Chapter 14: Traveling Together
He had been waiting alone for six years for such a smile, and he had never taken one thing, one person to heart for so long before he met her. A thought arises, a glance for ten thousand years, from the moment he met her, he has long been unable to let go of her.
"The treatment is so good, can I apply to stay for a few more days?" Meng Ke smiled harmlessly.
"Yes, as long as you have money, you can live as long as you want, and it won't be a problem to settle here. Yi Yang walked to the door as he spoke, and Meng Ke saw this, and followed with a smile.
The pace of life in city B is very slow, there are few vehicles and pedestrians on the road, passing by from time to time, either the old man sits on the rattan chair and hums a small tune, or the children gather in groups to play together, the adults are busy at the same time have to speak and manage, to avoid accidents, the two have been walking along the bluestone road, not far to see a small river, the flowing water is murmuring, the smoke willow painting the bridge, the wind curtain green curtain, the spring light is just right.
He was curious about what her hometown was like, what kind of water and soil could cultivate such a temperament, on the surface she was weak and calm, but on the inside she was tough and stubborn, even if she was down in the turbid world, she was so arrogant and stubborn that people couldn't take their eyes off it.
The two walked leisurely on the road, and when they passed by a grocery stall, a chubby little hand suddenly grabbed the hem of Meng Ke's clothes, "Hmm, little friend, what's wrong with you?" He stopped, looked down and met a pair of big black eyes, it was a little girl of four or five years old, fair-skinned, with braids, so beautiful that she couldn't speak.
"Brother, you buy a wreath for this beautiful sister, you see you walking together without holding hands, she must be angry with you, when my grandma is angry with grandpa, she often ignores grandpa, and walks forward by herself, and then grandpa will make a garland by himself and secretly put it at the head of grandma's bed, and when you eat the next day, grandma will deliberately give grandpa a place next to her, and after a meal, they will be reconciled." The little girl shook the wreath in her hand with a smile.
"Little friend, that's what you say to everyone who passes by. Yi Yang took the garland in her hand and checked it repeatedly, "Look, your flowers are not fresh." ”
"No, I don't recommend those who are noisy and passing, and I have a big temper, because those brothers don't care about their girlfriends at all, so I won't help them reconcile. But this brother is different, not only is he good-looking, soft-spoken, but also has a good temper, and he is a very reliable person at first glance. ”
The smile on the corner of Meng Ke's mouth was undisguised, he glanced at the person who was almost petrified in the wind, the cunning in his eyes flashed, and he said helplessly, "Little friend, you have also seen it, this sister doesn't like this garland very much, even if I buy it, she won't accept it." ”
The little girl seemed to suddenly understand something, ran back to the stall, picked one intact from seven out of eight, and turned back to Yi Yang, "Sister, look at this, pear blossoms are braided, as white as snow, especially suitable for sister, and there is no damage at all, in order to weave this garland, I went to pick pear blossoms with my grandfather early in the morning, and my hands were scratched." The little girl said, revealing her band-aided hand and looking at Yi Yang pitifully.
Yi Yang touched her head, and finally couldn't help but surrender, "Okay, you're so powerful, if you don't buy it, you won't let us go." ”
"Great, sister, here you go. The little girl happily handed the wreath to Yi Yang.
Meng Ke looked at the two of them, one big and one small, and smiled even more, and took out a hundred pieces from his pocket and handed it to her, "Don't look for it, buy the rest for you to eat." ”
"I'll just say my brother is a good person. The little girl took the money, her mouth became sweeter, and she pulled Meng Ke's clothes, "Brother, you squat, I have something to tell you." ”
Meng Ke squatted down with a smile, the little girl leaned over and whispered in his ear, and didn't forget to glance at Yi Yang a few times while talking, Meng Ke's face became a little strange, but her eyes were full of smiles, and the little girl didn't forget to wink at the two of them naughtily before leaving.
"What a ghost. Meng Ke shook his head and continued to walk forward.
"She, what did she tell you?" Yi Yang played with the garland in his hand, and the fresh pear blossoms exuded a faint fragrance.
"You want to know?" Meng Ke turned his face sideways and smiled very mysteriously.
"Forget it, I don't want to know now. Yi Yang suddenly had an intuition, that little ghost must not have said anything good.
She said~ According to her personal test, the person standing next to me is a very kind and beautiful girl, so I must not give up. Meng Ke smiled gently, his bright eyes seemed to have countless sunshine shattered in the blue deep sea, dazzling.
"Children's families, what do you know, children's words are unscrupulous. Yi Yang's action of playing with the garland suddenly stopped, and at that moment, something hit her heart hard through her eardrum, and she had to speed up her steps to move forward.
Meng Ke was not annoyed, looking at the figure walking forward quickly, his expression was gentle and resolute, it was not easy to meet, how could he let go easily!
Yi Yang took Meng Ke to the bamboo building to eat wooden barrel rice. It is the Qingming season, there is an endless stream of people returning to their hometowns to sweep the tombs, the business of the bamboo building is booming, and even the few tables and chairs temporarily placed outside are also full, which is obviously not compatible with the perennial slow pace of life here.
"Do you want to wait?" Yi Yang tilted his head and asked Meng Ke in a low voice.
Meng Ke was a whole head taller than her, and when Yi Yang came over sideways, he was condescending, just enough to see her face, his eyebrows were clear, and his slender eyelashes were gently fanned, like the thin wings of a cicada, crossing the tip of his heart, and an indescribable beautiful moment swayed in his heart: "I heard that some people go to strange places and don't know what is delicious and fun, so they squeeze into crowded places." If you see a restaurant full of people, you will go to eat there, and if you see a stall that is full of people, you will go to which stall to buy food. Because people may be very different in other aspects, but when it comes to eating and playing, they are often different. ”
"You reply to me directly" to wait", it's okay, nine curves and eighteen bends are in such a big circle, and the central idea is scribbled two words. Yi Yang's mouth fell, but he ordered food with the boss with ease.
"Okay. The boss quickly wrote down the menu, and just wanted to beckon the two to sit down, but suddenly realized that there was no place, so he could only point to a table outside and say apologetically: "I'm sorry, I have to trouble you to stand and wait, that table should be ready to eat." ”
"It's okay boss, you're busy, let's stand and wait for a while. Meng Ke spoke understandingly.
"It's okay comrade, something good is always worth waiting for. Yi Yang patted Meng Ke's shoulder and said comfortingly.
Meng Ke was laughed at by her, and followed the people to the small river in front of the bamboo building, they stood in front of the stone steps near the river, it had just rained, the willows were verdant, and the river was foggy and dim, and they could only vaguely identify that it was a few water birds playing and chasing on the river.
