Chapter 18: Night by Night
Su Xiaoman was standing on a high place, and his voice could travel far away. After a while, she heard Ou Shangwen's voice: "I'll be back soon!" Although the voice was a little far away and a little weak, Su Xiaoman's heart was still half relieved.
After a while, Ou Shangwen walked in with a pile of firewood, his face was covered with sweat and he was panting, which showed that he was in a hurry to run back.
Although Su Xiaoman was happy in her heart, she didn't show it, and still complained: "I should have prepared firewood a long time ago, and I will get a lot of it tomorrow." With that, he went to get Ou Shangwen's outdoor sports bandana, moistened it with water in a bamboo tube, and handed it to Ou Shangwen with an elongated face.
Seeing Su Xiaoman's little mood, Ou Shangwen was happy, and he leaned closer to her: "Are you worried about me?"
"Bah, why am I worried about you? You were eaten by wolves, you can't get rid of you?" Su Xiaoman laughed when she said such insincere words.
Seeing Su Xiaoman's small expression, Ou Shangwen felt full of happiness, as if he was being cared for for for the first time, very satisfied. He wiped the sweat from his face.
"Really, next time we have to go together, let's not separate, in case we get separated, right? ”
Ou Shangwen couldn't help but smile: "Actually, it doesn't matter if you get separated, I will definitely find you." ”
Su Xiaoman gave him a roll of his eyes: "Are you so sure?"
"Of course, I have set a limit for myself to move, as long as I hear you shouting, I must hurry back. After Ou Shangwen finished speaking, he smiled warmly.
Su Xiaoman was warm and touched, it turned out that he had thought of it, and he was moving from what he thought was a safe distance. Outside, he is also always worried about the family, oh no, it is the one in the cave.
Although my heart was moved, my mouth was still hard: "Hurry up and eat, that meat is roasted, I am, I want to ask you when this meat will be cooked." yes, that's what I mean by calling you. Su Xiaoman explained that there was no silver here.
Su Xiaoman's mind was already clear, and Ou Shangwen didn't expose her, happily walked to the kettle and took the kettle down. He found that the bird meat was thrown on the firewood, which showed that Su Xiaoman was still very anxious at that time, and he was afraid that something would happen to him. Ou Shangwen looked at the bird meat, and was so moved that he felt that the corners of his eyes were a little moist.
Su Xiaoman also found a problem, and quickly picked up the branch: "Oops, it's misplaced! Is it dirty? I'll wash it." ”
Ou Shangwen grabbed Su Xiaoman's arm and gently stopped: "No, it must be delicious." ”
Su Xiaoman broke free of Ou Shangwen's hand a little shyly: "Then, I'll divide the meat." She broke off the bird's leg and gave the rest of the meat to Auchanwen. Ou Shangwen shrank his hand: "No, no, no, at least you have to score evenly." ”
Su Xiaoman thought for a while, and ordered him with a stiff face: "It's not for you to eat for nothing, when you go out tomorrow, if I'm tired, you still have to carry me, it's for me...... The coachman eats. ”
Ou Shangwen reacted and bent over with a smile: "You mean to feed the mules and the horses?"
Su Xiaoman couldn't hold back either, smiled a little, and immediately suppressed her smile again: "Even if it, this must be eaten!"
Ou Shangwen reluctantly took the bird meat: "Okay, I'll eat it all!"
Hearing Ou Shangwen's words, Su Xiaoman immediately turned into a smile: "This is like words." ”
The two of them gathered around the fire and ate happily, adding ingredients and side dishes, and the bitterness of the bitter herbs was greatly reduced. There is no light in the cave, so it requires a lot of firewood, and even if it burns slowly, there will be light.
Tomorrow, tomorrow we must go to collect firewood, and the two of us will not be able to go out alone! Su Xiaoman secretly made up her mind again.
Ou Shangwen suddenly picked up a piece of meat and sent it to Su Xiaoman's mouth: "This, thank you for me, well, take a bite." He couldn't go on anymore.
Su Xiaoman blinked her eyes and nodded: "Okay!" She opened her mouth and bit the meat directly, after eating the meat, she suddenly remembered something, picked up the branch chopsticks and sandwiched some green vegetables, and put them to Ou Shangwen's mouth, he ate it unceremoniously into his mouth, with an expression of enjoyment. Unexpectedly, Su Xiaoman still had something to say: "You can't return meat for meat, you can only return meat with vegetables! Fortunately, it's not a tooth for a tooth." ”
Ou Shangwen, who was eating the food, choked with laughter and coughed continuously. Su Xiaoman couldn't laugh so much that she couldn't eat normally.
When she went to bed at night, Su Xiaoman suddenly remembered: "The straw sandals are not ready yet." Ou Shangwen comforted her: "It's okay, in fact, straw sandals, well, you can make them up later, we will wear them in the cave and use them as slippers." On the other side of the river, the stones are very clean, and there is no big amount of activity, so you can do without straw sandals. ”
Su Xiaoman blurted out: "If you don't have shoes, it won't be convenient if it's convenient." ”
This sentence immediately confused Ou Shangwen: "What do you mean? Is it convenient or inconvenient?"
