Chapter Eighty-Four: Osmanthus Crab
When Liang Yi woke up, Duo Xiaoxuan was sitting on the bed, his hand touched the dog from time to time, a white ball of fluff moved in front of Liang Yi, and when the dog stretched out his tongue and licked Liang Yi, Liang Yi was so frightened that he put his head back.
The wind blew in through the windows, and the sun shone the mountains golden, and the foothills were still lit, and the shadows looked like many people rowing in the river. At the moment, the time is exactly 8 o'clock.
Standing at the door, I saw many people walking in front of the houses in the distance, like colorful beads, grabbing a handful and falling to the ground. In the golden autumn, many people dry the grain, and they turn the grain upside down.
Liang Yi walked on the ground with Duo Xiaoxuan facing the sun, he always liked to stand in the shadows, put his feet in the sun, and looked down at the golden sunlight shining on his feet.
Liang Yi deliberately carried him into the sun, and Duo Xiaoxuan whimpered and kicked his legs in the air, crying, which attracted the attention of the people in the surrounding row.
Liang Yi had no choice but to let him down and reprimanded him, "If you look at you, you know how to cry." Duo Xiaoxuan's voice was very loud and crisp, standing there ignoring Liang Yi, and said in his mouth, "I didn't let you hug me, why did you pick me up?"
Liang Yi thought about how Xiaoxuan was 2 years and 4 months old, and finally heard him say a complete sentence.
"It's amazing to be able to speak so quickly. Liang Yi muttered and picked up her phone, "I just wanted to take a picture of you here." ”
Duo Xiaoxuan sobbed and wiped away her tears, and ran in, Liang Yi was surprised and didn't react, "Hey?" She watched with wide eyes as Duo Xiaoxuan entered the house.
When he turned around, Dowa had already brought a bag of grapes, he lowered his head slightly, his hair was loose, and when he saw Liangyi, he asked her, "Where's the baby?"
"In the house, he's already running. After Liang Yi finished speaking, Dowa looked at her, "And then?"
Liang Yi was frightened and didn't speak, Dowa walked into the house, and after a while, he hugged Duo Xiaoxuan, Duo Xiaoxuan ate a few grapes, and put aside the unhappiness just now in Dova's arms.
Dova's face was obviously stern, it was towards Liang Yi, so Liang Yi didn't dare to step forward, and the air seemed to become solidified.
Liang Yi sat outside carrying a small bench alone, picking a few weeds and wildflowers and wrapping them with her hands, she needed to weave them into garlands.
Suddenly, a bird stopped on the side of the road, and its round head flashed, and when the wind blew and the grass moved, it flew away in the golden sunlight.
Liang Yi sat at the door for a long time, the weather was a little cool, probably seeing that Liang Yi was unhappy, Duo Xiaoxuan came over, looked at her with a puzzled face, and muttered, "Mom, are you angry with me?"
Dowa drank a can of beer, his handsome and bright eyes were still so charming, he advised Liangyi, "You are happy, why can't you get along with children?"
Liang Yi said, "Are you angry? You deliberately, deliberately keep the baby away from me." Liang Yi held Duo Xiaoxuan's head and looked at him and asked, "Did the grandmother say bad things about your mother?"
Duo Xiaoxuan's eyes flickered, he smiled, and ran to Dowa's side, shouting as he ran, "The grandmother said that your family is very poor." ”
"I" Liang Yi was angry and shouted at him, "I really shouldn't let your wife take it." ”
Duo Xiaoxuan stuck out his tongue and grimaced, "Who told you not to take me? I don't want you to raise you, I want my father to raise me." ”
Dowa pointed his head and looked at Duo Xiaoxuan, "Bad boy, Dad doesn't take care of you well, you don't know how thick the sky is." ”
Liang Yi turned his head to look at him sideways, snorted in his mouth, and said, "I don't know what he thinks about the baby I gave birth to, it's really sad, and he looks down on me so much." ”
"Now I know it's not too late, let's go, baby, dad will take you out to play for a while, maybe some children will come and play with you." Dowa happily carried him and left.
