Li Daitao

Similarly, the sky is high and the clouds are light. Compared with the north, the autumn colors in the south are less majestic and majestic, but they do not have a beautiful scenery.

The houses here have a distinct southern character.Paddy fields in lotus ponds can be seen everywhere, with whitewashed walls and blue tiles.Occasionally, a corner is picked out from the forest, and most of the streams go around the village. There are often one or two white geese and ducks floating on the water, and the smoke from the cooking above the village has a unique feeling of warmth.The colors of the trees in the mountains and forests have changed, they are even more pale yellow and bright red, and the colors are mixed together strangely from light to dark.Occasionally, you can see pineapples and red persimmons hanging on the high branches of farmers' homes.

Jian An was only two years old, and this was the first time she saw fruits growing on trees, ducks swimming in the water, and the farm's self-raised watchdog chasing after the car and barking, it was amazing to see everything.I was so excited that I danced and yelled from time to time.If Yi Zhen hadn't held him down, he might have rolled out of the car.

Qin Shu was much more restrained than Jian An, but he also seemed very happy. At first, he sat in a pretentious manner, and had to discipline Jian An from time to time. When he left the city gate, he became restless. He and Jian An The two of them stayed by the car window, pointing out new things to Jian An from time to time.There is an uncontrollable smile between the eyebrows and eyes.

In fact, it is easy to be satisfied with this big and small.Yi Zhen sat on the other side, looking at the two of them with a smile.He has hunted and feasted countless times, and has seen countless places of interest, but he feels that no trip can make people feel extremely happy from the bottom of his heart like today.

Jian An's small face was flushed with excitement, and he kept shouting all the way, his voice was almost hoarse. He turned his head to look for water to drink, and then remembered the most important thing: "Daddy, when can we pick the fruit?"

Yi Zhen touched his little head, and said with a smile: "It's not far ahead, it's almost there, you have to remember to be obedient when the time comes."

Jian An poked his little head like a chicken pecking rice, and replied repeatedly: "I remember it, I must be obedient, and don't run around by myself, don't mess around."

Yi Zhen saw his black grape-like eyes shining brightly with excitement, and thought that you might forget everything by then, but at this moment, he didn't want to spoil his interest, and said with a smile: "Then Just fine."

There are no famous scenic spots and historical sites in Fengtai, so Yi Zhen chose Lingfeng Temple in this county on his own.The temple was not very popular, an old abbot brought two or three young novice monks, and usually planted orchards in the temple to make a living. Although there were few people, it was a quiet and elegant place, which could meet Jian An's requirements for fruit picking.

Yi Zhen sent someone to send some silver the first day, and told him to come to bother him today, so that a table of vegetarian banquets would be prepared in the earth temple, and they arrived at noon, just in time for lunch.

Both of them were absent-minded, they took a few mouthfuls of rice indiscriminately, then put down their bowls and clamored to go out.Yi Zhen had no choice but to hurriedly follow behind.

Walk for about half a mile along a stone path lined with reeds and grass behind the temple, and you will find a mountain depression, a lotus pond, a few rice fields, and some fruit trees on the other side.

The big and the small get together, but they can really be naughty.When picking persimmons, only focus on the brightest one picked on the tallest and thinnest branch of the treetop.Yi Zhen saw him struggling to lift Jian An to put the little guy on the tree, Jian An didn't know how to be afraid, and just giggled, but the people watching were sweating, and hurriedly led them to the field. go inside.I thought it would be less dangerous on flat ground.

Seeing a few stalks of lotus in the pond, Jian An thought of lotus root slices in honey.Qin Shu then volunteered to write two paragraphs in person to give him a taste of the early adopters.The lotus roots are buried deep in the mud, and most of them have to be dug out by people going down to the pond and soaking in muddy water.And digging lotus root is mostly in autumn and winter, when the weather is cold and the water is cold, it is really unpleasant.

Qin Shu didn't speak when he saw Yi Zhen, but just stared at him firmly.He had another way, he took it for granted that he grabbed the lotus stem near the shore and pulled it up vigorously, just like pulling a carrot.Jian An also ran over, getting in the way and not helping.

The two of them worked together, and the dialing was naturally made by them—a few bare lotus leaf stems, as for the lotus root.That is something that even the shadow has not seen.Instead, they exerted too much force, and they all kicked back two steps, fell down on the grass, and almost didn't roll into the rice field on the other side.

