Chapter 7 Establishing a Relationship
Feelings are built
To say that Yan Yongnong and they stuck together all day long and didn't gain at all, it was a complete waste of time and energy, and it is unreasonable. First of all, Yan Yongnong has been able to communicate in Mandarin through daily contact and conversation with those outsiders. As for the children, after hearing and witnessing them for so many days, they have also understood some of the meaning of the local dialect. The two of them no longer had to use an intermediary to talk, and even the gestures were canceled. Moreover, in the past few days, they have been in and out together, up and down, and breathing together, and they have shared a common fate, and it is really uncomfortable not to be together for a moment. The relationship between them is deepening and thickening.
When passing through a house, he encountered several vicious dogs, Yan Yongnong, picked up a stick and stepped forward to expel him, and the child was so frightened that he hid behind the adult, and then bravely picked up a stone to help. Since it was a day out, the buckwheat, corn or sweet potatoes brought from home for lunch were two people competing to eat the small ones. And each set up a reason, and the child said, "I eat small when I have a small belly." The adult said, "My adult belly is too big in the morning and it hasn't been finished yet." "After walking for a long time, sometimes more than ten miles a day, the softened child had to crawl on the back of the equally tired and limp adult and continue walking. ----- all of these are like a rope that binds these strange, unbeatable two people together. They have more than acquaintances, and have established a friendly, trusting, and dependent friendship.
Yan Yongnong has regarded this child as his nephew and relative. Why shouldn't he treat his own children? Because he is still wary, isn't he his own looking down on them? No. He was more meticulous and thoughtful in taking care of the child's life than he was in his own daughter. The difference is that the child is disobedient and does not blame or scold when he makes a mistake.
When educating your own children, no matter what method you use, outsiders will not make irresponsible comments. But not for this child, after all, this child does not belong to him, he is a guest, and sooner or later he will have to leave. Because of this, he is the object of attention of the whole village. Others don't think it's good for children, and think it's right; if it's a little inappropriate, there are other people who make goose calls and goose calls. Yan Yongnong didn't want to leave a handle for others, no matter how unreasonable or disobedient this kid was, he was blindly tolerant and obedient.
For some of the child's later behaviors, Yan Yongnong was almost so angry that he vomited blood, and according to his usual manless nature, he had to beat his buttocks and swell, but he endured it. He comforted himself: It is not possible to raise a cat or dog in a few days, let alone a person with memory, thinking, and feelings. And this kid is extraordinary, not something that can be coaxed with a word or two of kindness. Even if you give him sea cucumber, bird's nest, chicken, fish and bacon, you always hold him in your arms, carry him on your back, and carry him on your shoulders, you may not be able to completely close his heart. Of course, it's not that this kid doesn't know what to do at all, sometimes he is grateful, and he knows how to be grateful. Always say things that stammer the hearts of adults, and do things that are in line with the wishes of adults.
"When I grow up, I will buy you good things to eat, buy good clothes for you to wear, and earn as much money as you can spend. He said to Yan Yongnong. He would bring a stool and hand over tea.
In any case, others are in Cao Ying's heart in Han.
He kept following Yan Yongnong's ass and asking, "Why didn't my parents come to pick me up? Can they find me in this mountain nest?"
The rain seemed to be still going on after a whole night, and the next morning Yan Yongnong observed the sky and saw dark clouds dragging south like a horse race. There is a saying about Nongyan: The clouds go south, and the boat is rowed in the ditch behind the house. It seems that the rain will not stop for a while and a half, and there will be more violent rain. In view of this situation, Yan Yongnong is not ready to take his children out, and it is a rainy day to stay as a guest. The fatigue of the past few days made him particularly need to stop and rest. He couldn't tell the child what he thought directly, he knew the child would never agree. Fortunately, this kid has been more sensible and reasonable recently, so let's reason with him. So Yan Yongnong said from a distance: "It's raining so hard today, the road is not easy to walk, and your father won't come out to look for you-----"
"Yes, yes, the more it rains, the more he wants to come to me, he is worried that the rain will catch me. The child rushed to say.
"If we go out of the mountain, we have to pass through the river at the foot of Yangmei Mountain, it rained heavily last night, and the mountain flood broke out, and the river was flooded, how can we cross the river?" Yan Yongnong said with objective reasons.
"There is a treadmill bridge on the river, and it is sprinkled over the bridge. ”
"But the bridge was washed away by the water. ”
"Then row the bamboo row and scatter it. ”
"Where are I going to get bamboo rafts right away?"
"You tie it yourself. ”
"The boat has passed Duanyang, and when the bamboo row is tied, won't it be dark?"
"You don't want to take me out, but if you want to go out, you're afraid you won't be able to? Anyway, I'm going to go out, I'm going to find my parents. "The child appears impatient.
It seems that this kid is reasonable in other things, but in this one he is unreasonable. Yan Yongnong said some terrible things to scare him: "When it rains, bad people run out to do bad things, rob other people's things, and catch other people's children to buy. ”
"The bad guys are not as powerful as you, and when they saw you, they were so frightened that they fled to a foreign country. The child immediately retorted.
But when it rained, the rabbits, pheasants, and squirrels of the mountains hid in their burrows, and the wolves could not find anything to eat, so they immediately took them and ate them when they saw the children. ”
"Wolves are as afraid of you as dogs, and you can beat them away with sticks and I can use stones. ”
"What if you run into a tiger?"
