93. Lover's fruit
Seeing off Shen Yanru's sister and brother who came to apologize for the special 'door', Qing Zhan slowly closed Lin Nan Xiaozhu's 'door'. The silent courtyard was once again as clean as it once was.
Qingzhan hummed a little song happily, and jumped up and down when she walked.
Tang Songluo didn't know where to get out of it, and when he saw Qing Zhan like this, he asked with a smile, "What's wrong with you, so happy?"
Qing Zhan replied with a smile: "Do you know, I am a fairy 'girl' sister~"
Tang Songluo just laughed, and then said, "Silly boy." ”
His eyes looked at the closed 'door', and then asked, "Who is that 'girl' child outside the 'door' just now?"
"Oh, that's Shen Yanru, just now his brother climbed the wall and fell in, and she brought him to apologize. Qing Zhan said, and pointed to a clump of mangosteen that had been broken in the corner of the courtyard to show Tang Song Luo.
Tang Songluo looked at the mangosteen noncommittally, and then whispered: "I always feel that 'girl' child is a bit like you." ”
"Like me, am you beautiful like me?" Qing Zhan smiled and followed Tang Songluo into the room, and asked so unrelentingly.
Tang Songluo smiled and said, "Naturally, it's not as beautiful as you." ”
Then Qingzhan laughed even more cheerfully, and her clear laughter passed over the courtyard wall and dissipated into the long street.
In early summer, the mountain town is exceptionally cool, and in the early morning, there is even more sparkling 'dew' on the leaves of the plants. These small sparkling liquids are collected and become a wonderful source of water for making tea.
The next morning, Qing Zhan was busy with this in the yard.
A few days ago, he repeatedly hit a wall, and Tang Songluo was also anxious in his eyes. He didn't want Qingzhan to be wronged a little, so he didn't take her out these days and let her play by herself.
Qing Zhan was holding an emerald 'jade' bowl to collect the 'dew' from the leaves, but was disturbed by a knock on the 'door'.
The knock on the 'door' was very soft, and if she hadn't listened carefully, she would probably think that someone's bird had pecked at the wooden 'door', or that some hard-working girl was beating her clothes.
Qing Zhan stopped what she was doing, she stood in the courtyard and listened carefully, and sure enough, there was a small knock on the door.
These days, Lin Nanxiaozhu is really lively.
Qing Zhan thought so, and a smile appeared on her face. She put the 'jade' bowl in her hand on the table in the courtyard and went to open the 'door'.
However, when she opened the door, she found that there was no one outside.
Yes, Qing Zhan looked left and right, but found that there was no one in the short street. There was only a faint sound of footsteps tapping on the floor, which seemed to be the sound of running at a fast speed.
Qing Zhan smiled helplessly, and when she was about to close the 'door', she found that there was a small basket of fruits on the ground outside the 'door'.
This is a kind of small 'bright' red and 'colored' fruit, each about the size of a fingernail. It looks fresh and delicious.
Qing Zhan squatted down, she lifted the basket and twisted one into her mouth and tasted it, this fruit cracked between Qing Zhan's 'lips' and teeth, and the thick juice slowly slid down Qing Zhan's throat, and the slight sour taste 'stimulated' the delicious taste buds.
Her eyes flashed with joy, she shook her head, and returned to the courtyard with the basket, enjoying the delicacies.
Another day passed, and Qing Zhan heard a knock on the 'door' at about the same time, and when she went to open the 'door', there was still no one outside the 'door', only a small basket of fruit.
The small basket of fruits is also made of tree branches, which looks very cute.
Qing Zhan took these things again, and then enjoyed them.
After a few days, every day Qingzhan would receive fruits from someone who didn't know who sent them, and these small delicacies also added a lot of good mood to Qingzhan.
But she still didn't know who sent these things.
After eating the fruits, Qingzhan washed out the small baskets and hung them in the yard to dry one by one.
Before she knew it, she had saved six or seven baskets, and it seemed that she had gained a lot.
Early this morning, Qing Zhan was picked up by Tang Songluo early in the morning. He said he wanted to take her to the mountains to watch the sunrise.
At that time, the sky was still gray and 'cloudy', and the sun did not even 'show' out of the mountain. The groggy Qing Zhan let Tang Song Luo drag him up the mountain behind Shenjia Village.
This trip was naturally a failure, and when the sun climbed out of the mountain, Qing Zhan was leaning on Tang Song Luo's arms and sleeping happily.
The newborn sunlight gradually illuminates the whole world, and the village is also flooded with bright sunlight.
Qing Zhan woke up with a big yawn, she 'rubbed' and 'rubbed' her sleepy eyes, and then said happily: "The sun is out, let's go back!"
So Tang Songluo had to smile, and the two walked along the same road to Lin Nan Xiaozhu.
I have to say that the mountain products behind Shenjia Village are quite rich, and after walking a few steps, Qing Zhan saw the vegetation she didn't know, but she knew the red fruits on it, and she hadn't eaten less in the past few days.
So Qingzhan ran over happily and reached out to pick it, but was coldly pricked by the wooden thorns on the branch. Only then did she realize that these not tall bushes were actually full of thorns, as if a sharp army was blocking the picking of idlers.
Tang Songluo walked over, he took Qing Zhan's hand and checked it carefully, and found that there was no wooden thorn poking into the skin, so he put his mind at ease and said to Qing Zhan with a smile.
"It's a lover's fruit, a wild fruit that tastes good, but it has thorns on it, so be careful when picking it. Tang Songluo said, then plucked one from the bush and handed it to Qing Zhan, and then continued to explain.
"This is a fruit tree with a legend, and its history is still very long. Tang Songluo's voice was faint, and he told the story about the fruit tree in a gentle and calm voice.
The story is not long, and the road back to Linnan Xiaozhu is not too far, and when the story is finished, Qingzhan also returned to Linnan Xiaozhu.
As soon as he stepped on the stone street outside Lin Nanxiaozhu, Qing Zhan saw a short figure that was not unfamiliar.
This small figure swayed outside the 'door', carrying a basket of red fruits in his hand. He cautiously stretched out his hand and knocked on the 'door', and then leaned on the 'door' to listen to the movement, but this time there was no one in the 'door', so there was no sound of the 'door' opening.
This kid is none other than Shen Nian'an.
Shen Nian'an's dirty little face was 'confused' and sad, and he tried to knock on the 'door' again, but still did not get a response.
Qing Zhan laughed softly, it turned out that he had given him the fruits of the past few days.
The little boy was born so cute and clever that Qing Zhan was more and more happy, so she said to him, "Are you here to bring me fruit?"
Shen Nian'an didn't expect someone to speak here, he was obviously startled, his hand shook, and a basket full of fruits was sprinkled.
When he turned around, he saw the lamp, and he became even more restless, and after hesitating for a moment, he put the basket in his hand to the ground, and ran away as if it were flying.
And Qing Zhan looked at him and couldn't help laughing.
This morning's story officially began.
