Xingyun Liushui

"Hey, have you heard? A strange guy has moved into the village, and he lives next door to your house!"

As soon as Chu Xingyun opened his eyes, there were low walls, black tiles and low fences in front of him, and the vegetation in the small courtyard was lush.

He dreamed about his childhood.

The famine did not come when he was eight years old. He grew up smoothly day by day and lived with his family in that village.The days have been peaceful and comfortable, until a strange person moved in next door to his house.

The weirdo is really weird, he doesn't fight back when he is beaten, he doesn't fight back when he is scolded, he is as silent as a piece of wood, a walking dead has no emotion, his mind seems to be unclear, but he has a handsome face.

"You're so handsome! If it wasn't for that kid's weird temper, I really want to be a matchmaker for him!"

In the summer afternoon, under the yellow-green tree, two or three rattan chairs and cattail fans, Li Ma at the head of the village was talking about the mountains with her mother.Chu Xiaoyun, who was playing with mud, eavesdropped on the adults' conversation, and was very upset. Usually, when Li's mother came, she always praised him as the most handsome child and gave him candies, but today she kept talking about other people's children, huh, so Can a guy be as handsome as him?

Chu Xiaoyun decided to take a look at that strange man.

He skilfully climbed over the wall and stepped into the place where the weirdo lived. The small thatched hut was very dilapidated, the yard was overgrown with weeds, and the well was deserted with fallen leaves and yellow dust.

The strange man was sitting on the window with a strange posture, his clothes were torn, his hair was very long, tied into a ponytail and hanging down his back, the wind blew, and the ends of his hair swayed back and forth, making Chu Xiaoyun want to grab him.

He tiptoed over, the strange man was estimated to be fourteen or fifteen years old, with very long legs, standing several heads taller than him. The 11-year-old Xiaoyun looked at the big brother curiously. The man clearly heard the noise, but he didn't look back at him, as if he was a passing bird in the yard.

Chu Xiaoniao was not afraid of him either, she walked up to others blatantly and looked at his face boldly.

Xiao Xie, a 15-year-old boy, raised his head.

Okay, it's indeed a deadly handsome way.

Chu Xingyun curled his lips, turned his head and swaggered away, without the consciousness of trespassing, like those fat sparrows with their heads upright, fell into the yard with a huff, and jumped away again.

"boom--"

Suddenly a stone hit him at his feet, and a few kid heads appeared from outside the fence, giggling and giggling, when he saw Chu Xingyun standing in the courtyard, he was frightened and paled:

"Chu...Brother Chu! Why are you here? No... Didn't hit you!"

The child Wang Chu Xiaoyun picked up the stone and weighed it in his hand: "What do you think?"

"I'm sorry, Brother Chu! Don't mind! We want to beat this weirdo!"

Chu Xingyun's voice suddenly cooled down: "What did you beat him for?"

"Haha, this man is so stupid, he won't fight back even if he is beaten, and he won't hit him for nothing!"

"Oh?" Chu Xiaoyun threw stones and walked towards them: "I can't beat you, anyway, if it's not for nothing, do you think I should beat you to death?"

A group of little ghosts yelled loudly and hurriedly ran away, but they couldn't run faster than Chu Xingyun, they were caught by Xiaoyun at once, and beat them all over.

Since then, no kid has dared to come to this yard to throw stones and scold weirdos.

But the strange person is still very strange. Chu Xingyun thought that this person would at least come to thank him, but after waiting for several days, there was nothing.We are all neighbors, and we don't even say hello when we look down and see each other every day!

This strange brother was still the same as before, like a piece of dead ash, a piece of wood and stone, sitting in front of the window, watching the sun set from east to west, not moving at all, and not responding to anything.

"Hey, what happened to the kid next door? He sat there all day and didn't eat anything. What about his family?"

"I heard that they are gone. Oh, Ah Yun, come here, you go and give this meal to the big brother next door."

