Chapter Seventy-Five: A Visitor from Far Away
The south wind blew through the verdant hills, caressing the fat leaves, and lifting the girl's long hairband and skirt.
A woman in green clothes stood on the grass, holding a dart between her fingers, staring directly at the target hanging on the tree in front of her, and silently reciting in her heart: concentrate on the center, aim at the target, organize yourself, and exert force on your knuckles.
Then he looked at him and waved his hand.
In just three seconds, there was a muffled sound of a heavy object falling to the ground from the ridge on the side, and then an angry voice sounded in the same direction: "Bei Dye, what the hell are you doing!" My winter melon was just ripe and I didn't pick it, and you shot it to the ground and fell to pieces. ”
When Bei Ran heard the sound, he hurriedly put his palms close to his thighs, stood solemnly, and kept bowing and apologizing: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry...... Uncle Thirteen, I just missed a moment, and I will never do it again. ”
Uncle Thirteen blows his beard and stares at his eyes with a blue face, and Bei Ran has been afraid of him since he was a child.
From her birth to the present, the entire village has been tricked and bullied by her, but in the face of the thirteenth uncle, it is like a mouse seeing a cat, lest he avoid it. To this day, the way he whipped her is especially vivid, the pain that pierces her heart, the wound that crawls all over her arm like a centipede, she is afraid that she will never forget it in this life.
It's the same now, as soon as Uncle Thirteen drank, she immediately stood still and didn't dare to move, and her legs were still trembling. Seeing that although Uncle Thirteen's expression was still indignant, he didn't say anything more and bent over to work, so she let go of her heart that was hooked by a fishing rod.
She took one out of the box, pumped herself up, and shot at the target in the tree again.
However, history is always strikingly similar, and the snowflake dart went to the nearby vegetable garden without bias.
This time, there was no roar like the lion-like roar of the thirteenth uncle, but when Bei Ran was complacent and thought that the thirteenth uncle had not found out, he directly picked up the hoe in his hand and chased after him.
"You dead girl, the grapes in the garden are about to ripen, and you shot off more than half of them, see if I don't kill you!"
Bei Ran ran while crying wolf: "Uncle Thirteen, I really didn't mean to, you spare me." ”
Uncle Thirteen snorted while chasing: "Don't run, I have to teach you a lesson for your father today!" ”
Bei Ran shut up and stopped talking, holding his back and running down the mountain. I thought to myself: Oh, don't run? Don't run and stand honestly for you to fight?
Uncle Thirteen was not slower than her with a hoe, and he was about to catch up with her. Suddenly, a person came from behind the big tree in front of her, her eyes lit up, and she hurriedly ran towards the man, hid behind him and said, "Sir, help." ”
Seeing the person coming clearly, Uncle Thirteen stopped and panted: "Childe, get out of the way, I'm going to kill her today." ”
Ji Changkong looked at the cat-clad little man behind him, and then looked at the menacing Thirteenth Uncle in front of him, and bowed: "Thirteenth Uncle, I don't know what happened to make you so angry?" ”
The thirteenth uncle stood the hoe on the ground and said angrily: "This crazy girl, you said that she would practice the exercises, but she still had to shoot down the winter melons and grapes in my garden, and fell to the ground and shattered into slag." ”
Bei Ran hid behind Ji Changkong and stretched out a head: "I didn't mean to. After saying that, he immediately retracted his head.
Seeing this, Ji Changkong already knew the general situation of something. said with a smile: "Uncle Thirteen, it was my instruction that Bei Ran practiced the secret weapon here, so I also have a share of responsibility for destroying your vegetables and fruits." Again, presumably she didn't have the intention to practice your things, but it must be because she was not good at learning art, so she missed. If so, then my responsibility is even greater, after all, what she learned is what I taught, and even if she misses, I can't teach it well. ”
Uncle Thirteen has anger in his heart, but this qi can't come out of Ji Changkong's body. This time, seeing that he intended to protect Bei Dye and take the responsibility on himself, Uncle Thirteen couldn't say anything. had to threaten Bei Ran behind him: "If you dare to break my things next time, see how I clean you up!" Then he went back to work with his hoe.
After making sure that the thirteenth uncle was really gone, Bei Ran came out from behind Ji Changkong and said with a long breath: "It's so dangerous, I was almost beaten." ”
Ji Changkong teased her: "I really should let Uncle Thirteen teach you a lesson, it's been a few months, and your secret weapon technique still hasn't made much progress." ”
Kitazor retorted, "But I've improved my sword skills a lot. Strange to say, as long as I hold the sword in my hand, it seems that I have the same mind as it is, how to make it easy, and now I feel more and more that I should be a good hand with a sword. So saying, she ran to pick up the long sword on the ground, and wanted to show him both hands.
