Especially those children who often come to Li Yulian's house to play on the ice, making the originally cold and lonely small courtyard lively and lively. Some villagers who didn't like to walk with Li Yulian originally moved around because of the frequent interaction between the children, and took the initiative to give Li Yulian the peanuts, corn, mochi and other things at home.
"Chang Bing, come, grandma will give you two sweet potatoes to eat."
Outside the wall of Li Yulian’s house, an old woman stopped by the courtyard gate with a cane, took out two cooked sweet potatoes from her pocket and passed it in through the courtyard wall, calling out to Chang Bing, who was playing in the courtyard with her head down. . The courtyard walls of villagers’ homes in remote counties and towns in Xiaguo Township are relatively low, with only an adult man tall and low, and most of them belong to the type that can guard against gentlemen and villains.
"Hey, here." Chang Bing heard someone calling her, looked up at the courtyard gate, saw an old woman standing outside the courtyard door, hurriedly ran over, stepped on the high wooden stool to climb the wall, and looked at the old woman with a smile. "Grandma Liu family, if you have bad legs and feet, don't give it away in person, just let Brother Er Niu bring it to me!"
"Oh, you little girl, Xiaozui can really say, kind of pity me, this old lady." Granny Liu looked at Chang Bing, and smiled: "I, I'm just idle at home, they all go to work. I’ll go out and walk around. I’ll see you every so often, and I’ll feel much better."
"Then Liu's grandmother, come in and sit down!" Chang Bing turned over the courtyard wall, opened the courtyard door, and said to Liu's grandmother.
Liu Jiapo tremblingly walked into the courtyard gate with the help of Chang Bing on crutches, sat on the stone ridge in front of the main hall, and said: "Chang Bing, are you the only one at home?"
Chang Bing held the two sweet potatoes given by Liu's wife, and nodded: "I was going to follow my aunt to the ground, but my aunt thought I was too young to let me go."
"Then what did you just squat on the ground for?" Liu Jiama asked curiously, looking at the ground where Chang Bingshi was squatting.
"I, I'm drawing a big fish!" Chang Bing said milkily.
"Big fish?" Liu Jiapo asked with a smile: "Have you seen a big fish?"
"I have seen such a big fish, the kind that swims in the sea." Chang Bing looked at Liu Jiapo and said, "There are also big fish with wings that can fly."
After hearing what Chang Bing said, her wrinkled face suddenly appeared like a flower, and said: "Chang Bing, I'm afraid you dreamed of it last night!"
"No, it's true." Seeing that Liu Jiapo didn't believe in herself, Chang Bing quickly defended herself, but after the defense, she recalled what Li Yulian had said to her before, and said weakly: "It should be!"
Seeing Chang Bing's guilty conscience, Liu Jiapo felt even more amused, and said, "You girl, you can't distinguish between reality and dream. Then tell grandma, what did you dream of last night?"
Chang Bing thought for a while, and said, "I live in a very cold sea, where there are many big fish, and there are big fish that can fly, the one that can fly very high."
After listening to her, Liu Jiapo sighed: "Chang Bing, grandma heard that there are really big flying fish in this world, very big ones."
"Really?" Chang Bing's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"Yeah, that kind of fish is called kunyu, and it turns into a peng. Once transformed into a peng, it can fly up to 90,000 miles." Liu Jiapo touched Changbing's little head and said.
"Grandma Liu, how did you know?" Chang Bing asked hurriedly.
"Our people of Xia have been legendary for generations." Liu Jiapo laughed and said, "But who has the opportunity to see the wonders of Kunyu Huapeng? Even the gods may not be able to see it, let alone. Us ordinary people, even ordinary people who don't even know what Haichang looks like!"
After listening to Chang Bing, he asked tightly: "Have you never seen the sea with them?"
"No, no." Liu Jiapo said: "Where does the sea come from in this mountainous land in the southwest? It's just some seas that can be seen on the margins."
Hearing this, Chang Bing couldn't help feeling pity for Liu Jiapo, and said: "Liu Jiapo, when I grow up, I will take you to see the sea."
When Liu Jiapo heard this, she immediately laughed and said, "Chang Bing is so filial! I'm afraid grandma can't wait for you to grow up!"
"Why?" Chang Bing asked tightly.
Liu Jiapo didn't answer Chang Bing's question directly, but touched her little face and said, "Hurry up and eat sweet potatoes, it won't taste good when it's cold."
Seeing that Liu Jiapo hadn't answered her question, Chang Bing didn't ask any more. He stretched out one of them and handed it to Liu Jiapo, "Grandma Liu, you have one too."
Liu Jiapo smiled and said, "Grandma doesn't eat it. Grandma has it at home. Changbing eats it."
"Oh, thank you grandma." Seeing that Liu Jiapo was not answering, Chang Bing had to withdraw his hand from the sweet potato and ate it on his own.
