Chapter 38: The Daughter Country
When I woke up the next morning, I found myself nestled in Shaoyang's armhole while he was asleep. I quietly lifted his arm, climbed out of bed, and walked into the bathroom. Looking at myself in the mirror, I suddenly became shy, and I smirked at myself in the mirror while brushing my teeth. A light pink towel headband with two rabbit ears cocked up and down. Suddenly the door of the bathroom was pushed open, and Shao Yang's face squeezed in the mirror, I quickly rinsed my mouth and turned to face him. The white hurdle vest he had just put on was a little crooked, and his slightly bulging belly was exposed. I was embarrassed, shy and wanted to laugh, and I didn't know where to look for my eyes, so I pulled down the towel headband and covered my eyes, but my mouth couldn't close with a smile.
Shao Yang came over and held my face first, then grabbed my hand holding the headband and removed it from my eyes, lowered his head and kissed me lightly on the lips, and then said mischievously, "I didn't brush my teeth!" ”
I laughed and chased after him, and he ran away and threw himself on the bed.
A large expanse of sunlight sprinkled on the white quilt, giving off the smell of warm sun.
In order to see the sunrise over the Ruoer Sea, Shao Yang and I stayed in Shengyu for one more day. Yue Yue is right, to see the sunrise, room 308 is the best angle, open the curtains, standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, the light and shadow flow with time, it rises from the side of the sea of Ruo'er, dyeing the surface of the lake into a warm and colorful glow. I leaned on Shaoyang's arms, screaming that the sun was coming out. He took the opportunity to hold my ear, time stood still, and I turned my head to Shao Yang and said, "I want to dye the wall of the living room the color of sunrise, and when the sun rises, I can see the flames burning." ”
After leaving Shengyu, we rented a car through Lijiang and drove to the daughter country.
I slept almost four times along the way, and I didn't see the scenery of the eighteen bends at all, and I drove carefully for hours in Shaoyang. By the time we arrived at the big drowning, the two of us had almost reached a state of dirty, smelly, tired and thin.
The daughter country is inhabited by many children of the Mosuo people, and the Mosuo people lived a life of marriage in the early days. Shao Yang decided to settle down in the village where the water had fallen, so we found a spacious yard, owned by a local couple who lived with two old men, the grandfather was an old urchin, and the grandmother lived a very delicate life, she liked to wear dark blue cloth skirts and beautiful earrings.
After a seven-hour ride, when I arrived in my daughter's country, my waist began to ache. So as soon as I found a place to live, I ran to the bed and lay down, refusing to get up. It wasn't until the evening that Shao Yang came back from outside alone, handed me a glass of water, and said, "Xiao Lu, drink water." ”
I tried to sit up, took the glass, drank the water and felt that something was wrong, and looked sideways at him, "I don't have a cold, why let me drink water." ”
He sat down on the edge of the bed with a grin and said, "This is the water of the Daughter Country's Mother River!" ”
"Huh?" I looked at him for some reason.
He laughed, rubbed his mouth into my ear and said, "Drink this water and give birth to a beautiful little girl!" ”
I laughed and hit him and said, "Don't you have a girl named Bubbles!" ”
He said, "How can it be the same! ”
I laughed out loud at his serious expression, and said, "Then you go to the Zimu River and scoop me a cup again, and I will have a pair of twins." ”
The next morning, we were woken up by a loud noise. Ran out of the room, stood by the fence of the wooden attic, and saw the delicate and beautiful grandmother hanging her grandfather with her fists, and said with words in her mouth: "You know how to play, don't you know that I'm afraid alone?" After so many years, this broken problem has not changed. Grandma felt very aggrieved as she spoke, so she touched her tears with one hand.
Shao Yang and I looked at each other, not knowing what was going on. The tenants in the other rooms also ran out when they heard the noise, looking at each other.
The grandfather was hung by the grandmother, not dodging but not angry, but smiled and was willing to be next to each other, and when the grandmother was a little angry, the grandfather smiled and coaxed the grandmother, "Okay, okay, the children are not at home!" ”
After hearing this, Grandma punched him a few more times, "Can that be the same?" Knowing that I am afraid to sleep alone, you still go out fishing in the morning, and I am afraid when I wake up in the morning when I can't see you. ”
Hearing this, the tenants standing by the fence laughed. A naughty boy shouted, "Old man, coax your wife, kiss one." ”
Grandpa looked up and saw that the tenants in the attic were all looking at them, so he was embarrassed to get up, and quickly pulled Grandma into the house. Grandma was still angry and didn't leave like a little girl.
Shao Yang and I watched this situation, and he reached out to take me in his arms.
At that time, I was old, I wished, and I was most glad that we could still guard each other, as before, and remember how I loved you in the first place.
Shao Yang and I held hands and crossed the sea of grass, walked across the wedding bridge, kissed under the lover tree, hugged each other by the Tongxin Lake, and promised love at the Goddess Temple.
I was beside him, and all the emotions were so clear. I felt like I really loved him.
After seven days of beautiful romantic travel, we returned to Ting Nan from our daughter country. Coincidentally, on the plane back to Ting Nan, I actually met the flight attendant who had pestered Zhipeng! When she pushed the food cart to hand out our in-flight meals, I smiled at her with sincerity on her face and asked her how she was doing. She politely told me that she was fine and continued her work without exchanging pleasantries with me too much.
After she left, I turned my head to look at her back. In fact, I would like to know if she really likes Zhipeng. That joke that seemed funny to others, from her point of view, was it a gamble or a sincerity.
