Chapter 33: starfish

Views:

The clear moon is like frost, the branches and leaves are whirling, and the night wind is blowing.

A dirty hare came out of the forest. While chewing grass stalks with its three-petal mouth, it looked at the ancient magnolia tree not far away with its black pearl-like eyes. The grass, which was its favorite place to forage in the past, is now occupied by other people.

What it doesn't understand is why they don't eat grass, but gnaw each other's mouth. Is the mouth more delicious than that clump of fresh grass.

"—Mmm! Mmmmmmm!"

Yu Jinnian fell backwards, leaning on the thick magnolia branch, there was nowhere to escape. The feet-high weeds were crushed by the two of them, making rustling noises, which awakened the bugs hidden in them, and whispered one after another. However, at this moment, these ordinary sounds of nature seemed particularly harsh to Yu Jinnian's ears. As if he was the one being watched, he slammed his ears and couldn't help kicking his legs a few times.

These few kicks seemed to have kicked Ji Hong, and as if deliberately retaliating, he wrapped one hand around the back of Yu Jinnian's neck and held his face, bullying him more and more.

The inside of his mind was already boiled into a pot of porridge, and his face was also very hot. Yu Jinnian was clasped by Ji Hong with one hand and had nowhere to put the other, so he waved it around restlessly. While struggling, he caught something's belt, When he was in a daze, he pulled hard—the black hair fell from the side of Ji Hong's face, and the man's beautiful and handsome face fell into the shadow in an instant, with a thrilling charm.

"Shut up." Ji Hong finally gave the boy a chance to breathe, or maybe he couldn't bear the agitation brought about by Yu Jinnian's stare, he couldn't wait, so a trace of it was inevitable in his voice The taste of oppression that he himself could not experience, "Close your eyes."

Yu Jinnian couldn't think anymore, Ji Hong said what he said, he closed his eyes with trembling eyelashes, and before taking two breaths, Ji Hong kissed him again, but this time he was more calm, and changed to Slowly lure and lick.

There was a study that said that when a person loses a certain sense, other senses will become more sensitive——Yu Jinnian closed his eyes, and suddenly remembered this research report that was almost forgotten in the back of his mind. He could even remember the report. Those few research figures accurate to three decimal places are simply inexplicable.

What's even more inexplicable is that after the initial shock subsided, he actually felt pleasure from this kiss.

The headband wrapped around Yu Jinnian's hand suddenly slipped to the ground. While groping, he came across a piece of soft fabric, and then gave up the missing headband, firmly grasping Ji Hong's lapel, subconsciously I pulled in my own direction, so hard that my knuckles turned white.

However, at this moment, Ji Hong stopped without warning. He let go of his soft lips, and the hand wrapped around the young man's back slid down from his spine, and he gave a soft laugh.

Yu Jinnian opened his eyes and felt that everything in his sight was wet. Even the moon above his head seemed to be just fished out of the water. His mouth was hot and numb. He looked up and didn't know what he was looking at. Foolishly bubbling.

Ji Hong hugged the foolish young man, leaned against the tree, untied a tube of bamboo wine from his waist, and took a sip by himself.

Yu Jinnian sat there with his knees in his arms, smelling the aroma of wine, he stretched out his hand and said, "I want it too."

As soon as the bamboo tube was handed over, he picked it up and poured half of it. Ji Hong turned his head to look at him, stretched out his hand to rub Yu Jinnian's forehead, and then brought him over and kissed him, touching the tip of the boy's nose Said: "Do you want more?"

Yu Jinnian exhaled and said, "I'm talking about wine, not—"

Halfway through, he shut up.

"What isn't it?" Ji Hong asked in a low voice, still keeping a distance from him that seemed like a kiss but not a kiss. Yu Jinnian refused to speak, but the boy's uneasy blinking eyelashes seemed to scratch his heart, and he made a gesture to kiss again. The boy's eyelashes closed in a panic, and his hands also climbed up and grabbed his skirt again.

