Chapter 62: Inexplicable

After a long time at school, Sheng Shi began to gradually feel bored, always feeling very tired and hard for some reason, but obviously he didn't do anything.

Holidays are particularly precious to Shengshi.

Shengshi didn't have much to do, and he always didn't forget to hang up the phone to Gu Licheng in Beijing on Sundays.

Sheng Shi said: "How are you, are you doing well?"

Gu Licheng on the other side of the phone laughed: "Don't worry, am I the kind of person who will make my life bad, Sheng Shi, when will you be able to catch up with Mo Qingyou?"

Sheng Shi was silent for a while, and finally spit out a word: "Damn." ”

Gu Licheng also said, "Damn!"

Sheng Shi said: "Since you have nothing to do, then I will hang up, and I will talk about it next time." ”

Sheng Shi hung up the phone.

Mo Qingyou suddenly came over in the afternoon, when Sheng Shi was watching a boring TV show with his mother, Mo Qingyou suddenly came in the door.

She was beautifully dressed, wearing a light green floral dress with suspenders, a soft white ruffled hat on her head, and a pair of flat white woven sandals on her feet.

Sheng Shi's mother was the first to find out that Mo Qingyou was coming.

"Mo Qingyou, why are you here? Come and sit down. ”

After speaking, Sheng Shi's mother wanted to make a cup of herbal tea to quench Mo Qingyou's thirst, but Mo Qingyou refused, saying that she had no desire to drink water. So his mother could only turn around and sit down, Mo Qingyou came over and sat down beside Sheng Shi, she took off the hat on her head and put it in her arms.

"What are you doing on weekends?"

Mo Qingyou asked him.

Sheng Shi said: "I didn't do anything, just rested, and called Gu Licheng." ”

"Is Gu Licheng okay?"

Sheng Shi exhaled a long breath and said weakly: "He's very good." ”

Mo Qingyou said: "I want to fly a kite today, will you accompany me?"

Sheng Shi glanced out the window, the sky outside was unusually gloomy, there was no hot sun and dazzling sunshine, the whole sky was gloomy and gray, it looked as if a strong wind was blowing, blowing the small trees in the courtyard left and right, it was a good weather for kite flying.

Sheng Shi decided to accompany Mo Qingyou to fly a kite.

The two of them left Sheng Shi's house, went down the slope, and went straight to the right of the street where Uncle Mo Qingyou was, and when they walked out of twenty meters, they could see a small square bungalow on the side of the road, the surface of the house was painted with white paint, there was no roof and tile cover, and it looked like a large box.

A long bench was placed in front of the house, and a few white jasmine flowers were planted on the left and right, and the faint astringent fragrance could be smelled from afar.

The jasmine flowers in October bloom very beautifully, delicate and exquisite, the color is white like a crescent moon, very elegant.

Sheng Shi saw a new long wooden plaque erected at the entrance of the house, on which were engraved with red lacquer several large characters "Taichuan Kite Fang".

Mo Qingyou also noticed the new wooden sign, so he said, "The brand is newly made." ”

Sheng Shi said: "It should be new, the previous one is not so long, and the color is much lighter." ”

Sheng Shi and Mo Qingyou stepped into the room without a threshold one after another, and in the narrow space, the four walls were covered with red and willow green kites, which had different shapes and sizes. Most of them are simple flat graphics or simple animal shapes.

There was a ceiling fan hanging from the ceiling, whirring and running.

The owner is an elderly craftsman. He was sitting at a long wooden table with no lacquer, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed reading glasses and a few bamboo strips tied to his head.

"Hello grandpa!"

Sheng Shi walked up to him, leaned close to his ear and shouted.

The boss's ears are a little back, and he can't hear if he speaks too quietly.

When he heard Sheng Shi's voice, he stopped what he was doing and squinted at the two of them. Before Sheng Shi could say a second sentence, he waved his hand and pointed at the wall, motioning for them to pick up the kite themselves.

Sheng Shi then walked to the wall with Mo Qingyou, and took a closer look at the kites on the wall that were really complex and diverse, and could not be enumerated. The kites are stacked on top of each other, left and right. Sheng Shi fell in love with a huge octopus-shaped kite, but Mo Qingyou felt that it was too big and pulled a few long tassels to look a little cheesy.

Mo Qingyou said: "This is not good, it is too ugly." ”

Sheng Shi could only hang the kite back in its original position, and he looked at the kite again, and he didn't feel particularly ugly.

After a while, Mo Qingyou chose an ordinary swallow-shaped kite hanging under the corner.

After leaving the house, a gust of wind suddenly hit, and the temperature was much lower than a few days ago, maybe autumn was coming, the weather was getting cooler, and Sheng Shi felt a little cold.

He led the way, down a winding dirt road to the right of the kite shop. The path was lined with bushes, and the weeds grew tall and tall. After passing through several green fields of crops, and descending a muddy slope, a wide meadow spreads out in front of you.

Sheng Shi noticed that there were already a few children in the distance who were pulling a long glass line, dragging the quadrangular kite and running excitedly forward, their line was too long, the kite always couldn't fly, the child who flew the kite could only stop helplessly, and the others all surrounded him.

Mo Qingyou said: "Shengshi, have you ever flown a kite?"

