Chapter 17: Find a Reason

...... "So, that little guy Yin Huai, it's still quite pitiful." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Erzhu tilted his head and drank all the wine in the bowl, his cheeks flushed, and his eyes were full of pity.

As for a certain little girl who was secretly drinking, she was already lying on the table, two smears of pink were about to drip water, and her starry eyes were no longer as smart and lively as they were when she was awake, she looked delicate and shy and gentle, and she was still muttering something in her mouth,

"It turns out... That little mute is... I picked it up, no wonder. There was a loud sound, and the little girl fell into a deep sleep.

"What a kid. Aunt Ma said with pity.

What the three people in the shop didn't know was that there was another person in the house, or a ghost, who quietly listened to Erzhuzi finish telling the story about Yin Huai, and couldn't help but feel more sympathy for the quiet and somewhat indifferent young man.

"It turns out that you picked it up, where were you before that?" Xia He looked at the girl who was asleep and thought of the quiet young man, and thought for a long time.

The big red word of joy is still ringing, there is still no sound in front of the steamed bun shop, the ghost is floating in the air, the lovely girl is wearing a small single coat that I don't know who it is, and the bun shop is beginning to be filled with the fragrance of buns, diluting the previous aroma of wine and a little sorrow.

It seems that she was worried about the little girl who was asleep, Erzhuzi and Aunt Ma didn't speak, but simply signaled, and Erzhuzi began to be busy again, pounding red beans and dough......

Everything is quiet and harmonious. Big Red Joy is smiling. Laugh out loud.

After a while, the laughter of the big red happy word was interrupted by the sound of the curtain lifted, the sound was very slight, and it could not wake up the girl in the dream, the gulls and herons in the dream, and even the sound of the rattling paper being blown by the wind, the little murmur of the red beans, and the sound of the dough gently beating on the table, could not be concealed.

However, all the sounds came to an abrupt halt in an instant, not because of the curtain that had been lifted, but because of the man who came out from behind the curtain.

A quiet man, a man who can barely hear footsteps even when he walks.

"Yin Huai. Xia He looked at the person who came in and shouted in his heart.

"Yin Huai. This is the boy who saw the second pillar coming in and shouted from his mouth.

"You're finally here. Good boy, I didn't see you all morning, and I thought you went to the river to see the scenery again. Erzhuzi seemed to be drunk and hadn't dissipated, muttering, his voice was very loud, and he completely forgot the little girl who was still meeting Zhou Gong in his dream.

Aunt Ma knocked on Erzhuzi's head from behind him, "Be quiet, Xiao Lian is still asleep." ”

The honest man took a cautious look at the little girl, and the little girl who was drunk in her dream smiled very happily.

"Yin Huai, there is no work today, so you can go back first. Erzhuzi, whose voice was many times lowered, said.

Yin Huai shook her head with a smile and looked at the little girl lying on the table.

"It turns out that the little ghost with cold noodles that the little girl said is your kid. Aunt Ma scolded with a smile.

"Eh, Yin Huai, how do you know that Xiao Lian is in the bun shop?"

"Before, when I saw Uncle Wang, they said that there was a little girl in the bun shop, very ......cute," Yin Huai said.

Erzhuzi and Aunt Ma looked at him with strange expressions, although they would not be as surprised as Uncle Wang, who heard Yin Huai's speech for the first time, but they still heard a different conversation from the usual after all.

The teenager who used to only reply a few words simply said so much at once this time, which made the husband and wife a little unbelievable.

Looking at the strange expressions of the two, Yin Huai understood something, closed his mouth, and didn't say anything more.

"What about the little girl's brother?" Erzhuzi asked, and Yin Huai, who heard the question, secretly rolled his eyes at a certain person in the room who only one person and one ghost could understand.

"He doesn't know where he's gone. Yin Huai's voice didn't hear the meaning of annoyance, but there was some banter.

"Boss, did you drink?"

"Well, drink a little, and you can bring some back later. ”

"Even if you take a bad child, how old is he, he will learn to drink like you, really. ”

......

After a few small talks, the bun shop returned to calm, not that the people had dispersed, but that it was calm, and everyone was quiet.

"You're leaving?" It seemed like a long time before the bun shop sounded.

Yin Huai was stunned for a moment and didn't say anything, as if he really should have left.

So, he walked over to the girl, grabbed Bai Nen's hand, put the drunken girl on his shoulder, and walked towards the bun shop, ignoring his dear brother's dark face in the corner.

Walking to the door, Yin Huai, who lifted the curtain, heard Erzhuzi teasing again, "Yin Huai, Xiao Lian is a good girl." ”

Yin Huai knew what Erzhuzi had misunderstood, but he didn't explain, he just smiled and left without looking back, as for the brother with a blue face, he had already disappeared into the shop, as if he had never been there.

In the shop, Erzhuzi looked at the curtain that had long since disappeared, and suddenly had the urge to pour another sip of spirits.

