Chapter 8 Encounters with Benefactors
After Ning Er walked out of the Golden and Silver Pavilion, she put the plum blossom hairpin in her hand on her head, turned her head back and glanced at the Golden and Silver Pavilion before turning around and leaving. Ning Er originally thought that after asking the shopkeeper, she should be able to know the information of the son, but she didn't expect that the creation would make people, and the shopkeeper would not know the information of the son, so how to find the son in this vast sea of people.
Ning'er sighed a few times, walked through the bustling and noisy streets, and walked towards the secluded place alone. Walking to the lake, Ning'er stopped.
I remember that when my mother was still alive, she often took Ning'er to play by the lake. After the stones came into contact with the lake, they skimmed the surface of the lake, bounced up again, and several times repeatedly, several small whirlpools could be seen on the surface of the lake.
But Ning'er can't do it, every time her mother teaches Ning'er, Ning'er doesn't learn, as soon as she throws the stone, the stone quickly sinks into the water, and she can't successfully skim the lake, nor can she bounce up. After her mother left, Ning'er never played water rafting again, and after so many years, I don't know if her water rafting skills have improved.
Ning Er leaned over and picked up a few stones from the ground, imitating the way her mother used to hit the water and throw stones, leaning over, holding a stone in her hand and aiming at the lake, her left eye narrowed, and her right hand took the stone to the lake, and threw it out at once.
With a "poof", the stone fell directly into the lake, and did not sweep over the lake as the mother cast, forming a small vortex on the lake.
The boy who gave Ning Er the plum blossom hairpin didn't know what to follow Ning Er to the lake, and at this time he was already standing behind the tree, quietly poking out his head to watch Ning Er's behavior, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
After seeing Ning Er leave the Gold and Silver Pavilion, the young man of the wind quietly followed Ning Er all the way, wanting to see what this girl was going to do, but he didn't expect that she would come to the lake alone to play and play in the water, and her skills were still so good.
When Ning Er heard a snorting laugh, she immediately grabbed the other stones in her hands, put her hands behind her back, and turned to look behind the sound. But I didn't expect to see only a boy standing behind a tree, leaking a small head and upper body, holding the tree with his right hand, smiling happily, and covering his mouth with his left hand.
Seeing Ning'er turn around to look at him, Childe suddenly stopped laughing, touched a few locks of his broken hair with his left hand, put his right hand to his mouth, made a few throat clearing sounds, put his left hand behind his back, and walked out from behind the tree.
Ning Er originally thought that it was just a child snickering at his poor playing skills, but she didn't expect that it was a handsome boy who peeked at her.
Ning Er was immediately attracted by this son, who was dressed in white, with a blue belt around his waist, and a jade pendant hanging on the belt, the whole person was thin and tall, with fair skin and an angular face; Under the two thick eyebrows are a pair of eyes that smile like a crescent, the bridge of the nose is very straight, and the pink lips are smiling.
"Mm-hmm" The boy cleared his throat and walked over to Ning'er, who came back to her senses when she saw Childe walking towards her.
"I didn't expect us to meet again so soon, but this girl's skills are not very good." The boy of Chengfeng said hello simply, while hinting that the girl had already met before, and of course laughed at Ning'er's water drifting skills by the way.
"We've met again so soon, have we met before?" Ning Er had never been alone with other sons before, so she was already very shy, but now that the son was closer to her, she became even more nervous, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva after speaking, Ning Er's face was flushed, like an apple.
Seeing that Ning'er was shy, Gongzi didn't come any closer, but stood an arm away from Ning'er to speak. "It seems that you really don't remember, but I bought the plum hairpin on your head and gave it to the girl." After Childe finished speaking, he also stretched out his finger and pointed to the hairpin on Ning'er's head.
Hearing this, Ning Er touched the plum blossom hairpin on her head with her right hand, and then reacted, "It turns out that you are the son, I later went to the Gold and Silver Pavilion to ask the shopkeeper, but the shopkeeper didn't know you, I was still thinking about how to find you and give you the silver." ”
Childe smiled, "Don't call me Childe, call me Xifeng, what's your name, girl?" ”
"My name is Liu Ning'er, you can call me Ning'er, I will make up enough money to buy hairpins and pay it back to you as soon as possible, you give me an address, and I will send it to you when the time comes." Ning Er thought that she had finally found Xifeng's son, and she must quickly raise the money to return it to him, and she had this matter on her mind.
"Don't worry, I'm not in a hurry to use the money now, just give it to me when you have enough, I just bought the Gold and Silver Pavilion, and the girl can go to the Gold and Silver Pavilion to find me in the future." Xi Feng has never used his real name outside, but in the face of a girl who only has two sides, Xi Feng didn't use his fake name to ride the wind.
