Chapter 278: Healing
Finally safely on board! After Gu Xiyu got on the boat, he breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Isn't it much better now?" After sitting down on the boat, Ye Qinglan asked Gu Xiyu with a smile.
Gu Xiyu was stunned, and nodded with a pale face. Mo Xiang and Jade didn't dare to be careless, and sat beside Gu Xiyu on the left and right.
Ye Qinglan pursed her lips and smiled, and beckoned Rui Xue and Gui Yuan to sit down as well.
The boat family is a middle-aged man in his forties, with a simple and simple face and dark skin. The paddle is slow and powerful, and the wooden boat is very smooth. Beside this man, there is also a middle-aged woman of a similar age. Apparently the boatman's wife. Although he looks mediocre, he is very neatly cleaned up. I cook tea with a stove.
The breeze blows and the surface of the lake ripples, shining silver in the sun, which is beautiful.
Ye Qinglan looked into the distance, only feeling relaxed and happy, and couldn't help but sigh lightly with satisfaction.
Gui Yuan took a boat for the first time in his life, he was both excited and excited, and he forgot the difference between master and servant, pulled Ye Qinglan's sleeve and said, "Miss, look, there are fish over there." ”
Ye Qinglan looked over, and sure enough, there was a fish swimming happily on the surface of the lake. couldn't help but feel childlike, and put his hands around his mouth to make a trumpet shape: "Hey, if you don't swim away, we will catch you to make soup!" ”
The fish wagged its tail and swam away quickly.
Ye Qinglan giggled, Gu Xiyu was also amused, and unconsciously let go of the hand that was tightly holding the corner of her clothes, and her pale face was dyed with a touch of redness.
"You see, it's not scary to take a boat." Ye Qinglan looked at Gu Xiyu with a smile: "Water is not terrible. What is really scary is the human heart. ”
Is it the human heart that is really scary?
Gu Xiyu thought about this sentence silently, and lost her mind for a while.
Ye Qinglan didn't bother her, just sat on the side of the boat, bent down and picked up the lake with her hands. The water is a little cool, and it is strangely comfortable when you glide over the palm of your hand.
Gu Xiyu came back to her senses and shouted nervously, "Come over quickly." It's too dangerous. "What if I accidentally fall into the water?
Ye Qinglan grinned: "What's dangerous." Since you're visiting the lake, of course you need to do something interesting. As he spoke, he took off his shoes and socks, revealing his white feet and a white and tender calf. Then sit down on the edge of the boat and let your legs down just enough to touch the lake.
Gu Xiyu gasped: "You...... How can you show your legs and feet. "It's all gone. If someone sees it, it's bad!
Ye Qinglan smiled unmindingly: "There is no one else here, just a few of you, what are you afraid of." "What kind of world is this, it's not dignified to show your feet.
Ruixue was also taken aback. Busy said: "Miss, this is absolutely unacceptable. Let's hurry up! ”
Ye Qinglan replied nonchalantly: "Don't worry, even if you fall into the water." I can also swim to the shore on my own. In her last life, her favorite sport was swimming. In the waterway in the swimming pool, it is no problem to swim a dozen round trips. Later, when he became bolder, he ran to the beach to swim. If nothing else, it's no problem to cope with such a calm lake.
What's more. She made up her mind to completely cure Gu Xiyu's "fear of water" today, so she had to do something out of the ordinary to stimulate Gu Xiyu.
Thinking of this, Ye Qinglan encouraged Rui Xue and Gui Yuan again: "It's really comfortable like this, and you two can also learn from me to sit on the side of the boat." ”
Rui Xue's head shook like a wave drum, and she refused to do anything. Gui Yuan was eager to try, at the instigation of Ye Qinglan. I sat down on the side of the boat. As soon as his bare feet touched the surface of the lake, Gui Yuan suddenly screamed. It startled everyone. Especially Gu Xiyu, her pretty face was white and bloodless: "Gui, Guiyuan." What happened to you? ”
Gui Yuan smiled and responded: "It's so comfortable, you guys can try it too!" ”
Ye Qinglan glanced at Gui Yuan approvingly, and then smiled at Mo Xiang and Jade: "You two also come here, you see, it's not good for me and Gui Yuan to sit by the boat." ”
Moxiang is the same as Ruixue. resolutely refused, and firmly guarded Gu Xiyu. Jadeite was a little moved. Tentatively begged: "Miss, can the slave also go sit for a while?" ”
Gu Xiyu frowned and hesitated for a long time before nodding.
Jade was very happy and was about to walk over. I heard Ye Qinglan smile and say, "Don't come here." There are already me and Gui Yuan on this side, and you sit on the other side. Otherwise, the boat will tip to the side, and then it will all have to fall overboard. ”
Jade smiled embarrassedly, sat down on the other side, carefully took off her shoes and socks, and then lowered her legs. When her feet touched the cool water, she was very comfortable.
