Saint Moan Chapter 30, picking up a little doll on the lake
In the depths of the forest, Gu Wai saw a woman clinging to another person in rags, the green silk fell and hung down, Li Wai quickly covered her eyes, and couldn't see anything, Gu Wai was displeased for a while, and his hand was bare and skimmed off his eyes.
The mosquito said, "Brother, what are you doing?" β
The flush instantly flew onto his cheeks, and he coughed lightly on the side of his face, "It's nothing, it's just these things, you shouldn't see it, I want to cover it up for you." β
"Brother means that woman?" She looked at it, asked him in a straight voice, and without waiting for him to answer, she continued, "Be careful not to look at women, nor to speak together, if you are with the talker, you are thinking rightly, I am a sand gate, in a turbid world, I should be like a lotus flower, not dirty." It's just a little girl, and if you are quiet in everything, you won't be called filthy. Brother underestimated An'er! β
He hooked his lips and smiled, nodded, and unconsciously stroked her head with his right hand, patted it, and said, "Yes, it is my brother who underestimates An'er, An'er is a little monk who has read the scriptures, and he can be compared with non-laypeople." β
And about that, I bowed down and squatted for half a pillar of incense, during which nothing happened, not as Aqiu told her in the book, some people rushed to come in groups, just to break up this pair of lovers, and there was no strange and strange appearance, everything seemed so ordinary, the only difference was her feet, squatting in the winter and running out of blood. The paralysis is abnormal, and it is like an ant biting at every turn, and the pain is not endless.
Gu Wei really couldn't figure it out, why did Li Shun pull her to hide here, was it to wait for anyone? Or is it to wait for that scene to happen?
But until silence returned to the woods, and he helped her up, he never got an answer.
He half-crouched down, lifted her leg and kneaded it gently, for a long time, and asked, "How is it, is it okay?" β
She frowned and turned her face away, tilted to one side, not wanting to pay attention to him.
This awkwardness is that for several hours, the night is falling, the sun is sinking in the Xijiang River, the sky is sparsely starry, and the figures on the ground are in pairs.
They were tied to stakes, and dragged and thrown into the cold river.
When the driftwood left the shore, by the moonlight, Gu Wei dared to secretly open his eyes, looked at Li Shun, who was also an inch from the shore, and whispered, "Brother, Brother Huaishu?" β
"Hmm. Yes, don't be afraidβ" There was a whisper on the cold river.
With his answer, her heart really settled down.
Recalling the scene just now, Gu Wei really felt terrible, dozens of young and strong warriors rushed out from all around the forest, holding sharp blades, and stabbed at them, making fierce moves without hesitation.
Fortunately, Li Shun is already old, and he has learned a few tricks with his master for a long time, if it weren't for so many people, if there wasn't for her, Gu Wei thought, it should be okay for him to escape safely alone.
But in fact, there are so many killers who don't want to die, and the existence of a weak hand who has no power to restrain the chicken, which dragged him alive.
After a few moves, he fell down, holding her hand was already covered with beads of sweat, and the red blood on the shoulder armor soaked his clothes, Gu Wai didn't have time to care about whether he was wrong, so he listened to him and leaned into his ear, and said in a mosquito voice, "An'er is not afraid, just close your eyes later, just like the game that my brother played with An'er before, remember, don't open it no matter what happens." β
At the end, I didn't forget to add, "I believe in my brother, my brother won't let An'er have anything to do." β
Floating on the wood, she stiffened her body and didn't dare to move, lest she remember the idioms that Li avoided teaching him when she was in the Li Mansion, picking and picking, as if she was in the abyss, it was nothing more than that.
"Brother," she called timidly.
"Well, An'er, don't be afraid, my brother is here."
With Li Shun's order, the fisherman who had been hiding at the mouth of the Hanjiang River saw Gu Wei and Li Shun, and hurriedly sailed towards them.
He sat at the head of the bridge, the fish lamp obliquely reflected his long figure, Gu Wai held the ginger soup in his hand and half-squatted and moved to his side, "Brother, drink some soup!" Uncle Li cooked a lot of sugar cubes in the ginger soup, which tasted sweet. β
He turned his head and pulled out a smile that was more tragic than crying, "Drink, daughter's house, it's not good to be cold, drink more, go to sleep in the cabin for a while, wake up, we'll be home." β
She held the soup bowl and stretched it out to him, the river floated, the soup bowl also shook slightly, the starry juice jumped out of the bowl and splashed on the back of her hand, she saw that he still didn't drink, and stretched the bowl towards him again regardless of the pain, "Brother, drink some, it's very sweet, and it won't be bitter if you eat it." β
"If you eat it, it really won't be bitter?" He asked her rhetorically.
"Yes." She nodded in response, smiling at him, "Yes." β
He took the ginger soup from her hand, and although there was a smile on his lips, there was a dead silence in his eyes.
This appearance is very similar to the appearance of Gu Wei when he first saw him in the mountains that night.
Her heart trembled, and the bad results that ten thousand senior sisters said were derived in her mind, "Brother~"
Li Shun drank the ginger soup in his hand, quite a kind of strong man drinking ability, "Bang," the bowl of soup was placed on the deck by him, and he nodded at Gu Wei's hopeful eyes, and said, "Yes, it's very sweet." An'er didn't lie to her brother. β
"This is natural, An'er is a Buddhist after all, and she never speaks." Gu Wei moved towards him, and when he saw that the distance was about the same, he tentatively leaned his head slightly on his shoulder, tentatively took his hand, and said tightly, "Although An'er doesn't know what happened to my brother today, but fate is destined to come to heaven, fate to go to people to take it by themselves, planting is like a cause, reaping is like a result, everything is idealistic." If my brother is sad because of personal affairs, then there is no need.
