talk about wine

In the afternoon, Meng Chuxi asked Zhou Qingwu to stay at home, saying that there were some matters in the shop that she needed to deal with temporarily.

But after Meng Chuxi went out, she didn't go to Jinyun Pavilion, but went straight to Zhoujia Village. She was thinking about Zhou Qingwu all the way, and her expression was very dull.

Aunt Liu was a little surprised when she saw her: "Chuxi, why did you come back in the afternoon? How is Qingwu?"

"She's fine. She's resting at home. Yesterday, she threw all her things up the mountain and I'll get them back for her." Meng Chuxi seemed very calm at the moment.

"Hey, why is that girl in such a hurry to get her stuff, but it's good that she's okay." Aunt Liu didn't doubt that she had him.

Meng Chuxi asked unintentionally, "Auntie, who is Yang Zhizhang?"

Aunt Liu was slightly taken aback when she heard that, and then frowned again: "That rascal is not a thing. He is proficient in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling, and his hands and feet are not clean. He is a big disaster in Yangjiawan. Hey, why did you suddenly asked about him?"

Meng Chuxi smiled: "I heard someone talk about it, so I'm curious, why haven't I heard of it before?"

"Oh, you don't know, he committed a crime before and was arrested and locked up for several years. Now that the family had some money, it was stuffed with the government, and it was only released in the past few days. This is not known to the village today. When he came back, we The two villages are worried. Every time he comes, he will cause trouble. We are all afraid of him. He is unreasonable and messy. He is just a villain. I am thinking to remind you, never let Qingwu come here alone in the future Yes, you too. That person is not upright, you and girl Qingwu have a good life, don't be harmed by animals."

Meng Chuxi lowered her eyes and nodded: "I won't let her come alone in the future, so I have to work harder, auntie."

"It's needless to say, next year you can resell it without you, and it will be much more convenient to buy it in Qingyang Town." Aunt Liu suggested.

Speaking of this, she quickly pulled Meng Chuxi back and said, "You still don't want to go alone. I heard from Yangjiawan people today that that bastard also bought the land from you. It will be terrible if you meet him. "

Meng Chuxi agreed, "Thank you, Aunt Liu, I won't go up the mountain. There are many people in the morning, so I'll go back to the fields."

"That's fine, be careful. Fortunately, girl Qingwu just fell down yesterday, she didn't meet that bastard. He always liked to go to Qingwu in the past." Aunt Liu muttered, spat, and she was disgusted between the lines. .

Meng Chuxi could hear clearly, and his anger grew even stronger, so this was not the first time he wanted to get his hands on Qingwu.

She thought very clearly in her heart that there was no way for them to speak up about this matter. Reporting to the officials was just a dream. There was no evidence and nothing could be done. Even in the 21st century, there was no way to punish them.And once it got out, it would hurt Zhou Qingwu far more than that beast, but such a scourge almost destroyed Zhou Qingwu, and she was still thinking about her, so it was impossible for Meng Chuxi to bear it.

She looked carefully along the road on the mountain yesterday, and finally found the basket stuck in the bush, and there were two Poria cocos in it.The basket should have rolled down, but the poria cocos was scattered in the grass, but the man didn't take it away.Looking at the scene here, Meng Chuxi seemed to have seen the scene where Zhou Qingwu was stopped and entangled by that scum here, his breathing was a little short, his chest heaved sharply, and his eyes were red.

After picking up the things, Meng Chuxi stood there for a long time before going down the mountain.She put on the bamboo hat at home, and sat quietly under the mulberry tree, keeping her eyes on the people who came and went.

Soon a tall man came into her line of sight. When he came to inspect the field, the people who patrolled the field turned their heads in fear of avoiding it, and kept silent. The original conversation was cut off in an instant.

The man's arrogant and rough voice came over unscrupulously. Meng Chuxi didn't care to listen to it, but just looked at him silently, imprinting his appearance in his heart. That person was Yang Zhizhang.

Seeing that he went up the mountain with a hoe after swaying around, Meng Chuxi stood up, glanced at the mulberry tree above his head, it was almost time to harvest mulberries, and Qingwu was coming, so she couldn't let her see this order again. People gag stuff.

Once again, she felt the pain brought about by this era. She must not be naive if she wants to live here, and she must not have illusions about people. Sometimes money and force are both sharp weapons.

She got up and took a deep breath, ready to go back.The weather changed suddenly in the afternoon, and the gloomy sky soon began to rain. Meng Chuxi's bamboo hat came in handy now. She was carrying a bamboo hat with a basket on her back. In addition to Poria cocos, there were also mulberries she had picked from trees.At this time, most of the mulberries were half red and half purple, so she picked a handful of ripe black ones and brought them back to Zhou Qingwu.

