many worries

After that day, in the early morning of the next day, 27 packed up his swords and weapons, tied his whole body tightly, and squatted outside the courtyard gate waiting for Chen Sang.

As soon as Chen Sang opened the door, he saw a thin young man looking up at him. He asked, "What's wrong? I'm going to hunt in the mountains today, so I don't have time to teach you martial arts."

27 lowered his head and spoke for a long time, "I'm going hunting too."

Chen Sang was a little amused, "What kind of hunting are you hunting? Such a small freshman."

27 stared at him, "Who is a child? I'm already this old. Besides, I'm very skilled in martial arts. Why can't I hunt?"

The wind outside was very strong, it had sleet yesterday, and the ground was frozen, Chen Sang glanced at him, "It's not something easy and fun, you go talk to Xinxin."

27 was very angry, he stood up, but he didn't have Chen Sanggao, he didn't grow up after all, "I'm not going to play, I just want to practice my hands."

In fact, he didn’t tell the truth. When he went back yesterday, he heard those old ladies talking about it. They said that it was snowing, it would freeze the next day, and the roads on the mountain would be slippery. It's not easy, and I'm not afraid of falling from the top, with no one around, it's very dangerous.

27 thought about it for a long time, and packed up his things early in the morning before dawn and waited here.

But he wouldn't tell Chen Sang this.

He was very indifferent, and muttered to Chen Sang, "If you don't want to, I will go up the mountain by myself, not with you."

Chen Sang has a good temper, but now he is peaceful again. He treats him as his own son and spoils him even more. He looks at 27 helplessly and says, "Then you come with me. But, did you bring less things?"

27 touched the weapons all over his body, "Nothing is missing."

Chen Sang said: "Do you think the mountain is the same as the mountain? It's very cold now, go and add some thick clothes."

27: "Ah..."

He is a young man, full of anger, and he is greedy to dress well. In addition, the winter in the south of the Yangtze River is not very cold, so he didn't even buy a thick coat.

Xinxin fell asleep drowsily, and when she got better, every day when Chen Sang left, she would wake up for a while to say goodbye to her, and then go back to sleep.But now that he heard Chen Sang's return, he could distinguish Chen Sang's footsteps, because they were unique to him.

He asked in a trance: "What's wrong?"

Chen Sang lightly rummaged through the cabinets, heard that he didn't look for any clothes anymore, leaned over to give him a kiss, and explained: "The boy wants to go up the mountain with me, and he has no clothes to wear. I'll take them for him." One of my own..."

Yixin frowned, he was very good at taking care of people, and he could tell something was wrong, "You are much bigger than him, and it doesn't fit you well, and you don't feel warm, take one of mine..."

His memory is not very good now, so he has to think for a while before he can remember the general idea, "Is there a white fox jacket that I brought from Beijing, and it's in the back of the cabinet. You don't know where it is, I'll get up..."

Chen Sang interrupted him, "Understood, why are you so worried, just sleep well, and I'll get it."

Satisfied and fell asleep peacefully.

As a result, 27 almost fell that day because he was not familiar with the road conditions, and was dragged up by Chen Sang, a semi-disabled man who he thought could not use his right hand.

27 sat there sullenly, secretly glanced at Chen Sang, and asked ferociously, "Why don't you laugh at me?"

Chen Sang gave him his saliva, and said calmly: "What a joke, how old are you, you shouldn't be laughed at if you make any mistakes. But no matter what you do, you must be careful, don't just rely on your ability to ignore the danger ,right?"

27 held back for a long time before finally choking out the word "yes".

He thought to himself, Chen Sang really knows how to talk, no wonder he was able to deceive Xinxin, and he was so devoted and devoted.

Later, most of them went hunting together. Two people are better than one, and they brought back more prey.In addition, as the end of the new year is approaching, every household is preparing for the festival, and the prey will not worry about selling, so life is much easier, and the family has also changed its appearance.

27 did not come to live together.

When Chen Sang reorganized the house at home, he wanted to help him build a house with great interest. 27's eyes lit up, but he still shook his head, turning his face away, not looking at Chen Sang, but avoiding the distance. "If we live together, the higher-ups will definitely transfer me if they find out."

He doesn't want to go.

If they went up to the mountains to hunt together every day, it could still be considered as surveillance, but living together would be too close, no matter how they explained it, it would be hard to explain.

Chen Sang was silent for a moment, he sighed, because of his throat, his sigh was almost inaudible, he just said: "I forgot."

But the only exception is New Year's Eve.

On the early morning of New Year's Eve, Chen Sang got up and was busy preparing the New Year's Eve dinner. Xin Xin watched the whole process from the side and gave Chen Sang a high level of spiritual support.Because Xin Xin knows nothing about cooking, even though she has been in the imperial dining room for a long time, she is not a cook, and it is useless to hear and see. She can even cook porridge on weekdays, let alone cook more complicated meals. .

