Chapter 098: Old Xia

It's a hot summer, and the sun doesn't have the energy to hold on to it. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

It is the best choice to find a safe place to rest for a while in the afternoon; So there are few people on the streets. On the polished stone-paved streets, there is almost no vehicular traffic; Even the dogs that occasionally pass by seem to try to slow down as much as possible, as if they are afraid of waking up something.

The only road leading from Yugu Town to the outside of the town is through the big locust tree. This locust tree has become a kind of ruler in the town, for example, from the hearts of everyone, it will be recognized that the locust tree to the south is to enter the town, and the locust tree to the north is to leave the town.

Under the locust tree, there is a standing easel with a solid wood frame, a medium-sized drawing board, and a gauzy white figure than in the past.

That white was about 160 centimeters or more, because the skirt was white, because it was slender and like a bean sprout.

The sprouts have been here since the morning, and they have been working hard and intently to pile paint on the canvas. Only occasionally when she felt soreness in her legs would she sit on a big rock and drink water while looking out of town. Some messy short hair, delicate and somewhat unreal facial features, fair and almost transparent skin, if there are not a few points of paint on it, it really makes this bright sunshine impossible to find a sense of existence. Under the flickering of the thick eyelashes and the waves of the eyes, there is a full expectation - this scene makes the ancient locust tree seem to become gentle and affectionate.

She is eleven years old, and since she was a year old at the age of five, she has priority over her peers to say goodbye to elementary school. Since the summer vacation, she has come to paint under this tree; It's been almost a week, I go out early and return late, and I come every day.

On the seventh day, the breeze was still lazy to go out, and the sun was still unforgiving.

At noon, when the coach did not slow down, she exhaled a long breath of disappointment. However, after driving ten meters, the long-distance bus suddenly slowed down and slid for a few meters before stopping. When a thin figure in military uniform strode towards her with a bag, her eyes lit up with joy, and she ran over without putting the brush back in the bucket.

"Brother Luo—" She didn't scream loudly, but her movements were a little exaggerated, her hands climbed on the other party's neck, and her legs circled the other party's body.

What elegant bean sprouts!

What an elegant ancient locust tree!

It turned out to be such an extremely ungraceful koala meeting ceremony.

It's too sparkling!

The sun sighed. Hide in the clouds.

Brother Luo was admitted to a military academy in the town last year -- and he was also the only recognized general in Yugu Town who was admitted to a military academy for many years.

Brother Luo put down the bag in his hand and hugged her, and the next moment he seemed to remember something and said, "Okay." Come down, it's too hot to hold like this. ”

"No—" She decisively refused, not in ordinary waywardness, but she still took a step back: "You carry me under the locust tree, and I will come down." ”

That's it. Brother Luo was still carrying a backpack behind him, and he carried her in front and walked to the shade of the locust tree.

When he put her down, Brother Luo twisted her little face with his hand, because there were two inadvertent blue strokes on it. The paint didn't come off with his hands, he took water out of his bag and wet a towel to wipe it off for her.

All this went on silently, and she stood motionless, showing nothing but the release of joy in her eyes; It seems that Brother Luo should do everything for her.

"Okay, it's not like a cat now!" As he spoke, Brother Luo took a step back and looked her up and down. In the end, he commented dissatisfiedly: "I have grown a lot, but why don't I grow meat?" ”

"Who said there is no meat, don't you see it's not meat? At least more meat than yours, you look at yourself, can you pinch out as much meat as I do? She squeezed her hand in defense.

"It's long meat." After Brother Luo gave in, he added: "The ability to quibble has also grown." ”

While talking, the two of them invariably packed up their painting tools; Then go home.

Brother Luo is back, she will never be left alone, basically where Brother Luo is, she is there.

Over the years, this combination of tall and short has become a habitual little sight in the town. They are even accustomed to thinking that they are brother and sister; Who let them live together? As for whether there is a blood relationship. In this quaint mountain village, you don't need that much legal proof. Here, conscience governs the words and deeds of the townspeople more than the law.

In a person's life, the summer after graduating from primary school has no homework and no worries, and it should be the happiest summer on the way to study. Besides, she also waited for Brother Luo, who had taken good care of her since she was a child, and was obedient.

But she was very unhappy; Because she found a problem - that is, every time she habitually sat on Brother Luo's lap. Brother Luo will push her away intentionally or unintentionally. If you don't let you sit, you won't sit, and it's more solid to sit on the bench! She could have been strong, but she really wanted to sit in Brother Luo's arms; Because sitting on her brother's knee has been her habit since she was a child. Besides, when she saw that Brother Luo's school uniform was a military uniform, she felt that Brother Luo was extremely powerful and safe.

But one day, when she was angry and had to sit on Brother Luo's lap, Brother Luo suddenly and vigorously pushed her to the ground. Her body and heart ached. She screamed, "Brother Luo—"

Shen Yibo, who had been unaware of the pan and looked at the jade-like little face in his arms stupidly, quickly moved his arm at this time, and at the same time whispered in his mouth: "Chenchen, what's wrong?" Having a nightmare? ”

You Chenchen hurriedly opened her eyes, and what she saw in front of her was Shen Yibo's face, and she was not sitting underground.