Yi Zhen heard the birds chirping and chirping in the forest, and the valley was ethereal, so detailed and quiet.Speaking of this situation, living with a few people can be regarded as self-cultivation. On the other side, Jian An chased Qin Shu and ran over to chop tree forks, find rubber bands to make slingshots, shoot birds, and make roasted birds for dinner. .

Yi Zhen was speechless for a moment.

I saw that these two people didn't know how they got out of the way, and they looked like two mud monkeys. They just changed into new jackets in the morning. At this time, they were covered in grass clippings and gray, and their original colors could hardly be distinguished.

The autumn sun is not too fierce, but Jian An is rarely exposed to the sun for such a long time, and her skin is tender. After such a long time in the sun, Jian An's whole face is flushed and dark, and some parts are even exposed. Skin, but he was so excited that he didn't realize it.Yi Zhen couldn't help but feel a little distressed, this child will inevitably be blacked out when he goes back.

Looking at Qin Shu again, he was born with fair skin. His hair was soaked in sweat and stuck to his neck, making his ears white and lovely.Even under the same sun exposure, the sun didn't leave any mark on his face, only the pink came out from the whiteness, like a ripe peach in March and April, making one want to bite his cheek.

If the child who was not found was also like him, no matter who he looked like, just based on this alone, he would be a handsome young man when he walked out.If it is really a daughter, then it must be a crystal and lovely little beauty.

As soon as his thoughts came here, he stopped his thoughts and didn't let himself think about it any more.

He waved to the two of them, looked at them carefully for a while, shook his head and said with a smile, "There are two wild cats over there."

"No." Qin Shu quickly wiped Jian An's face with his sleeve.Looking at Jian An's appearance, thinking that he might not be getting better there, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and pointed to the side: "There is water there."

Yi Zhen didn't expect that the water he mentioned was actually not a small mountain stream, the water was wide and shallow, the deepest part was just knee-deep, and the water was very gentle.The stream flows down from the rocks and forms a pool several feet in size below. There are several large rocks beside the pool. The water here is deeper. However, the stream is crystal clear and you can see fish playing from time to time. These fish have lived in the mountains for a long time. They are not afraid of people, and from time to time, one or two swim closer.Under the bright autumn sun, the water waves are very bright and lovely.

Qin Shu's eyes couldn't help but brighten up.

Without even thinking about it, Yi Zhen yelled: "Don't go into the water." Seeing Qin Shu's reluctance, he lowered his face: "I don't even know what season it is, the water is cold in the mountains, you want to get sick? "

"I'm not cold." Qin Shu muttered softly.Seeing that his expression is not good, there is no sign of loosening.Only then did he stop thinking about going for a swim, and stretched out his hand towards Yi Zhenyi: "I want to go fishing."

There are quite a lot of streams in Fengtai, but the hooks and fishing lines were prepared to be brought in early in the morning.I cut a piece of thin bamboo to make fishing gear, but it looks similar.

Qin Shu was even more familiar with the road. He found a wet grass on the bank, dug it with twigs, and dug out a few earthworms. If there are only small shrimps and crabs, there is ready-made bait.

Fish hooking is a matter of patience.Yi Zhen asked himself, he was quite patient now.

But what made him even more depressed was that he sat here for a long time, but no fish came to bite the hook.And Qin Shu and Jian An would yell and shout from time to time, and fish kept taking the bait.

Even Jian An was rewarded. Qin Shu taught him a trick. Instead of using a fishing rod, he tied the fishing line to a small branch to catch small fish on the bank. The stream is so clear that he can clearly see the fish coming to eat the bait. When the time comes, just lift it up, and you can always ask him to lift it up once or twice out of ten times, making the little guy scream with joy.Qin Shu used extremely thin grass stems to string together fish that were only the size of Jian An's little finger, and there were actually two or three strings.Jian An kept clamoring to bake and eat.

Yi Zhen thought about it, and thought that he had no chance of fishing anyway, so he simply stopped and looked at the two of them.He almost wanted to imitate Jian An, but he just couldn't get rid of this embarrassment.Seeing Jian An beckoning to him repeatedly, asking him to go over, she just rubbed her nose and laughed twice.

Qin Shu turned his head to look at him: "Whoever catches it will eat it. If you can't catch it, don't eat it. Just wait until you get hungry." He still remembered that Yi Zhen didn't let him into the water just now.

