Chen Chi and Xu Shuangchuan rested a little and immediately went to the fruit grove on the back slope. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The orchards are almost entirely filled with citrus trees, and at this time, the trees are covered with fist-sized green peel fruits.

The ground is very clean, only a few small weeds, purslane and old stork grass are scattered on the ground, and occasionally small yellow and blue flowers bloom. The dandelion's parachute-like white hairball crown was already flying when Chen Chi inadvertently stepped on the thin stem, scattering into small needle-like flying seeds, which slowly landed on the upper of the subsequent Xu Shuang Drop.

Chen Chi was unconscious, staring straight at the tombstone in front of him, his eyes instantly red.

He knelt down in front of the grave, and in silence helped his uncle take out the offerings from the basket and place them.

"Mom, Chi Yanzi has come to see you. Wang Zhongde lit incense.

The fine smoke curled up, and soon melted into the sunlight, leaving only the white ash on the incense head, wrapped in the red light that was extinguished and extinguished, and burned down little by little.

"Chi Lingzi, the wine should be three rounds, and my uncle will add a glass to your grandmother first. Wang Zhongde explained.

He fell on one side and said: "Mom, what do you lack below, just give me a dream, if you are doing well, you don't have to come back often, don't worry about us, we are all fine." ”

Xu Shuangchuan led Wang Rui to stand aside, Wang Rui was small but clever, raised his little face and lowered his voice to tell Xu Shuangchuan: "Auntie, my grandmother lives in it." ”

Xu Shuangchuan touched his head and looked at Chen Chi, where he knelt and kept looking at the words on the tombstone.

"Chi Yanzi, sing a song to your grandmother and get up, go to a cool place to avoid it, and let your grandmother eat for a while and then come back to drink." Wang Zhongde said.

Chen Chi got up wordlessly, but refused to leave: "Uncle, when you go to the shade of the tree, I will stay here, so that little insects will not crawl into the bowl." ”

Xu Shuangchuan listened to Chen Chi's normal narrative tone, and he didn't know why, his nose was a little sour.

Wang Zhongde looked at Chen Chi and no longer persuaded him. Xu Shuang moved to the bottom of the tree, Wang Rui's childlike nature, stood in a regular manner for a while, and was about to drill around, and wanted to pull Xu Shuangchuan to play together.

"Shhh You know what?"

"I know, my grandmother is eating, we can't quarrel. ”

Xu Shuang was stunned: "You know?"

"The last time my grandfather brought me over, he told me about it. Wang Rui's eyes rolled, "Auntie, can you see my grandmother? ”

Xu Shuangchuan shook his head: "I can't see it either." ”

"What about Uncle Cousin?" Wang Rui looked back at Chen Chi.

Chen Chi stood quietly in front of the grave, the sun shining directly on him, the heat was unbearable, and the air behind him was so baked that the plants and trees were wilting, and he became more and more silent.

Xu Shuangchuan retracted his gaze and sighed lightly: "Your cousin can't see it either." ”

"Oh, everybody can't see it. Wang Rui nodded reassuringly, threw away the question after a while, and said softly, "Auntie, I'll help grandpa pull the weeds." ”

"Go ahead. Xu Shuangchuan patted him on the back.

Wang Rui walked on tiptoe, after seven or eight steps, looked back at Xu Shuang, smiled embarrassedly, and ran away. Xu Shuangjiang stared at his small body, and saw him wandering between the bushes, picking up a small branch, and happily whipping the weeds on the ground. Farther away, Chen Chi's uncle looked up under the trees and carefully observed, and as he walked, he uprooted a slightly taller red Liao plant and threw it aside to expose to the sun.

Xu Shuang turned his gaze and looked intently at Chen Chi in the sun.

The incense burned by half, Chen Chi bent down to pour the wine, Xu Shuang watched him seriously swipe a withered grass leaf by the side of the wine glass with his fingers, and couldn't help but squint at the bright sky.

She wondered how many times in a person's life would grieve and she couldn't avoid it.

Wang Rui looked around and found his grandfather: "Grandpa, I want to pee." ”

Wang Zhongde was picking up a green citrus that had fallen to the ground, looked at the broken pedicle distressedly, and frowned when he heard the words: "Go down to the tree and find one far away." ”

Wang Rui sighed and threw a small branch to drill forward. Wang Zhongde glanced at his little grandson and continued to inspect around the tree.

Life and death, staying together in the sun, are finally plain and tranquil.

