Sycamore Fall Chapter 22. White plum reflecting snow

"Sister, I'm here, don't move!" He galloped to the dog's hut, which had been built to defend against thieves and was built on the slope of the road to the mountain, and the keeper was no longer the rhubarb she had taken care of, but the offspring of the tree from the neighboring village, named Dianhua.

There was a tearing ferocity in the dog's bark, and although the light was dim, its keen sense of smell was enough for it to recognize the stranger's location. It can be regarded as loyal, but the person who came from afar is not an outsider, it is Yining's own sister, and this kind of treatment should not be treated, so he hurriedly arrived at Banpo, lit the lamp and reprimanded this slightly irritable Xiao Huang.

"You dog! What are you yelling at, you don't even remember that she's my sister, you can still live on her, you ungrateful guy..."

Xu is sudden realization, it began to wagging its tail and begging for mercy, the dark eyelashes at the corners of its eyes trembled and gave birth to a few cloudy tears, the pity that was half kneeling made his heart soften, and he regretted saying so heavy words to it.

Before he could look back and greet the eldest sister that she was safe, he saw the eldest sister carrying a snakeskin bag at the door panting, she was as beautiful as she was back then, but the wind and air in the winter had wrinkled her skin a little, she was wearing a thick red cotton winter coat, a lot of scarves, hats, earmuffs, and was looking at his younger brother not far away, although he was silent for the time being, but the warm eyes had melted his heart.

"Why, I don't recognize my sister anymore..."She grinned, like the red narcissus in full bloom in front of the court, bright and fresh, and the snow gathered in the folds of her clothes, and she was a night returnee.

His depression over the years seemed to be opened by this greeting, pouring into her arms, "Sister, I miss you so much, why did you come back..." she stroked his head, patted his back to comfort, Xiao Huang barked breathlessly, as if he was not thinking simply.

The hug doesn't last long, and the hug doesn't last long, "Okay, don't cry, you're the only man in our family, it's cold, let's talk about it later..."

"This dog, is it a rhubarb..."

"This is Xiao Huang, its son..."

"It looks so similar, but it's a pity..."

The two said goodbye to it, the fire in the wood house was extinguished, and Xiao Huang had to continue its work, guarding it every night of good dreams. There are many people who have less dreams tonight, but they don't have to do their best, they can perceive the change of lights, and that is the jubilation of people. Although it had two meals safe, it was not a punishment for it to be trapped in this slightly dilapidated hut and lose the outside world, but rather a happy one. The occasional visit from others can make it extremely happy, fluttering its forearms and jumping high, showing that it has not lost its vitality, but it often says something difficult to understand, which may be about love and responsibility.

"Shi'an, Shi'an, my sister is back..."Before she could go up the stairs, she shouted her sister's name loudly, with the help of her brother, she no longer had to carry too many items, and her voice became powerful.

"Big sister? It's the eldest sister! She's back! Shi'an took Su Kite's hand and rushed out of the door, she hadn't seen her sister for a long time, this sudden call made her happy, she couldn't care about the cold, turned on the brightest light of the dam to greet, the snow came at an unknown moment for her, and they flew in this bright yellow light.

"Sister! I miss you so much, I miss you so much..."Shi'an hugged his sister, cuckoo like a cuckoo, Su Yuan Yining watched quietly, how can this kind of reunion after a long absence bother? As if to appease him, he patted Shi'an on the back, just squatted down and combed her windswept sideburns.

After placing the luggage and piling them on the side of the wall, Tang Ping suddenly found that there was a delicate woman in the house, so she understood and asked, "A-Ning, you really listened to your sister's words, you have enlightened, and you brought your girlfriend to meet your parents during the Chinese New Year..."

"No, she's just my classmate."

"I know, I understand, you don't have to say more, I'll talk to her about my daughter's family, you don't have to come over..."

The conversation between the girls was a secret, and the leaping thinking that he didn't know where he started and didn't know what was going on was summed up as a needle under the sea, and he couldn't understand it at all, and he seemed weaker in front of the women, which was a difficulty that could never be overcome. His eldest sister has completely regarded Su Yuan as her own family, and they have a hot chat. The eldest sister of Nading used a side-knocking strategy, intentionally and seemingly unintentionally, asking Su Yuan's words, looking at the priorities in that field, the balance has been tilting, making Su Yuan seem to be difficult to parry.

After a while, the four of them sat around the stove together, eating the churning hot pot, and the mutton commonly used to ward off the cold had been put into the pot, which was also bought from the market. Shi'an loved his sheep very much, so he could not use the swords, but only sold them, and the family's income was only livestock that ate miscellaneous grains in addition to crops, and they could not move the family's storage before their mother gave them.

The fireworks bloomed in the night sky without stars and moons, flashing brightly for a moment, rumbling and scattering firecrackers, echoing each other one after another, and the red dust and smell scattered down were the taste of the year. Shi'an obliquely held the red rice flower, racing high on the sky, Xiaohong rushed to play with her, there was more freedom in the year than usual, they frolicked with the rats on the same ground, that kind of innocent happiness can no longer be experienced, maybe tying up more than ten cupola cannons can temporarily let him dream back, but how can this be regretted, such as the adults who looked at his happiness back then, he can now also experience the mood at that time, that is nostalgia, but also a kind of relief.

They all looked down on the snow, and when they were tired, they went back to their houses. Su Yuan was driven to her younger brother's room by the wrong eldest sister to let them sit together to keep warm, which made Su Yuan much embarrassed, although she was in love, but it was not to the extent that she was in the same room and slept together, and he had to let go of the opportunity created by this kindness.

