Chapter 23 Xiao Zhao

Walking towards Heming City again, Li Qing’s footsteps are even slower, fifty silver taels are It was cash, and it was heavy on the body, slowing Li Qing’s footsteps. When Li Qing came to the city gate, it was already evening. The city gate was crowded with people, and Li Qing walked in with the flow of people.

Entering the city, Li Qing looked around with both eyes, and a familiar scene rushed over in an instant, and he barely stabilized his body.

Over the years, Li Qing has entered many cities, but none of them have turned Li Qing’s Divine Soul upside down like Heming City. Li Qing didn’t know how he moved to the door of his house in the city step by step, and didn’t know how he extended the hand to knock on the wooden door.

“peng~ peng~! ”

When the knock on the door collided from his hands, Li Qing took two steps back and looked towards the wooden door. wide awake.

“Xiao Zhao, are you still here?” Li Qing thought to himself.

“Maybe I’ve already passed away, maybe I’ve been married long ago, maybe I’m not married, I’ve found a man who already has children in the house, maybe maybe”

Li Qing regretted knocking on the door, he wanted to leave, but it was too late.

The door opened from the inside, revealing a woman in gray, with slight wrinkles on the corners of her brows and mouth, no makeup on her face, nearly forty years old, leaning against the door looking towards Li. Qing.

Although his face is no longer the same as before, Li Qing still recognized Xiao Zhao at a glance.

“Master?”

When Xiao Zhao who was in the door saw Li Qing for the first time and called out the sentence “Master,” Li Qing burst into tears, but his face was full of tears. Still smiling, he said, “Xiao Zhao, how have you been all these years?”

Xiao Zhao didn’t say a word, just leaned on the door and looked at Li Qing tremblingly, how many days of longing suddenly came true today, why? I was not happy at all.

Li Qing is far from what it used to be. How beautiful was Li Qing back then, sitting with the City Lord, no one knows the name of a hero, but now.

Because of the days On the way, Li Qing’s walking shoes have long been worn out, showing from the thumb to the heel. The coarse clothes are covered with dust and hard, and the hair on the top of his head has become a chicken coop. Even his face is gray and white. No one will believe that this is Li Yingying of the year, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is a beggar.

Xiao Zhao’s eyes were full of tears, what had happened to the master over the years, and why didn’t he even hear from him.

Li Qing saw Xiao Zhao burst into tears and said quickly: “Xiao Zhao, don’t cry, I’m just here to see you.”

Xiao Zhao remained silent, Li Qing at this moment He was moved, he didn’t expect that after so many years of separation, Xiao Zhao could still recognize him as soon as he met, and was willing to cry for himself, Li Qing said, “didn’t expect, after so many years of separation, you can still recognize me at a glance, Is your life going well?”

Li Qing finished asking this sentence, Xiao Zhao finally said: “I recognize the master even if he turns to ashes.”

This sentence Without any emotion, it made Li Qing the most sad.

Taking Li Qing into the house, Li Qing looked towards the house that was placed after the bandits were killed. The flowers and plants in the courtyard are lush, and the ground is extremely clean. There is a wooden basin for Xiao Zhao’s laundry beside the well in the courtyard. The kitchen is full of fireworks, and it seems that he is cooking. Li Qing sees no trace of anyone else.

“Xiao Zhao, are you alone?” Li Qing didn’t know what she was thinking when she asked this sentence.

“Xiao Zhao. Xiao Zhao has been waiting for the master.” Xiao Zhao looked towards Li Qing and said.

Li Qing didn’t ask any more questions, sat down on the bench in the courtyard, looked towards the red sunset that was falling on the horizon, and said nothing for a long time.

At night, Li Qing was sitting on the bed wearing his old clothes, and Xiao Zhao was washing his feet with his head down.

This scene reminded Li Qing of the past, but things have remained the same, but people have changed. Clothes that fit well in those days are very awkward to wear now. Back then, Xiao Zhao could wash a pair of feet. His face was cleaner than his face, and now he is brushing it with a brush. Li Qing’s feet, which have been on the soil for a long time, are also rougher than the pigskin.

“Xiao Zhao is enough, no need to wash.” Li Qing raised his feet and said.

In the evening, after washing her body, changing her clothes, and having dinner, Xiao Zhao brought a basin of water and insisted on washing Li Qing’s feet, but Li Qing did not refuse. But at this time, he couldn’t wash it off. I don’t know how many Xiao Zhao’s tears were mixed in the turbid water, and Li Qing’s feet were stinging and stinging.

Xiao Zhao took out the water without saying a word, and then walked in again.

“Master, let me comb your hair.” Xiao Zhao said with a wooden comb.

Li Qing sat nodded by the bed, and Xiao Zhao began to brush Li Qing up.

“Xiao Zhao, I.” Li Qing wanted to say something, but Xiao Zhao covered her mouth soon, as if she didn’t want Li Qing to say more, Li Qing didn’t say any more.

There is a mirror not far from the head of the bed, Li Qing looked towards the mirror at this moment, he sat leaning on the edge of the bed, Xiao Zhao stood behind him combing his hair. The comb is like a pen in Xiao Zhao’s hand, and every stroke is so serious, he writes out his full of lovesickness bit by bit.

He looked towards himself again, although he could still see a bit of his appearance, but.

There is no going back.

“Master, why are you so cruel.”

After a while, Xiao Zhao said, but Li Qing didn’t answer.

“Master, you make me think so hard.” Xiao Zhao buried his head on Li Qing’s shoulder at this time, the wooden comb in his hand did not go down, and his hands fell weakly to the sides, and tears soon burst into tears. Wet Li Qing’s clothes.

“oh!” Li Qing sighed.

I didn’t forget anything.

“Xiao Zhao, I.” Li Qing wanted to say something again, when Xiao Zhao asked again:

“Master, are you still leaving?”

“No, let’s go.” Li Qing looked around the house, turned around and hugged Xiao Zhao.

Xiao Zhao buried his head in Li Qing’s chest, Li Qing sniffed Xiao Zhao’s hair, and the two fell to the bed.

The candlelight flickered. This year, Xiao Zhao was just 37 years old. Years of worry, the sunflowers were exhausted. Li Qing was 45 years old.

On the second day, when Li Qing woke up, Xiao Zhao had already prepared the meal.

“Master, eat.” Xiao Zhao said.

“You’re still called the master?” Li Qing said with a smile.

“But if you’re not used to calling others, just call your master.” Xiao Zhao said again.

“That’s up to you.” Li Qing nodded.

Soon after the meal, there was a knock on the door of the house. Someone sent an invitation. Li Qing opened it and saw that it was an invitation from the City Lord. As soon as Li Qing came back, he immediately sent an invitation.

In the invitation, City Lord invited Li Qing to a banquet this evening. Li Qing did not refuse and went to City Lord’s Mansion alone in the evening.

Although she was wearing clean clothes, Li Qing’s face still made the guards at the gate of City Lord’s Mansion suspicious. Li Qing had to take out the invitation card before the guards could enter.

After entering, the location of the City Lord’s banquet has not changed, it is still in the garden, and the lotus flowers are still tender and pitiful after so many years.

But seeing Li Qing, City Lord was stunned for a moment. Li Qing was completely different back then, like two people.

Then, City Lord reacted and invited Li Qing to take a seat.
