wooden words

"Sister, what are those monks knocking? It's quite interesting."

"Ring the wooden fish in the evening and ring the bell in the morning, it's a wooden fish."

"Wooden fish? Mu Yu? Hey, sister, that thing has the same name as yours. I'll tap your head too to see if I can make a thumping sound."

"You little girl is getting smaller and smaller, can you knock sister's head? Besides, I'm not a wooden fish, so it hurts."

"It doesn't matter, you are, hey, don't run away, big wooden fish, big wooden fish, big wooden fish, let me knock your head~"

"I don't want it, Xiao Yanluo~"

"Big wooden fish, do you see how my purse is embroidered?"

"Oh, this omelette is really craving, hey, why did you put the sesame seeds aside?"

"I hate it, Uncle Gu, sister is bullying me again."

"Father, I don't have a conscience in heaven and earth."

"You two little guys, hurry up and go to the study."

"Big wooden fish, you really don't know what I'm embroidering?"

"Ms. Ben's embroidery is so good, you can tell it at a glance, the moon and the stars."

"Then why did you say that on purpose?"

"Haha, I was hungry."

"Uh, then I'll give this to you."

"Why?"

"Satisfying hunger."

"Oh."

"Big wooden fish, long time no see."

"Little Yanluo, I miss you very much."

"Sister, Uncle Gu, where are you?"

"Don't come over, get down quickly."

"Xiao Yanluo, take care of yourself, I'm sorry."

"Do not!!!"

It hurt so much, Yan Luo took a deep breath, and felt the left side of his chest being torn hotly when he moved a little, as if a piece of flesh had been bitten off by a tiger.

"You're awake." Feeling a chill on her forehead, Yan Luo opened her eyes with difficulty, and saw clearly the face of the person in front of her who was both relieved and worried.She thought blankly, could this be a dream?

"Is it still uncomfortable? If you are uncomfortable, don't move and sleep a little longer, ah." Yu Mu looked at the pale person lying on the bed tenderly, the turmoil in his heart has calmed down a lot after these days, just Looking at this person, I couldn't bear to take my eyes off her face even for a moment. This feeling seemed to return to the scene when they first met.

It's really sister!

Such a voice, even with her eyes closed, she would never hear it wrong!

The tears couldn't stop anymore, bursting out of the embankment and flushing her eyelids away, despite the tears running down her face, even though her eyes were blurred, she knew that her big wooden fish was right here, right in front of her eyes.She wants to see her.How long has it been since I saw her face?She remembers clearly, but she doesn't want to remember clearly.Eight years, six months and seven days, one year and five months longer than the days when they met each other, a total of 410 five days and nights, which happened to be about the same as the time when they were separated from each other before their final parting. time.It turned out that they had grown up for so many years, and the time they spent together was as short and as long as the time they were apart.

"Big wooden fish, wow~~~" Yan Luo burst into tears, ignoring the heart-piercing pain of her body, a big wooden fish stood up and hugged her, all she knew was that if she didn't hug the person in front of her tightly, she really is going to die.

"Be careful of the wound, don't be afraid, Xiao Yanluo, your big wooden fish is here, it won't go away, be good." Yu Mu let her hug him tightly, but he didn't dare to use force with his hands, for fear of pulling her chest For the wound in front of her, she could only hug her vaguely, and pat her on the back like before, so that she gradually calmed down.

Yan Luo puffed out her hot air cautiously in the nest of her neck, fearing that a person in her arms would be blown away if he moved too much: "I knew you were not dead, you really are not dead."

