"But aren't you having a good time here? You haven't fully learned the abacus formula yet. It won't be a problem if you leave in a few days..."
Xiao Han held it in until the end, but still did not directly say the words stuck in his throat. Instead, he gave such a lame reason, which made the few people eavesdropping in the corner feel so angry that they wanted to jump out and take his place!
When Xue Pan heard what Xiao Han said, his eyes seemed to be covered with mist. He quickly turned his head and raised his head, trying not to let tears fall.
It is true that these days here are indeed her happiest days. There are surprising meals every day and kind people everywhere!
When I had nothing to do, I went to catch crabs and fish with Xiao Han, and then went to the school to listen to a few classes. Time had passed before I knew it.
Sometimes she wonders if this is the real way to live. The image of a husband she once insisted on in her heart begins to waver. People do not necessarily have to live an earth-shattering life. Like the fireworks that Xiao Han secretly made, they only have a momentary life. Youth.
Perhaps it is like the gurgling water that never stops every day of the year. This is the real life.
"I'm really happy here, but now I have to go back. Originally, only my family knew that it didn't matter that I was here, but now even that person knows, and it's probably spread all over Chang'an. If I don't go back, right? You won't be too good for my reputation. Thank you for your hospitality these days. It's really nice for Xue Pan to have friends like you..."
After speaking behind his back, Xue Pan walked to the carriage without daring to look back, and went straight into the carriage. Then the curtain of the carriage was pulled tightly, and there was no sound from inside.
The two guards sat in front of the carriage, raised their fists at Xiao Han, flicked their whips, and the carriage started slowly.
Xiao Han stood on the road, stretched out his hand several times, and dropped it several times. He watched the carriage pass by, as if something was being dug out of his heart, and he felt so empty.
Xiao Qi ran out from nowhere at this time, sniffing the smell, and looked at the carriage that was gradually going away with doubtful eyes. He could smell it, and the person who often played with him was on the carriage. At first, I thought it was another game, but the carriage disappeared behind the screen wall and the man never came back. Xiao Qi howled in dissatisfaction, and his voice spread far away, as if urging Xue Pan to come back quickly. generally……
"Master Hou...Master Hou, the car has left, and this person fell out of the car..."
Behind him, Xiaodong held up a piece of cloth with both hands and looked at the lonely Xiao Han carefully. In his impression, Xiao Han had never been so lonely, standing alone with a dog on the roadside, as if he had been abandoned by the whole world. It's all heartbreaking.
"knew……"
Mechanically taking the cloth, Xiao Han looked down, then put the cloth into his arms. He took one last look at the invisible carriage, and then said to Xiaodong: "There are only four of them, along the way. It may not be safe, so you can find a few more brothers to escort us for a while, and then come back when we get to Chang'an."
"Here!" Xiaodong quickly accepted the order, called the fool and left in a hurry. At this time, a kid at the corner suddenly broke away from Zhang Qiang's big hand, rushed over in a few steps, pointed at Xiao Han and shouted angrily:
"Are you stupid?! Why didn't you keep Sister Xue Pan just now!"
Xiao Han surprisingly did not refute Li Shentong. Instead, he seemed to comfort himself and said slowly: "She just went home to see and tell her mother not to marry that stupid pig. It's not a big deal. She may come back tomorrow. After all, my studies are not finished yet..."
The little Li Shentong was almost angry to death by these words. He jumped up and scolded: "You...you make me so angry! Normally I think you are quite seductive. You are more seductive than a monkey when you have hair attached to it. Now look at you, you are not sticky." Mao, you’re stupider than a pig! Even I know that it’s useless for Sister Xue to go back this time. She has no right to make her own decisions under her parents’ orders. You, you, you… make me so angry!”
Zhang Qiang also followed at this time and stood beside Li Shentong without saying anything, but what Li Shentong said was exactly what he wanted to say. As a brother, there were some things he couldn't say, especially about feelings, but Li Shentong was different. As a bystander, there was no harm in letting him scold Xiao Han for his incomprehension.
"No, what mother doesn't want her daughter to live well?" Xiao Han shook his head and murmured.
The young Li Shentong really seemed like an adult at this time. He covered his head and looked at Xiao Han. After a while, he said: "I, I am really convinced by you. I have never seen you like this. Can you learn from me?" Brother, he fell in love with my sister-in-law, and without saying a word, he took her and eloped! What a sense of friendship! Look at you..."
Xiao Han sighed, stepped on the stone steps with a lonely expression, and walked straight to his home. He really had the urge to elope with Xue Pan just now, but without feelings, he didn't know that he had such inexplicable feelings for Xue Pan. I don't know if her feelings are love, and I don't know if she feels the same way about me. She is afraid that this is just her wishful thinking, and she doesn't even have the courage to speak out!
The night was getting darker, and Xiaodong and the others came back.
