As he said that, he walked to the second to last door, looked at the closed courtyard door in front of him, and said a little strangely: "Why are the courtyard doors closed in broad daylight? I don't know what they are doing."
This place is similar to the rural areas of later generations. If there is someone at home, the courtyard door will basically not be closed unless there is something inconvenient for people to see, or if you go out temporarily and come back soon to express that it is inconvenient for people to come in. .
Zhang Qiaoling first listened to the noise inside and knew there was someone inside, so she shouted twice, "Aunt Chen! Sister Xue! Is anyone at home?"
At this time, a little girl's voice timidly said: "Is...is it Aunt Zhang?"
Zhang Qiaoling immediately replied: "It's me, Huan'er, open the door quickly. Aunt Zhang has something to do with your mother. Why is the door closed? Your mother and your grandma are out?"
The courtyard door opened with a creak, and standing inside was a thin little girl in shabby but clean clothes. There were only tears on her face, obviously she had just cried.
He looks about five or six years old, but his expression doesn't look like the ignorance of a five- or six-year-old child. He thinks he is actually older than he looks.
When the little girl saw Zhang Qiaoling, she first wanted to step forward with tears in her eyes, and then she saw Qingyan behind her. She immediately stopped and took two steps back in fear.
Zhang Qiaoling stepped forward and took the little girl's hand: "What's wrong with you? Why are you crying? But you're hurt?"
The girl glanced at Qingyan timidly and shook her head at Zhang Qiaoling.
Zhang Qiaoling followed her gaze and then remembered to introduce them: "This is...this is your aunt. Let's go in to find your mother and tell her that someone from your maternal family is here..."
Qingyan was embarrassed. She was talking about assumptions before. Good guy, why did she confirm it so quickly when she came here?
Although she was planning to pretend to be someone's relative, she had to be more rigorous and see someone to confirm.
When the little girl heard this, her eyes lit up, then darkened again, and she said with a crying voice: "Aunt Zhang, my mother... my mother's legs were broken, and grandma and father's legs were also broken. Already..."
Zhang Qiaoling was startled and quickly walked in and asked, "What's going on? Why are all three people's legs broken?"
Xue Minghua might have been beaten by that bastard Chen Jiawang. She didn't believe that Xue Minghua, a woman, had the ability to resist. Even if she could, she couldn't hurt two people. What's more, Chen Jiawang was tall and thick. How could a weak woman beat him?
Following the little girl, they walked directly into the house, and Qingyan followed them in.
Although Chou Chou had told her about the situation here, there was still a difference between hearing it and seeing it with her own eyes.
The house faces south, and the lighting is better than Zhang Qiaoling's house. It is still different from the dazzling sun outside, so you have to get used to it once you enter the house.
Although the room was quite messy, with two adults lying on the floor and a bench that was crushed by Chen Jiawang one day, it could be seen that it should have been tidied up.
But I don't know if it's Chen Jiawang or the old woman's smell, but there is a suffocating smell of urine in the room.
Qingyan looked around and quickly found the source, which was Chen Jiawang. She saw that his pants were wet. She must have been frightened by the stick that disappeared out of thin air and the broken leg.
Chen Jiawang's mother fell not far from him, lying face down. A boy of seven or eight years old was trying to help a woman up on the kang.
The woman has woken up, her face is pale, and the layer of sweat on her forehead must be painful.
Zhang Qiaoling went up to help, but Qingyan quickly stopped her, "No, Sister Zhang, don't touch her yet. Her leg is broken. If it's not done right, it may dislocate again, aggravating the injury."
Zhang Qiaoling was so frightened by these words that she quickly stopped and stood there with her hands tied, somewhat helpless, not knowing what to do.
Qingyan stepped forward, and the boy crawled over to block her, looking at her defensively.
Only then did Xue Minghua, who was shaking in pain on the bed, see a stranger. When he saw the stranger's face clearly, he had a look of surprise on his face.
Because the light in the room is still relatively dark, you have to get closer to see clearly.
Qingyan was also stunned when she saw Xue Minghua's appearance.
How should I put it? Are they really from the same family? The same genes as the old Xue family?
Although his father was adopted, he looks very similar to his grandfather. If everyone in the family didn't know about it, it would be hard to tell that they were not biological father and son.
And this Xue Minghua looks a bit like them.
Although Qingyan looks a bit like her father, she combines the looks of her parents, so it is a bit far-fetched to say that she is similar to her.
Xue Minghua has double eyelids, big eyes, a high nose bridge, and thin lips, which is a bit neutral, so she looks like her grandfather and father.
Although Qingyan also has double eyelids and big eyes, they are not the round almond-shaped eyes, but rather narrow and long. When she squints, they look a bit like her grandma's phoenix eyes.
When he opens his eyes wide, he looks like those celebrities in later generations who have opened their eyes. They look particularly wide, with the corners of their eyes slightly raised, and they look very charming when they smile.
Although the nose is tall and straight, the tip of the nose is very small. It is not like her father's three-dimensional nose, which is like a knife. Instead, it is like her mother's small nose, but the bridge of the nose is higher.
The lips are slightly thicker than cherry lips, with a pouty feeling, and the whole person looks more lively and cute.
Xue Minghua, on the other hand, has a pair of almond eyes, a high and straight nose bridge, which is a little wider, and his lips are a little thin. He looks more like Qingyan's father, so Qingyan is so surprised.
Xue Minghua looked at Qingyan and was surprised. It wasn't that she really had such a good-looking person in her family, but because Qingyan's appearance was so delicate and good-looking. Coupled with her fair skin and temperament, she was really incompatible with this place. You can tell by looking at her that she is a lady.
At this time, Qingyan's hand had already touched Xue Minghua's calf, and she said to her: "Your leg bones are not broken, it's just that the joints are misplaced. Of course, there must be some bone cracks. Now I will help you reattach the legs first." Get up and rest for a while, he should be able to recover without leaving any sequelae."
Muscle was startled after hearing this. Although he didn't know who the other party was yet, Xue Minghua looked at her gratefully.
Her son also put away his guard, retreated behind his mother, and looked at Qingyan expectantly.
Zhang Qiaoling also breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to Xue Minghua: "Sister Xue, this girl is also named Xue. She comes from the capital. She said she recognized your embroidery at the embroidery shop, so she came here."
Xue Minghua looked at Qingyan with a puzzled look, but did not speak in a hurry.
Qingyan felt a little embarrassed when they saw her, so she cleared her throat and said, "What about that? My name is Xue Qingyan, and I am from the Xue family in the capital."
