Chapter 4 Jiao'er didn't understand the cold

The carriage carrying the three men stopped at a flat place in front of the mountain. got out of the car, and Xingyan led Uncle Cheng Juying towards his own horseshoe mountain.

Although this horseshoe mountain, the awakening is very familiar. But except for the allusion to the heavenly horseshoe palm that was displayed too early in the restaurant, I really can't think of anything else worth mentioning. And this scenery has long been called out by Ju Ying's girl, he can't say anything about "horse's hooves evening photos" outside of this "horse's hooves sunset", it is not creative.

Of course, maybe you can talk about the white stone, and add oil and vinegar to describe what happened to me on the white stone that summer night. In fact, what happened that night was beyond the comprehension of ordinary people, and it is estimated that it can easily arouse the interest of Ju Ying and Uncle Cheng without adding oil and vinegar.

However, with the experience of that morning, Xingyan has no hope of being recognized by others. If you say it, it is likely that the biggest consequence will be to ruin your image in the minds of Ju Ying and Uncle Cheng. They may think that the allusions that this kid said before often pretend to be his predecessors, and this time he actually takes himself as the protagonist! It is inevitable that there will be braggart and idiot suspicions. Therefore, the young tour guide remained silent this time.

In fact, with the wisdom of awakening words, after repeated thinking in my heart later, I have long decided that the adventure of that night was not just a dream. It's just that after thinking about it, it's still too shocking, even in front of his parents, he never mentions it.

Just thinking about Baishi, before they knew it, the three of them came to Baishi. Seeing that the atmosphere was a little dull, the young man thought about finding something to talk about:

"Look at the stone. Do you look like something? -- like a bed. I often come here to sleep in the shade, but it's cool. If there is a big shade tree next to this stone, it must be a good place to take a nap in summer!"

As the young man spoke, Ju Ying sat up early, staggering on tiptoe, as if testing the comfort of the stone bed. However, the afterglow in the corner of his eyes made him stumble upon Uncle Cheng, who had always been very quiet, and his expression when he looked at the white stone bed seemed a little unnatural.

I saw him pacing back and forth several times around the inconspicuous white stone bed, as if he was carefully observing something, and his mouth couldn't stop muttering words.

Seeing Uncle Cheng's strange state, Xingyan was a little strange, and said in his heart:

"Is he really moved by what I said? He wants to transport this stone back to be used as a bed? Isn't he looking at the approximate dimensions and wondering how to dig and carry it?"

Just when the young man began to think crankily again, he found that Uncle Cheng had stopped, and his face, which was originally overjoyed and angry, was now observed by Xingyan to observe a different color.

was wondering why Uncle Cheng's face was surprised, but he was surprised to see that Uncle Cheng's surprised gaze was turning to him.

In the strange gaze of the young man, Uncle Cheng walked around him a few times like he had just walked around Baishi.

"Does this old man also treat me as a stone?"

The girl Ju Ying was beside her, her big eyes were shining, and she didn't know why.

"Heh~ The old man just suddenly felt that the little brother was as golden and jade as this white stone, and the frost was inside. It's a very good material!"

The old man who came to his senses hurriedly explained to Erxiao. At this time, his face had been replaced by a heartfelt smile.

"So you really used me as a stone!"

Xingyan stuck out his tongue unconsciously. The maiden also cried out with joy:

"Ahh

Why did this sound so awkward, and the young man unconsciously glared at the little girl who was smiling at the corner of his mouth.

Then they walked around for a while, and then they ended the Horseshoe Mountain visit.

Since Uncle Cheng was surprised just now, he swept away the original tranquility, making the young man obviously feel a lot warmer about himself.

"Could it be that Baishi is strange again this time? Otherwise, how could this steady Uncle Cheng suddenly go against the norm?"

Xingyan looked at Uncle Cheng's respectable face, and thought a little narrowly in his heart.

It was getting late, and with Xingyan's kind proposal and Uncle Cheng's cooperation, Juying and the others stopped at Xingyan's house. The coachman and the carriage were waiting at the foot of this horseshoe mountain.

Xingyan's family has three thatched huts, although the family is poor, but Xingyan's mother Zhang Wang is virtuous and diligent, and cleans up the house. The Zhang family and his wife were very hospitable, and when they saw that their son had brought guests from other places, Lao Zhangtou scooped out his home-brewed pine cone wine, poured it for Uncle Cheng, and cut a piece of salted and pickled pheasant meat that he was usually reluctant to eat, and asked his wife to fry the hazelnut kernels into two large plates for wine.

The girl Ju Ying seems to be very interested in everything in the farmhouse, especially the wine cup carved from bamboo roots, she can't put it down.

