Li Daitao

The wet towel felt cool on his body and it was probably very comfortable, so Xu Ji didn't make any fuss anymore.Qin Shu saw that the utensils in the carriage were complete, and it was obvious that Yi Zhen was indeed planning to go to the southwest.That being the case, some things necessary for the journey must be prepared.Even if Yi Zhen himself never cared about these little things, the people below will always take care of everything for him.

Qin Shu thought for a while, lowered his head and rummaged in the carriage for a while, and finally found some medicine bottles in a small draw.The southwestern area is full of ailments, and deworming and detoxifying drugs are essential.Qin Shu opened them one by one, looked at them, and quickly picked out a box of ointment, and gave Xu Ji to apply it on his body.Liang Xiao sat beside him and obediently helped.

Yi Zhen turned around and saw him, showing a slightly surprised expression, obviously even he himself didn't know there was such a thing in his luggage.Feeling a little embarrassed, I opened my mouth a few times, as if trying to distinguish a few words.

The ointment was very effective, and the red envelopes on Xu Ji's body quickly dissipated, and he no longer wanted to stretch out his hand to scratch it all the time, so he only hummed coquettishly from time to time, asking Qin Shu to blow him off.

Seeing him calm down, Qin Shu was obviously much more relaxed, thinking that this person would only be in a hurry, and he didn't know how to use the medicine for the child, and made Xu Ji uncomfortable for so long without even leaving a reliable servant , running around with Xu Ji alone like this, I somehow felt a little inexplicably angry in my heart, just in time to meet Yi Zhen's flickering eyes.At this moment, he didn't need to be as careful as before to be on guard against concealment, he had risked everything, and he had nothing to be afraid of Yi Zhen, so he gave him a hard look.

Feeling guilty, Yi Zhen swallowed the explanation that came out of his mouth.He saw that Qin Shu couldn't ignore Xu Ji's disturbance of his begging to no avail, so he wisely didn't bother him, and just let Xu Jilai act like a spoiled child by his side.

Xu Ji felt much more comfortable, but he still clung to him and insisted that he hug him.With some energy, he began to chatter endlessly, asking Qin Shu to go with them all the way, but seeing that Qin Shu still refused to agree.

He couldn't help being anxious, and his eyes widened: "You have already accepted my family's money, so what if you regret it?"

Qin Shu was slightly taken aback, and looked at Yi Zhen: "Part of the money has been used, and I will pay you back slowly in the future."

"Using this method is a last resort, and it's not to blackmail you. Mine and yours are not the same, you can use it as you like, why bother to act like this." Yi Zhen glared at Xu Ji, listening to his tone Being so indifferent and unfamiliar, I also felt sad in my heart, and I couldn't help showing something on my face.

Qin Shu's face darkened. What he said, it was really impossible not to meet him, whether it was an outsider or someone else.He just pretended not to see his somewhat sad expression.Turning her head to look out of the car window, she said softly, "If I say I will pay you back, I will definitely pay you back."

Xu Ji quit, and Yi Zhen was afraid that Qin Shu would be embarrassed by talking about the money, so he secretly gave him a hard look.The little guy changed his mind and said: "The store also took a lot of silver from us as a deposit, and agreed to let you go with us. If you quit now, I will settle the score with him! I want him to look good!"

Yi Zhen hurriedly looked at Qin Shu's expression, and said with a dry smile, "Xiao Ji just said casually that he wanted you to come out for a walk. Don't listen to his nonsense, you won't trouble the store."

"I will trouble him, I must!" Xu Ji clenched his fists and said vicious words in his mouth, but his expression seemed to be bullied, and he puffed his face and pouted whether he wanted to cry or not. He looked at Qin Shu with his eyes wide open.There was a taste of demonstration, and there was a little worry in his eyes, for fear that he would still refuse.

Qin Shu didn't like him a long time ago, but Liang Xiao couldn't bear to see it. He first went to pull Xu Ji's sleeve, but Xu Ji sniffed and pushed him away. The man's situation is very clear. He knows that the money is not a small amount, and it has indeed been used up a lot.Although Yi Zhen said it didn't matter, but the education he had received since he was a child, in his opinion, it is still a very bad thing to owe others, but he can't pay it back for a while, which makes him feel very uncomfortable.This child is well-behaved, after much deliberation, he looked around, then quietly tugged on Qin Shu's clothes, and begged softly: "Uncle Qin, why don't we go, our house has already been withdrawn, if we go back now ..."

Although Yi Zhen was impatient, he also knew that his interruption would only make Qin Shu's attitude more determined, so he had to listen patiently and listen with his ears up.Hearing that Liang Xiao was also begging for mercy in this way, I wished I could hug this good boy and give him a big kiss, but on the surface, he didn't show any signs of it.

