The little man on the apex

Yan Heyi hugged Yuanxi and cried for a long time before she choked up and squeezed out a few words: "Yuanxi, I made you suffer."

Yuan Xi gently patted Yan Heyi's shoulder like coaxing a child, only saying that he was hurt and in a bad mood.

It wasn't until Yan Heyi stopped making a sound and just put her head on his shoulder in a daze, that Yuan Xi said what she had planned to coax him: "Brother, I was in the vegetable garden just now, and I saw something that would turn into a ball Little bug, I'll take you to see it."

Yan Heyi didn't answer.

"The gourds on the swing frame are all sprouting, let's go and have a look? See if there are exactly seven of them, as my brother said?"

Yan Heyi still didn't answer.

Yuan Xi stopped talking and just hugged him quietly.

After a long time, Yan Heyi raised her head, her eye circles were red, and her eyelashes were soaked with tears, turning into clusters.

"I... can't give you much." He only said one word, then choked up again, closed his eyes for a while, and continued, "I don't have much money. If you say you want to eat, you can give it to me." What do you buy, but you can’t even buy a whole bag of pine nuts.”

Yuan Xi probably didn't understand what he was talking about, so he reached out to wipe Yan Heyi's tears: "Brother bought it for me, every time I go back to town, you forgot?"

After finishing speaking, he stretched his hand into the dark pouch inside Yan Heyi's gown, and unexpectedly found out a peanut brittle candy wrapped in red sugar paper.

This is newly made in the candy shop in the town. It is wrapped in syrup and crushed peanuts. It tastes sweet and tastes better than pine nut candy. It is Yuanxi's new favorite recently.

"Brother, don't you know? I stuffed it for you yesterday, but you never noticed it." Yuan Xi opened the candy wrapper, squeezed out the peanut candy, and brought it to Yan Heyi's mouth, "Eat a candy , brother will be happy."

Yan Heyi took the candy, squeezed it in the palm of her hand, and raised her head again: "I know, you want to eat it, but you can't bear to tell me that every time, every time, you are only willing to buy it." Two, and you managed to feed one into my mouth."

"Yuanxi, the more you are like this, the more uncomfortable I feel."

Yuan Xi couldn't figure out why giving him candy made him feel "more uncomfortable"?

He tilted his head: "brother, what are you talking about?"

Yan Heyi's hand clenched even tighter, as if she wanted to crush that poor peanut candy.

He seemed to have made up his mind, he pulled the corner of his mouth and squeezed out a smile, held Yuan Xi's shoulder, and said softly: "How about, I'll take you back to your hometown."

Hearing this, Yuan Xi unconsciously clenched the hem of his clothes, pretending to be calm and said: "Going...to my hometown? It's too...too far away, I don't remember the way, and besides, there's no one in my house gone."

Yan Heyi obviously thought about it for a long time, he ignored Yuan Xi's excuse, and continued: "There are always acquaintances there, ask someone to find you a suitable family."

Yuan Xi was stunned: "What... the right family? Brother, what are you talking about?"

Finally said this thought that tortured her for several days, Yan Heyi seemed to have calmed down, and her mind was at peace.

He felt that his whole body was bitter now. After drinking the medicine for so long, he was already soaked in the taste.

Yan Heyi didn't want Yuanxi to suffer from such a bitter taste, the little ancestor still had to soak in the sugar jar and live a sweet life every day.

"Don't worry, I will definitely find out about that person's character." Yan Heyi brushed Yuanxi's hair that was hanging on her chest, the corners of her mouth were still raised just right, "I will come back when you get married, if in the future... ..."

Before many words could be uttered, Yan Heyi's lips were kissed.

Yuan Xi held Yan Heyi's head tightly, and inserted his fingertips into his hair.

In fact, this is not a kiss, if we really want to find an explanation for it, it should be said to be biting, Yuanxi's four pointed canine teeth seemed to be furious, biting Yan Heyi's lips.

Yuan Xi didn't let go until the smell of blood from the two people's mouths could not be ignored.

His eyes were red, but he rarely held back his tears: "Mr. Yan, have you read so many sage books, did you make yourself stupid?"

"I am with you, and I have not suffered."

Tears finally broke the embankment, Yuan Xi frowned, and counted the days spent with Yan Heyi: "Every day, we can eat fresh seasonal dishes."

"Every festival, even every solar term, you attach great importance to, and even ate so many eggs with good meanings for me."

"We still have seven little chickens, and Xiao Hei." Yuan Xi pointed to the yard, "Also, on the swing frame outside, cotton is placed on it, and rattan mats are placed next to it when it is hot. I planted so many gourd dolls."

"But what I said, I still haven't done it, Yuanxi." Yan Heyi's mood fluctuated again, and her voice was uncontrollably high, "I said I won't let you work, I won't let you suffer, but I still asked you to cook, your hands were burned red, and you were asked to wash clothes in the yard, how hot it is now!"

He grabbed Yuanxi's two hands, held them in his heart and rubbed them carefully: "When you first came, your hands were so tender, but now, look, they are all small wounds. Feel them carefully, the palms of your hands are so tender." A thin layer of cocoon has risen inside."

