Glory all the way

Chapter 88 The Back
The man was wearing a plain robe of green bamboo leaves, his hair was tied up with a slender cloth belt, and the loose hair was naturally draped over his shoulders.The figure looks a little thin, but compared to those scholars who have no strength to restrain a chicken, they are a bit more masculine.

At this moment, the man was holding a drawing board in his hand, and on his right shoulder was a somewhat rough box, but Bai Yingluo knew without looking at it, that the brushes and paints for painting must be contained in it.

Only the back of the man could be seen, but his face did not turn around from the beginning to the end. The children around him were playing and trying to grab the drawing board in his hand. The man said something, and the children suddenly fell silent.

Raising the drawing board in his hand, the man bent down slightly and propped the drawing board in front of him. Immediately, the children all looked at it attentively.

Although it's just a back view, in Bai Yingluo's dream, this back view has appeared countless times.

It was in the previous life, and I had to watch it every morning.

At that time, Luo Niang of the Bai family got up early every day to make breakfast, and then the husband and wife had breakfast together, and then Luo Niang would get up and send Du Xuan out. Although the school and the small house where the two lived were on the same street, Luo Niang Still wanting to watch his back leave, Du Xuan always waved at Luo Niang, turning his head three times a step at a time, telling her to go back to the house to rest, but Luo Niang always smiled and shook her head. After a long time, Du Xuan also Let her go.

From the street to the end of the street, it took only a stick of incense. Luo Niang stood quietly by the door of her house, sometimes squatting and sitting on the threshold, and when Du Xuan walked to the school door, she turned around and waved at herself. , Entering the school gate and seeing no one, Luo Niang got up and went back to the house, doing laundry and embroidery to do some household things.

Sending him out every day and welcoming him back, Luo Niang never tires of it, her heart is as sweet as a puddle of honey water, and every time Du Xuan is full of doting, scratching her nose and saying "my silly Luo Niang" , Luo Niang will be filled with happiness.

But now, this back figure appeared so clearly in front of her eyes, and Bai Yingluo's heart felt indescribably sore as if it had been soaked in water for several hours.

"Sister Luo, what's the matter?"

The voice sounded, and the old lady Bai opened the curtain of the car.

Blinking to force down the tears in her eyes, Bai Yingluo turned her head with a smile on her face, pointed to the children in the distance and said, "Grandmother, those children are so happy, they can come to the peach grove to enjoy the peach blossoms every day, in a few days months, you can still pick peaches and eat them.”

With a smile on her face, the old lady Bai stretched out her hand to lead Bai Yingluo into the car, then looked back at Taolin, and said slowly and contentedly: "After all, we will live for a long time. If you like it, we will be afraid of seeing Tian'er come. It’s time for you to get bored again. It’s easier to eat peaches. This peach grove belongs to our Jing’an Houfu. Enough."

As if coaxing her young granddaughter, the old lady Bai held Bai Yingluo in her arms and talked, but in Bai Yingluo's heart, she kept thinking about the back view just now.

Even if it was just a back view, Bai Yingluo also believed that she was absolutely right, that person must be Du Xuan.

How can I find out about Du Xuan?

Smelling the faint sandalwood fragrance from her grandmother, Bai Yingluo's turbulent mood gradually calmed down, and as the carriage moved, Bai Yingluo fell into deep thought.

Back in the garden, Bai Yingluo gave an exaggerated description of the beauty of the peach forest to the old lady Bai. The old lady Bai smiled wrinkledly, but she didn't break Bai Yingluo's little thoughts. Early in the morning, the grandparents and grandchildren got up and went to Taolin again.

Walking around in the peach forest, seeing that grandparents were tired, Bai Yingluo and the maid helped the two old people to sit on the big rock beside the ridge.

After the two old people drank tea comfortably, Bai Yingluo waved to Liu Ying, took the Tao Xun her grandfather had given her, and began to play it hummingly.

Just when the sun was rising, half of the sky was shrouded in dazzling golden yellow, spreading little by little, until it reached the top of the head, it became a soft light yellow, reflecting the peach blossoms blooming in the peach forest, also like It's a bit more gorgeous.

On the side of the ridge, two old men with hair like snow and smiles on their faces, and a pretty girl who stood pretty happily blew the tune, which attracted the nearby birds to stop on the peach branches and couldn't bear to leave.

At a glance, everything in front of you is as beautiful and timeless as a painting.

After playing some of her favorite tunes, Bai Yingluo handed the Tao Xun to Liu Ying to put it away with satisfaction. Wherever her eyes went, she didn't see Du Xuan's figure. Bai Yingluo couldn't hear it. sighed lightly.

"Sister Luo's blowing is getting better and better..."

Compared to that time during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Bai Yingluo's playing was obviously more skillful, and Old Master Bai praised it in admiration.

After staying in the peach forest for more than an hour, the group of people went back home. The moment before getting into the car, Bai Yingluo looked back at the peach forest full of reluctance, but still did not see the familiar figure.

In the next few days, Bai Yingluo would naturally follow the nearby mountains and rivers where old master Bai and old lady Bai visited, and never went to that peach grove again.

Thinking of Du Xuan in her heart, but unable to think of a way to find him, Bai Yingluo was extremely anxious.