Yu Mu is not so happy to find it again.This kind of joy is far more violent than the last time I saw the person in my arms after a year and a half.That was the first time they were separated. Since they met for seven years, the two have never been far away from each other. Even when they organized outings in school, they managed to stay together, but she did not expect that it was just an afternoon. At that time, her Xiao Yanluo took the train to the icy and snowy Shencheng, and only left her a vague letter:

My elder sister learned from my own experience, since my younger sister met her, she has been loved and cherished very much, and she has been taken care of by Uncle Gu and Uncle Liao. The luck of her life has blossomed in this world.Once upon a time, I went to the temple with my elder sister to burn incense and pray. My elder sister asked me what kind of wish I made so piously?I was evasive and just didn't answer.In fact, thinking about it, there is nothing unspeakable. All I want in my life is the happiness and well-being of Sister, Uncle Gu, and Uncle Liao, with no worries in every year.Now my sister is studying alone, the sky is high and the road is far away. I only hope that my sister will cherish herself and take care of Uncle Gu and Uncle Liao.I also personally feel the pain of parting, but my learning path is set, my sister doesn't like to give up halfway, and I don't want to be anticlimactic.The road to Shencheng is far away, and the schoolwork is heavy. I just hope that my sister will not go north to find her sister. Although you and I are far apart, the swan geese passing the book is enough to comfort me.The parting is short, and the days to come are long. After the reunion, there is no need to look forward.Yours sincerely.

If I knew that there would be no news for more than eight years after the reunion, I shouldn't have let you go to Shencheng in the first place, even if it was difficult and dangerous, I would have gone to find you.

Yu Mu closed his eyes, wanted to say "little fool" to her, and said in his heart mockingly, why are you not a fool, you have kept your heart for so many years, but you didn't have time to say it once, thinking that God really is Merciful, even after eight years of separation, I finally sent him back.

"Father, what does this mean, you let Xiao Yanluo go to Shencheng alone?" Gu Muyu read the letter in disbelief, she didn't want to understand a single word.Xiao Yanluo left?Alone?Where is Shencheng?And Jiangcheng are both three points of water, is it just a city away?

"What Yanluo means, if you understand, you can just stay at home these days and don't try to find her." Gu Sinian sat on the sofa hiding the sadness in his eyes. With such determination, even if he had thought of sending her away, the little things he had gotten along with for so many years were not fake. He couldn't let go of this little daughter who was so similar to him in temper, even if he arranged for her to live in Shencheng , just, just what?In fact, he doesn't know what to do?The two daughters were tired of being together since they were young, and the years of sisterly affection slowly fermented into love, and he just noticed something wrong from the more and more tacit actions of the two.But this kind of thing is wrong, but he feels that he has no position to kill it, because he, why isn't it like this?He hasn't had a sleepless night in a long time.

"I'm going to find her. Do you know where she is? Dad, tell me. I'll bring Xiao Yanluo back. She has never been out of the house alone. She will definitely be scared." Go to the door, forget it, if dad doesn't say anything, she can look for it by herself.

"Pa" Gu Sinian slapped the coffee table heavily, the things on it shook several times, and were about to fall down, "Gu Muyu, come back to me!"

Gu Muyu was stunned from the sound, and her father, who had always been mild-tempered, had never been so angry in her impression. She stopped her steps as if someone had pressed her acupuncture point, turned around mechanically, and stared at the staring man in front of her with wide eyes. her people.

"Father?" Gu Muyu seemed to understand something, pleading in his eyes, "It's all my fault, it's all my fault, it has nothing to do with Xiao Yanluo, can you let her come back, I promised not to leave Hers, you let her come back, I don't like her anymore, really." She knelt down with a "boom" and crawled to Gu Sinian's side, her eyes were only pity for Li Yanluo.

Gu Sinian closed his eyes sadly, "Mu Yu, what do you want Dad to do?" After he finished speaking, he stopped talking, and the living room, which had been filled with laughter and laughter because of the presence of the three of them, fell into a deathly silence. .

"But what can I do? I can't control my heart." Gu Muyu also leaned on the foot of the sofa, with his limbs casually placed on the ground, completely losing his usual gentle and generous appearance.

"Father, did you let Xiao Yanluo go?" After she finished speaking, she shook her head again, "It couldn't be you. If you love her so much, even if you know that I like her, you would still be reluctant to let her go. She went by herself Yes, right?" She looked like she knew it would be such a miserable look.

