Su Wanyan looked at the direction where the merchant had gone, and when she turned around, she saw that Xiao Duxue had dragged Yao Mubai under the old pear tree, pointed to the fruit on the high place and said that she would give the biggest one to her brother to eat. I don't know what Yao Mubai said, Xiao Duxue laughed and screamed happily. She counted the pears carefully before walking away from under the tree, shouting for Yao Mubai to play with her. She has a lot of ideas and a variety of ways to play. Yao Mubai is extremely patient, no matter how she is at her mercy, she cooperates with a smile.

That night, after the two children fell asleep, the adults of the Su family discussed and decided: adopt Yao Mubai! After the summer vacation, let him go back to school to continue his education until he wanted to leave.

Yao Mubai's appearance did not attract much attention. The Su family adopted him, and only a few close relatives came to the door to ask a few words before giving up. There are more people than the Su family, and now everyone is more concerned about where to find water sources. When people stopped worrying about water and had the leisure to gossip, it was a few years later. I met someone who was not very common with Yao Mubai and asked, "Whose child are you?" Good noodles. Immediately, someone said: "Look at your memory of being eaten by dogs, isn't this the child adopted by Dr. Su's family!" The questioner had a look of sudden realization.

Everything is settled.

One night, when it was the turn of the Su family, they lined up in the middle of the night to get water, but a patient came to the house, and the three adults couldn't get out. Su Wanyan called Yao Mubai: "You take your sister to line up first, and my aunt will go to you when she is done." She took out the basket, folded a plastic bag about two millimeters thick, which could hold two six- or seven-year-old children, put it with the bucket, and gave him a flashlight: "When it's our turn, if you have water, you can put it on first." Remember, safety comes first. ”

Yao Mubai picked up the basket and called Xiao Duxue, who was playing with sandbags: "You change into a pair of shoes that are good for climbing." ”

After changing her shoes, Xiao Duxue looked at the shoelaces and was worried. Yao Mubai touched her head and helped tie the shoelaces: "These shoelaces always love to be scattered, and I will weave them for you when I come back, so you don't have to step on dirty." ”

Xiao Duxue knocked the tip of her shoe on the ground: "It should have been like this a long time ago." ”

Yao Mubai pointed to the upper of the shoe that had knocked out a small hole and said, "How many times have you said it, why can't you change the problem of your shoes?" The shoes have been worn for less than a week, and they are torn again, and in a few days it will be time to ask my aunt to buy you new shoes. ”

Xiao Duxue wrinkled her nose: "I'll knock!" You have to take care of it! ”

Yao Mubai didn't reply, took her hand and left, and turned back as soon as she arrived at the gate of the courtyard: "Auntie, it's cold in the mountains at night, and there are mosquitoes, why don't you change your sister's long clothes and trousers?" ”

"Or you're careful, I'm too busy to forget. Twilight, Mom doesn't have time right now, you go find your own clothes to change into. ”

Xiao Duxue agreed, but her hand unhonestly tugged at Yao Mubai's sleeve: "Brother, can you help Xue'er find clothes?" Cher is so tired today that she doesn't want to climb the stairs anymore. ”

Yao Mubai said with a tense face: "Since you are already so tired, how will you climb the mountain later?" Then you stay at home and sleep, I'll go by myself. ”

Xiao Duxue was anxious: "How can that be?" I'm going to go with my brother to see the moon. ”

"You can also watch the moon at home. Why do you have to run so far? Still so tired. ”

"The moon you see when you climb high is different."

"Then why don't you go and find clothes? I don't have time to grind with you. ”

"Don't! I want my brother to help me find it, I want it! Xiao Duxue pursed her lips and reached out to wrap her arms around Yao Mubai's waist. Yao Mubai's heart softened: "Okay, okay, I'll find it for you." ”

Su Wanyan's voice floated from the pharmacy: "Mu Bai, you can't always be so used to her, let her go by herself." ”

Yao Mubai pretended not to hear, went up to the attic with a smoke, and looked for a set of blue clothes with ease: "How about this?" It's beautiful. ”

Xiao Duxue picked up the clothes and gestured on her chest, and said reluctantly: "Okay, then let's do it!" ”

Yao Mubai tugged at her pigtails: "Little ghost!" ”

Xiao Duxue grimaced: "Hurry up, go quickly, if you don't leave, my mother will nag again." ”

The two held hands and went out by moonlight. On the way, Xiao Duxue chattered non-stop, Yao Mubai answered her words in her mouth, and her eyes helped her look at the ground, for fear of falling.

In order to facilitate the use of water, the two sides of the mountain road are still overgrown with vegetation. The trees that had not been cut down for many years were impermeable to the wind, and could only squeeze in a few bits of pale white moonlight. It was dark all around, there was not a hint of wind, and the sound of insects was particularly loud. From time to time, small animals scurry around, causing people to reverie infinitely. Is it a snake, a fox, or a rat? No one knows. As a result, there were more white ladies under Leifeng Pagoda, fox fairies who accompanied scholars to read at night, and golden-nosed white-haired rat spirits in Journey to the West.

Before they knew it, the two had arrived at the well where they were getting water. The wall of this stone well is of hard rock, and the spring is on the side of the bottom of the well, and the water is bubbling up. The platform is newly paved with stone and is carved with beautiful patterns. Directly above the wellhead is a wooden roof supported by four pillars, and the top is covered with green tiles. The grass within three meters of the well was stripped and removed, and three stone platforms of different heights were built in suitable places for the baskets to be carried by people on their backs.

