138. Siqi returns home
It was only the next day that Xi Siqi slowly woke up.
At this time, I found myself lying in a room in an earthen house, and looked around, and at this time an old man was sitting beside him.
Xi Siqi said to the old man:
"Uncle, but did you save me last night?"
The old man replied:
"It's not me, it's me who saved you from a great benefactor!"
Xi Siqi asked again:
"I don't know your great benefactor's name?"
The old man thought about it and replied:
"I don't seem to have asked his name yet, but I see that he cares about you very much, and he keeps calling you Siqi, isn't it a girl, your name is Siqi?"
Xi Siqi was surprised and replied:
"My name is Siqi, how did that person know my name, and where is he now?"
I tried to hold it up, but I was very weak.
The old man said:
"Girl, you are weak, you should rest, benefactor, he went to the city today to buy clothes and food for you!"
Xi Siqi said with emotion:
"Grandpa is waiting for him to come back, you must thank him for me, he must be a friend I knew before, I really want to see him now!"
Just when the door of the house opened, a man wearing a cloak to cover his face came to the room with a bag of clothes and a bag of food, and when he took off the cloak on his head, Xi Siqi actually cried directly.
Because this is the man she has loved for so long, and it is also for the man who once jumped off the cliff without hesitation, and this man is Du Forget.
I was excited to stand up again, but I still couldn't sit up.
Du Buyi hurriedly stepped forward to help Xi Siqi sit up, and then took out the buns from the bag and handed them to her to eat.
Xi Siqi took the bun and took a bite, Du did not forget it, and then went out and fed Xi Siqi a bowl of water himself, saying:
"Eat slowly, don't choke!"
Xi Siqi nodded, and then ate slowly, Du did not forget to keep feeding Xi Siqi water, afraid that he would choke.
After Xi Siqi was full, Du Buyi helped her lie down and said:
"Let's rest and recover my strength first, I'll always be here with you!"
Xi Siqi looked at Du Zhifu at this time and smiled happily.
Du is inconvenient to say:
"Siqi sleep, let's talk again when we wake up!"
Siqi nodded, then closed her eyes and went to sleep.
Du did not forget to hand the buns to the old man and said:
"Uncle, you can eat some too!"
The old man took a few bites of a bun and said:
"I want to go to the city and buy something back,!"
Du Yi did not forget and asked:
"Uncle, it's okay for you to go shopping in the city!"
The old man replied:
"I'm very strong, I used to go to the city every day!"
Du didn't forget to think about it, and then said:
"Okay, but you must pay attention to safety, uncle!"
The old man took out a few of the silver that Du did not forget to give yesterday, and went to Jingzhou City happily.
Not long after the old man left, someone came to knock on the door, Du Bu didn't forget to hurry out and open the door, and saw that it was Murong Wan'er and Li'er.
immediately welcomed the two into the house, and then asked:
"How did you two know I was here?"
Murong Wan'er replied:
"We heard from an elderly couple in town that there was a man of your size who was here!"
After listening to this, Du did not forget to ask again:
"What do that couple look like?"
The two of them depicted it, and Du didn't forget to remember, isn't this the couple next door who had a bad heart yesterday?
Then he remembered that in the morning, in the city, a portrait of the government had already posted a bounty for him, and he immediately felt that something was wrong, so he said to the two of them:
"We've got to get out of here, it's not safe here!"
Then he came to the room and picked up Xi Siqi directly, and then took the two of them out quickly and went in the direction of the broken temple.
As a result, a few people had just run out of the village, and when they looked back, they turned out that the two couples had really come to the old man's house with the government.
Then it didn't take long for the group to arrive at the ruined temple.
Murong Wan'er said to Du Yiyi:
"Brother Feng, you really expected it!"
Du did not forget to reply:
"In the rivers and lakes, if you don't have a little vigilance, you will probably die!"
Murong Wan'er said:
"Then I have to learn these things from Brother Feng in the future!"
Du did not forget and said:
"It may not be long before we have to separate, Sister Wan'er, you should be in your house in the future, this river and lake is not suitable for you!"
At this moment, Xi Siqi woke up, opened his eyes, and did not forget to see it, so he immediately asked:
"Siqi, have you recovered a bit?"
Xi Siqi sat up with her hands propped up, and replied:
"I've eaten, I've slept again, and I'm feeling a lot better!"
Then let Du not forget to help him stand up.
Du did not forget to see that Xi Siqi was in good health, so he excitedly introduced Murong Wan'er and her maid Li'er to Xi Siqi on the side.
Then Murong Wan'er and Li'er were really embarrassed to look at a pair of lovers next to them, and Wan'er felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, so she said goodbye and left.
Du Bu Bu watched the two leave, thanked them, and then reminisced with Xi Siqi.
recalled the past, and told the story of the two of them.
Du did not forget to apologize to Xi Siqi for Xia Zihan's matter helplessly, but Xi Siqi didn't care about it, so he said:
"As long as Brother Du likes it, if Brother Du can take Sister Zihan, it doesn't matter if I am small!"
Du did not forget to see Xi Siqi so generous, so he said:
"Siqi, I will take good care of you in the future and will not leave you behind!"
Siqi nodded, and then asked:
"Brother Du, where are you going to go?"
Du Bu Bu pulled out a pile of grass in the ruined temple, revealing hundreds of small cloth bags full of silver, and said:
"I plan to give all this silver to the poor people with Miss Shangguan and Li'er, and then leave!"