Xu Shuang came back to her senses and looked at Chen Chi again, for some reason, his solemn silhouette made her chest full of sour and soft, she and Chen Chi would definitely live happily for a lifetime.

A third of the incense was burned, Chen Chi picked up the wine bottle, but stopped, and he looked towards the place where Xu Shuangjiang was standing.

After Xu Shuang was sluggish for half a beat, he walked towards Chen Chi knowingly.

"Frost, pour a glass for grandma. Chen Chi raised his head and said.

Xu Shuang lowered his head and took the wine bottle. The wine glass was already seven percent full, and she carefully added it to the rim. Putting down the wine bottle, she turned her head to look at Chen Chi, he knelt on the ground, the two looked at each other, Chen Chi's eyes were quiet and sad, the corners of his lips were slightly squirming, and he stopped talking.

Xu Shuang got up silently, bypassed the wine, vegetables and fruits, and knelt side by side beside him. The dry mud floor was a little dirty, and she lowered her eyes and looked at the tombstone respectfully.

Chen Chi took one of her hands, interlocked his fingers with her, and said in a low voice, "Grandma, this is frost." ”

The incense continued to burn little by little, and when I got closer, I could smell the unique fragrance. Xu Shuang was stupid and couldn't speak, she only thought silently in her heart, and sincerely thanked her grandmother for bringing Chen Chi up.

The two knelt silently for a few moments, and Chen Chi pulled Xu Shuang up, and said softly: "Shuangshuang, go down to the shade of the tree." ”

Not long after, Wang Zhongde came back and coaxed Wang Rui to kowtow to his grandmother. Wang Rui was also obedient, and after kowtowing his head in a good manner, he jumped back to Xu Shuangchuan in a few jumps, his eyes were shining, and he sneaked out of his trouser pocket: "Auntie, I found this, do you like it?"

Xu Shuang lowered his eyes and saw that it was a cicada.

"You can play by yourself, Auntie is older, don't play this anymore. ”

"Did you play with it when you were a kid?"

Xu Shuang was speechless, so she had to explain: "We girls don't play this." ”

"Why?" asked Wang Rui, puzzled.

Xu Shuangchuan had a feeling that the course of 100,000 whys was about to start, and she said helplessly: "We don't know why, so we won't play anyway." ”

Wang Rui let out an "oh", his little face was full of loss, and his aunt was not interested in the things he picked up.

Xu Shuangchuan regretted that she simply and rudely hit the little boy's heart, so he whispered: "This is a shell that has faded away, and it can only be picked up in trees or grass, we girls are relatively quiet, and we don't like to look everywhere, so we don't play much." ”

"Really?" Wang Rui seemed puzzled, "Yiyi at the east end of the village still took a pole to look for it on the tree." ”

Xu Shuang choked, so she had to be simple and rude again: "Shh, your grandfather and cousin are busy, let's not talk." ”

In front of the grave, Wang Zhongde and Chen Chi's uncle and nephew received the sacrifice and were turning paper money. There was a flame burning in the iron basin, some paper ashes flying in the flames, and the air above was so hot that a distorted and transparent mirror light faintly appeared.

Under the scorching sun, Wang Zhongde's sweat ran down his bronzed face. Xu Shuangchuan couldn't see Chen Chi clearly, he happened to be blocked by Wang Zhongde.

When the flames were extinguished, the mirror light faded, and the air returned to its original state, Xu Shuangchuan led Wang Rui forward, only to see that Chen Chi's hair was wet from the roots, and there were rows of beads of sweat like rice grains on his forehead.

"Let's go. Wang Zhongde said.

"Uncle, I want to spend some more time with my grandmother. Chen Chi looked at Xu Shuang, "Shuangshuang, you and your uncle go back first." ”

Xu Shuangchuan shook his head, Wang Rui didn't want to leave, and finally Wang Zhongde had to go back first: "Here, you are thirsty to eat apples." ”

Xu Shuangchuan couldn't refuse, and Wang Rui took an apple that had just been sacrificed, and also took Chen Chi's one in his hand.

She was understanding, and after her uncle left, she pulled Wang Rui and left: "Chen Chi, I'll go over there with Rui Yanzi." ”

"Find a shady place and don't get out of the sun. Chen Chi explained, "Eat the apples to replenish the water." ”

He was afraid that Xu Shuang would mind, so he specially explained gently: "The sacrifices used by the ancestors will be blessed with a long life if they are eaten." ”

Xu Shuangchuan nodded obediently and agreed, dragging Wang Rui away. (To be continued.) )
