Chapter 5: Light work
"Little girl, why can't you get up when you wake up." The old man's babbling voice sounded in my ears again.
She frowned and decided to accept the fact that it was a big deal to live again. Thinking about it, she sat up on the ground, "Well, my name is Li Anyue!" ”
Now that I'm alive, let's try to live, and since God has given me this opportunity, then I can't waste it in vain.
"Ouch, you little girl suddenly scared me to death like this, can you talk well......" The old man was obviously startled, rubbed the ground a meter away from her, and just wanted to complain that he was glared back by the old woman's eyes, obviously the old man was afraid that the old woman would be angry.
"An Yue, is it? Then I'll call you Yue'er, Yue'er, come and sit down here, and let my mother-in-law check your pulse again. The old woman smiled and beckoned her to sit down, it seemed to be a very kind person, but the so-called defense is indispensable, it turned out that she was killed without guarding, she looked at the old woman in front of her, the old woman had a warm smile in her eyes, and she didn't understand her concerns.
Well, I've already died once, so why be afraid of dying again. Thinking that she exhaled, there was a great momentum of heroic sacrifice, and she suddenly stretched out her hand.
"Well, it's not a big deal, you choked on water and fell into a coma for two days, and now you're just a little weak, and you'll recover after a day or two of recuperation." The old woman apparently didn't look at her behavior, but just took her own pulse, and then patted the back of her hand as if comforting, which made her a little ashamed.
"Thank you to the two seniors for saving me, I don't know what to call the two seniors?" She tried to do what she saw the ancients talking like she saw on TV, and it was quite smooth.
"Don't be a senior, just a bad old man and a bad old woman. If you don't dislike it, just call my mother-in-law and call him an old man. When the old man heard this, he was about to retort, but when he saw the old woman's eyes, he immediately gave up.
"Yes, mother-in-law. Dare to ask my mother-in-law, how did I get here? According to Li Anyue's memory, he fell into the stream, but he was completely unconscious.
"In the morning, old man, when I went to the west to fetch water, I saw you floating from upstream, and you were lucky to meet the old man, and I was so kind to ...... you," the old man praised himself and gushed endlessly.
"Yue'er, don't listen to his nonsense, but you really fell into the stream, and there is no one in this radius of a hundred miles, it is a miracle that you are still alive after soaking in the water for so long, and God wants to keep you."
Providence...... "God, you're playing with me," she muttered. There is no one in a hundred miles? Do you know where Peach Blossom Village is? Where does my house seem to be? "God, how far has this Li Anyue floated.
"Peach Blossom Village, we haven't been out of this valley, so we haven't heard of it either." The old woman shook her head, but when she saw her disappointed look, she said, "But don't worry, as long as you follow this river all the way up, you will always find your home." Now that you're not completely well, you might as well stay here and recuperate for two days before the old man sends you back. ”
There is no way to do it now, so it can only be like this, by the way, take advantage of the past two days to sort out her thoughts, so she nodded at them. The old woman brought a bowl of medicine and told her to drink it, she smelled it, and knew that it was just a few Chinese medicine for regulating the body, so she also drank it obediently.
After that, I don't know how long I slept in a daze, but in my dreams, the memories of my previous life and Li Anyue's memories were always mixed and flooded, and when I woke up, I found that the thin shirt on my back was wet. She sat in front of the bronze mirror and looked at the face seriously, Xu felt very natural because of her eyes, the girl in the mirror had a pointed chin, but because she was still small, her cheeks were still fleshy, and a pair of big black eyes made the whole face look much smarter, and it looked like she should be a beauty when she grew up. Thinking of this, I felt a lot of comfort, so I tied my loose hair with a ribbon and made a ball, which was also delicate and cute.
She looked down and found that the clothes on her body had changed at some point, replaced by a white gauze gown with a bright yellow belt tied around her waist. Nodding, it's quite in line with my heart.
She opened the door and walked out, and found that it was noon, and the sun above her was as tight as if it had not rested for a moment. She squinted her eyes and looked around where she was, standing on a small two-story building made of bamboo, and on the left side of the house was a small vegetable garden with greens, tomatoes, and peppers...... There are also some things planted on the right, some of which have small flowers that look like medicinal herbs.
The old woman who was squatting in the vegetable field to pick vegetables heard the sound of the door opening, and when she turned around, she saw a little person in a white gauze skirt standing there looking, and seemed to be stunned for a moment. "Mother-in-law!" The little man came down the stairs with small steps.
"Hey, is Yue'er hungry? My mother-in-law is getting ready to cook. The old woman saw Li Anyue coming over and holding her little hand and asked.
"It's fine." Li Anyue bent her fingers a little uncomfortably, "Mother-in-law, it's just you and the old man here...... Grandpa two? ”
“…… Well, it's time for the old man to come back. ”
"Look, old woman, I caught a big fish today! Just make up for Yue'er! As soon as the words fell, I saw the old man appear outside the bamboo fence with a fish still fluttering in his left hand, and he was a little overjoyed when he saw Li Anyue, an old naughty boy who was alive. Yue'er, you really look like a butterfly in these clothes, old woman, don't you see ......"
