drink moonlight alone

When the dog days of the island hit, the heat is at its peak. The countryside stretches to the top of the mountains and there is a large anvil-shaped cumulonimbus cloud, which is soft and fluffy, as if a heavy rain is brewing, but it is around the half-cloudy cloud shadow. It is a thousand miles of blue sky.At that time, the sun at three or four o'clock was not as fierce as at noon, but after it gradually set in the west, the sky was still bright.

Grandma's house is not far from the commercial street. For those who are not familiar with the street planning in the countryside, they will choose to take the avenue for safety reasons, but Zhou Qingyan and Zhou Weiyue will not.Going out from the back door, there is a corner path that runs through the back alleys of every household. If you go straight ahead, the path ends abruptly at a steep step. Looking down, you can clearly see the traces of people. cloud.

Bicycles can't go down the steps, so the two of them tacitly decided to walk together.After coming out of the house, Zhou Qingyan's expression has been languid, and he talked with him, and he seemed to be distracted. Zhou Weiyue either didn't understand, or she knew that she couldn't understand anymore, and she realized it later. I began to blame myself for being unrestrained in my heart.No one knows his elder brother better than him. Although Zhou Qingyan is soft-hearted, he is actually a boring gourd. Behind the gentle and obedient hides a steel and tough ruler, which depicts the depth of his thoughts.

It's very deep, and it never shows unless the emotions have bottomed out.

Unlike his own nature, which is suspicious, thoughtful and willing to calculate, and his flesh and blood are unbreakable and unbending, the ruler in Zhou Qingyan's heart is the backbone that supports his chest.

"Hey brother!" Seeing that Zhou Qingyan was almost in a trance and was about to step on the empty steps, Zhou Weiyue called out subconsciously, and with instinct better than reason, she took the lead and stretched out her hand to grab Zhou Qingyan, "Be careful! "

Zhou Qingyan was staggered by his pull, stepped back a few steps, and bumped into the warm and thick chest behind her with her shoulder blades on her back.The height difference between the two of them was not much different, so Zhou Qingyan even felt that her ear pinna touched Zhou Weiyue's lips, and it was hot and hot, and she didn't know whose temperature it was.He hurriedly took two steps forward, turned his head, and said to Zhou Weiyue apologetically, "I'm sorry, did I hurt you?"

Zhou Weiyue shook her head lightly and slowly: "I should say I'm sorry."

"Why?" Zhou Qingyan asked, "Obviously I walk by myself and don't look at the road. If you don't pull me, I will fall."

"It's all my fault that I told you things I shouldn't have said, which made you feel bad."

Zhou Qingyan hesitated for a while, and opened her mouth to defend herself, but what Zhou Weiyue said was not completely wrong, she was indeed out of interest because of grandma's affairs, so she pursed her lips and laughed, "You If I don’t say anything, if one day I find out it’s too late, it won’t be as simple as being in a bad mood.”

"I'm going to be mad at you."

"Then are you angry now?" I don't know if it was because of these words, Zhou Weiyue looked a little panicked, and hurriedly uttered this sentence next to the end of Zhou Qingyan's words.

When the cicadas began to shout one after another, Zhou Qingyan began to stare silently at Zhou Weiyue, staring straight into the deep and boundless eyes behind his lenses.The glasses seem to have cut off the hostility that he had when he was young. They were condensed into dark round beads, and then sealed with lenses, so that Zhou Weiyue, who treats people and things on weekdays, is a little indifferent. Zhou Qingyan thinks that he Finally, he found the missing flavor of Zhou Weiyue that he was familiar with—his willfulness, courage, innocence, and fearlessness.

Growth is probably like this, we meet, then part, each change; you are no longer like you before, and I am no longer like me before.But when the pointer of time went around and met again, we tried to dig out from each other the familiar Qingzhi and Manli.

"elder brother?"

