12. The third round is a sound
Qiu Bai said: "The son of the Shen family is notorious, but he doesn't want to be his turn, so he will go to the forcible rope, before going to Yueyang Tower, I have left a letter to my father and mother, indicating my heart, I will swear to die, and it is inevitable that they will die, and they will leave Baling as soon as possible, and repay the grace of nurturing in the next life." Presumably they're long gone. Xie Li said suspiciously: "Why do you want to go forcibly?" Qiu Bai sighed: "It's not a good thing, don't ask again." Xie Li said: "Okay, don't ask." ”
Thinking of his father and mother, Qiu Bai shed tears again: "On the upper floor of Yueyang, I guess that my father and mother have left Baling, so I am determined to die, who expected that Fang Fang would pull out the scissors, and a person's voice sounded in my ears, teach me how to do it, and you know what happened after that." Xie Li said: "It seems that it is really not a good thing, and they are all determined to die...... You won't let you ask...... Dream...... Could it be that God did it?" Qiubai wiped away his tears and said: "The reason is really difficult to explore. ”
The two of them were silent for a while, and they were both dreaming about it.
After walking for a while, turning a small forest, Xie Li raised his head forward: "Yao, that's my home." Qiubai followed Xie Li's hope, and saw a family, a few low houses, and a small courtyard with a single door, and the smoke went straight up, quiet and leisurely. Although it can't be compared with its own pavilions and pavilions, it is lonely, but at this time, it seems that there is an indescribable kindness.
Before coming to the chaimen, he saw a beautiful woman walking out of the house, carrying a small wooden bucket in her hand, and a coarse cloth floral apron tied around her waist, and said: "Why did you come back? If you are not hungry, you don't ......know" Seeing Xie Li holding a man and a woman in white standing outside the chaimen, he was quite puzzled and stopped talking. Qiubai listened to the voice, feeling a little pity between the slight anger, thinking that he might not be able to hear his mother speak again in this life, he couldn't help but feel sad, and he just wanted to listen to a few more words, but who knew that he stopped.
With all his strength, he opened a firewood door, followed Xie Li into the courtyard, walked in front of the beautiful woman, and saw that she was fresh and beautiful, in her thirties, although she was in her thirties, although she was in a cloth skirt, she still faintly revealed a beautiful atmosphere.
Xie Li called "mother" and said to Qiubai: "This is my mother, you can call Aunt Xie." This woman is Xie Li's mother, but she has a name that is rare for ordinary women, called "Ye Qianqian", but only Xie Li's father knows it.
Qiu Bai gave a deep salute and said timidly: "I've seen Mrs. Xie." Xie Li asked her to call Ye Qianqian "Aunt Xie", but Qiubai called "Mrs. Xie", Ye Qianqian did not answer, looking at Xie Li, full of doubts, Xie Li said happily: "Wonderful, wonderful, no one has ever called my mother Mrs. Xie, from now on, my mother will be called Mrs. Xie." Oh, my arm is so sore, let's find a place to place him first. Ye Qianqian "oh" for a moment, flashed open the door of the house, glared and said: "You are naughty, did you cause some trouble? What's wrong with this person? Let's put it in your room first." ”
Xie Li hurriedly rushed into the house, Qiu Bai wanted to follow in, but he felt that it was inappropriate, so he stood at the door, wanting to wait for Ye Qianqian to go first. Ye Qianqian also stood there still, looking at Qiu Bai carefully, and saw that her neck was dyed red, her legs were weak, and her hands didn't know where to put them.
I only heard Xie Li shouting: "Mother, come on! Ye Qianqian put down the barrel, left Qiubai, and turned around and entered the room. Qiu Bai was relieved and followed in. As soon as he entered the hall, a middle-aged man came in from the back door, with a square face and black beard, tall and strong, carrying an ax in his hand, presumably Xie Li's father, who saw the stranger, was slightly stunned, and asked, "You...... Who are you?" Qiu Bai hurriedly saluted, and just as he didn't know how to reply, Xie Li shouted again: "Dad, Dad, where are you? Come on." The man hurriedly dropped his axe and flashed into Xie Li's room.
