Chapter 127 A Little Rabbit.

Jiang Zuilan smiled and didn't speak. After feeding her and laying down, she cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks, and when she came out, she saw Li Chuzheng eating the rice, and said while eating, "Alan, the food you cook tastes really good. My mother made it delicious."

Before Jiang Zuilan could speak, a voice suddenly came from outside.

"Brother Li Chu, the doctor is here." Mei Yue looked for the doctor, and Jiang Zuilan knew from the sound that it wasn't the doctor who gave her acupuncture last time.

The doctor treated Li Chu's wound bitten by the snake again, and prescribed some medicine, "Fortunately, it was treated in time, and there is nothing serious. Rest for two days, eat something light, and don't touch the wound for a few days. Then apply the herbal medicine, drink some medicine, and you'll be fine."

"Thank you, doctor." Li Chu paid the money, and the doctor left. Mei Yue looked at Li Chu with some concern.

"Mei Yue, you can stay and have a meal." Li Chu said seeing that Mei Yue hadn't left yet.

"No, brother Li Chu, I'll go back first." Mei Yue walked away after finishing speaking, turning her head a little reluctantly.

The next day Jiang Zuilan cooked early, fed Aunt Li and finished eating, and was ready to go out after eating.

Seeing that Li Chu was puzzled, he quickly asked, "Alan, what are you doing?"

"Go to the back mountain to have a look."

"Why do you go to the back mountain because your eyes are not convenient? The back mountain is very dangerous."

"My eyes are almost healed now, don't worry, I'll be back soon."

Jiang Zuilan left after finishing speaking. She was going to hunt some small animals on the mountain. After all, she had done this kind of thing before. Now her eyesight has almost recovered, and she can hunt some prey for a meal.

As soon as Jiang Zuilan walked to the foot of the mountain, he saw a young man with a bow and arrow hanging from his waist and a pheasant in his hand, singing.

Jiang Zuilan didn't know anyone in the village, and she didn't intend to say hello. She didn't expect the young man to take the initiative to say hello to her, "Hey, aren't you the girl that Li Chu's family saved? Your eyes are healed? Are you going up the mountain?"

Jiang Zuilan didn't explain so much to him, but simply responded.

"Where's Li Chu? What are you going to do on the mountain alone? There are wild boars and snakes on the mountain. Don't run around if you have bad eyesight!" The young man was a little shy, but he could still hear good intentions from his words.

"My eyes are fine, I just want to go to the mountains." Jiang Zuilan left after finishing speaking, ignoring the man's reaction.

Turned around on the mountain a few times to step on the spot, then listened carefully, and then walked to the place where the sound was heard.

Jiang Zuilan followed the slight rustling sound and approached, picked up a stone and held it in her hand. There was a gray mass moving in the grass.

Taking a closer look, it was a rabbit. Jiang Zuilan calmly aimed at the rabbit, and threw a stone ten meters away.

The stone hit the rabbit's head, and the rabbit was knocked out.

Walking forward, he bent down and reached out to pick up the rabbit, which weighed about four or five catties.

As soon as it was picked up, there was movement not far away, the sound of leaves rustling, accompanied by footsteps.

Jiang Zuilan looked warily at the place where the sound came from, and a tall figure appeared in her sight, it was the man just now.

"Girl, why are you still staying on the mountain?" When the man saw that Jiang Zuilan was safe and sound, he let go of the stone in his heart, "You girl is just running around with eyes, so you are not afraid of jackals and the like taking you away. Is it?"

The man paused when he saw the rabbit in Jiang Zuilan's hand, smiled slightly, and asked, "Are you still hunting?"

"Bumped into a tree and fainted, I picked it up." Jiang Zuilan took the rabbit and turned around and left, regardless of the man's surprise.

She walked to the place where she met Li Chu yesterday, remembering that she hadn't taken back the basket yesterday, and when she got there, she found that the basket was still there, so she tied the rabbit with vines and put it in the basket.

When Jiang Zuilan walked to Li Chu's house, she saw a limping Li Chu standing at the door looking around from a distance.

"You're finally back, worrying about me to death."

