After hearing what Master said, I sighed. I am not a fool. What they said was very obvious, almost explicit.
When I faced Ruyue myself, I just didn't want to think about this kind of problem. I cherish the relationship between me and Ruyue. Some things are just because the more I cherish them, the more afraid they will 'deteriorate', and the more I want to escape.
Pulling Hui Gen'er along the way up the mountain, Hui Gen'er walked and jumped, unable to rest for a moment, shouting: "Brother Chengyi is brother E, sister Ruyue is sister E, master E accepts E as his apprentice." When I was young, I told him that I had a brother and a sister. I hadn’t seen you at that time, so I was just wondering what my brothers and sisters looked like.”
I don’t know how many times I have heard Hui Gen’er recite this passage. This is probably the reason why Hui Gen’er has been so attached to Ruxue and me since she was a child. But today it sounded different to me. I couldn’t help but ask: “Hui Gen’er, You especially don’t want to lose Sister Ruyue, right?”
"Well, I don't want to be without my brother." Hui Gen'er blinked her big eyes and said to me seriously.
"Well, the same goes for my brother. You are my brother, and Ruyue is my sister. I think you will be my younger brother and sister for the rest of your life. So, I don't know anything, and I don't want to ask anything. Ruyue is my sister for life. "I also said it to Hui Gener seriously.
"What do you mean?" Hui Gen'er looked at me inexplicably. Of course he didn't understand.
After understanding this, I felt a little more cheerful. I touched Hui Gen'er's round head, smiled, and said, "That's what it means."
Hui Gen'er pouted, pushed my hand away with dissatisfaction, and muttered: "I don't care about you, you are all crazy."
Hui Gen'er's words made Brother Chengxin laugh who was standing next to him. Even Irene, a fierce girl, also laughed. Brother Chengxin gently held my arm and said, "This is a good way. Sometimes I pretend to be..." Being confused is much less harmful than telling the truth. It's like a wound. If you let it rest, it will heal. If you fiddle with it, it will bleed. Don't worry about scabs and leaving traces, because the scabs are the hardest. skin."
Brother Chengxin is like this. His behavior is as gentle as a spring breeze. He holds his arm and pulls his arm. These are his common actions. I accept it calmly. I feel that after so many years, the friendship between the same family has become stronger in our generation. Recovered.
"Everyone in the world knows that gods are good, but I can't forget the words..." The master roared a tuneless tune loudly for no reason. Uncle Hui looked at the master with disdain, snorted, and muttered next to him: "Sing." What the hell! He has a real golden voice, who among the girls in the valley doesn’t know that?"
The master stopped singing and glanced at Uncle Hui with the same disdain and said: "The girls in your valley are all 70 or 80-year-old old women who can't even hear. Otherwise, why would they say you have a golden voice? You have a golden voice?" The donkey hummed, and as soon as he sang, a group of female donkeys gathered around him."
"Fuck your mother." Uncle Hui cursed loudly, and then started to roar a Xintianyou song.
This was a naked duel. How could my master admit defeat? He also roared a Sichuan folk song.
Then a group of us climbed up to the top of the mountain under the "bombing" of Master and Uncle Hui.
Master and the others said they had something important to discuss, so they went directly to the ancestral-like building where the great witches in the village were usually. When I got here, I felt a little uneasy. I didn't know whether to follow Master and the others or go find Ruxue.
But Master walked up to me and said to me: "Go ahead, no matter what the result is, you will always have to face it. Again, Master will not interfere with any of your decisions, so don't feel pressured. "
I took a deep breath and said to Master seriously: "Master, you don't have to say anything. My choice has already been decided. Likewise, I will respect Ruxue's choice. I..."
Hearing what I said, Master's eyes flashed with sadness and nervousness. He waved his hand and said to me: "Don't tell me your decision now. No matter what it is, it is an uncomfortable decision. I don't have it." Opening my apprentice's wounds is like me not used to thinking about my own sadness."