Liang Yi put her hands on her face, and as soon as Dowa left, she could stay quietly alone.
In the evening, in the distance, a man the size of a leaf was harvesting grain, and of course, after a few days, the people behind the house also began to harvest the grain, and the little boy accompanied a group of people to catch crabs in the river not far behind the house.
When his mother was sifting the millet in the evening, she shook the empty husk of the millet into the river with a dustpan and accidentally fell on the little boys. Someone yelled.
"Mom, Mom, we're down there. The little boy screamed, his mother reprimanded him, changed places to sift the grain, Liang Yi looked, the little boy who was poured on top of the empty grain kept rolling in the river, and after a while he said, "Okay, I will be scolded again when I go home, I will go home first." ”
"If you don't come tomorrow, I'll say hello to my mom. The little boy said.
"Fuck you, I'll be back tomorrow. "The boy was soaking wet, even his hair was covered with water, and it was already late for the others to catch the crabs, and it was getting dark, and some parents had already come out to call for the baby.
After a while, it was dark, as if the lights had been turned off in an instant, and it was dark all around, and only the owls were chirping at night.
There is a towering tower in the village, Liang Yi only discovered, on the layers of spiral stairs, the exquisite carvings on the wall are lifelike, this tower is the most famous attraction in the village.
The sun shines on the lawn, and from a distance, it looks like a sculptor carving a work.
"Hey. The woman with sunglasses walked up to Liangyi in high heels, the powder on her face was very white, and the lip line of her red lips was curved like a bridge, showing her coldness.
Liang Yi was watching the hawker under the tower at the time, and the cart pushed by the vendor had yellow and clear citrus, and someone was carrying a bag of citrus while biting the fruit, dark red......
Liang Yi heard someone call her, turned her head to look, well, the color of the fruit they broke was like the lipstick on the lips of the woman wearing sunglasses next to her.
It's just that after the woman took off her sunglasses, Liang Yi muttered in her heart, Lou Xiaoxiao's makeup was very thick, and she didn't like her, Liang Yi turned around and walked away.
However, Liang Yi's back was instantly hit by a big pomegranate, and the big pomegranate fell to the ground like this, and it was still half red and half yellow pomegranate skin, but it was very fresh.
Liang Yi ignored her, anyway, she would only say sneering words, "Are you being spoiled too much?" Lou Xiaoxiao's cry suddenly came from behind her, attracting the attention of passers-by.
Liang Yi just replied to her coldly, "Whatever you say." Walking down the stairs, Liang Yi originally planned to stay a little longer, after all, the scenery from the heights is shining in the sun, the beauty is intoxicating, and the wind can blow Liang Yi to feel comfortable, which seems to blow away the smell of fireworks in the world.
However, looking down at her own shadow, it was surrounded by golden light, which showed that she had walked out of the tower, and the black figure continued to swallow the light of the sun on the ground, like an octopus, popping out of the ink, and then, gradually dissipating.
There is a bare branch planted behind a house, and there are tempting persimmons hanging on the branches, this temptation seems to beckon to Liangyi, Liangyi stopped in place and looked at it for a long time, but in the corner of his eye, he saw Lou Xiaoxiao following him.
Liang Yi was unhappy in an instant, she had a plan, spared a few laps in the village, and sometimes when she walked to the mountains, there was no way, so she had to turn back, and she really couldn't see Lou Xiaoxiao on the way back.
"Doesn't this make me seem very small?" Liang Yi said to herself, she heard the sound of beating rice, and followed the sound to see, a woman was surrounded by colorful plastic sheets in front of her, and a rice threshing machine stepped on in front of her, and the woman was holding a bundle of rice with both hands, tossing and turning left and again, and the small rice was beaten out and fell into the surrounding plastic bag.
