Chapter 137: See you in the season of falling flowers (3)
I almost shook my head subconsciously: "No, auntie, I have to go back tonight to embroider those embroidered parcels. Thank you Sister Bilian for bringing me the silk thread."
"Thank you. You can go back to get it tomorrow." Aunt Huang said, "I see you like this, so I can't worry about going back."
"I'm fine, aunt." I gave her a relieved smile, thought about putting away the fabric threads, and took a look at the sky: "Auntie, I'm going back today. Come here early tomorrow morning, okay?"
"You have to be careful." Aunt Huang warned worriedly: "If you are afraid, come to me. But don't go out when it gets dark."
I nodded, and then I embarked on the way home.
Although it is almost dusk, there are still hot waves in the air coming with the wind. Fortunately, the mountain is not as good as the city, and the wind can withstand it. I walked back slowly, and when I saw the house from a distance, not only did I lose peace in my heart, but I jumped even harder.
When I got closer, I realized that Chai Fei, which was closed when I went out early in the morning, was ajar at this time. And the lock on the door of the house is also missing.
I suddenly felt the surrounding wind chilled my body. I was so nervous in my heart that the anxiety became clearer. I pressed my heart and looked around, and there was no sign of anyone else. Looking at the opened door, the darkness that leaked from it shocked me, like a dark whirlpool. As long as I walked in, it would swallow me in one bite.
I stabilized my mind and took a deep breath. It would not be too late to turn around and return to Aunt Huang's house at this time. Just when I was thinking about whether to invite Big Brother Huang to come with me at Aunt Huang's house, there was a "crunch" and the door opened.
The orange-gold brilliance of the setting sun fell on him, covering him with a warm coat that could not be seen directly. Because of the backlight, I couldn’t see his face clearly, but the familiar figure fell in my eyes, "Papa", the bamboo basket with the workmanship in my hand fell to the ground, and the corners of my mouth couldn’t help but lifted up until it formed A big smile.
"Xihe!" I yelled and hurried forward, even ignoring what fell on the ground. "Xi He," my voice must be full of joy: "You are back!"
"Ville!" The figure let out an exclamation, and quickly walked towards me. I felt that I was being embraced in a warm embrace, and I looked up at him. Under the light of the setting sun, his smile was so bright and dazzling, but it made me cry. It is tears of joy.
His chest is solid, which gives me peace of mind. I looked up at him, his brows still had unsatisfied servanthood, as well as tiredness after hard work all the way. But the eyes are bright and shining brightly. His face is thinner and darker than when he left, but he has more tenacity.
I snuggled in his arms and listened to his heartbeat "Boom". This voice told me that this was not my illusion. My Xihe is really back!
It was night, I was lying on the bed with Xi He, he held me in his arms and gently combed my hair with his hands. I saw it spread out in front of his chest, where there was a hideous scar.
"This is?" My hand slid across the scar, and he whispered: "It's nothing, it was stabbed by the enemy."
I was shocked and straightened up: "You have gone to the battlefield!"
Xihe nodded, looked at the anger in my eyes, and gently kissed my cheek.
"Don't be afraid, when I met the lieutenant secretly, I was accidentally attacked by the enemy. Fortunately, I was only injured by this." He said casually, not caring at all.
"How could I be attacked?" I was a little worried. Was his identity discovered? No matter which side it is, it is very dangerous for us.
"We are looking for the wrong place." Xi He frowned: "The enemy had already retreated thirty miles the day before. Naturally, I couldn't be discovered when I met with the lieutenant, so I wanted to find a hidden place a little further away from the position. The place. I didn’t want to run into the squad sent by the enemy to inquire about the news, so I started fighting."
I was shocked to hear that, only the two of them were playing against each other's team, which must have been extremely dangerous.
"Fortunately, there are not many people on the other side, and we can retreat all over, but with a little injury." Xihe looked at the scar on his chest and smiled bitterly: "I'm just afraid you don't like it."
I shook my head and smiled at him: "Even if the scar is on the face, I won't dislike it." I leaned my head on his shoulder, "I like you, and you are not from a physical background. "
Xi He did not speak, but lowered his head and kissed my lips.
The room is charming and fascinating.
After Huanai, I put on a coat and looked at him. After thinking about it, I finally said, "Xihe, we might have to leave here."
Xihe glanced at me with a hint of confusion in his eyes, but he still nodded, "Okay."
When my heart warmed, he agreed without asking me the reason at all, which moved me quite a bit.
I twisted my clothes, looked at the candlelight flickering by the bed, and said lightly: "I saw Shen Xiyao."
