Chapter 55: It's not for nothing
"Okay, this is the origin of 'Ya'er Qingshan ascetic, with a bright dream of lotus crossing, children love the small world, and have not tasted their long-cherished wishes in death'. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Man Shengsheng finished speaking, and the memories made her wake up like a dream.
Xiao Ju listened carefully throughout the whole process, and did not interrupt her, even more unsatisfied:
This story is just the origin of these two sentences, isn't it, and it can't reflect the allusion of the son's 'daughter's love is long in the world, and her long-cherished wish is not lost'. β
"Hehehe. β
Man Shengsheng snickered: "Why? Listen so seriously, don't you think my story is broken?"
"I have my own conclusion on whether it is broken or not, you continue to speak, and there are other sources of inspiration for the lyrics. Xiao Ju said seriously.
Man Shengsheng stretched, she didn't mind that he was so humorless or one-eyed, because after two years of tempering, she had already gotten used to it.
"If you want to talk about the origin of other lyrics, it's even more incredible, I won't talk about it tonight, the coming day is long, and when there are really melon seeds that you can say while sipping, let's continue. As for the origin of the lyrics of the first two lines, in fact, I have also simplified the story of Monk Zhuyan, because it has been too long, and there are many details that I can't remember clearly. β
"In other words, the person who sold the sugar gourd told you a long story at the time, and you only remembered the outline and forgot the details, right?"
"You're so persistent!" said Man Shengsheng as he continued to stretch his waist. After yawning, she rubbed her eyes, which were gradually sleepy, and said tiredly:
"No, how could a sugar gourd seller tell a story too complicated to a 6-year-old child, you just listened to my version that was slightly enriched from memory. The specific details and development of that story were actually told to me by my father later, little by little, over many years, until ...... Until he disappeared. β
"Missing?" Xiao Ju was surprised.
"Well, hopefully it's missing, or maybe it's sunk in the sea. Her voice was a little dejected. Xiao Ju immediately apologized:
"Well, I'm sorry. β
"It's okay, fact, he left suddenly that day...... He never came back. I had accepted it a long time ago, and I was still surviving as if it was a prison life. β
She mentioned prison again and again, was prison life really as unbearable as she hated? Did she suffer something in prison, Xiao Ju couldn't help but wonder.
"However, I feel that everything is going in a good direction. You know, I've been looking forward to this atmosphere tonight for a long time. She slowed down her emotions and said in her heart.
"Tonight?, this kind of hungry and at the mercy of others?" Xiao Ju asked puzzled.
She shook her head and denied, "No, I mean the day I can sit with you and talk for so long." Do you know why I like to keep finding fault with you, arguing with you, and finding fault with the work of my employees. β
"I don't know. Xiao Ju replied frankly.
"Because that's what I'm looking forward to the most. I don't have any friends in a low-rent house, and the only place where I can talk freely is the forest farm. I think that since we are working partners and you don't know anything about my past, then we can talk without barriers. But, hey......"
She sighed, "Who knows, you just don't like to talk to me, and even avoid me more obviously than those who know I'm in prison." Why is that? I pondered for a long time.
Later, I finally found out that your unsmiling and taciturn words were not aimed at me, because you didn't seem to be very interested in people and things other than your fiancΓ©e. Later, as Officer Long came more often, I was relieved, probably because you were a frustrated person, so you didn't want to have too much to do with others. β
"Do you really think that I love Xiaoyou?"
Xiao Ju suddenly asked rhetorically, Man Shengsheng blinked suspiciously, and also asked back:
"Isn't it...... You guys...... Do you really quarrel? You show that you love her very much, as long as she is in the forest farm, she is almost inseparable from you, and the two of you are like glue. That night, the night you left for a cruise and a big bird rushed into my room, did you have an awkward relationship with her?"
"That night?" Xiao Ju thought for a moment:
"No, I told you, she wasn't there that night. β
"Don't lie, I heard you downstairs...... What's that. β
She paused embarrassedly:
Later, she seemed to be very unhappy and called a few times. Oh, I see, you shouldn't be making a fuss about this, you must be too hungry and thirsty, hum. β
I see, the reason why Xiao Ju didn't take Xiao Ju and got on the boat again is very clear. Man Shengsheng was smug and felt that things were just as she had deduced.
"What?"
Xiao Ju didn't understand what she meant by "what". He pondered it for a while, and finally realized that this stupid woman thought that he and Xiao were at home that night!
"Oh...... No wonder you didn't let me take the medicine that night, telling you that you still don't believe it, you have to say that you are downstairs again, so you think I am talking to her!"
Xiao Ju suddenly chuckled twice, Man Shengsheng didn't understand what was funny about this, but Xiao Ju seemed to think about it more and more wrong, and couldn't stop laughing, and there were words in his mouth:
"It's such a mistake to let you live upstairs, and your mind can't be a little less cranky all day long. However, this time, I have to really study how to poke it...... Go poke its chrysanthemum, hahahaha......"
"Poke the chrysanthemum?!You be quiet!"
Xiao Ju's abnormal smile made Man Shengsheng feel that he was really not ashamed! After all, it was the private things between the two, how could he laugh so arrogantly, and he couldn't stop poking chrysanthemums or chrysanthemums, anyway, she felt very ashamed.
She hurriedly stopped his laughter, afraid that the neighbors would hear it, but Xiao Ju was like taking the wrong medicine, and he couldn't stop. No way, she could only reach out and forcibly cover his mouth, and he dodged for a long time before stopping:
"Haha, uh-huh...... Okay, okay, since you care so much about Xiaoyou and my affairs, then put aside the topic of the lyrics for now, and I'll tell you about Xiaoyou first, anyway, it's what you want to ask. β
Xiao Ju finally calmed down, but he still thought about it and smiled.
"I ...... I don't want to listen. β
Man Shengsheng probably felt that the atmosphere should become very awkward, just like she was upstairs that night and didn't dare to come out, so she didn't want to continue the topic.
Xiao Ju looked up at the sky, and in the sky after the rain stopped, a bright moon was hanging high in the sky:
"It's almost dawn, and our conversation is coming to an end. He said with some regret.
"Then don't talk about it, tell me about the stories in the lyrics that you just said, and see how they differ from the version I've heard. β
Man Shengsheng still felt embarrassed, or ...... An unknown sense of loss swelled up in her heart inexplicably, just when Xiao Ju laughed for the sake of being small.
Xiao Ju thought for a moment, and his tone regained his previous composure and mystery. He asked:
"Do you know why we're here?"
Man Shengsheng shook his head: "You know what?"
"Yes. Xiao Ju replied without hesitation.
He knows?
Man Shengsheng thought strangely, just now the two of them were still in the rain devouring forest and couldn't figure out the situation like a headless fly, and finally had to compromise with Huqin's team, so they were brought here by them, why now they claim to know.
"Why?" she asked tentatively.
"Because, we all accepted the invitation......"