"It seems that she really can't accept such feelings. It's a good thing I didn't tell her personally, otherwise I would definitely..." She couldn't continue, she covered her face with her hands, and sobbed softly. It came out from inside.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Gu Sinian didn't care about his bewilderment, and felt for the first time that his daughter was really out of his mind.It turned out that they were in love with each other but didn't know each other.Gu Sinian suddenly wanted to laugh.

"Father, Xiao Yanluo is also your daughter. You can take her back. I am my elder sister. I did something wrong. I should leave, not her." She obviously didn't listen to what Gu Sinian said, and kept her Said his plan.

"It's cold on the ground, let's talk after getting up first." Gu Sinian stretched out his hands to help her. The moment he helped her onto the sofa, he felt like never before that he was really old, and he even helped his daughter. I feel a little hard to read.I'm used to the scene of Mu Yu and Yan Luo going in and out together and frolicking together, Gu Sinian actually felt very uncomfortable just seeing Mu Yu wandering alone at this moment.

"What did you do wrong?" Gu Sinian didn't answer her words.

"I..." Gu Muyu really wanted to repeat what she said just now, so that she might get her little smoke back, but the words kept circling around her mouth, but she didn't want to say it anyway.

"You keep saying that you did something wrong, but when it comes to your lips, you don't want to admit it at all, right? Because you don't think it's a wrong thing at all, you just want her to come back." Gu Sinian pointed it out bluntly.

Gu Muyu could only nod dejectedly, she couldn't hide it from her father, and she didn't want to hide it from him, "Dad, I'm sorry." She turned her head away after she finished speaking, not daring to look at Gu Sinian's expression.

"Stop it." He didn't want to hear it at all.

sorry?Is this really wrong?Can I turn it around just by saying I'm sorry?No, I'm sorry, I just want to comfort those who are sad about it, and just want to alleviate my sense of guilt.He couldn't remember how many times he had said sorry in his life, and each sentence was more feeble and useless.

"Mu Yu, how old are you this year?" He asked suddenly.

"Twenty, Dad, didn't I celebrate my birthday a few days ago?" Gu Muyu didn't know why her father asked this suddenly. Does it have something to do with her and Xiao Yanluo's matter?

20 years old, how fast, the yellow-haired girl who babbled and called him daddy has grown so big, she is slim, graceful and decent, and the quiet appearance of picking flowers and sencha is very similar to her mother.

"What about smoke?" He asked again.

"Xiao Yanluo is three years younger than me, and his birthday is after me, and he will be 17 in two months." What's wrong with Dad?Don't you remember the age of me and Xiao Yanluo?Gu Muyu forgot what happened just now, thinking that his father was too strange.

17 years old, what a coincidence, the age I met that person was also 17 years old, and it has been 22 years since I have been entangled with him, has time slipped so fast?Gu Sinian looked down at the space between his fingers.

"Father, do you think I'm too young to love someone? But I have a crush on Xiao Yanluo..." Gu Muyu rushed to explain that she was sincere and not adulterated at all.

"Twenty years old, not too young. Dad is already talking about marriage at your age." The person who is talking about marriage is your mother, but the one who keeps pestering you is someone else.

Gu Muyu lowered his head: "That's because Xiao Yanluo and I are both girls, right? Can't you accept it?"

"Mu Yu, you also know that you are all girls, why? Why did you fall in love with her?"

how could you do this?Do you know what you are doing?

I've wanted to do this a long time ago, and now, I'm not afraid of breaking the can, Gu Sinian, listen carefully, I, Liao Zhiyuan, like you, the kind of liking I want to spend my whole life with you!

Why?Why did you just fall in love with me?

I love you without reason.

what?

"I don't know why, but I feel flustered when I don't have her by my side. Only when she is within sight can I do what I am doing with peace of mind. If she is happy, I would also like to laugh out loud with her. She If I’m sad, I can’t wait to exhaust what I’ve learned all my life to let her show her joy. Dad, if you ask me why I love her, tell me carefully, I can talk about it for three days and three nights, but I feel that thousands of words can’t express my love Only then did I realize that there is no need for a reason to love deeply, a look, a smile, is full of love."

