Stage [Republic of China]

age. "

Westerners always count according to their first year of life.Although Shui Jiu was not used to it, she still considered Xu Jishan's mood, and said slowly: "When I was five years old, my mother passed away. No one remembers my birthday for me. I am the only one in the family."

"And your father?"

"Father?" Shui Jiu raised her eyebrows and sneered. "In addition to going to the opium hall, he is whoring.! Prostitutes. Don't remember my son!"

Xu Jishan was silent.After a while, he suddenly said: "In this way, you and I have a common situation."

Shui Jiu raised her eyelids and looked at him.

"You see, I never saw my mother when I was born. The things in my memory are all told by others. Until I found this small portrait when I was ten years old..."

Xu Jishan raised her hand.He now has his suit, waistcoat and shirt unbuttoned, and under his Adam's apple hangs the gold chain that Shui Jiu had seen before.

"As for you, Boss Shui, you lost your mother when you were five years old. Both of us are hard-working people! As the saying goes, both children lost their mothers, and the sorrow and joy are quite equal."

"Who is as sad and happy as you!" Xu Jishan's words caused great disgust in Shui Jiu's heart. "You have three brothers, and your family is very rich, so it's not like me! No one cares about the children, and they were sent directly to the theater troupe to sing."

"Indeed, you are more miserable." Xu Jishan seemed to not understand the sarcasm in his words at all, patted the back of his hand with her hand, and then carefully sat down on the cigarette couch and leaned against him, whispering: "From From now on, I will never let you suffer like this again.

Shui Jiu's heart trembled, and the suffocating feeling that his heart was being squeezed by someone's hand struck again.

"Don't worry," Xu Jishan said after a pause, "What I said to you tonight is from the bottom of my heart. And this scar is all because of you, Boss Shui."

"You were hacked, why did you blame me?" Shui Jiu pouted with his neck stuck out of conscience.

But Xu Jishan wasn't fooled, and didn't entangle with him, but said slowly and warmly: "You met an old friend that day, so what happened afterwards? Why did you come to Jingxi Mansion again?"

This is a long topic.

Shui Jiu thought for a while, skipped Ning Jimin's matter, and jumped directly to Jingxi Mansion. "Ah, I left the outskirts of Hebei that night. Later, after various twists and turns, I arrived at the gravel beach ferry of the Yellow River, where I mixed with a group of threshers and crossed the river to Jingxi."

Xu Jishan's professional identity as a micker is obviously very unfamiliar to Xu Jishan.He frowned thickly, and said hesitantly, "Didn't you say that the ferry of the Yellow River has been blocked? How can Damaike still be able to cross the river?"

Shui Jiu pursed her lips and smiled with a calm expression. "Of course ordinary thrashers can't cross the river, but this group happened to be mixed with the army."

"Oh," Xu Jishan understood most of it. "Then why didn't you come to find me after you crossed the river?"

"Ghost knows you are in Jingxi Mansion!" Shui Jiu pushed back firmly.

But this sentence obviously made Xu Jishan very happy.He suddenly burst out laughing. "That's right, my trip to Jingxi Mansion was originally an accident."

For a while, the two of them had exhausted their words, and there was a lot of noise in the smoke hall, and the smoke lamp was dimly lit, and the light was very dim.But when Shui Jiu slowly turned his eyes to look at the person beside him, his whole heart suddenly settled down.

"I also know that Boss Shui is in various embarrassments for you." Xu Jishan didn't notice it, and she seemed to want to be miserable, but also seemed to want to be good. "Well, anyway, everything in the past was just smoke and dust. Now that you and I met again in Jingxi Mansion, I don't think you should do it, the guy in the water store?"

This sentence is not good.

"What do you care about me?" Shui Jiu thought of Mr. Zeng who was raising him as a bird in a cage, and immediately raised his eyebrows, a pair of clear and phoenix eyes shone coldly.

Xu Jishan couldn't help but laugh. "You are always oppressed in that shop, you work hard and you don't make much money, why not..."

"It's better to be raised by you?" Shui Jiu gritted her teeth and sneered. "Who do you think I am? Huh?"

"When you are the one on top of your heart." Xu Jishan raised his hand.

The two hands pressed together on Xu Jishan's heart.Bang, bang, bang, Xu Jishan's heart was beating fast, strong and powerful.

The author says:

Note: Huang Jingren's poem "He Rongfu" in the Qing Dynasty: "The two children lost their parents, and the sorrow and joy are quite equal." Xu Jishan changed a word

41, 41

◎"I really want to come with you once."◎

The words have come to this point, which is more or less like mixing oil with honey.

Shui Jiu didn't expect that one day he would really open up to another person, a man.Not long after, Xu Jishan took him out of the opium hall, not wanting the gold watch, and took him back to the Japanese-style courtyard on foot.

"I didn't expect Mr. Xu to be so poor." Shui Jiu sneered.

It was already dark at that time, about eleven o'clock at night.Xu Jishan smiled awkwardly. "It's really my fault, I didn't bring any money when I came out."

