After a while, Lingzhi will arrive.

She will take her son and all the valuable things in the family in the name of serving and taking care of the old woman, and she does not know how long she will stay here.

Qin'er regarded this meal as the last time she justifiably cooked it for the old woman and Zhou Mengyuan.

In front of the board, she pushed the dough vigorously with a pair of delicate little hands, but her mind kept wandering, so that she forgot to sprinkle flour several times, and the rolled stubble of dough stuck together, and she couldn't take it off the rolling pin, so she had to use a dough cutting knife to cut it, knead it into a ball, and start again.

It took a long time just to roll out the dough.

In another cave where the shovel was hidden, Zhou Mengyuan was cleaning himself, and this place would be his resting and sleeping place in the future.

When Lingzhi comes, she will sleep with the old woman with her son.

······

Half an hour had passed since lunchtime, and the old woman and Zhou Mengyuan, who were used to eating on time, felt so hungry that they couldn't stand it.

The old woman sitting cross-legged on the kang put down the Buddha beads, and in a familiar place at the end of the kang, she touched the water bowl that Qin'er or Zhou Mengyuan had been preparing for her, took a few sips, climbed back to the place, and picked up the Buddha beads again with her hands.

Zhou Mengyuan stood at the entrance of the cave and squinted at the sun, and went to the cave where he was cooking.

The noodles were finally cut, like wisps of green silk, neatly stacked on the board.

Qin'er drained the wild vegetables that had been washed and cleaned, and cut them at the other end of the cutting board.

Zhou Mengyuan came in, "I'll light the fire." As he spoke, he sat down in front of the stove.

Qin'er was displeased, the reason was that when her mother said that she would pay half of the gold bar as a dowry that day, Zhou Mengyuan did not express her position obviously, "bell bell", with a rapid and loud sound of chopping vegetables, venting the dissatisfaction in his heart.

After all, it has never been cut so quickly, the tips of the fingers are cut, and the blood will flow out.

It was only at the moment when the fingertips were cut that the bell sound stopped for a short time.

The fire was lit by Qin'er before she was shopping for vegetables, and Zhou Mengyuan didn't use a few handfuls of firewood, and the water was boiled.

When putting food in the pot, Qin'er habitually shook the water droplets on her hands, but unexpectedly, even the blood on the tips of her fingers was thrown out.

Blood and water splashed on Zhou Mengyuan's face, Zhou Mengyuan instinctively wiped it, and when he saw it, there was faint blood red on his hands.

"Qin'er, you cut your hand!"

"Burn the fire. Otherwise, the noodles stick together. After a faint word, Qin'er went out.

Standing at the entrance of the cave, Zhou Mengyuan couldn't see, pinched his fingertips with his hands, frowned, gasped a few times in pain and displeasure, and hurriedly went in.

Zhou Mengyuan only cared about burning hard, and he didn't know if the noodle soup overflowed.

Qin'er stepped over and lifted the lid of the pot, "Look at you!

After that, I immediately regretted it.

Because, she has never spoken to Zhou Mengyuan in such a tone, she has always spoken softly, and the wind is as soft as the wind.

Zhou Mengyuan didn't care, it was wrong, it was wrong, and it was reasonable to be trained, not to mention, she was the hero of the Zhou family, the sister she had been caring for and liked since she was a child.

During the meal, Qin'er said to the old woman: "Grandma, Brother Mengyuan said, Sister Lingzhi will come in a while, and she will take care of you in the future, and it will not be so often when Qin'er comes." ”

The old woman swallowed the noodles in her mouth and said, "No matter who comes, it will not affect your existence." Good boy, taking care of grandma in the past few months, I have wronged you too much. ”

The old woman's heartfelt confession, Qin'er tasted it with a wounded heart.

The bottom line of grievances was cut off, the tip of Qin'er's nose was sour, and her big watery eyes were drowned in tears.

Zhou Mengyuan, who is bent on revenge and tomb robbery to make money, rarely thinks about Qin'er's good intentions and feelings, he just thinks that Qin'er is like this because he is young, has a good relationship, stands up in difficult times, and is a good friend who helps selflessly, and even dimly thinks that she should be responsible for this difficult time.

