Chapter 351: The Acacia Flower in Qiusheng's Mind (Second Watch)
Qiusheng nodded and agreed.
He looked at his brother and stopped talking.
When it was easy to make up his mind to speak, Lin Chun jumped off the tree.
He had no choice but to stare at the young men and women under the tree, and his heart was full of envy and bitterness.
The cuckoo was burning a fire by the earthen stove and roasting a wild duck; There is a casserole buried next to the fire, simmering wild duck mountain mushroom soup; There is an iron pot on the earthen stove, and rabbit meat is stewed in the pot.
Lin Chun came to the cuckoo's side and asked with concern, "Are you better?" ”
The cuckoo said, "Good morning." I was caught off guard just now. ”
Lin Chun sat down on a stone and watched her roast duck.
After looking at it for a while, he suddenly said: "Everything is good here, but the road in is not easy to walk, and there are many dangers in the mountains." But if it weren't for these, outsiders would have found it long ago. ”
The cuckoo nodded, "Danger always goes hand in hand with opportunity. As much happiness as you enjoy, you have to endure as much suffering. Otherwise, such a large area of good places will be given to you for nothing? The beasts of the mountains are not happy! ”
Lin Chun laughed when he heard this.
After a while, he whispered to her with his dark eyes: "I really want to move here with you now, slowly build a house, open up wasteland and farm, build a boat and catch fish." The eldest brother is here alone, and I don't feel too worried about him. ”
There was warmth all around, and the forest was quiet for a while.
The cuckoo was silent, forgetting to flip the duck in his hand, and was roasted by the fire.
Lin Chun didn't say anything, quietly staring at the cheeks that were reflected by the firelight.
It wasn't until he smelled a smell of burnt incense that the cuckoo woke up and hurriedly turned the branches.
"It's baked."
She smiled at him.
"I'll come. You rest. ”
He took the branch that wore the mallard from her hand.
The cuckoo let him roast and spoke to him softly.
"Books still have to be read. It is not easy to worship Master Zhou as a teacher, and this opportunity was missed. You may regret it later. Brother Qiusheng...... There must be some hardship, which is also a kind of exercise for him. Just like me. Before, I didn't know anything. ”
"Oh, I thought so too. So I left him alone with a ruthless heart. ”
"Wait a few years. It's definitely more beautiful here. ”
……
Lin Chun suddenly asked: "You say, when it's done here, will Xia Sheng and Dong Sheng come to see it, and they don't want to stay at home anymore, so they have to move here?" ”
The cuckoo was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and said, "It's really possible." ”
Lin Chun said with a smile: "If the whole family really moved here, it would be good." ”
The cuckoo hurriedly said, "What about your house?" ”
Lin Chun didn't care and said: "There are so many uncles, I'm afraid that no one will live." ”
Cuckoo said: "You did it yourself!" ”
Lin Chun said with a smile: "When I help others build houses and make household utensils, I don't want to make them myself? I can't just make things for myself in this life. Give up the house to relatives. It's just for them, it's all about practicing their craft. ”
The cuckoo was speechless, but there was always some regret in his heart.
Lin Chun glanced at her, then retracted his gaze to focus on the roast duck, and seemed to say to himself: "The more I do, the better my craftsmanship will be." The future will definitely be better than the previous one. ”
The cuckoo listened and smiled a little embarrassedly.
As he spoke, the duck was roasted.
Lin Chun raised his head and shouted, "Brother, it's time to eat." ”
Qiusheng agreed. Slipped down the trunk of the tree.
The staple of dinner is the cold steamed buns brought in, and there are only three left; There is also roast duck, duck mushroom soup, and the cuckoo pulls out a mud-wrapped roast chicken from the fire. Plus rabbit meat and roasted mushrooms, all of which are made from local materials. I was reluctant to cook the rice grains I brought, so I had to leave it to Qiusheng.
The three of them ate around the fire. It is said that roast wild duck tastes good.
About this valley, Lin Chun and the cuckoo seemed to be unable to speak.
Qiusheng silently. Ask a question, and then answer.
Wait until you're done. They put away the pots and pans and went to the water to wash them together.
It was the eleventh night of the lunar month, and it was almost fifteen, because the weather was clear, the moon shone down in the sky, and the valley became more and more quiet and quiet; Smoke rises from the surface of the water, and the island in the middle of the water looms, which is extremely beautiful; From time to time, one or two frightened birds flew up and chirped, making the night more silent.
Looking up at the surrounding mountains, halfway up the mountain is also covered with mist.
After washing the dishes, the cuckoo stood by the water, sighed contentedly, and didn't even want to speak.
In such an environment, the speech seems too noisy and scenic.
If it is a whisper, it is redundant, it is better not to be silent.
Lin Chun took off the hole flute from his waist and blew it.
The cuckoo felt that the melodious sound of the flute was more pure and immaculate than ever, as if in this deep mountain far away from the world, the person who played the flute had forgotten the love and hatred of the world, so he blew out the pure sound of nature, just like the birdsong in this valley and the clear sound of the mountain spring.
After the song, Qiusheng is already crazy.
Suddenly, he said: "Chun'er, if I bring the acacia flowers, will it be successful?" ”
In the place where the future home was built, on the eve of Xia Sheng's marriage, when Chunsheng and the cuckoo faced each other, he suddenly felt very lonely, and a strong desire welled up in his heart: to live here in hiding with Huaihua, and no longer pay attention to those calculations of right and wrong, ignore gossip and fame.
This question is like a pebble that breaks through the calm water.
Several birds on the shore took off and flew towards the island in the middle of the water.