Yi Zhen said in his heart, you little heartless person.There was just a smile on his face, and he put down the fishing rod and smiled lightly: "I asked Qing Lan to go to the forest to catch hares."

Jian An ran towards him: "I want to eat wild rabbits."

Qin Shu snorted, and after a long while, he said in a low voice, "I'll share half of the fish with you."

Yi Zhen looked at him with a half-smile: "Didn't you say, don't eat what you can't catch?"

But Jian An was a filial son. He leaned towards Qin Shu, pulled Qin Shu and said, "When Daddy bakes the rabbit for me, I'll share half of it with you."

Yi Zhen glared at the little guy who was eating inside and out.

"I caught a lot, here you are." Qin Shu breathed a sigh of relief, but still insisted on giving it to him, as if as long as he took it, the rabbit would not be able to escape his share.

Yi Zhen looked a little embarrassed when he saw him flirting.Don't embarrass him anymore.He laughed and said, "You have a closer relationship with Yu'er than I do, so of course you catch more fish."

Seeing Qin Shu's puzzled and curious expression, he beckoned him to come closer. Taking advantage of his unpreparedness, he suddenly reached out and pinched his cheeks: "You two cats, cats and fish are of course intimate." Jian An looked at it in his hand, and said with a twist of his mouth: "Jian An, the kitten fish you caught is for cats to eat. If you want to eat that fish, do you think you are a small cat?"

Jian An was dazed by these few words.It's a pity if you don't eat it, it's a little cat. He held the grass stalk high in front of his eyes and looked at it, hesitating whether he should eat this fish or be a little cat?

Qin Shu's face hurt from being pulled by him, and he replied intermittently: "You are talking nonsense, I just washed my face, and you are a cat, a big wild cat." Yi Zhen pinched his face, and he stretched out his hand to pull Yi Zhen's ear , As a result, both of them suffered from pain, but they let go together.

It was only then that Jian An realized that Qin Shu was being bullied, and was about to rush forward to help, but the other was also a father, who stood there with his fists clenching, looking left and right, he was a little bit hesitant to do so.

The two of them stared at each other, and finally couldn't help it, and laughed together.

The temple is a quiet place, and these fish, rabbits, and meat can't be taken back to the temple, so they can only be dealt with on the spot.

Yi Zhen went to gather dry firewood, there were many trees nearby, so it didn't take much effort.

Qin Shu stopped fishing, rolled up his trousers and ran to the shallows, walking around kicking the water.When Yi Zhen came back, he didn't know whether he was messing around or was not careful, most of his clothes were splashed with water.

Yi Zhen couldn't help but lower his face and reprimanded him a few times. Seeing that he was obediently lowering his head, he had no choice but to hold back his anger. He lit a fire with the dry wood he had picked up, and pushed him to the side of the fire with a big stone. sit up.

Seeing that the clothes wouldn't be able to dry for a while, even though the sun was warm, his body was still cold after being blown by the wind like this, Yi Zhen thought about it, and decided to go back and get a set of clothes for him.

It won't take long for Qing Lan and the others to hunt a few wild game, and this time should be back soon.He threatened Qin Shu a few more words: "Sit here obediently and don't move for half a step. I'll get you a clean set of clothes."

Qin Shu obviously didn't want to listen to him, so he thought for a while and said, "Don't move even when the tiger comes?"

"There are no tigers here." Yi Zhen's face darkened, ignoring his nonsense. "If I find you disobedient when I come back, don't blame me for taking care of you." He slapped his hands and made a gesture.

Qin Shu visibly trembled, and waved at him sullenly: "I know, let's go."

It's not too far from the temple, Yi Zhen was afraid that he might freeze, so he was worried about him, so he came and went quickly.When he was about to get there, he saw Jian An poking his head in front of him, but turned around and ran away when he saw him.A sense of doubt arose in Yi Zhen's heart, and he hurried to the edge of the pool, almost exploding his lungs when he saw it.

It turned out that Qin Shu was originally born in a water town, and after being sleepy for a long time, he couldn't help but feel a little concerned when he saw streams and lakes, but now he acts only by his lively nature.His desire to get into the water has never died, so Yi Zhen walked away, took off his coat and put it next to the fire to roast, and hurriedly got into the water.Fortunately, he was still reliable, and he didn't throw Jian An into the pool.

