90. A nursery rhyme
Finally, he didn't ask any more questions, walked to the shore and squatted down first to test the water with his hands, and then turned around, "Lan, you soaked your shoes and socks in addition to soaking your feet, which is helpful for your body cold." [”
Since the weather cooled down in late autumn, my hands and feet were often cold, and I could only fall asleep when Ah Ping had warmed up at night. Once he went to the underground secret room at night, I woke up from freezing, and then he found out and quietly went down to the ground again. I also took medicinal herbs from Lao Langzhong to soak my feet, but it didn't work much.
In fact, I know this situation, it's just that I am weak, I spent the winter in my mother's house before I married him, and I was able to wear a winter jacket like now, and at most I added two more clothes. Only Xiaotong was the only patient in the family who could be wrapped in a cotton jacket, so after a winter, the cold entered the bones, year after year, and it became cold from the bottom.
After only a little hesitation, he walked over to him, and came to the pool to see the steaming heat and the warmth he felt, which was really exciting. I was about to listen to him bend down to take off his shoes, but he reached out and grabbed my right foot first, gently lifted the cloth shoes and was removed by him, and then gently pulled down the white cloth socks to reveal my white feet.
After marriage, my married life has changed a lot, my skin was dull and my hair was dry due to malnutrition, but the improvement of my quality of life in the past year has made me regulate from the inside out, my hair has become shiny, and my skin has gradually turned white and tender.
One white covers three ugliness, and when a woman's skin quality gets better, her appearance will definitely go up. Sometimes I take self-portraits in the mirror, and I feel that compared to the yellow-faced little girl before, I can be regarded as beautiful and good-looking now.
I sat on the floor, let Ah Ping take off my other shoe and white socks, and then rolled up the trousers under Luo's skirt to my knee and put them in the water. I couldn't help but sigh when the soles of my feet first got wet, but when the warm water soaked my skin little by little, it felt like there were countless hands gently caressing, it was so comfortable.
The sound of the rope came from the side, and in a blink of an eye, he saw Ah Ping taking off his robe, and he blushed for a moment or looked at it fixedly, thinking that he was going to stage a picture of a beautiful man undressing, which is my exclusive benefit and I can't miss it.
But when he took off his robe and threw it aside, he sat down on the spot, began to take off his shoes and socks, lifted up his trousers, and put his feet into the water as I did. I wondered, "Aren't you going to take a bath?" ”
He replied without raising his head: "If you don't soak it, I won't soak it." ”
“……”
Before he came, he washed with me...... The idea of a mandarin duck bath? This kid is really a thief, and there are so many ghost thoughts in the coming-of-age ceremony.
On a winter afternoon, with the warm sun on my head, the two of them sat side by side by the hot spring and soaked their feet together, which seemed to have nothing to do with elegance, but I felt very good, and even tasted a trace of romance. Raised his head and squinted at the sun, the warm sun in winter was not as dazzling as in summer, soft and soft, so he simply went backwards and dragged Ah Ping and dragged him to lie down.
His eyes closed when he saw the flowers, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly: "Ah Ping, hum a song." ”
After a moment of silence, the person next to him said, "No." ”
I hummed deliberately: "After reading so many books, I can't even hum the song." ”
Sure enough, I heard him discern unconvinced: "What is the connection between reading more books and humming?" Besides, there is no piano here. ”
Surprised, he opened his eyes and turned his gaze to look at him, "Do you know how to play the piano?" ”
He was ashamed to say: "What's so difficult? "I ate and laughed, and I put my finger on his forehead, and I liked his bold words.
He pulled down my finger and asked, "Do you know how to bend?" ”
I laughed before I answered, and I was ashamed to say to him: "I will have a flute." The black eyes flowed, and he went seriously: "I'll do it for you when I go back." "I'm stunned, he's so versatile that he can even do the flute? Thinking that the flute can be made of bamboo, I suddenly regretted it, why didn't I say the flute through my brain? It's better to echo him and say that he can play the piano, and if he really gets a guqin, then I will play him.
"Since you know how to sing, then you must also quit. Daughter-in-law, it's good to hum me a piece as a gift for my crown. ”
"Huh?" Hum? Where are the ancient words in my head, I have the most headache for classical Chinese, even if I have heard a few ancient tunes, I can't remember the words. But looking at those dark eyes of deep expectation, I couldn't say no. finally gritted his teeth and confessed: "I can't bend or play the flute, how have I ever learned this, I just bragged to you." ”
"Oh." When I saw Ah Ping retract his gaze in disappointment and his face showed loneliness, my heart couldn't help but pinch up, and my brain was hot and blurted out: "Actually, it's not that I can't do a song." ”
Ah Ping's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he came to see me with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
I licked the root of my teeth with the tip of my tongue before I said awkwardly: "Didn't I tell you that there was a gentleman in our village before, and after he left, those children in the village often hummed a nursery rhyme, and they remembered it after listening to it too much." ”
"Sing it to me."
