Chapter 2 This is the end of life
It's late at night, everything is silent, only a bright moon hangs high in the starry sky, and it is less than a week before the child enters school, but the twenty-tael school fee is for such a family, half a month to take out, it is very difficult, and there are some living expenses, and they have done their best to make up five or six taels, many relatives and neighbors are really powerless, can't help, some can borrow, why lend it to you, besides, the child is still young, and I don't know if I can become a talent in the future, so some capable people have not reached out to help.
Father Qin, who was sitting under the eaves, looked at the bright moon in the sky, quietly, motionless, and after a long time, he suddenly stood up, looked at the mountains in the distance, clenched his fists hard, and then turned around and went back to the house.
Looking at the sleeping child, with a faint smile on his face, as if he had dreamed of something happy, while the wife sat quietly on the edge of the bed, looking at her husband, her eyes revealed a little worry, Father Qin gently touched the child's cheek, looked at his wife, looked at the sallow but delicate face, couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart, after a while, he turned around and silently walked out of the house, Wang looked at the husband who was leaving with thin clothes, reached out and picked up the gray coat with many patches and walked out, and put the coat on the husband who was looking at the mountains in the distance, and whispered worriedly:
"You... Decided?"
After a while, Father Qin turned to look at his wife:
"I'm sorry, Qing'er. β
Knowing her husband Mo Ruo's wife, at this moment the inner worry became a reality, she knew what her husband was about to do, and what she would face, but she couldn't stop it, and she didn't know what she could help, looking at her husband's resolute eyes, she could only hold her husband's body guiltily, no words, but the tears in her eyes could not be stopped, and they quietly broke out of the frame and fell on her husband's shoulders. Father Qin's ears heard the ticking sound of tears falling and low sobs, but at this time, he couldn't think of anything to comfort her, he just patted his wife's back with his hand.
After a while, he helped his wife to the stool next to him, and tried to squeeze out a smile and said:
"Qing'er, don't worry, I'm just going to look at the periphery there, and I won't necessarily encounter any danger, after all, it's just a legend, and no one in the village has ever been, I just went there to hunt some beasts, except there, the valuable beasts in other places have basically been hunted, although I don't know how to hunt, but I also have a lot of strength, this is the only chance, otherwise Yu'er may only be the same as me in this life." β
Only then did Wang Qing tremble and say:
"Brother Yang, then you promise me, if you encounter danger, you will run, if it is too dangerous, come back, okay, I don't want you to have anything to do. β
"Okay, I promise you, I'll be back in three days at most, don't let Yu'er know, okay?" Qin Yang nodded and replied.
"Well, then I'll go pack some food for you to eat on the road. After finishing speaking, he turned around and cleaned up, then Qin Yang suddenly remembered something, walked to the locker at home, turned out a sword, the whole body of the sword was covered with patterns like fish scales, and the place near the hilt of the sword seemed to be three words, anyway, I couldn't understand it, about three feet long, this was when I went out and met a swordsman lying in the forest, he repaid his life-saving grace with a sword, but he just helped him up and gave him saliva to drink, and he took the sword home if he couldn't refuse, what Qin Yang didn't know was that if there was no water, there might be no legend laterγ I don't know how this sword was made, I accidentally found that it can be sharpened like clay, very sharp, I don't know what material it is made of, it is not very heavy, about four or five catties, but this sword is useless for heroes in his own place, and he doesn't hunt, and he uses it to chop wood and has no axe, so he put it away until now. Thinking that this sharp sword might be able to help him, he found a rag and wrapped it and tied it with the longbow he had borrowed from his brother's house a few days ago.
The sky was slightly white, Qin Yang moved the quilt for the child, and walked out of the house under the attention of his wife, walking very fast, and never looked back, until he passed the old locust tree that was swaying in the morning breeze, he turned around and looked deeply in the direction of the house, thinking about what the child had a dream last night, with a smile on his face, thinking about his own face.