After all, nothing in this world will exist forever, everything will eventually return to the earth, a handful of yellow sand, and there is no trace in the river and sea. β
Hearing this, his eyes looking at the dead and lonely lake moved slightly, Gu weeping chin pressed against his shoulder, looking up at him, he seemed to be crying, there were tear stains on his eyelashes, and the cold wind in winter instantly condensed into frost.
The moonlight is shining.
"My brother is so good-looking!" She was amazed.
The hot breath exhaled by Gu Wai hit Li Shun's cheeks from the bottom up, instantly crimson, the hand behind him was slightly raised, and he gently grabbed the placket of her back, and his body also turned to the side.
"It's getting late, An'er go back to the cabin and rest!"
She leaned forward and pouted, "I don't want to." β
βοΌβ
She got closer and closer, and when Li avoided stiffened and thought she was going to do something, her head dropped, and she closed her eyes on his lap.
muttered in his mouth, still, "The moon is dark and the wind is high, An'er is afraid, but she still leans on her brother and sleeps comfortably." β
He looked helpless, but his hand inadvertently patted her back again and again, and the smile gradually spread in his eyes.
At that moment, Li Shu felt that the wind in his ears was not cold to the bone, and he only felt that it was warm like a girdle woven of tough grass, enveloping his whole person, but it could resist the wind and resist the erosion of all things.
"Bang," the boat touched the stones, and shook two or three times, and the master of the boat, even though he was skilled, took a lot of effort to control the situation.
And in these kung fu, Gu Wei was also awakened by the splash of the collision of the boat, and turned over in a daze, and Li Shunyan, who was always paying attention to her, quickly pulled her into his arms to avoid her falling into the water.
The hair instantly covered her face in a messy way, "poof-" she blew it, and saw that the hair was still pasted in front of her eyes without any reaction, "giggle," laughed, through the gap in the hair, she looked at him with four eyes, and the strong wind in her ears blew the dark clouds in the distance, covering the moon in the sky, and the night was dark in an instant, but Gu Weeping looked at it, but felt that his eyes were really good-looking, bright, brighter than the stars in the sky.
"Ahem, ahem," he coughed lightly, his eyes staring uneasily at the deck, "Well, should An'er get up first?" β
"Huh? What did my brother say? β
"Uh," he pursed his lips and continued, "That, An'er pressed me, a little breathless. β
"Huh?" She looked at herself, then at him, and then at the surroundings, and then a spirit of hindsight got up, sat down in the cabin obediently and quietly, looked at him, and touched her nose, "Hehe, my brother called An'er to crush it!" β
He straightened out his messy clothes, his eyes dodged and he didn't dare to look at her, "cough," after coughing lightly twice, he asked, "Fangcai, what is An'er staring at me?" β
Gu Wei raised his head and said truthfully, "I'm looking at my brother's eyes!" β
"Eyes?"
"Uh-huh." She nodded, and continued, "Has anyone ever told my brother that his eyes are really beautiful?" The bright one is the pearl of the bright moon, and thousands of stars can't compete with the kind of good-looking. Idealism appears, only knowledge changes, my brother's eyes are so bright, and the heart must be extraordinary. An'er really didn't look at the wrong person, my brother is the best person in the world, and when I return to the mountains, An'er will pray for my brother every day in front of the Buddha and recite scriptures, I just hope that you will be safe and healthy. β
Li avoided looking at her for a long time, and her complexion changed several times, from shy to happy, and then her eyes were full of depression after hearing that she was going back to the mountain, until now, gentle as water.
"Wow-wow-" A burst of baby cries across the silent night, falling into the ears of Gu Wei and Li Shun, she suddenly came to the spirit, and she was about to get up but she didn't stand very steadily and fell, Li Shun took it and held it, poked her head out of the cabin, and commanded to the boatman, "Look carefully to see if there are babies on this water." β
"Yes, Childe." The boatman was obedient, paddled and searched the water, and at last found a baby in a basin of drainage, and he hurriedly approached the paddle, and after setting the oars ready, he stretched out his hand and pulled the baby through the basin, and gently carried the baby into the cabin.
Gu Wai tiptoed past her, and didn't dare to look at her carefully, the baby in her arms was about more than a year old, and she was very pleasing to look white and fat, and at this moment she was holding her hand with lotus root balls, desperately stuffing it into her mouth, and she instantly flowed her body, seeing Gu Wai staring at her intently, thinking that she also wanted to eat, she stretched out to her, grinning at her, and "babbling" in her mouth.
Gu Wei had never seen such a small person, and for a while he was half happy and half stunned, or Li Shun was older, and another sister was born in the Li Mansion, so he had some experience, he took the baby from her hand, and instructed, "It seems that she is hungry, An'er, you go to the warm oven and take a look, there is still any freshly cooked fish soup, if there is, scoop some of it, remember to skim the foam Xingzi and feed her." β
As soon as Gu Wei heard the words, he was busy following his instructions to do it, scooping the soup, skimming the foam, and blowing it one more step to cool it carefully, spoonful after spoonful of feeding to the mouth of the doll, the doll moved her lips, sucked twice, and smiled at her even more.
