Chapter 65: The Lantern
Although the two walked in one direction, they didn't say a word, and they always maintained a distance of one zhang away from each other, tossing and turning on the street to find the sky and not be afraid of the three of them.
"Ouch!" Hua Hate Liu was walking in his mind, and he didn't expect Yang Jian to stop at all, and when he reacted, he couldn't dodge, knocking Yang Jian into a stumbling and almost falling out.
"You!" As soon as Yang Jian stabilized his figure, he turned his face and was about to get angry, but he saw that Hua Hate Liu was also looking at him with an annoyed expression.
"What are you stopping [to get so close]?" Almost at the same time, the two opened their mouths to question each other. After a brief moment of surprise, they each spoke:
"It's clear that you blocked (hit) me!"
was shocked again, and Yang Jian was even more angry: It's just that the two of them have their own reasons, why do they have to say it together? was quiet in his heart, and when he saw that Hua Hate Liu was also full of shock, another burst of anger was about to flutter up, and he immediately said: "Don't say it yet, let me finish!" ”
The effect this time is really better than the first two sentences, at least the meaning is not so similar. But Yang Jian was still not satisfied, just because when she said the words "Don't say it yet, let me finish", the eight words that Hua Hate Liu said came directly into her ears: I don't speak, you finish first!
She felt that she must have been fooled by Hua Hate Liu, you must know that the number of classics mastered by Si Chou Zhai is so huge that even if it is known as the world's library, it is probably not too much, and the person in front of her is still not afraid of the sky, who knows if he has learned any way to read people's hearts, and use it to make fun of himself at this time?
"You ......" opened his mouth and tried to spit out a word, but when he saw that the other party really didn't say anything again, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Why did you hit me?" ”
After saying this, Yang Jian regretted that her intestines were blue: This is not her style! It is said that if you are an ordinary self, at least at this time, you should first shout out a sentence "Where are you looking at your dog's eyes", and I will never ask such salty and indifferent words.
She regretted it, and Hua hated Liu was also surprised. He was ready to be troubled by Yang Jian, and he also prepared a few words in his heart to respond, but he didn't expect the other party to be so "gentle"! Could it be that if you change your clothes, your temper will also change?
"I ...... I was distracted. Yang Jian didn't take the initiative to provoke him, and he naturally wouldn't stroke Yang Jian's scales to death, and immediately explained in a low voice, and didn't forget to add politely at the end: "I'm really sorry!" ”
The two of them only said a few words, but they completed a stark contrast with the-for-tat situation just now, which also made Yang Jian can't help but think that when the two of them are present, whenever there is communication, it basically ends by roaring, relying on injuries (mostly flowers hate willows), and ending in a coma, and this scene should be the first time that the two of them have spoken calmly so far.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that I owe a lot of flowers and haters...... Thinking in her heart, she was sorry for the flower hating willow, and she couldn't help but look up at the man who still had her fingerprints on his face: He looks too weak!
Thinking of this, Yang Jian herself was slightly stunned: Why do I think this? What does it have to do with me whether he is weak or not? Even if you are as strong as your father, you still want to be busy with your so-called career, leaving your young self and your bedridden mother to worry all the time? Men's strength and weakness are only related to their own interests, and only by becoming stronger can they protect themselves.
"Mother-in-law! Pedantic! Maybe she needed to say something to dispel the gloomy feelings that suddenly came from her heart, she glared at Hua Hate Liu, and after thinking about it, there was really nothing to find fault with this attitude, so she had to drink a few words insincerely, and then turned around and continued to lead forward.
"Inexplicable......" Hua Hate Liu muttered as she watched Yang Jian turn around. He swept the burden in his hand, as if he could know whether there were few silver tickets, as if he could figure out the reason for Yang Jian's drastic change in attitude, and kept up with Yang Jian again.
It's just that the two of them have not walked far before they hear the sound of cries coming from in front of them, rising and falling, slowly moving from far to near intermittently. Yang Jian motioned to Hua Hate Liu to pay attention not to bump into it again, and walked two steps forward to see a girl wearing a brand-new red floral jacket, crying and looking around while walking on the street, and at a glance she knew that she was separated from her family.