That day, after taking a nap and getting up, when they arrived at the main room, Old Master Bai and Mrs. Bai were about to go out. Bai Yingluo went to grandmother and sat down with some surprise, "Grandma, are you and grandfather going out?"

The old lady Bai nodded, "At the villagers' meeting in Baijia Village, the elders of the village posted a post. Your grandfather also wanted to watch the fun, so grandma went with him. It's not a fun thing to do, so I won’t take you there, you can read and embroider at home, if you are bored, it’s okay to go to Taolin for a stroll, as long as you have a maid by your side.”

With a move in her heart, Bai Yingluo nodded obediently in response.

After tidying everything up, Old Master Bai and Old Lady Bai went out with their stewards and maidservants. Bai Yingluo came back after being sent to the second gate. She went into the house to rest for an hour, and waited until the sun set to the west before ordering Liusu and Liuying to prepare some food. Stuff out.

The sedan chair stopped by the peach grove, and from a distance, the sound of children playing could be heard, Bai Yingluo was overjoyed, while Tassel and Tassel frowned slightly.

"Miss, why not, let's go back. There are many children in the forest, it would be bad if we bump into Miss."

Tassel said with some worry.

"The children in the country are the most innocent and lovely. They are not as delicate as the children raised in the deep houses in the capital. It's okay for us to appreciate our peach blossoms."

Thinking of Du Xuan babbling about those children's funny stories every day, a smile curled up on Bai Yingluo's lips.

Before Du Xuan came to teach in the school, the children in the village would often do some unpopular things in groups of three or four, and there would often be that aggressive woman twisting the children's ears to confess their mistakes to other people.

But after Du Xuan left, it seemed that within a few days, the children became sensible, and when they saw the elders in the village, they would politely call for help. Those incidents that caused the neighbors to shout abuse never happened again. pass.

But Liusu and Liuying, after hearing Bai Yingluo's words, did not stop them. The master and servants got off the ridge and walked forward slowly along the path.

As you walked forward, the children's laughter became louder. You could vaguely see more than a dozen children running around, as if they were playing hide-and-seek. The one in the middle, blindfolded by the gauze, was a man dressed in a small floral sackcloth. The little girl in the coat and trousers.

"Miss, be careful" rang out in unison, and before Bai Yingluo could react, she was hit by a child.

Subconsciously, he stretched out his hand to copy it, and fixed his eyes to see that it was a five or six-year-old boy.

As if he knew that he had done something wrong, the little boy’s eyes were full of panic. He looked around a few times and saw that the brothers and sisters around him were still happily playing games. The little boy timidly grabbed the corner of his clothes and said in a low voice: "Hold... sorry, I, I didn't mean to."

How can Bai Yingluo blame him for such an older child?She patted his hand with a gentle smile, and Bai Yingluo let him go.

Seeing Xiao Douding running towards the distance with her short legs, while turning her head and sticking out her tongue playfully at herself, Bai Yingluo's eyes were full of tenderness.

Looking carefully around, but did not see Du Xuan, Bai Yingluo simply stopped thinking about it and concentrated on admiring the flowers.

The peach blossoms are gorgeous and colorful, and under the sunshine in the afternoon, they look extraordinarily enchanting. Taking a deep breath, the cool breath rippling back and forth among the internal organs makes people feel refreshed and happy.

"Beautiful sister, thank you..."

Unexpectedly, a little girl came from behind her and thanked timidly. Bai Yingluo turned her head and saw Xiao Douding holding a girl's hand, hiding behind her and secretly looking at Bai Yingluo.

"You're welcome, go and play."

Bai Yingluo smiled and shook her head.

"Beautiful sister, you can play with us, okay?"

Looking back at the friends who had stopped playing long ago, the little girl boldly extended the invitation, but Bai Yingluo suddenly felt a little bit dumbfounded in her heart.

"Miss, if you want to play, go and play. There are children on the left and right, and there is nothing to shy away from. Even if the old man and the old lady know about it, they will not blame the lady."

Seeing that Bai Yingluo didn't rush to refuse, she thought she was hesitating, Liu Ying suggested from the side.

Shaking her head, before Bai Yingluo could speak, the group of children in front of her swarmed up. Not only Bai Yingluo, but also Liusu and Liuying were dragged to the open space in the middle of the forest.

The three masters and servants looked at each other and smiled, their eyes full of cunning.

After a while, Bai Yingluo became a blindfolded person.

The eyes can't see, but the hearing is very sensitive, but there are children's carefree laughter all around, every time Bai Yingluo pounces on it with confidence, she is in vain, and she feels a little dizzy after only turning around a few times up.

"Beautiful sister, I'm here..."

"Come on, beautiful sister, we are behind you..."

……

Someone patted her hand, and Bai Yingluo eagerly grabbed it in that direction, but it was always in vain.

After a while, the surroundings became quiet.

Dimly, she seemed to see a black figure in front of her eyes, Bai Yingluo smiled lightly, quickly stepped forward and grabbed the man's arm, and couldn't help laughing excitedly, "Haha, I caught you... "

A faint Du Ruo fragrance came from the tip of the nose, and with the movement of lifting the cloth strip, Bai Yingluo's eyes widened in astonishment.
