Liu San'er looked down at me, and I reached out to pick up a small wooden stick, wrote a word on the ground, and said, "San'er, what is this word?"

Without thinking, he said, "Zhou."

After saying that, I was stunned for a moment and looked at me with some confusion. I still smiled, didn't say anything, and wrote another word: "Where is this?"

"Yi."

"Well. I like this word very much. It is one of the best qualities in people."

He nodded, looked at the word for a while, and seemed to be hesitant in his heart, and lowered his head and said, "Qingying, what's wrong with you?"

I interrupted him and slowly wrote a few rows of words. He watched and slowly read it out-

"The ice in the abyss is three feet thick, and the plain snow covers thousands of miles. Your heart is like pine and cypress, but what is my heart like?"

I raised my head and smiled at him.

He looked at me hesitantly: "You wrote this-why?"

"Because, the word Yi and this poem are all like you."

“…”

"Although, I still hope that your life is like the poem I taught you last time."

He hesitated for a moment and said softly: "I feel the cold and the wind are squeezing, the apricot flowers are falling in the snow and the peach blossoms are red. I put on the swing cables in the late night, and the pavilions are hazy in the drizzle..."

"Yes, you have a good memory."

He scratched the back of his head with a little embarrassed look, looked at me, and said softly: "Actually, I like this poem very much. I think this poem is like your name."

“…my name?”

"Yeah." He said, blushing a little more, avoiding my eyes, and saying, "I think it's as beautiful as your name. It makes people feel very happy."

“…”

I suddenly couldn't speak and felt a soreness in the tip of my nose.

happiness……

happiness.

What I want throughout my life is just the tranquil happiness in front of me.

But flying alone is too lonely.

If you are a friend, you will never be afraid of death.

And if he wants to fly to a higher place, as his wife, as a friend, should accompany him to a higher place!

I said softly: "Liu Saner, I will teach you how to study."

The body I rely on suddenly stiffened, as if I couldn't believe my ears. He turned his head in shock and looked at me.

I looked at him with a smile: "Although I'm not very good at it, you-I can still afford it."

He looked at me foolishly, and after a while he said happily: "Qingying, you-you really agreed!?"

"Um."

I said, and laughed again: "From the future, don't hide the books in the firewood. If it gets burned, what do you give to others?"

He was embarrassed by me and his face turned redder.

After a while, he reached out and grabbed my hand. Because he was happy, his hand was shaking and he couldn't speak clearly: "Qing--Little, I--"

I smiled, held his hand back, patted him gently, and said, "I know you are motivated, and you always want to learn well. The reason why I have never taught you is not another reason, but I have told you before that sometimes, the more you know, the happier you may not be."

Liu Saner said: "I——"

"But I figured it out, too."

"I figured it out? What have you figured out?"

“…”

I looked at him, with a happy expression on my dark face, and shook my head with a smile, gently leaning my head against his shoulder. The two of them stopped talking and just looked at the beautiful scenery in front of them quietly.

.

From that day on, after having supper every night and after finishing my work at home, I sat at the table and started teaching Liu Saner to learn literature.

He was in his twenties, and it was actually too late to start studying at this time. Fortunately, he had studied in a private school for several years, and he still had a foundation. In addition, he was not bad at talent. Perhaps, he had the talent of his father and brother in his bloodline. Liu Shizhou was once a Jinshi of the Encade, and Liu Yi was also a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. Liu Saner had a good memory and learned things well. He learned from others and learned from other things. Although he was a piece of blank paper, he did not take any thoughts.

It's hard to bear, but the mosquitoes at night.

After autumn, there were a lot fewer mosquitoes, but they were still very poisonous. It hurts and itchy when I bite them. He and I often taught them. Both of us scratched our ears and heads and felt very sad. In the end, we could only hide on the bed and put down the mosquito net and light a candle to learn.

