[Red Mansion] Ronghua Road of Mrs. Hou's Mansion

Gu Xingchi was a martial arts practitioner, and his health was always good, so he recovered from his injuries fairly well, at least he was able to get out of bed and walk around.

One autumn rain and one cold, last night it rained lightly all night, today the weather is already clear, but it seems to be cooler.

Gu Xingchi sat on the threshold, looking at the figure in front of him through the sparse light and shadow, he felt that the man was weak and slender, dressed in commoner clothes, but seemed to be shining with boundless elegance, it was obviously an ordinary movement, but it made people move Do not open your eyes.

Sister Feng didn't notice that someone was watching her, she just concentrated on washing clothes with Ms. Xu.This was her first time washing clothes, and she was really in a hurry, which made Ms. Xu laugh frequently.

"Sister Wang, why don't I wash it for you." Miss Xu really couldn't stand it anymore.

Sister Feng smiled and refused, "This kind of thing is so troublesome to you."

During the time she lived in the Xu family, the family didn't let her do anything. She didn't know how to do it, and naturally she wouldn't insist.But they are not servants of the royal family, so washing clothes is naturally not a labor for them, and besides, it's not just her own clothes.

Although Sister Feng looks gentle and gentle, her decision cannot be changed, and Ms. Xu can only let her go.

Xu Yong wiped his sweat and asked, "What do you plan to do in the future, Miss? Do you want to report to the police, capture the robbers, and take back your property?"

Sister Feng shook her head and said, "I've already discussed this matter with my elder brother, and I don't intend to report it to the officials."

"Why?" Miss Xu asked in surprise.

Sister Feng smiled helplessly: "Even if you report to the official, it will be difficult to find it back. Why bother?"

Miss Xu frowned, "That's all your belongings, and now it's all gone, do you really not care?"

"Wealth and prosperity are fleeting, and it is God's will to lose them, as long as people are alive. If we don't have those extraneous things, maybe we won't have this catastrophe."

Xu Yong touched his head, and said with a naive smile: "Miss Wang said that life is the most important thing. If the girl has nowhere to live, you can...you can stay here." Speaking of this, He hurriedly said, "I mean, although we don't have the prosperity and wealth here, it is very safe. The people here are warm and simple, there are no thieves or robbers... the girl will definitely be very happy living here. "

Sister Feng smiled, "Thank you Brother Xu for your kindness." But she didn't agree or disagree.

However, he was right in saying that these days living here were indeed the most relaxed and carefree time she had ever lived.

Xu Yong didn't seem to hear the refusal in her words, smiled foolishly, and went to work hard again.

Aunt Xu was doing needlework under the sun. Seeing this scene, she couldn't help shaking her head and sighing secretly.This silly boy, can't you see that the girl will leave sooner or later?Just now when he said those words, Miss Wang's elder brother's expression changed.

However, she didn't intend to remind him, lest he be sad.

In the evening, it began to rain again, and the dense rain weaved obliquely and fell lightly.

Gu Xing was too late to speak, so Sister Feng hurried out to collect the clothes.Just after entering the rain and fog, Xu Yong also chased him out. From Gu Xingchi's point of view, Xu Yong said something to Sister Feng. Sister Feng smiled sweetly, and then went to collect the clothes with Sister Feng. thing.

Gu Xingchi grinned, only to feel that the wound that had just grown had opened again.

As soon as Sister Feng returned to her room, she found Gu Xingchi standing up, bent over, covering the wound with one hand, looking for something.

Sister Feng stepped forward and said: "How many times have I told you, just tell me what you need, why are you messing around? When the wound is opened, I will trouble Aunt Xu and the doctor again."

Although it was a reproach, it was very kind and familiar to Gu Xingchi's ears.He vaguely remembered that when he was at home, he often heard the third aunt scolding the third uncle for not caring about his body and being clumsy, and at the same time concerned about whether he ate or not.Every time the third uncle just laughed and let the third aunt lose his temper at him, and when the third aunt had scolded enough, the third uncle went over to ask the third aunt if she calmed down, and tried to please the third aunt.I was bumped into by him several times, and I didn't feel ashamed, so I smiled and greeted him to have dinner together.

Occasionally he would also be envious, especially when he returned to the big room and looked at the empty courtyard, the feeling was even stronger.

Seeing him in a daze, Sister Feng asked suspiciously, "What are you thinking?"

With his hands behind his back, Gu Xingchi quietly put down the handle of the umbrella, "Your hair is wet."

Sister Feng stroked her hair, glanced at him, and said angrily, "No problem, I'll help you lie down first."

Gu Xingchi was happy in his heart, but said in his mouth: "Actually, my injury is much better, you don't have to be like this..."

Sister Feng glared at him, and he immediately shut up.

