Uninvited Rebirth

Doudou was puzzled that Xiang Yuan said it took a while to go, and when Xiang Yuan was walking around the room, he dragged Xiang Yuan by the corner of his clothes and followed, "Dad, why did we wait a while before going?"

It snowed heavily last night, and it started to clear up this morning. There was sunshine lying in the yard from east to west, and he was drinking hot water from a cup in the distance, "Doudo, if you go now, you have to follow them to find the rabbit nest, go It’s tiring to go back and forth, and we’ll go again when they almost find their nest, so we don’t have to run around with them.”

Qin Wenyan leaned against the door with a cup of hot tea in his hand, which was steaming hot, "How do you know where they are?"

"It must be on Xiaolinzi Mountain." Xiang Yuan turned his head to look at Qin Wenyan and smiled, showing his small white teeth, "There is a famous rabbit nest there. If the villagers say they want to catch rabbits, they must go there."

Qin Wenyan nodded understandingly. They waited for a while and went out. Huihui wanted to follow, but her mother stopped her and said that she hadn't done her homework for several days and it was time to study hard. Huihui looked at Xiang Xiang anxiously. A few people walked out, and Doudou was holding both hands by two adults, so she turned her head to comfort Huihui, "Sister Huihui, when I come back, I will catch you a big white rabbit, big big!"

Seeing Huihui smiling and waving at herself, Doudou was also happy. She stepped on the snow and followed Xiangyuan. Out of the village, the snow remained the same because no one cleaned it. It was quite deep, and the adults stepped on it until The calf, if you switch to Doudou's body, it will be your thigh. Qin Wenyan simply carried Doudou on his back. Doudou lay on Qin Wenyan's back and looked forward, "Dad, I can't even see the way .”

The heavy snow buried everything. When I walked out of the village, I couldn’t see where there was a field or a road. After walking far away for a while, I was a little panting. I struggled to get my legs out of the snow, and when I smiled, a cloud of white came out of my mouth. Wu, "Don't worry, I know the way. Anyway, I've lived here for so many years."

Qin Wenyan gave Xiang Yuan a hand, "Slow down."

"I know." Xiang Yuan nodded, and said to Qin Wenyan, "Did you see the mountain in front? It's Xiaolinzi Mountain. There are many trees on it but not dense. If you walk from the mountain, you are guaranteed to see rabbits and pheasants." What's the matter, it's also fortunate that our village is usually full of old people, so we don't have the time to go to the mountains to catch them, and young people who go out to work after the Chinese New Year come back to catch a few, otherwise, the rabbits and pheasants would have disappeared long ago."

Qin Wenyan and Xiang Yuan walked back and forth, just after hearing what Xiang Yuan had said, he saw Xiang Yuan's body tilted, and he fell into the snow with a cry.Fortunately, the snow was not very deep, and Xiang Yuan stopped when he sank into his chest.Qin Wenyan frowned, first put Doudou down, told him to stand still, and then walked towards Xiang Yuan, panting heavily, Xiang Yuan sank in the snowdrift, first laughed twice, looked at Qin Wen Yan came over and quickly stopped him, "Don't take such a big step, don't let your foot in too, you step on it slowly with your foot."

Qin Wenyan moved slowly for a while as Xiang Yuan said, and when he stepped on his foot again, he felt that the soles of his feet were still soft, and he knew it was snow. He retracted his foot, bent down and stretched out his hand toward Yuan, "I will pull you come up."

Xiang Yuan shook his head while reaching out his hand to Qin Wenyan, "I don't know who dug a ditch here, and once the snow is buried, I can't see anything."

Qin Wenyan didn't speak, took Xiang Yuan's hand and pulled it back, Xiang Yuan thumped his hands and feet vigorously, was extremely embarrassed, finally climbed up, Xiang Yuan sat on the snow on his buttocks panting, his hair was all flopping Xue Hua, Qin Wenyan tilted Xiang Yuan's head to one side, patted his hair, "I told you to speak slowly."

