Xinbai Xu: The Romance of the New Moon - Chapter 3: My little daughter is me
On this day, the two of them were walking on the street again.
"Grandpa, aren't you going to the Yamen today?" An'er held a small windmill in her hand.
"This... I won't go, so as not to nag your grandma."
"Then where are we going?"
"How about grandpa taking you to play in the back mountains?"
"Back mountain? Is it fun there?"
"Of course, but don't tell anyone else, otherwise we won't be able to go there again, you know?"
"Okay!" An'er happily agreed.
So the two of them walked towards the back mountain. Li Gongfu originally wanted to take him to Qibao Mountain, but he remembered that Shi Lin and the others went there before and got lost on the mountain. A series of strange things happened after that, which made him feel frightened, so he decided to go there instead.
Chenghuang Mountain.
The two came to the foot of the mountain, and An'er screamed and jumped with excitement.
"Wow, it's such a high mountain, Grandpa, do we want to climb up?"
"This mountain is too high. Let's climb a little bit today. When you grow up, you can climb to the highest point. Looking down from the highest point, the scenery is really beautiful..."
"Grandpa, have you ever climbed the highest?"
"Of course, I think back then, your grandpa and I were also well-known as the chief catchers. We have never been to any place or climbed any mountain. Climbing this mountain is a piece of cake." Li Gongfu loved to brag in front of An'er,
Seeing the look of admiration on An'er's face, he was secretly happy. As he said that, the grandfather and grandson started to climb along the mountain road. After only climbing for a short while, Li Gongfu felt tired and found a stone bench to sit on.
Come down and catch your breath.
"Grandpa, you're tired, An'er will give you a good pounding." Little Gu'an obediently hit the father-in-law on the shoulder with his little fist.
"Haha, be good, be good, grandpa is not tired, that's all, how can he be tired?" Time is really not forgiving. In the past, even if I climbed to the top of the mountain, I would not be able to take a breath, but now, hey! I can't do it here.
This kid made a fool of himself in front of him, but if he climbs up any further, he really can't do it. Forget it, let's just have fun here.' Gongfu thought to himself.
"An'er, if we don't climb up today, we have to go home early, otherwise your grandma will be angry."
"But it's still early, Grandpa, how about we climb again?" An'er grabbed the father's hand and forced him to get up.
"Here... An'er, be good. Can grandpa take you to crawl another day?"
"No, no, we have to crawl now. Grandpa is a bastard. I'll tell grandma to go."
"Oh, you kid, you agreed just now, why are you regretting it now? If you tell your grandma, none of us will ever want to play again in the future." An'er looked at the father-in-law with wide eyes and an innocent look on her face.
Now, the father-in-law looked at his pitiful look and said with an apologetic smile: "Okay, we won't crawl today. Why don't we play hide-and-seek here? You used to hide at home, but now you hide here. How fun it is."
How about it?"
"Okay, okay, let's play hide-and-seek and grandpa close his eyes." An'er suddenly jumped for joy.
"Okay, okay, you have to hide well, don't hide too far, it's right here." As he said this, the father-in-law covered his eyes. "Finally, I got through." He thought to himself.
An'er saw that the father-in-law was blindfolded, then she made a face at him and walked quietly to another road.
"47, 48, 49, 50, An'er, hide it, grandpa is coming to find you." The father counted to 50 honestly, opened his eyes, and looked around.
"An'er... An'er..., where are you?" He searched everywhere, but there was no sign of An'er behind the tree or in the pavilion.
"This boy is really good at hiding. Let me catch him soon and show him how awesome he is." Gongfu secretly rejoiced. After a while, An'er was still not found, and he began to feel uneasy.
"It's strange. Where can people hide in such a small place? An'er, An'er, come out quickly. Grandpa must have lost. Come out quickly. If you don't come out, grandpa can go back." After calling for a long time, he still didn't do it.
When no one answered him, he panicked and started running around looking for him.
"It's terrible now. I'm really gone. I'm going to run away somewhere. An'er, come here. Grandpa has taken you home and bought you some candied haws. Come here." He found a place, but he didn't find a place.
