Chapter 22: Another Chance Encounter
There is a very old camphor tree in the middle of Baishui Village, this ancient camphor tree is thicker than the one in the yard of the Liu family, the trunk is thicker, the crown is more luxuriant, the thick shade is so thick that the ground under the tree can not see the sun at all, the oldest people in the village do not know which year the camphor tree was planted, only said that the camphor tree grew very tall when he was a child, and it is estimated that it must be one or two hundred years old.
Under the thick shade is a vacant land, which is rammed flat and neat, a paddy field in front of the vacant land is dug deep and planted with lotus root, becoming a lotus pond, at this moment the slim lotus stem has opened the emerald green umbrella, layer upon layer of the water surface of the lotus pond, a few small frogs jump on the lotus leaf, the stomach is swollen and puffed.
As long as it doesn't rain in summer, the old women and daughters-in-law in the village love to work under the shade of the trees with needles and threads, and get together to talk about the shortcomings of the east and the west, and the meat and vegetables are not taboo. A group of little men and girls are playing on the side, and several yellow dogs, white dogs, and flower dogs chase each other and play each other, becoming a beautiful rural scenery.
After Liu Qingyan and Liu Zhi had a good relationship, they quickly got acquainted with other little girls of the same age in the village, and since then, their psychological age has plummeted, and their childlike innocence has sprouted, and they simply mixed in with a bunch of little girls and became the eldest sister.
The older girls in the village have to help the family, or they are already engaged to prepare the dowry, and they don't have time to mess with them; is too small and can't keep up with the pace, Liu Qingyan is stuck at an age that can't get up or down.
She took out all the children's games she had played in her previous life, and after she took home a basket of pigweed every day, she and the little girls gathered in the open space in the middle of the village to play. So under the shade of the tree, a group of ropes made of dry straw jumped rope, and a group of hopscotch and handkerchiefs were full of vigor and joy.
Liu Qingyan taught them to play "cockfighting", play six pieces of chess, or use mud to dry balls the size of glass beads to play mud balls.
Some of the younger men and girls couldn't join in, so they squatted aside and shouted cheering to see the excitement.
As a result, a group of little men were quickly subdued and became fans. Liu Qingyan has become the child king of Baishui Village, every time she has fun with fans under the camphor tree, she thinks that it is a pity that she didn't become a teacher in her last life, otherwise she is definitely a good teacher who mingles with students.
The men are honest, and sometimes the playful movement is too loud and bumps into the mother-in-law who is chatting about gossip, disturbing their conversation, and the mother-in-law will raise the needle in his hand and say, "Go aside, go farther, or you will be stabbed." ”
If the mother's mother was present, she would also say, "Dead boy, I won't have anything to eat for you if I make trouble", and then continue to talk about gossip with great interest.
Liu Qingyan is a pseudo-girl after all, and after playing with the little girl for a while, she gradually loses interest, and when she sees the mother-in-law chatting happily, she leans over to listen to the gossip.
The country mother-in-law is rude, chatting and chatting will inevitably say some meat words between men and women's beds, some young daughters-in-law who have just married will blush-faced and take a sip, but those mothers-in-law who have given birth to a few children are more and more energetic, and when they talk about high interest, they spit and laugh, startling the birds perched on the treetops.
Whenever Liu Qingyan listened with relish, the mothers-in-law found that there was a little girl eavesdropping on the side, so they drove away, "Go, go, the little girl is playing at home, these words are not something you can hear." ”
So, Liu Qingyan had an angelic pure smile on her face, stared at a pair of clear and innocent eyes, and showed a look of "I don't understand what you say", and then joined the little girl's camp again, but she was scolding in her heart: "Dead mother-in-law, you don't let me listen to the meat words you say in public, and the men who curse you don't raise it, look at what else you say." Sister Huang Duanzi has something in her stomach, who rarely listens to you. ”
Xie Shi didn't worry about Liu Qingyan playing outside, and sometimes came to inspect it, and saw that they were playing with a group of little girls and little men, and the oldest male was only ten years old. The teenage man knows a fart thing, and the Xie family has been here a few times and then he won't come.
After cooking that day, Xie Shi didn't see the two little ones go back to eat, so he ran over and shouted, grabbed one with one hand and dragged it back.
A little girl shouted at Liu Qingyan's back: "Sister Qingyan, you will come back after eating." ”
Liu Qingyan replied casually: "Good at it." ”
Xie Shi grabbed Liu Qingyan's ears and said angrily: "My heart is wild, I don't know how to go back to eat, I still want to come in the afternoon, don't come again, let me learn embroidery at home." ”
"Oh." Liu Qingyan rubbed her ears and said in her heart: If you don't come, you won't come, I'm tired of playing with these little kids.
Later, the frequency of going to play under the camphor tree was reduced.
Because she was busy digging wild vegetables.
Originally, the Liu family didn't eat wild vegetables, and the people of Baishui Village had enough food to eat, so they didn't need to dig wild vegetables to satisfy their hunger, only Liu Qingyan, a fake ancient man who retained the thinking of modern people, went to dig it, but it was only occasionally when he was beating pigweed, and he dug it back a little bit, or cold salad or fried to eat it fresh, like wild onions and scrambled eggs are more fragrant than fried with leeks.
