Chapter 33 Liars
On the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, Gu Qingya cooked a few meals, worshiped the ancestors in the hall, and burned a small stack of paper money, and the ancestral hall did not go there.

Moreover, the clan has special people to watch the ancestral hall, and there are public places for sacrifices, so Gu Qingya doesn't have to worry about these. Now she is waiting for Yan Qinghe to come back for lunch. Someone asked him to go out to play in the morning.

"Is anyone home?" Suddenly someone asked at the door.

Gu Qingya went out and saw that it was a strange boy, she couldn't help but frowned, "You are? What's the matter?"

"This is Yan Qinghe's house, right? Are you Yan Qinghe's older sister?" The boy sized up Gu Qingya, then looked into the room, vaguely seeing two younger children.

Gu Qingya did not answer this question directly, and continued to ask: "Who are you?"

"It's like this. Yan Qinghe went to the street to play and fight with people. He accidentally smashed all the wine tanks of our shopkeeper. Now he is detained by our shopkeeper. Our shopkeeper said that if you don't take the money to pay, you won't be fine." let go."

When Gu Qingya heard this, she was a little dumbfounded, what's going on, Yan Qinghe was fighting with someone?And he was going out to play in the morning and didn't say where he was going. Did he really run into the city?

"Sister, what's wrong, brother?" Yan Qingcha saw that Gu Qingya had been talking to people at the door, and vaguely heard what happened to Yan Qinghe, so she came out to ask about the situation.

"Where's your lord? Hurry up and take the money and follow me to redeem him!" the young man urged in a hasty tone.

"What redemption? Sister, what's going on? Is there something wrong with my brother, you should find a way to find your mother, I'll take care of it at home." Yan Qingcha also knew that Gu Qingya had no money, so she jumped her feet anxiously , Let her hurry to find her parents.

Being urged by Yan Qingcha, it is strange that Gu Qingya is not in a hurry. She thinks that it is better to ask more carefully about this kind of matter, especially this young man is still very nervous. It is not common for this kind of report to be reported. Acquaintance?Besides, the people who asked Yan Qinghe to go out to play, wouldn't all be arrested, right?
The more she thought about it, the calmer Gu Qingya became, and she stopped panicking. She said to Yan Qingcha: "Go in, I will handle this matter."

Yan Qingcha was a little reluctant, but obediently entered the house.

"Which street is your shopkeeper's shop on? I'll find you later and I'll find it? Also, how much money will it take to redeem him?" Gu Qingya said one by one without being in a hurry. asked.

The young man rolled his eyes, "It's at the Rusong Restaurant on the other side of Ping'an Street. You can ask anyone on the street and they will know. It costs five taels of silver, which is already discounted."

"That's fine," Gu Qingya nodded, "I know the place, I think you have to inform other people, and I also need to ask the adults for money, time is tight, so I won't say more."

The young man was stunned, Gu Qingya's reaction was a bit unexpected to him, she was so calm, she didn't know how to proceed.

"That's fine, I'll meet you later at the big camphor tree outside the entrance of the village." The boy turned and left after getting Gu Qingya's affirmative answer.

Gu Qingya waited until she could no longer see the boy's shadow, then immediately turned around and closed the door, and the latch was not enough, so she moved a chair to support it.

Yan Qingcha was surprised to see Gu Qingya closing all the doors tightly, "Sister, it's hot today, why are you closing the doors? Didn't that person just say something happened to my brother?" , are you going to find your parents?"

After Gu Qingya made sure that there were no omissions, she breathed a long sigh of relief, and asked without answering: "Do you think Qinghe is the kind who would fight with people on the street, and even break people's things and be detained?" ?”

Yan Qingcha understood, "Brother doesn't fight casually like other people. Sister, you mean that person just now is a liar?"

"Yes, I panicked when I heard it, but I figured it out later." Gu Qingya was only ten years old, and her first reaction when she heard this kind of thing was anxiety. Fortunately, her mind cleared up quickly. .

"But, what is there to lie about in our family? The family has no money." Yan Qingcha was puzzled.

"Why not? The three of us can sell for money." Gu Qingya pursed her lips, she didn't expect this kind of thing to happen to her, and she almost lost her mind.

"What? We can sell it for money?" Yan Qingcha pointed at himself and Yan Qingpu, who was sleeping in the cradle, with an incredulous tone.

"Of course, you'll know when you grow up." Gu Qingya didn't say much, because she was afraid of scaring Yan Qingcha, and now she was worried that this liar had an accomplice, and at the same time, he was going to lie to Yan Qinghe.

"Oh." Yan Qingcha didn't ask further, "When will that brother come back, I'm already hungry." Especially today there is a meat dish, which smells delicious.

"Wait." Gu Qingya was a little absent-minded, she didn't dare to open the door at this time, she was afraid that the man had accomplices, and if she robbed him by force, she would have nothing to do.

Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, and at this time, many people either go out to see relatives, or to watch the dragon boat, even if they don't go out, their homes are so far away, and they can't hear anything!

Thinking wildly like this, half an hour passed.

When Yan Qinghe came back, he saw that the doors and windows of his house were closed, and he felt strange. Before he went out, the eldest sister told him to go home early for dinner.

Looking around, Yan Qinghe found that the door was closed from the inside, he wondered what happened, to the extent that the doors and windows were closed tightly?
"Sister, sister, I am Qinghe, open the door!"

Gu Qingya in the room couldn't help cheering up when she heard the voice, it was Yan Qinghe, she hurriedly opened the door, and saw that Yan Qinghe had a lot of grass clippings on her body, and there were two baskets covered with large leaves at her feet, "You went up the mountain?"

"Yes!" Yan Qinghe said, bent over and carried the baskets into the room one by one, then went to the table and poured two bowls of water, and drank them down, "I'm thirsty."

Gu Qingya heaved a sigh of relief, it's good to go up the mountain, "I thought you went to play in the street."

"Wow, so red bayberry and peaches." Yan Qingcha's eyes lit up when he saw the basket, and he jumped over to look through it. Seeing the juicy fruit, he cried out happily.

"No, there's nothing interesting on the street. Chang You and I went up the mountain. We found a few bayberry and peach trees that hadn't been discovered before. We plan to take advantage of these few days to carry them back." Yan Qinghe said Then, he rubbed his belly, "Sister, I'm so hungry, I can eat."

Yan Qingcha took a bayberry and ate it, the juice dripped down her chin, she said inarticulately: "Brother, you don't know, someone came and said that you fought with people on the street and smashed their wine tanks Broken and detained, I want my sister to give you money to redeem you."

"What?" Yan Qinghe was shocked, and turned to look at Gu Qingya, no wonder the doors and windows of his house were closed when he came back, so there was such a factor.
