Allure

Chapter 8
Along the barely visible path, this half-walled low mountain faces the water on one side, but behind it is a gentle slope, which can lead to the bottom of the slope in all directions, but it is quite different from the image in memory. The former land border has become an endless green field. On the water surface, the wild pear and wild peach trees in the opposite valley have long since disappeared, replaced by green pines and forests.Looking down, you can see hardworking ants busy in the crevices of grass and rocks, and occasionally grasshoppers that are as green as grass leaves suddenly jump away.When you look up, there are snow-white clouds floating in the blue and clear sky, as if you are on the top of the mountain; when you look around, the water color and the mountain color melt into one, and the slight breeze brings the taste of the lake water, which is warm and refreshing.

Slowly, Zuo Nanxia's mood changed from sadness to tranquility, and in the tranquility, it seemed that he had slowly stepped into another time and space.

A time and space that exists in memory and never fades away.Zuo Nanxia unknowingly approached the foot of the mountain before stopping. His childhood memories seemed to be awakened by every detail he saw. , just like when I was a child, I can peel off the bark of the branches, scrape my nails, and blow it in my mouth, that is a country tune without syllables.After playing a few times, the childlike innocence was raised again, reaching out to catch the butterflies taking a nap in the flowers.

Zuo Xiying saw her father so happy from a distance, and quietly took a few photos without disturbing her. The affection for her homeland was beyond her comprehension, but it could be seen that her father was very nostalgic and immersed in the past. Good memories of home.

Huh?Straw rope?

Zuo Nanxia, ​​who was enjoying himself, accidentally saw a hand-wrought straw rope, which seemed to be newly twisted, with mud stains on it. When he pulled along the rope, a bucket was actually tied to the straw rope. He lifted the lid and took a look. His eyes lit up, and he was overjoyed immediately. It turned out to be several bastards who were still stretching their feet and crawling back and forth.

"Come on, Xiaoying."

Zuo Nanxia was overjoyed, squatting down and waving her hands, the daughter quickly stepped forward, groaned, and asked curiously as she looked at most of the foolish little bastards crawling around, "Dad, is this a turtle?"

"Yes, this is a fun thing. It's wild. When Dad was a child, he could tie up several of them with a straw rope." Zuo Nanxia said happily, but he was surprised again immediately, looking at the surrounding environment and said strangely: "This is someone caught Yes, if someone wants to catch them, where is the net? Is it a nest in the water or on the shore?"

"What makes a nest? Build a nest?" The daughter didn't understand.

The old man Zuo was amused, and told his daughter the local methods in the countryside. One is to make a nest in the water, the nest is large and the net is small, and the bait is put on it, waiting for the bastard to get in and eat, and then catch them in one go. Make a false nest on the shore, pull the bait from the water's edge to the false nest on the shore, trick the bastard out of the water into the nest to look for food, and then take a net.It is just a demonstration, and it is mentioned that no matter which method is used, it must be lured, and this kind of bait cannot be done by ordinary people.Thinking of luring food, I completely forgot what I was here for. I searched around and smelled a faint smell. Following the smell, I arrived at the water's edge, staring at the dark green water in a daze.

The daughter couldn't figure out how this matter would arouse her father's great interest. She just thought it was old and young, and the older she got, the more she looked like a naughty boy. She followed her father's temper everywhere, and instead of following her, she squatted beside the grass with great interest. Look at the half bucket of stupid big and small bastards.

By the water's edge, Zuo Nanxia didn't see Wo Shi, but he saw a pile of clothes thrown on the shore, and he was in a daze, when a voice came out of the clothes:

"Potato, potato, I'm sweet potato... you're going to die, come back."

The old man was stunned and then startled. He was taken aback. He repeated the voice twice before he realized that there was a walkie-talkie thrown under his clothes. When he picked it up, he looked around, but he didn't find the speaker. The signal sometimes does not work, this place can only use this kind of communication tool.At this time, I also understood that the turtle catcher got into the water, and the net must be under the water, nesting in deep water, this is a technique only an expert can do.

I squatted down and looked around, and my guess was confirmed. A thin plastic rope was hanging from the root of the grass and stretched straight into the water. The other end must be connected to a net.Before I thought about it, it was confirmed immediately. With a sudden "squeak", a wet head emerged from the water, followed by walking in the shallow water, holding a net in his hand, wiped his face, and saw an idiot squatting on the bank. Looking at his old man, the man was stunned, surprised, and sprayed: "Yo yo, such a silly old man came out there? Then my clothes, don't steal my things."

Zuo Nanxia was choked heavily, a big naked guy was pulling out the net, and he said it with a grumpy face, as if he really regarded himself as a thief.

