The peasant boy of crossing

In fact, the thin Wu Su is very good-looking. The round baby fat has faded away, and the edges and corners of his face make him look almost like a mature youth. His greenness has faded, as if he is no longer a 15-year-old boy.

The round chin has long since disappeared, revealing the well-proportioned bone lines.His brows and eyes have grown, and the eyebrows that were sparse in his youth are now thick and sharp.

The pitch-black eyes were no longer as clear and clean as they were when they were young, but instead had an indescribable sense of melancholy.

Li Xinyi looked at Wu Su, and it was clearly a familiar face, but there was a lot of strangeness.

"A Su, why have you lost so much weight?" Li Xinyi asked unconsciously.

Wu Su didn't know how to answer.

In fact, if a person is not losing fat and weight, and it is effective, asking him how he lost weight is like asking a person how he gained weight. It is difficult to answer and may be offensive.

Li Xinyi quickly realized what she said, felt a little embarrassed, and tried to change the subject.

"I caught a cold a few days ago, and I was afraid that I would give it to others, so I didn't go out, and I didn't see anyone. I'm much better now."

After finishing speaking, Li Xinyi wanted to slap herself. Wu Su didn't say anything yet, but he added tricks.

He hurried back to make amends, "I mean..."

At this time, Wu Su said "um", and said, "I'll come..."

The two opened their mouths at the same time and closed their mouths at the same time.

There was something called "embarrassment" in the air.

Wu Suzheng wanted to say that he came here to see if Li Xinyi was well. He also brought some herbal medicines for clearing away heat and detoxification. Even if he is not sick, he can drink tea with water.

As if infected by Li Xinyi's embarrassment, Wu Su also felt a little uncomfortable, and did not say what was on his lips.

Li Xinyi coughed dryly, and took a painting from the back room, which was painted two days ago, "Cat Cub Playing Flowers".

"Last time you said you wanted my painting, so I made one." Li Xinyi unfolded the painting and showed it to Wu Su, "The painting is about our family's raccoon cat. The kitten is lively and loves to play. It is very cute. .”

He didn't look at Wu Su, and said, "I hope you like it."

It was the first time for Wu Su to experience the feeling of opening the gift and asking him if he liked it or not.He looked down at the painting, the painting was exquisite and the brushwork was meticulous.He turned to look at the painter, with a polite smile on his pale face.

As if his eyes were stung by something, he blinked quickly, and Li Xinyi still had that cold and distant smile.

From the moment he entered the door, Wu Su felt a little uncomfortable.Li Xinyi looked at him calmly.

He didn't take it seriously at first, but since he and Li Xinyi have known each other since they were seven years old, even though they haven't seen each other for a year, their relationship for so many years cannot be easily shaken by time and distance.

Li Xinyi can be angry with him, can be disappointed with him, can express pain to him, but the only thing is, it should not be polite.

Wu Su's joy from the moment he reunited with Li Xinyi was overwhelmed by the sudden indifference and alienation.

He didn't go to pick up the painting, instead he grabbed Li Xinyi's wrist, which may have been weakened by the illness, it was so thin that it could be broken with a light pinch.

Li Xinyi was taken aback, apparently she didn't expect Wu Su to be rude.He looked into the dark eyes that were close at hand, moved his wrist, but did not break free.

"What's wrong?" Li Xinyi tried to ignore the oppressive feeling brought by Wu Su's aura, and said, "Is there something wrong with the painting?"

"It's not a painting." Wu Su said, and at the same time let go of his hand. Li Xinyi's wrist was too thin, and he was afraid that he would not be able to control it for a while, so he really pinched his wrist.

"Xinyi." Wu Su said, "Why didn't you send me a message before you left? Even if you left in a hurry, you can write me a letter when you settle down, right? You can send so many letters to Wu Shen , but you can’t send me even one of them?”

Li Xinyi nana, he is like a person who can't find a place to hide things, silently begging others not to see them, or even if they see them, don't tell them.

However, Wu Su spoke so directly.

My face hurts a little.

In fact, there are many things that don't need to be asked so clearly.The world of adults is always reserved and obscure.Some things disappear when they should, especially friendships that have gone sour.

You take your Yangguan Road, I walk on the single-plank bridge by myself, and we separated like this, tacitly.

Li Xinyi thought so, but she still had to find an excuse.

"I heard from Erkor Angkor that you must be very busy preparing for the birth test. As soon as I send a letter, you have to reply. It will take a lot of time to go back and forth. If you fail to become a student, you will have the responsibility My share. After thinking about it, I have nothing to say anyway, so I won’t send the letter.”

Listening to Li Xinyi's nonsense, Wu Su sneered, "Are you planning to have a divorce with me?"

Li Xinyi said, "How can it be? You are going to take the scientific examination, and you will definitely become a master of Juren and a master of Jinshi in the future. I am a small painter, and it is too late to curry favor with you. How can I be born?"

Wu Su didn't reply, he was silently thinking about something.

Li Xinyi also felt that what she said just now was really yin and yang, but when she explained it, it became darker and darker.

"So you thought so." Wu Su finally said.

Li Xinyi couldn't explain it.Until now, his heart is still pounding, his hands are cold, and he is sweating, and the smile on his face can't hold back anymore.

This is a symptom of over-excitement, and he can't control himself for a while.

"In the bag." Wu Su pointed to the things he brought over, and said to Li Xinyi, "You can use it."

