Chapter 710 Sunny day (1)
The spring wind in Beishuang Kingdom is still a bit chilly, and it still feels a bit chilly when it blows on people's faces and necks. When the wind blows, people can't help but want to pull up their collars.

At this time, Qiao Xiaoyu was holding on to the collar of her cloak, and looked uncomfortably at a family with a black door not far away. After a while, she turned her head to look at Bingren standing beside her, and said nervously: " Hero, I...I dare not."

Bing Ren glared at Qiao Xiaoyu, and said with extreme disgust: "With Laozi here, what are you afraid of? No matter how dare you say you dare, be careful that Laozi beats you, squirm, hurry up and knock on the door."

Qiao Xiaoyu was so fiercely attacked by Bingren, she immediately shut up and didn't dare to speak more, but the nervousness on her face did not disappear, I saw that she seemed to have made great determination and courage before slowly walking forward , but she just took a step and stopped again, still turning her head to look at Bingren, still uneasy: "Hero...won't you come with me?"

"Didn't I tell you that I will go in after you!? Are you bothered to ask? Are you afraid that I will leave you behind!?" Bingren was angry, and frowned, pushing Qiao Xiaoyu hard Pushed forward, then shook his hand vigorously and said, "Hurry up, if you dare to dawdle again, I will really leave you alone."

"Then, then I'll go there first." Qiao Xiaoyu was still nervous.

Bingren didn't say anything, just nodded with disgust.

Qiao Xiaoyu had no choice but to take another step towards the black painted door not far away.

Her steps were slow and heavy.

Bingren stood still, just staring at Qiao Xiaoyu's back.

The black lacquered gate is not big, and the wood used is only the wood used by ordinary people to nail the door, which is not expensive. The copper ring on the gate is a bit old, the threshold is also a bit damaged, and the white ash on the wall has peeled off in several places, which shows that It's not a wealthy family. If you really want to say, Zuo is just a slightly wealthier family than ordinary people. If it is a truly wealthy family, the appearance will definitely not be like this.

Qiao Xiaoyu stood in front of the closed black lacquered gate, looked up at the plaque hanging above the gate, saw the two big characters "Qiao's Mansion" engraved on the plaque, took a deep breath, then lowered his head to straighten things out. With the cloak on his body, he raised his hand to hold the copper ring on the door, and knocked on the closed door.

"Clang, clang, clang..."

The clanging sound of the copper ring hitting the gate was quite clear in the cold spring afternoon. After a while, an old man's hoarse voice came from behind the gate accompanied by the sound of pulling the latch, "Here we come!" Come on, don't knock."

The sound of pulling the latch behind the door made Qiao Xiaoyu's heart tighten suddenly, and she took a step back, as if she wanted to turn around and run away, but she still stood still in front of the door and did not run away, waiting for the door in front of her to slowly open.

The person who opened the door was a thin old man in blue and gray cloth. Qiao Xiaoyu knew this old man. He was Uncle Tong who had been guarding the gate of Qiao's house since she was a child. I hadn't seen him for six years. His appearance was not much different from when she left Qiao's house. The only change is that he is getting older and his back is more rickety.

When Qiao Xiaoyu saw the elderly Uncle Tong, he suddenly felt a bit astringent on the tip of his nose, because in Qiao's house, apart from Aunt Wu in the kitchen, it was the gatekeeper Uncle Tong who treated her the best. You see, he likes to stuff all the monthly money he saves for her to buy food and clothing, because he doesn't need to keep it for himself, and as long as she has free time, she will always come to sit with Uncle Tong and talk to him for a while As a child, occasionally he would come over to eat with Uncle Tong.

Uncle Tong treated her like his own daughter, so when she escaped from Qiao's house, she only told Uncle Tong. Instead of scolding her, Uncle Tong helped her escape from the house.

She said that she might never come back after leaving, and it would be good for Uncle Tong to let her go far away.

She ran away.

Before she ran away, she saw Uncle Tong crying.

She didn't cry because she was used to hiding her tears.

She didn't cry now, because she had a very good life these years, so good that she forgot the bitter taste of tears.

She just felt that the tip of her nose was sore and astringent.

Uncle Tong is getting old, his eyesight is not good at all, and it is even worse now, even in the daytime, he can't see the people standing in front of the door clearly, he can only see that it is a man in a cloak A woman with a light purple cloak and the appearance of a young woman, but she didn't know who it was, couldn't help asking: "Excuse me...?"

"Uncle Tong." Seeing the old Uncle Tong, Qiao Xiaoyu sniffed, stepped forward to support him, and said with a smile, "I'm Xiaoyu."

"Xiao Yu, Xiao Yu..." Uncle Tong murmured twice at first, then suddenly grabbed Qiao Xiaoyu's arm excitedly, his cloudy old eyes flickered fiercely, "You are Xiao Yu, you, you, you, why are you back!? Didn’t I tell you to go far away and not come back!? You’re not afraid—”

However, before Uncle Tong finished speaking, he was interrupted by a sharp female voice in the yard: "Who are you talking to, old boy? Is there a visitor?"

Hearing this voice, Qiao Xiaoyu's hand trembled suddenly, but Uncle Tong was taken aback for a moment, and then wanted to push her out of the door.

But it's too late.

The woman behind the screen wall has already walked out.

She is a charmingly dressed woman in silk and satin, who looks about 35 or [-] years old, with a high bun, red hairpins on top, bright red lip balm and Kodan, and she looks well-maintained. It's really charming.

However, her beautiful eyes with the corners of her eyes slightly upturned are so mean no matter how you look at them, especially when she looks at Uncle Tong, it seems that she is looking at something dirty, which disgusts her, so she doesn't even speak her voice. Consciously becoming sharp, as if she gave Uncle Tong great face by talking to him.

The woman was originally asking Uncle Tong, but when she came out from behind the screen wall, she didn't look at Uncle Tong, but at Qiao Xiaoyu who was about to push Uncle Tong out of the door.

Seeing Qiao Xiaoyu, the disgust in the beautiful woman's eyes was immediately replaced by shock, she stared fixedly at Qiao Xiaoyu, pointing at Qiao Xiaoyu with her finger painted with big red kodan in amazement: "You, you, you... Qiao Xiaoyu !?"

Instead of leaving, Qiao Xiaoyu patted the wrinkled back of Uncle Tong's hand lightly to show that it was okay, at the same time slightly lowered her head towards the beautiful woman, and said politely and respectfully: "Third Aunt .”