Gu Sinian lived for 39 years and felt that he was a joke.Obviously love is by my side, but I stubbornly refuse to admit it. In the end, I missed the life of three people and killed the life of the woman who loved him deeply, but I still deceive myself and others to enjoy the love of the person who has been protecting me. Extremely shameless!

When it comes to love, he is not as transparent as his young daughter.

"Father, I don't ask for your forgiveness, but I want to beg you to let Xiao Yanluo come back, okay? I can leave her, as long as she can be happy."

Gu Sinian, I'm leaving, if this is the happiness you want, I will grant it to you.

Si Nian, I know, you don't love me.How can you let yourself be unhappy?I look forward to your happiness.Let go of what you owe me, you don't owe me anything, go find your happiness, I have never seriously seen you smiling.

Uncle Gu, I'm sorry, I'm willing to leave, don't let her come to me, I hope she will have a happier life.

"Happiness? Can people who love each other be happy if they can't stay together?" The words of these four people were exactly the same, and Gu Sinian didn't know how to define happiness.

"What?" Gu Muyu didn't hear clearly, he spoke very softly, and didn't know whether he was asking her or himself.

"She left because of you. She knew that I knew she liked you, but the ridiculous thing is that neither you nor she knew that you liked her, and she liked you too." Gu Sinian didn't intend to hide it from her.

I like her.

you know.

She likes me.

you know.

She knows you know she likes me.

She doesn't know that I like her.

I didn't know she liked me.

You, me, her, like, know, don't know.The random combination of these words swung back and forth in front of Gu Muyu's eyes, almost making her dizzy. In the end, four big "she likes me" stayed in front of her, shining brightly, making her disappear all of a sudden. reaction.

"Little Yanluo likes me!" Gu Muyu leaped up from the sofa, not caring about wiping the tears off her face, she knelt down abruptly, looked up at her father, afraid that she had heard wrong.

"You heard me right, Yan Luo also likes you." Gu Sinian looked at Gu Muyu's pitiful look, fearing that what he said was a lie, and knew in his heart that the relationship between the two of them was not something he could easily cut off.

"Then why did she leave?" Gu Muyu got an affirmative answer, and immediately happily wanted to rush into the peony bushes to dance, but her dance partner was not by her side, and she was so sad that she didn't even want to touch the air.

"You think it's your fault, and she also thinks it's your fault. You want to leave in exchange for her happiness. Why doesn't she think so?" Gu Sinian smiled wryly and wanted to cry.

"Dad, can you forgive me and Xiao Yanluo? We are sincere." Gu Muyu still wanted to know his father's attitude.

"I said, it's not a wrong thing. Your love doesn't need my forgiveness." Gu Sinian forcefully stretched the wrinkles between his brows, "But, Mu Yu, Dad is worried, you are still so young, and you are both Girls, what will you do if Dad is gone one day?" Gu Sinian felt more and more that his wings could no longer protect these two children, and he became more and more worried about their future.

When Gu Muyu heard this, he curled his lips, held back the tears that were about to fall, and threw himself into Gu Sinian's arms: "Dad, what are you talking about? Why are you gone? You have to watch me grow up Big one, you are not allowed to leave."

"Silly girl, Dad will always walk in front of you. You and Yan Luo have been very sensible all these years. In troubled times, you have not been blinded. Dad is very happy. Let's go find Yan Luo. You are together well, Dad." You can rest assured." Gu Sinian patted his daughter on the shoulder, trying to make her stronger.

"Can we really be together? Dad, don't you object?" Gu Muyu put his chin on his father's shoulder, still not sure about his father's attitude.

"You two are fine, don't be afraid that I will be sad, Dad doesn't want you to be sad." Gu Sinian also choked up.Before leaving, his youngest daughter knelt down and begged him not to get angry because of her, and to remember to take good care of herself.These two little girls, why are they so sensible that it makes people feel distressed~

"Master, something happened." Fu Sheng walked in quickly, looked at the scene in front of him, hesitated for a while, and said, "The people from Shen Cheng didn't receive Miss Yan Luo."

