"My uncle said it." Jin Xia responded very quickly, "But don't blame him, he also accidentally missed something, and I will know."
"I told him again and again, but I didn't expect him to be so unreliable." Mrs. Shen's face was sinking, "He clearly knew that I was not deeply taboo about things at home, but he casually let others know, how can it be seen that he is not one at all Reliable man!"
"Aunt, aunt..."
Seeing that Mrs. Shen was really angry this summer, she was a little flustered.
"Like him, who treats my family background as something to talk about after dinner, how can I take him to the graves of his parents..."
"Auntie, I was wrong, I was wrong, it's not what my uncle said, it's really not, you mustn't wrong him." This summer hurriedly explained, "About your family background, my uncle didn't mention a word, and his mouth was serious. It's on."
"It's not him, who else would it be?"
Under her gaze, Jin Xia swallowed her saliva with difficulty, and said, "You have always known that I am a member of the official family... Since Peach Blossom Forest, I have secretly asked people to investigate this matter, sorry auntie, I I'm just curious, I don't mean to harm you."
Mrs. Shen did not relax for a moment, and then asked: "I know that you are an official family member, and I also know that you are a small catcher from Six Doors. The person you can send is probably only Yang Yue, not to mention the only one. , You don't even have permission to read some archived files. Tell me, how do you check them?"
"That... money can enlighten me."
This summer, he accompanies the smiling face, and secretly makes up his mind: Lu Yi can't be confessed even if he is killed.
"You don't have one or two pieces of silver in your whole body, what kind of gods can you know?" Mrs. Shen looked sideways at her.
"... You can take credit, this is our six-door rule, you don't understand." This summer was a bit difficult to answer, and felt that he couldn't be questioned like this any more, "By the way, Yang Yue asked me to look at the porridge on the stove, and it must be rushed. Well, I almost forgot, I'll take a look first..."
Saying that, she ran away.
Mrs. Shen listened to her footsteps in the room, and couldn't help but smile: "This child is very protective of Lord Lu, and he refuses to speak out."
As a matter of fact, she didn't know that this matter had been kept in dust for many years, and in the details, apart from Jin Yiwei, who was good at collecting information, where else could others find it. Among them, only Lu Yi could easily find out her details. Fortunately, he was not malicious, whether it was out of sympathy for her life experience or out of gratitude, he had no intention of revealing her life experience. Mrs. Shen knew this.
The next day, before dawn, Xie Xiao put on the whole set of clothes, shoes and socks that had been worn out this summer, and prepared to go down to the big locust tree by the Qingbo River. As soon as they reached the gate of the other courtyard, they saw an old woman with white hair, bowing her waist, pacing back and forth at the gate.
"Excuse me, who are you?"
When did such an old woman appear, Xie Xiao was puzzled for a while, only that she was a relative of Chunyu's family.
"Son, you're going to fish today, I'm worried for my mother, and I want to follow along." The old woman approached him tremblingly, and was about to touch his face, so shocked that Xie Xiao stepped back.
Seeing that Xie Xiao was so frightened, the old woman straightened her waist and giggled, and then she returned to her normal voice: "Brother, I don't look like I'm pretending, even you were fooled by me."
Xie Xiao heard Jin Xia's voice, frowned and looked at her: "Why do you dress like this?"
"It's not easy for people to recognize you when you dress up like this to buy fish." This summer, she was really satisfied with her appearance, "Let's go!"
Xie Xiao is also a playful person. He looks interesting, but he doesn't stop her. In order to avoid being noticed, the two went to the big locust tree one after the other...
At present, the world is in chaos, and under the big locust tree has become the only fish market in Xinhe City. There are more than ten boats that gather here to sell fish every day, and the number of fish is also limited. And the restaurant, the rest of the fish are sold in the cabin.
The fish market has the rules of the fish market. The fish owner can only open the market to sell fish. If the fish owner is in the future, he will not be able to sell a single fish. Otherwise, if you violate the rules, you will not be able to enter the fish market.
In the cabin, fresh fish were jumping around, and under the stone steps of the big locust tree, women who were going to buy fish were huddling and waiting. The old woman dressed up this summer is naturally unable to squeeze others, so she can only stand behind the crowd and wait.