After saying that, Master sighed, turned around and left. Looking at Master's back, I thought that Master must have loved Grandma Ling Qing very much back then.
But whether it's me or him, we are all Lao Li's disciples and disciples, we are all the same.
-------Dividing line-------
It was still the same stilted building. I stood downstairs, looking at the window upstairs, but I didn’t have enough courage to go up. I lit a cigarette and leaned against the stairs. I felt that I needed a calmer mood to face it. right.
Halfway through the cigarette, I saw Ru Yue coming down with Grandma Ling Qing on her arm. Ru Yue's eyes were still a little red, but her expression had become more natural. She didn't speak, but Grandma Ling Qing asked me calmly: "Your master Are they at the ancestral hall?"
"Well, I just went." I don't know why, but I was a little nervous when facing Grandma Ling Qing.
"Hmm." Grandma Ling Qing nodded, and then asked me again: "Why don't you go up?"
"I'll go up later after finishing my cigarette."
"No matter what, let's talk it over. When a fate has a beginning, it will also have an end. No matter what kind of end it is, it is your own result, and the process is also your own process. There are some things that you don't have to regret." said After that, Grandma Ling Qing took Ru Yue away.
But I always feel that Ling Qing’s words have a deeper meaning. Is the same story between her and my master back then
Ruyue wanted to say something to me, but in the end she didn't say anything. She just whispered: "Third brother, come on."
I made a reassuring gesture to Ruyue, then smiled gently at her, put out the cigarette butt, and turned around to go upstairs.
The midsummer dusk left beautiful light and shadows outside the window, and the gentle wind filled the entire room with the unique breath of summer.
It's still the same room, still the same door curtain, trembling slightly in the wind, I'm standing outside the door, and Ruxue is inside the door.
I took a deep breath and opened the door curtain. I saw that familiar figure, but she was a little thinner. She was still leaning against the window, her long hair was still scattered on her shoulders, and she was using a small wooden comb. , gently combing her long hair.
I don't want to speak, and I can't bear to speak, for fear of destroying the tranquility of this moment, and fear that I will forget such a picture in my future life. It is so beautiful, I want to watch it for a while longer.
After staying for a few seconds, as if this scene was engraved into my soul, I stepped forward and walked slowly over.
Ruxue didn't look back, and I didn't want to call her. I just walked behind her and stood quietly. Then I naturally took the wooden comb in her hand and helped her comb her long hair.
Ruxue's body trembled slightly, but she still did not refuse. After a while, she said: "Are you here?"
I carefully combed her long hair and replied calmly: "Yes, I'm here."
The room was very quiet, with only the rustling sound of combing hair. Ruxue still didn’t look back, and I whispered: "In ancient times, men always expressed their feelings to their beloved wives in this way, combing her hair." Hair, eyebrows for her, yellow flowers on her face in the mirror, and red makeup on her face in the mirror. I really want to do this to you for many mornings in the future, you know it."
Ruxue also said softly: "I know." After a pause, she added: "I not only know this, I also know many things. I know that when you first saw my sister, you had a comb You have silly hair, I know you were poisoned by my sister, I know you are afraid of Hua Feifei, I know a lot about everything about you."
"Ruyue told you this?" I asked while combing Ruxue's hair.
"Yes, Ruyue told me all. She likes to tell me everything about you and her. At that time, I was very envious of her. She could go outside, take risks, and be natural with her regardless of her identity. A little friend to get along with. When she grows up, she can have a third brother who is a little silly and impulsive, but absolutely reliable and will not abandon others. Before that, I imagined you many times, but I didn’t imagine Come out." Ruxue said to me.
This was the first time Ruxue said this to me. I had no idea that she was so familiar with me before I met Ruxue, and I knew nothing about her. Because of coincidence, every time I said this When he came to her name, he was interrupted.
After meeting her, I realized that she was the beautiful woman they (they) said, with a good singing voice, a pair of skillful cooking hands, and the goddess Chengxin said.
She is also a Gu girl from Yueyan Miao Village.
