Chapter 109 Mountain Cherry
Pei Ji hugged Rong'er and lay there for a while.
The feeling of holding a real person in my arms gradually diluted the sense of emptiness in the dream.
Even if this person is a fake.
He stroked Rong'er's long hair, imagining that it was Jiaojiaoer, and whispered, "Come, get up and go out for a walk with me."
Rong'er raised her face from his arms and advised, "Second Master, your injuries haven't fully healed yet. Walking will only make them worse. Rest for a few more days."
Pei Ji didn't say anything, just stared at her, his eyes gradually turning colder.
Rong'er's heart skipped a beat, knowing that she had said something wrong and had upset him. She panicked and said, "Second Master, please don't be angry. I, I won't say anything more..."
She became more and more timid because Pei Ji's eyes became colder, as if she was about to be kicked down in the next moment.
In her panic, she suddenly had an idea and quickly adjusted her eyes, following Pei Ji's instructions, to the look he liked.
Sure enough, his expression gradually softened.
Rong'er breathed a sigh of relief, not daring to say anything more, and stood up with him.
The weather had been getting cold these past two days, and Pei Ji was only wearing a single shirt. Rong'er was afraid that he would catch a cold again, so she bravely took out a robe and put it on him.
Pei Ji was no longer angry. He took her hand and walked outside, standing under the eaves.
The sky is gloomy.
Most of the flowers and plants in the yard are also bare.
Rong'er looked at Pei Ji.
Seeing him looking at the most conspicuous short bare tree, I couldn't help but ask, "Second Master, what kind of tree is that?"
Pei Ji said, "Mountain cherry."
Rong'er went to look at the bare tree again and asked curiously, "What is a mountain cherry? I've never heard of it or seen one. Will it bloom?"
Pei Ji's eyes remained fixed. "Of course you haven't seen it. I brought it all the way from Yanzhou. It was very beautiful when in bloom, and she loved it the most. It's a pity that only one of them survived, and now it's past the season, so she won't be able to see it anymore."
He mentioned that person again. Rong'er was really curious, but she didn't dare to ask too much. She just secretly decided that her favorite flower in the future would be mountain cherry, and she would use more flowers.
At this time, the servant outside led someone in.
The man, holding half a pig in one hand and a large, bulging brown paper bag in the other, saw Pei Ji standing under the eaves of the front hall from a distance and called out with a smile, "Brother Pei!"
Pei Ji came back to his senses and responded, "Brother Qi."
The person who came was Qi Chuan. He strode over, looked Pei Ji up and down, and said with a smile: "My good brother, you look much better now. You can even walk around now."
Pei Ji smiled and cheered up, saying, "I have to thank Brother Qi for sending me back in time. I was able to recover so quickly. But, Brother Qi, why are you holding half a pig?"
Qi Chuan smiled and said, "This is for your health. I don't have anything good here, but I happened to run into a butcher today and bought half a fan." He looked at the servant standing beside him and said, "Hey, kid, stand still."
After saying this, he exerted force and threw the half-wild boar meat onto the boy's shoulders.
Although the servant had already taken up horse stance, the half piece of pork still made him stagger forward. Fortunately, Qichuan grabbed the back of his neck and pulled back the lapels of his shirt so that he did not fall down.
Rong'er couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh.
Qichuan glanced at her.
He hadn't paid much attention to her, but when he saw her, he couldn't take his eyes off her for a moment.
Rong'er quickly stopped smiling and hid behind Pei Ji.
Seeing this, Qi Chuan realized that his action was really abrupt, and hurriedly explained to Pei Ji: "Brother Pei, don't misunderstand me, I didn't mean anything else, I just thought she looked familiar, so I took a few more glances at her."
Pei Ji was unhappy and didn't really believe his words. He smiled faintly and said, "Brother Qi, why bother saying more? If you like, I can give you one. But this one won't work. I still have use for her eyes."
Qi Chuan was a sincere person to begin with. Seeing that Pei Ji didn't believe him, he immediately said anxiously, "I really don't like her. I just think she looks like my elder sister... Not too much, just her eyes and her smile are like my elder sister's. That's why I took a closer look. Brother, please don't misunderstand me."
Pei Ji thought of his life story. He had been looking for his elder sister for so many years. When he suddenly saw someone who looked like his elder sister, he would indeed be distracted.
He nodded: "I see. I thought Brother Qi had finally come to his senses. What a pity."
Seeing that he finally believed him, Qi Chuan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Brother Pei, let me ask you one more question. Is this girl's mother still alive? What's her name and what does she look like?"
Pei Ji knew that he still wanted to find his elder sister, so he said to Rong'er, "Come here and give a proper reply to Master Qi's words."
Rong'er had no choice but to stand out from behind Pei Ji and bow before saying, "My mother has been gone for a long time. I can no longer remember what she looked like. As for her name, I don't know it in full. I only heard people mention it as Liu."
"Liu..."
Qichuan sighed in disappointment.
Not my elder sister.
