blue bird song

Chapter 23 No shortage of masters (3)
Xinci breathed a sigh of relief, "This child is loved and loved. If she wants to leave, I will not bear it." Jue Chi smiled, "This is the first time in my life that I am a master, and I love this little apprentice very much, and I am reluctant to bear it."

The two looked at each other and smiled, their hearts connected.

After parting with Juechi, Xinci sneaked back to the room lightly, and went to bed again.The bed wasn't big at first, when she got on the bed, Qing Que rolled over in her sleep, rolled into her arms, hugged her, and fell back asleep. "This child is such a lover, motherless child, how pitiful." She was full of kindness and motherhood, hugging the little Qingque, very gentle.

On the second day, no one brought food to Qingque. "This is not temper temper, this is fatal." Xinci was extremely angry, what kind of bullshit is this Duke's government, using this method to deal with a child!If Qing Que was really an ordinary girl of six or seven years old, she would be frightened to death even if she was hungry!If Qing Que was really an ordinary six or seven-year-old girl, and she was called back after being miserable like this, she would listen to whatever her aunt said, and never dared to resist again.

A cruel woman, taking advantage of the pure place of Buddhism to do such insidious things.His teeth itched with compassion and hatred, he wished he could go to the capital and cut that cruel and vicious woman under the sword.

Qingque giggled, "Looking at it this way, my mother is actually very fond of me. She would rather have me die than let me go back to the capital, to Ningguo Duke's Mansion."

"Where is your mother?" She asked sympathetically.

The little girl's face darkened, and she was dejected, "She doesn't want me anymore. My father is bad, I'm sorry for her, she is angry with my father, and she doesn't even want me anymore."

Xinci was speechless, what is this?Whether or not my own child can do it is really cruel.

Although Qingque was sad, but when it was time to practice, she sat cross-legged quietly, with no other distractions, and she was calm and focused.Juechi and Xinci look at me and I look at you, feeling inexplicably excited.There is no one out of ten thousand children like Qing Que, rare, rare.

Another day later, Samini brought Qing Que a bowl of porridge. "You are in such a good spirit!" Saminy was inexplicably surprised when he saw Qingque.In such a desolate place, there was no food or drink, and she was still meditating on the bed.

Qing Que slowly got out of bed, "Haven't you heard of it? In the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a man from the State of Lu named Shan Leopard who lived in the mountains and only drank stream water. It still has the color of a boy. 'Bigu, it's amazing."

Samini gave her a deadly look, "Are you six or seven? How many books have you read?"

Qing Que picked up the porridge bowl and said casually: "I haven't read much. However, before I came, I checked Bigu."

Saminy snorted coldly and left.

That afternoon, Juechi hunted two pheasants and a wild boar, caught two big fish, peeled and washed them by the stream with Qingque, and put them on the grill.Wild pork is much more delicious than domestic pork, with bursts of intoxicating aroma, the green bird's saliva is about to flow out.

There were two more people who came to eat barbecue this day. "I'm lucky today, thank you two uncles!" These two are thirteen or fourteen-year-old boys, the handsome one is called Wu Bin, and the thick-browed one is Xue Hu. apprentice.

"Thank you, my little apprentice." Jue Chi smiled and pointed at Qing Que.

Qing Que, Wu Bin, and Xue Hu greeted each other and called each other "Senior Brother" and "Junior Sister".Wu Bin saw that Qing Que was still young, but he looked like he was sitting by the fire roasting meat, and said with a smile: "It's a pity that we are going back to Beijing. We have to eat such delicious barbecue this time."

Qing Que asked politely: "Brother is going back to Beijing? Be careful along the way." Handed a piece of barbecue, "Meat instead of wine, I wish you a smooth journey."

Wu Bin laughed, "How old are you, little junior sister? You can really talk. My sister is a head taller than you. She doesn't know anything, and she is far behind you."

Wu Bin teased Xue Hu, "Hey, doesn't your family also have a younger sister? How does your younger sister compare to Little Qingque?"

Xue Hu shook his head, "It's incomparable. My younger sister is only two years old. My little Ayang is also very smart and very cute, similar to my junior sister."

Little Ayan?When this name was heard in Qingque's ears, Qingque was stunned and did not move.