Finally, a middle-aged man in a large velvet silk robe, whose body can only be described as round, came over and yawned. Everyone spontaneously made way for him. This man didn't even bother to say anything. Squinting, he looked at the fish in each cabin, little by little with his fingers, he estimated the weight, calculated the approximate price, and how much money he could draw. Only then did he lift up his sleeves, waved Bai Bai's fat arm in the air, and dragged his tone: "Kai-shi-"
The fish market suddenly fell into a commotion.
Those who pick fish, those who take scales, those who choose fat and thin, those who bargain... This summer, they moved to the front and went to the boat of the small boss.
"Are there any perch weighing four or five pounds?" she asked in an old voice.
"No, no..." The little leader waved his hand impatiently, then threw a grass carp onto the shore heavily, and shouted, "Does anyone want a grass carp of twelve pounds?"
This summer, I looked into his cabin several times, and there were not many fish in it, far less than other boats. It seems that he was fishing here as a pretense, and he didn't fish seriously at all.
In that room, Xie Xiao found the fish owner and indicated that he also wanted to fish. The fish master was sitting on the rattan chair under the tree, holding the mouth of the teapot, dangling his two short legs, and squinting to look at Xie Xiao.
"Who is it?"
"Yangzhou people."
"Oh, good place. Can you get water?"
Xie Xiao was full of impatience and knew how to pretend to be a grandson properly, so he nodded.
"Can you fish?"
Xie Xiao nodded again.
The fish owner gulped down a sip of tea, and then said slowly, "I don't know what the rules are in Yangzhou. In my case, the rules are three draws and one, understand?"
The Wuan Gang only draws one from five, but this grandson actually draws one from three, so black! Xie Xiao cursed secretly in his heart, and he had to be submissive on his face: "Yes, it's all according to your rules."
"Okay! Come with me."
Only then did the fish master get up and led him down the stone steps slowly, and went straight to the front of the boat of the little leader. Just now, Xie Xiao had caught a glimpse of deliberately buying fish on this boat this summer. He knew that the boatman must be dressed up by Japanese pirates. When the fish owner took him to the boat, he didn't expect it, and he secretly screamed in his heart. Has been discovered
This summer, I was carrying a perch on the shore, and when I saw this scene, I couldn't help but feel tight.
"Dong San, how many fish did you catch today?" The fish owner frowned and looked into the cabin, "Everyone is a hundred catties of fish, and your boat doesn't even weigh four or fifty catties, so I want to be like you. Yes, I must not drink the northwest wind!"
Dong San, the little boss, I don't know if it's his real name or a pseudonym. He was probably used to being told by the fish owner on weekdays, so he replied lazily, "I'll just catch more tomorrow."
"Tomorrow? You say this every day... I don't have to wait for tomorrow. Starting today, this little brother will be fishing with you in a boat. As for how the two of you will share the account, I don't care. The fish has to give me three draws." The fish master pushed Xie Xiao onto the boat.
"...Hey! Hey!" Dong San was a little anxious, "No, I don't recognize him, why should I have to fish with him."
"That's what I said!" The fish master said angrily, "The amount of money I pay every day is not enough to stick between my teeth, so just leave me if you don't want to!"
Probably because he needed the identity of selling fish as a cover, Dong San didn't care about the fish owner anymore, glared at Xie Xiao, and said angrily: "Yin Shi is going to go out to the river to fish, can you?"
"Okay!" Xie Xiao should be very happy, making Dong San's face even more ugly.
The progress of this matter can be said to be unexpectedly smooth, but Dong San is not only a Japanese pirate, but also a small leader among the Japanese pirates. Xie Xiao stayed with him alone, in case he looked at Xie Xiao unpleasantly...
Not only did she think so this summer, but Shangguanxi thought of this question the moment she heard this.
"No, fourth, you can't go!" she said.
Xie Xiao replied disapprovingly: "I'm not afraid of him, and besides, he is on the boat, how can he tolerate me, if it is in the water, it will be even better."
"Fourth, he is not an ordinary thief, he is a Japanese pirate!" Shangguan Xi was very anxious, "How talented is the boat, if he is waiting for the opportunity to plot against you, you will not be able to escape. At that time, he will throw you into the river again, You..." She didn't say any more, the expression on her face said everything.
"Sister, do you want me to make it better?" Xie Xiao was a little annoyed by what she said, and frowned, "What, I was thrown into the river."
Shangguanxi tried her best to move her body down, her leg hurt and she couldn't help frowning in pain: "Fourth, I didn't mean that, I was worried that you would be plotted by him."