After finishing speaking, he put away the unfolded painting, put it in his arms, said goodbye to Li Xinyi, and walked out.

Li Xinyi looked blankly at the bag Wu Su left behind, which contained some medicinal materials, and was a little uncertain about Wu Su's attitude.

So, if there is no tacit understanding, don't engage in tacit understanding.

Li Xinyi was even more embarrassed.

The Shangyuan Festival is on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, but the lantern night is from the twelfth day of the first month to the fifteenth day of the first month, which is a total of three nights.

During these three nights, the streets will be decorated with lanterns and colorful lights, and the sound of gongs and drums will be loud.Men and women travel together, and laughter is everywhere.

It can be said that the Shangyuan Festival is much more joyful than the first day.There is no curfew and the lights can stay on all night long.

Seeing that Li Xinyi had been staying at home every day since he recovered from his illness, Li's mother worried that he would be bored.In the past few days, I have been persuading him to go out with others to see if there are any good-looking lights.

"Fireworks, dragon lanterns, horse lanterns, go and have a look, or buy them, or draw pictures, and show it to your mother, so that she can also have some joy."

Li Xinyi said: "What's the point of going alone, Aniang, go with me."

Li's mother said: "The streets are too crowded, and some people often squeeze out their shoes. I am an old bone, so I don't want to join in the fun."

Li Xinyi was in the room, and she could hear a lot of voices calling for friends and companions outside, and she wanted to go out for a while.He said: "Then I'm going to the street, A Niang is careful at home alone, I'll go and bring you a lamp."

Mother Li smiled and said, "You only have to be careful on the street, don't fall."

Li Xinyi blushed a little, feeling a little embarrassed, not only girls have flat throwing skills, boys may also have the same skills, but they just don't say it out.

Li Xinyi stayed in Chuzhou last January and did not come back. He also saw the prosperity of Chuzhou Lantern Festival.

He lived very close to the street market. At that time, the neighbor took his wife and two older children to the street.Leave two young children behind, please take care of Li Xinyi.

In fact, the owner of the house originally wanted to take the four children out together, but if he took the children out, he could only walk around outside, instead of squeezing into the busiest place with many people, for fear of losing the children.

He couldn't bear to see Li Xinyi looking alone, and originally wanted to persuade him to go to the street to watch the lantern festival together.

Li Xinyi left home not long ago, and when she was most homesick, she felt very unhappy.He didn't want to disturb other people's interest in visiting the Lantern Festival, so he offered to take care of their children for them.

The two older children have already begun to understand, and they definitely don't want to miss the Zhang Deng Ye, which only comes once a year.

Although the two young children were a little ignorant, they were dimly aware of what they were about to miss, with flat mouths and unhappy looks.

Li Xinyi looked interesting, but she was no longer so homesick.

After staying in this different time and space for too long, all the things from the previous life have not disappeared, but they have also faded a lot.He sometimes feels that he is a person in this time and space.

But whenever he has a rare sense of belonging, the reality will give him a slap in the face and tell him not to be whimsical.

On the last lantern night, Li Xinyi finally took to the streets.

The lights are very beautiful, "Dongfeng puts flowers and thousands of trees at night, and the stars fall like rain."

It seems that in a certain time and space, there is also such a street intersection, the lights are like day, and the traffic is busy.He is like a traveler who is lost and can't find his way back, waiting for someone who doesn't know when to show up and take him home.

He waited and waited, the lights were dimmed, and that person never appeared.

When he came back to his senses, his eyes became clear again, and the noise came through his eardrums again.Li Xinyi woke up.Of course he has parents, so how could he not have a home.The feeling of disappointment passed by in a flash, and it was the next night of lights in the blink of an eye.

Li Xinyi said she wanted to go out, so of course she really did.

In the previous Shangyuan Festival, Wu Su would watch the lanterns with his family, of course he tried his best to invite Li Xinyi to go out with them.

But Li Xinyi is not a real child, how could she ignorantly get involved in other people's family gatherings, and just excused that she had an appointment with other friends.

How can there be any other little friends? Mrs. Wu is holding the hand of her own grandson, how can he break free and go with Li Xinyi.

Li Xinyi didn't want to go to see the lantern alone, so she went to Grandpa Wu's house, hoping to go with Wu Shen.

The light was on in the room, Li Xinyi knocked on the door, but there was no response, she tried to push the door again, and the door opened.

Li Xinyi looked up, and it turned out that it was Grandma Wu who opened the door.He quickly explained his purpose.

"Grandma, is Angkor Angkor here? The lights are on these few nights, and I want to ask him to go to the street to watch the lights."

Grandma Wu saw Li Xinyi clearly, and said, "Ah Shen, he went out early, you have to be earlier, they went to the street before it was dark." She said she wanted to invite Li Xinyi to come in.

Li Xinyi refused, and said: "No, grandma, I'm afraid that there will be too many people on the street, and I won't be able to squeeze in."

Grandma Wu laughed loudly, and Li Xinyi asked, "I'm going to buy a lamp for Grandma, and bring one for Grandma?"

Grandma Wu didn't want such a thing, she said: "You should be careful when looking at the lamp, and pay attention to the candlelight."

After bidding farewell to Grandma Wu, Li Xinyi walked towards the town not far from Wutong Village.

The author has something to say: "The east wind puts flowers and thousands of trees at night, and blows them down, and the stars are like rain." ——Xin Qiji's "Sapphire Case·Yuanxi"
