The rooster crows three times
When the foggy season arrived at my house, after dinner, he walked up and down the path in front of my house, making the appearance of looking for someone, not far from the peach and pear trees.
At that time, the sun had set, and the breeze was gentle, and it was a little cool.
Someone passing by saw the foggy season wandering here, and asked, "Are you looking for something?" ”
Foggy Ji replied loudly, "No, I'm waiting for someone." ”
Passers-by asked, "Who are you waiting for?" ”
Foggy Ji said loudly: "I don't know who I'm waiting for, I just remember that there are peach trees and pear trees here, I only remember that pears are leaving, and peaches are returning." ”
Passers-by were puzzled, shook their heads and left.
The foggy season is still looking for it there, with a sad face.
After a while, someone passed by and, out of curiosity, asked something about the same.
Foggy Season replied to passers-by with the same words.
Grandpa's original intention of telling Foggy Ji to do this was to lure Crescent Moon out, so that Crescent Moon thought that the person she was waiting for came, if Crescent really regarded Foggy Ji as the person she had been waiting for, she would be able to leave here without wishing. Like the woman on the bridge of the canal.
But the foggy season waited there until it got dark, waited until the moonlit treetops, and waited until the night dew fell, but the foggy season still did not wait for those who wanted to wait.
When my grandfather heard the first rooster crow, it was already past one o'clock in the morning. So he told the foggy season to go back to the house and rest.
Foggy Ji was very disappointed and asked his grandfather: "It seems that this method will not work." Maybe she remembered what the person she was waiting for was like, and I was recognized. ”
Grandpa didn't answer him, but only advised him to rest first.
Mom and Dad also felt that this method would not work, so they also rested first.
Grandpa was not sleepy, and he counted the crows of chickens outside.
When the third rooster crowed, my grandfather hurriedly woke up the snoring foggy season.
Foggy opened her sleepy eyes and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Grandpa dragged him up and said hurriedly, "Hurry up, you can go to that place again." ”
Puzzled, Foggy Ji asked, "It's not light outside, so no one will ask me if I'm looking for something so early." ”
Grandpa said, "The rooster crows three times, the sky will be bright before dawn, and it is said that it is dark or not, and this is the time when the crescent moon appears." You go now, you don't have to wait for anyone to ask, just wait for her to arrive. ”
The foggy season understood, and waited there to ask about it the night before, just to spread the news to the crescent moon that someone was waiting for someone here. One spread ten, ten spread hundreds, no matter where the crescent moon is hiding, you will hear the news.
At that time, the daughter-in-law of the family quarreled with her mother-in-law, and everyone knew who had a quarrel with whom the next day. At that time, people's lives were simple, and after tea and dinner, it was trivial to pass the time.
Hearing what my grandfather said, I understood what my grandfather meant, so I got up quickly, walked between the peach trees and the pear trees, and waited quietly.
After a while, the foggy season really saw several white shadows in the field not far away, chasing and playing, running on the ridge path for a while, and hiding in the grass in the field for a while.
He looked up at the horizon, and the moon had lost its brilliance, leaving only a pale white piece of paper, which seemed to be a crescent moon.
After a while, Misty Season saw a white shadow slowly walking from a distance, and stopped when he walked under the pear tree.
"Is that you?" Foggy Ji couldn't help but ask.
The white shadow seemed to be frightened by the questioning of the misty season, and hid behind the pear tree.