Xi Siqi was stunned when she saw the silver, and said:
"Then I'll help you too, but I think this is very time-consuming, why don't we send all this silver and money to Wang Daochang, and let him do it, after all, he has many disciples!"
Du did not forget to pat his head and said:
"Why did I forget Wang Daochang, thanks to Siqi for reminding me!"
Then he said:
"Let's go to the Dao Chief, and we can also discuss with the Dao Leader how to deal with the other party's Five Poison Sect!"
In the evening, Murong Wan'er and Li'er changed into black clothes to break the temple, and they told the two of them that they wanted to send the silver to Shaoxing to Wang Yangming, and both of them had heard of Wang Dao's name, and they readily agreed.
Then the next day, Du Buyi found a carriage nearby, loaded all the things into the carriage, and then said goodbye to Murong Wan'er and Li'er.
I set up a carriage to go to the nearest ferry, and after arriving at the ferry, I chartered a passenger boat separately and went to the direction of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
A few days later, when the boat arrived at Wuchang Mansion, Xi Siqi had to accompany her home.
After coming to the gate of Xifu, he knocked on the door for a long time before an old man came to open the door.
Xi Siqi immediately shouted to the old man:
"Uncle Lu, do you still recognize me?"
This Uncle Lu looked at it, Xi Siqi, it took a long time to recognize it, and then said excitedly:
"Miss, it turns out that you are back!"
Then Xi Siqi introduced Uncle Lu to Du Don't forget, and he is a friend.
Uncle Lu hurriedly brought the two of them into the hall and sat down, pouring two cups of hot tea!
Xi Siqi saw that the entire mansion seemed to be empty, and he didn't see anyone, so he asked Uncle Lu:
"Where did my dad go, aren't they at home?"
Uncle Lu replied:
"Lord Xi has now been promoted to Beijing as a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, leaving only my Uncle Lu, an old man, here to take care of your house!"
Then he said:
"Miss, you don't know, after you disappeared, how worried your father was about you, he didn't eat for several days, he couldn't find you when he desperately sent someone to find you, and finally he kept regretting that he shouldn't have forced you to marry Li Gongzi, and finally said that if you are found in the future, you will be in charge of your own marriage!"
Xi Siqi didn't realize it at this time, leaving a few tears, and Du did not forget to wipe them away for him immediately when he saw them.
At this time, Uncle Lu looked at Du Bufu, which seemed to be very familiar, so he asked Du Bufu:
"Miss Fei was taken away by you last time!"
Du did not forget and said:
"Yes, it's all my fault that I have made Siqi suffer a lot in the past few years!"
Uncle Lu asked again:
"I think you're about the same age as our young lady, right?"
Du did not forget to reply:
"I'm already twenty-three now, Siqi should be twenty-two!"
Uncle Lu counted with his fingers and said:
"Yes, the year Miss was born was the day I entered the Xi Mansion!"
Then he said:
"Time flies so fast now, I'm in my sixties, and Miss is twenty-two!"
Xi Siqi tidied up Uncle Lu's clothes and said:
"Yes, I remember when I was a child, Uncle Lu liked me, and everyone else in the house didn't like to play with me, saying that I loved to cry too much, so you took me to the city every day to buy me toys!"
After listening to this, Uncle Lu said:
"Wait, Miss, I'm going to get something you played with when you were a kid!"
Then he went aside.
At this time, Du Bu Bu said to Xi Si:
"Siqi, you were much happier than me when you were a child!"
Siqi asked:
"Why?"
Du did not forget to say:
"When I was a child, no one wanted to play with me, and the children in the neighborhood next door saw that I was too honest, they all bullied me, and they were angry with me when they had nothing to do, and no one looked up to me at all, so I always played with myself!"
Xi Siqi smiled and said:
"It seems that you were so pitiful when you were a child, I don't know if you loved to cry when you were a child?"
Du did not forget to reply:
"It should be okay, but I was beaten and cried a few times by the neighbor's child!"
At this moment, Uncle Lu came over with an old rope and said to Xi Siqi:
"Miss, do you remember this rope?"
Xi Siqi picked up the rope and looked at it, and then said overwhelmedly:
"Of course I remember, I remember that I went out on the street and saw other people's children skipping rope and thought it was fun, but I didn't have it, so I asked my father to cry, but my father ignored it and beat me, and finally Uncle Lu, you quietly went to the street to buy it for me!"
Then he paused and continued:
"My dad saw me jumping rope in the yard to play, and then asked me where this rope came from, I was too ignorant at that time, so I told my dad that you bought it Uncle Lu, but my dad seems to have deducted Uncle Lu's salary for two months!"
Uncle Lu replied:
"Miss, you have a good memory!"
Siqi then said:
"I didn't understand why my father didn't like to buy me toys, but now I know that he is also for my good, and wants me to play less, and devote myself to learning piano, chess, calligraphy, painting and embroidery!"
After listening to this, Du did not forget to say to Xi Siqi:
"Siqi, you can still embroider female red, I haven't seen it!"
Xi Siqi replied, you just don't know, so she pulled Du Buyi to a room, opened a cabinet and took out a few embroidered shirts with various patterns from it, and said:
"Don't forget, you see, I embroidered these clothes myself!"
Du did not forget to look at the various embroideries on this shirt one by one, the patterns are all different, and they are all exquisite.
Then said to Xi Siqi:
"Siqi, should you also make me one of these embroidered clothes?"
Xi Siqi replied:
"Of course you can!"
Then he found a shirt from home that he would never forget, prepared his needle and thread, and began to embroider the shirt for him.
