Because he had drunk too much the day before, Li Ji did not get up until noon the next day. The couple walked out of the courtyard and wanted to go to the mule shed to pick up the car, but they saw dozens of people waiting outside, carrying all kinds of things in their hands, including wild boar, pheasant, smoked fish, roast goose, sausage, and all kinds of local products. ”

Li Ji Xia Bai was inexplicably grateful, and Li Ji bowed his hand again and again: "Fellow neighbors, you are so polite, such kindness, my wife and I really deserve it, and I deserve it." ”

The villagers said: "Where did Dr. Li come from? In the past 10 years or so, you have treated many people in our village for free; and you have beaten them away when the wicked people bullied us." I really can't take this thing, and I hope you don't want to dislike it, so please accept it. ”

The couple refused, so they accepted the gifts and filled a mule cart. The villagers went all the way to the entrance of the village, and said goodbye with tears in their eyes.

After another two days, the two masters of Xia Mansion recovered from their injuries slightly, and Xia Shiyu also set off for the south. Before leaving, he ordered Li Ji's family of three to be careful about everything, and when Long Yan finished his fifteenth birthday, he would return south as soon as possible.

The Flying Snow Gang sent Xia Shiyu to each other, and there was another extravagant scene, so I didn't mention it.

The couple returned to the courtyard of the Flying Snow Gang, looking at the yellow leaves floating in the courtyard, and felt as if it was much deserted.

In addition to being cold, there is also a little sadness. After living in the north for so long, I suddenly want to leave, and I can't help but feel a little attached to it.

This morning, Li Longyan went to the east of the town to find Xiaofei again, this time his luck was not bad, when he went, he saw Xiaofei sitting in front of the flower shop and guarding the store.

Li Longyan stepped forward and said, "Xiaofei, I can see you, tell me quickly, what day is your birthday?"

Xiaofei grinned and said, "You're still worried about my birthday." There are three days to go, and it will be there. ”

Li Longyan calculated, today is the fifth day of the ninth month, and three days later, it will be the eighth day of the ninth month.

"On your birthday, let's hang out together, okay? What do you want?"

"No gifts. I'm so happy that you can remember my birthday and play with me. ”

"How's that going to happen? Gifts have to be given, so what do you want?"

"Not really. It costs money to buy gifts, and we don't have a birthday that costs money, okay?"

"Okay, if you don't say it, then I'll buy it for you myself, and if you don't like it, don't cry!"

Xiaofei giggled and said, "Don't cry, don't cry, you must not cry!Brother Long Yan, I remember the last time you said that your birthday is also September, what day is it?"

Li Longyan said: "September 16, in 11 days, it will be here." ”

Xiaofei nodded and said, "On that day, I will also accompany you for your birthday, remember to come to me." ”

The eighth day of the ninth month. Light rain.

Because of the rain, Li Longyan and Xiaofei's plan to go out to play came to naught. Li Longyan sighed and cursed God for not giving face.

Xiaofei doesn't care. She changed into new clothes today, which was bought for her by Feixue last time for several sisters, and she wore it on her body, making her more beautiful and pretty.

"It doesn't matter if it rains, let's just walk around the town without leaving the town," she said. ”

Stretching out two oil-paper umbrellas, the two of them traveled side by side, and the light rain hit the umbrellas, splashing small white flowers.

Xiaofei has lived in Baili Town for more than a year, and the terrain is more familiar than Li Longyan, and the two walked in the rain, passing by wineries, silk houses, teahouses, and flower shops, walking everywhere they went, and watching the street scene in the rain. Although Baili Town is big, with Xiaofei with him, Li Longyan is not afraid of losing his way.

Li Longyan was taller, the two were close, and Xiaofei's umbrella kept touching his cheek. He rolled his eyes, "ouch", touched his face and said, "Xiaofei, your umbrella hit me again." ”

Xiaofei smiled: "Who made you grow so tall? If you squat down and walk, my umbrella won't touch you!"

