Chapter 7 Wake Up
Xu Changqing opened her eyes, which were full of confusion, and her aching brain was still in a trance. Just now, she had a dream, a long dream that was both real and false.
In the dream, even her forgotten childhood memories reappeared one by one. The only difference was the future, especially the future after this year. It was so miserable...
A sound of rustling footsteps suddenly came from the outer room. Xu Changqing couldn't allow herself to think about it any longer. She was stunned and stepped lightly onto the kang with the intention of catching a thief.
Slowly approaching the door, she could see a pair of shoes in the outer room through the curtain. No need to think about it, this person must be her brother-in-law.
Xu Changqing was about to ignore it, but when she turned back to the kang, she was stunned. If she remembered correctly, today was the first day of wheat harvest, and it wasn't time to finish work yet.
It's time to get off work? Who doesn't send food to the fields during the wheat harvest season? There really is no man who would go home specially, and who wouldn't take the opportunity to take a break.
she?
She was under sixteen years old, so the captain asked her eldest aunt to send her back first. But this man? How could he have the kindness to deliberately walk lightly without disturbing others' rest?
What's more, why is he, a son-in-law, going to the east room where his elders live? Xu Changqing's heart moved, and he quickly turned around and walked towards the door of the room with gentle steps.
Why do I always feel like someone is watching me from behind? Fang Jun, who had just entered the east room, paused in his steps and subconsciously turned his head to look at the door of the room, suddenly dumbfounded.
"...It's Evergreen." Fang Jun coughed lightly, "I was shocked. Sister, how do you feel now? Are you feeling better?"
"What are you looking for?" Xu Changqing, who was leaning against the door frame, held the door curtain with one hand and pointed inward with the other hand, "Do you want me to help you?"
"No, no, no." Looking at those eyes that seemed to see through everything, Fang Jun smiled, "Your sister asked me to find a pair of my grandfather's old shoes to put on."
"Are these my grandfather's old shoes?" Xu Changqing stood up straight, put down the door curtain in his hand and turned around, "Then you really went to the wrong door. My grandfather hasn't lived here during this time."
"Really? Your sister didn't even explain clearly. Forget it, stop looking, just get dressed. Do you plan to go out, or stay at home?"
"Not looking for it?"
"Well, I'm not looking for it anymore."
Xu Changqing looked at Fang Jun who was walking out of the east room with a strange look on her face. Seeing that he was about to leave the outer room quickly, she bent down and grabbed the bench beside her and threw it over.
"Ah!... Why are you crazy?" Fang Jun jumped two steps back, his heart palpitating and his chest beating, looking at the long bench that fell to pieces on the ground, "If I hadn't reacted quickly, I would have hit..."
"Ha~" Xu Changqing sneered, and without saying a word, he grabbed another long bench next to the square table and started smashing it. Fang Jun was so frightened that he rushed towards the door mid-sentence.
Seeing this, Xu Changqing raised the long bench in her hands and followed closely. As soon as she walked out of the door of the outhouse, she raised the long bench high and swung it out with all her strength.
Looking at the long bench that he narrowly avoided, Fang Jun exclaimed: "He killed someone!...Xu Changqing killed someone!...Help!...Help, people come quickly!..."
Along the way, Bai Laowu, who was worried after finding Bai Xiulan, yelled at his aunt to walk slower. Suddenly, someone in front of her shouted something about killing someone and helping her.
"Auntie, is someone shouting something?"
Bai Xiulan, who was thinking about her daughter suffering from heatstroke, shook her head in disbelief, "I didn't hear that. I guess you heard it wrong. No, it seems someone really shouted for help."
"Really? My hearing is quite good. Uncle said that I... Hey, aunt, why are you running? You should slow down. Why do you always like to join in the fun? It makes me so angry..."
"It's handsome boy, it's your brother-in-law who is shouting. Sangouzi, you have quick legs and feet. Go and see what happened to your brother-in-law. Hurry, you should be faster, I can keep up!"
Is that the guy? He has a leech on his leg and can jump around and scream for help. What big trouble can happen to him? Looking at the anxious aunt, Bai Laowu had no choice but to speed up his pace.
Bai Laowu, who was running along the sound and occasionally turning his head to glance at Bai Xiulan behind him, was running. When he turned around, he saw a scene that almost made him stumble and fall to the ground.
——His silly cousin was chasing Fang Jun, who was a head taller than her, in the yard with a broken bench. Seeing that the stupid thing was still alive, let’s continue playing.
For a moment, Bai Laowu was no longer in a hurry to step forward. He raised his arms and waved his hands towards Bai Xiulan who was walking quickly behind her, shouting, "Auntie, it's okay, they are just joking."
Damn it, who are you kidding?! I'm about to die! Dragging his almost useless arm, enduring the pain, Fang Jun cursed his mother secretly but didn't dare to stop.
"Lao Wu...Bai Lao Wu, Bai Wu brother, I beg you, come and stop Changqing...Mother!...Come quickly, Changqing is crazy...Your mother is here...Stop it!...
…”
Bai Laowu rolled his eyes, "What kind of temper does she have in Changqing? You must have pissed her off." What an idiot. How come you don't know how to run outside and run in circles!
"Auntie...I called you ancestor...Help...Mom, come quickly, someone is dead...Xu Sanya killed someone...Xu Changqing killed someone..."
Seeing Bai Xiulan approaching from behind, Bai Laowu, who had just watched the show, was also worried about his cousin's reputation. Hearing Fang Jun's shouting becoming more and more outrageous, he hurriedly spoke up.
"It's almost time. Auntie is coming. Stop, stop, let's fight again next time..."
Suddenly, there was a "bang", and the long bench that Xu Changqing had been holding pressed firmly against Fang Jun's head, and then fell to the ground.
Bai Laowu opened his mouth wide.
"Ah!..." With a scream, Fang Jun reached out and touched his head in disbelief, and found blood on his hand. Then he rolled his eyes and fell to the ground.
Bai Laowu's eyes widened even more.
Looking at Fang Jun who was lying on the ground, Xu Changqing's eyes were heavy, and she stepped forward and kicked him. Seeing a reaction, she turned around and headed towards the outhouse.
Good boy! Are you going back to the house just like that? Bai Laowu woke up in surprise and hurriedly came forward and shouted in a low voice, "You tiger, come and help me. I'll carry him to the health center first."
"No, I'll just grab some ashes and cover it up."
"Really?" Bai Laowu walked to Fang Jun's head and squatted down, worried and asked, "Can you stop it?"
"If you can't, just throw it away." Xu Changqing blinked and motioned for him to watch the other person's eyes, "If you turn around and say that he went into the mountain without permission and didn't come back, it would be fine."
Bai Laowu reached out and poked Fang Jun's closed eyes with a finger, and agreed with a clear smile: "I think it's okay, let's just deal with it like this. What did he do this time?"
"My hands and feet were dirty and I caught them."
"That's right! Beating him to death is in vain, so why not do anything wrong. Damn it, aunt is about to enter the yard. Come on, I'll drag him into the house first, and you go and greet aunt."