Tonight, he was asked to silence the ancient Chinese texts he had learned before. After he finished silence, I looked at him with a smile and said, "I remember when I told you that day, you obviously liked "Xiaoyaoyou" so much, why couldn't you silence it? This article "The Light and Heavy" is so boring, why did you silence it without saying a word?"

He seemed to be a little confused and smiled and said, "Yes, why?"

I looked at him again and smiled: "Forget it, let's not talk about those things today, let's talk about "Yanghuo".

"This?" He picked up the book and shook it twice: "I remember what the sir said before."

"Have you said it? Then tell me what have you said?"

"It's hard to raise women and villains."

...

The room suddenly became quiet. He sat opposite me. Although he didn't speak, his pursed lips clearly had an upturned curve, and his curved eyes were filled with joking and teasing light. I was immediately angry-

"Okay! You're still scolding me."

While saying that, he picked up the book and wrapped it into a roll and wanted to hit him.

He smiled and hid: "No."

"I'm still saying no!"

"What the Saint Confucius said."

"Stop coming!"

The book hit his back, and the sound of a slap. He laughed while hiding, but I pulled his sleeve and refused to let go. The two of them were making a fuss in a small bed. At this moment, we both heard the sound of a serene sound from the inner room. It seemed that Aunt Liu was awakened by us. She got out of bed and muttered, "What are you two doing if you don't sleep?"

Liu Saner and I were both startled and were afraid that she would see us light candles on the bed and beg for a long time. He quickly hugged me in his arms, and then leaned forward and blew out the candle behind me.

The room suddenly fell into darkness.

I had a fuss with him just now, and I had a little uneven breath. I was held in my arms like this, my slightly red cheeks pressed against his chest, and I felt the ups and downs there, and the beating heart under my chest, as if it was thumping, thumping, thumping, and thumping, as if it was thumping more and more violently.

Uncontrollably, my cheeks were a little hot.

His breath and smell were caged in such a small bed, as if my whole body had been integrated into his body.

In the darkness, every breath and every heartbeat of his heart became more and more obvious, as if the sounds hit my heart. The posture that was originally docked on his chest was a bit awkward. I subconsciously moved for a moment, but immediately felt my hands and feet softened, and subconsciously reached out and grabbed the collar of his chest.

And he seemed to be caught off guard, and was touched by my hot fingers and let out a low muffled groan.

Just then, a whirl of footsteps came to the door, and Aunt Liu lifted the curtain.

In the darkness, I could only hear my low breathing and his suppressed breathing.

Aunt Liu seemed to be stunned for a moment, then put down the curtain with a shout, "Amitabha, Amitabha." She walked back quickly and seemed to have hurried to bed again.

Liu Saner and I kept snuggling each other in this way. Until this time, I suddenly felt that each other's body temperature had risen to a boil, but it was a little hot when it touched, especially his breathing seemed to be carried with sparks. When he was blowing over his head, it almost burned my head.

At this moment, neither of them could do anything and were a little out of control.

I don't know how long it took, but I trembled and looked up at him. I immediately saw the strange and bright eyes in the darkness, like obsidian, burning a cluster of small flames, looking at me flickeringly, as if I was about to ignite me.

My body suddenly trembled.

In the past, the two of them stayed on this bed for the middle of the night, and they didn't think too much about it when they were in black and white, but at this moment they seemed to be completely different.

He and I have been married for a long time.

Normally, adult men would not have the need. Besides, I have never completed the family or even had more intimate contact. A young and full-blooded man like him cannot feel anything. Sometimes, in the middle of the night, I would feel that he kept looking at me, and even breathing seemed to blow on my face, but in the end, I could only hear him gently going out to cool down in the stone shed.

This has been several months.

If you don’t think about it, maybe everything is still calm, but when you think about it, your heart feels like it is ignited by a little spark, and wildfire is burning like a prairie fire.

His breathing became heavier and heavier.

My face was burning too.

