Chapter 25: Night Talk I
The courtyard is as desolate as a haunted house, and after a day of tossing, it finally has a bit of fireworks, and it can barely live in people. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 Although due to the fact that no one has moved in for a long time, snakes, insects, rats and ants are inevitably present, and the windows and other places are also damaged, but it is always the courtyard of the young master of a large family, and the foundation is far better than the thatched house of the Fan family. The most important thing is that this small courtyard belongs to Guangzhou, and from the beginning of moving in, half a foot has already stepped out of the mountain village.
Fan Jin was lying on the bed, and there was only one thought that was circling repeatedly in his mind: he had finally entered the city. When you enter the city, don't go back easily, but establish yourself in the city no matter what, and then bring your mother in and live a good life. Think about the third sister Liang who went to buy food, as long as she won the fame again, she could be counted as a complete merit, and then she could enjoy the glory and wealth with peace of mind.
The stove in the house was still usable, but there was no cooking utensils, so I had to buy and eat outside. Liang Pandi's movements were very neat, and just as Fan Jin was sketching a blueprint for a better life in the future, a burst of the aroma of food came to his nose. Before Fan Jin could open his eyes, his leg was kicked first.
"Get up to eat, then study. There are still a few days before the county exam, and those who study are studying hard, and you are no exception. Even if you have a good brain, you have to work hard, hundreds of children compete for places, and you are not allowed to be lazy. ”
Liang Pandi was holding a wooden tray in his hand, and a large bowl of hot dog meat had been dipped in condiments, two pieces of cake, and a bowl of hot soup. The cake is made of mixed noodles, which is easier to swallow than the wheat noodles, and after Fan Jin ate a cake in three or two bites, he found that Liang Pandi had never moved his chopsticks.
"Third sister, why don't you eat?"
"I ...... I'll eat the dry food you brought. Auntie is really, I gave her those meats to ask her to eat, but she didn't eat them herself, so I brought them to you. It's too hot, and if you don't eat it, the meat will spoil, which is a pity. Everything is expensive in this city, and as far as this dog meat is concerned, it is much more unpalatable than outside our city, but the price is several times more expensive, which is really a profiteer. You eat first, don't worry about me, the third sister is such an adult, she won't let herself go hungry. You have to eat and drink a lot and take care of your body before you can go to the exam. Wait until you take the test and come back, and our whole village will have face. I heard my brother-in-law say that in this place in Guangdong, as long as you are a talent, it is not difficult to lift people. What's more, this year's test Xiucai may be easier than in previous years, and the other provinces are not as peaceful as ours here, either making trouble with pirates, or making trouble with Luoshan Barbarians, there is a man called the Wing King, who takes people to kill people and set fires, and even the city is not peaceful. If there are fewer scholars rushing to take the exam, there will be fewer people competing with you for places, and if you seize the opportunity to pass the exam, you will have a good life. ”
Fan Jin put down the cake and pushed the bowl in front of Liang Pandi, "I've eaten well, I can't eat anymore, third sister, come and eat." Like you said, it's too hot, and if you don't eat it, it's a pity. ”
He looked at Liang Pandi with two eyes, and his heart beat wildly when he saw the latter, and the ridiculous thought of the day rose in his mind again. didn't dare to disobey Fan Jin's intentions, so he ate the rest of the things in one go, and thought while eating: "This chopstick is what he used...... We were using a pair of chopsticks ......"
After eating, Liang Pandi ran out to fetch water again, and the dead man in the well had actually been fished out a long time ago, but the legend was that it was haunted, and no one dared to move the stone slab on it. Fortunately, there is a shop selling water at the corner of the street, and you can boil a pot of boiling water for only a few dollars. The tea leaves were crushed by her from a familiar tea house, the price was not expensive, and the taste was not bad.
When the tea was brewed, the sun had already set, and Fan Jin asked, "Third sister, aren't you afraid of ghosts?" What, not in a hurry to go? ”
"I ...... It's not easy to leave you alone in this haunted house, what if you go out recklessly at night and bump into a ghost? The two of us, the yang energy is stronger, maybe the ghost won't dare to come. ”
The candles had been lit, and the light of the two candles was flickering, illuminating her face a little pale, her lips were tightly closed, her hands were clenched into fists, and she could smash a phoenix eye fist at any time, and she could see that she was extremely scared in her heart. Fan Jin smiled: "Third sister, you treat me so well." The ancients said that the red sleeves add incense to read at night, and with you with me, this book will have a spirit when you read it. ”
"Don't ...... Don't talk nonsense. It's not fun to hear. "The new environment, lonely men and widows, Liang Pandi was nervous, but there was a hint of joy in his heart. At least here, there is no neighbor's gaze, no Aunt Fan who guards herself like a thief, and Sister Hu who sees herself as a fox spirit. There was only Fan Jin around, thinking about the way the two of them cleaned up the room during the day, she only felt a strange sweetness in her heart, like drinking a few glasses of soju in a row, which made her whole body dizzy.
