Chapter 18: Sweet Memories
That night, Wang Dan and his family had dinner, no appetite, just ate a few bites of rice, and a few chopsticks were sandwiched between the dishes, Wang Dan's wife saw that he had something on his mind, and didn't know how to comfort him, so she put a little food in his bowl and said: "The rice still has to be eaten, you will hurt your body like this!" ”
Wang Dan shook his head, stood up and left the dining table, and walked to his study, Wang's wife saw Wang Dan leaving the table, and she didn't know what to do, several children watched their father leave the table, all of them widened their eyes, put down the dishes in their hands, and didn't know what happened. Seeing this situation, the king's wife persuaded: "Children, eat, your father has something to do tonight, so leave him alone!" ”
He instructed his subordinates to warm a few dishes and send them to Wang Dan, and if he was hungry, he could eat them!
Wang Dan returned to his room and sat on the master's chair, looking a little decadent, he couldn't close his eyes for two consecutive days, and as soon as he closed his eyes, he thought of Pu's mother's appearance before she died, she was so helpless and so worried!
With his eyes open, his eyes were bloodshot, he had to look at everything around him, and saw the books, brushes, inkstones, and rice paper on the table, and he didn't want to write at this time, because it was very annoying, and he couldn't write anything! He touched these things with his hands, they were so familiar, just like his old friends, they got along with each other day and night, and everything had a deep feeling! He took a piece of cloth, wiped the table with his heart, gently wiped the pen, and slowly touched the inkstone, only in this way could he calm his mind, and he was enjoying this process!
Suddenly, he was careless, I don't know what he touched, something fell to the ground, he hurriedly leaned down to pick up that thing, when he touched that thing, it felt so familiar, picked it up and took a look, his eyes immediately moistened!
It is a natural flat oval pebble, itself is a little uneven, and there are some edges and corners, but after careful polishing, it is already very smooth, like a flat round egg! On the polished smooth surface, a man and a woman were drawn on it with a dagger, and after years of washing, the pattern on it was almost invisible, only a few messy lines, but holding it, I was already crying bitterly!
Time back to twenty-five years ago, at that time Wang Dan was just a poor boy, studying in a monastery, because of the poverty of the family, so only brought a small amount of rice to the mountain to study, afraid that there would not be enough to eat, always boiled the rice into porridge, every night to measure the rice, add water, put it on the small stove to cook, and went to study, the next morning, the rice porridge was cold, and then with a knife to divide it into four parts, every time you are hungry, take one to eat!
There is a little girl here who often goes up the mountain to cut the mountain, passing by the temple, often sees Wang Dan sitting there alone with a book to read, when she is hungry, she takes a piece of cold rice to eat, and thinks he is pitiful, so from time to time pick some fruit for him.
At this time, when Wang Dan finished reading, he often saw some fruits or other things around him. On this day, he pretended to be reading to see who would give him something, and after noon, there was suddenly an apple next to him, and he immediately chased it out to see who put it!
I saw a little girl carrying a small basket on her back, picking a dandelion, jumping up, humming a song and walking towards the mountain!
Wang Dan immediately ran over, intercepted her, took the apple, and asked, "Where did you put it!" ”
The little girl smiled and said, "Yes! ”
Wang Dan stuffed the apple into her hand: "This, I can't ask for it!" "Then turn around and go!
The little girl came over, stuffed the apple into Wang Dan's hand again, and said, "Eat, it's okay!" Don't eat cold rice in the future, it's not good for your stomach! I'll help you get some hot food later! After saying that, he jumped up the hill!
Wang Dan was stunned there, looking at the figure of the little girl walking away!
In the future, the little girl will always bring some things to help Wang Dan heat some meals, and always pester him to play and say something! After coming and going, I got acquainted with her, and asked her what her name was, and she said that her name was little Du Juan, and she was as beautiful as Du Juanhua! She also asked Wang Dan: "Am I beautiful?" ”
Wang Dan always didn't dare to look at her, lowered his head and said, "Well, well! ”
Xiao Dujuan always felt that Wang Dan was always perfunctory to her, walked over, raised his head, pointed his finger at his eyes, and then stepped back and pointed to his face, saying, "Look at my face, not at the ground!" Am I beautiful? ”
Wang Dan looked at this face, this is a delicate face, as if it is a work of art carved by God, on the white skin, the facial features are so exquisite, completely amazed by her beauty! I felt my heart pounding, as if it was about to jump out!
