A Thousand Thousand Knots: Volume 6 A Thousand Thousand Knots: Chapter 37: When the Jasmine Blossoms

"I'm going to see that stingy guy, you go eat dates. Be well-behaved! Xiao Duxue came behind Yao Mubai, lay on his back and said, "Really ignore me?" You're back to school tomorrow, and you still have time to be angry with me? Your brother is so ruthless! ”

"How can I be angry when I have wronged people again?"

Xiao Duxue pouted and said, "What else is angry?" You almost scared my soul away. She dismantled her hair and messed it up, "Punish you for helping me tie my hair back up." ”

"With such long hair and injured hands, what should I do when I'm away?"

"so much, you're not tired? Anyway, you're going to have to give me a very, very nice haircut today. Otherwise, I wouldn't be happy. ”

"You! It's like a human spirit. Stand up. ”

Xiao Duxue immediately stood up straight: "I'll come back early in the evening." You wait for me. ”

"I'll make mapo tofu for you."

Xiao Duxue smashed her mouth cooperatively, as if she was too hungry to do it.

Yao Mubai smiled, and the restlessness in his heart lingered.

The beautiful hairstyle was formed, Xiao Duxue was very happy, and happily went to the party.

At night, everything is silent. The moonlight shone on the earth, and everything was clothed in silver. Wild buckwheat and wild jasmine are as white as frost and the other as snow, and at a glance, it seems that the frost and snow that have not had time to melt are piled up in the field at will. The sweet and greasy fragrance of wild jasmine implies the sweet fragrance of buckwheat, and when the two aromas are fused, it is another kind of sweetness that is suitable for intoxication.

Yao Mubai and Xiao Duxue walked hand in hand on the ridge, didn't talk much, just walked unhurriedly. They have no destination, they just want to walk hand in hand, all the way to the ends of the earth.

"Brother......" Xiao Duxue's voice was a little lazy, "When will you come back?" ”

"Soon." Yao Mubai plucked a jasmine flower and inserted it on her sideburns, "The next time the jasmine blooms, I will come back and come back for your graduation ceremony." He looked at the white chrysanthemum on her head, full of sadness. You have to take care of yourself and don't worry me. ”

"Hmm. I will study hard and get into the university you went to, and I will go there to find traces of your life. ”

"Then you're going to have to do it! When you come to my city, we can live together. Don't let me down! I'll wait for you! Yao Mubai took out a pair of sterling silver earrings of the cross and put them in Xiao Duxue's palm, "I don't have anything long, this is my most valuable thing, you take good care of it for me." When I say goodbye, I'll put it on for you with my own hands. ”

"Are you sure you want to give it to me?" Xiao Duxue's face was full of shame, "Otherwise, you should keep it yourself." ”

"Are you going to reject me?"

"I just don't want you to regret it in the future."

"How so?" Yao Mubai cupped her face and gazed affectionately, "You are the purest and most beautiful dream in my life." I'm willing to give everything for you! ”

Xiao Duxue smiled with tears: "My heart is the same!" She wrapped her arms around Yao Mubai's waist and snuggled up to his chest, remembering the beauty of this moment.

Young boys and girls who are in love for the first time weave sweet dreams under the melting moonlight, praying that all their wishes can come true. On the way back, the jasmine flowers on Xiao Duxue's sideburns slipped quietly, leaving only a faint fragrance in her bun, which faded in time.

*********************************************************************************************************************************

After the summer vacation is over, autumn is here in the blink of an eye.

Xiao Duxue sat on the bed wrapped in a quilt, staring out the window in a daze. She had just returned from Qiaohe Middle School, and the feeling of motion sickness had not completely disappeared. What to do to distract yourself? Reading? Unreliable; Go to bed? Can't sleep; Wash clothes? It's raining; Tidy up your room? Don't. What else can be done? Nothing. It's better to go to school, why do you have a monthly vacation! I can't go home, it's a waste of my life to stay like this. I should have listened to my mother's words and stayed with her for one night, so I could have more time to learn flower arrangement from my master. She is whimsical and cranky, from the chivalrous heroine who is righteous and happy to take revenge, to the predator who walks on the wall and has outstanding martial arts, and then to the fairy monster who flies away and is in charge of life and death...... She kept switching identities, weaving plots at will, and rolling in bed happily. Suddenly, I remembered that Yao Mengya said that the fried sauce noodle restaurant in the back street is good, the shopkeeper is popular, and the taste of the noodles is also excellent. It's better to try it now, which not only solves the dinner but also satisfies the cravings, and you can also blow the wind and listen to the rain and see the scenery. Kill more than one stone, handsome! She threw away the quilt and said she would leave.

The rain is dense, accompanied by wisps of breeze, slightly cool. The leaves are fading green, staining the edges pale yellow. The moon season is still open, but without the flowers and leaves of spring and summer, it is gradually showing a decline. On the side of the road outside the fence wall, chrysanthemums bloomed early, and the long and narrow petals were like silky hooks and claws, curling towards the sky, like rising fireworks, dancing with the rhythm of autumn.

