Phoenix Shadow Coming From the Sky: 5. Wonderful style. Bingbingyu 2

Feng Duying woke up in the morning of the second day, feeling no more headache and feeling refreshed. When he walked out of the room, he saw the two owners of the room.

Uncle Hai Yao is about fifty years old, his face has been blown into a black dry orange peel by the sea wind, but his voice is loud and strong, and he looks energetic. And his wife, aunt, is a white and fat woman with kind eyes and a round face that seems to have a three-point smile even if it is not smiling.

"The girl is awake, does the head hurt?" Seeing the wind standing up alone, the aunt greeted with a smile on her face.

"It doesn't hurt much anymore." Feng Duying touched his head, then clasped his fists at the couple of the Hai family, "I was lucky to be taken in by my uncle and aunt when I was killed in the sea. This kindness will be recorded by Feng Qi, and I will definitely repay it in the future." >

"Hey, what kind of kindness is this? It won't be inconvenient for anyone who goes out. As long as the girl and the son don't dislike it, just stay here." Go to the kitchen and bring out the food, and I'll fetch water for the girl."

Uncle Hai Yao smiled innocently, then turned around and went to the kitchen, at this time Yi San who was sleeping in the opposite room also got up, Aunt Yao quickly fetched water for them to wash up.

After washing, the four of them sat at the upper table to eat. A pot of stewed chicken, a bowl of fried fish, a bowl of tofu, and a bowl of vegetables. Feng Duying watched, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

My aunt saw it, and hurriedly said: "But it doesn't suit the girl's appetite? Tell the aunt what the girl wants to eat, and then ask the old man to go to the town to buy it."

In the wind and rain that day, Yi San came to the door holding Feng Duying, only to say that he was killed in the sea and asked to be taken in for a few days. Seeing Feng Duying in his arms covered in blood, wearing armor and holding a long sword tightly in his hand, the Hai family couple must have been terrified and afraid to take him in. But the Hai family couple lived by the sea for a long time, facing the vast sea every day, they developed an open-minded mind, and they were half a hundred years old, and they had already experienced the vicissitudes of life, so they looked at the two people who were in a state of embarrassment, and didn't ask any more questions. He hurriedly invited him into the house, boiled water, delivered medicine, and cooked. The hospitality was very thoughtful and warm.

After tidying up Yi San and Feng Duying, seeing the outstanding appearance of the two, the couple were amazed and knew that they must come from extraordinary backgrounds, so this breakfast was already very rich, just worried about the two People can't get used to this simple meal.

Feng Duying shook her head, and said, "One meal is enough, uncles and aunts don't have to spend so much." She came from a humble background, and knows the hardships of ordinary people's lives, and the meal on the table probably costs the whole family. all over.

The Hai family couple thought she was dissatisfied with the food, but they didn't expect her to say such words. After being slightly startled, they fell in love with this girl from the bottom of their hearts.

"The chicken is raised at home, the fish is fished from the sea, the tofu is exchanged for fish in the town, and the vegetables are also picked from the field at home. It doesn't cost any money, so the girl can eat it anyway." Uncle Hai Yao smiled. on the road.

"What the old man said is true." The aunt nodded again and again, "Since you don't dislike it, girl, then eat more. You are hurt, and you need to mend it." Feng Duying in the bowl.

"Thank you, uncle and aunt." Feng Duying took the chicken leg, and when he raised his head, he met Yi San's gaze, and couldn't help being slightly startled. There was a smile and admiration in those eyes, as well as an inexplicable tenderness.

It's just that Yi San quickly looked away, picked up the bowl and chopsticks, and greeted with a smile: "Eat."

One meal, all four of them ate deliciously.

After breakfast, the aunt really brought another bowl of medicine, Feng Duying glanced at Yi San, who smiled gently. Reluctantly, she had to hold her breath to drink again, but before drinking the medicine, she poured a bowl of boiling water beside her, and as soon as the medicine bowl was put away, she quickly picked up the boiling water and rinsed her mouth. She drank too quickly and choked, and couldn't help coughing.

"Drink slowly, girl." The aunt looked at her and couldn't help but step forward to pat her on the back, "You're so impatient, you'll choke on your saliva."

Yi San looked at him, shaking his head and sighing.

