As he spoke, Su Ye took my hand and walked towards the gate of the courtyard.

Grandpa chased after Su Ye in three steps and two steps, and shouted in a panic: "You can't go in such a hurry, Mr. Chai said, don't let the doll see the sun in the past two years." ”

"Mr. Chai?" Su Ye suddenly stopped, his brows twisted into pimples: "Chai Zongyuan has been here?" ”

Grandpa hurriedly answered: "I came here at this time last year." ”

"This time last year? Can he pass through the wind-blown sand? ”

"Arrived before the typhoon season."

Hearing this, Su Ye's expression relaxed: "I'll just say, with such a strong wind and sand, how could Lao Chai be able to enter the village." ”

I stood aside, listening to what Su Ye said, and suddenly remembered that the wind and sand barrier had only dissipated yesterday afternoon.

At this time, Su Ye asked my grandfather again: "What did Lao Chai say about this child?" ”

"He said that the doll is the life of the landing boy, and no one else can change this life, so he can only wait for the doll to grow up and come back to change it himself."

"Then he didn't say anything, how many days is this child's longevity?"

"Mr. Chai gave the doll a peach bone, saying that by wearing this thing, the doll can live for two more years."

Su Ye frowned, and then his gaze fell on my chest, and the peach-colored jade pendant given by Mr. Chai happened to be hanging there.

As soon as he saw this jade pendant, Su Ye's eyes quickly flashed with surprise, but soon, his brows were tightly twisted into a pimple, I felt that Su Ye became very angry at that moment, but it was not normal anger, and there was another particularly strange temperament in it.

Once, two roosters raised by grandpa in the yard fought, and the one who lost the fight also had a similar temperament.

At this time, my grandfather leaned towards me again, and stretched out his hand to lead me, but before his palm reached over, Su Ye stepped away again and led me out of the courtyard.

Grandpa was a little anxious: "Master Su, you can't take the doll away now, Mr. Chai said......"

Su Ye glared on the spot: "Isn't it just seeing the sun, I'm afraid of you with me!" ”

After speaking, Su Ye lowered his head and smiled at me again: "Go, follow Master." ”

Hearing this "Master", Grandpa sighed softly and took a step back. Even the second uncle, who had just run over, stopped halfway.

Su Ye took me out of the courtyard and walked on a winding mountain road.

The mountain road was still very cloudy, and as I walked, I looked at the dead grass and fence piles on the side of the road, this was the first time I had left the yard, although the roadside was full of ordinary things, but for me, it was still full of novelty.

Soon I arrived at the mountain pass, and the sunny side of Tsukayama was also revealed in front of my eyes.

In winter, the sun spreads evenly on the hillside, where the dead grass and loess are glowing with a soft halo, which is particularly bright. But when I saw this, I became nervous, and I always felt that the hillside there was as hot as boiling water, and if I stood there, I might be blistered all over.

This summer, my hands were scalded by boiling water, and it hurt so much that it took a long time for me to get better.

Because of panic, I couldn't help slowing down, and Su Ye lowered his head to comfort me: "Don't be afraid, I'm here." ”

Seeing Su Ye's clean eyes, I smiled and nodded, and quickened my pace again.

Whoa—

I don't know when the sound of the water of the Bazi River appeared, but the sound lingered in my ears, making my little heart, which had just calmed down, panic again.

I always felt that the voice was like a deliberately raised voice when my grandfather scolded me.

As if he was afraid that I would stop, Su Ye held my hand tightly, almost dragging me all the way forward.

It wasn't until the Bazi River finally appeared in front of me, looking at the flowing yellow soup, and for some reason, I just felt very scared, and as I got closer and closer to the river, I was so frightened that I cried.

Su Ye stopped, frowned and yelled at me: "What are you doing here!" ”

As I cried, I pumped my hand again and again, intent on pulling my palm out of his palm.

At this time, the grandfather and the second uncle also followed.

At that time, I cried very badly, and the second uncle hurriedly rushed over to hug me, he wanted to take me away, but Su Ye refused to let me go.

The second uncle gently pulled twice, but he couldn't pull me out of Su Ye's hand, so he became anxious: "Su Ye, what are you doing here!" ”

"Put the doll down," Grandpa hurriedly ran over, first knocked the second uncle with a cigarette stick, and then gently patted me on the back: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, follow Su Ye across the river." ”

I don't want to cross the river, I just want to stay away from Su Ye.

Su Ye was also impatient, but he didn't pull me away, just stared at my face in a daze.

After a long time, Su Ye asked me, "You really don't want to go with me?" ”

I shook my head vigorously.

Su Ye stared at me motionless with his mouth half-open.

After a long time, he suddenly let out a long sigh and slowly let go of my hand.

I was like a frightened rabbit, and I quickly rushed to the second uncle, who quickly squatted down and picked me up.

Su Ye glanced at me one last time, then turned around and went up to the stone bridge sullenly.

Grandpa immediately chased after the bridge: "Master Su, the doll is still young and ignorant, don't blame him, or you should live first, and wait for the doll to get acquainted with you." ”

Su Ye waved his hand without looking back: "He doesn't recognize me, and if I forcibly take him away, I can only hurt him." It's fate to be able to see it, so leave this to him. ”

As he spoke, he took out the thumb-sized gold leaf from his bosom and threw it on the stone bridge.

Grandpa wanted to say something, but Su Ye's steps were fast, and he entered the village alley in the blink of an eye, and he couldn't even see his back.

On the other side of the Bazi River is the village illuminated by the sun, and on this side, there is the huge shadow of the Tsukasan, bounded by the river, with yang on one side and yin on the other.

Grandpa stood on the line where yin and yang were delivered, looking in the direction of the village and was stunned.

In my eyes, my grandfather's appearance is exactly the same as when Mr. Chai left the mountain pass.

After returning home, my grandfather asked me to play with soil in the yard by myself, and he dragged my second uncle into the house and scolded my second uncle.

Only the grandfather was talking throughout the whole process, and the second uncle didn't say a word.

For me, it doesn't seem to make a difference whether Master Su is leaving or staying, anyway, since then, I can still see the second uncle and Aunt Yun every three or five days, and every time Aunt Yun comes, she always brings my favorite snacks.

But for the adults in the family, Su Ye's departure seems to have a special significance, and since he left, the adults have become more and more dull.

And as time went by, this dullness became more and more serious, and sometimes when my grandfather saw me, he couldn't help but sigh, and even after winter, Aunt Yun would sometimes wipe her tears in front of me.

I don't know why this happened, but every time I saw my grandfather sighing and Aunt Yun wiping her tears, I felt like I was caught by something, which was very uncomfortable.

The days passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the winter solstice again.

This year, the weather on the loess slope is very strange, say yin on yin, say drought on drought, completely unclear law, even the wind season has come in advance, if in the past, the wind and sand barrier will always come in about half a month before the Laba Festival, but this year, just past the winter solstice, the wind and sand will come.
