Volume 8, Chapter 77: Scattered Green Silk
I was emboldened, stepped forward, gently picked up his hand, and pulled the entire scroll out.
I was so proud that I jumped on another tree, leaned against the trunk, and slowly unfolded.
Inside is a beauty! A beauty who is otherworldly and so beautiful that people are jealous!
I was stunned, leaning against the trunk of the tree, trembling irrepressibly.
I don't even know why I'm shaking. Is it jealousy of the person in the painting? Or is it for what?
I don't know, I just know that my heart is so uncomfortable, sour, and I want to cry.
But I have long since lost my tears, because I am a little snow, and it is as cold as snow. There is no water unless the snow melts.
Looking at the beauty in the painting, I became stupid and stupid, and I was really sad in my heart.
It wasn't until many years later that I figured it out. It turns out that in my mind, there is also a most youthful and humble wish, as well as the purest and most bitter fantasy.
I like Uncle Yu Tong, I like it inexplicably.
But...... He never shaved, and no one ever knew what he really looked like.
In my young mind, I could only imagine what kind of face he had under his beard.
He...... Must be handsome, right? He...... It must also be cold, or he has a good sense of humor. What does he look like when he laughs? Does he have dimples? Or does he smile and show a mouthful of white teeth?
These were all boring questions, but at that time, I could only think about them boringly.
I don't know when, my mother came out of the cabin, she looked at me stupidly in the tree, shook her head, and said, "You let go." His obsession...... It's deep, and there's no one to replace the one who has left him. ”
It turned out that the mother already knew.
My nose was sore, and I really wanted to cry, but I couldn't cry, I wasn't the little girl with pigtails, and I couldn't cry casually.
After a long time, I put the painting back into Uncle Yu Tong's arms, jumped down from the tree, threw myself into my mother's arms, and called out "Mommy ......" aggrieved and sad
My mother stroked my hair and said softly, "Xiaoxue, you are still young, don't think about it so much." ”
"I know, but I still don't get it!"
"You...... You'll always understand......"
Oh, yes! People will always understand, but what about after understanding?
It's a question I can't imagine.
The next day, Uncle Yu Tong's wine woke up, and the assessment of me began.
That morning, I looked at my beautiful long hair and hesitated for a long time, I loved my long hair and looked at my waist in the water.
But...... Was this helpful? The person I like, he doesn't look at me at all, he just treats me like a child! A child who hasn't grown up yet.
Rather than that, it might as well ......
I trembled and picked up the scissors, grabbed my long hair, and cut the hair that had been kept for more than ten years!
Click......
There was a very light sound, and the green silk fell to the ground!
I cut my long hair short.
I like to have long hair because it does give people a beautiful feeling, but ...... Long hair doesn't help in any way, and it's ...... I have long hair...... No one will appreciate it.
At that time, the heart was so narrow, there was only one person, and besides him, no one else would be considered.
It's selfish, really selfish!
And I don't want to be a selfish person!
My long hair turned into short hair!
My heart is also aching, like the scissors cut on my heart.
I tied up my short hair, put on a tights, and walked out.
My mother looked at me and was a little surprised, and Uncle Yu Tong looked at me and was surprised for a while, it was the first time that his eyes stayed on me for so long.
I am very happy. I'm happy because of the lingering of his eyes.
As I walked past my mother, she sighed softly, looked at the blue sky, and said softly, "You...... Why bother? Didn't my mother always have long hair? ”
I didn't answer my mother, I just smiled.
Brother Yu Tong carried a big bad wolf with his tail between his legs and put it on the meadow outside the cabin.
Then loosen the ropes that bind it to its mouth and feet.
He and his mother retreated to the bitter tree next to me and looked at me from afar.
As soon as the wolf was freed, he turned into a fierce face and bared his teeth at me.
I was a little nervous, because it was the first time I had faced such danger.
When my mother was in the cabin, she would fight with me, but my mother was a mother, and the wolf was a wolf, and my mother would show mercy, but the wolf would not!