The axe "clanged" and fell to the ground, which shook Qiubai's heart, thinking about whether to go in, and thinking that it was a man's bedroom after all, and as a woman, he should not go in, but he didn't know how to deal with himself, so he had to stand alone in the hall. Seeing that the house was very simple, there were not many things, and there was no worship of the ancestors, but all the things were placed in a staggered manner, and they were extremely neat, and at a glance they knew that the hostess was a person with a heart.
Ye Qianqian was summoned in by Xie Li, and saw that Xiao Qingcheng was seriously injured, and he was a woman after all, so he asked Xie Li to call his father Xie Sijiu. Xie Sijiu didn't know who Qiubai was, and when he saw that he didn't look like a country girl, he looked like the eldest lady of which family, and asked, "Li'er, is that person coming with you?" Xie Li said: "Don't say it, forget it, it's with me, it's not too late to talk when you're free, let's see what this person will do first." Xie Sijiu didn't finish his words, and then saw Xiao Qingcheng on the bed, and asked: "Why is there another one? Are they together? Where did they come from?" Xie Li said: "I rescued me from Baling, don't talk about it yet......" Xie Sijiu said: "You still save people?" Your mother doesn't listen to her words, and she causes trouble everywhere, oops! Why is it so hot, it seems that this trauma is not light. Reaching out to untie the cloth shirt wrapped around Xiao Qingcheng's waist, Ye Qianqian hid his eyes when he saw this, and said in a low voice: "Brother Jiu, if you can't get it, please ask Mr. Shan." "Mr. Nashan is a barefoot man in this neighborhood, no one remembers his surname, only the word "good" in his name, and he is looking for him to see if he has a headache and brain fever in ten miles and eight villages.
Ye Qianqian came out of the house, saw Qiubai standing in the local area at a loss, smiled faintly, and asked: "Girl, where are you from, what is your name?" Qiubai saw her smile, so moving, the ink pen is difficult to write, although she is a woman, she is also a little infatuated, when she asks again, Fang came back to her senses and said: "Mrs. Xie, my real surname is Qiu, and my single name is a 'white' character, from Baling." Ye Qianqian said: "Don't call Mrs. Xie anymore, just call your aunt." Are you with the person you brought back from Li'er?I heard Li'er say that he saved the person?" Qiu Bai said: "I am not with that person, but that person was saved by Brother Xie." Ye Qianqianqi said: "Brother Xie?" Qiu Bai mosquito said: "Xie Fu...... Auntie, this is a long story, you ...... Let's ask Brother Xie. ”
Ye Qianqian saw that Qiubai didn't want to say it directly, and sighed and said: "My Li'er has been crazy since he was a child, and he can't speak accurately, so it's better not to ask him." Qiu Bai said: "Brother Xie...... He...... If it is true, it is also quite tasteful. Jue's words were not very accurate, and he said: "Even if this is not the case, it can also be said that 'the ancient road is hot'." Ye Qianqian's face was flushed with a hint of joy, and he said, "Thank you Miss Qiu for your kind words." Still wanting to ask, Xie Li rushed out of the house and said, "Mother, I'll go and invite Grandpa Shan." Hmm, don't let Miss Autumn stand here...... "The wind is gone."
Ye Qianqian looked at Xie Li's back and sighed again: "I don't know when I will be able to set a shape." Then he turned to Qiubai and said, "Girl, tonight...... But do you want to spend the night here? I have a husband and a son here besides me, and even the man is a man, so I am afraid that there will be a lot of things wrong. I don't know ...... your Baling's home" Qiu Bai was about to cry, and said in a low voice: "I don't have a home anymore, even if I have a home, it will be difficult to return." I couldn't hold back as he spoke, and two tears fell straight down. Ye Qianqian saw that she seemed to have a hidden feeling, and when she mentioned family matters this time, she was so sad, and she also had a trace of pity, and said: "Girl, don't cry, it's just ......" muttered, "Come with me." Then he took Qiubai to a narrow house and said, "Pengmen Shuhu, you will settle here tonight." Qiu Bai said: "There is Aunt Lao." Ye Qianqian smiled: "It's good if you don't dislike it." Rest here for a while, and I'll come as I go. With that, he drifted away, leaving Qiubai in this hut. This hut has a small window on the north side, and a bamboo bed in the corner of the wall, and the furnishings are also very simple, but they are also clean.
Suddenly, I heard footsteps in the courtyard, and wondered if Xie Li came back and opened the door and went out.
