Chapter 31, Flat Food
Early the next morning, when the boat was close to the shore, a call was heard, Gu Wei sat on the deck, looked sideways at Li Shun, and asked worriedly, "Brother, we haven't returned all night like this, I'm afraid the old lady will have to worry about it!" ”
He nodded, and agreed with Gu Wei's statement, "Grandmother, she will indeed be worried, but An'er can rest assured, with her brother here, grandmother will not be angry with you." These things are the ones I caused you to do. ”
In the cabin, there was a slight movement, and Gu Wei looked back and realized that it was just that the hand he picked up yesterday was not delicious enough, so he changed it. She looked at her, a little funny, but in a blink of an eye, she seemed to think of something, and worry replaced the smile, she pointed at her and asked, "What is she going to do?" ”
He replied to her, "Take it back." ”
"Where are you going? Lee's house? Brother, is this going back to pick up an An'er again! ”
"It's not."
"What's that?" She continued to ask.
Li avoided a glance at her, laughed instantly, put his index finger on her forehead, touched it twice, and replied, "Don't worry, it's just to bring it back temporarily, in the eyes of my brother, An'er is a unique An'er, and there will be no one else in this world." ”
Gu Wei's little daughter nodded, and continued with her mouth shut, "Since you want to take her back, what should you call her?" An'er doesn't have a surname, but she still has a name, but last night, An'er looked through her clothes and didn't find any words. ”
"Hmm." He was silent for a while, and said, "Let's call her Le'er for the time being, she likes to laugh like this, and the word music is also very worthy, and it is not too late to call her back to her original name when she finds her parents." ”
"Le'er?" Gu Wei sat back in the cabin, twisting his fingers and touching her face slightly, "Changle Ankang, Ankang Changle, Brother Huaishu, do you think this Le'er and An'er are very fateful?" An'er looked at her happily, she stared at me yesterday and was happy, my brother didn't think that this happiness was like An'er's sister? ”
He shook his head, seeing that she was so happy because of her, his heart was slightly sour, "I don't know, An'er said yesterday that her brother is the best in the world, why is it that she sees such a doll who can't speak now, and she says that it is very fateful?" ”
“?” She couldn't figure out what was angry about him, so she had to look at him suspiciously, expecting an answer.
But before he could answer, the boat had docked, and Mrs. Li, who had been waiting early, saw Li Shun's cold appearance, but she was timid, but she didn't keep screaming like last time, she only held the arm of the maid and maid, and stood there, her temples were gray, looking at him with tears in her eyes.
After a long time, he called, "Avoid the child." ”
He stepped ashore first, then turned around and stretched out his hand to lead Gu Wei, and finally, he took the still sleeping Le'er from the boatman's hand.
The way back to Li's Mansion was to walk back, Old Madam Li brought a lot of attendants and maids, and the sedan chair and carriage were also the best, but he just didn't want to sit, and walked faster than anyone else with Le'er, Gu Wei glanced at Old Madam Li, and trotted to follow Li Shun.
He was sullen and didn't want to speak, so Gu Wei closed his mouth and made a saw gourd that couldn't speak, and occasionally looked at him with a sideways face, and what he got was always a sentence, "Don't worry, my brother is fine." ”
After today, everything will be fine, everything, will be fine.
Gu Wei didn't understand the antecedents and didn't know the subtleties, so he had to listen to his words, nodded obediently, and believed that he would be fine.
The details of all these things, Gu Wai knew all that night.
At that time, she was in the house with a fire teasing the teething Le'er, outside the window was a little snow falling from the sky, the window was small open, there was a gust of cold wind blowing through the curtain and seeping into the house, she was afraid of freezing Le'er so she got up from the carpet, walked to the bedside, and just helped the wooden coffin with her hand, she heard the sound of crying and screaming for mercy coming from the white garden in the front yard.
She immediately took off the wooden coffin, closed the window tightly, and looked back at Le Er in shock, and saw that she was still sitting quietly on the carpet playing with her fleshy hands, and was not frightened by the sharp sound at all.
She sat down, looked at the window, and was secretly stunned, in fact, this matter is really simple to explain, but it is just that the desire is not nourished and satisfied, and evil thoughts are born.
If you want it, you will suffer, and if you don't want it, you will be strong. I want to give birth to all kinds of troubles, and I want to suffer for life. Greed is like water, it can moisten life and death, and all sentient beings are righteous with desire.
"Amitabha." She closed her eyes and whispered, she was asking for forgiveness for this Third Mrs. Li, and it was also a blessing for Li Shun.
Integrating the chatter of the maids and servants of the Li Mansion in the past few days, plus what they saw and suffered in the barren forest, it is not difficult to deduce that Li Shun has been very pitiful over the years.
The death of his biological mother made his father, who was originally treated as lenient, instantly hateful, shouting that he only felt that he killed his beloved woman, cold, hostile, and finally, he married a stepfamily, completely occupied his mother's position, on the night of the wedding, ten-year-old Li Shun, with a long sword, broke into the door, split a room of red silk, and pointed at the neck of the new lady.
