Chapter 231: Red Sorghum (Part II)
West wind, ancient road, thin horse.
A woman dressed in a shabby floral cotton jacket and dressed very dirty, but still unable to hide her pretty face, looked back at the little girl with pigtails on the carriage, and her face was full of pampering.
The little girl looked at the clear blue sky, stunned and distracted.
"Demon, what are you thinking so about?, are you thinking about Ah Niu in the village next door?!" the woman couldn't help but quip.
"No, that big black bull looks very strong, but the last time I played the game, I just fell my ass from the mound, and I cried at all, and I have no manhood at all, and my groom in the future will definitely not be like the big black bull, but a real man who stands up to the sky!" the little girl pouted and retorted very dissatisfied.
"Okay, well, then I'll wait and see what kind of man our demon will find!" the woman smiled and reached out to scratch the little girl's nose gently.
The winding mountain road is very long, there is no end in sight, the women sweat on their foreheads, and they are very difficult to pull, but there is a little girl, but the women seem to have inexhaustible strength, pulling the reins of the thin horse, step by step into the distance.
……
Loess, window grilles, caves.
The cave is not big, and the light is not bright enough, but for the little girl, this small cave is the most beautiful world in her mind, her father is the sky, and her mother is the earth.
The big red window flowers on the windows indicate that the Spring Festival is coming.
For a six-year-old girl, the Spring Festival is undoubtedly the most enjoyable time, bouncing and rejoicing.
But the little girl didn't notice that there was actually a trace of sadness hidden on the smiling faces of her parents.
"Happy New Year, demon, our demon is a year older, and it looks like she is about to grow into a big girl. The woman gently scratched the little girl's nose and laughed.
"Don't shave my nose again, because I'm already a big girl!" protested the little girl.
"Okay, big girl, when will your bridegroom come into our house? The protest was ineffective, and the woman scratched lightly again, smiling happily.
It's just that unlike the jokes and ridicule in the past, this time the woman's expression brought a hint of melancholy, both expectation and regret.
The man squatting in the corner was sad.
……
Bluestone slabs, shepherd's flutes, sorghum wine.
The little girl is a year older, and the sky-high braid on her head has long been untied and turned into a black and bright ponytail, coupled with her delicate face, she already looks like a beautiful embryo.
There is also a bluestone slab on the hill where the sheep are often herded at home, and every time the sheep are herded, the women take out a piccolo and patiently teach the little girls around them what is the change of voice and the transmission of sound, and what is the sound and vibrato.
After the teaching, the women will play it themselves, and the flute is actually very rudimentary, but the women can always play a beautiful melody.
The sound of the flute was melodious, and the little girl sat quietly on the bluestone slab, listening very attentively, only occasionally a little confused, because her mother did not know when she liked to drink, and always drank high liquor.
The little girl did not understand this until one day, when the woman habitually tried to scratch her nose, but she spurted out a mouthful of blood and fainted to the ground.
When the women were gone, they were buried in the place where the sheep were often grazing, and the bluestone slab became a tombstone.
The little girl also gradually grew up, and when she was really sensible, she learned that her mother drank every day at that time, not really good, but to anesthetize the body's pain.
It's just that it's too late, and some regrets are always left in the little girl's heart.
And since then, the little girl has also taken on drinking.
……
"Mom, do you see? I found the man who stood up to the sky, right next to me, right where you played the flute, and this time I really grew up. Demon Dao quietly looked at the small hill with bluestone slabs in the distance, and burst into tears.
Jiang Feng lowered his head, looking at the tearful demon knife and was very distressed, and following the gaze of the demon knife, after noticing the lonely tomb in the distance, Jiang Feng's eyes condensed slightly, and he vaguely understood something.
However, Jiang Feng didn't ask anything, believing that one day, when the demon knife wanted to say something, he would naturally tell him.
"Brother Feng, thank you for helping me, but I have a long-standing wish. The demon knife burst into tears and laughed, took out a piccolo, and played a tune she had known since she was a child.
The flute sound is melodious, but the tune is fresh and bright, and it is very beautiful and moving.
This song was compiled by my mother, and after teaching it to the demon knife, I once laughed and ridiculed, and let the demon knife find the man who stood up to the sky in his mind, and then blew it to him.
Now, the demon knife has another wish.
Jiang Feng hugged the demon knife tightly and listened very seriously.
After the song, the demon knife snuggled in Jiang Feng's arms, stopped talking, and became surprisingly quiet, completely different from the strange appearance before.
Jiang Feng also fell into silence, as the demon knife said, the scenery here is really beautiful, and the most commendable thing is that this place is far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, which can make people's hearts return to tranquility.
Jiang Feng enjoyed the tranquility of this moment very much, but the unfortunate thing was that at this time, his stomach rumbled and began to protest.
Jiang Feng touched his nose a little embarrassed, he rushed here all the way from H City, he basically didn't eat much, plus the amount of exercise was too much, so it was strange that his stomach didn't protest.
"Brother Feng, this is food, you can eat. The demon knife sneered, and she took out another insulated box, which actually contained five dishes with all colors and flavors, as well as two bowls of rice.
Eating and drinking, the two of them snuggled tightly, very tacitly, and no one wanted to break the rare silence at this moment.
In this way, the two of them sat quietly all night, until the sky was white, and the sky was bright.
"I'm leaving, will you leave with me?" Jiang Feng asked.
Jiang Feng actually didn't want to leave, but the audition at City C Station was about to start, and it was impossible for him to delay too much time here.
"Today is my mother's death day, and I want to spend more time with her. Demon Dao shook his head and said.
Jiang Feng nodded, took another deep look at the demon knife, and turned to leave.
After Jiang Feng walked away, the demon knife standing on the hill shouted: "Brother Feng, in fact, even if you are late, I will not really send that photo to Sister Bing and Sister Xuan, and when you go to the appointment on time, I will immediately delete that photo." ”
Hearing this, Jiang Feng couldn't help but smile knowingly, and waved his hand without looking back, signaling that he knew.
Jiang Feng found that the demon knife that had quieted down was actually very well-behaved, and the eccentric appearance in the past might just be a disguise, but he soon found out that he was wrong.
"But Brother Feng, don't be happy too early, I still have a lot of photos like this on my phone, and we will often drink in the future!"
The smile on Jiang Feng's face suddenly froze, one was not paying attention, he stepped into the air, and almost rolled down the hillside, and a string of silver bell-like laughter also sounded from behind.
The demon knife smiled happily, and it wasn't until Jiang Feng walked away and the figure could no longer be seen that the demon knife bit his lip and muttered: "Brother Feng, in fact, I still have a wish, that is, to take you to my cave to have a look, but this time, I am already very willful, in order not to add a burden to you, I will not take you through the door." ”
