Chapter 31 Once upon a time there was a man

"Once upon a time, there was a man who, one day, was herding cattle, and met a beautiful tea-picking girl, so he fell in love with that girl."

"Then he went through a lot of hardships and finally found out about the home of the tea-picking girl, who lived in a small village far, far away, and was separated from his village by many, many mountains."

"He was very distressed, because he was so far away, according to local custom, he could not marry her."

"Then he sold the cattle, sold everything he could, bought books, studied hard, and finally he passed the examination and became an official."

"He returned to his hometown, rode a tall horse, and came to the girl's village, wanting to come to the door to propose."

But when he knocked on the girl's house, it was a child who opened the door.

"The little boy said, 'My mom she's not at home, she's gone to the market with my dad to buy seeds.'" ”

"He was very angry, he was hit, so he told his men to do whatever they could, and they destroyed everything they could in the girl's house, and they took her children away, and finally set fire to her house."

"The people in the village were scared because he was an official and didn't dare to go up and stop him."

"When the girl and her husband returned home, they found that their home was gone, only ashes remained, and the child was gone.

"The surrounding villagers said that before leaving, the official said that he wanted her child, so he took the letter of resignation to a place to find him."

"The girl's husband wrote a letter of divorce in pain, and the girl shed tears all the way and found the place, where he was waiting for her with someone, and when she came, he was very happy, because the person he liked came, and now he is a husbandless woman."

"He confessed to the girl, he said that he had achieved fame for her, and he wanted to be able to marry her, so he did everything that was so mad."

"The girl cried even more sadly, and she said, 'Is this what you say you like, you are the most selfish, childlike like.' ”

"True liking should be similar to love, and the ability to hope to make the other person happy. And love is different, if you love someone, you will be happy because she is having a good time, whether she is with yourself or not. ”

"So, if that person really likes that girl, he shouldn't do such a selfish and heartless thing, but he should be happy, because that girl has a very happy home, a very cute child, and she is very happy and happy, isn't that great?"

"But when the man heard the girl say that he was selfish, he was furious and asked his men to tie her up, and he forcibly insulted the girl, so he was satisfied and let the girl and her child go back."

"At the end of the story, the girl sent the child to her husband, and jumped into a big river outside the village in tears, and the man also sued the yamen because his men could not see it, and he was punished to commit suicide by throwing himself into the river, and went to find the girl to make amends."

When Du Ruo woke up hazy from his sleep, it was already dawn, and the sunlight poured in from the window, shining on his face, which was a little dazzling.

"My head hurts...... Du Ruo finally sat up with his head propped up, his brain seemed to explode, and it hurt badly.

"How could you have such a strange dream last night...... It's like you're listening to a story. ”

Du Ruo looked at his phone, it was already eleven o'clock at noon, Du Ruo endured his dizziness, got off the bed, and walked out of the door.

Lin Youlan was eating apples on the sofa and watching TV, when she heard Du Ruo opening the door, she smiled and said, "Oh? Are you awake? Hungry? I'll cook for you? ”

Du Ruo looked at her in surprise and got up and walked to the kitchen: "You can also cook?" ”

"Hmph, of course." Lin Youlan glanced at him dissatisfied.

"I have a headache." Du Ruo leaned on the table and sat on the sofa.

"Who made you drink so much last night? Can the head not hurt? Lin Youlan looked gloating.

Du Ruo was thirsty, picked up the apple on the table that Lin Youlan hadn't finished eating and took a bite, and said helplessly: "No way, your father is too enthusiastic, he keeps letting me drink, and when I get to the back, I basically break it, I don't know what happened behind me, I woke up and lay in bed." ”

"Man!" Lin Youlan complained a little aggrieved, "Don't drink so much if you can't drink too much, do you know how hard people worked to move you and my dad to bed last night?" You don't forget it, it's not very fat, you look at my dad's beer belly...... If you're going to be like that in the future...... I don't even know how my mom got used to him. ”

"Hehe......" Du Ruo couldn't refute what he said, so he had to smile wryly.