"Chang Bing, Chang Bing, are you at home?"
Outside the door, several children's calls suddenly sounded.
"Now!" Chang Bing heard the sound and immediately stood up and responded loudly.
A few small heads came in outside the door, who were they if it wasn't Liu Erniu? Liu Erniu's real name is actually called Liu Hui, because his parents felt that the child's name had to be humble to support them, so Liu Hui was always called "the second cow."
Seeing Chang Bing's answer, Liu Hui led the three children into the courtyard. He saw his grandmother here, and asked in amazement: "Azu, why are you here?"
Liu Jiapo smiled and said, "You play here every day, why can't I come?"
Liu Hui scratched the back of his head and smiled embarrassingly: "Azu, I didn't mean that. I mean you have bad legs and feet. Be safe when you move around."
"Do you still know that I feel sorry for your Azu?" Liu Jiapo smiled: "My, I have to go back later!"
"Then I will send Azu you back in a while." Liu Hui said hurriedly.
"Good, good." Liu Jiapo smiled.
Liu Hui looked at Changbing sitting on the stone ridge eating sweet potatoes, and asked, "Changbing, where did you get the sweet potatoes?"
Chang Bing pointed to Liu Jiapo and said, "You gave it to Azu."
Liu Hui looked at Liu Jiapo, then looked at Chang Bing, and said, "Chang Bing, look, my ancestor loves you! She gave you all the sweet potatoes that my mother selected for her to eat. NS."
When Chang Bing gnawed halfway, he suddenly heard Liu Hui say this, and hurriedly looked at Liu Jiapo, and handed the remaining half of the sweet potato to Liu Jiapo's eyes, saying: "Liu's grandma, I will pay you back."
Liu Jiapo smiled and said, "What do you want? I'm too old and I can't finish it. I will bring it to you. Don't listen to Erniu's bullshit. Changbing, eat it quickly."
"Oh." Chang Bing replied, and began to lower his head to eat again.
The other three children are called Erya, Tuer, and Gouwa. Erya is Gao Yu, the little girl of Gao Fuli's family, Tuer is Zhao Leng, the second child of Zhao Xianhe's family, and Gouwa is Jiang Feiyun, a child of Jiang Fu's family. When Gao Yu, Zhao Leng, and Jiang Fei saw Liu Hui talking with Chang Bing, they all leaned forward to make fun of Chang Bing. "Changbing, you eat it yourself, where's ours?"
Chang Bing was stunned, and quickly divided the sweet potato in his hand and handed them to Gao Yu, Zhao Leng, Jiang Feiyun and Liu Hui. When the children saw this, they were not welcome, and began to feast on them.
Liu Jiapo was watching Chang Bing, Liu Hui and other children happily eating, she couldn't help smiling, not wanting to cough heavily. She hurriedly covered her mouth with a handkerchief, opened the handkerchief after coughing, and quickly closed it again, weakly saying to Liu Hui, "Er Niu, help me go back."
When Liu Hui heard this, he hurriedly went to Liu Jiapo's side, and said with concern: "Azu, what's the matter with you?"
Jiapo Liu shook her head and said, "I'm a little uncomfortable. After you help me go back, come and play with Changbing!"
Liu Hui nodded hurriedly when he heard the words.
"Brother Erniu, let me be with you!" Jiang Feiyun said by the side.
Liu Hui nodded and said, "Okay, let's look for Changbing again in a while."
Chang Bing didn't know why Liu Jiapo suddenly wanted to leave, so he had to stand up and watch Liu Hui and Jiang Feiyun helped Liu Jiapo to slowly leave the courtyard.
Holding a small piece of sweet potato, Chang Bing raised his head and asked Gao Yu: "Sister Erya, what's wrong with Grandma Liu?"
Gao Yu smiled and said, "Grandma Liu's is getting old."
"Old?" Chang Bing still couldn't understand, his big eyes were confused. What happens when I get old
Grandma Liu's family drove Hexi on the night when she returned from Li Yulian's house, but for the young Chang Bing, she didn't feel any difference? But from then on, she could no longer wait for Liu Jiapo to give her sweet potatoes, peanuts and the like. Later, every time Liu Hui came to Li Yulian's house to look for Chang Bing to play, whenever Liu's grandmother was mentioned, his eyes would show a sadness that Chang Bing could not understand.
Chang Bing's life in Langxi Village, Panhua County, Xia Guo, was peaceful and painful, but this did not hinder her happy growth. In the first two years, she still eagerly waited for Xi Zhao and Pu Li to find her back to the North Sea of Mind. But as she got older, this sense of expectation became lower and lower. It was not that she had never inquired where the Beiming Sea was, but she had inquired, but even the most knowledgeable master in Panhua County did not know where the Beiming Sea was? This is how to do? If she wants to go back, she can't find a direction to go back! Or the road is too far away, the world is too big, grandfather and Puli can't find her!
