54 Past: Green Mountains and Flowing Waters
But as soon as he approached, I immediately shattered this unrealistic idea. Everything just now was just my delusion, that's all.
The fifth brother frowned, and said impatiently at me: "If you don't get up and continue by yourself, do you want me to feed you?" ”
I carefully took the lotus leaf in his hand, and what caught my eyes was a pool of clear water and a few wild fruits. Except for the dissatisfied and disgusted eyes on his face, this scene is really touching.
"Is this for me?"
He glared at me, rolled his eyes and said angrily, "Otherwise? ”
I've noticed that I've been rolling my eyes with my fifth brother lately.
I brought the lotus leaf to my mouth, pecked it lightly, and poured into my heart along my lips. I can't help but think of an advertisement. It's cold, and my heart is flying. I drank the water clean, and picked up the wild fruit that had been soaked in the water, and there were a few droplets of water rolling on the skin, I looked at it carefully, and thought to myself, I don't know if he has washed it, whether this fruit is poisonous or not.
The fruit was very ruddy, so I picked one up and handed it to the fifth brother's mouth, saying, "You can eat one too." ”
He glanced at me, made an expression of appreciation and relief, took the fruit from my hand, brought it to his mouth and took a bite, I watched him chew and swallow, so I lowered my head to take the other one in the lotus leaf, and muttered, "It doesn't seem to be poisonous." ”
I didn't see the fifth brother's expression, but I could feel the flames burning more and more around me, I smiled, and the fruit in my mouth suddenly became very delicious.
My two elder brothers are different types and personalities, in modern times, if the fifth brother is the darling of idol dramas, then the second brother must be a model with sharp edges and corners on magazine covers and shop windows. It can't be compared and there is no need to compare, I have seen the picture of the second brother and the fifth brother standing together from a distance, like a beautiful picture that cannot be preserved.
After resting on the rocks for a while, we got up and continued down the mountain. In fact, I didn't have much communication with the fifth brother along the way, he walked in front of the road, and he didn't look back at me frequently, I was willing to believe him, and he was happy to reassure me.
At the foot of the mountain, the ridge becomes flat and open, and acres of fertile fields appear, and occasionally you can see men busy in the fields, and women carrying their burdens trembling to deliver food. She took the towel on her shoulder to wipe his sweat, and the man stopped with his hoe, let her wipe it, and then took the tea bowl from the woman's hand and drank it up.
I stood on the ridge not far away and watched from afar, until the fifth brother called me.
"What's the fuss, hurry up."
An hour ago, we rushed to this small mountain village, which was still White Horse Mountain, but close to the border of the Song Kingdom, and the fifth brother went to the village to find a carriage, but was told that he could not leave until the next day, so we had to stay in the village for one night. The owner of the car is an old man in the village, his old face is furrowed, and when he sees me, he grins at me embarrassedly, and his face is dark but his teeth are white, and my eyes are dazzled.
Perhaps, he is the same age as my imperial grandmother.
The fifth brother gave him a silver ticket, and he only picked up a very small piece of broken silver, and he was still a little restrained and at a loss, and the fifth brother pushed his hand away and said, "You take it." ”
We were sitting on a wooden bench at the front of the house, and a little girl was hiding behind the door to peek at us, and I waved at her, and she dodged into the house.
The old man was afraid that we would be angry, so he hurriedly waved his hand and explained: "The female doll is afraid of life, don't be surprised. Jinhua, Jinhua, come out to meet the guests. ”
I interrupted him and asked, "Uncle, is this your granddaughter?" ”
He rubbed his hands, scratched his head embarrassedly, and grinned his white teeth: "No, this is my girl." ”
Not only me, but the fifth brother who was looking around on the side rarely looked up at him, so he was even more embarrassed.
"Mo said that the two of you had this expression, and almost everyone who heard it didn't believe it."
I looked left and right and asked, "What about the child's mother?" Why didn't you see it, is it working in the fields? ”
I thought of the couple I had seen on the ridge earlier.
The old man was silent for a while, then stood up from the courtyard with a smile, and said with a smile: "I went after giving birth to a girl that year." ”
So instead of me being silent, I looked at the fifth brother and looked at each other, lowered my head and stopped making a sound, but the old man spoke understandingly.
"Mo, there's nothing to be sad about here, and the girl doesn't have to be like this...... Alright, old man, I'm going to prepare lunch for you. The carriage may not be back until tomorrow, and the two of you will rest here tonight, albeit a little shabby. ”
I hurriedly waved my hand.
When he walked away, the fifth brother said coldly: "This is the end of talking too much and meddling." ”
I turned my head and snorted, and then I saw the little girl hiding behind the door and secretly looking at us, and heard the old man call her Jinhua, so I whispered, "Jinhua? ”
She looked at me with wide eyes, hesitated, and walked towards us, standing five paces away from us, not coming forward again.
She looked at the fifth brother, and then at me, her eyes rolling, but she didn't make any further movements.
"Jinhua, are you called Jinhua?"
She was wearing a linen dress, with several layers rolled up at the hem of her trousers, and it was obvious that she was wearing much larger clothes on her body, which looked very funny, but the little girl's face was not timid, but full of curiosity.
So I waved to her again.
She bit her nails and walked slowly towards me.
I pulled her to my side and brushed the hair from her cheek with my hand, and sure enough, it was a dirty beautiful face, and she hesitated to be pulled by me, and she didn't know how to put her hands and feet. I can feel it, and the fifth brother is also watching me.
The little girl was not afraid of me, but she was very embarrassed, and put her hands behind her back to try to get farther away from me, and I pulled her back. Trying to make myself look kinder, my face smiled like a flower.
"Jinhua, it's okay. You see. ”
I rubbed my hands on the ground and rubbed them on my body, then looked up at her. When the fifth brother saw my movements, he was surprised at first, and then moved the bench and sat a little farther away from me.
Jinhua was also very surprised, she didn't expect me to be like this, in her eyes, the dress on my body should be very expensive, although it is true.
This little girl born in a small mountain village has a pair of big and watery eyes, and I don't know how long it will be before she will be polluted by the turbidity of this earthly world and become chaotic.
Sure enough, I won the favor of the little girl, and she leaned on me, no longer dodging, and no longer afraid to come near me for fear of soiling my clothes. After a while, Jinhua's father came and called us to dinner.
Fifth Brother and I got up from the courtyard and walked towards the door where Jinhua had dodged before.
As soon as I entered the door, a musty smell of ** all year round came to my nose, I saw the fifth brother covering his nose without a trace, and he was shocked to put down his hand, his face was sneering, Jinhua and her father also saw it, and stood at the table and rubbed his hands uneasily.
