Evening.The moonlight was like water, sprinkled in the quiet room, gilding this ordinary evening with a layer of silver tenderness.Cheng's mother was lying next to Cheng Zi, the years had left traces in the corners of her eyes, but they couldn't erode the warmth in her eyes, and she whispered about the past, "At that time, you were only two years old, and you were so old, you had to drag your brother to sleep between me and your father."
said that when the tiger comes, you can eat your father and brother first, and your mother will sleep in the innermost part and protect it" Cheng's mother's voice was like silk, flowing in the night, with endless tenderness and a faint smile.Cheng Zi listened quietly, her eyelids trembled slightly, the corners of her mouth hooked up a shallow smile, and she slowly and quietly fell asleep in Cheng's mother's gentle voice.The moonlight and words of this night have become the most rare touch of warmth in her dreams.The next day.The ancient city was gently shrouded in a delicate light rain, and the original plan to go to Cangshan was disrupted.The three of them could only stay in the hotel, sit by the window, and watch the drops of crystal raindrops quietly fall on the bluestone ancient road of the ancient city, splashing a faint mist, which is very beautiful.Cheng Zi went to his bag and rummaged through it, found a small notebook, and leaned on the sofa in the hotel lounge to draw.Watching the light rain drip from early morning to dusk, the ancient city changes colors in the rain, from bright to soft, from clear to hazy.The cobblestone pavement has been washed by the rain and mirrored, reflecting the mottled old buildings and the shadows of flickering lanterns.A light rain gently beats on the eaves, giving off a soothing rhythm.As the rain stopped, the rain-themed design drafts also came to an end.I don't know when, Cheng's father and Cheng's mother went out to buy food, and an old man sat not far behind Cheng Zi.The old lady was dressed in national costume and smiled gently.After the rain, the ancient city is even quieter, and the air is filled with the smell of moist earth, which is intertwined with the faint woody fragrance of the hotel, which is particularly comfortable."
Little girl."
Cheng Zi stretched her waist, and when she turned around, she saw an old lady smiling at her."
Hello grandma."
The old lady got up, sat down beside her, and pointed to the painting in her hand, "The little girl is a tailor?"
”Cheng Zi was noncommittal, thinking that what she said was right, so she nodded."
The clothes you drew are beautiful and rare.""
Thank you, but why does grandma say it's rare?"
Praise is beautiful, Cheng Zi can understand, but what does it mean to be rare?
The old lady's face flashed with surprise, "Aren't these paintings made into tie-dye?"
I look at your color" Cheng Zi glanced at the pen in her hand, she didn't bring other tools, she just used a blue ballpoint pen casually, so the picture presented was the color of a ballpoint pen.After thinking about it for a while, I remembered that the Bai tie-dye, with royal blue as the main tone, is somewhat similar."
Does grandma know tie-dye?
It's amazing. ”Cheng Zixiang opened the old lady's words, and the old lady took out a handkerchief in her pocket, and pointed to the headscarf on her head, "Of course, we have learned it since we were children, and we have old crafts." ”"The tie-dye of our Bai nationality is not a simple cloth dyeing.You see the pattern on this handkerchief, every wrinkle, every color, is carefully designed. ”"Tie, bind, dip, dye, every step requires patience and skill.Moreover, each pattern has its own story, some depict beautiful landscapes, some symbolize life and hope" The old lady's words were full of pride, as if the pattern on the handkerchief was the world in her heart, colorful and full of depth."
Grandma!"
Before he finished speaking, Xiaopang ran over, rushed forward, and nodded at Cheng Zi.Cheng Zi was a little unclear."
I'm sorry, Sister Cheng, my mother didn't watch for a while, and my grandma ran out of the backyard."
In an instant, the shrewd old lady just now, her eyes became wooden, and she smirked, like an Alzheimer's patient, "I'm really sorry, I didn't scare you, did I?"
But don't worry, I won't let her come to the front yard again, I'm really embarrassed. ”Cheng Zi hurriedly waved his hand, "It's okay, it's okay, grandma just told me about tie-dye, she didn't do anything." ”Just then, a guest on the second floor came down and it was a young couple.The female comrade covered her nose with her left hand in disgust, and fanned her right hand, "How can there be a nervous disorder in this yard?"
Can you still live in people?
”The man next to her didn't look good, "If you can't do it, let's change to a hotel, it's not safe." ”Chubby was so anxious that his forehead was sweating, and he kept apologizing to the guests and saying he was sorry.Pull the old lady back.The old lady was not noisy or noisy, but only looked down at the handkerchief in her hand, and smiled happily, as if she could not hear it at all.Cheng Zi didn't say anything, picked up the notebook and walked to his room."
I just saw her talking and laughing with a psychopath upstairs, she looks like a good girl, can't she be a neurotic too," the lesbian whispered to the man next to her.Seeing that Xiaopang was pulling people away, they muttered and went out of the door.Cheng Zi felt a little uncomfortable, people in this era know very little about Alzheimer's disease, and even the name Alzheimer's is rarely used, generally regardless of age, collectively referred to as neurosis.It's still the type of neuropathy that is taboo.Cheng's father and Cheng's mother happened to come back from buying food from outside, and they listened to it when they passed by the couple.Seeing Cheng Zi standing at the door with a bad face, Cheng's mother hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Ah Zi, what's wrong?"
What strange people are there in the hostel?
”Cheng Zi shook her head, "No, it's just that a grandmother just came out and said a few words to me." ”Cheng's mother looked at her worriedly, "Are you okay?"
What grandma?
Didn't say any nonsense to you, did you?
”Cheng Zi was a little helpless, "No, grandma just told me about Bai tie-dyeing, she said that the design I drew is very suitable for tie-dyeing, and I came this time to see this old technique." ”Xiaopang also settled the old lady out, and when she heard Cheng Zi say this, her face stiffened obviously, and she asked uncertainly: "Sister Cheng, you said that my grandma told you that she was tie-dyed?"
”"yes, yes.""
Are you sure she told you she tie-dyed?
Tie-dye of our Bai tribe?
”"yes, that's right."
Chubby's whole face collapsed, bitter, like Chubby bitter gourd."
Is there something wrong?"
Cheng Zi and the others were invited to sit down at the big table next to the front desk."
Aunt Cheng, you can eat here, the location is bigger, it is convenient to eat, I will make you a cup of tea."
Chubby obviously has something to say.The Cheng family also happened to have dinner and did not refuse.