Because Qin'er was unconditionally obedient and considerate, it also gave Zhou Mengyuan a subconscious, that is, Qin'er only had him in his heart, or even only their Zhou family, and even forgot the existence of the stalker Qi Yue and the package full of challenging meaning.

Forehead drop God, this is the result of Qin'er's selfless hard work and precious youth in exchange for days!

People often can't be too selfless, too generous, and too humble in a person, and in the long run, the result is often counterproductive, hurting their own body and mind, and saddening their feelings.

······

Under the send-off of the four masters, Lingzhi came.

It is not at all like a dutiful son and a little widow in mourning clothes, nor is it like a servant who comes to serve the old man and take care of the housework, and the majesty of pointing and calling the people of the clan is more like a master who has returned after a long time.

However, that's how she came to be.

It's a spring breeze on his face.

It's laughter.

Whether it is the lineup of the wheelbarrow or the aura of the protagonist of Lingzhi, it is enough to drive the reserved Qin'er to the dark corner.

Qin'er stood there and watched, as if she had lost her soul, completely forgetting to say hello to Lingzhi in the past.

Everyone was busy moving things, and no one noticed that there was a fairy girl standing at the door of the kitchen.

It was Lingzhi who commanded the placement of items for a while, pulled out the troublesome son, and pointed at Qin'er.

"Mao Dan, go over there and play with your aunt. ”

Qin'er felt bored, and was reluctant to go over to help, let alone take the child for Lingzhi, so she picked up the bucket and went to the river to fetch water.

"Qin'er, don't go, I'll pick it later. Zhou Mengyuan, who was holding a worn-out quilt in his arms, said.

Lingzhi glanced at Qin'er and asked you to help bring the hairy eggs, but at this time I had to carry water, I really didn't have long eyes, and I didn't say angrily: "Let her go, it's over in a while, everyone should wash their hands and faces." ”

Subversion!

It has not been enough to step through the door for less than a moment before it has already begun to be controlled, and when you come in the future, you will have to look at your face if you want to take a sip of water.

Why is Brother Mengyuan so good to Sister Lingzhi?

With doubts in her heart, Qin'er walked away with a pick, two wooden barrels, swinging on the hook.

Every time she comes down to fetch water, Qin'er first washes her hands and face, and then uses the water surface as a mirror to take care of herself, and secretly enjoy herself.

At this moment, she was jealous and jealous, and she was in no mood at all.

Putting down the pick, sitting on a stone at the water's edge, Qin'er lazily looked at the water in a daze.

I don't know how long it took, maybe Lingzhi couldn't wait, and Zhou Mengyuan came.

"Qin'er, what are you thinking about sitting there?" Zhou Mengyuan said from afar, "I haven't come up for so long, I'm still a little worried." ”

There was no answer to all questions as in the past, and there were clear and serious answers to questions, as if they had not heard, and they did not move. At this moment, how can Zhou Mengyuan understand Qin'er's bitterness, depression and sense of loss?

When he came to him, Zhou Mengyuan patted Qin'er on the shoulder, "Hey, what do you want?"

I had already heard footsteps, but I wasn't in the mood to pay attention.

Qin'er looked at the surface of the water and sat there quietly, as if she didn't hear it, and she didn't feel the light beat.

"What's wrong? Who upset Qin'er?"

Zhou Mengyuan got serious, squatted in front of Qin'er, and reached out to take her hand.

Qin'er was reluctant and turned around.

At some point, Lingzhi came, "What are you two doing without carrying water? My uncle is waiting to wash his hands." ”

This is not true. Qin'er knew that there was water in the kitchen tank, which was a deliberate urging of Lingzhi with ulterior motives. There is no debunking.

"Good. Good. I'm going to fetch water. Zhou Mengyuan responded, picked up the bucket and began to draw water.

Lingzhi came to Qin'er's side and smiled, "Yo! Qin'er, my sister is here, you are happy, why is your little face so long, is the young master provoking you?" Tell your sister, and your sister will clean him up and relieve her sister's anger. ”

Frivolous!

