Xiao Qiao Flowing Water

Time flies, and it is time for Xiao Qiao to leave in a blink of an eye.Last night, the running water tossed and turned without sleeping all night, and I woke up exhausted the next day.She no longer went to the courtyard to practice Wuqinxi as in the past, but went to the kitchen to light a fire and cook.

Xiao Qiao woke up in a daze when she heard the sound of running water opening the door. After lying down for a while, she regained her composure and got up.Walking to the window and opening it, I was slightly surprised that there was no morning exercise in the running water today.Entering the kitchen, I saw Liushui sitting in front of the stove, in a daze, as if thinking about something, I didn't notice her coming in at all, and shouted: "Liushui" Seeing her recovering and turning to her, she saw that the fundus of her eyes was light blue and black, with The red bloodshot eyes showed that she didn't sleep last night, she sighed softly in her heart, and said again: "Morning."

When Liu Shui saw Xiao Qiao, he swallowed the words he had just thought up, said good morning, and added more firewood to the stove.

Xiao Qiao walked up to Liu Shui, "Go to the courtyard for morning exercises first, I'll do it."

Liu Shui raised his head to look at Xiao Qiao, his reaction seemed to be a little slow, and said: "Oh, oh", immediately got up and left the kitchen, came to the yard and stood there for a while, before reacting to Xiao Qiao's words just now.I was not in the mood for morning exercises, so I went to the main room to take out the medicine box, filled the medicine box with some homemade sore medicine and various first aid medicines, and stopped when I couldn't fit it. He hurried to the kitchen and shouted, "Little Qiao!"

Xiao Qiao was frying pickles, when she heard the sound, she stopped, looked at Liu Shui and said, "What's wrong?"

Liu Shui lowered his head and faltered, "I, I, I can accompany, accompany you..." His voice seemed to be getting lower and lower in his throat, and he suddenly raised his head again: "I mean, it's not safe for you to be a girl outside. You go home." As he spoke, he lowered his head again, and he couldn't even convince himself, not to mention that he was also a girl, and no one could bully Xiao Qiao with his martial arts skills. Want her to protect.

When Xiao Qiao saw this, the corners of her mouth curled up, and she only said "yes", then turned around and took the plate to serve the dishes.

Liu Shui heard that good word, and it took him a long time to react, the exhaustion on his face was swept away, his smile was bright, as if thinking of something, he said anxiously: "Oh, by the way, I will go to Sun Da and ask him to use an ox cart to drive Let's send it to the city, and we'll buy a carriage in the city before we go." Then he walked out.

Xiao Qiao realized that she hadn't washed in the running water yet, so she immediately said, "You wash first before going."

Liu Shui walked out quickly, and shouted: "I'll wash when I come back." The smoke disappeared in a flash.

Seeing this, Xiao Qiao laughed softly, and whispered: "Fool." She kept moving her hands, picked up the vegetables, rinsed the pot with water, poured the washed rice into it, and started cooking the porridge.

After a long time, the flowing water came back and shouted: "Xiao Qiao," and said: "It's done, Sun Dachen will come."

Xiao Qiao hummed, and said, "You wash up first, and eat later."

Liu Shui hummed, and went to fetch water to wash.

After breakfast, after washing the dishes and chopsticks with running water, I went to the room to pack my luggage. After packing up my luggage, I took out all the more than 200 taels of silver left at home, and took out a 100 taels of silver note and some broken silver in a purse. stand up.After tidying up, he went to Xiao Qiao's room.

"Little Qiao, take this, it will always come in handy." Liu Shui handed her the purse and said.

Xiao Qiao accepted the purse with a humming sound, saw the exquisite embroidery pattern on it, and said, "Who embroidered the butterfly love flower pattern for you?"

Liu Shui blushed slightly, hummed, and said, "Yes, I embroidered it myself. I made it from the fabric and thread left over from the last time you made the clothes. It's the first time you do it. You can make do with it." She didn't say anything else. Say it out, this is specially made for her, but I can't find a reason to give it to her.A person who usually only sews and mends, this embroidery is also the first time in her life.I had been watching Xiao Qiao embroidering clothes before, and then I practiced secretly at night, embroidering the butterfly love flower pattern over and over again for several months before I made a purse.

Xiao Qiao was slightly surprised, and said softly, "It's very beautiful."

"Ah?!" Liu Shui couldn't react for a while, and said again: "Oh, as long as you like it."

At this moment, only listening to Sun Da's voice in the courtyard, he said: "Sun Da is here, I'll go out first." Then he turned and went to the courtyard.

Seeing the flowing water coming out, Sun Da bowed and said, "Master."

