Chapter 29: The Apricot and the Cicada

The dragon traveled eastward, and the king and the evil reached a village with the sunset. The apricot blossoms in front of the village are like snow, and the stream surrounds the village, which is clear and murmuring; The water bubbles with falling apricot petals, exuding a long and quiet fragrance.

Jun Wu stretched out his hand and took a few petals, as in the painting: "...... is here?" ”

Wang Xie: "Xinghua Village, I passed by here with Wei Feng before, and saw that this place is not only hidden like a paradise, but also the people are kind, not far from Qiu County, and not close to the distance, so I made an appointment with Wei Feng to meet here." ”

Jun Wu nodded, and Wang Xie stretched out his hand to her.

Jun Wu looked at it, Wang Xie looked at his palm, Jun Wu finally put his hand in his palm, and between the hands, both of them trembled.

Pulling Jun Wu, the corners of Wang Xie's mouth curled slightly towards the depths of the apricot blossom tree.

In the depths of the apricot blossoms, they came to a three-house bamboo house, the house is full of green bamboo, surrounded by canal water, simple and elegant, but not like ordinary people's homes.

Wang Xie knocked on the door, and the door was opened by a shepherd boy with a pigtail, and when he saw Wang Xie, he immediately turned a pair of round eyes, covered his mouth and said in surprise: "Ah, it's the brother in black!" ”

"Little Tiger Tooth." Wang Xie smiled and called him affectionately.

Little Huya pulled out his hand and grinned, revealing his two cute little tiger teeth, hugging Wang Xie's legs and jumping happily: "Brother in blackBrother in black, I've been waiting for you to teach me martial arts again!" ”

Wang Xie touched his head: "Haha...... Do you want to practice well every day? ”

Little Huya nodded, "Yes, yes!" ”

"That's right, then this time my brother taught you a great trick."

"Roar! Okay, okay...... I like my brother in black the most! Little Huya jumped up happily.

Wang Xie also had a warm and doting smile in his eyes.

Jun Wu glimpsed it, and his mind drifted a little away...... If one day they have children...... In an instant, he cut off his dirty thoughts and shook his head.

What are you thinking......

"What's wrong?" Wang Xie shook his head when he saw Jun Wuwu.

"No, no...... Affair. Jun Wu did something bad and waved his hand in a panic.

stepped forward, Jun Wu squatted down and touched the little tiger tooth, and asked him cordially: "Little tiger tooth...... Brother Wei Feng is available? ”

Xiao Huya looked at the beautiful and kind sister, and nodded with a blush: "Yes, yes." ”

"Okay, then please take us to meet him."

"Hmm!"

Saying that, Xiao Huya pushed open the door and actively led the way for Jun Wu and Wang Xie, and the two of them looked at him jumping innocently and carefree little back, and they couldn't help but have a smile in their eyes.

Jun Wu went in, and when she didn't see her mother and Wei Feng, she saw an open main hall inside the door. In the main hall sat a middle-aged man with a goatee and a strange demeanor sitting on a mossy stone, in a wide green robe.

Wang Xie called him: "Mr. Ram! ”

Little Tiger Fang called him: "Lord Ghost Fairy! ”

Jun Wu blinked, and saw the bluestone man open his eyes and look over.

The ram and Jun Wu's eyes met, Jun Wu's footsteps paused, only to feel that these pairs were a little born with Ji Liangli, but in their eyes that were a hundred times sharper, there were some things that went straight to people's hearts, and they penetrated her heart.

He "haha......" touched his goatee and got up, and when he walked under his feet, there was a burst of clogs.

Jun Wu saw that the autumn cold dew was heavy, and he only wore clogs and was barefoot

"Wang Xie is here......" sighed like a friend.

Wang Xie went over and saluted: "Mr. Nag." ”

The ram immediately supported him: "A little thing, a little effort." ”

Wang Xie looked at the ram gratefully

The ram looked sideways at Jun Wu, looked carefully at her face, and Qi Er narrowed, and there was a light: "This is ......"

Jun Wu stepped forward, "Sir, you can call me Ah Wu." ”

"Ah Wu ......"

The ram nodded: "Good name." As he spoke, he said straight to the point what Jun Wu was most anxious about at the moment, "Girl, you are late." Your mother and little sister have said goodbye to me yesterday and left for Bianliang. ”

Junwu: "Why ......?"

"Mrs. Jun only said that she didn't want to chatter, and she couldn't keep it."

"Mother......

Junwu: "I'll look for them, thank you, sir." ”

Saying that Jun Wu wanted to leave, Wang Xie wanted to catch her, but Mr. Ram stopped Jun Wu one step ahead of him: "Haha, I don't think the girl needs to be in such a hurry." I pointed out a shortcut to Bianliang and An'an with your mother and little sister, this night in the dew, the road is not clear, they should find a place to rest, how do you find it on the road. It's better to get up early tomorrow than to leave. ”

Jun Wu listened to what he said, it was not unreasonable...... Wang Xie came over, "What the gentleman said is that tomorrow I will go to the market to buy a horse, and if the gentleman shows the way, we will follow the road and we will find it quickly." ”

Jun Wu looked at the two of them and finally nodded.

