ordinary people's house
Chapter 100
Xiao Yunlang sat on the threshold, propping his chin with one hand. He sat from afternoon to dusk, and when night fell, he still couldn't wait for that person to come back.
Neighbor Sister-in-law Zuo came back from a visit to some relative's house. She was startled when she saw him. I'm waiting for you again."
Xiao Yunlang smiled, and Sister-in-law Zuo frowned and said, "It's so cold, how can you wait outside, come, come in with sister-in-law!"
Xiao Yunlang said in a low voice, "I don't know where he went."
"Where else can I go, isn't it just..." Sister-in-law Zuo didn't continue, she was already the age of Xiao Yunlang's mother, she pulled Xiao Yunlang up without any shyness, and patted him, "Go back to the house , I'll ask someone to bring you a bowl of hot soup."
Xiao Yunlang was a little hesitant, and Mrs. Zuo said, "Do you have to get sick from the cold?"
"I……"
"Listen to sister-in-law, go back and burn your feet, you don't care about that dead man!"
Xiao Yunlang lowered his head at a loss, his eye circles turned red quickly, seeing him like this, it would be hard for Mrs. Zuo to be angry, and sighed: "You are such a young and good-looking little man... oh, I won't talk about it."
Snow fell suddenly, Xiao Yunlang went back to the house, hoping that Lin Yulan would come home soon, if the snow freezes in a while, he must not fall down after drinking.
Xiao Yunlang was staring at the fire in a daze, until he heard the door being slammed hard, he shook in fright, and went out to open the door, the people outside the door were very strong, Xiao Yunlang was almost hit by the door when he opened the door valve, he stepped aside Go, Lin Yulan smelled of alcohol all over, her eyes were red, and she looked at him unexpectedly.
"……What you eat?"
Lin Yulan walked inside without saying a word, Xiao Yunlang stood there thinking for a while, went to the kitchen to cook noodles, but when he brought the noodles into the room, Lin Yulan was already snoring like thunder.
"Sir, go to bed after changing your clothes." Xiao Yunlang said.
The person on the bed didn't respond, Xiao Yunlang pushed him.
Lin Yulan opened her eyes, Xiao Yunlang said, "Eat something before going to bed."
"—get out!"
Xiao Yunlang was stunned for a moment, then continued: "I cooked a bowl of rotten noodles, you should fill your belly anyway, and I'll change your clothes for you."
"I told you to get out, don't you understand?"
"...But..." Xiao Yunlang looked at him sadly, "Let me help you change your clothes."
Lin Yulan turned over and pulled the quilt over to cover herself.
Xiao Yunlang never thought that he would have a day to worry about his livelihood, but when he saw the rice left in the vat, he had to start thinking about this issue. He doesn't do production and doesn't understand economics. For the past six months, Lin Yulan He also goes out to drink with money every day, and he is also a person who does not know how expensive money is. Those cronies coax him to take money, and Lin Yulan pays the bill every time they squander their wine and meat.
The snow has not stopped, it seems that it may fall until tomorrow, and there is not much firewood and carbon in the house. Xiao Yunlang sat for a while, finished a big bowl of noodles, and then returned to the bedroom carefully, found a small box, He backed out lightly again, he didn't know that Lin Yulan opened his eyes as soon as he left.
Inside the box were his remaining treasures, all belonging to his mother, Xiao Yunlang's eyes became moist, he immediately wiped his face with his sleeve, and held a piece of jade pendant tightly in his palm.
On the second day, Lin Yulan was hungover, Xiao Yunlang wrapped the jade pendant in a handkerchief, wrapped it in a thick cotton robe and went out. The heavy snow had not stopped, and the street was completely white.The cold wind came and went, and Xiao Yunlang was about to stop and stomp his feet as he walked. At this time, there were no pedestrians on the street, and Xiao Yunlang was still worried with his baby in his arms.
After a while, he walked to the biggest pawn shop on Qingyun Road, and found that it hadn't opened yet. Xiao Yunlang couldn't tell whether he was disappointed or glad, he stomped his feet again, put his hands together and let out a breath of heat, and rubbed his hands together. There was no one around, so he sat by the wall of the pawnshop. His hands were red from the cold, and his cheeks were numb from the cold. This was not the first time he had come to the pawnshop. What time does it open.
