Chapter 61: Nine and Twelve
Gradually, the days passed through the fingers, and before I knew it, a few more years passed.
This year, Shi Qiong was nine years old and Shi Chen was twelve years old.
When she was a child, she was still the same as she remembered, and she didn't change much. After the soul washing of her father and mother and the gentle indoctrination with Shi Chen, Shi Qiong has begun to become sensible, well-behaved, and obedient.
She began to understand that love is mutual, and that no one is born to serve themselves. There are some things that no longer work on my brother, and learn to do them yourself.
You can do your own laundry, you can bathe yourself, you can read and write, you can clean your own room.
Shi Chen still sat in his room as he remembered, looking at the book "Ren". Shi Chen finally figured out the origin of this book, it had already existed in his room when he first fell into the dream world, and he guessed that this book might be his father's and mother's thing.
Because outside the dream, my father and mother had fought with the evil king, and I fell into the hands of the evil king, maybe this book is the Dao heart that my father wanted to leave to himself.
Shi Chen did not immerse himself in the sea of books as before, but looked at the courtyard outside the window, waiting for the one she pushed the door in. It turned out that this bad habit was given to her by herself, and she didn't have to knock when she entered her room.
"Brother!" Shi Qiong pushed the door in, still wearing a pale yellow long skirt and a quaint double ponytail, bouncing like a naughty bag.
Shi Chen no longer looked out the window, looked at her and nodded, motioning for her to sit casually.
She ran up to her, flipped through her book back and forth, and didn't read it, just looking for a topic to ink with herself for a while.
Shi Chen took advantage of her unpreparedness, gently took her hand, and stared at her lovingly.
"Huh?" Shi Qiong turned his head to look at his brother, smiled, and didn't say much.
"Sit with me for a moment. Shi Chen spoke, his gentle eyes a little nervous, for fear that time would go too fast, for fear that she would slip away from his eyes.
Shi Qiong smiled, sat with Shi Chen, sat on the same bench, and let her brother hold her little hand like this.
"Come, can I tell you a story?" Shi Chen asked softly.
"Hmm!" Shi Qiong replied softly.
Shi Chen smiled slightly and began to tell this long story: "Once upon a time, there was a person named Yuxian, who did his best to eliminate sinister evils in the world. He was holding a Qingyu sword, the Battle Soul Emperor, and the Fighting Hades King...... Later, he mellow this benevolent heart, but one day, he lost his most important thing, and this heart also cracked. At this time, it dawned on him what was the most important thing for him, but he would never come back......"
Shi Qiong was fascinated by what she heard, her delicate eyes flashed in front of Shi Chen, and she listened very seriously. Seeing that his brother was not talking, he asked, "What about later?"
Shi Chen smiled warmly again, touched Shi Qiong's little head and said, "Later, he came here and wanted to protect this most important thing. ”
"Hmm...... What's the most important thing?" Shi Qiong asked confusedly.
"Hehehe...... Who else but you?" Shi Chen said with a wry smile.
"Me, my brother likes me, but ...... But what if I want to marry in the future?" Shi Qiong asked strangely.
"You...... Future...... Marry?" Shi Chen's hands trembled, he almost felt that he couldn't hold Shi Qiong's little hand, his eyes were moist, he was filled with grief, and a mouthful of blood sprayed on the table.
"Ah...... Elder brother...... I'm not married...... Don't you die...... If you don't want Shi Qiong to marry someone else, then Shi Qiong will accompany you...... Is it okay to do your most important thing?" Shi Qiong was a little frightened when he saw that his brother was so angry that he vomited blood.
Shi Chen finally couldn't help but a tear fell on his face, six years have passed, and he has not been able to wash away his thoughts about Shi Qiong, but has become deeper and deeper.
Why is it possible to love someone to such an extent? Is it necessary to wait a hundred years to let go of someone?
Shi Chen wiped away the blood that overflowed from the corner of his mouth, looked at the young Shi Qiong with tears in his eyes, and said slowly for a moment: "It's okay, my brother is fine, you can do whatever you want in the future, as long as I accompany you through a certain journey in this life, it will be considered a complete Dao heart." ”
Shi Qiong pouted after hearing this, looking dazed. I don't know why my brother likes me so much, thinking of the gentleness that has been obedient to me in the past few years, is my brother really the rain fairy in his own mouth?
Shi Qiong didn't think much about it, and he couldn't figure it out. I am still young and don't understand the affairs of men and women, maybe with this warm tenderness, I will really be inseparable from him, and I will willingly wait for this life.
It was still early, and the young Shichen siblings went out to play on the street.
Will Shi Qiong sneak a glance at his brother to see if he is still sad. I can't say the wrong thing anymore, if I kill my brother, it will be miserable.
There are really a lot of children in the village, seven or eight gathered together, there are children that Shi Chen is familiar with, Shi Feng, Shi Yan. There are also some children who have grown up and become less intersecting, Shi Luan, Shi Juan, Quartz, Shi Zhen, etc.
This dream is really ingenious, and the scene of childhood is exactly the same, familiar children's playmates, familiar villagers, and neighbors. There are also familiar small river bays, familiar farmland.
A few children took the freshly cut willow branches to make long sticks and began to fight, you chased after me, divided the gangs, and had a lot of fun.
Shi Chen took the long branch in front of him, colliding with the branches of his friends, crackling. Shi Qiong hid behind her brother tightly, holding on to her brother's clothes tightly, she was too short and afraid of being beaten.
Playing until dusk, playing until the moonlight rises, their respective fathers and mothers began to come out and call: "Go home for dinner......
"Oh......" replied, and then the children dispersed.
Shi Chen's clothes are dirty, so he just has fun, and he doesn't care if his clothes are dirty or not.
Shi Qiong was a little afraid of the dark, holding her brother's hand, and went home step by step.
The world is not very peaceful, and occasionally a few people steal children in the village. The people in the village are very afraid to let their children stay too long for fear of being stolen by traffickers.
Except for Shichen's father and mother, they just cooked the meal and called the two of them, so they didn't tell them too much to come back, and they didn't worry about losing the child at all.
Shi Chen could also guess why at this time, I'm afraid that no one would dare to steal himself and Shi Qiong, even if he dared, he had to be a trafficker who had reached the pinnacle.
Shi Chen looked at his sister and saw that her stomach was growling, so he decided to go faster. Carrying Shi Qiong on his back and running home, Shi Qiong stayed on his brother's back, not feeling tired at all, this feeling was the most comfortable.
Follow the aroma of rice and come to the back room. Putting down my sister, the family sat down for dinner together.
The two of them finished dinner like a storm, threw away the dishes and chopsticks, and went out to catch cicadas.
This season is the summer under the scorching sun, and there are many cicadas, and if you are lucky, you can touch twenty or thirty along the trees.
"Don't go far!" Seeing the two children rushing out anxiously, the mother anxiously instructed. I saw the disappearance of the backs of the two children, so I stopped looking, but my mind still followed the two of them.