"What does it mean that you didn't receive it?" The father and daughter of the Gu family asked in unison, full of anxiety.

"It means that Miss Yanluo's whereabouts are unknown now." Fusheng saw the expressions on the faces of the two who were about to swallow him, and his heart skipped a beat. "Our people are already looking for it, and I believe there will be results soon." Finally. The few words Fusheng almost said through gritted teeth, and the more he said it, the voice became smaller and smaller, and finally the sound was automatically muted.

"Father, let me look for it. I'm going to look for Xiaoyanluo." Gu Muyu wished he could fly to the provincial capital with his wings.

"Nonsense! You're a girl, it's not enough to cause trouble, do you want me to lose two daughters at the same time?" Gu Sinian held her tightly, and pressed her shoulders that were constantly shrugging due to excitement with warm palms , forcing her face to turn to him.

"Mu Yu, I heard from my father that you can't go to Shencheng. Dad will send more people to look for Yanluo. If you go, they will only distract them from taking care of you. If you want to find Yanluo as soon as possible, you can stay at home and wait for news Okay? And didn't Yan Luo say that she would write to you? She has always followed her word since she was a child, you have to trust her, she is so smart, she will definitely not put herself in danger." Gu Sinian I was afraid that she would slip away to Shencheng on impulse, so I had no choice but to suppress her with cigarettes.

Thinking of the letter left by Yan Luo, Gu Muyu really calmed down a lot. She just cared about it, and she was in a mess, and she knew that she might add more chaos if she went, so she agreed: "Okay, Dad, I'll wait for the news at home. Dad, you must be more Send someone to find Yan Luo!" Her eyes were full of begging.

"Father promised you that he will find Yanluo as soon as possible, don't worry, ah." Gu Sinian comforted his daughter and moved her to the sofa, then turned to Fusheng and said, "Send all the people that can be sent from Shencheng, at all costs." The price must be to find someone for me."

Fusheng repeatedly replied "Yes, yes, I understand, master." He was about to leave, but bumped into Liao Zhiyuan who was breaking in the door: "Miss Yanluo disappeared?" Ignoring Fusheng's incessant apology, he asked again, "Why did people go to Shencheng?"

Hearing Liao Zhiyuan's voice, Gu Muyu flicked it over, "Uncle Liao, please send someone to find Xiao Yanluo too, okay? She must be very scared in Shencheng by herself. What can I help? Tell me , I will follow suit.”

Seeing her flushed eyes, Liao Zhiyuan thought that this day is still coming, and said to her softly: "Young girl Yu, the most important thing you need to do now is to rest." Si Nian quickly called his servants to help him into the room to rest.

"You know everything?" Liao Zhiyuan's usual cold voice sounded even more chilling now.

Gu Sinian met his questioning eyes, "So you already knew? Why didn't you tell me?"

"Tell you, so that you can beat the mandarin ducks earlier, and lead to the current tragedy?" Liao Zhiyuan's tone of reproach was very harsh.

"You think I drove Yan Luo away?" Gu Sinian was a little disappointed.

"It wasn't you, could it be me? I knew it a long time ago. You are so cruel to yourself, can't you be cruel to deal with a little girl? But tiger poison is not a child, she has been your daughter for so many years, now Don't you feel sorry for someone whose whereabouts are unknown?" Liao Zhiyuan was aggressive, he didn't want to speak to the person in front of him in this tone, but he just couldn't help it, and he really wanted to vent his anger once.

"I didn't. Yan Luo left voluntarily." Gu Sinian didn't want to quarrel with him, "Why you left back then is why she left."

Liao Zhiyuan choked up, "That's right, this is that girl's style."

"If there's anything else you want to ask, let's ask together." Gu Sinian also felt very tired.

"How did you find out?"

