Chapter 283: The Past

The pepper asked this question without a clue. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Xiangye listened to the fog, tilted his head and looked at the pepper, and then looked at Luo Ji.

Fennel and Lilac have already reacted one after another, Lilac couldn't help but look at Luo Ji with her mouth wide open, and looked him up and down, her eyes kept turning, and she didn't know what the hell she was fighting again.

"Hmm!" Luo Ji had already raised his head and nodded calmly at Hua Jiao, and the corners of his mouth were already involuntarily pulling into a faint smile.

Tonghua Jiao said: "After the beginning of spring, there are always people on the mountain who come to collect medicine, and Brother Wen Qi and I are afraid of being discovered, so we pay special attention." Every time someone goes up the mountain, they hide...... Before you came over that day, I was touching the fish by the lotus swing and preparing to go home. When I heard your voice from afar, I hid. Seeing that you were just fishing, I thought you wouldn't be able to go up the mountain. Later, when I heard that you wanted to go up to the mountain to pick cherries, which is quite close to my house, I was a little worried. I went home first, put out the fire, helped Brother Wen Qi hide, and went to look for you......"

Luo Ji's words were flat and straightforward, and there was no repetition, but the smile on his face and the joy in his voice that could not be concealed suddenly brought the thoughts of the Huajiao sisters back to that day.

Not to mention Sichuan pepper, even the bay leaves gradually recalled the summer more than a year ago, remembering the sweetness of cherries and the freshness of fish soup.

Only Luo Ji said this, but for the first time, he showed a look of embarrassment, picked his hands, and then continued: "I picked the cherries on the cherry tree, I saw that you were all young, and I was afraid that something would happen to you, so I watched you from the side until you were about to go down the mountain." I didn't expect you to walk the way you came, but the way down the mountain you picked was to pass in front of my house. Later, I climbed the cherry tree and looked at it, and realized that the grass and trees around my house were indeed sparse because of the yam planted with yams. But I was still very worried at the time, last time there was also a medicine collector who accidentally found my house, and also rested at my house for the night, Brother Wen and I waited on the tree all night, cold, hungry and sleepy, Brother Wen Qi came down and fell ill......"

But what he never expected was that although they saw his house at that time, they also passed by his house. Especially the peppercorns, he also looked up at the chestnut tree that his family was leaning on, which made him panic when he was climbing on the tree, and his hands trembled, and he accidentally knocked down a few chestnut buds and smashed them on the roof.

But they barely stopped, and went straight down the mountain, never going up again.

Not only that......

Only he was still not at ease at that time, so he squatted on the walnut tree at the foot of the mountain not far from them, although he could see the pepper and let people fold lotus leaves and reed leaves for her one by one, but the grass and trees were shading, he didn't see her doing anything, and he didn't think about the little girl's things.

But when they were leaving, they noticed that the third uncle was holding peppercorns and hanging them on the peach tree that was only three or four feet away from him......

Luo Ji, whose corners of his mouth were rising more and more, was suddenly stunned.

What a strange feeling......

In those two years, he and Brother Wen Qi had a very bad life. But now that he thinks about it, many memories of bitterness, cold, hunger, and pain have been blurred, and even lost his impression, but he has some inexplicable memories of all the details of what happened that day.

Until now, when I think of the two lotus leaf bags hanging on the tree and snuggling up to each other, and when I think of the emotion when I open the lotus leaf bag and see the pancakes, the feeling seems to be still alive, or warm and still beating, as if as long as you stretch out your hand, you can still touch it.

Luo Ji was a little at a loss and looked at the peppercorns blankly.

But I saw that there was water flashing under the eyes of the peppercorns.

Huajiao was a little moved, empathizing with Luo Ji's simple joy, and only then did he really understand what their casual actions meant to them.

Luo Ji looked at the flash of water in the bottom of the pepper's eyes, and somehow, quickly calmed down.

Just looked at the pepper and didn't speak.

Lilac's attention was not on these at all, and she couldn't hold back her curiosity, and asked hurriedly, "Then why don't we know anything?" And said: "And the time you sent us dried potatoes, but the time you sent cherries, how did you do it under the noses of so many of us?" ”

Luo Ji said, "I can climb trees." It's been in the trees, you just don't notice. ”

Lilac doesn't believe it, who can't climb trees, she's still a first-class good player!

knows that Luo Ji must have very special means, but she is not like an ordinary little girl, she has heard and seen some grotesque and strange things when she is young, and she also understands some rules.

I didn't delve into it anymore, but looked Luo Ji up and down: "I can't see that I have a lot of ability, when will we see it!" ”

Luo Ji didn't think so, and nodded: "Okay!" ”

Hua Jiao saw Luo Ji's hands, thin and thin hands, just like his people, but covered with large and small overlapping scars.

Sichuan pepper couldn't help but throb in her heart.

Xiangye suddenly came over and whispered in her ear: "Jiaojiao asks Brother Luo Ji, why do he and Brother Wen Qi live in the mountains?" Where are their parents? ”

Fennel looked at it and looked at Xiangye with tears and laughter.

Hua Jiao was silent, seeing that Luo Ji was in good spirits, and then asked carefully: "Brother Luo Ji, how long have you and Brother Wenqi lived in the mountains?" ”

Luo Ji thought for a moment and said to Huajiao: "For three years, Brother Wen Qi and I have spent three Spring Festivals on the mountain. ”

After thinking about it, he told Huajiao again: "Brother Wen Qi and I both survived the flood that year. There was a lot of water in the village, and I floated into the Jingjiang River with a piece of wood, and climbed up by myself, and Brother Wen Qi was also dragged up from the Jingjiang River. We didn't know each other at first, but we fled north with many people, and most of them were adults, and Brother Wen Qi and I got together with a few children. Later, the weather became colder and colder, and they were not ready to leave, so they set a fire in the mountains, built a shed to live in, and often went down the mountain to grab things. Brother Wen Qi said that we could no longer be with them, but the other children were unwilling to leave, so we escaped by ourselves. There were people like this on the hills, so we avoided all the way to the south, and then it was also the season like this, when spring was about to begin, we fled here, and we took refuge in the lotus swing, and we stayed there......"

The four Huajiao sisters all widened their eyes, and listened with bated breath as Luo Ji recounted the past.

Hua Jiao had been looking at Luo Ji's eyes, perhaps because she was struggling to survive the unimaginable disaster ordeal, and there was both fear and calmness in those dark eyes.

Suddenly, thinking of the little monk, Hua Jiao asked softly: "Then do you remember where your home is?" (To be continued.) )
