Chapter 88: Parting (1)
When I got up, it was not yet dawn.
The lady of the Zuo family prepared a sumptuous breakfast, which was common to the farmer, such as eggs, leek boxes, pancakes, and millet porridge. After everyone finished eating, they hurried away without waiting for the sun to come out.
Zuo Qing is a sincere farmer, Li Yuntian has a rough and bold personality, and the two of them have the meaning of hating each other. Last night, after Chen Xuejiao, Master Qin and the others went to sleep, the two of them drank opposite each other until midnight, calling each other brothers. Before leaving, Zuo Qing instructed Li Yuntian to come to Shandong in the future and must go to his house, and took a few bottles of soybean sauce and a stack of pancakes for Chen Xuejiao to bring to his aunt and sister-in-law Jia.
Chen Xuejiao and Huang Dragonfly held hands and got into the carriage.
"What a pair of handsome sisters." Zuo Qing sighed.
Chen Xuejiao was wearing a cyan shirt, inlaid with a little broken plum blossoms, holding a double screw bun, simple and generous, with a sense of freshness and beauty. Huang Dragonfly was dressed in a goose egg yolk shirt, although it was a half-old and not new style, but she was wearing a big and square style, holding a double snail bun like Chen Xuejiao. Chen Xuejiao's figure is taller than the average girl, and although the yellow dragonfly is a few years older than her, she is petite, and she is not a pair of sisters from behind, no wonder Zuo Qing sighed.
Hearing Zuo Qing's words, both of them were embarrassed, and a touch of red light flew on their cheeks.
By the time the sun came out, it had already gone some way.
Chen Xuejiao and Huang Dragonfly sat in the carriage and chatted, but they were not lonely.
When they traveled after graduation in their previous lives, in order to save money, Chen Xuejiao and her boyfriend chose to take the train. When I went to Weishan Lake, I took a night train, refused to sleep because I was young, chattered endlessly, fell asleep in the second half of the night, woke up in the light of dawn, and found myself lying in the crook of my boyfriend's arm. Half-lit and half-dark, he was staring down at her.
What a good time, but it was shattered in the blink of an eye.
Chen Xuejiao hadn't thought about her previous life for a long time, and she didn't know why those past events often jumped into her mind during the trip this time. You can't even wave it.
"What are you thinking?" The yellow dragonfly nudged her, "Hungry or not." Eat something, see how little you eat in the morning. β
Chen Xuejiao shook her head lightly and said, "I'm not hungry, but I'm a little thirsty." β
Huang Dragonfly opened the kettle, poured water and handed it to Chen Xuejiao. Suddenly, the carriage jolted, and the water spilled onto the clothes, and the startled yellow dragonfly made no effort to pay for it. Chen Xuejiao is not the kind of stingy person, she smiled heartily at the yellow dragonfly, picked up a handkerchief and wiped off the water traces.
Chen Xuejiao suddenly wanted to sing. As soon as he opened his mouth, it was Jay Chou's.
In her previous life, she didn't have all five notes, and the only song she could sing was this one, and it was her boyfriend who would sing it to her when he chased her.
"Wandering in the blue sky by the wind, a cloud falls in front of me, pinch into your shape and follow me with the wind, eat the sorrow one bite at a time, carry you as if carrying the sun, no matter where you go, it is a sunny day......"
Chen Xuejiao's voice is clear and clear, with a soft tail note, as pleasant as a clear spring out of the valley.
The yellow dragonfly listened for a while and couldn't help but follow the beat.
The end of the song. Huang Dragonfly clapped his hands: "It's so good, who did you learn this song from?" I've never heard of it. β
Chen Xuejiao smiled embarrassedly and said, "I listened to a merchant singing in the village." β
After spending two days with Chen Xuejiao, the yellow dragonfly also became lively. Pushing Xue Jiao, he said, "You also teach me, and you teach me." β
Looking at the yellow dragonfly's smiling face, she opened her mouth to teach.
The singing came intermittently outside the carriage.
ββ¦β¦ Yes, yes, that's the tune. β
ββ¦β¦ It's a bit high. β
ββ¦β¦ That's it, let's sing it again. β
Chen Qi'an stopped sitting outside the carriage and was called into his carriage by Master Qin. It turned out that Master Qin chatted with Huang Xiucai and found that he was a very insightful Xiucai. His family was poor. There is no enlightenment or systematic learning, and all the knowledge is obtained by standing outside the private school and eavesdropping and borrowing books by himself. In this way, he was admitted to Xiucai by himself, which is very remarkable. Therefore. Master Qin ordered Chen Qi'an to follow Huang Xiucai to review his homework, so as not to fall behind in his studies on this journey.
In the evening, we arrived at Weishan Lake.
Under the sunset, thousands of waves are displayed in front of you, and the time is spectacular.
In the previous life, due to the accumulation of silt, the area of the lake was greatly reduced, and there were traces of artificial development on the lakeside, even so, when Chen Xuejiao came there to see the lake, lotus, and reeds, her heart was still extremely shocked.
The current Weishan Lake is a pristine natural landscape, without any traces of artificial carving.
Chen Xuejiao has studied geography and has a slight understanding of the composition of Weishan Lake, which is formed by the confluence of small lakes such as Weishan, Xishan, LΓΌmeng, Wujia and Huangshan. Wujia Lake is in the south of Liucheng, Huangshan Lake is in the east of Huangshan Mountain, and the rest of the small lakes are near Weishan Island
Under the sunset, the vast lake water is blue and clear, the sunlight is projected in the waves to show a little golden light, the reeds are golden and the turquoise high and low are intertwined, the ten thousand acres of residual lotus are spread out in the autumn wind, and countless birds soar on the lake.