It turned out that Jian An was ordered by him to stand guard on the side of the road and report the news. No wonder he saw him and wanted to run away.If it wasn't for Jian Anren's calf sprint not fast, Yi Zhen would only be a little busy for a few steps.Let him put on his dry coat, maybe he will really be fooled.

At this time, Qin Shu was in a hurry to climb up to the shore. Although the water was clear, there was still some moss growing on the rocks. He was flustered again and slipped down again after trying several times.

Jian An was anxious for him, and kept urging: "Hurry up, big daddy is coming."

Qin Shu raised his head and saw that Yi Zhen was already standing behind Jian An, his face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, so gloomy that water dripped out, and he was staring at him viciously.He only yelled in time, let go of his hand, and fell back into the water again. He turned around instinctively and swam to the depths of the pool.He was swimming in the water, with only his head exposed on the surface of the water, looking at Yi Zhen with a look of shock: "I'm catching fish, not playing with water."

Yi Zhen shouted angrily: "Come up!"

"I won't come up." Qin Shu looked at Yi Zhen's face, lowered his voice, and replied with a little panic: "I won't come up, you are angry, and you will be bullied if you come up."

Yi Zhen was so angry that he laughed, thinking that if you don't come up, can I not be angry?He wished he could jump down and catch him himself, but when he came to the water's edge, he felt a little scared.He knows how to dog plan a few times, and it is obvious that he is not Qin Shu's opponent when he enters the water. Besides, he has been floating in the river for several hours since that time, and he really has some psychological shadows about entering the water.

When he got Qin Shu ashore, he had to teach Qin Shu a lesson he would remember.The most urgent thing is to coax him up first.So the expression on his face had to be restrained, the wolf with a big tail managed to put on a pleasant smile, and said with teeth: "I'm not angry, you come up."

Qin Shu looked back and forth at his face, obviously not believing it.

Yi Zhen waited for a while, picked up the fishing rod and chased him away like a duck.

It was the first time for Qin Shu to see him showing such a welcoming face, and seeing this, he became more and more convinced that he would not have any good results when he landed.

The pool was several feet long, and the bamboo pole couldn't reach the other side. When he drove from this side, Qin Shu hid towards another country. There was always room to dodge, but he refused to go ashore no matter what.

Yi Zhen couldn't help feeling a little anxious, and even more worried that he would suffer from some old illness after soaking in his water for a long time.The shore is wet all the year round, and moss always grows on the stones. When he was distracted, his feet slipped suddenly, and before he could recover, he had already plunged into the water. In a moment of panic, he choked on a few mouthfuls of water.

Jian An was startled and yelled, "Daddy!"

Qin Shu was still giggling and watching the excitement, but after seeing him dancing and struggling, he hurriedly swam over to pick him up.

"You're a landlubber." Qin Shu laughed at him, while splashing water on him. "Look, the water is really not cold."

Yi Zhen regained his composure and realized that he could step on the smooth pebbles at the bottom of the pool with his toes. Feeling a little shameless, he kept his face blank and said nothing.

Qin Xin thought that he was afraid, wiped the water from his face, and stretched out his hand to pat his head: "Hey, I'm here, don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

Yi Zhen turned his head to avoid his hand, and said with a cold face: "Who is afraid, I am worried that you are sick."

"No." Qin Shu said, just finished speaking, suddenly sneezed several times in a row.He opened his eyes wide, showing embarrassment that he didn't know what to do.

"Go ashore." Yi Zhen took the opportunity to soften his voice.

Qin Shu remained silent this time, and obediently followed behind him.

Yi Zhen walked a few steps, farther away from the water, and turned his face faster than turning a book. Without saying a word, he grabbed Qin Shu, pressed him on the grass next to him, and slapped his butt hard.

Qin Shu was stunned, his first reaction was not pain, but surprise.He didn't start to struggle until he got the second blow.

Yi Zhen didn't care about it, and took four or five shots in a row before stopping.Let him squat on the ground, bow his head and complain: "You hit me? Scoundrel!"

"Are you saying you shouldn't fight?" Yi Zhen's face was gloomy, but in fact he still felt sorry for him.He secretly regretted that he had indulged him too much, which made him more courageous, and he didn't know the severity.Seeing Qin Shu's tears began to roll in his eyes, he laughed out of distress. "Are you crying? My younger brother is watching you. You can cry if you feel comfortable."
