God said I would meet you

This wedding is different from Lin Jinyu's imagination in many ways. The wedding of the Han people always requires the best man and bridesmaid, plus dozens of firecrackers, red wedding dress and red firecrackers, red happy characters, red pots and pans. Lively and prosperous, Yi weddings are not like this.

The main color of Yi wedding is deep black.

In the Nuosu culture, black is the earth, honor and solemnity, red is the sun, fire and bravery, and yellow is life, beauty and abundance, and the endless life between the earth and the sun.

This morning, just as Lin Jinyu woke up, she was urged by Zhang Xinhe after washing up, and followed her to Chen Hui's house to help.

The sky was cloudy, and the raindrops and snowdrops mixed together and drifted down. Many people's attire changed overnight. The immediate elders, brothers and sisters of the same branch as Chen Hui basically changed into black, yellow and red. The costumes of the ethnic group are no exception even for children who have just learned how to run. The sarvas that people wear form a sea of ​​black, white and blue.

Someone was already setting up a pot to boil water outside the yard. The young people who had just returned home last night kidnapped a pig with five flowers and put it on a board, waiting for the uncles who knew it well to do the bloodletting.

Zhang Xinli got up earlier than him, and had already been helping out for a long time. Even he changed into a black, yellow and red Yi shirt symbolically. At this moment, he was asking a few of his peers to take out all the plastic basins for washing. He also asked people to take apart dozens of beers and put them on the open space.

Many Lin Jinyu looked familiar with the busy figure. Mu Se and Zhang Wenbin over there helped to paste red couplets on the door, and when they saw him coming, they said hello.

"Lin Jinyu, you're here too," they said, "You still look exactly the same as before."

Lin Jinyu handed them cigarettes: "It's exactly the same, he said: "I'm old. "

Most of the people were communicating in Yi language, and he couldn't understand it, so he walked through the crowd to find Zhang Xinli. Zhang Xinli was helping to carry water. The house was full of yards, and even the high ground on the roadside outside the yard was filled with water. Basins, buckets and other things that hold water, children laughing and playing with water, throwing a large area of ​​the ground is wet.

"What's this for?" Lin Jinyu squeezed over curiously, and asked, "It's the Songkran Festival."

Hearing his voice, Zhang Xinli turned to look at him and said, "The Water-Splashing Festival belongs to the Dai people, we don't."

"Then what are you doing with so much water?"

Zhang Xinli said, "You will find out in the evening."

Cut, it's still a secret.

These scenes and customs were very novel to Lin Jinyu. He looked around and saw all kinds of things he had never seen before, and thought it was quite interesting.

"Your marriage here is quite different from ours," he asked, "Do you have your own way of doing everything...you can't celebrate the Spring Festival?"

While fetching water, Zhang Xinli said, "We celebrate here. The Yi nationality celebrates the New Year and the Spring Festival. I don't know about other places, but maybe there are places."

"That's it." Lin Jinyu just focused on looking for him, and didn't pay much attention to the other guests. Now he looked at the door, and saw a... he didn't know what it was called in front of the yard and at the door of the house. It seems to be called "Mie Luo" or something, made of bamboo strips, with more than a dozen small glasses of wine in the middle, relatives and elders of Chen Hui's family guarded by the side, when a guest came in, he went to drink a glass of wine, and said auspiciously to each other As one wishes.

He asked, "What is that for?"

"It's just wine, the beer I bought yesterday." Zhang Xinli rolled up the sleeves that had fallen off, "It's just a courtesy, have a drink first when you enter the door."

Lin Jinyu remembered that she didn't understand the rules and didn't drink with others when she came in, so she asked, "I didn't drink, do you want to go over and make up? Is it bad if I don't make up? Is it bad luck if I don't make up? What? Did you drink it?"

He had so many questions, Zhang Xinli was busy with his work and kept his hands on his hands, so he took the time to answer: "It's just to express welcome and celebrate the festival, let's forget if you don't drink, don't you drink when you enter the door, then you can save money when you get married." Pay for drinks."