This bamboo cup, on the emerald yellow outer wall, uses a knife to cut out a cluster of light white orchids. Although it is only a few strokes, it is full of charm, and with this simple bamboo tube, it has a unique charm. Naturally, this slightly elegant homemade utensil is the masterpiece of the teenager's awakening. Listening to the introduction of his mother with a little pride, the little girl's eyes couldn't help but flash a trace of admiration for this ordinary peasant boy.

Seeing that Uncle Cheng and Xingyan both drank wine, and seemed to be very intoxicated, Ju Ying couldn't help but want to taste it. This sake is made from pine nuts on the Horseshoe Mountain, and the flavor is not strong, but it has a unique fragrance of pine needles. Therefore, when Xingyan Niang saw the girl's longing appearance, she explained to Uncle Cheng, poured her a small cup, and kindly warned her to drink slowly, drink a little each time, and don't swallow it in a hurry, so that she is not afraid of being choked.

So, the little girl Ju Ying, also learned from Uncle Cheng's enjoyment, slowly took a sip, and then let the wine flow between her lips and teeth, savoring the mellow taste of this wine.

It seems that Ju Ying has never drunk wine, Rao is this pine cone wine is light and flushed, the small half cup can be eaten, but it is also flushed cheeks, under the reflection of this candlelight, the more and more it is beautiful, just like the falling hibiscus, indescribable entanglement.

"I didn't expect Ju Ying, this girl to be pretty good-looking!"

Seeing the girl's red and drunken face, Xingyan couldn't help but be a little moved, and the skills of many years of training in the Ji family's private school came naturally, and he chanted with this sake:

"The mountain house feast is drunk,

The wind sends a fragrant wine musk;

Plain hand slender candle shadow,

The floating cup illuminates the Horseshoe Mountain. ”

As soon as the teenager chanted this poem, the reaction to the seat was different:

The Zhang couple were not surprised, and knew that their son was making up those strange short words, although they could not understand them, but they were probably the knowledge of the professor of the Ji family's private school;

Uncle Cheng was suddenly moved, looking at the pompous young man in his original mind, his eyes were a little different, and Ju Ying obviously understood that Xingyan's poem was talking about her, and it was quite flavorful, and he couldn't help but be full of joy. Although she just whispered a "crooked poem", the face was even more awkward, which made Xingyan feel more delicate.

While everyone was drinking, Xingyan's mother was always by her side. After everyone finished drinking, they served a bowl on the side of the table and chewed it carefully, and ate with everyone.

At night, Ju Ying slept alone in a room, and Uncle Cheng and Xingyan in a room. The second elder slept on the grass in the kitchen.

Inside the house, Uncle Cheng seemed to fall asleep quickly, but Xingyan did not fall asleep as quickly as before. Tossing and turning, looking at the soft moonlight outside the window, I thought of this half-happy scene, as if in a dream.

In particular, recalling the light touch on the carriage, the young man's heart seemed to have ten thousand charms turning, and his mind involuntarily circled the Book of Songs #8226; The school lesson in "National Style":

"There is a lesbian car, Yan Ru Shunhua.

Will soar, Pei Yu Qiongju.

Bimei Meng Jiang, Xun Mei and all;

There are female peers, Yan Ru Shunying.

Will soar, Peiyu will general.

Bimei Meng Jiang, Deyin does not forget;

..................”

For the first time, Xingyan felt that the boring poetry in his mind turned out to be so vivid and vivid!

"Actually, she's pretty good-looking......"

In such a chaotic mind, the boy gradually sank into a sweet dreamland.

Ju Ying, who was next to him, saw that a clean cloth mattress had been replaced on the grass bed, and a fox fur with fresh fur was piled on the mattress. Next to the stoneware pillow, a pair of black iron scissors for self-defense was also found, which must have been placed by Xingyan's mother.

"What an attentive aunt!"

Ju Ying thought.

After this day of playing, the little girl was indeed tired, and the mellow stamina of the pine cone wine also came up, so she pulled the warm fox skin cover and fell asleep in the night wind mixed with the night birds and leaves......

The next morning, when Xingyan woke up to the chirping of birds, he saw that Uncle Cheng's straw shop opposite was empty. Seeing this, the boy was too embarrassed to sleep again, so he hurriedly dressed himself, went to the kitchen, scooped some spring water in a wooden basin, and began to wash.

When he was about to wash, he suddenly heard Ju Ying's happy laughter outside the door, mixed with the chirping of the chickens. Xingyan tied up his hair, and went out to the door to see what the girl was so happy to do—I saw Ju Ying in the open space in front of the thatched hut, holding a scoop, happily sprinkling something for the chickens to eat;

"Come and see, these chicks are so cute! like pompoms!"