After waiting for a long time without waiting for what he expected, Yu Jinnian narrowed his eyes quietly, seeing Ji Hong was looking at him leisurely, immediately pushed him away from shame, lowered his head and sipped his wine bottle and said, "I'm so annoying to you!"

Ji Hong was not annoyed when he was pushed away, so he straightened his clothes and sat back. Seeing him squatting far away like a frog, he couldn't help laughing: "What are you doing hiding so far away? Am I eating people? Is it cold? Come here. "

It was quite cold, Yu Jinnian moved over slowly, Ji Hong unfolded his cloak to wrap him up, and whispered: "Is it still cold?"

"It's okay." The boy replied, he shrank his head in the cloak and hid himself. After a long time, he didn't know what to say, and finally stammered and said in a muffled voice, "That... I kissed you too, don't be afraid."

Ji Hong looked down at him, suppressed his thoughts, and hummed.

Well, it's over? Yu Jinnian frowned.

The two of them nestled under the tree, leaning against each other on the ground, and there was nothing else to say between them. It seemed that this sudden kiss was really for emboldening Ji Hong. Yu Jinnian's heart was agitated, as if something was tied up in his heart, he wanted to jump but couldn't, he lifted his cloak and looked up secretly, and saw Ji Hong closed his eyes and rested, with a cold and restrained expression on his face, as if he was in meditation.

After a long while, Ji Hong seemed to have noticed that he was peeping at him, but he didn't open his eyes, and only asked softly, "Don't sleep? I still have to find a way at dawn tomorrow."

Yu Jinnian's throat was blocked, his chest was depressed, and he shrank back like a snail, wrapped himself tightly in the cloak, and wondered in his heart, what does he mean, does he really use me as a decompressor

After a while, Ji Hong finally noticed that the young man was angry—it was because Yu Jinnian was swaying in his arms like a worm on his waist, and he didn’t want to pay attention—he took off a little cloak, and deliberately asked: "It's not comfortable to sit, is there a hole in the ground?"

Yu Jinnian died, you have a hole, Ji Hong, you have a hole in your heart!

Ji Hong was full of patience and calmed down: "What's the matter?"

"..." If I really want to ask Yu Jinnian why he is uncomfortable, or what Yu Jinnian wants to hear from Ji Hong, he doesn't know himself. There is a word stuck in his throat, but he can't say it, and he feels very awkward .

"Okay." Ji Hongan patted his waist coaxingly, and said, "Raise your head."

"What are you doing?" Yu Jinnian blinked in dissatisfaction, who would have thought that the moment he raised his head, he would be sucked again by the other party. After the kiss, Ji Hong still didn't express anything, and tucked back the cloak he had just uncovered, as if nothing had happened. Yu Jinnian was so mad, how could there be such a person, is there something wrong with him!

Fuck your second uncle!

Yu Jinnian wiped his mouth, got out of Ji Hong's cloak, wrapped himself in the clothes and fell asleep. But it's so dark around here, if Ji Hong gets sick... He thought about it for a while, tangled up the pros and cons, and finally softened, then moved back and put a hand on Ji Hong's wrist.

But he was really big-hearted, he would sulk when he got angry, and fell asleep.

Ji Hong didn't bring him in until he was fast asleep, and wrapped him up in the cloak again. Yu Jinnian who fell asleep was so obedient, after being hugged, he automatically found a warm place to sleep, arched like a cat, and snuggled into Ji Hong's arms.

"Let's see how long you can bear it." Ji Hong played with his hair and said with a low smile.

The surroundings finally became silent again, and the darkness slowly enveloped the two of them. Fortunately, with Yu Jinnian by his side, Ji Hong only thought of fresh and lovely things, and those fears could be well suppressed in his heart instead, unlike before. It was so easy to jump out, he gently embraced the young man, and closed his eyes.

In the early morning of the next day, Ji Hong was woken up by someone shaking him.

When he opened his eyes, he saw a strangely long donkey's mouth, pouted to chew on his collar.

"Woo, come back, come back!" Someone from behind yanked the rope and dragged the donkey farther away, and then Qian Da came out and said anxiously, "Oh, I found you!"

"Sorry, I got lost last night."

