Chapter 15: The Secret Base
Time flies, and what is getting closer and closer is the friendship between Fang Mumu and Yuan Chengle, at first the two always sit together on the stone, watching other children play on the side, and occasionally listening to the children's language greetings with bad taste.
"The broom is seen on the broom, the eyes are hooked, and the bad luck can be seen."
"One child no one wants, two children scare people away."
"The sick seedling met the unlucky egg, and finally died unlucky."
......
Fang Mumu heard those children's provocative words, and he would come forward and cross his waist, "Bad guy." ”
At this time, Yuan Chengle would pull Fang Mumu back to the stone very indifferently, "You don't have to reason with the insects." ”
As they grew older, Yuan Chengle and Fang Mumu no longer became the spectators of the group of children, and they also gave up the idea of wanting to integrate into that group of children.
Because I have found companionship, no matter how many others will become passers-by. also because of knowing each other, let Yuan Chengle and Fang Mumu know that there is more to this world than only quiet and smiles.
Yuan Chengle began to talk a lot in front of Fang Mumu, and the expression on his face became richer, Yuan Chengle's parents also noticed the changes in their youngest son, and they felt very relieved, they always thought that their youngest son would always die of such a cold old age.
Fang Mumu's change was not as big as Yuan Chengle's, she still smirked, but in her heart, she understood that in addition to laughing, there were other emotions, such as crying, anger, anger, and sorrow...... She kept them all in her heart, because she knew from a very young age that her father said that if she laughed, she would not be beaten too much, and that the world that she gradually recognized was no better than her father.
"I can't come out tomorrow to play with you." Fang Mumu, who was almost five years old, lowered his head and didn't dare to look at Yuan Chengle.
It has been almost two years since he met Fang Mumu, Yuan Chengle naturally knows the reason why Fang Mumu can't come out, every time he comes to this time, Fang Mumu will lower his head, feeling very sorry for him. Yuan Chengle, as always, touched Fang Mumu's head with his little hand, "I won't come out tomorrow." ”
"Mumu, go home for dinner." Yu Cai stood at the gate of his house and shouted at Fang Mumu, who was standing with Yuan Chengle.
Fang Mumu didn't glance at Yuan Chengle, didn't even say goodbye, and turned around and ran towards Yu Cai.
Yuan Chengle smiled and waved his hand, but did not say a word. Because he and Fang Mumu agreed with each other not to say goodbye, they were both afraid that fate would make this goodbye become goodbye.
After Fang Mumu returned home, she looked at Yu Cai making a shushing gesture, she knew that her father must have come back first. She followed Yu Cai's example, made a boo gesture, and then cautiously walked towards the kitchen.
Since Fang Mumu returned home, she hadn't seen her father come out of the main house. After dinner, Fang Mumu followed Yu Cai back to the side room to sleep.
"Mom, why can't you go out when Dad is here?" Fang Mumu stared at the dark room after turning off the lights and asked Yu Cai.
After a long time, Fang Mumu's eyes were about to close under the instigation of the dream, and Yu Cai's voice rang out, "It's not impossible." ”
When Fang Mumu heard Yu Cai's words, he immediately turned his head to Yu Cai, and the sound between her head and the buckwheat pillow echoed in the side room for a long time. Fang Mumu began to look forward to it, and he would go to Yuan Chengle's door tomorrow to scare him.
Fang Jian did not explicitly prohibit Fang Mumu from going out to play, but once Fang Mumu jumped too far, it might indeed cause Fang Jian's dissatisfaction, because Fang Mumu's existence itself was a mistake for Fang Jian.
"Daddy, however, doesn't seem to like us being too happy." Yu Cai closed her eyes, she didn't know if Fang Mumu, who was almost five years old, could understand the meaning of this sentence.
Fang Mumu didn't speak, she grinned a big face in the dark, trying to suppress the sadness that wanted to gush out of her heart.
In the silence of the night, Fang Mumu was hypnotized, and with such contradictory emotions, she fell asleep.
Fang Mumu was looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally left Fang Jianpan on the third day, Yu Cai was busy with housework, Fang Mumu whispered to Yu Cai's back, "Mom, I'm going out to play." Then, she quietly slipped out of the gate, and outside the gate, she saw Yuan Chengle sitting on the stone waiting at a glance.
Fang Mumu rushed towards Yuan Chengle like a wild horse, "Brother~"
Yuan Chengle stood up and looked at Fang Mumu who rushed over with a smile, he saw the dust behind Fang Mumu running, the dust was like a mirror, and he saw his smile from there.
"Three days this time." Yuan Chengle smiled and said lightly.
Fang Mumu immediately frowned, "I'm counting too." ”
"But you're here." The smile on the corner of Yuan Chengle's mouth deepened.
Fang Mumu's brows didn't stretch, she sat on the stone and looked up at Yuan Chengle in front of her, "Mom said, Dad can also play here." ”
In Yuan Chengle's opinion, this was a fortunate thing, but Fang Mumu's appearance didn't look happy at all, "What's wrong?" ”
"Dad is not happy to see me playing, let's go to a place where Dad can't see, okay?"
"Okay."
So, Yuan Chengle took Fang Mumu's little hand, pulled her up from the stone, and the two of them went to find a secret base that belonged to them.
Even the clouds couldn't stand the scorching sun, so they all fled home to rest, leaving a crazy hot sun above the empty blue sky.