"Light..." He suddenly called me, his voice was very low, but with a little strange hoarseness, even his voice was trembling.

“…”

"I--"

He was only halfway through his words, and maybe he didn't say it at all. All my feelings were placed on his breathing, on his heartbeat, and the hand holding my waist was almost hot and ironed around his waist, slowly exerting force and slowly tightening.

I was almost trapped in his arms.

That masculine aura penetrated into every inch of my skin, almost melting my whole body.

But at this moment, his hand gently flicked and touched my raised belly.

Suddenly, he and I both froze.

The next moment, he suddenly lifted the mosquito net, got out of bed with a scream, and said hurriedly: "You - you have a good rest."

After saying that, he had already walked to the door and opened the wooden door with a clang. Suddenly, a cold wind poured in from outside the door, making the bed curtain float slowly. I sat on the bed stiffly, watching the cold moonlight outside the door shine on the familiar outline at the door. His broad shoulders could obviously carry a heavy burden, but at this moment he shook slightly. He stopped for a moment, but did not turn around, but walked out quickly.

After a while, I heard the sound of rustling water coming from the stone shed.

I sat quietly on the bed, listening to the sound of water from afar, the temperature of the surrounding air had suddenly dropped, and it was a little cool. I looked at the dark night outside the door, and for some reason, I felt a little empty in my heart.

.

After that night, Liu Saner and I saw each other again. Although we were not embarrassed, we felt indescribable.

He still worked carelessly and laughed happily. When he followed me to study literature, he was still serious. But sometimes, I could see something from his eyes, which was locked in his heart in the past, but once another small hole was pierced, it would breed uncontrollably.

But I-

I looked down at my stomach. The high bulge blocked my view and couldn't even see my feet.

Even if I forget everything in the past, I know what women should and should not do at this time. Besides, I can treat some things as a dream, but some injuries are still in my heart.

I looked at my stomach and could only sigh.

At this time, Aunt Liu asked, "Qingying, what's wrong? People are uncomfortable?"

I suddenly came to my senses and hurriedly said, "No."

"Have you been too busy and tired recently?" She said, pointing outside and cursing: "San'er is really, I've finished all the work in the field, and I've run out all day long and don't have to stay at home!"

I smiled and said, "Mom, he is now helping people with carpenter work. He often has to go to the town."

"Then you can't always go home. You are the only one in this family."

"It's okay, I'm idle."

After collecting the grain in the field, Liu San'er went to the carpenter's shop in the town to pick up the work. Such wages came faster. After all, it was winter and he had to re-built new clothes and quilts, which was enough for him to be busy for a while. Sometimes he couldn't go home for a day or two.

In the afternoon, I had nothing to do. There was a family in the next village asking me to help write an obituary. I buried my head in the yard. As I was writing, I heard a voice coming from outside and laughed, "Oh, my brother and sister are writing again."

When I looked up, it was Gou Er who was lying at the gate of the yard and smiling at me.

I don’t care about this person, but I am from the same village and I have to give Liu Saner perfunctory face, so I smiled faintly: “Brother Gou.”

"Are you alone at home?"

"My mother and my aunt are here."

"Oh, where is San'er?"

I frowned slightly, and suddenly remembered the incident when he pulled Liu Saner to the brothel before. I was a little unhappy and said lightly: "I'm going to work."

"Work? What kind of work, are you so busy?"

“The work of the carpenter’s shop in the town.”

"Oh, the carpenter shop in the town." Gou Er said with a smile: "Is it the carpenter shop that is very close to the Xiangyuan?"

When I heard this, my brows immediately frowned.

The Suanxiangyuan he mentioned was the newly opened brothel in the town.

In this rural town, everyone has to spend money, and there is no spare money to go shopping in brothels. However, since Yangzhou opened Enke, scholars from the three southern provinces have come here; scholars gathered together, and there are inevitably some romantic affairs. A boss from somewhere. After seeing the opportunity, he opened a brothel here.