In normal times, Yang Jian would definitely help when she encountered this kind of thing, but she was just looking for someone nearby to spend some money to lead the child to find it, but today is different - she suddenly remembered her mother who died of illness, and at the same time she was sad, she also regretted that she did not fully enjoy her mother's love, and at this time, when she saw the girl who couldn't find her family, she had the urge to help her find her family in person.
Hua Hate Liu has a different attitude towards this girl, he doesn't hate children, on the contrary, whether it is the son who has just been full moon in his own family during the Xi Dynasty or the fetus in the womb of the Qing girl who has not yet had time to see the light of day, he is considerate and loves it to the extreme-what he doubts at this time is that the girl in front of him is really as miserable and sad as crying?
He looked at the girl who was still crying: the upturned pigtails, the red cheeks, the big sparkling eyes; Brand new jackets, neatly trimmed and clean nails, and small hands holding the meat of sugar gourds...... If he is really separated from his family, then how can this child still be in the mood to eat sugar gourds? After confirming it again and again, Hua Hate Liu reluctantly found that the intermittent, high and low crying at that time was not the reason why the child ate sugar gourds!
And if he deliberately pretended to get away and ran to him, what could a child do?
"Little sister, don't cry, what's the name of the big sister?" Yang Jian didn't have time to think about it so much, at this moment her maternal love was overflowing, rushing, enslaving reason, squatting down to wipe the tears on the little girl's cheeks.
"I don't know." As soon as the girl saw Yang Jian, she was still crying on her face, but she suddenly became surprised: "My sister is so good-looking!" ”
There is nothing happier than being praised by a simple child, especially when a child praises himself for his good looks! Yang Jian was happy in her heart at this time, and was about to be modest with two sentences or the last sentence "Children know what is good to look at and not to look good", and saw that the girl suddenly became resentful, stared at Yang Jian fiercely, and said: "Good-looking women are fox spirits......
"You-" Yang Jian was so angry that he was angry but couldn't be angry with the child, and looked around and there was only one acquaintance in Hua Hate Liu, and immediately said: "Laugh!" What a laugh! Laugh again, I'll tear your face! ”
Hua hated Liu didn't laugh originally, and when she saw Yang Jian taking her anger out on herself, she pretended not to be herself, but then the little girl said "The fierce woman didn't even ask for it", and she really laughed out loud.
Hearing the laughter, the little girl realized that the person who was standing far away was also on the same road as the woman in front of her, and immediately said to Yang Jian after pondering for a while: "I'm sorry, I was wrong just now." ”
"If you know your mistakes, just change them!" Seeing the girl apologize, Yang Jian, who was still angry, turned to a smiling face and said: "It's a fox spirit that is really good-looking, but it's not necessarily a fox spirit that looks good." ”
When Hua Hate Liu heard this, she couldn't help but secretly slander herself: You directly admit that you are "good-looking", right?
"No, I apologize because someone still wants a woman with a fierce temper...... I was wrong! "The little girl does not take credit or compromise, she resolutely does not change what is right, and she never makes excuses when she is wrong.
"You...... You ......" After hearing this, Yang Jian was already so angry that she couldn't speak, pointing at the little girl and struggling for a long time, and finally succumbed to those eyes full of tears, fear and innocence.
"Here you go!" Viciously threw a word at Hua Hate Liu, Yang Jian pushed Hua Hate Liu out, but he stood back in his position.
Hua hated Liu and had no choice but to walk towards the girl who gnawed on the sugar gourd during the half-time break, and thought as she went: This girl is definitely compatible with the heavens - at least on eating the sugar gourd!
got closer and closer, but Hua Hate Liu didn't think about what to say in his heart - greeting and asking for his name Yang Jian had been used, and it turned out that it had no effect; Buying snacks? That feels like a trick used by bad guys...... Then you can only ask who is in the family, what it looks like, and where you live!
He was about to reach out to pat the little girl's head, but the little girl was looking up at him excitedly.
"Little sister, your family ......"
"Daddy!"
This shout is both crisp and contains seven points of grievance, just like a father and daughter who have not seen each other for many years after being separated, and now when the daughter's hard work has found her father, she is both happy and aggrieved, and wants to ask "Why did I wander alone for so many years", full of bitter drama and sensational scenes.
