Hearing my question, Qing Luo hurriedly walked to my side and said to me, "Thirteen, I don't know where I have been these days."
"Where have you been by yourself, don't you know it yourself?"
"I really don't know." Qing Luo looked at me eagerly and said, "Don't you believe me?"
Looking at Cheongna's face at the moment, I really can't doubt it. I know Cheongna's character, she can't lie.
When Cheongna was separated from me last time, she fell into the river. When she first fell into the water, she was still conscious, but drifted with the water for a while, and she didn't know anything.
"You have been sleeping for so long? How else could you not know anything?"
"Yes... I seem to be sleeping all the time."
Qingluo has been unconscious for a very long time. In the middle, she woke up vaguely twice, but each time she woke up only for a short while, then she fell into a drowsy sleep.
Cheongna didn't know where she was, who she met, and what happened.
"Forget it, since I can't remember it, just don't think about it. It hurts to think about it, but it's useless." I sighed, what happened to Qingluo is also very strange, but these things can't be found. The answer, just thinking about it out of thin air, I can't think of it all my life: "As long as people are okay."
"Yeah." Qing Luo nodded, pursed her lips and smiled, following me tightly all the time.
"You seem to be much younger now than before, haven't you noticed it yourself?"
"No." Qing Luo touched her face. She fell asleep for so long. When she woke up, she was picked up by me from the strange ship. She hadn't had time to look in the mirror yet.
I took her to the place where the boat was docked, and temporarily followed the current downstream after boarding the boat. While I was in charge of the ship, I was thinking about it. I don't know why, when I saw Qingluo's face that seemed to be more than ten years younger, I couldn't help but think of Laoguai and Lao Baguang.
Qingluo is young, but Laoguai and Old Bachelor seem to be much older overnight. I'm sure that Qingluo doesn't know them, but I don't know why, I always associate them invisibly.
I took Qingluo downriver for about 20 miles. There is a small town on the west bank of the river. The town is very small, but it is located in a high terrain, and it is not easy to be flooded when flooding occurs in previous years. , So more and more people gathered. There is a large piece of land near the town. There are villagers who grow melons and vegetables here. In addition to eating for themselves, the surplus goes to the town to sell money to subsidize the family. I couldn't bring Qingluo back to the original village, so I settled in the small town temporarily.
I still have some money given to me by the fortune teller at the time, which is enough to spend. I rented a small courtyard in the town and bought some simple furniture.
Qingluo cleaned up the inside and out of the house. I drew two buckets of water from the well in the small courtyard. When I mentioned the house, I saw Qingluo sitting at the table, facing the other side just bought it. The mirror was in a daze.
"What's the matter with you?" I said something to Qingluo, but Qingluo didn't say a word. I shouted again, and she recovered and turned her head to look at me.
"I didn't do anything. I just saw the mirror just now." Qing Luo touched her face again and said: "What you told me, I seem to be much younger. I didn't notice it at first. I waited to look in the mirror. … It seems to be so."
"Can I lie to you? My eyes are not blind." I see Qing Qing
Luo polished the mirror very brightly. Standing here, she could still see her reflection in the mirror.
Originally, Cheongna looked very handsome, but she was a little older. If she was more than ten years younger, she would suddenly look radiant.
"I look in the mirror, and I feel happy, right?"
"There is nothing beautiful, I just... I just think..." Qing Luo frowned slightly and said, "I just feel like I have forgotten a lot of things."
"What do you mean? Forgot a lot of things?"
"Yes, many things, these things, have left a faint shadow in my heart, but when I think about it again, I can't remember it anymore."
I couldn't help Qingluo with this kind of thing, so I persuaded her a few words. Qingluo wasn't a person who kept things in her mind. After persuading her, she gradually got better.
After staying in the small town, I also plan to rest for a few days. I have been floating in the river all year long, exhausted. Cheongna doesn't like to show her face and cleans up the housework at home. She really has nothing to do, so she gets some cloth, makes her own clothes, and accepts the soles. I spent two days in the small town. Although the town is small, visitors from the north and the south have to settle down here, and it’s a lively place to eat.
According to the rule of the countryside, the first fifteenth day of every month is the first fifteenth day of the month to go to the market. When the market arrives, people from all four villages and villages flock to the town. Some people sell things, and some buy things. The town is relatively small and can't accommodate so many people. Even outside the town, there are vendors of all sizes who sell everything. I wandered around for two days, and found this kind of day more interesting than sailing in the river.
Possibly, this is what people often refer to as the smoke and fire in the world.