It is already the twelfth lunar month, the coldest time of the year, Xiao Yunlang's hands in his sleeves finally warmed up, and he stretched out his hands to protect his face, and when his hands were too cold, he retracted his hands into his sleeves again , back and forth a few times, his face finally turned red, at this time there was a drunken man on the corner of the street, staggered over with the support of two servants, Xiao Yunlang knew how many flower houses there were, He never took a look. When the man in rich clothes passed by Xiao Yunlang, he suddenly waved his servant's hand away, pointed at Xiao Yunlang and said, "Hey? Which family is this little gentleman? Could it be that he is waiting for you?" Brother me?"
Xiao Yunlang was startled and stood up all of a sudden.
"Hey, you were waiting at the door of the pawnshop early in the morning. Do you want to sell something?" The man eyed Xiao Yunlang lewdly, and wanted to reach out to pull him, "I don't think you have any good things all over your body. Could it be that you are here to sell something?" my own?"
The first 20 years of Xiao Yunlang's life was particularly precious, and he didn't learn to argue with others in the past six months. This is the first time he has encountered such a scene. If he was more aggressive, he could still swear a few words, but Xiao Yunlang just avoided it in fear. I staggered because of numbness in the soles of my feet.
The man and the two servants both laughed, and the man continued: "I think this young man is thin-skinned and tender. Could it be that your man doesn't want you, so you came to sell things. My brother loves you, so go with my brother." .”
Xiao Yunlang took another step back, his heart was beating violently, and his head ached from the anger of the people in front of him. He couldn't reveal his identity, for fear of dishonoring the Xiao family's reputation, but these people surrounded him, and he couldn't escape. At the moment of panic, Xiao Yunlang caught a glimpse of a group of people coming from the other side of the street, and he shouted: "Brother Li——"
As soon as the drunken dandy turned around, Xiao Yunlang somehow got the strength to push away the two servants and ran out.
The school lieutenant surnamed Li heard the voice and looked over. A dude forced a tender-faced young man into a corner. The young man couldn't see his face clearly, but the dude didn't look like a good thing. He thought his voice sounded familiar. But the man ran too fast, he didn't see the figure clearly, he just glanced coldly at the dude, and ordered: "Take it back to the yamen!"
"Hey? How dare you catch me! Do you know who I am?"
Captain Li said coldly: "It's best that you are the son of an official. During the filial piety period, you drink and have fun, and molested the common people in the street. If you have an official in your family, tell me, so I can tell our adults."
The dandy was a little drunk, but his mind was still a little sober, and he broke out in a cold sweat immediately, and hurriedly said: "Just now that is a thief who stole my things..."
Li Xiaowei didn't listen to him at all. When he got to the gate of the yamen, he suddenly paused and remembered who the trapped person was. He turned around and slapped him hard. The yelling continued, Li Xiaowei frowned fiercely, and when he entered the gate of the yamen and asked, he knew that the general had arrived.
He walked to the door and knocked lightly.
"Come in."
"Yes..." Lieutenant Li pushed open the door with difficulty, and saw that the officer was looking at several records of Habayashi Guard's manpower dispatching. He didn't look up, and asked indifferently: "What's wrong?"
Colonel Li was from the Xiao family army, had met the young master several times in the mansion, and knew a little about the young master's current situation, he hesitated for a while, and said: "General, today my subordinates arrested a person."
"Ah."
"He said his cousin is Li Xiangmin."
"Yes." Xiao Mulang was unmoved.
Captain Li looked at Xiao Mulang cautiously, and said in a low voice, "This subordinate saw him surround a young gentleman in the street to make... a show."
Xiao Mulang finally raised his eyes to look at him, Li Xiaowei mustered up his courage and said: "This subordinate thinks that person looks a little bit like the young master."
The pen in Xiao Mulang's hand broke with a "snap". He took a deep breath and looked straight at Captain Li, "Tell me from the beginning!"
