Chapter 24 Gas
Not long after eating in the afternoon, Mingsheng took the peach blossom to Zhang Meng's house. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zhang Meng's house is at the east end of the village, and he has to turn through many households. Most of the people in the village recognized it, and even those who didn't recognize it were all familiar with each other, and they ran all the way to the place with a greeting.
Peach Blossom looked at the courtyard in front of her, the courtyard door was half open, looking much more luxurious than her own home, four blue brick houses, the kitchen on the left, and a vegetable patch was cleaned up in the yard, which was cleaned up neatly, no poultry was raised, and it was not necessary to be a hunter. There is a wooden stake in the corner of one side, which is probably used for practice, Peach Blossom guessed. A well, and a cart with some miscellaneous items on it.
"Is Brother Zhang Meng at home?" Mingsheng was ripe, and he pulled the peach blossoms into the yard.
Seeing that Mingsheng was about to enter the house, Peach Blossom hurriedly stopped. "What are you doing, if no one is at home, will you go in and talk?"
Mingsheng stood reluctantly, still unconvinced: "We won't steal anything." "
"Is that you?" Zhang Meng walked out of the room.
There was also a middle-aged man who came out, Peach Blossom thought, this is probably Zhang Dong, the father of Zhang Meng, who his father said. Zhang Dong is about forty years old, with dark skin, open appearance, and extremely strong. It can be seen that Zhang Meng's appearance follows him for seven points, only a pair of tiger eyes, but Zhang Meng is different, not as fierce as his father, looking at people like swords, just a little more soft light, and a little less angry. Maybe that softness was inherited from her mother? Peach Blossom suddenly looked forward to seeing the mistress of the house.
Zhang Dong was a little surprised, his son has always been arrogant, disdain to associate with the little baby in the village, most of them hide in the mountains and be accompanied by tigers and wolves on weekdays, and he is also helpless, biased to his son and followed his own character, extremely stubborn, and he said that he couldn't move, so he had to give up, but he didn't think that the courtyard that had been quiet for more than ten years turned out to be someone, or two little babies!
"Are you friends with Meng'er? You're here to play with him, have you eaten?" Zhang Dong looked very happy, and asked repeatedly, just with a stern look on his face, which really didn't match the smile at the moment.
"Hello Uncle Zhang, I'm Peach Blossom, this is my brother Mingsheng, we've all eaten. Peach Blossom looked at Zhang Dong and said, pulling his younger brother to stand in the courtyard, Mingsheng was obviously afraid of Zhang Dong, hiding behind Peach Blossom, not saying a word.
"That's good, then you guys play, I'll go out for a walk. This child is not as timid and scared as the ordinary little girl saw Zhang Dong, Zhang Dong couldn't help nodding when he saw it, and he was afraid that he would be uncomfortable with a few children here, so he went out.
Seeing Zhang Dong go out, Ming Sheng immediately returned to his original form, rushed to Zhang Meng's side, pulled the other party's sleeve, and said, "Brother Meng, show us your fox, my third sister hasn't seen it yet." "
Zhang Meng glanced at the peach blossoms, his eyes flashed slightly, and nodded. "Come with me. "
Then when he first walked to the yard to place the position of the cart, a big bamboo basket next to it was buckled, Zhang Meng walked over and opened the bamboo basket, and a fox with a hint of red appeared in front of him, this fox was the size of a little wolf, not as thin and shriveled as seen in the zoo in the previous life, but it was fat and very cute, and it was tied to the neck at the moment, and was lying on the ground, with its tail curled up under him.
Seeing the crowd coming up, he stood up all of a sudden, his pointed mouth closed one by one, and a pair of narrow eyes also opened, staring at the person in front of him.
Peach Blossom squatted down and looked at the fox's eyes carefully, those eyes were so beautiful, and the clarity suddenly reminded Peach Blossom of snow-capped mountains and lakes, there was no panic and panic, only innocence and confusion, like a lost child. Peach Blossom couldn't help but reach out.
"What are you doing!" Zhang Meng bent down and pulled Peach Blossom's hand back.
Zhang Meng has a lot of strength, like iron tongs, and when Peach Blossom reacts, Zhang Meng's wrist has been scratched by Zhang Meng.
"It hurts!" Peach Blossom's brows furrowed, this fierce body couldn't be beaten with iron, not to mention the strength, he felt that his hands were made of iron.
"Third sister, are you okay?" Mingsheng nervously held Peach Blossom's hand and looked at it, looking back to say that Zhang Meng held back again, only comforted Peach Blossom vigorously, and blew the red and somewhat swollen wrist.
Zhang Meng looked at the red marks on the white wrists, and was also very annoyed, pursed his lips, and stood up straight.
"Who told you to touch the fox. Zhang Meng's tone was not good.
Originally, Peach Blossom didn't want to worry about him, but as soon as she heard his tone, she suddenly got angry, stood up, squinted her eyes, and looked at Zhang Meng, "Who is rare your fox." "
"Then you still come and see!" Zhang Meng burst out.
"Mingsheng, let's go!" Peach Blossom pulled Mingsheng up and was about to go out.
"Third sister...... Brother Meng ...... "Mingsheng was pulled by Peach Blossom, looked at Peach Blossom and then looked at Zhang Meng, and finally said: "Brother Meng, we will come to play with you next time." "
Peach Blossom left without looking back, and Mingsheng hurriedly followed.
On the way back, Mingsheng looked at the peach blossoms, and finally mustered up the courage to ask.
"Third sister, why are you so angry? I believe that Brother Meng didn't mean it. "
"I ......" Peach Blossom was stunned for a moment, yes, isn't it just that her wrist was scratched, what do you care about with a child? Not to mention that the other party helped her family catch a thief not long ago. Is it because I can't see the other party's tone, but that kid is really angry when he speaks. But he didn't seem to give him any good looks, and the self-esteem of children is also very strong, is it true that he, a person in his twenties, doesn't even have this measure! The body has become smaller, and even the heart has become smaller?
Peach Blossom's pace slowed down, and finally stopped.
"Okay, let's go back. "
Zhang Meng stood in the courtyard, stunned and looked at the back of the peach blossom leaving, until he disappeared, then he looked down at his palm, the palm of a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy is not as delicate as an ordinary child, it is dark and rough on it, the calluses at the clenched fist are deep, and there are still scars, and there seems to be a little residual warmth, and there is still a soft residue that is not grasped.
My mind flashed back to the smile I saw inadvertently when I hid in the treetops that day, bright and warm, just like the wanton growth of mountain flowers I saw in the mountains, free and freehand. If only he had such a sister, he thought at the time. He could protect her, he would see that many of the brothers in the village would fight for his sister, he would catch cute furry little beasts for her to make her happy, and the little girls seemed to like that, and he would put all the difficulties she encountered and live happily all the time. So he thought, he wouldn't be alone......
As he thought about it, he suddenly felt astringent in his heart.
