90 Days of Spring: Eighty-fourth day


As early as several years ago, Wei Ling traveled all over the country, which was nothing new to him. The only joy is Yaoyao's laughter on the road, her temperament is somewhat similar to his, she can't be idle. But this little girl is much more energetic than him, and she doesn't feel tired even after running for a whole day.

It was deep winter, and the scenery of West Lake in Yangzhou was amazing. The two arrived here by car, and it took a month on the way. It was early spring when I arrived here, catkins were flying on the shore, boats were moored in the lake, and microwaves were sparkling.

Yaoyao hasn't been in the water for a long time, and Dang even wanted to jump into the water, but fortunately Wei Ling stopped him in time, "I can't go down."

Her belt was half untied, and Wei Ling tied it back again, "Why?"

"It will scare others." Wei Ling simply explained, and now she doesn't understand it when I explain it to her deeply, but it is easy to understand. There are many literati and poets on the shore, as well as girls who accompany them. If they see her mermaid appearance, wouldn't it cause a big commotion?

Yaoyao thought about it carefully, and there are indeed few people who can become mermaids like her, so she pouted and compromised: "That's fine."

It was getting late when they arrived in Yangzhou, they had to find a place to stay, otherwise they would have to take her to sleep on the street without a hotel at night. Wei Ling was familiar with this area, so she didn't take the chariot, but walked directly to the East Street with her in her arms.

Yaoyao looked at the shops on the street, dazzled, and finally refused to let Wei Ling hold her, so she simply walked down by herself.

I saw a little girl wearing a light onion-colored smoked shirt and combing her hair bouncing on the street, touching the hairpin of this family for a while, and pinching the clay figurine of that family for a while, very happy. Behind her was a handsome young man, his eyes fell on her, and the corners of his lips were slightly curved with affection.

The uncle who sold flower cakes in front saw that she was delicately born and looked very pleasing, so he handed her a piece of warm steamed egg cake, and said with a smile, "little girl, do you want to try flower cakes?"

She looked up and saw a piece of golden steamed cake handed in front of her, exuding a sweet and glutinous smell. Yaoyao is not a greedy person, but now she was hooked on greediness, she narrowed her clear eyes and said with a smile: "Yes!" Then she stood on tiptoe to take it, and took a bite in satisfaction. There was a sweet and greasy taste between her lips and teeth, she stretched out her hands to take it carefully, and called out sweetly: "Thank you uncle!"

The uncle let out a hey happily, only thinking that this little girl is so cute no matter how she looks at it.

Yaoyao licked the corner of her mouth, happily ran to the next stall. After a while, her hands were full of food. The vendors along the way were very enthusiastic, but she had a flattering mouth, which made the uncles and aunts very happy.

Wei Ling followed behind her, raised the corners of her lips in a funny way, this little girl is really capable, she can be described as slick in all directions, and she has both sides.

She ran back to Wei Ling and invited with a smile: "Uncle Wei Ling, do you want to eat?"

Wei Ling raised her eyebrows, she was not very interested in these snacks and sweets, so she said without hesitation, "No."

Yaoyao pursed her mouth in distress, looking helpless at the pile of food in her arms, how could she eat so much by herself. When he was worrying about how to solve these things, he was attracted by a noise in the alley.

In the depths of the alley, four or five teenagers were kicking and kicking a figure, cursing some vulgar words angrily while punching and kicking. Yaoyao looked over there in a daze, the boy was beaten so helplessly, she felt pain for him, and anger suddenly rose in her small chest.

It's too much for a few of them to bully one of them!

Yaoyao wanted to go up to help, but felt that she couldn't beat them. Suddenly remembering that there was another person beside him, he quickly tugged on Wei Ling's sleeve, "Uncle Wei Ling, that person is so pitiful."

With no expression on Wei Ling's face, she hummed calmly.

Seeing that he didn't understand what she meant, Yaoyao couldn't help being anxious, "Shall we help him?"

Wei Ling lowered his head to meet her eyes, "How can I help?"

She blurted out: "Can't you drive them away like you drove away the big fish last time?"

Wei Ling smiled lightly, pinched her little nose, "It's not relative, why do you help him?"

She tilted her head, "Isn't there a saying that can be done with little effort?"

There is some truth to what he said, but he never likes to meddle in other people's affairs, this time for her sake, let's make an exception.

Those people were all half-grown children, and when they saw someone coming, they ran away quickly. Anyway, the fight is almost over, if it is escorted to the government, the loss outweighs the gain.

Wei Ling leaned at the entrance of the alley, watching the little girl slowly move over, holding a large pile of food in her arms.

The boy's body was covered with bruises and bruises, his cheeks were bruised, his eyes were closed tightly and he was lifeless. This appearance was really scary, Yaoyao was afraid that he would suddenly jump up and beat her up, but when she thought that Uncle Wei Ling was there, she relaxed her heart. "Hello!" She poked the other party with her finger, and said in a clear and crisp voice, "Are you still alive? Do you want to eat?"

