Chapter 22: The New Year in the Mortal World
Yin Ruoli came to Rao's house and knew that this was the place where he had lived for eighteen years, so he felt that this place was very kind, and carefully looked at the courtyard of Rao Ge's house and the three-story building, hoping to find traces of Rao Ge's growth.
Two red plum trees were planted on the west side of the yard, which had just formed buds, and the snow covered the branches and buds, and the red plums, white snow, and dark branches formed a wonderful picture of red plums in the snow scene.
Ruoli secretly pinched a trick with his fingers, recited a spell in his heart, and the scene of Rao Ge's childhood was displayed in front of him: on the red plum tree covered with snow, Rao Ge tied a red ribbon of prayer to the high place with his toes, hoping that his mother's illness would be cured soon. In the spring of another year, Rao Ge helped Rao's father plant a peach tree on the south side of the red plum tree.
Every winter after that, Rao Ge would tie a red ribbon to pray for blessings on the plum tree, and his height followed the age, and when he was twelve years old, he had already risen a lot as if he had eaten a monkey, and he no longer had to tie the ribbon on his toes.
Rao's mother saw Ruoli staring at the plum tree and smiled: "I was seriously ill that year, and I didn't get well for a long time, and the doctor issued a critical illness notice. Xiaoge saw that I was in pain every day, and I didn't know where I heard that I could pray for blessings by tying ribbons, so I made a red ribbon for blessings, wrote my wishes, and tied them to the tree. Strange to say, since he tied the red ribbon, my illness has been getting better day by day. From the beginning of being able to lie in bed, then slowly being able to sit up, and then being able to get out of bed and walk around until he recovered, it took less than a month, and even doctors said it was a medical miracle. Until now, Xiaoge has tied ribbons to the tree every winter, and your uncle and I have never been sick again. ”
"You have a good son. ”
Ruoli is very sincere in this sentence.
Maybe Rao Ge was too sincere at that time, or maybe Rao Ge really had his own auspiciousness, his original wish tied to the plum tree reached the heavens, the heavenly court heard the prayer, and the relevant gods sent blessings, so that Rao's mother's illness could be cured. In Yinxu, this is also a rare thing.
Adopting Rao Ge is perhaps the kindest thing they have ever done.
Rao's mother was very helpful when she heard this, and she couldn't control the smile on the corner of her mouth.
Rao Jing said: "My brother hasn't tied it up this year, I'll tie it up with you in a while." ”
Rao Ge rubbed Rao Jing's head and ruffled her neat hair.
Rao Jing shouted "wow", but raised her eyebrows at Ruoli, meaning, my brother and our childhood sweethearts, you, an outsider, want to be favored by my brother, dream about it.
Phew, what a childhood sweetheart, I was so angry with you that I was confused in my words.
Rao Jing glared at him fiercely, and turned his head arrogantly with a "hum".
Ruoli couldn't help but laugh when he saw her open her hair like a cockfight. But she didn't pay attention to this little girl's trick. is to watch Rao Ge touch Rao Jing's head lovingly, the whole action reveals an intimacy, not pleasing to the eye, very unpleasant, very unpleasant.
She squinted her eyes and saw that next to the figure of Xiao Rao Ge tying a red ribbon every year, there was a smaller figure who also raised his little hand to tie the ribbon to the plum tree, and the power of prayer could obviously be seen in the ribbon, and it was also a prayer that could reach the heavens.
Yin Ruoli was very surprised, and looked at Rao Jinggao a few points.
She smiled at Rao Ge: "I'll tie it up for you this year." ”
"I can't ask for it," Rao Ge turned his head and explained to Rao's mother: "Ah Li's prayer is very set. And gave a thumbs up in admiration.
Ruoli turned around, and from an angle that others couldn't see, Chong Rao Jing smiled slightly, with a little pride in his smile. Angry, Rao Jing clenched his fists and screamed, "Ahhhh
Rao's mother patted her head hard: "What are you making trouble, like a little madman, learn more from your sister Ali, and see how quiet and sensible your Ali sister is." ”
Rao Jing became even more irritable in her heart.
Rao Ge's house is in the north, and it is as cold as on Changwei Mountain. But if there is a spell to protect the body, frost resistance and heat resistance, any weather is no different for Ruoli, so if it is in the Central Plains and the north, there is no discomfort.
The city where Rao Ge's family is located is an ancient city with a profound cultural heritage. However, these later repaired city walls are obviously not as heavy as the buildings of Changwei Mountain.
So she just took Yin Ruoli to the places she frequented a few times, shared her secrets with her, and took her to experience modern life, go shopping in the mall, and go to the playground to play.
It's the twenty-eighth year of the Lunar New Year, and many people are willing to go to the supermarket and the street even if they don't buy anything. Yin Ruoli followed Rao Ge to the supermarket, and the people in the supermarket were crowded and couldn't turn around. She herself has divine power to protect her body, and she can only passively follow the crowd around, and the goods she likes are ready to reach out and take them, but the people next to her are always one step ahead of him, and in a blink of an eye, the goods are gone.
Yin Ruoli looked at Rao Ge in surprise, and Rao Ge shrugged his shoulders helplessly: "Spring Festival!"
Yin Ruoli was not convinced, thought about it, snapped her fingers, and Rao Ge was surprised to see that the sweet-looking candy she fancied had arrived in Ruoli's hand. She opened the candy, ate one, and raised her chin angrily at Rao Ge, turned her head and left.
Rao Ge's mind was blank, he had never seen Yin Ruoli so willful, and he didn't know how to react, so he could only push the shopping cart, follow Yin Ruoli, and watch her eat while walking.
Yin Ruoli took a fancy to something, snapped her fingers, and the things she liked arrived at Rao Ge's shopping cart, and when she saw the things on the purchase list listed by Wei's mother, she also snapped her fingers, and the things also arrived in Rao Ge's shopping cart.
After a short time, the purchase was completed, Yin Ruoli threw the empty candy box into the shopping cart, and smiled sweetly at Rao Ge: "Checkout." "Walked into the long line of platoons again.
Rao Ge followed Yin Ruo to line up to check out, took the elevator down to the parking lot in the clouds, and drove out according to instinct.
Rao Ge came back to his senses and asked Ruoli what kind of kung fu it was, but he didn't hear Ruoli's answer, and turned his head to see her peeking out of the car window.
"Parking. "If you leave and pat the car window.
"What's wrong?" Rao Ge pulled over to the side of the road. Kan Ruoli pressed his seat belt, opened the car door and walked to a marshmallow stall.
Rao Ge also got out of the car and walked over and asked, "Want to eat marshmallows?"
"It's like a colored cloud. She reached out and gently touched the marshmallow, then reached to her nose and sniffed it, then put it on her tongue and licked it, "Sweet." ”
Since she met Yin Ruoli, she has always shown a kind of calmness and vicissitudes that do not match her age. At this moment, seeing her smile as clean and transparent as a child seeing something new for the first time, Rao Ge's heart shook.
He touched the place in the left atrium, felt the beating of his heart, and looked at Yin Ruoli with a smile. In a trance, I felt that such a smile had been seen in the years when I didn't know it.
He watched Yin Ruoli carefully watch the process of making marshmallows with the boss's drawing, and his hands unconsciously flipped along.
How could Rao Ge be fascinated like this?
