Chapter 42: An egg, half of you, half of me
On the clouds, the boat floated gently, and the clouds below rumbled, lightning and thunder.
Presumably, under the clouds, it was already pouring rain.
The boat suddenly broke through the clouds and fell straight down, and the girl in purple took an oil-paper umbrella from the cabin and gently opened it.
As the boat continued to fall, raindrops began to crackle and fall on the fan surface, and the transparent oil-paper umbrella drew a begonia, with the words "cloud deep and unknown".
The closer you get to the ground, the clearer the mountains and rivers become, hazy in the heavy rain, like a fairyland.
She just wanted to see the view, so she seemed very happy.
Her name is Yun Suyin, and she came from Gusu City, where Yun Shen didn't know where, to find a young man named Su Xiaoqi.
Along the way, she heard a lot of rumors about that person, so she became more and more curious about that young man, but as she got closer and closer to Panyang Town, she became more and more conflicted in her heart, expecting, but also worried, and even a little excited sometimes.
Sometimes she sits alone in a small boat, and she will think about what she will say and do after she meets, so the speed of the boat will always follow the ups and downs of her mood, sometimes fast and sometimes slow.
The boat finally landed on a mountain road east of the town of Panyang.
The rain didn't stop, and the mountain road looked muddy, and soon stained her shoes and skirt, but she didn't care at all, just looked at the town in the heavy rain ahead, shrouded in rain and fog.
She felt a little cold and a little hungry.
So she took a step forward, and just one step, the people were already in the town.
There was no one in the streets, only raindrops that kept falling on the stone slabs, like pearls bursting apart.
She didn't know where Su Xiaoqi lived, so she walked all the way, asked all the way, and soon came to the stone arch bridge.
She looked at the dilapidated courtyard with a pair of eyes, and hesitated.
Soon, her brow furrowed slightly, as an old man walked onto the stone arch bridge.
The old man held a cigarette stick in his hand, his figure was rickety, and he held a yellowed oil-paper umbrella, and the rain and smoke surrounded his body, showing mystery.
The old man spoke first: "The girl is looking for someone?"
The woman in purple nodded.
The old man's eyes fell on the five words on her oil-paper umbrella, and he nodded and asked, "Looking for Su Xiaoqi?"
She nodded again.
The old man asked again, "Sword Squire?"
The woman in purple was stunned for a moment, looked at the old man with some solemnity, shook her head and said, "Wife." ”
This time it was the turn of the old man to be stunned, a pair of eyes looked at the woman in purple, then nodded, stopped talking, pointed to the dilapidated courtyard with the cigarette stick in his hand, turned around and walked down the stone arch bridge.
The woman in purple also walked down the stone arch bridge and walked towards the dilapidated courtyard.
In front of the house on the north side of the Rhine, a little girl stood on the threshold, looking forward to it, and when she saw her grandfather coming back, she hurriedly said, "Grandpa, what is that sister looking for the little seventh brother?"
The old man didn't answer, and said something that made the little girl feel inexplicable, "Some people are destined to be ordinary......"
He looked at the little girl standing on the threshold, then smiled and walked into the house.
Only the little girl was left standing on the threshold, a little worried, she wanted to go to the little seventh brother's house to see, but she was afraid that her grandfather would blame, so she could only look at it like this, but the rain curtain was too big, and she couldn't see the situation on the other side clearly, so she was anxious and irritable, and she hated the heavy rain to death.
Su Xiaoqi was busy at the moment, sewing and mending everywhere.
The house is really dilapidated, and I don't think it's sunny days, as long as it rains, there are leaks here and there, and it doesn't take long for the house to be full of potholes.
The rain outside was so loud that he couldn't hear the knock on the door.
Yun Suyin knocked for a long time and didn't move, couldn't help frowning, and reached out to gently push the courtyard door open.
I saw that there were several stone slabs paved in the small courtyard, which were far apart, so it was a little difficult to walk.
The door of the house was not closed, so she walked over and saw Su Xiaoqi, who was busy in the house, was already soaked in many places, and she didn't know if it was sweat or rain.
Su Xiaoqi finally filled the last loophole, jumped down the stairs and looked up, revealing a satisfied smile.
Then he turned around and saw a girl in purple standing in front of the door, holding an oil-paper umbrella, and she was also looking at him.
In the rain, she is like a fox and a fairy.
Su Xiaoqi was stunned and asked, "Girl, are you?"
She spoke, "Yun Suyin." ”
Her voice is soft and beautiful.
Su Xiaoqi asked again, "You came to me?"
Yun Suyin nodded.
Su Xiaoqi thought that people were still raining outside, so he said with some embarrassment: "Please come in." ”
Yun Suyin took the oil-paper umbrella, put it upside down outside the door, and after entering the house, she saw Su Xiaoqi with an embarrassed face.
Because of the rain leakage, the house was full of potholes, and it was impossible to settle down.
Yun Suyin said, "I want to stay." ”
Su Xiaoqi was surprised: "Huh?"
Yun Suyin frowned slightly, staring at Su Xiaoqi, "Why?
Su Xiaoqi hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Not really, it's just that this place is shabby, I'm afraid you won't be able to stand it, girl." ”
Su Xiaoqi really felt a little inexplicable, such a woman suddenly came, and she wanted to stay, what would others think if they saw it? I don't care, but girl, you are a woman after all.
