Chapter 34: Rainbows and Shallow Ripples
"Third sister." Yulian called softly.
"Well......" The little lady glanced up at her, and found that the big sister didn't seem to have a follow-up, so she continued to silently look at the surrounding carved buildings and water pavilions with those bright eyes. The setting sun hung on the arc corridor in the air, gilding it with a beautiful golden glow, and two rainbows were reflected in the big eyes of the little lady.
The third sister must have never been out of Hedong, and maybe even their small village never left.
Gaoping, Hedong, because it is the main battlefield area of the northern western front, has been warring for many years. Drought, locusts, wars, and taxes are rampant, in such a place, in a village, the third sister must have never seen such a scene in Tokyo. Not to mention compared to Hedong, the Fu family's villa is a good house in Tokyo.
The third sister watched so intently that she didn't even pay attention to Yulian.
Seeing her eyes, Yulian suddenly saw herself a few years ago, when she walked into the Li family in the river. At that time, it was the first time I had seen such a clear and beautiful place; I think that such a place is full of sunlight even in the corners.
The little girl's heart is not deep, and Yulian seems to have empathized with her heart at this time from the eyes of the third sister.
Yulian sighed lightly and said softly: "Third sister, maybe some roads are destined, will you grow into a completely different woman from me......"
The little girl raised her head, not quite understanding what Yulian said, she looked a little dazed.
The yard is very quiet, and the huge back garden is now Yulian and the third sister; There are also Shao Ge'er and Lao Huang who are in the outer courtyard, and there are only four people in the entire mansion now. If nothing else, it's a lot of work to clean up.
Guo Shao has no parents, no children, no wife, brothers or even relatives, and his people are extremely thin. Otherwise, there may be relatives and relatives who will share all this at this moment, and at the same time help to enrich the house. However, the current situation is that Guo's mansion is empty.
Yulian booked a room for the third sister next to the main house facing the pond in the back garden, and told her: "You will live here in the future, this room belongs to you, clean it up." ”
The third sister rarely speaks, and occasionally speaks briefly in Hefang dialect.
Yulian came out of that room, and wanted to think about how to take care of this courtyard, but Brother Shao didn't have time to take care of it. But she only felt upset for a while, and she felt very tired before it got dark. Walking to the edge of the pond with lotus leaves, she shone into the water, and subconsciously reached out and touched her cheek.
Today's mood is really up and down. In the morning, she was really the most excited and dazzling time in her life, and she was still in a dream, and she had not completely come back to her senses; Those scenes that can only be seen in fantasies and dreams have been experienced in one morning! She always felt like she was in a dream when she looked at herself in the water. Brother Shao was suddenly satisfied with the impossible scenario that she originally thought was ethereal, and she barely had time to prepare psychologically...... Although such a wish is so superficial, like a rootless ping in a pond, Yulian still feels that it is precious and worth remembering.
But why did I fall into this inexplicable sadness in front of me?
Maybe I heard that my parents were dead...... They really haven't even had a good day; Maybe it's seeing with your own eyes how a father sells his daughter.
At this moment, I suddenly heard Guo Shao's voice say, "What are you thinking?" ”
Yulian hurriedly turned around and saw Shao Ge'er walking towards the pond. She quickly smiled, trying to show that she was happy, but her eyes could not hide it, and there was a little sadness in her eyes.
Sure enough, Guo Shao looked at her eyes carefully: "What, are you still angry about that?" This kind of person is out of sight and out of mind, so don't pay attention to it when he drives it away. ”
Yulian shook her head, suppressed her reluctant smile, and frowned slightly. The gentle willow eyebrows, naturally without the slightest trace of pruning, look a little thick; There are some fine and miscellaneous fine hairs at the bottom of the eyebrows, which makes a pair of eyebrows look a little frizzy. Yulian's hair seems to be relatively developed, and her hair is also delicate and thick.
She was silent for a moment and said, "I'm not thinking about that person. ”
Guo Shao has finished his day's work, and it is the time when the city is resting, and now he is idle, he has become very patient, and his tone is also very soft: "Then what are you thinking?" ”
Yulian said: "What Guo Lang did for me today, I will not forget." ”
"Hmm." Guo Shao replied casually, didn't pay much attention to it, and looked at the beautiful orange-yellow waves on the surface of the lake with great interest. It is full of nature, and you can forget that you are in the capital city of Tokyo.
But immediately I heard Yulian continue: "I will repay you." You can treat me like a thing, something you can dispose of as you please...... But it's just you, you can't sell me! ”
Guo Shao turned his head in surprise: "Why do you say this, I won't sell you." ”
Yulian pursed her lips, "If one day you have to do it, or if you get bored, you let me die." I just want to live one last time, I'm really tired......"
"Yulian!" Guo Shao was moved.
