Chapter 4: A Song Moves Jinghua
After a restless night's sleep, he woke up and looked sideways at the woman beside him, who curled up beside him with her back to him, and did not move all night.
Outside, the sky grew brighter, and light shone through the cracks in the hut, and his eyes brightened.
Occasionally, the sound of a rooster crowing can be heard, and it is especially clear on such a cold morning.
The high-pitched sound seemed to spare her clear dream, and the woman beside her suddenly turned over, her face turned around, close at hand, breathing slowly, but she was still in a dream.
Rao is half of her face was faintly buried in the quilt, he still saw that face clearly, and his heart suddenly missed a beat, it was the first time he had seen such a beautiful and shallow face.
The woman's hair in front of her was black and shiny, a little face as white as jade was crystal clear, more beautiful than the most exquisite jade in the world, the fan-like eyelashes hung down, covering her eyes that seemed to have water rippling with stars and moons, her lips were pink and moist and seemed to be wrapped in a layer of crystal, and the fragrance of her body lingered on the tip of his nose, making his heart ripple slightly, and people couldn't help but want to get closer and taste the fragrance of the lips.
He couldn't help but think, there is such a beautiful woman in this world, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is the fairy who strayed into the mortal world, so simple and distant, is she really just a little village girl?
In a daze, the woman beside her supported her body with sleepy eyes, sat up straight, and muttered, "Disturbing dreams!" ”
The man was startled, thinking that she was saying, he looked at her so unreasonably, his heart was slightly confused, and he was about to say something.
But I heard the woman say, "Wait for me, and when I have the money, sooner or later you will become my meal, so that you will not be able to quarrel with me again!" ”
When the man heard this, he almost laughed out loud, but it turned out that she was talking about the crowing chicken, which disturbed her sleep.
With the crowing of the roosters in the village, Dongfang Wu couldn't sleep anymore, got up and got out of bed, and suddenly a chill hit her whole body, she turned around and glanced at the man on the bed, and saw that he was still asleep, so she folded the quilts on both sides for him, and opened the door lightly.
She was thinly dressed, and she slept in a kimono last night, and it was really cold when she came out, so she casually pulled her black hair into a ball, tied it up with a cloth towel, and went out to cover the door behind her, and played Tai Chi in the yard. A gust of wind blew the door open a crack, and through that gap, the man in the room could just see the Dongfang Wu in the courtyard slowly rising.
The more the man looked, the more frightened he felt, how could she still martial arts? The women in the courtyard move like flowing water, endlessly, rigid and soft, containing but not revealing, combining movement and static. It looks soft, but he can see some of the subtle mysteries, this boxing method is to calm the brake, to overcome the rigidity with softness, it is so mysterious!
After a set of punches, the momentum was closed, and the warmth on her body surged up, Dongfang Wu began to cook on the fire, and when she was cooking, she thought about it again, and felt that it was better to cure this person as soon as possible and let him go, presumably this is a loss-making business, and the injuries on his body must be all healed, even if she uses the knife, it will take more than three months to get better.
But this silver is really hard to get, now it's winter again, she is really a person who is not diligent, she is too lazy to move in winter, which requires her to take care of others, this broken ground does not even have a down jacket, if there is no him, she can still go to the cave to get something to use, this winter is not too difficult, but with this person, she can only touch blindly at night, and the flashlight can't be used.
The silver can be earned by a way, if she has been dragged by him, I am afraid that she will freeze to death in this other world this winter, for the sake of the empty reward, it seems that it is really not very cost-effective.
So, it's better to let him get out of the way early, thinking so, she broke the other bun and boiled it into the porridge.
When feeding the man porridge, she said: "I plan to pick up your bones tomorrow, I see that you are extraordinary, you must not be a person like us, you must be here, your relatives and friends are looking for you, and when you are well, you can be reunited with your family as soon as possible!" ”
The man's handsome eyes froze, looking at her shining eyes reflecting the bright moon of the galaxy, he shook slightly, and said in his heart: Why did she suddenly speak so well, she was so marketable before, and she repaid her kindness, how could she suddenly change her sex.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Dongfang Wu smiled and said, "What's the matter, I'm happy and speechless?" ”
"Thank you, girl!" The man swallowed the porridge that Dongfang Wu fed into his mouth and said.
"No, I'm not the kind of person who doesn't want to reciprocate, you just need to remember to have the opportunity to repay me!" Dongfang Wu smiled.
The man suddenly laughed, although his face was still a little pale, but this smile was sincere, he also looked good when he smiled, Dongfang Wu sighed: "You say, how can you be so good-looking as a man, you should smile more, it is good for your health!" ”
The man didn't answer, only quietly held the steamed porridge she sent, and his eyes as deep as the sea suddenly caught a glimpse of the palm of her left hand dragging the bowl, and in the white palm, there was a not shallow wound.
