Huang Xiao rubbed his forehead with a headache. He woke up from a hangover and felt very irritable. When he opened his eyes, he remembered that he was alone from now on and couldn't help but feel lonely for a while.
Four days ago, he received a call from the village that his father fainted at the construction site and died of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage. He rushed back to his hometown from the field.
This was my father's chronic illness, and the construction company couldn't be blamed. The construction site still paid 200,000 yuan in compensation, and the matter was over.
Huang Xiao endured the grief and finished his father's posthumous affairs. After his relatives and friends left yesterday, the house was empty. The noise of the past few days was like a pause button being suddenly pressed!
Sitting on the bedside, he picked up the banquet and drank the remaining half of the bottle of wine. He poured it out and drank it himself. The wine was so sad that he unknowingly drank up two and a half bottles.
Huang Xiao wrapped himself in the quilt and covered his head. He really couldn't bring himself to get up, and he didn't want to get up. But the noise outside seemed to be noisier. He couldn't help but sit up, and the doubts in his heart grew bigger and bigger. got up.
There are only about twenty households in Huangjia Village, and his yard is on the east side of the village. There is a large pond in front of his house. The neighbors are hundreds of meters away from his house. Plus it is mid-May. It's late afternoon, and the village is full of old people and has always been very quiet.
Could it be that something happened in the village?
Huang Xiao put on her shoes, put on a random set of clothes, left the room, and opened the courtyard door.
ah! this……
Huang Xiao was dumbfounded.
Outside the courtyard gate, there was originally a cement road surrounding the pond, but now, it is actually a bluestone street, much wider than the original rural cement road!
The large pond covering an area of five to six acres also mysteriously disappeared. Not far across the street was a magnificent temple!
What shocked Huang Xiao even more was that the bustling crowds on this bustling street were all dressed in ancient costumes. Everything he looked at had no modern flavor at all!
Could it be that he is still drunk?
Huang Xiao subconsciously closed the door with his backhand.
There was silence all around, and the noise seemed to be closed by this door.
Huang Xiao shook his head, calmed down, and opened the door again. Everything outside the door remained the same.
The breeze in May carried a hint of heat, causing the willows by the pond to sway slightly. The long branches hung on the water, drawing beautiful ripples. The ripples gradually expanded in circles, and then continued again. Gradually disappeared.
Looking at the scenery in front of him, Huang Xiao let out a long breath, thinking that he must have not had a good rest in the past few days, and he was in a sad mood and drank too much. So what just happened was all an illusion?
He walked out of the house and stayed in a daze for a few minutes. Feeling a little hungry, he came back, closed the courtyard door behind his back, and wanted to go to the kitchen to get something to eat.
He just took a step and suddenly stopped! My heart was pounding.
Those noisy sounds were clearly heard again!
This... is too evil!
Huang Xiao hesitated for a moment, turned around, and opened the courtyard door fiercely.
The situation outside the hospital was the same as when he first saw it. For a moment, Huang Xiao was stunned!
His eyes were full of confusion and deep shock!
The strong fragrance of food in the air made his stomach growl. He turned his head stiffly and saw a food stall set up on the right side of the yard.
Steam was rising from the pot, and there were three tables in front of the food stall. A slender girl in simple clothes, with her back to Huang Xiao, was quickly clearing the dishes on the square table.
The girl turned around and looked at Huang Xiao. Her face could not be seen clearly in the mist, but Huang Xiao could only see that there seemed to be a smile in her dark and bright eyes. The girl blinked. , beckoned and shouted: "Brother Xiao, come here, eat soup!"
Huang Xiao was stunned and walked over.
The girl wiped the chair and motioned for Huang Xiao to sit down. Huang Xiao sat down a little at a loss and followed the girl's figure in a daze, his eyes empty and confused.
His mind was in a mess. He didn't get used to this kind of bizarre thing at all. In addition, he was also surprised by the girl's appearance. Although it was just a glimpse, the girl's beautiful face still made him feel excited. His heartbeat, especially the kindness in the girl's eyes, made him feel naturally warm.
He is twenty-eight this year, graduated from a third-rate medical university, and is delivering food in Beijing. He has seen countless beauties, but most of them dismissed him, or turned a blind eye and ignored him. I think back then in school, he was still very popular. He is destined to be a woman, and in terms of appearance, he is very confident.
But after leaving school and entering society, this self-confidence was shattered by various critical blows. In this era where everything is about money, who will look down on you if you don't have money?
The only love... A girl's smiling face suddenly appeared in his mind, but then only a bitter smile remained.
Every year when I go home during the Spring Festival, my father arranges a blind date, which is even more difficult to describe...
Single-parent families are now even more orphaned. Not to mention academic qualifications, not to mention jobs, cars, money, houses...
Any one of these items will scare off the woman! Not to mention that Huang Xiao accounted for so many items. Every blind date was wonderful at first, but after knowing the conditions, the woman started to find reasons, and some even said it too straightforwardly, which made Huang Xiao very uncomfortable.