That is until she finds a wild vegetable called screw cabbage on the river embankment.
Screw vegetables are the earth ring, sweet and flat, non-toxic, have the effect of nourishing yin and nourishing blood, strengthening the body, can be used both edible and medicated, and contains high selenium elements. Selenium, a trace element, plays a large role in human development.
The meat of the screw vegetable is crisp, tender and sweet, very refreshing, can be cold, pickled, pickled, it is a good dish for rice, and it can also be made into candied fruit, it is really a rare good thing.
People here don't know the benefits of screw vegetables, they just think of it as a more delicious wild vegetable, and some little guys will dig some up to eat as snacks.
Others don't know the goods, but Liu Qingyan, a fake ancient, is clear, so she carries baskets to her home, and there is always a plate of pickled screw vegetables on the dinner table, and she is ready to make a big jar of pickles and eat them slowly.
Old man Liu once said at the dinner table that when he was grazing cattle, he saw a lot of screw vegetables at the foot of the hill on the side of the mill, and Liu Qingyan remembered it in his heart.
On this day, after beating pigweed, she went home after the basket was empty, and ran out quickly, originally to call Qingzhi together, but Qingzhi refused to go, she wanted to go to the big camphor tree to play.
All the way to the west, when I arrived at the lonely fenced courtyard, I saw that the big jujube tree in the courtyard was already full of yellow-green flowers.
Liu Qingyan stopped to watch, revealing envy in her eyes.
While looking at it, I thought that there was not a single fruit tree in my yard except for a big camphor tree and bamboo, and the Liu family did not plant some fruit trees for Mao, and it was a waste of a good place, and I had to get a few fruit trees to plant in the yard in the future.
There was an old lady weeding in the vegetable garden in the small courtyard, and when she noticed that someone was staring at her yard, she straightened up, and when she saw that it was a little girl, she looked at it a few more times in surprise.
When Liu Qingyan realized that her behavior of coveting other people's fruit trees had been discovered by her owner, she felt very embarrassed, stuck out her tongue playfully, bowed to the old lady, and ran away quickly.
When she came to the foot of the hill behind the mill, she saw a large green screw vegetable seedlings, and Liu Qingyan shouted excitedly, "Mine, mine, all mine, all come to my basket." ”
Squat down and dig hard with a small shovel, and in a good mood, I hummed the song 'It's so sunny today' while digging.
Maybe he was too focused, and he was digging hard, and a pair of feet wearing thin boots appeared in front of him out of thin air.
In the wilderness, there is no one around.
A pair of feet suddenly appeared in front of me, which ......
Tainyima is scary!
Liu Qingyan's heart sank to the bottom, and her hairs stood up with nervousness,
Holding his breath and looking up, he looked up and saw a pair of long legs in his eyes.
The trouser legs are slim and the trouser legs are tucked into the boots, and you can feel that the legs must be long and straight through the fabric.
The gaze continued to move upward, and the opposite was a handsome face that could charm people's hearts.
Liu Qingyan exhaled, her heart bounced back into place, but then she became angry again.
Because the expression on this face is too bad, which makes people very unhappy.
The beautiful young man who met in the mountains and forests that day was standing in front of her and staring at her, and his playful eyes were clearly saying: I'm scared! I just did it on purpose.
'A man should be pretty and have a soap', the young man is wearing a black power suit today, tied with a purple belt, with wide shoulders, narrow waist and long legs, which is even more heroic. The longbow and feathered arrows on his shoulders were gone, replaced by a fishing rod made of green bamboo.
At this moment, this upside-down face of all beings makes someone grit their teeth and hate, and has the urge to scratch it to pieces.
Oh yes! You can come out and scary just because you're handsome, my sister is not a who only covets men, and today I'll let you know that it's not right to be beautiful!
Liu Qingyan sliced the small shovel into the dirt and stood up on the ground.
One step away.
The distance between the two is now only one step away.
Liu Qingyan crossed her waist with her left hand, poked the other party's chest with her right index finger and roared hysterically: "People are scared to death, do you understand?" You appeared in front of me like this, in case you scared me to death, can you pay for it? This girl is timid and very sorry for her life, I haven't lived enough, I want to live well and live a long life! ”
The young man was stunned, glared at Liu Qingyan as if he had seen a rare creature, and retreated again and again.
Liu Qingyan followed a few steps forward.
It's a tall item! Well, it feels good, and the figure should be quite material.
After yelling, he withdrew his fingers, recalling the touch from his fingers just now, and the outline of the breasts of those muscular men in the gym instantly appeared in his mind, and he ate tofu for himself, and he was overjoyed.
The two were now standing facing each other, with a gap of three steps, but the height difference was so large that the top of someone's head reached someone's chest.
"It's okay to grow so tall, what are you doing?" Liu Qingyan muttered and rubbed her nose stupidly.
The boy finally reacted.
What a spicy little pepper!
Yoo Qingyan's fierce reaction greatly exceeded the teenager's expectations.
"Who let you not tell me my name that day, I suffered a loss, and today I scared you to be even." The young man opened his mouth slowly, raising his chin and curling a smug smile at the corner of his lips.