Fang Mumu hunched his back and shrunk his waist, and his small body looked even smaller. She stuck out her tongue, as if she were compromising with the weather, hoping that it would control the sun a little bit, so that the heat that roasted the earth would be lighter.
Yuan Chengle glanced back at Fang Mumu, "Do you want me to carry you?" ”
Fang Mumu turned her head weakly to look at Yuan Chengle, his small body was half a pound and eight taels of her own, she shook her head after reacting for a long time.
"Are we lost?" Fang Mumu stood on his feet, squatting on the ground, looking at the increasingly scarce houses in front of him.
"There's me." Yuan Chengle's pale face showed a proud look.
"Hmm." Fang Mumu nodded vigorously, stood up, dragged the hand she and Yuan Chengle were holding, and continued to move forward.
The crockpot village relies on the embrace of Lizhishan, which is not a high mountain in the first place, so you can see the whole picture of Lizhishan from a short distance, and you can reach Lizhishan within a few miles from the village. It is a hot summer, and the vegetation on Lizhi Mountain is flourishing, which is a good place to escape the heat, but because there are many mosquitoes on the mountain, people in Crockpot Village generally do not choose to go up the mountain to feed mosquitoes in order to escape the heat.
Fang Mumu saw Lizhi Mountain not far away from a distance, her body was instantly filled with energy, and she began to jump around Yuan Chengle, "There, there, there!" ”
Yuan Chengle looked in the direction of Fang Mumu's finger, it was really a lush, vibrant place, and he led Fang Mumu towards the mountain.
Yuan Chengle and Fang Mumu had already walked a lot, and their small bodies were already a little unbearable, and going up the mountain was more laborious than walking, so the two of them didn't go far, so they sat down on the ground panting.
"It's so far." Fang Mumu looked at the big sun in the sky, and said weakly to Yuan Chengle, who was sitting back to back.
Yuan Chengle was just about to return to Fang Mumu, his eyes drifted to a place blocked by trees, other places were clearly visible in the sun, but that place was different from other places, its depths were dark and unclear, and there was a force in the darkness that summoned Yuan Chengle, making him involuntarily get up and approach.
Fang Mumu was still waiting for Yuan Chengle's words, and suddenly felt that the back she was leaning on disappeared, and her whole person fell backwards, if it weren't for her small and clever person, a bone crawled up, and the result would definitely be painful. She looked at Yuan Chengle who was walking towards one place, she forgot to call him out loud, but kept up with him closely.
Yuan Chengle looked at the hole in front of him that was blocked by branches and leaves, he didn't tear all the branches and leaves, but carefully penetrated through the middle of the branches and leaves.
Fang Mumu also followed Yuan Chengle's example and penetrated into the cave. The darkness that contrasted sharply with the outside still made Fang Mumu feel scared, she kicked her calves and quickly groped to Yuan Chengle's side, grabbing the corner of his clothes, "Mu Mu is afraid." ”
The light of the entire sky outside struggled with the flourishing branches and foliage that blocked the entrance of the cave, and in the end it was only a few tiny beams of light that prevailed.
Yuan Chengle could barely see Fang Mumu clearly through these few subtle beams of light, and he took Fang Mumu's hand, "That's it." He looked at Fang Mumu with expectant eyes, even though he knew that in such a line of sight, Fang Mumu couldn't be able to see his expectation.
Fang Mumu wanted to nod, but the darkness and coldness in the cave made her whole body shiver uncontrollably.
Yuan Chengle felt Fang Mumu's fear through the small hand of Fang Mumu that he held in his hand, he hugged Fang Mumu with his small body, and then moved towards the entrance of the cave step by step.
Fang Mumu finally saw Yuan Chengle's face clearly at the entrance of the cave, and she grinned and said, "Mumu is not afraid. ”
Yuan Chengle touched Fang Mumu's head, "Come back tomorrow." ”
Fang Mumu nodded, "Well, I won't be afraid to come back tomorrow." ”
Yuan Chengle and Fang Mumu got out of the branches and leaves at the entrance of the cave, and when they were about to leave, Yuan Chengle dragged the branches and leaves at the entrance of the cave again, making sure that the hole he and Fang Mumu found would not be discovered by others.
The days follow the sun, such a big sun, how can it be that Yuan Chengle and Fang Mumu, the two little children, said that they could catch up, and by the time the two came down from Lizhi Mountain, the sky had become gray because of the sun's farewell. The two of them were tired of dragging their calves and running, and when they saw the lights lit up from house to house, they both muttered in their hearts, after all, they would be told by their parents when they went back so late.
When Yuan Chengle and Fang Mumu finally saw the alley where their house was, they were like fish dying of thirst finally finding the home called Shui. But after seeing their parents at the mouth of the alley, the pace of the two invariably slowed down a lot.
Lin Man hugged Yuan Chengle and didn't say anything or cry, Yuan Chengle could only open a pair of innocent little eyes and look elsewhere, when his eyes touched his father Yuan Youliang, he stopped for a few seconds, and then moved away, he didn't know why, since he was a child, he didn't feel particularly kind to his parents, so at this moment he had no other emotions except guilt.
"Didn't you promise your mother to play at the door?" Yu Cai's voice was very loud, and the trembling in his voice made Fang Mumu a little scared.
"I was wrong." Fang Mumu originally wanted to pull out a smile, but she felt that her facial features were like a rebellious child, and she couldn't help her at all, she hugged Yu Cai tightly with her mouth open.