Shui Jiu was slightly panting. "I can't walk."

He stopped, and Xu Jishan followed him.

"How good is that?"

For a while, both of them were worried.There are neither rickshaws on the street, nor any means of transportation.

"Then..." Xu Jishan thought for a while, then suddenly said, "I'll carry you behind my back."

"Pooh!"

"You can't walk, and it will take half an hour to go home. If you don't carry you, how can you walk?"

Shui Jiu was embarrassed to say that the sentence just now that he couldn't walk was originally out of temper.Now he was blocked by Xu Jishan's quick words, but he was a little angry, so he blushed and said: "You go ahead, I will follow slowly."

"Huh? That's not acceptable." Xu Jishan took his hand and said with a low smile: "It's an agreement, we will always be together in this lifetime."

This sentence "together together for a lifetime" is full of seriousness.

Shui Jiu was taken aback for a moment, but Xu Jishan took his hand and walked slowly along the streets and alleys of Jingxi Mansion with him.

It wasn't that Shui Jiu couldn't walk, she felt a little embarrassed being held by Xu Jishan, and tried to pull her hand back. "No problem, you go first, I will follow behind."

Xu Jishan turned her head to look at him, with a serious expression on her face. "Every word I said to Boss Shui is true."

Shui Jiu felt suffocated in her heart, her water chestnut lips parted slightly, and the feeling of suffocation came again.

The night was not very clear, and the moon was covered by clouds.The two of them walked back and forth in this alley, but there was actually a kind of endless darkness.Shui Jiu was silent for a while, and suddenly said with emotion: "Oh, I didn't know that the world could be in such a mess."

"This world has always been chaotic." Xu Jishan said indifferently: "The difference is nothing more than personal circumstances."

This sentence does make sense.

Shui Jiu was silent.

It was slightly cold in the moonlight, and Shui Jiu unconsciously shivered with her arms folded as she walked.Xu Jishan was keenly aware immediately, took off the soot gray woolen suit, and covered Shui Jiu.

Shui Jiu raised his head.There was a distance of about ten centimeters between him and Xu Jishan, so Xu Jishan looked down at him tenderly and smiled with a deep voice. "Don't freeze."

It was only four words, but Shui Jiu suddenly felt awkward again, her ears were red and her face was hot.Wearing Xu Jishan's suit jacket, he looked like a different person.

Xu Jishan didn't realize this at all, so she took his hand and walked like a car. "Turn this alley and you will be there."

Shui Jiu hummed lightly.In fact, he can only utter this word, the back of the ear is really hot, it's too hot!

The two had just reached the entrance of the alley when there was a sudden bang, and then huge fireworks burst into the sky.

Shui Jiu was startled, subconsciously looked up.

Xu Jishan also raised her head, her thick eyebrows slightly frowned.

"What day is today?"

Xu Jishan shook her head. "I don't know. It's not a year, what's the point of setting off a salute?"

The voice fell, and there was a bang, and another pile of fireworks exploded.It had just rained a few days ago, and the fireworks were diffused in the night, and seemed to be filled with mist, which vaguely looked like the seaside port city of Hebei.

Sporadic raindrops fell suddenly.

Shui Jiu was taken aback. "It's raining."

He raised his hand to catch the rain, and Xu Jishan looked at the back of his white hand fluttering in the rain, like a fluttering butterfly.

Xu Jishan couldn't help laughing lowly. "No, where is it raining?"

As he said that, he also imitated Shui Jiu's appearance, with one hand flying in the night sky, and then he also felt the rain.

"No, it's really raining. Run!"

He took Shui Jiu's hand and ran quickly in the night without any explanation.Shui Jiu was caught off guard, let out an ah, and was pulled forward by him.

Running and running, the rain fell completely, crackling, and the raindrops drenched the two of them completely.Xu Jishan pulled him and laughed out loud in the rainstorm.

About 10 minutes later, the two rushed to the gate of Xu's house.This is a small second floor of a typical Meiji style. The western-style building at the front looks like a simple Japanese building from a distance through the corridor.In front of the western-style building hangs a signboard of "Xu Zhai" with dark purple background and snow-white text. Two wall lamps are dimly lit at the door, but it is very warm.

Shui Jiu stepped on the gravel road paved with cobblestones, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion. "Mr. Xu is really a fastidious person."

"Hey?" Xu Jishan didn't have time to hook up with him, so he slapped the iron door vigorously with his hands, until he heard the butler's answer from inside, then he turned his head and smiled at Shui Jiu: "Now is not the time to be particular, hurry home, let's soak first a hot bath."

Shui Jiu looked at him and couldn't help but also smiled faintly. "good."

After the two of them entered Xu's house, they really looked like drowned rats.Xu Jishan was afraid that he would catch a cold, so she gave the butler a few words and then turned her head away. "The guest room is on the second floor of the Japanese Pavilion, if you wash with me..."

"No!" Shui Jiuli