"It's okay." Jiang Zuilan said softly.

"By the way, I saw Li San coming back from hunting just now. He said he saw you. I asked him to call you back. Didn't you see anyone?"

Li Chu thought that Li San came to him just now, saying that he saw Jiang Zuilan going up the mountain, and he didn't know what he was doing, if it wasn't for his inconvenient legs, he wouldn't bother Li San.

Later, I was a little worried about Jiang Zuilan's beauty, and I was afraid that Li San would be attracted to her. Li San is also a simple and honest person, but he is not afraid of [-], just in case. It seems that he was rash in asking Li San to help find someone, but fortunately, it's okay.

"I saw a young man. I don't know if it's Li San." Jiang Zuilan remembered the man just now, but she didn't know if Li Chu was referring to him.

"He was wearing a gray top and black pants, and he was holding a pheasant in his hand before." Li Chu said thinking of Li San's clothes just now.

"Well, I met such a person." Jiang Zuilan took off the pannier and picked up the rabbit.

Li Chu's attention had just shifted from Jiang Zuilan to the pannier. Unexpectedly, she still remembered the pannier he forgot to take yesterday, and his eyes lit up.

But she was immediately attracted by the rabbit in her hand, "Where did this rabbit come from?"

"I picked it up." Jiang Zuilan didn't explain, just perfunctory, regardless of whether he believed it or not, anyway, if he said that he hit it himself, he might not believe it.

"Ah? Picked it up? It's still alive." Li Chu was a little surprised that he had grown up so big, and had never picked up a rabbit before. Didn't expect that she could pick up a rabbit the first time she went up the mountain?
And such a cute rabbit, Li Chu swallowed.

Then I saw Jiang Zuilan holding the rabbit in one hand, and gently swiping with a kitchen knife in the other, the rabbit ended its life.

"..."

This made him a little dazed, such a soft little girl, never thought of killing such a cute rabbit, so light and fluffy, this is...too elegant, right?

He originally thought that she would be a spoiled young lady, but it turned out not at all. She didn't feel disgusted at all when eating rough grains and wild vegetables like them. She could even handle household tasks like cooking, and even rabbits could handle them so easily. Who is it?
"Counting me now, we have three patients who need to be mended." Jiang Zuilan's voice was flat, and she handled the rabbit neatly.

Li Chu pursed his lips, thinking that this was like saving a snail girl, if only she lived like this all the time.

"Alan, do you want to cook? I'll help you."

"Ah."

Li Chu moved one leg to the kitchen and started to light the fire.

Jiang Zuilan only found salt, ginger, garlic and chopped green onion in the vegetable garden, and made it lighter. Speaking of which, the old, weak, sick and disabled are all sick, so they want to eat lighter.

Even Aunt Li who was lying in the next room could smell the fragrance that wafted out.

"It smells so good!" Aunt Li smelled the fragrance, her eyes were bright, and she swallowed subconsciously.

Li Chu, who was adding fire, smelled the fragrance and looked at the girl who was busy in the kitchen, feeling sweet in his heart.

Just when Li Chu didn't know what he was thinking, a voice came, "It's time to eat."

"Oh, good." Jiang Zuilan filled two bowls of rice and two dishes.

I made a soup and a fried rabbit meat with a lot of meat.

"Alan thanked you for your hard work."

When Li Chu said this, he was a little embarrassed.

His legs are so swollen that it is inconvenient to walk, and now he has to trouble her to do these things.

"It's okay." Jiang Zuilan picked up the cutting board, put the food on the cutting board, and brought it into Aunt Li's room.

"Girl, why is there still meat today?" Aunt Li didn't expect Li Chu to eat meat without going to town.

"It's the rabbit that Li Chu brought back from the mountain today." Jiang Zuilan said casually, and then began to feed Aunt Li.

Aunt Li didn't expect her son to be able to beat the rabbit back. This is a rare thing. I haven't seen him beat anything in so many years. This time it's a blessing.

The meal was very harmonious, Jiang Zuilan came back after feeding Aunt Li and found that Li Chu hadn't started eating yet.

"Why don't you eat?"