This sounds to the people around him, behind this "Dad", there should be such a drama, but Hua Hate Liu doesn't think like this - or at this time, his head is empty, and he has no ability to think about explaining things.
And Yang Jian's side, after hearing the little girl's crisp shout of "Dad", the first reaction was: He already has a wife?
However, when she saw Hua Hateliu's face that was even more shocked than herself, she breathed a sigh of relief: it seems that there was some misunderstanding in the middle......
In the blink of an eye, even Yang Jian himself didn't notice that his mind had been deflected because of the flower hating willow.
"You...... Can you see what I look like? Hua hated Liu and realized that the color lines on his face would not be erased for twelve hours, how could a child who met for the first time recognize what he looked like? Besides, I still recognize this kind of thing as "Dad"!
"Beautiful!" The girl was stunned for a moment, not understanding why the "father" in front of her suddenly asked herself like this - normally, she was hugged tightly, and her armpit was scratched fiercely when she was not paying attention.
But since I asked, the answer was definitely yes. It's just that this answer doesn't really mean much to the questioner.
"You...... You say I'm your father, but do you know what marks I have? For example, missing a finger, a mole on the chest, a scar on the back, etc.? ”
"Hmm...... Probably not......" The girl first thought hard about it, and realized that she really didn't notice it usually, and replied with a little uncertainty.
"Do you know where I live?"
"No...... I don't know......" Seeing that the flower hated Liu and asked more and more anxiously, the girl obviously felt that the atmosphere was wrong.
"You can't see my face, you can't tell my features, you don't even know where I live, what's wrong with me your father!" Hua hated Liu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that sure enough, this girl deliberately pretended to be scattered and ran to her.
"I ...... I ......" The girl saw that the "father" she identified as not recognizing herself, and the more she thought about it, the more afraid she became, and she couldn't help crying "wow".
"Please don't want me, I'm very well-behaved, not greedy at all......"
"You ......" Hua Haliu didn't expect that his words would directly blow up the reservoir gate, looking at the passers-by around him pointing at him one by one and Yang Jian, who was rushing over with a surprised face, he hurriedly coaxed: "You...... Don't cry, I don't want you! I'm ......."
Speaking of which, Hua Hate Liu couldn't say how to explain it to a child.
"What's going on?" Fortunately, at this time, Yang Jian walked up, and Hua hated Liu hurriedly pulled her over: "Quick, coax the child!" ”
"Coax ......" Yang Jian was shocked, she would kill people and plunder the array, who would coax children? Even if the sky is not afraid, it was also beaten by her, how could she have been coaxed?
"That'...... That one...... You don't know what your name is......" Yang Jian was also anxious, she didn't expect that the girl she finally wanted to send home in person didn't remember where her home was and didn't know what her name was!
"That's right!" Yang Jian suddenly became anxious and said, "Today's Lantern Festival, since you don't know what your name is, how about I call you a lantern?" You see the streets are full of beautiful lanterns! ”
Quickness is useful, but I didn't expect Yang Jian's words to really attract the girl's attention: "Lantern? Seeing Yang Jian nodding, she looked around and sure enough, there were many lanterns, some hung on trees, some were tied up in place, some were of one color, some were colorful colors, some were moving, and some were static......
"I don't make lanterns that are too good-looking...... Too good-looking women are all foxes......" As if to uphold some faith, the girl whispered to herself while looking at all kinds of lights.
"I'll just make that lantern!" Suddenly, the girl's eyes lit up and she pointed to a lamp in the distance.
It wasn't a lamp at all, probably because of poor cleaning, the lantern hanging from the willow tree had been destroyed beyond recognition, the paper on the surface was in tatters, half of it was long gone, and the black skeleton was still holding itself, in stark contrast to the willow branches dyed white after the snow—how could she take a fancy to this?
Although there were doubts, but at this time, Yang Jian and Hua Hate Liu couldn't care so much, and more and more passers-by slowly surrounded them, some sympathetic to the children, and some blamed the "parents" - which made the two particularly uncomfortable.
"Okay, just make the lantern hanging on the willow tree, then call it the willow lantern!" After Yang Jian finished speaking, as soon as she heard the girl say "good", she picked her up and rushed out of the crowd as if she was fleeing, and chose a place to flee from the wolf.