This is not who Shan Yong is. The net got caught in the aquatic plants and he had to dive down to unload the net. Just as he saw the old man clearly, he saw someone not far away from where he was hiding the turtle. He immediately pointed his finger and shouted: "Hey, don't steal My bastard."

In the distance, Zuo Xiying, who was playing with the little bastard with great interest, turned her head and screamed, "Ah!" The sound was so unreal.

Shan Yong instantly saw that beautiful and terrified face clearly, and Zuo Xiying also saw clearly the naked Shan Yong who had walked into the water below his waist, and suddenly saw such a naked big man, and shouted in surprise, But he didn't know what to do next, and stood there with his mouth gaping, like a fool.

The beauty, the surprise condensed on the face, the beauty has a different style, the clothes are red like fire, the skin is whiter than snow, and the hair is as black as ink, the big surprised eyes are suddenly spirited, as if seeing something terrible... Yong looked at it several times, and suddenly realized that something was wrong, and something terrible was growing on him.

Zuo Xiying's face turned red, and it took him a while to get over it, he spat, turned his back, and ran far away to avoid it.He hid behind a tree, not daring to look at it.

Shan Yong was a little suffocated, and threw a net of big and small bastards on the shore, entangled the net mouth, and didn't care about wiping the water on his body. In this situation, he was at a loss for a while, and then burst out laughing.This country boy is really reckless.

He was going to leave, but for no reason he felt that this wild young man made him very curious. It seemed to have some kind of connection or commonality with his previous life experience. Judging by his physique, he was well-proportioned and fit, with several muscles following along. The action of putting on clothes was drumming and drumming, shining with enviable vitality.Looking at his appearance, he has thick eyebrows and big eyes, a hanging nose and a wide mouth. Although he looks wild, his eyes are very clear, not like a bad guy.

Accidentally seeing the net pulled up by this guy, Zuo Nanxia couldn't help hissing, the net was dragged quite a lot, there were two big, five small, seven and eight bastards struggling in the net, the old man Zuo stared and his eyes straightened, then The big one weighs seven or eight catties, and the small one weighs a lot, but I have never caught such a big one before, let alone a net dragged up by diving.

"Master." Shan Yong put on his clothes and became inexplicably polite. He called him the silly old man just now. Zuo Nanxia was surprised by such a polite address. Holding the net, the red-clothed girl who ran a long way with her eyes beckoning, asked in a low voice, "Who is that girl?"

It was startled, but that beautiful figure and face left a deep impression in Shan Yong's eyes.As for the old man Zuo, he instantly understood the reason why this guy became polite, he chuckled, and said narrowly, "Guess."

Guess what you said, not without a bit of pride and pride, I have studied and been a professor all my life, but the most satisfying work is what Shan Yong pointed to. After talking about it, I looked at Shan Yong with a smile. The two seemed to be smiling knowingly.

Unexpectedly, Shan Yong had a flash of inspiration, changed the topic, and guessed: "Your wife!?"

Flutter... Zuo Nan curled his lips, his anger crooked.Shan Yong immediately changed his words: "Oh, not your wife?"

The old man Zuo didn't expect to guess this result, he frowned and stared, and couldn't get out the words that choked his throat, Shan Yong smiled while lifting his pants: "Guess, we often There are those who hide from their wives and take their little wives for a walk... You guys know how to enjoy it, I want to live with you and bring such a young and beautiful girl, that's amazing."

"Go, it's not that...it's my daughter." Zuo Nanxia emphasized, afraid that Shan Yong would be embarrassed by guessing again, but unexpectedly Shan Yong waved his hand and said indifferently as he walked: "Be a daughter, that's what it means, everyone I understand...what's the embarrassment to say."

"You... how old are you, why are you full of filthy thoughts." Zuo Nanxia was really angry this time, pointing at Shan Yong, and was about to go forward to argue with this yellow-haired kid After a few sentences, unexpectedly, the footsteps rang, and the broken gong sound was still inside: "Potato, potato, I am sweet potato, talk back."

"Got it, I'm Tudou, what are you doing?" Shan Yong answered, ignoring the old man.

"Damn it, you're still alive, run away, Kuguan is on the mountain, don't catch you." Lei Dapeng sent a message.

"Understood, pack up and get ready to go, I'll go down from the back mountain." Shan Yong said.

He put on his footsteps, packed his things neatly, and was just about to leave when he suddenly turned his head to look at the old man and stared at himself in a daze, then looked again at this time, the old man was wearing an old-fashioned formal suit, like a Chinese tunic suit, with silver hair all over his head , clearer than fish scales, the subconscious movements are hands behind their backs, leaning forward to look at people.That stance was a bit condescending.Looking at the old man, then at the girl in red who dared not come over from a distance, and then thinking about the news reported by Lei Dapeng, Shan Yong asked suspiciously: "Master, are you...a high-ranking official at that level?"