She didn't intend to hide Zhou Qingwu's coming to Zhoujia Village by herself, but there were some things she had to do.

The rain was pattering outside the house, Zhou Qingwu and Wu Wu sat under the eaves and watched the rain fall like a curtain of beads. The osmanthus leaves in the yard were hit by the rain and made crackling sounds. Everything was rhythmic like a movement.

The feathers of the chickens in the yard were soggy, and they were all huddled under the eaves of the porch, cooing like pigeons.The day lily planted was very green under the rain, and the rose flower was already alive.

It was clearly a pleasing and beautiful scene, but Zhou Qingwu felt uncomfortable when it happened suddenly. She was at a loss, and the dull feeling in her chest was difficult to dispel, as if she couldn't find the original source.The only thing that could make her feel better was thinking about Meng Chuxi, she was just sitting there staring at the rain curtain, distracted.

This feeling was too uncomfortable, and she couldn't bear to think one by one, what made her feel so uncomfortable.It wasn't until she accidentally thought of the matter that she was desperately suppressing in her heart that the feeling of irritability suddenly became acute, and she knew it.

Zhou Qingwu's face turned pale, and she buried her head powerlessly, but she couldn't relieve the discomfort, that person was there, that face, his voice was haunting her like a ghost, even in her sleep she was afraid .

Last night, I forced myself to suppress it because I was afraid of making Meng Chuxi uncomfortable, but how could it end like this.Her fear of Yang Zhizhang back then was calmed down after he was arrested for three months, and she didn't see him for three months. Yesterday's really desperate thing that made her want to die, and the culprit was now peaceful, so she How long will it take to slow down.

She even had a fear of running away, leaving here to go to a place without him.Suddenly a gust of wind blew by, the doors and windows creaked, Wuwu raised her head, Zhou Qingwu also woke up from the demon, she scolded herself in her heart while pinching the corner of her clothes.It was Meng Chuxi's hard work to make their lives better. Once they leave, wouldn't all their previous efforts be wasted.

Confused by reason and emotion, she just sat alone for a long time, until a passer-by with an umbrella passed by her door, and she suddenly realized that Meng Chuxi didn't bring an umbrella. Is she coming back?Wouldn't it be raining if you didn't bring an umbrella? Jinyun Pavilion didn't know if there was an umbrella.

Meng Chuxi could always pull her out of this gloom immediately. She stood up and limped into the house, and came out with an umbrella in her hand.

Just as she was about to put on her hat and coir raincoat to deliver an umbrella, a figure wearing a hat appeared at the door, Zhou Qingwu was taken aback, it was Meng Chuxi.

Seeing that she was holding an umbrella in her hand, Meng Chuxi immediately guessed her intention, walked over quickly, and took the umbrella from her hand, "Do you want to give me an umbrella?"

Zhou Qingwu nodded, and she reached out to touch Meng Chuxi's clothes. The bamboo hat was not enough to cover the wind and rain, and Meng Chuxi was still wet a lot.She gestured angrily: I should have gone earlier, you are all wet, change your clothes quickly.

Meng Chuxi hung the bamboo hat on the wall, carried the basket with one hand, and helped Zhou Qingwu back to the house with the other.Zhou Qingwu naturally saw the familiar carrying basket, he was a little surprised but didn't say anything.

Meng Chuxi accidentally touched Zhou Qingwu's hand, which was wet and cold, and his brows changed undetectably. How long has Zhou Qingwu been sitting outside?Before he had time to think about it, he stretched out his hand to hold Zhou Qingwu's cold hand, lowered his head and rubbed it for her, Zhou Qingwu could clearly see the melancholy revealed between his brows.

She just gave Meng Chuxi a push and asked her to change clothes.Meng Chuxi felt very uncomfortable at the moment. She knew Zhou Qingwu well, and her changes and thoughts could not escape her eyes. Why this happened, the answer seemed self-evident.

Zhou Qingwu's body was not violated, but her spirit was obviously hurt.Taking off the wet clothes, Meng Chuxi tied up the clothes she put on with a sullen face, and once again determined what she had to do.

After changing her clothes, Zhou Qingwu was making tea for her. At this moment, the seriousness on Meng Chuxi's face was gone, and it was Zhou Qingwu's favorite gentle smile again.

In her hand, she held a small bag made of mulberry leaves and branches, which contained fresh mulberries, which were so red that they had turned purple-black and bright in color.It was just washed by her, and it was covered with crystal water droplets, which was very beautiful.

