know that the benefactor is the son of Zhicheng. ”
Hu Qiong said: "I didn't offend Qing'er, I'll go down the mountain." ”
Wang Baobao said: "If it weren't for Engong, Qing'er would have married that paralyzed man, wouldn't she fall into the fire pit and ruin her life?" Engong saved her, and she dedicated her virgin body to her son, which is her blessing." Don't be embarrassed by the benefactor. ”
Hu Qiong shook his hand and said, "I don't do that beast's thing." ”
Wang Baobao was speechless, and said for a long time: "Benefactor's fifty taels of silver......
Hu Qiong said: "I don't need you to pay it back." So, he said that he was originally a wealthy family in Jingzhou City, because he was framed, he went to Chongqing to join his uncle, and the silver and jewelry in the package were all sent by the master on his deathbed, and the money was something outside the body, and he didn't value it.
"Little Lao'er's whole family is grateful!"
Hu Qiong said: "The big mistake has not been made, and Qing'er is still complete." I was just passing by here, and when I saw that you were afraid of difficulties, I helped you, and I had no other intentions. Don't talk about this matter anymore, I'm afraid it won't be good for Qing'er in the future. ”
Wang Baobao said: "It is not yet dawn, and there are still two hours, and the benefactor comes to this house to sleep." ”
Hu Qiong agreed. Wang Baobao led Hu Qiong to another room, drank tea, and fell asleep again. When I woke up the next day, the washing was finished, and Qing'er was no longer in the house, which also avoided embarrassment. After breakfast, Hu Qiong was determined to leave, but Wang Baobao saw that he couldn't keep it, so he had to follow him. All the way to Chongqing, it was all waterways, and the horses were not needed, so they stayed at Wang's house, helped feed them, and rode away when they came back.
Hu Qiong took out five taels of silver from the package and said, "This is the money for renting a boat, and I will pay it to your family first in front of the money for Anjia." ”
The family shook their hands and said, "This can't be helped, this can't be helped." ”
Hu Qiong said: "Where do I care about this silver." It's just that this time, I will definitely go to the mountains and rivers, and I don't know when I will come back, so I will leave the silver here for emergencies. ”
Hu Qiong's package contained enough silver and was generous, so the Wang family couldn't refuse, so they had to accept it.
Wang Baobao took his two sons and led Hu Qiong down the mountain together. The sky is bright, the sun has not yet risen on the mountain, the dew drops on the leaves and grass on both sides of the mountain road are shining, the air is fresh, the birds are singing, and the fragrance of honeysuckle lingers all the way. Halfway through, Qing'er ran over, her face full of shame, just like the morning glow on the green peak, she ran to Hu Qiong, took out a handkerchief, and said, "Here you go." ”
Hu Qiong unconsciously took the handkerchief, and had nothing to say, so she had to find a way to say: "Qing'er, you feed my horse." ”
Qing'er didn't answer, turned her waist, and hurriedly stepped on the ridge and ran away. Hu Qiong put the handkerchief in her sleeve.
Layers of terraced rice fields, full of greenery, there are a few egrets hovering over the fields. On the opposite hill, there was a sudden tactful and crisp singing:
The willows are green and the river is level, and the Langjiang River is singing.
The sun rises in the east and rains in the west, and the road is sunny but sunny.
The song came from the mouth of a young woman, drifting with the cool mountain breeze in the early morning, like a yellow warbler singing, the flowing spring dripping, crisp and crisp, infinitely affectionate.
So the group, with the amorous singing, walked down the mountain road step by step. When he came to the wharf and walked up to the boat, Wang Baobao took the helm, his youngest son went back, and the eldest son was sandwiched between the other three slender men, pulling the fiber on the winding mountain road, and the big boat slowly sailed along the Xiajiang River towards the west.