"We won't be staying here for a short time. I can leave only when your injury is healed." Sister Feng said lightly.

It seemed to be explaining why he had been so taken care of during this time.

Gu Xingchi's expression froze, and the little joy in his heart just now disappeared.

Sister Feng didn't notice the change in his mood, she silently folded his clothes and put them aside.

At this time, Aunt Xu, mother and son also came in, Xu Yong said with a smile: "Miss Wang, it was raining just now, I made ginger soup, and I will bring it to you later."

Sister Feng smiled and said, "It's just light rain. There's really no need to bother. Wang Xi is very sorry."

Xu Yong hurriedly said: "Don't bother, everyone has this."

"Thank you."

Seeing the two of them chatting happily, Gu Xingchi found it particularly dazzling.He looked at the darkening sky, raised his head and sighed, it's all right, why is it raining.

Time flies, and before you know it, another half month has passed, Gu Xingchi's injury has almost healed, he can walk, jump, and roll up his trouser legs to fish in the river.

Gu Xingchi took the last fish off the harpoon and threw it into the bucket. Sister Feng still found it unbelievable. She couldn't believe that a rich and precious Marquis could catch fish so skillfully.Although there is no luxurious clothes, the noble spirit has not been reduced by half, and every move is still so pleasing to the eye and the heart.

"Why do you do this?" Sister Feng asked curiously, "Do you still need to learn how to catch fish after all these years of traveling abroad?"

Gu Xingchi raised his lips, "If a person wants to survive anytime and anywhere, he should naturally be able to do everything."

Sister Feng looked him up and down suspiciously for a while, "Could it be that Hou Ye can do other things besides catching fish?"

Gu Xingchi lifted the wooden barrel and motioned for her to hold the harpoon.He smiled and said: "I know more, and the days will be long in the future, do you want to see and see?"

Sister Feng thought to herself that this man recovered from his injury and returned to his original nature, she sneered, "I can't wait for ordinary people to appreciate Hou Ye's demeanor, so let others see Hou Ye."

Back at Xu's house, Gu Xingchi and Xu Yong specially competed to see who could catch more fish. Unexpectedly, Gu Xingchi won. Miss Xu and Xu Yong looked at each other, and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

Miss Xu exclaimed, "I never thought that Big Brother Wang could catch fish, even better than Big Brother."

Gu Xingchi lit the fire and prepared to grill the fish.Hearing this, he raised his eyebrows proudly, "What's the matter, it's just a trivial matter."

This sentence successfully gained the little girl's admiring gaze.

Sister Feng: "..." Childish!

She couldn't help if she stayed here, so she went back to the house to talk to Aunt Xu, but she saw Aunt Xu holding a stack of books and papers to read.

Aunt Xu was fascinated, and she didn't realize it until Sister Feng approached her.

"Aunt Xu likes to copy Buddhist scriptures?" Sister Feng asked in amazement, "Just why is the handwriting red?"

Aunt Xu's smile is still kind, "I have nothing to do when I have nothing to do, copying Buddhist scriptures is also good for self-cultivation."

She sniffed lightly, as if there was a strange smell.She turned her head abruptly, "This is... blood classics, you used your own blood..."

Aunt Xu didn't hide anything, she nodded.

Sister Feng was puzzled, "Why did you do this, aren't you afraid of harming your body?"

Aunt Xu smiled indifferently, "I did a lot of mistakes when I was young, and I have a guilty conscience to survive to this day. Now I can only redeem my sins by copying some Buddhist scriptures."

After hearing this, Sister Feng was stunned for a long time without saying a word. She clearly thought she was an ordinary woman, but now she couldn't understand her.

"Although I don't know what wrong things you have done, but after so many years, what can't you let go of?"

Aunt Xu smiled and said: "You don't understand, the wrong things I did can't be undone in my life, and my sins can never be redeemed."

Sister Feng stopped talking.She has never experienced what happened to Aunt Xu, so naturally she can't empathize with her, and she can't blindly comfort her.

Aunt Xu patted her hand, "Aren't you going to leave soon?"

Sister Feng nodded, "Hou and I...my brother and I planned to bid farewell to you tomorrow."

Aunt Xu said with a smile: "You guys are so talented and beautiful. I'm afraid that silly boy will be sad after leaving."

Sister Feng was surprised, "Aunt Xu..."

Aunt Xu smiled lightly and said, "I knew from the first day you came here that the so-called brothers and sisters are just deceiving others."

Sister Feng stared blankly, doubting Aunt Xu for the first time, and suddenly felt that Aunt Xu had become much more mysterious. Upon closer inspection, it seemed that her whole temperament had changed.Indifferent, gentle, and quiet, as if she shouldn't be here.
