Stop and give you a pocket watch!

Chapter 23

Xu Shiqiu's hands and feet were very nimble, and it didn't take long for Chai Lin's wounds to be treated with medicine. Sure enough, as Xiaodouzi said, the effect was good, and it was slightly refreshing. Although the pain was still faint, it was bearable.

"Mr. Xu is really talented." He couldn't help but say.

There was a smile on the corner of Xu Shiqiu's lips, and he said: "If you brought two monkey-like children with you, you would also have this kind of talent. Thank you very much today, if I don't meet you, I'm afraid he will suffer today , Xiaodouzi is a female character, with a weak nature and no defense against others, which is really worrying."

Chailin sat up, a little curious, seeing why Xiaodouzi lived here before he was old enough to take the stage, so he asked, "Does he live here on weekdays? Does your master not care?"

"Master passed away the year before last..." Xu Shiqiu lowered his eyes and packed away bottles and cans, and said in a flat tone: "At that time, the brothers who were learning art together all sought their own way out, and the younger children only had Xiaodouzi and Shitou. , there is no one in the family anymore, and I have no ability to work, if you don’t follow me, are you going to drive them to the street to beg for food?”

Chailin fell silent.

Xu Shiqiu glanced at him and said, "I haven't asked your honorable name yet."

Chai Lin hurriedly said: "Miangui, his surname is Chai, and his single name is Lin."

Xu Shiqiu nodded, and said: "I don't need to introduce you, I think Xiaodouzi has already told you all about his family along the way."

Chai Lin was a little embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Actually, Xiaodouzi didn't say much."

Xu Shiqiu glanced at him and said, "Really? Then how do you know my surname is Xu?"

"Boss Xu's name, I'm afraid there are not many people who don't know it now..." He scratched his head and said: "Actually, I have met Boss Xu before, but it was only a one-time relationship. People were driven out."

"Oh? What are you talking about..." Xu Shiqiu looked at him and raised his eyebrows.

Chai Lin had no choice but to blush and recount what happened that night. He stumbled and was very disturbed, and he tried his best to talk too much in his heart.

After he finished speaking, he took a sneak peek and saw that the person opposite was suppressing a smile, his face was flushed, but he was more lively than before, and he looked a lot closer.

"Look at your clothes, you shouldn't be someone who can't afford the money, why would you come to watch the show?"

Chai Lin was helpless, and said: "I came out in a hurry that day and didn't bring any money, and then I followed the crowd, and I somehow entered the garden, and then I saw you appearing... It was really not intentional."

Xu Shiqiu curled his mouth, pushed a porcelain bottle over, and said, "Take this bottle of medicine back. You were seriously injured, but luckily you didn't hurt your bones. You'll be fine after ten and a half months of training."

He tapped his fingers on the table, and asked intentionally or unintentionally: "If you remember to bring money next time, will you come to praise me?"

How could he understand... Chai Lin thought.But since someone asked, I had no choice but to reply out of politeness: "Of course I will go."

After sitting for a while, chatting some gossip, seeing that it was getting late, Chai Lin couldn't sit still because of his rough heart, so he got up to say goodbye, and Xu Shiqiu sent him out. There is no other expression, cold like a white plum blossom in the severe winter, but it can't be seen from a distance, and it's beautiful, but it can't get close, and it's hard to find a common topic.

When he was about to go out, Xu Shiqiu suddenly stopped and called him, "Master Chai."

Chai Lin had already stepped out of the door, and turned his head when he heard the voice, Xu Shiqiu took two or three steps away from him, took out something from his sleeve and threw it over, Chai Lin grabbed it instinctively, and heard him say: "You If you want to listen to an opera in the future, just show this to the people watching the garden."

Chai Lin was in a daze and couldn't react. Xu Shiqiu had already stretched out his hand to close the door. There was a foreign car guarding the door not far away. He opened his palm after sitting on it. There was a small wooden sign lying in the palm, which had a faint fragrance. It smells very similar to the incense in his house. A pear blossom is engraved on the front and the word Xu is written on the back.

Xiaodouzi here has already practiced his skills, and rushed into the house running and jumping, yelling that he is hungry.A young man followed behind him, much stronger than him, a head taller, standing by the door with a dark face and not making a sound.

Xu Shiqiu was holding a small teapot, glanced at the two of them, and lazily said: "Hungry? I wasted my whole afternoon for your trouble, and I will punish you for this alone, little stone, tell me." , how to punish him."

Little Shitou didn't even look at Xiaodouzi, and said in a deep voice, "Senior Brother, I think he's in good spirits, and it won't hurt if he misses a meal. He's hungry, so he can save himself from running around outside! Introduce some dubious people."

"Who are you talking about?" Little Douzi turned around abruptly, and gave him a sharp gouging look. Little Shitou immediately lost his life, bit his lip and remained silent.

Xu Shiqiu smiled and said: "I have to go to the market tonight, Shitou is right. You go and cook, remember to be one less person today."

Shi Shi was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect his angry words to be confirmed. Xiaodouzi stared at him angrily with puffed cheeks, his eyes were red, Xu Shiqiu didn't look at them, he turned his back and ordered: "Xiaodouzi also go to help, Be quick!"

