Travels

After going through the shadow of this time, Xia Wanmu expressed strong protest against going to the hometown to take the children to do their homework again at the morning meeting where tasks were assigned while eating.

"I won't go, the two children are too skinny, I can't manage it, fishing or cooking are fine, anyway, Murakami won't go."

After she finished speaking, she secretly looked at Yu Qingge. The man had no expression on his face, quietly picking up the noodles in the bowl, as if the table was just discussing insignificant topics such as the weather, and there was no need to intervene.

"Well... okay, then Xiao Lu and I will go to the village, and you girls can discuss and assign the rest of the tasks." Ju Zhengxin didn't say much when he saw her resisting face, and after pondering for a while, he took the initiative. up.Ji Mingzhao and his little friend looked at each other, they were about to say something, but when they thought of the disaster they caused two days ago, they stopped, sucking on the noodles silently with their heads sullen, looking at Xia Wan with a slumped head. Call one.

He didn't say a word when it was time to behave, and he knew to cause trouble when he was in a panic all day long. Not to mention bringing the two children to the ground, and implicating her and Yu Qingge, it was a heinous crime.

Fortunately, her little apprentice took up the conversation immediately, avoiding the embarrassment of the table: "Then Mingzhao and I will try to cook today. The teachers can go to the pond to play. Fishing is still very interesting."

Ju Zhengxin snorted, finished the last sip of noodle soup, wiped the corners of his mouth and told her, "Can you wear waterproof clothes? Go back to your room and change into tighter clothes. I'll teach you how to wear them."

"No, I will." The person who had been silent all this time pushed the porcelain bowl aside and stood up, politely rejecting his proposal, "I'll help her wear it." After she finished speaking, she nodded towards Xia Wanmu , asked in a gentle tone: "Shall we go now? You can leave after changing."

---------------------------zzzzzzzzzzzzzz---------------------- -------

Helping change clothes has happened many years ago. Due to the nature of work and inner resistance to other people getting close to their lover, most of the time this kind of thing is digested internally by the two of them.But years have passed, and even if she has the title of "I have to do this for work", she still can't help but look at the people who are circling around her, straightening their collars and flicking their hair He blushed shamefully.

The only thing that can be relieved is that there is no camera in the room, so this embarrassing appearance will not be put on the Internet to be publicly executed, but the other person is not blind, even if he is serious and busy , probably like a bright mirror in my heart, I have already seen her blushing face in my eyes.

"Okay, okay?" In order to avoid the embarrassment of colliding with people's eyes, Xia Wanmu maintained the posture of raising his hands, raised his head and stared at the ceiling tightly, and his voice was as small as a mosquito screaming.

Yu Qingge stood very close, and the two of them would be close to each other one step further, but she had no time to ponder whether such a short distance was really necessary for helping to dress, and all her thoughts were on the girl standing directly above her chest. hands.

With a crisp click, the buckle of the waterproof overalls was fastened. The person in front of him took two steps back, and the hand he retracted was a little hesitant, with a hint of reluctance.

"Try taking two steps."

She shook her hands and moved her shoulders. The length of the straps was adjusted just right, but it was a bit cumbersome to walk. There were too many clothes inside, and it was tightly stuck to the outer layer of the waterproof suit. It felt strenuous to take even a few steps. .

"I can't walk very much, do I need to take off two more pieces?" She said truthfully, twisted her waist twice, and the waterproof suit deformed and made a gurgling sound, which sounded quite novel.

"It will be easier to get into the water. It's cold in the pond, and it's easy to catch a cold if you don't wear enough clothes."

Yu Qingge explained a few words, watching her look like she found the New World as fun as her eyes doted on her, and after a while, she turned around and put away her suit.Xia Wanmu swayed a few more steps like an old lady swinging her legs, looked back, and found that the thin man had only put on a woolen sweater and got into the waterproof suit, and suddenly became angry.

"Why do you wear so little??"

Just as Yu Qingge put his right foot into his trouser leg, he paused when he heard the words, and then continued to move indifferently, saying very easily: "It's enough, it's not cold."

"Isn't it cold?" She sneered, went up and pinched the thin wrist, as expected, it was cold, so she held it between the two of them and asked with a gloomy face: "Is it not cold? You just said it bluntly If you don’t catch cold easily, how can you be different when it’s your turn?”

Yu Qingge stared at her blankly, as if she hadn't expected her to have such a violent reaction, and then muttered after a long time: "If you wear too much, you won't be flexible enough to catch fish."

"All the fish in the pond are raised by your family? Are you allowed to catch them alone?" She didn't bother to pierce the man's small thoughts, so she retracted her hands and undid the shoulder belt buckle: "Okay, then I'll take off two, too. It’s useless to save others from scolding me when I can’t get anything.”

The suspenders fell to the ground, and she grabbed the zipper of the padded jacket and pulled it down as if venting her anger. Before she could pull it all the way, she was stopped by another person.Yu Qingge held her hand, lowered his eyes and compromised: "...Understood, I'll add another dress."

Xia Wanmu didn't move any more, and stood quietly in place for a long time. Memories of the past swept over, which was very similar to the scene in front of him.After eight years, she recalled for a long time the feeling of powerlessness that had been blurred with the years but penetrated into her heart, and she couldn't help hating this person's stubbornness and selfishness again.

"Yu Qingge." She opened her lips and coolly called another person's name.

——I don't need your protection.

But the words never came out.She closed her mouth, shook off the hand that was still holding her, grabbed the waterproof suit that had slipped to the ground and put it on again. door away.

