Chapter 122 Half-year appointment
Jiaojiao looked at the token in her palm curiously and puzzled, looked at Master and said, "Master, why did you give me this?"
Rong Yan stood up and patted the dust, and said, "I'm leaving in a few days, and the return date is uncertain. You take this self-defense to protect yourself."
Jiaojiao was stunned, she looked at the token in her hand, and then at Master, the joyful mood just now was lost in an instant, and mist gushed out of her eyes.
The friends I just met are gone in an instant.
Jiaojiao raised her head reluctantly, grabbed the master's robe with her small fleshy hands, and said aggrievedly: "Master, don't you live in the temple with your hair to practice? Monks are not allowed to run around."
Seeing her crying, Rong Yan wanted to laugh and felt distressed at the same time. He scratched the tip of her nose with his fingertips, and said with a smile on purpose: "It's not that you won't come back, why are you still crying? It's the first time I saw you cry, um, it's not pretty."
"You are not sincere!"
Jiaojiao turned her back to him angrily when she heard this, she pursed her mouth and stopped talking, and raised her hand to wipe her tears with her sleeve.
She asked him something, but he didn't answer, and she got angry.
Bai Miaomiao hurriedly spoke to appease her: "Jiaojiao, don't cry, this guy is gone and Ben Miao will accompany you, you forgot that you still have your parents, brothers and sisters at home, we have so many people accompanying you , you are not alone at all."
Jiaojiao shook her head, big and big tears rolled down her cheeks, it was different.
Family is different from friends.
In front of her parents, brothers and sisters, she is a spoiled person. Everyone protects, loves and spoils her, and she obediently listens to everyone.
However, she is not like this in front of the master. When she is unhappy, she will play a small temper. In front of him, she seems to be not afraid of anything.
You don’t need to rack your brains to come up with the perfect explanation for things that give Master space, even if you make up one, he won’t ask too much. When he broke into his carriage, he didn’t bother to ask her if she was good or bad, so he protected her. Today he doubted his identity, but he didn't ask the truth, instead he told her to be vigilant against the bad guys, and gave him a token to defend himself...
Where did Rong Yan ever comfort a crying baby? In the past, he was upset when he heard crying, and he didn't want to see a crying woman.
Seeing people like this, Rong Yan pinched the center of his brows, and found a reason to coax him: "Baojiao, didn't you say that I am an official, an official can't stay in the temple all the time, I need to go to the office to deal with things , and will come back when it’s done.”
Bai Miaomiao was also worried about Jiaojiao, so she echoed, "That's right, the land of Jin is vast and dry, but the roads have not been repaired in many places, and some humans do need a month or two to travel. Go for several months."
Jiaojiao sniffed when she heard it, obviously she had listened, and turned around after a while, looked at Rong Yan with red eyes, and asked in a waxy voice: "Then when will you come back?"
Looking at her small appearance, Rong Yan couldn't bear to be deceived. He knelt down and held her little hand, and said with a smile, "When you are taller, can read and write, and stop crying."
"I can read and write now, and I will be seven years old in the Chinese New Year, and I can stop crying right now." Jiaojiao said softly with a nasal voice.
There was a smile in Rong Yan's eyes, and he raised his hand to wipe the tears on her cheeks, and said softly: "Then we made an agreement for half a year, and I will come here to look for you after half a year."
His body looks fine on the surface, and his internal strength can be used normally, but there are many lesions inside, and his body support has reached the limit. The pill is only enough for half a year, so that's why he said half a year.
Master Bu travels all over the world, and he is still looking for medicine for his body, so he can't live up to it. Half a year is not long or short.
Rong Yan shook his head, this little guy is only six years old and probably doesn't remember anything, maybe he will be forgotten by then.
Jiaojiao didn't know what was going on in his mind, she just looked at him eagerly, and asked expectantly: "Half a year is too long, Master, can you come back and see him every other month."
Brother came back only once in seven days and she felt that she missed her, and she felt that January was a long time.
Rong Yan stroked her hair, smiled and continued to coax: "If the place to go is far away, it will take a month or two just to travel, so half a year is still less, and some officials and their families have moved for more than ten years and have not returned. "
After hearing about it for more than ten years, Jiaojiao pursed her lips and said nothing. Although she was reluctant to give up, she knew she couldn't keep Master.
"Then, half a year is half a year."
There was a little disappointment in the delicate and soft voice.
"Okay, then let's talk about it, Baojiao, I will give you something as a souvenir, do you have anything for me to commemorate?"
Rong Yan snapped his fingers, and purposely took a closer look at Jiaojiao.
Jiaojiao pouted dissatisfiedly, looked at his magnified face, and whispered: "I don't know that Master is going to leave, so how can I prepare a gift."
Rong Yan was choked by these words, and nodded with a low smile, "Speaking of it this way, it's really my mistake, so let's do it tomorrow. I'll come to Baojiao at this time tomorrow."
"Father, sister, and the others are going to town today, and they will definitely not go tomorrow. I can't buy gifts." Jiaojiao shook her little head.
"Forget it then." Rong Yan sighed deliberately disappointed.
Jiaojiao saw him like this, hesitated to speak, paused before whispering: "I will prepare it, come and get it the day before Master leaves."
Rong Yan smiled, and he knew that this little girl would not be soft.
"Well, I will also have a gift for Baojiao at that time."
Although Jiaojiao was curious, she didn't ask.
Because he was leaving, Rong Yan was not in a hurry to leave, so he stayed and chatted with the little girl for a while.
Bai Miaomiao took the opportunity to go down to the top of the mountain and report to Liu Zhihua again.
But, after all, I haven't seen Guaibao for a long time. Liu Zhihua's house is almost cleaned up. After simply pouring out the miscellaneous water for washing, he scooped up two scoops of clean water and washed his hands. After wiping his hands, he got up and went to the backyard to see people.
Seeing this, Bai Miaomiao ran up to talk to Jiaojiao as fast as she could.
"Jiaojiao is in trouble, your mother is going to the backyard right now!"
Jiaojiao panicked when she heard that, she hurriedly got up and hugged Bai Miaomiao before going down the mountain.
Rong Yan saw the hurried appearance of the two of them, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Jiaojiao suddenly stopped in her tracks, turned her head and said apologetically, "Master, I didn't tell my mother when I came out. My mother will soon find out, I have to go!"
After finishing speaking, Jiaojiao left with Miaomiao in her arms.
Rong Yan looked at her panicked back, raised his hand to summon a hidden guard to take back these things on the ground first, and he followed the little guy and silently escorted him down the mountain.
…
Jiaojiao and Miaomiao ran down the mountain all the way, Jiaojiao didn't find Rong Yan behind the scenes because she was anxious, Rong Yan glanced at the courtyard of Wang's house, watched a person and a cat enter the back door, and then left.
Jiaojiao just entered the backyard and met her mother, Liu Zhihua saw that Guaibao hadn't run around, so she smiled and went to the kitchen to serve sugar water.
Seeing that Mother was gone, Jiaojiao patted her small chest and let out a sigh of relief, "Huh~ It's so scary, thanks to Meow Meow."
