Chapter 6: Unseen Love
That night, Xiaozhi slept so unsteadily, and kept dreaming of the conversation between the three people in the restaurant. He knew they were going to kill someone, but he hated that he couldn't save the woman, and he didn't know who she was or where she lived.
Afraid that he was weak and had just been flooded by the river, Shang Shang'er deliberately let him sleep in his attic that night. In the second half of the night, listening to him tossing and turning and couldn't fall asleep, Shang Shang'er suddenly said softly: "Xiaozhi, something?" β
Xiaozhi shook his head, he was a sensible child, and he didn't want to let Sister Xiang, who was so tired, worry about it anymore. I only heard him say softly, "It's okay." β
Shang Shang'er smiled: "Miss your mother, right?" β
Xiaozhi didn't think about it, but when she asked, she was touched by her feelings, hid her head in the quilt, and said nothing.
I only heard Shang Shang'er say softly: "Just think about it, there's nothing to be embarrassed about." Boys don't think about their mothers. - Come, come to Sister Xiang. β
Xiaozhi obediently came to her bedside, and Shang Shang'er gently pulled him into the quilt, let his head rest under his armpit, and gently patted him with one hand. At night, she didn't have time to remove the fat powder. Xiaozhi was gently patted by her, and her heart was relieved, and she fell asleep for a while. But he felt light, and after a while, he woke up again, quietly opened his eyes, and peeked at the sister who was holding him, only to see that her face, which had been smeared with grease, showed an indescribable tranquility in the moonlight, and the outline was extremely beautiful. Her hair was pressed under the pillow, and the moonlight poured through the half-hung window into the attic, gently brushing her white neck. She seemed to be thinking of someone, her blind eyes were empty, and the kind of worry on her face was like a kind of longing on her mother's ,ββface, which she sometimes saw when she looked at her father who was tired and asleep when she was lying on the desk. Seeing that expression, it will make people feel a sense of happiness out of thin air: it turns out that this world, after all, is beautiful, because there are still such beautiful thoughts.
There was a soft sound on the glass, a stone was thrown into the window, and then there were several long and short high-fives in the alley. Then, Xiaozhi saw a chuckle on Shang Shang'er's face. - Such a beautiful smile, so that Xiao Zhi was afraid that Sister Shang would find out that she had woken up and break her alone-that should belong to her alone.
Two days later, when Xiaozhi followed Shang Shang'er to Helou to wash dishes, she felt that her expression was not as calm as usual, as if she was always enduring a wisp of laughter and always enduring an inexplicable happy mood. She washed the dishes briskly, and the movement of her fingers on the porcelain rim was so warm. In those two days, they had finished their work early and returned to the alley, where the merchant was busy with the children's business, using a pair of blind eyes to find needles, fumbling for the mud monkeys to sew their torn clothes, and then sending them to sleep. The moonlight was bright that night, and she took Xiaozhi to the attic. At this time, it was already past the second watch.
Xiaozhi woke up lightly, slept for a watch, and only listened to Shang Shang'er get up gently. She gently tucked the quilt for Xiaozhi, and then got out of bed by herself, and she hit a basin of water at the head of the bed. Then, she gently untied her shirt, and then, with the sound of the water, she washed herself by the moonlight from the window. Xiaozhi couldn't help but quietly open his eyes. He will never forget the body of the girl in the moonlight in his life, and the sound of the water is soft, as if it is also telling a girl's love for Jiao. The moonlight poured into the window evenly, dripping over her body, over the bulging twin peaks on her chest, over her smooth lower abdomen, and over her long, beautiful legs.
Water and her daughter are really a very beautiful fit - Shang Shang'er's body is so white and delicate, it is not like her form in the daytime, as if it is so fine that it can't touch a drop of water. The drops of water borrowed the magic of the moonlight and seemed to turn into one shining bead after another, kissing and flowing gently on her body. Her feet were delicate and beautiful, and she could just see the water running down her ankles so lightly on the bed that it flowed down the decayed floor, flowing out of a kind of beauty that could only be hidden in the dark night and could not be seen by the world for thousands of years.
Xiaozhi can't describe the beauty even if he searches all the words he has memorized! Then I saw Shang Shang'er gently put on her clothes, Xiaozhi couldn't help it, and said softly: "Sister Shang, you want to go out?" β
Shang Shang'er looked back and smiled in the shadows, and there was the brilliance of the moon in her dumb pupils: "Yes, little childish, don't make a sound, don't let them know that I'm out." β
She turned back and gently patted the quilt on Xiaozhi's body as if soothing, and Xiaozhi closed her eyes happily. She lightly left a kiss on the child's head, and went downstairs lightly.
