Chapter 48 The Man and the Dragon

In fact, Lu Zhifei knew in his heart that his experience was indeed pitiful in the eyes of some people.But there are also many people who say that at least he still has money.

Loneliness or freedom are sometimes like two sides of a mirror.

But when talking about it tonight, Lu Zhifei felt that everything in the past seemed to be indifferent.

When everyone went back to their room to rest, he stood under the ginkgo tree, looked up at the empty space on the branch, and said, "In two days, the person who taught me to read will also come and introduce you. "

Lu Tingfang floated down from the tree, reached out and gently stroked Lu Zhifei's head, seeing that the little boy in the past was almost taller than him, and there were tears in his smiling eyes.

He gently hugged him into his arms, hugged him like he did countless times before when Lu Zhifei thought he was not around, and patted him on the back, "Okay, Dad is looking forward to it."

Time seems to slow down under the lingering flow of the small bridge, the years are silent, and the falling flowers are also silent.Lu Zhifei quietly felt the night breeze. Although he still couldn't see it, he understood a lot after growing up.

Dad, he must be by his side.

The next day, Nan Ying got up early, and walked in the yard wearing a thick coat and sunglasses.In recent years, his routine has become more and more like that of an old man. Except for a few nights when he suffers from insomnia, he always goes to bed early and wakes up early, and usually cannot fall asleep after five o'clock.

However, the air in Jiangnan is good, and the humidity in the air is very comfortable. After walking a few steps, Nanying ran into Lu Tingfang.The two looked at each other and smiled, and started walking together.

Lu Zhifei got up at seven o'clock, brushing his teeth and washing his face with two chubby guys who were sleeping in the dark and still moaning.When he passed the yard to the dining hall, he saw Nan Ying sitting at the stone table under the tree, turning his head and talking to the side.

Lu Zhifei walked over, "Brother Nanying, Dad."

Nanying turned her head, "Zhifei is here, I'm talking about Fourth Master with your father."

Lu Zhifei was suddenly a little nervous, glanced at the empty space by the table from the corner of his eye, then hurriedly looked away, "It's almost 07:30, let's go have breakfast."

After speaking, Lu Zhifei turned his head and left.His expression was as calm as usual, but Nan Ying felt that his ears were a little red.

"Zhifei, why are you shy?" Lu Tingfang looked at her son's back, still wondering.

Nan Ying took a sip of tea, "Well, it's better to wait for them to tell you. Also, just now you asked me what fourth master likes, and you want to thank him for teaching non-literacy. Fourth master likes to drink, as for one more thing , and wait for him to tell you himself."

Lu Tingfang still tilted her head in confusion, and told me personally?What will it be?

At the dinner table, while sipping porridge, Nanying said to Lu Zhifei, "I think your father is in good health, but the roots of the tree seem to be polluted, so it's not as good as before."

"Pollution?"

"It's a water quality problem. Today's vitality is not as good as before, and the water is no longer as clear as it used to be. However, spirits born on trees like your father have the most obvious reactions to changes in water quality. In this kind of matter , humans are actually more adaptable than monsters. But you don’t have to worry, just find some pure dew and sprinkle it on the tree roots.”

It's just that when Lu Zhifei explained that he went to collect dew earlier, Nan Ying shook his head and said, "Ordinary dew will not work, we have to ask others to borrow it."

borrow?Lu Zhifei was puzzled, and he didn't know what Nan Ying meant by "borrowing" until he saw countless birds flying from outside and stopping beside Nan Ying.

Peach blossoms bloomed from Nanying's fingertips, and the fresh and elegant fragrance spread in the courtyard, and was carried far away by the gentle wind.

The birds came here looking for fragrance. In their eyes, the human-shaped Nanying is more like a tree, a peach tree that can inhabit.

Nan Ying stretched out her fingertips to run along the feathers of a goldfinch on her arm, and asked gently, "Can you lend me some dew?"

Lu Zhifei could tell that what Nan Ying was asking was not the bird, but the little man sitting on the bird's back.Although Lu Zhifei couldn't see it, he could imagine it.

The little man seemed to answer something, Nanying smiled and said thank you, then turned her head, "Zhifei, can you lend me a jar?"

Lu Zhifei immediately went to the room and carried a jar out, "Is this okay?"

"Well, you can just put it on the table over there." Nanying said.

Soon, the birds came and went, went and came again.Little people sit barefoot on the back of the bird, holding a small bottle or bowl in their hands, and pour the dew in the bottle or bowl when the bird flies over the mouth of the altar.