Xiang Yuan tilted his head and patted the snowflakes on his cuffs. Hearing Qin Wenyan's dissatisfaction, he curled his lips, "I didn't know that I dug a hole." Fortunately, it was all dry snow, and the snowflakes fell off as soon as I patted it. "I'm so exhausted." Liaodu, hey, Doudou, where are you going?"

Qin Wenyan turned around and saw Doudou walking in the other direction. When he heard Xiang Yuan calling him, he turned his head towards Yuan and made a "shh" gesture, "Dad, I saw a pheasant."

Xiang Yuan waved his hand with a smile, "Don't go, the pheasant is very clever during the day, it will fly away when you are not around, and I will show you the rabbit when it arrives later."

Doudou stood there frowning and hesitated for a while, looked at the pheasant and then at Xiang Yuan, and walked back obediently. Seeing that Xiang Yuan stood up and patted the snow on his body, Doudou speeded up a little. His legs were sucked by the snow, and he staggered and fell into the snowdrift, but he couldn't get up by pulling his limbs.Qin Wenyan shook his head helplessly and smiled, and hurried to rescue Doudou, and found that one of his rubber shoes had fallen off, so he patted the snow on his socks and put on his shoes.

When the three of them arrived on the mountain and followed their footprints to find Li Junzi and the others, they were looking for a new rabbit hole. One of them held three rabbits in his hand. Doudou's eyes widened, and he patted Qin Wenyan's shoulder and said eagerly: "Father Wen Yan, I'm going down to see the rabbit."

Xiang Yuan took Doudou off Qin Wenyan's back, and Doudou walked up to the three rabbits with two short legs, looked at them excitedly for a long time before saying, "Why are there no white ones?"

Li Junzi laughed, "Doudou, the mountains are basically brown, and there is no white one."

Doudou was a little disappointed, and watched the three Doudou for a while, and then when the adults caught the rabbits, they clasped their little hands and prayed: "White, white." Unfortunately, it was brown every time.

Xiang Yuan winked at Qin Wenyan, "Doudou wants to bring the white rabbit to Huihui."

Qin Wenyan looked at the child looking into the rabbit hole, looking dumb and cute, and nodded with a smile, "Very trustworthy."

Xiang Yuan glanced at the tree behind him, leaned on it with a smile, and suddenly there was a "crash" on the top of his head, and a large pile of snow fell, and he and Qin Wenyan were drenched from head to toe. Li Junzi and the others laughed when they saw it, "Brother Xiang, the trees are covered with snow, so you can't rely on them."

Xiang Yuan hurriedly wiped off the snow on his face with his hands, and then went to pick out the snow that fell into his neck, shivering from the ice, "I don't forget this!"

Qin Wenyan looked at Yuan Bing who was bouncing around, and pressed his shoulder with one hand, "Don't move, I'll do it." Xiang Yuan stood still, Qin Wenyan first patted the snow off his collar, gently Pulling back the collar of the sweater, I used my hands to get out the snow that had already started to melt, and after looking at it several times, I was sure that there was no more snow before I said, "Okay."

Xiang Yuan moved his neck, it was indeed not cold, he raised his eyes and saw Qin Wenyan patting the snow on his hair, and then saw that Qin Wenyan's coat collar was relatively large, he was anxious, "Pat the inside of the neck first, The one on the head will be filmed later."

Qin Wenyan glanced at him, "It's already melted."

"Ah?" Xiang Yuan was dumbfounded, he grabbed Qin Wenyan's shoulder and looked in, sure enough, the light-colored collar inside had been smudged dark with snow, "Is it cold?"

Qin Wenyan looked at Xiang Yuan and frowned, shaking his head, "Fortunately, it's not cold."

Xiang Yuan gave him a white look, "You think I'll believe it? Let's go, go home and get warmer."

The neck was really cold, especially the back was a little wet, and it was cold when the wind blew, so Qin Wenyan no longer denied it, but just glanced at Doudou who was still in high spirits, and couldn't bear to just take the child home like this, " Otherwise, I will go back alone, and you take Doudou to watch here for a while?"

"That's impossible. If you lose it, who can I go to?" Xiang Yuan asked Li Junzi for a rabbit, and coaxed Doudou a few words. When Qin Wenyan put it on his back, he said, "I'll keep Wen Yan's father warm."

