Chapter 7 Playing in the Water Reminisces Childhood

After the puja, people began to descend the mountain in twos and threes.

Xiangzi prepared his horse and came to the dormitory where Juanzi lived. The door was open, but there was no one inside, only the small backpack with broken flowers on a blue background, still hanging lonely on the wall of the kang.

Xiangzi cautiously poked his head in, took off his small backpack, looked at the contents of it, confirmed that it was Juanzi, and carried it out of the door. muttered words that even he couldn't hear clearly. I slipped around the temple, and then walked listlessly towards the mountain gate.

At this time, it was almost noon. The climate in the mountains is not as dry and muggy as outside, and the sky is exceptionally transparent. The tall ginkgo tree, bathing heartily in the sun, fell the shadow of a giant umbrella on the thick feet, forming a cool world. Shoko stood in the shade of the tree, looking around, hoping to spot Juanzi's figure.

In the quiet mountains, there are occasionally one or two figures descending from the mountain. The whole valley, like a beautiful landscape painting, hangs there, not moving.

A breeze blew, and the girlish weeping willow by the brook swayed her hair lightly, revealing a red that was not obvious. Shoko's spirits were lifted, and she walked briskly towards it.

Juanzi sat on the big bluestone under the willow tree, pinched the tail of a big dragonfly with one hand, stretched out her finger with the other hand, and gently poked the dragonfly's head, hanging two glass ball-like heads, giggling like a child.

Shoko slowed down, he didn't want to easily break the beauty in front of him.

Seeing that Juanzi raised her hand and let go of the dragonfly, she looked in the direction it flew in for a while, before turning her head and shouting in a clear voice: "Come out!" Sneaky. ”

Xiangzi looked a little embarrassed, and Chong Juan smiled. He muttered a little reproachfully: "It's past noon, why don't you come down the mountain quickly, can you get home before dark?" ”

Juanzi glanced at him, and said coquettishly: "Who said I want to go back today?" ”

When Xiangzi heard this, he stared anxiously and said, "The shopkeeper wants us to come home before dark today." ”

Juanzi pouted at him strangely and said, "You agreed, but I didn't answer." ”

Xiangzi glanced at Juanzi helplessly, sighed lightly and said nothing. He knew in his heart that every time he encountered Juanzi's cheating, he couldn't go home on time, it was nothing more than being scolded by the shopkeeper. And if you make Juanzi unhappy, your life will be sad. Just ignoring him will make him feel uncomfortable. He had to use a few days of "courtesy" and tricks to make Juanzi happy again.

Xiangzi was about to turn around and leave, but he heard Juanzi pretend to be cold and say, "Why don't you help me in a fight today?" ”

Seeing her pretending to be displeased, Shoko laughed out loud. Juan Zibai glanced at him, and said angrily: "I'm embarrassed to laugh, and I'm not afraid that people will hurt me." ”

Xiangzi couldn't help laughing, leaned forward, blushed and said, "How majestic are you today?" Not to mention three raw gourds, even two more will make you kick a dog and eat. ”

When Juanzi heard this, a faint red glow flew over her face. With a slightly meaningful expression, he said, "That is, this girl hasn't used her real skills yet." ”

After a pause, his face was gloomy and he shouted, "Then you can't ignore me?" If you meet a master, aren't you afraid that I will suffer? ”

Xiangzi smiled and threw the two shiny pebbles into the air, easily took them back into his hand, and said as if to himself, "I have been hiding behind you." ”

Juanzi glanced at him coquettishly and didn't say anything. She knew in her heart that Xiangzi would never disregard her own safety, and she also knew very well the power of the stones in his hands. At the beginning, the master taught the secret weapon, but Juanzi was afraid of hand pain, so he only practiced darts, and Shizi just learned the same.

Juanzi's shoes seemed to have fallen into grains of sand. As she spoke, she unhurriedly took off the embroidered shoe on her left foot, knocked on the stone and shook it to the sky, patted the soles of her feet with her hands, and then slowly put them on again.

Although Xiangzi didn't dare to look at it with his eyes, he witnessed all this very carefully, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud. Juanzi looked up at him, and said with a suspicious and somewhat displeased face, "What are you smiling at?" ”

Xiangzi shook his head at her in a panic, and muttered with a somewhat weird and embarrassed expression: "It's nothing, it's nothing, it's a fool." With that, he turned away, still with that complicated smile on his face.

When Juanzi saw him turn away, she muttered to herself behind her, "Sneaky, I don't think there's anything good to hold back." ”

Shoko ignored her and walked straight to the stream under the ditch. His face and heart were filled with a wave of joy that only he could have known, that made him feel so happy.