"I went back to the village and saw that the mulberry was ripe, so I picked some and tasted whether it was sweet or not."

Zhou Qingwu took one and put it in his mouth, and the purple-red juice flowed out immediately. The sweet juice and soft flesh were delicious.

Meng Chuxi saw that there was a smile on her face, and the smile finally sank into her eyes. She also tasted one herself. The sweet and sour taste was much better than the plump and beautiful mulberries she had bought before.Naturally ripened fruits and accumulated delicacy are difficult to achieve in an impetuous society.

The two shared a bag of mulberries, and they would feed them to the curious Wuwu. Unexpectedly, Wuwu liked it very much. The hair around his mouth was dyed purple, which made the two of them laugh.

At this time, there was no haze between Zhou Qingwu's brows, just like his lovely and bright appearance before.But when Meng Chuxi was woken up by someone around her at night, she knew it was just an appearance, and the harm caused by that person was still there.

After wiping the sweat off Zhou Qingwu's forehead, Meng Chuxi held her in his arms and gently coaxed her. After a long time, the tight body in her arms softened, and she curled up in her arms, as if wanting to find a shelter so that she could be safe.

The pain and hatred in her heart were intertwined, and Meng Chuxi couldn't understand why some people always coveted other people's treasures. The only thing she cherished and the only thing she had, was still to be destroyed and hurt by others.

Meng Chuxi didn't sleep well and woke up very early.The weather is still wet today, not as sunny as before.After breakfast, Meng Chuxi squatted in front of her, and said with a soft smile: "In the future, if you don't go back alone, you won't be able to farm the land and go up the mountain to collect herbs. Will you be bored?"

Zhou Qingwu frowned in distress, and nodded. In fact, she was bored doing things before. She was used to having Meng Chuxi, but she just thought about it, so she wouldn't be so ignorant.So he raised his hand and gestured: I can go to Xiuzhuang to pick up the work.

In fact, it's not that simple. No one knows that her embroidery is good, and she won't even be given the chance to try it. Even though she's in Qingyang Town now, she doesn't necessarily get better.

Meng Chuxi just pretended not to know, and said with a little pity: "It seems that Qingwu doesn't want me to raise it. I think if you are willing, I will discuss it with the shopkeeper. I will wait for you to go to Jinyun Pavilion and help me keep some accounts. .”

Zhou Qingwu's eyes lit up, he reached out and grabbed her sleeves and shook them again and again, his eyes were full of longing, and there was a coquettish smile on his face, bright and lovely.

Since the accident, this was the happiest appearance Meng Chuxi had seen of her. The sudden soreness in her heart almost made her eyes turn red.She frowned to hide it, and said deliberately: "But there is no salary."

Zhou Qingwu eagerly gestured: No wages, just having you.

After hearing this, the corners of Meng Chuxi's mouth twitched slightly. There was no trace of the sudden sourness, because the corners of Meng Chuxi's lips rose quickly, and with a chuckle, she pinched her cheek: "Your mouth is so sweet, have you eaten too much mulberry?" ?”

Zhou Qingwu's face turned red, and Meng Chuxi continued: "I told the shopkeeper today, then you have to be at home alone first."

Zhou Qingwu nodded: Your clothes are not finished yet.She just happened to be able to make clothes for Meng Chuxi.

Meng Chuxi smiled, got up and went to Jinyun Pavilion without saying anything.

When seeing her, Zhonglou glanced at her: "Is that girl feeling better?"

Meng Chuxi nodded: "I have to recuperate for a few days after I sprained my leg, but I was frightened and my spirits are not very good."

"Then what are you rushing to do, wouldn't it be worse to leave her alone." Zhong Lou said bluntly.

Meng Chuxi also smiled: "I think so too, so there is something I want to ask Uncle Zhong and the shopkeeper to agree to."

"Although Qingwu can't speak, she is smart, capable, and hardworking. Even in Qingyang Town, those people refused to give her a chance. I definitely don't dare to let her go back alone now. She is a strong person. Come here She can't bear to just sit still. So I asked the shopkeeper and Uncle Zhong to keep her, no need to pay, just to teach her something, or let her read some books in Jinyun Pavilion."

Uncle Zhong glanced at the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper sighed: "What a big deal, how can I refuse to bring me a little girl here for free? Besides, we all like her, and if we want to read books, Uncle Zhong must have no objection, right?" .”

Bell Tower said with a stern face: "I gave her all the tea, are you still stingy with the books, just bring them here."

Meng Chuxi looked at them with hot eyes. It was really lucky to meet Yan Qian and this group of people in Jinyun Pavilion.
