Record of Yin and Yang

The hostility in Shangyang County dissipated, but it was impossible for the common people to know the changes in their bodies immediately, and the city gate would not be opened for a while. After the rain stopped, Gu Jiu and Shao Yi took advantage of the morning crowd at the gate The officers and soldiers changed their guards, left the city in the old way, and returned to the village where the donkey cart was boarded.

On the way, the little paper people sat on Gu Jiu's shoulders and climbed up and down on them curiously. They lived a few days longer, so Gu Jiu was not willing to restrain them and let them have fun.

The two of them held hands quietly in the rain. Neither of them spoke during the journey, but both of them raised the corners of their mouths and peeked at each other from time to time. The air around them was full of sweet and greasy pink bubbles.

Gu Jiu still hugged his younger brother in his arms, peeking at Shao Yi once, he couldn't help scratching his head happily. The younger brother was nestled in Gu Jiu's arms, covered with wet hair, with a numb face.

After walking for a while, Shao Yi suddenly moved closer to Gu Jiu, and asked Gu Jiu with a blushing face, "Are you cold?"

Because the rain just now contained the air of nectar, although she was wet all over, but Gu Jiu didn't feel cold at the moment.He looked at Shao Yi's reddened ears, smirked, and just wanted to say that he was not cold, then met Shao Yi's expectant eyes, and suddenly nodded in his heart, "It's cold."

Shao Yi stretched out his hand, instead of just holding two fingers like Gu Jiu just now, he held Gu Jiu's entire right hand in his palm.Then Shao Yi looked ahead and coughed solemnly, "This way it won't be cold."

Gu Jiu squeezed Shao Yi's hand in response, and chuckled, "It's not cold anymore."

Gu Jiu was led away by Shao Yi, and the place where his palms touched brought a slight numbness all over his body. It's not like he hasn't held hands with Shao Yi before, and every time he went up the mountain after the rain to look for a thunderbolt tree, Shao Yi would hold hands when it was cold. He waited for a while, but at that time Gu Jiu was only grateful for his brother's thoughtfulness, unlike now, the gratitude exudes great happiness.

It was also raining outside the city, and the road was very muddy, but it didn't disturb Gu Jiu and Shao Yi's good mood at all. It's a pity that the road back to the village can be longer this time.

When they arrived at the entrance of the village, the little paper people had obediently hid in their pockets. Shao Yi took the initiative to let go of Gu Jiu's hand, regretting that he couldn't hold it for a while longer.

"The two are back?" A voice came, making Gu Jiu and Shao Yi withdraw their thoughts.

Gu Jiu looked over and saw that it was the head of the village, so he nodded with a smile and said, "I'm back."

When they left yesterday, they did not truthfully say that they wanted to enter the city, and the city gate was closed, and the people in the village knew that no one could get in. Gu Jiu and Shao Yi claimed to be wandering doctors and went around the neighborhood. I also believed it.

Seeing that their clothes and hair were wet, the village chief hurriedly welcomed them back to his home.The village head asked his family to boil hot water, and quickly cleaned up a guest room. He said embarrassedly: "The humble house is simple, you two will just stay for a few days, and leave when the road is dry."

"That's very good, thank you village chief." Gu Jiu glanced sideways at Shao Yi and smiled. One room was just right before, but of course it's better now.

Although Gu Jiu, who had just absorbed the nectar, didn't feel cold at the moment, Shao Yi was still afraid that he would be cold, so he asked Gu Jiu to wash first.After Gu Jiu brushed her hair and came out, the breakfast prepared by the village head's family was ready.

Gu Jiu wiped off his younger brother's hair first, and then waited for Shao Yi to come out to eat together. It was obviously gruel with pickles, but they tasted like delicacies from mountains and seas, mixed with a mouthful of sweetness.

The two didn't sleep all night, and went back to the room to rest after eating.

In the room, Shao Yi quickly grabbed the little brother who was about to get under the bed and threw him at the end of the bed, telling him to play with the little paper man, the little man bared his teeth at him, and then looked at the little paper man who stretched out his little hand to grab its beard , reluctantly lay down at the end of the bed, turned her stomach and began to take care of the child, and glanced at Gu Jiu from time to time.

Gu Jiu and Shao Yi were lying on the quilt, no one dared to look at each other, Gu Jiu scratched his fingernails for a while, and finally couldn't help it, and asked nervously: "Brother, are we going to talk to each other now? Are Master and Master the same?"

Shao Yi was quiet for a while, and then Gu Jiu heard Shao Yi's nervous voice, "Is it okay?"

Gu Jiu immediately nodded violently.

His silly and happy appearance amused Shao Yi, and there was a rustling sound, Shao Yi moved closer to Gu Jiu, and then closer, until the gap left in the middle was filled, Shao Yi stretched out his hand to hold Gu Jiu Nine hands.

Holding hands has exhausted all Shao Yi's courage at present, and he can't think of anything else to do at the moment, he only knows to hold Gu Jiu's hand tightly and focus on smelling the familiar breath of the person beside him.

Gu Jiu also leaned towards Shao Yi, and stayed close to him, then turned her head to look at Shao Yi, and smiled shyly with her lips pursed.

The two looked at each other face to face, and the atmosphere heated up. Just when Shao Yi felt that holding hands was not enough, and he should be able to do something, small heads popped out from the side of the quilt.

"Yeah?"

A dozen or so little paper figurines stood on the quilt, tilting their heads and looking at them innocently and curiously.

