Chapter Ninety-Eight: An Opportunity
After the sultry and unknowingly touching his head to kill, Ah Cai rarely quieted down.
It's probably the little thoughts hidden in my heart that have become more and more difficult to hide under the catalysis of getting along a few times, and I have become a little shy. So the large horn machine, which had been talking non-stop from last night to this morning, suddenly died down and refused to say a word.
After digging deeper, Ah Cai originally didn't have so many thoughts, but he just felt that Shen Chuanyuan was the best person. It's so good to see but can't be touched, and the distance between her is too far, it's like looking at flowers in the moon mirror in the water, it's already good to look at it at just the right age, the original intention is just to appreciate, and you don't need to ask for more things.
Ah Cai didn't think that he had to get it, but Shen Chuanyuan kept the distance closer.
At first, I was attracted by the demeanor of the guests, then the anticipation of those nights holding my mobile phone and waiting for news, and then it turned into a brief but beautiful dream of two people who knew it but did not say it, and spent the New Year together.
He disturbed the wind of the wind chimes, and also disturbed the girl's thousands of heart knots.
If it weren't for Shen Chuanyuan's hints and expressions later, Ah Cai might still be able to hide his admiration. But Shen Chuanyuan took the initiative to tell those things about him, telling Ah Cai about his past and future. The star, which had been high above, fell down at once and landed in the girl's palm, and she held it carefully, and was no longer willing to put it down.
When Ah Cai kept Shen Chuanyuan, had more contact with him, and even took the risk of violating the rules of the clan to take him home with him, some unspoken emotions became uncontrollable.
At first glance, these things seem to be accidental, like Ah Cai's impulsive speech after a moment of brain fever. But when she calmed down, she actually found that her good impression of Shen Chuanyuan had increased instead of decreasing, if time could be turned back to the second when Shen Chuanyuan was leaving, she would still choose to stop him, violate the clan rules in the village, and tell him the secrets about the goddess totem.
Even Ah Cai thought about it very seriously, the possibility of leaving Mocheng with Shen Chuanyuan.
If you really go to see the outside world, if Shen Chuanyuan really makes such an invitation, why can't you?
The little girl who grew up in the mountains is not so reserved and evasive, and she will not hide her thoughts in a twist and turn. For things he doesn't care about, Ah Cai has a frozen three-foot coldness, and he doesn't even bother to look at it. But for the people who love and worship, even the tenderness and sweetness are so nakedly held, for fear that people will not feel it.
If you like it, you like it, do you still need to pick a day?
Many thoughts lingered in Ah Cai's heart and couldn't dissipate, and in the end, those emotions were condensed in Shen Chuanyuan's eyes, and they became obscure and reluctant to let go, and they swallowed it hard.
She was afraid that if she talked too much, she would prematurely break the window paper, so it was rare for her to remain silent.
Just like that, they quietly arrived at the passenger station, Ah Cai and Shen Chuanyuan sat in the back double seat, the big bags and small wraps were carried by the man in his hand, and all the small details were handled very properly. The little girl rarely felt the feeling of being taken care of, such warmth made everything beautiful, it was obviously a very tiring long journey, but it made Ah Cai feel a little reluctant to end.
There were a lot of people in the car, all the seats were full, probably knowing that the road was far away, and the big guys had prepared something, and they brought a lot of snacks and stomach things, and the aroma of bread and ham sausage mixed with instant noodles came. The bus winded around the winding mountain road, and the tiredness of getting up early became more and more distinct, and soon there was a cascading snoring, and of course, there was also a whispered conversation with a suppressed voice. There is also the sound of TV dramas and songs, which Ah Cai is very disgusted with on weekdays, but now she feels a little warm and comfortable travel.
Ah Cai thought through the glass window, and in the end, it was Shen Chuanyuan who took the initiative to break the silence.
"What's the matter, little girl, are you still upset?"
"Where...... Nothing. Ah Cai replied in a low voice, awkwardly picking up a ham sausage, hiding his little caution, "I got up too early today, I'm a little sleepy at this time." ”
"If you are sleepy, you still have the time to enjoy the scenery outside, why don't you take advantage of the car to sleep for a while?"
"Cut, as far as you know, I'm sleepy. ”
When she said these words, Ah Cai's cheeks were obviously a little red, but she retorted and refused to say anything more.
She said in her heart that Shen Chuanyuan really didn't know what her daughter's family was thinking.
At this time, the girl's family doesn't speak, obviously because she has too many thoughts and doesn't know how to say it, and she doesn't sleep of course because she cherishes this rare trip, and she wants to cherish it every minute and every second, and she is completely reluctant to sleep. Could it be that this kind of thing still needs her to say it herself?
On the other hand, on Shen Chuanyuan's side, whether he really couldn't see it, or pretended not to see it, all his emotions were hidden in Yun Qingfeng's low smile, and he didn't reveal the slightest hint.
The front window opened a small gap, and with the bumps blowing a cold wind from time to time, Shen Chuanyuan took off his coat and draped it on Ah Cai's body very naturally.
"Your grandmother is also worried about you, I said, how can there be no one to take care of the little girl. ”
When he spoke, Shen Chuanyuan's voice was half a low chuckle, and his tone seemed to be explaining Ah Cai.