"I know that you are good for me, everything you do is for my good," Xie Xiao scratched his head in annoyance, "but I am not a child anymore, I have been wandering outside for two or three years... Yes, I have been beaten , I've been injured, I've been in jail, but I'm standing here right now."
"Fourth..."
Shangguanxi still wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Xie Xiao: "Sister, I'm not going to this matter. They will definitely try to sneak in again this summer. My life is life, but other people's life is not life."
"That's not what I meant, you have to think about it for the old man, in case something happens to you..." Shangguan Xi said anxiously.
"I'll leave my words here today. Even if the old man knew about this, he would never say a single word. Do you believe it or not?" Xie Xiao said proudly.
"Fourth, you have to go back safely, that's the most important thing."
"Sister, you came here because of me, right?" Xie Xiao was silent for a moment, took a deep breath, and then looked at Shangguanxi puzzled, "Sister! I have something I wanted to ask for a long time. You, have you always looked down on me in your heart? Think I'm reckless, impulsive, and can't do anything?"
"...I didn't..." Shangguanxi tried to refute, but Xie Xiao couldn't listen to her at all.
"I've been out there for three years, yes, I haven't made a name for myself, but I feel happy that the world is big! I'm back in the gang, you said that for the sake of the old man, I have to stay and be the leader of the young gang, okay, I'll just do it. Be the leader of the young gang, but what's the use of this young gang leader? They still have to obey your orders in everything in the help. I am the painting on the wall! Also, you didn't want to come here this time, but for the sake of Looking at me, you are still here. When you were with the brothers in the temple, you were the senior sister and you were in charge of me. I have nothing to say. As a junior and senior, you should be in charge. Helping them with serious business this summer, you won't let me go... Yes, you have helped me a lot, you can do more than me! But you are not my mother, you are in charge everywhere, you make I tie my hands and feet, when will it end?"
"I..." Before she could say the words, the tears could not help pouring out. She quickly wiped them away, trying to make her voice appear calmer, "Okay, I know, I won't stop you in the future. You go out first, I want to be alone. Quiet."
Xie Xiao was also angry, turned around and left the room.
In the quiet room, Shangguanxi covered her face with a quilt to stop her crying that could no longer be restrained: she never thought that for Xie Xiao, her concern would make him so disgusted.
**************************************************** *****************
The temperature of the fried fish sticks is just right, the gold is bright, the outside is crispy and the inside is flaky, and the aroma overflows just after being served on the table, making it very greedy this summer. She put the steamed rice on the table and greeted Uncle Beggar repeatedly: "Uncle, hurry up and call my aunt to eat, it won't taste good when it's cold..."
Chun Yumin set the table and chopsticks. Seeing that he wanted to steal fish sticks this summer, he pursed his lips and smiled, "Don't worry, Brother Yang is still making sauce in the stove. He said that fried fish sticks are delicious with sauce."
"Dayang is virtuous!" This Xia tutted, "It would be a blessing to marry him."
I happened to see Xie Xiao, and hurriedly greeted him this summer: "It's just right, come and eat!"
Xie Xiao responded, and just as he was about to step in, a person caught up behind him, and he punched Xie Xiao's jawbone with astonishing force. .
The gold star appeared in front of him, Xie Xiao didn't have time to see who the person was, that person had already greeted him with another punch, and at the same time he punched, he kicked the person violently, kicked the person out, and slammed into the door.
"A... Ajin, you're crazy!"
This summer, for fear that they would knock the table over, I forgot to hold the fried fish sticks in my hands.
Xie Xiao struggled to stand up, looked at A Rui who was still covered with black veil, and said angrily, "You are crazy!"
Although Ah Rui's kung fu has recovered a little, he is determined not to be Xie Xiao's opponent. At this time, he struggled to stand up, without answering, he threw another punch. Xie Xiao disdain to fight against him, sideways dodge, he couldn't hold back his momentum, fell to the table, and the curtain fell to the ground.
Chun Yumin was so frightened that he quickly picked up a drawer of steamed rice and hid beside him. This summer looked at her approvingly.
"She was so kind to you, yet you broke her heart like this!" A Rui, with a hoarse voice, turned his head and glared at Xie Xiao.
"Who..." Xie Xiao was stunned at first, and then understood, "What do you know about me and my senior sister! When will it be your turn to be busy?"
"You can't hurt her heart! Are you worthy of her like this!"
Arui said angrily.
