Chapter 108 "Starry Night"
Coaxed Kaka to sleep, Jiang Yan put Kaka on the floor mat in the bedroom, which has basically become Kaka's exclusive home, and the living room has become Zhao Dabai's lair.
At the beginning, Jiang Yan poured all Zhao Dabai's sand piles into the fish pond for the sake of the fish pond, and Zhao Dabai, who had lost his residence, simply moved his ass directly to the living room.
"Sister Yan, we're done!"
Exiting the bedroom, Jiang Yan suddenly heard Lu Lili's voice in the courtyard, and Zhao Dabai on the side heard this, lying on the ground and wailing.
Glancing at Zhao Dabai, Jiang Yan walked to the living room and opened the door, and before Jiang Yan stepped out of the threshold, Zhao Dabai behind him instantly rushed out.
"This broken bear!" Looking at the bear shadow in front of him, Jiang Yan couldn't help but point at Zhao Dabai and scolded.
Walking in front of the two sisters, the wet hair was scattered on the shoulders, the steam of the hot water made the two sisters have a little red on their faces, standing in front of the latter, Jiang Yan seemed to smell the fragrance emanating from the latter.
"How's it going, cold or not?"
After looking at it for a while, Jiang Yan came back to his senses and saw the one-piece cartoon pajamas that the latter was wearing, and his cute appearance made Jiang Yan resist the urge to hug him.
"It's not cold, but the water shouldn't be used."
Shaking her head, Lu Linlin turned sideways to reveal half of the iron basin, and seeing the turbid water in the iron basin, Lu Linlin was a little embarrassed.
"It's okay, there's still in the pot."
Pointing to the steaming iron pot in the distance, Jiang Yan hurriedly asked the Lu sisters to return to the house, the soil kang had been preheated, and everything had been prepared.
Hearing Jiang Yan's words, the Lu family sisters trotted all the way back indoors, looking at their lively backs, Jiang Yan poured out the water in the iron basin, then poured hot water and began to take a bath.
After a simple scrubbing of the body, Jiang Yan returned to the bedroom in pajamas, in the bedroom, the Lu sisters were already lying in the quilt, only a small head was exposed, by the moonlight, Jiang Yan wiped the wet hair, and then lifted the quilt and lay down.
The warmed quilt made Jiang Yan close his eyes comfortably, stretch his waist, and Jiang Yan emptied his brain and prepared to sleep.
The moon stars are scarce, and the black magpie flies south.
"Don't! Let me go! ”
"Kill me! Kill me! ”
Late at night, Jiang Yan, who was half-asleep and half-awake, suddenly heard a miserable scream, sat up, Jiang Yan turned his head, followed the sound and looked, only to see Lu Lili, who was already asleep, muttering nonsense words in her mouth, with a terrifying expression.
Lu Linlin, who was on the side, was awakened by the sound, propped herself up and hugged her sister, and saw Jiang Yan on the side.
"Are you alright?" Sensing Lu Linlin's gaze, Jiang Yan looked at Lu Lili in the latter's arms with concern.
And Lu Linlin on the side shook her head silently, stroked Lu Lili's long hair, and said softly: "It's okay, we came out, you had a nightmare, we are now at Sister Yan's house."
Lu Linlin's voice woke up Lu Lili, who had fallen into a nightmare, and her eyes scanned the surroundings in horror, and then she lay in her sister's arms and cried loudly.
Jiang Yan on the side sighed heavily when he saw this scene, thinking of what happened to them before, Jiang Yan's chest tightened and wanted to turn all the internal organs out to breathe.
Stretching out her hand, Jiang Yan wanted to appease Lu Lili, who was out of control, but Lu Linlin, who saw this scene, shook her head gloomily.
Bitterly withdrawing her arm, Jiang Yan lay back gently, looking at the empty ceiling, the mildew spots on it were dotted like stars in the night sky, but the only difference was that the night sky was a white star on a black background, and the ceiling was a black star on a white background, just like her and the Lu family sisters.
