There was a sudden thunder, and the dullness in the air suddenly dispersed. In the rainy summer night, Zhou Yu's face remained normal, with a smile on his lips. She walked under the whirling rain curtain, slowly and slowly. The cool raindrops did not leave any wet marks on his body. The rain stains were like oil paper, dripping down her cheeks and clothes.
Maybe it¡¯s because I¡¯ve been lonely for too long, maybe those words have been brewing in my heart for too long
It feels really good to meet someone you can talk to.
After returning home, Zhou Yu changed out of her wet clothes. After taking a hot bath, she wore a thin shirt and came to the door of the backyard. He took out a cotton pad and placed it at the door, sitting on it and looking into the courtyard.
Under the heavy rain, the jujube trees swayed in the wind and rain, and their branches and leaves flew.
A few green dates flew down and landed on a small bag of earth under the date tree.
For many years, she sat in front of the court like this, quietly watching the night rain scene alone. She always felt that someone was whispering to her in the rustling rain, telling her the little things in front of her door; she always felt that in the hazy rain curtain, under that tree, someone looked at her and stayed with herforever, forever-
There was a rain, as if it was just yesterday.
There is a person who never seems to leave-
Watching with rapt attention, every little bit about Xiao Yi came to mind again and appeared clearly in front of Zhou Yu's eyes.
Fifty years ago:
"Xiao Yi, why do you always like this tree?"
"Because, I planted this with my parents when I was a child. My parents left, and I only have it left."
"No, no, Xiao Yi still has me. I will never leave Xiao Yi."
"Thank you, Ayu~"
Five years later, spring
"Xiao Yi, stop looking, I'm tired of it! It's still spring, and it will take a long, long time to wait for this tree to bear fruit"
"Oh my, Ayu is so impatient. By the way, you are a monster, you are very powerful! Can you make this tree bear fruit all year round, so that we can have many, many dates to eat." Xiao Yi said with a look on his face. Smiling yearningly, the green leaves were as bright as that time: "If there are a lot of dates, we won't be hungry even if there is no rice~"
"Idiot! Xiao Yi is an idiot and doesn't want to eat any dates."
Looking at the rice vat in the kitchen that had been eaten clean by rats, she ran to Xiao Yi in a panic: "No, no, no, Xiao Yi, we have no food!!!"
"qq!!! Did Ayu eat it secretly? It's obviously enough for one day."
"It's a mouse! They were all eaten by mice yesterday" She defended loudly. Seeing Xiao Yi's disbelieving eyes, she ran into the kitchen angrily and caught a round-bellied mouse in front of Xiao Yi: "That's the guy!"
"Woooo we have no food to eat, Ayu and we have no food to eat." Xiao Yi, who had always been calm, finally panicked at this moment.
"Xiao Yi, do you want me to go out and 'get' some? Although I'm not very good, these little things are still no problem."
"No! I'll think of a way" Xiao Yi calmed down her panic expression and turned her attention to the rat that was moving around in her hand. As she looked at it, her original expression of disgust turned into coveting: " Ayu, although the rice is gonebut we have meat to eat!"
"Xiao Yi, everyone else has gone to plant crops. Our fields have been taken away by the villagers. Will there be no food this year?" The two of them squatted in front of the door and watched blankly as the villagers walked towards the house carrying hoes. My own farm. Xiaoyi's family's fields were rented by her father from the village. Her father went out to fight and never came back, so the villagers took the fields back.
"Yeah, without fields, we can't plant crops, and without crops, we have nothing to eat." Xiao Yi frowned, looking at her restless movement around him, Xiao Yi seemed to have made up his mind: "We won't plant any crops." The crops are here, let¡¯s open a small shop! By the way, let¡¯s open a rice shop so we won¡¯t run out of rice.¡±
"Xiao Yi, I found a lot of wood. See if there is anything we can use."
She came to Xiao Yi carrying a few small pieces of wood.
"No, no, we have to make it thicker. We are going to make a counter. This won't work." Xiao Yi, who was working hard to flatten the wood, wiped her sweat and put away a few larger pieces of wood in her hand. The counter, rice Trough racks, signboards, price tags Slowly and slowly, Xiao B made all of these.
"Ayu, go to the house and get the gold ring that mother left behind. We will sell it later!"
"Why, Xiao Yi, isn't this the dowry your mother left for you?"
