Chapter 82: Here and Now
"Go back, go back!" said Xiao Nan's father.
"Go back, go back!" the two old men kept waving.
"It's not early!"
"It's still snowing?"
"On the road, you must be careful!"
The old mother kept admonishing, and it seemed that 10,000 were not at ease.
In this way, at that time, when the lights were held, the two sides waved goodbye at the entrance of the village, and they were still reluctant. A little, they are all rural people, and the old mother also tucked the quilt for the mother in the car, and the scene suddenly made people feel a kind of warmth, and the whole body was hot.
"Go back, go back!"
"Go back, go back!"
The two cars drifted away in the snow, looking at each other from a distance and waving their hands, which was so touching.
After Xiaonan's father and they left, they returned to the kitchen and suddenly found that the 100 yuan was deducted from the bowl, which made the old couple very unhappy for a long time. Especially the old man who clutched the money tightly and said, "This, this, this, you say, this?" He said that he planned to pay it back the next day, but of course, his old woman had to nod her head frequently and obey her orders.
"It's not early, go to sleep, old woman!" said the old man, scooped a scoop of water in the big water tank, drank a large sum, threw down the scoop, and lay down in the firewood pile beside him and fell asleep.
"This, this, this?"
"Tell me, I'm so busy, I didn't even drink hot water!"
Seeing this, the old mother hurriedly covered her wife with a sheepskin jacket, picked up the kerosene lamp, and went to the hall to rest.
That is, from that night on, in the courtyard of the Zhou family by the Long'nü River, the firewood was bright, and the two families of Lu Zhou were even more close to each other, and they also discussed the complex of later arresting and marrying. At the same time, Xiao Nan's father also gave the two children two nice names, Xia Xiaoxue and Xia Xiaoyu.
On the same night, the rare heavy snow fell all night, the heavy snow sealed the 'door', the sky was high and the earth was thick, and the people in the mountains were even more reminiscent of the joy of the harvest next year. However, the real world is a silver 'color' world, ah, how beautiful! Heaven and earth are all the same color.
That night was destined to be a sleepless night in the Zhou family compound. The two families of Lu Zhou surrounded the stove, and there were really endless homely words. Especially Xiao Nan's aunt Zhou Qi lying on the 'bed' is even more hypocritical, she looked at the two babies around her, with a light smile on her lips, I don't know if she was 'excited' Xiao Nan's father's true help, or happy about this 'door' doll family, or, even more shy to 'expose' her embarrassment when she gave birth to a child?
Yes, a smart person can think about it, because the weather was too cold, and the situation was so urgent, there was absolutely an urgent need for more selfless help. For example, carrying people, lighting fires, blocking the wind, etc.? In short, everyone is too busy to 'communicate'. As for the process of delivery, it was naturally all seen by Xiaonan's father. Of course, no one can say anything wrong, because the situation at that time was "really special".
That situation is really so special that it can be said that "for the sake of life" is informal.
At that time, Xiao Nan was only eight years old, and what could he know, only to stay by the fire in the Zhou family's compound and gnaw on the roasted taro with his brothers and younger brothers and listen to the stories told by the adults with relish.
However, at that time, Ma Nansheng outside the house seemed to be 'excited' by some kind of sting, I don't know if it hurt his self-esteem, or did he have a little jealousy? Although he locked his wife and 'daughter' at home, he ran to the outside of the Zhou family's compound alone and wandered around like a rabbit all night, and almost froze to death. However, no one in the village cared about his life or death. Because his behavior can only become a joke.
In rural areas, bad people like Ma Nansheng are generally not welcomed.
"You deserve to freeze to death. ”
"You deserve to freeze to death!"
"Freeze to death this eighth grandson!"
"Clean up the bad things!"
"You deserve to freeze to death!"
"This Wang Ba cover, grandma is all small-footed!"
When Fan Er returned from playing cards, he inadvertently bumped into Ma Nansheng's sneakiness, so he kept insulting in his heart. After that night, although Ma Nansheng was really sick, I heard that the illness was not light, but no one was distressed, but many villagers were cursing him, "Why is this Wang Bagai still not dead?"
In fact, Ma Nansheng is so unpopular, and he also knows that since he occupied his brother's fiancée Qiao Yanmin, the people in the village have a different vision and a bad opinion of him. Even, many times, they treat him as a 'pervert' wolf and a white-eyed wolf. Not only did he usually despise and despise him, but he even had to walk around him, lest he suffer because of him.
