Chapter 44: The Grace of Dripping Water
Yan Qingde, Yan Qiaoxin's uncle and nephew carried bamboo baskets from the bamboo shed, carried food on their shoulders, and came out one after the other.
Yan Qiaoxin was in a happy mood and trotted to Zhu Yanqu's side.
I greeted Lin Su and the others first.
Said softly to Zhu Yanqu, "I've been waiting for a long time, let's go." ”
As soon as she came, Zhu Yanqu noticed her smile as if she had eaten honey.
Lin Su and the others also walked forward.
At this moment, Lin Su's heavy heart was relieved.
When leaving, I looked back, but I couldn't see Xi Huai's figure, and the luster in my eyes dimmed a little.
Zhu Yanqu looked at the three children standing beside him, and his anxiety was obvious.
Looking at Yan Qiaoxin carrying a lot of household belongings, there are sweet potatoes and hairy potatoes dug in the wild in the bamboo basket, bamboo shoots of different sizes and varieties.
Looking at the bamboo basket hanging between his elbows, there are naturally sweet potatoes, hairy potatoes, and bamboo shoots, which are the easiest foods to obtain, but they must be carried in case of emergency.
The green woods of the mountains, with the song of birds and the whispering of herbivores, show that the forest is not peaceful.
If you are alone, you will only go out to pick wild vegetables and fruits or hunt small animals, and it will be difficult to travel.
Not to mention that the ten miles back and forth, it was already the time of the hour, Xi Quan took the young man to go before, and the trip was probably half gone.
The brilliant light shone down from the dense aftershadows of the bamboo leaves, Zhu Yanqu's thoughts wandered, and his eyes once again followed Yan Qiaoxin, who took two steps forward.
"What about these ten miles, we really want to run back and forth?"
Yan Qiaoxin stopped, and with a pair of delicate eyes with questions, she noticed Zhu Yanqu's worried look.
I was also thinking about what she said, pondering for a moment.
"I feel too far away, too."
Yan Qiao's delicate eyebrows were slightly twisted, he grabbed the belt of the back basket with one hand, held the bamboo basket tightly with the other, gritted his teeth, and his voice was heavy, "Go over first, I'll ask my uncle." ”
Yan Qingde's face was slightly red, and he didn't dare to look at Zhu Yanqu, but he just tilted his head slightly to look at Yan Qiaoxin, and his voice was mellow, "Qiaoxin, we can come back, I'm afraid Miss Zhu can't do it." ”
Yan Qingde raised his hand in a panic and stroked the tips of his hot ears, and lowered his eyes to see the verdant grass.
Some places have been trampled on, leaving overlapping and overlapping shoe prints, and because the shoes worn are also different, the shoe prints are more diverse.
He only dared to look at the diverse shoe prints, and said to Zhu Yanqu in a low voice.
"In this way, I wish the girl, you take out your baggage and build a shelter after you get there,"
Yan Qingde panicked, and added, "The men who build the houses will also spend the night there, so you don't have to worry about safety." Don't have to run back and forth, you are relaxed, and the child will not be too tired to cause the body to be out of tune. ”
Hearing this, Yan Qiaoxin reacted, the road was difficult, and the man-eating bear appeared.
Even after getting rid of it, the smell of blood in the forest is very heavy, and now the forest is even more unsafe.
"Yes, come, Yanqu, let's go get the baggage."
Yan Qiaoxin hurriedly put down the bamboo basket between his elbows and the back basket on his shoulder, and pulled Zhu Yanqu's right hand.
didn't wait for Zhu Yanqu to say anything, it was in a hurry.
Walking to the bamboo hut where she stayed for the night, she lifted the curtain of animal skin,
She didn't have many things, just two burdens wrapped in animal skins, and knives in her bamboo basket.
Zhu Yanqu did not hesitate, took the burden, and brought a casserole, which was convenient for boiling hot water.
"All my belongings are here, and the other pots and pans, you can get them when you arrive. You come to stay, you are a woman, crowded with a large family, there are many inconveniences. ”
This simple bamboo shed was built by Xi Quan and given to the homeless to live temporarily.
A man in his twenties is really meticulous and thoughtful about everything.
Yan Qiaoxin's eyes lit up slightly, and she looked at Zhu Yanqu with joy, "Yanqu, you are also too good." ”
Zhu Yanqu smiled softly and looked directly at her, "You are also very good, help me everywhere, I remember your favors!" ”
Zhu Yanqu's words came to his mouth, but he didn't say it immediately, but changed some words before saying it slowly.
"I don't want to talk nonsense, I want to draw you a pie with a wide sea and sky, you can't forget the human feelings, this is the basic etiquette!"
The sudden sensational words, the tip of Yan Qiaoxin's nose was a little pantothenic, there was a thin mist in his eyes, and the corners of his lips were pursed, "Say this so suddenly......"
She lowered her eyes, a drop of water quickly fell, and gently patted the back of Zhu Yanqu's hand.
But I was afraid of hitting hard, so I was busy covering my palm, but my palm was full of calluses, and I was afraid of stabbing her, so I took it back in a panic.
"I've only helped a few times, so it's worth your attention."
Zhu Yanqu's eyes were full of seriousness, and when he saw Yan Qiaoxin raise his eyes, his eyes were light red, and there was a drop of water hanging on his eyelashes.
"The grace of a drop of water is remembered in my heart."
Yan Qiaoxin is kind to her, or Xi Quan's help, or Jiang Ping's gift is not reciprocated, or Yan Qingzhong's help......
She remembers all of these, but the world is difficult, and the reward is not an overnight thing.
Repaying kindness is an easy thing, but here, it is as difficult as alchemy.
"Ouch, alright, alright!" Yan Qiaoxin took her arm, and could no longer listen to her serious words.
is a person with low tears, soft ears, and can't listen to these sensational truths.
Zhu Yanqu turned his head to look at Yan Qiaoxin who pulled himself out of the bamboo shed, turned sideways and raised his hand to wipe his tears.
-
Yan Qingde was waiting outside, and his gentle eyes were fixed on the three children who were waiting obediently.
The three children were very well-behaved, better than any other child he had ever seen.
The bright and dazzling sunlight sprinkled down from the cracks in the bamboo leaves, shining on the three little bodies, and in them I saw self-confidence, unyielding, no stubbornness, and their eyes were bright.
Most of the children I saw were impetuous, unconfident, arrogant, and were knocked down when it was a little difficult, screaming, and their eyes were full of playfulness and laughter.
Yan Qingde's distraction was actually because of three young children.
He smiled and withdrew his thoughts to look at Zhu Yanqu who came out with the baggage.
Zhu Yanqu's gaze fell on the three children, raised his slender fingers, and stroked their foreheads, "Let's go." ”
Zhu Xingguo nodded obediently, "Okay." ”
Then he went to lead Zhou Dongsheng and Gu Huayue's little fat hands, walked in front of Zhu Yanqu, stepped on the spilled sun, and walked to the ten miles ahead.
He tilted his eyes slightly to look at his aunt, who had two burdens in her bamboo basket.
In the baggage, there are things that the three of them miss for their families.
Sensing his aunt's eyes, he hurriedly put away his gaze and went straight forward.
The corners of his lips slightly raised a hearty smile, did not cry or make trouble in case of trouble, treated it calmly, walked forward, and walked boldly.
Xi Quan was careful and made a simple bamboo street sign on the road, with directions written on it.
With him in front of the mark, you will not get lost.
In the dense pine forest, interspersed with bamboo forests, and other types of shrubs, walk and rest along the way.
