Chapter 41: The Wind Groans in Childhood
I looked at the half roast chicken in my hand and said, "Why don't you cut this chicken in half, and you can eat it with your sister." ”
She felt out the fire fold, turned her little body around, and skillfully lit the fire: "The things made by my mother are delicious, and they are usually cooked for the elders to eat." She snorted and continued: "My mother loves me very much, and I usually eat a lot better, so sister, you just eat by yourself." ”
I laughed, and I was really touched. This kid is so nice.
"What's your name?" I asked.
"Shan Fengyin, it's the name my mother gave me. It's good for my sister to call me Xiaofeng, they all call me that. ”
I saw her busy on the stove and asked curiously, "Why are you so young that you can cook?"
Feng Yin was full of pride: "Of course! My favorite thing is cooking, and besides, what I want to cook is even more delicious than my mother's cooking!"
I set the plate aside and said, "Why?"
She said solemnly: "Because the dishes made by my mother are made for the elders, but I want to make them more delicious, because only by making them more delicious can I realize my wishes!"
I touched her head and smiled, "What a wish, tell my sister, maybe my sister can help you make it happen." ”
Xiao Fengyin looked incredulous: "You can't eat enough yourself, and you said to help me realize my wishes, sister, you lied to the child." At the end, she said with great righteousness: "Actually, it's nothing to tell my sister, my wish is to cook delicious food for the head of the family for a lifetime!"
I was stunned, and I read the information in the words, isn't the head of the family in her mouth me?
I smiled and said, "You like the head of the house so much?"
Xiao Fengyin turned his head to look at the fire, and then turned back to me and said, "Mother said that the head of the house is our patron saint, and without the head of the house, we can't live a good life like this, monsters will come in to eat people, and bad people will come in and beat us." ”
I laughed and said, "She's not a patron saint......
Who knew that she was unhappy when she heard it: "You are not allowed to say that, the head of the family, if you say that again, I will not give you meat to eat." ”
"Okay, ......," I promised, "but I've heard that there are many chefs who cook for the head of the family......
"Huh, what then?"
I looked at her a little lost and comforted: "It's okay, Xiao Fengyin is so well-behaved, she will definitely be able to make her wish come true in the future." ”
"Yes, I'll definitely learn how to cook well, so ......"
There was a faint sound of footsteps outside the door.
"Shhhhh......h......h
"What to do, what to do. Xiao Fengyin's face was full of anxiety: "You hide quickly." ”
She hurriedly pushed me into a water tank, and let out a long sigh of relief: "Fortunately, my brother usually plays hide and seek with me, you are hiding here, and you will definitely not be discovered." ”
Hidden in the water tank, I looked at her innocent appearance and laughed.
She pressed me with a serious face and followed my example: "Shhhh ”
I watched as she struggled to close the wooden lid, and for a moment her vision was blocked, except for a few glimmers of light coming through the cracks in the lid.
Then I heard her trotting away, and the door squeaked open, "Oops! It's Brother Yun!" and then there was no sound, and it felt like the wind was rushing to the comer.
Brother Yun, naturally he is the Yun Sheng next to me today. He was sixteen years old at the time, and he was only selected after this time as a member of the Twelve Guards, so I didn't have much of an impression of him at the time.
"Xiaofeng, are you not well-behaved, and you secretly came to eat again, so that my mother and I had a good meal. Yun Sheng's voice was very doting: "I've already eaten dinner, you still eat chicken, what's hot in this pot?"
This was followed by the sound of the pot being opened: "Why is it chicken again...... Xiaofeng, if you eat so much, your stomach will burst. ”
Xiao Fengyin giggled: "People are still growing their bodies, my mother said that you have to eat a lot to grow fast." ”
At that time, I hid in the water tank and listened to his interaction, which was very interesting. Now that I think about it, if he hadn't come to me, their lives would be very different today, at least, sixteen-year-old Yun Sheng didn't speak hard.
Yun Sheng may have noticed something, and asked, "Xiaofeng, you tell Brother Yun, did anyone else come here just now?"
My heart sank.
But I heard Xiao Feng's cheerful voice: "No, Xiao Feng has always been here alone." Then came the voice of cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks: "Brother Yun, don't you have to go to the elder today?"
"Well, my brother shouldn't be on duty today. ”
"Brother Yun wants to play hide and seek with Xiaofeng!"
"What are you playing hide and seek on a big night?"
"No, no, no..."
"Well, my mother is looking for you, go back with my brother, don't let my mother worry. ”
"Oh," the little wind whispered, followed by the sound of extinguishing the fire.
It was Xiao Fengyin who dragged Yun Sheng out of the door, turned back, closed the cupboard, and didn't forget to remind me before leaving: "Brother is waiting for me outside the door, I'll put the chicken in the cabinet first, I'll go." Brother Yun took me to find my mother. ”
Later, I left. Later, I thought the little girl was funny, and I went to see her a few more times. I jokingly asked her, "Xiao Fengyin is not smart enough, if I am a bad person, but you cheat your brother for me, if I want to hurt you after that, then you will be miserable." ”
Xiao Feng chuckled again: "But I don't think my sister is a bad person." ”
......
I've been thinking crankily all the way, I can't get back to my senses, and before I know it, I'm in the backyard. As I walked down the path to the kitchen, the moonlight poured down, and I saw some dry wood piled up in the mottled corners, and the kitchen door was closed, but the lights were on.
There was silence around, with the occasional chirping of insects, and a "Titicaca" sound coming from inside the house, as if someone was knocking on something.
I just came back from that broken cave two days ago, and I was lucky enough to see the back of my head without a long skull, and when I turned around, I heard this sound when I got back to the house, it was like... What does that mean?
A gust of wind blew at the right time, whew... Call... Call... It's a little cold.
I simply pushed the door in, and the wind blew in, and the candles on the table flickered, almost extinguished, but the wind was gone, but the leaves sat on the edge of the small lamp, holding a walnut clip in his hand, and some walnuts that had been smashed open were placed on the plate on the table.