Liu Shui hummed, "I'm sorry to trouble you today, let's have a cup of tea first."

"Thank you, master." Then he entered the door with the flowing water.

After tidying up, Liushui closed the doors and windows of the house, "I'll go and talk to Aunt Wang, you guys will wait."

Liu Shui went to Daniu's house, and shouted in the courtyard: "Auntie, is Auntie at home?"

Aunt Wang came out of the kitchen and said, "Yes, what's the matter with running water?"

Liu Shui Dao explained the purpose of coming, and handed the key to Aunt Wang, saying: "This key is with Auntie, please trouble Auntie."

Aunt Wang smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, you're going to Xiao Qiao's house to propose marriage this time, right? It's a big deal."

Liu Shui blushed, wanted to refute, but gave up after thinking about it, but he hesitated and hummed for a long time.Aunt Wang saw that Liu Shui was thin-skinned, so she didn't say anything anymore, she just told her to pay attention to safety on the road, and when she went to propose a marriage, she had prepared a proper gift, and the etiquette cannot be ignored.Liu Shui nodded in agreement, and after saying goodbye, he set off with Xiao Qiao.

At the gate of the city, Liu Shui gave Sun Da some money and told him to go back first.Liu Shui and Xiao Qiao went to the city to find an inn, and it was almost noon, so they ordered some food. Liu Shui hurriedly finished the lunch first, and said, "I'm full, you eat first, I'll go outside and buy a carriage."

Xiao Qiao hummed, and Liu Shui went out.After a long time, when the running water came back, the waiter at the inn stepped forward and said: "Hi, Miss Zhou booked two rooms just now, let you rest in the guest room first, she has some business to go out, she will come back later."

Liu Shui asked suspiciously: "Miss Zhou?" Suddenly remembered that Xiao Qiao's surname was Zhou, and said, "Oh." Then he handed over the reins in his hand to Xiao Er, and led him into the room.

"Guest officer, Miss Zhou's room is next door, so I'll go out first, and call me if I need anything," Xiaoer said.

Liu Shui hummed, and Xiao Er went out.Liu Shui sat in the room and waited for Xiao Qiao. He was bored for a while and felt sleepy, so he fell asleep lying on the table.In the dream, she dreamed that Xiao Qiao was calling her, and she answered in a daze. She was really tired and fell asleep again.

Xiao Qiao went to the red building, arranged some things, and returned to the inn without delay.When they arrived at the inn, Xiao Er told him that Liushui was already in the guest room, so Xiao Qiao went upstairs directly.After knocking on the door for a long time, seeing no one answered, she went in directly. Seeing Liu Shui lying on the table, falling asleep, she wanted to wake her up and go to sleep on the bed.Called a few times, saw the running water seemed to wake up in a daze, responded to her, and said softly: "Go to bed and sleep."

Liu Shui hummed, stood up in a daze, walked crookedly to the bed, touched it, fell down on the bed and fell asleep again.

Seeing this, Xiao Qiao chuckled, walked to the bed, took off Jiang Liushui's shoes and socks, helped her to lie down, and went to the table to read a book.

The running water woke up in a daze, stretched, turned around and saw Xiao Qiao sitting at the table, and said, "Little Qiao, you are back, what time is it?"

Xiao Qiao turned a page of the book and said calmly: "It's just passed the time of Xu."

"Ah?!" Liu Shui exclaimed, apologetic: "Sorry, I went to bed late and delayed your schedule."

Xiao Qiao put down her book and said, "It's all right, I planned to leave tomorrow." Xiao Qiao was not lying, she knew she didn't sleep well last night, so she specially booked two rooms after lunch, so that she could sleep well when she came back. Take a break and nourish your spirit.

At this time, the door knocked, and Xiaoer's voice sounded outside the door, "Guest officer, the meal has arrived."

"Come in." Xiao Qiao said.

Xiaoer put the food in order and said: "Guest officer, take it easy." Then he went out.

Xiao Qiao saw that Liu Shui was still sitting on the bed thinking about something, and said, "Liu Shui, get up and eat."

"Oh." Liu Shui reacted after hearing the words, and said while putting on his shoes, "I remember that I fell asleep on the table, why are you in bed now?" As if he had reacted, he said, "Little Qiao, it was you who helped me." Did I go to bed?"

Xiao Qiao took a mouthful of rice and said lightly, "No, you went to bed by yourself."

Liu Shui went to the table and sat down, picked up the chopsticks, poked his head, and said to himself, "Why don't I remember?"

Seeing this, the corners of Xiao Qiao's mouth curled up, and said, "Eat first, and think about it later."