And their reward is a peach blossom in Nanying.They plucked peach blossoms from Nanying's fingertips, then mischievously pinned them in their hair, or simply put them on their heads as hats, giggling and walking away.

Then Nan Ying put her hand into the half jar of dew accumulated and stirred it gently.When the dew seemed to be stained with peach fragrance, he picked up the jar and poured water on the roots of the ginkgo tree.

"Peach wood to ward off evil spirits, supplemented by pure water, this ginkgo tree will probably flourish again next year." Xiao Qiao stood beside Lu Zhifei and said.

Nanying also turned around, and gave Lu Zhifei a gentle smile, "However, the ginkgo has been exposed to dew, and your father will probably sleep for a day or two. It will be fine in a day or two."

"Thank you." With a warm heart, Lu Zhifei looked up at the huge ginkgo tree canopy, then at Wu Qiangqiang who was playing with the birds and Taibai Taihei who failed to climb the tree for the sixth time. Suddenly, he really missed Shang Si.

How good would it be if he was there?

What is he doing now?Did you have a good meal?

Lu Zhifei found out that after the waiting was over, he faced a new problem. Just like the song, missing is a disease.

It is a rare time to come to the water town, and Wu Qiangqiang wants to take his brothers and sisters to row for an adventure.She wanted to see if she could paddle to the Huangpu River from the small river in front of Lu Zhifei's house.

When Xiao Qiao heard the words "Huangpu River", she was very pleased and took Chongming aboard Wu Qiang Qiang's pirate ship.Taibai and Taihei jumped into the water happily, turning into two fat fish splashing around the side of the boat.

The boat is about to travel far, from the flowing water of Gusu to the Huangpu River.

Wu Qiangqiang enthusiastically invited the two onlookers on the shore to go with him, but they shook their heads, not very face-saving.

Wu Qiangqiang didn't mind, she was still full of enthusiasm, poked the oar on the beach rock and pushed hard, "Let's go!"

I have to say that Wu Qiang Qiang's rowing skills are good. The boat broke through the flowing water and sailed steadily along the river.After a while, I ran into an old sanitation worker who specialized in cleaning the river. He stood at the bow of the boat, looked at Wu Qiangqiang's boat curiously, and asked, "Oh, where are you going?"

"Huangpu River!" Wu Qiang Qiang replied.

The old man smiled so that the wrinkles on his face bloomed, "Okay, you young people have ambition. Remember to turn right when the end is ahead, don't make a mistake!"

"okay!"

The boat went far away, Nan Ying held back a smile and waved to Lu Zhifei, saying that he was a little tired, and went into the house.They happened to meet Uncle Wu on the way, so the two met again for a hand-to-hand conversation.

Lu Zhifei stood on the bank and watched for a while, seeing that there was nothing left and right, he moved a small stool and sat in front of the door, waiting for the Huangpu River expedition team to come back.

He still sat in the same position he used to do when he was a child, with two stone lions next to him, majestic and majestic.

Lu Zhifei likes to sit like this very much, looking at the people coming and going, sometimes he will draw there with a sketchbook, just like today.While drawing and painting, time slowly passed by. Lu Zhifei looked up again. The expedition team hadn't returned yet, but there were more pedestrians on the road.

From time to time, someone passed by the front of Lu's house, and Lu Zhifei looked at it, and then thought of Shang Si again.Looking down at the sketchbook, the person who has been drawing for a long time is not Shang Si?

There are so many people coming and going on the road, why did he just draw him?

Looking at Shang Si's handsome face in the notebook, Lu Zhifei was both happy and annoyed. He closed the notebook, but saw a pair of black leather shoes in his sight.

The shoes look a little familiar, and above that, the bare ankle looks a little familiar too.

Lu Zhifei raised his head in a daze, and saw Shang Si running out of his sketchbook and bending over to look at him.He was holding a stick of sugar in his hand, and on the bamboo stick was a soaring dragon.

dragon!

Lu Zhifei has never been transferred to the dragon!

Shang Si squatted down in front of him, looking at Lu Zhifei with burning eyes, "This great painter, I will give you a dragon, how about giving me a kiss?"

Lu Zhifei also stared at him... the sugar painting in his hand, his ears were reddish, but his tone was calm, "Give it to me first."

"No." Shang Si's bad temper came again, he leaned closer and blinked, "Kiss me first."

Shang Si used sugar paintings to impress her boyfriend, but Lu Zhifei had no choice but to retreat, "It's not convenient here."

"Are you talking about being in the house?" Shang Sibo is well-versed in the past and present, and his reading comprehension ability is very good.