Jiang Zuilan was a little puzzled, does he not eat rabbit meat?
"Waiting for you to eat together, thank you for taking care of my mother these two days." Li Chu scratched his head, a little embarrassed.

At this moment, a soft voice suddenly came from outside.

"Brother Li Chu."

Li Chu looked at the door and saw Mei Yue running in, her cheeks were slightly pink.

She sat directly next to Li Chu, and asked Li Chu with concern, "How is your injury? I said to help you, but you refused."

Li Chu smiled and moved the injured leg, "Look, it's really fine, don't worry, the doctor said it will be fine in two days."

"You guys are eating, Brother Li Chu, did you make this?" Mei Yue asked with some doubts, it smelled very good.

"Alan did it." Li Chu looked at Jiang Zuilan and said with a smile.

Mei Yue raised her eyebrows, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes.

Seeing how delicate and frail this girl is, I didn't expect to be able to cook!

Moreover, she glanced at the meals, and it was obvious that she knew how to cook them, and there was meat in them, which actually smelled delicious.

"Mei Yue, let's have dinner together." Li Chu looked at Mei Yue sitting and watching them eat, a little unnatural.

"Well, good." Mei Yue didn't refuse, she wanted to see if the food she cooked could be eaten, so she swallowed subconsciously.

"Mei Yue, go to the kitchen to serve food by yourself, it's inconvenient for me." Li Chu smiled, his legs are also inconvenient, so it's not easy to serve her.

"Okay, I'll serve it myself." Mei Yue ran to the kitchen to fill a bowl of rice by herself, took a bite with chopsticks, and it was not bad, but unexpectedly, the rice was not bad.

Mei Yue ate and ran back feeling a little disappointed.

"Are you full?" Li Chu looked at Jiang Zuilan and asked.

"I'm full." Jiang Zuilan nodded while tidying up the dishes.

"Don't go out in the afternoon. I think this leg will be healed tomorrow." Li Chu was afraid that she would run around again. Although the people in the village were fine, he was afraid of meeting someone with malicious intentions. After all, such a slick girl , it will be troublesome if any bachelor sees it.

"Ah."

After eating, Li Chu took a few books and read them in the yard, and Jiang Zuilan also sat beside him.

Jiang Zuilan glanced at the place where he was sitting just now, and he had scratched a lot of handwriting on the ground with twigs.

Seeing Jiang Zuilan looking over, Li Chu erased those words in embarrassment. Jiang Zuilan didn't look at what was written in those words. Although her eyes were blurry, she might not be able to see clearly. Even if she could see clearly, she didn't bother look.

She glanced at the broken book in Li Chu's hand, "Are you reading?"

"Ah."

"Are you literate?"

Li Chu glanced at Jiang Zuilan, she should be literate.

"Ah."

Jiang Zuilan said indifferently, "Aren't you also literate?
"I've only been in a private school for two years, and I almost forgot what I learned at the beginning."

Jiang Zuilan took a vague look, and it turned out that what he was reading was a book of moderation.

I can't even afford to eat and I still read books, which is really leisurely.

"I see some things in the cloud, can you help me look at them?" Li Chu looked intermittently, frowned and thought for a while, and then asked Jiang Zuilan, "Ah Lan, what are these two poems? what?"

Jiang Zuilan took the book and looked at it carefully, and said, "When happiness, anger, sorrow, and joy are not released, it is called the middle; when it is released, it is called harmony. Those who are in the middle are the foundation of the world, and those who are in harmony are the greatness of the world." Tao also."

"What does this mean? Can you tell me?" Li Chu was a little confused. He could understand most of the words, but the meaning of these words was too difficult for him to understand for a while.

Jiang Zuilan thought for a while and said, "It's because the emotions of joy, anger, sorrow, and joy did not occur, which can be called neutrality. The emotions of joy, anger, sorrow, and joy did occur, but they were all moderate and restrained, which can be called harmony. Moderation is the most harmonious in the world. Fundamentally, harmony is the law that the world follows. When neutrality is achieved, the world will be in its own place, and all things will grow and develop."

Jiang Zuilan spoke softly, Li Chu's eyes lit up, but Jiang Zuilan didn't look.

