Chapter 440: Ten Years Later
Flowers bloom and fall,
Autumn goes and spring comes.
In the blink of an eye, ten years have passed.
Ten years later, in September.
In a simple pergola made of bamboo by the pond at the entrance of Zhaoxi Village, Yuhang County, two small figures sat in the shady corner of the pergola, leaning on the relatively cool bamboo wall.
This pergola is on the edge of a pond at the entrance of the village, because there are many mosquitoes next to the water's edge, and this pergola has been useless for many years, so almost no one goes there to rest. The two little girls in the pergola lay there, and in the middle of the pergola lit a scent of smoked mosquitoes, which was different from the general mosquito scent, not that stuffy fragrance, but emitted this faint fragrance, and the mosquitoes could not approach.
Both of them closed their eyes and neither spoke, and beside them lay two bamboo baskets with sickles and a few vines. At this time, a breeze blows, and the lotus leaves in the pond are like blue waves from far to near, making people feel cool in an instant.
"Oh mama! Finally, there was a bit of a cool breeze, and this place was more comfortable than the big walnut tree in the village, and I didn't have to worry about falling off the tree if I fell asleep. A little girl wearing a floral cloth dress with two pigtails holding a lotus leaf in one hand to half-cover her face, and holding a bamboo fan in the other hand kept fanning, as if it was already hot, and when she spoke, one eye opened and looked at a woman who was the same age as herself wearing a blue dress, but this skirt was obviously a little small. And it's very old.
"Huh!" With just one voice, the girl on the side answered her and stopped talking.
"Didn't you sleep well again last night? Did your aunt and uncle make you grind tofu until midnight? When will I go and clean her up! The little girl said hatefully, and simply put the lotus leaf on her head, and her eyes were opened, and her face showed an angry expression.
"Alas! I said raindrops, why are you talking so much today, let me sleep for a while, and my aunt should call me back to cook and take care of the children at the entrance of the village in a while! "Finished. The little girl yawned with her hand over her mouth, but her eyes never opened.
The girl called Yudi probably didn't want to sleep anymore, and only Fang Jinyan next to her could sleep on such a hot day. So he sat up straight, poked Xiao Yan's arm on his thigh with his elbow, and said, "Xiao Yan, or you just run away from home." Follow me and Yun Duo to the mountains to find my grandfather. Good no good? Didn't you want to eat my grandfather's wild vegetable buns? She knew that as long as it was time to eat, Fang Jinyan was naturally interested in talking to herself.
Fang Jinyan muttered something in his mouth, turned around and continued to sleep, the rain was urgent, and he punched Xiao Yan in the shoulder.
"Ouch! You're trying to kill me, you've forgotten that your fist is different from ordinary people's fists, really...... Where is it like a girl's house, she uses her fists at every turn. I really don't know why grandpa asked Yunduo to study medicine and let you learn fist and foot kung fu, you look so delicate. Only then did I know that it was not a woman, but a man! God must have let you take a nap when you were reincarnated, and your personality is completely a man, but how did you give birth to a daughter, tsk ......! As he spoke, he finally reluctantly opened his eyes, glared at the raindrops, sat up, and looked at the raindrops with a sleepy and complaining expression.
Yudi was not angry, he rubbed Xiao Yan's side with a smile, gently rubbed the place where he had hit just now with his hand, and said with a thick face: "I didn't mean to, in fact, I also exercised you, you see that you have been learning boxing and kicking with me for three years, why can't you stand such a light punch?" ”
Fang Jinyan pursed her lips disdainfully, a pair of big eyes swept over Yudi's delicate face with a mocking smile, hehe twice, and lay on the ground again, this time her limbs were fully opened, lying in a large shape, looking very comfortable and comfortable.
"What's your expression?! I know what you mean, huh! You yourself are no better, but the daughter of a dignified third-class member is lying in a country pergola thousands of miles away, what kind of body is it that looks up and is full of forks?! Raindrop laughed and sneered.
There was a touch of coldness in Fang Jinyan's eyes, but it flashed, and then he smiled indifferently, as if he was not talking about himself, but he didn't take the rain, and closed his eyes gently. She doesn't get angry with the raindrops, and she never hides this fact, which used to be cruel to her, so that she can't look up in this small village, and she's ashamed to say it, but later, when she got to know the raindrops and the clouds and their grandfather, who said something to her, she was relieved and let go, and from then on she used this fact as a joke with the raindrops after tea and dinner to please each other.
