Chapter 21 I owe her a favor

Yu Ma kept looking up and looking towards the back mountain.

The sky will be dark, and the rain will continue, which is too annoying.

After a long time, I finally saw two little figures appear in line of sight with umbrellas. Yu's mother hurriedly handed over her work to the woman next to her and ran towards them.

Before she could speak, Xia Zhaoyi said, "I was injured, so I came back late."

Yu's mother looked at her muddy feet: "Is it okay?"

"No."

Qian Qianqian didn't dare to speak with a guilty conscience.

"Then, you go to rest first," Yu Ma said, "Come, come with me."

The yard was very busy. Yu's mother took them around the big pigsty to the small vegetable garden at the back, and brought back a small bottle of medicine: "Apply some yourself, it's too busy over there, I can't walk away for too long."

"Okay," Xia Zhaoyi took it, "Thank you."

Yu's mother gave her a strange look, when someone called her in front of her, she hurriedly responded and said to the two girls, "I'm going to work first, and I'll call you after dinner."

"Well, good..." Qian Qianqian muttered.

Seeing Yu's mother turn and leave, Qian Qianqian said sadly and guiltily, "Look how good Yu's mother is to us."

"That's why I lied and said I was injured," Xia Zhaoyi looked at her, "otherwise I wouldn't want to come back."

"You shouldn't have run away, what a good mother Yu is." Qian Qianqian muttered.

"A vicious tiger wants to eat you, but it has a gentle subordinate who will occasionally hand you some food, so you don't want to run away, are you willing to let yourself be eaten?" Xia Zhaoyi asked back.

Qian Qianqian paused and looked at her.

Xia Zhaoyi looked back, shook her head and said, "Forget it, I told you, I don't want to interfere in your way, you should follow your rules, I don't want to harm you."

Qian Qianqian was still a little stunned when he heard this for the first time.

........................

The wind was blowing, the top of the mountain was cold at night, and there was rain, and everyone was cold.

Bian Ba ​​Ye of Qianshan came back from the mountain. A rickety man came over to ask for food. He stopped at the other end of the stone bridge and did not dare to go on the bridge.

Hearing the voice, Aunt Fang instructed the girls next to them to deliver the wine first.

The eight or nine girls who were appointed to deliver wine on weekdays all looked uneasy, and hesitantly followed Liang to the wine cellar to get wine.

Holding two jars of small wine each, they stopped in front of the bridge.

It was very late, and the wind on the mountain would be strong at night, and the upside-down old pine tree looked more and more precarious under the lights of the bright cage on the top of the mountain.

No one dares to step forward for the girls, you look at me, I look at you.

The servants should not be able to see, and no one should make a sound.

Aunt Fang disappeared, not even Aunt Feng and Mrs Liang.

"What should I do..." Xiao Wu shivered from the wind, tightened his body and asked Xiao Rong.

No matter how steady Xiao Rong's performance was on weekdays, he was still only an eleven-year-old girl, with a pale complexion and shaking his head uneasily.

"If we were elected today, it wouldn't be like this." Xiao Wu couldn't help but still complained that Xiao Rong stopped her from raising her hand.

Xiaorong looked at the stone bridge: "Maybe, it won't collapse..."

The bridge body blown by the wind hummed lightly, and from time to time fine gravel stones fell down, and more of the fine sand in the cracks of the stone bridge was like fog.

"You said that the stone bridge will collapse?" Qian Qianqian asked in a low voice, leaning on the corner of the wall, looking at the stone bridge over there.

Xia Zhaoyi pinched a few times, going up and down, and peeling off the hexagrams in the mountains.

She raised her head to look at the oriental constellation, which was faint, but still hidden.

"Probably not." Xia Zhaoyi said.

Qian Qianqian looked back at her, he just asked casually, but when he saw Ali's serious answer, he couldn't help but say, "How do you know."

The mountain stripping hexagram is to stop with the trend. The main thing is to do it. If people go up, the bridge will collapse. If they don't go up, the bridge will be safe.

And this astrological sign means variable, the Lord is passive, and it is not up.

If not, you will be safe.

Seeing that Xia Zhaoyi didn't answer, Qian Qianqian turned his eyes back to the bridge and whispered, "The sisters in the same room as you seem to be about to cry."

Xia Zhaoyi paused and said, "Xiao Rong and Xiao Wu?"

"Well," Qian Qianqian nodded, "that little sister is very fierce and always likes to scold me."

Xia Zhaoyi curled her lips into a smile, but said nothing.

"What are you laughing at?" Qian Qianqian frowned.

"It's nothing." Xia Zhaoyi restrained her smile and looked up at the stars again.

Qian Qianqian looked back and looked at the courtyard: "Aunt Feng and Aunt Fang don't seem to be here."

"The Liang family shouldn't be here either." Xia Zhaoyi looked at the sky and said.

"How do you know?" Qian Qianqian really went to look for Liang's figure, and it seemed that there was indeed no one.

"Of course they have to avoid it. If they are here, these girls will let them decide to stay or stay. If something happens to the girl who crosses the bridge, they have to take responsibility. If you don't get addicted to alcohol, Aunt Feng and the others will still suffer."

"It turned out to be like this. Then they are hiding now. Don't Xiaowu and the others have to take responsibility for themselves."

"Ah."

"Then what should we do," Qian Qianqian said worriedly, "I'm afraid that if the eighth master and the others are angry, then Xiaowu and the others..."

"The law doesn't blame the crowd. There are many of them, and there is a shortage of people on the mountain, so nothing will happen."

"Then he will also be punished. The eighth master has a turbulent temperament. He doesn't care about the consequences if he can't drink alcohol. What should I do?"

Xia Zhaoyi kept raising her head to study the constellations, she blinked her eyes when she heard this, and turned to look at Qian Qianqian.

"That Bian Baye, can you do anything when you have a temper?" Xia Zhaoyi asked.

"Yes." Qian Qianqian nodded.

"Then what law does not blame the public, the lack of people on the mountain is empty talk." Xia Zhaoyi said again.

"Huh?" Qian Qianqian was puzzled.

Xia Zhaoyi rubbed her swollen ankles, stood up and said, "I owe Xiao Wu a favor. Tonight, I will pay her favor."