There is a reason why Xiangzi laughed inexplicably, and it had to start a few years ago. Xiangzi was only thirteen years old when he came to Yao's house, and Juanzi was ten years old that year. It stands to reason that she should have bound her feet a long time ago, but Juanzi was afraid of pain and refused to let it, and the mother felt sorry for her daughter, and always wanted to wait until she was older, but she was ten years old in a flash, and it would be too late if she didn't wrap it again. So, he was ruthless and wrapped his feet in Juanzi, and every time Juanzi would howl like a pig, and on the kang, like a carp on a dry beach, rolling.

I don't know how the ancestors came up with such a way to torture women. The foot wrapping is to press the other four fingers except the big mother finger on the center of the foot to varying degrees, and the pain can be imagined.

Every time she wrapped Juanzi, she died in pain, and her mother was also sweat and tears. And, every time, it was done with the help of the next-door neighbor and Aunt Zhang.

Juanzi has made enough trouble on the kang, and her feet may be numb, and she is no longer so painful. sat up, wiped her tears and taught Xiangzi to carry her out to play. At this time, Juanzi Niang seemed to be relieved, and hurriedly leaned on the door and shouted Xiangzi, and Xiangzi would put down the work in his hand and run over in a hurry.

Xiangzi carried Juanzi on his back, and every time he would come to the small river on the street, and carefully put Juanzi on the big bluestone. I couldn't wait, untied Juanzi's footcloth, and gently rubbed my little feet, which were already a little red and swollen. Juanzi's feet were soft and fleshy, as if the bones were far away, or there were no bones at all.

At this time, Juanzi would be so comfortable that she would sip her mouth and sometimes hum a nice children's rhyme. And at this time, Xiangzi was also immersed in an inexplicable pleasure. Among them, in addition to Juanzi's laughter, there is also the soft and smooth flesh that the little feet passed on to him.

Juanzi's feet didn't hurt anymore, so Xiangzi took her to touch the small fish by the river to play, the two had enough, and Xiangzi wrapped Juanzi's feet as they were, but the outside looked like it, and the inside feet were still stretched comfortably.

After such a period of time, Juanzi's mother saw that Juanzi's feet could not be wrapped, so she simply did not wrap them. Although he said in his mouth, the girl who put his feet was not our family, so he didn't believe that no one wanted big feet. Actually, I don't want my daughter to suffer that sin.

Since then, Xiangzi has never had a chance, and when he saw Juanzi's bare feet, he was even more blessed to touch it with his own hands. Eight years have passed, and Juanzi took off her shoes in front of Xiangzi just now, although the action was natural and the time was very short, but Xiangzi stared at it carefully.

The cicada-wing-like stockings did not cover the delicate and beautiful lines, but made her even more charming. Xiangzi couldn't help laughing, because he saw that Juanzi's feet were no different from ordinary people, and he couldn't see any traces of being wrapped at all. And, it's still the same as when I was a child, the appearance of flesh.

Xiangzi came to the stream with great pleasure and took a closer look, and in the gentle place of the stream, there was a small black and gray fish, swimming like a shadow in the clear water.

Shoko suddenly felt that the muscles all over her body were excited. He quickly took off his shoes, pulled his trouser legs up to his knees, took off his long-sleeved and short-sleeved gown, and hurriedly went into the water. He first dug a small pit in a piece of waterless fine sand, and after a while, cool water gradually seeped out of the pit, forming a natural basin of its own. Then, in front of an inlet with many small fish, a small dam was blocked with sand, and the small stream was diverted. In this way, the water in the bend of the stream gradually dried up, and only a shallow pool of water in the center remained, trapping a group of small fish who did not know what to worry about.

Just as Shoko was proud of his project, suddenly a fist-sized stone fell from the stream beside him. The splash of water sprayed onto Shoko's body and face. Xiangzi knew that it was Juanzi who came, and he didn't turn around, but pointed to the creek with some excitement and shouted, "There are small fish in it." ”

Juanzi rushed behind Shoko like a smoke, craned her neck to glance at it, and without answering, she turned around and flew towards the small dirt slope overgrown with green grass and flew over like a butterfly.

After a while, Shoko heard a rustling sound behind him. He turned his head to look and saw that Juanzi was half-bent on her waist, and her feet seemed to have thorns on them, slowly moving towards this side. When he arrived, Xiangzi was stunned.

It turned out that Juanzi was going to take off her shoes and socks. When he came back, his bare feet were rooted in gravel grass and he didn't dare to walk fast, but he made a rare beauty.

To be honest, she has grown so big that she has never rolled up her trouser legs in front of a man. Ignoring Xiangzi's stiff gaze, he stared at himself stubbornly, and like a little pig that had been dry for a long time, he happily ran to the small water inlet.