"In the afternoon of Mu Yu's birthday party, the two of them were lying in the peony bushes. Mu Yu seemed to be asleep. I saw Yan Luo kiss her lips. From such a distance, I could also feel Yan Luo's eyes. It's full of love, to be honest, at that time I actually felt that such a scene couldn't be summed up by a single beautiful word." But how did it become like this now?He is also confused.

"So you found Yan Luo and questioned her?" Liao Zhiyuan recalled the horrified appearance of this person in front of him before, and still hopelessly felt that he was very good-looking no matter what.

"I found her, but I just sat quietly and looked at her. Yan Luo is really smart, and he can guess what I want to say. It was she who proposed to go to Shencheng. I... I Didn't stop her." How good would it be if she was stopped?What happened to me at that time?It's too late for Gu Sinian to regret it now.

"Of course you won't stop her. Because you can't accept the existence of people like us from the beginning to the end, and you wish we could stay away from your life, just like when I left Europe, you were stingy with even a few words to keep me .Gu Sinian, do you know that you are really selfish?!" Although the last sentence was a question, Liao Zhiyuan was full of emotions, leaving and coming back were like his one-man show, and he actually enjoyed it so much .

"I know, so it's my fault that I won't be happy for the rest of my life, and now I'm about to lose my daughter." Gu Sinian looked miserable. If something happened to Yan Luo, Mu Yu might also be on the verge of collapse. His momentary hesitation In exchange for the disintegration of the originally warm family, if this was God's punishment for him, why didn't it just happen to him, and make her two precious daughters suffer?

Liao Zhiyuan finally couldn't bear to see him so sad, so he changed his usual tone when talking to him: "Okay, don't think too much, I have already arranged for my people to look for it, Shencheng is not as big as Jiangcheng, so we can definitely find it soon Yes. Didn't you also say that girl Yanluo is very clever, maybe she has already met with our people, don't worry."

Gu Sinian looked straight at the person in front of him. After so many years, he was still insisting, he was still avoiding, did they really want to miss it like this?Are you willing?Won't you regret it?

"Liao Zhiyuan, I want to say nine words to you." Gu Sinian settled down, holding his hand with both hands.

Liao Zhiyuan hadn't heard him call himself so formally for a long time, and unconsciously raised his body.

"I've said the first three words to you many times, and I feel that it's meaningless to say any more, but I still want to solemnly say, I'm sorry."

"Si Nian, I said, between us..." But it's still the third word, it's really not necessary, it's my willingness, I'm happy with it.

"Listen to me," Gu Sinian interrupted him, "You told me not to say more about the three words in the middle, but if you don't say more, I will hate myself. Thank you." Gu Si Nian said and bowed deeply, Liao Zhiyuan quickly helped him up, "You have an injury on your waist, so don't do this, if you really want to thank me, take care of your body, do you hear me?"

"There are still the last three words. I know you must be willing. You have been waiting for me to be willing for so long, but I'm afraid you won't believe it. I have to ask again. Listen carefully," Gu Si Nian took a deep breath, and Liao Zhiyuan's heart almost jumped out during this gap. He guessed what the person in front of him was going to say next. Say what he wants?

"Together." Liao Zhiyuan stared at Gu Sinian's mouth closely, confirming that what he heard on his lips and ears were these three words, his eyes suddenly became sharp, as if he wanted to dismantle the person in front of him.

"I'll give you one second to repent." He retained the last shred of reason.

Gu Sinian smiled, "Are you willing?"

"Well..." Liao Zhiyuan bit his lip unceremoniously, rubbed it several times, and when he opened his mouth to exhale, his tongue slipped in to attack the city, entangled tightly with his tongue Together.

After kissing for an unknown amount of time, Liao Zhiyuan retreated before he was about to lose his breath, but still kept a distance of less than one centimeter.

"Stupid, don't you know how to breathe?" His heat made Gu Sinian's cheeks flush, and his earlobes even more colorful.The more he looked at Gu Sinian like this, the happier he became.

"I love you." Liao Zhiyuan licked the tip of his sensitive ear, and the person in his arms struggled, he giggled and said, "You don't need to say, I love you, as long as you are willing."