Gu Xiyu's originally nervous feelings finally eased a little, and she couldn't help asking, "Cousin Lan, are you really not afraid of falling into the water?" ”
Ye Qinglan responded leisurely: "Naturally, you are afraid of falling into the water. However, you can't lose the fun of playing in the water because you are afraid of falling into the water. In this way, if you choke on food once, won't you have to go on a hunger strike and never eat again? ”
The analogy was so funny that the maids laughed. Even the boatmen who rowed the boats grinned. There are many people who go on the boat every day to play, and there are also female dependents. Most of them are tense and elegant, reserved to enjoy the lake view. I have never seen such a free and unrestrained young lady as this young lady today.
Gu Xiyu thought about it and smiled, and the nerves that had been tense slowly relaxed.
Ye Qinglan continued: "Those who don't know are fearless, and those who have never fallen into the water don't know the pain of drowning. So, it's always easy for me to say. You've been drowning, so you're afraid of water. Actually, your water is not scary at all. As long as you are willing to try hard, you will definitely be able to overcome this shadow in your heart and completely put aside this bad memory. ”
Gu Xiyu was silent.
She was only six years old at the time, and she was frightened by Shen Qiuyu and fell into the water. He almost drowned, but when he was rescued, his heart was full of fear and fear. The eldest brother begged her to keep this secret again, and she was both aggrieved and sad. Later, she not only hated Shen Qiuyu, but also never dared to approach the water again.
Cousin Lan was right. Water is not actually terrible, it is the human heart that is terrible.
Now that she's grown up, how can she still hide from something she's afraid like a child? Is it going to go on like this forever?
The eldest brother brought himself to the lake, and Cousin Lan kept explaining her with good intentions, they were all the closest people to her, and they were also the people who cared about her the most. They do this in the hope that they will get out of the shadow of their childhood......
Gu Xiyu thought for a long time, and the last trace of gloom between her eyebrows gradually dissipated. Suddenly, he said, "Cousin Lan, can I sit next to you too?" ”
Ye Qinglan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled. She already loves to laugh, but her smile at this time has a bright beauty that she usually doesn't have: "Cousin Xiyu, have you finally figured it out?" ”
Gu Xiyu nodded slowly, and her eyes gradually brightened.
Ye Qinglan's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, the corners of her lips were raised high, and her voice was full of pleasure: "It's good that you figured it out." However, if you can't swim, don't sit on the side of the boat. If I accidentally fall into the water again, I'll have to jump in to save you. I know how to swim, but I don't have the skills to take you to the shore. ”
Gu Xiyu pursed her lips and smiled, and slowly stood up from the boat. Since getting on the boat, I took the lake view seriously for the first time, and then smiled and said, "Cousin Lan, you are right, the lake view is indeed very beautiful." ”
The lake in front of her was the most beautiful scenery she had ever seen in her life.
The breeze blew her hair, fluttering in her ears and on the side of her face, her skirt fluttering, and her pretty face as white as jade raised a shallow smile, which was not as beautiful as mortals.
Ye Qinglan turned her head to look at her with a smile, and praised her sincerely: "Cousin Xiyu, you are really beautiful and beautiful." ”
The withdrawn and autistic Gu Xiyu, the fragile and pitiful beauty, is like a fragile crystal doll, which makes people worry that it will break if they touch it. But now, standing in the sun, her eyebrows and eyes are shining with a smile, like a butterfly that has broken out of a cocoon and is reborn, colorful and dazzling.
Mo Xiang and Jade have served Gu Xiyu for many years, and they couldn't be clearer about Gu Xiyu's fear of water. At this time, seeing Gu Xiyu looking at the lake scenery in such a peaceful mood, she was speechless in surprise.
At this time, the young lady is really different from before, and I can't say what the specific differences are. can look at such a young lady, which makes people feel happy from the bottom of their hearts.
It's all because of Ye Qinglan's appearance that Miss will have such a big change! Her smile, as if magical, made the young lady confident and cheerful little by little, and became what she is now!
Mo Xiang and Jade glanced at each other, and they all looked at Ye Qinglan together.
Ye Qinglan's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and she smiled extremely happily. The hanging legs swayed slightly naturally, gently kicking the water.
It was a wise decision to go out to the lake today. Gu Xiyu's heart knot was completely untied, and from now on, he would never be afraid of water again. In the future, she will be like an ordinary girl, becoming lively, cute and youthful.
Ye Qinglan, who was immersed in joy, didn't notice that another wooden boat was slowly approaching.
The young man who was originally sitting on the boat occasionally turned around, and after seeing Ye Qinglan's unladylike demeanor, he immediately frowned. If you look closely, the young feet looming on the skirt are also faintly visible.
The young man's smile suddenly disappeared, the corners of his lips pursed extremely tightly, and a nameless anger surged in his heart.
How can this hateful girl be so presumptuous in broad daylight...... How can you show your feet for people to see......
Seeing that the boat was about to get closer, Gu Xi suddenly raised his voice and said, "Boat man, row the boat to the middle of the lake, we are going to fish." ”
The boatman answered, rowed the pulp hard, and quickly rocked the boat away.
Ye Yuanzhou and Cui Yu, who were facing away from each other, didn't know that they passed by Ye Qinglan.
