Chapter 47: The Past
"What the hell is going on? I don't know you, but you're talking nonsense here! Coriander asked Xi Yan.
"Brother Qing, you don't know me, it's normal, who will remember the things of his previous life? Your original name was Song Qing, we met eight hundred years ago, when I was still a chipmunk who had just cultivated into a human form, the day we met, I fought with a lizard because of greed, was bitten by it on the leg, fell from the tree, was picked up by you and brought home, and when my injuries healed, I transformed into a human form and knew you again, fell in love with you, and since then we have lived a happy life of male farmers and female weavers, but ...... After all, people have a short lifespan, only a few decades, and in the end, they can't escape birth, old age, sickness and death, and they will eventually separate heaven and man! Xiyan told the story.
"What does that have to do with you robbing the bride?" Yuzhu asked.
"Since Brother Qing's death, I have been looking for a way to resurrect him, and then I got the news from an elder in our Chipmunk family, if I can find a thousand wedding dresses in the place where I met Brother Qing, I can reunite with him and continue the relationship, and it must be a thousand wedding dresses to be with Brother Qing for a long time." Xiyan stared at Qianqing affectionately and said.
"Your story is touching, but you can't hurt her! It's a mistake to rob someone's bride after all! Yuzhu said.
"I have never hurt her life, every time I scared the wedding team away, only the bride, only the wedding dress, and then I sent the bride back safely, and I did not hurt anyone's life!" Xiyan explained that it was also the first time she had seen a kissing party that was not afraid of her scare.
"Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, there will be no more ghost mountains in the future." Yunhua Road.
"Coriander green! You can't let people down! People have been looking for you for 800 years! Yuzhu patted Qianqing's shoulder and said.
The sudden story made Qianqing not know what to do for a while, and Yunhua Yuzhu left the room early to let the two be alone.
………………
One day 800 years ago, a little chipmunk jumped around on the pine tree, and the two cheeks were stuffed with round bulges, chattering and saying something, this year's pine cone is really rich, it wants to fill its small storehouse, this winter it can spend steadily, no, it has to pick more, pick more. Little Chestnut has a fruit in her mouth, and two small paws hold two pine cones, occupying a full house back and forth in and out of her nest. A lizard blocked the way of the little flower chestnut, spit red stars to it a little provocative, the little flower chestnut was not to be outdone, let go of the fruit bared teeth and threatened, a posture of not accepting to do it, not surprisingly the two of them did together, bit each other from the tree and fell to the ground to roll and continue to fight, under the fierce attack of the little flower chestnut the lizard was defeated, ran away in the gray, it did not get any benefits, the legs and bodies were injured, after watching the lizard run away, he relaxed his vigilance and slipped out of the pine roots, with his back to snuggle.
There is a village at the foot of Huai Mountain, and the villagers in the village know that this Huai Mountain is full of pine trees, and when the pine cones are ripe, many villagers go up the mountain to pick pine cones. Song Qing had nothing to do that evening, so he wanted to go up the mountain to pick some back, and at that time he picked up an injured little chipmunk, at first the little chipmunk also bared his teeth at him to scare him, he slowly approached and whispered to it, it would not hurt it, it may be that the little flowerberry also felt that the other party would not hurt it, comforting the nest in Song Qing's hands, simply treated the wound for it first, and he moved the pine cone in his back basket to make a comfortable place for the little flowerberry. In this way, one person returned home with a basket and a mouse, and when he arrived at home, Song Qing first rummaged through the box for the little chestnut to find out the wound medicine, cleaned the wound and bandaged it, and then found a small frame for it, laid a simple nest of cloth, and made it.
"The nest is a little simple, don't dislike it, just take it first!" Song Qingdao.
Little Blossomberry stared at its bright eyes, blinking at him like she was looking at something strange.
Song Qing took some peanuts and put them next to Xiao Huali, "There are no good things at home, but some peanuts are full, I am a poor and sour show only three times to enter Beijing to catch the exam, and I have failed again and again, and the two acres of land left by my parents let me change the road, and now there are only seven points of land left, but I still have a cow, and I will be enough to feed you in the future, hey!" In the future, I won't go anymore, I'm no longer whimsical, it's good to be a farmer, if you don't dislike following me, you and I will be your companion! Little Flowerberry tilted her head and looked at Song Qing for a long time, crawled out of the frame with her legs on crutches, jumped into Song Qing's arms and rubbed it, as if responding to him.
Song Qing looked out the window, the sunset burned through the clouds, soaked in the sky and bloomed wantonly, he looked at the little chipmunk in his arms and said, "You don't have a name yet, you will be called Xiyan in the future!" Good no good! ”
Little Chestnut seemed to be very satisfied with its name, and was very happy as if she had forgotten the pain that had rushed from his arms to his shoulder, and she and Song Qing admired the sunset outside the window that was gradually hiding.
One person, one rat plus an old ox, sunrise and sunset, occasionally carrying a bamboo basket on his back to take the sunset to Huai Mountain to pick pine cones, although the life is poor, but in Song Qing's view, I feel that I have lived a very fulfilling life. And for Xiyan, the happy time is temporary.
That day, Song Qing took him a mouse and a cow to farm as usual, and Xiyan was also happy to poke his head out of his frame and look outside, his mouth was full of peanuts, and while eating, he climbed out of the frame and jumped on the back of the old cow restlessly, letting the other party carry himself leisurely, as if he was the master.
"Song Qing! Song Qing! Wait a minute! A lady called out to him from behind.
Song Qing stopped and looked back, "Aunt Zhang!" ”
Aunt Zhang panted and ran on the ridge, she saw Song Qing stop, so she slowed down and walked to cushion her breath, "Song Qing, do you remember the family affair I told me?" The adults agreed, originally they didn't agree, you also know that Wang Ergou's family in the west of the village also went to propose, people are better than you, there are five acres of land and two cows, the Wang family is willing to use one acre of land and a cow as a dowry, the parents agreed, the girl is not willing to marry, Wang Ergou is not only ugly, but also quite capable, hey...... Not to mention, people agree to agree, but it is also conditional, to hire your cow, plus gifts other people's families have to have adult requirements! Do you think so? ”
Song Qing hesitated and thought for a moment and said, "Cheng, it's so annoying Aunt Zhang!" ”
"Okay, as long as I can make a few more trips, it's okay." Aunt Zhang said, Aunt Zhang thought of something and said: "You, if the money is not enough, the aunt can lend you some, and when you get married, you can run a private school in the village, our village belongs to you with culture, and the girl Cui'er also looks at you as cultured!" In the future, your life will be better! ”
"Well, thank you, auntie!" Song Qingdao.
"No thanks, be polite to me!"
That day, Song Qing finished work early and went home, and the sunset was exceptionally quiet on the road, lying motionless in the back basket.
"Yan'er, you will have a hostess in the future, are you happy? There will also be people who cook for us and eat, and life will get better and better! Song Qing said to Xi Yan.
"Miss Cui'er is from a neighboring village, I had the pleasure of meeting her, she is very beautiful, I heard that she is very virtuous, she is so poor as I am that she is willing to marry me, I ...... I felt a little wronged by her. Song Qing told Xi Yan about her thoughts, and Xi Yan lay quietly in the back basket and listened.