She had barely raised her sword when the voice of Seventeen was heard in the distance. She stood on the hillside and called out to her, "Miss, there are guests at home, and the owner and lady of the village will tell you to go back quickly." ”
Bei Ran put down his sword when he heard the sound and returned: "Got it." Then he said to himself, "It's strange, what guests will come?" ”
She pulled Ji Changkong next to her down the mountain together, chatted with him about what had just happened, and said, "Sir, you don't know how terrible Uncle Fang Cai looks like Thirteen, fortunately you came, otherwise ......"
When the two of them walked to the door of the hall, they saw a young man dressed in black sitting in the hall with his back to them at the moment, and he didn't know what to say, which made the owner and his wife laugh.
Bei Ran listened to his voice and felt familiar, walked to the center of the hall, and said sideways: "Chu Wang? ”
This Chu Wang is the young village master of Kezhai on another mountain, and his father is close friends with the master of Beizhai. A little older than Bei Dye, the two often played together when they were young, but later they grew up, and the two families had their own livelihoods, so they moved around less. But despite this, the iron-clad friendship is still there.
The young man turned around, and saw that the owner of the voice was indeed his childhood companion, so he bounced up from the chair happily, jumped in front of her, and said happily: "It's me, it's me, I didn't expect to see you for a few years, you have grown a lot taller." ”
Bei Ran was lifted around by him like picking a salted fish, he felt very uncomfortable, struggled to pull out, hid behind Ji Changkong, and mocked him: "Don't you eat for a few more years, won't you grow up?" ”
Because she hadn't seen her for a long time, she was too excited and didn't notice that there were other people around, so she hid, and Chu Wang noticed the person in front of her. He looked at him carefully and asked, "You are the gentleman from Bei Dye?" ”
Ji Changkong glanced at him and said, "Who are you?" ”
The young man raised his head: "Chu Wang, the young master of Kezhai." My father and the owner of Beizhai are friends, and I have played together with Bei Ran since childhood, and it can be regarded as the right family. ”
Ji Changkong's face changed, and he asked him for his identity, and he was able to pull it to the door. Is this a declaration of sovereignty to him? It means that they are a couple, others don't think about it, and the same goes for Mr.?
Not possible!
Ji Chang stood with his hands in the air, his already straight back straightened a little, and said coldly: "You just say a name, I'm not interested in the rest." ”
Chu Wang was so choked by his cold words that he couldn't speak: "You ......!" ”
Bei Ran saw Chu Wang's red and green face, and hid behind Ji Changkong and snickered.
This Chu Wang, when she was a child, loved to bully her! Every time I play a game, I don't know how to let the girl.,Always force her and Seventeen to cry before they stop.。 The fruits that my father and mother gave them all, he would only take away the big ones, leaving them sour and astringent.
Most excessively, he also released the butterfly she had managed to catch, replaced it with a disgusting caterpillar, and then told her that it was the butterfly that gave birth to a cub. All kinds of deeds are really hateful!
At this time, seeing him choked and speechless by others, he was really relieved. After laughing enough, Bei Ran began to worship Ji Changkong in his heart again: My husband is the best! My husband is the most handsome! My husband can do anything!
Chu Wang saw that he met an opponent this time, and he really wanted to compete with him. But I thought that there would be more time to meet in the future, and it would not be too late to fight again in the future. He snorted, followed his example, put his hands behind his back and made a cold attitude: "Mr. Jiuwen's name, when I saw it today, it was really different from ordinary people." ”
Then he turned back to his seat and sat upright, looking much more solemn than the lazy and leisurely posture before. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, he covered his mouth and whispered to the entourage next to him: "Are I handsome when I talked to the man in white just now?" ”
The attendant bowed slightly and replied to him: "Handsome! ”
He asked, "How does it compare with him?" Is there anything more handsome than him? ”
The entourage glanced at the man sitting opposite, a little entangled, but after the entanglement, he still agreed: "Naturally more handsome than him, my young master is the most handsome person within a radius of five hundred miles from Kezhai." ”
After getting the answer, Chu Wang nodded with satisfaction, and his heart was proud. Sample! Although you are a little handsome, can you be as handsome as me?
Seeing that his young master was very satisfied with the answer he gave, the entourage was also very happy, and couldn't help but want to boast: I am really a clever ghost.
