That young Yuntian was young, and his mind was really clever. He understood Shen Bailing's intention of helping out just by being startled, and said stiffly, "Yes, yes! I'm at Shen...Brother Shen's house, where can I go outside the village chief's house? Back and forth?"

Shen Bailing's words were of course a random make-up, but they were tricked, forcing the pungent village woman to change her words, otherwise she would be in debt for a long time. Taiping Village is just a remote village in the wilderness. A hundred qian is already the monthly expenses of a farm family, how can the village woman be so willing?

Seeing that Shen Bailing was serious about what she said, she immediately faltered: "This, this... I... The sun is so bright today, it makes people's eyes darken. At noon, I seem to have seen this little girl from the Yun family. My baby, but maybe I misread it in a trance..."

"I heard what the old man in the village said. You can eat more of this meal, but you can't talk nonsense. Auntie, although the sun is about to set, the sunlight is still a bit harsh. Since you are dizzy from the sun, you might as well go home Going to eat a few more bowls of rice is better than standing in the sun and talking indistinctly. Am I right?" Although Shen Bailing said this to the pungent village woman, her dark eyes But it swept across the faces of everyone.He was dissatisfied in his heart, and naturally there was a coldness in his eyes, and those boring villagers only met his eyes, and they couldn't help avoiding them.

The pungent village woman was tongue-tied, but she didn't know how to answer Shen Bailing's words, so she had to turn around and leave embarrassingly.The rest of the villagers naturally felt bored, and gradually dispersed.

Seeing this scene, the young master Yunjin glared at Shen Bailing. He insisted that he was a scholar, so he didn't argue with Bailing, but asked Li Shi coldly: "Did Yun Tianqing dirty my sage books? Even if he didn't do these bad things today, he still needs to be punished for his disrespectful behavior and disobedience! I will punish him when I go back and tell my father well!" Finished speaking Then he flung his sleeves and left.

Seeing that Yun Jin and the other villagers were no longer entangled, Mrs. Li breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly thanked Shen Bailing: "If it weren't for Brother Shen today, our mother and son would be kicked out of this Taiping Village. Alas, if his father still Now, it won't be like this..." Before he finished speaking, the circles of his eyes were red again.

Shen Bailing grew up so big, but he had never seen such a graceful woman who cried as soon as she said it. His mother, Shen Danqing, was decisive in killing, harsh and ruthless, and the female monsters in the Chao Country were mostly older than Aunt He, fierce and capable. , young and unruly like Hua Hongyan, Ruan Ci, the only human girl I know, is also naughty and cheerful.Therefore, just as Mrs. Li shed two lines of tears, he waved his hands again and again: "It's okay, it's okay... I just hate that aunt talking nonsense, and those people will only watch the fun and say a few casual words to scare them away." They don't need any money—ah, the usual money I just said is also a lie to them, so you don't need to give it to me."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Li pursed her lips and laughed silently.The little monkey rolled his eyes and said unceremoniously: "I didn't intend to give it to you, our family doesn't have any money at all." This is true, and it sounds quite sad, so Mrs. Li sighed , leaning down and stroking his son's head, said: "It's useless to be a mother...Ah, why did you have a swelling here, and again, did you fight with that younger brother, Brother Wang?"

Only then did Little Monkey hurriedly push away Li Shi's hand, shaking his head like a rattle: "No, no! It was Wang Zhangshou who first said that I was a wild child without a father, so I pushed him. I didn't fight! "As he spoke, he covered his head with his hands and ran back to the house.

Mrs. Li sighed again, she didn't know whether it was to Shen Bailing or herself, and murmured: "Those people in the village always say that our Qing'er can be mischievous, but he also knows that he is injured and hides it from me. See... I just hope that I can gain some more strength to raise him safely, and I can be considered worthy of his underground father..."

After that day, the little monkey of the Yun family finally knew that Shen Bailing had no malicious intentions. Although he still had two big white eyes when he met, the medicinal herbs under the eaves of the Shen family had never been poisoned again. A lot has happened.

Unknowingly, Shen Bailing and Shen Danqing had stayed in Taiping Village for more than a month, and those human Taoist priests who could fly around with their swords never came here. Shen Bailing sometimes thought of the scene of lightning and thunder on the lake that night, and even felt that It was a sudden dream, recalling living in Chaoguo and the woods by the lake during the interval of collecting herbs and sunning them, which inevitably gave rise to many thoughts.

Midsummer is here, the scorching sun shines from the tips of the leaves, and many bright spots appear on the ground, just like handfuls of copper coins sprinkled by God.The early cicadas drank enough tree sap, and with their bellies bulging, they kept screaming in front of and behind the house, disturbing many people's daydreams for no reason.

