Chapter 2 Autumn Breeze and White Dew
Chapter 2: Autumn Wind and White Dew ()
"Hello, grandma, I am a student from outside the mountain. I want to stay in Gui Village for a while. I just heard from the villagers that you have an available room at home. Do you have any more?" Gao Zhan politely came to the somewhat old four-poster wooden bed and said sincerely to the old man who was half lying on the bed with his back on the bed.
The old man on the bed was skinny and half of his gray hair. His face was full of deep wrinkles. His face was an unhealthy dish with long illnesses in the bed. It was probably because his teeth had fallen and his cheeks had contracted into two deep chrysanthemums.
The old lady's mixed eyes were dull and dull. She looked up at Gao Zhan, and her mouth was clear and she said in Mandarin with a Phoenix accent: "Cough cough cough... Young man, you are from outside the mountain, I'm afraid you can't get used to it... Cough cough..."
"I'm used to living, old lady, the people in the city are not as spoiled as you think. Your village is beautiful and beautiful, and it's much better than outside."
"We have an empty room, but the conditions are too bad..."
"That's great, grandma, just have a house. I can buy other things in the village. Do you think the rent is more appropriate for a month?"
"Young man, if you can live, you can look down on the old woman. Why don't you talk about whether it's money or not? People in the mountains don't pay attention to this."
"How can that be fine? Grandma, how can I live in vain? Besides, if it is convenient, I have to buy some food at your house. You see, according to the standard of renting a house in Phoenix County, 200 yuan per month? Food is calculated separately, is it OK?"
"Young man, don't ask for money from the old woman, otherwise the old woman won't keep you, and you will fall in love with it."
"Grandma, I'm embarrassed to say this. I just walked all the way out of the village and I took a look at your location at first sight. Otherwise, if you think 200 yuan is a bit too much, then just get a little less?"
"Young man, the old woman knows that you are from the city and that you have good intentions, but you may not have been to the mountains and do not know the rules of our mountain people. In this remote countryside, no one has any difficulties. If you all use money to talk about it, then do you still have the affection between neighbors and sisters-in-law?"
From the old lady's conversation, it can be seen that the old man must have been a well-educated and virtuous woman when he was young. Just when he didn't know how to answer, there was a sound of footsteps outside the room, and a crisp and pleasant voice of a girl sounded: "Grandma, why is the door of the house open? Has anyone in the village been here?"
Before the sound could be finished, a pretty figure walked in from outside.
Suddenly, I found that there was a stranger at home. The girl walked away again and almost ran into Gao Zhan who was coming to her. At first, she was stunned, and the girl staggered backwards, and then stood firm. Her face was beautiful, her lips were tender and red, but she showed a heart-pounding beauty.
"Why did you come to my house?"
"So this is your home! It's such a coincidence."
It turns out that this little girl is the pure and beautiful girl Gao Zhan met halfway up the mountain before.
Suddenly, he found that the little girl was looking at her. Gao Zhan smiled embarrassedly, a little embarrassed, "Hello, don't I want to find a place to stay in the village? I didn't expect that I would find your home just by looking for it."
"Lulu is back! I think this young man is a good man and has a good attitude, so I let him stay in our house." Although the old lady was ill in bed, she was obviously the boss of the family.
"Hello." The little girl smiled sweetly, put the basket on the corner of the wall, and brought a small pony to Gao Zhan.
"Thank you!" Gao Zhan took the pony, but out of politeness, he did not sit down.
"Lulu, go and clean the guest house in the west and let the young man settle down first. Seeing that he was sweating heavily and his body was soaked. After cleaning up, you take it to the salt well to the back mountain to soak it. The coldness in the mountains is heavy. Don't get cold and get the disease."
"Grandma, thank you. I haven't asked you for your surname yet." Gao Zhan bowed slightly politely to the old woman on the bed.
"After all, I am a child in the city, a well-educated and polite person. The old woman's husband's name is Bai, so just call me Grandma Bai."
"Grandma Bai, you seem to be in poor health, so I won't disturb you from resting. I'll ask your granddaughter to take me to clean up the house."
"Go and go, you won't get used to it when you get old...Ahem..."
After coming out of the inner room where Grandma Bai was bedridden, Gao Zhan looked at Lulu, who was leading the way for him in front of him, and took the initiative to chat with her, "Little sister, please trouble you. If I guess correctly, is your name Bailu or Bailulu?"
Lulu stopped a little, turned around and looked at Gao Zhan, immediately turned around, pulled the corner of her clothes shyly, and asked in a low voice: "Are people outside the mountain as smart as you?"
"How can this be called clever? Little sister, don't you mind calling you Lulu like your grandma?" Gao Zhan carried the Adidas mountaineering bag in one hand and walked to Lu who was one and a half shorter than him until Lu appeared on his chest. He looked down at her, and glanced at the little girl's snow-white and slender neck out of the corner of his eyes, making his smile as friendly as possible.
It seemed that Gao Zhan was a little embarrassed to see Gao Zhan's naked and hot eyes. Lulu pulled the corner of her clothes hard, turned around, and blushed and said softly: "Only my grandmother can call her nickname, you can only call her scientific name Bailu."
"White dew is white dew." Gao Zhan said with a bright smile: "The autumn wind and white dew are dry, since it is when you cry. How to go to spring, chirping all over the courtyard. Your name is very good."
