[Old Nine Gates] Longevity

There were not many tables of guests coming to eat in the afternoon, and Mingyue was also happy and leisurely.

In the end, there was no one to talk to her. Mingyue wanted to find the girl to play for a while, but today Uncle Gu's house didn't have a stall at all, and the girl disappeared even more.

Seeing that it was getting dark, the other stall vendors were also packing up and going home. Mingyue packed up the stall and looked at the two full carts with a headache.

It's normal for the eldest brother and sister-in-law to go back to the countryside and live outside the city tonight, but where did the second brother go wild?

How could she, a skinny little girl, take back so many things by herself?Throw everything here?But how can it make people feel at ease if the guy who eats is put at this crossing where people come and go?

Where did this second brother go?Mingyue anxiously tried to lift the cart and put it down again, but she could only push one with all her might.What about the other cart thing?

Just when Mingyue was anxious like an ant on a hot pot, someone came out from the pear garden. Mingyue took a look: the familiar moonlight gown, smiling face, who else but Lin Feng?

Mingyue knew that Lin Feng was the young troupe leader of Liyuanzi, and he had already learned enough to be a teacher to be able to perform on stage; Mingyue also knew that although he had been on stage for less than half a year, he was already a well-known red character in Changsha City!

Now everyone would call him Er Ye, his stage name is Er Yuehong.

Isn't there a show for him tonight?Mingyue just heard from Mrs. Kuo and Ms. Gui who came and went. They said that tonight they came to see Er Yuehong's specialty - Mu Kezhai.

"Mingyue, are you alone?" Before Mingyue could think about it, Lin Feng walked over to Mingyue with a concerned expression.

"Brother and sister-in-law have gone back to the door. Second brother... Second brother, I don't know where I went." Mingyue said with some grievances. She waited at the stall all afternoon but did not see her second brother.

Worried and anxious, with a hint of fear in her grievances, the eight-year-old girl is still just a child no matter how much she looks like an adult. When the familiar Lin Feng arrives, Mingyue's emotions collapse instantly.

She looked at her little brother who looked at her with concern on his face. Big tears that couldn't stop falling from his eye sockets hit the clothes and the dusty ground.

Seeing Mingyue crying, Lin Feng also panicked.

He is the only child in the family, so he doesn't have much experience in taking care of others, so he quickly squatted down and hugged the little girl who started to cry: "Yue'er is not crying, it's okay, it's okay, brother is here."

The little girl who was crying like a little cat looked at Lin Feng with a panicked look and continued to cry.The little brother's arms are fragrant and warm, his voice is beautiful, and he is very gentle when comforting others.

Being very close, Mingyue could see his long and curly eyelashes, as well as the sweat on Lin Feng's forehead.

She knew that Lin Feng was going to be on stage today, and it must be because of her that he rushed out of the pear garden in a hurry.After crying for a while, Mingyue said aggrievedly: "

There are too many things on the stall, and I can't take them back by myself.It's getting dark, and the eldest brother, sister-in-law, and second brother are not here! "Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Mingyue's words. He thought that someone was bullying Mingyue when he was gone.

Lin Feng called two buddies and asked them to take back the contents of the two carts.Lin Feng held Mingyue's hand, and the two walked back slowly by the moonlight.

The little girl's eye circles were still red, and Lin Feng bought a small windmill for Mingyue at the grocery stall that was about to close.In the evening, there was a lot of wind in the box, Mingyue played with the windmill and followed Lin Feng home.

The guys pushed the cart to the house first, and Mingyue and Lin Feng walked behind holding hands.I can see the bright moon in the distance, and the whole area of ​​my house is dark, and there is no light on.

Whether it's Aunt Liu's family, Uncle Gu's family, or Mr. Cheng's family, there is no one.The two guys put the things in the yard and went back.

Lin Feng stayed behind, he said he wanted to accompany Mingyue, a little girl was not safe here.

Mingyue watched as Lin Feng rubbed the scribe with a match, and the fire lighted up. He tapped the cotton wick four times lightly, and the whole room lit up.

"Is Mingyue hungry?" Lin Feng looked at the kitchen and then at the small trolley he pushed back and said, "How about I make you a bowl of wonton noodles?"

Mingyue originally wanted to decline, but Lin Feng was a guest, and she even brought out all the food for their family. How could she let them cook?

But Mingyue is really curious, can a son like Lin Feng really know how to cook?

Lin Feng saw that there were still noodles and leftover wontons in the stall.He rolled up his sleeves and smiled brightly at Mingyue: "Brother, let's show Yue'er a good show!"

Just like how Mingyue made wontons at noon, Lin Feng took a piece of wood and wrapped half a board of round wontons.

He added some fine firewood to the stove of the cart, and when the chicken noodle soup was bubbling and boiling, he cracked two eggs.

Put the thin noodles first, and then sprinkle in the small wontons. When everything is cooked, it can fill two bowls. When he saw that there was still half of the plate left, Lin Feng scooped out two spoonfuls and put them on the surface without changing the color. Live together!

