From the sword of the third master

Chapter 40 Her

"stop!"

Xie Xiaofeng had already been beaten so badly that his mouth was bleeding. At this time, Lao Miaozi suddenly rushed over from a distance, pushed away the triangular eyes, and blocked them with his body.

"Boss Liu, what did my brother do wrong, do you insist on beating him?"

The triangular eye stepped back several steps in a row, and saw that it was Lao Miaozi who made the shot, his expression changed.

"Hmph, this little brother is so blind that he ran to my place to collect things. Do you think he should be beaten?"

"Boss Liu, it's all a misunderstanding. My brother is working for the first time today. He may not be familiar with the terrain, and he may have made a mistake. I'm sorry, but I can assure you that nothing like this will happen in the future." Miaozi glanced at Xie Xiaofeng worriedly, turned around, and smiled reluctantly.

"What about my loss?"

Lao Miaozi took out some fine silver coins from his sleeve pocket, and hurriedly handed them over to him: "I'm sorry, Boss Liu, you have a lot of money, let's put it away first, and I'll pay for it."

"Okay, it's okay, let's not make an example." Triangle Eyes took the money resentfully, and weighed it twice.

"Thank you Boss Liu, goodbye..."

When the triangular eyes flew away, Lao Miaozi hurriedly helped Xie Xiaofeng up.

"Aji, are you alright?"

Xie Xiaofeng coughed twice, spat out the blood in his mouth: "I'm fine. Oh, the pancakes are fine, you can still eat them."

"You didn't fight back just now, so you just let him fight?"

"I said a long time ago that I won't fight." Xie Xiaofeng cleaned up the dust on the pancake, gently broke off a small piece, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it, as if nothing happened just now.

Seeing that his behavior was different from ordinary people, Lao Miaozi was stunned: "Brother, do you have some grievances that you can't get over, are you torturing yourself?"

Xie Xiaofeng said in a low voice, "I'm fine."

"Really?"

"real."

"Hey." Lao Miaozi said: "I saw it yesterday. You are different from us. I don't understand your past, and maybe I can't understand it. However, you don't even have any anger in your life. If you go on like this, you will be useless." Now, you have to come out and look forward."

He comforted him with clumsy words, but Xie Xiaofeng just smiled and didn't respond.

The old Miaozi was helpless, and finally sighed: "Alas..."

……

evening.

With exhaustion all over their bodies, the two returned home together.

"Aji, how did you become like this?" The old lady found out that Xie Xiaofeng's nose was bruised and his face was swollen after going out for a trip, and she felt her heart ache, so she pulled him to ask.

"I accidentally walked and fell."

The old woman has gone through vicissitudes all her life, and she still knows men very well. She didn't expose the lie, but just looked at Xie Xiaofeng deeply: "Then you have to be careful in the future, don't fall again. You wash up first, and the meal will be served right away."

"Yes."

Xie Xiaofeng was full of gratitude.

——It’s nothing for a woman to be able to speak. It’s more important to keep silent at the right time, to save face for men and not embarrass them.

"It smells so good!" The old Miaozi sniffed a few times before shouting, "Mom, what delicious food did you cook?"

"Today, there are not only pork pies, but also roast chicken. Your sister is back from leave."

"The doll is back? Hahaha, okay, Aji, hurry up and come and meet my little princess..."

After a while, Xie Xiaofeng became stiff all over.

He was stunned.

There was nothing in my mind.

He didn't know how he greeted the other party.

I don't know how I should face the old Miaozi and the old woman.

Because Xie Xiaofeng had met the most cherished little sister of their family!

Just in the hook bar a few days ago.

At that time, she was not called a doll, but "Xiaoli".

Xiaoli seemed to be a different person. She had washed away all her charms and became gentle and demure, just like a real innocent girl.

A few days ago, her demeanor was cool and cold, but at some point, she became uncharacteristically enthusiastic, and brought Xie Xiaofeng an unforgettable joy in his life.

How can such two completely different souls overlap?

"Brother Aji, you eat meat." The baby seemed to have never seen Xie Xiaofeng before, with a happy expression, and gave him a big chicken leg.

"Many, thank you." Xie Xiaofeng lowered his head and heard his own voice say.

"Hey, little girl, Aji is shy by nature, so don't take offense."

"Ah."