"Yes!"
After listening to him, Xiao Mulang repeated: "Pawn shop?"
"……Yes."
Xiao Mulang leaned back on the back of the chair, closed his eyes, Captain Li waited for a while, Xiao Mulang sighed, and said: "Today Dulang is at the mansion, you ask someone to call him over and say I'm looking for him."
"My subordinate understands."
When Xiao Dulang came, he didn't know what the elder brother had ordered, and after he finished listening, he slapped the table and said angrily: "What is Li Xiangmin, he dare not speak in front of his father, that cousin is really brave big!"
"Du Lang, you don't have to worry about this matter. I want you to come to Nanluoxiang, and you will send a few hundred taels of silver."
"Okay!" Xiao Dulang agreed, then hesitated, "But elder brother, younger brother never asks us to come in, and never asks for our things..."
"Buy rice to buy diesel."
"Hey! I see. The one surnamed Li, brother, you can't let him go."
Xiao Mulang said lightly, "You don't have to worry."
Xiao Dulang bought a cart full of things and went to knock on the door. After waiting for a while, he heard a weak voice inside saying: "Who is it?"
Although Xiao Dulang is a man of eight feet, he is the most tender-hearted. He couldn't stop crying when he heard his younger brother's voice. He wiped his face, choked up and said, "It's me, second brother."
Xiao Yunlang paused, and opened the door a little.
Xiao Dulang felt distressed that he might have been frightened by what happened in the morning, Xiao Yunlang's face was still pale as expected, Xiao Dulang couldn't help but reached out and touched his younger brother's face, Xiao Yunlang didn't dodge.
Xiao Dulang forced a smile and said: "It's the twelfth lunar month, the second brother is here to give you some new year's goods early, why, don't you ask the second brother to come in?"
Xiao Yunlang lowered his head and said nothing.
Xiao Dulang said: "Second brother knows that you can't go on... We are close brothers, what do you have to say to me, can I not go in? You leave your things."
"……I do not want."
Xiao Dulang said: "Big Brother is Big Brother, I am me! Aren't you the best with Second Brother? Second Brother has never forced you to do anything, you are willing to stay here, and Second Brother will not force you to go back to the uncle's house, but Second brother can't just watch you suffer from cold and hunger, you are trying to dig out second brother's heart."
Xiao Yunlang wiped away his tears, and said tearfully: "I said before, I am no longer the son of the Xiao family, I am sorry to my father and elder brother, I cannot ask for your things."
"Don't you understand that elder brother regretted it a long time ago, elder brother shouldn't force you to reconcile, and daddy also...Yunlang, second brother please understand daddy, daddy is getting old, he misses you."
Xiao Yunlang bit his lower lip while weeping. He wanted to close the door, but Xiao Dulang refused. He tore the door open forcefully and asked the soldiers he brought to move things into the house. Xiao Yunlang wanted to stop him, but Xiao Dulang held his hand. The hand said angrily: "You are going to starve to death and freeze to death! You will make daddy, elder brother and me suffer forever! Xiao Yunlang, I beg you not to be so selfish! The Xiao family's rich clothes and fine food will not compare with Jingchuan if you can raise you until you are 16 years old. How many years has the Hou Mansion been!"
Neighbor Sister-in-law Zuo came back from a visit to some relative's house. She was startled when she saw him. I'm waiting for you again."
Xiao Yunlang smiled, and Sister-in-law Zuo frowned and said, "It's so cold, how can you wait outside, come, come in with sister-in-law!"
Xiao Yunlang said in a low voice, "I don't know where he went."
"Where else can I go, isn't it just..." Sister-in-law Zuo didn't continue, she was already the age of Xiao Yunlang's mother, she pulled Xiao Yunlang up without any shyness, and patted him, "Go back to the house , I'll ask someone to bring you a bowl of hot soup."
Xiao Yunlang was a little hesitant, and Mrs. Zuo said, "Do you have to get sick from the cold?"
"I……"
"Listen to sister-in-law, go back and burn your feet, you don't care about that dead man!"