"What's wrong with you, a big man, why are you still putting on such a posture of a big lady. Aunt Ma was a little annoyed, waved her hand and casually threw a rag to Erzhuzi.

"He's leaving. The second pillar who was thrown by the rag said this.

Is it because of saying goodbye? After saying so many things that he had never said before, Erzhuzi wondered if he was really drunk because he had drunk a little wine.

The dough in Mrs. Ma's hand was twisted into a twisted shape, the boiling water on the pot was humming, the wind seemed to be stronger, the big red word hunting was blowing, and a little bit of fine sand was blown into the shop, and the two people in the shop rubbed their eyes......

Many people in the world, when they leave, or when they are about to leave, they will become not like themselves, gentle will become irritable, irritable will become quiet, quiet will become chatter, like to talk without saying a word, just to tell those who send themselves away, those who choose to leave: I will live well, those who are not like me, are the gifts left to you when you leave, don't worry, don't worry.

"I said, Erzhuzi, I'll go to Yin Huai's house later. ”

"Yes, bring some wine. ”

Wine is not drunk, everyone is drunk, and the bean paste in the bun shop that afternoon is sweet and seems to be a little drunk.

...... "......" Yin Huai looked at Xia He, who was worried about his sister's worried face in front of him, and said helplessly, "If you have anything to say, say it quickly." ”

Xia He shook his head, pointed at his sister, and then at his ear.

"Why? I can't speak. Yin Huai continued to walk, frowning and passing over Xia He's body.

"Uh-huh. Xia He was even more anxious, his eyes looked directly at Yin Huai, and he seemed to be able to ignite a fire.

"Say, no one can hear you, you're already a ghost"

However, it was Xia He's series of fingers and fingers that hooked up.

Yin Huai simply stopped paying attention to him and continued to walk on his own.

Xia He caught up and finally spoke, "Why didn't you say it earlier, I didn't even dare to pant when I was in the shop." Yin Huai glanced at it and didn't speak, just threw a mocking smile. Xia He suddenly remembered something.

Annoyed and angry, he scolded, "You little brat, you dare to take advantage of my sister, see how I teach you." ”

Xia He's translucent hand passed through Yin Huai, and accidentally saw Yin Huai's mocking smile again. "Okay, here you go. Yin Huai made a gesture to let go of Xiao Pian, Xia He panicked suddenly, "Don't don't, I can't help her now, it's better for you to come, you to come." ”

"But I warn you, oh, you can't beat my sister's idea, she can't marry you poor boy. ”

In the midst of frolicking, to be precise, in Xia He's unreasonable self-amusement, the two returned to the small courtyard together.

The half-stacked collapsed wall is still collapsing, the locust trees in the courtyard are back to life, and the fragrance of locust flowers is faintly floating, not as rich as before, but it is also fresh.

Xia He looked at the messy appearance in the courtyard, and was very emotional, thinking that when he came here, this small courtyard was not a pleasant scenery, but at least there was a tall locust tree, and there were low walls on all sides that could shelter from the wind and rain, and a good show of meeting the lilac girl could be staged outside the wall.

It's just that now the locust tree is half-old, the low wall is half-collapsed, and the lilac-like girl can't be seen outside the wall, and he is dead, although he doesn't know how he became a ghost who is not afraid of the sun, but he thinks it has something to do with the boy in the house.

Xia He floated to the roof, looked up at the sun after noon, and always felt that there was something faintly on the sun, calling to himself, or it was not himself who was calling.

In the middle of the night, Yin Huai walked out of the house, looking at the pile of stones in a daze, Xia He floated down from the roof and stood next to Yin Huai, Yin Huai didn't even look at him, just walked to the pile of rocks, and carefully selected them from the inside.

"What are you doing?" there was no questioning tone, only confusion and confusion.

"Fix the house. Yin Huai was still squatting on the ground, and he didn't reply, he picked very carefully, as if he was going to keep picking here, but he didn't know whether he was choosing a tile that could be used now, or he was carefully choosing the path to take in the future.

"Are you going to be here all the time?" Xia He said seriously as he looked at Yin Huai, who had carefully selected the tiles.

"Why not?" Yin Huai asked rhetorically, his tone full of certainty, as if he had always believed that he would not leave this small courtyard, nor would he leave this remote frontier town.

Xia He was silent, and could only watch Yin Huai busy.

It's just that this busyness is no longer the busyness of looking for tiles, or even the busyness of branching intersections, it should be said that it is the busyness of finding a reason.

Some people are ready to leave, they will find all kinds of reasons to leave, such as a good person in exchange for a glass of liquor on a dark night, such as a lie that they will never see each other again when they are separated, and then Yin Huai now, he needs to leave, or he can only leave, but he needs a reason to leave, even if that reason does not seem appropriate, not perfect, even if it is just an excuse......
