Chapter 17: Following the Caravan
Time flies, and Feng Lixi can also feel that it seems that the days in the village are numbered, because almost every year in early spring, a caravan passes by, from south to east. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info heard Zhu Rong say that they carry all kinds of items for consignment, do not charge money and food, only do exchange. This caravan does this every year, and they know each village well, and thus connect the civilizations of each village.
"Xiaoxi, are you really leaving?" Zhu Rong was a little displeased, but more reluctant. For a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child, the first bloom of love is so beautiful, who would have thought that it would be strangled in the cradle like this, and the flowers and bones have not yet bloomed, so they will decay.
"Eh~ this, the village elder said that I should go to find my background, my parents, only when I leave here can I have the opportunity to meet different people and things, and there may be clues about my relatives." Feng Lixi didn't know what this child was thinking, "It's just that although I am a twelve-year-old body, my eldest brother~~ mental age can be your mother in this world." Hey~~"
"I, can you not go, don't go, okay, or I'll go with you, I think my cultivation is almost able to go out, what do you say?" Zhu Rong's eyes were full of anticipation, and he couldn't help but pull Feng Lixi with both hands, at this time, he really looked like a child begging his mother for a toy.
Feng Lixi snorted and couldn't hold back, she wanted to touch Zhu Rong's head and comfort her. "It's really panicked~ I can't reach it! How can this kid grow so tall, it's really embarrassing" Feng Lixi was embarrassed all of a sudden, hurriedly stood on tiptoe, and symbolically touched her hair again.
"This, I think, my personal opinion is that you should continue to cultivate here for a while, and then you come to me again, how about it? After all~ this is going to be difficult, you and I are still too young, in case we can't take care of each other, what can we do? Isn't that right, Brother Zhu~" Feng Lixi's eyes were bent into a small crescent, and she looked at Zhu Rong with a smile, but her heart was, "Gross~ Brother Zhu, pineapple, you really dare to say anything~".
"Brother Zhu~ Hehe, I, I'll go to the village elder to ask~" Zhu Rong's face instantly turned red, and he didn't dare to look at Li Xi, and ran away after speaking.
"Hey, this kid is really hard to serve~ Sister's mouth is almost crooked~" Feng Lixi rubbed her fat face vigorously, turned around and went home.
Not far away, I saw my sister-in-law, who was cooking alone, cooking, cooking something, and the aroma was scattered.
"Sister-in-law, it's not noon yet, and it's not time to eat, what are you busy with?" Feng Lixi happily ran over and hugged her sister-in-law from behind. This is the method she often uses to be coquettish like her mother, and she has tried and tested it repeatedly.
"Look at this kid, he's so old and naughty. Me, I'm busy making some dry food and fruits, keeping you to eat on the road later, how can the meals outside have the fragrance of your own home~" Sister-in-law smiled kindly, and her hands were still busy. Suddenly, I felt some wetness behind my back, and when I turned around, I saw a pair of big teary eyes. "This kid is usually so stubborn, but now he is still crying, like a little tearful man"
"Sister-in-law, what I am most reluctant to do is you and Xiaosi, you treat me like a biological child, I have nothing to reciprocate, I ......" said that tears were like a flood that opened the floodgates, and I couldn't stop crying.
Sister-in-law hugged Feng Lixi and stroked her back comfortingly, "I also had a daughter before, but she died before she was less than a year old, if nothing happened, she should be as old as you, the first time I saw you by the river, I felt that this was God's compensation for me, I am grateful, so ah, you are my daughter" Sister-in-law's eyes were moist, indeed she had already regarded Feng Lixi as her daughter, and now that the child is leaving, how can she be reluctant?
"But sister-in-law knows that you have the path you want to take, your future has infinite possibilities, you are not a mortal, you will be very strong in the future, so, Xiaoxi, you have to promise sister-in-law, don't give up at any time, don't give up your obsession, your courage, your kindness, you are a good child, sister-in-law is proud of you."
Feng Lixi nodded vigorously while crying, she didn't know what to say, but she took her sister-in-law's words to heart.
"I will come back to see you and Xiaosi, as well as the clansmen here, your kindness to Xiaoxi, Xiaoxi will not forget......"
The two hugged each other and cried, and the scene was like a mother and daughter at the entrance of the train station, saying goodbye to each other, and then waving their hands......
"Sister Xi, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Si suddenly appeared at the door and looked at it in amazement, he still didn't understand human feelings, didn't understand parting, didn't understand sadness.
The two hurriedly wiped away their tears and packed up, "Ahem~ It's nothing, your sister is naughty, and there is dust in her eyes, A-Niang will help her blow it......" Sister-in-law smiled slightly.
"I'm going to blow it too~ I'm going to help my sister blow it too~" Xiao Si opened his arms, and a big hug came up.
"Haha, okay, Xiaosi helps my sister blow, and my sister also helps Xiaosi blow! Huhu~" Li Xi hugged Xiao Si and began to get up with a pout.
"Haha, don't, don't!"
"Huhu~~Hehe!!"
This happy scene, this warm picture, presumably how much Feng Lixi misses herself in the future doesn't know, she doesn't know how many years this walk is, she doesn't know that the happiness at this moment is the last time, the only time!
…………
In the blink of an eye, the legendary caravan was in front of him, and everyone was very skilled in exchanging the goods or ingredients they needed, and they were very busy. Only Feng Lixi looked at these strangers in front of her blankly, as if she had been reborn again, "I have to start again, meet again, and get on the road again......"
The village elder and the leader of the caravan were chatting about something, their expressions cordial, like old friends for many years.
"I'll leave this child to you, take care of it more, and the old man will thank you." The village elder shook his head.
"Look at what you said, if you hadn't saved my life back then, I still don't know where my soul is wandering! Don't worry, this kid is on me," the leader held his head high confidently.
After that, the village elder walked towards Li Xi, "Child, you have to walk bravely in the future, you have to believe in your own strength and cultivation, the outside will make you stronger!" The village elder held Feng Lixi's hand and told again.
"Don't worry, village elder, I will definitely live up to my expectations, I will come back." Feng Lixi's eyes were firm, she knew that she had to be strong!
"Xiaoxi, wait for me, I still have something for you, don't leave first...... Zhu Rong hurriedly ran over, "I, I." Ahem~ Give, this is for you, I carved it, look like me? ”
"No wonder I haven't seen you in the past few days, I was busy working on this, and the village elder didn't agree!" Feng Lixi took a delicate wood carving villain, with Zhu Rong's name on it, she held it tightly in her hand, "Don't worry, I will put it on my body......" This child was too attentive to himself, so careful that Feng Lixi felt a little self-blame.
"I, I just hope you don't forget me, and I won't forget you, Li Xi, I hope that one day we can meet again, and then I will protect you!" Zhu Rong boldly hugged Li Xi and choked up~
"Okay, this kid, it's time for Xiaoxi to go" The village veteran Zhu Rong pulled to his side.
Feng Lixi slowly picked up the luggage, stretched her arms straight, waved them loudly, and shouted loudly, "Goodbye, my relatives, goodbye village, goodbye place where I truly have love!" ”
Reflecting the sunset, a group of long oblique shadows, like silhouettes, slowly disappeared at the end of the village......
