Riding the Pheonix Chapter 658: Lakeside
The turmoil over Tang Xi's marriage took more than a full month to subside.
And these have nothing to do with Mingwei.
She gets up late and goes to bed early every day, eating and drinking, and is extremely comfortable.
The Tang family doesn't care about her now, or they don't want to talk to her, and just let her live happily alone.
Mingwei tried to do her duty as a disciple, but she was stopped several times when she wanted to see the old lady.
In this case, why should she bother others?
In April, Yidu enters the rainy season.
Mingwei opened the window and saw the continuous rain outside, so he asked the two maids: "How about we go on a boat trip?"
"Now?" Xue Ying opened her eyes wide, "Miss Mingqi, it's raining!"
“We only need to go on a cruise when it rains!” Ming smiled and said, “Isn’t it nice to have a boat listening to the rain?”
"..." Xueying is a normal person and cannot appreciate such crazy behavior. However, since he was assigned to serve Miss Mingqi, he just needs to be obedient.
Haiyan thought of a question.
Miss Mingqi is not a guest. Master, will you let me go out?
She hesitated to speak, but Mingwei saw it and said with a smile: "Go and ask."
Haiyan breathed a sigh of relief and replied: "Yes."
Not long after, Haiyan came back and told Snow Parrot: "Take care of it."
This means being able to go out.
So the two of them packed what they should bring and followed Mingwei out.
In the meantime, someone called Ji Xiaowu, but it turned out that the boy was sleeping and refused to get up.
Mingwei took two maids with him, and Shi Shiran left the Tang Mansion through the corner gate and went to the river holding an umbrella.
On a rainy day, business was hard to do. When the boatman heard that she wanted to rent a boat, he was so happy that he gave her a large pot of cherries.
Mingwei sat in the boat with the two maids, listening to the rain and eating cherries.
After eating to her heart's content, she rinsed her mouth and hands, and took out her flute.
The sound of the flute was accompanied by the sound of rain, and the boat slid into the large lake in the center of Yidu City.
It was misty and rainy, and a **** crossed the lake.
There was a woman standing in the pavilion at the end of the embankment.
The snow parrot opened the cabin door and looked at the man, wondering: "It's raining, what is this man doing standing there?"
At this moment, there was an intermittent cry.
Haiyan said: "Look, she seems to be holding a child in her hands."
The two maids looked over and saw a baby in the woman's arms.
The snow parrot is even stranger: "Why do you want to bring the child here? It can't be..."
The two looked at each other and shouted at the same time: "Boatman, get over there quickly!"
After shouting, Xueying realized that there was still someone on the boat, and said hurriedly: "Miss Mingqi, that person is weird, let's go and take a look, okay?"
Mingwei had stopped playing the flute at this time and looked towards the other side of the embankment.
The woman was dressed in cloth and was very thin. The baby in her arms was crying intermittently, and her little hands and feet struggled out of the swaddling clothes from time to time.
But she remained motionless, like a statue.
"Do you suspect that she is going to throw away the child?"
"Yes!" Snow Parrot said, "It's raining, no one will come to the big lake to play, and she doesn't look like someone who can play."
Haiyan agreed: "The child looks very small, maybe not even a month old yet. Who would take it out and play with it?"
The two said in unison: "Miss Mingqi, save him!"
Mingwei sighed: "Then go."
The boat is getting closer and closer to the embankment, but Mingwei’s brows are getting tighter and tighter.
She has a strange feeling...
Before the boat arrived, the snow parrot called out: "Look, someone is coming!"
Mingwei looked in the direction she pointed, and her heart suddenly sank.
The man was dressed in a gray robe, fluttering in the wind, as if he would ride the wind back in the next moment.
He walked towards the other side of the embankment, seemingly very slowly, but in the blink of an eye he arrived at the Lake View Pavilion.
The woman turned back suddenly and shouted: "Don't come over!"
The man in gray stopped.
The boat was getting closer, and they could clearly see the situation in the pavilion.
The woman appeared to be in her early twenties, wearing blue cloth clothes and a cloth scarf wrapped around her head. His appearance was excellent, but his expression was very haggard. At this time, she was holding the baby in her arms, looking very excited.
The snow parrot said "yeah", pinched Haiyan's hand, and said nervously: "She won't throw the child out, will she?"
Mingwei said nothing and stared at the situation in the pavilion.
The man in gray sighed, stretched out his hand to her, and said softly: "Don't be afraid, give me the child."
The boat turned a corner, and the three of them saw clearly the appearance of the man in gray. The snow parrot took a breath and exclaimed: "His face..."
The man in gray clothes looked about forty years old, his hair was mixed with silver threads, and there was a large scar on his left cheek, which looked very scary.
Mingwei suddenly grabbed the flute in his hand.
The snow parrot and the petrel are chatting quietly.
"What is their relationship?"
"Is this person a bad person if he wants her to hand over her child?"
"It doesn't look like it to me. Although this uncle looks scary, he has a very good temperament. Look..."
"But, they are so weird like this. Do you think this child was born to this sister-in-law? Doesn't she look like a confinement child in the way she is dressed?"
"It seems like..."
"Since it was her, why did you carry her to the lake on a rainy day? Aren't you afraid that the baby would catch cold?"
"Yes."
"This uncle is also weird. Who is he? Husband and wife don't look like husband and wife, and father and daughter don't even look like father and daughter..."
Mingwei's mind had already flown far away. She looked at the man in gray motionlessly, engraving his appearance in her heart bit by bit. Then he went to see the woman and the child in her arms...
How could this happen? What happened?
The woman grabbed the child in her arms and stared at him nervously: "Don't come over, don't come over..."
The man in gray said softly: "Okay, I won't go there. ~IndoMTL.com~ Be careful, kid, the rain is coming in. Come over here, okay?"
The woman lowered her head, and raindrops drifted into the pavilion and fell on the child's face.
She hesitated for a moment and slowly took a step forward.
In this way, the rain will not reach the children.
The man in gray stared at her closely and continued to say softly: "It's noon, haven't you eaten yet? Let's go eat first, okay?"
There was a trace of confusion in the woman's eyes, and she repeated: "Eat?"
"Yes, eat. People need to eat when they are hungry. Even if you don't eat, your children will also need to eat..."
The child in his arms cried loudly as if in response to his words.
The man in gray had a loving expression on his ferocious face: "A Liu, you see she is hungry."
"Hungry," the woman murmured again, lowering her head and looking at the child rolling his tongue, as if remembering something, "Yes, the child is hungry, he needs to be fed..."
"That's right," the man in gray continued, "Go back quickly, it's time to breastfeed the child."
"Go back..." the woman chanted and raised her steps.
"No!" She suddenly stopped and held the baby's hand extra hard, causing the baby to cry.
"A Liu!" I don't know if it was because of the child's cry, but the man in gray shouted louder.
This seemed to stimulate the woman. She backed away suddenly, leaned against the pavilion pillar, and held the child tightly in her arms: "No, I can't go back, devil, all devil!"
She looked down at the child, with a twisted look of fear on her face, and held the child's hand harder and harder, as if it was such a terrifying thing.
"Death, everyone must die..."
"A Liu!"
The woman turned around and jumped out with all her strength.