Arrogant!

Isn't it just that he has served the master and his wife? The Zhou family is gone, and the status of the young master of Brother Mengyuan can't be without!

Qin'er finally couldn't help it, and said indignantly: "Why, my sister dares to clean up the young master? Why? Just by your words, if the old man is still alive, it would be strange if he didn't beat you half to death. ”

In fact, the lord and the wife were very reasonable and kind during their lifetimes.

Lingzhi understood the reason why Qin'er was angry and felt that she was also very aggrieved.

I am a person without a husband, in order to pull the children, I came to the Zhou family to take care of the old people and eat, even you don't look good, you are still my sister.

"Sister, don't look at people through the cracks in the door. If my sister dares to say it, she will dare to do it. Look. ”

Lingzhi said, and grabbed Zhou Mengyuan's ears in the past, "Let you be disobedient and play in the river without carrying water." ”

"Ahh What are you doing, it hurts me. ”

"Boom!"

Zhou Mengyuan panicked, and the second bucket of water fell, spilling his own shoes and Ganoderma lucidum's shoes.

Qin'er peeked over there.

"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to. Zhou Mengyuan said, instinctively bowing his waist to wipe Lingzhi's shoes with his hands.

Taking a step back, Lingzhi deliberately said, "No need." I'll spare you today. After that, he glanced at Qin'er with a smug gaze.

Qin'er couldn't bear it anymore.

It's just that she's really not the type who jumps when she's happy and sparks when she's angry.

Bow your head and look at yourself in the water.

The microwave is sparkling, and that angry face is fluttering, but it can't go with the water.

Zhou Mengyuan re-called the second bucket of water.

Lingzhi has already prepared the picks.

"I'll do it. Zhou Mengyuan said.

"Nope. Let's let my sister come. In the future, you just have to concentrate on your own things, such as carrying water, cooking, washing, cleaning the yard and other idle tasks, all of which are covered by my sister alone. ”

Lingzhi held a hook in each hand, and a hunched waist hooked two buckets at the same time.

As soon as he straightened his waist, the two barrels lifted off the ground and began to move slightly.

- Lingzhi held his head high and walked with water in his head.

"Slow down. There are many stones on the ground. ”

Zhou Mengyuan followed, and for a while, he actually forgot that Qin'er was still by the water.

I've been carrying water for so long, and I've never heard a reminder.

Qin'er turned around and glanced at the backs of Lingzhi and Zhou Mengyuan one after the other, and when she turned around, her mind was empty all of a sudden.

Suddenly, she saw that her brother Mengyuan was waving to her in the middle of the water, signaling her to hurry over.

Can't believe it.

We'll see.

But I saw her brother Mengyuan's innocent and childish face, up and down on the horizontal plane, and the little hand was also high and low.

Oops!

Brother Mengyuan fell into the water.

There was no time to take off her shoes or any of the clothes on her body, so Qin'er fearlessly walked towards the middle of the water······

······

Zhou Mengyuan chatted with Lingzhi uphill, and inadvertently turned around.

I couldn't help but be surprised.

"Wow! why did Qin'er fall into the water!"

Lingzhi also looked back, and it was really true!

Put down the pick and chase Zhou Mengyuan.

The clear water sparkles in the sun.

The sparkling light, golden and yellow, like pieces of broken gold as thin as cicada wings, was very dazzling.

Qin'er smelled the smell of water and fish, and felt that it was difficult to walk, and her body seemed to float upward.

In the middle of the river, Brother Mengyuan's head and hands appeared and disappeared.

The more anxious you are, the more difficult it is to move forward.

Stretch out your hand to cut the water in front of you and make a path.

This slip is not small.

At the same time that Qin'er's body floated, she moved faster.

The Bodhisattva is gracious!

"Brother Mengyuan, Qin'er has saved you!"

Shame, when life is threatened, has no meaning.

Zhou Mengyuan took off all his clothes while running.

Only in this way can the resistance of the water be less.

"Young master, be careful!" Lingzhi was anxious.

A fierce man went down, and Zhou Mengyuan swam in more than a foot away.