"Where are the tigers? I have been out for two nights, and I have not even heard the sound of a tiger? The tiger has long been locked up in the zoo. ”
Seeing that he couldn't be frightened, and he couldn't argue with him, Yan Yongnong had to show the prestige of being a parent: "Don't go anywhere now, and then go out to find it after the rain breaks." If you're just screaming and arguing, I'm not just a dog."
When the child realizes that he has to stay at home today, he does not see the hope of his parents. Sitting on the ground, it was like a root, and he didn't move for hours.
Yan Yongnong forcibly picked him up several times and pressed him to the chair, and he broke free and sat down again. Yan Yongnong asked his daughter Xixi to pick up a pile of and put it where he was sitting, and at this time he didn't care about his gold-like clothes and still sat down.
You're not afraid of getting dirty, are you? I think you're not afraid of pain. Yan Yongnong went outside to fold the cedar thorns on the cedar tree. Hitting people with cedar thorns does not hurt the skin and bones, and the children in the mountains are most afraid of adults teaching them with cedar thorns. But this kid didn't seem to have tasted the smell of cedar thorns, Yan Yongnong put the cedar thorns in the place where he was sitting, and he sat down. Oh my God, his ass is iron-clad? Yan Yongnong's heart was shocked. "I've never seen it, I haven't seen it, it's unparalleled in the world, it's outstanding. Yan Yongnong shook his head. Then he said helplessly: "Master Laozi, I obeyed you, I was afraid of you, I didn't invite anyone to be afraid of you." I'll take you to find it, okay?"
Yan Yongnong reluctantly put on a coat and hat for the child, and took his hand and went out. Along the way, he scolded all the way: "Let the water wash you away today, it's better to rush to a foreign country, so that you won't see your parents in this life and this life-----。 Originally, there were a few more poisonous words that were about to come out of his throat, but he immediately covered his mouth with his hand, because he realized that it was very unlucky to say these words when he went out, and that the mouth of an adult was poisonous. He used the method of unifying the spell to pull the grass on the side of the road and rub it on his mouth a few times like rubbing his buttocks, and said a few words: "The shit mouth and pee the mouth does not work!" Despite this, he was not comforted in his heart, and cursed himself again: "Let those words and thoughts be fulfilled in me! God, he is a poor child who has lost his relatives, and I just cursed him with the words "Ennayan" as if I had not heard them, and Ennajan should bless him and not let him miss the slightest!" After Yan Yongnong finished speaking, he grabbed the child's hand, and subconsciously felt that there was some power to get the child away. At this time, Yan Yongnong already regarded the child's life as more important than his own.
The child immediately showed his sensible side: "The flood washed you away, I will be miserable, I have no parents, and I have no you, I have no Bamu (to rely on) in this world." God is so unfair to me, I smashed the sky with one stone. Yan Yongnong's heart hurt when he said a few words, and his eyes were full of tears. He put the child on his shoulder: "Unless your parents find you and take you away, no force can separate us." ”
Once again, disappointed and exhausted, it seemed that the father and son were not related to each other, but two people who were not related by blood at all, walking in the mountains that covered the moon. The moon leaped over the top of the mountain, shining brightly on the path beneath their feet. As he walked, Yan Yongnong felt that the moonlight was getting less and less bright, "The sky has changed, and the moon has penetrated into the clouds?" Yan Yongnong thought. He looked up and saw the shining stars blinking, and a part of the moon was clouded, and the shadow was widening and darkening.
"The tengu is eating the moon, the road is unknown, and we have to stop and rest. Yan Yongnong said.
"The tengu ate the moon, and we couldn't find our way, so we stayed here for the night?" asked the child.
"No, the moon will come out and shine on us back later. Yan Yongnong said.
"Didn't you say that the tengu was eating the moon, and it would automatically spit out the moon it ate?" the child asked again.
"It's certainly reluctant. Yan Yongnong said.
"What then?" the child asked.
"Now the whole world is beating gongs and drums and setting off firecrackers to drive away the tengu! The tengu ran so frightened that he ran so far that he opened his mouth wide and breathed, and the moon slammed into his belly, and in less than two hours the moon would slip out of the dog's mouth and shine again. Come, let's sit down and watch how the moon eats and spits out. You're blessed to have seen the whole ring process of the tengu eating the moon at such a young age, and it's only the first time I've seen it at this age!"
They sat on a stone slab, the child's chin resting on Yan Yongnong's knees, and his hands hugged Yan Yongnong's thighs. Yan Yongnong's long arms crossed the child's back and grasped the child's thighs with thick hands. They looked up at the sky at the same time, and saw that the light side of the moon was getting smaller and smaller, like a small boat and a sickle, and at last there was only a bright arc. Then the arc slowly thickened, like a sickle like a boat, and then the shadow swept away, and a silver platter hung high in the sky. Seeing this, adults and children breathed a heavy sigh of relief. The child asked, "Can we see the moon, can the moon see us?"
"I must be able to see Sa, look, the moon's eyes are bright!" Yan Yongnong replied.
"Can he see everybody on the earth, then?"
"Of course, it can see not only people, but also small things like ants and mosquitoes. ”
"It must have seen my parents, it must have known where my parents were, but it's so tall I can't go up and ask it. Alas, it doesn't speak, and I've never heard the moon speak. ”
"The moon speaks, it comes into your dreams like a fairy when you are asleep, and tells you what you want to know. It will also bring your parents to you in your dreams. ”
"Really? I can see my parents in my dreams? That would be great! Oh, then I'll sleep now, I'm going to dream now, I'm going to see my parents soon." The child believed it.
"Okay, you can sleep on my back!" Yan Yongnong let the child climb on his back and hurried away with him on his back.
