Chapter Twenty-Three: Treading the Bridge on a Moonlit Night
After a busy day, these innocent villagers finally went back, Zuo Ming exhaled softly, and couldn't help admiring Qin Yu in his heart, he was just a housekeeper and felt powerless, such a big family business, but Qin Yu took care of it in an orderly manner, getting better and better, it is really not something that ordinary people can do.
Since Qin Guangsi took over as the head of the family, there have been many people who covet the glorious family business of the Qin family's sword village, and they have used all kinds of despicable means to get their hands on it, and now that the new head of the family, Qin Yu, no one dares to take action at all, which is enough to show that Qin Yu's means are extraordinary. I don't know how the master chased this person, anyway, Xiaotian was clicked on the acupoint, and it will be automatically unlocked after two hours, so it's better to help the master. Zuo Ming thought in his heart, jumped and landed on the roof, and the people cleaning below looked up and exclaimed, it turned out that Steward Zuo was so good at light skills, and he was very good at taking care of it, no wonder he could be reused by Qin Yu.
He disappeared on the roof step by step, leaving behind a group of subordinates who cleaned up today's chaotic venue, and the inner courtyard was probably the most lively today.
When Zuo Ming came back, it was already dusk, he followed Qin Yu's breath to catch up, originally wanted to help him, but he never found his trace, and had to go back in a huff, I don't know what happened to the young master, it has been two hours, the acupoint has already been unlocked, but I haven't seen Xiao Tian come out, presumably he is sulking in the house. He looked to the west, the sky was red, reflecting on everyone's faces, the inner courtyard had been cleaned, all kinds of potted plants, utensils were neatly placed, and they had returned to their usual appearance.
It seems that the master can't come back today, he walked straight to Xiaotian's room, it was getting late, Xiaotian's room didn't even turn on, it seems that he hasn't gotten up yet. He secretly shook his head helplessly, this little god, there is really nothing to do with him, but this child has a kind temperament, and he likes Zuo Ming, but it only occasionally makes him nerve-wracking.
Walking to the door, Zuo Ming knocked lightly on the door, "Xiaotian, open the door, it's me." No one answered.
As if he had expected this result a long time ago, he no longer waited for the reply inside, and directly pushed the door in. The room was dark, he lit the candle, the room suddenly lit up, Zuo Ming opened the bed curtain, saw Xiaotian lying on the bed and retracted his head into the quilt, and couldn't help patting the quilt: "Xiaotian, are you hungry, get up quickly, don't be angry with Uncle Zuo." He stretched out his hand to pat it, suddenly stunned, secretly screamed that it was broken, and quickly pulled the quilt, how could there be anyone, only two pillows were placed vertically in it, he reached out and touched it, the quilt was still cold!
Where did this little day go, what should I do if something happened at night. Zuo Ming slapped the table: "Someone!" Everyone heard the voice coming from the young master's room, and immediately ran over, but saw that it was the housekeeper who touched his beard with one hand and pressed the other hand on the table, angry and murderous, and they all stood aside in fear, not daring to speak.
Xiao Chuan, who was specially responsible for waiting for Xiao Tian, hurriedly ran to Qin Xiaotian's bed, also touched the quilt with his hand, and looked at the housekeeper with a panicked expression: "Young Master is obviously still sleeping just now, why will he ...... it for a while" Xiao Chuan muttered in a low voice, wondering why he couldn't take care of Young Master Xiao Tian every time, he was very scared, if something happened again a few days after Qin Xiaotian came back, how should he explain to the Qin family.
Zuo Ming looked at Xiao Chuan, and slapped the table again: "What are you doing in a daze, don't hurry up and find it for me, don't come back if you can't find it." Everyone dispersed in a hurry, and quickly ran in all directions, Xiaochuan was still blaming himself, he was five or six years older than Qin Xiaotian, but he was very honest, every time he was fooled by Qin Xiaotian's tricks, and he tried repeatedly, he clenched his fists and lowered his head deeply, but found Zuo Ming looking at himself from the afterglow, and couldn't help but raise his head, and said uneasily: "I'm sorry, Steward Zuo, I ......"
Zuo Ming watched Qin Xiaotian grow up, he had a lot of ghost ideas, and sometimes he was deceived by him, so how could he blame Xiaochuan. Although he is usually a little stupid, he is the most caring person to Xiaotian, Xiaochuan was an orphan, and the housekeeper took pity on him for being lonely and hired him to be a person. Xiao Chuan is kind-hearted, knows how to repay his kindness, and has always played the best with Xiao Tian, so he is responsible for taking care of Xiao Tian. He is also responsive to other people's needs, never asks for anything from others, and would rather suffer his own losses than offend others.
And he is very obedient, never disobedient, let alone do some petty theft, it is said that with Qin Xiaotian's innocence, it is easy for Xiaochuan to get some oil and water in Qin's house, but he has never done it, there is no other source of income except for the allowance, and he is loyal to the Qin family, but Xiaotian never treats him as a person, often shares delicious food with him, and secretly takes him out to play.
Every time Xiaotian is scolded, he is not afraid of being affected and repeatedly pleads for him, and the two have a deep friendship.
The reason why Xiao Tian is kind and peaceful to others is also partly due to Xiao Tian's influence.
Zuo Ming patted him lightly on the shoulder: "Go and find it." ”
"Hmm" Now that the matter has come to this, Xiaochuan can't care about being sad, so he quickly turned around and ran out.
"Wait. He had not yet gone five steps out of the room when he heard the butler's shout. Zuo Ming seemed to remember something and stopped him again.