"Aren't you younger sister, why are you so young?" Wu Bin blurted out.After the words came out, I remembered that Xue Hu's family was a stepmother, and the younger sister was a half-mother, so I couldn't help but blush, feeling very embarrassed.

Xue Hu didn't take it seriously, "In my family, my father has no intention of an official career, and my sister is still young, so it's all up to me. When I return to Beijing this time, I will serve as an avant-garde in the government army."

"Isn't your family Heyang Wuhou's family? You don't have to worry about it." Wu Bin was talking with Xue Hu while eating barbecue.

"Don't mention it, my uncle and grandfather, Marquis Yangwu, has passed away. Because he has no son, his title has been withdrawn." Xue Hu said in a dull voice, "Xue family, there is no one to support the family now."

"You have earned fame, Xue family, you support it!"

"Well, that's what I meant too."

Xue Hu ate the barbecue with big mouthfuls, and suddenly felt uncomfortable all over his body, as if being pricked by thorns.Raising his head, he saw the little junior sister whom he had just met staring at him with rather unkind eyes.

Xue Hu scratched his head.Does the junior sister think that she eats too much, or does she think she has no winks and doesn't help with work?Xue Hu hurriedly stretched out his hand, "Junior Junior Sister, let me barbecue."

Qingque knocked off his hand, "No need!" Angrily, she turned her head, grabbed the roasted pheasant, and took a vicious bite.

"Little Junior Sister, are you... all right?" Xue Hu was stunned and asked foolishly.The little girl in front of her is snow-skinned and beautiful, immature and beautiful, but she seems to have a deep hatred for the piece of barbecue in her hand, her eyes are fierce, and she is biting angrily.

Wu Bin peeked at Juechi and Xinci who were washing their hands by the stream, and pissed Xue Hu, "Xiao Xue, don't ask any more." The envoy winked, meaning "little junior sister is upset, don't mess with her." Xue Hu understood, looked at the angry Qing Que apologetically, and continued to eat the barbecue.

Wu Bin and Xue Hu are about to return to Beijing, this time it is a farewell party for them.Jue Chi ordered the two of them to bring a letter back to Beijing, "Go to Dongmianhua Hutong, there is a tailor's shop at the end of the alley, and I will give it to the shopkeeper." He described in detail the shopkeeper's appearance, appearance and behavior, and what to say when they meet .Wu Bin and Xue Hu listened carefully and took notes one by one.

Before parting, Xue Hu turned around inadvertently, and saw a little girl pushing the loess with her hands in the setting sun to cover the fire where the barbecue was just now.The cold afterglow sprinkled on her little face, she was indescribably lonely, desolate, and lonely.

With a heart move, Xue Hu pulled his legs back, squatted beside the little girl, and took out a delicate dressing box from his arms, "Little Junior Sister, this is for you." This dressing box is made of black rosewood, very elegant, the dressing box There are a wide variety of things in the store, such as crescent-shaped horn combs, powder cases, rouge cases, and head accessories.

Qing Que glanced at it, and raised her head in doubt, "Why are you carrying this with you?" Xue Hu smiled innocently, "This was originally intended for my sister, to coax her to play. Today, my brother has a meal Such a delicious barbecue is all due to the busy work of the junior sister, and the senior brother feels sorry for it."

Wu Bin also came back, a little embarrassed, "I have always been more careful than Xiaoxue, why didn't I think of bringing a plaything for my sister? If there is, I can take it out and give it to my junior sister."

Qingque smiled sweetly, and pushed the black sour branch box back, "I appreciate it, thank you brother for thinking about me. This box is very beautiful, and little A Yang will definitely like it, so I'd better take it back and give it to little A Let's go."

Xue Hu scratched his head, a little surprised, "Little Junior Sister, you have a really good memory, we just met for the first time, and I haven't mentioned little Ayang a few times, so you can remember her name." Put the box in Qing Que's hand "Take it, this place is remote, and things are difficult to buy. When I return to Beijing, I will sell whatever I want to give little Ayang." Without any explanation, he put down the box, pulled Wu Bin up and left quickly.

Qing Que held the box, looked at Xue Hu's back, and bit her lips tightly.If you weren't my senior brother, I would definitely treat you to croton today!She was originally my mother, but now she has become your mother, Xue Hu, you are so annoying.