Feng Duying drank a few more sips before she stopped coughing. She was not used to the thick palms slapped on her back, so she avoided it without a trace, and then put the bowl in the hands of the auntie, "Thank you, auntie."

"No thanks, no thanks." The aunt took the bowl, "What would you like to have for lunch, Miss? The old man sold out all the fish he caught yesterday, but there are still some crabs. How about having crabs for lunch?"

"Okay." Feng Duying nodded, then got up and walked out of the house.

Outside the house, Uncle Hai Yao was pushing the fishing boat out of the sea. He saw her coming out and grinned at her. His dark face was wrinkled like a thin chrysanthemum, simple and warm, so Feng Duying couldn't help but look back. He smiles.

Watching Uncle Hai Yao drive away in the boat, she walked around the wooden house a few times at random, and then sat down in front of the eaves. She has been in the army for many years, and she has never been so leisurely. Staying in this strange place and looking at the strange sea, she is quite at a loss.

Yi San came out and saw her sitting on the steps in a daze, she stood there for a moment, then said: "I'm going to the town, you can come with me."

Feng Duying looked up at him suspiciously.

Yi San didn't wait for her to answer, he greeted the aunt in the room, and stepped forward, "Let's go."

Feng Duying thought that instead of sitting here doing nothing, he might as well go out for a walk, so he followed Yi San.

The two were walking on the road. At first, Yi San walked in front, Feng Duying followed, but after walking for a while, it became Feng Duying in front, and Yi San in the back.

Looking at Feng Duying with his head up and chest up, his figure straight, striding forward, that posture is not for a stroll, but for a court meeting.

"You don't need to go so fast." Yi San stretched out his hand to hold her.

Feng Duying was pulled by him and couldn't help but stop.

"It's only a few miles to the town, and it will take less than half an hour." Yi San seemed to know that Feng Duying didn't like being touched by others, so he let go of his hand quickly and pointed to both sides of the road, "Anyway We're just wandering, so it's not bad to see the scenery along the way."

There are many wild chrysanthemums growing on both sides of the road. The yellow and white ones are dotted among the clumps of weeds. A few cattle and sheep are grazing on the grass. There are a few men working in the field with bare arms and hoes, and a little farther away, there are women clucking and teasing chickens and ducks in front of those thatched cottages... The morning sun shines between the wildflowers and trees in the house, which is bright and peaceful. Lily, everything is full of life.

Feng Duying has seen this kind of scenery before, but he has never really seen it. At this moment, following Yi San's footsteps, walking slowly, watching slowly, under the beautiful wind and sun, it is true. I feel relaxed and comfortable.

"Oh, it's not good!" Leng Wuxi Yi San yelled suddenly, and then quickly ran to a tall tree several zhang away to the left.

Feng Duying looked away, and saw a bird's nest built among the branches of the tall tree. In the nest, three bright yellow birds were chirping, and outside the nest was a gray-brown long snake. Stretch your head to the young bird in the nest.

"Get out!"

Yi San ran and scolded at the same time, bent down to pick up a stone and threw it at the snake on the tree, but unfortunately he was too far away and his technique was inaccurate, the stone passed through the tree without disturbing him long snake. Seeing the snake opening its mouth wide, Yi San's heart tightened, and he quickly ran to the tree, and punched the tree trunk, trying to shake the tall tree to scare the snake away.

"Shushasha!" The big tree shook, and then the long snake fell from the sky. At that moment, Yi San was looking up at the tree with concern, so the long snake almost brushed against the tip of his nose, scaring him Slam and jump. After he regained his composure, he lowered his head and looked down at the pounding heartbeat. The long snake twisted on the ground a few times and then stopped moving. There was a blood hole the size of a fingertip piercing through the snake's body seven inches away.

He turned his head to look at Feng Duying, and saw her clapping her hands, apparently she was the one who threw stones and shot snakes just when Qian Jun shot. Looking up between the branches of the tree, the little birds in the nest seemed to know that they had escaped a catastrophe, chirping together as if to thank him.

"It's all right." Yi San smiled at the little birds, then turned and left, returned to the main road, and said to Feng Duying: "Young lady is good at kung fu."

Feng Duying ignored him, and walked away, like a proud phoenix, walking forward without squinting.

Behind him, Yi San shook his head and smiled, then followed.

