"The north solstice, the long solstice, the short shadow of the sun, so it is called the summer solstice. The most solitary, the extreme. ”

Muraguchi teahouse

"Bai Li, I still can't figure it out, why did you take me directly through the entire valley after rejecting the man in Tsing Yi?" Luan Niao couldn't help but say after putting his pecking in the cup and taking a sip of tea, raising his neck and swallowing it.

This tea is really unpalatable, and a noble bird like it disdains to drink this kind of goods, but he doesn't know why he is very thirsty in the morning, so he can't help but take a sip.

"Don't think about it if you can't figure it out, drink water with peace of mind, and we'll continue to rush in the afternoon when you're full. After speaking, the boy picked up the teacup, looked at the slightly green leaves floating in the cup, and thought of some things from the past.

Seeing that the boy was not in a good mood, Luan Niao closed his mouth in recognition of his face, lest the terrifying flame find him again.

"In the summer, young people are easy to be impetuous, and they don't know how to do things. "The owner of the teahouse is an old man who is close to six, her husband left the world two years ago, and she has been running the somewhat dilapidated teahouse for the rest of the time.

Luan Niao thought that the young man would impatiently drive away the old man, but he never thought that the young man would get up and sit in his place, and nodded with a smile in agreement.

The old man said thank you and sat down, saying that people are old and useless.

"Childe's surname?" may be really old, and the few remaining teeth make the old man's speech a little slurred, but fortunately, the young man can understand it.

"My name is Bai Li, and its name is Xiaoluan. The boy responded with a smile, then walked over to Luanniao's place and sat down in a chair.

"Oh, it's all my old dizziness, I thought it was a white chicken outside, which made you laugh. The old man covered his mouth and laughed softly, thinking that when he was young, he was also a famous lady in the village.

"Out of the way, out of the way. The young man waved his hand, and Luanniao, who was about to speak out to correct the old man, was suddenly sealed by an inexplicable force.

"Where are you from?" asked the old man, curiously.

Here, there are people and demons in the world, and when I was a child, I was still mingling with the spirits in the mountains, but I didn't think the demons were so scary.

She had lived in the village all her life, and had never traveled far away, but her husband had often gone out, and every time he came back he would bring her all sorts of gadgets that she had never seen before.

In the evening, she will patiently listen to her husband tell the anecdotes of the outside world, and sew the clothes she will wear next time she goes out, and the warmth under the candlelight is enough for her to reminisce for a lifetime.

This white chicken is still what her husband said, but after her husband died, her brain became more and more dizzy, and her memory was blurred, so she naturally couldn't remember what her husband said at the beginning.

"We're from Snow Valley. The boy replied.

"Snow Valley?" Although the old man was a little puzzled, he still nodded, the young man was not dressed like a scholar who entered Beijing to take the exam, but more like the son of a rich family, thinking that this Snow Valley is also an incomparably rich town. The old man thought.

An old man and a young man are chatting. Someone opened the curtain at the door, and the young man was greeted by a girl with a weeping bun, and a pair of bright eyes were extremely smart.

She glanced at Luan Niao with some curiosity, and then the girl said to the old man:

"Auntie, there are guests, then I'll go to the house first, and I'll pick you up later." ”

After speaking, the girl said good fortune to the young man, and then turned to leave.

The old man nodded with a smile in his eyes, and then couldn't help but sigh.

The young man was a little puzzled, this girl was knowledgeable, obviously the old man taught well, how could she sigh, could it be that she couldn't get married?

But how to look at this girl's appearance is quite thoughtful, although it is not to the point where the matchmaker will break the threshold, but it is not difficult to find the right Ruyi Langjun.

"Actually, I picked it up. The old man didn't want to talk more about strangers, but the young man in front of her gave her no reason to believe that he was not a bad person.

Luan Niao was still dumb and silent, while the boy got up and picked up the kettle and waited for the old man's next step.

"Eighteen years ago, my husband and I went to the mountains to dig up some wild vegetables to exchange for some rations, but it was a year of great drought, and the weather was not beautiful, and there were very few people in the mountains who could sell them for money, so we had no choice but to go deeper into the valley. ”

The old man held the tea that the young man had just handed her, thanked him, and continued:

"We reached the point where the sun was about to set, but we still didn't find enough wild vegetables, and we thought that this trip was destined to be fruitless. ”

"At that time, I saw that it was getting late, and I was less courageous, so I retreated. But my husband seemed to be a little unwilling and wanted to go deeper to search, so we met the girl Sang Zi. ”

Speaking of this, in addition to nostalgia, the old man's eyes were more moved.

Since she and her husband tied the knot, although the two respected each other like guests and loved each other, they had no son and half daughter under their knees, and for this matter, she secretly hid in the room and wiped her tears with a towel.

I also took the medicine, and they tried all kinds of home remedies, but after decades, there was still no response.

However, her husband never complained about her for this, but always patiently comforted her, which made her feel more and more guilty.

That night, the luckiest adventure of her life, they met the little package surrounded by weeds, and looking at the sleeping baby girl in the swaddling clothes, she felt that it was a gift from heaven to the good things they had done for the two of them for many years.

The girl didn't cry, which the couple was a little surprised, looking at the "daughter" who was smiling and laughing all day long, and the boring life of decades began to have laughter.

"But this is not a good thing?" Seeing that the old man stopped to slow down, the young man did not urge, and waited until the other party's breath stabilized before asking.

"Silly child, if there is no problem with Sang Zi's body, I don't think her biological parents will be so ruthless. The old man sighed.

Although the husband and wife are a little poor and old, fortunately, she and her husband have more or less studied in the school for a few years, which is more than enough to teach their daughter.

In terms of life, this girl is not picky, on the contrary, she is very sensible, which makes her even more convinced that this is a gift from God.

Until that year, Sang Zi was nine years old, and one day she came home to see her daughter coughing on her chest, at first she thought it was cold and cold, so she put on a few more clothes for Sang Zi, and took out the girl's bedding to dry.

Unexpectedly, the girl's illness became more and more serious, coughing non-stop, and sometimes her little face was red.

This is a big deal for the husband and wife.

The two went to the county overnight to ask for a doctor, but the result was that Sang Zi had phlegm fever, which should not be an incurable disease in the doctor's opinion, but Sang Zi's condition was a little strange, which made him not know how to start.

Seeing the change in the little girl's face and the blood coughing up, the doctor finally sighed and turned away.

In the end, the doctor did not accept the consultation fee of the husband and wife, but only told them that with this money, they would buy more positive food, and maybe the girl's illness could be improved.