But after thinking about it, anyway, when this rain is over, he will go to Haotian Sect, and he won't be able to stay for a few days after he comes back, and he will really go out once, three or five years, ten years or eight years, or even never come back.
It's nice to have someone to help take care of this small courtyard.
Yun Suyin had already walked into the room and said, "I can bear it." ”
She looked left and right and asked, "Is there anything to eat?" ”
Su Xiaoqi thought to herself, girl, you are really welcome, but said, "Wait a while, I'll do it for you." ”
He quickly walked into the kitchen and cooked a bowl of noodles for this girl, not that Su Xiaoqi could only cook noodles, but because there was nothing else at home except noodles.
Soon, a bowl of hot noodles was served, Yun Suyin had already found a stool that was not wet by the rain and sat down, after taking the bowl of noodles, she was not in a hurry to eat, but looked at the package in the corner and asked, "You want to go?"
Without waiting for Su Xiaoqi to answer, she had already started to eat noodles.
She was indeed a little hungry, and the bowl of noodles seemed to make her very appetizing, with chopped green onions, a few slices of tomatoes, and an omelette egg if it were a little chili.
So after she took a bite, she asked, "Are there any chili peppers?"
Su Xiaoqi, who was just about to sit down, stood up again and said with a smile: "Yes, I'm afraid that you won't be able to eat spicy food, so I didn't put it, so I'll get it for you." ”
The chili pepper is burned, put it in the fire and turn it over a few times, take it out and blow off the ash on it, and gently pinch it with his hand, and it will be broken immediately, Su Xiaoqi feels that if he eats noodles, he should put such a chili, but he is a little worried about whether this girl will dislike it.
So when he brought the chili pepper, he was a little hesitant, but Yun Suyin had already handed the bowl to him and nodded.
Su Xiaoqi put the chili pepper in his hand with both hands, and the broken chili fell into the bowl.
Yun Suyin stirred casually twice, and then continued to eat, pointing to the package in the corner with chopsticks, indicating that Su Xiaoqi had not answered his previous question.
After Su Xiaoqi sat down, he nodded and said, "I'm going to leave today, I never thought about this rain, and when this rain stops, I'll leave." ”
He then explained, "But you can continue to live here, girl, for as long as you want." ”
Yun Suyin said vaguely: "I'll go with you." ”
Su Xiaoqi almost thought that he had heard it wrong, "Ah?!".
Yun Suyin handed the bowl to Su Xiaoqi, swallowed the last egg in his mouth, and asked, "Is there anything else?"
Su Xiaoqi was stunned, this girl hadn't eaten for a few days, took the bowl, and said with a smile: "There are others." ”
He cooked another bowl, again the same as before, with chopped green onions, tomatoes, plus an egg and, of course, peppers.
When Su Xiaoqi came out with his face, Yun Suyin said, "I came here to follow you." ”
Su Xiaoqi asked, "Are you from Gusu City?"
He had seen the words on the umbrella in Yun Suyin's hand before, and Yun Suyin's surname was Yun, so he had this guess.
Yun Suyin nodded and began to eat noodles.
Su Xiaoqi was puzzled: "What are you doing with me?"
Yun Suyin said vaguely: "Understand you, and protect you by the way." ”
At this time, Su Xiaoqi didn't know how to pick it up.
Yun Suyin continued: "This is arranged by the elders, and it is also my mission. ”
Su Xiaoqi asked directly, "What mission?"
Yun Suyin stopped eating noodles and raised her eyes to stare at Su Xiaoqi, a little hesitant and a little shy, but still said: "From the moment I was born, the elders of Gusu City arranged for me to be your wife when I grew up, protect you, and help you complete anything you want to do." ”
Su Xiaoqi was like five thunderbolts, and his brows were furrowed, "Girl, what are you talking about?"
After saying this, Yun Suyin continued to eat noodles and said, "But I will get to know you first, if you still can't reach my ideal husband in three years, I will leave, even if it is death." ”
Su Xiaoqi was really a little confused, but he felt inexplicable, a woman suddenly appeared, saying that she wanted to be his wife, and whoever met it couldn't slow down.
After eating noodles, the two of them had nothing to say, after all, it was the first time they met, and what they said before was a little embarrassing in addition to being appalling, so Su Xiaoqi had nothing to do.
Yun Suyin's eyes have been observing Su Xiaoqi, just like she said, she wants to know Su Xiaoqi and everything about him.
That night, Yun Suyin stayed and slept in the room where Su Rufan slept before.
The next day, there was no rain, and the air was exceptionally fresh in the morning after the heavy rain.
When Yun Suyin got up, Su Xiaoqi was already in the kitchen, and the cooking was naturally noodles, but there was only the last egg left.
He took out the bowl with the eggs and handed it to Yun Suyin, while he walked back to the kitchen to eat the bowl without eggs.
Yun Suyin was a little curious, walked into the kitchen with the noodles, looked at Su Xiaoqi's bowl, and then looked at herself, and then she used chopsticks to divide the eggs in her bowl into two halves and put half of them into Su Xiaoqi's bowl.
Su Xiaoqi was stunned for a moment, and just wanted to speak, but Yun Suyin had already turned around and walked out of the kitchen.
Su Xiaoqi looked at her back, and then looked at the half egg in her bowl, and didn't come back to her senses for a long time.
