(1) Night visit to Ouchi (1)

After staying in Jiezhou for five days, Bai Qi embarked on the road to return to the capital. At Bai Qi's insistence, Bai Yunfan did not send anyone to send Bai Qi back. In Bai Qi's words, he didn't want to feel like he was taken back.

With only Shi Wei and two subordinates beside him, four of them rode horses to the capital Liangcheng.

The land temple in the east of the capital Liangcheng is now very different. The dilapidated walls outside have been repaired, the weeds in the garden have been cleaned up, and the rooms inside have been renovated, looking like a place where people live.

Qingqing, who is one year older, now looks like a big girl. Although she is wearing ordinary clothes, she is no longer dressed as the wild boy. Qingqing, who has returned to the girl's home dress, can no longer hide the light brought by her youth.

It was still early this morning. The fire was raised in the kitchen. As soon as I cooked the porridge, I heard the tiger in the yard shouting: "All up, you lazy boys are not as good as a girl. If Brother Qi comes back and sees you like this, I will see if you are so embarrassed."

A humming and haha ​​sound came from the yard soon. This was the sound of friends starting to practice the momentum. Bai Qi left the secret book. Originally, Hu Zi and the others had asked him to find a teacher to learn to recognize words first, and then learn them back. Who would have thought that Qingqing was actually a literate girl? After Bai Qi left, Qingqing took the initiative to take on the task of teaching everyone to recognize words. He bought back books and ink from the street and taught everyone to recognize words in the temple. As for what Bai Qi left, of course, Qingqing looked at first, and then explained it to everyone after reading it. Fortunately, Bai Qi tried to write as simple and easy to understand when writing this thing, and Qingqing didn't seem to have any difficulties.

Although everyone had expressed doubts about Qingqing's literacy, she did not ask any questions after Qingqing's excuse.

Qingqing has now become the leader of this group of children. Bai Qi was brought back by Qingqing, and later she was the one who taught everyone to read. Every day, in addition to getting up early to cook and wash clothes for everyone, she also led everyone to run an inn in Luohuafang. Bai Qi left more than 3,000 taels of silver, and even if they were allowed to sit and eat, they could resist for a few years. However, Qingqing said that we can't sit and eat the whole country, so we used 2,000 taels of silver to get a plate of inn.

Every day, Qingqing made breakfast and washed her clothes, and rushed to the inn. In fact, Qingqing and Huzi didn’t have to live in this land temple now, but Qingqing insisted on not moving. In Qingqing’s words, we have moved. Where can Brother Qi come to find us in the future? The little girl didn’t move, and others also stayed there. Except for two people staying in the inn to see the shop every day, everyone else still lives here. For this, Qingqing also spent money to rebuild the temple.

At the beginning, Hu Zi and the others insisted on helping Qingqing do this and that, but Qingqing said everything and went back to the yard to practice martial arts. "Is Brother Qi so easy to learn? People can look at us and give us money and teach us skills. Why don't you learn well? In the future, how can you see Brother Qi have the right to meet Brother Qi? Washing and cooking is a woman's business. You should practice your skills well. If Brother Qi uses you in the future, you can have a chance to repay you, right?"

Since then, no one has said anything anymore. Qingqing, who seems to be the youngest, has gradually become the leader in everyone's mind. Qingqing takes all the big ideas in the plan. In fact, Qingqing himself knows very well that he will be 17 years old after the New Year. One year is enough for a girl's family to evolve from a little girl to a big girl. In this world, many 17-year-old girls are already children's mothers.

As usual, Qingqing prepared the food and put it on the stove to heat it. She came to the yard and watched her friends take action and start washing everyone's clothes by the well. Under Qingqing's stubbornness, the only thing the friends could do was to make the water early, and then just set up a large pot by the well to boil the hot water and soak the clothes, and dare not do anything else.

The hour of practice was over, and it was already dawn. Several youngest children went to school after breakfast. This was what Qingqing insisted on. Other older children also had to go to the inn to do things after dinner.

Finally, I washed all my clothes. Qingqing knocked her a little sore waist. As soon as she stood up, she felt dizzy in her head. After shaking it, she felt that someone was holding her from behind.

"I'm fine, you guys hurry up and go to the store to raise your doorstep, I'll be there in a while." Qingqing closed her eyes and said without looking back that she always feels like this when she stands up for a long time, and Qingqing is also afraid that everyone will take it to heart.

"I haven't seen you for a year, little girl, you have become a big girl." A strange and familiar voice sounded, not loud, but it sounded like thunder in Qingqing's ears. Qingqing was so shocked that she didn't dare to turn around, for fear that she had heard it wrong.