Li Longyan glared and said, "You can figure it out, squatting and walking, aren't you tired?" I see...... It's not as good as this, this umbrella is quite large, and it is enough for two people to fight. You put your umbrella away, and we'll make an umbrella together. ”

Xiao Fei's face turned red, glanced at him with a smile, and put away the umbrella as he said. Li Longyan coughed, holding an umbrella in his right hand between the two, holding Xiaofei's hand in his left hand, his heart beating wildly.

Xiao Fei's heart was also pounding, and when she peeked at Li Longyan, she saw that he was forced to calm down, and her hand trembled a little.

The girl looked down and smiled, her palms slightly catering, and she also held the other's hand.

Li Longyan felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart, turned his head to look at Xiao Fei, and saw that Xiao Fei was raising his eyes to look at him, and the eyes of both of them showed shyness and joy.

The drizzle outside the umbrella is like silk, enveloping the streets, houses, and pedestrians, and everything is so quiet and gentle.

After strolling around until noon, the two found a wonton stand and ate two bowls of wontons. Li Longyan said: "Xiaofei, we will go to the Liu's shop in the town later and see the small animals there." ”

Liu's shop is a place specializing in selling kittens, dogs, flowers, birds, and goldfish, and many wealthy families in Baili Town like to buy these small animals to play with.

When the two of them went to Liu's shop to see, it was a large market, with flowers, birds, insects, fish, cats, dogs, foxes and rabbits. Many people wander around and shop, and the chirping of various animals comes and goes.

Li Longyan found Shopkeeper Liu and said, "Shopkeeper Liu, is that wren brother still there?"

Shopkeeper Liu saw that it was him, and hurriedly said, "Here, keep it for you." "I went under a tree, took a birdcage from the branch, and brought it over.

Little Fitch said, "What wren?

Li Longyan smiled, blinked and said, "Yes." ”

Shopkeeper Liu lifted the birdcage, and inside was a black palm-long bird, the bird was very lively, jumping in the cage non-stop, and from time to time a long series of chirps came out of its mouth.

Li Longyan looked at Shopkeeper Liu with an inquiring gaze, Shopkeeper Liu nodded and smiled at him, and shouted to the wren brother in the cage: "Xiaohei, say 'Hello Xiaofei'." ”

The bird tilted its head, chirped twice, and suddenly made a human voice in its mouth: "Hello Xiaofei!"

Xiaofei was surprised and delighted, and said with a smile: "Hey, why does it call my name?" looked at Li Longyan and Shopkeeper Liu: "You taught it?"

The two looked at each other and smiled. Shopkeeper Liu said: "This little brother came to me three days ago, chose this little black, and asked me to teach him this. In the past few days, the old man and I have not been idle, and I have taken turns with all the guys to teach him to speak. Haha, this little black is very smart, he learned it in two days, you listen to it and call it right, how good!"

Xiaofei was overjoyed, but she didn't expect Li Longyan to be quite attentive to herself, and there were a lot of ghost tricks. She shouted at Xiao Hei: "Hello Xiaofei, hello Xiaofei!"

Xiao Hei jumped around and shouted again: "Hello Xiaofei." ”

Xiaofei chuckled and said, "Hello, Brother Long Yan." ”

Blackie listened, a long series of chirps coming out of his mouth.

Shopkeeper Liu smiled and said: "You can teach it slowly, this little black is very smart and learns quickly." ”

Xiao Hei suddenly made another voice: "Add some condiments!"

The three of them were stunned for a moment, and then laughed. Li Longyan said: "This, what are you talking about?"

Shopkeeper Liu scratched his head, thought for a long time, and said with a smile: "I remembered, yesterday my wife gave me a stir-fry, I didn't like the taste, so I shouted at her, but I didn't expect this guy to listen." Haha!"

Seeing that Xiao Hei is so interesting, Li Longyan and Xiao Fei also like it very much. Li Longyan said: "Xiaofei, I'll use it as your birthday gift, okay?"

Xiao Fei said: "Okay! This gift is so fun!"

Li Longyan paid for Xiao Hei, and Shopkeeper Liu took out two packets of bird food and gave them together.
