In April, the flowers bloom just right.

The pagoda tree, which used to be full of branches and leaves at the entrance of the village, also seemed to have fallen snow, and clusters of pink and white were mixed with clusters of green in different shades.Looking closely, the blossoming pagoda tree flowers are like a string of bells, hanging between the branches, with a charming naive look, as if they would ring when the wind blows. I didn't hear the sound of ding-dong, I was really going to be deceived like this.

In the house at the entrance of the village, Xiao Xian put on the new robe that Li Cong brought back for him yesterday, tidied his hair, washed his face, carefully picked up a small wine jar on the table, locked the door, and held the key out of the house.

As soon as I crossed the threshold, I felt warm all over my body.The scorching sun was on his head, and his eyes were almost dazzled.Xiao Xian paused, looked around, and saw from a distance that the person he was looking for was standing under the locust tree at the entrance of the village, with his head slightly raised, as if he was admiring the flowers of that tree.The flowers were extremely gorgeous, and there was a smile on the lips of the man, warming the soul for no reason, as if he had never seen such a warm spring scene for a long, long time, he washed away his austerity, immersed himself in it, and lingered.

Xiao Xian was stunned for a while, and he didn't know what it was like, but he stepped up his steps and ran towards that person with a rattling sound.

"It's all packed?" Li Cong turned his head when he heard the sound, and took the wine jar from Xiao Xian's arms while asking.

Xiao Xian stopped walking, tugged at his new water-colored coat uncomfortably, nodded, and was about to follow him when the person in front of him turned around and stretched out his arms to pick off a Sophora japonica flower.

Xiao Xian was puzzled, but when he came back to his senses, he saw Li Cong's finger holding the flower straight towards him, almost touching the corner of his pursed lips.Xiao Xian was taken aback by this sudden movement, and couldn't dodge and took several steps back in a row. In addition, the distance between the two of them was already far, so they could keep up with the posture of running away.

The raised arms shrank, Li Cong frowned, his expression darkened, then he raised his head and smiled again, and said, "You can eat it, it's sweet."

Xiao Xian saw clearly what Li Cong was holding in his hands, and remembered that not long ago Li Cong said that he would make Sophora japonica cakes for him when the Sophora japonica flowers bloomed. Knowing that he had misunderstood, he opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say. , had no choice but to take a few steps forward, hesitantly took the half-opened flower in Li Cong's hand and stuffed it into his mouth.

Watching the tender petals gradually disappear between the white teeth, and her crimson lips curled up slightly as if she had tasted the sweetness of the Sophora japonica flower, Li Cong felt a little depressed.I only know that girls' minds are difficult to guess, but they don't know that the same is true for the child in front of them.It always felt like he was a different person when he came back from Zhao Ruqiu's place. The two of them lived together.I was in the house just now, I bought new clothes and asked him to tidy up and go to meet people, seeing him clutching his inner coat and outer robe, he was hesitant to speak, so he had to go out of the house under the pretext of having something to do, otherwise he would not know When will I be stiff.Xu Shi really scared him that night, but when he wanted to explain something, he didn't know where to start.

Li Cong pursed his lips, glanced at Xiao Xian who was dazedly tasting the flowers, and said, "Let's go."

Xiao Xian swallowed the petals, nodded: "Yeah."

So one hugged the wine jar without saying a word, and the other followed step by step, wandering towards the mountain.

This is Xiao Xian's second time entering the mountain.It was more than three months since Li Cong rescued him from the river.Almost all the decoctions have been going through the winter without stopping, as if waking up from a long dream, with eyes closed and opened, it is late spring and early summer outside.The midday sun was not so hot, but it was a little hot.The vegetation in the forest is lush and the shade is dense, and it is cooler than outside.

After climbing for a while, before reaching the mountainside, Xiao Xian wiped the sweat that was about to drip from his forehead, and looked at the figure who was neither near nor far in front of him, a little lost in thought.

The sweet and sweet lingering fragrance of Sophora japonica flowers still lingers on the tip of the tongue, just like this man's kindness to him, neither strong nor strong, but real.I can't help but think of the situation of discussing in the house a few days ago.

It's been a long time since I had a proper conversation, even Xiao Xian doesn't remember it.It's rare for him to start by himself, the man seems very happy, which somewhat relieved Xiao Xian's uneasiness in his heart.When he talked about starting a comb business, he frowned.However, Xiao Xian is not such a person who retreats easily, he will listen to the wrong ideas, but if it is really feasible, he will do it with all his heart.Since there was no one to discuss with, he immediately told Li Cong what he had been thinking about for several days.

Li Cong didn't want to listen to Xiao Xian wanting to fiddle with this and that.His health is not good, so he just needs to stay at home, why bother to find something to worry about, it's not that he can't support him.But seeing him rarely open his mouth before, he was overjoyed, and his attitude had already softened by half.He also heard that he was a boy after all, but he just wanted to learn a craft, and those business stories were so convincing, the elder brother really couldn't find any reason not to agree with him.It's just that he doesn't know why he wants to learn this carpentry. It's not that he doesn't know Donglang's situation, but after thinking about it, he just asks him to find a carpenter master to learn for two days. If you want to make some kind of comb to subsidize the family, let him go back to the spring hall and let Ruqiu help sell it, and nothing will happen.

