Chapter 21 Restless Heart
"It's better." The daughter-in-law looked at her mother-in-law and said with a smile, "I want to eat."
"I've been sick for two or three days and can't drink the soup." The old woman said to several people: "You are all lucky stars. As soon as you come here, my little granddaughter wakes up."
"The child is sick. I didn't know that." Wu Xinmin said apologetically: "We have been arguing like this for a long time."
"It doesn't matter." The old woman said, "It's just a little girl. I didn't take her seriously even when she was sick."
Only then did the child see that there were so many unfamiliar people in her house. She retracted her outstretched hand and inserted it into her mother's arms. The daughter-in-law smiled at her mother-in-law again. The old woman said: "I Show off your face with the elder brothers. My little granddaughter wants to eat your food."
"That's easy to say." Cao Guoshi quickly opened the lid of the pot, grabbed a rice bowl from the corner of the pot, and brought it over full.
The grandma fed the child. The child ate really deliciously. He blinked his little eyes and smiled at people.
"It's not easy to eat such good rice here." The daughter-in-law said to them shyly. She climbed down from the kang and fried a large plate of pickled vegetables in return.
"What disease does the child have?" Wu Xinmin asked.
"Fever." said the wife.
"Let's see. We still have some aspirin. Take it and see if it works." Gao Peng said and walked out. He stayed for a while and then came back with two pills in his hand.
……………….
On the mountain road, two men were walking forward, carrying two large baskets on their backs. They were full, but they could not stop their swift steps.
"You little crook, but your soul has been possessed by that beauty." The middle-aged man joked: "I told you not to look too much, but you don't believe it. It's stuck in your heart and you won't be able to get out."
"Hehe." The young man laughed awkwardly. "Third uncle, there are so many beautiful women and all kinds of sexy things. My eyes are a bit dazzled."
"You, don't just think about the beautiful mother-in-law. Life is not easy for people outside the mountains. They are frightened. Nothing can compare with the peace and tranquility of our mountains." The middle-aged man taught him earnestly: "It doesn't matter where you are from. It doesn’t matter if you are the Republic of China government or the Japanese. We don’t pay taxes or food. It’s safest to hide in the mountains.”
The young man nodded, but he didn't agree in his heart. The colorful world outside is so wonderful. Nestling in a ravine, doing those things all his life, seeing those faces, it would be boring to death.
"I don't want to take you out. It's just that your leg was arched by a wild boar. It makes trouble from time to time. I have to find a replacement." The middle-aged man sighed and said: "You are still young. Things outside... ugh .If you don’t suffer a loss, you won’t have a long memory. Thinking back to those days, I had the same idea as you.”
The third uncle talked nonchalantly, just like an old monk coming back from the mountain after giving a lesson. The young monk with a worldly heart listened silently, grinning from time to time. The heart of a young man, do you want to open a small door? But he insisted on opening the door. In the eyes of mortals, the world of mortals has too many temptations for young people like Xiao Waizi who are new to prosperity. Those who can see through it need to experience spiritual shock and impact again and again. Only by experiencing a series of sad and joyous partings can we cut off three thousand worries. Stay away from the worries and joys of the world. Abandon everything you have and what you want to have, and live a plain or even boring life with peace of mind.
……………………
The third uncle and Xiao Waizi returned to their home in the mountains. Only then did they find a strange troop. They spoke with strange accents. Some of them wore shabby red and blue armbands on their arms. They were quite friendly to the villagers.
After getting the news about Dushui Town, Wu Xinmin and others were very excited. The Second Route Army was not defeated by the Japanese. Instead, they regained the lost ground. They listened to the little crooked man's introduction. It is still very popular now. So this trip doesn't count. Come for nothing. The floating duckweed finally has roots.
The third uncle's old leg disease relapsed. The little crook volunteered to be the guide. The troops set off. Before leaving, they left some food, salt and daily necessities. These simple villagers were very grateful. They sent them outside the village and waved goodbye.
"Waiting for the Japanese to be beaten away. I really want to spend the rest of my life in this paradise." The team walked far away. Wu Xinmin looked back and said with emotion.
"The mountains and rivers are beautiful and we have nothing to do with the world. Compared with them, we are just ordinary people." Cao Guoshi laughed at himself.
"Hey, kid. What are you hiding?" Gao Peng looked at the little crooked boy strangely as he took out a small bundle from a tree hole and carried it on his back.
"Hey, it's nothing." The little crook grinned and ran forward to lead the way. This is a little calf who knows nothing about depth. He wants to use his horns to enter the world. His heart is full of happiness and novelty. With a hint of excitement and fear.
The troops rested temporarily. On the steep mountain road that had been climbing up, some of the soldiers were facing down the mountain and sitting on the gravel road; some were facing the valleys on the left and right, leaning on the rocks beside the road; some were leaning on the rocks with their backs. Carrying their backs, some four or five people gathered together. People lit fires and smoked. Smoke was precious, but there was no shortage of flint. Every piece of gravel on the road could produce sparks when picked up. The soldiers laughed and sang as they climbed over the mountain. Mountain. You can meet up with another anti-Japanese armed force and have a foothold. Everyone's heart is full of happiness. These sparsely populated valleys are suddenly filled with the sound of people.