In the past six months, Chen Sang has been able to cook whenever he has free time, and his cooking skills have improved a lot. He is not at all panicky when facing big occasions like the New Year's Eve dinner. Pulled to be a coolie. 27 Now I listen to Chen Sang very much, but unfortunately I am not very proficient. I can’t even catch a live chicken, so the strong old hen ran away with flapping wings. Killing it in other ways will affect the taste. After chasing it outside the yard for a long time, I finally caught the chicken back to the kitchen.

Hair plucking is another disaster.

Watching this scene with peace and contentment, he stared at the rice flour on his stove.

Chen Sang and 27 didn't pay attention, and Xin had already cooked the rice noodles, and moved a stool to paste the couplets.He had gained weight recently, but he was still thin compared to ordinary people, trembling in the cold wind, as if he would be blown away if he didn't pay attention.

However, his hands and feet were very fast, and after a while, only the blessing character on the gate was left unposted.The gate was too high, and the word "Fu" had to be pasted upside down on the top. Xin Xin stood on tiptoe, fearing that the post would be crooked, but almost fell from the top. It happened that after the chicken was killed, 27 came out to catch his breath and held on to the stool.

27 Now he is loyal to Chen Sang, and immediately howls to the kitchen: "Uncle Xin didn't tell us, he secretly finished posting the couplets!"

Xinxin: "..."

The deal was done, and Chen Sang couldn't bear to blame Yixin, walked to the gate, stood on the bench as well, and said to the two of them, "Let's post the last lucky word together. Everyone will be blessed in the coming year."

The word "Fu" was finally pasted together by three hands.

I eat early on New Year's Eve, but I have to eat dumplings before I can sleep.Xin Xin was drowsy at first, Chen Sang wanted to help him to sleep, and 27 went to make dumplings by himself.

Yi Xin nestled in his arms, half closed her eyes, and said softly: "I also want to make dumplings with you and live a whole year."

They have known each other for so long, but this is the first time they spend most of their lives celebrating the New Year together.

Chen Sang couldn't bear to say no.

27 holding fried meatballs and sugar cakes, happily watching the shadow puppet show invited from the village outside, and setting off fireworks.After all, he was still a child. He had been in the military camp since he was a child, and he had never even seen lively tricks.

But when making dumplings, he suddenly came back.

Xinxin asked him: "Have you finished playing the tricks outside? You'll be back so soon"

27 held the candy in his mouth, and said vaguely: "No, you are singing an opera. I saw that you were making dumplings, so I came back and made them together."

Although he watched the excitement, he jumped to the top of the house every once in a while to see the shadows of the two people inside. When he saw them making dumplings, he didn't want to watch any tricks and came back directly.

Xinxin took out a red envelope from under the pillow, rubbed 27's head, and said with a smile, "We 27 are so good."

27 stared blankly at the thing in Xin's hand, as if surprised, "This, what is this?"

Xin Xin explained: "It's a red envelope, it's for you to celebrate the new year."

27 glanced at the red envelope quickly, wanting to take it, but muttered, "I'm not a child anymore..."

Xinxin used to be very good at coaxing Qiao Yu, and now he is also very good at coaxing duplicity. 27 took a candy cake and stuffed it into his mouth.

He paused, and looked at 27 seriously, "Besides, even if you are 16 years old now, even if you are 61 years old, I will treat you like a child."

That is, he himself may not live to that time.

But he is living so well now, every moment is a dream, and this life is not in vain.

After eating the dumplings, it was already late at night, and Chen Sang also handed 27 a red envelope. After thinking for a long time, he finally said a word of teaching as an elder, "I don't know how long you can stay here, and I don't know you What kind of person you will be and what kind of things you will do in the future. Everything depends on your own thoughts. I only hope that you will live up to this life and don’t do things that you will regret in the future when you think about it.”

When he said this, he raised his head and looked at the sky. 27 always felt that what he said was very unfessional, even sad, and it did not fit today's happiness at all.

However, 27 still took the red envelope seriously with both hands, and solemnly agreed to this sentence.

Chen Sang arranged him in a small room and went back to the room by himself.

Yi Xin huddled under the blanket, now he is very afraid of the cold, even if the house is burned with charcoal fire, he is tightly wrapped, revealing a pair of black eyes, all falling on Chen Sang.

Chen Sang lifted the quilt, got in, held Xin Xin in his arms, stuffed a red envelope on his chest, bit his ear and said: "You, no matter how old you are, in my heart, you are still that pitiful one, The little friend who peeked at my sword practice."

Satisfied blushed.

Chen Sang didn't do anything else, he blew out the candles, and said softly, "Go to sleep, tomorrow is the first day of the new year, and there are a lot of things to do. There will be Lantern Festival in ten days, I will take you to see the lanterns."

Xin Xin closed her eyes.

He no longer has nightmares, and he is no longer afraid of anything. It is a rare peace after living for so many years.

Because no matter what, tomorrow will be better with this person by my side.
