Chapter Seventy-Four: Three Lives and Dust (1)
At the beginning of March, the breeze blows gently and the sea is calm. The wharf in Changping Village www.biquge.info Pen "Fun" Pavilion is crowded with fishing boats of all sizes, and the salty sea breeze blows from the sea. Many fishermen who had gone out to sea to fish had already gone ashore.
At this time, there was a doll about four or five years old sitting on the long embankment, with two doll buns on its head, born with red lips and white teeth, and looking very cute.
The female doll sits on the stone steps, her delicate little feet are soaked in the clear water, and from time to time a naughty little fish comes to kiss her little feet. But she just tilted her head, staring at the endless sea, and said something in her mouth: Why hasn't Daddy come back? When will Daddy come back?
It wasn't until noon on the day, when smoke rose from every house in the village, that she shook her head and walked to the village.
I met a lot of people along the way.
The honest Aunt Liu smiled and said, "The young girl went to the shore to wait for your father again?" ”
Another second uncle who was carrying a fishing net also teased her: "Green girl, if your father doesn't come back, will the second uncle be your father?" ”
Of course not! The young girl grimaced at them hatefully and ran home with a puff of smoke.
But my heart is also playing drums, Daddy has been gone for two or three years, and I can't remember what he looks like. A-Niang never seemed to care, and she didn't say anything she asked.
When I walked to the door, I couldn't help but rejoice when I heard the voice coming from inside, and hurriedly entered the house.
"Aunt Yan, why are you here?"
"Come and see our young girl." At the other end of the table sat a soft and weak woman with a woman's bun, her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, the corners of her eyes were already slightly wrinkled, and her old green cloth clothes did not lose the slightest charm from her.
The green girl happily hugged her waist and rubbed affectionately in her arms.
"Your Aunt Yan is not in good health, don't drill into her arms every time you see her. It's so big, and it looks like a monkey. Out of the kitchen next door came a woman in cloth with a few dishes of side dishes, willow eyebrows, goose egg face, and a pair of eyes that were as bright as autumn water.
This dilapidated thatched hut shines brightly because of these two people.
"It's been a long time since I've seen Aunt Yan." The green girl reluctantly jumped off Aunt Yan's body, and her pouting mouth was instantly relieved when she saw the good dishes on the table. "My favorite braised lion's head!"
She hurriedly took a pair of chopsticks to clamp it, but was slapped off by her mother before she could touch the dish: "Where have you learned what I teach you on weekdays?" Your Aunt Yan is still sitting here, so ignorant of the rules! ”
The green girl was about to cry, her big watery eyes looked at Aunt Yan pitifully, and she smiled softly when she saw it: "Xiyue is fine, the green girl is hungry." The young girl listened, looked at her and nodded violently, and then quickly sat at the table with chopsticks and ate with relish.
The woman who had changed to Xiyue shook her head and sighed, sat down beside her, and took her wrist and tucked it carefully. After a moment, he put his mind at ease and smiled: "It's okay, you have to be careful not to work too hard." ”
As she withdrew her hand, she was grabbed by the wrist of the person opposite and cut her vein. I wanted to struggle, but I looked at the face of the person opposite, so I had to give up. "Why is your pulse so messy?"
"Ah Ning, I'm fine. Maybe I've been thinking too much lately, do I need you to see a doctor for me? Xi Yue smiled lightly and withdrew her wrist.
Yan Ning's smile gradually retracted: "Although I have not studied medicine, I have been sick for many years, and I understand a little bit." Don't fool me, where is this overthinking vein? It's clearly ......"
Xiyue hurriedly grabbed her hand, glanced at the direction of the green girl, and said, "Don't worry about it, I know it myself." But...... In a few days, the young girl may have to be entrusted to you first. I have something to do and I'm going to be out for a while. ”
Yan Ning looked at the green girl, frowned and whispered, "Then you...... Do you want to pay it back? ”
"Go back." Xiyue smiled, leaned back in her chair and looked at the boundless sky, "You are here, the green girl is here...... How could I not come back......"
For a moment, the room fell silent. The young girl was full of food and drink, jumped off the stool with her stomach in her arms, and said with a smile: "Auntie, Aunt Yan, I'm going to go next door to find Qingyuan to play?" ”
"Come back early." Xiyue said lightly.
Yan Ning looked at the back of the green girl in the distance, and sighed slightly: "I really don't understand you, the green girl grew up in the village, and naturally the cheerful and lively nature of the country children is indispensable." And what did you teach her to do? ”
Xiyue took out a jar of wine from the house and filled her with a glass: "Taste it!" ”
"Is this the wine you buried under the plum tree last winter?" Yan Ning picked up the cup, put it under her nose and sniffed it carefully, only to feel a burst of fragrance. I took a sip lightly, only to feel that the entrance was mellow and long, and the aftertaste was endless.
Xiyue also took a sip lightly, put down the cup and said softly: "I hope that Qing'er will be quiet in this life and have no quarrel with the world." But I don't want her to forget what noble blood flows in her body, and she should be a person above the Nine Heavens. But because of me, I can only live in seclusion in this secluded fishing village. ”
Yan Ning shook her head and disagreed: "Qing'er has her own path to follow, and it is unknown whether it is a blessing or a curse, but you shouldn't put your own confusion and indecision on her." I don't think there's anything wrong with living in seclusion. If it hadn't happened, I think I'd be here for the rest of my life. ”
Xiyue glanced up at her and drank the wine in her cup in one gulp. "You're all down?"
"No...... I forgot all about ......" past, and I can't remember a single star.
Xiyue smiled bitterly: "It's best to forget, it's sad that I'm a person like me who wants to forget but can't forget." ”
"If you really want to forget, just give yourself a needle, if you don't dare to start, sister, I can do it for you." Yan Ning watched her also drink the wine in the cup, and smiled.
Xiyue glared at her and teased, "I heard that two days ago, Mr. Qin from the study school proposed to you?" ”
Yan Ning propped her forehead, really helpless: "Don't mention it, that nerd...... I really don't know how to talk to him. keeps saying that he doesn't care about my past, doesn't care about my dead husband, and insists on marrying me. Do you know how he got there that day? Pulling his blind mother, carrying thirty catties of fish in his hand......"
Xiyue laughed when she heard this, clapped her hands and smiled: "To be able to force our Mrs. Yan to this role, she is also a unique wonderful person in the world, and she must see it another day." ”
"Or ...... I'll give you a referral? Yan Ning raised her eyebrows and looked at her.
"No, no, no...... Do people really want to marry you? Don't think about it? ”