In winter, the water in the pond is bitterly cold. Even though the water in the south rarely freezes, it is always a pain if one wants to go down into the pond.With the help of several staff members, Xia Wanmu entered the water safely, leaning against the shore and shaking for a while before gradually adapting to the cold water temperature.

This piece of water on the mountain was contracted by the family they lived in. The water in the small pond with a length and width of no more than 1.8 meters was dark green, and according to the director team, the depth did not exceed [-] meters.There is no need to go through the central part. Xia Wanmu looked at the water that was about to reach his thighs, let go of the hand holding the shore, and took two tentative steps inside with courage.

Under the influence of buoyancy, it was much easier on the body than walking on the ground, but the mud at the bottom of the lake stumbled her feet, so she moved carefully, tensed her nerves until she reached the surface of the water, and gradually got used to the feeling of walking in the water.

The initial sense of fear subsides a little, and is quickly replaced by a burgeoning curiosity.As she walked, the silent silt at the bottom of the pond was turned up, turning the originally clear water into a yellow turbidity.As a result, a tumbling dusty waterway was connected to the shore behind, like the white trail left by an airplane in the sky.Excitedly, she turned her head to look, but inadvertently saw Yu Qingge, who had come down from the side and followed closely behind, with a solemn expression, staring at her with worried eyes all the time.

She didn't know what expression to make, so she turned her head quickly, and took two steps forward in a daze.There was a dull pain in her chest, she pursed the corners of her lips, and was suddenly covered by an unexplained sadness.

"Don't go any further, the water is deep there and it's not safe." Yu Qingge rushed up, but the two net bags in his hand couldn't pull people in, so he could only stop him with his eyes and voice, "Be careful of getting water in your clothes, this waterproof suit It's too short and only covers the chest."

Why do you refuse to say a word at the critical moment, and just keep nagging at this time.Xia Wanmu stopped in his tracks, complained silently about the boring gourd again in his heart, grabbed the net bag out of professionalism, turned around and said reluctantly:

"Got it. What do we do now?"

"Just walk from here to the shore, stretch the net bag a little, and drive the fish to the edge of the pond for easy fishing." Poor Gourd seemed to have forgotten the unhappiness that happened indoors just now, and vacated a finger to point out a route: "You Go this way, I'll catch up from there, and we'll meet you at the place you came down just now."

She nodded, and walked back staggeringly with her arms outstretched. She didn't pay attention to whether there was any fish, but she just thought about it—it seemed that Yu Qingge was always gentle and considerate in front of her, never lost his temper, and never lost his temper. Remember the grudge.

Although there is no "enmity" between them.But no matter before or now, there will always be a small quarrel and quarrel, every time Yu Qingge doesn't care much, neither cares about which side is more reasonable, nor does she care about her temper when she is in a hurry, like a mess Like cotton, always appearing in front of her in the softest posture.

She can't tell whether it's good or not. If it's the closest person, shouldn't she show her truest side?She could feel Yu Qingge's overflowing love for her, and believed that it was sincere enough, but what about the rest that was hidden?She also wanted to tolerate Yu Qingge's shortcomings and pettiness, and wanted to know all of this person's thoughts. Probably only when this sentence can be realized, the two of them can have a truly happy ending.

And now... just the back and forth pulling and racing to get to that finish line.

She swayed with difficulty in the undulating water, and at this moment she was finally willing to admit that the balance in her heart was tilted towards someone from beginning to end.Yu Qingge is a magnetic pole of a different name to her. In a completely isolated environment, the influence may be subtle, but once she gets close, she will burst into a powerful attraction. No matter how hard she resists, it will be futile.

Getting closer and closer to the shore, the water in the pond was stirred up more and more muddy.As the water surface became shallower, the shadows of a few fish gradually became clear, and a few black spots jumped up and down in the dim yellow water, dragging someone in a trance out of the spiritual world.

Xia Wanmu opened his mouth, and held back after shouting halfway, for fear of scaring those fat fish away.Yu Qingge heard her short cry, looked at the black shadow in the water, and moved towards her clearly.It is rare for the two to put aside their personal relationship and focus on the salvage results. After a few glances back and forth, they got closer and closer in a tacit understanding.The fish were cornered, and the bold ones leaped across the water and escaped from the encirclement with a thump, while the rest of the idiots huddled together and fell into the net without any accidents.

"Wow!" It was the first time in her life that she could have such a harvest in the pond. She couldn't help but exclaimed, dragged the two fishes up into the air with difficulty, and carefully observed her prey.Yu Qingge's mood became weaker, and he didn't see how happy he was, so he dumped the fish into a bucket on the bank and leaned over.

"Be careful if you fall, put it in the bucket first and then look at it."

She also understands that it's not the time to procrastinate, the water is freezing to death, and no matter how many clothes you wear, you can't resist the cold.Two fat fish fell into the bucket with two plops. The heavy sound aroused the joy in her heart. Joy gave rise to sorrow. She turned too hard, and the mud under her feet was slippery as hell, so she lost her balance and straightened. Fall backward.

There were several shouts from the shore, and she panicked. She dropped the net bag and grabbed around, but couldn't find any fulcrum to support herself.In desperation, a strong force came from her side, pushing her in a different direction, and she threw herself on the shore as if standing in the water.

The people on the shore shouted even louder. A few photographers threw down their equipment and jumped into the pond.With the help of the staff, she climbed ashore dizzily, and looked into the chaotic pond in the reassuring muddy atmosphere. Yu Qingge's face was pale and drenched, and her loose long hair was entangled in the snow-white body like black algae. With the support of several strong men, he struggled to stand up from the waist-deep water.
