Text Chapter 4 Childhood Covenants
The little girl Xiao'er ran over from a distance, and when she saw the young man, she exclaimed in surprise: "Oh, Brother Jiu, I finally found you!" ”
The little girl Xiao'er was much taller than when he first met, her delicate eyebrows and eyes were flexible and vivid, her complexion was as clear as jade, and her little face was as red as two little apples because of running.
The young man asked suspiciously, "Didn't you go to Brother Li's house with your mother to have a wedding wine?" Coming back so soon? The boy casually plucked the small leaves stuck to Xiao'er's hair. The little girl wore a dark red festive little jacket today, which became more and more pink, extremely smart and cute.
Xiao'er said happily: "Brother Jiu, it's almost noon, I'm afraid you'll be hungry, so I sneaked out as soon as I finished eating." Look, I helped you get some good food. I couldn't find you anywhere when I got home, thinking that you must have come to Taolin to practice. Hehe, I found you here. ”
The little girl grunted as she took out a clean handkerchief from her bosom and opened it layer by layer, revealing a gray-white meat bun, three pieces of broken osmanthus cake, and a small piece of sugar.
The young man's cold heart suddenly softened, and his throat was a little choked.
"Brother Jiu, hurry up and eat." The little girl held her hands in front of the boy like a treasure, stood on tiptoe and held it to him, her black jewel-like eyes were full of anticipation: "These things can only be eaten during festivals or happy events, but they are delicious." ”
The boy stretched out his slender fingers and picked up a small piece of osmanthus cake and put it in his mouth, the rough pastry exuded a primitive fragrance, which was more simple and long than any delicacies of the mountains and seas he had eaten before.
"Brother Nine, is it delicious? And all of these, you can eat them all. When the little girl saw that the boy had finally eaten, she laughed happily, and her beautiful smile was like a peach blossom blooming, blooming with extreme colors.
The young man took the little girl's little hand, sat under a peach blossom tree, gently touched the little girl's little head, and said softly: "Brother is not hungry, Xiao'er will eat the rest." ”
"Brother Jiu, you can eat this piece of candy, and I will keep the rest for you. This kind of sugar is usually extremely difficult to eat. The little girl picked out the precious piece of candy, stuffed it into the boy's mouth, and carefully wrapped the handkerchief and put it in her arms.
A faint sweet smell spread in the boy's mouth, the boy seemed to have not tasted sugar for a long, long time, when was the last time he ate sugar? The boy was slightly distracted.
The little girl took the young man's hand affectionately, looked at the young man with big eyes and asked, "Brother Nine, what does it mean to be married?" ”
"Marriage?" The young man suddenly came back to his senses, couldn't help but smile dumbly, his face turned red, and he pondered: "That's it...... Two men and women who like each other hold a union ceremony and live happily ever after. This union ritual is marriage. ”
The little girl flashed her big eyes and asked, "Brother Nine will have someone he likes in the future, will he also get married?" ”
The boy replied shyly, "I...... I don't know ......."
He only had ten years to live, and in ten years, when he became an adult, would he still be alive? The boy was a little sad and a little distracted.
The little girl looked up and asked innocently, "What about me?" Brother Jiu, will I marry someone else in the future? ”
The boy took the little girl's hand and patiently explained: "When Xiao'er grows up, she will naturally find someone she likes, hold a marriage ceremony, and then live happily with that person, and the two will grow old together." ”
The little girl suddenly jumped up and cried: "I don't want to marry someone else, don't!" ”
Big tears flowed down her crystal jade face, her two big eyes were tearful, and she cried very sadly: "I only like Brother Jiu, I just want to marry Brother Jiu." I don't want to marry someone else, I just need to grow old with Brother Jiu...... Woowoowoo......"
The young man was at a loss to help the little girl wipe her tears and comforted: "Okay, Xiao'er and Brother Jiu are married, don't marry others, Xiao'er is good, don't cry." ”
"Brother Jiu, you lied to people, my mother said that you are going to leave when you are injured. Woowoo...... I don't want Brother Nine to leave, I want to grow up and marry Brother Nine, and I will live happily with Brother Nine in the future. Woowoowoo...... ”
He was moved in his heart, and his heart was so warm that it was about to melt, and he teased while helping her wipe away her tears: "Don't you think Brother Nine is ugly?" ”
The little girl Xiao'er raised her teary eyes, looked at the young man's scarred face seriously, and said firmly: "My ninth brother is not ugly, and my ninth brother is the best-looking and smartest person I have ever seen." When Xiao'er grows up, she wants to study medicine and help my ninth brother heal. Even if it can't be cured, it doesn't matter, Xiao'er won't dislike you. ”
The young man's throat suddenly choked, and the indescribable feelings were stuffed in his heart, was he moved? Or is it warm? The softest place in his heart slowly melted, and he couldn't help but feel a little sentimental and a little confused when he thought that he would soon leave this place that gave him infinite warmth after he recovered from his injuries.
Oh, yes! The sea of people is vast, his toxin has reached a critical moment, he is gone, I don't know if he will have the opportunity to meet again in this life?
The young man gently touched the little girl's head and made up his mind: "Xiao'er, when the ninth brother is cured, he will come back to you, okay?" After speaking, the young man's heart felt sour.
Ten years later, is he still in this world? At that time, will Xiao'er still remember that there was once a teenager who sat under the peach blossom tree with her, and she cried and shouted that she would marry him when she grew up? Does she remember an ugly teenager who once stopped in her life?
The little girl stopped crying, looked at the boy with tears in her eyes, and suddenly burst into laughter: "Really? Brother Jiu, I must wait for you to come back, definitely! When I grow up, I'll come to you. Let's pull the hook. ”
The little girl stretched out her chubby little finger, hooked the young man's thin white little finger, and sang happily with her little head up: "Pull the hook, hang yourself, for a hundred years, you are not allowed to change, whoever changes is a puppy." ”
The young man's slender phoenix eyes looked at the little girl with a smile, and swore with her under the peach blossom tree in Baihua Village.
The young man thought about it and took the jade phoenix from his neck. The jade phoenix was simple and crystalline, shining in the sun, and he gently put it on the little girl's neck and said, "Xiao'er, Brother Nine will give you this piece of jade, if you ...... There is still a chance to see you again in this life, as long as you take out this piece of jade phoenix, Brother Nine will definitely recognize you. ”
Xiao'er asked in surprise, "Such a beautiful jade phoenix, did you really give it to me?" She touched Yufeng, and her tentacles were cold.
She thought for a while and said, "Brother Nine, when I grow up and have the opportunity to see you, I will definitely be able to recognize you." ”
The young man nodded, touched the little girl's fleshy little face, and said in his heart: "Xiao'er, if the ninth brother is still alive in ten years, he will definitely come back to look for you." ”
The sun is shining, the buds on the peach blossom trees are blooming, there are bees and butterflies flying, and the fragrance is thick. The young man took the little girl's hand, and two figures, one tall and one short, walked towards the wooden house.