"Oh."

Chu Xiaoyun's face was calm, but his heart was a little excited. He was full of curiosity about the mysterious brother next door. Where did he come from?Why did you move here?And why do you sit like this every day?What's going on in his head?

Chu Xingyun turned into someone else's yard again, and wandered around like patrolling his own house: "Hello—is there anyone? Strange, it was clearly sitting here just now."

He couldn't find it anywhere, so he had to quietly put the food on the window lattice, and turned to go home.After walking a few steps, but not reconciled, the cat bent down and hid behind the small wall to observe.

The food was left for a while, and not long after, I saw that guy appearing out of nowhere, looking carefully at the food he sent, like a cat looking for food.Then he saw the man pick it up carefully, eat it bite by bite, and obediently put it back in the original place after eating. Turning around, he disappeared from nowhere.

As night fell, Chu Xiaoyun sneaked in and took the dishes away.Every day since then, he quietly came to deliver meals to the elder brother next door, wearing a sunset glow when he came, and a moon and stars when he left.

He heard from Mama Li that the strange brother next door was named Xie Heshui, a strange name.Every time he goes to feed at dusk, Xie Guaishui is not there, and this guy will come out to eat when he hides behind a small wall, just like feeding a little wild cat, Xie the kitten will be there when there is no one else. It's funny running out, licking the plate with vigilance and contentment.

Chu Xiaoyun rummaged through the boxes at home and found his silkworm baby observation picture book. The first half of the book was the record of the silkworm baby’s molt that he had drawn before, and the second half was still empty. Record.

Every time Xingyun holds a dilapidated picture book, hides behind a small wall and observes in secret, thinking that his actions are hidden, like a gangster and a military strategist behind the scenes, everything is under control, but the tall and handsome Xie Xiaoshui is standing in the courtyard , just a short glance, behind the small wall, I saw a small furry head moving around, like a restless kitten.

Leaning against the window sill, the young Xie slowly picked up a piece of cabbage, chewed it carefully, and curled the corners of his mouth.

One evening, when Danxia Zini painted the sky all over, Chu Xiaoyun put the rice on the window sill as usual, then thumped to the back of the wall, looked in through the gap between the bricks and stones, and the moss was completely earthy. In the breath, what you see in your eyes is the deserted vegetation, the eaves of the small courtyard, and the tableware and chopsticks that are not moving.

Strange, why don't you come out to eat today?

Chu Xingyun held the feeding record he drew, opened his eyes wide, and looked into the gap carefully. For some reason, his vision was moving and rising, and then he suddenly found himself...

"what--"

Chu Xiaoyun was picked up.

The young man Xie mentioned Xiaoyun, and looked at him with a half-smile in his eyes:

"You peek at me."

"I...I didn't!" Chu Xiaoyun argued loudly with red ears like a cat whose tail was stepped on:

"I'm called... to observe you, to observe when you finish eating, so I can take the bowls and chopsticks home, who do you think you are, who wants to watch you!"

He tried to use the volume to show his correctness, but the weirdo seemed to believe it, and put him down gently.

Chu Xingyun breathed a sigh of relief, however, Xie Liushui squatted down and gently picked up his album.

"what--"

He jumped over to snatch it, but this strange man was so tall that he couldn't touch it with a slight movement of his hand. He could only watch helplessly as this guy opened his picture album...

The young Xie pointed at the many Xie stick figures who were eating, smiled, and asked:

"Didn't peek at me?"

Chu Xingyun: "..."

He was ashamed, annoyed, ashamed and angry, he couldn't say anything for a while, and finally a manly heroism poured into his heart, and he simply said directly:

"Yes, I'll just spy on you! So what?"

The young man Xie Yi was taken aback: "Not much."

"Then it's fine! Look at your eyes and you won't lose a piece of meat, give it back to me!" Chu Xiaoyun snatched back the album, his face was angry, his heart was empty, his feet were slippery, and he wished he could burrow into the ground and disappear immediately.