Yan Heyi has a lot to say, but now she pours it out in one go: "In the past, if you were hungry or sleepy, you would pester me to cook for you and tell you stories to lull you to sleep."

"Now, you are hungry and have to go to the kitchen to cook meals for two, and you have nightmares at night, and you have to apologize to me when you wake up, patting me and coaxing me."

"Why should I ask you to apologize to me, Yuan Xi."

"The doctor said, you were frightened before, and you fell into this nightmare problem, which is just a little bit better."

When Yuan Xi first came here, he had nightmares repeatedly at night, torturing himself until his eyes were black and blue, and he said nonchalantly that it was just uncomfortable at the time, but he forgot all about it during the day.

It was Yan Heyi who felt that something was wrong, and dragged him to the medical clinic in a deceitful and deceitful manner. The doctor did not prescribe any medicine, saying that it was a heart disease caused by sadness and fear, and he needed to be taken care of carefully so that he could live happily every day. When he forgets the past that scared him, he will gradually recover.

Yan Heyi was indeed protecting him carefully, trying not to mention his past life, nor his parents.

It wasn't until the two of them made love to each other, that they had more hopes in the day, and hid in Yan Heyi's arms at night, that Yuan Xi gradually stopped being tortured by those things, and he hadn't had a nightmare for a long time.

I thought that this illness would be over, but unexpectedly this kind of thing happened again. In the past few days, Yuan Xi's nightmare has never stopped, and Yan Heyi always felt that it was her fault.

What made him feel even more distressed was that after Yuanxi woke up from the nightmare these days, he no longer pestered Yan Heyi to act like a baby, nor did he rely on him to tell stories. Instead, he still had to worry about whether Yan Heyi's lips were dry, whether the wound hurt or not Pressed down on swollen ankles.

Yan Heyi continued: "You are obviously so uncomfortable and so scared, but because you are afraid that I will worry, you forced a smile in front of me."

"Not only did I not let you live a good life, but I made you like this. I don't want you to be like this. I would rather you complain on my bed and urge me to cook for you. I don't want you to be like this either. "

"I don't want to be your burden, Yuanxi."

Xu Shi talked too much, Yan Heyi coughed suddenly, her neck was red from coughing.

"Brother, calm down."

Yuan Xi poured a glass of water into the jug and handed it to Yan Heyi's mouth. Yan Heyi took the glass, raised her head and drank it, then coughed it all up again.

"Slow down, brother." Yuan Xi rubbed his chest lightly, waiting for him to calm down slowly, "Is it still uncomfortable? Go to sleep, brother."

Yan Heyi felt that this question was unavoidable, so he had to make it clear today. He stared at Yuan Xi's eyes, raised his hand and rubbed his head, and said word by word: "Yuan Xi, I'm serious."

Yuan Xi shook off his hand and took a step back: "Mr. Yan, what exactly do you like about me?"

Yan Heyi froze in place.

Yuan Xi took another step back: "Please, Mr. Yan, can you stop torturing yourself like this."

He shouted to Yan Heyi: "Mr. Yan, you have already proposed to me, and we are going to get married soon!"

"Do you know what this means? It means that every word you just said was a knife against me, and it was all your wishful thinking."

"Can you hear what I think?"

Yuan Xi stepped back a few more steps, one foot on the threshold, the moonlight behind him sprinkled the courtyard, Yan Heyi couldn't see Yuan Xi's face clearly.

He hesitated for a moment, and put his other foot on the threshold: "I don't want Mr. Yan who can be defeated in one blow, and I don't want you to take everything on yourself every time something happens, and then Make what you think is good for me."

"I was the one who wanted to eat candied haws last time, and I trusted someone to follow him back. You have already suffered so many injuries for me, so you don't owe me anything."

"It's over, no matter who's fault it is, and no matter how difficult it is, can we not let it affect us?"

"When people become brothers, they all know how to share blessings and difficulties together. We will get married in the future. Why can't we even do these eight words in this relationship?"

"Yan Heyi, can you stop always shrinking back, always like a log, always pushing me away again and again!"

Yan Heyi was a little shaken by these words, he opened his mouth, but only called out "Yuanxi".

Yuan Xi wiped the tears from his face indiscriminately: "After dinner last time, I read with you at the desk. Do you still remember the "Book of Songs" you told me?"

"Mr. Yan, you say, "My heart is a rock, and I can't change it." "

The words in Yuan Xi's mouth were broken into pieces, and it took a lot of effort to say the next sentence: ""My heart is full of emotions, I can't roll it." "

He ran to the desk, found the yellowed Book of Songs, turned to that page, patted it in Yan Heyi's arms, and retreated to the place where he was standing at the door.

"Besides, my parents have also agreed, if you leave me behind, they will definitely come to you!"

Yan Heyi was pinching the "Book of Songs" in her hand in a daze. The cheap books bought in the town were irregularly printed, but those two sentences were particularly clear.

Yuan Xi slightly opened his hand towards Yan Heyi: "I'll count to ten, if you come over and kiss me, I'll pretend I didn't hear what you just said, otherwise, I don't want you either."

"I'm counting, one!"

"One" has not been fully uttered, Yan Heyi, as if waking up from a big dream, dropped the book in her hand, ran over in two or three steps, and kissed the mouth that was still stained with blood.
