Chapter Eighty-Six: White Cloud Dog
The secret between me and Shen Mo was known to Mrs. Wen Yan within a few days. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Shen Mo did not see stability in front of his mother, one day he took me to pick fruit in front of the yard, I stepped on his shoulder and climbed the tree, the fruit was as sweet as honey, I stood and ate two, but Shen Mo was anxious, let me pick the fruit and share it with him, but I deliberately angry that he ate more happily. Silence let go of my legs and let me hang on to the tree.
I scolded him angrily, but I didn't grasp it and fell to the ground, and then ran after Shen Mo all over the yard.
At this time, we saw Mrs. Wen Yan's panicked expression.
Then we didn't have dinner in the evening.
Shen Mo and I lay on the roof of the thatched hut at night, and our stomachs sang a hunger duet. He patted his stomach silently, patted me again, and said emotionally: "Hey, it's okay to be hungry for me, it's good to be hungry for my son." ”
Idle is also idle, I cooperated with him and said: "Yes, I blame his father for not being angry, grabbing fruits with you, and your grandmother who is angry doesn't cook for us." ”
Shen Mo was afraid that he was hungry and confused, and he couldn't get out of the play: "Don't worry, Daddy will chop more firewood tomorrow and change some batter to nourish you." Although Daddy and Auntie have no money, they will definitely give you a complete home, not let you be lonely outside, and will not let you grow up in discrimination. ”
A silent accessory can change a daughter-in-law, but she is crying poor here. But what he said was true, and it really reminded me of our childhood. Every father and aunt accompanies the children who grow up, and no matter how hard the days are, they are happy. This is the home that Silence has been asking for.
He didn't want to show his fragile emotions to me, so he turned over and lay down on the roof again, and said briskly: "Today's performance is over, guest officer, you can give a reward." ”
I pulled out a dry straw from the haystack and put it in his mouth. Xu was dazzled, and not far away there was a man riding a horse far away.
The wilderness was rarely inhabited, but it made me shudder, quickly lay down the ladder, and went back to my room to sleep.
After staying silent for another three days, he returned to Mingshan. But when he came back a few weeks later, he was a little uncomfortable, in his words: "How do I think I'm a guest of a family of three?" And then I'm still a guest!
Another time I had a little itchy ears, and I fell on Mrs. Wen Yan's knees and asked her to help me pluck my ears, but silently but jealously lay on the other side of Mrs. and grabbed me: "Auntie, dig out for my son first, I don't have this treatment yet?" ”
Mrs. smiled and was gentle with her subordinates: "Son, daughter are the same, I can still help you." ”
"Chu Xin is not my sister."
Mrs. Wen Yan covered her mouth and smiled: "It's the same for the daughter-in-law there." ”
Hearing her say this, Shen Mo got up in a hurry: "Mother, don't be embarrassed for me, the emperor dares to beat him when he gets angry at the beginning, you are pushing your son into the fire pit." What's more, this little girl has been holding back a dozen noodles in her heart, and I don't want to be a member of her harem. ”
The lady smiled and blamed him: "Yan'er, you kid ......"
The mountain road is difficult to walk, and life is quiet. But thank you for my life here to have them.
Mrs. Wen Yan is a little expert in life, and she knows everything about cooking and taking care of her family. Although she was a little unhappy to know that I tricked her into going down the mountain because she was pregnant, she had been lonely on the mountain for many years, and she gradually let go of her obsession and became cheerful and loving life when she watched the clouds and stars rise and fall in the outside world. Mrs. Wen Yan and I planted flowers and trees in front of the courtyard, melons and beans in the back of the courtyard, and raised a few small animals. But Mrs. Wen Yan was soft-hearted, and she had a relationship with these chickens and ducklings who were originally used as food, and she raised them together with me.
We have no meat to eat, so we have been vegetarians for a long time, which makes me and Uncle Xiao very much looking forward to Shen Mo coming to see us, so every month at the beginning of the month or mid-month, I push Uncle Xiao at the door to look reverently, full of enthusiasm for improving the food.
Master Jiang is even more of a god, and under his sloppy and greedy appearance is a versatile soul. In the first few days, I disliked Uncle Xiao for not working and being picky, which was really unlikeable. But gradually, I discovered his attainments in Yixue, the ancients paid attention to the balance of the five elements, mutual recreation, and balance is the way to harmonious growth. However, although the mean is good, it does not mean that the balance is the mean, even if it is as brave as a blade, it is necessary to take into account the common progress of all parties. For example, gold is a soldier, gold is more profitable, and the profit is heavy and the punishment is killed. At this time, it is necessary to complement water and fire, water is soft, and violence is controlled by virtue; Fire is affection, and anger can be eliminated if there is affection. At the same time, with soil as the foundation, down-to-earth, wood as the aura, and thinking and acting. How can it not be a big deal.