"I can drink, but I only drink when I sit at the dinner table." Lin Jinyu said, "Why am I married? Will I marry you?"

Zhang Xinli paused, turned his face and poured the water from the bucket into the big wooden basin, the transparent water splashed everywhere, wetting his hands.

I don't know if it was Lin Jinyu's illusion, but he always felt that the tips of Zhang Xinli's ears were a little red.

Lin Jinyu originally wanted to choke him, but after seeing his reaction, his bad thoughts came up again...or maybe there was a little bit of probing. He still didn't know what Zhang Xinli's attitude towards him was now. He took half a step forward, but he still couldn't face it completely.

"Ask you," he said, "what kind of marriage will you marry? Will you marry me?"

"Don't talk nonsense," Zhang Xinli glanced around, bent down, lowered his head to fetch water... Lin Jinyu showed embarrassment, and after about three to five seconds, Zhang Xinli couldn't help but said in a casual tone: "Why not?" marry me?"

Lin Jinyu said, "That's fine too, will you marry me?"

"..." Zhang Xinli didn't expect that he usually had a quick tongue, but now he didn't argue with a single word, and he ran out of words for a while.

"Mr. Zhang," Lin Jinyu said, "Ask you."

Zhang Xinli was silent for a moment, then said, "Understood, Mr. Lin."

Got it, what does it mean... Lin Jinyu originally thought that if he really couldn't accept it so much, he would let go. After all, although he hasn't really experienced the eyes of the society, he can also imagine that if he is really together Now, how hard is the road ahead... Why lead people to step on thorns with bare feet.

But Zhang Xinli never said too heartless words. Whenever Lin Jinyu felt a little tired and wanted to have a good knife, he always acted a little ambiguous... If he had been more cruel and worse, Lin Jinyu might have died hundreds of years earlier. He gave up, but Zhang Xinli was not like this. Lin Jinyu often felt that in his life, except for his parents, no one would treat him as well as Zhang Xinli treated him.

"What do you mean, please explain clearly."

Zhang Xinli said: "Why do you have so many questions, come here to help when you are in a hurry."

He was obviously changing the subject, Lin Jinyu expected his reaction, snorted inwardly, did not speak, just went to join hands with him, and together with him lifted the bucket of dozens of catties outside and put it into a large basin.

The team to pick up the relatives probably won’t arrive until dinner time. At noon, Chen Hui’s family invited them to dinner. Dozens of hundreds of plastic pots filled with meat, vegetables, and rice were placed on the ground, with chopsticks on the side of the pots. When you’re hungry, you can just pick a pot , and there is no table, everyone squats on the ground after serving the meal, or stands in the corner.

Zhang Xinli took Lin Jinyu to find a quick open space. They were tired after working hard all morning, so the two of them squatted under the eaves like the two migrant workers who went to the city to ask for wages, and started eating with basins in their hands.

The familiar heavy oil is heavy and spicy. Since rice and vegetables are mixed together, Lin Jinyu has to be extremely careful. If you don't pay attention, you will eat a mouthful of peppercorns, just like playing a minesweeper game, so you eat slowly.

Zhang Xinli knew that he didn't like to eat food with a lot of oil. He watched Lin Jinyu pick up and count the rice grains. He stretched his chopsticks into his bowl, picked up most of the peppers and the rice soaked in oil, and then took his own rice. He gave him a layer of unoiled rice, and said, "You can make it up, and I'll serve you a bowl of noodles when I go back."

Lin Jinyu said: "In addition to the noodles, an egg should be added, not boiled, but poached eggs."

Zhang Xinli said, "Understood."

Suddenly a voice came from behind them obliquely unexpectedly: "You two are still in such a good relationship, it's really not easy to talk about it."

Lin Jinyu shuddered, but he didn't expect to be seen... He turned his face and saw Zhang Wenbin and Zhang Wenbin holding cigarettes in their wooden ears, and squeezed towards them: "There's no room, squeeze."