Of course, Yudian naturally didn't know that what she said with her big grinning personality sometimes would still touch the younger sister who was younger than herself, but Fang Jinyan didn't care, she even had a gratitude to Yudi, because except for her aunt who would deliberately viciously slander this thirteen-year-old girl from time to time, others tried not to mention it in front of her, just for fear that she would be sad.
However, sometimes she is really afraid that after a long time, if the people in the capital do not come to pick her up, or even send someone to visit her, she will forget that she is the fourth lady who is discarded by the family, and she will forget the hatred and the life of hell-like misery brought to her by this family.
Seeing that Fang Jinyan didn't speak, Yudian thought that she was asleep again, never thought that she was a little stimulated in her heart because of her own words, and didn't want to talk to herself.
She has been in this village for seven years, she has always been so forbearing, so forbearance, so calm, so bitter as pleasure, even if she was beaten by her own aunt and uncle every day, as long as she said two jokes, she was happy again, and she didn't see her crying, even if she was rescued from the thorn under the cliff back then, Fang Jinyan was unconscious at that time, her body was full of injuries, her clothes were all soaked with blood, and her body was full of thorns, like a hedgehog, But she only hummed softly as they drugged them and pulled out the thorns, and there was no trace of pain on her pretty face, only her eyebrows furrowed, and her teeth bit her lower lip.
Yudi can't forget the expression of his grandfather looking at Fang Jinyan at that time, and what he said, this child's mind is too deep! Is it? I don't know about the raindrops, anyway, when she was with Yunduo, Fang Jinyan was a little girl with a faint smile on her face all day, except for thinking about her stomach, she was looking for every opportunity to sleep. I won't practice with myself well, and I won't recognize herbs with Yunduo well.
Of course, maybe her time is to sleep in addition to thinking about food and clothing, and the rest of the time is to work endlessly for her aunt, thinking of this, the rain can't help but look at the face in front of her, although she is tired, but a face that is not covered with fat powder, white as pale pink hibiscus petals, the willow eyebrows are curved, the black eyes are like autumn water, under the small nose is the red cherry lips, a long black and bright hair is simply tied with two braids and combed and then pulled into a twisted bun at the back of the head, and a little hair between the temples is attached to the forehead and cheeks, It adds a bit of cuteness to the look.
"Then you sleep, I'm leaving!" Seeing that Fang Jinyan still didn't care about herself, and even the sound of gentle and even breathing came out, she deliberately spoke, and even wanted to stand up, touching the bamboo basket on the side and deliberately making some movement.
Sure enough, Fang Jinyan immediately opened his eyes, Yudi knew that his trick had succeeded, and smiled at Fang Jinyan playfully, a pair of little tiger teeth were exposed, and his eyes were blinking at Fang Jinyan, very proud.
Fang Jinyan couldn't help but sigh, she sat up helplessly, stretched her waist for a long time, covered her small mouth and yawned, glared at Yuxiao, and said: "I hate it, there is nothing more annoying than you, my aunt didn't let me sleep last night, I thought you called me out under the guise of grandpa to make up for my sleep, it turned out to be ...... Oh, my God! Why is our Jinyan's life so bitter! ”
How did Yudi know that Fang Jinyan really didn't close his eyes all night, hearing her say this, he felt that he was too much, so he hurriedly accompanied him carefully, stepped forward, and said with a smile on his face: "Ouch! My aunt, I really don't know, if you don't go back and follow me and the clouds up the mountain for a few days and then come back, the old sow always doesn't dare to say anything in front of grandpa, go back and tell grandpa, at least let you go up the mountain and sleep well. ”
When Fang Jinyan heard this, a pair of big eyes suddenly flickered and stared at the raindrop, the raindrop looked at Fang Jinyan's shining eyes, sighed, patted her shoulder, and said: "Look at your little bit of breath, as if eating and sleeping is the most important thing for you Fang Jinyan in this world, get up, let's go collect medicine for Yunduo first, and then go to find grandpa." ”
Fang Jinyan grinned twice, jumped up happily, the raindrops were very surprised, looked at Fang Jinyan's soft and agile body like a loach, and said, "Haven't you always been able to get up like this?" How to ......"
Fang Jinyan casually took one of the bamboo baskets on the ground and put it on his thin shoulder, patted the dust on his body at the stunned raindrops, blinked his eyes, and said: "It's not you who said it, what I like most is the word eating and sleeping, since I have grandpa's wild vegetable buns and undisturbed dreams waiting for me, I have my own motivation!" ”
After Fang Jinyan finished speaking, she slapped Yudi's buttocks, and before she could react, she had walked out of the pergola quickly! (To be continued......)
PS: Ten years later, it's time to give a monthly pass.