Found it. 'Could he have gone home? Yes, go back and have a look.' He thought to himself, walked a few steps and then stopped.
'No, we can't go back. What if Jiao Rong Bilian comes to me for help? Don't panic, don't panic, don't panic. By the way, go find Shi Lin immediately and ask him to bring someone with him to find her.' So Li Gongfu hurried down the mountain.
Find Shilin.
At this time, An'er had already walked to the foot of another mountain freely. He didn't realize that his grandfather was already worried. Suddenly he heard a burst of crying in front of him. He walked forward and took a look. It turned out to be a little girl sitting there.
The little girl was holding her legs and crying on the stone steps. Her knees were bleeding.
"What's wrong with you?" he asked.
"I accidentally fell it, it hurts so much." The girl raised her head and shed two lines of clear tears.
"It's okay, I'll blow it for you." An'er knelt down and blew on the girl's knees.
"How about it, it doesn't hurt anymore. This is what my mother taught me. If you blow it, it won't hurt anymore." He said while blowing.
"Well, it's true." The girl also started to blow, and her two little heads were like two heads of garlic. An'er tore off the corner of his clothes and wrapped it around the girl's knees.
"Okay, it won't hurt anymore."
"Thank you, this is for you. I just picked it." The girl looked at him with a smile. She picked up the flowers beside her and handed them to An'er.
"I don't want it, this is your girl's stuff." An'er pushed it to her again, and the girl frowned, a little unhappy.
"Let me give this to you." An'er took out a small pinwheel and gave it to the girl.
"Wow, what a beautiful windmill." The girl held it and blew air toward the windmill. The windmill turned and turned. The two children ran with the windmill. When they were tired, they picked flowers together and had a great time.
.
Li Gongfu rushed all the way to Shilin's government office and told him the whole story. Shilin hurriedly changed into casual clothes, called two attendants, and walked towards Chenghuang Mountain.
"We were playing here just now. I've looked around, but there's nothing there. Where did this kid go? Oh, could he be given to a bad guy? If there's anything wrong with him, I'll hit him to death."
"Speaking of this, the father-in-law became more and more flustered.
"No, Dad, don't say that. Let's look for it again. Where to look." Shilin pointed to the path An'er took just now.
"Yes, why didn't I think of looking for it this way? This mountain must have a grudge against me. Something always happens every time I go to the mountain." Gongfu scratched his head.
"An'er... An'er..."
"It's getting dark soon, I have to go back, oh, grandpa!" An'er suddenly thought of her grandpa.
"Grandpa is still there playing hide and seek."
"Then I'll accompany you to find your grandpa." As she said that, the girl took An'er's hand and walked towards the place he pointed at.
"An'er..." Shilin and Gongfu shouted as they walked.
"It's dad, and grandpa. Dad..., grandpa..." He waved his little hand towards the figure in the distance. Li Gongfu rushed to An'er and hugged him.
"Where have you been? You scared grandpa to death. You kid, I won't take you out again." An'er laughed loudly in the grandfather's arms.
"Dad, Grandpa, An'er had a great time just now."
"You're so happy, grandpa almost died." Li Gongfu teased him with his beard. Shilin noticed the little girl next to him, and squatted down to look at her. Her black hair was tied up in two little knots, and her neat bangs were covered with a pair of
Watery eyes were also looking at him. Although she was a girl, she was wearing trousers, and the sleeves and trousers were a bit long.
"Little sister, what's your name?" Shilin asked kindly.
"My name is Yue'er." The girl said shyly.
"Yue'er, that's a nice name. Why are you alone in the mountains? Where do you live? I'll take you back."
"I live at the foot of the mountain. I come here all the time to pick flowers for my mother."
"Oh, what a filial child! Let's go then." Shilin picked up the girl and carried her to the foot of the mountain.
"Uncle, my house is right in front." Yue'er pointed with her finger, and Shilin put her down. She picked some flowers she had just picked and handed them to Shilin.
"This flower is for you, thank you, uncle. Goodbye, old man!" As she said that, she held the flower in one hand and the windmill in the other, and skipped towards the door of her house. She turned back and waved to them from time to time until she entered the house.