This is a bit familiar, and it seems that he has heard it before. Xie Xiao was stunned and stared at A Rui's face. After a while, he was finally seen through: "You are A Rui!"
A Rui was stunned, and in a hurry, he went to find a veil and put it on, and said in his mouth, "No, no, you have identified the wrong person."
He took a step forward and kicked his cap off. Xie Xiao clamped his throat, making it difficult for him to breathe. He reached out and grabbed his face with intertwined scars...
"Brother, no!" Jin Xia screeched, putting down the plate and avoiding Xie Xiao's hand.
"You recognize him?"
Jin Xia sighed and said briefly: "He was seriously injured and was rescued by Master Lu, because... his face, he didn't want you to know, so he kept hiding it from you and Sister Shangguan."
Xie Xiao let go of his hand and said dissatisfiedly: "I said, I always thought that he was sneaking and staring at us, so I knew there was a problem."
"His injury is almost healed, and I wanted to tell you in the past two days." This summer added.
"No... don't let her know." A Rui picked up the veil and put it on again, his tone trembling slightly.
"Why is this? Let me tell you, my sister doesn't like to be deceived." Xie Xiao just saw that A Rui's scars were very hideous. He thought that he had suffered a lot, so he didn't care about his talent and patted him on the shoulder. Said, "It's alright, if she knew you were A Rui, she would be very happy. In Yangzhou, you disappeared for several days, she used a lot of people to find you, and she owed the Yan Gang's favor. Tell me, you Is it worthy of her to keep such a secret from her?"
"I'm sorry for her..."
A Rui said in a low voice, unwilling to say any more, the hood was lowered, and he hurried away.
Xie Xiao looked at his back inexplicably, then turned to Jin Xia: "What do you mean? Did he do something to hurt my sister?"
If I find out about this again, I am afraid that this meal will not stop. This summer, I sighed: "Brother, let's eat the meal first, and then talk about other things?"
"No!" Xie Xiao insisted, "It's not clear, who can eat it."
"I can eat it."
This summer looked at him with extreme sincerity.
Xie Xiao has always eaten soft and not hard, so he had to say: "... Let's talk while eating."
For a while, Yang Yue brought the sauce from the stove, Cen Shou helped bring the fish ball soup, Chun Yumin straightened the overturned round stool, and served everyone a meal this summer, and Uncle Beggar and Mrs. Shen also came.
"The house is starting to be demolished, it's promising!" Uncle Beg glanced at the half-falling door panel and said. The door panel was knocked down by A Rui who was kicked by Xie Xiao.
This summer nodded again and again: "That is, since ancient times, my generation has grown... Aunt, this is the fresh fish I bought today. Dayang's craftsmanship is good, you will eat more later."
Mrs. Shen smiled slightly.
"I'll just install the door when I go back, what a big deal." Xie Xiao urged Jinxia, "You should say it quickly."
I took a bite of rice first, and then took a few bites of vegetables. This summer, I vaguely said while chewing: "That's it... what's going on... that... this... peach blossom... This fish soup is really fresh... Then she... "
In the pile of "fish balls, fish soup, fried fish sticks", Xie Xiao finally heard something important: "You said that Zhai Lanye was killed by him?!"
Yang Yue was drinking the soup with a spoon, but when he heard this, his hand froze slightly, and most of the soup was spilled, and Chun Yumin saw it in his eyes.
"It's not just her, there are... three female corpses in the peach blossom forest, which were almost eaten by snakes." This summer shrugged, "It is estimated that he succeeded... Thinking about the hardships he suffered later, life is better than death, it's really retribution what!"
After a long while, Xie Xiao frowned and said, "This kid is as silent as a rock on weekdays, but he didn't expect to be so ruthless, even women can do it. I can't let him stay by my sister's side, too. Dangerous!"
Yang Yue finished his bowl of rice and left the table silently.
"What's wrong with Big Brother Yang?" Chun Yumin whispered to Jin Xia, "He doesn't seem to be quite right."
Seeing Yang Yue's back turn out of the hospital this summer, he patted his forehead in annoyance: "Oops, I shouldn't have said this... It's all you, you have to tell me!" The last sentence was directed at Xie Xiao.
Xie Xiao looked at her inexplicably: "What happened to him? Does this have anything to do with him?"
"Don't talk, don't talk..."
I didn't eat this summer, so I hurried to comfort Yang Yue first.
