Chapter 32: Memories of the Rain and the Maiden
The wine master looked at the light rain falling in the sky, dripping on the camellia petals in the garden, and said to Jinxi, "Girl, this picture is beautiful, isn't it?" ”
Jin Xi didn't say anything but nodded, watching the raindrops get denser and denser, and curling rain smoke drifted on the ground.
Hongyu came over with an umbrella and said to Jin Xi and the wine master, "Let's go into the house quickly, two?" After a while, if you catch a cold, it will be bad. ”
Jin Xi stayed where she was and didn't want to go, because she felt an incomparable relaxation, as if the raindrops melted into her blood, so that her heart was watered by the cool rain, and became extremely calm, no longer as restless as before.
Jin Xi said, "Hongyu, let's stay here today." I'm pretty tired. The information conveyed by Jinxi's eyes was almost all sensed by Ruby, and Ruby nodded as if empathetic.
The wine master and Jin Xi returned to the house, and Hongyu ordered someone to bring the meal and wine that had just been prepared.
Under the faint flickering candlelight, Jin Xi and the wine chef enjoyed this delicious meal to the fullest. Jin Xi couldn't help but open the window to see the rain outside falling from the eaves to the puddle on the ground, forming a circle of ripples in the pond that could be seen outside the window, gradually dispersing.
Jin Xi chewed the jerky inside her mouth, leaning against the window lattice with her chin in her hand. Feel the cool fresh air, the cool rain and one of the few moments of tranquility at this time.
The wine master took a sip of the rice wine in the bowl and said, "Girl, do you seem to like rainy days very much?"
Jin Xi had something in his mouth, and said vaguely: "Well, yes, I have been very fond of rainy days since I was a child, and there is a story, Master, do you want to listen to it?" ”
The wine master said: "Increasing one's own experience and knowledge is the source of inspiration for painting, and it is better to obey orders than to be respectful." ”
Jin Xi began to tell a story about her childhood.
I still remember that I was only eleven or twelve years old at that time, and I always hung out with a little boy in the neighborhood. The name of the little boy, Jin Xi still can't remember, only remember the boy's nickname: Chenji.
It was a spring afternoon, and the two of them discussed going to the river to fly a kite.
"Jinxi, Jinxi, hurry up, we'll be there soon!" The little boy ran in front, Jin Xi chased behind, and the two ran out secretly, so there was no follower to follow and take care of.
Jin Xi's heart was scared and looking forward to the next adventure. She chased after her and shouted to Chenji, "Chenji! You run slower, I can't keep up. Jin Xi ran out of breath.
Chenji took the kite and said, "Jinxi, hurry up!" We'll be there right away. ”
The two came to the peach blossom forest by the river, it was the season when the peach blossoms were in full bloom, although the people repeatedly warned that the sky was not right today, and it was likely to rain, but Jin Xi still ran out secretly with Chenji.
The two walked in and out of the peach blossom forest, Jin Xi looked at the sea of flowers in front of him, and shouted happily: "Wow! Morning Division, you see, how beautiful this peach blossom forest is! ”
Chenji looked at Jin Xi and said innocently: "Hehe, no matter how beautiful the peach blossoms are, they are not as beautiful as you!" ”
Although Jin Xi was still ignorant, he still blushed: "What are you talking about!" Ignore you! ”
Chen Si saw that Jin Xi was angry, and hurriedly coaxed her: "Jin Xi, don't be angry!" Then as he walked forward, he looked around, and found a peach tree that was not too tall, and from top of it was a full branch of blooming peach blossoms, and clumsily pinned it to Jin Xi's head. Look, isn't that beautiful? ”
Jin Xi blushed and nodded, walked to the river and looked at himself in the water: a red and immature face, two buns tied tightly with red headbands, a pair of big dripping eyes, but the nose looked a little flat. The peach blossoms behind the ears look particularly delicate.
Jin Xi and Chenji continued to walk forward, and finally arrived at a clearing in the peach blossom forest. By this time, the wind was already strong, and the sun was beginning to be obscured by dark clouds.
Jin Xi said to Chenji: "Chenji, I'm a little scared, it won't rain suddenly in a while, right?" ”
Chenji shook his head: "Don't worry, even if it rains, I'm here." Besides, it's a good time to fly a kite! Look at the wind! ”
Indeed, the wind was so strong at this time that even the peach blossom trees were blown "trembling with branches", dropping many pink peach blossom petals, like a flamingo resting on the water, shaking off some feathers. Chenji said: "Jinxi, you believe in me, I have to protect you!" Don't be afraid! ”
Jin Xi hesitated a little, but still believed Chenji and said, "Okay...... Morning Division, you stay safe. ”
The two of them watched the kite they made fly into the sky flickeringly, and the little swallow kite's black round eyes and colorful feathers were really beautiful, flying in the wind, as if they were alive beckoning to Jinxi and Chenji.
Jin Xi and Chen Si looked at their masterpiece and smiled happily.
But at this time, the dark clouds in the sky also gathered more and more, and the kite did not have time to retract, as if there was an invisible hand in the air tug-of-war with Chenji. Morning Boss said, "It's too windy! The kite may not come back! ”
Jin Xi also said worriedly: "What can I do about this!" ”
Chenji's strength is completely insufficient to compete with the powerful demon wind, and the house leak coincides with the overnight rain, at this time, it really rains again, adding a trace of panic to the anxious hearts of Jinxi and Chenji, Chenji's hands are covered with rain, and when he drags the kite, he feels even more slippery, and the rain also blurs the vision of the two.
Jin Xi said: "Chenji, why don't we go back quickly!" It's raining so much! If we don't go back for a while, we will definitely be scolded by our mother! ”
Chenji shook his head desperately: "No! I'm going to take the kite back, even if it's for you! ”
But the wind and rain seemed to hear the conversation between the two, and wanted to oppose the two, but Chenji's hand could no longer grasp the kite, and the kite fell from the air as if it had been drained of its soul, and finally fell into the river.
Jin Xi wanted to go back, but Chen Si still didn't want to give up, Jin Xi said: "Chen Si, forget it, don't kite!" Let's go back! ”
The sky began to thunder like a threat, and the clicking sound and white flash frightened Jinxi: "Woo woo...... I'm scared! We're ....... woo woo...... Let's go back! ”
Chenji ran towards the river like crazy, and smashed countless peach blossoms scattered to the ground by the raindrops along the way, unable to maintain a graceful and bewitching posture.
Jin Xi chased after him breathlessly, his body was already exhausted because he was tired and did not rest, and now because of the soaking of the rain, his clothes became heavy, and Jin Xi couldn't run anymore.