I saw Xie Li carrying a suitcase, and brought in a hunchbacked old man with a white beard outside, who looked to be over seventy years old, and the pockled dignitaries with a face the size of mung beans were extremely uncomfortable. He was followed by a dirt dog, with half-length black fur and only two white stars on his eyes. Xie Sijiu came out of the room and said, "So soon! The old man's voice was like iron: "I happened to meet him, and I didn't know if it was easy to handle a doctor." "One glance at Qiubai, and then no more. Xie Li waved his hand at Qiubai and entered the house.
Qiu Bai had no choice but to return to the house, with a lot of thoughts in his heart: "I don't know who Brother Xie's mother is." She must have read the book, but she didn't know why she was here to stay idyllic. And I and she seem to have met several times before, and I can't remember where we have seen them, so it is like meeting each other at first sight. But she was cold, even hostile to me, somehow. Yes, when we met for the first time, I haven't explained the reason yet, and I can't ask people to ask for warmth as soon as they come up. Thinking about it like this, I felt a little relieved in my heart, and then thought: "But I really don't know why I'm so cold." She and Brother Xie are mother and son, but their temperaments are so different. Looking at the couple again, one is elegant and fresh, engraved with a hint of arrogance, and the other is rough and a little cheesy. How could they have married their own children? Brother Xie looks like his mother more......
Then he remembered that his father and mother did not know where he was, and he said in his heart: "They must think that I am no longer in this world, so although I have relatives in this world, it is no different from having no relatives and no reason." In this way, isn't this Xie the closest person to me in this here and now? He promised to save me for no reason, but he also ......."
After about a cup of tea, listening to the three people go out, Qiubai hurriedly got up and stuck it at the door. After a while, he heard Xie Li shouting: "Mother, I'm hungry!
When Qiubai heard Xie Li call her, her heart swelled, she almost wanted to cry, opened the door, and said in a trembling voice: "Brother Xie, I ...... I'm here. Xie Li said: "I just knew that my mother let you live in the north house, hehe." Xie Sijiu was walking into the house from the outside, as if he was going to ask something, and when he saw Qiubai, his words retracted. Qiu Bai Yingying bowed her head and said, "I've seen Uncle Xie." Xie Sijiu looked very embarrassed and replied, "Hey...... I've seen it, I've seen it ”
Ye Qianqian picked up the bed and futon, and was about to send it to Qiubai, and came to the hall, but when he saw the flagpole of the three people standing there, he said: "Li'er, what did your good grandfather say?" Xie Sijiu saw Ye Qianqian, as if he had seen a savior, and rushed to say: "Mr. Shan said that it is not in the way, leave a few pills, and say that you can move in five days, and it will be all fine in half a month." As he spoke, he walked towards the kitchen, "Li'er just said that he was hungry, so let's eat." When Xie Li heard that he was going to have dinner, he was very interested and asked, "Mother, what are we going to eat today, there are so many people, is it enough?" Xie Li hurriedly said: "Miss Qiu, where are you talking, how can you be literate." Didn't you forget? Don't you tell me where I'm going to go, and now that I'm home, you deserve to go home with me. ”
Qiu Bai will never forget, her words seem to be said to Xie Li, but she is actually talking to Ye Qianqian, how can Ye Qianqian not know? She walked up to Qiu Bai and said calmly: "Didn't Fang Cai arrange your house, and asked you to stay overnight, why did you mention it again?" handed the things in her hand to Qiu Bai, "We are not as good as a big family, these things are wronged girls." You take it back to the house first, clean up, I see you're hungry too, let's eat later." Seeing Qiubai go back to the house, he said to Xie Li: "Can that person eat?" Xie Li said: "Grandpa Shan said that if he takes medicine at the right time, he will wake up, but he will fall asleep again, and when it comes to eating, he will have to wait until the morning after tomorrow." ”
That night, the four of them set up a table in the hall and gathered around for dinner. Qiu Bai saw a lot of things before, Mo said that he had eaten them, and he had never seen them, all of them were some coarse rice, mussel soup, and only some wild things had been tasted. Xie Li picked up vegetables for a while, added food for a while, and was very busy, Ye Qianqian persuaded: "Don't ask people if Miss Qiu is used to eating, just add it to others." Xie Li said: "I must be used to eating." Qiu Bai said: "Auntie's food is very delicious and delicious." Ye Qianqian said with a smile: "It's really a joke, how can the food of the countrymen be as good as the people in the city, but Miss Qiu likes it." Xie Sijiu said: "Li'er, at this time, tell your father and mother what is going on." ”
Xie Li patted the back of his head and said, "Don't say it, forget it." Qiu Bai couldn't help but smile, and said in his heart: "It seems that Brother Xie's 'don't say it, but forget it' is a familiar stream." Xie Li saw Qiu Bai laughing, and he was even more energetic, so he talked about the truth of the matter, looked at Qiu Bai from time to time, and waited for her to nod to confirm that what she said was true, of course Qiu Bai was very agreeable, and sometimes he nodded himself without waiting for Xie Li to look at her. Xie Li said that when he was in the mood, he danced with his hands, only to hear Xie and Ye put down the dishes and chopsticks, and listened attentively.
