CHAPTER XXXVII

I couldn't listen to what Hu Liuye said later, and only his sentence echoed over and over again in my mind: Your mother is the most protective of her shortcomings.

This is the first time I've heard a different story about my mother. Daddy always said how gentle and virtuous his mother was, how humble and kind, and said that her mother made a good needlework and a good soup; When people in the village mention their mothers, they only talk about how their mothers' faces are out of the dust, and how beautiful they are like flowers. I always thought that my mother was the kind of person who was gentle and quiet and indisputable. Now it seems that the mother in Hu Liuye's mouth is her real temperament, right?

Fei Yan said that in front of the man she likes, a woman will become gentle and gentle like water, even her own mother.

I think what Fei Yan said is very reasonable, because I have seen Fei Yan's old lady talking to Fei Yan's father in a soft voice more than once, sometimes twisting and shy, and then thinking about Fei Yan's old lady when she scolded the street-I suddenly felt an indescribable warmth and ...... Disgusting.

Is my mother also such a character? Wouldn't it be tiring to restrain your temperament all day long before your dad is full?

If the mother is still there, and Fei Yan's mother comes to the door to scold again, will she simply scold back? Or like Daddy, holding my ears and hiding behind the door? Daddy said that good men don't fight with women!

I really hope my mother is still alive!

Hu Liuye chattered endlessly, and an unknown bud quietly emerged from the grass next to his legs, and then grew bigger and bigger, and in a few moments, it grew more than one person tall, and a cluster of fan-like leaves at the top just fell on Hu Liuye's head, becoming a natural umbrella cover, blocking the blazing sunlight on the top for him.

I suddenly felt a dry mouth, and then I realized that after standing under the sun for a long time, a heavy sweat had already soaked through my clothes.

Hu Liuye looked at me, and then waved his hand at the umbrella cover on top of him, and a few leaves immediately stretched out from the umbrella cover, just blocking my head.

"It's the seeds that cover the sun, I have two more here, do you want them?"

When Hu Liuye saw me looking at the leaves above my head, he took out a few flat beans that were as red as a bird's egg from his sleeve and handed them over.

I hesitated for a moment, then picked a small one and picked it up.

Hu Liuye put the remaining three into his sleeve, and then touched them inside, and took out a palm-sized thing for a long time and said, "Xian'er, do you know this?" ”

I took it and it turned out to be a turquoise turtle shell.

This shell is light and fluttering, but it feels warm as jade in the hand, as if it is a living thing.

"There is a mountain in the north of Qingqiu called Tianze, a million zhang high, several and the sky, there is a green vine on it, no flowers and no leaves, bear green fruits, its shape is like a turtle, the head and tail have both limbs, to three thousand years, then the melon is ripe and falls. Its fruit into the soil that is rotten, falling into the water will dissolve, the fire into ashes, see the wood is withered, every gold is not into it, after 3,000 years, its limbs and heads are all gone, only a pair of tortoise shells remain, the color is like jasper, light as a feather, can be the world's affairs. Those who are good at divination are called Tianmu. ”
