Cut Frost

Chapter 21 21. Cold Bamboo Dragonfly 1
You Jue twitched the corners of his mouth, turned around and continued to walk forward.

He walked very fast, and Yu'er followed, and seeing that he was indeed walking towards the village, he slowed down and walked back slowly.

When he returned to Uncle Tang's house, he had already turned on the lamp, and a table of meals had been prepared.

Xiao Mi and the others were already sitting at the table waiting for her.

Seeing her return, Xiao Mi said happily, "Sister Yu'er, where have you been? We've been waiting for you for a long time."

"I didn't go anywhere, I just went to the beach for a walk." Yu'er smiled.

As he said that, he looked at You Jue who was sitting, and You Jue was looking at her coldly.

Yu'er looked at him with a smile and winked at him.

You Jue lowered her eyebrows and ignored her.

"Sit down quickly, everyone is waiting for you." Tang Bo stood up and greeted.

"Okay, what delicious food did you make today?" Yu'er smiled and sat down on Xiao Mi's left.

"Uncle Tang made broad beans today! My favorite!" Xiao Mi smiled at Yu'er.

"Why haven't I heard that you like to eat this?" Yu'er said.

"I ate it for the first time today." Xiao Mi said.

"You stole it?" Yu'er said.

"That, no," Xiao Mi hurriedly defended, hesitating for a while, stretched out a finger, and said, "Just ate one, just one!"

"Eat more if you like it." Tang Bo said with a smile.

"Yeah." Xiao Mi was overjoyed.

Xiaodong and Xiaobei also ate happily.

************
The lights dimmed, the night darkened.

You Jue sat at the table and did not fall asleep.

The clear moonlight fell on him through the window lattice, and he closed his eyes slightly and leaned against the table.

Everyone was asleep.

You Jue suddenly got up, opened the door and walked into the courtyard.

During the day, the fish baskets that Tang Bo had made were placed in a corner of the courtyard, and there were still green bamboo strips that had not been used up.

The thin bamboo strips are slightly cold under the frosty moonlight.

You Jue pulled out a bamboo stick, held it in his hand, stared blankly for a while, and turned the bamboo stick in his hand unconsciously with his fingers.

Soon, a fresh bamboo dragonfly stood in his palm.

The slight coolness on the bamboo strips also seemed to slowly spread to his heart through the palm of his hand.

"Quietly."

A voice whispered his name.

You Jue's hand suddenly trembled, and the bamboo dragonfly fell to the ground.

He turned his head, Yu'er was standing at the door looking at him.

"It's so late, what are you doing?" Yu'er smiled at him.

You Jue did not answer, and walked towards Yu'er.

He walked to the door and passed Yu'er, but said nothing, pushed the door open and entered the house.

Yu'er looked at his back and walked to the place where he was standing just now. Was she looking at the fish basket made by Tang Bo during the day?
Suddenly I saw something lying next to the bamboo basket, I bent down and picked it up. It turned out to be a hand-woven bamboo dragonfly.

Tang Bo has never made up this thing, You Jue is just standing here, is it just to make up this thing?

Thinking of how shaken and shocked he was when he saw Tang Bo weaving a fish basket in the daytime, I'm afraid this thing has a lot to do with him.

So she put the bamboo dragonfly in her sleeve and returned to the house.

You Jue lived in the outer room, and was lying facing the wall at this time.

Yu'er didn't call him either, and went into her and Xiao Mi's room, still laying down and sleeping.

**************
Tang Bo's health was much better, and he was thinking about going out to sea to fish.

Yu'er was worried that his body had not recovered yet, so she wanted to go with him.

When Xiao Mi heard that she could go out to sea to play, she was very excited: "I'll go too, I'll go too."

Yu'er shook her head and said, "Xiaodong and Xiaobei are unattended, so you should stay."

Xiao Mi looked at Xiaodong and Xiaobei, and had no choice but to nod: "Then take me there next time, okay?"

"Understood, when sister Qingyi and brother Changli come back, we will go together." Yu'er said.

So before dawn, Yu'er went out to sea with Tang Bo to go fishing.

With Yu'er accompanying, Tang Bo returned with a fruitful day and was very happy.

Xiaodong and Xiaobei have never seen their father catch so many fish, and they are also very excited.

The fish was brought to the market that day and sold for a lot of money. Tang Bo bought some snacks and toys for the brothers and sisters. The two children were naturally very happy.

When You Jue came back, she was a little dazed when she saw the smiling faces of the two children holding toys and eating snacks.

Yu'er scolded him and said with a smile, "You want to eat it too? I'll buy you some next time."