She knew that she had just gone back to many years ago, like a dream but not a dream; It was her mind that was doing something strange, and she remembered the things that had happened for so many years. At the emotional place, she actually screamed, but Shen Yibo was shocked and worried, thinking that she was having a nightmare.

Although he was a little disappointed, You Chenchen still said apologetically: "It's okay, it's broad daylight, how can there be a dream." ”

Seeing You Chenchen sleeping in his arms, but calling other people's names, Shen Yibo replied with some revenge: "Yes, I dreamed in broad daylight, and I was also a daydream." ”

"You're just daydreaming?" You Chenchen originally wanted to say that he was not asleep, but he didn't explain this time, he changed his direction, completely turned his back to Shen Yibo and closed his eyes to recuperate. At this moment, she really wanted to sleep; Because I was so tired thinking about those things just now.

Shen Yibo simply wrapped his hands around You Chenchen's shoulders, and groped for You Chenchen's hair with his face: "Have you ever dreamed of me?" ”

You Chenchen, who didn't want to answer, really felt sorry for Shen Yibo for taking care of him for so many days, so she said: "I don't dream at night." ”

"Understood, I'm not in your daydreams, and if you don't dream at night, you haven't dreamed." After thinking about it, Shen Yibo said again: "Okay, it's fair, I never dreamed of you; Because I rarely dream when I sleep, the quality of sleep is extraordinary! ”

"I boast too much, and I really don't have any merits to boast about, so I praise my sleep quality. You're really not your average narcissist, you know? You Chenchen couldn't help but reply again, and his words were sarcastic.

Shen Yibo really didn't show weakness: "Hehe, it's obviously confident, but it will change its flavor as soon as it reaches your mouth." If you want to talk about narcissism, aren't you narcissistic? ”

You Chenchen stiffened: "I just don't narcissist." ”

"You are not narcissistic, you will be on the pole for so many years to entangle Chu Yiluo? You are not narcissistic, you will be sure that Chu Yiluo will accept you, so you ran to Hongyu City to find you? You're not narcissistic, you're going to swagger in front of me even wearing Luo's mother's clothes? Shen Yibo used this row of analogies, and it seems that there is a lot of criticism of You Chenchen.

"Stop, stop, wear Luo's mother's clothes, that's because I didn't bring a change of clothes. I have to blame you for this, I just can save your face in the Cold War, and you can really pretend to be crazy and stupid. Don't you wake up - let you buy me clothes for the set, you went for two hours and didn't buy me a single piece of clothing. You Chenchen remembered Shen Yibo again, didn't he come.

Yugu Town is still an old tradition, and every Friday is a big gathering.

Shen Yibo went to the market to help You Chenchen buy clothes, but he didn't find clothes worthy of Shang Chenchen after he left the whole set, so he really returned empty-handed.

As soon as You Chenchen said this, Shen Yibo said unconvinced: "It's really not a dress for you to wear, or tomorrow is Friday, let's go to the market together, and you will know that I didn't lie to you." ”

"Tomorrow's set, if you don't say I'll go, too." You Chenchen's voice is much quieter, she liked to catch the market the most when she was a child, because it was lively, and because there were good snacks on the market that she couldn't usually eat.

"Okay, we'll go together tomorrow, but your feet—"

"Stop arguing, I'm really sleepy." You Chenchen had already fallen asleep while speaking.

As a result, that afternoon, You Chenchen slept under the big locust tree and refused to wake up until the sun was in the west. Shen Yibo was both soft and hard, and finally carried You Chenchen back to the Chu family at dusk with half coaxing and half force.

By this time, it was already dark. Luo's mother's meal has already been prepared, so I'll wait for them to come back and eat.

Usually Chu Yiluo and Shen Yibo talk a lot at the dinner table, and Luo's mother and You Chenchen are all observants.

At today's dinner table, Shen Yibo and Luo's mother talked a lot.

You Chenchen ate the most silent dinner this time, almost just a perfunctory "um", "delicious" and "good" to reply to Luo's mother's inquiry about whether the dish was in line with the taste. She didn't say a word to Chu Yiluo, nor did she look at Chu Yiluo.

Shen Yibo did not talk to Chu Yiluo about the construction site, distribution, deadline, progress, and expectations of opening to traffic as usual...... Today's topic is mainly about the delicious food cooked by Kwaluo's mother, saying that she was really hungry after an afternoon outside.

Chu Yiluo's face was calm, his eating speed was normal, and he also used chopsticks to pick up dishes for Luo's mother, Shen Yibo, and You Chenchen. When giving You Chenchen food, he glanced at You Chenchen deeply. The moment of that glance was obviously full of affection; Because although he didn't look at You Chenchen much with his eyes, his heart had been hanging on You Chenchen since he entered this Chu family compound; He could think about You Chenchen's breath and emotions through a few doors, not to mention that it was a stone's throw away from the dinner table, of course he could feel the strong unhappiness in You Chenchen's heart.