The two walked back and forth, about a mile away, when Yi San suddenly said, "I smell the scent of sweet-scented osmanthus." sleeves.

In order to prevent the aunt's old clothes from being torn, Feng Duying had no choice but to stop.

Yi San looked around, then pulled her sleeves and walked towards the woodland on the right, Feng Duying had no choice but to let him lead her away. Walking along the way, the osmanthus fragrance became more and more intense. After walking tens of meters, I saw a osmanthus tree sandwiched in a cypress forest, with thousands of layers of green leaves dotted with stars and yellow spots, which is very eye-catching.

"It's just time to pick some and go back to make tea." Yi San entered Kaifeng Duying's sleeves, walked towards the osmanthus tree leisurely, took out a small cloth bag from his sleeve, and picked the osmanthus flowers with his hand.

Feng Duying stood still, looking at the person picking sweet-scented osmanthus in front of him, feeling baffled. Since you are going to the town, you should go straight to the town, and buy osmanthus tea if you want to drink it.

"You also come here to help." Yi San suddenly turned around and waved at her, "I make tea from the sweet-scented osmanthus flowers I picked, and it tastes very fragrant."

Feng Duying snorted, then looked up at the sky. She is not a three-year-old who will be coaxed by such words.

Seeing that she was not moving, Yi San said again: "You will live at the house of your uncle and aunt, and you will be penniless, so you will eat and drink for nothing, so at least pick some sweet-scented osmanthus flowers and go back and make a cup of tea for them." In order to repay their great kindness." Speaking of this, he turned his eyes, and a smile appeared on his lips, "Those who have money and money should exchange for food and clothing by their own efforts. There is no reason to get something for nothing. .”

Hearing this, Feng Duying was stunned, staring blankly at Yi San. "Earn food and clothing with your own efforts" she had said not long ago, but she never thought that someone else would talk about her today.

Come and help me pick osmanthus. "Yi San still smiled.

Standing silently for a moment, Feng Duying finally reluctantly moved over, even though she had never admired those women who pick flowers and smell the fragrance, and wear hairpins to add beauty.

"Pick off these yellow flowers, don't pick off the leaves, and don't break the branches." Yi San taught her while picking them.

This general is not a fool, doesn't he even know this. General Feng snorted again.

Although this is the first time for General Fengying to pick osmanthus flowers, her movements of picking osmanthus flowers are quite beautiful. I saw her glance, and then her fingertips slid across, and a handful of osmanthus was caught between her fingers. When she stretched out her left palm, she caught it in the palm, and then slid her fingertips, and another handful of osmanthus was in her hand... Repeatedly, with the left hand The sweet-scented osmanthus on the palm gradually turned from a pinch into a small pile, and the unwillingness to pick it was gone. I thought picking sweet-scented osmanthus was good, and I could practice "flicking fingers". Peace of mind and lightness. Therefore, in the end, she picked faster and more than Yi San, because Yi San was not as good as her in terms of her pace or the agility of her fingers, and she only needed to jump lightly to pick up the flowers that grew on high places. Hold it in the palm of your hand.

When Yi San shouted "Enough", she took a look at the pile of sweet-scented osmanthus in her skirt, and then saw that Yi San's cloth bag was less than one-third full. General Feng raised his chin and said, "Turn back. After making tea, you only have one cup, and the rest are mine and my uncle's."

Yi San looked at her and couldn't help laughing, and said: "If these sweet-scented osmanthus flowers are made into tea, they will be enough for a month, so you don't need so many. The bunch you picked will ask your aunt to make sweet-scented osmanthus cakes."

General Feng looked at the sweet-scented osmanthus flowers in his bag, and thought it would be good to make sweet-scented osmanthus cakes, but on second thought, since you don't need a lot to make tea, why ask her to pick them? Is she being tricked?

When she was thinking this way, Yi San had already put all the sweet-scented osmanthus she was carrying into a cloth bag, and then picked a branch from the sweet-scented osmanthus tree and stuck it on Feng Duying's black hair, "This is you A thank you gift for helping pick osmanthus flowers." The branch of green leaves faced each other, with three osmanthus flowers sandwiched in the middle, plain and unpretentious, contrasting with Feng Duying's simple attire at the moment.

Feng Duying was stunned, but Yi San didn't wait for her to recover, took her sleeves and left, "Let's go, let's go to the town."