Qingque looked down at the black rosewood box in her hand, it was originally for little Ayang, it was so pretty.Antique, mellow and subtle, the unique wooden texture of black rosewood is like the undulating water surface, the breeze blows gently, and there are layers of ripples, which is infinitely imaginative.

Little Ayang, little Ayang, Qing Que sat on the stone by the stream, put the black rosewood box on his knees, rested his little face on the box, his eyes were very gentle.Little Ayang was still walking unsteadily, staggering and stumbling, which made people worry.

Juechi and Xinci looked at the little apprentice sitting alone by the stream, feeling compassion in their hearts.Xue Hu just gave her a dressing box to see how much she cherished it.Poor child, who lacks love.

A gust of cold wind blew past, Qingque shivered.The next moment, she fell into a broad embrace, her whole body was warm, "Master!" She raised her head to see Chi Junxiu's dusty face, and called out weakly.

Jue Chi hugged her tightly, and responded with a thick nasal voice.Qing Que leaned in his thick embrace, inexplicably at ease. "Master!" She called out again, and Jue Chi hugged her even tighter.

The last swipe of sunset glow merged into the dark twilight, and the sky gradually darkened.In the vastness, the young man held a cute and cute little girl in his arms, and the beautiful woman walked side by side with him, turning her head from time to time to tease the little girl, harmonious and peaceful.

Back in the shabby hut, Qing Que lay in Jue Chi's arms for a while before starting to practice as usual.She sat cross-legged quietly, concentrating, her delicate face was extremely solemn.

"Grandfather hasn't sent anyone to see me for two days." Qing Que went to bed obediently at night, but suddenly sat up, her big clear eyes were full of confusion, "No! Don't come to see me!"

Jue Chi and Xin Ci hurriedly asked about "Grandfather", Jue Chi pondered for a while, and made a quick decision, "Master is taking you, let's go to Yang Ji to have a look!" Xin Ci smiled, "Little Master Go too. If the master is tired of carrying you, let the junior master carry you."

Qingque jumped up and rushed towards Juechi.Jue Chi easily caught her, put her on his back, moved his body, and went out the door.Compassion follows him like a shadow, unhurriedly, gracefully and freely following him.

"Master, it's here." Qingque pointed the way, and arrived at Yang's house smoothly, to the outer courtyard where old Yang Ge lived.Juechi, with the blue bird on his back, fluttered down behind the house, while Xinci went to the window and listened attentively.

The door curtain was lifted slightly, and a maid came out, holding a tray in her hand, with bowls and pots in the tray, exuding a strong smell of medicine.Jue Chi and Qing Que looked at each other with doubts in their eyes, "Are you sick?"

There was a coughing sound in the room. "Grandpa!" Qing Que panicked, broke away from Jue Chi, and ran in, "Great Grandpa!"

On the bed in the back room, Yang Ge was leaning on the backrest, his face was yellow and his spirits were low.Except for Mr. Yang Ge, there are only two children in the room serving in front of the bed.

Old Yang Ge closed his eyes and rested, and smiled slightly, "What's the matter, I haven't fallen asleep yet, and I dreamed that the little blue sparrow called me." Until the blue sparrow entered the room, the voice got closer and closer, and Yang Ge Ge Laocai opened his eyes suddenly, and tremblingly stretched out his hand to Qing Que, "Niu Niu, come here!"

Qing Que rushed to Grandpa's bed and asked anxiously, "Grandpa, are you sick? Is it serious? How could you be sick?" Old Yang Ge smiled while holding her little hand, "It's like this when you get old. Niuniu, the older you get, the more you can't hold back."

Qing Que complained old-fashionedly, "Why are you so careless, it's terrified me." She asked Tong'er, "Which doctor did you ask for it? What did the doctor say? Who made the medicine? What? Just the two of you guarding?" Tong'er answered one by one, "It's Doctor Ye who is often invited by the mansion. The doctor said it's nothing, just drink the soup for two days and you'll be fine. It’s fried.” Finally, he said aggrievedly: “Master thinks it’s too much, so he doesn’t keep many people at night, so he just ordered us to keep watch, and he didn’t allow us to talk too much.”

Yang Ge always smiled, "Don't worry about it now, Niuniu?" He ordered the two boys to go out and guard the gate of the courtyard, not to let anyone in, and not to tell about Qingque's return.Tong'er agreed, went out in a hurry, and stayed outside the courtyard.