"Yes." Lu Zhifei replied.

"What did you say?" Shang Si's eyes widened.

"En." Lu Zhifei responded generously, and stretched out his hand, "Give it to me."

Shang Si was suddenly alerted that Lu Zhifei actually gave in for a dragon!So he held up the sugar painting and asked seriously, "Which one is better, me or the dragon?"

Lu Zhifei was at a loss, but then thought that for Shang Si, dragons are real creatures.So, you can be jealous.

Lu Zhifei: "..."

Lu Zhifei suddenly felt a little cute for such a serious man who was jealous of Yilong.

"I choose..." Lu Zhifei deliberately slowed down his tone, but at this moment, a clear and clear child's voice suddenly came from the front, "Mom, that uncle has a dragon in his hand!"

Both Lu Zhifei and Shang Si looked over, and saw a little Zhengtai about five or six years old being led by his mother, with round eyes widened, staring at the sugar painting in Shang Si's hand.

The young mother smiled apologetically at Lu Zhifei and Shang Si, then held her son's little hand tightly and said, "Let's go, let's go home and have dinner."

"But I also want that dragon..." Xiao Zhengtai was full of longing, unable to move.

Shang Si looked at him, then at the sugar painting in his hand, and then turned to look at Lu Zhifei.

Lu Zhifei was very calm. He looked at Xiao Zhengtai and suddenly thought of himself when he was a child.

Then, he calmly took the dragon from Shang Si's hand, looked at Mrs. Xiao Zheng and said, "I can't give it to you."

Xiaozheng held her mouth shut, hugged her mother's thigh, and was about to cry.

Why do humans hurt each other.

Shang Si thought about this question for a while, and then felt that Lu Zhifei was so cute, so cute, so he raised his eyebrows and looked at Xiao Zhengtai with a proud face.A good man should support his boyfriend, "Yes, I won't give it to you."

Little Zhengtai hugged his mother's thigh, with tears in his eyes.

His mother squatted down helplessly, and asked him seriously: "Why should I give you something that belongs to someone else?"

"Pfft..." Shang Si finally couldn't help laughing out, triple crit.

Lu Zhifei gave him a tug to calm down, and said, "The grandfather who makes sugar paintings lives on the opposite street."

Xiao Zhengtai's eyes lit up, and the tears stopped instantly. His mother couldn't help but pressed him to apologize to Lu Zhifei, and then took his hand and left.

Xiao Zhengtai is in a good mood now, all the unhappiness is like a thunderstorm in summer, it will pass in a while.As he walked, he turned his head and waved at Lu Zhifei, but when he saw Shang Si, he pursed his mouth and stuck out his tongue at him to make a face.

Shang Si also provoked someone.

"He bullied me." He turned his head and complained to Lu Zhifei.

Lu Zhifei handed the sugar painting over, "Let me take a bite?"

So, Shang Si looked at the spot that Lu Zhifei had just licked, and took a big bite.At the end, the comment said: "Not bad."

Seeing Shang Si licking his lips, Lu Zhifei looked away unnaturally, and said, "Little Qiao, why haven't they come back?"

"Where did they go?"

"They say they want to row a boat to the Huangpu River."

Shang Si: "...are they out of their minds?"

"It's better than going to the East China Sea."

"It's better to let them go to the East China Sea, and let the lotus boy cram these two hundred and five tendons." Shang Si said in a bad voice.

However, having said that, Shang Si resigned himself to going out to arrest people.

It's almost dinner time, and these little bastards haven't come back yet, it's really itchy.

It's annoying to delay his meeting with his father-in-law.

The most important thing is that it is hateful to delay him from stealing fragrance.

Shang Si was thinking about capsizing their boat later and letting them stay in the Huangpu River forever.

The author has something to say: In fact, I can only be considered half a Suzhou native, because I am not in the city of Suzhou, but my life is roughly the same.

My family has several boats, and the waterways in the water town extend in all directions. When I was a child, I used to go by boat when visiting relatives. It was convenient and faster than taking the land route.When my grandparents were young, they often sailed to Shanghai from the river next to their home.

At that time, there were many ocean-going ships on the Huangpu River, and if they came in when they were approaching the shore, they must be avoided.Because the ship has a large tonnage and a deep draft, if you get close, you will be splashed with water.Once they took the little boy from the family diagonally opposite to my house to go together. The first time he saw a big ship, he was very excited and jumped on the bow of the ship, but he was drenched in water all over his head.

Cool through the heart, the heart is flying.

Wow, I cried on the spot.

Then, a dozen years later, he became a Marine.Hahaha.