This thinking can also be used to understand the art of war. Whenever two armies fight, there will be a tendency for one to lose the other's strengths. Use the five elements to balance the enemy and us, and you can defend the city. Use the enemy's uneven shortcomings to break the enemy. There is great wisdom in it that deserves to be studied for the rest of my life.
But Uncle Shi also told some news about Mingshan. Although he has always hated Shen Mingzhao for tearing Mingshan apart over the years, he has also seen some strange things from it. Shen Mingzhao seems to be the biggest beneficiary of the Gengwu Rebellion, but looking back at the events of the Gengwu Rebellion, there are too many doubts on that day. On the day of Geng Wu, many forces emerged on Mingshan, and they fought in a mess, and they did not distinguish between the enemy and me, so they caused countless casualties. After a multi-party scuffle, Shen Mingzhao woke up to find that Wu Tong had occupied Mingshan, and it has not been known whether his victory was intentional or a leak detection. But Shen Mingzhao has been treating old diseases in his body for many years, and he is not as concerned about Mingshan's affairs as he is looking for Ming Yueci, and he is not at all lonely and ambitious when he was young.
Therefore, if we want Master to live his life in the future, we still have many mysteries to solve.
Looking at Uncle Xiao's fairy wind bones, one day I took the newly picked cucumber and asked him to help me see the eight characters of my birthday.
Uncle Shi asked me, "What do you ask for?" A cucumber can ask for good luck. ”
I looked at him with raised eyebrows: "I want to ask about marriage." ”
Uncle Shi took the cucumber over and shook his head: "If you ask about marriage, you have to look at the eight characters of two people." ”
I think Uncle Xiao's bargaining problem is completely a bad habit left over from the previous stalls, and the two rows of cucumbers in the back of the yard have to be one more. Profiteers, profiteers.
I showed him the eight characters of me and Ye Keting with some expectation, but Uncle Shi shook his head when he saw it: "You are too angry in your life, and you attach too much importance to affection and righteousness, which will hinder his career." You are a problem in his life. Not suitable, not suitable. ”
"Phew, you might as well be talking to the fortune teller on the flyover, give me back the cucumber! No bounty! With that, I snorted and ran away with my cucumber. Made me unhappy all day. I can't see it, I just want to hear you say an auspicious word, and it's so difficult.
But thinking about it, I have long been far away from Ye Keting, maybe I will never see him again, and he can be regarded as having escaped a catastrophe. What's upset about me?
Yes, I also have to weed and trim the trees at the Taoist master's office every day, meditate and meditate. After persevering for a long time, my mind is much calmer. Shen Mo once brought me a clay doll to play with, and I told him seriously: "Don't spend money indiscriminately, I'm not a sixteen or seventeen girl anymore." The silver taels saved can still buy some meat to eat, and I really can't seem to grab Uncle Xiao. ”
However, Shen Mo still has a lot of trivial matters in Mingshan, so he can only come to stay for two or three days a month, and during these two or three days, he has to find time to fight with Uncle Xiao. Where is Uncle Xiao's opponent, every time he is angry, he can't catch up with him. So not long after Shen Mo came, Uncle Xiao would drive him away. But after a few days of silence, he began to sigh and miss again.
Shen Mo had to mumble and express his dissatisfaction every time he came and left, Mingshan still had so many unfinished things to deal with. Really delayed his retirement.
The weather is getting colder, and everyone gets busy together during the autumn harvest, digging a cellar and storing potatoes, cabbage and other vegetables in it. Use fishing nets to catch some river fish and dry them into dried fish. Then put the millet and beans in beautiful little jars. After finishing everything, I lay in the courtyard covered with golden leaves, feeling the coolness of the autumn breeze. Yellow leaves are constantly falling in the air, like a slow and brilliant firework. A dead leaf just happened to fall on my face, announcing the end of its life.
I picked up the leaves, covered one of my eyes, looked at the sky farther up, and felt that time could not stand still. Every life comes and goes, I don't know whose figure will stay in my heart, and whose face will be reflected in whose heart. In the period of origin and extinction, life passes away in a hurry.
Then, I heard Mrs. Wen Yan calling me to eat. I buried the dead leaves under the tree and hurried away. Scattered into mud, see you next fall.
Xu has really grown up, and life has passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, we spent our first New Year here. Mrs. Wen Yan sat in the house and made new clothes for us, and told me that she had not seen snow for many years, and if it snowed this year, it would be even more festive.
On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month, there were really snowflakes.
There was also the silence of the big bags and small wraps coming from the snow, and we joyfully accepted the gifts he had brought, and began to decorate the house and change into new clothes. But Mrs. Wen Yan's exchange of pink cloth from the bottom of the mountain is really conspicuous, and the four clothes we made from a roll of cloth are festive to wear.