A cloud of black smoke rose straight up from a distance and spread at a high place, like a big mushroom. Then, black smoke also rose in the distance, streaks until it was blurry and beyond the reach of the eyes.
"This is..." Wu Xinmin suddenly stood up and pointed into the distance. "Smoke alarm."
"That's right." Gao Peng squinted his eyes. "We were discovered. I didn't expect them to be so vigilant."
"The brigade should not move forward for the time being. I will take two people to contact them first to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings." Cao Guoshi thought for a moment and made a suggestion.
………………………
This is when the sun is at its hottest. Next to the small river outside the town, except for the two people in the woods, the rest of the place is quiet. Indistinct human voices can be heard in the distance, making the place seem more and more quiet.
Yu Biao and Li Ruping sat on two rocks. The position of the two rocks was very good. When they sat down, they could lean against the tree behind them. The distance between them allowed the two of them to hold hands easily without being so close. Occasionally it was windy. When it blows over, the leaves of the trees will rustle for a while, making people feel light and happy.
Yu Biao put his arms on his knees and let Li Ruping's hands lie softly in his palms. This posture was very relaxing. The girl naturally thought that her hands should be there. He seemed to be peeking at the bride's face under the hijab. She was as full of happiness as her little son-in-law. He helped her pick a grass stem from her hair affectionately. Li Ruping subconsciously hid for a moment. Yu Biao stretched out his hand for her to look at. He put it to his mouth with a smile and blew it away. He I like my behavior very much. It has a very free and easy temperament.
Although the two of them had held hands many times. One time, Yu Biao even took advantage of her and quickly kissed her on the cheek. But Li Ruping's expression was still a little unnatural. She pursed her lips or frowned from time to time. Li Ruping's The slender waist was right on her side. The exaggerated waist and hip curves were so lifelike. At this time, broken water light penetrated into the woods and cast its shadow on Li Ruping's cheeks, making her as beautiful and pure as a painting.
Yu Biao put his other hand on Li Ruping's small hand. Although it was a little hot, the feeling of sweating was very wonderful, making the girl's already delicate skin even softer.
"I asked you to put your military uniform on that wild girl. Don't be angry." Yu Biao looked at Li Ruping's face and said softly.
"Why are you angry? She looks much better dressed than me." Li Ruping was a little embarrassed by Yu Biao's hot gaze. She gently didn't turn her head.
"I just want to send her away quickly and wait until I find someone to make two sets for you. I like to see you in military uniform." Yu Biao said with a grin.
"Why are you bothering her so much? By the way, I heard that you had fought with her before." Li Ruping asked curiously.
"It's too barbaric. I taught her a lesson. I didn't expect her to be so vindictive." Yu Biao frowned.
"I also hold grudges." Li Ruping said seriously, blinking her big eyes.
"I didn't dare to offend you. I just kissed you and you stared at me for several days." Yu Biao said with a bitter smile.
"How dare you say that I'm not ready yet?" Li Ruping said angrily.
The stone was not comfortable to sit on for a long time. The small tree behind it was also too thin. Li Ruping soon felt a little tired. She twisted her waist and almost slipped to the ground. Yu Biao did not waste this opportunity. He gently supported her with his right hand. Li Ruping was in a stalemate for a few seconds. This posture was more tiring than sitting, so she had to lean closer. Yu Biao moved closer thoughtfully. The stalemate continued for another moment. Li Ruping finally leaned her thin shoulder on his. Yu Biao also I took advantage of the situation and hugged Li Ruping's slender waist. Everything was so natural. There was no trace of artificiality.
God will always give opportunities to those who love each other. It’s just that some people fail to seize them. Some people seize them wrongly.
"Sister Zheng left the beauty at the county government." Li Ruping said in a low voice.
"You really care about this. I forgot about it." Yu Biao tilted his head and nudged Li Ruping. "What can she do if she stays there?"
"Cooking first. Sister Zheng took the time to teach her how to read and reason with her. She is very attentive."
"Oh. Just be careful." Yu Biao responded casually. He tightened his arms and pinched the soft flesh on the girl's waist with his hands.
"Hey, bad guy." Li Ruping pinched him.
The strength is not strong. Yu Biao's skin is rough and fleshy. He has no feeling. Continue. Continue to penetrate. First, he is not afraid of pain. Second, he is not afraid of pain. It is not occupied...
"Commander. Commander." A ghost-like voice came out. Li Ruping's face turned red. She took the opportunity to break away and angrily hit Yu Biao twice.
A guard walked over as quietly as a thief. He looked around and shouted in a low voice.
"I'm here." Yu Biao shouted angrily. These brats are so sneaky that others may misunderstand that something is wrong even if they are fine.
"Commander." The guard trotted over and reported: "There is something going on at the headquarters. Please go back immediately."
Yu Biao nodded helplessly and looked at Li Ruping. He smiled and got two eye rolls. He didn't know whether he was angry at his actions just now or because he was interrupted by the guard.
