Fantasy world

"how? Still watching?"

"They come, the security! Just wait!"

"Still waiting? It’s getting dark, and my stomach is growling with hunger!"

"Why are you so impatient? Good soup needs to be simmered slowly! How could the tree spirit be seen by you so easily?"

"How long do we have to wait? Wait until midnight?"

"It was worth waiting until midnight to see it!"

"What?"

"Okay! Don't be so surprised, even if there is a tree spirit, you will scare it away!"

"oh! We've been making trouble for a long time, but you still don't believe in the Gou tree spirit or the Willow tree spirit?"

"This kind of thing, as people often say, whether you believe it or not, there is nothing! There are no ghosts or gods in the world, it’s all humans!"

"exactly! I said you are still a cadre, how could you be so superstitious?"

"Hao Bin! As I just said, in fact, we country folk are not all stupider or stupider than others. Sometimes believing in superstition is also a sign of helplessness in our hearts, and it is a kind of psychological sustenance and comfort!"

"Secretary Zhang! you——"

"how? Are you still refusing to recognize me as your cousin?"

"No! no! I - just - I'm still a little not used to it!"

"Not used to it? You have accepted your uncle and aunt as your parents, and my cousin also deserves it."

"right! yes! yes! cousin——"

Zhang Xiaolian did not agree to me, but looked into the distance quietly with a deep and confused look on her face. She was silent for a long time before talking to herself again

"Hao Bin! Since you were transferred here, although we have had some acquaintances and contacts, we have rarely had the opportunity to be alone together like this. To be honest, my cousin sees that you are young and a decent person, so I hope that you will be You really treat your uncle and aunt here as your own home, you treat Xueer Xiaoqiang as your brother and sister, and you really treat me as your cousin and your relative."

"I - of course I mean it all sincerely. Ever since I arrived at my uncle's and aunt's house, my uncle and aunt have never treated me like an outsider. Can I not feel this? And you, cousin! Pick me up that day, I feel close to you as soon as I see you! It’s like seeing a loved one! I thought you were my sister at that time, but I didn’t expect—you are really my sister!"

"yes! When I went to pick you up that day, my sister saw that you were still so young and looked childish, like a little girl, and I suddenly felt so distressed! I hope I can give you more help in all aspects."

"I was originally assigned to replace my second sister, and I was younger than them all!"

"Hao Bin! Sister, I want to treat you better in every aspect and take more care of you. However, you also know that in this country, if you are not careful, you will be called a mess. Fortunately, I arranged for you to stay at my uncle's house. I can meet you casually"

"cousin! I see! Then from now on, just like Xueer Xiaoqiang, I will call you cousin everywhere!"

"Hey! Stop it! Do I owe you to call me cousin? Are you yelling in front of others because you are afraid that they will have nothing to organize? There are many things in the countryside, just leave it to yourself and understand it. Even if it is shown on the surface, it may not be true."

"Then - from now on, I will call you cousin in front of others, and I will call you sister when no one is around! I also treat you as my sister!"

"So - is this what you are saying?"

"I swear! As long as I don’t dislike it!"

Zhang Xiaolian suddenly stretched out her hand and touched my forehead affectionately:"You are an educated youth from the city, and my sister is just a country wine drinker. Do you still dislike you? You - you can't dislike my sister either! Including Cher——"

"hey-hey! That is! Sister - it’s a fairy descending to earth! Xueer, she is the ghost in the fairy tale! I am an educated youth, just an ordinary person. How can I despise you?"

"Look at you! As soon as I'm nice to you, you start to talk glibly. My sister wants to make love to you, are you okay with that?"

"sister! I am speaking from my heart!"

"Are you saying this too? Only ghosts believe it?"

At this time, on the falconry platform in the distance, for some unknown reason, a group of birds suddenly started to fly. Zhang Xiaolian and I lay down almost at the same time, holding our breaths and staring into the distance. But the startled birds quickly regained their composure. On the eagle platform in the distance, the moonlight is still hazy and the shadows of the trees are dim.

"look! Gou tree spirit! Out! They're all out!"Zhang Xiaolian suddenly shouted excitedly. I was already relaxed, but when she called me like this, I lay down nervously:"Where?""That!"Where is there?" Why did I not see it?"

Zhang Xiaolian suddenly pushed me hard:"Hi! You are such a disappointment! Didn’t I just say everything? If you believe it, you will have it; if you don’t believe it, you will not have it; if you have it in your heart, you will have it in your eyes, but if you don’t have it in your heart, you will have it!"

"It turns out that this is paper mulberry! oh! Yep! I saw it, right there! Lots and lots!"

"Saw? What are they like?"

"Small cherry mouth, slender willow waist, graceful sleeves, and dancing gauze!"

"You are so beautiful!"

"real! sister! It seems like you and Xueer are both inside, playing and dancing! What a nice view!"

"Me and Xueer? Who else?"

"There are many more, they all seem to be from Wanzi, they seem familiar, but none of them are familiar!"

"Ah! It seems you have a big heart! alright! Have you seen enough? When you’ve seen enough, go home!"

"not yet! Can’t get enough!"

"Then you continue! I go first!"

Zhang Xiaolian got up and walked back. Naturally, I didn't dare to miss a step. Although the subsequent journey was in the wilderness and the moonlight was hazy. But we talked and laughed along the way, and we didn't feel scared, let alone far away.

She was like this Along the way, he told me a lot about the rules, etiquette, customs, and customs of the countryside. He also talked about a lot of stereotypes and bad habits in the countryside. Zhang Xiaolian naturally hated the idea of ​​baby marriage, which is still popular at the moment. But she could only sigh in vain and had no choice.

When I went home to report, Michelle seemed to have known the result for a long time, and she seemed absent-minded and unconcerned with her detailed introduction and description of Zhang Xiaolian and me. Uncle Mi and Aunt Mi inquired carefully and listened carefully.

Aunt Mi made something simple and quick Let Zhang Xiaolian and I fill our stomachs quickly. Zhang Xiaolian had to rush home overnight. Uncle Mi and Aunt Mi asked Michelle and I to bring flashlights to escort us together. Along the way, Zhang Xiaolian also told Mi the truth about the process and facts of our visit to relatives. Xueer told the story again. While Michelle was listening, she danced around me and Zhang Xiaolian to celebrate. When it was my turn to spin around with her again, she seemed to be a different person. She was silent and speechless all the way. It felt like I was doing this. It was as if she had done something wrong and ruined her good deeds. I suddenly felt inexplicable anger and irritability.

Obviously, Uncle Mi and Aunt Mi gave me and Zhang Xiaolian the task of visiting relatives. This was a decision-making mistake. But it turned out that Now, they can only accept and approve our opinions and conclusions. In this way, Aunt Mi truthfully conveyed the reasons and conclusions that Zhang Xiaolian and I had discussed in advance to the matchmaker. It is pitiful that Michelle and I have such a good marriage. Zhang Xiaolian is in trouble! For this reason, I felt deeply guilty towards Michelle for a long time, and I had no face to face it!
