Li Daitao

Liang Xiao cleaned up the yard and was washing the clothes that Xu Ji had changed yesterday. When he looked up, he saw Xu Ji sticking out his small head at the door. He was very surprised: "Xiao Ji, didn't you go home?"

Xu Ji didn't mention many things, and after walking this distance, after all, he was still young, and he couldn't take it anymore. When he put the things away, his whole face flushed, and he was panting on his knees.On the one hand, he raised his head and laughed intermittently: "My family, my family asked me to thank you."

Liang Xiao looked outside the door and saw that there was no one else, he was a little dumbfounded: "You came here by yourself?" He couldn't help but wonder if this was Xu Ji's own idea. Those who ran out may not have learned to be obedient by now.In fact, Xu Ji really didn't come by himself, someone sent him to the entrance of the village all the time, and then let him in alone.

But Xu Ji nodded repeatedly, so he had no choice but to believe it.Both of them are children, they don't have many worries of adults, on the contrary, they feel kind and speak more naturally, but Liang Xiao has always been steady and sensible, never messing around, Xu Ji's familiarity makes him really overwhelmed He still knows the seriousness, no matter whether what Xu Ji said is true or not, it is not a good thing for such a young child to be outside alone. Right now there is no adult at home, so he has to move a small stool for him to sit on, and is going to quickly put his clothes on the piston. He sends it back.

Xu Ji sat obediently at first and watched Liang Xiao work, while curiously looking at the small yard. There are two vegetable fields on the left and right, with a few common melons and vegetables planted, a few chickens and ducks raised in captivity, and the ground is clean. , There is a little flower dog tied under the tree near the door, which is no different from ordinary farmhouses.But it was very strange to Xu Ji.

Originally, he just sat there obediently and looked at it, but he was lively by nature, and he couldn't sit still when he was out of breath, so he asked Liang Xiao to help him bravely, so he insisted on finding something for him to do.

Liang Xiao could only watch helplessly as he rummaged left and right, knocked over the broom and overturned the flower pot, and when helping fetch water, he almost planted himself in the water tank, the more he helped, the more he helped.

In the end Xu Ji himself knew something was wrong, so he ran to tease the watchdog sleeping under the tree, threw a piece of candy and coaxed the little flower dog into submission, wagging his tail repeatedly at him.Xu Ji stretched out his hand to hug this dog. This dog has rolled all over the floor. How clean is his body? The fur looks smooth, but it feels all tangled together. Fabi.This little dog only knows one way to please him, that is, he sticks out his bright red tongue to lick him, but he doesn't know any other tricks such as rolling around in circles and standing upright.

Xu Ji only wiped his hands dirty and sticky, and lost interest in playing with it.Bored, he went to pester Liang Xiao again, shaking his arms to prevent him from doing work: "Brother, come play with me!" Looking at the clothes soaked in the basin, he curled his lips and said, "I don't want this clothes anymore, it's a shame!" That's it." He had enjoyed all the glory and preciousness since he was a child, so he said these words casually, without paying any attention to them.

Liang Xiao felt helpless when he heard this, originally he wanted to take advantage of the sun at noon, so he could dry it today, so that when Xu Ji left, he could return the clothes together.However, with Xu Ji's relentless posture at the moment, he understood that this little ancestor who descended from the sky was using the pretense of doing things, but he wanted to play in his bones, so he had to put down a handful of washed clothes, and poured clean water for Xu Ji After washing his hands and face, he coaxed him, "What do you want to play?"

Xu Ji has not forgotten what he is here for, the most important thing now is to win over his brother first, in his little head, it is the best way to play together, he was overjoyed when he heard this: "I have a slingshot, There are also kites." He actually knew a lot of tricks of fighting insects and catching birds, but he had no place to use them at the moment. A small kite came out.

Liang Xiao was dragged out of the yard by him, and when he went out, he opened the slingshot and aimed at the distance. Following his line of sight, he was startled, and quickly stopped him: "That's Grandma Wang's house." He can't beat his chicken."

Xu Ji snorted, intending to show his skills in front of Liang Xiao, and immediately turned around again, aiming at the fruit on the branch protruding from the wall next to him: "I hit it right..."

