The world is heavy and late

Chapter 70
Xia Qing was very upset today, because it was clearly agreed to go out of the palace together.

But when it came time to leave the palace, she didn't wait for Xu Zhong.

So she walked out of the palace step by step under the worried eyes of Gu Weiyun and Xiang Gonggong.

She really decided not to pay attention to Xu Zhong again.

Xia Qing's heart was sour, she kept complaining about Xu Zhong, and kept pitying herself, which was a big inner drama.

Thinking about it made me want to cry even more, because she didn't know the way at all.

She clearly agreed to go out of the palace together, didn't she just want to go out of the palace to see their house, and then stay with him for a while?

It turned out he didn't show up at all.

hum.

Xia Qing stood on the wide palace road outside the palace city. Looking around, there was no one there, so she could only walk along the palace road step by step. Her emotions also reached the peak, the tip of her nose was red, and her mouth was always flattened.

After walking for a while, seeing that they were gradually going out of the range of Miyagi, a person came up to him and said, "It's Miss Xia Qing."

Xia Qing was startled, looked up, and found a carriage quietly parked in front of the left.

At this time, the man said: "My lord said that the carriage can only stop here at most, and let the little one come to pick up Miss Xia Qing."

Xia Qing murmured in his heart: Couldn't he pick her up by himself?

But her mood has improved a lot all of a sudden, but it's just a little hypocritical.

She took three steps at a time, and slowly moved to the front of the carriage, and a hand was stretched out from the carriage to support her.

In fact, she really wanted to refuse, but she really wanted to throw herself into his arms and act like a baby, so she hesitated before handing him over.

But after going up, they separated immediately, hugged their arms around their chests, and said with a cold snort: "Master Xu is becoming more and more afraid to see people now."

Xu Zhong glanced at Xia Qing and breathed a sigh of relief. The little ancestor was finally willing to talk to him. He really didn't know how to offend him.

He shook his head with a gentle smile, feeling like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old young man who had just begun to fall in love.

He reached out and touched Xia Qing's head directly: "Can I have breakfast?"

Xia Qing felt the warm and dry touch on his palm, and she liked it as always.

So she said, "Yes, what about you?"

Xu Zhong said: "It's also used."

The boy outside the door pursed his mouth when he heard it, waiting here early in the morning, can he still have breakfast?

Xia Qing really couldn't refuse a gentle man, she slowly leaned into his arms, listening to his thumping heartbeat.

Xu Zhong also gradually got used to this kind of intimate physical contact.

He protected Xia Qing with his hands, preventing her from being shaken by the bumps of the carriage.

In fact, this was Xia Qing's first time making a carriage, but she was not curious about the outside world at all, she just wanted to lean in Xu Zhong's arms, and then fell asleep in a daze.

Xu Zhong looked at Xia Qing whose eyes were slowly closing, and smiled softly. Xia Qing was becoming more and more able to act like a baby with himself, which is very good.

When Xia Qing opened his eyes, he found that the carriage had stopped.

When she got out of the car, she found that there were apricot flowers all around, clusters blooming on the branches, pink and white, when the wind blows, the petals dance with the wind, even the bottom is covered with a layer of pink and white, and the feet are covered with pink and white. It is soft feel.

Xia Qing turned her head in shock and asked, "Where is this?"

Looking at Xia Qing's slightly opened eyes, he smiled and said, "At the foot of the back mountain of Huguo Temple."

He took two steps forward, took Xia Qing's hand and walked forward step by step: "The peach blossoms in Huguo Temple are very famous, I wanted to take you to see it, but I heard it casually on the road, At the foot of the back mountain of Huguo Temple, there is a grove of apricot blossoms, which bloom just in time, and are more gorgeous than the peach blossoms waiting to bloom on the mountain."

As he spoke, he turned his head, although he still had a serious face, but his eyes were soft, he gently took the falling apricot blossoms from her head and said:

"I think you probably like it here. There are few people and you don't have to climb mountains."

Seeing such a gentle Xu Zhongxin, Xia Qing couldn't help but put her toe on his lips.

Xu Zhong first looked around, and then instantly changed back to a serious face. Xia Qing didn't like to look, so he said directly:

"Flower beauties are more beautiful. I only like to kiss my father-in-law in this kind of place. I don't like looking at flowers, and I can't eat them."

Looking at Xu Zhong's choked expression, Xia Qing felt very happy, so he strode towards the apricot forest.

Xu Zhong had a headache, he really felt as if he was getting old, and he couldn't keep up with Xia Qing's escape.