Qin Wenyan laughed, and Xiang Yuan also laughed while carrying the rabbit in front of him. Doudou's calf swayed and sang on Qin Wenyan's back. Tong Sheng, the three of them walked back home.

The headmaster set up a brazier in the main room. The firewood is dried in the autumn. There is no smoke when it burns without moisture. It is red and radiating heat. The aunt looked at the few people coming back, and hurriedly called them to come over to enjoy the fire, "Outside Is it cold? Come here and enjoy the fire."

Xiang Yuan found a cage to stuff the hare in, and Doudou sat on the small bench next to Xiang Yuan. He wore a lot of clothes and was not cold. After sitting for a while, he dragged Huihui to see the rabbit, and even talked to his aunt. I asked for vegetable leaves to feed the rabbits.

Xiang Yuan's hands were indeed cold, and it took him a while to warm them up on the fire. Thinking of Qin Wenyan's wet collar, he asked him, "Do you want to change your clothes?"

Qin Wenyan was also warming his hands, and even the trousers that were leaning against the brazier were warm, "No, the room is not cold, and it will dry up after a while."

Xiang Yuan was relieved, ran to the kitchen and pulled out several sweet potatoes from the haystack, carried them to the main room, put the sweet potatoes one by one next to the firewood, and smiled, "I will eat roasted sweet potatoes later, Wen Yan, let me tell you, this Much sweeter than the ones in the city."

Qin Wenyan's attention was not on the sweet potatoes, he frowned as he watched Xiang Yuan scratch his ears from time to time, "Have you got chilblain again?"

Xiang Yuan scratched his ears again, "It seems to be a little itchy." Some time ago, because Qin Wenyan paid more attention to his ears, he wore a scarf when he went out and rubbed his ears when he came back. He didn't get frostbite for a long time. The sky rose again.

Qin Wenyan moved the bench and leaned towards Xiangyuan, and took his hand down to have a look. Sure enough, the area around the ear was red and swollen. Qin Wenyan and the principal didn't find any medicine for chilblain, so they went to the kitchen and cut a piece of ginger Come over and wipe it for him, Xiang Yuan sat obediently on the small bench, Qin Wenyan sat behind him and wiped his ears, the back of Xiang Yuan's ear was rubbed hot, he grinned and inhaled while turning the sweet potato over with a branch .

After Huihui and Doudou had finished playing by the cage, they took the small bench to the brazier. Huihui stretched out her small hands to warm the fire, looked at Xiang Yuan and then at Qin Wenyan, and sighed like an adult, "Uncle handsome is really nice to Uncle Yuan." good!"

Doudou pulled off the gloves to enjoy the fire, and when she heard Huihui's words, she said in a natural tone, "Because Wen Yan's dad likes dad~"

Xiang Yuan looked at the headmaster and his wife sitting beside the brazier, his face turned red all of a sudden, and when he saw the headmaster smiling at himself, he felt that something was wrong, and his body dangled back and forth, holding branches in the brazier bit by bit. Suddenly, someone flicked his ear, and Xiang Yuan yelled, "It hurts!"

Qin Wenyan frowned behind him, "Don't move, or it won't be easy for me to wipe."

When Xiang Yuan was honest, the principal came out to eat with a bag of melon seeds. Doudou ate melon seeds very slowly, so Xiang Yuan peeled them by hand for Doudou, and Doudou picked them up with his small mouth open.Qin Wenyan rubbed Xiang Yuan for a while, and sat down by the brazier again when he felt that it was almost done. Seeing that Xiang Yuan was only concerned with peeling melon seeds for Doudou, Qin Wenyan peeled a handful of melon seeds for Xiang Yuan, and Xiang Yuan watched Guaziren blinked, divided it into two portions, ate one portion by himself, and handed the other portion to Qin Wenyan, "You eat as you like."

Qin Wenyan took it over, "Don't you want to eat?"

Xiang Yuan was still chewing melon seeds, smacking his lips, "It smells like ginger."

Qin Wenyan was speechless, well, he took the ginger just now without washing his hands, "Isn't it delicious?"

Xiang Yuan smiled and smiled, "Everything you peel is delicious."
