Chapter 55: That Familiar Figure
I really don't know what Nan Zili likes about him, if he hadn't grown up together, maybe the two wouldn't have been able to get together.
Nan Zili shook his head helplessly, "No, no, you don't dislike it, this coarse tea and light rice are good." ”
"Why not? It's natural to give money for eating, besides, where can you eat outside of your cooking skills? Nan Junyu hurriedly glared at Nan Zili.
"He's right, gotta give it." Ling Mo said approvingly, besides, she also wanted to help them.
Nan Junyu recovered and warmly invited Ling Mo to eat together.
This made Ling Mo inexplicably think of seeing money, in short, there is a world of difference between having money and not having money.
Ling Mo was already hungry for a table of good dishes, and he couldn't bear it anymore at this time.
Just then, suddenly there was a knock on the door outside.
"Brother Yu, we don't know the trap in the mountains, it seems that we have caught something, let's go back and take a look, as long as we do it, we will send it." At the door, a big-shouldered and round-waisted Orion said a little excitedly.
"Really? Two cows. Nan Junyu suddenly stood up and asked with some excitement.
Nan Junyu looked at the dining table and hesitated.
"I'm eating, I'm not going, I'm not going, it's probably a wild boar or something, you can go and see it yourself, I won't go." He shook his head decisively.
"Don't, Brother Yu." Erniu approached Nan Junyu and whispered something.
Nan Junyu hesitated again.
"I'll eat first, and I'll go over after eating."
"This ...... Then I'll go check it out first, you must come later. After saying that, the two bulls didn't look back, and ran to the other side of the mountain.
Nan Junyu returned to the table in a flash, sat down again, and kept babbling in his mouth.
"I've done so many traps, I've lived so many times, maybe it's been in vain this time, where is the mountain goods of 100 taels so easy to get, maybe this time, alas, forget it, let's eat, no matter what."
"Poof!" Nan Zili covered his mouth and chuckled.
"Brother, I know you want to go and see, if you want to go, go buy food, and come back to eat." Nan Zili looked at him and persuaded him.
"How can there be such a coincidence, eat and eat." Nan Junyu picked up some dishes with chopsticks and ate a few bites of rice.
"I've said it so many times, maybe it's true this time." Nan Zili said with a smile.
"If you think so too, then I'll go over and see it after dinner." Nan Junyu took a few gulps.
"Brother, you're worried about that side in your heart, you can't digest it if you eat too fast, go and see it first and then eat it when you come back, I'll keep the meal for you." Nan Zili said helplessly.
Nan Junyu seemed to be much more relaxed.
"That's okay, I'll go and see it now, if you really catch it, Erniu is enough to choke alone, if you run away and want to catch it again, it's difficult, you eat first, don't wait for me." Nan Junyu quickly put down his chopsticks, waved his hand, and stood up.
"Well, brother, let's go." Nan Zili nodded and urged him.
"Good!" After saying that, Nan Junyu chased Erniu to the place where he left and went to the mountains, and shed this table of good dishes.
It's just that after Nan Junyu left, Nan Zili also put down the dishes and chopsticks.
"Ling Mo, I'm really sorry, you eat first, I'll wait for my brother to come back."
"Aren't you hungry? He just said that you should eat first. Ling Mo sighed while taking a big gulp, not bad, but asked vaguely.
"It's okay, not very hungry." Nan Zili shook his head and didn't eat again.
"Why wait for him to come back?" Ling Mo was a little speechless.
"When I was a child, my mother told us that we should eat together as a family when we eat, and we used to eat together, but now I don't want to eat alone, and I don't want my brother to eat alone." After listening to Nan Zili's words, Ling Mo felt that it didn't seem good for her to eat like this.
"Okay, then let's wait for him to come back and eat." Ling Mo ate a few mouthfuls to fill her stomach before reluctantly putting down her chopsticks and saying.
"Ah, that's not good, it's going to starve you." Nan Zili said in surprise.
"I think that the heavens have sent me down, and I will starve his body and skin, and this little hunger is nothing." Ling Mo said with a righteous face, in fact, she had already eaten almost.
Nan Zili looked at her with a little crying and laughing.
Ling Mo thought silently, I don't know when there will be a person in this river and lake, waiting for you to come back and wait for a person, so having a waiting person may also be a kind of happiness.
The eyes of those who were in a daze suddenly darkened, and Ling Mo returned to the present, another piece of their past.
I saw Nan Zili again.
