Chapter 8: The Bridge over the Flowing Creek
At noon, I was hungry on time, and I happened to see a wonton shop, setting up a shed, swaggering on the side of the street, my stomach was not screaming, but I was hungry and uncomfortable, I really couldn't do it, so I sat on the stool, put everything on the table, and Xiao Er's eyes were bright and snowy.
"What is this guest eating?"
I feel really uncomfortable in my heart, not only is it uncomfortable to be hungry, but also distressed about the silver taels, buy things by myself, don't want to be crazy, twenty taels of silver are gone, ordinary people are thrifty and thrifty for four or five years! Hehe, of course, if you talk about a family, it looks like four or five people, not eight or nine, but more than ten.
Looking at the goods I bought, two clothes, eight hairpins, four pairs of earrings, seven filament-like silver bracelets, each bracelet has carvings, I can't recognize it, but it looks good, one is too monotonous in my hand, and it can't reflect the beauty, so I bought the only five, looking at the guy's smiling face, I hated it!
Silently said angrily: "Wontons." ”
Xiao Er saw that he was in a bad mood, so he walked away with his hands and feet, and brought the wontons over with his hands and feet, and his face was still full of smiling faces, a familiar smile!
Seeing this girl's eyes, Xiao Er's whole person was not good, and he ran away like oil on the soles of his feet, and he was frightened in his heart, this girl was too fierce.
Yu Xi looked at Xiao Er funny, is she scary? Even Ao Xi didn't know how ...... the eyes he showed were Vicious.
Immersed in eating wontons, thinking about it, he didn't seem to have ear piercing, he slowly stretched out his hand to his ear, it was really not, if he wanted to wear that earring, then he had to pierce his ears, wouldn't it be very painful, and he swallowed his saliva here.
Just stared blankly, and before I knew it, I finished eating the wontons, and even drank half of the soup, before I realized it, and thought, it's okay, isn't it going to hurt twice?
When that time came, when I saw the needle, I felt that it was all bullshit!
After paying the money, it was really funny to see this little Erqi up and down, so he hurried away.
Xiao Er also sighed after leaving, aunt, grandma, finally left.
He walked to the gate of Ruxian Palace again, and when he saw the two "big brothers" and uncles guarding the door, he immediately changed his smile.
"Two big brothers," Qiao Xi hesitated, whether to add an uncle later, and finally decided not to call, "Do me another favor!" ”
The two gatekeepers both raised their eyebrows in tacit understanding, as if to say, why are you again? What do you want to do?
Looking at their expressions, his smile was a little unbearable, "Big brother, help me give this to Nai Yu of Yuyan Pavilion, okay......"
Before the word "?" could be spoken, the two gatekeepers rejected in unison, "No! ”
Woo Xi was really embarrassed, his heart was horizontal, the hard one couldn't come to the soft one, and then he changed to a delicate voice that was even colder than Chu Manxue, not only the two gatekeepers trembled, but also shook without a trace, it was really cold and wanted to vomit.
She is a woman with a very strong heart, which is reflected in this way, and she continued to insist on coquettishly: "Big brother, help me!" The little woman came and said she was grateful. ”
It is because she sees that these two eldest brothers are serious people, so she dares to continue to be coquettish, otherwise, she may have to take it herself, because she will have to fish later, it is inconvenient to take so many things, and Yuyan Pavilion is a little far away from here, and it is a waste of time to come and go.
Seeing that the two gatekeepers still refused to let go, they continued to be coquettish......
……
Finally, under the soft grinding, he disarmed and surrendered.
✘✘✘
She was in a very good mood, and her body was very relaxed walking on the street, and the breeze blew the hem of her smoke-like clothes, which made her feel extremely comfortable, and she always felt that she hadn't been like this for a long time.
After exercising his lazy waist, he continued to set off towards his destination.
Flowing Creek Abyss
Standing on the bridge and looking into the distance, it is not an endless water, but an overgrown bank, and towering trees grow on the opposite bank of the sun, which has a unique artistic conception.
The water is not clear or turbid, because the withered branches are haphazardly intertwined on the surface, making the water look a little muddy.
Speechless, I was speechless, I heard Liuxiyuan with such a beautiful and poetic name, and I thought it was a beautiful scenery!
That's how it turned out.
He continued to walk forward, heard the sound of "click", and looked around strangely, there would be no ghosts!
