Zeng Yu tied the big black horse to the wooden stake by the bridge, untied the cloth bag containing the teapot and pen wash from the saddle, and the girl was already on the single-plank bridge, holding the bamboo pole guardrail in her left hand, and holding a deep pink oil paper umbrella in her right hand.

"Be careful, Miss Baby, be careful."

Zeng Yu reminded loudly, put the untied cloth bag on the ground, and hurried over-

I heard the sound of "whew", the wind struck, the maple forest shook, the oil-paper umbrella in the baby's hand leaned to the left violently with a strong wind, and the baby's posture was almost planted in the river, and the baby's posture was agile and clever, so he quickly let go, and the peach-colored oil-paper umbrella rose into the air, flew over the stream, and went straight to the treetops-

The two-zhang single-plank bridge baby posture has walked more than half, at this time even if it retreats to get wet, the infant posture looks at the feet, grasps the balance, breaks the steps, walks from the bridge in the blink of an eye, just slipped when getting off the bridge, Zeng Yu has already waited, a hand, stand firm The infant posture "Gege" smiled, but patted his heart and said: "It's so dangerous, I almost let the wind blow into the water - the umbrella flew away." ”

The girl's delicate eyebrows were stained with crystal raindrops, and the rain flowed through her smooth and white face, like the glaze on fine porcelain, and the delicate and hearty made Zeng Yu reluctant to blame her.

Lu Miaoxiang also came out, holding a green cloth umbrella, and complained on the other side of the stream: "Xiaozi, why did you cross the bridge, Mr. Zeng is coming over, you see that now the umbrella has been blown away, and both of them are wet."

The girl said: "I'm going to send an umbrella to Mr. Zeng, who knows that the wind is so strong, is this called the speed of the can't reach?" ”

Zeng Yu smiled: "I was already wet when I entered the forest, and it affected Miss Yingzi - wow, the rain was too much, and the rain flowed into my mouth as soon as I spoke." He walked back and lifted the cloth bag and said to the baby: "You follow me, hold the bamboo fence with one hand, and hold my shoulder with the other, be careful not to slip under your feet." ”

The girl raised her eyebrows, happily "um", put her left hand on Zeng Yu's left shoulder, and walked cautiously to the end of the single-plank bridge.

Zeng Yu warned: "Don't be distracted, be careful. ”

Lu Miaoxiang watched Zeng Yu and Ying Zi slowly walk over from the bridge, their hearts were lifted, and when they saw that the two of them crossed the bridge safely, their hearts were steady, and they felt happy for no reason, Zeng Gongzi and Xiaozi were really a good match-

The infant crossed the bridge, and then smiled: "I just helped Mr. Zeng, as if I was blind, there used to be a fortune teller in Qingtian Village, and every day I let a child help me to tell people's fortunes—

Lu Miaoxiang said angrily: "As long as you talk a lot, come over and get an umbrella." The clear eyes looked at Zeng Yu, this young scholar's turban was wet, but he also smiled happily like a baby.

Zeng Yu strode towards the wooden house in the rain with a cloth bag, and said to Lu Miao: "Lu Niangzi be careful, Miss Yingzi is holding your aunt a little, Xiaosheng is soaked anyway, and she doesn't care about drenching it again." ”

While speaking, Zeng Yu had already run into the chaimen, took a few steps past the small courtyard, arrived under the eaves of the wooden house, put down the wet cloth bag, wiped a handful of rain on his face, and turned around to look, the bamboo fence firewood door under the twilight, the grass and flowers had withered, the fat banana leaves were shimmering, and the baby Zi and Lu Miaoxiang came together with an umbrella, and the rain line was dense, this scene can really be painted.

Entering the eaves, Lu Miaoxiang gently stomped the mud on her feet, and said to the baby: "You hurry up and change the skirt and skirt, don't catch a cold and get sick." ”

Ying Zi looked at Zeng Yu, whose scarf and mattress were wet, and asked with concern: "What about Mr. Zeng?" ”

Zeng Yu said: "I don't care, when the rain subsides a little, I will get on the horse and rush back to the village, more than two miles away, and I will arrive in a moment." ”

The undershirt on the baby's upper body and the gown covered on the outside were wet, and the baby's self didn't feel indecent, but Lu Miaoxiang saw two small buds on her chest, and the girl had begun to grow up-

"You hurry up and change your dress, Mr. Zeng doesn't have to worry about you, I'll fry brown sugar ginger soup for you to drink."

Lu Miaoxiang pushed on the back shoulder of the baby posture: "Go quickly." ”

Ying Zi went into the bedroom of the East House to change clothes, Lu Miaoxiang took a face towel and handed it to Zeng Yu: "Zeng Gongzi will wipe his face first, and the poor nun will fry the ginger soup." With that, he went to the back kitchen with an umbrella.