Later, Chang Bing simply forgot the things that she had once in the North Sea of Mind, saying that she had forgotten, but not so, but locked it in a small wooden cabinet of memory, hidden deep, and she was like an ordinary The mortal world woman is doing what she should do in daily life like that.
There is a huge purple cherry tree at the head of Langxi Village, and there is a river under the purple cherry tree. Drinking water is cool and delicious, and it is the villagers' second preferred source of water besides well water.
Chang Bing carried the bucket and carried a basket of clothes to the river. When he saw Gao Yu and several other sisters in the village, he greeted, "Sister Erya, you are here too!"
"It's Chang Bing, are you here to wash your clothes?" Gao Yu looked up and saw Chang Bing, and said affectionately.
When the other sisters saw Chang Bing, they all greeted each other.
Chang Bing put down the bucket and squatted to Gao Yu's side with a basket of clothes. Gao Yu smoothly picked out the clothes in Chang Bing's basket and put them in the water to soak, and said, "Your aunt has gone out to work again? Didn't you let you go?"
"She always doesn't let me go to the ground." Chang Bing said with some annoyance.
"Why?" Gao Yu asked.
"I don't know, anyway, every time I say I want to go out with her, she always refuses, saying that I will tidy up for her at home." Chang Bing pouted. The long ice after reaching the peak has faded from the chubby and cute appearance when he was young, and has become thinner and slimmer, becoming more and more beautiful and elegant.
"Your aunt is so kind to you." Gao Yu sighed.
"But I want to share something for her. It's been twelve years, and I've grown up, so I can do everything. And my aunt's health becomes more and more unhealthy, if one day I..." Chang Bing said. Without saying anything, he bowed his head and beat the clothes with a pounding pestle.
"If one day you marry Er Niu brother, it will be fine!" Gao Yu smiled and joked, "That's it for you to take your aunt and live with you."
"What?" Chang Bing heard the words, and immediately took a sip of water and poured it on Gao Yu: "Sister Erya, what are you talking nonsense? I hate it."
Gao Yu and several sisters all laughed happily, while avoiding, they said loudly: "Chang Bing, don't you know that Er Niu has always liked you, right?"
Chang Bing stamped his feet and said, "Sister Erya, don't talk nonsense. I haven't thought about it like this in my heart!"
Gao Yu smiled and said, "Haven't you thought about it? Others have been thinking about it! Besides Chang Bing, you are already fifteen years old, and you can get married in one year!"
"Oh, sister Erya, you really hate it." Chang Bing chased Gao Yu while scooping water from the river with a scoop and spraying it towards Gao Yu. Gao Yu and a few sisters were not to be outdone. They scooped water with their hands or with water scoops and threw them towards Chang Bing, soaking the clothes on Chang Bing's body.
The sisters were frolicking by the river, causing the people on the stone bridge on the river to stop and watch.
"His Royal Highness, let's go!"
On the stone bridge on the river, a group of well-dressed people arrived at some unknown time. These people all pretend to be businessmen, driving a horse-drawn carriage from the outer village into Langxi Village. As soon as they reached the end of the village, they saw a few graceful women frolicking by the river, and they couldn't help but stop watching.
The tooth-colored brocade robe boy who stood on the stone bridge and watched Chang Bing, Gao Yu and other sisters playing leisurely with a brocade fan was particularly outstanding. He had deep eyes, a tall nose, and thin lips like a blade, just right. Combine it into a cheek that exudes nobility. The young man was leaning and smiling, but his eyes were slightly gloomy. "Why are you in a hurry? Wait for me to look at it later. This Langxi Village is located in the southwest border and is not connected to the Central Plains. The folk customs are simple and honest, and the girls who want to come here are also unique."
"His Royal Highness, let's do business!" The man in black cyan clothes standing beside the tooth-colored brocade robe urged again respectfully.
"Isn't it a business for me to look at the scenery? Why are you anxious?" The young man glared dissatisfiedly at the man in dark blue clothes, and continued to stay in place without moving.
This young man was Li Zhengjue, the three princes of the Xia Kingdom, and his appearance was the most handsome among the princes of the Li Xun, the monarch of Xia Kingdom, but his methods were too vicious. The man with dark blue clothes next to Li Zhengjue is Nan Jialuo, the second son of General Xia Guo's Nan Li.
Nanjialuo saw Li Zhengjue looking at the side of the river, reluctant to move, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, this place is too far away, it is better to look closer."
Li Zhengjue was overjoyed when he heard the words. He glanced at Nanjialu with admiration, and walked quickly towards the river where Changbing and Gaoyu were. Nanjialuo left the convoy by the bridge and accompanied Li Zhengjue alone.
Chang Bing, Gao Yu and others often played and played by the river, and they would never have thought that there would be outsiders here. (End of this chapter)