Xihe clasped my hand tightly, his expression changed drastically, and he looked at me in surprise: "Did he see you?"
I shook my head: "No, but the embroidery screen I embroidered before was brought into the palace by Master Li for Miss Li. I am worried that if something happens, I want to leave."
Xihe sighed, there was still undissipated fear in his eyes. He pulled me to lie down: "We are ready to prepare, and try our best to leave this month."
After that, I packed up. At the beginning, it was a house decorated with the mood of living here all my life. There are a lot of our hard work in it, and even more beloved little things. At the same time, I bought a lot of clothes and utensils. Although I have to leave, most of the things have to be discarded, but there are still a lot of things to organize.
At the same time, the property has to be sold. After all, it was very expensive at the beginning. Although we brought enough money when we went out of the palace, it is difficult to predict whether there will be changes in our lives in the future. It is necessary to prepare more.
I told Aunt Huang that Xihe went back this time to see some relatives and another elder, and we plan to go back to our hometown. Aunt Huang was naturally reluctant to give up, but Falling Leaves returned to the roots is a traditional idea. She felt that it was a good thing for us to find relatives. Although she did not give up, she did not keep her.
"Xie Niang, in your room, I will ask Bilian to go to Anyang to ask if anyone wants to be better." Aunt Huang took my hand.
I nodded. Naturally, it was inconvenient for me to go out at this time. Since Aunt Huang said this, I would not refuse.
"Thank you auntie." I lowered my eyes, and tears flashed in my eyes.
"Thank you. I have a chance in the future, but I have to come back to see my old lady." Huang said, rubbing her eyes.
I got up and knelt down in front of Aunt Huang, "Auntie, if it weren't for you, I should have died on the street. How can I meet Xie Lang again. Please accept me!"
"Get up quickly, this can't be done!" Huang Aunt pulled me quickly.
I insisted on worshipping her three times before I got up.
"Xie Niang, Auntie can't bear you! But it's a good thing for you to go home." Aunt Huang thought for a while: "Before you go, Auntie will cook you another meal."
I nodded and smiled: "No hurry, we will have to leave for a month."
Going back to talk to Xi He, he thought for a while and said: "In any case, we will leave in a month. I have contacted a bureau, hired two carriages, and then walked towards Jiangnan with them."
So, this is our last days in Huangjiacun.
The clear stream still flows happily, and the plants in front of and behind the house are blooming with the most beautiful flowers. In the pond in front of the house, the lotus flowers are blooming beautifully. Whenever I stand on the porch, looking at the beautiful scenery with flowers, it is not regrettable and regretful in my heart.
With Bi Lian's help, there were several masters in the city who sent officials to visit the house, but did not give the final news. It happened that during this period, Brother Huang started a new house, Xihe had already resigned from the school errand, and has been helping Brother Huang build a house these days.
At this time, summer was gradually entering, and I was thinking about re-washing and wrapping the heavy clothes in winter. The stream in the small river in front of the house is too slow to be suitable for washing, but fortunately, there is rapid water flow behind the hillside.
On this day, I was sitting on a big rock by the river, the plain skirt corner was blown into the river by the wind, rippling in the blue water. The clear stream in front of me is noisy and noisy, and the color is quiet. The ripples of water and rhododendrons, and the reflections of Jia Wei. Some of the falling flowers floating on the water gathered around my skirt for a long time, as if adding the most beautiful embroidery to the plain Luo skirt.
Seeing the green water in front of me connect with the pure and flawless sky in the open space far ahead, I couldn't help but blurt out: "My mind is already free, Qingchuandan is like this."
Then, with a smile, he beat the clothes in his hands and even hummed a tune. Three days later, it will be our departure day. As long as I reach the place in my heart in Jiangnan, I believe Shen Xiyao will not be able to find us.
There was a sound of horseshoes coming from behind. I thought that those who would go to such a secluded place, not from the village, must be the lost passers-by. He was still rubbing a cotton robe that Xi He wore in winter. The cotton robe is heavy and it is very laborious to knead it. I rubbed the sweat from my forehead with my sleeves while working harder.
As I was thinking, after a horse neigh, an elegant voice came: "This girl, we took the wrong road ahead. Do you know how to get to the official road to Hanyang?"
I heard that voice, my soul trembled, and I didn’t feel my hand loosening, I saw the dark blue robe drifting far away quickly along the water, like a flowing ominous vortex in the blue water, reflecting again The blue sky in the water only added dim shadows.
I felt that the blood in my whole body had solidified, and people were almost about to become a lifeless wooden stake, stuck there blankly. I didn't dare to look back or speak, or even breathe.
Well, it was clearly Shen Xiyao's voice.
