Jiang Xixi pulled Xun'er into Jihong Embroidery Village, and as soon as she stepped into the door, she shouted loudly: "Miss Yan, I brought Xun'er over to give you New Year's greetings." ” A head poked out of the stove room in his right ear, "There is no New Year's money here, but there are balls to eat."
As he spoke, he walked out with two soup bowls, put them on the stone table, and said to Chong Xun'er, "The fresh meat balls that have just come out of the pot, eat them while they are hot, and collect the freshly slaughtered New Year's pigs, which are fragrant." ” Xun'er unceremoniously took the bowl and ate it with her right ear, Jiang Xixi saw that the two of them were afraid of being hot and reluctant to keep their mouths, and couldn't help but laugh secretly, "Slow down, don't burn your tongue, right ear, is Miss Yan in the house?"
” "Here, she doesn't like to be lively, and she doesn't go out during the New Year."
Jiang Xixi opened the door curtain and walked into the room, and saw Yan Niang sitting at the table embroidering, so she quietly walked behind her and horizontally held the plum blossom in her hand in front of her, "Is it beautiful?"
Shi Jin Shi Fei didn't rob me, the most beautiful branch was picked by me, and now I give it to the girl, which is a New Year's gift. ” Yan Niang stretched out her hand, took the flower to her nose and smelled it, "The smell of winter plum is not strong, but it is rare and elegant, thank you Miss Jiang." ” Jiang Xixi smiled, "By the way, there is one more thing to give to the girl," she said and took out a stack of plum blossom paper, flipped through it for a long time, found one of them and handed it to Yan Niang, "This is Lord Cheng's New Year's greeting note, he has to write it every year, this one is the girl's." ” Yan Niang opened the notepad and saw that it read: Shun Shun Ruyi, Xin'an Cheng Mu is in the shape of a hand.
He lowered his head and smiled lightly, "When did I become a friend of your family in the officialdom, and even the annual stickers have my share." ” Jiang Xixi said with a straight face: "The girl misunderstood, my family has always only recognized friendship, regardless of official rank, the girl has helped Xin'an Mansion so much, of course he wants to send Zhang Nian to post it." ” "Then take me and thank you."
Having said that, Xun'er walked in after eating the balls, Yan Niang beckoned him over, brushed her hair and looked at his neck, "Your circle is also a little old, take it off and I'll help you re-tie a red thread." ” Xun'er obediently handed her the collar, and then stared at a pair of big round eyes and asked, "Yan Niang, it's lively outside now, there are all kinds of delicious and fun things, why are you tired of being at home and don't go out to have a look?"
” Yan Niang yawned, "I've seen all the lively scenes when I was young, but now it's boring to watch anything, okay, you have to go with your sister Jiang to send the New Year's sticker, go early and return early, don't go crazy." ” Jiang Xixi took Xun'er towards the door, and when she walked to the door, she felt that Yan Niang's words just now were a little wrong, "When you were young?
Does Miss Yan feel that she is no longer there now?
She's really worried. ” The two of them sent the New Year's sticker door to door according to the address given by Cheng Muyou, and it was not until twilight approached that the paper in their hands was almost finished, and only the last one was left.
"Chang Jia?
This is Mr.
Oshishi's house in the house, let's go, we can go back after we send this one, and we have to go to the embroidery village to get the collar. ” Because it is the last one, the footsteps of the two are also a lot brisker, after arriving at the Chang family, Chang Chunze is warm to them, good tea and good fruits are served, his son Chang Yuan and Xun'er are the same age, after meeting quickly played together, the two children took advantage of the adults to talk in the house, came to the courtyard together, found two dead branches, and played with the fish in the pool.
The Chang family raised a pool of koi, yellow yellow, red red, taking advantage of a pool of clear water, more and more colorful.
Xun'er took a fancy to a big orange-red fish, so she sprinkled a handful of fish insects, trying to lure it over, and the other fish saw the fish insects falling into the water, and they all opened their mouths to fight and flutter on the water, but the fish didn't know whether it was full or what, but swam towards the other side of the pool.
Xun'er then went around to the other end of the pond and threw another handful of fish worms at the lonely big fish in the water.
Xun'er wondered in her heart, took the withered branch and pounded it on the water, the water waves moved lightly, rippling out a circle of lines, the center of the lines, but slowly floated a head, the person turned his back to Xun'er, and the black silk on his head was soaked in water, and it was sticking to the scalp like a few black paints.
Xun'er opened her mouth half-open, and the dead branch fell off her hand and landed on the surface of the water, with a "snap".
The man seemed to be alarmed by this voice, and slowly turned his face towards Xun'er, what kind of face was it, the eyebrows, eyes, nose, and mouth were all gone, but it couldn't be said that there was nothing at all, because they all seemed to be fused together, and they couldn't tell what was what, the whole face seemed to be covered with a layer of white mist, and even the edges of the face were rough, not like a person, but like a shadow falling into the water.
Xun'er reluctantly stood up from the edge of the pool, and his first reaction was to touch the collar around his neck, but this time he touched the air, his neck was empty, there was nothing, and his collar had been handed over to Yan Niang this morning.
At this moment, the water waves shook a few times, the man moved, and walked towards the edge of the pool, the black wet method was attached to Bai Huahua's face, and the thick ink and color of the stroke set off the whole face even more terrifying.
Xun'er felt a cold air coming from the soles of his feet, all the way to the Tianling Gai, making his body stiff with ice, and he couldn't move a step.
He watched as she walked slowly to the edge of the pool, her fingers covering the top of his feet and ankles, all the way to his waist.
The stomach ached violently, and the intestines seemed to be pulled by something, kneaded, and about to break.
He opened his mouth to scream, but as soon as he uttered an "ah" word, his throat was choked by the long, soft arm from the bottom up, and he couldn't utter a single word.
He saw Jiang Xixi's figure from the window, she was talking to Chang Chunze, chatting and drinking tea, as if she didn't notice the situation outside the house at all.
A wave of despair welled up in my heart, replacing the fear that had already filled my chest: Am I going to die?
Just beside this pool not far from Sister Jiang, it was obvious that she would see me if she turned her head slightly, but it seemed that she couldn't wait for that time.
"Plop."
The center of the pool was smashed hard, and the water splashed and fell on Xun'er's eyes, and then, Jiang Xixi's voice came out of the house, "Chang Yuan, Chang Yuan fell into the water" The sound became more and more real from far to near, the blur in front of Xun'er disappeared, he rubbed his eyes, and saw that Jiang Xixi had jumped into the pool and fished out the wet Chang Yuan from under the pool.
