C57 (2/2)
Xu Shiqiu's words were not only meant for Cui Hua, even Xu Jun and Xu Jie who were sitting on the carriage could hear him, and he was also saying this to the brothers.
Seeing Cui Hua frowning and deep in thought, Xu Jun and Xu Jie who was on the carriage did not say a word, and did not bring up the matter again, but looked at Dong Shu and said: ”It's good to enter the town, let your husband take a walk, the scenery in the town is not many, but it is different from Xiahe Village.”
”Yeah, I've been to town once since I was a child, and this is the second time.” Dong Shu said as she looked outside.
Seeing her actions, Xu Shiqiu immediately lifted the curtain of the Mule Cart, allowing her to see it more clearly.
Due to Xu Shiqiu's pampering, Dong Shu finally had a chance to see the scenery different from her Xiahe Village.
She saw the bun house that Cousin had told her about, the rouge shop that did not have a good price, and the restaurant that Cousin had worked in before.
Dong Shu watched very seriously while Xu Shiqiu also watched in fascination.
Xu Shiqiu felt that every single expression on his own Young Girl's face was exceptionally enticing. From the expression on his own Young Girl's face, he could even guess what she had seen.
Just when Xu Shiqiu smelled the fragrance of the food and wanted to ask Dong Shu if he was hungry, he suddenly discovered a person that should not have appeared in the town out of the corner of his eyes.
”Third Brother, Fourth Brother, you two move the Mule Cart closer to that restaurant.” After Xu Shiqiu said this to Xu Jun who was driving the Mule Cart, he looked at Dong Shu who was beside him and consoled him, ”My wife, I'm afraid that I won't be able to accompany you to stroll around anymore today.”
At first, Dong Shu was still a little confused about what was going on with Xu Shiqiu, but when the Mule Cart approached the restaurant, Xu Shiqiu looked outside and called out to a young man who was surrounded by four robust men: ”Shuo'er, why are you here?”
Perhaps the young man who stood beside the Mule Cart did not expect to hear such a familiar voice. After trembling in fear, he turned to look at the Mule Cart who had made such a sound.
”Third Uncle, why are you out!” After Ye Shuo said this in surprise, his originally proud, rooster like shoulders immediately drooped down. He glanced at Xu Shiqiu, then replied unwillingly: ”Yes mother, Mother told me to come find Third Uncle, it was just that I just arrived at the coastal town last night, and was originally prepared to play Xiahe Village for two days before meeting my grandmother and Third Uncle. Who would have known that I would meet Third Uncle here today?”
After saying this, Ye Shuo looked at Xu Shiqiu and asked again, ”So Third Uncle, why are you out today?”
Ye Shuo looked at the moment Xu Shiqiu had finished speaking, and the four able-bodied men who had surrounded Ye Shuo earlier had also arrived beside the Mule Cart. They cupped their fists towards Xu Shiqiu and said in unison, ”Third Young Master.”
Only after recognizing that these four men were military personnel that his father had specially selected when his sister had gotten married did Xu Shiqiu finally believe that Ye Shuo had listened to his sister's life and came to find him.
However …
”Ye Shuo, since your mother told you to come find me, why are you still thinking of playing around in the town for a few days?” Xu Shiqiu looked at Ye Shuo who asked this, and saw that he was avoiding his gaze, so he hurriedly continued: ”Come up to the Mule Cart s, first come with me to pay respects to your grandmother.”
After saying this to Ye Shuo, Xu Shiqiu then looked towards the oldest of the four men and said: ”I'll have to trouble you to pack up Shuo'er's bow and bring it along with you to the Xiahe Village.”
”Don't worry, Third Young Master.” After the man saw Xu Shiqiu reply, he looked towards the two men behind him and said: ”You two follow to 'protect' Second Master.”
”Puchi.” The moment the man's voice fell, Dong Shu, who was sitting inside the Mule Cart, could not hold back and laughed out loud.
Hearing the laughter, Ye Shuo's eyes suddenly lit up, he extended his head and looked towards the Mule Cart.
Seeing his disrespectful actions, Xu Shiqiu immediately snorted coldly: ”Hmph, why aren't you moving when I told you to get on the car? Do you want me to invite you over?”
Upon hearing Xu Shiqiu's words, how could Ye Shuo dare to delay any further. Not only did he not care about the man who had to 'protect' him, he also did not dare say much as he climbed onto the Mule Cart.
The Mule Cart was not big, it was fine to be seated on Xu Shiqiu, Dong Shu and Cui Hua, but now that Ye Shuo had entered, it was a little crowded, and in the end Cui Hua could only come out of the Mule Cart and sit on the carriage. As for Xu Jun and Xu Jie, the two brothers could only get off the car and talk to the two men beside the Mule Cart.
Dong Shu could guess from the conversation between Xu Shiqiu and Xu Shiqiu that he was his sister's son, but when Ye Shuo sat on the Mule Cart, he did not look like Xu Shiqiu at all.
If one were to say how much his nephew resembled his uncle, why didn't Ye Shuo resemble his three uncles?