"I never gave away this secret book, but now I'll give it to you, as a thank you for witnessing our memories." Nan Zili took out an ancient cheats.
"Soul Eater." Ling Mo thanked him, read the cheats repeatedly, and after a while, he felt that the internal force that had been sealed had come back a little.
Suddenly, there was another wave of vertigo, "Does this feel like going back in time again?" ”
The drizzling rain made the turbid air clearer.
After all, you can still smell the smell of grass and dirt, and the streets seem to have become much deserted.
Hold an umbrella, walk in the rain, and listen to the sound of the rain hitting the umbrella.
Ling Mo bought an umbrella from an umbrella seller at a street stall, held a paper umbrella, and walked on the deserted street.
Unconsciously, Ling Mo walked outside Nanzi's brother and sister's house again.
What made her strange was that on such a rainy day, Nan Zili was not in the house.
Ling Mo could only walk aimlessly along the path in front of the door, only to see a familiar figure under the big tree in the distance.
Those pink clothes, holding a pink umbrella with peach blossoms on it, are particularly eye-catching in the gray world.
Nan Zili looked at his peach blossom umbrella and quietly looked into the distance under the tree.
Seeing that he seemed to be looking for someone, Ling Mo thought that if she was really looking for someone, that person must be Nan Junyu.
Ling Mo walked over slowly, and when she got closer, Nan Zili suddenly turned her head and was still startled when she found her.
"Hey, it's you." Nan Zili reacted and said with a smile.
"The umbrella is waiting for the rain, who are you waiting for?" Ling Mo asked as if she didn't know.
Nan Zili smiled bitterly and said, "I'm waiting for my brother, he is always troublesome and unwilling to bring an umbrella, but he is always wet."
"He's really at ease, and he's not at home when it's raining." Ling Mo looked at Nan Zili and shook her head helplessly, this stupid girl.
Nanzi smiled shallowly.
"My brother is busy outside every day, in order to make money to support the family, it is really not easy for him, I want him to be less rainy, I don't know where he is now, but I can always see him here from time to time."
"What about you? Are you also waiting for someone to show up on a rainy day? Nan Zili asked rhetorically.
"Maybe it's not ...... yet," Ling Mo thought for a moment, and seemed to be a figure, and shook his head again.
"Oh, is it? Here, I hope you can meet someone who can watch the rain with you, listen to the rain quietly, and your voices with each other. Nanzi smiled shallowly at the corner of her mouth.
It suddenly darkened in front of her, and Ling Mo returned to Kyoto again.
With a clear sky, Ling Mo followed Nan Zili's clues and came to the place where they once lived again.
Along the mountain road, the familiar figure appeared in front of him, still dressed in pink clothes staring into the distance.
Ling Mo rubbed her eyes vigorously, and found that this was not a dream, as if she heard a sound, she turned her head to look at Ling Mo, and a trace of joy flashed in her eyes.
And in the blink of an eye, it was replaced by a thick lingering sorrow.
"Sub...... Leave? Ling Mo called tentatively.
Hearing Ling Mo talking to him, her gloomy eyes brightened again.
"You're the only one who can see me, I thought no one would know about my existence, so I went down alone forever......"
A ...... alone went down, remembering when she first received Nan Zili's note, she remembered that this was probably the thing she was most afraid of.
From her words, from her story, she misses her brother so much, but the end of the world is close at hand, and yin and yang are forever separated.
But now that he has a chance to let his brother know about his existence, what if he tells Nan Junyu now.
Nan Zili didn't continue, silent as if he was thinking about something.
There was a loud noise in the distance, as if some child was being naughty again, kicking something that caused a crying noise.
Nan Zili was also attracted by this voice, turned his head to look in that direction, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously revealed a happy smile.
"That's Aunt Li's house, it should be the third baby, and I made your aunt angry, my brother often made my grandfather angry when he was a child, although he was taught a miserable lesson every time, but he was very happy, I will think of things when I was a child from time to time, if it weren't for my father and brother would have been happy to live happily."
When Nan Zili thought of this, his eyes were filled with deep sadness.
"Don't think about it so much, the past is long gone, and whatever happened, I believe you really went through it." Ling Mo looked at the girl in front of her and couldn't help but feel comforted.
"Is this really as beautiful as they say? Why did my brother and I go out for the first time and it became our last, isn't our rivers and lakes different? Why is it that others are the daughters of immortals, but my brother and I can only be separated by yin and yang? ”
Nan Zili seemed to think of the past again, immersed in memories, and seemed to be a little unable to extricate himself.
