help her chase his wife

Mu Shishi went to the stove and boiled a pot of hot water. After the grandmother killed the chicken and drained the blood, she poured hot water on the rooster to facilitate plucking.

Originally, Mu Shishi was helping grandma with her work, but when she saw Li Wan coming here to wash up, she became absent-minded.

After a few minutes, seeing Li Wan about to get up, Mu Shishi washed his hands, walked over quietly, and dragged Li Wan to the kitchen.

"I'm afraid you'll be hungry, so I boiled two eggs for you when I boiled the water just now." Li Wan couldn't wake up no matter how much she yelled in the morning, and in the end she couldn't have dinner with everyone.

The egg in the palm was still warm, and Li Wan's dark eyes were unconsciously filled with a smile.

Mu Shixi stared at her for a while, the corners of her lips slightly raised: "Your eyes are very beautiful when you smile, like a crescent moon surrounded by stars." Many summer nights when she was young, before going to bed, she and her grandmother would lie in the courtyard Looking up at the starry sky on the mat in the courtyard, grandma told those weird fairy tales while beating the annoying smelly mosquitoes with a cattail fan.

Li Wan was stunned for a moment, then she muttered a little shyly: "I didn't even know you would say such teeth-piercing words."

Mu Shishi rubbed the tip of his nose, looking a little embarrassed, turned around and walked towards the bamboo shed built on the west side.

Li Wan sat on the wooden bench and ate two eggs slowly, then she went to Mu Shishi's side.

"What are you doing with this wooden barrel?" Li Wan looked puzzled.

"Don't you want to take a bath?" Mu Shiyi looked at her sideways, "This is the wooden barrel specially used for bathing at home."

Li Wan's thoughts wandered, thinking of the clips shown on TV, the ancient official ladies seem to use this kind of wooden barrel for bathing...

"It's very comfortable to sit and soak in it. It's the feeling that all the capillaries in the whole body are open." Mu Shiyi touched her elbow. "Do you want to take a bath before noon? If you want, I will take a bath now." You can go to boil water."

Li Wan came back to her senses, closed her eyes, and hummed in a low voice.

After cleaning the wooden barrel, Mu Shishi chopped firewood, piled it into a pile, and carried it to the kitchen.

Li Wan took her drawing book and moved a small stool to sit next to Mu Shishi.

Mu Shiyi glanced at the lively and lively little figure in a princess skirt with different postures, and felt envious: "It's so beautifully drawn."

Li Wan stopped writing, and said softly: "I started learning to draw when I was two or three years old, and my first teacher was my mother," she said with a hint of nostalgia in her tone, "Besides, she also taught me piano and painting. Dance, and later specially invited Mr. Jiang Shen, who is highly respected in the art circle, for me."

Mu Shiyi threw a short piece of firewood into the fire, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes staring at the flame.She has no memory of her mother for a long time, the only thing she remembers is that this person is a heavy drinker and always smells badly of alcohol.

Li Wan didn't draw a character this time, but drew the old scalper from Li Xia's family in her memory. When she ate glutinous rice cakes last time, she observed the old cow carefully for a while.

Holding the drawing book, Mu Shiyi pursed his lips and smiled slightly: "You drew this cow with dignity, it doesn't look like a farm cow plowing the field, but a cow fairy showing off his might."

"Niu Xian?" Li Wan looked curious, "What is a Niu Xian?"

Mu Shishi put the picture book on her lap, poked the fire with a wooden stick, and told her the fantasy story she heard from Aunt Chunya.

Li Wan listened with gusto, and many images of surprise and praise emerged in her mind.

"This story is interesting," Li Wan shook Mu Shiyi's arm, "Do you know anything else? I still want to hear it."

Mu Shishi told her two more stories in a row, and didn't stop talking until the water boiled.

Li Wan still wanted to know more interesting fairy tales, so she poked the man's shoulder with her fingertips: "Mu Shishi, do you want to learn to draw?"

"Think about it." Mu Shishi filled the kettle with hot water.

"Then shall I teach you?"

Mu Shishi looked pleasantly surprised: "Okay."

"In this way, I will teach you how to draw during the day, and you will tell me stories at night."

Mu Shishi smiled openly, "Okay."