Zhang Xinli moved closer to Lin Jinyu to make room, Mu Se led Zhang Wenbin over and squatted down: "I haven't seen you for a long time. I just saw that you came in and you have something to do, so I didn't talk much."

"It's the same thing now," Lin Jinyu said, "It's been a long time, and I thought you guys don't remember me."

"Remember, you are so different."

Lin Jinyu herself didn't realize that he was special in the eyes of many people here, and also in the eyes of Zhang Xinli...just like Zhang Xinli was in his eyes.

Mu Se asked: "Are you still studying?"

His skin is dark and rough, and his big feet wear a pair of canvas shoes that he has worn for several years.

Lin Jinyu said casually: "I'm studying, there are very few people in our place who don't study in college."

"Yes," Mu Se Pafan said, "It can be seen that he still looks like a student."

Lin Jinyu was afraid that he might say the wrong thing. Although what he said was indeed the truth, everyone is no longer a child with one-line thinking. Will this have some bad implication in other people's ears...

In fact, Mu Se didn't think too much about it. Although he occasionally envied high-rise buildings and busy streets, he didn't have much yearning for big cities. There is nothing wrong with such a simple life. Saving money and getting a wife, Jane Simple, pure and natural.

Mu Se said: "College students, study hard, and your salary will definitely be high in the future."

Lin Jinyu said, "Come on, too."

Zhang Wenbin was eating in silence. After the large bowl of oil, rice, and vegetables was wiped out, Lin Jinyu was about to go to put the chopsticks, but Mu Se grabbed him. Lin Jinyu turned her head and saw Mu Se Se took out three yuan from his pocket, folded them and handed them to him.

Lin Jinyu didn't know what this meant, and cast a puzzled look at him.

"Return yours," Mu Se said, "the popsicle money."

Lin Jinyu doesn't remember the money for popsicles at all. In the hot summer of that year, under the scorching sun and in the shade by the paddy field, he once bought a cheap popsicle for Mu Se and Mu Se's younger brother.

At that time, Mu Se was penniless, even if his younger brother wanted to eat a cheap popsicle, he couldn't afford it.He folded up the three yuan that he had been thinking about for many years and put it in his pocket: "Thank you for your kindness at that time, don't count the interest on me."

Lin Jinyu wanted to give it back to him, but Mu Se's actions were very firm. He said, "If I give it to you, take it. After all... I am his brother."

……

Lalong arrived at about two or three o'clock in the afternoon.

He is carrying a log-colored guitar and wearing a school uniform. He has a beautiful bronze face and white teeth. He wears a silver ring-shaped earring on his left ear. It is said that ancestors can identify the soul of their children by the mark on the left ear.

It was actually Lin Jinyu who played the most and was most familiar with him. When he entered the door, many people greeted this junior who hadn't been home for several years, saying that he was promising, that he was studying in the city and taught himself music.

After drinking a glass of wine, La Long went straight to Mu Se's side to look for his brother. He called to greet him all the way, and was pleasantly surprised to find that Lin Jinyu was there.

A lot of children surrounded him and wanted to play his guitar, Lin Jinyu was also very happy, and went through the process of reminiscing with old friends again, Lalong said: "Brother Jinyu, I didn't expect to meet you again, I thought I would meet you in this life. I can't see you anymore."

His voice was neither high nor low, with a very rigid, original atmosphere of the Yi nationality. Lin Jinyu said: "This is fate."

All the containers that can hold water are basically full, the pigs that need to be slaughtered have been killed, and the meat that needs to be cooked is also ready, just waiting for the team from the man's family to welcome the bride.The elders were all drinking and chatting, and Lalong took a group of children, and sat on the steps to teach them how to sing. It was very noisy and lively.

Chen Hui was always in the house, and several direct sisters stayed with her. The female elders prepared clothes for her and did a little freshening up.

The snow fell a little bit more than in the morning, and some accumulated on the clearing and withered grass.It was getting colder, and Lin Jinyu couldn't stay outside, so Zhang Xinli asked him to go inside to warm up by the firepit.

