Chapter 360: Sicheng
Huo Sijin glared at Cui Wei and said, "You go and take out that Huanghuali box." ”
Cui Wei's heart moved, looked at Huo Sijin's face, didn't dare to speak more, turned around and went to the warehouse next door where the cage was placed, and soon came out with a yellow pear box.
She put the box on the kang table, and Huo Si said carefully: "You stand down, don't let people in, if Mama Yan comes, say I'm tired, go to sleep first." ”
Cui Wei stepped back and closed the door softly.
Huo Si looked at the Huanghuali box on the kang table and did not move for a long time.
Her thoughts drifted far, far away.
She was only nine years old that year, and one day Mama Yan went down the mountain to the market to buy things, and she and Cui Wei were the only ones in the nunnery.
She was bored by herself, so she went out of the house and watched the ants in the courtyard of the nunnery.
In the past, when the nurse was there, she would take her to watch the ants move on cloudy days, but when Mama Yan came, she was not allowed to squat on the ground to watch the ants, saying that this is only for country children to play, and everyone will not be like this.
Today's weather is a bit cloudy, and the little ants in the yard must be in a hurry to move again.
She searched in the yard, and sure enough, she saw a swarm of ants moving, and she was in the mood, and was about to go to the kitchen to fend the rice cakes left over from noon to feed the ants, when she heard a pleasant sound outside the wall.
The music was melodious, but at that time she didn't know music theory, she didn't know what kind of music it was, and she didn't know what kind of instrument it was.
But the sound of the song was like a kind of magic that drew her quietly out of the nunnery.
Looking for the sound, she walked to the bamboo forest behind the nunnery, she saw a young man coming out of the bamboo forest, he was wearing a lake-green clothes, holding a jade flute in his hand, his people, his flute, all seemed to be integrated with the green bamboo behind him, like a fairy coming out of the bamboo forest.
She remembered that the nurse told her about the eight immortals crossing the sea, this flute boy was like Han Xiangzi in the eight immortals.
Could it be that Han Xiangzi came down to earth?
The boy approached slowly, and she stood there dumbfounded, her feet motionless as if they had taken root.
The boy walked up to her, and the flute stopped abruptly.
"I know your name is Sijin." The young man's voice was like jade colliding, and like his people and his flute, it was not stained with any mortal dust.
"Are you a god? How do you know my name? Huo Sijin said in surprise.
She grew up in the nunnery, and she rarely saw outsiders except for the monks who came to the nunnery to deliver firewood, rice, oil and salt.
"I'm not an immortal, I'm Sicheng, do you think our names are very similar?" The boy looked at her with a smile, his eyes doting, as if he were not looking at her, but a treasure.
"Your name is Sicheng? Do you know me? She asked, it turned out that he was not Han Xiangzi.
The young man was still smiling, but there was a hint of bitterness in his smile: "I know you, I have known you for a long time." ”
"Then why haven't I seen you before? You're here, does Mama Yan know? She wondered why she hadn't heard this person mentioned by Nanniang and Mama Yan.
He winked at her and whispered, "Mama Yan knows, but you can't tell others, it's a secret between us, okay?" ”
Huo Sijin was very strange, in her opinion, since Mama Yan knew something, it was not a secret.
"Can't you even tell Emerald Wisp?" She asked.
The young man said: "No one can say it, even to Mama Yan, don't mention me, I just came to see you." ”
"You're coming to see me?" Huo Si looked at him suspiciously.
The boy nodded: "I want to know what you look like, I'm afraid I won't know you face to face." ”
Huo Sijin didn't seem to understand, she didn't understand why this young man named Sicheng wanted to know her appearance.
"Are you from my family?" As she grew up, she already knew that everyone else had a home, but she didn't, she asked her nurse and Mama Yan, and they all said that when she grew up, she would be able to go home and reunite with her family.
The boy said: "Now is not the time to tell you, when you grow up, I will let you know." ”
After that day, she didn't tell anyone about it.
Later, even she herself gradually forgot about it, this young man named Sicheng.
She even wondered if it was her dream, maybe it was really a dream, she didn't go to the yard to watch the ants move, and she didn't see the teenager coming out of the bamboo forest.
It wasn't until three years later that she came to the capital and returned to this so-called home. One day, her aunt Huo Yuan scolded her loudly for something.
Although she grew up in the nunnery, and Mama Yan was also very strict with her, no one had ever spoken to her like this, and she was not to blame for it.
She was very sad, but she didn't dare to go back to her yard, Mama Yan didn't like her to come to her aunt, if she let Mama Yan know that she had been wronged by her aunt, she would definitely have to preach again.
She walked aimlessly in the garden with green wisps, the Huo family is a scholarly family, although it is not luxurious, but like all scholars, the garden is well organized, and the flowers are constantly at four o'clock.
As she walked through the garden, her mood gradually relaxed. At this moment, a little girl came out of nowhere, and said to her: "Miss, the slave maid is sweeping the floor in the outer courtyard, last time thanks to you rewarded the slave maid with two pairs of medicinal materials, the slave's mother has taken care of her body, the slave's mother asked the slave maid to bring you some local products from the countryside, and also Lao Cuiwi sister took a trip and brought things over, the slave maid has a low status, and it is not easy to enter the garden. ”