Sure enough, Qin Shu looked down at Liang Xiao, thought for a moment, then turned around and asked Xu Ji, "Are you not itchy anymore?"

Xu Ji touched his face, felt that the bag had loosened a lot, and the itching was no longer so uncomfortable, so he nodded: "Yes."

"Then there's no need to go to the doctor. Where are we going now?"

Yi Zhen was stunned for a moment, overjoyed in his heart, but he couldn't believe it, and looked back at him cautiously: "Xiaoshu, have you changed your mind? You don't insist on going back?"

"If you want, I'd love to go back." Qin Shu said coldly, he was looking down at Xu Ji cheerfully crawling on top of him, but he couldn't see his expression clearly.

Yi Zhen was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, he repeatedly shook his head in denial.

He was about to turn the carriage around, but was stopped by Qin Shu. He put back the ointment used to relieve Xu Ji's itching, and said in a flat voice, "Since we are almost in town, let's go buy some things we need first."

"Actually, we are well prepared, we have everything in the car." Yi Zhen looked around with some guilt. "I really prepared everything, I just forgot about it for a while."

Qin Shu didn't bother to talk nonsense with him: "Buy a horse. I'll ride a horse."

Yi Zhen naturally agreed, but Xu Ji was the only one who was not reconciled: "Why, don't we already have a carriage? The carriage is so wide, enough to fit in! Why buy a horse?"

"Buy a horse." Qin Shu didn't say much, "If you live in the west, there are some roads where the carriage will not be able to travel. The roads are not very peaceful. Is Hou Ye going to bring a few more people? Besides, you know Hou Ye Is it the way? Or, you just thought you were going to visit the mountains and rivers?"

As soon as these words came out, both father and son seemed to be silent for a while.They glanced at each other, and then turned their heads to look at Qin Shu eagerly. Their expressions were undoubtedly clearly written. In the two people's minds, this trip was probably similar to traveling in mountains and rivers.

Qin Shu felt a throbbing pain in his forehead, and really didn't want to pay any attention to these two people.I checked all the things in the compartment by myself, and listed out what needs to be prepared.As he said, "I should have prepared things for the queen mother's birthday. Why did I wait until now to prepare them? If Hou Ye wants to find someone for entertainment, it is better to get materials nearby. As long as Hou Ye is willing to pay, it doesn't have to be so far away." The place."

"No, no. I'm going to send it to the queen mother." Xu Ji quickly argued. "It's my gift."

"Meng Zhang and Miss Li are married, and you yourself know that the relationship between the two of them and you is unusual. I'm afraid that you will live there all the time, and meeting each other will be a bit embarrassing, so I want you to come out to relax..." But Yi Zhen suddenly interrupted the conversation. Facing Qin Shu's suspicious eyes, he hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded: "Yes, I did some tricks in the middle. I won't hide it from you, sooner or later you will To know."

When he said this, he kept watching Qin Shu's expression carefully.

Qin Shu was silent. He vaguely felt that this matter was a bit strange, but Meng Zhang felt like a big mountain against him. While letting him rely on it, it gradually oppressed him. At that time, he did not realize that The strangeness of the clues, but this kind of thing is actually what he secretly hoped for in his heart, but he was suppressed by the joy that he had been expecting for a long time.In this matter, Yi Zhen was the one who started the cocoon, so he was an accomplice who was happy to see it happen, and he couldn't accuse anything righteously.

Hearing these words now, seems a little unexpected, but also seems to have been expected.He was in a daze for a while, but in the end he wasn't as angry as Yi Zhen expected, he was a little dazed, and said softly as if talking to himself: "I'm really sorry for him."

Instead, Yi Zhen was taken aback, and shook his head quickly: "I am the one who did this, how could you be the one who let him down..." Qin Shu was not interested in talking to him, and put down the car curtain with a calm expression.It also blocked his next words, Yi Zhen thought for a while, and didn't bother him for the time being, so he could only obediently drive the car.He really felt that what Qin Shu said was reasonable, and it would be great if there was a coachman in this situation.

In the car, Qin Shu was a little distracted, Liang Xiaoping was obedient when he came, and seeing him thinking about something, he sat quietly and obediently.Xu Ji imitated the example, and let his mouth stop for a while.He has a temperament that likes to move but doesn't like to be quiet. He didn't speak for a while, but he just felt sleepy. He was attached to Qin Shu's embrace, reluctant to sleep, and kept rubbing his eyes in Qin Shu's embrace.In the end, it was Qin Shu who let him sleep on his feet, and then he was willing to go to the couch, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Qin Shu stared at his sleeping eyebrows with complicated emotions, silently watched for a while, and finally calmed down.