Soon, a bowl of hot noodles was brought to the kitchen table, and Lin Youlan knocked on the corner of the table with chopsticks: "It's time to eat, Du Ruo's child!" ”

"Little friend? Who do you say, little friend? Du Ruo jumped off the sofa in a huff, "I won't eat, there are no children here!" ”

"Then don't eat it, it's okay to be hungry." Lin Youlan put the chopsticks aside with a smile and sat aside to play with her mobile phone.

……

"How? Is it tasty? Lin Youlan held her chin with both hands and looked at Du Ruo with a smile.

"It smells so good!" Du Ruo praised while eating, Lin Youlan's craftsmanship is indeed good.

"Hee-hee, then eat more, eat slowly! Really, is there anyone to rob you! ”

Du Ruo smiled, such a warm picture is touching enough.

"Hiccup." Du Ruo unceremoniously touched his stomach and burped, and Lin Youlan laughed.

"Don't you even want to be in front of me?"

"No, just eat your stomach." Du Ruo smiled, "Okay, I should go back too." ”

Lin Youlan was stunned for a moment, then took his hand and said pitifully: "Don't go, my parents won't come home at night today, I'm afraid of ...... alone."

"Also, I like the way it is now, as if we are husband and wife, this kind of life is really good." Lin Youlan said wistfully,

"Your parents aren't at home...... Then I'm not a good fit here, right? Du Ruo scratched his head, still feeling that it was not appropriate.

Lin Youlan's eyebrows raised and she patted the case: "Do you want to stay!?" ”

"It's too dangerous for you to be alone, I'd better stay and protect you, and have another meal by the way......"

"Well, let's go brush the dishes."

Du Ruo drooped her head, cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks and went to wash the dishes, while Lin Youlan continued to watch her TV with a smile, and saw that the apple she had just eaten was already lying in the trash with the apple core left, blushing, and picking up an apple again.

"Come on, I'll give you half an apple to eat after washing!" Lin Youlan shouted into the kitchen.

"Not uncommon!" Du Ruo's dissatisfied voice came out, and Lin Youlan smiled even more happily.

……

As the night fell silently, the busy people of the city were finally able to take a breather and return to the warmth of their homes, take a shower, and live a peaceful night again.

But for Du Ruo, it is not very stable after taking a bath.

The sound ......of water from the bathroom made him feel distracted, and he pinched his thigh hard, then picked up his phone and opened the game, trying to distract himself.

"Huh? I forgot to bring my pajamas in, Du Ruo, help me get them! Lin Youlan's voice came, and Du Ruo almost jumped up when she heard the three words of the child, but when she thought that she had found a strong girlfriend, she thought about it and admitted it, and obediently went to her room to find the pajamas and put them on the shelf at the door of the bathroom.

"I ...... I'll put it here, you take it yourself......" Du Ruo swallowed his saliva, and then hurriedly fled the scene.

"Why is this bathroom so close to the bedroom......" Du Ruo shook his head helplessly.

Finally, Lin Youlan walked out of the bathroom in her pajamas, and Du Ruocai breathed a sigh of relief, but the next moment his door was opened.

"What are you doing? If you don't go to your room and sleep, come to me, don't do anything to me. Du Ruo spoke first, Lin Youlan crossed her waist and glared at him: "Don't do anything to me!" Besides, this home is my place, and I can go wherever I want! ”

……

Late at night, the two finally became a little sleepy after a period of playing.

"Du Ruo, can I tell you a story?"

"No, I'm going to sleep."

"I tell you stories to put you to sleep, but you still don't listen? Do you listen? Lin Youlan suddenly became fierce.

"Listen...... They all said don't treat me as a child! ”

"Hee-hee, then listen up."

"Once upon a time there was a man ......"

"Herding cows?"

"Huh? How do you know? ”

"Did you tell me last night......

"Huh? You were so drunk at the time, you had to pester me to tell you a story before you could sleep, Du Ruo, little friend, so I told you, but you were about to pass out at the time, can you still remember the story I told? ”

"Who said I was drunk? I pretended it last night! ”

"Really......"

"Hmm."

"Alright then, I'll tell you another story. Once upon a time there was a man who was herding sheep one day......"