"What kind of speech habit do you have? Two words and two words popping out," Li Wan snorted at her, then stretched out her hand to pinch Mu Shishi's ear, "bad habit."

Mu Shishi blinked his eyes, his ears were stained with scarlet, and murmured softly, "Li Wan, I'm two years older than you."

"?"

Mu Shishi originally wanted to say that he couldn't just pull her ear like this, but when he got to his lips, he turned around: "Can I call you Wan'er in the future?"

"You're really going to kill me today," Li Wan curled her lips and clicked her tongue twice, "Sometimes she compliments me that my eyes are as beautiful as a crescent moon surrounded by stars when I smile, and then she wants to call me Wan'er affectionately."

Mu Shishi blushed and looked up at the sky to hide her embarrassment.

After helping Li Wan mix the bath water, Mu Shishi picked up the basket and went to Li Xia's house.

Li Xia led the cow out today, and the two of them walked up the mountain while talking.

Li Xia twitched her braids and asked Mu Shishi: "Why don't you ask Li Wan to come out for a walk? We have beautiful mountains and clear waters, blue sky and moist grass, and the scenery is very beautiful."

"She's taking a bath in her room right now," Mu Shixi stroked Li Xia's old scalper, "I'll ask her to come out to play together next time I have a chance."

Before lunch, Mu Shixi hurried back with a basket full of grass.

Li Wan stood at the door, grinding her back molars, frowned and pinched her cheeks: "You went out to cut pigweed and didn't tell me, I've been looking for you for a long time!"

Grandma came out to find the two of them for dinner, and happened to see this scene.

Mu Shiyi hurriedly took Li Wan's hand away and held it by his side: "Grandma, you go in first, Wan'er and I will be here in a while."

Grandma looked hesitant and responded slowly.

After putting down the basket, Mu Shiyi led Li Wan to the water tank to wash her hands.

Li Wan's expression was awkward, and a trace of worry flashed in her eyes: "Will grandma be angry with me because of what happened just now?"

"Maybe," Mu Shiyi twitched the corner of his mouth, "Grandma probably saw a domineering girl like you for the first time."

"Not only am I domineering, but I'm also capricious all day long." Li Wan pouted and pursed her mouth into a straight line, "You don't like me anyway, so I will leave here tomorrow with Grandpa!"

Mu Shishi just wanted to play a joke on her, but Li Wan was not happy.

"I was arguing with you just now, don't take it seriously." Mu Shiyi wanted to hold Li Wan, but the man pushed her away in annoyance. She accidentally fell to the ground, and her buttocks were stained. sludge.

Seeing Li Wan turning away angrily, Mu Shishi showed a bit of helplessness on his face.

At the dinner table, Mu Shishi picked up chicken legs and put them in Li Wan's bowl, but this man took them back again.

Through the light red dress, Mu Shixi secretly scratched Li Wan's knee twice.

Li Wan moved her leg silently, pinched the back of Mu Shishi's hand with her left hand.

Mu Shishi held her two fingers with his backhand and held them in the palm of his hand.

Li Wan poked the rice with her chopsticks, then secretly stretched out her foot and stomped on the man's shoe.

Mu Shishi endured the pain, but still didn't let go.

"Eleventh, eat quickly, the meal will get cold later." Grandma spoke, and Mu Shiyi had to listen, Li Wan couldn't help but curl her lips.

Wang Ning came after the meal and brought a pack of melon seeds. He specially invited Mu Shishi to go to the meeting with him.

Mu Shishi was still coaxing Li Wan, and had no intention of answering him: "You go back first, I will go to your house to look for you tomorrow."

Wang Ning stared at Li Wan without blinking, with a bit of shyness in his novel eyes: "Eleven, who is this beautiful little sister?"

"What are you yelling?" Li Wan glared at him angrily, "Who is your sister!"

Wang Ning was stunned for a moment, and then smiled awkwardly.

Mu Shishi sent Wang Ning out.

"This girl is so fierce." When he arrived in the courtyard, Wang Ning tilted his head and whispered to Mu Shiyi, "Be careful that you will be bullied by her."

Li Wan hid at the door of the main room and peeked.

Mu Shishi pretended not to know, and nodded slightly at Wang Ning.