After a long time, the cuckoo said softly: "Brother Qiusheng, you will definitely be able to find your own 'acacia flower'." ”
Qiusheng was overjoyed and asked, "Azalea said I can pick up the locust flowers?" ”
Lin Chun said quietly: "No." The locust flower you think in your heart is not the locust flower you see. You want a 'locust flower' to accompany you to hunt in the wasteland, and give birth to babies for you, just like our mother and our father, just like Sister Que'er to her second brother. However, she is not the locust flower in our village. That acacia flower, she won't accompany you with peace of mind. ”
Qiusheng closed his eyes in a gloomy manner, feeling that the moonlight reflected on the water surface was a little dazzling.
After a while, he whispered: "She is still young, she also suffered a big loss this time, and almost lost her life, what if she knew that she was wrong and regretted it and wanted to change it?" If I take her here, and she sees that I am like this and treats her like this, will she not be grateful? She couldn't think about it before, but it also depends on how good you are to the cuckoo. She was not convinced, so she went the wrong way; When she sees me so good to her. She'll want to come over, and she'll live with me. If that's the case. You won't spare her? ”
Lin Chun and Du Juan were silent, not knowing what to say.
Du Juan looked at the lonely Qiusheng and sighed secretly: This baby has a virgin plot, he and Huaihua have a skin-to-skin relationship by mistake, and he can't let it go.
However, Qiusheng wants to live a simple and stable life, is Huaihua Ken?
Lin Chun didn't get angry, he stared at the black island in the center of the water.
He thought he wouldn't have to go to bed too early at night and build a raft later. Tomorrow I will also build a wooden house on the island, so that the eldest brother will have two places to live, which is more guaranteed.
After thinking about it, he turned his head to Qiusheng and said: "Huaihua is not ugly, no one wants it, there are many male babies in the village who like her: Huang Xiaobao, the Shi family, and many others." She can see that you like her, and this time she protects her like this, and she is not stupid. I don't know if I can live a good life if I marry you? But look at her, she didn't recognize you at all before, and she didn't want to marry you; Later, he couldn't deny it, and he was cornered again. I said I want to marry you. Do you think she is willing to live with you like this? If you get married, you really won't cause trouble for me and Cuckoo anymore? ”
Qiu Sheng's heart twitched fiercely, and he leaned forward in pain. Clasp your hands around your knees.
He suddenly hated the acacia flower.
Strange, so many days. For the first time, he hated the locust flower.
Hate her for being blind and blind!
She looks smart. But it's the stupidest of all.
She and the cuckoo can't be compared: when the cuckoo saw that Huang Yuan wanted to accept the hookah, she knew how to turn back, knew how to turn, and knew how to let go, but she went all the way to the black ......
By the way, she is still harmful!
With such a vicious girl, he better not think about it.
But why does my heart hurt so much?
The sorrow of autumn is like smoke on the surface of the water.
The cuckoo was infected first, and couldn't help but say, "Brother Qiusheng, you will definitely be able to find your own 'locust flower'." ”
His own "acacia flower"?
Qiusheng listened as if he understood it.
Lin Chun continued: "When you build a house here, open up the wasteland, and everything is in order, are you afraid that you won't be able to find your daughter-in-law!" If you bring Huaihua and she refuses to change it and do something else, then your efforts will not be in vain. What are you going to do then? Strangled her with your own hands? What if she gives birth to you? Big brother, daughter-in-law is not like clothes, if it is not good, change it; If your daughter-in-law doesn't marry well, she will trouble you for the rest of your life! ”
When the cuckoo heard this, he suddenly wanted to laugh.
She remembered what Liu Bei said in the Three Kingdoms: Brothers are like siblings, and wives are like clothes.
Lin Chun has this opinion, which can be regarded as unique.
But it's no wonder that for the people at the bottom, whether ancient or modern, if a daughter-in-law doesn't marry well, it will be a lifetime of trouble, and it is impossible to change it like changing clothes; Even if you change it, it will leave a scar on your heart.
The younger brother's words made Qiusheng very entangled and uncomfortable.
He instinctively thinks in a good direction, but his relatives constantly remind him of the cruel ending, he does not know the right direction of the future, and the choice is inevitably painful.
Next, Lin Chun talked about his future plans, and repeatedly emphasized: In the future, he will come here with Du Juan to settle down, so as to warn the eldest brother and stop thinking about acacia flowers.
Qiusheng didn't have time to think about it, because Lin Chun said that he took advantage of the big moon to build a raft.
The three of them got busy under the moon.
Bundle up a raft and finally be able to rest.
The cuckoo slept in the hut, and the brothers leaned against the branches, like the wind under the tree.
Qiusheng slept until midnight when he heard someone crying on the mountain: "Don't go, don't go!" ”
He looked around and shouted, "I'm not leaving, I'm not leaving!" ”
But Chun'er ran and pulled him to run, and he was not allowed to turn back......
"Brother, brother!"
Someone pushed him.
He opened his eyes and saw Chun'er holding his shoulders and shaking.
Moonlight leaked through the branches overhead, flecks jumping.
He sighed and said softly, "I'm fine." ”
So I moved my legs, changed positions, and went back to sleep.
The cuckoo was also awakened, pushed open the door of the cabin and asked Lin Chun, "What's wrong?" ”
Lin Chun said in a low voice: "It's okay, you sleep yours." ”
The next morning, they started to get busy.
He carried the cut trees up to the island on a raft and built a well-equipped cabin on the island. Even a simple wooden bed was made, a small square table was made, and a few wooden piers were planed to be used as stools; The bucket and the tub were made, the stove was built, and it was busy all day, until the middle of the month.
There were also trees on the island, but they didn't cut them.
Those trees should be kept as much as possible, otherwise it is easy to startle the birds.