At the same time, Ma Nansheng also knew better in his heart that his daughter Ma Lili was several months older than those two girls, and she was not his own species at all. Moreover, the doctor in the town had told him that he was suffering from extinction.
Therefore, at that time, Ma Nansheng was very distressed. Not only did he not get his junior sister Zhou Qi jealous of his senior brother, but he also complained that the master ruthlessly expelled him from the master's door, and he also added that Ma Lili, a wild little girl, was not born by himself, and that's all, he hated his senior brother Xia Mulin to death.
A lot of times, thinking about it, he really can't swallow this breath.
He felt that if a man had lived at that point, it would no longer seem to have much meaning or meaning in living with a dead face, so from that snowy night onwards, he began to calculate how to wait for the opportunity to take revenge. So much so that later, when Xia Mulin's two twin girls were seven years old, they also deliberately created the tragedy in the Zhou family compound.
After waiting for the opportunity to do it for seven years, after the plan of arson and revenge of the bastard was fully implemented, he easily patted his ass and left, and his wife Qiao Yanmin felt that she had no shame to face her father and fellow villagers, but she also left her daughter Ma Lili and committed suicide by throwing herself into the river.
So in this way, the tragedy in the Zhou family's compound formed an unsolvable knot in the hearts of the people in the village. Just because, at that time, there was no one in the village who would believe the testimony of the two children, Xiao Nan and Xiao Yu.
"Yes, there are too many pasts, it's really a bit untouchable?" Mu Xuan'er sighed with emotion as she held the script of "Beauty Unbounded".
"Well, thinking about it, it really makes people think about facial cramps, and it is even more exciting. and even died of blood!" Director Duan Kai was also full of emotion.
"But, this plot still has to continue?"
"Alas, helpless!"
Duan Kai sighed!
"It's on, it's on, on the set of "Xiao Nan's Remembrance", 3, 2, 1, start!"
At this time, Xiao Nan in reality was lying on the guardrail of Niangniang Temple, feeling that he had no strength around him, and even felt that the whole world seemed to be spinning rapidly, which made people dizzy and uncomfortable.
So, he urged himself to be calm and calm, but the past is really untraceable, it really makes people sad and happy.
At this time, you see, the autumn wind once again woke up Xiao Nan's memories of the past, and those childhood scenes and shadows appeared again on the banks of the Dragon Girl River. It was very clear: At that time, the naughty Xiao Nan followed Xiao Xue's grandfather Zhou Quan to swing the boat in the river and happily catch the small fish, when Grandpa Zhou slowly leaned the boat ashore, the fifteen-year-old handsome boy Xiao Nan couldn't wait to jump out of the boat. Who knew that one stumbled and didn't stand firmly, and then one fell to the ground, and the half bucket of water that happened to be carried in his hand also washed the yard that Xia Xiaoxue had carefully built with sand beyond recognition. Suddenly, Xiaoxue and Xiaoyu cried for a long time, but he didn't have a good way to make the two sisters happy. At that time, even the small fish thrown out of the barrel were jumping around on the ground, which was very endearing.
He remembered that at that time, thanks to Zhou Quanzhou's grandfather, he stood up and came up with a trick, "Hurry up, girls, catch fish, catch fish, catch fish!" At that time, everyone laughed happily and was very busy. Especially Grandpa Zhou, the old man, smiled even more happily. Look, his snow-white goatee is up.
In this way, the happiness of childhood is still echoing in Xiao Nan's ears non-stop, far and near, almost ethereal, and in the blink of an eye, Xiao Nan's thoughts suddenly turned to another world.
——In the creek next to the Broken Dream Cliff, with the lovely child daughter-in-law Xue'er, two pairs of little feet snuggled up on the reef with their pants rolled up and played in the stream, sprinkling the rain of bright petals.
On the Niangniang Temple, even the sky at this time was filled with a song called "Breakpoint" from Fan Tongzhou's "Stunning Color" album: Remembering the past we had / Tears began to spread little by little...... I can always see / All broken promises will be fulfilled / You're no longer with me......
"Yes, Cher, where are you now, and where have you been?"
Xiao Nan is so lonely.
- "Brother Xiaonan, then, when you grow up, what is your wish?" asked Xue'er.
At that time, Xiao Nan heard Xia Xiaoxue's question, and his brain was excited, so he thought of the two movies "Shangganling" and "Garland Under the Mountain" that he had just watched last night, and immediately replied resolutely and firmly: "When I grow up! I want to be a soldier, a good soldier to fight 'devils', defend our motherland, and defend our family and country." But never, you must not be a traitor!"
