Chapter 8 Sister(1/2)
According to Liang Mi, Tanxiao would basically take a nap at some camphor trees in the north of the town every noon.
So Liang Mi took him there after having lunch at Xu Changsheng's house.
Of course, I didn't forget to have a quarrel with Gao Jianzhi during lunch. The two of them were arguing about each other. When the quarrel got heated, Liang Mi even spat at Gao Jianzhi.
That place was not far from Xu Changsheng's home, because Weichen Lane was also in the north of the town, so the two of them arrived there in a short time.
Sure enough, Tanxiao covered his face with the broken flag that had been inserted during fortune telling, used the package containing the talisman paper as a pillow, and lay down under the largest camphor tree and fell asleep soundly.
Xu Changsheng and Liang Mi squatted in the corner not far away, staring at him.
"Little slug, where do you think I'm going to hit him?" Xu Changsheng said through gritted teeth.
Liang Mi thought for a while and said, "Slap him in the face. I've long disliked his face. Going to set up a stall with him is just a way of giving him face, but he keeps giving me a slap in the face."
"good!"
Xu Changsheng held the slingshot and gestured carefully for a long time, but he couldn't find a suitable angle. He even felt that hitting Tanxiao's face was not enough to relieve his anger.
Suddenly Liang Mi poked Xu Changsheng with her hand, "Hey, Xu Changsheng, look at that, look at it, look at it."
Liang Mi pointed to an unknown tree species a little further away. Xu Changsheng's eyes lit up and he glanced at Liang Mi approvingly.
I saw a wasp nest the size of two fists hanging on the branches of the tree, and a few wasps were even flying "buzzing" outside.
Xu Changsheng picked out a suitable stone from his pocket, fully pulled the slingshot, and a stone the size of a grape was shot out with a "whoosh".
Xu Changsheng didn't even look at the results. Nine out of ten of the stones he shot were accurate.
Then he quickly pulled Liang Mi and ran away, fearing that he would be accidentally injured if he ran a step too slowly. Before he could run very far, he heard the screams of people talking and laughing. There was even a wasp that caught up with Xu Changsheng and the others, but Liang Mi threw his clothes away.
Chased away.
Xu Changsheng could only hope that he would be happy by talking and laughing, and not get hurt too badly. After all, he brought this on himself. If he didn't snatch the bottle of wine, nothing would happen.
But no matter how they did it, neither of them could have imagined that those screams were entirely caused by lying down while talking and laughing. They even looked at the direction in which the two of them were escaping with a smile on their faces. They turned their heads to look at the gathering, but they never dared to
The swarm of bees stepped forward and pointed their hand, and the swarm flew towards Tianyu Mountain.
As for the fallen honeycomb, they put it into the package with a smile and a smile. They took out the larvae inside and fried it in oil. It was crunchy and crispy. They talked and laughed to themselves while talking.
"Talk and laugh, talk and laugh, and good luck will come."
…
Liang Mize separated from Xu Changsheng halfway, saying that he would bring a bottle of wine back to Tang and Song Dynasties. He felt uncomfortable if he didn't drink the wine in the morning.
Xu Changsheng saw two people standing at the door of his house from a distance. Gao Jianzhi was still chatting with the two people, but they ignored him.
When he got closer, he discovered that it was Sun Qiao and Wu Weihu, and Sun Qiao still had some bruises on his face. When Gao Jianzhi saw Xu Changsheng coming back, he closed the door with a "hum".
Xu Changsheng was a little dumbfounded. He was about to ask Wu Weihu what was going on, but Wu Weihu shook his head and pointed towards Xu Changsheng's house, "Go in and talk."
As soon as the three of them entered Xu Changsheng's home and sat down, Sun Qiao hammered the table hard and cursed: "That damn fat guy Li Handong, if I don't peel off a layer of his skin this time, I won't be named Sun."
!”
Xu Changsheng was a little surprised that Sun Qiao was so angry this time, but it was hard to ask him directly, so he turned his attention to Wu Weihu.
Wu Weihu glanced at Sun Qiao, and then sighed, "When I came home from class yesterday, Sun Qiao was stopped by Li Handong and the others, and he was beaten up by them in the deserted alley. These things on his face
The injuries are all from yesterday."
Xu Changsheng glanced at Sun Qiao with some sympathy. Sun Qiao was a little embarrassed. After all, being intercepted by his opponent was not a good thing for anyone.
"Then you come here?" Xu Changsheng didn't believe that they came to him to expose his scars.
He saw it.
Wu Weihu glanced at Sun Qiao, and Sun Qiao clenched his fists, "Let me tell you, it's a shame for me to be intercepted by Fatty Li. I can't swallow this breath. I'm also going to 'repay' them tomorrow afternoon.
But I think our manpower may not be reliable, so I hope you can help us at the critical moment tomorrow."
Xu Changsheng fell silent. In fact, Sun and Li had been competing with each other in the town. They both invited him several times, but he rejected them all.
His family has a great cause, but he can't. If he joins one side, it means he has completely offended the other side. Although he is still young, he is the only one in the old Xu family, and everything he does represents his intention.
.
But this time it's different.
"Is Gu Lingqing here too?" Xu Changsheng asked.
"Definitely! He was the one who hit the hardest yesterday." When he got excited, the wound on the corner of his mouth was pulled again, and Sun Qiao grinned in pain.
Xu Changsheng's face became a little distorted when he thought of the previous two scenes, "Don't worry, just call me when the time comes."
Sun Qiao was also a little frightened by Xu Changsheng's expression, but he didn't care, as long as Xu Changsheng agreed to join.
Before leaving, he reminded Xu Changsheng, "Be sure to bring the slingshot with you, bring as many stones as possible, and give them a good drink."