She spread her hands in the wind and lifted the swallow-shaped kite above her head, tilting her head to look at it.

Sheng Shi said: "Of course I let it go, but it was also very young, I can't remember clearly, maybe we flew kites together at that time." ”

After Sheng Shi finished speaking, he walked to Mo Qingyou's side, he snatched the round thread wheel in her hand, and wound out a thread of more than one meter.

"Shall I let you go first?"

"Good. ”

Mo Qingyou helped hold the kite behind Sheng Shi, Sheng Shi walked to the front and made a circle of lines, then turned around and glanced at her and said:

"I'll let you go later, and you'll let go. ”

"Okay!"

Mo Qingyou grinned happily at him, her light green floral skirt was being pulled behind her by a cool breeze blowing in her face, and a pair of well-proportioned long legs were faintly bulging.

Sheng Shi began to run, and the soft carpet-like grass under his feet was trampled out of huge footprints, and after a while, the footprints gradually dispersed and returned to their original appearance.

Sheng Shi turned around and looked at the slender glass line between him and Mo Qingyou that was blown up by the strong wind, and a circle of arcs bulged upwards in the middle, seeing that the wind was getting stronger and stronger, so he shouted at her:

"Mo Qingyou, you can let go!"

Mo Qingyou let go of the kite, and the kite that broke away from the palm of his hand floated along the wind to the sky above, Sheng Shi ran faster, and saw that the kite flew higher and slowly wound out a circle.

He kept running forward, and the higher the kite went up, the more he slowly wound the line from the reel, and so on for a while, before Sheng Shi slowed down and slowly retracted the line. When he felt he could stop, he stopped, stood on the grass and watched the kite float down like a piece of paper.

Mo Qing ran towards him with a smile, the white lotus leaf hat on her head was blown behind her by the strong wind, and the hat flew in the air for a while, and then landed steadily on a grass with purple wildflowers.

Mo Qingyou turned his head and looked at his hat, and ran to pick it up.

"Well, it's fun. ”

Mo Qingyou ran towards Sheng Shi while holding his hat in his arms, his black hair was blown high by the wind, flying wildly behind him.

Sheng Shi said, "Haven't you ever flown a kite before?"

Mo Qingyou said: "There shouldn't be, how can anyone play this with me, you don't know that my dad is strict with me." ”

Sheng Shi handed over the sorted thread roller to Mo Qingyou, Mo Qingyou looked very happy, she smiled in the wind, lifted the kite high, and turned around happily in place, the originally good thread roller was turned around by Mo Qingyou, and it was a mess, so Sheng Shi could only silently help her rearrange it.

"You like flying kites so much?"

Sheng Shi looked at Mo Qingyou's complacent expression, and couldn't help but ask. Mo Qingyou glanced at him playfully, and said, "Don't you think flying a kite is a very happy thing?

Mo Qingyou paused, she glanced at the gloomy sky, lowered her eyes again, and breathed deeply in the fresh air of the fields.

"I can't express that feeling, I'm too poor to speak. ”

Sheng Shi said: "You look like this, as if you have a lot of troubles, forget about it, take advantage of this wind and go to play again, I am here looking at your hat." ”

"Okay, then you can take care of it for me. ”

After Mo Qingyou finished speaking, he threw the lotus leaf hat to Sheng Shi. Sheng Shi held the hat in one hand, and the other hand also held the kite like Mo Qingyou helped him hold the kite before, Mo Qingyou let go of some of the threads, and walked a short distance forward with the string roller.

She stopped on a clump of green grass that looked like a new grow, turned around and smiled at Sheng Shi slightly.

The wind blew in his face, mixed with the clean, moist air, and the slender glass line bulged upwards in a circle.

Mo Qing ran for a while, and then let Sheng Shi let go of his hand.

The kite of red and green mixed with various colors flew happily towards the sky, and from a distance it looked like a real big bird, and it swayed from side to side in the gray canopy for a while before flying higher.

Mo Qing ran far away, she became smaller and smaller in the sight of the prosperous world, and the wind blew her long skirt puffing, like a huge pu leaf swaying with the wind.

Sheng Shi sat cross-legged on the grass with her hat in her arms, Mo Qingyou's hat left the smell of her hair, fragrant, the fragrance of a shampoo. Sheng Shi took it to his nose and sniffed it, the aroma hit people, I don't know what brand of shampoo Mo Qingyou used, it had a fresh lemon and milk fragrance, it smelled very good.

Sheng Shi looked at Mo Qingyou and ran away a little further, the kite was still flying high, and the slender glass line merged with the sky, making people not notice its existence at all.

Sheng Shi was bored, he picked up a small puffy wildflower beside him, and looked at Mo Qingyou who was running in the wind in the distance, she didn't seem to feel tired.

Sheng Shi suddenly remembered a song he heard his father sing when he was a child, which was Su Hong's "March 3rd Again". That song was when he was in elementary school, and his father took him to fly a kite, and every time he would involuntarily hum this song to Sheng Shi.

Sheng Shi recalled the lyrics in his mind and sang softly in the wind

"It's March 3 again

Kites fly all over the sky

Holding my thoughts and dreams

Walk back to childhood
