Chapter 17: The Cold Wind Crosses
The weather was slowly getting colder, and although the sun was shining, the warmth had long since faded into the cold wind. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Hongchen Pavilion also gave the disciples tailor-made warm clothes, a small jacket that matched their age, a round face, and a tuan tuan tuan's clothes, which really looked like a scene of reunion; The fire was blazing, but there was no smoke, crackling, and it was imprinted on the faces of the people around it, and it was as red as an apple.
With the crackling of the firewood, Xie Xie was unwilling to be lonely, and took out the potatoes buried in the brazier.
"Haha, I'm really smarter than me, a famous baked potato."
"It's a baked potato, you're so funny!" Tu Yi said with a straight face, pursed his lips in oblivion, he was already used to Xie Xie being like this.
"If it weren't for the little junior brother who came up with a way to leave a letter in the bowl and say that he would bring a few potatoes next time, you would eat the ashes!" Tu Zhi continued, and looked at Forgetfulness with a smile, "The shameless person is not as good as you, and the British name is cheeky." ”
I couldn't hold back my feelings this time, he smiled hehe, and looked at Xie Xie with an expression of "see what you do". Xie Xie stopped flipping the potatoes, his face was sincere, but under the light of the firewood, he looked like a bride with a hijab.
The "bride" finally spoke at such a festive moment: "Good poetry! Good poetry! The talent of the senior brother is not as endless as that of Hedong, and the flow is more than 10,000, the younger brother is real, I really admire and admire! "After that, I hugged my fist and sent it away.
At this moment, the firewood suddenly crackled loudly, Xie Xie's eyes suddenly widened, complimenting the senior brother but helping to light the firewood?
"It seems that Senior Brother Tu can fully afford the respect of Senior Brother Xie, and even the firewood has responded by waving the flag and shouting." Forgetfulness narrowed his eyes, pulled the corners of his mouth and said, "What is this called, virtue and omen." ”
Tu Zhi nodded and smiled, with an expression that should be like this, Xie Xie looked uncomfortable, and muttered, "Why are you so shameless." As soon as he pouted like this, both of them laughed, and the meaning was self-evident.
At this moment, a voice rang out from the firewood, "Little forgetfulness, your mother brought something, open the door quickly, and the thing will arrive soon!" After listening to it, it was the voice of the crying elder, so he got up and went to open the door, he didn't think that Xie Xie would open the door first, and turned his head and smiled at Forget, and Forgetfulness returned an embarrassing smile, after all, his mind was not here now.
As soon as the door opened, the cold wind poured in, and Xie Xie shivered for a while, and then went back to the brazier. After closing the door, he looked forward to the round door outside the wing, hoping for the warmth that could be brought from the round door. For the time being, I can't feel the coldness of the wind, and there is only a long-soaked longing in my heart. After all, there is still the warmth of firewood left on his body, coupled with the warmth brought from afar, and he didn't go back to the room to take out the oil-paper umbrella.
In an instant, a white dot in the distance in the sky became more and more brilliant in the dark night, and slowly flew towards this side, getting bigger and bigger. Plopping and plopping, fan by fan, I guessed that it should be a bird. But when I got closer, I found that it was just a paper crane, but it was much larger than the one that had been folded, and it was almost the same as a real white crane. The paper crane has a burden around its neck, and the burden is bright red, like a fiery sun.
After a while, he went to the sky above the small courtyard of the wing, and swooped down diagonally from the round door with a whirlwind, and stopped at the place where he was at the height of his head in front of Forgetful Love. The paper crane fluttered its wings, its body was so low in the air, its neck was lowered, and it was just so forgetful that he reached out and took the package down, heavy. The paper crane swooped up, gently nodded the forgetful head with the paper beak, like an old man kissing it, and the voice of the crying elder sounded again: "Little forgetfulness, your mother brought us a letter saying that she is going to travel to Shenzhou to see if she can find a miracle cure for your body, so that you don't worry about her." ”
Carrying that heavy burden, she couldn't help but think of the mountains and rivers that accompanied the fox in the past, presumably without her own drag, she would be more unscrupulous to search far and wide, looking for a way to cure him. Under the heavy burden, he took the hand of forgetfulness, and also opened the curtain through the veil, and tears flowed down his cheeks silently.
The "paper crane" hurriedly fluttered its wings and said, "Little forgetfulness, don't cry." Your mother is also for your good, there are many strange people who rarely walk the world, it is not a secluded and dangerous place, and it is always more convenient for your mother to go alone. Listening to these words, tears rolled even more.
"Elder, I'...... If my mother goes to those places alone, is there no danger? Forgetfulness asked, a little worried.
"How can there be danger, the fox has an innate talent for perceiving danger, and your mother is such a safe person, if she is not very sure, she will not make twelve points of effort. So, rest assured, it's totally fine. ”
Hearing this, she was relieved to forget her feelings, she shouldn't do anything she was not sure about, and if she couldn't find it, she would also send a message over, and she could also look for her when she was successful in her cultivation.
"Thank you, Elder Wailing. I also asked you to deliver it yourself. Said respectfully.
"Are you scolding me for having a white beard and white hair, and being as old as a crane? It was my gadget 'paper crane' that sent it, not me 'personally'. As he spoke, the white crane flapped his wings a few more times.