I didn't feel it when I was working, but it was really cold when I stopped now, and it was raining and sleet all the time. Lin Jinyu sat on the stool, touched her back with her backhand, and found that the outermost layer of clothes was a little wet.

Zhang Xinli came in to fetch the bacon hanging on the wall, saw him groping around his body, and asked, "Why are you scratching your head?"

Scratching your ears and scratching your cheeks... Listening to his adjectives, Lin Jinyu couldn't help but see Sun Wukong's "monk with a hairy face and thunderous mouth" in his mind. He said, "You scratch your ears and your cheeks with a sharp mouth, and the clothes behind me are all wet."

Zhang Xinli said quickly, "Take it off and roast it by the fire, it will be dry in ten minutes."

"If it's so cold, let me take off my coat, I won't freeze to death," Lin Jinyu said, "This room doesn't keep warm, just a fire, without a coat, I will definitely die of cold."

Zhang Xinli was helpless: "As long as you have a lot of things to do, what should you do? Wear my clothes?"

Lin Jinyu was terrified of the cold, so she asked directly, "Are you cold? If you're not cold, pity me!"

Zhang Xinli had never been free. He helped to cook pots and butcher pigs, fetch water and carry water, and move things like beer around.

"Then you stay by the firepit and don't run around." He stretched out his hand to undo the buttons on the skirt of his clothes, halfway through the unbuttons, he froze on the spot as if he suddenly remembered something.

"?" Lin Jinyu asked: "Why, you don't have to give it to me if it's still cold, I pretended, anyway, there is fire, no matter how cold it is, it won't go anywhere."

"No." Zhang Xinli turned around and turned his back to him: "right away."

Lin Jinyu felt it was strange, why don't you just take off your coat? What's the matter? You've already seen everything you should and shouldn't.

Zhang Xinli unbuttoned, quickly took off the outer garment, threw it far away to Lin Jinyu, and went out. Lin Jinyu only saw a white thread flashing across the back of his neck in a daze.

Wearing Zhang Xinli's clothes, he leaned against the fire pit to warm up. He didn't realize it when he was young, but now he feels that everything has a unique ethnic style. Lin Jinyu took out his mobile phone and took a good picture inside and out. , he took pictures of the smoking pot, the Yi man in Picurva, the girl guarding the water basin, the wrestling child, and the bacon on the beam... After a few hours in this way, the afternoon After five o'clock, the team to pick up the bride finally arrived.

It was a team made up of eleven brothers from the man's family, and it was quite impressive as soon as they entered the village. Lin Jinyu liked to watch the excitement, so she couldn't help but go out and squeezed together with Mu Se and the others by the side of the road, stretching their necks to look around.

He finally knew why he was taking so much water earlier. The young men and women at Chen Hui's house lined up along the route that the bride-seeking team came in, each holding pots, pans, pans and other things for scooping water. They came over, regardless of 21 [-], it was a mess.

It's not the kind of drizzle that flicks on the face with fingers dipped in water, but a solid basin of water poured down on the head, like countless human-shaped sprinklers, until the man's family covered their heads and covered their faces. Jumping forward like a monkey, the funny look made everyone laugh.

Lin Jinyu shuddered just looking at it. It was the twelfth lunar month, and it was nine days of cold winter. Water was splashed on Cerwa, and the ice shattered when blown by the wind. Even so, no one showed mercy. Look at that posture, Lin Jinyu I have no doubt that if anyone in the village had a sprinkler or a water cannon, they would use it.

Cold turns to cold, but it seems to be a custom of others. No one is angry when the man's family is splashed like this. Instead, they all rushed forward screaming.

Eleven young men sang loudly all the way, and soon approached Chen Hui's house, and rushed to Lin Jinyu's side. The girls waiting here bent over to scoop up water, and in an instant, a curtain of water flew together.

The water flew out high and splashed heavily on the ground and people's bodies. Lin Jinyu couldn't help but feel like shit, good guy, it turned into a water curtain hole in an instant... He was afraid of being accidentally injured, so he quickly slipped back into the courtyard.

