The mountain is not too high, but the water is very clear, flowing out from the cracks in the mountain, the sound of rattling, echoing around the tranquil, by the stream, a peach and bright red, the breeze comes slowly, drops one or two pieces, floats on the surface of the water, attracts a few fish to play.

A loess hut, next to a stream, with sparse branches and a wooden fence, enclosed a piece of land in front of the hut into a courtyard.

The woman followed the only winding path in the village to the courtyard, followed by the half-grown children.

Far away, I heard the sound of chopping wood in the yard, and when I got closer, I could hear the clucking of a few hens in the yard.

In the courtyard, there was no one in sight. The sound of chopping wood was on the east side of the house, obscured by the corner of the house, and the woman pushed open the courtyard door and walked away, as if she was familiar with everything here.

"Who is she?,,"

"She, how did she get to the village chief's yard?"

A few children behind him looked curiously at the voices heading towards the east corner, muttering to each other. Then they dispersed, as if to tell their parents a big news.

"Come on, sit down, I'll be fine soon. ”

When the woman walked into the east corner, she saw the appearance of a middle-aged man, naked, holding an axe in his hand, chopping the firewood in front of him.

The woman walked towards the place that a middle-aged man had spoken, in a wooden shed under the edge of the house, a low table, smooth floor, on which was a pot of tea, still steaming from the mouth, which seemed to have been prepared for her.

The woman smiled slightly, sat down on the smooth floor, took out two cups, and poured two cups of tea.

I don't know what kind of tea it is, but in the water vapor emitted, the fragrance of tea is very indifferent, and it seems to be nothing.

As soon as the tea was made, the middle-aged man walked in, sat down cross-legged on the billiards, put on a coat, stretched out his hand to pick up the teacup on the table and said, "This is the pre-rain tea that I personally picked back in this cloudy mountain." It tastes good. ", said that he took a sip first,

The woman smiled, reached for the teacup, sniffed it in front of her nose, and nodded. Brought it to his lips, took a sip, and smiled with satisfaction: "The mood is really good." ”

"You didn't come today to talk to me, did you?" the middle-aged man calmly looked at the woman in front of him.

"Came for your daughter. The woman lowered the teacup in her hand and said softly. The tongue savored the aroma of the tea vapor flowing through the mouth.

"What's wrong with my daughter?" the middle-aged man asked, looking very calm, reaching out to pick up the teapot and refilling the two empty cups in front of him.

"The Quiet Palace is open. ”

At this moment, the girl's eyes radiated a burst of light, and she looked at the man in front of her and said with certainty. When the middle-aged man heard this, his hand pouring the tea paused, raised his eyes to look at the woman in front of him, but instantly retracted his mind, filled the teacup, and withdrew his hand.

"I didn't expect this legend to be true. The middle-aged man put down the teapot in his hand, his eyes contemplative.

"My daughter's qualifications are not good, why does she have such an opportunity?" the middle-aged man was a little puzzled.

"I don't know, I left a mark before she went in, and now I can clearly feel her breath of life," the woman said.

"What do you mean by coming today?" asked the middle-aged man, looking up at the woman.

"You have to go back, otherwise she will definitely be robbed by other families, the Zhang family's strength in Kaiyuan Town is very low. The woman said, holding up the teacup.

"Are you going back?" asked the middle-aged man. Fingers pinched the rim of the teacup and watched the water vapor swirl in the teacup.

"I can't, I'd better go back and be obese. The girl smiled and got up.

When I walked to the wooden shed, I suddenly turned around and asked, "I like this tea very much, is there anything else?"

"Yes, yes. The middle-aged man turned his head, looked at the woman standing in front of him, hurriedly agreed, and hurriedly got up and walked towards the house.

In the middle of the night, the middle-aged man took out a small clay pot, handed it to the woman, and said, "You can like it, it's so good." ”

The woman took it, smiled slightly, and walked towards the door,

Standing in front of the door and looking at the departing figure, he didn't move for a long time.

“，，，”

"Daddy?" a girl walked from outside the hospital with a medicine on her back, and it was a little strange to see her father standing in a daze.

"Min'er?"

Awakened, the middle-aged man came back to his senses, looked at the girl who was really walking towards him, with a gentle face, and reached out to take the medicine behind the girl for him.

"Dad, what's going on today?" the girl named Min'er asked with some suspicion as she glanced at the tea table behind her father.

"Nothing, what about your brother?" asked the middle-aged man with a smile, handing the girl a handkerchief.

"Dad, if Brother Liancheng hears this, he will definitely be angry, didn't he just come to bid you farewell yesterday? Min'er said angrily.

"That's it, look at your father, he's old and useless, and he can't remember things," the middle-aged man laughed.

"Dad, you want to say that you are old, what should Zhang Erzhu and his grandfather do?" Min'er said mischievously.

"This ,,,," The middle-aged man suddenly couldn't answer.

"Dad, I heard that there is a woman in the house today, who is it?" When Min'er just entered the village, she met Zhang Erzhu and said that a very beautiful woman had come, and she went directly into the courtyard of the village chief without saying hello. At this moment, Min'er pretended to ask casually, and reached out to clean up the tea table.

"Well, a loved one. The middle-aged man nodded,

"Relatives?" Min'er's body trembled unconsciously, and a thought flashed in her mind: "Why don't I know?"

"You saw it when you were a kid, she hugged you. The middle-aged man sat down on a wooden chair next to him, looked out of the courtyard gate, seemed to be pondering, and said softly.

"Really?" Min'er didn't dare to ask for a moment, and replied very carefully: "What is she doing today? Why didn't she stay for dinner." ”

"She's here for your sister. The middle-aged man knew that there was no need to hide this, so he said.

"Sister?" Min'er was stunned for a moment, looked at her father who was sitting not far away and asked, "Is she my ,,, mother?"

The middle-aged man turned his head and looked at his daughter who was standing, his heart was sour, and he didn't say anything.

Seeing that her father didn't answer, Min'er bit her lip lightly, not knowing what to do.

"Would you like to see your sister?" the middle-aged man asked.

"I don't know. Min'er shook her head and continued, "I want to go and see Brother Liancheng." ”

The middle-aged man exuded a burst of bitterness in his heart at this time, Liancheng, his adopted child, his mother died at the age of five, and his father died at the age of eight. Maybe it's because of this that Min'er is close to him.

"Okay, I'll take you to see your brother Liancheng. The middle-aged man said with a sigh.
