15. Xanadu 3 : Night
A few days later in the evening.
Su Su told Tianshu that there would be a surprise here tonight, and then dragged him out of the room regardless of whether he liked it or not.
Tianshu has been lying down for so long, and his body has long been as hard as a plank, and it is time to move well. And when I heard Su Su's eyebrows fluttering, I was really curious about what this surprise would be. So although he was ostensibly being dragged along, he was actually very happy.
The two men walked side by side along the village road.
The village is not big or small, and it seems that there is no special planning, but the houses are located in a patchwork. There will be a tree in front of every house, and there will be several stone tables and stone benches under the tree, and almost all of them will be sitting on the stone benches, some are talking to each other, some are playing chess, some are a few little girls throwing sandbags, and there are a few little boys standing next to them, talking disdainful while glancing over there from time to time.
Su Su introduced this place to Tianshu like the host introduced his home to the guests, what is Aunt Zhang here, Uncle Li's there, Tianshu couldn't help but admire Su Su's self-familiar character, and he was able to integrate into this small village that has been closed for many years in just two months.
"Do you like it here?" asked Tenju.
Su Su turned his head, smiled his eyes into two crescents, and two deep dimples also appeared, nodded heavily at him a few times, then opened his big eyes, looked at him cautiously, and asked softly, "Don't you like it?"
Tianshu shook his head with a smile and said, "I like it here very much, I really hope I can come here often in the future." ”
In the few days of recuperation and recovery, different people will send different things almost every day, and that kind of sincerity and simplicity make Tianshu deeply like here.
Su Su said happily: "No problem, as long as you are willing to come, you are always welcome here." ”
"It's like you're up to you here. ”
"Hehe, Cheng Boren is so good, he must agree. ”
Su Su didn't seem to want to go into this topic any further, so she looked around, and just happened to see a little girl sitting not far away, so she ran over.
Tianshu raised his eyes and saw that it was the little girl who brought him food that day.
"Xiao Tongtong, what are you doing?" asked Su Su softly.
When Xiao Tongtong saw them coming, she smiled shyly, shook her head and said, "No, what did you do." ”
Tianshu and Susu sat on either side of her.
"Why didn't you play with the other children?" asked Su Su with a smile.
Xiao Tongtong raised her chin to Su Su and said with a serious face: "Because I am no longer a child." ”
When Su Su heard this, she couldn't help but sneer, and found that Xiao Tongtong was looking at her seriously, so she put away her smile and asked, "Then why do you think you're not a child anymore?"
Xiao Tongtong secretly glanced at Tianshu, and then said flattened: "I won't tell you, but I just know!"
"Haha, okay, okay, if you don't say it, don't say it, I understand. Su Su looked like she understood her very well and hugged Xiao Tongtong over.
While Su Su was chatting with Xiao Tongtong, Tianshu was not idle. He plucked two sticks of grass on the ground, and a small white flower, and began to weave, and the two grasses were wound around the flower, connected, and finally became a bracelet.
Tianshu handed the bracelet to Xiao Tongtong, "This is for you." ”
Xiao Tongtong blushed, looked at the bracelet, then looked at Tianshu, and asked in disbelief, "Is it really for me?"
Tianshu smiled and stroked her little head, "Yes, thank you for taking care of her for the past few days." ”
Xiao Tongtong carefully took the bracelet and put it on her wrist, and it could be seen from her flashing big eyes that the little flower on the bracelet seemed to be more beautiful than the stars in the sky.
Su Su looked at the bracelet on Xiao Tongtong's wrist, raised her head, and said to Tianshu with a flat mouth: "I want it too!"
Tianshu laughed, and then made a ring that was more attentive than that one and handed it over, which was exchanged for a satisfied smile from Su Su.
The three of them sat quietly for a while.
The bright moon in the night sky was as clear as jade, as if a huge lamp was lit in the darkness, and the silver light sprinkled on the pink forest, arousing a bright light that seemed to be real and illusory, flashing and flickering, as if the whole place was a piece of colorful glass.
"Big brother, is the moon outside the same as here?" Xiao Tongtong's big eyes reflected the moon, just as bright.
"Hmm...... It should be the same, but it seems to be a little different. Tianshu thought for a moment and continued: "The moon here seems to be bigger and brighter. ”
"That's it......" Xiao Tongtong lowered her head, and her two calves swayed forward and backward. "Is it fun out there?"
Tianshu nodded and said, "The outside world is richer than here, but," Tianshu put his hand on Xiao Tongtong's head and rubbed it gently, and said with a smile: "No matter how colorful the world is, it can't compare to your own home." You'll understand this when you grow up. ”
"I've grown up!" Xiao Tongtong said.
"Why do you look so much like a little old man?" dimples appeared, and Su Su said to Tianshu with a smile.
Tianshu touched the back of his head, "I also listened to my father, hehe." ”
Mom and Dad really taught me a lot.