"What do you think?" The old man was a little complacent, teasing the naughty boy's expression.Moreover, such a graceful demeanor is equivalent to giving Shan Yong an answer that is ready to come out.Unexpectedly, he teased the wrong person, Shan Yong rolled his eyes and scolded: "What are you dragging? Even a high-ranking official has stepped down from the stage, or you are still domineering on the stage, so come here for a walk when you have free time Da. Che, is it amazing to have a girl?"

Probably because he didn’t find out about the girl’s background. Shan Yong was a little angry and deliberately choked on the old man. This sentence made Zuo Nanxia laugh and cry. When she turned around and was about to leave, she was taken aback. Not far away, the girl in red came up at some point, staring coldly, as if she wanted to strip Shan Yong naked again. Facing such a frosty person, And the girl who is as gorgeous as peaches and plums, Shan Yong shut up all of a sudden, not daring to talk nonsense.

Looking at it closely, it is different. She has a nose and phoenix eyes, and her skin is so fair that she can bully Frost Saixue. Her eyes are as bright as stars and moons. She is a pure and pure beauty, so beautiful that people are inexplicably awe-inspiring, and dare not be wronged. Girl, Shan Yong, who has always been bold, is timid for no reason, and it is the first time in his memory that he has such a timidity that he does not face up to.But fortunately there is no embarrassment.The girl stepped forward a few steps, helped the silly old man in Shan Yong's eyes, and said softly: "Go, Dad."

Helping the old man to walk, with that demeanor, it can be seen that she is definitely not a mistress.Just looking at Shan Yong, Shan Yong, who was a bit guilty, was stabbed by the resentment from those beautiful eyes for no reason. He looked at him with disdain, sarcasm, and ignorance. Shan Yong was so disappointed when he went to the village, he felt that it would be better to be scolded all over the face.He stared blankly for a long time, until Lei Dapeng urged in the footsteps, and then went up the mountain in another direction with the harvest.

Not long after, on the way back, Zuo Nanxia once again turned his head to look at the young offspring who were leaving, the daughter became displeased, and said softly: "Dad, you are also a professor after all, you can talk to anyone anyway, maybe there Where's the Wild Boy!?"

Zuo Nanxia had lost Shan Yong's figure in his sight, turned his head and smiled and said to his daughter: "Hehe, you have been in Luzhou for a few days, how do you feel?"

"Well, it's good." Zuo Xiying gave a vague answer.My father shook his head and said as he walked: "Is it good? I don't think it's good to be surrounded by politeness, compliments, greetings, and lies. It's because of your sister that we can get this kind of hospitality." Light... I think this wild boy is living a very real life, very original, his emotions are written on his face, he will give you a few words when he is happy, and scold you when he is unhappy, hehe, this reminds me of I lived a free life here as a kid."

Still living in the memory, Zuo Xiying had no choice but to follow her father's temperament, the father and daughter chatted while walking, suddenly a sharp whistle caught their attention, and when they turned around, they saw the opposite from a distance. Standing on the top of the mountain, needless to say, is Shan Yong who has already gone up the mountain. The whistle is long and sharp, and one sound can last for more than ten seconds.Zuo Xiying was speechless, after walking so far, this guy never forgot to tease her.When he was about to pull his father away, he didn't expect his father to have a smile on his face, and said inexplicably: "He is showing his favor to you."

"Ah? Dad, what's the matter with you today." Zuo Xiying couldn't laugh or cry. Her father, who was always serious, was really out of character today, as if he felt destined to be with this bastard boy.Unexpectedly, Zuo Nanxia hummed along with the continuous whistling sound, walked while humming, and walked proudly with very stylish steps, humming and saying: "Listen carefully, this is Shangdang Bangzi In the repertoire, "Cheng Yaojin Calls for Marriage", it is about Cheng Yaojin leading Pei Cuiyun's horse and pedaling. Listening to this whistle, I have two years of experience. It's that part...I think I used to sell rakes as a shopkeeper, Leading a donkey to drive a mountain meeting, I have endured hardships and tiredness, and now I am not losing my strength as a groom..."

With the fading whistle, Zuo Nanxia hummed a fragment of the hometown opera, and his daughter Zuo Xiying also heard it. Because of her father, she knew a little about the Bangzi opera in her hometown, so she listened carefully. The tune in the whistle, it really has a tune, this tune almost fits the father's self-satisfaction, humming the opera lyrics and accompaniment, singing so happily, even she forgot the unhappiness just now, looking at the childlike innocence Da Qi's father couldn't help laughing......