"Butterfly?" Li Anyue looked at the old woman who wanted to speak and stopped, too, this house is for the two of them, and there are also children's clothes, just thinking about it is suspicious.
The old woman glanced at the old man uncomfortably, took the fish, and said to Li Anyue, "Yue'er, I'll make some fish soup for you, the old man is crazy, don't pay attention to him if you say anything strange." After saying that, he left two old and one young and went into the kitchen.
"How can anyone say that about their own man, really." The old man scratched his head and muttered a few words when he saw the old woman walking away, and looked down to see Li Anyue staring at her with big eyes, which was indeed quite similar.
"Grandpa, who are the butterflies you just mentioned?" Li Anyue didn't call him an old man, after all, he was also a lifesaver.
"I'm telling you, don't tell your wife." The old man bent down and whispered in her ear, "Hook." ”
Li Anyue pursed her lips and reluctantly stretched out her immature little finger. I don't seem to have done this kind of low-IQ behavior in my memory.
"Let's go, let's go over there, this sun is going to burn the dead." The old man looked at Li Anyue's little face that was flushed with the sun, and pulled her down to the jujube tree at the door. The jujube tree also looked to be decades old, and it was just full of fruit, falling among the dense leaves.
"Yue'er, let's go to the tree and pick some dates to eat by the way."
"But I can't climb trees." Li Anyue looked at his height of more than one meter, plus he seemed to be malnourished, thin and weak, and it was estimated that he would not be able to climb the six or seven meter tall tree.
"Hehe, let me show you the old man's skills." The old man smiled mysteriously, and Li Anyue felt the wind in his ears, and when he came back to his senses, he was already sitting peacefully on the tree.
It's hard to do it, this is the legendary light work! Li Anyue was stunned, you must know that what she has longed for most since she was a child is to learn the amazing light skills depicted in martial arts novels, so that she can go wherever she wants without effort, and no longer have to be restrained, but in modern times, I have always thought that light skills are not to jump farther, but I didn't expect it to be true. The ancients, don't deceive me!
"What, scared? Come, eat two dates to suppress the shock. The old man looked at the stunned Li Anyue proudly, and stuffed two big green dates in her hands.
"Grandpa, that, you just now, light, light work?"
"Yo, you little kid still knows light skills, yes, this is the old man's 'one-step cloud method', amazing, you can leap over 100 meters in an instant, you have to know that the old man's body method was resounding in the Tianyue Kingdom back then, the so-called everyone knows and everyone knows, at that time, ......" The old man's chatter couldn't be stopped as soon as he opened.
"Can you teach me?" Li Anyue was so fascinated by this that he hurriedly asked.
"Of course you can, it's a little thing...... Eh, no, no, no, this old man can't be the master, he has to listen to the old woman. As soon as the old man was about to say yes, he thought of something, and his head shook like a rattle.
"Dead old man, it's okay to take Yue'er to jump so high! Don't hurry down yet! Li Anyue was about to say something, when she heard the angry voice of the old woman under the tree.
The old man spat out his tongue mischievously, and then stopped and took her down. "Old woman, is the meal ready? Eh, it's so fragrant, my wife's craftsmanship is really good! Yue'er, let's go try it! As soon as he stood firm, the old man smiled and went up to coax the old woman, the old woman couldn't fight him, and twisted his ears with a gesture, and the two old men, who were obviously over half a hundred years old, were like a small couple at this time. Li Anyue looked at them, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously showed a smile.
"Look at you, it's not serious, but it makes children laugh." The old woman blushed, ignored them, and went straight into the house, and the remaining two hurried to follow.
Before entering the house, he smelled a charming fragrance, which Li Anyue didn't know how to describe for a while. I saw a plate of cabbage, a plate of braised eggplant, a bowl of tofu fish soup and a small plate of fried peanuts on a small square table. A few simple home-cooked dishes, but it made her throat feel dry. I wonder how Mom and Dad are now? Did they find out they were dead? Wouldn't it be sad? I vaguely felt liquid flowing out of my eyes, and hurriedly wiped my sleeve.
"Yue'er, what's wrong? Does the food look unappetizing? When the old woman saw her suddenly like this, she couldn't help but ask worriedly.
"No, no, it's just...... Suddenly homesick. Li Anyue lowered her head, and finally replied in a voice like a mosquito.
"Yes, something like this happened to such a young child......" The old woman touched her head and comforted her, and suddenly burst into tears.
"Mother-in-law, what's wrong with you?" Li Anyue suddenly felt a little careless and didn't look at her.
"No, it's okay, I remembered a little bit of the past. Let's eat first, and let the old man send you back tomorrow. The old woman wiped her tears and filled her with a bowl of fish soup.
"That's it! A woman is a woman, crying and crying all day long! Come, Yue'er, have a drink with the old man! The old man waved his hand impatiently, and brought a small gourd of wine from under the table.
"What nonsense, teach bad children!" The old woman glared at him dryly.
"How is it a bad teaching, haven't you heard of 'a pot of wine a day, a race over a living immortal'?"
"You're just, and you'll get drunk and go crazy here later."