"Hey, it's okay. Although the mountain is big, there are no beasts. It's cold at night, so it doesn't freeze you?"

Ji Hong shook his head. He was about to get up when he suddenly felt that his legs were numb and he couldn't move. Looking down, the boy was sleeping comfortably with his lap on his pillow, with crystal saliva still hanging from the corner of his mouth, and his hand was placed out of place, somewhere between his legs, the boy was covering that area with hot hands It's also hot.

Just as he was feeling a little embarrassed, Yu Jinnian licked his saliva, and dreamily said: "Geoduck fish... cut like this..." Then he stretched out his hand to grab it, so frightened that Ji Hong clasped his wrist, lightly Shouted: "Jin Nian, Jin Nian, wake up."

"... Ah, don't you eat seafood?" Yu Jinnian rubbed his eyes, yawned long, got up from Ji Hong's lap, raised his hands and hung them on his shoulders again, and rubbed against the hollows of his shoulders, "Don't call me, I haven't finished eating!"

Qian Da was embarrassed to look at the two of them, so he turned around and led the greedy donkey, saying: "Yesterday you didn't return all night, so I came out to look for you. This donkey happened to be found on the way, and it was eaten halfway up the mountain." gone."

The silly donkey sneered and shook his face, the boss was not happy.

Hearing the donkey bray, Yu Jinnian seemed to have some kind of button on his body, and he suddenly woke up and said, "Donkey? The donkey is back?!"

Qian laughed loudly and said, "Yes, brother Nian, I found it back. You see, my stomach is full after eating."

Yu Jinnian ran over to look around the donkey, checked it from head to toe, and confirmed that there was no wound at all. Then he hugged the donkey's face, touched it vigorously, and said gratefully: "That's great, Brother Qian, thank you !"

Ji Hong supported the tree trunk and slowly moved his legs that were numb from Yu Jinnian's pillow, and said depressedly in his heart, the donkey was indeed more important than him.

The three returned along the road, with Qian Da leading the way, Yu Jinnian happily riding on the donkey's back, and Ji Hong holding the donkey helplessly. Back at the wooden house, Lin Qiao came out to welcome her, worried: "Are you all right?"

Qian Da hurriedly said, "What's the matter, Brother Nian and the others are lost."

Lin Qiao nodded again and again: "It's good to be back, it's good to be back. Come in quickly, make morning food on the stove, and warm yourself up."

The so-called morning food is actually the rice porridge that farmers often eat, pickled vegetables, and millet cakes left over from yesterday. But Yu Jinnian ate with gusto, and asked Lin Qiao how to make pickled vegetables. He chatted with Lin Qiao in full swing, and Ji Hong was dragged by Qian Da to see the hen brooding.

After dinner, Yu Jinnian dictated a prescription for Guchong Decoction, ordered Ji Hong to write it down, and told Qian Da about Lin Qiao's diet, and then he was about to go down the mountain and go home.

Qian Da volunteered and said: "I'll go and drive the car with you, and I'll just go to the northern pier of the city, and take a basket of fish back to eat!"

Yu Jinnian was naturally happy when he heard that, the dried shrimps and fish prepared for Dingdang in the noodle shop had already been eaten, and he was thinking of going to the fish market at the wharf when he was free, and he also bought some carp, crucian carp and carp to eat at home. Yesterday, I made fish for Lin Qiao alone, which also hooked out the greedy worms in his own stomach.

They hit it off immediately, led the donkey down the mountain, put on the cart at the foot of the mountain, and headed straight to Pingjin Pier.

The fish market at the wharf was extremely lively today, with all kinds of yelling and shouting. Qian Da tied the donkey cart tightly and said with a smile: "Today is the fifteenth day, and the morning market and evening market are very lively! Maybe we can find some Good things are coming!"

The two of them followed Qian Da to his own stall, and there was a young man sitting behind the fish stall, who was Qian Da's son, and he was Yu Jinnian's patient, so they met Yu Jinnian very warmly Greeting: "Brother Nian, Nian, it's been a long time, good, long time... No, no, I don't see you!"

