The honest businessman and his little wife

On this day, before dawn, Zhang Fugui got up and went to the bird tea shop in the past.

Chen Shien opened the carved red lacquered door of the tea shop in the morning. In the soft morning sun, there was a burly man holding a lychee in his hand, and a rattan chair beside him.He sat there, facing the Jiuyi River at the gate of the courtyard, in a daze.A fragment from the depths of his memory broke into his mind, and the person in his memory was also holding candied haws on such a beautiful morning, laughing and looking at him.

"You're up..." Zhang Fugui hesitantly handed over the lychee, "This is the lychee."

Seeing him dumbfounded, Chen Shien thought it was funny, reached out to take the lychee, and jokingly said: "Boss Zhang came so early, did he come here to give away this lychee...or this chair."

Zhang Fugui was eager to explain, but seeing his round eyes full of smiles, he knew he was teasing him, so he murmured: "Shien, what's wrong with you, you keep teasing me now, Father Hu They also said that you are silent and dull... You were gentle and well-behaved before, so refined and refined."

"Oh, I'm teasing you now, so I'm not polite? Besides, I want to be friends with you, so friends should be more casual and comfortable." Chen Shi'en saw him clearly, and rolled his eyes around , and said: "Don't Boss Zhang treat me as a friend?"

"No, no, no... I... I regard you as my best friend... You tease me because you are getting close to me, I..." The honest businessman was anxious to defend, his mouth trembling, and he found the green cloth clothes The man couldn't hold back his laughter, his dimples came out slowly, and he knew that he was teased by this man again, and his face turned hot red.

During lunch, Zhang Fugui went into the kitchen, washed everything, and prepared to cook for him.Chen Shi'en took a rattan chair and sat at the door of the kitchen, pinching the white flesh of the lychee with Bai Yu's fingers, squinting and eating.

The pomegranate flowers in the yard had already died, and a few birds were sitting on them, chirping.He moved his buttocks and asked loudly to the kitchen: "Honestly, why do you want to bring me a chair? Do I have a lot of chairs here?"

Zhang Fugui had never heard Chen Shien speak so loudly, and heard the unstoppable banter in his words, his face flushed, he leaned out from the kitchen, and said to him: "Didn't you say that the chair was too hard and uncomfortable last time?" what?"

Chen Shi'en saw that he was looking at him without blinking, and his face was inexplicably hot, and he couldn't remember when he said that the chair was hard, so he just nodded, indicating that he understood.

After lunch, people began to gather in the tea shop, and today's story began.

"By the way, there is a bird full of spirituality on our Jiuyi Mountain." Chen Shien held a fan and knocked on the edge of the table, looking at the misty Jiuyi Mountain outside the window.

"Yeah, I know, that's a fairy. My grandpa said that the fairy will protect the people in our town."

"My grandfather also said that he had seen that fairy."

"Yeah, don't interrupt me... shopkeeper Chen, where is this fairy coming from?"

All the guests present felt a sense of pride when they heard that they were the gods of Jiuyi Mountain.

Chen Shien looked at the men and women, their faces were red, and they stared at Chen Shien with open eyes seeking knowledge.

Zhang Fugui also sat in the guest table, occasionally adding some water for the guests.He raised his head to look at Chen Shi'en, as if he was worshiping a god, he just glanced at him, his heart felt strangely warm, his heart and eyes were full of joy, the corners of his mouth were sour, and he refused to stop laughing.

"That bird, although full of spirituality, is not a god."

There was a gasp in the crowd, and they were extremely puzzled. They wanted to ask but didn't want to interrupt Chen Shien's story, so they had to be patient.

"This story is really like the books that women read. Although it is not a story about a gifted man and a beautiful woman, it is quite embarrassing..." Chen Shien took a sip of tea, wiped his fingers on the rough porcelain teacup, and looked at it again He spoke slowly while looking out the window.The tone is cool and shallow, low as if sighing.

"This bird is a magpie. It has no name and no surname. It has lived alone in Jiuyi Mountain for thousands of years. It has been accompanied by mountains, flowers, rivers and fish all day long. It has no desires and desires. It only wants to cultivate to become a fairy... One day, a young man broke into the bird. On Nine Yi Mountain, he was covered in blood, and he only looked at the magpie that appeared in front of him with soft eyes... The magpie had never left Nine Yi Mountain, and had never been in contact with human beings. , It was very beautiful, so I searched all over the mountain for wound medicine, and healed the boy's injury... When the boy woke up, he found a bird on his chest with its eyes open, looking at him, he patted the bird's head with a grin, and croaked. He said so many words. The magpie has never been exposed to human language, so he doesn't know what this man is talking about, so he just pecked and nodded."

"What happened later? Did the magpie turn into a human being and become a fairy couple with this young man?" The guests teased and urged him to see him staring out the window and not talking.

"The magpie, who was unwilling to be lonely, fell in love with listening to the boy's deep voice, and later wanted to understand why the boy always had a sad look on his face. After a long time, the magpie felt that he understood what the boy said...but at this time , the boy's injury has healed, he wants to leave, to do important things, to protect those who need protection... But, how can the magpie be willing to do so?"