After an unknown amount of time, the carriage stopped outside, and Yi Zhen opened the curtain to come in. First, he glanced left and right, and stretched out his hand to hug Liang Xiao.Qin Shu was taken aback, and instinctively wanted to reach out to stop him, but Xu Ji held him down and couldn't get up. Looking around, it turned out that Liang Xiao was leaning against the wall of the car, and fell asleep at some point.

Yi Zhen carefully carried him over and put him in the bed, sleeping side by side with Xu Ji, took another blanket and covered the two children.

"Usually at this time of noon, Xiao Ji will sleep for a while." After doing this, he leaned over and carefully looked at the sleeping faces of the two children, the expressions on the faces were gentle and satisfied.He smiled softly, stretched out his finger and rubbed the child's cheek, and his voice was filled with sincere joy: "I didn't expect Xiaoxiao to be like this. This child is really like you. At that time, only Xiao Ji was by my side. You can be found in him, but this child is like no one else. However, he looks really good like this, better than anyone else..."

He was too close to him, Qin Shu felt a little uncomfortable, and wanted him to get away.He raised his eyes to see the expression on his face, but hesitated.This person is roughly the same as before, but he looks much older.Thinking about it, it is said that they are all people in their [-]s and [-]s, so they should be more stable.It's just that he is so gentle, kind, generous and deep, completely like a father's expression, but he has never seen it before.I couldn't help but feel a little dazed for a while.

This made him inexplicably uneasy, as if a place in his heart that was originally extremely solid had collapsed silently.However, in his heart, the bad impression of this person is really deep-rooted, and there is no way to connect with the fatherly man in front of him.Hearing Yi Zhen mention Xu Ji's appearance, he couldn't help but said: "Why, didn't Hou Ye suspect whose flesh and blood he is?"

"Little Shu!" Yi Zhen raised his head when he heard the sound. He was afraid of waking up the child who had just woken up, so he lowered his voice very low, but he could still hear the suppressed pain in it. "I was the one who wronged you back then. I have no complaints if I want to hate you. He is just a child, and it is your child. Why do you treat him like this?"

In fact, Qin Shu understands what he said, but he just can't help it. The resentment and pain of these many years cannot be vented. Even if Yi Zhen appeared in front of him with a gesture of reforming his past, he would still be depressed. , I couldn't help but stab him every chance I got.

Right now, I could faintly feel the suppressed anger and unhappiness in Yi Zhen's voice.He just smiled slightly at Yi Zhen: "If you don't want me to treat him like this, Lord Hou should never bring him in front of me."

He looked at Yi Zhen with an expression as if he had been stabbed hard by something sharp, but his heart seemed to be numb, but he didn't feel how happy stabbing this person made him, but he was a little dazed and stunned. For a moment, he seemed to have forgotten what he was going to say next.

Yi Zhen gave in first, and lowered his head to tuck the corners of the two children.He took out some dry food, snacks and the like.He said in a muffled voice: "Just now I was only focused on talking and went the wrong way. Fortunately, there is also a town in front, but the road is farther away, so I can go there to buy some. There are only dim sum here. You should eat some as cushions until you reach the town. Let's eat later."

He held the snack in his hand and held it stubbornly in front of him.Qin Shu hesitated for a while, but unexpectedly took it over.Yi Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, and handed over the kettle graciously.He put away the rest of the snacks, but he only ate dry food. Seeing Qin Shu looking at him, he explained: "Xiao Ji wakes up every day, and always wants to eat some snacks. It's hot here, and I'm afraid it will be bad after a long time. I don’t bring much in total, he has a tricky mouth, and he’s not used to eating anything else, I’ll keep the rest for him, besides, I don’t like sweets, and only you and Xiaoji like sweet things.”

He looked at Liang Xiao, and saw the scene in front of him when the child bought a pack of crispy candy with a few copper coins and happily handed it to Qin Shu, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly: "And Liang Xiao also likes... ..."

Hearing what he said, Qin Shu lost his appetite. He remembered that when Xu Ji came to squat at home every day, he was so excited that he refused to calm down for a while, but he didn't want to sleep at noon.And every time it was late, he still lingered and refused to leave, insisting on having someone send him off after dinner.He doesn't pay so much attention to everyday meals. Doesn't he eat green vegetables and cabbage as well, which shows that stinky problems are all indulged.Qin Shu snorted lightly and said, "It's not all because you got used to it!"

Yi Zhen smiled noncommittally, but saw Qin Shu put the snack back into his hand, and went to get the dry food with his hand, not waiting for him to be surprised.Qin Shu said lightly: "A lot of things are subject to change. I don't like sweet things now, and it may not be the same as before."

Yi Zhen remained silent, pretending that he didn't hear the hidden meaning in his words, he picked up one and put it in his mouth to taste it, then put away the rest and kept it for Liang Xiao.