Qing Que lay next to Grandpa's ear, talking in detail about the past few days.Grandpa's eyes turned cold, the abbot dared to blatantly abuse the child sent by the Yang family himself!

"Buddhism is pure, how can I bear to use this method to deal with a child." Elder Yang Ge caressed the little girl's temples and sighed.

Qing Que shook her head like a grown-up, "Grandpa, Niu Niu thinks, this abbot's plan is clearly to subdue Niu Niu, and then send her to the capital."

Old Yang Ge thought about it intently, even though he knew that Qingque was taken care of by Juechi and compassionately, he still felt distressed, "How can Niuniu live in such a shabby place? If you don't leave now, Grandpa has his own reason."

Qing Que giggled, and raised her head in a high-spirited manner, "What are you afraid of being simple? In the future, when I go to the battlefield, maybe I won't even be able to sleep in bed. Wouldn't it be even harder? It's nothing, grandpa."

Seeing that Grandpa still refused to nod, Qing Que lowered her head, "I'm still my father's daughter, so there's nothing I can do about it."

Grandpa pondered for a moment, then explained gently, "So, Niuniu will go back with the masters first. Grandpa will pick you up the next day at the latest, tomorrow at the earliest."

Qing Que tilted her head and thought for a while, "Madam Guo has a fierce look on her face, I don't know what will happen again."

Grandpa smiled, "Not next to her." If I sent someone to Dabei Nunnery to pick up the blue bird, it would take a lot of talking, the abbot had a lot of high-sounding words waiting for me.However, I would never do that.

To pick up Niuniu, the abbot doesn't necessarily have to nod.

Old Yang Ge ordered Qingque to invite Juechi and Xinci to come in, thanked them politely, and asked them to take care of Qingque.Jue Chi smiled, "Such a good material and beauty are unparalleled in the world, so I cherish her very much." He was kind and eloquent, "I fell in love with Little Qingque, and I cherish her very much."

Boss Yang Ge felt relieved.Qing Que Xu Diao Diao explained a lot of children's words, "Grandpa must take medicine obediently, don't feel bitter, you know? I'll see you next time, don't cough anymore."

Juechi picked up the blue bird on his back, Xinci followed beside him, the two of them walked towards the door like strolling in the garden, they disappeared in a blink of an eye.Yang Ge was leaning on the bed, staring at the slightly shaking door curtain, in a daze.

The next day, no one brought food over all morning, and Qing Que didn't take it seriously, and went out to catch and grill fish.That day Jue Chi taught her how to archery, she learned what she learned and sold it, she shot a hare and roasted it.

"I'm tired of eating." While roasting, he complained, "Master, fairy, I want a change."

Juechi came up with an idea, "I heard that you can wrap it in mud and cook it in the fire. It tastes delicious." Qing Que's eyes lit up, and cheered, "Okay, okay, I'll do it like this next time!"

After the meat was cooked, Mimi laughed and ate it.

There was a long howling sound in the distance, one long and one short, full of energy.Juechi and Xinci heard this, and their expressions changed, "Master's call, little Qingque, let's go first, do you remember the way? Will you go back by yourself?"

Qing Que smiled and nodded, "I remember, I will come back. Master, Fairy, didn't you accept a genius apprentice, such a trivial matter is nothing to worry about."

Juechi stroked her little head, and said gently, "Don't run around, go back early." Xinci squeezed her little face, "Wait for me, I will sleep with you in my arms at night." She left with a smile.

"It's so lonely." Qingque was alone, looking at the fire and the roasted rabbit, expressing emotion.

After filling his stomach, Qingque pushed the earth to bury the fire, went to the stream to wash up, and Shi Shiran returned to the simple hut.

Pushing open the door, I was surprised to see Shaminy's disgusted face, "Where did you go crazy?" He walked over to look at Qing Que up and down, and suddenly came to Qing Que and smelled it, his face changed drastically , It was jealousy and hatred, "You actually ate meat! Living in the nunnery, you dare to eat meat!"

"Let's go, follow me to meet the abbot!" The monk grabbed the blue sparrow, filled with righteous indignation, "Buddhist pure land, how dare you do such a disrespectful act!"

Qing Que got out cleverly, and looked at Shaminy contemptuously, "Go and go, Hugh pulls."

Saminy snorted angrily, and took Qingque to see the abbot, "Where is she in bigu, she smells like meat!"
