"Qingxue!"
"Qingxue!"
Chen Ziyuan stood at the door of He Qingxue's house and shouted softly.
At this moment, He Qingxue was helping her mother with housework. When she saw Zi Yuan coming, He Qingxue looked at her mother and said, "Mom, can I go out and play for a while?"
"Go and come back quickly! If it's too late, your father will come back to take care of you!" He Qingxue's mother said.
I saw that He Qingxue's mother's facial features were pretty good, and she would definitely look better if she dressed up.
But for such a family, He Qingxue's mother has no intention of doing this. As long as she can help the family with something and the family can have enough to eat, it is already considered very good.
Although her mother's words were very harsh, He Qingxue was still happy after receiving the answer. After saying "OK", she hurriedly put down her work and walked out quickly.
Walking to the door of the house, he saw Zi Yuan. It was relatively rare for Zi Yuan to find him.
"Why did you come to me?" He Qingxue asked.
Seeing that He Qingxue didn't know yet, and seeing this happy face, Ziyuan hesitated for a while, and then said: "I'm going to Yishi Fucheng."
Yishi Fucheng is the Fucheng that governs Xitong County. Although this Fucheng is not very far from Xitong County, it should be very far for the nine-year-old He Qingxue who has never been to Yishi Fucheng. .
After hearing this, He Qingxue was stunned for a moment. After walking on this road for a long time, He Qingxue asked Zi Yuan at the side: "How long will it take?"
Zi Yuan shook his head: "I don't know, maybe wait until I get to the capital."
"Then...will you come back to Xitong County?" He Qingxue asked.
Zi Yuan shook his head again: "If I have a chance, I will definitely come back to see you."
"Okay, it's a deal, don't lie to me!"
Zi Yuan nodded, looking at the reluctance of nine-year-old He Qingxue, he felt even more reluctant to give up.
"When will you go to Fucheng?" He Qingxue asked.
"Tomorrow morning." Ziyuan replied.
Hearing these words, He Qingxue felt a little happy in her heart. After all, she still had time to spend time with Ziyuan.
"You go to the place we went to before, and I'll go home." He Qingxue suddenly said, and before Zi Yuan could say anything, He Qingxue hurried towards home. went.
Seeing that He Qingxue had run away, Zi Yuan couldn't ask what it was even if he wanted to, so he had to go where He Qingxue said.
Seeing He Qingxue running back in a hurry, her mother asked, "You're back so soon?"
"I'll come back to get my things." He Qingxue said hastily and headed towards her house.
As soon as he entered the bedroom, He Qingxue started rummaging through the bedroom like a robber.
After rummaging for a long time, He Qingxue held what she found tightly in her hands and hurried to the place agreed with Zi Yuan.
However, Chen Ziyuan, who was waiting by the agreed river, became a little anxious.
At first, Zi Yuan was still thinking whether He Qingxue would be unable to get out after returning home. It was not until He Qingxue appeared that Zi Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
"What do you want to do when you go home?" Zi Yuan asked.
Seeing Zi Yuan's anxious look, He Qingxue smiled with a smile on her face. She looked at the comb tightly held in her hand and laughed: "This."
Looking at the comb in He Qingxue's hand, Zi Yuan asked confusedly: "Did you run home just to get this?"
He Qingxue nodded with a smile on her face.
Seeing that He Qingxue didn't say anything, Zi Yuan said, "I ran home just to get a comb. You kept me waiting for a long time."
Seeing Zi Yuan complaining, He Qingxue said, "Okay, this is actually for you."

"For me?" Zi Yuan asked.
He Qingxue nodded.
"My mother helps me cut my hair every day. What do you use if you give it to me? I don't even need it." Zi Yuan said truthfully.
Seeing that Zi Yuan might not understand what he meant, He Qingxue said, "You're leaving tomorrow. What if I don't give you something? What if you forget about me in the future?"
Listening to what he said, it seemed to make sense. Zi Yuan said with a smile on his face: "It's okay, I won't forget you."
Seeing that Zi Yuan had not reached out to take the comb, He Qingxue stretched out her hands, grabbed one of Zi Yuan's hands, handed the comb to Zi Yuan's hand, and said: "Just accept it. Regardless of whether you forget it or not, as long as you hold one, even if we don't know each other in the future, we will rely on this to get to know each other."
After hearing this, looking at He Qingxue's happy face and looking at the comb he had taken in his hand, Zi Yuan had no choice but to accept it.
"Okay, I promise you." Zi Yuan said.
This half-day is the half-day that Ziyuan is most reluctant to part with. He has lived in this kind of house for many years and yearns for life in the capital every day. Now that he is getting closer and closer to the capital, he is even more reluctant to leave here.
She agreed to come back early. As soon as He Qingxue returned, she was scolded by her parents. Forget about the scolding, she was also beaten by her father, who had a bad temper. If her mother hadn't been kind-hearted, the child would probably have been beaten. Lame.
Every time, He Qingxue's father would be gentler for the sake of her mother, otherwise he would not know what kind of beating he would get.
The next day, early in the morning, after packing everything, Li Xiran and the others got into the carriage and headed for Yishifu City.
Last night was the worst night Zi Yuan had ever slept. Although he had only lived in Xitong County for a few years, he was extremely happy every day living in Xitong County.
Seeing that Zi Yuan had not yet boarded the carriage, He Hansheng in the carriage said, "Where is Zi Yuan?"
After hearing this, Li Xiran looked left and right, but indeed he did not see Zi Yuan's figure.
She hurriedly walked out of the carriage, looked at the brothers who came to pick her up, and said, "Wait a moment, Zi Yuan is gone."
