wow.

Several bamboos fell down.Xie Qiu used rattan ropes to wrap around the fence not far away, and just after the knot was tied, he heard several bamboos of even thickness and length rolled over from his feet.

Bending down to pick up a few bamboos, hold them with one hand, and hold the fence with the other hand, and continue to wind the rattan ropes around the new bamboos.

In less than two days, the new fence was completed.

Bai Heng went to the town to buy some seeds and a hoe.After loosening the soil, Xie Qiu squatted on the ground and pulled the wet mud to plant a few rows of sweet potatoes.

"Here, that's all right." Bai Heng patted the ashes on his hands. Winter came and spring came, and some wild flowers were already in bud. He flew up to the meadow on the top of the mountain, and picked a few bunches of fragrant flowers to decorate the fence and the gate. "It's like a place where people live."

With a smile in his eyes, Xie Qiu pointed to the remaining pile of bamboo and asked, "I cut too much, what should I do with these?"

"This is simple, make some gadgets and sell them in the town."

Xie Qiu's smile faded.

Bai Heng handed some bamboos to him: "Come on, sharpen both ends. The money is almost gone, and I still want to eat a lot of food at the bottom of the mountain. Let's make more money and then go eat, okay?"

"……it is good."

Xie Qiu replied gracefully.Holding the bamboo with onion-like fingers, he sat aside and began to peel it.

Bai Heng made some beautiful bamboo chairs, and the leftovers made some beautiful cups and wine spoons.

Xie Qiu rubbed the pair of bamboo cups with his fingertips, his eyes glowed softly: "Your craftsmanship is quite good."

"You like it? Keep it if you like it."

"Well, then I'll keep it." Xie Qiu took the two bamboo cups back into the bamboo house and put them on the empty table.Before leaving, he stretched out his hand and stroked the mouth of the cup.

After three or four months.Xie Qiu has gone down the mountain more than once, ever since he wept embarrassingly in front of Bai Heng that night.The depression and melancholy deep in my heart seemed to have found an outlet.

That day, Bai Heng guarded him under the green tiles and white walls until very late, when the moon was setting in the west, he carried him back to the bamboo house.

Xie Qiu cried so hard that he had no strength left and fell asleep on his back.

In eight years, it seemed like he hadn't slept so deeply for a long time.

A night without dreams.

After that collapse, he finally came out of the long dark night.He would also follow Bai Heng to the town, often to buy some interesting things or eat food - Bai Heng seemed to like these very much.

The family's money quickly ran out.Fortunately, he is also diligent, and in three or two days he can find ways to chop firewood, catch fish, and exchange for some money.

Xie Qiu's life became more lively with this person's company.

Work at sunrise, and rest at sunset.

This is a peaceful day like never before.

During the Qingming Festival, there are many rains.

Xie Qiu began to fast and sweep graves again. Every year at this time Xie Qiu would be extraordinarily silent, but this year was much better than previous years.

Because there is one more person beside him.

He pulled Bai Heng to kneel in front of the master's grave, and said softly: "Master, from now on, Xiao Qiu will be fine. He will definitely live up to the high expectations placed in the past."

He bent down and kowtowed, but found that the people beside him also bowed down.

Bai Heng kowtowed three times in a row, and said: "You guys have raised Xiao Qiu to be such a good boy."

Xie Qiu had a sore nose, and turned his face away almost invisibly.

***

in town.

Bai Heng said he wanted to exchange for the peach blossom wine in the old restaurant on the East Street, and rescued Xie Qiu to guard the stall alone.

He was a little at a loss, every time he went to town, Bai Heng would follow him every step of the way.

As Bai Heng expected, Xie Qiu's expression was slightly stagnant, and then he nodded and agreed.

Xie Qiu's temperament has been like this since he was a child.

He doesn't like to rely on others, and rarely shows his true emotions.At the age of fifteen or sixteen, he was too independent.

Except for the time after learning about Mo Jinran's ascension, he couldn't help but collapse.

I haven't seen him have any other mood swings.We have been together for nearly half a year, and I think he is very easy to talk to.

Neither ask nor refuse.

Bai Heng hid on the second floor of the teahouse, leaning on the fence and looking at the small stall diagonally opposite.

He served a cup of hot tea in his hand until it was cold.

Xie Qiu occasionally looks around in a panic—mostly because of listening.But there are no other excessively uncomfortable actions.

As the sun sets, the bustling streets gradually become deserted.

Bai Heng felt relieved and was about to go downstairs to take him home.

Que saw a little girl squatting by the side of the stall, pointing to some items and asked, "Brother, how do you sell this?"

"A hanging copper coin." Xie Qiu smiled slightly.

"What about this one?"

"Half hanging."

"You can't see, how do you know what I picked up." The girl asked jokingly.

"There is a voice." Xie Qiu pursed his lips and drooped his eyes. In fact, it was just a habitual movement, but he seemed a little disappointed.

"Don't be sad, I'm joking." The girl took his hand.Stuffing a piece of gold into his warm palm, "I bought all of these. You still have more to sell in the future, go to the Tianzi Restaurant at No. 17 on the East Street to find me."

Xie Qiu withdrew his hand, only then realized that he was being pitied.