"Idiot, if you don't sell it, I will??I don't even have any money to buy rice. "
"Xiao Yi, do we really not need to go hungry after the store opens?"
"It's definitely possible. I'm very powerful. As long as our store opens, many, many people will come."
Ten years later
"Xiao Yi, there are not many people at all." She looked at the few guests and said to Xiao Yi in the small courtyard.
"Ah, what does it matter? Anyway, everything is solved by eating, so, my decision was very wise!" At this moment, Xiao Yi is already a mature and beautiful woman, but her smile is still the same as before, just like the two of them just now When we met, they smiled brightly and were so innocent.
"Hey, Ayu, do you think the jujube trees will bear fruit earlier this year? I really want to eat them~"
"Xiao Yi, stop dreaming and wake up quickly~~"
"Damn it! Why are there no jujube trees that bear fruit in all seasons?!"
"Hmph, even if there is one, are you willing to replace it?"
"Idiot Ayu, who said I have to change? I can plant another one next to it! Ah, in this case, I can eat two flavors of dates." She raised her head yearningly and looked towards the date tree. , like preparing for the future,
¡¡
Actuallyshe didn't like those dates at first, she always spit them out, and Xiao Yi never got angry.
Until one day, she saw Xiao Yi being bullied for a few dates, and she never spat it out again.
Human beings are always going to die
What it knows is that in the face of time, people are too fragile and too insignificant.
It¡¯s just that Xiao Yi was in too much pain before leaving She could only watch, helpless.
?Perhaps it was her own misfortune that affected her.
Luck rarely favors me When I was very young, I was on a cliff when I came out of the egg, and I survived after falling almost to death. As you grow older, there will always be no results in your cultivation Others have become spiritual beings, but your own cultivation has not yet yielded any results. It seemed that something was hindering her progress, something that didn't want her to become a real monster.
She is so unlucky.
??You will be hit by falling trees when walking, and struck by lightning on rainy days
¡¡
Because Xiao Yi is not married, gangsters in the village often come to trouble them. The people in the village don't care about it and let it go. Maybe to them, if this woman doesn't get married, she doesn't abide by women's ethics and rules!
"Ahem, Ayu, do you think people will turn into ghosts after death?" On the hospital bed, Xiao Yi, who was only thirty years old, already had an air of twilight. Perhaps she had been suffering from illness for too long. Her expression Always so pale.
She can no longer see that smile as bright and green as leaves.
"Xiao Yi, Xiao Yi, stop talking, you won't die, I will find a doctor for you right now, you will be fine!"
"Oh, it would be great if I could become a ghost" Xiao Yi said softly, with regret on her pale face. She looked at the man in front of her lonely, her eyes were red, and she was crying for her. If possible, she hoped that she could live longer and stay with her for a while. But she knew that she had reached the end of her life.
Or you can turn into a ghost so that you can take care of her for a while
The village doctor will not come. This village does not welcome aliens or those who do not follow the rules.
"Now, Ayu. In fact, beauty is not a happy thing. Beautiful things will only make others possessive. If you can't let them get their wish, they will destroy this beauty. Many people They like the moment when beauty is destroyed and trampled, maybe this is pleasure for them" Xiaoyi took Yu's arm and whispered softly. Finally, she whispered inaudibly: "Ayu Don't look like a girl in the future. When Ayu has a friend to whom you can express your feelings, show him your face Just show your good looks to the people you like."
"Or, when Ayu really becomes stronger, he will no longer have to be afraid of other monsters. In that way, Ayu will not have to care about other people's opinions. When the time comes, he will live with my wantonness. He will never have to care about it anymore. Rules, you no longer have to accommodate others, as long as you are happy."
Ayu is a monster, she knows it.
Ayu is a very weak monster, and she knows it, even though she always shows off her strength in front of herself.
It is not a lucky thing in itself for a weak and powerless person or monster to be so beautiful.
Just like her
¡¡
Xiao Yi died, and from then on the two girls in the shop disappeared, leaving only him.
A bad business is even worse
Fast forward fifty years, until now.
The rain keeps falling, the jujube trees are overflowing with fruits, and the green leaves are making the sound of rain.
"Xiao Yi, good night."
At the door, the girl lying on the cotton mat looked tired and said hello in a low voice.
Maybe the years have passed, maybe the person in the past is gone, but the warmth remains in my heart.