"Isn't it good now? What are you doing after learning so much?"

Li Chu frowned with thick sword eyebrows, and while thinking hard, said, "Is this okay now? Do you really think so?"

Jiang Zuilan turned to look at him, Li Chu gave Jiang Zuilan a naive smile again, "But..." I want to give the person I like a better life.

His smile is naive, he wants to make himself appear solid and dependable, so that he can be more worthy of her.

Jiang Zuilan didn't ask what he didn't say, she was not interested in these things, learning is always good, no matter what it was for, it was just his business.

Li Chu read another sentence, "The destiny is called nature, the willfulness is called Dao, and the cultivation of Dao is called teaching. Dao is one that cannot be separated from it even for a moment, but it is not Dao. Therefore, a gentleman should be careful what he does not see." , Fear of what one does not hear. Nothing is seen or hidden, nothing is shown or subtle, so a gentleman is careful about his independence. What does it mean?"

Jiang Zuilan took the book and read it for a while, then said, "The thing bestowed by the heavens is nature, following the nature is the way, and following the way to cultivate oneself is teaching. The way cannot be separated for a moment, but it is not the way to leave. Therefore, A gentleman should also be careful where no one sees, and fear and awe where no one hears. When he is hidden, he will be discovered, and subtleties will be obvious, so a gentleman should be cautious when he is alone."

In fact, Jiang Zuilan doesn't usually read these books. The main purpose of the whole book of the Doctrine of the Mean is to discuss neutralization and methods to achieve neutralization. She is not interested in these.

Unexpectedly, this Li Chu still studied this book, and no one taught it. It is really difficult to learn like this, and it may not be useful if you learn it, and it is just used to pass the time.

That's right, now it's just time to pass the time, Jiang Zuilan also took a book, and the two of them talked a few words from time to time while reading it.

Time passed quickly, the evening wind in early summer trembled, the moon hung high in the sky, and when she looked up in the night sky, she saw countless fireflies dancing in the night sky.

At night here, there are only oil lamps to illuminate the small square inch of land, flickering and flickering.

Li Chu saw Jiang Zuilan looking at the firefly, then turned around and walked out with a limp.

Seeing Li Chu go out, Jiang Zuilan thought he had gone to the latrine, and ignored him.

After a while, I heard a burst of inconsistent footsteps coming from outside.

Looking up, she saw Li Chu running up to her out of breath, her hair was stained with grass and dirt.

"What did you do?" Jiang Zuilan wondered, did this guy go to fight with someone in the middle of the night?
Li Chu chuckled and took out the hand hidden behind his back.

Suddenly, Jiang Zuilan's eyes flashed with light.

Taking a closer look, he was holding two clean gauze balls in his hand, and the inside was emitting a faint fluorescent light, like two small lamps.

Li Chu laughed and said, "I went to catch it just now. How about it? Can you see it a little brighter now? Your eyes just hurt too much with an oil lamp. This is just right."

While speaking, he eagerly brought the bag of fireflies to Jiang Zuilan.

The light of fireflies is very faint and flickering, very beautiful.

Li Chu could clearly see the pair of bright eyes and the expressionless face in front of him.

He looked at her, trembling in his heart.

"How is it? Is it bright?"

"Light," she said.

Li Chu held the two gauze bags in both hands and handed them to Jiang Zuilan.

Jiang Zuilan opened the gauze bag and released the fireflies. Li Chuzheng was smiling. Suddenly, a ray of starlight drifted past his eyes.

After a closer look, it turned out to be a firefly.

The fireflies surrounded them as soon as they came out, and the dots of fluorescent light kept flickering, on and off, like countless dots of starlight lingering around them.

Jiang Zuilan stretched out her hand cautiously, and let a few fireflies rest in her palm. The light in her eyes flickered on and off with the rhythm of the fireflies. This kind of beauty can live longer in the night sky.

The fireflies in the night sky radiated a faint light, and when he saw her so beautiful side face, he fell in love at a glance.

The fluorescent light scattered in her eyes, like a dreamy sea of ​​stars, and her eyebrows and eyes were deeply imprinted in his mind.