Wo Xi hugged himself in fear, stood on the edge of the bridge porch, and kept hypnotizing himself, there are no ghosts, no ghosts, even if there are ghosts, there will be no sun in the afternoon.
Suddenly, he saw that the bridge deck in front of him was clearly cracked, and it was still extending, and he lamented in his heart: It won't be so sad!
Just as he was about to run, a trembling voice came from behind him, "Little girl! You're so babbling that you've run away from all the old fish. ”
It's obviously a bland statement, but it sounds like a howl: "Give me back the fish!" ”
Frightened to the point that his legs were weak, he sat on the ground with a pale face, "You, you, don't be angry, I didn't mean to, if you are in a hurry to fish, I won't bother you, you continue, I, I'll go first." ”
As he spoke, he stood up and wanted to leave.
The old man who claimed to be old and said with a smile: "Come here, naturally you want to fish, see if you come for the first time, you should not be able to fish, I will teach you to fish!" Come and talk to me for a while! ”
Well, now I'm too frightened, I feel that this feels familiar, and I don't care so much, listening to the meaning of the words, I want her to go down to accompany him, is it really a ghost? Why do you believe so much that there are ghosts?
When the old man saw that he didn't talk, he said: "I heard you seem to be talking about ghosts just now, don't you suspect that the old man is a ghost!" ”
"Huh? How could it be! "Hello haha.
There was a "click", which was unprecedentedly loud, and he shouted in fright, "Ghost! ”
Holding his head and squatting down, the old man was accustomed to the situation on the bridge deck, looking at the sigh of not being angry but laughing, laughing louder, listening to the sigh of the heart jumping, almost jumping to the throat!
"Then why don't you run?"
He looked at himself, there was no pain, he shouldn't be dead, he looked back at the bridge deck, there was no crack, it was as good as ever, but the sound of "click" came again, and cracks began to appear on the bridge deck at that end.
Strange: "How can this be?" ”
But the old man was angry, "The old man asked you a question!" Why don't you answer, ask me! ”
Looking back reflexively, a hunchbacked old man with white hair and a beard was blowing his nose and staring at her, and his brain was running fast for a while, it turned out that this old man was the "ghost" just now.
Embarrassed and laughed: "I was so scared just now that I didn't hear the question, can you ask again?" ”
Only then did the old man put on a pleasant face, "I just asked you, why don't you run?" ”
He was a little stunned by this question, and he was really embarrassed to say that he was scared stupid, so he explained differently: "I'm afraid that I will be haunted by ghosts every day in the future." ”
After that, he felt that this answer was even more stupid than being scared, and he was about to change his words, but the old man didn't care about Kui's answer.
He said: "This bridge is made of two materials, one is ordinary stone, and the other is made of glass crushed powder paid by other countries, which can make a cracking sound, and cracks appear under the sun, and they are also translucent, and over time, the length of the crack can be changed, and there is a story in it!" ”
I listened carefully to these words word by word, and was attracted by the last sentence, and asked, "What story?" ”
"Want to hear it?" Seeing the old man's pretended to be mysterious, he seemed to smell the smell of "conspiracy", but if he didn't want to, then the old man might not talk about it.
"Yes." He also has a gossip heart, so he said so.
She also thought about it, if the old man had any excessive demands, or something she couldn't do, she would refuse and not listen.
"Then you can come here and talk to me from time to time! I'm here every day. The old man said calmly but with a hint of pleading.
It's a little strange, at this age, shouldn't be full of children and grandchildren, how can it come to such a point.
The old man has lived for so many years, this can still be seen, sighing and looking at the sky, "I am alone, the only pleasure is fishing, every day, it is also boring!" ”
There are naturally a lot of people who come here to fish and pass by, but no one wants to talk to the old man, and some are also a few people, for so many years, the people who have taken care of him have not chatted with him for a long time, and there are many reasons.
I also thought that this old man was really pitiful, and I also felt that this time was fine, so I nodded: "Yes." ”
The old man was very happy, "Come on, come on, I'll teach you how to fish and tell you at the same time." ”
I don't know if it's an illusion or it's true, I feel that the old man seems to have a sense of relief, and this is a relief, it seems that the story that has been suppressed for hundreds of years can finally be told.
In fact, the old man really thought so, touched his long beard, and smiled.
I didn't care about it, climbed up the bridge porch, looked at the calm water, and suddenly retreated, and said with a sneer: "It's also the first time that I know that I'm afraid of heights and water." ”