Qingqing suddenly felt her heart beating faster. In the quiet morning, she could clearly hear her little heart beating. Qingqing repeatedly told herself that nothing had happened, and that she must have heard it wrong. But Qingqing could clearly feel that the person who was holding her should be much taller than her, because she could feel that the heat emitted by the other party's breath was uploaded from the top of her head.

"Qingqing, aren't you really sick? Why don't I take you to see the doctor?"

In fact, Bai Qi recognized Qingqing as soon as he came in. Just as he was about to go up to speak, he saw the girl shaking and falling down. He quickly stepped forward to support her. Unexpectedly, Qingqing still closed her eyes after hearing what she said. Bai Qi really thought she was sick.

Last night, he rushed to the capital and settled in the inn. The first thing Bai Qi thought of was this group of children whose fate was similar to his previous life. He got up early in the morning to see them. When Bai Qi saw the newly repaired temple, he knew that they were doing well and felt much more at ease.

When Qingqing heard Bai Qi's second sentence, she bit her tongue with her teeth and made sure she was correct. Qingqing opened her eyes. Bai Qi's smile that had appeared countless times in her dream clearly appeared in front of Qingqing, and everything was real.

Although Qingqing kept telling herself not to be excited just now, so as not to make jokes in front of Bai Qi, when Bai Qi's smile came into Qingqing's eyes, Qingqing's eyes still blurred unscrupulously, and teardrops as big as beans surged out uncontrollably.

With a "Wow!", Qingqing turned around, hugged Bai Qi and cried bitterly.

Bai Qi really didn't have much experience in dealing with such a situation, so he had to stand at a loss and wait until the little girl cried enough before saying something else.

"Okay, okay, stop crying, you should be happy when you meet." Bai Qi finally squeezed out a sentence and reached out to pat Qingqing's back.

Before Qingqing could stop, Bai Qi heard a low crying sound from behind. When he turned around, he found that Hu Zi and the others were already standing there, each with tears in his eyes, and some had already started crying.

"This, what did you say, how come you cry when you meet." Bai Qi tried to make himself smile, although his nose began to feel sore at this time.

"Brother Seven!" The group of children rushed up together in tears.

The capital Liangcheng ushered in another night, and the lights in the palace were lit early. Today is the queen's birthday. Li Liying, who has always been simple, just asked someone to hold a few banquets in the palace. There were not many guests invited, only the sworn brothers who fought with Xue Yiran, Su Yuncheng, Bai Qiwei, Ye Zhuifeng, and their respective wives.

Since seeing her daughter back from Meishan, Li Liying has been in a bad mood and has a gloomy face all day long. The first thing she did when she came back was to take Bai Qi's mother into the palace. Although Xue Yiran didn't understand this, she didn't say much.

After Li Liying came back, she was so nervous about finding Bai Qi. She asked Xue Yiran about this when she saw Xue Yiran almost every day for two months, and Xue Yiran could only force Bai Qiwei a few times every day.

There are women and men, and after the banquet, several sworn brothers were kept. Everyone has a rare opportunity to drink and have fun. Rights are often the source of alienation.

The only thing that made Xue Yiran happy was that Bai and Su, who had been having a fierce fight, have been particularly relaxed recently. Everything has been discussed, and there was a peaceful scene inside and outside the court. In fact, Xue Yiran knew the reason clearly. This situation caused by Bai Qi also increased Xue Yiran's urgency to see Bai Qi.

As the spies kept spreading back what Bai Qi did outside, Xue Yiran looked at Bai Qi more and more. A illegitimate child actually made such a noise. It was really a great person. It was a shame to marry his daughter to him by these things. What's more, everyone who has seen Bai Qi's talent, such as Mr. Zhou, Liu Yuxin and others, praised Bai Qi. Of course, there was an objective fact, that is, the pot of raw rice in his daughter had made Bai Qi cooked rice. Seeing that Su Yuncheng and Bai Qiwei were smiling now, Xue Yiran couldn't help but guess whether Su Yuncheng is the same as himself, worried that the pot of raw rice in his home would be cooked?

It was getting late, and the women had not left behind and wanted to go home. It seemed that these people would stay for the night today. The four brothers sat around and talked. At this time, a middle-aged man in Xuanyi hurriedly came into the study, lowered his head and his ears and muttered a few words in Xue Yiran's ear. Xue Yiran's face changed slightly when he heard this. Then he nodded to the man in Xuanyi.
