Chapter 213: The Fourteenth Day of the First Lunar Month
I still remember when she was a child, she often went to play with her friends, and the day before the Lantern Festival, they would meet together to shake the tender bamboo.
This year they are still the same as usual, this year is also the first year that Du Xinru has met Fang Yi.
"Xinru, Xinru, aren't your parents at home?" A little girl ran over and asked Du Xinru out of breath.
"No, they went to my grandmother's house, and I was the only one at home." Du Xinru shook her head and said to her.
Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, Du Xinling was taken back to her parents' house by Song Chunyan, and she was the only one at home.
They said that they would not come back until after the Lantern Festival, but it was okay to do so, every year she would spend the Lantern Festival with other friends.
Today she is seven years old, and the other children are in school, but she doesn't, and she wants to go to school together.
"Xinru, let's go play!" The girl took Du Xinru's hand and said.
Du Xinru killed her pink little lips, and after thinking about it, her mother wouldn't let her leave the house, if she left, she would definitely be beaten when she came back.
"What's wrong Xinru, don't you want to go play with us?" The girl asked, confused.
"No, it's my mother who won't let me go out. I'm afraid ......"
Before Du Xinru finished speaking, the girl interrupted her next words.
"Really, isn't your mother coming back the day after tomorrow? What are you afraid of, we don't say it, who will know if you're not at home, right? The girl said with a grin.
Du Xinru thought about it, as long as no one said it, no one would know.
"Then Xiaohong, let's go play together, you wait for me, I'll go with you when the door is closed."
After Du Xinru finished speaking, she turned around and ran into the house, closed the door in the house, and locked the door as well.
"Let's go! I've closed the door. Du Xinru said with a smile at Xiaohong.
Xiaohong smiled and pulled her to run into the bamboo forest, the rustling footsteps in the bamboo forest, and the sound of children singing.
"Fourteen nights burst fleas, there are more on the river side, less on the river side, dustpans on the river side, broom sweeps on the river side, Aunt Wang, come on, come to the river to carry fleas!"
Du Xinru couldn't laugh when she listened to the children's songs they sang, and it was already dusk at this time.
Aunt Wang, who went out, also came back, and when she heard the children shaking tender bamboo in the bamboo forest behind her house, and singing about her, she was angry.
"You little bunnies, it's getting dark, don't go home yet, and you're still singing here!" Aunt Wang angrily took the broom and rushed into the bamboo forest.
It's a pity that the children ran very fast, and she didn't hit any of them, so she could only scold and drive them away.
Du Xinru and Xiaohong hid in the distance and remained motionless, for fear of being discovered by Aunt Wang.
At this moment, Xiaohong's mother's cry came from afar, and Xiaohong was also anxious.
"Xinru, I'm sorry, my mother called me, I'll go over first, or you should go back soon!"
Du Xinru saw that Xiaohong was in a hurry, so she didn't leave her, nodded at her, and then Xiaohong ran away.
But Du Xinru didn't dare to move, because the children were still singing, and Aunt Wang was still in the bamboo forest.
If she was seen by Aunt Wang, her mother would know that she had secretly run out, and she would definitely beat her.
This hid at night, the moon in the sky hung high, and Du Xinru hid in the bamboo forest motionless.
Today's bamboo forest is not quiet, there is the sound of shaking tender bamboo everywhere, and those children are still singing Aunt Wang.
Aunt Wang really had no choice but to go home and let these bear children sing.
At this time, Du Xinru could actually go home, but she had never walked at night, so she was very scared.
Looking at the path not far away, she didn't dare to move at all.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps behind her, and she trembled with fright, and turned her head sharply to look behind her.
"What are you doing here alone?"
This is a boy, he is very tall and good-looking.
Du Xinru looked up at him, tears were about to fall.
"I ...... I was too scared to go home. ”
Du Xinru's voice was very small, as if a mosquito was chirping.
But the boy heard it, and he smiled and looked around.
"It's getting late, where are you staying? I'll send you back. The boy said to Du Xinru.
Du Xinru was a little hesitant, but finally nodded.
There's no way she's going to spend the night in the bamboo forest tonight, she'll probably be scared to death.
"Let's go! I'll send you back, by the way, my name is Fang Yi. ”
Du Xinru looked up at this tall brother, grateful in her heart.
"My name is Du Xinru, and my family lives in ......"
After Du Xinru finished speaking, Fang Yi walked forward, because the moon was very good today, and the surroundings were brightly illuminated, so he could see it without a flashlight.
"I know the way, you follow me, don't be afraid, there is me!"
After Fang Yi finished speaking, he asked Du Xinru to pull the clothes on his back, and the two of them slowly walked towards Du Xinru's house.
At this time, Du Xinru felt that this back made her feel extremely warm.
Soon arrived at Du Xinru's house, Fang Yi saw that the door was closed, and his brows furrowed.
"Is there no one in your house?" Fang Yi turned to look at Du Xinru and asked.
"No, it's my father and mother who went back to my grandmother's house, so I'm the only one in the family." Du Xinru was afraid that Fang Yi would misunderstand, so she hurriedly explained.
"That's it! You are not afraid of being alone that night, or you will go to my house! My grandmother's house is not far from here, what do you think of you going to stay for one night and coming back tomorrow? Fang Yi thought about it and said to Du Xinru.
Du Xinru didn't think about it at all, and immediately refused, but Fang Yi had no intention of letting her refuse, so he directly took her hand and walked towards her grandmother.
Du Xinru was frightened by his actions, and hurriedly slapped him, but she didn't dare to shout.
"Okay, don't fight, I'm not a bad person, my grandmother's house has arrived."
Suddenly, Fang Yi stopped, turned his head to look at Du Xinru and said.
Du Xinru looked at the old mansion in front of her and seemed to recognize it.
"Don't be scared now!"
Du Xinru nodded and followed Fang Yi into the old mansion.
Fang Yi's grandmother entertained Du Xinru very warmly, Du Xinru slept at Fang Yi's grandmother's house for one night, and returned home the next afternoon.
After a long time, Du Xinru didn't remember Fang Yi for a long time, and when they met again, it was many years later.
That's Du Xinru fell in love with Fang Yi at first sight, and Fang Yi was the same, but unfortunately they didn't remember that they had known each other when they were children.
And as far back as I can remember, they both liked each other very much, but they just forgot each other's names.
