I want to seal the knife

Chapter 26 - The Old Man

Chapter 26－Departed
Before the godfather could speak, the godmother had already said: "Po'er, I'm afraid this matter will take a few days to discuss. Two days later, the patriarch's son Abukan and Achunxue will hold a wedding. I'm happy, after the wedding, I will explain to the patriarch and go rescue Ah Bugan together."

Xiao Po wanted to talk again, but his godfather said: "Your godmother is right, after the wedding, all the clansmen can set off together to rescue that child of Abugan. Abugan is the best among the juniors in my clan. Hunter, we will try our best to rescue him."

Although Xiao Po was anxious to rescue Ah Bugan, he had no choice but to listen to his godfather and mother.

"Qiu Ling, Qiu Ling------" A girl's voice came from outside, and A Qiuling ran out. It turned out to be the friends who took a bath together in the river that day.

A Qiuling said: "You guys are here, quickly come into my house---"

A Chunmei said: "No, let's see if that person is awake."

A Qiuling said: "I'm awake, my house is having dinner, can you come in and eat together?" Yi Zong girl shook her head, "Then we're leaving, are we going to help the patriarch's house? Are you going?"

A Qiuling turned to look at the house, and said, "You wait for me, I'll call my brother to go with me."

"Brother Xiao Po, do you want to go with us?" A Qiuling asked with blinking eyes, Xiao Po was about to say no, but the godmother had already said: "Po'er, go and play with them, Li Tian It's still early."

Xiao Po nodded in agreement, A Qiuling came over to hold his hand, and walked outside.

After going out, all the girls laughed together when they saw the clothes he was wearing. It turned out that he was wearing girls' clothes.Xiao Po's face was flushed, A Chunmei came over and grabbed him and said, go to my house first, and bring you my brother's clothes to wear.

The girls were chatting and laughing all the way, Xiao Po was too embarrassed to interrupt after passing through the embarrassing situation just now, so he had to walk behind with his head bowed.

After changing their clothes for a while, everyone walked to a big house again.It is the house of the patriarch Atieda. Compared with other houses, this house is much larger and taller.The patriarch's brother, Allen, is a well-known businessman who travels in the Central Plains and frontiers to buy and sell goods, and his family is very rich.

After entering the house, a man smiled and greeted people to decorate the house in the yard, "Come on, hang red cloth here, and hang red cloth there---"

Xiao Po heard that the man's voice was familiar, but he couldn't remember it all at once. When he saw the girl entering the door, the middle-aged man greeted him: "Children, you are here, I really trouble you."

A Chunmei took the lead and said, "Uncle Allen, there is no trouble. Tell us what we are going to do."

Allen said: "Go to the room and help tie the flowers!"

A Chunmei led the girls there, but Xiao Po stood there staring at A Lun, A Lun saw the child but didn't recognize him, and said, "Son, you are—————" He has seen all the children, but he has never seen this child, so he asked.

Hearing A Chunmei's voice, Xiao Po thought of the person in front of him. When he lived in Luzhou, A Lun passed by on business, and would stop at his inn two or three times a year.

"Uncle Allen, you don't remember me!"

A Lun looked at Xiao Po, the child looked familiar, but he really couldn't remember it, Xiao Po said: "I, I am the owner of the Dragon Inn!"

Hearing this, Allen finally remembered, he remembered the time he left the Longmen Inn, he returned half a year later, when he returned, the inn was empty, he didn't know what happened, he had asked Xiao Lang's family everywhere, but there was no one I know, and then he left the two of them to continue managing the inn.

"Small shopkeeper, is it really you? You have grown so big." Alan has already hugged Xiao Po.A Qiuling walked a few steps but Xiao Po was not following him, and when he looked back, he saw Uncle A Lun picking him up.

"Uncle Allen, do you know brother?" A Qiuling asked suspiciously.

A Lun patted Qiu Ling on the head and said: "Well, I'm so happy, so happy, let Qiu Ling go and sit with us over there." A Lun had a lot of questions in his mind, so he had to ask Xiao Po carefully.

The girls over there started calling for A Qiuling, and A Qiuling said to Xiao Po, "Brother Xiao Po, you go with Uncle A Lun, I'm going to make flowers." Turning back to talk to A Lun, A Qiu Ling had run off to join the girls.

Alan pulled Xiao Po to sit at the table in the courtyard, and asked someone to pour tea, and then started chatting with Xiao Po.The two chatted for more than an hour before Alan finally figured out what happened. Knowing that Xiao Lang had passed away, Alan's eyes were filled with tears. When he heard that Xiao Pobai was studying under Tubo Guoshi, he was happy for him, but When asked how Xiao Po came here, Xiao Po only said: "This is a bit complicated, I will talk to Uncle Allen in two days!"

A Lun nodded, and said: "The shopkeeper can talk whenever he wants. Since he is here, he will have a good time at my house for two days. My nephew Abukan is getting married tomorrow. Do you remember him? I've been to your house with me before."