In the yard, Chen Hui had already left the house and sat at the door. Her younger siblings and the female elders of the family surrounded her and changed her into a sewn wedding gown, which was still mainly black, matching the one that Lin Jinyu wore on her shoulders. The pieces are almost the same, just a little more embroidery and color.

Chen Hui's grandma and younger sister combed her hair. They unraveled Chen Hui's braid, divided it into two strands, combed it to make it smooth, then wrapped her head with red silk thread, and braided the two strands of braid with red silk thread. Get up, go around the top of your head, and put on your headkerchief.

In the past, Lin Jinyu watched those ethnic minority promotional videos on TV. As long as she was a woman, she would always be dressed in silver jewelry, with a huge crown and shiny silver rings and silver locks that almost covered her entire chest and abdomen. It feels like being rich... But it turns out that it’s not always like this. The eye-catching silver light can only be obtained if you have a certain family background. Even most of the clothes embroidered by Yi are made by themselves. Without old people who can do it, many children don’t even have a complete set of ethnic costumes, because it costs at least one or two thousand to buy a complete set in the market, and not everyone can afford it.

Except for those who were in charge of splashing water outside, other relatives and neighbors scattered in the courtyard and formed a circle. Lin Jinyu entered the courtyard, saw Chen Hui surrounded by the gap, and couldn't help being startled.

In his impression, she was always a girl who had nothing to do with "pretty". Since he was a child, the girls who he thought were good-looking were always the ones with thin waists, long legs, white skin and big eyes. Chen Hui did not meet this standard. , she is not white, not too thin, her skin is not delicate, and there are tiny freckles on her face, but at this moment she is sitting there quietly in ancient national costumes, with a few plain silver on her hands The ring and the silver earrings were complicated and gorgeous, suddenly revealing a beauty.

Chen Hui slightly raised the veil covering her face and glanced at the door, probably trying to figure out when the bridegroom would come in... From that glance, Lin Jinyu really felt another kind of beauty, that kind of beauty was somewhere between rough and delicate The room is primitive yet reveals humanistic delicacy, which is the beauty of another nation.

He wanted to record this rare moment, so he stood on the spot and turned on the camera, and took a picture over there.

Someone nearby asked him: "Isn't the bride of our Yi nationality pretty?"

At this time, there is no one who can say that it is not good-looking. Lin Jinyu spit out a lot of good words as if he didn't want money, and the people around him laughed at him.

Most people regarded him as a relative of Zhang Xinli's family, a guest who came from afar, and he was very enthusiastic. There was a noisy sound from the entrance of the yard, probably because the relatives were approaching.

It seems that the splashing of water has passed, but it is not so easy to pick up the bride. It is snowing lightly, and the elders of the woman's family let Chen Hui enter the house first, and he and a group of juniors go to the gate of the yard to stop, and carry boxes of beer up. Well, if the receptionist didn't drink those up, he wouldn't even let them in.

Zhang Xinli wasn't here, and Lin Jinyu didn't know where he had gone. He saw that everyone was performing their duties and seemed to be on a mission. He was afraid that he would be in the way of the crowd, so he withdrew and ran into the house to hide. .

Chen Hui was sitting by the firepit, the veil hanging from her headkerchief covered her face.

The noise and laughter outside were mixed together, it was so loud that you could tell how excited it was just by listening to the movement. Lin Jinyu and Chen Hui were sitting alone, and Chen Hui's young siblings were sitting with their older sister.

It was so quiet that no one spoke, only the crackling of firewood.Lin Jinyu wanted to find a topic to talk about, so he said, "Congratulations, you're getting married soon, how did you meet each other, when you were working?"

Chen Hui turned her head towards him, and the tassels on the earrings swayed slightly with her movements: "No," she said, "It was introduced by my family. It's okay to be together for a while. Just when school starts, younger brothers and sisters have to pay tuition fees, so they will be married as bridesmaids." gone."

"Oh, that's okay, and it's pretty good," Lin Jinyu said, "Haha, you don't know, I was quite surprised when I received the invitation at the beginning. I can't understand Yi, and I guess who is so happy for a long time. That's it." married."

