Chapter 18: Happy Hour
Shi Luoyi took Du Shenfei's little hand, running and playing happily on the snow, Shi Luoyi knocked Du Shenfei over on the snow, reflecting a small human figure, and then wrote "This is the little boy Du Shenfei" next to him. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The child grabbed the snowflakes and sprinkled them on Shi Luoyi's body.
Like two snowflakes chasing and frolicking, they ran across the vast white snow, and from the pond to the cracked boulder, until they ran to the bamboo forest with snow-covered branches to the north......
The cold winter passed in this peace and tranquility.
Then they were like two butterflies fluttering among the flowers, bathed in the warm spring sunshine, picked a few small bamboo shoots from the bamboo forest, crossed the lush meadow, picked two large white and tender mushrooms, saw the colorful flowers that secretly bloomed next to the strange rocks, washed their hands by the stream that was pure enough to write poems, and similarly gently passed the boulder, and saw the red carp in the pond all scrambling to blister.
Even between the cracks in the stone wall at the door of the house, dozens of pink and white flowers are quietly blooming......
Spring is coming. This is spring.
Shi Luoyi took her children to bask in the sun on a piece of granite outside the door. I thought to myself, I don't know what those two neighbors are doing now? Since I saw them last year, it has snowed heavily for days, and I rarely go out, and I haven't seen them for a long time.
While I was thinking about it, I heard a voice say, "Hello, little goldfish!"
It was Xie Youlong's voice, and he happily turned out of a path behind the stone cliff.
Du Shenfei happily pounced and shouted, "Brother, where are you going?"
Xie Youlong laughed and said, "I'm here to see the little goldfish." How are you?" he said, looking at Shi Luoyi.
Shi Luo smiled widely. She smiles so beautifully!
Du Shenfei said: "We're fine! I'm going to pick mushrooms with you." ”
Xie Youlong laughed and said, "Okay, let's go pick mushrooms, I know that there are many mushrooms in the woods behind the bamboo forest." I picked the mushrooms, and I'll make mushroom egg soup for you to eat, okay!"
Du Shenfei pouted: "But I don't have eggs at home." ”
Xie Youlong smiled: "I have it at home." ”
Holding hands, they headed in the direction of the bamboo forest.
Shi Luoyi watched them go away, a little apprehensive in her heart, but also very happy.
It didn't take long for them to come back with seven or eight large mushrooms. The child Du Shenfei held one in each hand, making his face and clothes wet with dirt.
Shi Luo looked at the door, and her hanging heart had been put down.
She hopes that someone will take her child out to play and then bring him back when it's time to return.
Just like the way it is now, it's good!
Shi Luoyi hurriedly went out, gently wiped the yellow mud off Du Shenfei's face with her hands, and knocked off the dirt on her clothes.
Xie Youlong really brought seventeen or eighteen eggs, plus a small piece of air-dried bacon. To Shi Luoyi's surprise, there was still a fresh fish, an old hen that "clucked".
The meals were all made by Xie Youlong.
When the meal was served, it was a roasted fish, a plate of bacon with garlic sprouts, and a bowl of egg drop soup. Xie Youlong happily scooped three bowls full of mushrooms and egg flowers, looked at Shi Luoyi, beckoned, and said with a laugh: "Come! ”
Shi Luoyi lowered her head and smiled in response. But the boy had already picked up the bowl, and he stuck out his tongue when it was hot. Shi Luoyi hurriedly went over, wiped the child's mouth, and said softly: "Eat slowly, no one will rob you." ”
The bowl of soup, although there were no green onions, the egg drop soup he made was not only beautiful, but also delicious, just like the lotus flowers blooming in the lotus pond, and it smelled fragrant.
Xie Youlong said: "Mushrooms are a good thing, sweet in taste, cool in nature, beneficial to the spirit, appetizing, tonifying the spleen and regulating qi. ”
Shi Luoyi let out a soft "um".
Du Shenfei said while eating: "The food cooked by my brother is better than that cooked by my aunt." ”
Shi Luoyi smiled and glanced at the child angrily.
He wanted to ask Xie Youlong where he lived, and where did that Dao Master go, but he still didn't ask.
Du Shenfei's curiosity is exactly the same as the hen that Xie Youlong caught.
Shi Luoyi raised the hen brought by Xie Youlong and let it lay eggs for the child to eat and develop his body.
When the hen was free, she wandered around the field.
Du Shenfei also kept wandering around the mountains, familiar with everything here.
He finally knew where Daoist Wuzi and Mr. Xie Youlong lived. They lived on the edge of the Grand Canyon, and through the window of their house, they could see the tiger and the serpent fighting in the valley. Du Shenfei was no longer afraid of those giant insects and beasts now, because he had never seen them come up after being here for so long.
He knew that Brother Xie Youlong would sometimes go to the academy in the city to study, and when he went out, the Taoist usually accompanied him through the valley below, and then carried him up to the opposite cliff, Du Shenfei had seen it with his own eyes. Every time Xie Youlong comes back, he will tell the news that is happening in the outside world.
One day he said, it's better to be in our valley, quiet and relaxed, the outside world is really chaotic, anti-Wang Tianhu and Wang Qing have been executed by the imperial court, but I heard that there is a rebellion against Fang La, and now everywhere outside is heard that innocent people are being killed, and they are taking their heads to ask for merit and reward.
When Shi Luoyi heard this, she was silent, and since then she has completely dispelled the idea of going to Yun'an Army again.
The childless Taoist will come back from time to time, go out again, and when he comes back, he actually brought several paper-wrapped candy to Du Shenfei. Du Shenfei also likes this Taoist chief very much, and when he sees it, he sweetly calls him "brother". Every time the Taoist priest heard this, he laughed "haha", and brought him more snacks every time. Every time he got a snack, Du Shenfei would take it back and eat it with his aunt.
But later, Du Shenfei actually saw an old man wearing a hat by the river, about fifty years old, he was fishing on a bluestone by the river, and there was a small wooden barrel next to it.
Du Shenfei was taken aback, he had never seen him before, and he didn't know what he was doing. But hesitantly, he walked slowly over and looked at the man.
He didn't know what to call him, so he finally opened his mouth and said, "Brother." ”
The fisherman turned around, looked at Du Shenfei with a very peculiar expression, and asked, "Are you calling me?"
Du Shenfei nodded and said, "Yes." ”
The fisherman was not curious, he didn't seem to have much interest in the sudden emergence of a child from here, or he already knew how the child had come to be.
He didn't seem to like to talk much, but when he was leaving, he caught a crucian carp from the bucket and gave it to Du Shenfei.
Du Shenfei happily wrapped his clothes and went back.
This old man can often be seen fishing here, and the old man will basically send him a large and small fish every time. After seeing a lot, Du Shenfei also picked up a bamboo pole from the mountain, found a long line in a drawer purchased by the old monk Fayun, bent an iron needle and tied it with a thread, and then dug two or three earthworms in the bamboo forest, and also looked like sitting on a small stone next to the old man fishing, and there was also a bucket next to it. However, for a long time, he did not catch a single fish. The old man put one or two small fish in his bucket each time.
