Crying While Filling the Pit I Dug - Chapter 7
Seeing Ling Qianyi pick up a few small stones and put them in the palm of his hand, Song Miaomiao gestured to him comfortingly, then immediately turned her head to watch the movement ahead.
The waiter boy was slowly searching this way, getting closer and closer, and Ling Qianyi was also ready to attack.
“Not here,” the waiter turned his back to Song Miaomiao and shouted to the lady boss.
“Not here either,” cried the cook.
“Look for her in Old Wang’s place next door,” the lady boss ordered.
With that, the three of them left the backyard.
Song Miaomiao breathed a sigh of relief.
Ling Qianyi threw down the stones in his hand and said embarrassedly, “Don’t be afraid. I’m all to blame for this. I used the stone to strike the lady boss’ acupuncture point, which hurt you.”
Song Miaomiao quickly shook her head. How could he be blamed for it? It was out of kindness that he helped her out.
“Is your life here so… hard?”
Song Miaomiao nodded and took the opportunity to act pitiful and cute for the male lead. She had heard that gentlemen couldn’t stand the pitiful eyes of girls.
Sure enough, Ling Qianyi was defeated by her eyes, hesitatingly said, “You… you can come with me.”
Suddenly his voice became firm, “Don’t worry! I will do my best to protect you!”
Song Miaomiao nodded excitedly.
Ling Qianyi looked at her, his voice a little uncertain, “Are you so happy to go with me?”
Nonsense, I can’t complete the mission if I don’t follow you! If I can’t complete the mission, I won’t be able to return to the original world! It will be over!
Song Miaomiao quietly led Ling Qianyi to the corner of the firewood room, pulled out a broken brick from the wall, and took out all the copper coins she had saved for three years. The money was the occasional tips she usually got. Of course, they were all hidden behind the lady boss’ back. She worked and was busy from morning to night every day, but the lady boss would not give her a penny.
Song Miaomiao usually lived in a firewood house and used hay to make quilts. If the scene were set in the 22nd century, it would be so sad to make the audience cry. One could imagine how difficult it had been for Song Miaomiao in the past three years. She wrapped the other two pieces of clothes in rags, went to the kitchen and secretly took a few steamed buns, a small bag of rice and pancakes, and a small iron kettle with holes in it, and followed Ling Qianyi to the martial world (Jianghu).
—————————
It was one of the few details that Song Miaomiao remembered from the story. When she wrote the novel, in order to highlight how miserable the male lead was, she wrote that he ate and slept in the open.
The water that got into her head when she wrote the novel back then became the tears that she shed then.
On the way, Song Miaomiao changed one of her old clothes into Ling Qianyi’s clothes. Although Song Miaomiao was a girl and Ling Qianyi was a little boy, she, who was mute, usually wore coarse linen clothes. So there were no skirts to wear, they were all dusty anyway.
On that day, Song Miaomiao saw the real appearance of the male lead Ling Qianyi in her novel for the first time. Ever since Song Miaomiao and Ling Qianyi met in the cowshed for the first time, his face was muddy, and the clothes he wore were also muddy. Song Miaomiao knew that it wasn’t because Ling Qianyi didn’t like to be clean, but because he had suffered too much during his escape.
When Song Miaomiao pointed at a small stream and asked Ling Qianyi to take a bath and change clothes, he refused at first. Until Song Miaomiao took advantage of his inattention and ran into the river and splashed water on Ling Qianyi’s body. Anyway, his clothes were also wet, so Ling Qianyi just took a bath.
But after he bathed and changed into clean clothes, his face was still black and muddy.
Song Miaomiao touched her face, tilted her head to express a question mark, meaning: Why didn’t you wash your face?
Ling Qianyi lowered his head, saying, “I, I’ll let it be like this, what if someone recognizes me on the way?”
It turned out that he was afraid that people would recognize him! This kid was really smart! He was worthy of being the male lead in her novel! He knew how to hide himself at a young age.
Seeing that Song Miaomiao was wandering again, Ling Qianyi thought she didn’t understand. So he mustered up the courage to briefly mention his life experience to her, “My family…my family was all surrounded by a group of masked people…” Ling Qianyi unconsciously teared up, “…killed.”
Seeing that he was so sad, Song Miaomiao hurriedly wiped away his tears. During this period of time with Ling Qianyi, she personally experienced his pain and difficulties. The plot she wrote casually had become his life experience. This… This was all her fault!
Ling Qianyi continued to choke with sobs, “My mother hid me under the bed, so I escaped. I don’t know who the murderer is, but I can’t take it lightly.”
Ling Qianyi clenched his fists, “So, I want to go to Wanshan Sect to learn from a master. Wanshan Sect is the largest martial arts sect today. Firstly, I can go there to seek shelter. Ordinary thieves have no courage to challenge Wanshan Sect. Secondly, I want to go there to learn martial arts well and find the enemy, and take revenge for my family.”
Song Miaomiao could not comfort the male lead but could only accompany him. She gently embraced Ling Qianyi. After getting along these days, Ling Qianyi would no longer resist having physical contact with Song Miaomiao. The first time Song Miaomiao hugged his leg, his whole body got stiff.
After Ling Qianyi calmed down, Song Miaomiao dipped the cloth strips left over, then she made the clothes smaller and gently wiped off the mud on Ling Qianyi’s face. She didn’t deliberately force the male lead to show his face; the main reason was that Ling Qianyi cried a while ago, and his whole face became more ugly. The tears mixed with black mud even ran into his eyes, so he couldn’t do without washing.
A childish face with red eyes, and although the facial features had not yet been totally cleaned, it could still be seen that the handsome boy’s little face was fully displayed in front of her.
