Chapter 2 Small Gourd
Chapter 2 Little Gourd ()
With a cheerful young scream, the thin figure came to the boy.
This thin figure is a little girl who looks about seven or eight years old. Her face is an unhealthy sallow yellow, but her eyebrows are elegant.
After stretching out a pair of small hands from the long sleeves that seemed to be about to mop the floor, the little girl grabbed the boy's clothes and shouted happily: "Brother!"
The boy reached out and patted the little girl's head gently, and whispered: "It's so cold outside, what dares you come out? Go back with me!"
As he said that, the young man put his hand down from the little girl's head, grabbed one of the little girl's hands, and walked towards the dilapidated temple.
There are no statues of gods in the dilapidated temple, only two beds, one big and one small, one missing a table, two chairs without backs, and a tattered black pot that was hung up.
There was a faint fire under the black pot and some dry firewood was on the side.
Close the fairly complete temple gate, the boy pulled the little girl to the front of the pot.
After letting go of the little girl's right hand, the boy waved his left hand in front of the little girl, letting go of his clenched hand, and showing the gourd-like little stone in front of the little girl.
In the dim light, the small stone on the boy's hand seemed like a small white gourd.
The little girl took the little stone that was already warmed by the boy's hand, held it in her hand with a happy face and observed it carefully for a while. She looked up at the young man and asked, "Brother, is this for Xiao Ni'er?"
While taking out the small cloth bag containing fish from his arms, the boy whispered: "If you don't give it to you, who else can my brother give it to? Do you like it?"
"I like it! Thank you brother!"
Even though this small stone has a special shape, like a small gourd, this stone is still an ordinary stone.
However, in Xiao Ni'er's eyes, this stone is more precious than anything else.
When the boy moved away the bricks under the big bed and put the small cloth bag containing the fish in it, Xiao Ni'er took off a piece of water drop-shaped white jade from her neck, which was threaded from her thin silver thread.
Untie the knot of the thin silver thread, Xiao Ni'er took off the drop-shaped white jade, and then carefully tied the small gourd-shaped stone.
After tied up the small stone, Xiao Ni'er connected the thread again and hung it around her neck.
After doing all this, Xiao Ni'er ran to the boy who was making fire with dry firewood, and said with a show of flaunting, "Brother, look!"
The boy looked up and saw that the little Ni'er was shaking the gourd-like small stone with thin silver threads.
Seeing Xiao Ni'er's happy look, the boy smiled slightly, and then suddenly remembered the water drop-shaped jade originally tied with thin silver threads.
Although the boy didn't know many things, he knew that the water drop-shaped stone was a very precious jade, and he also guessed that the water drop-shaped jade was very important to Xiao Ni'er.
Seeing that the jade on the silver thread disappeared, the boy asked quickly, "Xiao Ni'er, where is your jade?"
When Xiao Nier saw the boy not praising her, she asked about the jade instead, and said unhappily: "I put it on the table."
The boy put down the dry firewood in his hand, walked to the table, picked up the drop-shaped jade that emitted soft white light, turned around and said to Xiao Nier, "Xiao Nier, didn't your brother tell you that this piece of jade is important? Why did you untie it casually?"
Xiao Ni'er replied unhappily: "I want a rope to tie the little gourd that my brother gave me, of course I have to untie it."
When the boy heard this, he shook his head gently, untied the black string tied on his wrist, passed through the small hole in the jade, tied the two rope heads, and then hung them towards Xiao Ni'er's neck.
Xiao Ni'er dodged for a moment and let the young man hang the jade around her neck.
Although he did not resist the boy's move to hang jade on her neck, after the boy hanged the jade on her neck, Xiao Ni'er kept twisting her neck, looking very uncomfortable.
Seeing the little Ni'er pouting and shaking her little head, the boy smiled slightly, and then went to the ragged black pot to make a fire.
Although I got some fish, because there was still dried vegetable soup in the black pot that they had not finished eating in half a morning, the boy just heated the dried vegetable soup in the black pot for supper.
Of course, drinking dried vegetable soup alone cannot fill your stomach, but the supper between the boy and Xiao Nier is just the dried vegetable soup.
After drinking the dried vegetable soup, the boy coaxed Xiao Ni'er to fall asleep, but the boy couldn't sleep at all.
The boy is simple-minded and will not feel too much sorrow. He can't sleep just because he is too hungry.
Although he was so hungry that he couldn't stand it, the boy did not dare to turn his body, for fear of waking up the little Ni'er who was huddled in his arms.
At the third update, the boy might be too sleepy and became a little sleepy in a daze.
At this moment, the little Nier in the boy's arms suddenly shouted: "Brother Shitou! Brother Shitou!"
The little girl is called Xiao Nier, and the boy is called Shi Tou. Perhaps, the little girl likes the little stone that the boy gave him so much is because the boy is called Shi Tou.
Xiao Ni'er shouted twice and fell asleep again, but the sleepiness that had just appeared in Shi Tou disappeared.