Yulian's eyes were full of sunset sadness: "How good it would be if I were the third sister...... I know I can only make one thing for you, but I don't want to be sold again. ”
Yesterday in the blacksmith's shop, just after reuniting with her, she had already spoken in a tone like a mouthful. Guo Shao found that he didn't fully understand at the time, and he was not a person who was good at talking too much, so he didn't respond, but just agreed to her request.
Now that she confided like this for the second time, suddenly Guo Shao seemed to understand: Ancient people would not say anything too directly, and she confided so boldly, it was actually a confession, right?
Guo Shao was stunned, and suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.
The silence fell again, the garden was quiet, and the emotions drifted gently in the breeze, and the sprinkling on the water became a circle of shallow ripples.
Guo Shao was moved, but he didn't know what to say or how to comfort her...... Could it be that because he became a military general, after a few years, he has been completely assimilated and has become a pure martial artist?
"Alas......" Yulian sighed softly, and it could be seen that she was very lost. Women are always easy to be emotional, and they were so happy and excited because they had been sulking for a few years, regained their self-esteem, and realized their fantasies; It was less than a day before he was depressed and looked depressed.
Guo Shao really couldn't say what he was suffering, and touched his forehead. I had eaten a lot of ink in my previous life, so why was my stomach blank?
Seeing that he was stunned there and seemed to have nothing to say, Yulian showed a reluctant smile and said softly, "It's okay, I'll go cook for Guo Lang." Guo Shao wanted to say that he wanted to see her smile from the heart, not such a forced smile. But to say this sentence that doesn't hurt or itch?
"Wait."
Guo Shaoleng paused for a while, and finally regained his composure. He pointed out a dandelion not far away to Yulian.
Yulian looked over as she said, and sure enough, she saw a plant that had already bloomed white flowers, and as soon as the breeze blew, the small white petals floated into the air one after another with the seeds. She didn't know why Guo Shao suddenly became interested in a small grass. Just as he was wondering, his voice sounded in his ears: "That dandelion grew out of a crack in the stone." It used to be a seed, like those white flowers floating in the air; Where it will fall, just see where the wind blows......
It's small and can't choose where it lands on its own; If you're unlucky, it's like the one that fell into a barren stone crevice. But it can choose to survive and grow with little water. Look, even if it grows in a crack in the stone, doesn't it grow green leaves and beautiful white flowers? ”
"Guo Lang......" Yulian looked at his face and eyes carefully, and suddenly felt that she had been in front of the blacksmith shop for many days, but she had not fully felt all of him. This man, who is often dressed in iron armor and makes people afraid, sometimes has such a gentle face.
Guo Shao's voice became low, as if he was afraid of being overheard by dandelions, "I know what you are thinking, you are always entangled in what is wrong with you." I want to tell you, it's okay. In my eyes, you are like a wonderful dandelion, although a little unfortunate, but you have been resilient for so many days. ”
Yulian obviously understood, and the blush and shyness on her face had fully exposed her heart. Guo Shao said that she was very good, and it was a very convincing compliment, so it meant that he liked her and did not dislike her.
"Do you really think so?"
Guo Shao nodded without hesitation.
Yulian is actually very smart, she should be able to understand it right away, because this tactful way of confession is the beginning of her......
"I'll repay you." Yulian whispered with a red face. Yesterday's words, as if in the ears, suddenly connected.
She seemed to want to understand Guo Shao more and more, and when she was having dinner, her eyes revealed that her mind was all on Guo Shao. She may now want to understand not only the surface of Guo Shao, but also what is inside him.
"Do you have a sister?" Yulian finally couldn't help but ask him again.
Guo Shao didn't answer because he didn't know how to answer.
……
After dinner and returning to the room, Guo Shao finally saw how she wanted to repay herself. She didn't comb it after bathing, her hair was scattered, and she slipped into Guo Shao's room lightly in her middle coat.
Just now, Guo Shao was sitting on a chair, playing with an inkstone next to him, boredly wondering how much this thing would be worth in modern times. Suddenly, I saw Yulian come in like this, and immediately stayed there. It was dark outside, and a candle was lit in the house, and she was still disheveled in the middle of the night.
Guo Shao swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and his mood immediately became nervous. In ancient times, there was really no opportunity to get close to women. All of a sudden, he seemed to have forgotten all the experience of his previous life, and he was so nervous that he didn't dare to come out.
Yulian approached with a red face, her hand clutching the corner of her clothes as if waiting for something. But Guo Shao found that somehow, his hands and feet were uncontrollable as if they were stained with glue, and he couldn't move. He just sat there with his eyes fixed on him, like a fool.
Yulian also seemed to be very nervous, unable to say anything, and quietly glanced at Guo Shao. After a few more moments, she gently grabbed his hand. Her palms are a little rough, but there is a refreshing fragrance on her body.
She trembled and held Guo Shao's right hand, slowly grabbed it and reached into her skirt and placed it on her smooth leg. In the quiet of the night, her heavy breathing could be heard at this time.