Uncle Xiao also wrote a couplet for us to paste on the door: Say goodbye to the old year today, welcome the new year tomorrow. Horizontal batch: It's the New Year.
What else can I say. Uncle Xiao told me that vulgarity is elegance. Don't be too picky.
When we were thirty, our group went to the grave of our master early in the morning to offer incense and worship the New Year. I also used the carrier pigeon brought by Shen Mo to send a message to Master and Yan Xi to keep them safe, and by the way, I expressed my New Year's wishes. I hope that the master has little health, and Yan Xi still doesn't like Shen Zi. Then, Ning Yuan, more than a thousand miles away, I can only rely on my thoughts to convey New Year's wishes.
According to Shen Mo, Ming Mountain is also lively, and Shen Shan's health is even worse every winter, but he attaches great importance to the New Year this year. Everything was prepared one by one according to the old habits of Mingshan, just to accompany the little old lady Yueci to have a good Spring Festival. Master wanted to rush to me at the age of thirty, but he didn't expect Shen Mingzhao's head attack at this time, and Master still couldn't bear to leave him.
And Shen Zi's performance is even more strange, he has always been a person with eyes above the top, and he looks down on thousands of women who beg for pleasure with him. Now he was helpless by Yan Xi's cold and indifferent calm eyes. There has never been a woman's appearance that has been so attractive to him, he rarely takes the initiative once, and wants to indulge Yan Xi's desires, but Yan Xi doesn't eat this set at all; He wanted to buy Yan Xi with money and gifts, but Yan Xi ignored it; He wanted to change his style and talk sweetly to Yan Xi, but Yan Xi was a little impatient. Where has this most noble young master on Ming Mountain ever eaten such a deflated, and he was a little stunned for a while. If the people in the rivers and lakes saw the cold and ruthless Mingshan eldest prince so helpless, they would probably laugh out loud. But Shen Zi squinted his eyes slightly and announced disdainfully, no need to be strong, but let Yan Xi bow down to her.
I think it will take some time for him to make that wish come true.
When we got home, we all crowded into the kitchen, one by one, and Mrs. Wen Yan made dumplings. I secretly glanced at it while I was silently eating, may I ask what kind of dish is the fried mochi ball with hawthorn cake? Shen Mo also told me proudly, don't you like these two! I can only tell myself that it is in the heart, and the heart is in the heart.
When the reunion dinner was eaten, the snow was fluttering outside, and the house was happy. Everyone drank a few glasses together, and Shen Mo and Uncle Xiao were very happy and put together the wine. From calling each other "stinky boy" and "old man" to drinking to finally calling each other brothers.
Every year after the New Year, Master gives me red envelopes, but this year we can only look at each other. Shen Mo had no choice but to give us New Year's greetings and send us red envelopes one by one.
When he sent it to me, Shen Mo suddenly retracted his hand and asked, "I also prepared a surprise for you, do you want a red envelope, or do you want a surprise?" ”
I laughed: "I want a red envelope." You're ready to surprise, and it's even more uncomfortable if you don't give it to me. That's why I'm not afraid that you won't give it to me. ”
Shen Mo stuffed the red envelope to me: "Take it and take it, it's not stupid at all, it's not cute at all." ”
Mrs. Wen Yan told Shen Mo softly: "Say auspicious words during the New Year." ”
"Good, good, stupid, cute."
After eating, Shen Mo took us to the courtyard, dragged out a large iron bucket from the kitchen, scooped out the bright things in it, and swung it vigorously with the Cangjiu sword, and shot out a brilliant firework. I clapped my hands excitedly. Shen Mo used martial arts moves to shoot fireworks all over the sky, which was very gorgeous. Mrs. Wen Yan and I were very excited, and Mrs. Wen Yan looked like a child and cheered with me.
Uncle Xiao told us that this is called striking iron flowers, which is a traditional skill, but I didn't expect Shen Mo to learn this to make us happy, very attentive.
Shen Mo shouted from afar: "Chu Xin, do you want to try this?" ”
I jolted over to it. Silence wrapped around me from behind, held my hand holding Cangjiu, and made a beautiful rain of flowers in the sky. White snowflakes and golden iron flowers are beautiful under the inky blue night sky.
Our laughter bloomed in the small courtyard, and it was very lively.
We were tired of playing, and at midnight, we set off firecrackers at the same time as the mountain, and for a time the valley was deafening inside and outside. Shen Mo wrapped his arms around me with one hand and Mrs. Wen Yan with the other, stretched out his legs to the little uncle to hold, looked at the vast starry sky, and sighed seriously and sensationally: "It's good to have you." ”
