153 awkward atmosphere
While peace was struggling, the voice of Umeko was heard from inside.
"Okay with big brother, you can come in."
Heping heard Meizi's words and hurriedly recovered from his struggle. He raised his head and closed his eyes vigorously, and walked in as usual.
Meizi looked at the man who walked in with a calm face and spoke curiously.
"What did you just do with big brother, why is the left side of your face red and swollen."
When Heping heard this, his eyes dodged for a moment.
It's hard to say that I just had indescribable thoughts about her.
If you say that, you must not scare people to death.
"It's nothing, it's just that a mosquito just outside bites me and I slapped it in the face."
Meizi looked at the peace in disbelief.
There was a faint "oh".
After that, the cave fell into an inexplicable awkward atmosphere.
All that was left was the crackling of sticks burning in the fire, and the occasional sound of thunder and rain falling on the ground from outside the cave.
Meizi felt that it was strange that the two of them were sitting by the fire and roasting the fire without saying a word.
Heping was thinking about what happened just now, and his heart was a little weak, and he didn't even dare to raise his head to look at Meizi. Not to mention talking.
Meizi couldn't help it first, and opened her mouth first.
"And the eldest brother also went up the mountain to cut down trees today?"
Heping suddenly heard Meizi's voice and was stunned for a moment, and then thought back to what she had just said before reacting.
Coughed awkwardly.
"No, it's just to see if the trees that were cut down some time ago have been drenched."
"Oh." Meizi replied lightly.
Then the air fell into an inexplicable silence again.
"And what are you here for?"
"I'm just idle and bored, go around the mountains and see what's good, hehehe."
Meizi replied with some embarrassment.
Heping laughed when he heard Meizi's words.
"I guess there are some mountain fruits or something these days. The others don't seem to be gone. ”
"Yes! I originally went up the mountain to look for fruit, but I didn't expect that the trees I visited last year would have no fruit on them today, so I guess they were picked by someone. ”
Heping heard the little girl's slightly regretful tone, and the smile on her face deepened, but it slowly faded after thinking of something.
"Oh."
Listening to the peaceful tone, Meizi felt as if he didn't want to speak, so she didn't continue.
I could only tighten the blanket on my body and move it to the fire. I hope that the rain will stop quickly and get out of this awkward atmosphere as soon as possible.
Heping naturally didn't know what Meizi was thinking, she looked at the little girl's body moving towards the fire and thought she was cold, stood up and walked deeper into the cave, bent down and hugged a bundle of firewood.
After that, he sat down opposite the plum and silently filled the fire with firewood.
After a while, the fire grew much bigger. Meizi hurriedly stepped back to the side, and her little face was red from the fire.
Heping looked at Meizi's face, and his eyes were unconsciously dyed with a little smile.
"Is it still cold?"
Meizi realized that he had just been adding firewood to the fire, thinking that he was cold, and when he heard the words of peace, he hurriedly waved his hand.
"You don't need to add firewood to your eldest brother, I'm not cold at all, you're so good with your eldest brother, whoever marries you in the future will definitely enjoy happiness."
Meizi said such a sentence casually, and it was too late to react. I had to look at the peace with some caution.
When Heping heard Meizi's words, he raised his head and looked at the little girl, and his face became a little ugly.
Meizi looked at Peace's face, thinking that she had said something about his sore spot and hurriedly opened her mouth.
"And eldest brother, I know you have someone you like, Lin Zheng has already told me at the apprenticeship banquet of the second girl last time. And big brother! I both know that you like people, but everyone is married, you should let go, and at this age, you should find someone to live with. ”
Heping listened to the little girl's words, and was a little frightened at first, thinking that the little girl knew what she was thinking about her.
But the more I listened to the latter words, the more wrong it became. I didn't seem to know what I thought about this girl before that apprenticeship banquet, so where did this sweetheart come from!
The more Heping heard this, the more strange he felt, his heroic eyebrows also wrinkled, his eyes were full of doubts, and he finally opened his mouth to interrupt the little girl who wanted to continue.
"Isn't it a wait, you said that Lin Zheng told you that I have someone I like?"
Meizi looked at Heping's somewhat unhappy face, thinking that what she said made him unhappy, and the momentum of the endless talk just now was also weakened.
"Yes! Did Lin Zheng tell me personally? It's the one who was originally married to you, and then you went to be a soldier and retired. ”
When Heping heard Meizi's words, when he thought of the girl's cold attitude towards him during that time, he thought about dozens of reasons why the little girl ignored him, but he didn't expect it to take so long to figure it out now.
"Are you the only one who knows about this?"
When Meizi heard the words of peace, her eyes dodged for a moment.
Heping looked at the little girl's appearance and roughly understood.
This is also the reason why Zhou Sun's suddenly didn't like to see him so much.
After figuring out this, Heping couldn't wait to rush back to the county seat now to clean up Lin Zheng's kid, if it weren't for the dead kid who was idle all day long and had nothing to do and speculate, and he didn't care about him and let him go, he wouldn't have caused such a big misunderstanding.
The more Heping thought about it, the more flat the breath in his heart became, and the hand hanging down his side also pinched and "clicked".
Meizi couldn't help but feel a little scared when she looked at the man in front of her, thinking that she had said something wrong and made people unhappy.
"And big brother, I don't really want to say it, I won't say it in the future, I promise."
Heping heard Meizi's words, came back to his senses from his thoughts, and looked at the little girl looking at him with a scared face.
Heping hurriedly let go of his clenched fist, and the smile on his face softened.
"I don't mean to blame you, I'm blaming Lin Zheng for arranging me messily! Although I was engaged, I was still young at that time, and after so many years, I am afraid that I can't even remember what the other party looks like, and where will I still miss people. ”
Speaking of this, he glanced up at Meizi again. In the end, I had to sigh deeply.
Umeko was baffled by the act of peace. I don't know how to speak. I had to say something embarrassing.
"Hehe, I always thought I had someone I liked with my eldest brother!"
Although Meizi still had a trace of joy in her heart when she heard that Peace didn't have someone she liked at the beginning, she didn't notice it for a moment.