Liang Xiao secretly wiped off his cold sweat, but looking at Xu Ji's little face that was obviously over excited, and looking into those eyes full of expectation, it was hard to say what to blame him for for some reason.He grabbed his hand and smiled wryly, "Let's go fly a kite."

The kite was exquisite and bright, flying high in the sky, attracting several village children.Xu Ji had no playmates since he was a child, and now he is surrounded by many children. Apart from being proud, he also finds it indescribably interesting, so he generously lets others play for a while.

Everyone was happy, only Liang Xiao always remembered that there were still things to do at home.He is a down-to-earth and hard-working child. He has never run out to play like this before. Uncle Meng loves him very much, so naturally he will not say anything about him. Uncle Qin has a good temper, but his temper is also cold, let alone Care if he is lazy.But he was uneasy and always felt sorry.

He was very happy to see Xu Ji, so he didn't notice himself, quietly asked a bigger partner beside him to watch Xu Ji, and went home to have a look first.

It was half an hour after Liang Xiao went back, and just after rinsing and drying Xu Ji's clothes on the fence, the child hurried over just now, and when he entered the door, he panicked and shouted: "Liang Xiao, it's not good, your younger brother, and Erming and they started fighting..."

Liang Xiao was taken aback, thinking that Xu Ji was considered a guest, and if something happened to him, he would not know how to explain to his family, so he was stunned for a while, but he didn't have time to think, and hurriedly followed the visitor out.

The place where the kite was just flown has already overwhelmed a piece of grass. Four or five children, big and small, were crying. Another one was pressed to the ground. Xu Ji rode on him, and he didn't seem to suffer any disadvantage.

He squeezed his small fist condescendingly, and said viciously: "Are you going to accept it or not?" He was preparing to give the child a hard lesson if he dared to speak out loudly.

This dispute is actually quite simple. Liang Xiao only knew that Xu Ji had some self-familiar skills, but he didn't expect that he was not willing to be familiar with anyone.After Xu Ji got over the excitement, he looked back and saw that Liang Xiao didn't know when he left, but he had no party stick. He felt that he hadn't done things well, so he was immediately depressed, and he was about to leave with a sullen face. Find Liang Xiao.The rest of the children were playing vigorously, and when they saw him put away the kite and wanted to leave, they naturally stopped him and tried to persuade him at the same time.I don't know who among them said that Liang Xiao didn't like to play with everyone in the first place, and was usually bored to death, and it was not interesting at all.

His original intention was to let Xu Ji stay and play for a while, but before he said those words, Xu Ji got a big slap on the face.The little guy glared at him with anger, and was looking at him viciously: "How dare you speak ill of my brother."

The person who was beaten was inexplicable, so he was naturally unconvinced. When Xu Ji said this, he didn't think much about it, and just scolded Liang Xiao a few words.Unexpectedly, it was as if he had stabbed a hornet's nest. Xu Ji immediately blew up and hit him immediately. The rest of the people had nothing to do with them, but they were all playing together, so of course they had to help.But Xu Ji didn't talk about those many reasons, and beat anyone who persuaded and stopped, and it turned into a mess.

It is common for these children to fight at ordinary times, but it is just a dispute of whim.When I really suffered pain, I relaxed and wanted to cry.And Xu Ji is not a good friend, Yi Zhen dotes on him very much, usually he is the only one who bullies others.He has learned some basic kung fu, although now he can only be called a showman, more than enough to deal with a few country children, he also has the courage and ruthlessness, he will not make a sound when he is hurt, but he will be ten times stronger when he is full of energy. Return it tenfold.After going back and forth, he firmly gained the upper hand.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the older child hurried to find Liang Xiao. He obviously didn't expect Xu Ji to be so majestic, and he was also stunned when he saw this scene.

When Liang Xiao pulled Xu Ji up, those children were obviously afraid of him, and looked at the little overlord with some fear, and Xu Ji took a look, and ran away one after another.

It is common for children to fight. If the family finds out, they will fight again. These children will not complain.But if you don't tell your own family, it doesn't mean you won't sue the adults of your enemies.