The young man was stuttering, he couldn't speak when he was excited, Yu Jinnian asked, "Are you alright?"

The young man nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Big, big, great... thanks, thanks, thanks... thanks... Nian, Nian, Brother Nian!"

Yu Jinnian smiled: "Speak slowly, there is no rush."

The boy blushed shyly, and was embarrassed to talk too much to make people laugh, so he hurriedly helped his father catch fish into the basket.

Yu Jinnian walked around to see if he could buy some novelties. He found a lot of good things in this way, and a fisherman was selling salted kelp, and some dried kelp. The starfish are probably imported from Haikou Port in the east. There are quite a few such sea cargo ship merchants here, who bought fresh goods from the sea and sold them along the way, and then bought mountain goods and local products and sold them all the way back. Earn enough food for the whole family for several months.

Seaweed is a good thing, but starfish can be eaten fresh, but Yu Jinnian doesn't like to eat them, and he doesn't bother to make them. People at that time thought starfish were poisonous, so they never imported them, and only strung them for decoration. He inquired about the price, and felt that it was quite reasonable, so he rounded up the remaining few catties of kelp, and the boatman gave him two dried starfish to play with.

When Yu Jinnian was taking out money, he was suddenly bumped by someone, and the copper plate in his hand slammed all over the floor.

He raised his head angrily, but saw that the person bumping into him was a boy with a baby face who was half a point shorter than him, with big and lively eyes, and a childish, white and cute face. With a basket full of silk flowers, Yu Jinnian would think that he was some young master who came out to play in the market.

Seeing that he had bumped into someone, the young man took two steps back in panic for a moment. He subconsciously wanted to run away, but when he thought that if he ran, he would definitely be beaten if he was caught. Crying made the nobleman unhappy, so I had to hold back with all my strength, and my beautiful eyes endured like a bunny, it was really pitiful.

No one can bear to blame such an innocent little pitiful.

Although Yu Jinnian was the victim, he turned his head to comfort the other party: "Okay, okay, don't cry."

Hearing the consolation, the young man was even more aggrieved, tears fell down like broken threads, making Yu Jinnian flustered, not knowing what to do, he took out a starfish from his pocket, put it in his basket and said: " This is for you to play, don't cry, okay?"

The other party saw that Hai Xing finally stopped crying. He seemed to like this five-pointed gadget very much, holding it in his hand and playing with it. He got something good, so he also grabbed two silk flowers from his basket, and held them in front of Yu Jinnian's face: "Here you are."

Yu Jinnian: "Give it to me?"

The young man nodded vigorously: "Yeah!" After that, he also grabbed one, tiptoed and gave it to Ji Hong: "You look pretty, and I give it to you too!"

Yu Jinnian couldn't laugh or cry: "This is what you want to sell, right? How can you give it away?"

The young man frowned, thought for a long time before he understood the reasoning, and hurriedly took back the one given to Ji Hong, but because he got the starfish that Yu Jinnian gave him, his brother once taught him that he must accept the gift from others. To say thank you, you have to reciprocate courtesy, so I endured the pain for a long time, so I didn't want to send back the two flowers of Yu Jinnian.

He muttered softly: "I can't give it away anymore, Ah Chun sold the silk flowers to treat my brother's illness."

"Hey..." Yu Jinnian didn't stop, the boy had already run away, "Oh, forget it."

The boy didn't leave after running away, but hid, secretly looking in the direction of Yu Jinnian and the two of them, he rubbed his hands, tangled in something, circled the small sapling around him many times, and finally stomped his feet and said firmly: "Yes He, that's him!"

After that, he ran after him.

Yu Jinnian bought kelp and other odds and ends, and took the fish basket that was gifted with a lot of money, and drove home with the donkey cart with Ji Hong. After entering the city gate and approaching the entrance of the noodle shop, Yu Jinnian noticed something strange, so he looked back, but there were only wide streets and scattered pedestrians behind him, and everything was as usual.

How strange.

He frowned, tugged on Ji Hong's clothes, hesitated for a while and said: "Ah Hong, do you feel... we are being followed?"