That night, Jun Wu had dinner at the ram's place, and Wei Feng probably learned about the situation of her mother and Jun Yao, because her mother didn't know that the gambling ruffians had been burned to death, and she was afraid that they would catch up, so she hurried to Bianliang. Jun Yao was not worried about the Wang family, so Wei Feng must wait here for him and leave with her mother.

Jun Wu sat in a small room on the south side, thinking to himself.

Mr. Ram is an unusual hermit with his own demeanor and character. The simple room was also very well decorated by him. A character with a ghost written on it, the word 'ghost' on the left is like a portrait of the king of Hades, and the word 'two' on the right is like chasing a ghost. On the neat and smooth wooden table, a wooden pottery bottle, with apricot blossoms obliquely inserted, four peanuts, such as the four seasons, one or two with some dew that is about to fall has not yet bloomed, there are still some buds at the low roots that seem to be growing, the bottle can be seen in the quiet pool water, and the wind can smell a faint fragrance. The wooden bed is arranged in a boxy shape and covered with light-colored futon, which makes you feel surprisingly calming.

"The wind has a direction, and so do the people."

At dinner, this was what the gentleman had said to her, and his father had said it in a striking resemblance before his death.

Her mother and little sister should have rushed to join Bianliang's father's relatives, although the future is uncertain, it is reassuring...... But Jun Wu took out a half of the jade cicada tied with a red rope from the inside of his chest...... remembered the thing that his father confessed before his death, which had always been in her heart.

Scenes from the past.

In the house in front of Zeng, the osmanthus withered, like his father's dying life:

"Ah Wu...... Take this jade cicada, put it on your body, and put it on your body, as I am by your side. ”

"Daddy...... Don't go, don't leave Ah Wu. ”

"Ah Wu...... Daddy, I'm sorry for you. ”

"Daddy...... Don't go, don't die......"

"Child, don't cry, there will always be a time when people leave the world temporarily, but Dad believes that this does not mean the end, there is an afterlife, there is an afterlife. We made an appointment, I'm still your daddy, and you're still my proudest baby's daughter......"

"You mean we'll see each other again, and Daddy will come back and stay with me all the time."

"My silly girl is so smart."

"Hmmm! Then I won't cry! ”

"Ah Wu...... Dad has a lot of things to say to you, but he doesn't have the time and energy, so he will explain the most important thing to you. ”

"Dad, you say, Ah Wu remember."

"Girl...... You are open-minded and responsible, but you are affectionate but affectionate, very similar to an old acquaintance of your father, but it is a pity that she died in a shocking sigh. In the future, you must not repeat her fate and be burdened by those close to you. Remember, the wind has a direction, and so do the people; When the wind rises, people should rise at any time and go to the place where you are destined to be. ”

"Daddy...... I don't understand. ”

"When you become an adult, you don't have to care about the whereabouts of your mother and little sister, go to Bianliang to find the owner of the other half of this jade cicada, he is younger than you, and he is the descendant of the old friend I just mentioned. If the father owes that person, it will be difficult to see if he does not pay it back in this life. If he is helpless after being found, take good care of him; If he is doing well, he will not bother; You have been taking this jade cicada with you, go where you want to go, meet your worthy beloved, and see the jade cicada as if I am still by your side and watching you. If...... The owner of the other half of the jade cicada is in danger, you put together half of the jade cicada of each of you, and go to a butcher named 'Pi', who will tell you what to do next. ”

"Daddy...... Who is that man? What is it called? Why should I go to him again? ”

“…… Ah Wu...... You've got to find him, you've got to ...... He is the answer you have come to this world, and I don't owe her...... No...... Owed...... Chu Hua, are you here to pick me up...... Be...... ......"

"Daddy! Father! Father......! ”

"Ah Wu, Ah Wu......" Wang Xie shook her.

Jun Wu didn't know when he woke up from his dream and looked at Wang Xie in a daze.

Seeing the tears on her face, Wang Xie looked sad and sad, and couldn't help squatting down and stroking the cold tears on her face, feeling a little pain.

"Why are you crying?"

Jun Wu blinked his eyes, "I, do you have a ......" he said, his voice astringent.

The eyes blinked, and tears poured out.

"Can I hold you?" Suddenly, she said.

I can't see his appearance clearly, I just want to have a shoulder, she can cry bitterly. After his father's death, he was mourned, comforting his mother and sister, worrying about his livelihood, guarding against Gao's family, and even forgetting to find an outlet for himself to vent during the most painful time.

Like a late mourning and longing, perhaps this garden full of apricot blossoms, mixed with mud...... Evoke a kind of long-term thinking.

Wang Xie got up and pressed her head in front of him, stroked her hair, and said softly: "At this moment, whatever you want, I will answer you." ”

Jun Wu stretched out his hand and hugged him tightly, crying in a low voice.

Outside the window, the apricot blossoms are slowly falling, and the dust and mud are dissipated.