Shame immediately climbed up on the face, Gu Jiu and Shao Yi blushed at the same time.Shao Yi hastily blew on them, the little paper people were blown upside down, fluttering on the quilt, these blown ones, and the little paper people who were still bouncing on the little brother's belly, seemed to have discovered something Fun things came in swarms, pestering Shao Yi again, but Shao Yi ignored them and went to break Shao Yi's mouth together.

The babysitter was lying at the foot of the bed, calmly licking the fur messed up by the little paper people.

The very happy and sweet atmosphere just now dissipated completely because of the little paper people playing around.Shao Yi was so disturbed that he had no choice but to play with them, blowing and puffing his cheeks.

Hearing the happy screams of the little paper people, Gu Jiu leaned against the head of the bed and watched with a smile.In the few years since I met Shao Yi, such a scene would never have happened to Shao Yi. This young man who once advised him not to put too much emotion on the little paper figurine was just afraid of being sad. My heart has always been so soft.

The scene in front of him was too warm, with someone he liked beside him, and the warmth in the bed, Gu Jiu looked at it, felt drowsy, and fell asleep like that.

Seeing that Gu Jiu was asleep, Shao Yi stopped playing with him, pointed at Gu Jiu to the little paper people, and the little finger people were very sensible, covering their mouths and quieting down.

"It's time for you to sleep too." Shao Yi said.

After letting the little paper people fall asleep, Shao Yi approached Gu Jiu and stretched out his hand to put him in a sleeping position.But as soon as he approached, Gu Jiu, who was already asleep, followed the familiar breath and rolled into his arms.

Looking down at the handsome young man in his arms, Shao Yi looked around, and then, like a thief, he quickly and lightly kissed Gu Jiu's hair.Just as he was satisfied with his smile and turned his head inadvertently, he happened to meet the younger brother's eyes full of murderous intent.

Shao Yi felt guilty for a moment, then stared back confidently, and muttered in a low voice, "What are you looking at, your son will be mine from now on."

But in the end he dare not speak too loudly, he is very short of breath in front of his younger brother now, afraid that if he speaks loudly, the younger brother will hear him and fight him before going to sleep.

As expected, the younger brother didn't hear clearly, seeing the complainer carefully avoiding his eyes and hiding under the blanket, he flicked his tail triumphantly and continued to lick his paws.

This sleep lasted until around three or four in the afternoon. At that time, Gu Jiu and Shao Yi hadn't woken up yet, they were woken up by the crying outside the room.

"What's going on outside?" Gu Jiu sat on the bed sleepily, grabbing the clothes and putting them on her body.

Shao Yi had already put on his clothes, he rubbed his face, "Go to sleep, I'll go out and have a look."

Gu Jiu didn't answer, and walked out after Shao Yi.

There were three strangers standing outside the courtyard, two men and one woman, all not young, one of the men was an old man in his sixties, the other and the woman were both middle-aged, their feet were covered with mud, and their hands were Holding the coir raincoat, it looked like it was coming from somewhere else.

The middle-aged woman was pulling the village chief, crying and saying: "Brother, you must help me. Our family only has one child. If something happens to him, I will die!"

The village chief looked confused, and said anxiously: "Sister, don't cry first. If you have something to say, explain it clearly. How can I help you when you speak in a muddle? What happened to other children in your village? What happened to Guan Caijun?"

The three of them looked bewildered, they couldn't see Gu Jiu and the others, and were led into the house by the village chief.Gu Jiu leaned against the door frame and yawned, thought for a while and followed, but didn't enter the house, and stood outside listening to the people inside.

These three people are a family. The middle-aged woman and the village chief both have the surname Ji, and they are brothers and sisters. The two men, one is the woman's husband and the other is the woman's father-in-law, are both surnamed Zhang. They are not far from here. People from Nanhe Village.

Although Zhang and his wife are already middle-aged, their child is not fertile. The couple has only one son named Zhang Caijun. He is 17 years old this year, just the right age for marriage.

In Nanhe Village, there are several boys who are about the same age as Zhang Caijun, and four of them play well with him.

Half a month ago, Li Wende, one of Zhang Caijun's good playmates, suddenly had an accident.Unfortunately, he stepped on a trap set by a hunter in the mountain and was hung upside down on a big tree. He didn't know when he died, but from the day he didn't return home to when everyone found his body in the mountain, he had already died. It's been five days.

Li Wende's death nearly blinded his parents and grandma, and the people of Nanhe Village felt very sorry about it. After all, it was a young life, and they were the ones who watched him grow up.

Two days after Li Wende's body was found, another playmate of Zhang Caijun, Xue Ming, also had an accident. He fell into a deep pit trap dug by hunters on the mountain. The pit was specially used to deal with prey like wild boars. The sharp bamboo piece, Xue Ming fell in, and the bamboo piece passed through his back. Fortunately, he was found in time and was rescued to save his life. However, Xue Ming, who saved his life, could never stand up again in this life. Unfortunately, he injured his spine, paralyzed his whole body, and could only spend the rest of his life in bed.

The villagers felt sorry for the death of Li Wende and Xue Ming, and repeatedly told the villagers not to go up the mountain casually, and asked several hunters in the village to quickly remove the traps they had set up.

Then a horrible thing happened. After Xue Ming's accident, Zhang Tianlu, the third of Zhang Caijun's playmates, was bitten on his lower body by a poisonous snake that got in at home. His body was further damaged, causing his limbs to lose their flexibility and become very uncoordinated. Holding chopsticks became a problem, and his body would twitch from time to time.