The boy still kept his eyes closed, and did not answer. She took out a meat bun from the oil-paper bag and put it under his nose, deliberately seductively said: "The meat bun is delicious, do you really not want to eat it?"

For added credibility, she also took a bite to intensify the aroma of the meat buns.

When Yaoyao thought that he was really passed out, he suddenly opened his eyes, the pupils were clear and translucent, very beautiful. While Yaoyao was panicking, she opened her mouth and took a bite of the meat bun she was holding. Maybe he chewed it and found it was delicious, so he snatched the whole bun, and leaned against the wall of the alley to eat it.

Yaoyao laughed contentedly, and put the whole oil-paper package in front of him, "I'll give you all these, eat slowly, and when you're full, you'll have the strength to beat them down."

To prevent her from talking nonsense, Wei Ling picked her up by the collar, turned around and took her away.

Yaoyao lay on Wei Ling's shoulder, smiling brightly at the boy in the alley, her small white teeth in front of the door were full and moist, and she looked cute.

The young man lowered his head and devoured the food she left behind, without saying a word from the beginning to the end.

*

There are many inns nearby, Yaoyao is still young and cannot live alone in a room, so she can only share one with Wei Ling.

This is not uncommon, both of them came here on the way to the capital, she is just a little bit, and doesn't take up much space at all.

After Yaoyao finished washing, she lay on the bed bored, waiting for Wei Ling to come.

"Uncle Wei Ling, are you okay?"

She has been washing for a long time, and she wanted to go into the water during the day, so she deliberately stayed in the bathtub for a while at night, who knew that Uncle Wei Ling was slower than her. Yaoyao couldn't wait any longer, she walked to the back of the screen with her bare feet, poked her head to look inside, "Have you finished washing?"

Wei Ling just came out and was about to get dressed, but she didn't expect this little girl to be so impatient. He froze, quickly put on his robe, and said stiffly, "Go out."

Yaoyao blinked and kindly reminded: "Uncle Wei Ling, you haven't put on your inner clothes yet."

Wei Ling pursed her thin lips into a line, then she thought that she was still a child and didn't understand anything, so he could use it when he was angry with her. So he breathed a sigh of relief, and said thoughtfully: "I'll go out after changing my clothes, and Yaoyao will go back to bed first."

She stood there motionless.

Wei Ling raised her eyebrows slightly, "Do you listen to uncle?"

Of course she listened, Yaoyao thought for a while, and obediently got back behind the screen.

When Wei Ling breathed a sigh of relief and took off her outer robe to put on the mid laner, she suddenly appeared with her big eyes like two curved moons, "I've seen it all!"

Wei Ling froze for a moment, and was about to reprimand her, but the next moment she had already shrunk back.

It's really... not to teach people to worry.

When Wei Ling finally changed her clothes, Yaoyao was lying on the bed playing with a small cloth-stitched tiger. Her pink mouth was slightly angry, imitating the tiger's cry. From the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Wei Ling drinking tea, and she sat up abruptly, "I want to drink too!"

Wei Ling came over and handed the cup to her. She was indeed thirsty, so she held the teacup and drank quietly. The long eyelashes hung on the eyelids, casting a circle of dark shadows. After drinking, she shrank into the quilt, deliberately making room for Wei Ling, "Uncle Wei Ling is sleeping."

It was quiet outside the corridor, even the downstairs was silent, it should be getting late at this time. Wei Ling lay beside her, staring at her with her chin propped sideways, "What happened just now?"

It's over, Uncle Wei Ling wants to settle the score with her.

Yaoyao stuck out her tongue, she is a judge of the situation, she hastened to please him coquettishly, "I wanted to help Uncle Wei Ling take a bath, I didn't know you had already done it."

Wei Ling purposely elongated her voice, thoughtfully, "Help me take a bath?"

How old is she, how can she know how to help him take a bath? Those small arms and short legs couldn't reach his back at all, let alone do other things. Wei Ling didn't believe it at all.

Yaoyao hugged the pillow and shrank back, "Because you helped me today, Yaoyao also wants to help you. My mother said this is called reciprocity."

Wei Ling smiled unceremoniously, "Your mother actually knows what reciprocity is?"

As far as he knows, Miaomiao hasn't practiced any calligraphy in Donghai for three years, holding a thousand-character book every day to teach Yaoyao to practice calligraphy. Later, I didn't understand it, but Yaoyao was able to recite it fluently. It's not just a matter of a day or two that she is stupid, and she can't give any hope at all.

Yaoyao puffed up her cheeks, thinking that Wei Ling didn't believe her words, "Of course I know, Aye teaches my mother to read and write every day, and she is already very good now."

After finishing speaking, I added another sentence: "But not as good as Yaoyao."

Wei Ling stared at her for a while, then withdrew her arm in a short while, "It's okay in the future, don't rush for a moment."

Yaoyao let out a cry, maybe she was tired from playing today and fell asleep not long after. She would only calm down when she fell asleep. Thinking of this, Wei Ling bent her lips and tucked the quilt for her.