Xiaodouzi glared at Xiaoshi angrily, then turned and ran away.Xiao Shitou hesitated for a moment, regretting it in his heart, but his senior brother had already spoken, and he would plead for mercy again according to his temper, fearing that the punishment would be more severe, so he had no choice but to go out step by step with a sullen face.

Xiaodouzi was lighting a fire in the stove, and wiped his eyes from time to time. Going out by himself today was a fight with someone, because yesterday he said 'I can't do anything without you'.

He came to show it to him determinedly, not wanting to take a breath of bad luck, but now in the eyes of others, he was already shocked and ashamed, but now he took a sour breath and gritted his teeth in hatred.

Little Shitou walked into the kitchen door, opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but the words twitched in his throat a few times and didn't know how to get out, so he walked over clumsily, squatted beside him, grabbed a handful of firewood, and found nothing to say. Said: "You don't like cleanliness the most, but you also dislike the smoke... I'll do the rough work."

Xiaodouzi threw the firewood on the ground, stood up and left, rolled up his sleeves, went to the water tank to scoop up water and prepared to wash the rice. Little Shitou saw that he was not interested in ignoring him, so he pulled the bellows a few times, then leaned over there again, and took a look. Seeing that there wasn't much rice in the pot, he said, "There's not enough to eat."

"Why not enough, you and senior brother are more than enough." Xiaodouzi threw out a sentence with a sullen face, and stirred the rice bowl twice with his hands, making a splash of water.The little stone was hit in the face by the spray, and he wiped it quickly, and the little bean slammed the basin on the table, went out with the vegetable basket and sat on the threshold, with his back to him.

Little Stone looked at him, then secretly scooped another bowl of rice from the rice jar and poured it in.

When Chailin arrived home, Xiao Bai had already returned, and even Old Baitou had returned. The family had just eaten, and the warm aroma of food could still be smelled in the air, but no one was there.

Chailin sighed in his heart, he had no appetite, he just felt empty in his heart, and went upstairs with the porcelain bottle in his pocket, Xiaobai was sitting on the bed, when he heard the door ring, he stood up and jumped off the bed, and the one who rushed over to cover his head and face was After a fit, he said: "Second young master has a good temper now, the Bai family can't hold you anymore, since there is room outside, why are you coming back!"

He had been waiting since he got home, wanting to have a good talk with Chailin. He was very worried about the family affairs, but he couldn't think of a way to do it. He didn't get angry with him on purpose today.But the more I waited, the more irritable I became. The guilt at the beginning gradually faded away, and finally turned into anger...

Okay, now I'm getting more and more tempered, last time I just slammed the door and left when I was upset, this time it's even better, I don't even go home!

He was blocked at the door by him, his throat was dry, he swallowed, and he could barely make a sound, his voice was a little hoarse, and said: "Brother, are you trying to drive me away?"

My body started to hurt again, and the effect of the medicine wore off really quickly.

Xiaobai glanced at him mockingly, his anger subsided a little, replaced by a little suspicion, and asked, "What have you been doing outside for so long?"

Chai Lin raised his arm, shook the small bottle of medicinal wine in front of Xiao Bai's eyes, and said with a forced smile, "I found a place to take care of my injuries, and it's inconvenient to come back. Let godfather know that we went there today, and you To be trained..."

Xiaobai was right when he thought about it, and his anger became less, but he still couldn't help complaining, saying: "Where to go to a precious place, it took so long..." He sniffled, and said: "What does it smell like, it smells good .”

Chai Lin smiled and said, "It smells like medicine. It smells so good. Brother, can I come in?"

Xiaobai sideways to get out of the way, Chai Lin squeezed through the door, went straight to the bathroom, and said, "I'll wash first."

Xiao Bai didn't say a word, he was a little surprised, but more of it was surprise and fear, he clearly remembered that he was not seriously injured... Why now, it seems that it is not the case at all.It was probably because the house in the factory was too dark, and he was angry at the time, so he didn't see it too clearly. If he had known, he should have gone to the doctor with him.I don't know if the clinic this kid is looking for is not authentic, don't ask a Mongolian doctor to prescribe medicine blindly, and it will delay you when you come back...

It's better to wait until the old man is not at home and secretly call a reliable doctor to come to see him again.

After entering the bathroom, Chailin seemed to have been sucked clean of all the bones in his whole body. He was so weak that he wished he could fall to the ground and form a pile. His body was burning with pain. He slowly took off his clothes and put his nose Duan smelled it, the very mild aroma was ordered by Xu Shiqiu...

It's really strange that such a cold person would like such a taste.

He smiled, threw the clothes into the basin and filled the water.

After taking care of himself and his clothes, he came out slowly. Xiaobai sat on the bed, holding the small porcelain bottle he brought back, with an impatient face, he patted the mattress and said, "This thing is Do you want to put it on for a massage?"

Chai Lin didn't know what he was going to do, so he nodded foolishly and said, "Yes..."

Xiao Baibai glanced at him, and said awkwardly: "Then why don't you hurry up and lie down, and wait for me to invite you?"

Is this... to help him rub the medicine? !

Chai Lin was flattered and hurriedly said, "No...no need, I'll just do it myself."

Xiaobai looked him up and down, and sneered, "Are you a gibbon?"