After hearing this, several brothers reacted. After looking around and seeing no sign of Zi Yuan, one brother saw Li Xiran's anxious look and said kindly: "Sister-in-law, don't be anxious, look for her carefully. No hurry, no hurry." "
Xi Ran nodded and ran towards Jiang's house. When he entered Jiang's house, Xi Ran shouted loudly.
"Ziyuan!"
"Ziyuan!"
"Where are you?!"
"Ziyuan!"
Several brothers outside Jiang's house and He Hansheng in the carriage became a little anxious after hearing that Ziyuan had not been found for a long time.
It was not a hurry anyway, so a few people simply helped Xi Ran search together, even He Hansheng in the carriage was no exception.
Since being rescued last time, He Hansheng has cherished the opportunity to live, so he has begun to do more good things in Xitong County.
For example, helping the uncle push the bullock cart, helping the aunt carry the basket, and this time, helping Xi Ran find the child, which is not a small amount of good things.
It was also because of the collapse of the He family that He Hansheng had time to do so many meaningful things.
"Ziyuan!"
"Ziyuan!"
He Hansheng started shouting on the street. While shouting, he looked around and asked some uncles and aunties from time to time.
"Sister-in-law, have you found Ziyuan?" One of the brothers who were searching together in Jiang's house asked the panicked Xi Ran.
Xi Ran shook his head: "I didn't find it." Then he said to himself anxiously: "Where is it going? Why don't you follow me and tell me."
Seeing Xi Ran's anxious look, a brother comforted him: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, when will we go to Yishi Mansion?"
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
You can go as long as you want, there's no rush, ah. Find it first and then talk about it. "
Listening to this brother's comfort, Xi Ran nodded, but she was still extremely anxious in her heart.
Little did they know that at this time, Zi Yuan had already run to He Qingxue's home, but did not see He Qingxue's figure.
Zi Yuan was so anxious that he quickly walked up and asked He Qingxue's mother. Perhaps because of nervousness, Zi Yuan asked without addressing him: "Isn't Qingxue here?"
After hearing the sound, He Qingxue's mother raised her head and looked at the boy in front of her. Only then did she remember that he was the child who usually played with He Qingxue.
As soon as she knew it was him and thinking about what happened last night, He Qingxue's mother suddenly became angry: "You kid! Why are you so uneducated? Yesterday, you took my Qingxue to play somewhere. Let Qingxue Xue came back so late? Your parents don't care about you? You're uneducated." After saying this, He Qingxue's mother took the thread in her hand and mended her clothes.
Judging from the color and fabric of the clothes, they should belong to Qingxue's father.
Listening to what her mother said, Ziyuan just remembered that she hadn't said hello just now. When she was about to say hello, her mother said something angry.
"You still haven't left! Are you still thinking of finding my Qingxue? If you are so uneducated, I will take care of you for your parents!" After saying this, Qingxue's mother hit Ziyuan with a broom.
But for some reason, Ziyuan didn't even try to hide. He looked at Qingxue's mother eagerly and said nothing, as if he wanted to wait for her to vent all her anger before speaking.
In this way, Ziyuan was beaten several times in vain by Qingxue's mother.
After seeing that I had beaten enough, I looked at the child in front of me, Qingxue's mother, who she thought was stupid, and said, "What's the matter? You think I haven't beaten enough! Come again! Come again and teach my Qingxue bad things." See if I can’t beat you to death!”
Seeing that Qingxue's mother no longer hit him, Ziyuan took out the sachet that he carefully selected early in the morning, looked at Qingxue's mother, and said: "This is the sachet, please hand it over to me." Give it to Qingxue. I will leave in a moment, and I may not come back to Xitong County in the future."
After hearing this, I thought that he was going to leave anyway, so I should be nice to him.
Qingxue's mother smiled slightly, took the sachet handed over by the man, and said, "Okay, I will give it to her."
Seeing that he accepted it, Zi Yuan finally breathed out: "Okay, I won't disturb you anymore." After saying that, Zi Yuan walked away.
Watching the man leave, Qingxue's mother held the sachet in her hand and observed it. Perhaps she had never seen such a fragrant sachet, or perhaps she had never seen such a beautiful sachet, which made Qingxue Suddenly, my mother was reluctant to leave it to Qingxue.
Little did they know, Qingxue was locked in the bedroom. It was probably because her father was too angry because she came back late last night, so he locked Qingxue in the room.
Knowing that the man was leaving Xitong, Qingxue's mother opened the door to Qingxue's room.
Seeing the door open, He Qingxue looked at her mother with an apologetic look and said, "I was wrong."
"This is what he gave you. It's so smelly that I wouldn't be surprised if you gave it to me." After saying this, Qingxue's mother handed Qingxue the sachet given to her by Ziyuan.
After taking the sachet, Qingxue had a look of joy on her face. She looked at the sachet and was speechless for a while.
Seeing Qingxue so happy and thinking about what happened yesterday, Qingxue's mother said, "Okay. He has left. You can save your father some trouble in the future."
Ziyuan on the side had already got on the carriage heading to Yishifu City.
"Zi Yuan, next time you go somewhere, be sure to tell your mother. Don't be afraid that she won't agree. Look at how worried we are about you by doing this." Xi Ran said.
"I know, mother." After responding, Zi Yuan opened the curtain of the carriage and looked at the pedestrians coming and going outside. Thinking of He Qingxue, Zi Yuan suddenly felt a little regretful for some reason. Come, I regret not being able to see He Qingxue again.
Fortunately, Qingxue's mother was gentle, so no scars were left on Zi Yuan's body.
