Chapter 4: Fireflies in the Night

Xia Chun raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "What does that smell like?"

Yao Liangwu pondered for a moment and said, "The tea soup is translucent, the bottom of the leaves is fresh, the smell is sweet, the aroma is long-lasting, and it is pleasant to drink." ”

Mei Leyue laughed, "How can I hear you say, this tea is like a fairy decoction." ”

"Although it is a bit exaggerated, but later, ......" Yao Liangwu touched his chin and paused for a moment, "Later, the old man died, and this Mei Fanghua also disappeared, and I don't know if I can drink it in this life." ”

Mei Leyue sighed, "What you can't get is the best, if you want me to see, it's good that Mei's Fanghua becomes a legend." ”

Xia Chun wanted to speak again and again, but did not speak again after all.

Xia Chun used to drink tea not much, this time suddenly drank so much, some tossing and turning at night, after falling asleep is also a dream after another, without stopping, Xia Wen, Mei Wenzi, and mother-in-law took turns to visit, childhood memories kept emerging, and when I woke up, the pillow was already wet. Outside the window, the red sun was rising in the east.

Xia Chun walked to the courtyard and saw Mei Wendian and Lin Yuefeng pointing to the sky, their heads together, looking at the sky, not knowing what they were saying. Xia Chun frowned slightly and walked towards the two.

When he got closer, Xia Chunfang heard Mei Wendian sigh with emotion, "This morning glow is so beautiful." ”

Lin Yuefeng shook his head and smashed his mouth, "Look at you, you are really uneducated, at this time you should say: The autumn water is the same color as the sky, and the morning glow and the lonely bird fly together." ”

Xia Chun followed the gaze of the two and looked up, and sure enough, he saw that the sky was gorgeous, the distant mountains were faintly shadowed, and occasionally a few birds passed by, flying into the distance with affection. It is very consistent with the artistic conception in the poem. Her furrowed brow furrowed.

Mei Wendian looked at Lin Yuefeng, the thumb of his right hand was raised, and he looked adoring, "Tsk, I can't see it, it's still a one-armed hero, and he can be literary and martial." ”

Lin Yuefeng left Mei Wendian with a roll of his eyes and raised his head, "It's not." ”

Xia Chun pondered for a moment and stepped forward, "Sir, Wendian will go to the town to attend middle school next year, and now he is short of a teacher to tutor him." ”

In fact, the implication of the unspoken words is: you should be the teacher of the dictionary.

Xia Chun glanced at Mei Wendian, Mei Wendian understood, and immediately hugged Lin Yuefeng's arm, "One-armed hero, you can be my teacher, give me a make-up lesson, tell me the story of walking the world over the years, it must be called a wonderful and intense ......"

"Wendian!" Before Mei Wendian finished speaking, Xia Chun suddenly let out a loud sigh and stopped him, who knows if there is any secret in those stories?

Mei Wendian realized that he had said the wrong thing, stuck out his tongue, slipped his legs, and turned back as he ran, "I'm going to school." ”

Xia Chun shook his head helplessly, Mei Wendian is still a child who doesn't know anything, if he really waits for him to grow up, I don't know when. The huge Mei family, is it really going to fall on her weak shoulders?

"It's fine. Lin Yuefeng shook his head, and his tone was generous.

"Wendian is a child, I don't know how to score inches, so I want Mr. to be a teacher of Wendian, if Mr. is not in a hurry to leave, he doesn't dislike the Mei family, it's better to stay. Xia Chun explained again.

Looking at Xia Chun's bright eyes that hid infinite expectation, the ghost made a difference, Lin Yuefeng nodded and agreed.

In this way, after Lin Yuefeng recovered from his injury, he lived in Mei's house, as Mei Wendian's teacher. Fortunately, Mei Wendian also likes Lin Yuefeng, and follows Lin Yuefeng every day to learn to shoot and box, but Mei Wendian fires an empty gun, and can only imitate the air over and over again. His fist was not hard enough, and he spent ninety percent of his strength to hit Lin Yuefeng, but Lin Yuefeng still didn't move.

Lin Yuefeng slowly began to be able to hold chopsticks with his left hand, but it was difficult to use them. Xia Chun asked Lin Yuefeng to eat at the same table with them, and at first asked Adian to serve dishes for Lin Yuefeng, but Lin Yuefeng kept refusing, and after a long time, Xia Chun and Adian would no longer help him, but they would also deliberately slow down the pace of eating, so as not to make him alone.

Lin Yuefeng will practice writing with his left hand over and over again when he is alone in the room at night, but it takes a long time to write numbers, the tea room is opposite to Lin Yuefeng's room, sometimes Xia Chun sits in the tea room to read the account book, or study the tea recipe, occasionally looking up, will look at the shadow on Lin Yuefeng's window, as if silently accompanied.

After the beginning of autumn, the coolness is getting thicker, and the rain is also falling continuously, an autumn rain and a cool.

It was raining lightly on this day, and it was late at night after reading the book in Xia Chun, but he still couldn't get it. She took a small purple sand tea saucer, walked out of the door, leaned on the railing of the corridor, listening to the sound of rain, ticking, but the window of Lin Yuefeng's room opposite was dark.

Where did he go? Xia Chun suddenly became a little curious, but as soon as the curiosity in his heart came up, he was suppressed by himself. She laughed at herself, patted her head, and asked herself what she was thinking.

