Chapter VIII Definitions I
The appearance of the agricultural bus from Thuan An is quite old, the window glass is bright and bright, and although there are a lot of luggage and items piled up in the aisle of the car, there is no passenger standing.
As soon as Aunt Qiu Yun and I got on the bus with my father, a female conductor in her 30s greeted her warmly: "Uncle, where are you going to take your two children to play?" The family is so well dressed! There was still a vacant seat in the last row, and the sister took her little brother to sit down. ”
When his father heard that there were still vacant seats, he motioned to Aunt Qiu Yun to find a seat in the back row first, and then asked the conductor knowingly to inquire about the ticket price from Qingshuihe to the provincial capital, and then opened the briefcase and paid for the ticket. When my father came to the back of the car, he insisted on standing, and Aunt Qiu Yun picked me up and sat in the only vacant seat. She buried her head very low and pressed her face against mine so that we could both feel the warmth being passed back and forth.
The first time in my life that I let a girl hold me like this, or in public, I couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, so I looked left and right like a wallaby. Seeing that the people around me were either sleeping with their heads buried in their heads, or speaking the Yi dialect of ethnic minorities, or speaking the Shun'an dialect with a procrastinating voice, and chatting in a no-man's land, my discomfort disappeared.
The roar of the engine and the trembling of the body of the car make people worry that it will run apart, however, it can only speed at forty or fifty kilometers per hour, and it is still far from the imaginary wind and lightning, but it is a great blessing for me to be able to sit on it, and there is ...... How could I think so, I am comfortable to let Aunt Qiu Yun be carried to the provincial capital like this, isn't she going to be tired and miserable? So I hurriedly said, "Aunt Qiu Yun, just let me stand, I'm afraid that your new dress will be dirty." ”
"Yo, you love cleanliness so much!" Aunt Qiu Yun made the two tall peaks on her chest closer to the back of my heart, so that I could hear her voice clearly, and then continued: "If the skirt is dirty, wash it, what's the matter?" Don't you think it's not comfortable enough to make up such a clumsy reason? ”
"No, no." I hurriedly denied it, and casually said the feeling that arose instantly: "Aunt Qiu Yun, I won't be afraid to hold me like this." ”
"Heh, what are you afraid of, you see, there is Daddy standing guard next to us!" After Aunt Qiu Yun finished speaking, she leaned back, so that neither she nor I could look up to see my father's face full of joy. It made me a little embarrassed, so I buried my head and whispered: "I can't tell what I'm afraid of, Aunt Qiu Yun, have you ever been afraid of something you can't say?" ”
"Yes." Aunt Qiu Yun seemed to be caught up in the memories of the past, and paused for a while before telling me that it was a long time ago, if you don't believe it, you can ask Daddy, and he will know. I giggled and said in a skeptical tone, "Aunt Qiu Yun must be lying to me, how can Daddy know what you're afraid of?" ”
"Is Aunt Qiu Yun like a liar?" Aunt Qiu Yun put her head against my little ear, and said, "Our ocean currents have to tell the truth." ”
"It's not like it at all, but I still can't figure it out."
"Really?" Aunt Qiu Yun said in a heavy tone: "Then when you get to the provincial capital, find a secluded place, and I'll tell you slowly." ”
"Do you have to say it?" I almost turned half of my body, looked at Aunt Qiu Yun's melancholy eyes, and blamed myself: "It's all my fault, asking random questions, making your mood bad." ”
"How so?" After Aunt Qiu Yun asked me to sit upright, she continued: "Don't think nonsense, Aunt Qiu Yun's mood has never been so good as it is now. In fact, if some words are kept in the heart, people's mood will become worse, and they will even not know themselves. ”
Listening to the first half of the sentence, I felt relieved, and was about to say, "Then I'll rest assured" Aunt Qiu Yun said that people will become so pitiful, so I asked puzzledly, "How can people not know themselves?" ”
"Oh, it's Aunt Qiu Yun who is not good, and said an empirical understanding that our ocean currents can't understand now. People don't even know themselves anymore, they're not crazy, they're probably cold-blooded insects. ”
"Oh," I didn't understand what empirical knowledge meant, but when I thought of the madman mentioned in the second half, I said openly: "Aunt Qiu Yun, I've seen madmen on the street, who don't have any empirical knowledge at all, and will chase people with kitchen knives, so every time I pass by the streets of the commune, I am extra careful." Unexpectedly, Aunt Qiu Yun was surprised and excited and praised me: "Why are you so smart?" Our currents! It is impossible to find fault with the fact that 'empirical understanding' can be put into a sentence. ”
"Doesn't this phrase refer to man's 'cognitive power' or 'discernment'?"
Aunt Qiu Yun took into account my age, so she replied directly: "Yes, yes." You're doing the right thing, and Daddy is relieved to be busy working outside. But after she finished speaking, she seemed to have something tangled and worried, and said indignantly: "Madmen must beware, but cold-blooded insects are more vicious than madmen with knives." I didn't think about it deeply, so I casually said, "That's the snake, the snake's blood is cold and poisonous, but the frog's blood is also cold, why is the frog popular?" Aunt Qiu Yun smiled mysteriously and replied in words that were obviously "chatting fast": "The snake once lured good people to do bad things, and the frog once led bad people to discover their conscience, so it is not surprising that one is cursed and the other is praised." ”
"I have heard the story of the snake, the snake's hands and feet were taken away by the hunters because they did bad things. Aunt Qiu Yun, tell me the story of the frog. ”
Aunt Qiu Yun saw that I was eagerly requesting, or I didn't want to talk about it, so she cleared her throat and said in a colorful voice: "A long time ago, frogs were black, blacker than coal, and they were very ugly, even uglier than toads, but they were very kind-hearted. Once, the frog met a wizard who specialized in raising Gu harm, and said to him: Wizard, I have the most powerful toxin in the world, as long as you keep me in your vessel, you will be the most murderous wizard in the world. The wizard didn't want to do it, but what happened, can you guess? I was fascinated by what I was listening to, but Aunt Qiu Yun suddenly stopped.
"Why is Aunt Qiu Yun telling stories like Daddy, as soon as she arrives at a critical place, she has to make people guess."
"Really?" Aunt Qiu Yun smiled knowingly and said happily: "If Aunt Qiu Yun is as good at telling stories as Daddy, I won't let you guess." ”
"Could it be that the story of the frog has something to do with conjecture?"
Is there a pass, you listen down: "The frog ate all the Gu in the vessel, and the wizard was still afraid that the frog's toxin was not fierce enough, so he took the frog to the north and south, and caught all the Gu he could find to feed it, and the frog's black clothes turned into a beautiful pine robe." The sorcerer felt that he had done a good job, and began to use the frog to do bad things, but every time the sorcerer did a bad deed, all the pain of the victim was transferred to him, and the sorcerer's conscience began to discover again and again, until finally he was reformed. Of course, this is just a conjecture. ”
"Aunt Qiu Yun must be making up a story to make me happy." I listened to the story and laughed.
"As long as we can make our ocean currents happy, Aunt Qiu Yun is willing to make up stories and tell stories every day."