At this moment Xu Ji was sitting upright on the small bench, his hands and feet were neatly arranged, his head was lowered, and he looked like he couldn't be more obedient.Liang Xiao was also sitting next to him, but he was in a daze with a worried brow, but Xu Ji was dishonest, looking sideways at Liang Xiao's expression from the corner of his eyes from time to time, and saw Qin Shu pushing the door in from the corner of his eye.He straightened up quickly and sat up straight.

Qin Shu didn't seem surprised to see him, and walked aside to wash his hands.

"Uncle Qin, you're back." Liang Xiao was startled when he saw him, gave a light 'ah', and said a little uneasy: "I forgot, I haven't washed the rice for cooking yet." He said so, But he didn't leave immediately, looked at Qin Shu, and hesitantly looked at Xu Ji who was sitting beside him, not knowing what to say.

Qin Shu just said "hmm", as if he didn't care about this question.

Xu Ji lowered his head and saw a pair of blue cloth shoes walking slowly and stopped in front of him.He could feel that Qin Shu was looking at him quietly, but he didn't speak.

Xu Ji thought for a while, and decided to preemptively strike. He brewed a pool of tears, raised his head, sniffed his nose and blinked, and the teardrops fell. He reached out and grabbed Qin Shu's clothes, sobbing and crying: "Uncle , my brothers outside are bullying me..." He has exquisite facial features, crying so aggrievedly, his small appearance is indeed very deceiving and distressing.

But on the way back, a child had already complained to him and explained everything clearly. Qin Shu never expected that Xu Ji could turn black and white without changing his face, and a villain would complain first.Slightly startled, he took a deep look at Xu Ji's face and turned his gaze to Liang Xiao.

However, Liang Xiao didn't dare to lie. When Qin Shu saw it, he said softly, "It's because I didn't like him..."

Liang Xiao had been with Qin Shu for a long time, just by looking at Uncle Qin's expression, he knew that he must have known what had happened.Qin Shu just nodded and didn't blame him for anything.

Xu Ji was also winking, seeing that something was wrong, he quickly said: "They were the ones who spoke ill of my brother first, and then beat me." He rolled up his sleeves, showing his arms like snow lotus root, and pointed to the two green pieces on it. Hong showed Qin Shu the wound.

When he saw Qin Shu just glanced at him casually, his expression flickered slightly, and he was just lost in thought, and there was no other change, let alone caring and asking him if it hurts or something.He couldn't help but feel depressed, rubbed the wound on his arm himself, and felt that it really hurt so bad. This time, he didn't need to fake it, and tears flowed down. Qin Shu only felt a little headache when he looked at him. Why did this kid run back again, and he didn't understand where his stubborn defense of Liang Xiao came from.But this almost unreasonable gesture really annoyed him.

Liang Xiao is sensible and well-behaved, he seldom makes people worry. Comparing the two, Xu Ji immediately shows off his stubbornness, and he is full of clever words to turn black and white. If he continues to indulge and pamper him like this, he doesn't know what kind of daring he will do in the future.Obviously, he doesn't need to worry about himself, Qin Shu also thinks he is not a violent person, but he is an exception when facing Xu Ji, if it is not for the child of someone else's family, no matter how pampered he is, it has nothing to do with him, he actually has a feeling that he wants to teach him a lesson immediately A lot of mood.

However, when he saw the scar, for some reason, he felt a little pain in his heart. He lost his mind for a while, and saw that Xu Ji was still crying. It was strange to say that, he just felt that the child was really wronged, and secretly sighed, with a gentle tone. Quite a lot.He wiped away Xu Ji's tears, and said lightly: "It's actually not painful to be said a few words by others, it's not a big deal."

"But they're talking nonsense..." Xu Ji wanted to argue a few more words, but when he raised his eyes to see Qin Shu's gentle and calm expression, he suddenly forgot what to say.

"You shouldn't hit people." Qin Shu had already walked to the general, rummaged through the things he brought, and found a bag of sesame cakes. "Acknowledge your mistake."

"That's for my brother, so don't give it to others." Xu Ji quit, glanced at Qin Shu secretly, and whispered, "Besides, they beat me too, why..."

However, when Qin Shu took his little hand, Xu Ji's attitude softened immediately.He obediently let Qin Shu pull him, went out and took two steps, thinking, seeing Qin Shu personally accompany him to admit his mistakes, this kind of thing even his father had never done, he didn't think he was wrong at all, With such unexpected good luck, I was so happy in my heart, I couldn't help giggling out loud.

