Shimmer Forest

"Hey hey hey, stop making trouble, you already look like a hooligan, okay?" Su Jingran's mouth twitched, and his voice couldn't help trembling: "Hurry up Let me put it back, any option will kill people, really will die."

"Tsk." Dissatisfied, he carried him back again, and Uncle Wu continued to tap on the roof.

"Wow, it's terrible." With a long sigh of relief, he cautiously rubbed a few steps towards the roof: "Why would I entrust my precious son to your care. You won't abuse him behind my back, will you?" ?”

"What are you talking about?" Glaring at him viciously, Uncle Wu wished he could drive all the nails into his body: "Fortunately, Su Jin doesn't look like you at all, that kid is much more serious than you."

"Oh, oh, it hurts so much to say that." Holding a cigarette between his fingers, Su Jingran looked at the sunset in the distance, narrowing his eyes slightly: "That kid's cock is exactly the same as his father and me— —”

Before he finished speaking, he was kicked off the roof by Uncle Wu.

But Wu Hao, who just came back, stepped on the most ruthless kick without mercy. Su Jingran, whose face was buried in the ground, heard his voice gritting his teeth: "Sorry, I didn't see anyone here."

"Oh, do you welcome us home?" Su Jin, who was walking behind him, gloated a few times, then helped him up and patted the dirt off his head: "You are hated by their father and son So thorough."

Su Jingran sat cross-legged on the spot, looking at the smiling person who helped him wipe off the stain, and muttered to himself with a hint of helplessness: "Why is it you..."

Su Jin's hands paused slightly, and continued to wipe as if he hadn't heard anything.

"...Teacher Su?" The sudden silence was inexplicably sad, and Xiao Yu called out a little uneasily.

"How's it going, are you having fun?" Su Jingran returned to her usual cynical smile and asked while rubbing her head.

"Well, we went to catch fish. The forest is big and beautiful, and everyone is very kind. It's a joy to be here."

"I see." The smile on Su Jingran's face deepened: "Then the marriage is almost settled—poof—"

Before he finished speaking, he was kicked back into the ground by Su Jin and Wu Hao.

"Okay, alright, it's time to eat." Uncle Wu pulled away blushing and steaming, and stood at a loss for Jiang Xiaoyu: "I've prepared dinner, come and eat."

Everyone left Su Jingran who buried his face in the ground, sat around the table and ate happily.Xiaoyu habitually took out his mobile phone, Uncle Wu approached curiously, took the mobile phone away unceremoniously, and began to study: "So this is the legendary mobile phone, with such a small box, you can reach people far away. People? It's amazing."

"Hmm..." Xiao Yu nodded nervously, "Say, speaking of it, no one in the village uses a mobile phone?"

"No." Returning the phone to him, Uncle Wu smiled cheerfully: "The village is so small, just go to the house if you want to find someone."

"If you're here, how about trying to communicate without using your mobile phone?" Su Jin took a bite of food and said casually, "After we finish eating, let's go to the village for a visit."

Xiao Yu's face turned even redder, and she nodded her head like pounding garlic.

"That's a good idea." Wu Hao expressed his displeasure at this, but he reluctantly complied, and troubled Uncle Wu by the way: "Father, give me pocket money."

"What do you want pocket money for?"

"I'm going to visit Grandma's house."

"...You just want to buy something, right?" Su Jin unceremoniously exposed him.

"We always want to take our guests out to have fun and buy some local specialties, right?" Wu Hao spread his hands innocently.

"Where's your own money?" Uncle Wu gave him a sharp look and asked sharply.

"I want to save up to marry Su... I want to marry a daughter-in-law!"

Everyone said something to each other, and there was endless joy at the small dinner table.Su Jingran rubbed her hair and watched them, with a hint of loneliness in her eyes.

After dinner, before the sun had fully set, the three of them went door to door to eat and drink.

The village is preparing for a temple fair, and the streets that should have been deserted are bustling now.People are beating and decorating houses and stalls, preparing goods for temple fairs.

Everyone in the village liked this new little girl very much, and every family wanted to talk to her and give her a bunch of snacks and toys.Xiao Yu's arms were soon full of things.

She has completely lost the embarrassment she had when she first arrived, and ran ahead happily.The two followed her, and Wu Hao stared at the back for a long time before poking Su Jin, who was wandering in the sky, with his elbow: "I said, bookworm, why are you so nice to her? You don't know...really Do you like her?"

"How is it possible." Su Jin gave him a sideways glance, but he definitely refused: "Don't you think that guy's personality is very chubby?"

"..." Wu Hao, who had always been anxious, was a little dumbfounded when he heard this reason, and at the same time, he had new worries.Because compared to humans, this guy seems to like monsters more... he can be less competitive as a human being.

The girl running happily in front suddenly stopped and stared at the woods not far away.That gaze, as if looking at something far away and nothingness, was full of puzzlement and confusion.But I can't help it, I just want to chase and yearn.