Its sharp teeth can easily bite through my neck, and it has great power to easily throw me to the ground.
I stared at it, my eyes unblinking, and my palms were covered with sweat.
It looked at me with a fierce look in it.
But it didn't take the initiative to attack, because it was unfamiliar here, and because he had just been lifted by Uncle Yu Tong like a chicken, which was quite a frustration for its self-confidence.
But I'm different, I'm going to subdue it, I'm going to defeat it. I can't go on and on pointlessly with it.
So, I resolutely attacked.
It dodged a few times, and was not as scared as it was just now, and began to fight back!
My mother gave me the condition that I was allowed to be injured, but it was not an injury that would affect my combat effectiveness!
So, I had to be careful to dodge the wolf's attacks again and again, and at the same time analyze its weaknesses and capture it in one fell swoop!
Gradually, I became less nervous than I was just now, and I became more and more comfortable with my moves.
And my eyes became more and more focused and sharp in the process. I seem to have turned into a wolf too!
And my opponent, whose momentum is gradually weakening, is overshadowed by my momentum.
In the end, I succeeded in crushing the wolf to the ground at the cost of having my arm scratched by it.
I beat it!
This is a sign that I can move alone in the mountains!
I am very happy! Really happy. But when I saw Uncle Yu Tong, that joy was gone.
I used to want to see him and hope that he could talk to me, but since last night, I have been inexplicably nervous and inexplicably scared when I see him.
I don't even know what I'm afraid of. Afraid he'll find out about my thoughts?
Uncle Yu Tong came over and tied up the wolf again. My mother used disinfectant to wipe my arm not very deeply...... But it's a long wound. I looked at my wounds and felt a little unhappy...... In the future, it will be left with an ugly scar.
But that unhappiness was only a momentary thing, I looked at Uncle Yu Tong and asked in a low voice, "Uncle, can I call you in the future...... Brother? ”
I have no blood relationship with him...... At least not at the time. Calling him uncle, that was just when I was a kid, and now I don't want to call him that, because it would make me look distant from him, and I want me to be closer to him.
He was stunned for a moment, bent down to lift the poor wave on the ground, walked outside, and said without looking back: "Whatever you want!" ”
He actually agreed!
I couldn't say how happy I was.
At that time, it was really easy to be satisfied.
So, Uncle Yu Tong became Brother Yu Tong!
Well! The distance between me and him was a little closer.
For a long time, I thought that Brother Yu Tong was from Wei Ling's side, so he would not age and live as long as us! This is the happiest thing for me, and what I am most afraid of is that I am still young, but Yu Tong's brother is old.
But he didn't! He hadn't changed at all, he was still the same as he had been thirteen years ago.
I really feel blessed.
But when I knew that he had someone in his heart who would never leave, that happiness disappeared.
He has someone in his heart, and this person is not me!
Mother said she was gone, was she just a mortal? Her lifespan is not as long as Yu Tong's brother, so she left first?
It's a question that weighs on my heart, and I don't want to think about it.
From the day I defeated the wolves with my bare hands, I was able to move freely in the mountains, where there were not only black bears and tigers, but also rabbits and deer, as well as many cute birds.
In addition to pine nuts, there are many wild mushrooms and wild mushrooms, some of which I know and are edible, such as fungus and porcini mushrooms! In the forest, there are also many beautiful wildflowers.
Once again, I think this place is fun, more fun than staying in that cabin!
I began to leave the surroundings of the cabin, from the forest, from the snowy mountains, from the stream,
So I went farther and farther. One day, I finally walked down the hill and saw the other people!
It was the first time I saw anyone else in more than a decade.
I feel so strange and so fresh!
I stood by the pine tree for a long time, speechless.
I actually descended the mountain like this, and came to the human world.
But...... Everything has changed. It's no longer what I saw when I was a child, and it's not what I imagined when I was on the snowy mountains.