His tone was not urgent, but his eyes were very warm. I still closed my eyes and began to hum out in a low voice:
Hearing that Snow White is on the run, Little Red Riding Hood is worried about the big bad wolf;
I've heard that the Mad Hat likes Alice, and that the ugly duckling will turn into a white swan;
I heard that Peter Pan is not big, and Jack he has a harp and magic;
Hearing that there is a candy house in the forest, Cinderella loses her beloved glass slipper.
……
Singing and singing, my voice became more and more empty, I didn't dare to sing the lyrics, only hummed the tune. This is a song about fairy tales, which is out of place in this era. Even if I put this burden on the gentleman who passed by before, I said it was a nursery rhyme, but I still didn't dare to sing it anymore because I had a ghost in my heart.
I'm afraid that after singing, Ah Ping asked: Who are Snow White and Little Red Riding Hood? Who are Alice and Peter Pan again? Where am I going to make up these characters for him, and do I push them to the teacher again?
After being silent for a while, he couldn't hear any movement next to him, he squinted his eyes slightly and turned his head sideways, but saw that his eyelashes were closed and his black eyes were closed, his breathing was shallow, and he fell asleep. Immediately, my heart was relieved, I was too worried, this kid used the song I hummed as a lullaby, and he didn't listen to the words at all.
Stared at his sleeping face for a while, and he was sleepy, yawning again and again, this place was too warm, and he was ready to close his eyes and follow for a while. But in the next moment, my eyes were opened, and a strong intuition of outsiders came out of nowhere.
Subconsciously glanced at Ah Ping beside him, and when he saw that he was still asleep, he sat up quietly, looked around, and his eyes were fixed on the edge of the pool in the distance. In the white mist, there was clearly a figure standing there, and when the figure moved towards me, I almost jumped up, and my heart beat like thunder.
After making sure that Ah Ping showed no signs of waking up, he quietly retracted his feet from the water and got up, and did not dare to make a noise with his shoes on, so he walked barefoot to meet him. When I got up and walked forward, the figure stood in place and didn't move again, and when I got closer, I could recognize it, and when I came, I was afraid that I would run into him again, and I thought that after more than two months, he might have left, and then he was interrupted by Ah Ping and gradually took off his guard, which thought that he really hadn't left.
"I haven't seen you here for a long time, is there enough firewood at home?"
Lu Feng was the first to break the silence, I was startled by his deep voice, and instinctively looked back at the place where Ah Ping slept, although it was some distance away, and it was also blocked by the fog, but when I turned my head to meet the sight again, I still lowered my voice and said, "Can you move a step and speak?" He didn't respond, but looked behind me past me, probably certain that he saw me coming with Ah Ping.
The two of them walked a little way to the foot of the mountain, and as soon as they stopped after leaving the hot spring pool, they heard the question in front of them: "...... is he?"
"It's my father-in-law." I answered the truth.
The space was silent for a moment before he spoke again, but changed the subject: "I have accumulated a lot of dry firewood in the past two months, if you need to bring some back to your family." I shook my head: "No, someone from the family brought firewood, and I didn't bring a basket this time." After a pause, he immediately said again, "Thank you." ”
He didn't say anything, but his eyes kept on me, and I couldn't feel comfortable.
I coughed dryly twice and avoided my gaze and said, "That...... My husband is about to wake up, and we're going back. As soon as he turned around, he suddenly asked, "Do you know why I've been waiting here?" ”
Knowing clearly that this topic could not continue, he did not look back and only said softly: "If you are injured, you should leave quickly, after all, there are fierce beasts in this place, and it is not suitable for human habitation." As soon as I lifted my foot and took two steps, I felt that his eyes flashed, and he had stopped in front of me, his eyes locked on my face, "I'm waiting for you to come." ”
His height made me look up slightly when I looked at him, and when I looked at this face closely, my mind was still complicated. Pretending to be ignorant, he asked, "What are you waiting for me to do?" I don't come here very often, but the last two times were to pick firewood. ”
"You're lying." His tone was firm, and his eyes shot into my eyes like arrows, "I've been to your village. ”
No matter how strong I was to calm down, I couldn't control the change in the expression on my face at this time, and before I could ask a question, he took the first step and said, "Don't worry, I only stand outside the village and take a look from afar." Measuring the distance between the two places, you can't walk nearly an hour twice to pick firewood here. You took the golden medicine for me to heal my wounds and left food, and you came here to see me. ”
Listening to his firm analysis, I looked at him with complicated eyes for a while, and asked in a shallow voice: "So what?" ”