Shen Bailing pushed open the small fence gate of his own house, and carefully took out a few purple fragrant flowers in the basket. These days, the herbs near Ziyunjia have gradually become difficult to find, and every time he wanted to find some good herbs, he would even It is to search in the depths.Shen Danqing was recuperating at home, even with Li Shi taking care of her, Shen Bailing often thought about how she would not come back in the middle of the night, so she came up with a way to grow some herbs by herself.

He smoothed the roots of those flowers one by one, put them into the small hole he had already dug, and was about to cover the soil with a small shovel, when he bent down, he heard a soft "pop" sound, Something fell out of his arms.

The thing looked dirty and shabby, even worse than a dishcloth, but Shen Bailing regarded it as a beloved thing, hurriedly threw away the shovel and picked it up in his hand, and dusted off the dust very lovingly. He looked at the ball in his hand that was already The rags that don't look like a pouch look like the bright satin surface is still there, and the pattern of waterfowl playing with lotuses can't help but move in front of his eyes. As for the person who gave the pouch...he didn't even dare to think about it.Those slender phoenix eyes were covered with a mist of memories, showing a faint melancholy.

Suddenly, a lukewarm voice sounded through the fence, like a stone being thrown into a lake, causing ripples in an instant, waking Shen Bailing awake: "Is that the torn handkerchief you used to blow your nose? It's so dirty!"

Shen Bailing was startled, and raised his head, it turned out that the little monkey of the Yun family was standing on the other side of the fence holding a nest.His flowers and plants were all planted next to the fence, so the little monkey could see clearly at a glance, and Shen Bailing kept the purse that Ruan Ci gave him around all the time, and no one had ever seen it, and he just took it during the day I came out to feel for a moment, and then it was not stuffed before it was exposed. I didn't want to be seen by others, so I couldn't help showing some embarrassment on my face.

Little Monkey Yun gnawed on the cornbread and hummed, "Won't your mother make you a new handkerchief? They're so ugly and dirty..." He stopped suddenly in the middle of the sentence, as if he could see Shen Bailing's disdain for the old handkerchief. Cloth's Zhenai, although pouted, changed his words, "Then you can give it to me, and return it to you at night, my mother's craftsmanship is very good, and it will be as good as the new one by then."

Shen Bailing suddenly felt a little joy, looking at the little monkey with more expectation in his eyes: "Really?"

Yun Xiaohouzi had never seen him so urgent before, he was startled before he came back to his senses, rolled his eyes and said: "That's still fake... bring it, or I'll regret it!"

In the evening, Shen Bailing served his mother to drink the medicine, and went out to move the dried herbs in the flat basket back to the house. Seeing the western clouds hanging in the sky like a brocade, the mountains and peaks were covered with a layer of golden gauze at sunset. The returning bird flew obliquely into the forest, and couldn't help but stop and admire it.

The heat on the ground has not yet dissipated, and the children in the village are already running around. Just hearing a burst of laughter, more than a dozen children have turned out from the front corner of the house. Among them, there are men and women, all clapping and laughing. A child chased after him, screaming and running forward.

"Huh, look at me 'sweeping thousands of troops'!" Although the child was short, he carried a big broom on his shoulders, and he kept slapping and beating the group of children with the broom with many branches, which was quite aggressive. With his tiger-like posture, the few children who fell behind had been hit in the buttocks, so he put his hips on his hips and laughed loudly, with a very smug look on his face.

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on that thin and small face, and those big black and white eyes seemed to have a lot of melted gold in a puddle of water, making them more piercing.Yun Xiaohouzi just stood outside Shen's house. When he saw Shen Bailing, he still had a narrow smile on his face, but he put his hand into his bosom, and threw something over the fence: "Here, here you are!"

At this time, the children in front were not to be outdone, and turned back again. One of them stood in the distance and yelled loudly, and the little monkey waved a big broom and chased after it non-stop. The kick caused a lot of reprimands.

Looking at the figure jumping up and down like a little monkey with its tail chopped off, Shen Bailing couldn't help laughing. He lowered his head and looked at his hands, and immediately suppressed his smile, but felt more grateful in his heart.I saw a clean purse in my hand, and the silk satin that had returned to its original color was stained with blood under the setting sun. In the red waves, two waterfowls bent their necks and swam side by side under a lotus flower. The hand has been reworked, and the embroidery is much more refined, but even the broken parts can't be seen, which shows the ingenuity of the mending people and the painstaking effort.

At night, Shen Bailing lay on the plank bed in the outer room, although he was exhausted, he was very happy in his heart.He held the pouch that Li Shi had repaired and looked at it in the moonlight, as if Ruan Ci's heart had been glued together and placed in front of him, remembering the shyness when A Ci threw the pouch in his hand that day. , my heart softened into a puddle of water, and it was itchy as if a little mouse had been drilled.

So unknowingly, after a sleepless night, in the dream, I returned to the forest by the lake. The big rock in the forest was white and snowy, reflecting the moonlight. , the velvet flowers on that pair of light green shoes also fluttered up and down like butterflies...
