When twilight fell, the cuckoo and cinnamon walked silently in the field, rarely speaking.

Occasionally, a word or two is also about the crops in the field on his side, and there is nothing else to say.

Guixiang wanted to open her mouth several times and talk to Du Juan about the afternoon, but she didn't know how to mention it. It's really embarrassing, she's a girl who hasn't married and is ashamed to talk about it, so don't talk about it.

Walking across the stone bridge, the sound of water rumbling from the embankment on the river hit the waterwheel under the dam and drove the water wheel to babble. The overturned cart carried the water up the river bank and down the ditch dug in the mountains.

It first flows through the leper's house, and then flows east into the pond in front of the cuckoo's house.

There is another outlet ditch on the east side of the pond, and then it flows in front of Li's house to the east.

The water moistens the dry land at the foot of the mountain. Most of the fields are grown with wheat and rapeseed, which stretch into patches. In the twilight, it is not lush and green, but it is dark and swarthy.

There are two stone paths in the mountains, which lead to the house of the cuckoo and the house of the leper on the slope.

The Li family is far away, so I can't see it clearly.

The cuckoo turned his head sideways and smiled at Guixiang: "Look, what is Erni washing by the ditch." ”

Guixiang took a look, and sure enough, there was a person squatting by the ditch in front of the leper's house in the west, and he didn't know what to wash. She hurriedly laughed and shouted, "Erni! ”

In the twilight, Erni looked up and asked happily, "Are you back?" ”

Cuckoo and Guixiang walked across a wheat field and approached to talk to Erni.

Living far away is less right and wrong, Erni didn't go to Lin's house to see the excitement, and of course she didn't know about the big trouble in the afternoon. When I saw the two of them, I naturally asked.

Guixiang told the story again.

Erni listened with a face full of disbelief, and said categorically: "It's impossible for Chunsheng to do this!" ”

Then he said, "Qiusheng won't do this!" ”

Guixiang pouted and said, "Brother Qiusheng has recognized it." ”

He said awkwardly: "The acacia flowers are pregnant with a baby." ”

Erni almost fell into the ditch when she heard this. It was easy to squat down, and then he said angrily: "You listen to her nonsense!" I'm not pregnant yet. She got pregnant in one go? It's only been a few days, and it's just that there are noses and eyes! ”

Cuckoo and Guixiang looked at each other when they heard this.

Guixiang said: "Huaihua Niang and Huaihua both said so. ”

Erni put the cleaned dishes and chopsticks into the basket. said: "Then it will take a few months, and it will be decided when it is manifested." What if you don't? ”

Cuckoo thought to herself. Whether it's or not, Qiusheng has to marry Huaihua.

She didn't want to say any more, so she said goodbye to Erni and went home.

Stepping on the stone steps, as soon as I came to the gate of the courtyard, I heard the sound of a young milk dog barking from the old yellow wooden door. When the cuckoo looked, he saw the black dog's eyes flickering between the gaps between the two wooden doors, and he barked vigorously while looking out, as if he was very wronged by being locked up at home.

Look at this. Listening to the barking of the dog, her heart settled.

Because he smiled at the door, "What's the noise?" Let you out, turn around and run to the mountains and get lost, and call the wolf to go, see what you do! ”

While scolding, he took out the key and opened the door.

Guixiang laughed when she heard this, and said, "It's so good like the wind, don't bite them." ”

As soon as the door opened, the two dogs rushed out. I saw that the cuckoo and the cinnamon went in. Hurriedly followed up with the courtyard, only circling around the feet of the two.

Before the cuckoo entered the door, he raised his head and whistled twice at the angel.

It's a call like the wind, and I don't expect it to come back.

Like the wind, he has to run to the mountains every night for a turn. Not sure when I'll be back. If you're close, you'll be back when you hear the whistle.

When I finished blowing and entered the door, I saw a colorful big cat standing under the east wall. bared his teeth at her, not like the wind. It didn't even go out.

A few steps away from it. A few hens and chicks huddled together and cowered at the base of the wall.

It's a strange situation: the tiger is napping on its back. The chicken squatted in front of the tiger's eyes, and the two puppies were all over the yard to have fun, and those who didn't know saw it and thought that when they arrived at the holy land of Buddhism, these animals were all influenced by the Dharma, and they were safe with each other.

The cuckoo smiled at Rufeng and said, "You didn't go out!" ”

Rufeng lazily rubbed her head next to her waist.

Over there, Guixiang was already scolding at the chicken: "Stupid chicken! It's been so many days, and I still can't learn to enter the cage. Blind! The chicken coop is right in front of you and you don't know how to enter? ”

While scolding, he angrily touched a thin bamboo pole from under the eaves of the porch, ran down the steps and forced the chicken into the chicken coop with the cuckoo.

The cuckoo laughed: "This chicken is stupid enough!" ”

I think they are not used to changing places, and they shrink under the wall as soon as it gets dark. The cuckoo had no choice but to catch them in the cage. After catching it for a few days, he didn't change it, and he and Guixiang forced the chicken into the cage with a bamboo pole; The coop is also opened late in the morning to allow them to settle into their new home.

Who knows that after these days, I haven't learned to enter the cage, it's not a stupid chicken!

Rufeng watched them catch chickens, and also helped to pick them up.

It bared its teeth and frightened the chickens away.

The cuckoo was busy drinking it, and did not let it do bad things with good intentions.

After a lot of chaos, it was easy to get all the chickens into the cage, Guixiang threw herself on the recliner under the porch, snorted twice and asked, "Immediately practice?" ”

Now Du Juan practices morning and night, and Guixiang and Erni follow suit.

The population of Quanshui Village is growing rapidly, and there are a number of fields in the valley, and living in the deep mountains must become a necessary means of livelihood, even if hunting is not the main business.