Zeng Yu took off his turban and wrung out the water, wiped it on his face, looked at his body, his upper body was completely soaked, his wet clothes were cold on his skin and it was very uncomfortable, his lower body was fine, his pants were not wet, he raised his eyes to look at the sky, the dark clouds were low, and the heavy rain was splashing, it seemed that the rain was not small for a while, and the weather near the frost was already quite chilly, so he had to hurry back to the mountain hall to change his clothes, otherwise even if he had a good physique, he was afraid that he would have to feel the wind and cold and get sick, and in another country, the most afraid was to get sick-

The baby quickly changed into Yu Jing's dress and came out, and saw Zeng Yu's clothes standing under the eaves soaked, and the wind blew to know how cold it was, and said worriedly: "Mr. Zeng, how can you do this, there are no clothes you can change into here."

Lu Miaoxiang turned around with an umbrella, she had already cut the ginger slices and green onions and boiled them in a clay pot, worried that Zeng Yu would be cold, so she came over and said: "Zeng Gongzi, this rain is still urgent, you can't leave for a while, how about going to the kitchen to warm up by the stove?" - Xiaozi, you take Mr. Zeng there. "Hand the umbrella to the baby.

The girl didn't think much about it, held the umbrella high and said, "Mr. Zeng, go to the kitchen." ”

Zeng Yu said: "I'll take an umbrella." When he walked out of the eaves, he glanced back at Lu Miaoxiang, who lowered his eyebrows and smiled faintly.

Zeng Yu and Ying Zi came to the kitchen, the ginger soup cooked in the crockpot had already overflowed, the stove was warm, and it was roasted by the stove, Zeng Yu's wet clothes were steaming and slowly steaming up the water vapor, and the water vapor would force into the pores, which was not good for the body-

The ginger soup quickly boiled, the sugar jar was next to it, two spoonfuls of brown sugar were added, Zeng Yu and Ying Zi each held a bowl of ginger soup and drank it, the two looked at each other, Ying Zi's face turned red first, and he quickly drank the soup, but it was scalded again, "Ah", his lips "sizzled" and inhaled, looking shy and cute-

Zeng Yu looked at the baby gently and said, "Drink slowly, drink in small sips and keep drinking." ”

Soon, the two of them finished drinking the ginger soup, and Zeng Yu said: "Miss Yingzi, you go back to the house first, I want to take off my clothes and bake it, it is very uncomfortable to wear it wet." ”

The baby made an "oh", his face was slightly shy, and he returned to the wooden house with an umbrella.

Lu Miaoxiang was still standing under the eaves looking at the misty rainforest, and when she saw that Yingzi was back, she hurriedly asked, "Why did you come back, Mr. Zeng?" ”

The girl said shyly: "Mr. Zeng said that he wanted to dry his clothes, let me come here." ”

Lu Miaoxiang also said "oh", her demeanor and tone were very similar to that of a baby, and she said, "Then wait-Xiaozi, you don't feel cold, do you?" "Take the baby's hand and caress it gently.

Ying Zi said: "I won't, I'm just worried about Mr. Zeng." Looking at Aunt Lu Miaoxiang with a teasing smile, the baby's little face turned red in an instant, pulled out of her aunt's palm, turned around and went back to the East House, and after a while came out again, her face was still red, snuggled up to Lu Miaoxiang, quietly looking at the dripping water on the eaves, the row of small round nests on the stone steps was always not satisfied, and the water droplets wore through the stones, and the bluestone slabs were going to drip out of such a pit, but it was known that this wooden house was some years-

Lu Miao wanted to say something, but finally was speechless, and the two of them leaned silently like this, they have been dependent on each other like this all these years.

In fact, it's only two minutes now, if the weather is fine, the sunset has just set, and the sky is still very bright, but on this rainy day, the sky will get dark very quickly, Lu Miaoxiang and Ying Zi only feel that they have only stayed under the eaves for a while, and the sky will be completely dark, and the rain is still falling slowly for a while-

Babyzi said loudly: "Mr. Zeng's clothes haven't been baked yet?" ”

Lu Miaoxiang shook his head and said, "Where do I know the Dao, why don't you go and take a look?" ”

Infant Zijiao said angrily: "Mother"

Lu Miaoxiang laughed softly, suddenly his expression froze, and said, "It seems that there is a sound of a spatula-"

The two looked at each other, not understanding what was going on, and it was inconvenient to go to the kitchen to visit, worried about seeing Zeng Yu naked.

After a while, the kitchen quieted down, and the rain was light, and it was dripping down, when footsteps sounded, Zeng Yu came over wearing a mattress shirt, and said with a smile: "I went back to the village, and when I borrowed the roast clothes, I also cooked the dinner of the two of you by the way, I just hope that I don't think the cooking skills are bad." After that, he covered his head with a mattress shirt and went out of the wood door in the dark.

Lu Miao wanted to call: "Zeng Gongzi, carry a lantern to light the way." ”

In the dark, Zeng Yu's voice responded: "No need, you can still faintly distinguish under your feet." ”

Lu Miaoxiang and Ying Zi stood under the eaves and heard the sound of fishing over the single-plank bridge, untying the reins, and leading the horse out of the forest, and after a while, Ying Zi said: "Mother, Mr. Zeng, he has gone far away." ”

Lu Miaoxiang also seemed to wake up from a dream.