"You have lived in a village since you were a child, and you have no chance of contact with others, so it is too easy to take it for granted. The adult world is a big dye vat, of course, there is a colorful side, but it is also essential to have a corresponding dark side, there is duplicity, deceit, mutual calculation, your grandma is worried about you is normal, there is nothing to be unhappy about. ”
"It's not a sigh, grandma is afraid of my mother's affairs, so she deliberately takes care of me. ”
"Your mother's business?" Shen Chuanyuan raised his eyebrows without making a sound.
"That's it...... It's going on at home. Ah Cai originally just said it casually, but when Shen Chuanyuan asked, she realized that she had really said too much, so she immediately stopped talking.
"Excuse me, did I ask about a topic you don't want to talk about?"
Shen Chuanyuan's emotional intelligence was enough for him to be keenly aware of the subtle emotional changes of the girl, and before Ah Cai could make up for it, he pulled back the gradually embarrassing conversation with a low laugh.
"If you feel sleepy, just sleep for a while, with me watching the time, you can rest assured. ”
This sentence gave Ah Cai a step, and she ended the topic logically.
In fact, Ah Cai did remember bad things all of a sudden, so that he quickly cooled down from his state of excitement in an instant, and sat silently on the chair like a frosted eggplant, and did not speak for a long time. Speaking of his parents, Ah Cai has to think of the fire and the curse of the patriarch.
The fire on the altar burned for three days and three nights, and the lantern was like a spell that deprived all good things.
The strange shrine maiden mask glowed terrifyingly in the tongue of fire, burning Acai's eyes.
In those last few seconds, she was almost unsure that the god she saw was still the devil.
.......
Looking at the little girl's not very good-looking face, Shen Chuanyuan aggressively pulled the coat a little higher and let her lean on his shoulder.
This posture is obviously a little too intimate, but Ah Cai is greedy for the warmth of her arms and acquiesces.
"Sleep, wake up. ”
Later, I didn't know if Shen Chuanyuan's arms were too comfortable, or Ah Cai was really tired, she actually fell asleep in such a position. When I woke up again, I had already arrived at the terminal and was about to reverse the next bus.
It was a few more hours to reverse, and even if Shen Chuanyuan was prepared, he still underestimated the remoteness of this village.
When he and Ah Cai got off the second bus, they drove the ox cart for more than two hours, and then stopped at a barren mountain and wilderness where there was almost no grass. When it comes to the degree of desolation, it can be said that it is quite jaw-dropping, and Rao is Shen Chuanyuan, who has been to the mountain countryside for a lot of field investigations, is a little surprised at this time.
There is no other reason, as the road becomes more and more deviant, this realm really doesn't want to be inhabited.
Human beings are social animals, and social functions play a very important role, so how can the people in the village live in such a remote place?
Thinking like this, Shen Chuanyuan frowned slightly and asked in a low voice.
"This is it?"
"It's not even a mile, it's said that our village is far away, you still don't believe me, are you tired?" Ah Cai whispered, and soon as he was worried that Shen Chuanyuan would regret it, he pretended to go back inadvertently to make up for it, "If you are tired, we can rest for a while, but we can't delay too long, we must enter the village before dark, otherwise...... It's dangerous. ”
Shen Chuanyuan's eyes were hidden behind the lenses, and even his emotions were restrained.
"It's okay, I just think it's hard for you to go home. ”
"Yes, it's really inconvenient, our village is still too closed, so it's hard for me to go out, and it's hard to come back. Ah Cai couldn't help but complain, but when she looked at Shen Chuanyuan with concern, the dissatisfaction in her tone quickly turned into sincere laughter, "But this time I have you with me, it's very interesting along the way." ”
"Of course, as I said, it's not so boring to go together. ”
The mountain trail is rugged and steep, and it is really difficult to walk, even the most skilled at survival in the wilderness will get lost here. If it weren't for Ah Cai, a local, Shen Chuanyuan would not have been able to find this place.
In order to ease the atmosphere, Ah Cai has been chatting with Shen Chuanyuan, and Shen Chuanyuan is also willing to talk with the little girl, every sentence is very decent, it will be funny, and the conversation is very harmonious. But when Ah Cai couldn't see it, he pushed his glasses, and there was obvious sharpness hidden in his lowered gaze.
Along the way, Shen Chuanyuan was observing Ah Cai.
Everything went smoothly on this trip, whether it was about the delicacy of the Wu totem or Ah Cai's final retention, it was all within his expectations.
It is not so much that this is the little girl's uncontrollable feelings, but that it is Shen Chuanyuan's deliberate guidance in a plan.
The human heart is the most difficult thing to measure, and feelings will inevitably bring countless variables, so that the plan is inexplicably disrupted, so that it affects the final result. But from a certain point of view, the human heart is also the best thing to handle, because everyone has their own desires, and the greed in the hearts of the world cannot be restrained.
If the mysterious witch clan is an impenetrable wall, hiding an ancient civilization that the world does not know, it sleeps with the secrets that should be buried in the sand of time. So when Ah Cai began to tell the secret of embroidery, the wall had already cracked, and more things just depended on how far Shen Chuanyuan could go.
It was these things that gave Shen Chuanyuan an opportunity.