"Wait, this is for you."

Xiao Xie took out a big package containing silk and toys: "Thank you for delivering the food all the time, and thank you to your mother. Thank you for your family's care during this time."

"No, you're welcome, they're all...neighbors." Chu Xiaoyun scratched his head, a little embarrassed, "I'll come back tomorrow evening!"

Day after day, he found that the strange brother next door gradually became less strange. He could talk and laugh, and he could cook well. silkworm baby.

Sometimes Chu Xiaoyun doesn’t want to go crazy with kids of the same age, so he comes to play with brother Xie next door. For some reason, when he’s with this guy, Chu Xingyun hates kids who want to follow him, he just wants to be with Xie Liushui Go with two people.They ran in the summer rain, looked for frogs in the rice fields, caught fish in the streams, stole honey in the mountains, and dug traps to beat rabbits.

If you do these things with ordinary children, you will be stung by bees when you poke the honeycomb, you will never be able to catch rabbits, and catching fish will always turn into a water fight in the end, with no gain.But following Xie Liushui, he can eat roasted rabbit meat with honey and crispy fried fish until he is full.

"Hey, I didn't see it before, you are so powerful."

Chu Xiaoyun leaned over and saw that Xie Xiaoshui spread honey on the rabbit's legs, roasting them until they were slick and oily.

Xie Liushui stretched out the rabbit's leg in front of him: "Who are you, it's not big or small, call me brother."

The aroma of roasted rabbit meat is so soul-stirring, Chu Xingyun is unwilling to say:

"Brother Xie, give me the rabbit's leg."

Xie Liushui handed over the rabbit's leg, then took it back, and said strangely, "Why don't you call me Brother Liushui?"

Chu Xingyun gave him a hard look, and jumped over to grab the rabbit's leg. The young Xie raised his arm and said with a smile:

"Call me out."

Chu Xiaoyun, who was several heads shorter than him, couldn't reach him, so he said with difficulty:

"Run...running water...no! I won't eat!"

How could he bend his waist for a little rabbit's legs if he was so grotesque and mighty and unyielding.Chu Xiaoyun sat beside the grill in a huff.

"Okay, okay, just kidding."

The young Xie handed him the rabbit leg. Chu Xingyun leaned forward, took a bite, and ate it with relish. He raised his eyes and saw the smoke from the bonfire curling up. 15-year-old Xie Liushui is looking at himself and smiling...

Chu Xingyun woke up from the bed.

Holding a big Xie Xiaohun in his arms.

The day just broke dawn, the east was rolling with a white belly, and the morning glow was waiting to splash up to welcome the sunrise. A little light fell on the ends of Xie Liushui's hair. Chu Xingyun stretched out his index finger, pinched the ends of Xiao Xie's hair, and twisted them into one by one Play in circles.

"You woke up so early today?"

"Well." Chu Xingyun said, "I had a dream."

The dream was full of impossible wonders, and I met 15-year-old Xiao Xie.At that time, Xie Liushui had just lost a close relative, Shiyang Tianzhuo had failed, his body was extremely weak, and his spirit was on the verge of collapse. This was the most difficult time in his life.

He met Xie Liushui at the most difficult time in his life, but Xie Liushui met no one at the most helpless age of 15.

Whether in the dream or not, at least I want to accompany him, I hope I can always be by his side.

At this time, Chu Xingyun has not realized that the soul is the same body, and the heart has a tacit understanding. In fact, they are also connected in their dreams.

Xie Liushui stretched out his hand and took Chu Xingyun into his arms:

"Coincidentally, I also had a dream.

He reminisced about the 15-year-old in his dream, and couldn't help smiling:

"It's a very beautiful dream."

Chu Xingyun was very curious after hearing this:

"What dream?"

Xie Liushui smiled and didn't answer, just bent down to kiss him:

"A dream that has come true."
