Lin Yilan saw the hand touching the street lamp on the glass, the wrist was deep and shallow, and it was still those white scars, not long, but never going away.

The weather was already hot, and in addition to wearing long sleeves to protect herself from the sun when she went out, she still wore a T-shirt indoors. I'm afraid that the scar on his wrist has already been seen by Xiang Hai, and she simply doesn't care about it, just look at it, since he was not scared away, then this matter is not important.

When she first came, she was afraid that the other party would see the scars on her wrists, and even thought of a set of rhetoric to find a beautiful reason for these scars, but the man looked away lightly, as if he didn't see anything, his behavior gave her a lot of comfort invisibly, and she gradually forgot the scars on her hands, and now when she sees it again, it is like seeing another self across time and space, standing in front of her.

"She" looked at herself in tattered clothes, scarred, and she would no longer shout in fear, hiding in the corner crying, shivering, she could calmly reach out and hold this injured self in her arms, and gently pat her back.

Lin Yilan affectionately stroked the scar on her wrist.

"We reconciled."

The heavy rain began in the middle of the night and continued until lunch, when it stopped. The noise outside gradually became louder.

Xiang Hai and the three of them came out for a stroll after lunch.

The holidays make the children extraordinarily indulgent and playful, and all kinds of sounds are actually made by the children. No, right now, there was a group of children in the grove over there, cheering and looking for something.

Xu Erhu grew up in the city since he was a child, where have he seen this, and when he saw those children bending down on the land to find something, he had long been envious, and with an eager expression on his face, he trotted all the way into the grove in front of him.

When the local children saw this strange child, they only raised their eyes and did not take the initiative to come over to say hello. Xu Erhu is not a stage fright, he saw a little boy lying on the ground, curiously leaned over, and saw that the little boy was actually holding a tweezer in his hand, and was reaching into a small circular hole to dig something, and after a few strokes, a strange insect came out of it.

Xu Erhu was most afraid of insects, so he screamed in fright and ran away, the little boy looked at him inexplicably, put the insect in his hand into his pocket, and started a new search.

Xu Erhu saw that he put the worm in his pocket, and the pocket was also full, and he agitated from time to time, presumably it was all the bug. He swallowed his saliva with a pale face, and looked at Lin Yilan like a plea for help, and Lin Yilan also looked at the child with a little fear, and shook his head from time to time, "Don't ask me, I don't know what it is." ”

Xiang Hai stood aside in casual clothes and didn't speak, at this moment he came to the child, watched the child groping in a hole intently, and after a while, he used tweezers to pick out another insect from it, he took it in his hand and was about to put it in his pocket, but was blocked by Xiang Hai

Under.

"Hello, can you show me what that is?"

The child put the worm in his pocket for a moment, thought for a moment, and then handed the worm in his hand. Xiang Hai thanked him, took the insect in his hand with two fingers, and observed it repeatedly, his eyes squinted as if he was thinking about something, his long eyelashes blinked unconsciously, and he was as beautiful as a small fan.

This child is not afraid of life, he looked at the big brother who was squatting in front of him to carefully observe the insects, and remembered that his mother had once got together to discuss, saying that the two outsiders who had just come to the village were very arrogant! Although the house is beautiful, and there is even a beautiful piano sound coming from it, the man and the woman who live in it are very bad, and they also advise their children not to go near the house, otherwise they will be fed poisoned apples.

Of course, the children obeyed the teachings of the adults, and none of them dared to approach this small building, which was considered beautiful in the village, although there were often a few little girls lying outside the fence, looking at the sunflowers that were about to bloom, showing envious expressions, but they did not dare to really approach.

Xiang Hai took the worm, looked at it repeatedly, and asked the little boy uncertainly, "Is this Qiu Liangzi?" ”

The child's eyes widened, and he looked at Xiang Hai in surprise, and Xiang Hai smiled, knowing that he had guessed correctly.

"I, in fact, am also a villager in this village, but I have lived outside for so many years and miss here, so I came back to live, so we are from the same village."

The little boy nodded his little head, "Oh, so you're from this village too." ”

Xiang Hai smiled and gently touched his head, took out some candy from his pocket and stuffed it to the child, the child refused along the saliva, and she smiled and stuffed the candy into the other pocket.

He beckoned Xu Erhu to come over, Xu Erhu hid behind Lin Yilan a little cowardly, and kept waving to him to the sea, so he pushed Lin Yilan over together. But the annoying Xiang Hai pinched the strange insect with his fingers and came over, he hurriedly hid behind Lin Yilan, and was pulled by Xiang Hai, he was so frightened that he shouted, "What are you doing, what are you doing?" It's a big deal that I won't bully you in the future, you're deliberately taking revenge on me, I'm going to tell my dad-"

"Shut up," Xiang Hai hugged the little thing jumping up and down in his arms, and tapped his fingers on the head of the insect, which had two front paws pincers between his hands, and he didn't feel any pain.

"Xu'er Lake, do you know the cicadas? That thing that is noisy lying on a tree in the summer. ”

"Of course I do, it's too noisy." Lake Xul muttered.