Xiao Po thought of that big brother, and said: "Remember, he is going to get married, I'm afraid he won't remember me."

A Lun said: "I'll call him right now." As he was about to get up, Xiao Po said: "He must be very busy, see you later."

"Uncle Allen, what are we going to do here." Someone shouted over there, and Allen said: "Small shopkeeper, sit down for a while, or go around, I'll go over there and have a look, without me, they can't do it well." After Allen left, Xiao Po sat alone, feeling the impermanence of the world and the changeable life for the first time in his young heart.

There is a tall tree in the yard, Xiao Po can't call out the name, but the leaves on the tree are fiery red, and there are some red silks and satins hanging on the tree, reflecting the people who are busy preparing for the wedding, it looks extremely charming.

Putting a small hand on Xiao Po's shoulder, it was A Qiuling. "Brother, are you going home? The sun has already set, and it will be dark soon."

Xiao Po got up and said: "Then let's go! I'll go and talk to Uncle A Lun first!" A Lun was still busy there, Xiao Po went and said: "Uncle A Lun, I'm leaving!"

A Lun turned around and said: "Small shop owner, where are you going, you can stay here at night!" Xiao Po said: "I am staying at A Qiuling's house now, he is my younger sister." A Lun remembered what Xiao Po said Acknowledging Atongshan and his wife as godfather and mother, said: "Well, then come here early tomorrow."

When he got home, Xiao Po told about how he met A Lun today, and his godfather and mother were all smiling, and said: "It turns out that Po Er has known A Lun for a long time, and then I can let him take you to the Central Plains for business. .”

Hearing this, Xiao Po remembered that after saving Ah Bugan, he could go back to the ancient city of Galash with Alan's caravan. Yu'er and the master must be very worried after being out for so many days .

Xiao Po didn't say what was in his heart, he knew that his godfather and mother definitely didn't want him to leave so soon.From the eyes of the two, he could see that they very much hoped that they would stay here forever.

The night quickly fell, and the oil lamp was lit in the house, and the oil lamp remained on until late at night, before the woman stood up and stretched her waist. After staying up until now, he finally finished the clothes for Xiao Po.

The two children had already gone to bed, only her husband was still with him, and A Tongshan was also making bows and arrows under the oil lamp.

The woman unfolded the finished clothes, put them in front of her, and asked, "Father, do you look good?"

A Tong Shan nodded, did not say anything, put down his work after a while, and said: "Ah Yun, I think this child will leave soon, he is the apprentice of the Tubo State Master, and his status is very noble, How could you be willing to nest in this big mountain?"

The woman had some regrets on her face, "Father, don't say dejected words, I see through that my son is not a heartless child, since he recognizes us as parents, he will definitely not be so heartless, you and I just treat him well, until he wants to When we left, we struggled to keep him, maybe he would stay, and even if he really wanted to leave in the end, he would miss us when he returned to the ancient city of Galash. Filial piety."

"Ah Yun is right, it's getting late, go to sleep, and ask Qiu Ling to take him to have fun tomorrow. We should also go to the patriarch's house to help.

When he woke up the next day, Xiao Po smelled the faint fragrance of flowers, opened his eyes, and saw that the flower on the bedside table was more brilliant than when he saw it yesterday.

"Brother, are you awake? Mother made new clothes, and I'll wear them for you." A Qiuling's voice sounded outside the door, and she got up quickly. Xiao Po put on his clothes and said, "Qiu Ling, come in Bar!"

A Qiuling walked in, handed him the clothes, turned around, and said, "Brother, put it on, I closed my eyes and didn't look at you."

Now Xiao Po is only twelve years old, A Qiuling is ten years old, he is still a child, he didn't know that there are so many men and women avoiding suspicion.Although Xiao Po felt embarrassed, he regarded her as a younger sister, so he changed his clothes.

"Turn around, I'm ready, let's see if it looks good."

A Qiuling turned around, clapped her hands and shouted: "Brother's clothes look really good, he looks better than all the boys in the clan."

Xiao Po's face was flushed, this was the first time a girl praised him for his good looks, turned his head, saw the potted flower, changed the subject and asked: "Qiu Ling, what kind of flower is this, it smells so good!"

A Qiuling heard the question, came over to pick up the flower pot, and said: "This is the water spirit flower. It only grows in the deep mountains. It is rare. Dad brought it to me when I went hunting. Do you like it too? This one I will give it to you first, and I will tell Dad to find some more when he goes hunting next time." Said, he pushed the flower pot in front of Xiao Po.

Xiao Po didn't take it, and said: "You call me brother, your flowers are mine, you don't need to give them to me, and I don't know how to grow flowers, so I'm afraid that I will raise them to death."

A Qiuling rolled his eyes and said, "Okay then, I'll take care of it for you." After putting the flowers away, A Qiuling said, "Both parents have gone to the patriarch's house to help, our child is fine, brother, I How about taking you out to play? Today A Tianlong and the others are going to wrestle over the river."