While being led on the road, Feng Duying came back to his senses, raised his hand to touch the sweet-scented osmanthus flower on the bun, hesitated for a moment, but finally did not take it off.

Therefore, General Fengying also became a woman picking flowers and hairpins, smelling the faint fragrance, but she couldn't find any unpleasant feeling at all.

******

Liucun Town is not big, in fact, it is a small town composed of six surnames and six villages: Haijia Village, Mujia Village, Hujia Village, Wangjia Village, Zhangjia Village, and Zhenjia Village. Naturally, there are some shops in the town, and there are also some small stalls on the street, and some villagers pass by. It looks lively, but it can't compare with the prosperity of the imperial capital, so it's okay for Feng Duying to walk in this town Novelty.

"Why are you walking so fast again?" Unknowingly, Feng Duying strode forward again, Yi San simply held onto her sleeve and said, "Follow me."

Ever since, Louis III never let go of his sleeves this time, Feng Duying had no choice but to slow down and follow. Ke Yi San is generous and doesn't care at all, Feng Duying even ignores those gazes, occasionally the phoenix's eyes glance over, those who collide with his eyes feel the cold light on their skin, feel fear out of nowhere, hurriedly bow their heads and never again Dare to see more.

And one morning, Feng Duying was dragged by Yi San to do many things that she had never done and would never do.

When passing the stinky tofu stand, Yi San asked for two skewers, and handed one to Feng Duying, and then led her to eat while walking on the street; Picking it up, he chose a few things to make gestures on her head, and finally picked a mahogany hairpin carved with a phoenix and stuck it on her head; seeing a storyteller, he dragged her to the side of the road and listened to two chapters, When the storyteller said it, he whispered another version in her ear; when he saw the silk shop, he dragged her in again and said that she should also make a dress, and she couldn't keep wearing aunt's, she must choose it. He was willing to leave only because of color; when he saw a group of children playing with spinning tops, he even pulled her to join in. This time, the humiliated General Feng forcibly dragged Mr. Yi away...

When she was hungry, Yi San took her to eat at a small noodle shop by the side of the road. Each person had a big bowl of noodles, and Feng Duying almost couldn't bear it. After eating the noodles, the two drank another bowl of rough tea provided by the noodle shop, took a short rest, paid the bill, and when they were about to leave, they heard a burst of crying.

"Oh! You young Li Mazi! You burned my embroidered screen! The Zhen family will get married the day after tomorrow! What can I do!" The woman's cry attracted many people on the street to watch.

"Go, go and see."

Feng Duying's footsteps that were carried to another street were pulled by Yi Sanyi's sleeves, so he had to take them back. General Feng sighed silently. Anyway, he had been dragging him to do a lot of things all morning, so this one was just a chance to join in the fun.

"I've been embroidering for a whole month, and I almost lost my eyesight to embroider this embroidery screen! Li Mazi, when your stove is turned down, it's all ruined! Oh my God, my poor Chun girl, what a shame! What should I do! God, you have bullied our orphans and widowed mothers too much! God..." A woman in the crowd sat on the ground and cried loudly.

"Sister-in-law Hu Shun, I really didn't mean it!" A young guy with pockmarks on his face next to him wanted to help her, but she shook his hand and struggled away.

"You didn't do it on purpose, but what about my embroidered screen? If you destroy my embroidered screen, my Chun girl will have to pay for the Zhen family! You killed it today! What can I do? Oh my God! My Chun girl is only six years old! How am I going to live!" The woman thumped the ground and cried loudly, with tears running down her face, very pitiful.

Most people around the crowd sighed, and some stepped forward to persuade, but the woman sat on the ground and refused to get up, just howling.

Both of them seemed to be unable to understand the cause, so Yi San asked a middle-aged woman next to him: "Auntie, what's going on?"

The aunt looked back and saw a man and a woman standing side by side, like jade jade on a jade platform, her eyes lit up immediately, and she hurriedly told them the details.