Xiang Hai smiled, "This is the larvae of cicadas, they grew up in the soil when they were young, and when they arrived at this time of year, a rain woke them up." With their two front paws, they cut through the earth, burrowed out of the dirt, and climbed up to something that was vertically upward. It could be a tree, or grass, or a branch leaning against the side, and they would climb up anything that they could borrow. In just one night, they can transform from this shell into another new identity, which is the cicada. ”

Xu Erhu listened fascinated, and looked at the somewhat strange bug in his hand

However, I am not so scared. Xiang Hai spread the worm on the palm of his hand and asked him to watch it carefully. Xu Erhu looked at it for a while, and quickly reached out to poke the back of the insect, the insect was poked to the side by him, the two front paws stretched forward mechanically, and the other claws stretched outward like spiders, and after a while, he turned over again, and continued to crawl around on the palm of his hand, and from time to time he grabbed the palm of Xiang Hai with two large pliers.

Xiang Hai patted Xuerhu's head and returned the worm in his palm to the little boy. The little boy didn't reach out to catch it, he was busy catching another larva, but he just glanced at it and said, "Doesn't he like it?" Give it to him. ”

Xiang Hai was at a loss for a moment, and saw that Xu Erhu, the melon baby, unceremoniously took the worm away from him, and quickly said thank you. He was still a little scared, and the insect only dared to spread out his palms, and on the other hand, he was on guard against a sudden attack from the sea to snatch his worm away, and the small appearance of the thief's eyebrows and rat eyes made people laugh.

He quickly ran to the little boy, watched the boy lying on the ground, put the tweezers in his hand into the hole, and carefully took out another insect, his eyes lit up, and he looked at the little boy with admiration.

Xu Erhu found friends to play with by himself, and Xiang Hai and Lin Yilan were finally able to walk around side by side, temporarily escaping from the control of this little demon king.

The air after the rain has a moist smell unique to the earth, as if human beings come from the closeness of the soul to the land, and people are relaxed and happy in this state.

The two of them didn't talk much, they just walked quietly, and they could feel the peace of their souls. After a few casual laps, and then back to that place, Xu Erhu was lying on the ground, watching the little boy put the tweezers in his hand into the hole, pinching and pinching, and another insect came up! He cheered, and the little boy graciously gave him the worm.

Xu Erhu already had several insects in his hands, they must have been given to him by that boy, why did he never get so dirty on his body? But he didn't care anymore, and continued to lie on the ground and enjoy his rare childhood time.

Xiang Hai looked at the dirty guy all over, suddenly raised his eyebrows, leaned over and said, "Do you want to play?" Why don't I catch a few for you? ”

Lin Yilan rejected him with a smile.

Xiang Hai let out a long sigh of disappointment. Oh, there's no reason, how can I play on the ground with a few children? The cheeks agitated back and forth a few times, and had to give up.

It was getting late, and when it was time to leave, the boy wanted to send a few more bugs to Xu'er Lake, but Xiang Hai refused. Xu Erhu held several insects in his hand and waved at the little boy with satisfaction. The two agreed to come back to this place tomorrow to meet.

After Xu Erhu went back, he wanted to find a cardboard box for him to put a few cicada larvae in it, saying that he was a pet. Xiang Hai rolled his eyes to find the box.

Sure enough, early in the morning of the second day, Xu Erhu obediently washed his face and brushed his teeth as soon as he woke up, ate breakfast, ran to his small schoolbag and grabbed two handfuls of candy, and his pockets were bulging, so he dragged Lin Yilan and clamored to go out, saying that he had made an appointment with his friends to be here again today

Let's play together, he can't miss the appointment.

Xiang Hai raised his hand to indicate that the two of them went to play to their heart's content, and he took care of all the housework. He was so sensible that the two of them slept on his wish and went out to play without looking back.

It's just that he didn't expect the two of them to go out, and he answered a phone call at noon, saying that the two of them would not come back, and he would have to solve lunch by himself. Xiang Hai hung up the phone, thinking that since this guy Xu Erhu came, he not only had to obey him in the food, but now Lin Yilan has abducted him.

Thinking about it left and right, he was still not angry, and called Xu Jiang again, and asked him directly when he would take the child away, Xu Jiang called haha on the phone, but he didn't give a clear reply.

Come on, this call was in vain.

In the evening, a big man and a small person came in from outside. Xiang Hai looked at Lin Yilan with complaining eyes, Lin Yilan turned a blind eye to him, Xu Erhu laughed and came over to squeeze his eyebrows.

"Your food here is very delicious, I will ask Sister Lin to take me out to eat tomorrow."

As soon as Xiang Hai heard me going, he couldn't bear it, and he began to chase the little guy who was laughing happily in his slippers, and the little guy ran away in front of him with agility, and the big and the small made a fuss in the living room.

Lin Yilan lay on the sofa, closed her eyes and came back to her senses, stretched her waist, and took the vegetables from the refrigerator to cook.