The person who has finished filling the water is piercing the mouth of the water bag so that the water does not overflow. When I saw the brother and sister, I casually told me a few words and went down the mountain. Such mountains and forests, such nights, and such simple folk customs are not dangerous to worry about.

As soon as Yao Mubai put down the back basket, Xiao Duxue was already lying on the edge of the well to see the depth of the water: "Brother, Uncle scooped the water too clean just now!" We'll have to wait today! ”

"Then wait slowly, it's useless to be in a hurry. If you are sleepy, come and sleep in my arms. ”

"I'm not sleepy right now."

"If you're not sleepy, just play. Why don't you change your clothes first? ”

"No, wait a minute." Twilight climbed the rocks and began to count the stars.

Yao Mubai lay on the grass next to the stone, looking at the moon in a daze. A white shadow swooped out of the grass, and he sat up in fright: "Dead white!" ”

Xiao Duxue giggled, "My great white, I told you not to scare him anymore." He's a coward. Dabai plunged into her arms, snoring and rubbing around. You guy, you haven't been home for a few days, where have you gone? Dabai licked her face and crawled onto her shoulder and squatted, which was its favorite way to rest.

At this time, the stars are shining, the moon is shining, and the air is clear. A little girl in a plain white dress with picturesque eyebrows stands on a high mountain rock, looking up at the starry sky. The mountain breeze blew her long hair, blowing her like a weightless feather and like a petal. The white cat was like a fairy guarding her, its round eyes shining with a mysterious and cool light. In a trance, everything is silent, and only this one person and a cat are walking in the wind.

This picture is so beautiful! Yao Mubai was stunned!

"Who are you?" A childish but slightly haughty voice came from the thatch nearby. Immediately, a little boy with his head covered in grass came out. He looked at Xiao Duxue in the heights, his eyes were clear.

"Who are you?" Xiao Duxue's drooping gaze was also very arrogant, "Why haven't I seen you?" ”

"Tell me who you are first, and I'll tell you who I am."

The corners of Xiao Duxue's mouth sank, and she raised her eyes to the sky.

Yao Mubai dragged a few blades of grass to cover his eyes, and listened to the two bickering.

The little boy stubbornly asked, "Who are you?" I want to know who you are. ”

Xiao Duxue lowered her head, and the eyebrows that were pressed together were full of the annoyance of being disturbed.

The little boy raised his eyebrows and said loudly: "My name is Ye Hanchuan." ”

"The cold river is full of snow, and the frozen pool is gradually flowing?"

Ye Hanchuan condensed slightly: "No, it's 'the moonlit night of Lang Lang, and the song moves Hanchuan." ’”

"My name is Xiao Duxue."

"Twilight?" Spring clouds are cold and birds are gone, and flowers and rain have turned into snow'? ”

'Wrong!' The breeze is far away, and the twilight snow is deep in the corridor'. How did you get here alone? No one to accompany you? ”

"I'm playing with someone else, and my grandfather will be here right away."

"Who is your grandfather?"

Yao Mubai said: "His grandfather is the old village chief. Once we met on the road, my aunt told me. ”

Ye Hanchuan said, "Well, I've seen you. ”

Xiao Duxue became happy: "You are the grandson of the village chief's grandfather, so we can play together in the future?" ”

Ye Hanchuan also smiled: "It should be possible." I live at my grandfather's house. ”

"You're not going back to your home?"

"Yes. My mom is going to go out to do business, and I'll be with my grandparents in the future. ”

"That's great!" Xiao Duxue hugged Da Bai and slipped off the stone, "This is my brother, Mu Bai." It was hard to say whether it was unintentional or intentional, and she omitted the last name.

Ye Hanchuan didn't care: "Why are you going?" ”

Xiao Duxue walked towards the well: "Look at the water." ”

Yao Mubai smiled: "You play with yours, who wants you to worry about it?" ”

Xiao Duxue watched it for a long time before she said sullenly: "It's so stingy! It's just a little bit of flow! ”

"Yes, that's good, you still hate this and that. Are you sleepy? Come over when you're sleepy, I'll hold you. ”

Xiao Duxue rubbed her eyes, tilted into Yao Mubai's arms, twisted and adjusted her posture for a long time, yawned and said, "Ye Hanchuan, see you tomorrow." With that, he fell into a deep sleep.

Yao Mubai hid Xiao Duxue's face in her shadow, tidied up her wind-blown forehead hair very gently, and quietly covered her with a coat, straightening her back and sitting upright like a statue.

Ye Hanchuan also stopped talking, and found a place where the grass was thicker to lie down.

In the middle of the moon, the wind was stronger than just now. In the thatched grass of two people, the little ones who like nightlife are wandering around. The night in the mountain village was not deserted by drought. Those wonderful creatures are still stubbornly growing, and they will be radiant again when they are irrigated by a rain.

In her sleep, Xiao Duxue laughed out loud. The laughter was so crisp, so innocent, that it was a stirring in the ears of the two sleepless people.

This night is even more charming!

PS: Probably all girls want a brother with the same style as Yao Mubai! Gentle, considerate, and quietly pampering yourself. Well, someone's brother never disappoints us.