On the side, Lu Lili's crying gradually weakened, and in the end, only the sound of steady breathing remained, and she fell asleep again, and Lu Linlin on the side carefully withdrew her numb arm and lay back in her position.
"Don't you want to ask?"
After a moment of silence, Lu Linlin's softness floated out slowly, looking at the ceiling in distraction, and after a moment of silence, Jiang Yan slowly spoke.
"Remembering those makes you sadder, doesn't it?"
Jiang Yan's words made Lu Linlin a little surprised, she thought that Jiang Yan would ask about their past out of curiosity, but she didn't expect the latter to say so.
"Yes, every time it's like a thorn cutting through the flesh, and it's dripping with blood."
"Then don't think about it, you won't live like that again in the future anyway." Hearing this, Jiang Yan said calmly.
Hearing this, Lu Linlin over there was silent.
"I don't understand."
After being silent for a while, Jiang Yan's ears once again sounded Lu Linlin's voice.
"What?"
"I don't understand your thoughts, I don't know why you accepted us, and you are so good to us, I don't believe that there are good people in this world like you are now, you must have your own purpose."
Revealing all the doubts in her heart, Lu Linlin turned around and stared at Jiang Yan in the distance through the darkness with her eyes, as if she wanted to see the latter through.
Hearing this, Jiang Yan was rarely silent, and after a while, he slowly spoke.
"I do have my purpose."
Hearing this, Lu Linlin's eyes widened instantly, as if she had expected it, and her eyes were full of disappointment and unwilling resentment.
"In fact, in my eyes, life is a process of continuous dissociation, everything you know, your childhood, your love, your relatives and friends, your ambition, will gradually leave in the end, leaving only the last lonely death."
"I may be a little more lonely than the others, so I crave more affection, but I know very well that unequal status is not destined for true friendship, so I brought you back, and as I am now."
Speaking of this, Jiang Yan turned his head to look at Lu Linlin on the other side, the resentment in the latter's eyes disappeared at some point, biting his lip, Lu Linlin listened carefully.
"Of course, part of the reason is that there is too much farm work at home, if I don't trick two of them to come back and help me farm, I may starve to death this winter, after all, there is a lot of power in numbers!" Speaking of this, Jiang Yan's tone instantly became much more lively.
Hearing Jiang Yan's joke, Lu Linlin lay back on the pillow with her eyes closed, covered her eyes with her arms, and said with a smile: "Then we are really fooled." ”
Looking at the crystal that flowed all the way from the corner of Lu Linlin's eyes, Jiang Yan smiled and lay back on the pillow.
"Go to sleep."
"Hmm."
In the early morning, Jiang Yan got up early, but it was Lu Linlin in the courtyard who got up earlier than Jiang Yan.
"So early?"
Hearing the voice behind her, Lu Linlin, who was reading a book, raised her head, pointed to the contents of the book, and leaned over to Jiang Yan's side: "Sister Yan, how do you pronounce this word?" ”
Squinting his eyes, Jiang Yan discerned the words in the book and said, "Irrigation, which means watering plants." ”
Noting these two words in the notebook, Lu Linlin once again held the book and read it carefully, this book was the "Friend of Military and Civilian Dual-Use Talents" that Jiang Yan had read to Gao Chou before, and I wanted to give Lu Lili a high school to read, but the latter seemed to be more interested in the "Militia Military Training Manual".
After a simple wash, Jiang Yan washed the clothes soaked in the basin and dried them one by one, and in the farmhouse, Lu Lili, who was sleeping lazily, finally woke up, rubbed her eyes, and crashed into everyone's field of vision.
"Are you going to pitch a tent again today?"
Walking to the well and washing her face, Lu Lili glanced at the greenhouse in the neighboring garden, and her voice was lazy.
"No, go hunting today."
Hanging up the last piece of clothing, Jiang Yan returned to the storage room, took out the tools for hunting, and spoke.