He laughed inexplicably, Qin Shu stopped, and looked at Xu Ji strangely, this little guy was full of complacency and showing off his might, how could there be half-consciousness of admitting his mistake?

Seeing Qin Shu looking at him, Xu Ji lowered his face and smiled at Qin Shu, revealing a pair of faint dimples.At the same time, he squeezed his little hand into Qin Shu's palm.

Seeing that he had no repentance at all, Qin Shu sighed, and stopped forcing him, and pulled him back to the yard, asking Liang Xiao to send him back.

Xu Ji originally wanted to be lazy for a while, but remembering his father's order, this opportunity came quickly, and he took Liang Xiao's hand and left without saying a word, "Brother." , pulled Liang Xiao down, and whispered in his ear: "Is Uncle Qin your father? You look so alike!"

Liang Xiaozheng was in a daze, and was taken aback by his words. Xu Ji was not the first person to say that he and Uncle Qin looked alike. For father and son, Xu Ji is still No.1.His face couldn't help getting a little hot, and he distinguished softly: "Uncle Qin's surname is Qin, and my surname is Liang. How could he be my father?"

But I heard Xu Ji snorted and ignored what he said: "We don't care about seeing others bullying us, but I have to admit my mistake, he is a bad father!" Saying this, his tone was a bit coquettish.

Liang Xiao couldn't reason with him, so he covered his little head with a smile, and said softly, "It's wrong to hit someone with your hands." Seeing that she couldn't win Liang Xiao to share the same hatred with him, Xu Ji shook his head and curled his lips to express his regret. The beater was very dissatisfied with this statement, but held Liang Xiao's arm tightly: "Brother, come to my house and be my brother. Come, come."

Entangled all the way, but it is also lively, this is not a long way to go in the blink of an eye.Xu Ji insisted, and insisted that Liang Xiao send him into the house, and refused to leave after he entered. Once he entered the yard, he insisted that Liang Xiao wait outside, saying that it was Liang Xiao who sent him back. Not a little gift.

With Yi Zhen's ability, it is not difficult to borrow a manor in this small town, and the view of the manor is very good. Although Liang Xiao is calm, he is full of children. He is still young and has not seen much in the world. There are carved beams and painted buildings everywhere, and the picturesque courtyard has never been there before, so it is inevitable that I will feel a little timid.

Except for the first time someone brought him a plate of snacks, there was no one else in the garden.But Liang Xiao didn't dare to walk around casually, so he sat on the wooden railing and waited for Xu Ji to come out.

But he didn't know that not far away, someone pressed his face tightly behind the window lattice, and was greedily watching his every move, as if he wanted to make up for all these years.

The child was thin, with a delicate and clean oval face and a pointed chin.A blue cloth has been washed a little whitish, and there are puddings that are not very eye-catching at the corners.He sat on the railing very neatly, picked up pieces of snacks and carefully put them into his mouth, while looking around curiously.There are two parrots hanging under the eaves, jumping briskly in the cage, the colorful feathers quickly attracted his attention, he smiled and stared intently, the evening sun shone on him, The little fair face was coated with a faint golden light, so bright that it was almost dazzling.

Yi Zhen felt that the sunlight was particularly glaring today, making his eyes moist.This is his son!He and Xiao Shu's child!Fortunately, she was sitting right in front of his eyes.At this moment, those longings and pains seemed so insignificant.

"Father." Seeing his father losing his composure, Xu Ji tiptoed to reach the window grille to take a look, but after a few failed attempts, he dared to climb onto Yi Zhen's leg and lowered his voice. idea. "Or, let's keep my brother and not let him go back. When daddy comes to look for him, we can keep daddy. We can go back when our family is reunited. OK?"

After hearing what he said, Yi Zhen finally came back to his senses, hugged Xu Ji, poked his little face and said with a soft smile, "You little bastard, full of bad ideas." Having said so, the expression on his face The expression on his face was obviously greatly moved by this method.

However, he has not lost his mind, calmed down a little, and ordered to the silent servant next to him: "Please come in." After speaking, he sat upright on the chair in the hall, but his hands were covered with cold sweat, which was unprecedented tension.