When Xiaodong came back, Xiao Han was lying on the bed in a daze, with various thoughts flashing through his mind. Finally, he took out the strip of cloth and looked at it again, then stared blankly at the roof and murmured: "It doesn't matter. It’s no big deal. If it doesn’t work out, just kill this fat guy. There are so many ways to kill people, but there is always one that no one can detect..."
At the same time, at Zhang Qiang's house, Zhang Qiang was also in a daze. The second wife had gone back to her room to rest because her belly was getting bigger, leaving only Xiao Min in the room with Zhang Qiang who was in a daze.
The candle on the table flickered a few sparks, and the flame was a little dim. Xiao Min took out the hairpin on her head, gently lit the wick, and continued to lie on the Eight Immortals table with Zhang Qiang.
After a long time, Zhang Qiang's eyes suddenly moved, and his dull face began to look bright, as if his soul had returned to its original position one by one. His hands and feet began to move. His habit of being in a daze was purely learned from Xiao Han. , even the actions are exactly the same!
Xiao Min sat up straight when Zhang Qiang woke up, handed the glass of water in front of her hand to Zhang Qiang who was flexing his hands and feet, and asked curiously: "Husband, are you awake? What were you thinking about just now? Yes, you Let’s see if Xiao Han and Xue Pan can make it happen?”
Zhang Qiang pushed away the water glass that was handed to him, rubbed his nose irritably, and said to Xiao Min, "I'm not thirsty."
"If you're not thirsty, don't drink. You were in a daze just now. What were you thinking about? Tell me..."
"I didn't think about anything..."
"What are you thinking about if you don't think about anything? Do you want to marry a little wife again?!"
"Ahem, how is that possible? Ahem... I'm thinking about Xiao Han and Xue Pan..."
"Really?" Xiao Min looked suspicious, "Then what did you come up with?!"
"Well... I'm thinking that Xiao Han has some interest in Xue Pan, but it's hard to say that Xue Pan still insists on going home today. I don't know if Xiao Han is wishful thinking."
"No, Xue Pan is definitely interested in Xiao Han. Even if he is not interested now, he will be after he returns!"
Zhang Qiang was startled and looked at Xiao Min strangely, but Xiao Min smiled playfully and said to him: "Idiot, I am also a woman. Only women understand women!"
"Oh? Then tell my husband how you know her."
"Then I said, don't be jealous!"
"Jealous? How is that possible? Is there anyone in this world who would make my husband jealous?!"
Xiao Min rolled her eyes at Zhang Qiang, who was so boastful, and then said thoughtfully: "Husband, have you noticed that being with Xiao Han really makes people feel like a spring breeze, and I am attracted to his undisciplined temperament without knowing it!
Look at this Zhuangzi, he is always the center. Although no one notices it, I dare say that after living here for a period of time, you will definitely feel out of place when you go to other places. I don’t know this. What should this atmosphere be called? But it's obvious that Xue Pan has fallen into it. Even if she doesn't realize it now, she will feel it when she gets home! "
Zhang Qiang laughed when he heard this, stretched out his hand to rub Xiao Min's hair and said: "You, you are so arrogant, living comfortably and loving me are two different things, just like I am living comfortably here with Xiao Han, but of course I like you! And you are the one I like!" , I will not be jealous of Xiao Han, he is just a lazy slut, how can he make me, who is so handsome and powerful, jealous..."
"Ugh... You are handsome and mighty. Why didn't I notice it? But you said you were a lazy person. This description is very appropriate! I don't know why Xue Pan's mother wanted to marry him to that stupid pig. Wouldn't it be better to marry Xiao Han? good?"
Zhang Qiang has long been used to Xiao Min tearing things down, so he just pretended not to hear it, and then said to Xiao Min: "I don't know, but Xue Pan's father died young, and Xue Shou was responsible for the whole family. You and I both know that." Xue Shou's importance to the King of Qin, but how could his mother, a woman who never left the house or step out, know? Seeing that Xue Shou's official position was not prominent now, he was probably anxious. At this time, a marquis wanted to marry her. Qin Jin is so good, she naturally wants it..."
"But even if this is the case, we can't push Xue Pan into the fire pit. No, I will go to Chang'an to see her tomorrow!"
"Come on, just stay at home. Believe it or not, even if Xue Pan can't talk to his mother, she will never marry that idiot!"
"How do you know?" Xiao Minqi asked.
"Why can't I know..." Zhang Qiang seemed to enjoy Xiao Min's surprised eyes, shaking his head and continued: "Don't you see that Xiao Han is so stupid now and doesn't know how he feels about Xue Pan? Wait a minute He smoothed it over and knew what he wanted, so that idiot also wants to get his hands on Xue Pan? Do you believe it or not, if that idiot dares to make any move again, he will be close to death! "
When Xiao Min heard this, her eyes widened and she lowered her voice and said, "Husband, you said he wanted to kill that fat man? But killing someone requires his life!"
