"As long as it's made by my mother, I want to eat it." Shi Yiguang smiled: "You go and call Daddy and Hua'er, just let me talk to Sister Dong Shi." ”

Shi Mu's hand stopped rubbing, looked at Shi Yiguang and stopped talking.

"What's wrong?" Shi Yiguang asked, turning his head to look at the closed door. "Isn't she home?"

Shi Mu put down the apron in her hand and sighed: "Soon after you left, she moved back." ”

"Move back? Their house burned down, and there was no one to accompany her. How will she move back? Shi Yiguang asked.

Shi Yiguang pulled Shi Yiguang to the eaves and sat down: "She built a grass hut by herself, opened a piece of land next to the house, and planted and ate by herself." I often go to deliver things to her, and she doesn't want them. Your father saw that she had done evil alone, and said that she would take it over and live with her, but she was unwilling to live or die. Speaking of this, Shi's mother sighed for a long time, her face full of self-blame: "What a good temperament before, a fire burned all away."

The whole person has changed, cold and withdrawn. ”

Shi Yiguang was silent when he heard this.

"Is she still dumb now?" Shi Yiguang asked.

Shi Mu's voice became smaller: "I used to say that her tongue was burned out and she couldn't speak, but later I learned that she can also speak." It's just that he rarely speaks. I can't say a few words all day, and I don't want to stop talking to people. ”

"Why is this all right?" Shi Yiguang asked, "Is it really a fire that turned people like this?" ”

Shi Mu was speechless for a moment before continuing: "It's not all the fault of the fire. In fact, after you left, it was okay at first, and Hua'er accompanied her to laugh. But she couldn't, her face was burned, and she couldn't make an expression. When I used to play with Hua'er, I would pull my face hurt when I wanted to laugh. Later, she was also willing to go out for a walk. It's just that when they came out, they were seen by other children in the village, and they cried and shouted about monsters. At first, Dong Shi didn't seem to care. It's just that those villagers also came over later, so that she didn't come out to be scary. ”

After a long time, she didn't leave the house. Then suddenly one day, she said that she wanted to go back and couldn't stay. So she went back to the East Village and never came again. After Shi's mother finished speaking, she raised her hand and pressed the water light from the corner of her eyes: "I'm sorry for her father's entrustment with your father." Good boy, it became like this. ”

Shi Yiguang felt dull and uncomfortable in her heart, and she exhaled: "Mother, it's not your fault. After speaking, he didn't say anything more about it, so he got up and said, "Okay, mother, you go and call Dad and Hua'er." I went to see her in the East Village. ”

Shi Mu was a little hesitant when she heard this: "You want to see her?" ”

Shi Yiguang nodded and said, "Well, it's hard to come back once, just go and have a look." I don't know if I'll ever see it in the future. ”

"Yes, then you can go. You were so good as a child, maybe she'll meet you. Shi Mu responded.

The water is still murmuring in front of the door, and the small bridge is towering. The willow branches were blown by the wind and danced. Shi Yiguang stepped out of the courtyard and saw a villager walking by.

"Ah, are you Shih Tzu? I heard that I went to the Yue Palace, and I haven't seen it for a few years. The villagers looked at Shi Yiguang with a smile and said, praising with enthusiasm and kindness.

Shi Yiguang nodded in response, and walked over without saying much.

"Ouch, Sister Shih Tzu. It's so beautiful," said the young woman with the child.

Walking again, groups of villagers who went out to chop firewood or farming met one by one. Or a greeting, or a whisper. It's just that there is amazement in the eyes.

"Is this the Shih Tzu?"

"It's so good-looking!"

"Look at this look, who doesn't love it."

"Like an immortal."

"That Dong Shi is her cousin, are they all sisters?"

"That Dong Shi used to be a beauty."

"Auntie, although I have only been in the village for two years, I have seen Na Dongshi many times. In that way, even if it was beautiful before, where can it be seen? Such "

Shi Yiguang stood still and turned his head, the young woman who spoke was stretching out her hand and rolling her eyelids to make an extremely strange and terrifying posture.

"If you don't eat people, you're human."

The voice fell, and there was a sneer.

Shi Yiguang's heart ached, and he didn't know what he thought.

She turned around and continued walking. But the words praising her beauty in her ears can raise the language of Dong Shi from time to time, making her steps slowly heavy. These words were still heard until I crossed the bridge and walked into the East Village.

She seems to know a little bit about why Dong Shi has become such a withdrawn and indifferent person in her mother's mouth.

After listening to too many praises of her appearance, she has long been immune. Words of praise now sound irrelevant and unpopular. It was the first time she hated hearing those words so much.

I can't wait to tear the mouths of those villagers who praise her beauty.

has approached Dongshi's thatched hut, and the praise of the pedestrians next to him is still in his ears.

The thatched hut was built very casually, and it could probably fly when the wind blew. The thatch on the top was probably just put up. There are no signs of rain soaking yet.

There is only one house, but the yard is very large, half an acre. It's just that the whole courtyard is surrounded by a fence made of sharpened wood.

In addition to a thatched hut, there is a vegetable patch next to it.

Shi Yiguang stood outside the fence, stretched out his hand, and put it on the wood. The top of the wood is sharpened so sharply that it seems that with a little force, it can puncture the flesh.

Shi Yiguang's fingertips gently swiped over the tip of the wood, and there was a slight tingling sensation on his skin.

"This is the Shi family girl from the West Village?" There was a voice behind me.

Shi Yiguang looked back and saw an elderly woman standing on the road with a cane. Seeing Shi Yiguang who turned around, he exclaimed: "Ouch, it's amazing, it looks so good!" ”

Shi Yi glanced at her and turned his head.

Because of her astonishing appearance, the old woman didn't care about Xi Shi's eyes at all, and when she looked back at the courtyard where there was only one broken house, she reminded, "Are you waiting for your cousin?" Can't wait, she's not at home. ”

Hearing this, Shi Yiguang looked back at the old woman again. The eyes are cold.

The old woman looked at Shi Yi's beautiful face, where could she give up preaching as an elder, and only smiled and said kindly: "Her roof was blown away by the strong wind last night, and she only built it today." Now look for mud on the hill so that you can paint the roof. Aren't you waiting here in vain, why don't you go to my house and sit down and have a cup of tea. I live next to it. The old woman pointed to the dirt yard next to her, carrying her cane.

"No need." Shi Yiguang turned back and walked the way he came.

In fact, a moment ago, she was extremely hesitant to go in to see her.

But she didn't have the courage to step in, and she thought she shouldn't have the courage to greet her.

Then don't see it.

Thinking of this, Shi Yiguang raised his head and quickened his pace. Just two steps later, the footsteps suddenly stopped.

She looked ahead of the road, carrying a bucket of mud, and stood still, staring intently at her woman.