Perhaps tired, somehow, staggering, Xia Chun fell asleep leaning against the railing, and woke up with a cloak on her shoulders. Lin Yuefeng was sitting next to her, and when he saw Xia Chun waking up, he smiled and teased, "Why does Miss Xia sleep here?

Xia Chun knew that he had been misunderstood, returned the cloak to Lin Yuefeng, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No." Suddenly remembering something, he blushed and said, "Why do you still call me Miss Xia?" I am already married, and Mr. should call me Mrs. Mei like everyone else." ”

Lin Yuefeng looked at the dark and boundless night, and sneered, "Girl, this is also considered a marriage, in my opinion, marriage should be the beautiful crystallization of free love, and a girl's marriage is just a child's play, where is it considered marriage?"

Xia Chun shook his head, "No, I don't agree with what Mr. said, although Wendian and I are not together through free love, but we have known each other since childhood, and this parent's order, the words of the matchmaker, how can it be child's play?"

Lin Yuefeng was disdainful, but instead asked, "Feudal etiquette, are there still fewer of these harmfuls?"

The atmosphere between the two became more and more tense, and a gust of evening breeze blew, and Xia Chun found that Lin Yuefeng had some rain on his body.

In order to ease the atmosphere, Xia Chunwan said, "It's cold, does Mr. want to drink tea?"

Lin Yuefeng's mouth opened, "If you can drink Miss Xia's tea, Lin will be honored." ”

"I'm going to make tea. Xia Chun then walked into the house, probably because he had been sitting for too long just now, and he was not very comfortable standing up suddenly, and his feet twitched twice unconsciously, and the whole person staggered.

"Hey, be careful. Lin Yuefeng stretched out his left hand and caught her.

She was lying in his arms with two feet, and this action brought the two of them very close, so close that Xia Chun could see the fine fluff on Lin Yuefeng's face. The two looked at each other, although Lin Yuefeng's eyes were as quiet as a lake, they were also profound, and at that moment Xia Chun seemed to be attracted by his gaze, and he lost his mind a little. She couldn't help but be in a trance until she heard Lin Yuefeng's dry cough.

Xia Chun grabbed his sleeve to support himself to stand up, inadvertently saw his exposed wrist, and said casually, "This tooth mark hasn't been dispersed for so many years." ”

Lin Yuefeng looked at his wrist, this was the first time to look at Xia Chun's face, many years have passed, the baby fat on her face has faded, and the edges and corners have become more and more distinct, but it is clear that she can still see the initial shadows, Lin Yuefeng looked stunned, "You actually know, are you ......?"

The past is unbearable, Xia Chun heard this, remembered her appearance when she was a child, her face suddenly turned red with shame, she bent down to pick up the broken teacup, "I'll go get a new one." ”

Lin Yuefeng stopped her, "Are you the girl who bought steamed buns for me?"

Xia Chun didn't know how to answer, and when he didn't pay attention, his hand was pierced by the fragments of the teacup, oozing a few beads of blood.

Lin Yuefeng held her and said softly, "Don't move, you sit aside and let me come." ”

Xia Chun obediently did not move, when Lin Yuefeng bent down, his hand accidentally touched her feet, Xia Chun was shocked, Lin Yuefeng, who lowered his head, did not notice it, and was still sighing at the magic of fate, "No wonder I see that you have a familiar feeling, it's just that after so many years, hey, it's just that Lin Mou is clumsy, and he didn't recognize the girl at the first time, and I hope the girl won't be surprised." ”

On the way back after processing the fragments, Lin Yuefeng pinched the purse on his waist, and his nose was sore. Xia Chun said that he threw away all his clothes, but left this purse alone. He should have known, he should have understood.

The bright moon outside the window is bright, and the blue lights in the window reflect the window. Under the illumination of the kerosene lamp, Xia Chun patiently brewed tea, the water in the room was murmuring, and the two were relatively speechless, but the past years were slowly spreading in the hearts of the two. Suddenly, a wind blew outside the window, extinguishing the kerosene lamp.

Xia Chun didn't pay attention, and screamed softly. She wanted to look for firewood, but she was in a hurry, and she couldn't find it for a long time.

"Don't panic, look at me. ”

I saw Lin Yuefeng take off the purse and gently open it again, and two small fireflies flew out. Summer has long passed, and these are the last two fireflies of the year. It was Lin Yuefeng who had just gone to the valley outside to catch it.

Xia Chun opened her hands, and the fireflies landed in her palms, and the tail shone with a crystal light, like her heart, beating little by little. The light was faint, but it illuminated her heart. The depression of recent days was all swept away at that moment.

Lin Yuefeng raised a cup of tea, brought it to his mouth, felt the heat of the tea, and said with a smile, "Miss Xia, the night fireflies are for you, I hope it can light up the night around you." ”

The pupils quickly adjusted to the darkness, and all this in front of them gradually became clear. It was at this moment that the tails of the two fireflies slowly dimmed and landed on the table, and the last light of the whole house was gone.

Xia Chun picked up the corpses of the two fireflies and put them in his hands, and couldn't help but sigh, "Life is fleeting, and the deceased is like this." ”

Lin Yuefeng said with a smile, "Miss Xia, no matter how long the night is, what awaits us ahead will always be dawn." ”