Snow flew overnight, the rattan chair was covered with a bed quilt, and there was still residual temperature in the small chamber of the furnace, but the two had a tacit understanding at the branch, and they were tacit last night. Perhaps what it seems to be done now, what a delicate feeling it was at the beginning, this mutual care took root in the hearts of the two of them.

Outside, the world was white, empty and quiet, except for the sparrows that occasionally flew to the eaves to play, only the owl that saw night as day was still alive. It cooed in the hollow of the tree in the heights, and it didn't know how it survived on this cold day, it should have its own magic method. It's just that Shi'an couldn't bear to be hurt by cute things, so he threw out a lot of grain from the warehouse, and entertained the small and delicate ones that flew down from the eaves, but the owl was as cold as before, and he hid in and couldn't come out, which made Shi'an surprised for a long time.

"A-Ning, my sister is going out, you take care of the guests at home, take care of Shi'an, I'll come back in three days..."

"Shi'an, listen to your second brother at home, don't play wild, in the New Year, you have to be obedient..."

"Little kite, let me tell you, my younger brother is very good, but he doesn't like to talk very much, you have to help him change it in the future..."

After explaining the matter, Tang Ping quickly left to catch the car, and after a while, he disappeared into the mountain col with a slight dew, this time there was no barking sound, Xiao Huang was very spiritual, maybe he was wagging his tail and watching.

After eating the dumplings wrapped in a one-yuan coin, Shi'an ran out to find a partner like a cheerful wild horse, and she may have understood that she gave the two a chance to be alone.

The fragrance of white plum is not far away, planted in the sunny place of the back mountain, the most beautiful branch is taken off as a hair ornament, obliquely inserted in Su Kite's hair, she combs a very good-looking bun today, he can't name it, maybe it's for Aimei, Su Yuan asked which angle is better, let him get some ideas.

"I think it's all okay, as long as you have a heart, it's beautiful, you're good-looking, and it's great to dress up a little..."

"Then it's your compliment, you give me a porcelain vase, I'll pack a few branches and go home to raise them first, the fragrance of this flower is just right, I like it very much..."

"Okay, I'll send you."

"Then you're going to give me something else, no, I've got it for you, you can take a look." Su Yuan untied the warm jade and stuffed it into his hand, "It's just the jade I asked for a year ago, and it's used to keep me safe, it's not precious, and I have the right to do it, don't shirk it." ”

"It's... Well, let me think of what I can do in return, and I should repay you for treating me like this. ”

"No, you just keep it, but you have to keep it well, if you lose it, it's gone..."

"Well, I'll take it, I know what you want."

The golden sun shines on the clear snow, the white plum branches tremble, and the crystal ice cubes are attached, which is really as beautiful as the fairy tale describes.

Su Kite danced here, the heavy winter clothes affected her play, looking like a young bird learning to fly, he smiled, if he was wearing an ancient costume, it would be beautiful, but the scenery seemed to be much more interesting than he imagined, he didn't want Su Kite to be frozen.

"Am I dancing well?" Su Yingying looked at him with a light smile.

"Well, it's beautiful, I've never seen anything so unique, it would be nice if it had a little more softness."

"Good! I'll practice more in the future, but now you'll just watch, I've been learning for a long time. ”

He looked at Su Kite, who was fluttering again, and remembered the story of Liaozhai he had read, Su Kite should not be the debt he owed in his previous life, this kind of ethereal seemed so real at this moment, maybe there was really a reincarnation of the past, which supported her such a warm love.

"I'm leaving, you can send me off in a while..." Su Yuan didn't have any sorrow, she smiled brightly, as if competing with flowers. The fragrance of the white plum is refreshing, she smells the branches, and the Su kite, who is standing quietly with an expression, has a special sense of beauty at the moment, he feels very familiar, but he can't think of when and where he has seen it, he froze for a while, and sank into distant memories.

"I like the flowers and plants you grow very much, and the next time I come, I want to raise a pot at home, you won't be reluctant, right?"

"How can I be, I'm worried that I can't find anything, if you like it, I can give you a few more pots, and you can send them to your house."

"Oh, you can't go back, let's pull a hook!" Su Yuan looked at him, her eyes burning, this was an important agreement for her.

"Okay, let's pull the hook...", the familiar oath came from the mouths of the two of them, and he felt as if he had returned to his childhood, the original naivety had never disappeared, but it was hidden and not revealed, waiting to be shared with close friends.

The snow was thick and there was no dust, Su Yuan caught the shuttle bus home, waved goodbye to him by the window, and the healing smile made him unforgettable.

So where does he go from here? That's right, Gu Fang! Gu Fang should be waiting for him at this moment, the Gaodong Village in the depths of his memory, the place where she once grew up, and the scenes that appeared in his countless dreams.

In the crystal world, the person who went with him to explore the mystery was Gu Fang! The dusty memory that was suddenly revealed for a long time told him that that year, the wind was clear and the moon was sparse, and the white plum and snow were gone.

She was smiling at the flowers, she was the one who was flying and putting on makeup, she was still haunted by her dreams, maybe he was standing under the plum tree tearing the petals at the moment, he thought that he couldn't make her wait for a long time, he had to rush there immediately.

So he took the folded white plums and hurried to the place where the plum was perhaps in better bloom, and the snow on the mountain was heavier than here, and perhaps it was still flying. He didn't care about admiring the scenery along the way, he was afraid of losing the rare opportunity to meet.