"What do you command, butler?" Xiao Chuan quickly stopped.
"Go to Miss Xiaowei's for a run, the young master is very likely to be there. ”
Xiao Chuan hummed and ran away, leaving Zuo Ming standing in front of the bed.
I just hope that Xiaotian is there, and nothing will happen. Zuo Ming was full of worry, his face was haggard, and he was obviously tired today.
As night fell, the clouds floated faintly under the cold moon, and there were a few faint stars in the sky.
Under this cold and cold light, on a winding country road, a dejected young master lowered his head, and his stomach still made a rumbling sound from time to time.
This young man who looked very depressed and frustrated was Qin Xiaotian, and his house was in a mess, and he didn't know it at all, so he secretly ran out with an angry face. Lazy and lazy slowly walked forward, holding a yellow paper talisman in his hand, shaking his head, after a while, he spread it out and looked at it, suddenly his eyes lit up, he wanted to do something, and seemed to remember something, shook his head, and muttered something in his mouth.
Qin Xiaotian's heart was full of worries, and he didn't look up at the road, he walked forward aimlessly, the night breeze was blowing, faintly wafting a trace of fragrance, a winding and deep path ahead, I don't know where it leads, green grass and shrubs, all kinds of flowers are blooming everywhere, a cold wind is blowing, Xiaotian can't help but sneeze, it was only past noon when he secretly ran out, the wind was beautiful, the weather was very warm, who knew that it was so cold at night, he couldn't help hugging himself, and walked forward, there was a faint sound of rushing water in front of him.
He looked up, where is this? I should be lost, forget it, if I get lost, I don't plan to go back anyway, Xiaotian said to himself. Continue to walk forward, until you come to a small bridge, see the small river flowing forward in such a quiet night, it seems particularly clear to the ears, like cheerful music, Xiaotian exhaled softly, smelled the fragrance of flowers on both sides of the river, breathed the freshest, sweet and free air in the world, and felt much better.
He stood on the bridge, looking up at the sky, a full moon in a layer of light clouds and mist under the cover of a hazy moonlight, cold and beautiful, he ran down the bridge, took off his shoes and socks, intended to wash his feet, his hand just touched the water, he pulled back, shivered, so cold, such energetic water is biting cold, fortunately did not put his feet in, he shook the water on his arm, ready to put on his shoes, just bent over, trance saw a faint golden light looming in the grass, huh? What is that?
He hurriedly put on his shoes, ran over, and stretched out his hand there, but the light immediately turned red, and the unknown object jumped up at once, and landed in the grass not far away, lying there quietly, as if he had never moved, Xiaotian grabbed a void, wow, it's a baby!
Can't let him run, Xiaotian was happy, and grabbed forward again, the baby reacted very quickly, and dodged again, Xiaotian was even more curious, and began to chase under the hazy moonlight, chasing farther and farther, and immediately crawled the whole grass, covered with dew and grass clippings, soaking wet, and his clothes were dirty, he pounced on it again, and the baby jumped forward, bang, and fell into the river, there was no sound, but there were slight ripples in the river, and the ripples rippled in circles and circles, showing its existence.
No, it's been for me to toss around for so long. Xiaotian was already tired, lying on the water's edge and panting, I was never so tired of catching crickets last year, what is this. Xiao Tian thought in his heart, and couldn't help but be annoyed.
Suddenly, there was a plop, as if someone had jumped into the river, Xiaotian was startled, and quickly got up, it won't be someone who wants to die, haha, fortunately, I am familiar with water, my opportunity to perform has come, tomorrow my father will be proud of me, Xiaotian thought to himself, regardless of the biting cold on the water surface, ready to take off his clothes and jump down, suddenly a head poked out of the water, shook his hair, and spit out a mouthful of clear spring from his mouth.
Oh, it turned out that I came to play, Xiaotian understood, he didn't bother to care about this, and was about to leave, only to hear a voice as crisp as a bell: "Haha, I found it!"
Is it a girl? Xiaotian wondered, whose child did he sneak out to play like himself.
Xiao Tian watched the girl swim to his side, and couldn't help but be taken aback, what was she going to do? I saw her jump out, bringing up a very high wave of water, and the water on her body splashed everywhere, Xiao Tian quickly rubbed his eyes, and the water also splashed all over him, all over his face, and hit him in the eyes.
The water beneath the girl gurgled and the water next to her flowed through to fill her position. She landed heavily on the bridge deck, the soles of her feet were covered with water, one was unstable and slipped to the ground, and a thing with a red glow slipped from her hand, Xiaotian fixed her eyes and looked, isn't this the baby just now?
The hand is fast and the eye is fast, Qin Xiaotian suddenly fell to the ground and pressed it in his hand, this time the baby didn't have time to escape, and finally let him catch it. It turned out to be a round bead, I thought it was a good baby! He was a little disappointed, and there were many such beads at home, and he seemed a little disappointed.
But after catching himself for so long, he couldn't help it, he held it in the palm of his hand and looked at the girl who slipped and fell to the ground: "Hey, are you okay?" Xiao Tian was not polite to her, he ran out at night, jumped into the water, and splashed himself, he didn't have a good impression of this beautiful girl with a crisp voice and a fairly long look, Xiao Tian grabbed her arm and helped her up, it was quite heavy, he thought to himself.
The girl was not polite, she pushed away Xiaotian's hand, shook her hair hard, and splashed Xiaotian with water, Xiaotian sighed, washed her face with the water on her face, looked at the girl in front of her who was already soaking wet, and looked at herself who was covered in mud and water, and couldn't help complaining in her heart, I really wanted to throw her into the river again.