"After thinking about it, it bid farewell to the mountain flowers and river fish in Jiuyi Mountain. After the boy left, it chattered all the way, very happy, and nestled on the boy's chest at night..."

"What happened later? Did it turn into a human?" The girl couldn't help but ask with a blushing face.

"It... didn't become a human being, it just existed like a pet. It lived with the boy in the mansion, watching the boy's growth, watching his joys, sorrows and joys. It wanted to become a person and could accompany him. A young person, not a bird that can understand his words."

Chen Shien supported the rattan chair, shook his shoulders slightly, and continued: "The young man is an upright general and a dedicated brother. He went to the battlefield...in one fell swoop, he wiped out the foreign enemies who invaded, and found the best girl in the world for my sister. His husband also married a very virtuous little wife, and later he had several children. He made great military exploits and was deeply loved by the people, and there was an endless stream of people who worshiped him after his death."

"What about the magpie?"

"Magpie, it has a special feeling for being with the boy every day, but it is just a bird, what can it do? It is already very happy to be with the boy. After the boy died, it left After leaving the mansion, I went back to Jiuyi Mountain and concentrated on cultivating, waiting to become a god."

His tone was light, and he nodded slightly after speaking, as if he agreed with the ending of the story.After drinking the last sip of tea, he got up and left.

As expected, Chen Shien still set up a table in the courtyard that night, and drank until he passed out.

After Zhang Fugui put him on the bed, he sat by the bed and stared blankly at him.

The moon shot through the window and shot into the whole room. He looked at him on the bed, with slender eyebrows, small mouth and nose, and his hand stretched out towards him unconsciously, without touching his face and slender from the air. Describe his eyebrows and eyes in detail.

In a daze, Zhang Fugui leaned against the bed and fell asleep.In his sleep, he heard the voice of someone crying bitterly, one person, two people, three people, one sound, one sentence.Low and fluttering gently, slowly merged into a sob that cannot be ignored.

They are saying: 100 years, why don't you come back?Why are you still not coming back?

Who, who?Who is crying?Who is suing?Who is 100 years old and still caressing?

Zhang Fugui came to an extremely exquisite and beautiful garden in a haze, and he saw a big lotus pond.There are lots of lotus flowers. There is a huge osmanthus tree beside the lotus pond. The branches and leaves are scattered and full of vitality. There is a swing tied to the trunk, and a little doll is sitting on the swing. Red and purple, eyes filled with tears.

He walked towards the doll, squatting on the ground, trying to wipe away the doll's tears, but the tentacles passed through the doll, he screamed anxiously, but the doll couldn't see him at all.

There were steady footsteps in the distance, and he looked up.In the corridor behind the lotus pond came a man dressed in green cloth, eight feet tall, with extraordinary appearance, personable and refined.He hurriedly asked the man, but the man passed through his body, picked up the baby, wiped the baby's tears, touched the baby's forehead, and sat on the swing without saying a word. .

The sweet-scented osmanthus trees rustled, and the garden was quiet. The gentle environment calmed Zhang Fugui's impatience, and he just quietly looked at the man and the baby in front of him.

Suddenly, he found a magpie standing on the man's shoulder. The magpie squinted its eyes and seemed to be dozing off. Its red and green fur was similar to the one he had seen in Jiuyi Mountain when he was young.

The sun moved westward, and the baby was still crying, crying silently.The man didn't have a clue, he just said slightly: "One word, how long are you going to cry? You are almost a girl who is going to marry, and you still cry."

get married?this doll?He looked only six or seven years old.

After listening to his words, the baby not only didn't stop crying, but shed more tears.

"Does the forehead hurt..." The man gently groped the doll's forehead with his fingers, his eyes full of pity.

"No, no one will dare to bully us in the future."

The doll opened her eyes wide and stared at the man. The man covered the doll's eyes with a soft and hoarse voice: "I, I want to marry us to her favorite man, all jade, gold nuggets, pearls and gravel. Here you go, what do you think?"

The doll kicked the man, pulled his sleeve, pulled his hand away from his eyes, blushed slowly, pointed to the sky, and pouted at the man, looking very cute.

The man smiled, warm and moist, and the magpie on his shoulder crawled around. "You said you want the stars in the sky? Then wait for my brother to pick them off for you."

The baby finally stopped crying, pointed to the ground again, pouted, and looked at the man.

The man stepped on the ground, and the swing began to swing. The doll hugged the man and pushed his chin with its head.The wind was blowing gently, and the magpie jumped onto the tree at some point, and the leaves rustled, seemingly very happy and satisfied.

He said loudly: "We just want the pearls in the bottom of the sea, and my brother will get them for you."

The swing stopped, and the doll jumped out from the arms of the man in green cloth, stood under the tree, compared heights, and looked at the man with a mournful face.

The man frowned, the sadness in his eyes flashed, he touched her head, Chunfeng's voice: "Brother will definitely find the person who took your soul, and then heal your voice...Mr. Qi I also said, as long as you find that person and get back your soul. We Yizi are great beauties."