Like when she was a child, she stared intently at a small fish floating in shallow water, and her hands were closed like two spoons, and the small fish was trapped in the palm of her hand. She excitedly yelled at Xiangzi, "Catch it! Catch it! Where do you put it? ”

Seeing that Xiangzi was still stunned to look at his feet, he raised his feet angrily, and with a white light, a beam of cold water droplets sprayed on Xiangzi's face. Xiangzi suddenly snorted, and hurriedly pointed with an embarrassed expression, and said in a small puddle in front of him: "There, there." ”

Juanzi walked in front of Xiangzi with her hands on her waist, and a pair of white feet flashed vividly in front of his eyes. Then, he threw two more pieces to Xiangzi, and the calves were as white as tender lotus roots.

Juanzi put the fish she caught in a small puddle, and rushed to catch another one. Running back and forth like this, I feel like I'm back in my childhood. That kind of focus and dedication, as if she is the only one in the world at this time, and she dissolves into this beautiful world without reservation.

Happy times are always like having wings, and before you know it, you have flown far away. In the blink of an eye, the shadow of the western mountain peak had quietly pressed over, dyeing half of the valley with a layer of gray color. At the same time, with a fresh breeze, the valley suddenly seemed cool.

At this time, Juanzi was squatting on the edge of the small puddle, pointing and poking and playing with the small fish, and her face was full of childhood smiles.

Shoko really couldn't bear to interrupt her rare childlike interest, but she was afraid that she would catch a cold. In the end, I couldn't help muttering: "It's not early, don't be cold." ”

Juanzi was obedient this time, she slowly stood up, lazily bent her waist back, and went to the stream to rinse her soaked white feet.

Like when she was a child, Shoko reverted the stream to its original state and fished the fish from the small puddle back into the living water. Because the small puddle will slowly be buried by the quicksand, and the fish will dry up and die in it.

Xiangzi cleaned up, turned his head to look at Juanzi, and saw her standing quietly on top of a clean green sand, looking at herself a little strangely. Xiangzi was slightly stunned for a moment, and snorted, "Let's go?" ”

Juanzi didn't reply, just raised her hands forward high, as if she was about to fly. Shoko looked at her suspiciously, and her body froze in place. Juanzi twisted her body in disgust, and looked at Shoko eagerly and shyly. Xiangzi suddenly understood that this was Juanzi who wanted him to carry it on his back, and it was like this when he was a child.

Shoko hesitantly took two steps towards her, eager and hesitant in her heart. The fervent contradiction burned his face red, and his body stiffened.

Seeing his awkward appearance, Juanzi twisted his body impatiently, like a command and more like an encouragement, and his eyes radiated a light of pleasure and earnestness.

Shoko took a deep breath and slowly leaned over her clumsy back.

The soothing slopes are overgrown with green and dwarf grass. Shoko carried Juanzi on his back and slowly walked towards the top of the slope. Shoko was trying to find the feeling of being a child, but that feeling was blurred without a trace. But the feeling now is completely new, something he has never felt before. The scorching heat in comfort, the pleasure in tension, and the heartbeat that is not tired......

The two lumps of squeezing on his back alone, the soft things, made him feel uncomfortable. As if his heart was about to melt, the boiling heat spread rapidly, making his breathing gradually thicken.

In fact, he had already seen Juanzi's shoes, which were placed on the big bluestone not far away. But he deliberately made a big detour, he wanted this feeling of being melted in body and mind to stay on himself a little longer, a little longer.

Just when that strong feeling gradually changed from restless heat to warm comfort, Xiangzi clearly felt that Juanzi had put her head on her shoulder softly.

With the faint fragrance of orchids, a few playful hairs happily harassed his neck and cheeks, and an unbearable itch, like a stream of pressed tung oil, sprayed on the flame that had just been extinguished. In an instant, a fainting pleasure rose up, tumbling from the abdomen and spreading upwards. Finally, he choked softly in his throat, making him breathless.

Xiangzi finally put Juanzi on the big bluestone softly, and his wheezing body was still frozen there like a bow. At this time, I heard Juanzi say in a lazy voice: "Oh, I'm so tired, I'm asleep." ”

Xiangzi pulled up the placket of her shirt and wiped the sweat on her face, peeked at Juanzi, and saw that she was patting the sand on her feet with her hand, preparing to put on her socks. Although there is no sunlight, the two white legs still exude a silver light. Shoko's face was hot, and she turned in the direction of the mountain gate and walked slowly.

At this time, the sun had lazily rolled down on the other side of the mountain, leaving only a few golden rays of light, casting a beautiful ribbon on the eastern peak. The ribbon gradually moved towards the summit, and in the blink of an eye, it had crossed the summit and disappeared without a trace.

The quiet valley was suddenly shrouded in darkness. At this time, the pine trees on the western cliff were also hazy into black patches. Looking back at the sky, only a thin wisp of amorous clouds hanging on the top of the west peak still stubbornly retains some charming colors.