This was followed by a rapid breaststroke.

Through the water curtain in front of his forehead, Zhou Mengyuan saw that Qin'er's head had begun to rise and fall.

"Qin'er, hold on! I'm ······"

Water is inhaled through both the nostrils and the mouth.

"Cough!cough!cough!" Zhou Mengyuan choked on Venus.

"Ahh······h

Qin'er struggled hard, wanting to continue living, wanting to grab Brother Mengyuan's hand.

Sure enough, Brother Mengyuan came.

has already framed one of Qin'er's arms.

Qin'er, who looked flustered, screamed and grabbed everywhere, as long as she could catch it, she held on tightly.

Zhou Mengyuan's hair was grabbed and pressed down.

Pain is out of the question.

I can't solve it.

I had to let go of that arm.

Zhou Mengyuan stuck the ankle with one hand, and started with his thumb with the other, breaking the little hand that longed for life.

In times of crisis, this is the only way to go.

Zhou Mengyuan held up Qin'er behind himself, kicked with all his might, and occasionally paddled under his body with one hand free, so as not to sink his head into the water, and swam out on his back.

When he arrived at the shallow water, the exhausted Zhou Mengyuan put down Qin'er and called his name repeatedly, "Qin'er!

She choked and fainted. Drag it ashore. Lingzhi anxiously ran into the water.

Zhou Mengyuan tried his best to block his light with Qin'er's body, and his walking was a little awkward.

Lingzhi understood his intentions, and said with white eyes: "Stand up, it's important to save people." Just your baby, I've used it all. ”

There are some things that need to be explained frankly and clearly, otherwise, they will be misunderstood.

Some things need to be subtle, and to put it bluntly, it will make people embarrassed.

The relationship between men and women is private, and others have no right to intervene, so it is best not to say it.

That's it, people.

Because he or she is the spirit of the universe, the supreme one who governs all things.

Lingzhi slapped Zhou Mengyuan's buttocks, "Go get dressed." I'll drag. ”

Almost everyone who grows up near the water knows how to swim, and almost all of them have experienced shocking overboarding.

Zhou Mengyuan quickly put on his underwear, and he didn't care about turning it right even if he was crooked, and he turned Qin'er over and lay down with great experience, lifted his two feet and necks to make his body close to handstand, and shook a few times.

"Wow-"

Qin'er spit out a few mouthfuls of water in a row, but her face was still blue and she didn't slow down.

Put it down, want to do artificial respiration.

Lingzhi was anxious when he saw this, "I'll come." You go aside. ”

Lives matter!

Zhou Mengyuan can watch it from the sidelines.

Kneel beside you, press the palm of your hand to the back of your hand, cross your fingers, press your heart a few times, and then press your stomach a few times.

and heard the "gurgling" sound in Qin'er's abdomen.

After taking a few breaths, except for a few mouthfuls of green phlegm, no water came out.

Lingzhi was disappointed.

Go to the water's edge and wash your mouth.

Can Zhou Mengyuan give up?

Lay down Qin'er, wrap his hands around Qin'er's stomach from above, and continuously lift, release, lift, and release······

From time to time, water spits out of Qin'er's mouth, accompanied by food.

"Mother-" Qin'er breathed a sigh of relief.

Lingzhi was startled and hurriedly came over.

When Qin'er opened her eyes, she found that she was actually in Zhou Mengyuan's half-naked arms.

After a while, Qin'er completely woke up, recovered a few traces of blushing face, and tried her best to make a smile, "Brother Mengyuan, you, are you okay?"

Zhou Mengyuan's eyes moistened with excitement, "Brother will be fine! As long as my sister is here, my brother will never be fine." Forever!"

Qin'er struggled and smiled: "Qin'er saw that you fell into the water, so she hurried to save you, drank a lot of water, and finally didn't know anything." How did we get here?"

Lingzhi sneered, "You're pretty good at making it up." He almost didn't drown the young master. ”

Under the sun.

Qin'er leaned on Brother Mengyuan's increasingly solid naked-chest, thinking, what happiness it is to fall into the water!
