Professor Wu's family was the first to leave, and then Yan Bo evacuated with the workers, and the Cheng family suddenly lost many people, and it seemed a little deserted. In the past, there was always a table full of people at dinner, but now only the eldest son, daughter-in-law and two granddaughters are left. sighed for a while, and kept mentioning his good brother Professor Wu between the lines, and the meaning of nostalgia was very strong in his words.

Cheng Qiao was in a panic because of He Yan's brief phone call, and he didn't have much appetite, so he put down the dishes and chopsticks and said hello to the elders and left the table after picking up a few bites of food, and took the golden retriever dog to the village for a walk.

It was early summer, and the peach blossoms outside the courtyard gate had already been gone, and the two peach trees were bearing green fruits. The pond is dotted with green lotus leaves, and lotus flowers that have just revealed their pink sharp horns. The rice seedlings in the fields are full of greenery, and the cool summer breeze blows through and dances cheerfully. Walking on the ridge can still hear the sound of frogs one after another, Cheng Qiao led the obedient and aimlessly wandered around, until the sunset and night fell, she was still in high spirits and continued to stroll in it.

"Wang!" A few faint fluorescent lights flew in the air, obediently called out curiously, stretched out his front paws to grab it, and naturally pounced. The fluorescent light suddenly spread out in all directions, and a bright spot fell arrogantly on its black nose, and when it raised its claws to slap its nose, it fluttered and flew away.

"Fireflies!" Cheng Qiao was attracted by these fluorescent points, and chased after her in the direction where the bright light flew away, obediently following her. Chasing her all the way to the stone bridge, the fireflies flew around her a few times before disappearing under the stone bridge.

In front of her is her renovated old house, and on this moonlit and starry night, the white and soft moonlight seems to cover it with a layer of quiet and peaceful tulle. Cheng Qiao unconsciously walked to the vermilion lacquer door, raised his hand and pushed it hard, and the door creaked open. It was dark in the aisle, and Cheng Qiao crossed the threshold with a familiar way, reached out to touch the switch on the wall behind the door, and lit the light on the aisle. Small wall lamps are installed on the walls, emitting a white glow that illuminates the road ahead.

Obediently followed Cheng Qiao to the patio, walked slowly around the old banyan tree, and then entered the main house, stretched out his hand to turn on all the lights in the room, and it was bright for a while, like daylight. There was still a smell of new decoration in the room, and Cheng Qiao only stayed for a while before feeling a little uncomfortable, so he opened the window in the house to breathe in and walked into the empty backyard.

A full moon hangs high in the night sky, and the spring water in the puddle is still crystal clear, like a mirror reflecting the bright moon in the sky. The moon above his head is like a silver plate, and the water is also a silver plate, but Cheng Qiao has no intention of appreciating such a wonder. She squatted at the water's edge, put her palms in the shape of trumpets in front of her mouth, took a deep breath and shouted, "He Yan, you bastard, big liar!"

After shouting a round, she took a breath and continued to shout: "Bastard!

"Ahh The silver disk in the water swayed, and the originally shallow ripples suddenly became larger and larger to form a whirlpool, gathering more and more in circles, and the original faint silver halo gradually brightened, enveloping Cheng Qiao at the edge of the puddle, and then the halo was full and faded until it disappeared.

In the haze, there was a crisp voice like a yellow oriole chirping in my ears.

"It's so noisy...... Cheng Qiao frowned and muttered, and opened his eyes suddenly, and what caught his eye was the top of the tent embroidered with the delicate pattern of rich peonies above his head.

There was a little girl squatting next to the bed, and when she woke up, she exclaimed in surprise: "Girl, you are awake!" Cuiru was worried to death...... ＂

It was the voice she heard when she was confused. She glanced at the other party and said in her heart: Hello Cuiru, goodbye Cuiru! Turned over and put her face against the wall, pulled the quilt to cover her head, and 10,000 alpacas passed by slowly in her heart.

Didn't I just find a puddle and a tree hole? Why did I suddenly run to such a strange place? Looking at the little girl's dress, it was obvious that she was an ancient, could it be that she had unfortunately crossed over? No, no, maybe who was joking with her, Cheng Qiao was still lucky, when the turtle shrunk its head, it was better to go outside to find out, if she found out who dared to trick her like this, she caught her, hum......

Thinking so, one rolled over the quilt and sat up on the bed. Pulling the corners of her mouth, she tried to make herself appear amiable: "Cuiru, right?"

"Eh!" the little girl replied, standing respectfully in front of her, "what does the girl command?"

Cheng Qiao raised his hand to cover his head and said, "I just woke up, and my brain is still a little dizzy." Tell me, where are we now?"