"Red sleeves add fragrance...... I knew that I would have found a red dress to wear. Now this dress is not red, there is no fragrance, killing dogs every day, except for the fishy smell on the body, it is the smell of dog meat, and it smells bad to death. ”
"Who said that? I don't believe it, let me smell it, whether it smells good or not. Fan Jin smiled and leaned his head over, but was pushed away by Liang Pandi with a red face. Good students are not allowed to move. You're an adult, not the kid in the village in the past, you have to be a little measured. Sister, this house is for you to live in, you can read to your sister, and it should be paid for rent. Sister likes to listen to you read, so you can read it, and you are not allowed to talk nonsense. ”
Fan Jin picked up the book and read it aloud, Liang Pandi held his chin with both hands, and watched Fan Jin's mouth open and close slightly. She didn't actually understand what the boy was reading, but she felt that when she saw his face, she felt inexplicably at peace.
When she was in the village, learning to read and write with Fan Jin, and learning those strange truths, her heart was actually full of this teenager. Knowing that the age difference between the two is close to ten years, and the other party is even just a big child, this kind of relationship is destined not to be accepted, but he is still stuck in the mud and can't extricate himself.
In the past, Fan Jin was not outstanding in the village, although he read, he was very wooden, neither good at communicating, nor knew how to behave in the world. In Liang Pandi's opinion, most of such children will become nerds, and the best ending is nothing more than to be a private school teacher. When you grow up, you must be rigid and boring, so you don't want to have any contact with him. It wasn't until Fan Jin took the initiative to stand up for her and help her reason that Liang Pandi realized that he had been misjudging him.
She adored the boy and adored him from the bottom of her heart. It's a little ridiculous, she's almost ten years older than this boy, and she has a lot of kung fu, but in front of this boy, she feels like a child. Childish and ignorant, not understanding anything.
Scholars are different, they know so much knowledge and so many truths when they are not young. More importantly, he was willing to teach these things to himself, rather than despising or hostile to him like the rest of the village. She enjoys the process of learning every day, enjoys the professors of the other party, and enjoys every minute of time the two get along.
The patriarchal father, in addition to teaching martial arts, was beaten and scolded, and continued to be beaten after getting married, until she was in a relationship with Fan Jin, she really felt the joy and preciousness of life. A few times, she even thought about desperately fulfilling her wishes, but after all, she used reason to suppress that crazy thought.
She knew that the two of them were destined to belong to two worlds, and they shouldn't go together, that would only hurt this good boy, and she couldn't do it. The reason why he agreed to leave the village was not because he had the idea of waving his sword and breaking the thread, and the hug outside the village was of course thinking about breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat, but he also wanted to break this thought and fate cleanly.
worked hard in Guangzhou and was busy with business every day, so she had no time to think about this man, coupled with Fan's mother's determination, it also made her heart gradually cool. thought that all this was over, but it wasn't until the moment of reunion that she realized that she was just hiding her thoughts instead of erasing them. Once reunited, it is like a wildfire, unstoppable!
There was a sound of beating in the distance, two o'clock, and the day had passed the second watch. Fan Jin saw that Liang Pandi's eyelids couldn't help touching each other, so he put down the book and said, "Third sister, it's not early, let's sleep." ”
"Ah...... Are you sleepy? Okay, sister, I'll make your bed, and I'll call you tomorrow morning. ”
"Sister, are you leaving?"
"Yes, you're going to sleep, so my sister will naturally have to leave."
"The city gates are closed, where else can my sister go? Besides, aren't you afraid that the ghost will fall for me? You...... Stay. With you, I'm not afraid of anything. ”
Liang Pandi seemed to have been stung by a scorpion, jumped up suddenly, took half a step back, and scolded: "Jinzai, what nonsense are you talking about!" Sister is here to accompany you to study, don't think of going to a crooked place. We...... How can we live together as lonely men and widows? It doesn't matter if the city gate is closed, I will go to my second sister's house to spend the night, or find a place to sleep, in short, I won't stay. Don't be cranky, go to bed. ”
Fan Jin said: "I'm not thinking nonsense, it's hot now, my sister can sleep in bed, I'll just sleep on the ground." I brought a futon so that I could lay it on the floor. Let my sister go back alone so late, I don't worry, if you refuse to stay, then I will accompany you until you find a place to live. ”
Liang Pandi's face turned red, and after hesitating for a long time, Ai Ai said, "Then or ...... Shall we all not sleep, just sit and talk until dawn? But you have to promise my sister not to think about it anymore. ”