The old Miaozi stuffed the neck of the chicken into his mouth and asked vaguely, "Are you tired in the kitchen recently? Did you not get beaten?"

"The master and the cooking chefs are very kind to me, how could I be beaten?" The baby shook her head, then took out a silver coin, and pushed it to him: "Brother, I just got a monthly payment, so you take it quickly .”

The old Miaozi hesitated and said: "Too much, you should mince the money and keep some for yourself, girls always want to buy some rouge and gouache."

"I'm a little maid, who should I dress up for? You just take it, first make two new clothes for mother, and then go to the market to buy a decent walking stick. Mother's legs and feet are not good, don't let her Leaning on a firewood stick, it's not stable."

"That's okay, brother will accept it with a cheeky face. If it is useful, you can come to me anytime and ask for it."

The doll showed a happy smile: "Well..."

Xie Xiaofeng had a hard time eating this meal.

The baby is clearly a hooker girl, why did she lie to her elder brother that she was working in a rich family?

Was she coerced by a local snake?
Or was it designed by some heartless man and sold to Gou Lan for money?
"..."

Xie Xiaofeng didn't dare to think too much, he just felt that his chest was constricted and he couldn't breathe.

This family fed him, gave him a house to live in, and brought him unprecedented warmth and affection, but now it's time to say goodbye.

Because I have a guilty conscience, I must leave.

After dinner, Xie Xiaofeng pretended to be nonchalant, and quietly walked out of the courtyard.

"Brother Aji, why are you going?" Lao Miaozi yelled when he was chatting with the baby.

"My stomach is full, so I'll go outside and wander around."

"Okay, go home early, I have to start work tomorrow morning."

Come back home?

Come back home!

go home……

Xie Xiaofeng's body trembled inexplicably.He turned his head slowly, and smiled slowly at the old Miaozi: "Brother, goodbye."

"Haha, this man is so polite, he just went out for a while, how can we see you again?"

The night was dark.

The heat outside has not subsided because of the night, it is still hot enough.

Xie Xiaofeng stood in a daze at the intersection, his expression blank for a while, he didn't know where he should go, and where could he go?
"Well, leave it to fate."

He randomly picked an unknown wild flower, grabbed the petals one by one, and said silently: "Left, right, left, right..."

"You stop!"

Looking back suddenly, it was the doll chasing after him.

The doll turned into that clear and cold look again, with sarcasm and sullenness flashing in her eyes, and a little self-deprecating.

"Aji, where are you going?"

"You know I'm leaving?"

"Humph."

Xie Xiaofeng avoided his gaze, not daring to look into her eyes.

The baby said: "Do you have money?"

"No."

"Then it hurts?"

"nor."

Wa Wa sneered and said: "I have a knife wound on my body, I don't have enough money, and I'm afraid I don't have a clear destination. Heh, you look down on me and think I'm cheap, right?"

"No." Xie Xiaofeng firmly denied.

"Then please give me a reason to leave. If you don't leave sooner or later, why do you wait until I get home?"

Xie Xiaofeng was silent for a while, and said bluntly: "My mother-in-law and brother Miaozi are like family members to me, but I slept with my mother-in-law's favorite daughter and the girl my brother loves the most. Do you think I still have the face to stay?"

The baby was stunned for a moment, and quickly asked: "Isn't it because you look down on me?"

"Why do I look down on you?"

"Because I...was born in Goulan."

Xie Xiaofeng shook his head: "So what about Goulan? I don't have any prejudice against you. I'm not like some men who are sanctimonious, who like you to death and sneer at the same time. One thing in front of you, the other thing behind your back."

After listening to his words, the doll's expression changed instantly, leaving only a touch of joy.

"If that's the case, you don't have to rush to leave, it's okay to wait until the injury is healed."

"I can't face Brother Miaozi, I have to go, I have to go."

"Have you decided?"

"Ah."

The baby didn't say any more, just stretched out her hand, and pulled out the only white jade hairpin in her hair.

"If you hold me, I will let you go."

Xie Xiaofeng stared at the doll.

The baby stared at Xie Xiaofeng.

In her eyes, Xie Xiaofeng saw his own stubbornness, as hard as steel!
This time, Xie Xiaofeng didn't say anything, didn't say thanks, just took the hairpin and left.

The doll smiled.

He smiled brightly.

She had just turned around to go home when she suddenly heard a "plop" behind her, something fell down...