But he was the only son in the family, and his mother died young. His father always hoped that he could get married and start a family as soon as possible. Huang Xiao also tried his best to cooperate again and again. Thinking that he would never have his father again in his life, Huang Xiao couldn't help but feel depressed.
"Well, let's eat"
The girl's clear and sweet voice brought Huang Xiao back to reality.
A bowl of steaming spicy spicy soup and a palm-sized sesame seed cake were placed in front of the table.
Huang Xiao recovered and nodded, and the girl turned around to greet the others.
Huang Xiao was really hungry after drinking on an empty stomach last night. He looked away, picked up the cooking cake, and took a bite.
He couldn't help but frown.
The taste is so bad! It's hard and astringent, and there's no added lard or chopped green onion. It's hard to swallow anyway.
He endured the discomfort and swallowed it. He choked and rolled his eyes. He quickly took a sip of the soup and then drank it.
I have to say that this spicy soup tastes really delicious. Although there is no red pepper, I don’t know what other seasonings are added. In short, it tastes very good. He drank up the bowl of soup in a few times. As for the one in his hand The sesame cakes were never touched again.
Huang Xiao stood up with satisfaction, subconsciously putting his hands in his pockets, trying to take out his mobile phone to scan the QR code to pay, but his hand never reached out.
A bowl of spicy soup costs fifteen coins, and a pancake costs five coins, a total of twenty coins.
Huang Xiao sat down awkwardly, thinking about how to talk to the girl, but his home was next door, and since the girl called him Brother Xiao, he probably knew her, so it shouldn't be a big problem.
He was about to get up and walk over to explain the situation when a young man in green clothes walked over quickly. He was about 20 years old, with a pair of cross-eyed eyes shining fiercely. He walked swaying from side to side and was extremely flamboyant. At first glance, he looked like a slave of a wealthy family. Guy.
"Ms. Yue, my young master is here to see you! Five bowls of soup and ten cakes!"
The young man in green took out a silver coin and lined it up on the chopping board, looking very proud.
The girl frowned slightly, collected the money, and counted the change in the money box.
The young man in green clothes glanced around, walked straight to Huang Xiao's desk, stared at him fiercely, and cursed: "His grandma's, get out of here!"
Huang Xiao was about to have a fit on the spot, but it was inappropriate to occupy someone else's seat after eating, and since he was new here, he didn't want to cause trouble, so he stood up and stood aside silently.
There were only three tables in this stall. After the boy took Huang Xiao's table, he went to drive away the other two tables. Before he could speak, the other diners scattered like rabbits, making the boy laugh loudly. laugh.
He quickly wiped Huang Xiao's table carefully twice, then turned around and ran out, and soon he bowed his head and greeted the five people who came over.
One of the young men was wearing a moon-white gown, a light green mesh scarf on his head, and a simple jade hanging on a shiny golden belt. He was holding a jade bone paper fan in his hand, shaking it gently as he walked. He was really noble. The hand holding the fan has three gold-inlaid jade fingers on each finger, which makes it even more luxurious. However, in Huang Xiao's opinion, it looks like a nouveau riche.
On the left and right sides of the young man were guarding two men in green clothes. They were dressed the same as the cross-eyed boy before. They must be that young man's boys.
"Master, the tables have all been wiped." The cross-eyed boy led the young man to sit at Huang Xiao's original seat, while the other men gathered around the other two tables.
The girl was quickly served spicy soup and pancakes. The young man obviously didn't know how to eat such coarse food. He sat contentedly by himself, waving his paper fan, and his narrow eyes just wandered around the girl. Obviously the drunkard's intention is not the wine.
"Looking for your money."
The girl placed a small bunch of copper coins in front of the boy's desk.
"Hey, Mrs. Yue, when did our young master take action? When did we find change? This is what our young master gave to Mrs. Yue. Besides, in two days, Mrs. Yue passed the house and became our young master's wife. The little prince If you are big, you should reward the smaller ones as much as Madam, so it is not in vain for me to help you pull the strings, Your Majesty!"
Wang Da was the cross-eyed boy who came over first. He licked his face and said flatteringly, and the other four men all whispered in agreement.
"Reward!" Mr. Gui closed the folding fan and stood up.
Wang Da thanked him happily, stood up and followed the young master, and the two of them walked to the girl.
"Ms. Yue, these are the candied fruits that our young master specially bought for you." Wang Da diligently took out an oil paper bag and placed it on the table.
The young master picked up a candied fruit with his finger, threw it up in a pretentious manner, raised his head slightly, and then caught it in one gulp.
"Okay! The young master is a real gentleman, so cool and unrestrained!"
Wang Da took the lead in applauding, and the other four boys were not far behind.
"Well……"
Unexpectedly, Young Master Gui suddenly made a strange sound in his mouth, put his hands on his throat, and then collapsed limply on the ground. His face quickly turned from white to red, and then turned purple.
Apparently it was stuck on the preserves!
This incident happened so suddenly that Wang Da and others were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they stood on the spot!
The girl's face also changed drastically, and everyone onlookers kept exclaiming!
"Master! Master!" Wang Da's voice changed, and he yelled hoarsely: "Quick! Quick! Where is the doctor!"