Erni doesn't care if she is a woman, she resolutely follows the cuckoo to learn. She said, there are treasures everywhere in this mountain, and only by training your body to be stronger can you have the ability to pick up treasures.

Guixiang saw the excitement and followed suit.

Her endurance is much worse, just like Cuckoo when she first learned, she was always lazy.

The cuckoo looked at her paralyzed appearance and smiled: "I won't practice today." Let's go, go upstairs, and we'll get a. Take a good look at the evening scene and experience the silence of the night. ”

Guixiang was very happy to hear this, and jumped up hurriedly.

There is a setback compartment behind the main hall, where the staircase is hidden, leading diagonally to the inner corridor on the second floor. Above the main hall is a patio surrounded by a one-color wooden corridor and balustrade. The east corridor is next to the cuckoo's bedroom; The front porch and the back porch are relatively wide, the front porch faces the window, and a square table and two circle chairs are placed, and the back porch has a round table and four single stools, where you can read books and do needlework on rainy days; There was a door in the west gallery, and the door was opened. Outside, however, is a small, open covered platform.

The bedroom door opens at the east end of the front porch.

Just because this house is built on the south mountain, sitting south and facing north. Therefore, Lin Chun also built a wide eaves in the front and back of the bedroom. The front porch faces north and has a great view; The back porch faces south. The sun is shining in winter, and you can see the scenery of the back mountain nearby. Both corridors provide access to the west platform.

Whether it's early in the morning or late in the evening, the cuckoo loves to sit under the eaves of the porch and watch the vista in the distance.

Every now and then, there is a faint tranquility in her heart, a feeling that the years have stood still. Often at this time, she stroked the slippery and warm wooden railing with her hand, and would inadvertently think of Lin Chun and the various past events they had experienced since childhood.

Later, each stood in the attic. She thinks of him.

I wonder if the boy will linger in the prosperity outside the mountains, or return to the small courtyard in the mountains.

Rufeng also likes to lie next to the cuckoo and look at the distant mountains with her. She touched its smooth fur and whispered, "Say, will your master leave you?" ”

Rufeng didn't answer, just touched her with his big head.

When the sky is clear, the morning sun or sunset reflects the beautiful figure of the girl under the corridor, like an ancient painting; When there is fog, the pavilion is more like the heavenly palace, looming among the clouds. And at the gate of the palace, there are immortals gazing at the nether realm.

In front of him, the cuckoo and Guixiang moved a stool and sat under the north porch, and the cuckoo blew the flute; Guixiang leaned on the railing and listened, looking aimlessly ahead.

Under the stars. The river in front of him flowed around the foot of Nanshan like Bai Lian, and in the fields in the distance, ink and black gathered. It is the spring water village where there are many tree houses. In contrast, there are a few lonely families on this side of Nanshan. It's like a wilderness.

The cuckoo was blowing the flute, thinking about Lin Chun first. Guess how he would be angry after knowing what happened to Qiusheng and Sophora Flower; Thinking about Huaihua's persistence and scheming, I feel a little annoyed. After blowing for a while, it gradually calmed down. In this ethereal night, she forgot everything around her, and she didn't know what she was blowing.

As if believing in the reins of the horse, the sound of the flute is circling all over the sky, and there is a taste of emptiness and sparseness compared to it in the village. Against this backdrop, it seems that even the rumbling sound of the embankment has weakened, and it has retreated into a background harmony.

I don't know how long it took to blow, and there was a knock on the door below: "Cuckoo! ”

It's Erni.

The cuckoo immediately woke up and hurriedly responded, "Erni." I don't practice at night. ”

Erni said: "I know." I called you to go fishing. ”

"Fishing?" When the cuckoo heard this, he was excited, "Come down immediately." ”

As he spoke, he pushed Guixiang beside him, "Wake up." ”

Guixiang drooled from her mouth, and asked with wistful eyes, "Are you going to sleep?" ”

The cuckoo whispered, "Erni called us to watch the fish." ”

Guixiang also woke up when she heard this, stood up and asked, "How late is it, still fishing?" ”

The two went downstairs and opened the door, and Du Juan asked Erni, "I've been blowing for a long time?" ”

Erni said: "No, it's only for a while." ”

Cuckoo and Guixiang were surprised, they thought it had been blowing in the middle of the night.

So they locked the door again, and the men came to the river.

Now that it's winter, why are they so interested in fishing?

It was the cuckoo who told Erni: The leper is always wading in the river is not good, and it will be easy to hurt his legs in the future, since he loves to fish so much, it is better to tie a bamboo raft or a raft, and go to the river to cast a net when he is free, which is fun and convenient.

The leper immediately made a raft and often floated on this section of the river.

Both Cuckoo and Guixiang like to ride on a raft, that's why Erni called them.

In the night, several girls carried lanterns and laughed and walked to the river. In the river, the leper stood on the raft, listening to the deliberately suppressed excitement and laughter from a distance, and the firelight was getting closer and closer, and his face smiled.

When they came, they hurriedly picked up the raft and sat down on a fixed small bench.

As he lit the raft and slowly pushed towards the center of the river, the three girls all smiled, "Hold on to the leper brother." "We'll go up and float down the river." "Cuckoo, you look at the lamp, I'll cast a net first."

As she spoke, Erni and Guixiang hurriedly dragged the net and threw them down the river.

The cuckoo held the lantern and watched the light reflected on the water, and the silver-red light jumped.

It was very laborious to prop upstream, but the leper carried his daughter-in-law and two girls to float in the river in the quiet night, and every time he lifted it, the river roared softly, and the raft moved forward leisurely, and he only felt beautiful, not tired.