Fortunately, in the evening, Su Xiaoman was happy, how could she discuss this topic?
"Multiple choice questions?" Auchanwen also broke the casserole and asked to the end.
"Forget it, you don't think you heard it. ”
The key is convenience or inconvenience, why did Su Xiaoman suddenly stop saying it? Ou Shangwen put a question mark on these words, is there a secret in this?
"Hey, good night. Su Xiaoman was afraid that Ou Shangwen would continue the topic, so he hurriedly said: "I'm tired, sleepy, I'm going to sleep." ”
"Well, you're really tired of making so many grass skirts. Ou Shangwen suddenly laughed: "This, I seem to be looking forward to the arrival of tomorrow, if I wear a grass skirt, hey, what will it look like?"
"I don't know, you'll have to wait until you put it on to see the effect. Su Xiaoman smiled secretly, in fact, she didn't know what she looked like when she wore a grass skirt, she wouldn't look like dancing, right?
Auchanwen suddenly asked another question: "Can I bring a camera?"
Su Xiaoman laughed suddenly: "Hey, you don't want to keep a permanent memory of your ugly photos, right?"
"Do you think I'm that ugly in a straw skirt?"
"Well, it's not ugly, it's not ugly, you should be a very handsome uncle. Su Xiaoman was perfunctory.
Ou Shangwen was unhappy again: "Don't keep saying that I'm an uncle, I'm your eldest brother at most, how can I be so old?"
Su Xiaoman smiled secretly, how can a man be so afraid of talking about being old? Su Xiaoman still deliberately teased him: "Okay uncle, can you sleep?"
Ou Shangwen spread a bed of grass leaves on the opposite side of Su Xiaoman's bed, and the blades of grass were not as thick and comfortable as Su Xiaoman's bed, but he finally didn't have to sit and sleep, which was not bad. But the problem with the grass leaf bed is that it can't be turned over casually, no matter who it is, as long as it rolls over, there will be a rustling feeling, and the movement will come, which can easily affect the sleep of another person.
Su Xiaoman was thinking about taking a bath tomorrow, she felt that there were many details that she needed to think about, after all, boys and girls were in the same river, it was always a little inconvenient, if you let Owen go to a far place, and she was afraid that he would be in danger, and she was afraid that she would be in danger, and the two of them would not be able to take care of it, this would not dare to take risks.
Ou Shangwen also thought the same way, he was also thinking about what might happen tomorrow and how to avoid it, and the two of them were turning over and over again thinking about it. As a result, I didn't fall asleep for most of the night, and this bed rustled a little, and then the bed swiped a few times.
Ou Shangwen simply sat up, "Xiaoman, are you really asleep?"
"Well, I'm asleep. ”
"Then you're still talking when you're asleep?"
Su Xiaoman smiled angrily: "Can't talk in dreams? I hate it! Okay, if you see it through, then I'll chat with you for a while." Saying that, Su Xiaoman also sat up.
"Okay, that's great, talk until we're tired and sleepy. ”
Su Xiaoman sighed: "It's really good not to go to work, you can sleep as long as you want the next day." yes, not going to work seems to be a real loss of responsibility and burden, huh. There have been few good things like waking up naturally, but now we wake up naturally every day, isn't it too happy?"
"Well, indeed, waking up naturally is indeed a kind of happiness. I'll call you Xiaoman, can you call me Owen?" Ou Shangwen suddenly thought of the question of title.
"Mr. Ou, Uncle Ou, beat up"
Ou Shangwen interrupted Su Xiaoman: "Don't call Uncle Uncle, the two of us have become two generations, how can we get along?" Auchan Weiwen protested strongly.
The embers in the fire pit are still lit up by stars. Now the two of them have adapted to the darkness in the cave, and with that little bit of afterglow, they can also see each other's expressions clearly.
Su Xiaoman smiled secretly, because she saw that Ou Shangwen's face was tense, serious, and serious. This old man is very afraid of people saying that he is old, and calling him uncle is still a kind of respect. Stupid, monster, a man is still so afraid of old age? It's terrible to be afraid of being like this, but there's no need to be anxious at all. Zhou Xiaoman secretly criticized Ou Shangwen in his heart.
Ou Shangwen seemed to see the sincere words in Su Xiaoman's heart: "Hey, don't scold me in your stomach, I will listen to ventriloquism!"
"What do you mean? Are you a roundworm in my stomach? I curse you in my heart, do you know?"
Ou Shangwen laughed: "Sure enough, I knew you were scolding me, I just saw what you were muttering, and sure enough, I guessed it." ”
Su Xiaoman hurriedly changed the topic: "I call you Ou Shangwen? Mr. Ou? Ha, it's so hard to call? Shangwen, it's not good, I don't want to call you, I don't want to shout anything." "Forget it, then you can tell me to feed." Auchanwen took the initiative to compromise.
"Well, this is okay, hey, hey, it's like a phone call. Haha! The two of them laughed, a lonely night, a dark night, in the two of them talking and laughing gradually deepened. The embers in the fire pit were getting smaller and smaller, and the light was getting dimmer and dimmer, but the conversation between the two people was not affected.
"Hey, your childhood was quite interesting, right?