It turns out that everything in the world is less than one ten-thousandth of her eyes. The summer fireflies are flying in the night sky, sparkling, just like her eyes. before.

All kinds of birds chirping and insect chirping intertwined, adding excitement to the originally peaceful night. Looking at this scene, Li Chuduo thought that this moment could stay forever, and her eyes were also shining with stars. Feel this moment and want to engrave it all in my heart.

The night sky and this firefly became the background, and Li Chu only had her in his eyes.

"It's so beautiful." Looking at the person in front of him, Li Chu was suddenly in a trance, and his heart was pounding.

He looked at Jiang Zuilan, fireflies were reflected in those clear eyes, there was an indescribable touch of clarity, like a clear spring, clean and clear, even making people reluctant to stir up a little ripple.

The people are beautiful, and the scenery is also beautiful. Li Chu will often think of such a night in the years to come, and every time he thinks of it, a happy smile hangs on the corner of his mouth.

If they could stay in that night, that past, everything would be different?
Can he remain unknown as a villager who lives by collecting herbs, using his own savings to support her with difficulty, maybe not enough to eat and not warm, but when he is not full, he will leave rations for her, He would warm her with his chest when the clothes were not warm.

At that time, he slowly raised his head, looking through the bustling capital in front of him, looking at the familiar and cold face in front of him, it was still the same as before, she was still the same as before.

It's just that he... can never go back to the past.

Many years later, when Li Chu looked at Jiang Zuilan, his eyes were full of the clear pupils reflected by the fireflies in the darkness and his peaceful face, as if nothing had changed, except that he never stopped walking towards her.

"Let's go, I'm going to cook." Jiang Zuilan said and left.

As if suddenly awakened from a dream, Li Chu stood on the spot, surrounded by fireflies flying around, and he stood in the flickering fluorescent light, but he didn't leave for a long time.

.

The next day, Li Chu's legs were no longer swollen and he could walk normally.

In the morning, Li Chu had already prepared the meal. He was a little embarrassed to ask Jiang Zuilan to cook for the past two days, so he hurriedly prepared the meal in advance when his feet were well, and he was determined not to bother her.

It's just that when Li Chu delivered the meal to his mother, he smiled when he heard her mother nagging that the meal was not as good as yesterday.

Li Chu was going to go to the mountains to collect herbs after eating. Thinking of not going to the mountains these two days because of his legs, and the rice that was about to bottom out, he felt a little guilty. It was really hard for her to follow him.

"Are you going to go to the mountains to collect herbs? I'll go too." Jiang Zuilan is going to buy some small animals for supplements. After all, her body is still too weak, and now she needs to recover quickly.

Li Chu looked at her in surprise. Hearing that she was going to follow her into the deep mountains, he frowned, "No, it's too dangerous inside."

"You forgot that I went there yesterday, and don't you often go there too?" Jiang Zuilan disagreed with him, anyone like him can go, why can't she go?

Li Chu smiled and said helplessly, "Then you must always follow me."

"Yeah." Jiang Zuilan answered with a twitch of her mouth.

While holding a machete to open the way, Li Chu picked all the medicines he saw and put them in the basket.

Jiang Zuilan paid attention to the movement around her, when suddenly there was a rooster crowing in the woods.

"Is it a pheasant?" Li Chu turned his head to look, but the chicken was too nimble, and he couldn't catch it even if he wanted to.

"Keep your voice down." Jiang Zuilan whispered, picked up a stone and approached slowly.

Li Chu saw Jiang Zuilan picking up a stone and approaching the pheasant, as if he wanted to hit the pheasant. Naturally, he didn't believe that she could catch it, but he also stood there without making a sound, so as not to scare the pheasant away.

Jiang Zuilan got a little closer, watching the pheasant scratching and pulling in the leaves, and with a strong hand, threw the stone out.

"Quack quack quack!" The pheasant crowed a few times, and the pheasant fell to the ground and struggled for a few times and then stopped moving. Jiang Zuilan calmly stepped forward to pick up the pheasant, and when she walked over holding the pheasant's legs, Li Chu Haven't slowed down yet.