The little girl stretched out her hand to help her, and replied softly: "The girl's illness has dragged on for so long, and it is better to see her improvement today, which can be regarded as God's blessing, and it is not in vain that Mrs. prays for the girl's blessing and safety in the Buddhist hall every day." ”

Madame? Cheng Qiao quickly captured the information in the little girl's words, could this lady be my own mother? was speculating in his heart, and heard the little girl continue to say, "The girl suddenly had a high fever and had a pox that day, but Madame was worried, and the doctor came to see it, and said that this disease has to be left to fate, and Madame has no choice but to take you to Zhuangzi to take care of it." ”

What? I have chickenpox? Isn't that pockmarked now? Cheng Qiao was shocked and shouted, "Quickly show me the mirror." ”

"It's reads;. Cuiru responded, turned around and went to the cabinet to take out a crystal mirror and send it to her.

Cheng Qiao leaned his head over to take a look, almost frightened. In the mirror, a young face was somewhat similar to her original appearance, except that there were large and small light brown marks on her cheeks and forehead. She looked down at her delicate little hands and calves again. This small body is actually about the same age as the little girl in front of her, it is estimated that she is only about ten years old, this is not her body at all! There was a trace of luck in her heart just now, and at this moment there was only deep despair left in her heart, and she really crossed it...... It's all because of He Yan, if he hadn't made that phone call, he wouldn't have been upset and ran to the tree hole, and if he didn't have the tree hole, he wouldn't have crossed, and his resentment towards He Yan was a little deeper in an instant. Hey, I don't know if I can wear it back?

Seeing her depressed, Cuiru thought that her girl was sad for the marks on her face, so she hurriedly comforted her: "Girl, acne is like this, and it will fade after a while......

Cheng Qiao was worried about this, she was bent on whether she could wear it back, instead of sitting in the room and waiting for death, it was better to go outside to find some clues. So he said to Cuiru: "I have been lying in bed for a long time and I am panicking, and I want to breathe outside." ”

Cuiru listened to her instructions, went to the cabinet to get a set of bright yellow clothes for her to change, and thoughtfully put a veil on her. Cheng Qiao stepped out of the door tremblingly with her support and walked slowly along the corridor.

"Where does the girl want to go?" asked her.

"Let's go shopping, you just said that Mrs. is my mother, where is she?" Cheng Qiao never forgot to say from the little girl's mouth.

Cuiru looked at the sky and replied with some hesitation: "Mrs. should be in the account room at this hour......

It seems that she guessed correctly, this lady in Cuiru's mouth is indeed her own mother, Cheng Qiao nodded, "Then don't bother her, Cuiru, what do you say about my father?" she continued to probe.

As soon as she asked, Cuiru's face changed, and she said hesitantly: "Some time ago...... Some time ago, the lord sent a marriage letter for divorce!"

Cheng Qiao felt that she was a little lonely and speechless, how could she wear it once and still be a single-parent family, could she always be insulated from a normal family with both parents?

A master and a servant walked slowly, and met many servants and maids along the way, and when they saw her, they saluted her and greeted her. The more Cheng Qiao walked around, the more he felt that this Zhuangzi looked familiar, how could he look so much like her old house. Come to the backyard, there is a rockery pavilion and bamboo, and the scenery is just right. The hillside behind the courtyard is lush and green, and the spring water is tinkling down.

"Our back mountain can be called Luofeng Slope?" Cheng Qiao asked tentatively, pointing to the hillside in front of him.

"Huh?" Cuiru looked surprised, "this is a nameless mountain." Luo Feng ...... Luofeng, the girl's name for this mountain is quite smooth. ”

Cheng Qiao was a little disappointed and continued to ask, "Is there a big lake behind the mountain?"

"No, I don't. Cuiru shook her head and looked at her strangely, "The girl is seriously ill, probably I don't remember, there are peach blossom forests behind this mountain...... Our Taowu Town is named because of the many peach blossoms. ”

It seems that he is still in Taowu Town. Cheng Qiao felt a little relieved, raised his little tender hand and touched his forehead, and said sadly, "Cuiru, you are really right, many things have been blurred after my serious illness, and I don't even remember the days." ”

Seeing this, Cuiru comforted her and said, "The girl is recovering from a serious illness, and she will be able to raise it for a while." Today, I calculate, it's the sixteenth day of March in the year of Gengwu......"

Lunar...... Cheng Qiao only felt that his eyes were dark, and he knew that it was easy to show his feet if he asked too many questions, so he simply didn't ask anything, and just saw it with his eyes.