"What's wrong?" Su Jin followed her gaze.The afterglow of the setting sun dyed the sky a crimson purple, and in the woods not far away, some faint yellow gold was faintly sprinkled.Many people dressed in ancient costumes, carrying lanterns, stepping on the light, lined up neatly, and went quietly to the deep mountains.The intricate patterns on their clothes, like the patterns of butterflies, are enchanting and beautiful, and can be seen clearly even from a distance.

"Brother Xiaojin, there are so many... um..." Xiao Yu pointed to the depths of the forest, and her unfinished words were trapped in her icy palms.She raised her head, and Su Jin put her finger on her lips, her expression blurred in the backlight: "Shhh - we have an agreement to live in our own world without interfering with each other. So, just watch quietly Well, don't be curious, don't talk about it."

His voice, soft and ethereal, blurred in the afterglow of the setting sun, making it irresistible.The two stood side by side, silently watching those who marched in line, the golden light shrouded their bodies, sacred and noble.

It wasn't until those people disappeared at the end of the forest that Su Jin looked at the direction in which they disappeared, and sighed leisurely: "Well, so you can see... no wonder..."

"Brother Xiaojin?" That faint sigh, like a thousand words that cannot be said, makes people care.Xiao Yu looked up at him with doubts in his eyes.

"The temple fair will start soon." Changing the topic as if nothing had happened, Su Jin held her hand with a gentle smile: "I'm looking forward to it."

Xiao Yu's face was as red as a ripe apple.Wu Hao felt that he should be jealous at this time, but in Su Jin's abnormal words and deeds, there was an elusive depression.The depression was so overwhelming that it was hard to breathe.

"It's night." However, Wu Hao didn't ask anything, he just held his hand from behind and said softly, "Go home."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I said, Dahei, I only ate leftovers, why do you need to help you clean up?" Su Jingran complained dissatisfiedly as he wiped the plate with a rag, with a cigarette in his mouth.

"Don't call me Dahei. Also, the food is for the children. Don't complain to me if you eat and drink." Uncle Wu's head was full of veins. This guy who didn't care about anything always made him Very hot.

"Oh, don't be so stingy." Throwing the dishes into the pile of pots and pans that have been washed next to him, Su Jin took a puff of cigarette, with a narrow smile on his face: "Speaking of which, your little one Is Hei too clingy to my son, if this continues, he will go nowhere, don't you care?"

"Is there still a need to take care of things now?" Uncle Wu squinted at him, frowning tightly: "This is fate."

"You really see it openly." Breathing out a smoke ring as if nothing had happened, Su Jing leaned on the corner of the table, and his smile deepened: "My son must marry a gentle and lovely daughter-in-law to carry on the family line. fate."

"So?" Uncle Wu wiped his hands, picked up the next plate, and asked completely absent-mindedly.

"So, stop them before they get too deep." Su Jingran lowered his head slightly, letting his bangs cover his eyes, and his voice was so low that he could hardly hear: "The pain you have experienced, you still want your son Go through it again?"

Seeing Uncle Wu's back froze for a moment, he sighed a long time: "We cannot escape because of fate. And you, you should have been able to stay out of it."

"I can't help it." Uncle Wu continued to clean the dishes, with a helpless smile on the corner of his mouth: "Who made us father and son, you father and son will eat us to death!"

Su Jingran paused for a moment while holding Yan, looked at him with a little surprise, saw his red ears, and couldn't help laughing again: "Isn't that good?"

Uncle Wu turned his head and glared at him: "It's really bad."

"Isn't it bad for you to marry someone else with such a mood?" Su Jingran turned his gaze out of the window, as if his mind was no longer on the conversation.Containing a serious expression with a smile, it is hard to tell whether it is a joke or a serious one.

"Do you still care about such things?" Wiping the water on the plate with a rag, the smile on Uncle Wu's face gradually disappeared: "Speaking of which, why did you come back? If you want to persuade my son to give up on Su Jin If so, don't even think about it, that kid is even more stupid than me."

"Who is in the mood to meddle in your family's business, anyway, my son is so good, as long as I stop him a little, he won't get on your boat."

Taking a deep puff of the cigarette, and letting it out with a sigh, Su Jingran looked at the night sky outside the window, and even his voice became lazier: "I have been away from home for so many years, even I would be homesick. And the temple fair in summer has to be It’s started, there are many good things that can’t be bought in other cities at the temple fair.”

"You, it's better to stop brainwashing that child in the name of fate." The dirty dishes were finally cleared, and Uncle Wu picked up the blood-stained kitchen knife and wiped it: "None of us have the right to choose for them." way to go."

"But, if you don't say that, the child will feel even worse?" Hiding his face in the smoke, Su Jingran's voice became dry and trembling.

"What do you mean?" Uncle Wu finally stopped what he was doing, and stared at him fiercely with a frown.

"...It's nothing." Flicking off the long cigarette ash, he tried his best to pretend to be calm.But the trembling fingers still revealed his pain and anxiety.

"Hey, don't come here." Putting down the kitchen knife, Uncle Wu went straight to him, staring intently at his dodging eyes: "You came back so suddenly, definitely not for the temple fair, what happened?"

His staring gaze burned people's eyes with pain.After a long silence, Su Jingran looked away from him, hesitated and whispered, "The mountain god sacrifice...is about to begin."