Maybe it was because he stared at it for too long, his back was sweating under the sunlight, and he was sticking to his shirt wetly, Zhou Qingyan finally looked away, laughed noncommittally, stretched out his thumb and index finger to compare Make a scale, "A little bit."

"Just a little angry," he added.

Although the island is remote, there are many shops in the commercial street. There should be a lot of them. People come and go. As soon as you step into the boundary, you can smell the aroma from a breakfast stall selling steamed buns on the corner of the street. The fruit shop is next to it.When Zhou Qingyan and Zhou Weiyue arrived, there was a woman standing in front of the stall with her arms full of plastic bags, most likely containing fruits and vegetables, and two green onions were exposed at the edge of one of the plastic bags, the weight of which was visible Not lightly, her arms turned red.

Not far away, the two listened to her finish the price without panting, and left the boss speechless. They could only give up two oranges and turned away triumphantly.

"Boss." Zhou Weiyue walked over Zhou Qingyan to the fruit shop, and greeted the boss, "Good evening."

The owner of the fruit shop is an elderly man, about fifty or sixty years old, his hair is cut short but neat, but his lips are full of green and unshaven beards. His image is contradictory, just like his body. He was wearing a loose and plain cotton T-shirt, and a ripped apron around his neck, and he was wearing trendy Li-Ning Gaobang canvas shoes.

This is completely different from Zhou Qingyan's memory. The fruit shop in the past was run by a young couple. wedding anniversary.But now the couple have disappeared, will they come back?Where did you go?He has no way of knowing.

The boss wiped his hands and turned around. Seeing Zhou Weiyue, he shouted "Yo" in surprise: "Isn't this Xiao Zhou? Long time no see. When was the last time we saw each other?"

"During last summer vacation."

"That's right, that's right," the boss nodded and repeated, "It's been a year since last summer vacation, and I've heard your grandma talk about you a lot."

Zhou Weiyue said with a polite smile: "Yes."

While speaking, the sharp-eyed boss caught a glimpse of Zhou Qingyan, who had been standing silently behind Zhou Weiyue, and squinted his eyes in doubt, as if trying to see the appearance of the visitor.After a while, the boss stared at Zhou Weiyue suddenly, he hesitated, pointed at Zhou Qingyan, then pointed back at Zhou Weiyue and said, "He, you...Xiao Zhou, isn't this your brother?"

"Boss, long time no see." Zhou Qingyan nodded shyly at the boss and said.

"Ouch!" The boss ran out from the small door of the shop exaggeratedly and familiarly, grabbed Zhou Qingyan's arm, and looked up and down, "Are you so big? You haven't been back for a long time, right? The last time I saw you you were..."

The boss stretched out his hand from his waist to his chest, swiped it, and clicked his tongue: "It's only as high as my chest?"

"It's been 12 years." Zhou Qingyan was caught off guard by the boss's self-indulgent enthusiasm, and pushed away because of the sympathy, quietly squinted at Zhou Weiyue, hoping that he could receive the radio wave of her call for help.It is true that there are no close friends like siblings. The second Zhou Weiyue cast Zhou Qingyan's peripheral vision, she took a step back without a trace, turned sideways, and blocked half of Zhou Qingyan's body. You can't just push Zhou Weiyue away to catch Zhou Qingyan.

The boss also realized his untimely enthusiasm, smiled embarrassingly, turned back to the shop to greet them and said, "Hey, what do you want to buy? Come! Uncle will pick the sweetest one for you!"

"Hey, there have been a lot of big and small things happening in Yuan Island in the past few years. Something happened to the two neighbors of Grandma Zhou's house, but Xiao Zhou, you don't know about it when you are abroad, right?" The boss bent his waist Whispering something in a low voice, most of the short neighborly gossips among parents, Zhou Qingyan couldn't hear clearly, but only this sentence, like thunder piercing the ears, was close to the body.

When Zhou Qingyan raised his eyelids and looked at Zhou Weiyue in puzzlement, due to a tacit understanding, the eyes of the two were glued together in the sticky air of Yunxia.
