Dinon

Chapter 55

Every morning, I go out to work, and in the evening, accompanied by the sound of cattle and sheep, I step on the sunset and go home. Such a simple life lasted for two months, and before I knew it, it was Qixi Festival. Seeing it, Yuan Shu recalled this small village It has been more than four months.

"What is Chen'er doing?" Yuan Shuyi came out from the back room, took a dry cotton cloth and wiped her dripping hair, and asked curiously while wiping.

On the other side, Tuo Bachen, leaning on a crutch, moved out a somewhat old long table covered in sweat, put it in the middle of the courtyard, and ran to the kitchen to bring a basin of clean water, soaked the linen cloth, and carefully cleaned it. Wipe it off and make sure there is no trace of dirt before turning around and smiling at Yuan Shuyi, "Sister, is it done? Then I'll go wash it."

"What are you doing?" Yuan Shuyi blinked Danfeng's eyes, and paused when she wiped her hair with her hands, her blue eyes were full of doubts, "Why did you bring this out? I think it's weird of."

"En." Tuo Bachen wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, smiled at Yuan Shuyi, and responded.She put down the things in her hands and was about to run into the house on crutches. When she passed by Yuan Shuyi, she stuck out her tongue mischievously and said, "Sister, guess." ran into the house.

"You should slow down." Yuan Shuyi looked at her movements funny behind her, and shook her head, "I won't hit you, what are you doing running so fast, be careful not to fall." Turning his head to take a good look at the worn-out table that Tuo Bachen moved out, he wiped his hair and said to himself, "What is this for? I looked at it. What did you use for the sacrifice?" Unable to understand, Yuan Shuyi rubbed her forehead, looked at the darkened sky, and murmured rather dejectedly, "Liang Xuyu, you heartless woman, you are almost five years old. It’s been a month, I’ve been missing for such a long time, you still don’t come to me, it’s a big deal, I won’t speak ill of you to Uncle Huang, and I won’t run around casually in the future, you come to me instead!” Said When she reached the word "find", her voice suddenly increased, which really made people feel the taste of a bitter woman.

"Forget it! Liang Xuyu, you wait for me!" Yuan Shuyi said angrily as she threw the cotton cloth in her hand to the ground. Moon, gnashing her teeth, seemed to be able to sense her anger even in the flowers and plants in the nearby courtyard, "If you don't look for me now, there is no way you want me to go back in the future!"

At this moment, Liang Xuyu, who was far away in the grassland, rubbed her temples for no reason, looked at the cracked tortoise bones in her hands, and couldn't restrain the worry in her light blue eyes, "It's almost five months. Yi, where did you go? Even Luhe couldn't find you."

"Woo..." Hearing his name, Lu Heniao rubbed his head to Liang Xuyu aggrievedly, as if apologizing.

"Good boy, I don't blame you." Gently stroking its head, Liang Xuyu looked at the crackling candlelight next to the desk, and the faint yellow candlelight was also printed in his light blue eyes. Said, "It is said that when the candles burst, there will be happy events. I don't know how much of this sentence is true."

"High Priest, we have a visitor."

Liang Xuyu was leaning on the chair in front of the desk, thinking about something, when she heard the voice of her maid Jiaoer outside the tent, she paused while stroking the deer crane bird, her light blue eyes were dim and dim, The deer crane in his arms felt her abnormality, raised his head and opened his sea-like deep blue eyes, and put his head against her in confusion, "Huh?"

"Hey, you go out of the window first." Liang Xuyu softly coaxed Lu He in a low voice, looked at its reluctance and raised her eyebrows and threatened, "Otherwise, I will pluck your hair from Shu Yi in the future." I won’t help you, but let you run out naked and be bullied by the eagle.”

"Woooo..." Lu He yelled aggrieved twice after hearing the words, flapped his wings step by step, looked back at Liang Xuyu three times, and then reluctantly flew away from the window.

"Let him in." Seeing Lu He leave, Liang Xuyu put away the tortoise bones on the desk with peace of mind, and said to the outside of the tent.

Although she still has the same gentle tone, no one knows the heart that is about to freeze over her now.

The moon is extraordinarily bright tonight, like daytime but cool enough to make people want to take a deep breath.

Tuo Bachen took a shower, didn't even have time to dry his dripping hair, so he rushed to the back room and took out a bamboo basket full of fruits and vegetables and some incense candles, rushed to the dilapidated bar table, and was busy stand up.

"Why didn't you wipe your hair?" Yuan Shuyi, who was sitting on a deck chair enjoying the shade with a cattail fan, heard footsteps and turned around to see Tuo Bachen's clothes were wet with dripping hair. She frowned, looking very busy Tuo Bachen said, "Isn't it uncomfortable? My clothes are all wet. Why are you running around after taking a shower? Don't you sweat again?"

Even if he didn't have time to talk to her, Tuoba Chen, who still didn't forget to answer well, said obediently without raising his head, "My sister will find out after a while."