"Doesn't the father hate his son for hurting his mother, doesn't he like his mother the most? Now, this woman, wearing wedding dresses and wedding makeup, what is it to stay in this Pujia Garden? ”
And the man who stood there in his wedding dress was also standing there, holding an undrunk glass of wine in his hand, at the moment when Li Shunjian stabbed over, he spilled half a cup, he pulled the woman behind him, facing him, as indifferent as ever, "Come on, tie up this rebel, I don't know filial piety at a young age, I dare to kill my father with a sword, it's really bold, since I can't look down on this, then send it to Duyun Mountain, when I will learn it well, and when I will be allowed to come back." ”
There is a good little guy, I can't control my mouth, and asks, "Did you send the little boy overnight?" ”
The man flicked his sleeves, took the woman's hand and walked away, without giving him another look.
In this way, against the cold wind and cold rain, the carriage and horses abandoned the ten-year-old him to Duyun Mountain, Li Mansion, his maternal grandfather's house.
There are many people in the Li Mansion, and there are more children and grandchildren, but Mrs. Li favors Li Shun alone, and people's greed and jealousy never distinguish between age and age.
Day by day, it was all the indifference of the day before the race.
Later, Gu Wei asked him, Mrs. Li was very fond of him at the beginning, even if he fought, he would always be the one who helped to believe in it, and in Mrs. Li, he didn't have to worry about being disbelieved, but why didn't he sue later?
At that time, Li Shun's answer was, "How long can a person protect a person?" Now, I can rely on my grandmother, but what can I do if she is gone? ”
As always, she coquettishly promised, "How long, An'er doesn't know, but as long as you get along for a day, An'er will always protect her brother, even if she leaves, in front of the Buddha, she will also pray for her brother to pray for her blessings, praying that the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas can protect her brother more." ”
But in fact, in the later story, Gu Wei knew that he would no longer bother the truth of the complaint and deliberately alienation, what was the fear, it was just that someone saw Mrs. Li's partiality, and scattered rumors in the street market.
He coincidentally listened to it, thinking that he could no longer let the people who liked him suffer and suffer, so he gradually became what he is now.
It is precisely because of this that after Mrs. Li San abandoned him in Duyun Mountain, even if he was old, even if he had surplus food to satisfy his hunger, he didn't want to live anymore, he always felt that he was a burden, harming his mother and Mrs. Li, fortunately, at that time, he met Gu Wai.
The doll who loves to be coquettish and begging is attached to him and pesters him every word.
"What is An'er thinking?" When Li avoided the curtain and entered, what he saw was her stupid look, and he didn't even react when Le'er was about to climb out of the carpet, he picked up Le'er, sat beside her, and asked, "What are you thinking?" is so distracted, didn't you say that you want to teach Le'er to speak? How's it going! ”
"Huh?" She patted her head, "Hey, hey," smiled, and said "forgot." ”
Li Shun put Le'er on An'er's lap, "Then let's start teaching now!" ”
"Babbling,,,ahahah,,,," stretched out her hand with lotus root meatballs, and Le'er greeted her twice, as if she understood their words, which made Gu cry funny.
She lifted her up and said to Li Shun, "Brother, look, Xiao Le'er is smiling?" ”
"Come, Xiao Le'er, call sister, sister."
Le'er winked at her, looking ignorant, and after listening to her repeat a few times, finally, she opened her mouth, "Feet, jo ,,,"
"No, no," Gu Wei shook his head repeatedly, "Yes, jie,,,,jie,"
“jo,jo,jojo,,,,jojo,,,”
"No, it's sister-sister, it's not feet, alas, Le'er is good, call sister, sister will give you a rattle!"
Le'er was obviously not very interested in the rattle, tilted her head, stretched out her arm towards Li Shun and babbled to him to hug her, even if Le'er couldn't learn it even if she taught it well, Gu Wai returned her to Li Shun in a deflated manner, and sat aside with a pout.
The index finger touched the ground, looked at her crookedly, tilted his head, and asked Li Shundao, "Brother Huaishu, do you think An'er is very stupid!" ”
He curled his lips and smiled, "There is a precedence in hearing the Tao, and there are specialists in the art industry, An'er, she is already very smart." ”
"Gollum—" Gu Wei covered his stomach and shrugged his shoulders, "Brother, An'er is hungry." ”
"Okay, brother, I'll ask someone to bring food, what does An'er want to eat?"
She thought about it for a long time, and said, "Anything is fine, as long as you can eat with your brother." ”
He touched her head with a smile, "Okay, then today An'er also sees her brother's ability, so I will make flat food for An'er to eat." ”
"Flat food? What is that! ”
Li Shun smiled and didn't look back at the crying question, just said that she would know if she ate it.
Gu Wei sat on the chair with Le'er in his arms, poked his head out of the door and looked out for a while before he saw Li Yu entering the house with a group of maids and maids carrying large pots and bowls. She hurriedly sat up, walked up to him with Le'er in her arms, looked at the pile of bowls and white noodles, and asked curiously, "This is flat food?" How is this the case? ”
He saw Gu Wei move his shoulders, hurriedly took Le'er from her hand, and instructed the maid to put a tool on the table.
Pour water, mix the noodles, mix and trap, after the maid finished all the preparations, she withdrew from the house with vision, Li Shun returned Le'er to Gu Wai, rolled up his sleeves and cleaned his hands, twisted up the dough and supported it, scooped up a spoonful of minced meatballs and stuffed it inside, dipped it in water and pressed, and a bulging flat food appeared in front of Gu Wai.
