Grandma invited people into the house.
Except for Old Man Du and Tianbao, no one else was polite.
The poisonous old man acted like a fighting cock, stepping on the heels of the person holding him.
Tianbao didn't give in too much, but she was the one who was almost stepped on.
"That's almost it. Even if we are really old acquaintances before, you should restrain yourself and don't get so close. I'll beat them regardless of whether they are raw or familiar." Tianbao had a stinky face and squinted his eyes at the young man, warning in a low voice.
The young man's peach blossom eyes were crooked, and his voice was lazy and soft, "No way, Tianbao, I can't control it. It's been two years, and I'm afraid you'll disappear again."
The rogue words sounded like a joke. Tianbao turned his head and looked at the smiling handsome face, but his heart suddenly ached.
Behind this smiling face, there is deep pain.
Tianbao closed his eyes and exhaled.
never mind.
She eats soft things but not hard things.
"Don't step on me."
"good."
After entering the cabin, grandma lit a candle at night for the first time in two years. She kept only a small candle as a spare.
Even this one is very expensive, so in the past, grandma was never willing to use it.
The candlelight was on, and the layout of the room was clearly visible, which was very simple.
There is only a small dining table and four small stools in the small space.
A small wooden cabinet less than a person's knee high, and a small black iron pot.
There are no beds.
There was a corner of the room that had been cleaned, and the bed rolls were rolled up and placed. When sleeping at night, it was opened into a bed.
This place is offshore and is a fishing village.
The air was filled with the salty smell of sea water and dried fish, which was very unpleasant.
When they first traveled to Youshan together, they stayed in a small fishing town. At that time, everyone was so disgusted with the smell that they even joked that the bath water smelled of salted fish.
But Tianbao and the old man lived here for two years.
There was also Nanny, who had taken care of two wounded patients for two years. The strong smell of salted fish did not suppress the smell of herbs in the room.
The two of them couldn't imagine how Nanny survived, and how the old man and Tianbao survived.
"Mommy," Bai Yu looked at the old woman with silver hair and a kind face, his throat was blocked, "Thank you."
"This child, what are you grateful for? We met each other, how can I still ignore her?" Aunt Lu shook her head and laughed, "Besides, I entrusted Bing'er to you, and you have been taking care of her all these years. , I really want to say thank you, it’s me who should thank you.”
The old woman didn't know about space, the secret behind her resurrection, or how many years had passed since she became an orphan.
But she, Tianbao, and Old Man Du have been here for two years, and Mr. Bai and the others have been taking care of Bing'er for at least two years.
In her opinion, her acquaintance with Tianbao and Bai Yu was more like fate.
It's the fate of each other.
The candles burned slowly during the conversation, and we reunited after the accident. There was so much to say.
From the incident involving the Qiang people to the flood in Tubei Village, I could only pick out the important ones and couldn't finish them in a short while.
During the narration, the four people's emotions kept rising and falling, with mixed feelings.
It wasn't until there was a stabbing sound and the room suddenly became dark that a few people came back to their senses.
"Mammy, Tianbao, Old Man Du, now that we have found you, let's go back together tomorrow." In the darkness, Bai Xiaofeng said, "There are too many people in Tubei Village who miss you. Two years is already long enough. "
Tianbao hummed softly. Everything she heard just now was like listening to a story, which made her feel unreal, but her chest was really filled with an unfamiliar sour feeling.
She felt at a loss what to do.
"...I, I'm going to see if I really have that many disciples." The poisonous old man murmured for a long time, rubbing his hands constantly. Damn it, after hearing what the common man said to the boy from the Bai family, he thought about himself again. During these two years of leisurely life on the island, I felt like a sinner.
What's this called?
How could grandpa think of himself so much?
He went back and took a look. If ordinary people lied to him... he couldn't lie to him, right? It sounds like that!
The noisy noise outside gradually disappeared, the fishermen put out the fire, and fell asleep one after another after being frightened and tired for half the night.
It was late at night, and grandma was getting older after all. She couldn't stand the sleepiness, so she and Tianbao took a rest together.
Bai Yu and Bai Xiaofeng were forced to squeeze into Old Man Du's kennel.
In the end, Bai Yu chose to be the gatekeeper at the door.
The old man was lying alone in his kennel, tossing and turning.
The moonlight from outside came in, and when he opened his eyes, he could look at the tall man standing in the room, "There is something really wrong with you. You think grandpa's nest is not fragrant. Why don't you go sleep outside and leave me here to watch you?" sleep?"
The tall man sneered, "It's none of your business if you sleep in your bed. I love standing here."
"Young man, there are no outsiders here. Honestly, we are actually enemies, right?" The old man turned over and sat up, particularly distrustful of the tall man.
This time he really didn't dare to sleep, for he was afraid that as soon as he closed his eyes, the other party would do something dirty and make him die.
"We have a lot of grievances between you and me. I will remember them all. When I get back, I will give you the account book. You can figure out how to pay it back."
"I'll pay it back to you, uncle... come here, I can't sleep anyway, tell me more about Tubei Village?"
Bai Xiaofeng was silent for a moment, then reluctantly sat down next to the old man. He turned his head and looked at the night outside the window through the palm-sized air leak, "Really want to hear it?"
"I really want to hear it, otherwise it would be boring for us to stare at each other, right? Just tell me, grandpa, listen."
"snort."
In the small room, the man spoke in a low voice about Fengyun City, the three major forces, about the ruined temple where the old man was smashed, about the relationship between Tubei Village and Tianbao, and about a group of indifferent turtles on Kongliu Island...
The old man listened, tilted his head, and fell asleep on the taller man's shoulder, with a weird smile on his face, "Yeah...it turns out that smelly girl is really my granddaughter Tianbao..."
Bai Xiaofeng didn't move. He glanced at the wild hair in the bird's nest that pricked his neck from the corner of his eyes. He snorted again and sat down with his eyes closed.
Outside the door, a young man in black robe leaned against the doorframe, tilting his head and listening quietly to the breathing coming from the other side of the door.
It's shallow, even and long, and makes you feel at ease when you listen to it.
The moon sets again.
The door behind him creaked and someone opened it gently from the inside.
The woman who came out made a quiet gesture to him and gently closed the door.
"Mommy is asleep." Tianbao sat down next to the young man, hugged his knees with his hands, and tilted his head to look at him, "Your name is Bai Yu?"
Bai Yu also tilted his head and looked at her, happy and greedy, "My name is Bai Yu."
"I can't remember. But you look better in white clothes. You look heavy in this black one."
"I will change into white clothes tomorrow."
"Were you like this before? So obedient?"
"No." Bai Yu stared at her, his lips curved, his eyes deep and gentle, "I don't really listen to other people's words."
Tianbao raised his eyebrows, understanding, "Understood. The Hundred Heroes said that you have been defeated by me since you were a child."
After speaking, the woman waved her index finger in front of him, extremely arrogant, "If you dare not disobey, I will beat you."
The young man's laughter overflowed from his mouth, and he smiled more and more happily, "Yes, I don't dare. Senior sister is so fierce."
Tianbao held on for a moment, then curled his lips and showed his eight white teeth.
Comfortable.