At that time, although Xiao Nan's small appearance was a little immature, he was extremely resolute.
- "Okay, good, good, Brother Xiao Nan, Brother Xiao Nan! Then, then I will be a soldier when I grow up, and I will catch the bad guys and catch the bad guys with you." Xue'er was gesturing vigorously at that time, jumping around, and the two pigtails on her head were dangling, looking very happy.
- At that time, Xiao Nan was also surprised, "Uh, good job, good job, let's all go to be soldiers." A male soldier, a female soldier, clucking...... It's good, it's good!"
At that time, the two children were innocently clapping their hands, like a pair of happy birds.
At this moment, Xiao Nan still remembered that at that time, in order to prove the truth of the promise he made to Xue'er, he gave Xia Xiaoxue a high-grade "Jade Ruyi Pendant" that he had worn around his neck for fifteen years, and the consciousness was that Quan Quan took it as a token and helped her put it on. At that time, the pure and flawless little girl Xue'er also kissed Xiao Nan's smiling face sweetly, expressing her love and gratitude to him.
At that time, I happened to rub off a round button from Xue'er's own gown, which seemed to be similar to a material of crystal stone, which was not very valuable, but it was also very delicate, transparent and shiny. Xue'er is very smart, and immediately used a few dog tail grass strings to braided together, and also wore them around Xiao Nange's neck. It means that I want to say that I will hold Xiao Nange's heart "for a lifetime".
"Oh my God, this little elf!"
At that time, Xiao Nan's jaw was shocked, and it was Xue'er's grandfather who gave him everything. At that time, I was also happy enough to be thoughtful! No, that special button, Xiao Nan still wears it on his chest, like a treasure. It seems that he will not change it for thousands of gold and silver, but only for a red rope.
I heard that these actions of Brother Xiaonan and Sister Xiaoxue back then were all stared at and remembered by Xia Xiaoyu, who was playing alone among the flowers on the hillside. Don't look at Xiaoyu, although she was young at the time, she was also a little bit of snack vinegar. Moreover, at that time, the whole little face was full of amazement! But it was innocent.
Later, some people even said that the jade Ruyi pendant was a good object. It was once adorned by Emperor Qianlong, and absorbed the essence of its dragon sweat for a long time and has been cultivated into living jade, the color is crystal clear, and the charm is exquisite.
As far as that jade object is concerned, if you want to talk about the appearance, it is even more incredible. The legend can be described as ingenious, the dragon plate is as good as it gets, short and concise, vivid, unprecedented, ten different, and also very exquisite.
Definitely from a man of genius.
If you want to talk about the origin of this small object, it is really Xuan's head can be mad, and there are even more gimmicks, and it will be bloody.
Some people say that it was the White Lotus Sect that entered Beijing to rob the things of the imperial court, buried on the top of Pipa Mountain, washed out by the rain for many years, and washed into the Dragon Girl River.
Some people also say that this is Emperor Qianlong took off his dragon robe and paid a private visit to the "Sixian Village" under our Pipa Mountain, thirsty for water, and met the kind woman of the Lu village girl in Tunzi who was in the tunzi, and the guest fragrance was for several days. When you don't, you will leave this jade Ruyi pendant, right, when it is a token.
What's more, it is said that when the Confucian people in the north of Mencius's hometown repeatedly reported to the Qing Dynasty's minister Monk Greenqin to exterminate the White Lotus Sect in the area of "Qicheng Mountain", Emperor Qianlong entrusted Monk Greenqin to Confucius one of the remaining species in the large number of rewards.
Oh my God, let's not dwell on anything else, just this little object, the real origin, is still a mystery?
However, at present, many people do not know where this object is left.
Actually, Xiao Nan understands in his heart.
At this moment, listen, Fan Tongzhou's "Breakpoint" is still floating and lingering in the sky. We listen to her sweetness, as if we have enjoyed the most beautiful moonlight in the middle of the night, which is sprinkled in every corner of the world. There are more people who may be sleeping soundly in their dreams as sweet as honey, holding their loved ones.
However, our Xiao Nan is still immersed in those days of childhood, and after the sweetness, he still continues to reminisce painfully, especially the fire that Cher encountered in the summer when she was seven years old, these past events made Xiao Nan really dare not touch it again, and she doesn't want to touch it again.
However, all these pasts are reflected in Xiao Nan's mind like a movie. For many days, Xiao Nan tried to forget, but how could he forget, he didn't dare to forget, and he couldn't forget.
So, at this moment, he was in tears, really in tears. Because few people can know the pain he buried in his heart.