After returning to the house, Mu Shishi found Li Wan lying on the bed with puffy cheeks, looking unhappy.

"Wan'er."

As soon as Mu Shiyi opened his mouth, Li Wan sat up abruptly and thumped Mu Shishi's shoulder twice: "Don't call me that, I haven't agreed yet!"

Mu Shishi stretched out his hands in the air and then retracted them, humming in a low voice.

Afterwards she went to Li Xia's house and came back at night.

After washing, the two of them slept on the same bed, and no one paid attention to the other.

Li Wan tossed and turned, turned left and right, but couldn't fall asleep.

Mu Shiyi reached out and touched Li Wan's arm, Li Wan's body froze, and then she bit the man's wrist angrily.

Mu Shiyi not only didn't hide, but moved closer to her: "Wan'er, I want to go to the meeting with you tomorrow."

Li Wan snorted: "It's getting late, I've already packed my clothes, and I'll leave here with Grandpa when the sun breaks."

Mu Shishi was silent for a while, then got out of bed in the dark, turned on the light in the room, and messed up all the clothes Li Wan had folded.

Li Wan's suffocating chest became much smoother, and a joyful smile was added to his tone: "Mu Shishi, why are you so reluctant to let me go?"

"En." In the dark night, Mu Shiyi carefully climbed onto the bed and lay down next to Li Wan.

Li Wan was in high spirits when she got the answer she liked to hear. She plucked the hair on Mu Shishi's forehead twice: "I can't sleep now, tell me a story."

"it is good."

After an unknown amount of time, the man's shallow breathing sounded in his ears. Mu Shixi fell silent, turned his head, and murmured, "Wan'er, what a dream."

In the early morning of the second day, Li Wan opened her eyes as soon as the morning light came in through the window, and in the next second, she woke up Mu Shiyihuang.

Mu Shishi's sleepy eyes were hazy, and his vision was blurred: "What's wrong?"

"Are we going to a meeting with that boy named Wang Ning today?"

Mu Shishi hummed hoarsely.

"I don't like him very much, can we go by ourselves?"

Mu Shishi looked embarrassed: "This is not good, is it?"

Li Wan bumped Mu Shishi's forehead with her own head, and jumped off the bed with her mouth pouted.

After breakfast, about half an hour later, they set off.

Mu Shishi picked up the basket and tried to hold her by the hand, but Li Wan snorted and dodged sideways.

The two went to Li Xia's house first, and then went to Wang Ning.

Along the way, Li Xia was like a bird, chirping non-stop. Most of the people she talked to were Mu Shiyi, and Wang Ning on the other side was no less impressive.

In contrast, Li Wan was as quiet as a little mute who couldn't speak.

Mu Shixi silently walked to the side of this person and held her hand.

Li Wan struggled, but did not break free.

For the rest of the time, Mu Shiyi intentionally or unintentionally found topics to chat with her.

A smile gradually appeared on Li Wan's face.

It's summer now, and there was a vendor selling watermelons at the meeting. Li Wan couldn't walk when she saw it, and pulled Mu Shishi's sleeve to lead her to look over there.

"Want to eat watermelon?" Mu Shishi asked her with a smile.

"Well," Li Wan added, "This is my favorite fruit."

"Then buy it." Mu Shiyi walked straight towards the watermelon seller without blinking an eyelid.

Li Xia and Wang Ning looked at each other in dismay. It rains all the year round and there is not enough sunlight, so it is not suitable to grow melons. Fruits like watermelon are all sold from other places. Needless to say, the price is very expensive...

Seeing that Li Wan went to pick watermelons, Li Xia secretly touched Mu Shishi's elbow and lowered her volume: "Do you really want to buy it?"

"Well, Wan'er likes it." What Mu Shixi was thinking was that Li Wan would be leaving soon, and she didn't want to let him be wronged.

Wang Ning's tone was sour: "You are really good to her. I have never loved my own sister so much."

At this moment, Li Wan hugged the watermelon, looked back and smiled at her: "Mu Shishi, I want this."

Li Wan's back was facing the light, the corners of her mouth were slightly curved, and for a moment, Mu Shiyi felt the man's smile enter her heart.