Guarding four lamps, a small boxy wooden table, two bowls of nondescript but solid wonton noodles, a boy and a half and a little girl less than ten years old, the two of them ate deliciously.

After eating the noodles, Mingyue went to wash the dishes, but she didn't see her second brother back after the dishes were cleaned.

It was too late, Lin Feng couldn't stay any longer.He took Mingyue out to Aunt Liu's room.

Dangdang knocked on the door, unexpectedly there was someone in the room.

The girl next to Aunt Liu, Xiuxiu, was wearing an undershirt and an overshirt, looking out sleepily holding a kerosene lamp: "Who is it, are you going to sleep this late at night?"

Seeing Mingyue outside the door, she hurriedly took Mingyue and Lin Feng in.

Lin Feng stopped outside Aunt Liu's house, and he waved goodbye to Yue'er: "Brother sent you here today, go in quickly. Mingyue, see you tomorrow"

Mingyue said goodbye to Lin Feng and went into Aunt Liu's room. Aunt Liu was lighting a small lamp and doing needlework before she fell asleep. Mingyue saw that it was not a girl's clothes this time.

Aunt Liu was already lying on the bed, covering herself with the quilt and doing something with her body crooked.In the middle of the night, there was no trace of tiredness on her face, but there was an aura in the eyes that the moon could not tell.

Her whole body was full of energy, her face was flushed, and even her voice was full of joy.

The things Aunt Liu embroidered were dusty, but they looked like men's sweat towels.Seeing Mingyue entering the house, Aunt Liu put down all the work she was doing, and carried Mingyue to the bed.

Mingyue and Aunt Liu explained the whole story clearly, and Aunt Liu asked the girl to wash Mingyue's face and feet with water, took off her coat and lay down in Aunt Liu's bed in her underwear.

Aunt Liu said affectionately: "Yue'er is sleeping with Aunt Liu tonight, can Aunt Liu sleep with Mingyue in her arms?

This Li Tomorrow, being a big brother, doesn't care too much, so he left his sister and all the things to you?Poor Moon!

Don't worry, Yue'er, I will have a good talk with your eldest brother and sister-in-law after they come back from their mother's house. "

Mingyue lay in Aunt Liu's soft and fragrant embrace, listening to Aunt Liu's gentle words, she saw a few red dots on Aunt Liu's snow-white neck.

Mingyue opened her mouth and said, "Aunt Liu, you were bitten by a mosquito, there are a lot of little red spots" Mingyue stretched out her small hand and tapped Aunt Liu's neck.

There was only a small lamp lit in the room, so she couldn't see clearly, but Mingyue felt that Aunt Luo Liu's face seemed to turn red following her words.

Aunt Liu spat and didn't know what to think of, she turned her body to block the little red spots, and coaxed Mingyue: "The night is getting dark, Mingyue should go to sleep."

Although Mingyue felt that Aunt Liu seemed to be hiding something from her, she fell asleep in Aunt Liu's warm embrace after thinking about it.

In the dream, the eldest brother and sister-in-law are enjoying the shade in the yard, holding a fat boy in their arms; the second brother is picking ripe tangerines from the tree with a stick.

Mr. Cheng catches the falling oranges with a basin, and the bright moon is swinging on the swing. The family of six lives happily and happily together.

Mingyue's swing was so high that she could gradually see the top of the wall.

Mingyue swings vigorously on the swing and wants to see the courtyard of Uncle Gu's house in front of her. She wonders what Uncle Gu and the girl are doing.

The bright moon swayed higher and higher, and finally saw the scene of other people's homes. Uncle Gu's yard and Aunt Liu's yard were empty, dead dark and silent.

Mingyue suddenly felt scared in her heart. She looked down and found that her yard was also dark.

The eldest brother, sister-in-law, and second brother are gone; the orange tree is gone, the little swing is gone; everything is gone...

Mingyue felt that the high swing she was swinging on suddenly disappeared, and she fell to the bottom without any precautions, and fell into endless darkness.

Mingyue opened her eyes and sat up from the bed in a hurry.She found that her back was covered in cold sweat, and even her forehead was covered with sweat. Panting heavily, she looked at the costumes placed by the bed in front of her.

Before she knew it, she fell asleep until noon.

She got out of bed and found that her underwear was soaked through.

Mingyue wanted to go to the table to pour some water, and then found someone arguing outside, "How many times have I told you? Don't bring the old Li's offspring into the field, why don't you listen to advice?

Wang Baqiu, your sister Liu's words are not easy to use now, are they? "The female voice with some coldness and anger was Aunt Liu's voice.

Mingyue quietly moved to the door, trying to hear more clearly.

Then she heard a low and flattering man's voice: "Sister Liu, how can you blame me alone, it's obviously that thief Li Er who has been pestering me and saying that I want to go to the ground.

I'm also annoyed by him.But sister Liu, don't tell me, Li Er is a quick learner, and he is really suitable for this line of work." The man laughed at the end.

Wang Baqiu, Xiadi, Housheng... Mingyue finally recognized who the voice was - it was Huo Qiu who ran out yesterday and ignored him.