"Gold and Silver Pavilion? But I just went to the Gold and Silver Pavilion, and the shopkeeper said that he didn't know you, why did you buy the Gold and Silver Pavilion again? Ning Er heard that Mr. Xi Feng mentioned the Gold and Silver Pavilion, and looked confused, obviously he was in the Gold and Silver Pavilion just now, and the shopkeeper said that he didn't know him, why did Mr. Xi Feng say that he had bought the Gold and Silver Pavilion now?
"Really? Did the shopkeeper say he didn't know me? Maybe the person described by the girl doesn't fit the appearance of the person below, the shopkeeper didn't recognize me, I've been buying the gold and silver pavilion for a while. "Xi Feng Gongzi couldn't help but smile secretly in his heart, girl, you only said that a son came to buy hairpins, of course the shopkeeper can't remember, there are so many people who come to buy hairpins every day.
"Okay, I only have some broken silver with me here, so let's give some back to Mr. Xifeng first." Ning'er wanted to reach into her sleeve to take the silver, but she forgot that she was still holding a few stones in her hand behind her back, and when Ning'er reached into her sleeve, the stone in her hand fell to the ground, and Ning'er panicked, and the purse containing broken silver in her sleeve also fell to the ground.
Ning Er bent down to pick up the purse, but she didn't expect Xi Feng to bend down too, when picking up the purse, the fingers of the two people's hands touched, Ning Er nervously retracted her hand at once, Xi Feng was embarrassed to retract her hand and scratch her head, the two looked at each other, and Ning Er's face turned red again.
"Now, your purse." In order to avoid being embarrassed, Xi Feng quickly bent down and picked up the purse and handed it to Ning'er.
Ning Er took the purse, nervous and didn't know what to say, Xi Feng saw Ning Er's face flushed, and then looked at the stone that had just fallen on the ground, and offered to teach Ning Er to play water to resolve the embarrassing atmosphere between the two people.
"Miss Ning'er, I just saw you playing in the water, but the stone sank into the lake all of a sudden, why don't I teach you how to play in the water?" Xi Feng took the lead in breaking the awkward atmosphere between the two of them and picked up the stone from the ground.
"Okay, okay, thank you." Although Ning Er was a little shy, she was embarrassed to refuse, so she also picked up the stone from the ground and listened to Xi Feng's method.
"Playing water rafting is actually relatively simple, it is skillful, and as long as you master this skill, it is easier to succeed. First of all, in terms of choosing stones, you should choose some relatively flat and light stones, and pinch the stone with your thumb and middle finger, just gently; When you throw the stone outward, you need to be careful, and then you need to use this finger between your thumb and middle finger to pluck it so that it rotates when it is thrown. ”
When Mr. Xi Feng taught Ning Er how to play water drifting, he was very serious, and explained the steps of water drifting in detail, and he had forgotten the little embarrassing situation between the two people just now.
"Look, just be like me." Xi Feng threw a stone in front of Ning Er, and successfully bounced three times on the water, leaving three small whirlpools on the surface of the lake.
"You try." After Mr. Xifeng finished explaining, he wanted Ning'er to give it a try and see if Ning'er had mastered the skills she had just said.
"Okay, I'll try." Ning'er imitated the appearance of the wind just now, and made a posture of playing in the water.
"No, you can't do that." When Xi Feng saw the way Ning Er held the stone, it was still the same as the first time Ning Er threw the stone herself, and the young man of Xi Feng was a little like a teacher, showing an embarrassed expression.
Xi Feng thought for a while, walked behind Ning Er, put his right hand on Ning Er's hand, helped Ning Er pinch the stone, supported Ning Er's body back with his left hand, leaned his body back, and slightly strained his right hand and arm to help Ning Er throw the stone out, and the stone that was thrown jumped four times on the water before falling into the water.
Ning'er felt uncomfortable in the face of the sudden closeness of the west wind, her body became a little stiff, her heart kept pounding, her face was as hot as a fever, Ning'er quietly looked up at Xi Feng, so serious, but she was stunned and didn't listen to anything.
After throwing the stone out, Xi Feng let go of Ning Er's hand, looked at the few small waves on the surface of the lake, and did not feel Ning Er's blush, and counted a few water drifts with a focused face.
Ning Er felt that her face was getting hotter and hotter, she had just had intimate contact with the man in front of her who was not very familiar, Ning Er didn't know if it was because of shyness, or because of the ignorance of the girl's heart, at this time, there was no idea in her mind to seriously study and play in the water, and her mind was full of the man in front of her and the intimate behavior just now. Ning'er felt that she must be sick, and her face would become hotter and hotter.
"Well, I still have something to do, so I'll go first." After Ning Er finished speaking, she immediately turned around and ran away, leaving Xi Feng alone by the lake.
Xi Feng looked at Ning'er who ran away, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and there was a faint tenderness in his eyes, which made people feel a little intoxicated.