It turns out that the crying woman on the ground is called Mrs. Hu Shun by everyone in the village. She bought it for Hu Shun as his wife. Fortunately, Hu Shun is an honest man. He works as a gardener in Zhen's family in the east of the town. Although he earns a small salary, he can still support his family. Afterwards, he gave birth to a daughter, Chunniuer, and his family is happy and harmonious. But these comfortable days didn’t last long. Hu Shun got tuberculosis three years ago, and the burden of the family fell on Hu Shun’s sister-in-law. She worked from dawn to dusk, but it was a poor family, and the little money she earned was not enough for the family. Food and drink, and where would I get money for medical treatment and medicine, so I had to borrow it from the Zhen family. Seeing that Hu Shun had done a job, the Zhen family agreed, and borrowed thirty silver leaves back and forth, but in the end they still couldn't take it out. People stayed and died half a year ago.

Sister-in-law Hu Shun emptied her family and bought a coffin to bury the man, but the money she owed to the Zhen family hadn't been repaid, so she begged the Zhen family for forgiveness. It's just that thirty silver leaves is a few years' income for a well-off family, not to mention that Mrs. Hu Shun is a woman, where can she earn the thirty silver leaves? Niu'er paid off the debt, Hu Shun's sister-in-law kept such a piece of meat after Hu Shun's death, and taking it would be tantamount to killing her. The neighbors gave her advice and asked the old lady of the Zhen family.

Old lady Zhen is a vegetarian who recites Buddhism. Seeing Mrs. Hu Shun crying pitifully, and hearing Hu Shun say that her daughter-in-law is a good embroiderer, she gave a piece of silk and asked Mrs. Hu Shun to embroider an embroidered screen with flowers and a full moon for her grandson to marry. Use it as a debt. So Mrs. Hu Shun embroidered day and night. After a month of hard work, she finally finished her embroidery. She was about to send it to Zhen's house when she collided with Li Mazi, who was hurrying home, on the street. Li Mazi didn't hold the burden steady either, the stove fell to the ground, the charcoal fire came out and landed on the embroidered cloth, burning two big holes, the embroidered screen was considered ruined.

After listening to the cause and effect, and looking at Mrs. Hu Shun crying on the ground like a concubine, both of them fell silent. When Feng Duying was thinking about whether to go to the street and find a rich man to touch thirty silver leaves to help Mrs. Hu Shun, she saw Yi San walking over, knelt down and said gently to Mrs. Hu Shun on the ground: "Sister-in-law, don't cry!" , I have a way to help you."

Hearing this, Mrs. Hu Shun raised her head, looked at a man who looked like a **** with blurred eyes, and stopped crying in surprise.

Yi San picked up the embroidered cloth on the ground, and saw a golden full moon embroidered on the top of the white silk cloth, and a cluster of red peonies on the bottom, as beautiful as clouds. The black hole completely destroyed this beautiful picture of the full moon. He handed the embroidered cloth to Mrs. Hu Shun, "Sister-in-law, you go back first, come here at Chenshi tomorrow, and I will give you a complete embroidery screen."

Hearing these words, Mrs. Hu Shun was stunned, even the people around her were shocked. One must know that Hu Shun's sister-in-law had embroidered this embroidery screen for a month, even if she embroidered another one, it would not be possible to finish it in a day, so I wonder if this young master has any way to return Hu Shun's sister-in-law a complete embroidery screen.

"Sister-in-law, trust me, I will give you an identical embroidered screen tomorrow." Yi San smiled.

When a smile appeared on that handsome face, it was like a promise given by the gods, and it comforted Mrs. Hu Shun strangely, so she nodded involuntarily.

"Come on, sister-in-law get up." Yi San helped Mrs. Hu Shun, and then looked at the crowd, "Is there any neighbor to send sister-in-law home."

"Sister-in-law Hu Shun, my aunt will take you back." Suddenly a woman stepped forward to support Mrs. Hu Shun, persuading her as she walked, "There is an old saying that 'the boat will go straight when it reaches the bridge', the embroidery screen is ruined and you cry I can't cry, so I might as well believe what this young master said first. When I turn around, my aunt will also find a way to find her neighbors, and I can't let Chun Niuer be dragged to the Zhen family."

Seeing Mrs. Hu Shun leave, the crowd also dispersed.

"How do you want to give someone an identical embroidered screen?" Feng Duying looked at Yi San curiously.

Yi San turned his head, sized her up, smiled and said nothing. Turning around, he took her to buy some silk thread, rented a big embroidery frame, and went back to Haijia Village with her.
