It was another sunny day, and it seemed like there would be good weather for a long time after the snow.

I know that the snow is heavy at night, and I hear the sound of breaking bamboo.

The snow on the night before was really heavy, and Tianxiang Pavilion was still like a pink and silver brick.

In the morning, the sun was soft, not as dazzling as it was at noon, but it was already warm, so warm that the snow on the roof of the small building in the backyard of Tianxiang Pavilion had begun to melt.

The water that melted from yesterday's snow has been frozen into ice picks and hung on the eaves of the house after a night of cold.

The water that melted today flowed down the icicles drop by drop and hit the ground. There is a dead leaf underneath an ice pick, and the falling water hits it with a "clattering" sound, and occasionally an ice pick falls from the eaves and shatters.

The eaves are very high, two feet high.

Like most children, Xiao Hei likes snow very much, and since he got up in the morning, he has built a snowman in the yard, and he has built a snowman that is really not good-looking, but there is one thing that is very good, this snowman is very fat, as fat as Xiao Hei, and he is honest and cute.

Xiao Hei smirked at the snowman, but suddenly felt that something was missing, walked to the bottom of the eaves, jumped slightly, and pulled a small Xiaoice cone from the eaves, which was very light when it landed, almost without sound.

Originally, Xiao Hei's mother didn't let Xiao Hei jump high in front of others, but he didn't seem to treat Xu Xiao and the old blind man as "others".

The icicle** reached the snowman's face as a nose, and Xiao Hei was very satisfied.

At the very edge of the courtyard there is a plum tree, which is not tall and just above the courtyard wall.

The plum blossoms had been in bloom for several days, and the snow seemed to be heavy the night before, which crushed many of them, and the plum blossoms that had not fallen had turned into remnants.

But there was one plum tree that was still very complete, and at the highest point of the plum tree, this one was very large, at least larger than the others, and its branches were very thick and long, and they protruded out of the wall alone.

Xu Xiao and the old blind man sat on the steps in front of the small hall, each holding a hot sweet potato.

Xu Xiao suddenly said to the old blind man: "What do you think plum blossoms represent?"

"Lonely".

"Why do plum blossoms represent loneliness?" Xu Xiao asked again.

"Its cousin spring flowers bloom together with peach blossoms in the spring, its cousin lotus flowers bloom with crape myrtle flowers in the summer, its cousin chrysanthemums bloom with osmanthus flowers in the autumn, and only it blooms alone in the winter, which is not lonely. After the old blind man finished speaking, he took a bite of the sweet potato and was burned and gasped.

Xu Xiao was a little puzzled and asked, "Hua also has relatives?"

The old blind man said, "Of course, just like people, they are born with relatives. ”

Xu Xiao said: "If you have relatives who have a harmonious relationship, your life will be much happier." I don't, I only have friends. ”

The old blind man said, "It's good to have friends, and I've lived for decades as a friend of yours." ”

Xu Xiao said: "Doesn't Xiao Hei count?"

"No, it can't be counted, he may die. ”

"But he's my friend, and because of the feud between you and the Bloody Cloak, he might die. Xu Xiao said very calmly, he had already lost his temper with the old blind man yesterday, and he would not do it again today. It's like the two children who just reconciled won't mention the things that were angry yesterday.

"Just because he's your friend, he's the one who might die, not the one who will. The old blind man said.

Xu Xiao was silent.

The old blind man looked at Xiao Hei who was admiring his work with cloudy eyes, and said, "Xiao Hei's light skills are very good, do you know who taught him?"

"Mother", Xu Xiao was a little strange why the old blind man asked about this, the old blind man was not a talkative person, and he had never asked about his origin.

"Do you know who the is?" continued the old blind man.

"The proprietress of the restaurant in Sunjia Village in the south of the city".

The old blind man seemed to remember something, stood up, looked into the distance, and said slowly: "More than thirty years ago, there was a woman in Yangzhou City, she didn't know kung fu, because kung fu would hurt people, so she only learned light skills, her light skills are very clever, and they were taught by Jingyi Shitai of the Emei faction.

This woman is ordinary-looking, at most delicate, but she is very charming, her charm is not in her appearance, but in her smile, she seems to have a temperature when she laughs, and every man who sees her smile will have a hot face. Everyone who spoke to her felt like a spring breeze, like the slow sound of running water heard by a spring.

She is very kind and very fond of helping people, whether you are a charlatan or a little beggar on the street, she will help.

She opened a small restaurant in Yangzhou, a free small restaurant, the small restaurant is very popular, countless Jianghu knights want to go to her restaurant to eat, but she was kicked out, she said that people who do not have more than a dozen holes in their clothes can't go to her restaurant to eat, so the people who go to her are beggars and poor.

She treats these beggars and civilians very gently, even more gently than the prefect who likes him, and after the people who come and go are in distress eat in the restaurant, she will also send them home and stuff them with a few white-flour steamed buns.

The people of Yangzhou City say that she is Guanyin Bodhisattva in the world, and they all call him Xiaosun Bodhisattva.

After so many years, it is said that the prefect who liked her back then bought the previous restaurant, and it is still open, and only people with a dozen holes in their clothes are allowed to enter, and those who are in distress will still have white-flour steamed buns to take when they get there. ”

Xu Xiao took a big sip of wine, seemed to be a little choked, stroked his chest, and said, "This woman is so great." ”

Yes, her greatness lies not in her own good deeds, but in her ability to influence others to do good deeds. As he spoke, the old blind man seemed to have the appearance of Xiaosun Bodhisattva in front of him, and there seemed to be a smile on his withered face, and his expression was very strange.

Xu Xiao was drinking, and when he saw the old blind man's expression, he choked on a sip of wine in his throat and stroked his chest: "You old blind man don't like this little Sun Bodhisattva too." ”

The smile on the old blind man's face became even stronger, and the wrinkles of his whole face were crowded together, and he said, "It happened to be spring when I met her, and I was not blind in my eyes at that time, and I was only in my early twenties. ”

Xu Xiao nodded, a person like Xiaosun Bodhisattva must be liked by a teenager, he was also very interested in this Xiaosun Bodhisattva, took a sip of wine, and asked, "What about later." ”

The old blind man didn't speak, but pointed at Xiao Hei with the iron pestle in his hand.

Xu Xiao hadn't swallowed the wine yet, so he choked again.

After a while, the old blind man said: "In the past few days, as long as Xiao Hei can live, he can become the head chef of Chen Wangye's family, and he will have a fat difference of twenty taels of silver per month." ”

Xu Xiao nodded and said, "I will let Xiao Hei get the twenty taels of silver." ”

The old blind man looked at Xu Xiao with his cloudy eyes: "You are finally willing to help me." ”

Xu Xiao also looked at the old blind man and said, "Who wants to help you an old blind son of a, I'm helping Xiao Hei." ”

Before the words fell, the two of them laughed at the same time.

Between friends, there are some words that don't need to be said, and some words that are meant to make people cry, but when they come out of the friends' mouths, they become scolding words, but they can still make people cry.