"The white dew has dried in the autumn wind, since it was when it was crying. How can we go up to the spring day and chirping in the courtyard?" Bai Lu murmured and quietly, suddenly looking up at Gao Zhan, "Whose poem is this?"
"If you read the "Complete Tang Poetry" by Liu Yuming of the Tang Dynasty poet, you will know it." Gao Zhan raised his head and smiled and said, "What time are you in the first day now? You usually don't teach this poem in junior high school."
When he heard Gao Zhan mention going to school, Bai Lu's pure eyes were so dark that he couldn't help but feel sad. He walked past Gao Zhan and walked towards the west room.
This is a square earth-walled house with a total area of twenty square meters, with only a paper-paste wooden window, so the lighting effect is not very ideal. There is an old wooden bed with carved wooden frames placed inside, with no mosquito nets hanging on the corners, and straw is covered with straw on the bed. There is an old desk next to the bed, and a high-backed master wooden chair is close to the gap between the desk.
On the side is a double door cabinet against the wall. A lot of red paint on the cabinet fell, and even one copper ring handle was left. Apart from the incandescent light hanging in the center of the house, it can be said that there is not even a household appliance.
"Haha, the space is very large, the air is smooth, it's very good, I like it." I didn't want Bai Lu to see the emotion in his heart, Gao Zhan laughed and said, "Bai Lu, are there any shops in the village? I want to buy some daily necessities and other things back."
"Yes, yes, but there are not many types of products in the convenience store." Bai Lu seemed to be afraid to contact Gao Zhan's eyes, and stood by the door and said, "You clean the ash on the straw first, and I'll take the cover of the quilt for you." After saying that, he no longer cared about Gao Zhan's reaction, and his soft waist twisted and disappeared from the door.
Gao Zhan looked at his temporary nest again, shook his head with a wry smile, then put down the mountaineering bag on the table, and counted out the things in the bag and pocket one by one.
Oppo Music Mobile Phone, ippomp4, imb-thinkpad-sl300 notebook, charger, matching photoelectric mouse, travel washing bag, an outdoor medical bag, three sets of changing laundry pants and socks, most of the fine white sand cigarette, a pair of Adidas sports shoes, and of course the bulging wallet with more than 6,000 yuan in cash and ID card.
At this moment, Bai Lu walked in with a set of quilts and bedding. Seeing Gao Zhan cleaning his belongings without cleaning up the dust or saying anything, she walked to Gao Zhan and stuffed the blue flower quilt and bed sheets to him, "Take it first."
After Gao Zhan put the quilt on, Bai Lu took off his apron, shook and raised a burst of slightly pungent dust and grass chips by the bed.
Not long after, Bai Lu took the quilt and sheets from Gao Zhan, layed it very skillfully, then took the quilt from Gao Zhan and folded it again, and placed it in the middle of the bed.
"I'm missing a pillow. I'll take it for you later. Prepare it. I've climbed such a high mountain and came over. If I don't take a hot spring, my arms and legs will be swollen and painful tomorrow. I'll take you to the back mountain to take a hot spring."
Gao Zhan felt a little excited. Bai Lu was so considerate. Just as he was about to say thank you, Bai Lu had already turned away.
He swung his clothes on the bed, took out a big shorts and put them on, carried a big towel, thought about it, turned around and grabbed mp4, Gao Zhan pushed open the door, and found that the girl was standing quietly at the door and looking at the far mountain with a faint expression. When he saw Gao Zhan's appearance, he looked expectant, smiled, led him out of the back door and walked towards the back door.
There were bamboo forests along the way, densely crowded, and only a distance between two people, the sunlight shone down through the dense bamboo leaves. When the breeze blew, the bamboo leaves stretched out their thin little fingers, as if they were tying the strings of pianos, making rustling sounds. The birds were crisp and mixed together, turning into a beautiful music. The wind was slightly stronger, and the bamboo tips swayed left and right with the music, as if they were dancing gracefully in the air.
Bai Lu lowered her head and walked without saying a word. The braids behind her floated around like butterflies. Perhaps it was the busy afternoon farming time, so there were not many people on the way.
Look at Bai Lu, then look at yourself. Gao Zhan walked a few quick steps and walked side by side with Bai Lu: "Can men and women take this hot spring bath?"
"Well. After we finish farm work, we will come here to soak." Bai Lu blinked Shui Ling's eyes and nodded slightly.
"Then, are men and women soaking together?" Gao Zhan licked Tian's lips and his eyes shone.
"Why do you think you have such a bad idea? What do you think?" Bai Lu pouted and gave Gao Zhan a big roll of eyes.
Gao Zhan laughed awkwardly, and his fantasy was shattered.
"What are you doing this time? Are you just having fun?" Bai Lu broke a bamboo branch in his hand, and while walking, he was sucking the branches and leaves that grew horizontally. After a while, Bai Lu asked in a low voice.
"Well. I didn't pass the college entrance examination this time, and I felt that I had no shame to meet people, so I relaxed and prepared to take the exam next year." Gao Zhan also felt interesting, and was like Bai Lu's appearance and pumping bamboo leaves. Bai Lu said that he was afraid that the bamboo would grow faster and would block the road. When he mentioned his thoughts, he felt a little depressed.
"Is it difficult to read books?" Bai Lu stopped and looked at Gao Zhan in confusion.
"No, I'm too playful, otherwise I can still get a second-tier student." Gao Zhan looked at Bai Lu's black eyes and felt guilty. He glanced at the side unnaturally, and felt that Bai Lu was more difficult to deal with than his mother.