Although Li Congming thought so on the surface, he had some unspeakable selfishness in his heart.It would be best for Xiao Xian'an to stay at home with peace of mind.Xiao Xian asked him to help find a master who knew carpentry, and he found him, and he was still a master who is unparalleled in the whole country. Now probably not much worse.As for whether Xiao Xian's appearance can catch the old man's eyes, it all depends on his ability, who let him only know the stubborn old man as a carpenter, if he accidentally angered him, he would not accept apprentices... It's no wonder he.

Seeing Li Cong's pensive look, Xiao Xian felt a little helpless.It would be a mistake to protect him too much... I really don't know what to do.At the beginning, I wondered how a person could be good without any flaws, but now it seems that some modern people call him male chauvinism, and he really thinks he is being raised by a woman. It was not until I reiterated it several times that I realized that a boy is a man. Should have an independent look.Xiao Xian was somewhat depressed, and as for the idea of ​​gradually expanding the business in the future, he didn't mention it to him.Although the process was a bit tortuous, at least he agreed to help him find his master, and let's take his time for the rest.

Not wanting to take his time, Li Cong found a master for him so quickly. He said he was good at carpentry, but he lived in the mountains, and the mountain roads were difficult to walk. He was afraid that Xiao Xian would not find a place, so he waited again. A few days later, when Li Cong was on vacation, he took him up the mountain to find someone.

"Be careful." A warning interrupted Xiao Xian's thinking, Xiao Xian came back to his senses, looked down and saw a big rock under his feet, blocking his way.

Such a large rock may have been left by a mountain torrent, and the mountain road is so narrow that it cannot be detoured.And when Xiao Xian raised his head, a familiar palm was stretched out in front of him.Li Cong turned around, put down the wine jar, bent slightly, and said, "Come."

Xiao Xian moved his arm, and seemed to be concerned about something, and froze.He knew those hands were gentle, strong, and warm.As for him, he clearly wanted to get closer, but another voice sounded in his mind warning him not to do so.It was only when he came back to his senses that he had already climbed onto the man's hand one step ahead.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Xian's whole body leaned over. Li Cong felt his right arm sink, and quickly pulled him into his arms with some force, then hugged him to the mountain road, helped him stand firmly, and then let him go immediately, as if he was also Avoiding something, like the hand that was still wrapped in the last moment, suddenly tightened, and finally let go reluctantly.

Seeing Li Cong silently picking up the wine jar on the ground and continuing on his way, Xiao Xian scratched his head and put his slightly hot palm behind his back.

The mountain road gradually deepened, Xiao Xian got a little tired from climbing, and complained in his heart that he didn't know what kind of expert insisted on living in the deep mountains and old forests. Thinking this way, he saw a wooden house in front of him, faintly hidden among the greenery, and finally arrived .

The house is very ordinary, even looks a bit dilapidated, not at all what Xiao Xian imagined, with chrysanthemums planted in the front yard and cranes in the back yard, it looks like a hermit lives there.

Li Cong stopped in front of the half-covered wooden door, and said to Xiao Xian, "I'll go in first and tell you, you wait outside."

Xiao Xian nodded, and saw Li Cong knock on the door, the person inside muttered something, then pushed the door open and entered, then closed the wooden door tightly.

Xiao Xian waited outside for quite a long time, and the voice of conversation came from inside from time to time, accompanied by the sound of knocking, and he couldn't hear what he said.Xiao Xian recalled Li Cong's description of the old master surnamed Chen, feeling uncertain, kicking small stones on the ground again and again.

After about half a quarter, Li Cong pushed the door out, Xiao Xian recovered his spirits, raised his head, stared at Li Cong and waited for his order.Li Cong nodded to reassure him, and said, "Old Chen has a weird temper, so don't be too surprised no matter what you see when you go in later, you know?"

After Li Cong finished explaining, he patted Xiao Xian on the shoulder, then stepped back and left the rest to Xiao Xian.Xiao Xian nodded dully, stared blankly at the wooden door, suddenly a little scared.

Suddenly I remembered the rainy day when I was recuperating in Huichuntang.When I received the ten cents in exchange for two combs, although I was about to cry, I was full of ambition and determined to win.At that time, all I could think about was the person beside me.How to make money, how to make a lot of money, how to make this person's life better, and stop him from suffering... Xiao Xian asked himself, growing up so much, he really hadn't thought about another person so seriously.But fate just made a small but indelible joke for him.This man doesn't need himself at all.He wanted to lie to himself that nothing had changed, but the wish in his heart was no longer what it was before.

So he was a little scared.

He has encountered so many things since he was a child, and he always thinks that the worst is just like that, it will not get worse, and it will only get better and better in the future, right?It is precisely because of this kind of thinking that a person can walk firmly.But after arriving here, let him understand that only you can't predict, nothing can't happen.

But now, what is waiting for him behind this completely unknown door that is unfolding in front of him?Did it go smoothly as he thought, or was it another disappointment?Was his choice right or wrong?

But after going around and going around, he finally took this step.

Xiao Xian hesitated, and suddenly looked back in a strange way.The person behind him stared at him with calm eyebrows and slightly curved lips.That smile seemed to have never changed from the beginning to the present.

Xiao Xian smiled, then took a few steps forward, raised his hand and pushed open the dilapidated wooden door.
