Peerless luthier

In Yundi, I walked around with Zou Ru, some places have changed, but some places are still the same.

Although it was summer, the sun was shining brightly, but there was not much heat. After walking around in the afternoon, Zhong Yi went back by herself. Just as she reached the door, she heard a familiar voice coming from behind.

"Brother Xiaoyi?"

?

Zhong Yi looked back and saw that it was Bai Jinyu.

She was wearing a water-green long dress, with exquisite fuchsia patterns embroidered on the cuffs, her black hair was gently pulled up, and the bun was dotted with small white flowers, and the small flowers had thin short tassels hanging down. With a playful smile, a pair of moist eyes are full of smiles.

Zhong Yi admitted that when she thought about it many years later, Bai Jinyu's appearance at that time was indeed extremely beautiful.

Seeing Zhong Yi staring blankly at her, Bai Jinyu giggled, "Brother Xiao Yi, you're back to your senses."

Zhong Yi blushed instantly and stammered, "You...why are you here?"

Bai Jinyu pretended to be angry: "Hmph, didn't I tell you that I would come to Yundi in summer? You still said you came to see me!" She stared at Zhong Yi, and said coquettishly: "I heard that the servant said that I saw You have come to Yundi, and I am complacent and think you are coming to see me?"

Zhong Yi was a little embarrassed, so she had to say, "I'm here to visit my hometown and Uncle Zou with my parents...Of course, I can also visit you."

Bai Jinyu looked surprised: "Ah, is Yundi your hometown?"

Zhong Yi shook her head: "It's my father's hometown, and my mother is from Hecheng."

Bai Jinyu was thoughtful: "Then what about your brother?"

Zhong Yi said: "My elder brother was brought back by my mother when I was ten years old."

Bai Jinyu silently wrote it down in her heart.

Immediately, she raised a charming smile: "Since brother Xiaoyi is here, why don't you go to my pawn shop?"

Zhong Yi nodded: "Okay, but I have to leave a letter and let my parents know."

After speaking, he entered the room and picked up a pen to write.

Huatian came out from the shade of the yard, meowed a few times, and looked at Bai Jinyu.

Bai Jinyu squatted down with a smile, stroked the flower field, and whispered softly: "Hua Mao Mao, you are here too."

Huatian chatted with Bai Jinyu.

When the two went out, they naturally took Huatian with them.

Along the way, Huatian showed unprecedented enthusiasm for the small fried fish, sugar figurines, sesame seed cakes and other snacks sold by the vendors.

Zhong Yi was curious, since he had fed it at noon, why did he look like he had been hungry for two or three days?

The answer to the mystery was soon revealed. It turned out that Hanada cleverly took advantage of the girl's love.

Huatian yelled twice, acted coquettishly, rubbed against each other, Bai Jinyu's heart softened, Zhong Yi had no choice but to buy it.When the little fried fish was fed to his mouth, Huatian ate it with Bai Jinyu's hand, and the cat flicked its tail - implying that the cat was happy inside.

Bai Jinyu enjoyed it, she smiled and said, "The cat is so cute."

Hua Tian, ​​who was eating the small biscuits, let out an indistinct "meow".

Finally, when Huatian was satisfied and stopped tossing, the two and the cat walked together.

Estimating the time for half a stick of incense, I heard Bai Jin say: "It's here."

Zhong Yi looked to the right side of the main street, and there was a large plaque "Baijia Pawnshop" between a row of shops.

Zhong Yi walked in following Bai Jinyu and exclaimed, "The store is not small."

The ground is all smooth wooden boards, the storefront is spacious, and it is located on the main street, and there are many people coming and going.

There was a shopkeeper and four young men inside, and when they saw Bai Jinyu coming, they all greeted him respectfully.

Bai Jinyu smiled and said, "Not bad."

Zhong Yi nodded: "It's amazing."

Bai Jinyu whispered in his ear, "A few days ago I quietly bought a small restaurant, do you want to see it?"

The hot air was tickling, Zhong Yi blushed again, and he nodded quickly: "Okay...Okay."

