Chapter 55: The Past (Part II)

In the dim temple, two people bent down to catch grasshoppers and after a while, they each grabbed a small half bag, and a steady stream of grasshoppers appeared from the small holes in the ground, such a strange situation for these two children who were only nine years old and eleven or twelve years old had no sense of fear.

What really made him uncomfortable for Welling was the grasshoppers on the back of the statue, and the sound of the grasshoppers on his back made Welling pay part of his attention there, fearing that they would all of a sudden run down.

They didn't notice that all the grasshoppers in the small hole were scrambling to get up to the idol, so even if they caught them, they still jumped in the direction of the idol.

Seeing that he had been caught so much, Wei Lin proposed that he should go out, but in fact, he didn't like to stay here, and he always felt uncomfortable in his heart.

Out of the mountain temple, that feeling disappeared without a trace, Huang Jiayao held up the plastic bag in his hand and said, "Hehe, Brother Lin, you don't seem to catch as much as I did!" ”

The two bags were indeed a little smaller than the one in Wellin's hand.

Wei Lin returned the bag to her, pouted and said, "That's because I didn't catch it seriously, otherwise I would have caught a lot more than you!" ”

Huang Jiayao was delighted with the results of the bag, and said happily: "There are so many grasshoppers for them to eat, Huang Huang and they will be very happy!" ”

"Brother Lin, let's go down the mountain, I'll take you to my house to see Huang Huang and Huang them."

Huang Jiayao took Wei Lin's hand again and hurriedly went down the mountain...

。。。。。。

Huang Jiayao took out some of the grasshoppers in the bag and threw them in the chicken coop, the chickens were scrambling to peck and eat, but her mother found out afterwards, scolded her fiercely, and threw away all the plastic bags she had with grasshoppers, Huang Jiayao cried sadly, Wei Lin was also at a loss on the side, seeing her mother's fierce expression Wei Lin ran home in fear.

A few days passed like this, and after that day, Huang Jiayao came to play with Wei Lin like no one, Wei Lin took out his toys for Huang Jiayao to play, and the two played at Wei Lin's house for an afternoon.

Since then, Huang Jiayao will come to Wei Lin every afternoon, sometimes go to the field to catch field chickens together, sometimes use a stick to knock the fruit on the tree to eat, sometimes Wei Lin is fishing by the river, Huang Jiayao will sit quietly next to him and accompany him... For children, partners are indeed very important things, with Huang Jiayao's company in Qingshi Town, Wei Lin will never feel bored anymore, and the relationship between the two is increasing day by day!

It's just that during the period, Huang Jiayao asked Wei Lin to accompany her to catch grasshoppers again, but Wei Lin didn't go, because Wei Lin didn't like to go to that place, and he said that he had met Wei Lin several times, but Huang Jiayao gradually didn't mention it again.

Huang Jiayao sometimes brings some snacks from home for Wei Lin to eat, and some people say that when a child will share her own things with you, it shows that she really regards you as her best friend.

Watching Wei Lin eat the snacks she gave, Huang Jiayao smiled sweetly.

••••••

"Brother Lin, I painted it, it's beautiful, right?"

One afternoon, Wei Lin was fishing by the river, Huang Jiayao took out a piece of white paper from his pocket, on which were drawn with colored pens two people holding hands, it could be seen from the hair that it was a man and a woman, the two looked ahead with a smile, surrounded by two small trees and small red flowers falling down, and in the sky was a sun with a smiling face and a few clouds.

"What is this?"

Welling looked at the picture in bewilderment.

Huang Jiayao explained: "I drew me and Brother Lin, and Brother Lin and I held hands to show that we are best friends!" ”

"Oh." Wei Lin said lightly, then turned his head and continued to look at the fishing rod.

"Is it that Xiao Yao's painting is too ugly, so Brother Lin doesn't like it?" Huang Jiayao saw that Wei Lin didn't look the slightest joy, and put her hand down with a depressed expression.

"Hmm... My dad said that only husband and wife can appear hand in hand in the same frame, and it's not right for you to be my wife and two people holding hands. ”

Welling remembered that he had asked his dad about the wedding photos, and his dad explained it this way.

Hearing Wei Lin finish speaking, Huang Jiayao was stunned for a moment, with doubts in her mind, as if she was thinking about what Wei Lin said.

After thinking about it for a long time, he suddenly blushed and said, "Then I will be Brother Lin's wife, so that I can hold hands?" ”

"No, my father said that I can't fall in love until I'm young and an adult."

"Hehe, then I can wait for Brother Lin to grow up!"

"Don't."

"Why?"

"I'm going back to school after the winter break, so the two of us are going to be separated and can't be together."

"Then I can wait for Brother Lin to come back next time, and when Xiao Yao grows up, I can go to Brother Lin!"

"When I grow up, I will marry Brother Lin!"

“。。。”

In Bluestone Town, by the river, at dusk, the sunset is shining, two innocent children sit by the river and discuss a very serious question, but it seems that they don't know what it means, and the boy has been told by the girl that he doesn't know how to answer.

。。。。。。

In the blink of an eye, most of the winter vacation has passed, and Welling has been here for a month.

"Brother Lin, secretly tell you that tomorrow is Xiao Yao's birthday!" One afternoon, when the two were about to go home for dinner, Huang Jiayao suddenly said to Wei Lin.

"Birthday?"

"Uh-huh." Huang Jiayao nodded expectantly.

"But I didn't prepare anything." Welling scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.

Huang Jiayao shook her head and said, "I don't want Brother Lin to send me anything, I just want Brother Lin to celebrate my birthday with me!" ”

"Well, well!"

Huang Jiayao smiled sweetly, thought about it and said a little twistedly: "Actually, Xiao Yao does have a small wish." ”

"What wish?"