Yuan Shuyi's frown became tighter, she took the cattail fan and stood up slowly, walked to Tuo Bachen to fan her, and sighed, "Why are you like a child? Do whatever you think of, I didn't even discuss it with my sister."

Although I really want to say that Sister Yuan, you are more like a child than me, but Tuo Bachen is very busy now, and she has no time to argue with Yuan Shuyi, so she concentrates on her work again.

She packed the fruits she had picked from the small woods and washed long ago in the dishes she had prepared, put them on the table, took a small old incense burner, took out a handkerchief, wiped it clean, and lit it. Put a few sticks of incense in the middle of the bar, and finally take out a black box and put it next to the incense burner.Looking at his masterpiece, Tuoba Chen excitedly said, "Okay!"

"What is this?... Sacrifice?" Yuan Shuyi hesitated while holding the cattail fan and fanning the wind slowly.

"I know that Sister Yuan doesn't know!" Tuo Bachen proudly wrinkled his exquisite white nose, and smiled cheerfully at Yuan Shuyi, "This is called Qiqiao!"

Begging for a coincidence?Yuan Shuyi rolled her blue eyes, looked at the fruit and incense burner on the table suspiciously, pointed at them, and said, "Isn't it a sacrifice if all sacrifices are placed?"

"Sister Yuan, look at the sky, the stars are coming out, right?" Without answering her question, Tuo Bachen took Yuan Shuyi's hand and pointed to the twinkling stars on the dark sky.

"Yes." Yuan Shuyi smiled, looked up at the stars in the silent night sky, even under the shadow of the moonlight, and replied.

"That's right." Tuo Bachen also smiled, turned around and smiled at Yuan Shuyi's beautiful face, and said, "Because today is July [-]th, it's Qixi Festival."

"Yeah." Yuan Shuyi nodded, expressing that she knew it, and she had heard about the traditions of the Central Plains when she was in the grasslands, "This originated from the story that the granddaughter of the Emperor of Heaven and the cowherd in the world couldn't be together, right? I've heard that too."

"Yeah." Smiling and nodding, Tuo Bachen pulled Yuan Shuyi to look at the starry sky, "Look, that's Altair, and Vega over there. They will meet tonight." It's time." Tuo Bachen pointed out excitedly.

"It's all a trick to deceive children." Yuan Shuyi shrugged uncooperatively, looked at Tuoba Chen's eyes that had obviously dimmed after hearing these words, and smiled, "I didn't expect Chen'er to be so old at this age. Believe it."

"..." Tuobachen couldn't think of anything to refute her, so he had to say sullenly, "The folklore is like this, and I just listened to what my mother said. The girl's family will worship the Weaver Girl on this day, and the melon Put the fruit on the table, light incense, take another box, put a piece of cloth and a spider in it, and when you open the box the next day and see that the whole box is covered with cobwebs, it means that the Weaver Girl has come true. Give that girl a good weaving skill and a good...good husband." Tuo Bachen finished speaking with his head down, pinching the hem of his shirt with his hands, blushing.

"Sure enough, Chen'er has grown up." Yuan Shuyi was silent for a long time before touching her chin and said slowly, she looked at the black box on the table in the courtyard, and said hesitantly, "There... no Got a spider?"

"Yeah." Tuo Bachen slowly nodded unhappily after seeing Yuan Shuyi's reaction, saying that it was a coincidence, how could it be done without spiders?

"Hehe..." Yuan Shuyi twitched the corners of her mouth uncomfortably, and she dared not look at the box because of her wandering eyes. She patted Tuoba Chen's arm and said perfunctorily, "Chen'er is fine, um, I'm sure next year's embroidery workers will be better, well, I'm sure I'll find a good one."

"Oh..." The joy that had been prepared for a long time was suddenly diluted by Yuan Shuyi's words. Picking up the crutches leaning on the table, turned around and said to Yuan Shu, "Sister, continue to enjoy the shade, I'll go and change the wet clothes, it's really uncomfortable to wear."

"Well, let's go." Yuan Shuyi smiled and waved at her, "Remember to dry your hair too."

"Yeah." Tuobaji agreed sullenly, and walked slowly into the house on crutches. Judging by the speed, even the old people in old age were faster than her.

"What's the matter?" Yuan Shuyi looked at her sudden depression from behind her, wondering, "Could it be that I've always been tired from work recently? But I don't feel too tired?" Thinking, she Inadvertently, her eyes glanced at the black box on the bar table. Without thinking about it, she shuddered fiercely, and hurriedly ran to the rattan chair to lie down with her palm fan in her arms, not daring to look any further. "The folklore is really scary. Don't they think it's a sin to take a look at such disgusting creatures as spiders?" While talking to himself.She looked at the sky, her azure blue eyes shone with brilliance, just like the twinkling stars in the sky now, she slowly raised her slender white arms, and drew a big picture to the distant and close stars smiling face, "Are you right? Mother."