"I wrote it casually, but I didn't write it clearly," Chen Hui said, "My Chinese is not very good, and I am afraid that I will not write well if I write too much."

From her accent, Lin Jinyu knew that Chen Hui's language wasn't very good. He said, "It's okay, you'll know when you come, it's the same, but having said that, why did you think of asking me, I'm so flattered."

"Thank you," Chen Hui said, "You gave me candy when I was a child, and that chocolate was delicious. I never ate it at that time."

Lin Jinyu gave candies and chocolates to many people, including La Long, Mu Se, Zhang Wenbin, and the kids who learned to skateboard with him. He gave so many candies that he no longer remembered the one he gave Chen Hui.

Chen Hui said: "I was married quite far away, and I don't know how many years it will be before I come back. I just want to invite everyone I want to come. I will have a meal and a drink at the end, and I will be fine."

"That's right, when you get married, of course you have to be happy, and you can invite whoever you want," Lin Jinyu said with her hands on her knees, "It's a pity that when you get married here, the woman doesn't accept the gift money alone, otherwise I will make a big package for you." Red envelope."

Chen Hui said: "If I take it, I will pay you back when you get married. Will you invite me when you get married?"

When they got married... Lin Jinyu smiled, thinking that he probably didn't have such a day when he was alive, he said: "Hey, let's talk about it, if you don't get married, you don't have a girlfriend."

Chen Hui said, "It will definitely be soon, girls like you very much."

But there is a boy who just doesn't like me... Lin Jinyu almost blurted out. After saying this, he barely stopped the car, and said politely: "Where are you, you think highly of me."

"No," Chen Hui thought for a while, and said to Lin Jinyu in substandard Mandarin, "Do you know...I used to...like you a little bit."

Lin Jinyu was startled, and raised her head in surprise. At the same time, there was the sound of dead branches breaking under the rear window... probably cats and dogs ran over it.

He said, "How...how is it possible?"

"Really," Chen Hui said, "I'm not lying."

This girl, who was a little younger than Lin Jinyu, lowered her head slightly, her tone was calm but serious: "A little bit... just to tell you, there is no other meaning."

This is an unremarkable and humble girl. On the eve of her wedding, she told Lin Jinyu about a candy many years ago. Lin Jinyu had forgotten about that candy, but the girl kept it tightly in her heart.

Chen Hui looked up at him, how many days and months have passed, she said these words not because she wanted to keep something, but because she finally let go of the candy: "Lin Jinyu, you are very special," she said. She smiled and said, "You're handsome and rich, and many people will like you. When you get married, can I also attend?"

Lin Jinyu looked at her, Chen Hui's eyes were separated by a layer of veil, so he couldn't see clearly, but he had no reason to think of that afternoon many years ago, on the floor of Zhang Xinli's house, this girl lowered her head, gently opened the pages of his book with her fingers, whispered Ask him if he can borrow the moment he took a look at.

Lin Jinyu didn't borrow it at that time.

He said, "I..."

Chen Hui thought he was worried about something, and added: "I have no other intentions, just take a look, I want to see what kind of girl you will marry, your marriage must be different from mine," she said : "When I get married, it depends on the bride price, nationality, and the opinions of family members. You should only look at the girl."

Lin Jinyu still said: "I..." He could actually write a bad check, regardless of whether it is true or not, and promise it with all his heart, but for some reason, he couldn't say it.

Chen Hui asked, "Are you married?"

"What?" Lin Jinyu hurriedly said: "It's nothing, I just... I..." He said, "I don't think I will get married..."

"Why?" Chen Hui asked in surprise, "Why would someone not get married?"

"Just..." Lin Jinyu scratched her hair: "You really think highly of me. I like someone for a long time, but that person doesn't like me at all."

"Ah..." Chen Hui said, "No way."

