Chapter 21: Meet the Little One
"Hey! Hello! Zhao Lan blurted out without thinking.
Turning around and looking up, there was a little boy next to a small tree behind him. It was a thin little boy of about five or six years old, with clear eyebrows, a white face, big watery eyes, a collapsed nose, and small red lips. The corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, and a cute little dimple appeared on the left, and he was looking at Zhao Lan with a smile. What a cute little guy! Although the little guy is small, he carries a small basket behind him, and most of the basket is filled with plants.
"Sister Lan, are you going up the mountain to play?" Looking at Zhao Lan and looking at him, the little guy actually knew to take the initiative to find words.
Although he is a little guy, but he is a good-looking and polite child, Zhao Lan is still very happy to talk to him: "Uh! No. I went up the hill to see what herbs were available and if I could pick some and sell them. ”
The little guy asked innocently: "Sister Lan, you must have picked a lot!"
Zhao Lan and the little guy stared at each other. You little brat, don't open your mouth if you don't ask, okay? I just wanted to talk to you well, but you couldn't make my sister's face down.
Zhao Lan reluctantly said: "Sister didn't pick it!" I don't know where the herbs have gone. ”
The little guy said, "The herbs didn't run, and the herbs were all hiding at the top of the mountain, in the innermost part." There are a lot of people here, and the herbs are probably hiding, and they want to go inside, as my father told me, and the birds and rabbits are hiding. ”
"Who is your father?" Zhao Lan asked curiously. This dad is quite childlike!
"My father's name is Stone, and in the back, I will go to the brook first to wash the wild fruits." The little guy pointed behind him with his little fat fingers.
"What are you doing up the mountain? Sister will help you wash the fruit. "I probably can't pick the herbs, but I picked a cutie. Zhao Lan stretched out her hand and took the yellow crystal clear fruit in her little hand. The stream was clear and a bit cool.
The little cutie said milkily behind her: "I went up to the mountains with my father to hunt, and my father was amazing, and he hunted a big gray rabbit and two beautiful pheasants."
"That's amazing." Zhao Lan washed the fruit and handed it to the little guy.
The little guy said while eating: "Today, I don't hunt much, in the past, my father could hunt roe deer, and the roe deer meat is delicious." But the little gray rabbit is very cute, my father said that the little gray rabbit is not for sale, and he keeps it to play with me. ”
Good trend, good avant-garde thinking, we all know to have pets.
"The little rabbit is so cute, and my sister loves it too." There are many trees in the mountains, the air in the mountains is fresh, and the temperature is cool, so you don't want to go out when you enter the mountains. The stream in the mountain is very clear and cool, the aquatic plants in the stream are clearly visible, and the small fish and shrimp are shuttling between the aquatic plants and the cracks of the stones, as if they are playing hide and seek. Zhao Lan couldn't help squatting on the stones in the stream, like when she was a child, her hand reached into the water, picked up the water, splashed into the distance, and the stream that was splashed out, after the refraction of the sun, emitted colorful colors, as beautiful as a rainbow.
Zhao Lan was interested in splashing water, and the little guy on the side seemed to think that splashing water was very interesting, and came to a half-sized stone, which could only accommodate his two little feet. The little guy also learns from Zhao Lan, the little hand reaches into the creek enough for the stream, but unfortunately the arm is not long enough, and he can only get a little bit of water at a time.
Zhao Lan looked at the little guy's hard work to get enough water, pointed to a big stone beside him, and suggested: "Come up to this big stone, this stone is flat, and next to the water, and the stream below is also shallow, so it's okay to fall down."
The little guy moved his arms and legs to the ground carefully, "Hmm! In the summer, I all stood on the rocks in the river and played. ”
Zhao Lan carefully held his arm and asked him to stand firmly: "It's okay in summer, but the weather is not so hot now, you still have to be careful not to fall into the water, otherwise you will catch a cold if you get cold."
"What's a cold?" The little one asked curiously.
Zhao Lan explained: "A cold means to be sick."
The little guy asked with a look of sudden realization, "Sick?" When you catch a cold, you get sick. Then did my mother die of illness because of a cold? ”
"Ahh
Your mother, I don't know! Who says you get dead when you get cold? That's right, this is ancient times, in ancient times, many people caught a cold and hung up without going to the doctor. I don't rule out the possibility of this! Ancient times were really a terrifying place, and it was really possible to have a minor illness and finish the fun.
Although Zhao Lan looked at the five or six-year-old buns in front of her, she didn't know where her thoughts had gone.
The little guy came over, pulled Zhao Lan's arm and continued to ask, "Sister, did you say yes!"
How can this Zhao Lan know, I haven't figured out who your mother is yet, how can I know how she died. Zhao Lan had no choice but to explain in a soft tone: "I don't know about this, I have to ask Lang Zhong." However, since he is already dead, it doesn't matter what kind of illness he died. "Death is dead, how to die is nothing to pursue.
The little guy bowed his head pitifully and said, "They said I killed my mother."