Xu Changsheng knew that they came to call him because they must have taken a fancy to his slingshot. After all, apart from Xu Changsheng, the only thing left was running fast, but they definitely couldn't want Xu Changsheng to run fast.
, they also wished Xu Changsheng could run slower.
After seeing them off, Gao Jianzhi immediately leaned against the wall and asked, "Hey, Xu Changsheng, why are they looking for you? And I see there are scars on Sun Qiao's face. Was he beaten?
"
Xu Changsheng looked at him and smiled: "Really want to know?"
Gao Jianzhi nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice.
"Then you should hurry up and ask them. It should be too late." After saying that, he went back to the room without looking back, leaving Gao Jianzhi to curse.
Not long after, Li Ruan knocked on Xu Changsheng's door. Gao Jianzhi thought it was Sun Qiao and the others who came back, so he quickly opened the door, but he didn't expect it was Li Ruan. Li Ruan smiled at him, and Gao Jianzhi felt that his legs were weak.
.
Li Ruan rarely wore a light green long dress, with large lilac flowers embroidered on the cuffs, and the neckline was cut low, revealing a large area of snow-white skin. She smiled slightly, and her eyebrows were like crescent moons. She was also holding a basket in her hand.
Xu Changsheng also went back and took out a small basket at this time, which he had brought back from Li Ruan. Xu Changsheng glanced at Gao Jianzhi, who was staring at Li Ruan in a daze, and for some reason, he wanted to make him angry, and then pulled the
Holding Li Ruan's hand, she ran and shouted: "Sister Li, go this way, you can go faster this way."
Li Ruan smiled and said: "Okay, little Changsheng, run slower and don't fall."
Li Ruan's soft voice was blown by the wind to Gao Jianzhi's ears. Gao Jianzhi just looked at the two people's backs in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.
The two of them went to the place where Xu Changsheng scared Wu Weihu yesterday, but they had to go a little further in. Basically, everything close to the town had already been picked.
When we arrived at the field, there were indeed quite a lot of wild vegetables, including large patches of water celery, and a few bushes of wild rice growing by the water in the distance, which were growing very gratifyingly.
Li Ruan rolled up his sleeves and bent down to start picking. Xu Changsheng took a fancy to the wild rice bushes in the distance. He immediately took off his shoes, rolled up his trouser legs, and got into the water. The water in early spring was still biting, and Xu Changsheng felt that his calves were numb.
A little twitchy, but I got used to it after a while.
Li Ruan shouted, "We don't want those wild rice clumps anymore. The water is too cold. Xiao Changsheng doesn't want to go in anymore."
"It's okay, it's okay. I've been in the water a few days ago. It's not cold. Sister Li, just wait for me here. I'll be back in a minute."
Xu Changsheng replied while walking in the river with his trouser legs pulled down.
Suddenly he felt that the water around his calf had become warmer, and Xu Changsheng felt warm in his heart.
Xu Changsheng remembered that Li Ruan loved to eat this fried pork with wild rice. When he went to see her one time, he watched her finish a large plate of fried pork with wild rice and still had some unfinished food. Then he discovered that Xu
Changsheng kept staring at her and couldn't help but blush with embarrassment.
Wild rice is very brittle and will break when you break it. By the time Xu Changsheng finished picking the few bushes of wild rice, the basket was almost full. Looking back, Li Ruan's basket was only half full.
Xu Changsheng carefully stepped on the stones back to the other side of the river, walked to Li Ruan, and put all the wild rice into her basket.
Li Ruan was stunned and quickly put the wild rice back into Xu Changsheng's basket. The two kept being humble to each other. Finally, Xu Changsheng could only say: "This is too much. I can't finish it by myself. At most, I can go to your house to eat some tonight."
That’s it.”
Li Ruan smiled and wanted to touch Xu Changsheng's head, but saw his hands full of mud. He immediately washed his hands in the river, then stood up and pinched Xu Changsheng's face, "Then it's settled."
Xu Changsheng's face turned a little red, it must have been pinched by Sister Li just now!
Then Xu Changsheng continued to pick some water celery and planned to send it to Aunt He. She would definitely be very happy. Li Ruan put down his basket and helped Xu Changsheng pick it together.
In the end, the two of them picked two large baskets full of wild vegetables, and then sat together on the bridge at the end of the town, leaning against each other, swinging their legs like yesterday, but yesterday it was Le'an, and today it was with Li Ruan.
Xu Changsheng looked at the sunset and suddenly said: "Sister Li, are you going to move away too?"
Li Ruan didn't expect Xu Changsheng to say that. He tilted his head and said, "Maybe, but it will definitely take some time. How do you know?"
Xu Changsheng was silent for a moment, "In the past, you only tidied up your home once a year. In the past few months, you have basically tidied up every month, and there are a lot less things in the shop."
Li Ruan didn't expect Xu Changsheng to be so delicate, but he was a little sad. He hugged Xu Changsheng gently, "Even if Sister Li moves away, you should live well and grow up slowly. Come and find her when you have the chance."
Sister Li, how are you?"
"Okay, I will definitely come to see Sister Li!" Xu Changsheng said firmly, and at the same time, he silently added a sentence he once heard Mr. Shu say, "Even if there are three disasters and eight disasters, a volcano and a sea of knives."
Le'an was lying on the stone slab not far away, looking at the two people on the stone bridge, feeling that human emotions were so strange.
…
Xu Changsheng didn't even return home. He gave the celery he had picked to Aunt He and immediately went to Li Ruan's house because the two of them discussed it on the way back and decided to make dumplings with celery filling tonight!
When they arrived at Li Tui's house, Li Ruan was already making preparations. Xu Changsheng washed his hands and quickly joined in. Li Tui also tried to make a move, but they were kicked out together. Without him, Li Tui