"Yu'er, Qing'er, wait for me to come back. And so he turned and left.
Qin Zhongyu didn't see his father for two days in a row, and when it was time to eat, he just sat down at the dinner table and asked, "Mother, where did my father go, why didn't he come back for two days." β
Wang Qing looked at the child and didn't know what to say, but replied with an unnatural smile:
"Your father will go to the city to sell some things and pay you tuition, and you will have to study hard after you go to the city." Qin Zhongyu looked at his mother, and after thinking for a while, he happily replied:
"Well, mother, I will, I will study hard, and I will be a big official in the future so that you can live a good life. "I don't know what I was thinking.
Looking at the serious child, Wang Qing smiled and said:
"Eat quickly, you can't talk when you eat, come... Eat it... As he spoke, he gave Qin Zhongyu a dish.
After eating, Qin Zhongyu went out to play with Li Gou'er, after Qin Zhongyu went out, Wang Qing, who had finished cleaning up, sat under the eaves and looked at the mountains in the distance, but his fingers were gently and slowly rubbed.
Qin Zhongyu pushed open a fence door, and saw Aunt Li who was playing with vegetables in the courtyard, her real name was Zhang Qianqian.
"Aunt Li, he's busy, Brother Dog, is he at home?" said as he looked for the slightly chubby figure everywhere.
"Oh, it's Xiao Yu'er, the dog and his father went out, do you have anything to do with him?"
"Oh, Auntie, I don't have anything to do with Brother Dog, it's just that I'm going to school in the city next month, and I'm going to play with him. β
Zhang Qianqian stopped the work in her hand, looked at the barefoot little guy, and replied with a smile:
"Oh, yes, Xiao Yu'er is going to school in the city next month, and she will definitely be a promising child in the future, come, Yu'er will follow me into the house, and my aunt will have something to give you." β
"Oh, thank you, auntie. Qin Zhongyu replied happily, and followed Aunt Li into the house.
After a while, Zhang Qianqian walked out of the inner room with a pair of shoes,
"Come, Yu'er, try it, these were originally shoes made for your dog's brother, but I can't wear them when I'm too small, so I'll give them to you, I can't go to school in the city barefoot." β
"Auntie, I have shoes, but I'm barefoot when I'm not used to wearing them, and I took Brother Dog's shoes, my mother will be unhappy when she knows, thank you Auntie, since Brother Dog is not at home, then I'll go." Then he was leaving.
Brother Dog and he basically play together every day, and I don't know how big Brother Dog's feet are, and Brother Dog is also barefoot.
Zhang Qianqian also knew that this kid was smart and sensible, and knew that she couldn't deceive him, so she looked at Qin Zhongyu who turned around and said casually:
"By the way, Yu'er, did your father come back from hunting? A few days ago, he came to borrow your Uncle Li's bow and said he was going hunting. β
"Auntie, what do you say, my father went out hunting? But my mother said that he went to the city to sell things. Qin Zhongyu, who was walking, suddenly turned around.
Zhang Qianqian suddenly understood that Qin Zhongyu didn't know that his father was hunting, so she said:
"Oh, your father is out hunting, so naturally he wants to sell it in the city, isn't it? Go play, your father is probably coming back." β
"Well, Auntie, then I'll go. β
Qin Zhongyu, who went out, didn't have the heart to go to other friends to play, he just wanted to go home. As soon as I arrived outside the fence door of my house, I saw my mother in a daze under the eaves.
"Mother, I'm back. β
"Yu'er, I'm back so early today. Wang Qing hurriedly retracted his thoughts.
"Well, Brother Dog and his father went out, and I came back, mother, I want to ask you one thing, Dad, did he go hunting. β
Wang Qing's heart suddenly jumped, but she said with a smile on her face:
"Oh, you know it all, yes, your dad is out hunting, but don't worry, he should already be on his way back. β
"Oh, then I'm waiting for my father to come back in the yard, mother, are you also waiting for my father to come back just now. β