"The world is impermanent, and sometimes we can't meet the result, but what we are chasing with all our strength is the present moment of our life." Ling Mo actually didn't understand these things very well, so she could only instill some chicken soup for the soul into Nan Zili.
I don't know when it rained, but it started to rain again.
Ling Mo watched the rain pass through the peach blossoms, and the umbrella slid down on Nan Zili's body, splashing the water.
Ling Mo also held up the umbrella, and the moment she held up the umbrella, the scene in front of her reminded her of the girl who was waiting for Nan Junyu with an umbrella under the tree.
Speaking of the past, in fact, for Ling Mo, it was only ten minutes ago.
Nan Zili looked at Ling Mo holding an umbrella, covered his mouth and laughed secretly.
"You still look the same way you did when you held this umbrella."
Ling Mo had a question in her heart at this time.
"You...... Do you want to know how Nan Junyu is doing now? ”
Hearing this name, Nan Zili seemed to freeze, and felt that the speed of the raindrops became unusually slow.
"Brother...... Is he okay? Nan Zili seemed to have plucked up a lot of courage and asked softly.
"I heard that he fell seriously ill later, and then left the village to travel around, and I think he has seen a lot of different scenery."
Hearing Ling Mo say this, Nanzi's body from Jiangyin seemed to relax a little.
"He comes to see you every year, haven't you seen him?" Ling Mo remembered Nan Junyu's appearance, looked at Nan Zili and asked.
Nan Zili shook his head silently.
"I can't see it, maybe it's because he can't exist in my world after all, so ...... What about the Pavilion? With her with her brother, they must be very happy, right? Nan Zili turned his head and asked suddenly.
"Yue Lingxie, they are not together, your brother has always been alone."
"Brother......" Nan Zili muttered softly.
Heaven and Earth fell silent again, only the sound of raindrops still crackling.
In the distant house, Aunt Li dragged the three children into the house early, and the candlelight in the house came through the window, and from time to time there were a few children's laughter.
Nanzi looked into the distance from Zhengzheng, and the rain was still falling.
"Zili, come with me." Ling Mo interrupted the silence.
Nan Zili had never heard the rain still falling, and there was no sign of abating, and the rain had already wet his shoes unconsciously.
"Zili, shall we go?" Ling Mo spoke again.
Nan Zili was still immersed, and for Ling Mo's words, he only subconsciously moved his eyelashes.
I don't know how long I waited, but I felt that my legs were a little numb, my hand holding the umbrella was a little sore, and the rain was slowly getting smaller.
The rain finally stopped, the black clouds on the horizon slowly dissipated, and the sun came out.
Nan Zili turned around and looked into Ling Mo's eyes, as if he wanted to see her through.
"Thank you, it's been a long time since I had anyone with me."
"I also like rainy days, let me listen to the rain with you in the future, and go out with us to see the outside world." Ling Mo asked again.
Nan Zili fell into thinking again, but fortunately this time it was not too long.
"The outside world belongs to you, I'm scared and ......" Nan Zili stared into the distance with some uneasiness.
"No, not this time, with me, I also want to take you to meet your brother, although he may not see you."
"I guess I'm better off being alone, so I don't drag everyone else down." Nan Zili shook his head.
"But don't you want to see your brother again?" Ling Mo remembered that Nan Zili had such a deep affection for his brother, and he would definitely want to see him again.
"Yes, although he can't see me, and I can't see him, I still want to feel him again, can I trouble you again? Can you help me find a peach blossom umbrella? I want to make a new umbrella again. Suddenly, Nan Zili's eyes seemed to have a glow.
"Are you going to give it to me?" Ling Mo asked.
"If you don't dislike what I'm doing badly......" Nan Zili said softly.
"Of course not, I'll help you find it." Ling Mo quickly purchased the materials for making the umbrella.
Nan Zili made it seriously, and an hour later, a delicate and beautiful peach blossom umbrella came out of her hand.
"Thank you so much, besides my brother, you are the first person to be so good to me, if you can really see my brother, can you tell me?" Nan Zili gave the finished umbrella to Ling Mo and said.
"Of course!" Ling Mo happily agreed.
"It's really a bit like a hero, so let's be together in the future." Nan Zili happily agreed to her invitation.
After placing Nan Zili and Nan Junyu in Ling Mo's newly bought Yanyu Building, they rested for a day, and Ling Mo went out again the next day.