You Jue frowned at her and said, "No need."

**********
The next day, Tang Bo went to the market to sell the fish left over from yesterday, and Yu'er was washing Xiaobei's hair in the courtyard.

"Where's Xiao Mi?" Xiao Bei asked Yu'er.

"She went out to play with Xiaodong." Yu'er said.

As he spoke, he painted Xiao Bei's saponins, and gently rubbed her hair with her.

"Eyes, eyes!" Xiaobei suddenly exclaimed.

"Does your eyes hurt?" Yu'er hurriedly asked, "Wait a minute."

He stretched out his hand to get the cloth towel, but found that there was also soap stick on his hand, I was afraid it was inappropriate.

Wanting to fetch water to wash his hands first, Xiaobei called out again.

"Okay, okay, okay, soon!" Yu'er hurriedly responded to her, and did not go to fetch water, she just bent down and cleaned the basin in front of her. Ash doesn't hurt people, so the expedient measure is to clean your hands with it first.

Standing up, he hurriedly went to get the cloth towel, but saw a person handing over a damp cloth towel.

But it is secluded.

"When did you come back?" Yu'er asked in surprise.

"I just came back." You Jue only said.

Yu'er took a closer look at his brows and eyes, as if it were softer...

"Sister Yu'er, hurry up, hurry up, hurt..." Xiaobei urged again.

Yu'er quickly took the towel from You Jue's hand and bent down to wipe Xiao Bei's eyes.

"Okay, it doesn't hurt anymore." Xiaobeidao, "Thank you, Sister Yu'er."

"It doesn't hurt anymore? That's fine." Yu'er said.

"Sister Yu'er, are you ready to wash?" Xiaobei said.

"Ah, not yet, wash it again." Yu'er responded and continued to wash Xiaobei's hair.

Rinse with water for a while, dry with a large cloth, and then take a comb and comb her hair neatly.

"It's a good day today, I'll be dry in a while, let's bask in the sun for a while." Yu'er said to Xiaobeidao.

"Okay." Xiaobei replied crisply.

Yu'er took the basin to pour water, and when she walked past You Jue, who was sitting at the table, she turned her head and smiled at him, "Thank you just now."

You Jue only said lightly: "No need."

Yu Erfang cleaned up the yard, and Xiao Mi ran into the yard by herself, holding two peonies that she picked from somewhere.

It's summer now, but the peony is still blooming beautifully. I think it's because the time in the mountains is late, and it seems like a warm spring.

"Sister, do you look good?" Xiao Mi handed the flower to Yu'er, but found that she might be running a little faster. The stalk of a peony had been broken, and the bright red flower hung weakly on the broken stem. .

"Oh, why is this happening?" Xiao Mi said sadly, looking at the broken peony.

"This flower stalk is so delicate, how can it stand up to you?" Yu'er said, "Forget it, throw it away."

"Look at this flower, it's still so beautiful, what a pity to throw it away!" Xiao Mi refused.

"It's broken, there's no way to raise it, and it's useless to keep it." Yu'er said, "Can you make it grow again?"

The two of them are free to talk to each other here, but You Jue stares directly at the broken peony in Xiao Mi's hand.

Suddenly, the warm and soft Qilin power in the body slowly overflowed.

Yu'er Yard looked around outside the courtyard, missing Xiaodong, and hurriedly asked, "Where is Xiaodong?"

"Ah, Xiaodong?" Xiao Mi heard Qingyi ask, and suddenly threw the peony in her hand and ran out quickly, shouting, "I forgot him on the mountain."

"This is really like what you did." Yu'er shook her head behind her.

Yu'er entered the house and took out the grate, sat with her back to You Jue, and began to brush Xiaobei's hair.

You Jue sat at the table with her head resting.

After a while, she opened her eyes and saw that Yu'er was still gating Xiaobei, as if she was about to finish the grate.

The fallen peony is still lying there.

You Jue looked at the broken peony lying on the ground.

After looking at it for a while, he got up and walked over, picking it up in his hand.

A dense azure light appeared, gently covering the peony.

Broken branches will slowly heal, fresh as new.

You despaired of the rosy-colored peony in her hands.

A pair of immature hands suddenly appeared in his mind.

These little hands are carefully holding a broken dandelion.

A group of shallow blue light appeared, and the broken stem of the dandelion grew steadily...

Suddenly someone shouted: "Sister Yu'er, sister Yu'er..."

You Jue hurriedly hid the peony in her hand in her sleeve.

"Isn't this Xiao Mi's voice?" Yu'er asked curiously, "What's going on?"

When I stood up and looked at it, I saw Xiao Mi rushing towards here.
