Chapter 47: Old Shadows (4)
She had only seen dragon boat racing in Yingdu before, but Liu never let her see these things, saying that girls were going to embroider at home to serve their husbands, and at that time, every year her brother would secretly bring her back a small dragon boat model or secretly take her out. However, since he was known by the Liu family once, and beat his brother because of this, he has never gone out to see the dragon boat.
This is the first time she has seen the dragon boat race in Xijing City, to be honest, the liveliness is not inferior to Yingdu, too, after all, this Xijing City is also a prosperous city near Nanyang City, so I am still a little excited when I think about it.
Early in the morning, the market is already very lively, and the sound of vendors is everywhere. All sorts of things, but most of them she had never seen before. For example, the red string, which almost everyone has on their wrists, she knows what it is, but she has only seen it at her brother's, and the Liu family has never regarded her as their own child, so she never deserves it. Later, her brother borrowed her for a few days, and she was afraid of causing trouble, so she no longer coveted it.
For some reason, when she walked out of the inn and saw the grass outside the door, she actually felt at home.
It's also ridiculous to say that although she had shelter from the wind and rain in the first half of her life, she never felt the warmth of real home, even if it was just a small pampas grass or a simple red rope. Later, she had no fixed place to live, and she found this sense of belonging in an inn after going around and around, which was extremely ethereal.
She couldn't help but look at the people around her, although there was no red rope, but the close contact between her fingers made her feel precious.
"Do you like it?" He asked softly.
Lin Peijiu retracted his thoughts and turned his head to look at the thing in his hand, it was a rabbit mask, he couldn't have remembered the rabbit she gave him.
She smiled, "I like it." As he spoke, he picked it up and put it on him, and when he looked left and right, he couldn't help but feel strange, so he smiled and said, "Look at it well." "The real idea still has to be there, as for whether to say it or not, it will be different from person to person, the real idea is that she feels stupid, this is her difference from person to person.
So, he bought it.
Walking in the bazaar, she suddenly remembered something and asked, "My lord, why do you hate hedgehogs?" ”
He thought she was going to say something big, but he stopped and sighed again, "Because ...... Do you want to know? ”
She nodded violently, like a nodding puppet, but the puppet was not delicate at all.
Seeing this scene, he came up with a funny side, pointed to his cheek and smiled evilly: "If you kiss me, I will tell you." ”
Lin Peijiu was stunned and immediately reacted, but after he didn't know that he felt half of his face red, he raised his foot and gave him a kick, "Rascal!" ”
Pei Heng smiled, and when he saw her walking away with a shy face, he couldn't help but feel so funny, so he walked two steps quickly and walked around in front of her and said, "What, don't you want to know?" ”
"Whoever knows, you won't be ashamed if it's bright in broad daylight." After saying that, he pushed him away.
Pei Heng took another big step, and then said, "Shame? I don't know who kissed me in the camp tent that day, saying that he likes me, I won't ......catch it" Before he finished speaking, he was covered by Lin Peijiu, as if every pore of his body was glaring at him viciously: "Shut up!" ”
Pei Heng spread his hands and put on a helpless expression, although his eyes conveyed: I'm like this, what else do I say. You treat me like a big man in broad daylight, so you are not ashamed. But the only thing that came out of the grunt was a whine of different tones.
Whining...... He pulled her hand away and took a few sharp breaths: You are murdering your husband!
She was about to say something, but was interrupted by a distant voice: What are you two doing?
Quickly, the two of them returned to their true appearances almost at the same time, and smiled at the visitor: "It's nothing. ”
Yang Tianning showed a suspicious look, stared at the rabbit mask in Pei Heng's hand and said, "It turns out that you like rabbits." He couldn't tell what it was like, but he didn't think he was the kind of person who liked rabbits, and it was easy to imagine that he would hold the rabbit and say, "It's so cute!" ”
Well...... Actually, I really want to see it, haha.
The three of them walked to the river after a while, and just in time for them to prepare for the dragon boat race, Yang Tianning secretly glanced at Pei Heng and said, "Brother Pei, are you interested in together?" ”
Pei Heng glanced at him and said, "If you want to go, you can go, and pull me to do something." ”
Yang Tianning walked over idly and showed a big smile at him, "You see that we are not only drinking friends, but also comrades-in-arms." How fun the dragon boat is, I'm afraid you haven't played the dragon boat in Xijing, I'll take you. Besides, I think Miss Lin must like it too, right......" As he spoke, Yang Tianning looked at her, and soon his gaze also came, she froze in place, blinked her eyes, and then nodded towards him. Pei Heng just wanted to refuse, but when he saw him nodding, he immediately replied "yes". When the two of them heard him say hello, they smiled.
Actually, I wanted to see it myself, but to be honest, I wanted to try it myself. However, she felt that she had no skills to speak of, so she gave up on such ideas.
The two quickly found the owner and qualified for the competition. It seemed that this was the first time she had touched such a large dragon boat at close range, and she was stunned for a moment.
Pei Heng touched her head and said dotingly, "Wait for me." ”
The two extremely simple words are not separated by ten days and eight days, but she feels that these two words are so precious, as if to tell her that even for a while, he is guarding her and is reluctant to leave. It also seemed to soothe her, so gentle and patient.
With a whistle, the game began. Lin Peijiu looked at them, but she was much more nervous than when she came in person. Her eyes were fixed on their boat, and several times she was so nervous that she almost jumped up.
Pei Heng didn't look at her from beginning to end, and rowed the boat extremely intently. She always thought that he was the kind of rich kid who was used to worrying about food and clothing, and would not play with this kind of thing between the people, but seeing that he played so carefully and skillfully, she couldn't help but admire.
Seeing that the game was about to end, she suddenly thought of something, ran out of the arena, and came to a candied fruit shop.
When the proprietress saw her, she showed joy, and walked over enthusiastically and asked, "What does the girl need, there is a discount for the Dragon Boat Festival today." ”
"Huh? Preferential? ”
The proprietress smiled, nodded and said, "Yes, anyone who buys candied fruit in our store can get a dragon boat lantern, and if you give a good review, you can also enjoy a 20% discount." ”