Tianshu was suddenly stunned, thought of something, and immediately set his eyes on Su Su, and found that her demeanor and face had not changed, so he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He hurriedly changed the topic and asked Su Sudao, "What surprise did you say?"
Su Su took a heavy breath, looked around, and the old god said on the ground, "It's going to be there soon." ”
After finishing speaking, a yellow-green point of light appeared in Tianshu's eyes. Tianshu rubbed his eyes lightly, trying to see clearly. When he reopened his eyes, a second, and a third appeared in his line of sight...... Only then did he realize that he was already in a dancing sea of fluorescents. Tianshu stretched out his palm, and a point of light stopped on it casually, and he stared at it, and it turned out to be a small firefly. With a slight shake of his palm, the firefly flew up again and melted into the sea of fluorescent light.
"Wow, it's beautiful!" Tianshu couldn't help but stand up.
Su Su smiled and asked, "Are you satisfied with this surprise?"
Tianshu nodded vigorously, like a cute little friend.
Xiao Tongtong looked at Tianshu's appearance and asked strangely, "Isn't this the case outside?"
"It's more beautiful than anywhere outside. Tianshu said without hesitation.
I agree. A stout middle-aged man came out of the back room and walked up to them.
"This is Uncle Zhao, Xiao Tongtong's father. Su Su introduced.
Tianshu greeted him with a smile.
Uncle Zhao also smiled back, and then asked, "The young man's name is Tianshu, right?
Tianshu arched his hand at Uncle Zhao and said, "It's total, thank you Uncle for your concern." ”
Uncle Zhao shook his hand and smiled boldly: "Don't be so polite, it's all your own people here, just put away all the red tape outside you." ”
Tianshu nodded helplessly, he felt so lucky that he often heard such words.
"Daddy, have you been outside too?" Xiao Tongtong finally couldn't help it.
Uncle Zhao picked up Xiao Tongtong, "Of course, Daddy was very powerful when he was young, passed the test in the clan, and became the only person who could accompany your Grandpa Cheng to the outside world at that time." ”
"Wow, Daddy is so powerful, Xiao Tongtong will go out to see it in the future!" Xiao Tongtong's eyes were shining, better than the countless fireflies next to him.
Sure enough, the light of dreams is the most dazzling and moving!
"What kind of test is that?" Tianshu asked a little embarrassed, because after all, it was a matter of someone else's clan, and if there would be any secrets involved, it would be a real sin if the other party was embarrassed. But in the end, it was his curiosity that prevailed over reason.
I don't know if this is not a secret, or if Uncle Zhao really regards Tianshu as his own, he pointed in one direction very boldly and said: "Go up along the Eji River, at the top of the first mountain we encounter, there will be a cave, and our test is to stay in it for seven days." ”
Tianshu looked in the direction pointed by Uncle Zhao, and the outline of the mountain was still faintly visible in the moonlight.
Suddenly, his heart beat violently, as if there was a pair of eyes there that really looked at him, and a familiar feeling rose from the bottom of his heart again. He remembers very well that it was a call to him and one of the main reasons why he would be here.
"Brother Tianshu?" Su Su saw that he was staring straight ahead, so he called him softly, pulling him back from his thoughts.
"Is there anything in that hole?" asked Tianshu as soon as he came back to his senses.
"That's the ancestral relics of our clan, to be specific, it should be a trace of the breath left by the ancestors. Uncle Zhao had no reservations.
Tianshu nodded, didn't ask any more, turned to Xiao Tongtong, and said, "Remember to play with the big brother when you go out in the future." ”
Xiao Tongtong nodded with a red face, raised his hand and gently played with the sea of fluorescent light beside him, intentionally or unintentionally.
People who come and go will take the initiative to come over to greet Tianshu and Susu when they see Tianshu and Susu here, as if these two people who broke in by mistake are their children next door for many years.
This kind of sincerity and warmth that permeates the surroundings makes Tianshu suddenly have a certain understanding: love and care will not change because of who you are.
As the night deepens and the crowds become thinner, the peach groves swaying in the wind highlight the tranquility at this time.
Tianshu lay quietly, but he could not sleep, after all, he had only woken up from a two-month slumber.
He stood up, opened the door, and unconsciously looked at the mountain again. That call followed, driving his legs.
Tianshu felt like a puppet being pulled, walking towards the mountain step by step.
After walking along the river bank for a long time, I finally stood at the foot of the mountain. Looking up, the bluestone steps stretched straight up, straight into the starry sky. The trees on either side seemed to be straighter and stronger than those in other places, and the same night wind could only make them sway slightly.
Tianshu did not make any extra stops, and started to run towards the top of the mountain, because the call became stronger and stronger.
After running non-stop for nearly half an hour, Tianshu stopped his body. In front of him was a cave, such an ordinary cave, no different from the countless caves on the Nine Heavens Mountain, and even inferior to some of the atmospheres in it.
The feeling of calling came to an abrupt end at this moment, and Tianshu's body shivered involuntarily. wiped his face with both hands, cheered up, and walked straight in.
