Uncle Su's words invisibly put a lot of pressure on me, and the difficult choice that had faded into my chest was pressed heavily again. Qingya naturally understood his father's words, and the tip of her tongue was against the chopsticks, and she was frowning and looking at me quietly. I don't know what she was thinking, but if I had to choose, I might consider staying here.

I knew that the old captain would not embarrass me, and if I did not return for a long time, he would set sail on his own, and would not even come to the village of Camellia to see me. I turned my head to look at Ling Xin, who was still eating with relish, and only stopped when I saw him seeing me, swallowed the food, and whispered with a grin:

"If I had met such a good girl, I would have married her home long ago." Then he continued to eat.

I looked at Qingya again, she was frowning absent-mindedly and taking small bites, and I knew she wanted me to stay, and like Dr. Lowe, the rhetoric about being responsible to the old captain was only because they were good people.

I sighed softly, and then started eating, the atmosphere after that was very awkward, Uncle Su Qi didn't say anything, just drank cup after cup, Ling Xin and I just quietly accompanied him, and no one talked about any topics.

After eating, I walked out into the yard alone, saying that it was breakfast, but it was actually close to noon, the weather was gradually getting warmer, and the sun was wrapping the whole town in gold, and I remembered that in the past, whenever this time, Luke and Cher would drag me together to the clear river. Those warm moments seem to have the same effect, and the soul is full of happiness.

I will hold her hand for the rest of my life. Thinking of this, I walked into the house, there was no one in the living room, they should all go back to their rooms, I walked to the elegant room, and just when I wanted to knock on the door, I heard Ling Xin's voice:

"After all, it's like my brother, you want me to faint him..."

"I don't want to embarrass him," Qingya said softly, "I know him better than he does, and if he abandons the old captain like this, he will feel guilty for the rest of his life." ”

"I know you're looking out for him... But you have to respect him no matter how you choose. ”

"He," Qingya said, and my body accidentally scratched the door panel as I hurriedly returned to my room. Lying on the kang and thinking about what they said, maybe Qingya was right, maybe I will still think of the old captain from time to time in my later life, and miss the days with him.

In the afternoon, I walked alone in the mountains and forests, and Ling Xin wanted to come out with me, but I refused him. The colorful camellia blossoms bloom in the mountains, and I wonder if they will be so proud after the first snowfall.

The path is still the same as the original, there is no change, and I don't know how many times I have stepped on the days of elegant medicine, but now it is a different taste to come here alone. I walked alone into the woods, and as the wind grew colder, I wrapped my clothes tightly and picked a few herbs. I knew what formula Qingya gave me to drink last time, so I picked the antidote in advance, and walked to the back of the mountain, I haven't seen it at night here, the latest is to the sky with a red glow, Qingya pulled me back, she said that this place is too far from home, and she will be scared at night.

The sky gradually became overcast, the slightest raindrops with ice flowers poured in the mountains, every time we collected medicine together, I would learn the old captain's method to predict the weather, there was almost no failure, but today I was alone and watched the sky quietly but forgot.

Maybe I was hoping that the cool rain would also make me sober, so I slowly walked home in the rain, Qingya was looking around with an umbrella, and when she saw me coming back, she hurriedly ran over and raised the umbrella to my head.

"It's cold, go back and change your clothes."

I glanced at her, she didn't ask me where I went, she didn't ask me why I didn't come back earlier, the rain passed through her side, the umbrella was big enough, but she held it up completely on my side, I suddenly like crazy, turned around and hugged her tightly, the umbrella fell to the ground, she hugged me tightly, just like that, we held silently in the cold rain, until we couldn't breathe, then slowly let go of each other, and walked back to the house.

"Didn't you bring an umbrella?" Aunt Jinfang saw the two of us soaking wet, and hurriedly greeted her: "Xiao Yi, you wait for me, I'll give you your uncle's clothes," and turned her head to look at Qingya: "You also hurry up and go back to the house to change your clothes." ”

After a while, Aunt Jinfang entered my house with clean clothes, put them on the kang and walked out again, Ling Xin was not in the room, and he knew that he went back to Uncle Qin Yi without asking. I changed my clothes and sat on the kang, slowly warming myself up, I suddenly found myself a child, so self-willed, so disregarding the overall situation, from the moment I met Xue'er, I seemed to have changed a person, it turned out that I always thought that life was like this, and now I find that I don't know too much.

I took out the herbs in my pocket, roasted them on the kang and dried them, picked the part inside and kneaded them into powder and put them in a small bag, and as soon as I put the bag in my pocket, there was a knock on the door outside, and when I opened the door, it was Aunt Jinfang.

"What's wrong with you and Xiaoya?" She sat on the kang next to me and said softly, "When I asked him what was going on, she didn't reply to me, as if she was in a bad mood." ”

"The umbrella fell outside, and for a while... I'll pick it up in a moment. ”

"No," Aunt Jinfang really wanted to know what I was going to say, so she naturally shook her head: "Your uncle and I both know what you mean, and we also understand what problems you are facing, I don't know if Qingya didn't tell you about our original affairs, some things are regretted only after you missed them, what do you say?" ”

"I understand what you mean," I replied to her, looking at Aunt Jinfang's concerned eyes, and I was in a trance reminded of the times when I was disliked, I had been unworthy of love since I was a child, and it was only now that I was flattered when I was sure many times that someone really treated me as if I were their own child:

"But... But I can't live without the old captain either. ”

Aunt Jinfang smiled, patted me on the shoulder and said:

"It depends on your wishes, neither Uncle Su nor I will interfere with your decision," after speaking, she stood up, walked to the door and turned back and said, "What do you want to eat at night?" ”

"Oh, it's all right."

"You kid can be old, you are not as strong as other people's Ling Xin, alas, by the way, he went to someone else's house in the afternoon and didn't know if he would come to eat at night."

"You should come back." I knew that Ling Xin had discussed with Qingya to drug me in wine, so I guessed that he should come back.

"Oh, he told you, well, I'll do more in the evening." With that, he turned around and walked out.
