Chapter 22 The out-of-control fourth cousin
With adults watching over the luggage at home, Xie Lingjiao and the others can go out and play freely.
However, sister Xiaocao wanted to accompany the second uncle and did not go out with them; and the third sister did not know what she was busy with, so she rejected Xie Lingjiao's invitation to go out with a serious face.
"Oh, third sister, you are busy with your business."
Xie Lingjiao's disappointment was written on her face.
The third cousin, who was already busy, instantly softened her heart.
Xie Lingjiao: "Then I will go eat with Xiao Chi and the others. What a pity. I think you will like that roast chicken soon, Third Sister."
So, it’s okay if she doesn’t have to go?
Xie Qionghua took back his foot to go out.
"Have fun."
"I will, Third Sister."
Xie Lingjiao turned around.
We found a delicious restaurant and had breakfast.
While eating, he expressed his concerns to his younger brother: "What should I do, Xiaochi, I think the third sister doesn't want to play with me after she becomes smarter."
In the past, everyone in the family had their own things to do, and only the third sister could play everywhere with her.
But now the third sister also has her own affairs.
Will she be the only one with nothing to do from now on?
Xie Lingjiao was worried: "Xiao Chi, should I find something to do in the future?"
"Sister, haven't you been digging for medicinal materials?"
Xie Chi put down his chopsticks and comforted his sister: "If you are too lonely alone, I can accompany you in the future."
How can that work?
The younger brothers all have to study.
Everyone says that you have to study to be successful. What future can you get by following her digging in the soil?
"Alas..." Xie Lingjiao sighed, "Let's forget it. After we move, maybe we can make other friends to play with."
She thought so.
But Xie Chi knew that almost all women of the same age as his sister were married, so the possibility of playing with her was not high.
"Yeah."
Xie Chi didn't want to make his sister unhappy and planned to resolve the matter before the move was completed.
At this time, he comforted his sister: "Sister, you are so good, you will definitely make friends quickly."
"Yeah, right!"
Xie Lingjiao thought so too.
After the two of them finished eating, they went to the academy together.
Women are not allowed to enter the academy.
Xie Lingjiao had never gone in before, and of course she didn't have the intention. Just thinking about the people inside reading made her head hurt.
Even if she could get in, she didn't want to.
But today she felt a little bored, thinking that she had never heard the gossip in the academy before, so she took her younger brother's hand and went in to find her eldest brother with him.
The two of them had a smooth journey.
Even the most stern and rigid master in the academy passed by and did not scold him for being "inappropriate".
Xie Chi tilted his head and looked at his sister thoughtfully.
Got inside.
Xie Lingjiao didn't hear any gossip, but she heard the sound of reading in her head.
Headache.
Xie Lingjiao covered her head and said, "What should I do, Xiaochi? My head hurts."
Xie Chi was already prepared for this.
He took out two small balls of cotton and asked his sister to bend down and plug her ears.
"How's it going? Does it still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt anymore!"
Xie Lingjiao was very happy, hugging her brother and kissing her little face: "Xiao Chi is awesome, so smart! What would I do without your sister~~"
fine.
Not very smart either.
The tips of Xie Chi's ears were red, and he held his sister's hand and walked to the door of Tianban.
"Brother is studying here."
There are still classes inside.
Xie Lingjiao asked her younger brother to take her around the academy, "I heard that Xiaoqi and the others can also teach horse riding and archery! It's great, they don't have to walk anymore after they learn how to go out!"
She was envious.
Xie Chi: "If sister wants to learn, you can ask brother to teach you."
"Then shall we buy a pony? Is it expensive? Do I have enough money?"
"That's enough, but good horses don't circulate in the market. If you want to buy one, sister, you can ask your brother to inquire first."
Most of the families who can study in academies are in good condition.
Buying a horse shouldn't be difficult. "Xiao Chi, do you want it? If you can meet the right one, can my sister buy you a pony?"
"Yeah! The cost of living in the county is much higher! When I have free time, I have to dig something in the mountains!"
"Fortunately, there are many mountains at this time, and there are many medicinal materials in the mountains, otherwise I would be a beggar..."
she chirped.
As he spoke, he suddenly stopped.
Somewhat excitedly, he turned around and looked toward the east-north direction.
"Xiao Chi, someone is fighting!"
The words just fell.
A strong pull led Xie Chi to the crime scene quickly.
The destination is quite far away.
The two siblings ran further and further away, and the further they ran, the less likely they were to see anyone.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Crack!"
As soon as she got closer, Xie Lingjiao heard a loud smashing sound.
But the strange thing is that no one screamed.
Isn't it a fight?
Xie Lingjiao looked at the high wall and fell into deep thought: How to climb up? It’s not enough to just listen to it without watching it!
He lowered his head and looked at his brother.
Only nine years old.
He's so small, it would be so pitiful if he stepped on his shoulder!
"Sister."
Xie Chi knew his sister very well and pointed to the right, "There is a door there, you can go through."
Then hurry up!
Xie Lingjiao ran over quickly, lay down at the door, skillfully unlocked the door, and pushed it open a small crack.
Stick your head out.
——Let me see, who is fighting?
Bright eyes carefully searched the yard.
Soon I found...the fourth cousin who was chopping wildly inside with a kitchen knife in his hand?
Xie Lingjiao:? ? ?
Xie Lingjiao:......
Xie Lingjiao:! ! !
For a moment, Xie Lingjiao felt complicated.
Eating melons affects one's own people, and this is something that has been known for eight hundred years.
Uninteresting.
Alas...
She shook her head in disappointment.
When I was about to go home, I found that the kitchen knife in my fourth cousin's hand was cracked!
Cracked! ! !
Is the fourth cousin so fierce?
Xie Lingjiao covered her little heart and patted it gently. When she stretched out her little head to look, the fourth cousin's eyes were red. He put his hands on the wall and smashed his head upwards wildly.
Xie Lingjiao:! ! !
This, this, this... don't the fourth cousins feel any pain?
It's bleeding!
If it were her, she would be rolling on the ground in pain!
——What's the matter, sister?
Xie Chi saw that his sister looked wrong and gently pulled off the corner of her clothes.
Xie Lingjiao's face was heavy and she moved away to let her brother see for himself.
Xie Chi looked inside - the fourth cousin was sick again?
He wasn't surprised at all.
Because as early as three years ago, he discovered this by accident.
Xie Chi guessed that his fourth cousin Xu was suffering from a serious disease that was difficult to treat, causing him constant headaches, and that was why he appeared so crazy and frightening.
"Fourth cousin, he..."
The fourth cousin is still crazy.
But Xie Lingjiao no longer wanted to see it.
She flattened her mouth and asked her brother with a little guilt: "Xiao Chi, is your fourth cousin sick?"
Without waiting for his brother's answer.
She thought to herself: "No wonder my fourth cousin has dark circles under his eyes all year round. Who can stand this?"
"Why didn't he tell me?"
"I can help..."
Speaking of this, she suddenly covered her mouth.
He looked around and found no one. He breathed a sigh of relief, covered his brother's ears, and whispered to him: "Xiao Chi, you didn't hear what I just said, did you?"