"What's wrong with you, why did you get a nosebleed!" Du Juan immediately rolled Wang Dan's face with her left hand, and wiped it with her right hand!
Wang Dan felt that he was out of shape, and he didn't know what to do, so he lowered his head and looked around, really wanting to find a hole to get into!
In this way, they are often together, Wang Dan feels very happy, he is very happy to read, and his life is also very beautiful! Longing for her every day!
On this day, the two of them came to the creek to play, Du Juan stepped on the pebbles above the stream with her bare feet, she jumped from one stone to another, very happy, pointed to Wang Dan and said, "Come here, play!" ”
Wang Dan walked over, but he didn't expect a splash of water to cover him, and he was immediately drenched in coldness, and he couldn't laugh anymore when he saw Du Juan! One foot is a little unsteady and almost slips into the stream! Immediately understood what was going on, and splashed the stream too!
Du Juan was immediately wet by the stream, pouted a small mouth, and said angrily: "You dare to make a surprise attack!" "Splash the water with both hands!
The two of them are like that, you and me, and they had a great time, and in the end both of them were soaked! The two of them walked beside the stream in embarrassment, Du Juan suddenly tripped over a stone and almost fell, and after a closer look, it turned out to be a pebble, and said, "It turned out to be you, the culprit!" Dare to seek money and kill yourself! "I kicked it over, but I didn't expect that I was not wearing shoes, and the flesh and blood were blurred at that time, and the blood kept falling down, and the blood dripped down, almost turning the stream red! The nails on the thumb are blood-red, and after a while, they turn black!
Wang Dan walked over and grabbed her injured foot, and when he saw that the injury was not clear, he couldn't bear it, and said, "Why are you so careless!" Helping her to limp towards the shore, she suddenly didn't know what she thought, turned to Wang Dan and said, "Arrest that culprit for me!" ”
Wang Dan was confused, "What! ”
"It's the rock that hurt my foot!"
"What do you want that stone for?"
"No, I do!"
Wang Dan really couldn't help it, he couldn't resist her, and helped her find the pebble in the stream! Wang Dan helped Du Juan limp onto the shore! Sitting on the sand, Wang Dan held Du Juan's little feet, looking at her injuries, it was really miserable, they were so swollen, and he thought to himself that there was no doctor here, what should I do?
Wang Dan gently grabbed the injured part and asked, "Does it hurt?" ”
Du Juan held back the pain and said, "It's okay, it doesn't hurt!" ”
Wang Dan used his hand to clean the blood stains next to her thumb, facing the bright red wound, still bleeding, and he didn't know how to stop the bleeding! Suddenly I thought of the old method that my mother taught him, burned the paper, and put the paper ashes on the wound, and sure enough, it was not as powerful as before!
"Look at you, you don't want to kick it if you don't want to, it's really brainless!" Wang Dan complained.
"It's all it, this culprit! See if I don't cut it with a thousand cuts! Du Juan pointed to the stone and drew it twice with a dagger! If I don't break your body into thousands of pieces today, I won't understand the hatred in my heart! ”
"Look at you, how can you get along with a stone!" Wang Dan snatched the stone!
"Give it back, give it back to me!"
"And you're going to make sure you don't draw on it with a knife again?"
"Okay!" Du Juan felt that Wang Dan was a little verbose!
Wang Dan returned the stone to her. She took it and was about to draw it again, when she suddenly felt that the pattern on it was very similar to Wang Dan, and then pulled Wang Dan and said, "Look, what does the pattern on it look like!" ”
Wang Dan looked at the few lines drawn by Du Juan horizontally and vertically on the pebbles, felt that they were nothing, and said, "Aren't they just a few lines?" ”
"Don't you feel like you?"
"What, like me!"
Then Du Juan pointed to the top piece and said, "This is your head, and this is your body, and below is your legs!" ”
Wang Dan didn't know what she was thinking, how could she think it was me!
Then Du Juan drew a few more times on it and said, "It's okay now, there is me down here!" The two of us have held hands, rain or shine, and have gone through many days! ”
Wang Dan looked at the pebbles that had been painted in a mess, and wanted to throw it away! was immediately stopped by Du Juan and said, "This is what I gave you, the picture of the two of us holding hands!" You are not allowed to throw it, I will check it! ”
"Okay, I won't throw it!" Wang Dan replied, saying in his heart, I'll throw it away when I go back!
Du Juan fell asleep in Wang Dan's arms!