Liang Yi stood in the place where the wind blew the scent of rice, in a daze for a long time, Liang Yi didn't know that the time had unconsciously arrived in the evening, and as soon as the cold wind blew in the evening, Liang Yi was thrown back to reality.
When an 18 or 9-year-old girl passed by Liang Yi with a child on her back, Liang Yi saw that the girl's face was immature, her eyes were dull, and she was just helpless to coax the crying baby on her back, "Okay, okay, it's almost there." ”
The girl was followed by three or five men, talking and laughing, Liang Yi hurried back, just walked to the door of the house, the night was darker, looked up at the stars, twinkle and flash.
Seeing that there was no one at home, Liang Yi planned to go out to enjoy the coolness, and in the nearby pavilion, there were a few elderly people playing mahjong.
A few little boys blinked and came over with big eyes to join in the fun, pushing and joking for a while, shouting and making trouble for a while, and pointing at Liang Yi and muttering something for a while, Liang Yi is a layman, so he can only stand by the pavilion and walk around, blowing the wind.
Suddenly remembered the river in the back mountain, maybe one day she would be happy and go to catch crabs.
Liang Yi turned on her phone and looked at it, and at this time, the little boy in the back room came over and called, "Auntie." "Hey, you're also out to play? I see a lot of crabs in the river in front of your house." Liang Yi was going to find a topic.
"Catch crabs?" said the boys, "yes, let's go with us, bring a basket." "Someone proposed.
"I'm just asking if I'm bitten by a snake or falling, I'm not responsible. Liang Yi said.
"It's okay, talking so much nonsense, let's go. "A little boy was visibly impatient. "Let's go, let's go. "The little boys went to the little boys' house in the back room, some with baskets, some with buckets.
Liang Yi just wanted to pass the time and wait for Dowa to come back, after all, the river was at the back door of Liang Yi's house.
The cool water of the river, and the deep night, are fascinating, and the little boys are only interested in catching fish, because they can't see any crabs under the stones at night, so they can only catch them in baskets.
Liang Yi sat on the rocks on the shore, holding her mobile phone and turning on the light, watching the lively scene of them catching fish.
Suddenly, the wind blew, and the air smelled wisps of good osmanthus fragrance, Liang Yi spread out his hand, and a few mini osmanthus flowers floated on the palm of his hand, more and more.
Suddenly, Liang Yi saw that the lights of the house were on, and she quickly called Dova, "Hey, are you at home?" I catch crabs in the back of the house, and there are osmanthus flowers here." ”
Dowa replied, "Okay." It didn't take long to see Duo Wa carrying Duo Xiaoxuan to the back of the house, Duo Xiaoxuan looked around, his eyes were very bright, and he pointed to Liang Yi, who was using his mobile phone to light the little boys, and shouted, "Mom." ”
When the little boys saw Dowa coming, they all stopped. "Come on. Dowa said.
Liang Yi didn't understand his purpose yet, so he saw him ask someone to take a table of stools and pots, and a fire was raised, it seemed that he could guess it, Liang Yi just wanted to speak, but was stopped by Dova, "Wait." ”
A fishing rod waited quietly on the surface of the river, and it didn't take long for Dowa's skills to catch fish and crabs were revealed.
The crabs are steamed in a pot, and the fish is not used in a bucket until it is out of the pot, when Dowa asks someone to pick a bunch of osmanthus flowers and sprinkle them on the crabs.
The little boys were happily eating the crabs, you and I were joking, and the time passed slowly, and Dowa asked the little boys to leave with the extra crabs and fish after they were full, and he asked someone to pack up and leave.
Back home, Dowa told Liangyi, "Autumn is just the season to eat crabs, I bought a lot, but I didn't expect that there were crabs in the back of our house." ”
Liang Yi was a little sleepy, nodded in response, Duo Xiaoxuan still held a crab shell in his hand, and still had crab meat on his mouth, and went upstairs, and the dog jumped up and ran up to welcome the owner into the door.
The three of them slept together, dispelling the cold of the autumn night and adding a warm feeling.