"Mmmm, thank you for sending it to your old 'paper crane'." Forget the embarrassed smile, bent over and continued, "You are old, I will go back to the house first, it is still a little cold outside." ”
"Go, go, go, don't bother you eating potatoes!" "Paper Crane" said angrily, whirled, and flew towards the dark sky, the white of the figure was still so brilliant, and after a glance, he turned around and opened the door and walked in.
"Little junior brother, come over and bake the fire." Xie Xie beckoned to sit down.
"He just wants to see what your mother has sent you, junior brother." Tu Zhi took out the firewood and said calmly, Xie Xie had a little red face, but fortunately he could endure the firewood, and he couldn't see it at all.
"It's okay, Senior Brother Tu." Forget to sit down, put the burden on your lap, and gently open it.
The red cloth, the red firewood, and the red face all warm the heart.
Lying quietly on the red cloth is a vermilion box, the box can not be carved, but the texture also reveals a trace of antiquity. Forgetful and careful opened the box, and there were five objects inside. Two hairpins, both of which are hairpins carved with a plain flower at one end, and two spikes of thin chains hanging below the flowers, look closely at the appearance of leaves. A bracelet, all dressed in red with round square holes, was worn by a few black silk threads, coiled around a few times before resting there, and picked it up with a triumphant clang. The other two are also bracelets, except that the color of the object worn by the round square hole has changed to bronze, which is so different from the bracelet in front of it.
From the point of view of forgetfulness, Hu Yunhong knows the situation of their generation of disciples, and they specially choose such things. Tu Zhi and Xie Xie also found out about this situation, especially Xie Xie couldn't hide his joy, Tu Zhi just looked at Xie Xie calmly, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Although there was nothing else in the box, he also understood Fox Hong's intentions, so he pointed to those objects and said, "Senior brother, I'll pick this red bracelet." ”
Xie Xie smiled and took out a bronze bracelet and said twice. Tu Zhi also picked up the bracelet and said respectfully: "Little junior brother, when I see your mother in the future, thank her on my behalf." After all, it was the first gift I ever received. ”
"It's nothing, Senior Brother Tu." Forgetting smiled and waved his hand, he kept wrapping the bracelet around his left wrist, the red color contrasted with the small white of the little hand. Xie Xie felt that he didn't know how to be polite, and he was a little embarrassed, so he volunteered to send the hairpin to his senior sister and sister. I thought about it, and that's fine. Xie Xie immediately grabbed two hairpins and ran out, still holding his bracelet in the other hand.
"Slow down, don't break the hairpin!" Tu Zhi shouted at the closed door.
"It's okay!"
Tu Zhi also put the bracelet on his hand and shook his hand, well, it looks good. Forgetful was amused by his appearance, Senior Brother Tu, who had a square face, acted squarely and clearly, but he didn't expect there to be such an interesting side.
Tu Zhi reacted and laughed hesitantly.
In the laughter, the matches burned less and less, so he got up and went to the corner of the wall to take a bundle of firewood and put it next to the brazier, Tu Zhi picked up a few and added them to the brazier, crackling and the fire was strong again. Tu Zhi flipped the potatoes with a small wooden stick again, the skin was a little burnt, and it was estimated that it could be eaten, but Xie Xie hadn't come back yet.
Righteous thoughts chattered Xie Xie, and he came back, more eager than when he went. After opening the door, he sat straight by the brazier, and the two looked at him, holding hands and looking unhappy.
"What's the matter, I hate to be taught by my senior sister again?" Tu Zhi continued to flip the potatoes, looking at Xie Xie with an inquiring look, shaking the bracelet in his hand.
But Xie Xie didn't respond, Tu Zhi looked up like this, and his face was about to cry. The second monk didn't know what was wrong with him as if he was confused, so he just forgot to ask: "Senior Brother Xie, what's wrong?" ”
"Woo woo, senior sister, senior sister, she ......"
"She hit you?" The two asked in unison.
"No ......"
"Then why do you look like this?" Tu Zhi then asked.
"Woo woo, it's more hateful than hitting me, she ......" Xie Xie said and stretched out his hands, empty of nothing, "She snatched the first gift in my life from my little brother's mother, that is, the bronze bracelet!" I've robbed it! I'm not reconciled! ”
"Uh......" The two of them didn't have a word. Tu Zhi thought about it, the senior sister would never return it, after all, this was a special gift from the elders, although she didn't specify who it was for, but it could be seen at a glance, and she comforted Xie Xie out loud:
"Don't worry, Senior Sister will return it to you. She likes to tease you, but she can tell the difference. ”
Xie Xie thought about it, too. I was disgusted with my mouth, so my sister beat me. No, I don't have a bad mouth, I just love to eat. The sorrow is only for a moment, and Xie Xie can let it all go. Thinking like this, Xie Xie also focused on the baked potatoes. beckoning the other two to eat quickly, he took one step ahead and took a bite.
"Ahh It's hot, it's hot. ”
"Senior brother, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry."
"Little junior brother, I can eat baked potatoes in a hurry, but I can't burn him." Tu Zhi and Forgetful looked at each other, laughed, Xie Xie didn't care about anything else, and took another bite.
Laughter and laughter swirled around the flames of the firewood and were pushed to the roof. Even if I fell asleep, I still felt that there was still an aftermath on the beams of the house, and the sleeping forgetful right hand touched the red bracelet, feeling the warmth a little more, and the corners of my mouth smiled frequently.
With companionship, time just flies. Ok, there was company.