Can't help but smile: "Little girl, it won't take so much to buy all these things. Thank you for your kindness. I can't accept this."

The girl thought that this little blind man was quite arrogant.He lowered his head and got closer, looking carefully at his blind eyes.

His eyes were empty and without light.A real blind man.

It's a pity that he was born with such a good appearance and such a young age.

"How about this, you go to the restaurant, I'll find you a job, not tired, earn more than you..."

"No need, thank you. You are a kind girl, and you will be rewarded." Xie Qiu stuffed half an ingot of gold back into the girl's hand, and the girl forced it back into his hand.

"There is no reason to return the things I gave away."

Xie Qiu looked distressed, and after a while, remembering that the girl mentioned the restaurant, he hurriedly asked: "Is the young lady the young owner of No. [-] restaurant in Dongjie?"

"Hmph, you have some good eyesight."

Xie Qiu smiled lightly: "Why don't you give me two jars of peach blossom wine. My friend likes your wine very much."

"Your friend has really bad taste." The little girl looked around, "You have friends, why are you left here alone."

"He has something."

"Okay. Pack your things and take them back, you, follow me." The first sentence was to the two followers behind him, and the last sentence was to Xie Qiu.

He even grabbed Xie Qiu's hand.

Originally, Xie Qiu wanted to struggle, but thought that Bai Heng would also be drinking in that restaurant, so it would be good to go there.

Then he staggered along with her pull.

Bai Heng rushed out of the teahouse in a hurry, only to see that the stalls had been closed and no one else had disappeared.With a glance, he saw that it was picked up by a beautiful girl of fifteen or sixteen years old.

His brows were slightly wrinkled.

How could I forget, his master has always had a lot of peach blossoms, and he is very attractive to girls.

In the restaurant, Xie Qiu was pushed into the elegant hall.

A glass of wine is placed in front of him.

"Here, let's drink. It's a gift for you, and you won't be charged." The girl put on a luxurious look.

"This... the drinker is my friend..."

"Hey, making friends out of thin air, right? I understand. I just want to take some more back home. Go get two jars and bring them back to him."

Xie Qiu smiled awkwardly, the wine had been pushed in front of him.

The aroma of the wine is rich but not strong, and it can be regarded as a good wine in the world.No wonder it's so expensive, and I don't know if Bai Heng's little money is enough for a few sips.

"I don't drink." Xie Qiu waved his hand and pushed the wine away, "I appreciate the girl's kindness, it's getting late, I have to find my friend, and go home soon..."

"Go home, where is your home. I'll see you off."

"Walk along the official road to the northwest for more than ten miles, and you will arrive after climbing two mountains..."

"..."

The girl had a drink by herself and said, "Then you should stay for one night first."

Xie Qiu stood up, and the waiter just served two jugs of wine.He also felt a little suspicious in the atmosphere, so he was embarrassed to take it, so he cupped his fists and said: "I interrupted this time, I think I'd better leave now."

I saw the little girl put down the wine glass with a bang.With a somewhat angry look, he asked someone to close the door and stop him inside.

"Why are you so ignorant of good and evil. I can't even buy you a glass of wine. You are in such a hurry to leave?"

Xie Qiu is not good at dealing with these things, so he just shook his head and said, "Sorry."

"Little blind man. I have no ill intentions towards you." The little girl pulled him, pressed his shoulders to make him sit down, "I just...just..."

That's half a day.

His face turned a little red.

"I fell in love with you the first time I saw you."

She said it boldly.

"Don't worry, stay with me, I won't let you go back to the mountains to suffer. I'm rich, don't be afraid of being laughed at for your bad eyes, I will find the best doctor to treat you..."

The glass was knocked down, Xie Qiu hurriedly wiped the wine on the table and apologized: "Sorry, I didn't think you were a bad person. It's just that I really have to leave."

Hmph, I'm quite shy.

The little girl made up her mind and grabbed Xie Qiu's hand: "I was born in August of Xin Wei Nian, how old are you?"

"November of the Xinwei Year..." Xie Qiu finished his answer slowly, then pulled his hand back as if thinking of something, "I..."

"Ah, you're three months younger than me."

The little girl rejoiced, and pushed the wine towards him indifferently, "Drink it, it's okay to be friends first."

Xie Qiu couldn't refuse, so he had to have a drink first.

But this girl is very good at persuading people to drink.One cup after another.

Xie Qiu got dizzy after drinking so much.

"What's your name."

The girl was about to call, and finally started to talk.

"Thanks, Xie Qiu..."

"what for."

"I just planted sweet potatoes today...it's very sweet. In autumn, I can...you can eat it..."

Ah, so cute.

"Have you ever promised a kiss?"

"No, never..."

Xie Qiu's cheeks were flushed, and his whole body smelled of sweet wine. He staggered to stand up, but his feet were a little weak.After a lot of effort, he stood up a little and fell back down.

"Then, what do you like..."

"High, high..."

Why so high.

"Hands are wide..."

Incredible.

"It's very strong...can, can chop bamboo..."

The girl chuckled and pinched his face: "Don't worry, stay with me, you will never have to chop..."

"I'm not with you..."

Xie Qiu finally staggered to his feet.

"I have someone I like."