Everything has changed, it has become unrecognizable, the prosperity of my childhood, the people I saw when I was a child, the crowds of people, all disappeared, and in its place, it was desolation! An unspeakable desolation!
It's already a chaotic world!
Everything is unfamiliar, I wander the streets, look at everything around me, look at it for a long, long time, and no one will find me strange.
Maybe even if they think it's weird, they won't think much about it. People in this world are numb.
They're like the walking dead!
I was suddenly a little sad, sad for the changes in this world, and I also kind of understood why my mother and Yu Tong's brother didn't like the human world. Because there are filthy places, there are dark places, there are unfair places, there are places where people eat people.
And the human world I saw when I was a child is only the best side of this world, its prosperity, its beauty.
Thirteen years later, when I first descended the mountain, I walked a long way down the mountain before returning to the mountain.
I don't like the world under the mountain because I don't know the people in it.
Although the life on the mountain was lonely and lonely, I gradually began to like this lonely and lonely life.
My mother is gone, and I don't know where she has gone or what she has done.
Brother Yu Tong was still there, he stood in front of the cabin, looking at the sun, frowning and pondering, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
But his expression was serious, and he should have been thinking about a very serious problem.
Over the years, I know that Brother Yu Tong is looking for something, but I don't know what it is. So for a long time, I thought what he was looking for was the man in that painting.
But all kinds of signs showed that he was not looking for that person. His range of activity is only in Hengduan Mountain!
Because...... The man in the painting is dead...... This is what my mother told me, and it is impossible for Yu Tong's brother to find that person again!
I didn't dare to disturb him, just sat alone on the wooden staircase, looking at the majestic snow-capped mountains in the distance.
Brother Yu Tong stood there and thought for a long time, until the sun completely set, he waved his knife and completely disappeared into the night.
He went away again, and the dragon walked away without seeing the end.
I looked at the sky that was getting darker, and I was very bored.
I want to drink...... I don't know how to drink yet, though.
I found the place where Yu Tong's brother usually hid wine, and came out with a jar.
I smelled it and it was fragrant, but when I drank it in my mouth, the spicy taste made me vomit it out!
I was choked, the first time I drank alcohol, it was really uncomfortable.
Looking at the transparent liquid in the jar, I wondered, since it was so unpalatable, why did Brother Yu Tong drink it so indifferently?
It was a question I couldn't figure out at the time.
Anyway, I know that alcohol is hard to drink.
I was about to go out for a walk when I put the jar back in place, and my head began to get dizzy. Just now...... I drank some of the wine anyway.
It turned out that my alcohol consumption was so shallow, and I only tasted it and got drunk. Why does Yu Tong's brother drink so much? How many jars do you have to drink to get drunk?
In a daze, I walked to my room, collapsed on the bed, and quickly fell asleep.
This night's sleep, I slept soundly!
The next day, I went down again, because life on the mountain was so boring.
Originally, I was just going to go down for a walk, but I didn't expect to meet another person: my cousin!
She's looking for me, and she's been looking for years!
The moment I saw her, I almost didn't recognize her.
I was stunned for a long time, and then I hugged my cousin, crying and making trouble.
I'm so happy.
took my cousin, went to a restaurant, ordered a few dishes, made a pot of tea, and sat together and gossiped for a long time...... It's all about being a kid. As soon as I saw my cousin, it was like an open chatterbox, and I said endlessly.
When I talked about what happened when I was a child, I remembered: What is my cousin looking for me? And when I look at her, I have to find me.
Seeing that I was finally back to the topic, my cousin looked at me, and the expression on her face began to become serious: "Xiaoxue, I have something to tell you, a very important and important thing!" ”
"Hmmm! I know this! ”
"You know?" The cousin shook her head and said, "How could you possibly know?" Xiaoxue, before I talk about this, you must be mentally prepared. ”
"Just say it!" I didn't care, I didn't take my cousin's words seriously at all.