After Xie Li finished speaking, Xie and Ye looked at each other for a long time, silent. After about half an hour, Ye Qianqian said: "Dreaming...... Curse ...... Leave the son, and you will be able to get rid of me. Xie Liben was still on the rise, and when he heard his mother say this, he was short and muttered: "I didn't lie, don't worry, I'm fine." Ye Qianqian said: "That scene is too dangerous, how can my father and mother rest assured?" Xie Sijiu said: "Lady, there are guests today, don't talk about it again." Ye Qianqian immediately gave up when he heard this. Xie Li secretly stuck out his tongue at Qiubai and grimaced. Qiu Bai's heart sank, because none of her father and brother in her family were similar to this Xie Li, and the men in the servants all bowed their heads sideways when they saw her, and they didn't dare to laugh with her.
Ye Qianqian glanced at Qiu Bai and said, "Miss Qiu, listening to Li'er's words, you two seem to have dreamed of the same person?" Qiu Bai said: "This is what Brother Xie guessed, and I don't dare to sit on it." He thought to himself: "It seems that this Xie family is in charge of this aunt's affairs, and this aunt has to make up her mind for everything, and she will ask what she asks, and this Uncle Xie seems to care about nothing." ”
Ye Qianqian said again: "Brother Jiu, what do you think is going on?" Xie Sijiu said: "What the lady doesn't know, I don't know." The world is so big, and coincidences are common. Ye Qianqian said: "Li'er, why was this Xiao gang leader hunted down and killed, didn't the person in the dream tell you." Xie Li said: "That's not what I said. Saying that, looking at Qiu Bai, Qiu Bai said: "He didn't tell me, he only said that there would be a big chaos outside Yueyang Tower, and he asked me to flee while the people of the Shen family were concentrating." Ye Qianqian said: "He is lying in our house, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse." Xie Li said: "No one saw me carry him home." Ye Qianqian said angrily: "How do you know that no one in that city recognizes you?" Xie Li felt very reasonable when he heard this, so he said in a low voice: "Those two heroes of Hengshan were recognized by the wicked man, I don't know what is going on now?" Ye Qianqian said: "How do you compare with the masters of martial arts?" Xie Sijiu said: "Li'er is also chivalrous, don't blame him." ”
When Ye Qianqian heard Xie Sijiu speak, his words softened and said, "Brother Jiu, you just protect him, he is so bold." If it's chivalrous, it's okay, but I'm afraid I don't know the depths. Raising his right hand, he pulled the hair on his temples behind his ears, and looked at Xie Sijiu with a pair of wonderful eyes. Qiu Bai's heart was pinched by someone, and he secretly thought: "It's just for a misunderstanding, and there is no lack of harshness between her words, but this Uncle Xie only needs a word, as if he is holding down her pulse, just bow his head to his ear, and it is really a thing to drop a thing." ”
Xie Li asked, "Miss Qiu, are you okay?" Qiu Bai said "um" at this time: "Uncle, aunt, Brother Xie, if there is nothing else, I want to go and rest first." Ye Qianqian said: "You're tired for a day, go quickly, and your uncle will go to inquire tomorrow." Qiu Bai got up and left, and when he opened the door of the house, he felt a cloud of blackness, and suddenly saw two figures on the opposite wall, and couldn't help but be horrified, but they looked like himself, and heard someone behind him say: "I forgot to hold the lamp with you." When he turned around, he saw Ye Qianqian holding two oil lamps, and hurriedly took one of them, so he wanted to thank him, but Ye Qianqian turned around and left.