Li Yuntian often takes Li Dazhuang to Weishan Lake, and he is accustomed to this scenery; Li Danian, Chen Qi'an, and Huang Dragonfly saw such a spectacular lake for the first time, and their faces were filled with amazement and excitement.
Gu Siyuan and Huang Sanlang were indifferent. Master Qin stood by the lake with his hands in his hands, his face calm, and Chen Xuejiao occasionally glanced at him, feeling that there was a trace of sadness hidden in his eyes. Somehow, Chen Xuejiao remembered the graceful and beautiful Xiaokai she saw under Master Qin's wild grass in the plum forest that day.
"In ancient times, the area of Weishan Lake was mountains and land, and later the world changed, and the mulberry field eventually became the sea." Master Qin said lightly.
The autumn is high and cool, the reed medicine on the shore, and the autumn of Weishan Lake is extremely beautiful. Chen Xuejiao's graduation trip here is in the summer, when the lotus flowers are blooming all over the world, and she and her boyfriend are shuttling through the lotus fields in a small boat, picking lotus seeds and water chestnuts. As soon as he showed his eyes, the vicissitudes of life changed, and the two people were separated forever by the giant wheel of time, he lost her, and she revisited in another time and space.
Li Yuntian knew the boatman in Weishan Lake, rented a big boat from the boatman, and rested on the boat at night.
This was the last night that Master Qin, Gu Siyuan, and Huang Sanlang stayed with them, and they would continue to go north early tomorrow morning.
Dinner was eaten on the boat, and Master Qin was so elegant that he ordered the boatman to rock the boat to the lake, catch fresh fish and cook it. Boat Xiaoer sat in the cabin fishing, after catching it, Li Yuntian helped to disembowel, the boat lit the stove, hung the pot, the water in the pot boiled, and directly threw the fish in to cook. When it is cooked, it is served out, sprinkled with salt and chopped green onions, and the food is a fresh word.
"Shandong people have a bold nature, like to drink wine in a big bowl and eat meat in large pieces." Master Qin took a sip of wine and said contentedly.
Li Yuntian heard the elegance in his words, and ordered the boat junior to prepare five catties of beef, three big fish, a plate of peanuts, and a few vegetables and vegetables, and brought them in one by one, and Master Qin took out the good wine he brought, and everyone began to drink and eat meat.
Chen Qi'an, Gu Siyuan, Huang Sanlang, Huang Xiucai and others were infected by the arrogance of Master Qin and Li Yuntian, and they also followed a large piece of meat and drank wine. Even Chen Xuejiao and Huang Dragonfly drank two glasses of wine, so unhappy.
After dinner, rest on the boat.
Master Qin's pear blossom brew looks white in color and fragrant in the mouth, but it has a lot of stamina. Chen Xuejiao was a little dizzy from drinking, and the yellow dragonfly had already gone back to rest.
Chen Xuejiao couldn't sleep, thinking that such a good night had been let down, so she got up and walked to the cabin to enjoy the night view.
The night breeze was very cool, and it took away Chen Xuejiao's wine at once. The vast dark blue night sky is unreservedly upside down overhead, the pale white Milky Way spans the sky, the stars of late autumn are densely packed, bright like the eyes of beasts, staring at the lake wordlessly, and a little fishing fire in the distance flickering and brightening.
It was a summer evening, on the boat, leaning on her boyfriend's shoulder, listening to the frogs, weaving a high and low song, surrounded by the fragrance of lotus flowers. In her sleepiness, she thought it was a lifetime, but she didn't expect him to fail her when he was in graduate school, she went to ask for an explanation, and then followed the gears of fate to this era that did not belong to her.
In two lives, from one door to another, the world behind the door is actually indescribably gloomy. Even if he was in Maoshan Village, reincarnated in the Chen family and gained a new life, he still had to brace himself to face the provocation from Mrs. Chen, Zhao and others. She is not afraid of these, what she is afraid of is that fate will turn her hands into clouds and rain at one time.
With a "snap", Chen Xuejiao had something on her body, and her thoughts were pulled back.
By the faint moonlight, he found that a dead fish had fallen on him, and he couldn't help but say angrily to the lake: "Which ghost is the one who threw the dead fish at me." β
The sound is especially crisp in the silence of the night.
Suddenly, a small boat flew in between the remnants of the lotus, and under the hazy moonlight, Chen Xuejiao saw several figures shaking on the boat, and after another time, hearty laughter exploded on the surface of the lake.
Chen Xuejiao could hear Chen Qi'an's voice.
"Sister, it's us." Accompanied by Chen Qi'an's voice, a small boat flew to the side of the big boat where Chen Xuejiao was.
There were Chen Qi'an, Gu Siyuan, Huang Sanlang, and Li Danian on the boat, smiling at her together.
"What are you doing at night? Where did the dead fish come from, throw them at me? Chen Xuejiao said dissatisfiedly.
"Just now we made a bet to catch a fish with our bare hands, and Brother Siyuan caught one, but I didn't expect it to be a dead fish that floated up, and I threw it on my sister." Chen Qi'an said.
Several teenagers laughed.
Gu Siyuan said embarrassedly: "Miss Xuejiao, it's okay, your clothes are dirty, I'll accompany you with a skirt when I go back." β
How can a boy compensate for the girl's skirt. Gu Siyuan and Chen Xuejiao both blushed slightly, and they couldn't see clearly in the night.
"That's it, that's it, it's out of the way." Chen Xuejiao is not the kind of person who holds on to other people's mistakes.
"Sister, do you want to get on the boat, Gu Gongzi can row, and we will go to the middle of the lake to see the stars in a while." Chen Qi'an's eyes were shining in the night, "Tomorrow, Brother Siyuan and San Lang will return to Beijing, I don't know when we will meet again." β
Chen Xuejiao thought about it and got on the boat with a smile. (To be continued)