Ju Ying exclaimed in surprise.

Looking at her fresh appearance, she couldn't help but sigh.

"It seems that this girl really doesn't know anything, just a little chicken, it's worth being so excited. ”

However, seeing that the girl's enthusiasm was high, he was also infected, so he stepped forward to see the chicks together.

It's just that when Xingyan saw the things in the scoop in the girl's hand, his face couldn't help but become a little pale all of a sudden, and he hurried a few steps to get closer, staring at the scoop in her hand and said stiffly:

"Give it to me. ”

Ju Ying didn't react for a while, and said:

"Okay, you can also sprinkle rice for them!"

However, when she handed the scoop to Xingyan, she saw that the young man's face was not so natural, and he seemed to be a little distressed and a little angry.

Ju Ying was a little strange, but he still asked cautiously:

"What's wrong with you, angry?"

"No, nothing. ”

The Awakening Speaker replied, but was clearly a little absent-minded.

"You lied to me, you must be angry, and I know that I made you angry, tell people what's going on!"

As she spoke, Ju Ying's eyes turned a little red.

"Don't cry, don't cry, I'll tell you it's not possible!"

It is rare to see such a young man, and he immediately panicked, and said like a bamboo tube pouring beans:

"Do you know what you give to the chickens? That's rice! My father went over the mountains and drilled the ditches, and had to catch a lot of prey before he could get to the city for a small bag of rice. These rice, my family is usually reluctant to eat, only when the guest comes to the mother will cook rice porridge. Usually my family eats amaranth, which is rough and unpalatable, I guess you haven't eaten it before, right? I don't like to eat it either, but I can't help it. Relying on the barren mountains and mountains of Horseshoe Mountain, a little money and grain is almost enough to pay taxes. If I don't work as a shopkeeper in Daoxianglou, I don't have to think about it in my private school!"

"My mother picks wild vegetables and chops them up to eat, and even people are reluctant to eat this rice, so how can they still feed it to the chickens! In fact, it is really thanks to you, the last time I ate rice porridge. It was probably more than two months ago......"

Xu is heart was indignant, and Xingyan unconsciously said so many things at once, and smiled bitterly at the end.

It is no wonder that his heart is so agitated, because the paddy fields on the border of Raozhou are scarce, the mountain goods are low, and the rice is valuable. Xingyan's family life is difficult, Lao Zhangtou usually takes care of a little fruit forest and wild wheat on this barren mountain and wild ridge, goes to hunt some mountain animals in his spare time, and takes it to the city to exchange for a little grain and rice porridge and rice. His family rarely cooks pure rice porridge, but Xingyan Niang goes to the nearby mountains and fields, patrolling all over the mountains, collecting wild wheat fruits, grinding them into coarse-grained amaranth and using them as rice food.

Besides, Xingyan poured out the sleepiness in his heart in one breath, and gradually calmed down, and felt that he was a little out of shape, but since he told the reason at the girl's request, he must have passed this matter.

"Woooooooooooo

I didn't think that after Ju Ying listened to it, she couldn't help but choke. This time it was Xingyan's turn to panic, and hurriedly said:

"Ahem! I told you everything, why are you still crying? If Uncle Cheng hears it, he will think that I have bullied you!"

"Woo~ It's none of your business; People are sad in their hearts~"

"Wake up, why did you bully other people's little girls?"

Uncle Cheng didn't appear, but Xingyan Niang was alarmed by the girl's crying, so she came out with a wardrobe to see what was going on.

was choking up, and when she heard the voice of Xingyan Niang, Ju Ying suddenly felt very embarrassed, so she stopped crying. She told Xingyan Niang about what happened, and affirmed that it was not about Xingyan, it was all her own fault, and she didn't want to use rice to feed the chickens.

After a sincere apology, Xingyan Niang finally understood what happened. But the simple peasant woman is not good at words, she just vigorously says not to blame you or not to blame you, and at the same time glares at her son with her eyes. At this time, Xingyan also felt that his tone just now was a little excessive, so he was also sincerely afraid. In order to calm down the turmoil as soon as possible, the young man, who had no other strengths, personally promised Ju Ying that he could continue to be a tour guide for them today. Hearing him say this, the girl really burst into tears and laughed:

"Great~ Don't rely on it! People are still very sensible, but I really don't know this time. Wake up, don't keep it in mind and be angry with me!"

Xingyan hurriedly said:

"I'm not angry for a long time, huh~"

"I didn't expect your family to have such suffering......"

As she spoke, Ju Ying's eyes flashed again.

"Uh~ I'm so angry if I cry again!"

-- After going through this turmoil, before I knew it, the two of them had become much closer.