Suddenly such a guest appeared, Bei Ran wondered, ran to her mother and muttered, "Mother, why is he here?" ”
Mrs. North nodded her forehead and smiled: "You haven't seen each other for so long, don't you miss it a little?" ”
Bei Dye was categorical: "I don't want to." ”
Mrs. Bei smiled again: "Isn't it almost the Dragon Boat Festival, your father and I want to let Xiao Wang come to us to spend the Dragon Boat Festival together, and then make some shortbread for him to take back to his father." ”
Every New Year's holiday, the two families in Chubei may not have to visit and move around, and it is most essential to give gifts to each other. As we all know, Mrs. Bei cooks good dishes, especially all kinds of pastries, which are exquisite and delicious, and no one who has eaten them shakes their heads.
It is also the case that Mrs. Chu and Mrs. North are sisters, they love sweets, and they are very greedy for the food she cooks. Therefore, every time the North family sends a gift, there will always be a few boxes of pastries made by Mrs. Bei herself.
This time, Chu Wang came over as a guest instead of his father, and the warm-hearted Mrs. Bei would definitely not let him go back empty-handed, and he would definitely stuff his bag with her masterpieces before he would stop.
But when Beiran heard it at this moment, he was in a hurry: "What? Does he want to spend the Dragon Boat Festival with us before leaving? ”
Now there is still more than half a month before the Dragon Boat Festival!
Mrs. North nodded and said, "Yes, you can play together again this time." ”
Kitazin secretly rolled his eyes to the sky, who wants to play with him.
As soon as this Chu Wang came, every day except for sleeping at night in his room, he usually followed behind Bei Ran like a tail. When Kitazor went to attend the class, he found a futon to sit next to her. If it was a meal, he would go with him to the dining room. Even when she went to the hut, he had to wait outside the door. Not only that, but the words in his mouth have to be kept on and on.
"Hey, you've built a few more yards here."
"This tree has grown so tall!"
"Your mother's cooking skills have improved a lot."
……
Bei Ran was so entangled by him that he couldn't bear it, and Zhengse said: "Won't you feel bored talking to yourself like this?" ”
Chu Wang avoided answering, and said happily: "I haven't seen you for several years, don't you feel very excited to see me now?" ”
Beiran glanced at him, and laughed dryly: "I'm so excited." ”
Chu Wang's eyes lit up suddenly, and he got closer to her, and said, "Right?" I knew you were going to be excited. So so excited, why don't we go to the field together at night to catch a toad and have fun? ”
For the past two days, he has been buzzing in his ears like a fly, and Bei Ran didn't want to pay attention to him, but his proposal was a bit interesting.
How long has it been since you caught a toad? Just thinking about it makes me happy.
Bei Ran was about to reply, but was startled by the sound of a cup and a wooden tool colliding next to him. She and Chu Wang looked up at the same time, only to see Ji Changkong slamming a cup full of water in front of Chu Wang.
The water is really full, and if it is full enough, it will overflow if it is full of one more drop.
Chu Wang didn't know why, and Bei Ran was also puzzled: "Sir? ”
Ji Changkong turned around and returned to his seat, and said, "It is not easy for Chu Gongzi to say more than you. I went and poured him a glass of water, afraid that he would be thirsty. ”
Bei Ran knew that this seemed to be pouring water, but it was actually giving them a warning. Presumably, he heard all the things they had just talked about, and his heart was gloomy: it seemed that this toad catching was impossible to go.
Who knew that Chu Wang, whose eyes were bigger than his head, didn't notice it at all, but pushed the water cup to the side: "I'm not thirsty." Then he continued to excitedly talk to Bei Ran about the details and precautions of catching toads.
Bei Ran glanced at Ji Changkong, who was sitting in the northwest direction, and saw that his face was getting more and more gloomy, Bei Ran hurriedly poked Chu Wang with his elbow, wanting him to stop.
But Chu Wang's elm pimple was stunned because he didn't understand what she meant, and he still talked endlessly. Kitazor had no choice but to close his eyes and pray for God's blessing.
Sure enough, the next moment, a peanut flew from the sky, instantly shattering the water cup in front of Chu Wang, and the water splashed everywhere, sprinkling Chu Wang's head and face.
Chu Wang was excited by the sudden cold water, and just wanted to scold, but when he turned his head, he saw Ji Changkong's dark and terrifying eyes like poisonous snakes, and he swallowed back the words that had come to his mouth.
At this moment, he finally realized that it didn't seem appropriate for him to sit there. So he got up slowly, and slowly retreated towards the door under the gaze as sharp as a scimitar, and when he reached the door, he ran away with a smoke.