On the fourth day we moved to the small town, it happened to be the first day of the new year. The town was very lively. I woke up early, turned the whole town around, and bought some gadgets. After going home for dinner at noon, I ran to the teahouse in the town and heard that Mr. Shu was talking about the book. The man was talking about the entire Water Margin. I was so fascinated by it that I reluctantly left the small teahouse until dinner.
Although it was dinner time, there were still some vendors in the town who hadn't closed their stalls, and they probably wanted to rush to sell the goods in their hands. I walked around a street and was about to continue walking, when I saw someone in a corner beside the road with a large box of foreign films, soliciting business.
That year, this kind of pull-out piece was a rare thing in the river beach. A big wooden box with two holes and a big cloth bag was wrapped around it. After paying the boss, I put my head in my pocket, and through the two holes in the wooden box, I can see the flashing pictures in the box.
The stalls of foreign movies are usually patronized by children. Although I am in my early twenties, I have been following my father and master to the river for so many years. In fact, I don't have much time to play. At this age, I still have a lot of fun. I cobbled together over there, and several teenage children cobbled together a copper corner and handed it to the owner of the movie film. Because they were short, they stepped on the stools to watch it one by one.
Every pull-out film stall has different pictures. If you don't see it with your own eyes, you won't know what is inside. The children watched for a long time, and they were reluctant to leave. The boss kicked them off for a long time before they were kicked off.
I watched by the side. When a few children came over, they were still not satisfied. I just took a fresh look. I saw that the sky was dark and there were no people around, so I planned to spend a small amount of money to be happy and happy.
.
"Look at it?" The boss is a round-faced man in his fifties with a gentle face. It is estimated that after seeing me standing by for a long time, he will solicit business: "It's late, there is no business, you give me a bronze corner. I tell you to watch it more."
"Okay, take a look." I touched a copper corner and came out and handed it to the boss.
"Come on, stand here." The boss took the money, probably because he didn't expect to be able to do business before closing the stall, his face was happy, he beckoned me to stand in front of the wooden box and support the bag in front of the box.
I got my head in. I didn't know if it was dark in the bag or if I wanted something else, I felt that my eyes seemed to be blurred.
However, the two holes in the wooden box quickly showed light, and the picture inside the box appeared before my eyes. I saw a woman, about twenty years old, with a face with melon seeds and a peach-hearted bun, her eyes were big and round, watery, and her appearance was beautiful and tight.
Although it was only a foreign film, the woman seen in the wooden box was like a living, beckoned to me inside, and blinked again. My mind seemed to be empty all of a sudden, it was all this young woman with big eyes.
"I ask you a word."
I watched, and I heard a woman’s voice in my ears. I didn’t know why, and my mind was more confused. I couldn’t tell whether it was the woman in the wooden box talking to me, or someone leaning in my ear. language.
"What... what?"
"You tell me where the jade top stove is, I will give you some benefits, do you want some benefits?"
My mind was really confused, but when I heard the three words "Yudinglu", my whole body seemed to be pierced constantly by needles. I shook my head vigorously and struggling to get out of the bag.
My eyes were still blurry, as if looking at a river that was constantly spinning. This kind of feeling, as if drinking too much alcohol, the body seemed to be flying, and there was only a little consciousness left in his head.
"Why? Don't look at it?" The boss looked at me and retreated so quickly, and asked after chasing after him.
I didn't even have the energy to answer him, and stumbled forward. At this moment, I didn't have time to have any other thoughts, but I felt thirsty and smoked in my throat.
The road in front of me was getting longer and longer, and gradually I couldn't see clearly the scenery on both sides. I staggered out for a long distance, but I couldn't find a place to live.
I was in a dream, not knowing where I was, and even forgot who I was. As I walked, I felt thirsty, and my throat seemed to be on fire, which made me extremely uncomfortable.
At this moment, my vague eyes suddenly saw a stall selling watermelons next to it. The watermelons were big and round, and my thirsty Qiqiao made smoke. When I saw these watermelons, I rushed on it desperately. I didn't forget that I took a copper reel from my pocket and threw it to the melon seller.
I hugged a watermelon indiscriminately, smashed it open with a fist, and opened my mouth to gnaw it. Watermelon is very sweet. It seems to be the sweetest melon I have ever eaten in my life. I ate such a large watermelon before long. It was not until after I finished eating that the fire in my throat was suppressed.
"Is the watermelon delicious?"
"Hmm..." I heard the melon seller asking me, and he responded casually, but after responding, I felt something was wrong again. I raised my head and looked at it with vague eyes, and my scalp immediately numb.
This melon seller is indeed the young woman I saw in the wooden box that pulled the foreign film.