Shang Shang'er only reached the bottom of the building with her gentle steps, and Xiaozhi couldn't help it, so she got out of bed lightly and came downstairs with her. He doesn't have to follow Sister Shang, he just feels that he can't sleep anymore. When he went downstairs, Shang Xiang'er was gone. He walked down the alley, the moonlight in the sky was quiet and plain, and the mercy illuminated the filthy alley with a little beauty. At the end of the alley, there is a section of the broken wall, and the little child walks into it along the gap, and it is actually a small abandoned garden. The grass and trees in the garden are scattered, but this mess is also sorted out by the moonlight to create a kind of scattered quietness. Under the moonlight, he searched for the almost invisible path with his feet, stepped on the moonlight step by step, and wandered alone in the small garden.
Just after leaving his mother, his mind was originally very chaotic, but the quiet moonlight seemed to clear his mind, and his heart was grateful for this night and this month. He walked along the path without looking up, and at the end of the path seemed to be a small hexagonal pavilion, when he suddenly heard a soft sigh in his ears.
Then he looked up, and saw a man in the hexagonal pavilion, loosely dressed, sitting quietly. Her hair was lightly scattered, and her feet seemed to be impatient with the wornness of the shoes, and they kicked them off, revealing a pair of heavenly feet. Then Xiaozhi looked up and saw her face - God! What kind of face is that, the wings of the nose, the corners of the lips, and the eyelashes, all of which are a perfection that cannot be found in this world. The childish mother Pei Honglian deserves to be the first-class beauty in Chang'an, but even she is afraid that she does not have such beauty. That complexion is so beautiful, it's all a seclusion that shouldn't be bearable in this world. And she is actually a businessman! In the daytime, wearing a shrouded dress, combing the most absurd bun, and turning the clothes upside down, sometimes I can't help but feel embarrassed by the childish!
She so comfortably stretched out her body, which had been hidden by others during the day, such as Duada, such as the city people, in the moonlight. That gesture, that charm, can no longer be called beautiful, just a - natural.
Quiet and natural......
Xiao Zhi was stunned, and stretched out a hand to cover his mouth gently, not because he was afraid of alarming Sister Shangshang, but because he was afraid of shocking the surprise in his heart.
Shang Shang'er had already heard him and smiled at him: "Little ghost, you can't sleep, just touch it like this?" β
There was no anger on her face. Although she is not very old, what she has seen in the past two days, Xiaozhi feels that she seems to have never been angry. Xiaozhi felt in a trance for a while. Shang Xiang'er beckoned, and he walked up to the pavilion. Shang Shang'er held him in her arms and said softly: "Sister, I'm not afraid that you will follow, but I'm afraid that Ah Da will know." They never allowed my sister to see anyone. β
Then she chuckled lightly: "This class of children will also be jealous." They were afraid that their sister would run away with someone, so they didn't want them. Actuallyβhow could it be? The most important thing that my sister can't let go of in this life is the seventeen of you. But my sister is a woman, and if she is a woman, someone must love her. You may not understand this, but can you promise your sister not to tell them tomorrow? β
The little boy nodded obediently.
Shang Shang'er touched his face, and his lips smiled.
Xiaozhi asked softly, "Who is he?" β
Shang Shang'er chuckled, and her soft voice made the moonlight seem to tremble: "He is the best person in the world, the kindest, and the most ...... Gentle. Only he doesn't dislike his sister. He said that although his sister was blind, she was born beautiful. He said that he was also good-looking, handsome and heroic. Actually, he didn't say it. My sister knew that he was handsome and heroic. My sister likes to listen to him talk the most, and she likes to listen to him talk about his glorious past. He's not an ordinary person. My sister only hates, only hates being blind to a pair of eyes, and can't see him with her own eyes......"
Her voice was soft, like the wind. Such a beautiful relationship, such a tender feeling, Xiaozhi only felt that his heart trembled and hurt. Shang Shang'er gently stroked Xiaozhi's face: "There are some things, you are still young and don't understand." I don't know if you are blind or disabled in this world, but God is always fair, and He will give you the same gift as he does to all people......"
Then she raised her head slightly: "...... The best gift in the world, that's ...... Love! β
There was a look on her face that made Xiaozhi want to snuggle in her arms and never want to get up. It's a wonderful world. Because, there is also the love that makes Sister Shangshang so happy.
Although Shang Shang'er was blind, her hearing seemed to be excellent, and then she saw her ears move, and patted Xiaozhi gently: "He's here." β
Xiao Zhi raised his eyes, he really wanted to meet the man who made Sister Shang Shang so happy. If he allowed, he really wanted to thank him, thank him for giving such a good gift to such a good sister, and thank him for his love for Sister Shang.
Then he saw the man, his eyes widening - his mouth open - his tongue knotted - and he could no longer make a sound. He only heard a painful shattering sound in his heart, and there were only two words in his mind: deception!