"Yes," Lin Jinyu said, "but it's okay. If you don't like it, you don't like it. After going around for a long time, I actually feel tired, so just... let's just do it." He said: "We also have our own lives. , I won’t see each other again after I go back, so I’m sure I’ll forget about it after ten days and half a month... How about you, I’ve got a husband haha, live a good life, and you’ll be happy.”

Chen Hui had been listening to him quietly. After Lin Jinyu finished speaking, she said, "He is a very good person."

Lin Jinyu nodded: "Well, he is a very good person."

Chen Hui said, "Do you like him very much?"

Lin Jinyu said: "I like it very much, I like it very much."

Chen Hui then said: "It's hard to meet someone you really like, so I wish you persevere, don't be like me who has no strength to persevere."

Standing in the mud, this Yi girl stood on her tiptoes and stretched her arms, but she couldn't reach Lin Jinyu. She hoped that Lin Jinyu could stand tall and hug the person she liked.

"It's easy to get married, but it's hard to fall in love," she said.

Lin Jinyu smiled and said, "Thank you."

A thin layer of snow had already accumulated outside the door, and the wedding reception team finally broke through layers of blockades and rushed in from the courtyard door to snatch the bride. The crackling sound of dead branches breaking under the rear window of the house sounded again, and Lin Jinyu stood Get up and see a large group of people rushing in with cheers and whistles, ready to lift the bride's veil.

Before he got up, he asked the last word. He asked Chen Hui: "Do you still like reading novels?"

"Now," Chen Hui said in a daze, "I haven't read a book for a long time, there's nothing to see, and it's useless to read."

She is a little factory girl now, and the little factory girl doesn't have much time to read, even though she used to like reading very much.

This night was very lively, because Chen Hui married far away, so the wedding reception team didn't go on the road immediately after snatching the bride, and the ground was filled with pots and pans of food, the bride's family and the groom's family were sitting together, drinking and singing , Once it is very lively, there is no time to quiet down.

Because of the cold, a fire was lit outside. Lin Jinyu squatted far away from the fire. After eating, he smoked a cigarette. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Zhang Xinli, who had disappeared for half an afternoon, sitting not far in front of him. He looked down, not knowing what he was looking at.

At night, the temperature became even lower. Lin Jinyu felt really sorry when he thought that his clothes were still draped over his elbows, so he sneaked over and suddenly said from behind him, "Hello!"

Zhang Xinli shook, quickly put his hands away, and turned around, "What?"

"Return the clothes, don't you know it's cold?" Lin Jinyu asked, "What are you looking at?"

Zhang Xinli said, "Nothing."

There is no 300 taels of silver here. The more you talk about nothing, the more you have something. Lin Jinyu handed him the clothes and said, "Put it on."

Zhang Xinli reached out to pick it up, and Lin Jinyu pretended to be normal to complete the handover ceremony with him... Then when Zhang Xinli relaxed his vigilance, put the thing he was holding on his other side, and freed his hand to button it, it was too late to say At that time, Lin Jinyu reached out and scooped up his side like a monkey scooping up the moon, and when he got his hand, he left, jumping three feet away without looking back.

Zhang Xinli slowed him down by a second, and when he realized that Lin Jinyu had jumped several meters, he said, "Jinyu!"

Lin Jinyu said: "Being a thief is guilty, let me see what good things you have secretly hidden."

Zhang Xinli immediately got up and chased him. Lin Jinyu was afraid of being snatched back by him, so before he could take a closer look, she ran out with her hand in her hand.

The fire was in the center of the open space, and the farther away from the fire, the fewer people there were. Lin Jinyu circled around in the crowd, and ran towards the outside direction all the way. He rushed to a corner far away from the fire, and was finally caught up by Zhang Xinli.

Zhang Xinli stretched out his hand to grab him, Lin Jinyu stepped on the snow, slipped on his feet, and threw him down on the snow with him.

The two ran for hundreds of meters at the same speed as life and death. At this moment, both of them were panting anxiously, absorbing oxygen from the chilly air.

Lin Jinyu held the snatched thing in his hand, taking advantage of the last few precious seconds, he brought it to his eyes to see.