The backstreet is an unrenovated street, and the houses on the left and right sides maintain the original appearance of earthen walls and green tiles, wooden rafters and wooden windows. Day after day, the men and women who eat and drink have lived the days of smoke and fire with joy and contentment. The bluestone paved streets are not smooth, and when the rain is abundant, green moss grows in the potholes, one in the east and one in the west, such as the watercolor that is not evenly opened on the drawing board, which is very beautiful.

Malatang, barbecue, hot pot, and Chinese restaurants are sandwiched between this row of houses, and only a simple signboard is erected at the door, which can be regarded as a guide for diners. Jajanjang noodle restaurant is no exception.

Xiao Duxue asked for a bowl of fried noodles and sat down by the window, observing the pedestrians coming and going.

"Girl, it's raining in that place, you sit inside." The owner of the noodle shop greeted him warmly, "Don't get your clothes wet." ”

"It's okay, I like to sit here. From here, you can see the skewer shop diagonally opposite, and I want to see what his skewers have. ”

"The skewers taste good, I just ate them last night. Especially that Xuewang, the taste is simply amazing! I still want to eat after eating, and I am addicted. ”

"Really? Then I'll try it another day. ”

"His business is good, you have to come early. When it was late, there was no place to sit, so I had to eat standing up. ”

"As long as it tastes good, it's okay to eat it standing up."

"The girl is a student? I've been open for years, and this is the first time I've seen you. ”

"I studied at Lingyun Middle School." Xiao Duxue took a pair of chopsticks to play, "I heard that the noodles made by the uncle are delicious, so I came here to try them today." ”

"Thank you, girl, for your face." The owner of the noodle shop poured out the watered noodles, evenly poured the golden meat sauce and miso soup, and sprinkled some coriander before serving it to the table, "Taste it, if the meat sauce is not strong enough, I will pour you some more." ”

"That's good...... Wow, it smells so good! ”

"It's good if the girl is satisfied." The owner of the noodle restaurant rolled the noodles while making homely dishes, "It is said that all the students in Lingyun Middle School are good seedlings for the university entrance examination, but I don't think so." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Xiao Duxue thought to herself, this noodle is really delicious, and it is not in vain that I made a special trip. "Uncle also has children studying in Lingyun Middle School?"

"My uncompetitive son has long since stopped studying and went out to work. As the saying goes, the master leads the way in, and the cultivation depends on the individual. My son used to have good grades, but then he didn't do well and learned badly from others. ”

Xiao Duxue has never known how to comfort people, so she just buries her head in eating noodles.

The owner of the noodle restaurant threw the noodles out of a snapping sound: "This reform and opening up is good, I make more money, and my life is better." But the wind of this world is declining. Our generation is not in a good time, with less reading and more illiteracy. But we are thoughtful and courteous to people and things, and we are sincere and humble with each other. If the tempers of the two parties do not get along, the cat walks the cat's path, the dog walks the dog's path, and makes a nodding friend, trying not to hurt the harmony. But you see that today's young people are rich in knowledge, but they are not as measured as those of us who are rough people. If you don't say the right word, you will be scolded at least and beaten at worst. How can there be a little accommodation and tolerance? Therefore, this person should not only look at how many books he has read, but also look at his conduct and cultivation. ”

"Why is the uncle so emotional? Did you think of something, or did you see something? ”

The owner of the noodle shop pointed to the skewer shop with a rolling pin: "A few minutes ago, a group of people quarreled over a position, and finally made an appointment to go to the peach blossom forest behind the street. Tell me, how big is that? Can't you talk about it? I have to fight you to the death. ”

"No matter what era it is, there are people who advocate force, and uncles don't like to stay away from them. One day, they will understand that disputes cannot be resolved by fists, and that knowledge and brains are the kings of victory. ”

This is true. It's a pity that I was a kid who looked like a talent, and wasted that good skin in vain. ”

"In addition to the gold and jade, the uncle should have seen a lot of people in it. Why do you feel sorry for him alone? ”

"I heard from the people who eat, that kid is the top student in the liberal arts class of your Lingyun Middle School."

Xiao Duxue was stunned: "What's his name?" ”

"Like...... It seems that I heard others call him Ye Hanchuan? That's right, it's called Ye Hanchuan. ”

The noodles on the chopsticks fell into the bowl. Xiao Duxue put aside the green coriander and put the noodles into her mouth again: "I haven't heard of this person." Who else was with him? ”

"It's a tall, imposing young man, who doesn't look like a student but a teacher."

Teacher? Teacher Chu? Xiao Duxue was shocked. Her face choked in her throat, and she rolled her eyes.

The owner of the noodle restaurant brought a bowl of noodle soup: "This hand-rolled gluten is chewy, eat it slowly." ”

Xiao Duxue didn't have the heart to drink the soup: "They really made an appointment in the Peach Blossom Forest?" ”

"How can this be fake? That's in the past. What about the two people who are so radiant and handsome, it's a pity! ”

The delicious noodles have tasted like chewing wax. Xiao Duxue finished settling the account and left the noodle shop and went straight to the peach blossom forest.