Bai Jinyu smiled quietly: Brother Xiaoyi's skin is really thin.

Zhong Yi's skin is fair, her eyelashes are long, and her eyes are clear. When she blushes, she will feel a little overwhelmed. That look is very interesting to Bai Jinyu.

The small restaurant that Bai Jinyu bought is located in the center of Yundi. It is divided into two floors. It is currently being renovated. People who come in and out are very busy, and many passers-by are curious about this restaurant.

Zhong Yi sighed: "If it is well decorated, it must be very grand."

Bai Jinyu proudly said: "It's natural, I personally ordered the appearance, and the materials are the best."

The two pointed and pointed, and when they walked back, they found that the setting sun was already hanging on the side of the mountain, emitting a red afterglow quietly.

Bai Jin said: "It's so fast, the sun is already setting." She looked at Zhong Yi: "Brother Xiao Yi, let's go to the lotus pond tomorrow, shall we?"

Zhong Yi said: "Don't you need to run a pawn shop?"

Bai Jinyu shook her head: "There are people in charge of the pawnshop, and the restaurant is under renovation, so I'm idle now."

Zhong Yi smiled: "Okay, tomorrow afternoon?"

Bai Jin said: "Tomorrow afternoon, I will wait for you at the pawn shop."

Zhong Yi nodded, said goodbye to Bai Jinyu, picked up the flower field and walked back.

Bai Jinyu watched Zhong Yi's figure walk away slowly, the sunset light shone on him, coating him with bright red edges.

When I got home, my parents and Uncle Zou were all back.

As the smoke rose, Uncle Zou picked him up at the door: "Hey, Xiaoyi, where did you go to play, and you just came back now?"

Zhong Yi put down the flower field, and replied: "I met a friend from Andu, and I will go out to play tomorrow."

Zou Ru said: "Alright, play with friends and walk around more."

After entering the room, Zhong Han was studying a long painting by Zou Ru.

Zhong Yi said: "Daddy, what are you looking at?"

Zhong Han glanced at him: "Come and see this painting."

Zhong Yi took a closer look and couldn't help but be amazed: the painting is a scene of Yundi, which is divided into three sections, which is somewhat similar to a scene description, and the unique buildings of Yundi, large and small alleys, and winding streets are drawn lightly. , the banner of the wine shop... The objects contained range from small to large, the scenes are realistic, and the brush strokes are random, which seems to be Zou Ru's handwriting.

After dinner, sit outside together to enjoy the shade.

The sky is dotted with stars, the night sky is quiet, and the stars seem to shine on people.

Frogs are singing in the distance, and there is a sweet smell in the air, like the unique breath of summer, slowly permeating the surrounding scenes, everything is quiet and poetic.

Zou Ru sat on the rocking chair, holding a big cattail fan, and said, "It's probably the coolest time at night."

Zhong Han smiled: "I still remember, when we were young, the two of us always ran to the grass to look at the stars in the dark."

Zou Ru laughed: "Yes, there are crickets chirping while lying down. You insisted on catching them, but you didn't dare to play when you caught them."

Zhong Han was a little embarrassed: "Who knew that the cricket grew so big."...

Zhong Yi listened to their chatting, but felt an inexplicable eagerness in his heart—he couldn't help thinking of what Bai Jinyu said.

Go to the lotus pond tomorrow to play.

Huatian followed Yanhui for a walk around the courtyard.

Zhong Yi leaned against the wall, looking at the sky full of stars, it was really a leisurely night.

On the second day, Zhong Yi checked that the time was about the same, and touched the flower field that was acting coquettishly: "Hua Tian, ​​I'm going to the lotus pond today, so you can stay at home, okay?"

After finishing speaking, he ran outside: "Mother, I went out to find friends to play."

Yan Hui smiled and said, "Be careful on the road, don't be too wild."

Zhong Han said: "It's good to let Xiaoyi run around more, but I'm always bored at home in Andu."