From the corner of the fire in the distance, he clearly saw that it was a bullet necklace strung with sterling silver beads. The silver plated layer had been peeled off at some point, exposing the original brass shell. A sentence is engraved in a beautiful cursive on the shell: LdevoteshisalllifetoloveZ.

Very small words, very naive, very hypocritical, just like that Xiaoyan, naive and hypocritical age, I feel that I have lived for the short-term heartbeat and love all my life.

In the second after Lin Jinyu saw this sentence clearly, Zhang Xinli snatched the necklace back. He pressed Lin Jinyu from behind, making him unable to move. Zhang Xinli said, "You still love to play tricks like before."

Lin Jinyu was bored for a few seconds, and suddenly laughed so hard that his whole body trembled. He didn't struggle, and just smiled softly; "Aren't you still fooled like before?"

In addition to the brass bullet case, there was a small silver bell on the necklace, which jingled when touched. When Lin Jinyu took it, the metal case was still hot, which meant that it had been worn all the time. On the body, maybe worn for a long time.

Lin Jinyu turned her shoulders back, opened Zhang Xinli's hand, struggled a bit, turned to face him, and said, "Student Zhang Xinli, can you explain why you keep carrying this thing?"

Zhang Xinli clutched the necklace and said nothing.

"Isn't it because someone caught me and didn't know what to say?" Lin Jinyu pondered for a moment: "I remember someone told me that your Yi people have a custom of snatching a girl if they like it. Things, if she comes after you, you can go whisper."

He sat up from the ground with his elbows propped up, faced Zhang Xinli face to face, looked him in the eyes, lowered his voice, and said, "You're chasing me, can we have a private conversation?"

Zhang Xinli's eyes reflected the orange-red light of the distant bonfire, and he also looked at Lin Jinyu... How could there be such a pair of eyes, Lin Jinyu's eyes flashed with jokes and sincerity at the same time, so cunning, yet determined.

Zhang Xinli finally said, "Okay... I was discovered by you."

Lin Jinyu pushed him: "Let me get up first, it's full of snow, then sit for a while and cover it, and my whole body will be covered with water."

Zhang Xinli stepped back, Lin Jinyu patted the snow on his body, got up, and the two of them moved a little bit, facing the bonfire, and sat on a piece of dry grass with less snow.

They were in a small patch of shadow at the edge of the fire, outside the bustling crowd.

Lin Jinyu rubbed her shoulders: "Your hand strength is still so strong, if you hit the key point, you can dislocate me."

"Who told you to steal things from people?"

"Really," Lin Jinyu said, "Student Zhang Xinli, if I remember correctly, this seems to be mine. When did it become yours?"

Zhang Xinli said, "You gave it to me."

"Oh, then I'll take it back now."

Zhang Xinli asked, "Why?"

Lin Jinyu deliberately said: "Because I want to give it to someone who I like and also likes me."

"Really," Zhang Xinli looked at the bonfire in the distance: "Who is this person?"

"My boyfriend," Lin Jinyu said, "he must be handsome and have a good personality...ah, he should be nice to me too. Anyway, most people don't like him, and he wants someone who is particularly good."

Zhang Xinli asked, "Will you still be with men?"

Lin Jinyu actually didn't know.It was Zhang Xinli who really made him understand the feeling of loving someone. Although Zhang Xinli is a man, he doesn't know if he can still feel that feeling from other men... Maybe, maybe not, but He said: "Yeah, didn't I tell you that I like men in the first place."

Zhang Xinli said, "I thought you..."

"Why?" Lin Jinyu said: "My friend, I recommend Kinsey and Freud's books for you to read. After all, everyone has an account on the software, and there is no harm in knowing more."

"Friend?" Zhang Xinli skipped Kinsey and Freud, and asked, "Do you consider me a friend?"

I want to be something else, can I be... Lin Jinyu said: "What's wrong with friends, friends are the foundation of everything."

"Oh," Zhang Xinli nodded, and asked, "He's handsome, has a good personality, and treats you well." He said, "Apart from these things?