He remembered the light voice she made in the courtyard last night, but he pressed the idea of saying something, and quietly ate the porridge she fed him, and after feeding, Dongfang Wu wiped his lips with his sleeve.
The man suddenly became embarrassed again, but when he saw that there was no trace of offense on the woman's face, he calmed down again.
He was still a little worried, he already had Ling'er, if he recovered from his injuries, he would never be able to bring other women back to hurt her, and he could repay the life-saving grace in other ways.
Dongfang Wu cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks, and went to Zhou Daming's house to see Aunt Zhou, Zhou Daming happened to be not at home, and he was not embarrassed to see it, Zhou Daming was troubled by internal rheumatism for a long time, and her fingers couldn't be straightened, Dongfang Wu couldn't prescribe medicine to her, so she simply gave her acupuncture, and told her that if she was free, she would often come to give her acupuncture and moxibustion.
Aunt Zhou thanked her for a while, and when she left, she brought her some corn, and said some good things about Zhou Daming, saying that Zhou Daming was honest and honest, but her face was thin-skinned, and said that she was almost winter, and her thatched hut must not be warm, so it was better to live in their house for a while.
She couldn't see Aunt Zhou's thoughts, Zhou Daming was indeed a real person, but she didn't think about it so much at the moment.
After returning to the thatched hut, Dongfang Wu explained to the man in the house, and hurried to the city, and used the silver left over from the sale of rags of cloth and jade pendants to buy medicine in the city's low-quality and inexpensive Ankang Hall.
Dongfang Wu tried to bargain with the shopkeeper, or on credit, but her face was raw and her clothes were full of patches, and the shopkeeper politely refused.
The shopkeeper said, "Girl, our medicine was not sold very expensive, it can't be cheaper, if the money is not enough, please come again when you have it!" We have a small business, we don't take credit, and we ask the girl to be considerate! ”
She said to the shopkeeper, "Then you wait, I'll bring the silver later, and you can keep the medicine for me!" ”
The shopkeeper agreed, but he didn't believe her words in his heart, sighed, but didn't take the medicine back, just put it on the counter and waited.
In desperation, she took out a bowl with a missing corner from her arms, untied the cloth towel tied to the ink hair on her head, the ink hair poured down, inserted her right hand into the hair, shook the ink hair, put the cloth towel into her chest, and took out the pan flute that had been drummed out in the yard before, and walked out of the Ankang Hall.
He sat on the ground on the road in front of Ankang Hall, put the bowl in front of him, held the pan flute to his lips with both hands, took a deep breath, and lowered his head.
The music slowly poured out, and the beautiful melody made the people who came and went on the street stop and stopped, yes, no one had ever heard such music, it was very novel, and passers-by stopped to listen.
This music seems to be able to penetrate people's hearts, taking the listener and his line, floating on a wilderness with a low sky, the vastness of which makes people feel lonely and sad in their chests, but without the slightest suppression.
The sound of the pan flute is cold and far-reaching, and the sound tells the deep feelings of depression in the song, and even the listener can feel the unforgettable feelings.
Gradually, Dongfang Wu surrounded a circle of people in front of her, quietly looking at her sitting on the ground, and the earthen bowl in front of her that was missing a corner, she always lowered her head and focused on blowing the pan flute in her hand.
"Dong" someone threw a copper plate into the bowl, the copper plate and the earthen bowl collided, there was a slight echo, in Dongfang Wu heard, the sound was so good.
One by one, Dongfang Wu shook the pan flute in his hand, and the air flow blown out of his mouth hit and reverberated in the Xiao pipe, colliding with a different kind of tactful tune, beautiful and desolate, like a cool and faint sad wind in the deep mountains and valleys, making the listener cry and smell the heartbreak.
After the song, she picked up the bowl and bowed deeply in front of everyone, and brought the bowl to the crowd, some people threw some copper plates into the bowl, and some threw one or two pieces of silver into the bowl a little wider, and slowly walked around, but the group of people around her did not mean to disperse.
Dongfang Wu always lowered his head, and said lightly to the person who had thrown a small amount of money into the broken bowl: "Thank you, thank you!" ”
Before everyone came to their senses, she had already turned around and ran into the Ankang Hall behind her, handed over the silver money to the stunned shopkeeper, and after taking the medicine, she left the scene of the accident with her head down and unkempt.
On the Ankang Hall, the window on the second floor was pulled up and closed by a slender hand, and only the people in the room could be heard laughing softly, but the voice was unusually good.
Dongfang Wu didn't expect that she was begging with music on the road, and she actually let the matter spread to Jinghua City in the south, it was really a good thing not to go out, and a bad thing to spread thousands of miles!
In this way, there is a beggar girl in Tudou County, Shunan County, on the south street of the county, with a song of the world, attracting the whole city pedestrians to stop and listen, and then it spread, so Tudou County quickly became lively, and some people heard the news of this gossip, and rushed to Tudou County from all over the place to find the beggar girl, hoping to smell the world's divine sound.