Bai Jinyu's pawnshop is not far from here, Zhong Yi has a good memory, and soon saw the plaque of "Bai's pawnshop".

When he walked to the door, he saw Bai Jinyu sitting on the counter and looking at the accounts. She was wearing an apricot-yellow gauze dress, her hair was neatly combed, and only light yellow gauze ribbons were used. A few strands of black hair fell on her chest. Her oval face became more and more beautiful.

Zhong Yi thought that Bai Jinyu's appearance of quietly looking at the account was very pretty, with her long eyelashes flickering.

Bai Jinyu turned over a page of accounts, as if she felt Zhong Yi's gaze, she looked up and saw Zhong Yi, with a joyful face: "Brother Xiao Yi, you are here." She got up and explained a few words to the shopkeeper next to her. He took Zhong Yi's hand and walked out: "Let's go, let's go."

Zhong Yi felt that her hand was a little hot, but Bai Jinyu's hand was as soft as jade, and she felt a little embarrassed being held by her.

Bai Jinyu looked up at the sky: "The weather is fine today, let's go by bullock cart."

"Ox cart?" Zhong Yi was curious.

Bai Jinyu smiled and said, "I saw it last time, I will see it in a while, and it's also my first time riding an ox cart."

Seeing her bright smiling face, Zhong Yi also laughed.

Sure enough, as Bai Jin said, an old man came over in a bullock cart in a short while.

Bai Jinyu stepped forward: "Old man, we want to go to the lotus pond, can you give us a ride?"

The old man nodded and quoted the price.

Bai Jinyu bowed her head and took the purse.

Zhong Yi hurriedly said: "I'll do it." He immediately took out ten copper coins and gave them to the old man.

Bai Jinyu smiled: "I'll pay when I come back."

Zhong Yi shook her head: "There is no way to ask a girl to pay."

Bai Jinyu sat on the simple seat of the bullock cart, and Zhong Yi also went up.

Bai Jinyu smiled and said, "I never thought brother Xiaoyi would be such a gentleman."

Zhong Yi said: "My brother said it. He said that if I go out with a girl, don't let the girl pay for it, don't work hard, etc."

Bai Jinyu's smile remained unchanged, and said, "Hehe, it seems that your brother is also a good brother."

The two sat on the rickety carriage. Today's weather is not very hot. Occasionally, there is a cool wind blowing by. The flowers and plants on the side of the road grow lushly. They chatted and the atmosphere was harmonious.

Not long after, we arrived at the place where Er Zhongyi and Bai Jinyu met.

After getting off the bullock cart, they walked straight through the rows of willow trees.

The branches of the willow tree are thin and soft, swaying in the wind, graceful and graceful, and the small green leaves grow on the tender wicker, fresh and lovely.

Bai Jin said: "Brother Xiaoyi, the willow trees here have become more and bigger."

Zhong Yi smiled and said, "That's natural, after so many years."

Bai Jinyu walked in front, her apricot-yellow veil skirt swaying in the wind, outlining the delicate figure of the young woman.

—like these swaying willow branches.

This sentence came to Zhong Yi's mind, and then she blushed.

Fortunately, Bai Jinyu, who was walking ahead, didn't notice.

After walking through the willow forest, there is a small pond with colorful lotus flowers.

They played and played by the lotus pond, laughing very happily.

Gradually, the brilliance of the setting sun shone in the bright eyes of the young man, and Bai Jinyu froze.

Zhong Yi smiled and said, "It's time to go back."

Bai Jinyu smiled playfully: "It's not too far anyway, let's run back."

As soon as the words fell, the apricot-yellow figure ran away.

Zhong Yi smiled slightly, and ran after her back.

"Stop running, it's too fast—"

"Hahahaha, I can't catch up—"

A youthful youth like the wind, with a sweet voice like a silver bell.

Time slowly depicts their youthful appearance, forever deposited in the wind at the moment, in the white clouds, in the scent of petals, in the green willow forest.

The light and shadow of the setting sun slowly fell in the pool, reflecting a gorgeous red.