"I want Brother Lin to accompany me to catch grasshoppers."

"Okay?" Huang Jiayao said tentatively.

"Well, okay!"

Although Wei Lin didn't want to go, thinking that tomorrow was Huang Jiayao's birthday, Wei Lin agreed after a while.

Huang Jiayao stood in front of Wei Lin in surprise and said happily: "Well, then I will go to your house at noon tomorrow to find you, my mother said that she would buy me something delicious, and Brother Lin will bring it to you to eat when the time comes." ”

"That's it, I'll go home first, goodbye Brother Lin!"

Huang Jiayao said goodbye to Wei Lin and ran home briskly with a smile.

••••••

"Yo, goodbye Brother Lin!"

Wei Lin was about to go home when suddenly a strange voice sounded in his ears, and Wei Lin turned around to see a group of children in the village who were about his age looking at him with a sneer.

One of the children imitated Huang Jiayao's tone and said, "Brother Lin, let's go catch grasshoppers, do you say it's okay!" ”

"Haha!"

The other children laughed loudly.

Wei Lin said to them with a blushing face, "What are you laughing at? ”

"Hmph, what do you care we are laughing at?" A child in the center mocked: "A man plays with a woman every day, is he ashamed?" ”

"I play with whomever I like." Wei Lin retorted angrily.

"Hehe, the men who play with girls are not promising, you are unproductive, you are a useless waste!"

"Haha!!"

After the boy finished speaking, the group began to laugh out loud again.

Welling stood there not knowing what to answer, only feeling his anger, but not knowing if he was angry with the boy or something else.

He picked up the stone from the ground and threw it at them violently, and when he was done, he ran his leg towards the house, only to hear the sound of cursing and the sound of chasing footsteps from behind.

The sound of rocks rolling to the ground was heard, but fortunately Welling ran fast, so it didn't hit him.

When he returned home, his grandparents noticed him with a straight face and asked him worriedly what was going on, but Wellin didn't say anything.

At noon the next day, Huang Jiayao came to Wei Lin's house on time, and Wei Lin sat on the sofa watching TV with an expressionless face.

"Brother Lin, I'm ready, we can go!"

Huang Jiayao patted her pocket and happily took Wei Lin's hand, and Wei Lin gently shook it off.

"Brother Lin, what's wrong with you?"

Huang Jiayao noticed Wei Lin's face, Wei Lin's eyes were still staring at the TV, and said indifferently: "I'm fine, I just suddenly don't want to go." ”

Huang Jiayao stood beside Wei Lin, looking at Wei Lin, who was a little unreasonable to her, and felt like crying for no reason, but she resisted this urge.

The little hand took out a few pieces of chocolate candy from his pants pocket and carefully handed them to Wellin.

"This is for you to eat, this is what my mother bought for me, it is very sweet."

Wei Lin looked at the chocolate candy handed to him, and his heart was touched, but he didn't reach out to take it.

"I'm a little tired at noon, so I don't want to catch grasshoppers, you can find someone else to accompany you."

He didn't dare to look at Huang Jiayao's face, but his tone was not as stiff as just now.

Huang Jiayao walked in front of him, so that Wei Lin had to look at her, although she felt wronged, she still had a bright smile on her face: "It's okay, Brother Lin doesn't want to go, we won't go, this candy is really sweet, Brother Lin, you can eat one." ”

Huang Jiayao picked up Wei Lin's hand and put the sugar in his hand.

Wei Lin took the candy given by Huang Jiayao very unnaturally, and at a young age, he seemed to feel that he had gone too far.

"You... You sit down. ”

Wei Lin put away the sugar and motioned for Huang Jiayao to sit down, and Huang Jiayao sat next to Wei Lin obediently, just looking at Wei Lin.

She opened her mouth and said, "Brother Lin, are you unhappy?" Say it, Xiao Yao may be able to help you! ”

Wei Lin shook his head with a clear conscience: "I don't have anything to be unhappy about. ”

"Then why did Xiao Yao feel that Brother Lin was unhappy, did Xiao Yao make Brother angry?"

"No, Xiao Yao, I...

opened his mouth, but Wei Lin didn't know what to say, looking at Huang Jiayao, who was still concerned about him on the side, Wei Lin's heart softened and said, "I'll accompany you in the afternoon." ”

"Really? Okay, okay, whether it's afternoon or tomorrow, as long as Brother Lin accompanies me, it's fine. ”

Seeing that Wei Lin was willing to go with him again, Huang Jiayao was really happy.

The two played at Wei Lin's house for a while, and Huang Jiayao was going back, because her mother only allowed her to come out to play for an hour at noon today.

Before leaving, Huang Jiayao said: "Brother Lin, just say that, I'll come to you at half past four in the afternoon." ”

Wei Lin hesitated for a moment but said, "Xiao Yao, can you go there first, I will go there at five o'clock." ”

Wei Lin was afraid that he would let yesterday's children see it, so they should laugh at him again, even if he agreed to Huang Jiayao, he still didn't want them to see him with her.

"Yes, you can." Even if Huang Jiayao didn't understand why Wei Lin was doing this, she still readily agreed, but she was still a little uneasy.

"Brother Lin, it's okay, let's go to that place on the mountain to catch grasshoppers at five o'clock this afternoon, I'll wait for you at Uncle Mountain God, you must come."

Outside the door, Huang Jiayao still turned around and asked again.

"Don't worry, the man is a man, I won't lie to you."

"Hee-hee, then let's pull the hook, the hook will not change for a hundred years, whoever deceives people is a puppy."

After pulling the little finger with Wei Lin, Huang Jiayao left with confidence.

But if people insist on repentance, what is the use of even if the agreement is made?