Xia Qing and Xu Zhong didn't stay in this apricot forest for too long.

Because Xia Qing was telling the truth, she didn't like going out to play very much.

She is now afraid to measure the land with her feet.

Although Xinghualin is really beautiful, she was stunned when she saw it.

When Xia Qing walked into the city, his mood gradually fell.

Her gaze unconsciously fell on the gate of the city through the carriage, and saw many refugees coming from other places, gathered together in piles.

This year's harvest is not good, and many places have to leave their hometowns, but this is actually just a year of ordinary disasters, and there are not any major disasters in various places, and there is no war.

Xia Qing looked outside with some pity. She saw all the wonderland and devastation in one day.

Those people were ragged, covered in dust and mud, and the shoes on their feet were also tattered. She even saw that many people were barefoot.

But the most shocking thing is not these, but the shape of each of them, thin and abnormal, their faces are also full of numbness, and there is no desire for future life in their eyes.

But when someone accidentally touched it, he immediately looked over vigilantly, his eyes were like knives.

She looked at this group of refugees who had very few old people and women, yes, very few, the old people couldn't insist on coming here for a long time, women...

Xu Zhong also looked at the scene in front of him, his eyes filled with grief.

He felt sad for the people of the world, and for the fact that he did not become a person who helped the world and saved the people after all.

He also wanted to be a person who would make people in the world eat enough and clothe themselves, but seeing this scene now, how could he feel better.

He spends all day in the court, just having a big wish.

Suddenly a scream attracted the attention of both of them.

They saw a sallow and thin girl who seemed to be only five or six years old holding a woman's hand, shouting in a mournful voice, "Mother, mother, don't."

Behind the little girl was a young man with a few strong men. He said impatiently: "Will you sell it or not? If you don't sell it, you can go. You girl is not worth a lot of money."

When the woman heard this, she immediately let go of the little girl's hand and said: "Sell, sell, sell, Sanniang, your brother is sick, please help him, he can't survive without his mother."

The woman also had tears in her eyes, but she didn't dare to reach out to hold the little girl again.

The little girl screamed like this and was carried by the strong man on his shoulders and walked towards the door.

Xia Qing put down the curtain and said softly to Xu Zhong: "Let's go."

Xu Zhong also lowered the curtain.

The two leaned against the car quietly, neither of them spoke.

Until he entered the city, Xia Qing felt that he could still hear the little girl's cries, beatings and scolding.

No, Xia Qing opened his eyes and was sure it was the little girl crying beside him, so he said to the boy, "Stop."

Xu Zhong got out of the car first, then reached out to help Xia Qing get off.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Xia Qing said, "Stop."

A strong man shouted: "Don't worry about this business."

The girl took a look at Xu Zhong's clothes, which were rare. Although the woman looked ordinary, she had an aura of temperament all over her body, so she stepped forward and smiled and said: "Masters and ladies don't know, this girl is too disobedient, little one." It was because I was afraid of disturbing others that I reprimanded her a few times."

Xia Qing glanced at him coldly and said, "I'm short of a maid, how much does she want?"

The boy turned his eyes and said: "This little girl was actually bought by the little ones at a huge price. Madam will give you a starting price of ten taels, and we won't earn you a cent."

If they hadn't seen him buying the little girl with a tael of silver outside the door, they would have been fooled by his face.

Xia Qing just looked at it silently, and Xu Zhong said beside him, "I've figured out how much I want."

Xu Zhong's aura was not comparable to Xia Qing's calm majesty, Xu Zhong's majesty was stained with blood.

The child felt a little regretful in his heart, and sweat kept oozing from his forehead, this...

He smiled carefully and said: "Then the master thinks..."

Xia Qing said: "One tael, just one tael."

Yaren's complexion is a bit ugly, so they have made a trip for nothing, who would like this job.

Yaren turned to Xia Qing with a bitter face and said, "Ma'am, we are really going to lose money in one or two."

Xia Qing looked at him coldly and said, "Didn't you buy it for one tael? You don't want to make money from me, so is there any problem if I buy it for one tael?"

Yaren's face froze, knowing that this was what happened just now and someone saw it, and wanted to get angry, but he glanced at Xu Zhong next to him and still didn't dare to say anything, and nodded in agreement.

Xia Qing looked at the book in front of her and the crying little girl in front of her. She took her hand, put the book in the little girl's hand and said, "Take it, but don't lose it."

Then he stood up and said to Xu Zhong, "Eunuch, leave her behind."

Xu Zhong looked at Xia Qing and nodded.