Who is so vicious, tell a child about this. Zhao Lan cursed in her heart, but comforted the little guy on her lips: "It's impossible to pull, you see that you are only so little, you can't even beat me, how can you kill your mother, because your mother gave birth to such an excellent child as you, the Jade Emperor rewarded her to be a fairy in the sky."
When the little guy heard this, he suddenly raised his head and asked puzzledly, "Have you become a fairy?" Is it the Seven Fairies? ”
Zhao Lan hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, yes, Seven Fairies." It's beautiful! In heaven. ”
Hey, I've never made up such nonsense. It's a tiring thing to make it up! That's uneasy!
"Ahem, ahem."
Two deliberate coughs came from behind, and Zhao Lan was really happy. This cough came at a really good time, it was really my savior, and I was embarrassed to make up the stories. Zhao Lan hurriedly turned to look at the voice.
I saw a tall man with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, dressed in brown coarse cloth, standing under an umbrella-like pine tree. Its skin is slightly dark, its Chinese face, its sword eyebrows are in the sideburns, its thick eyebrows are a pair of deep eyes, its nose is straight and its mouth is straight, and a masculine aura is coming from the surface. It's majestic!
The man carried a basket behind him, a bow on his shoulder, two pheasants in one hand, and a large bundle of lumber in the other. The man shouted in a loud voice, "Siqi."
The little guy next to him shouted loudly to his father, stood up, and jumped at his father.
This is the father of the little bun, it won't be so coincidental to hear what he said earlier! Where did you start listening?
Zhao Lan could only pretend to be dead and look at the sky. I didn't speak, I didn't speak, I didn't make up stories.
The little guy looked up at his tall father and said happily, "Dad, my sister said that my mother went to heaven to be a fairy, seven fairies."
It's really a pot that can't be opened. Zhao Lan comforted herself and said, I didn't say it, I didn't hear it.
"Well, Dad knows," the bell sounded again, and there was a hint of tenderness in his voice, "Thank you Lan Guliang." ”
"No thanks! You don't think you heard it! Zhao Lan said haha.
The tall stone, yes, the little guy's father called the stone, the stone put down the thing and thanked Zhao Lan: "I still want to thank Guliang for enlightening my boy."
Zhao Lan also learned from the stone and said, "No thanks." Before Zhao Lan could figure out what to do with Gu Li, he heard the little guy excitedly tell his father: "Dad, Sister Lan, it's so stupid, she actually went to the creek to find herbs." As a result, none of them were found. ”
"Don't talk nonsense." Stone scolded.
After the stone scolded the little guy, he said to Zhao Lan: "There are basically no herbs by this stream, the expensive herbs are in the deep mountains, you can't go, it's dangerous." Walking further up the mountainside, there are also herbs, but they are all ordinary herbs and cannot be sold at a price. Although it can't be sold at a high price, it can also be subsidized by picking more. The next time you come, you can go up a little along the big rock, and there is a crooked neck tree not too far, and there is a small path a few steps in front of the crooked neck tree, and the path is not easy to walk, not that the mountain road is steep, but that there are too many branches and branches to walk. However, it's not easy to get lost along the trail. There are some herbs over there that you can check out. ”
"Oh!" Zhao Lan was confused when she heard it, and even told me where the herbs were, so generous! I picked it, what did you pick? Look at my head, people are hunting, where can I see this ordinary herb.
I followed the stone all the way down the mountain, and the stone didn't say much except to tell where there were herbs, but the little guy talked all the way, and he was a little doll who loved to talk.
When Zhao Lan returned home, she found that Lang Zhong, who had saved Liu'er in the morning, was sitting under the pomegranate tree in the yard. The medicine box rests on a stone table.
"Mother." Zhao Lan shouted in surprise to Zhao Shen, who was unsettled in the courtyard.
"Whoa! Well! Zhao Shen hurriedly walked towards Zhao Lan at the door, pulled Zhao Lan to the side of the door and asked in a low voice, "In the morning, you saved Liu'er?" ”
"It was Zhao Xiaoming who saved it!" Zhao Lan was puzzled and replied to Zhao Shen's question. I can swim, but Liu Er didn't give me a chance, so I was rescued by Zhao Xiaoming!
Zhao Shen's expression was not relaxed when he heard this, and he still asked nervously: "Didn't you rescue her from the river, it was at her house, and you said that you took water for her?"
Zhao Shen was very anxious and worried, and said, "Lang Zhong is here, saying that he wants to ask you how to wake up Liu'er." ”
Zhao Lan was surprised: "How can I have that ability, Liu Er just drank too much water and choked again, but it's actually nothing."
Zhao Shen was puzzled when he heard this: "Really?" If Lang Zhong wants to ask you, you will tell the truth! I've been here for a while, and I don't leave, saying I'm waiting for you to come back. ”
"Well, I must tell the truth, I can't save it if I want to!" Zhao Lan said.
"Jin Langzhong, this is my aunt Liang." Jin Langzhong saw that the mother and daughter were whispering far away from him, and he was not curious or disturbed, only waiting for Zhao Shen to come over and call him, he greeted him and said: "I am Jin Langzhong, the Langzhong who treated Liu'er, I want to ask you if I have any questions." I also hope that Gu Liang can give a certain solution. ”
