[Volume 1] How does a boy stay young? Chapter 59: People are like the bright moon
Zhou Qingmu turned his head, no longer daring to look back into the little girl's eyes, and pretended to be indifferent and began to move the two bones.
After Zhou Qingmu worked very quickly with his hands and feet, he finally buried the little girl's parents and brought a big stone to place in front of the grave.
At this moment, Zhou Qingmu sat down on the ground, holding his head, not daring to get up and face the little girl with innocent eyes.
Finally, after a long silence, Zhou Qingmu rushed out of the courtyard gate and walked alone in the city.
Walking through the increasingly familiar streets, Zhou Qingmu lowered his head and said to himself: "Master, Mr. Ye, what should I do?"
There is silence between heaven and earth.
Zhou Qingmu stopped, turned around, spread his legs and ran towards the house over there.
Zhou Qingmu returned to the house. The little girl from before was taking a small stone from nowhere and carving words on the big stone in front of her. Although it looked very difficult, she wrote every stroke beautifully.
There is no name on the "tombstone", only the words "Twilight of Mom and Dad".
Zhou Qingmu waited until the little girl finished writing, then forced out a smile and said gently: "Little guy, what's your name?"
The little girl in light yellow clothes suddenly turned her head, shook her head, wiped the tears that had been flowing in her eyes for some time, and said with a forced smile: "My parents didn't give me a name, they usually call me Yue."
Son."
"Then are you willing to live with your brother in the future? My brother promises that he will be very good to Yue'er in the future. But there is a prerequisite, that is, my brother will leave this place soon. So, you must follow me in the future.
Let's go together." Zhou Qingmu looked at the girl in front of him with serious eyes.
The little girl in front of her was silent for a while, but then she quickly raised her head, looked at Zhou Qingmu's face and said with a smile: "Okay! Yue'er won't cause trouble to my brother. I just hope... I just hope that my brother can
Allow me to come back when I want to come back to visit my parents. Also, if Yue'er wants to follow you all the time in the future, you promise me that you will never leave me in this life!"
The little girl said the last two sentences particularly seriously.
Zhou Qingmu smiled when he heard this, touched the head of the little girl in front of him, and nodded: "My name is Zhou Qingmu. From now on, it doesn't matter whether you call me by my name or brother. My brother also promised Yue'er that if Yue'er wants to come back in the future,
Now, just tell your brother that he will definitely come back with Yue'er. As long as Yue'er is willing to stay by your side for the rest of your life, your brother will never leave you."
The little girl raised her head and looked at Zhou Qingmu's clear and gentle eyes, just like when she was very young, she ran to the stream alone and looked at the crystal clear stream in front of her that could never finish flowing.
At this time, the little girl who suffered the tragic accident of her parents' death seemed to surge up like a stream again, crying: "Don't lie to me!"
Zhou Qingmu looked at the little girl in front of him, his eyes were a little red, but he quickly said as firmly as stone: "Brother will not lie to you!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yue'er quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and happily thanked the "benefactor" in front of her.
Zhou Qingmu looked at this scene with complicated eyes.
After a long time, Zhou Qingmu took Xiao Yue'er's hand, walked into the house, and said, "Yue'er, I'll ask you a few questions later, okay?"
The little girl in light yellow looked into his eyes again and finally nodded.
Zhou Qingmu stopped being silent and asked directly: "When did you and your parents come here?"
Xiao Yue'er pulled her pigtails, lowered her head and thought about it carefully, and then replied: "It was about a month or two months ago, it could be ten or eight days ago, I was arrested
My parents brought me here."
Zhou Qingmu just thought for a moment, and then asked again in less than a moment: "Did your parents say or do anything when you came?"
Hearing this, the little girl carefully recalled the behavior of her parents that day, but this time she quickly answered: "The day before I came here, my parents said they had bought a house in a far away place. From now on, our family will be together."
I wanted to move there and live a very happy life. So, I was very happy when I heard that. The next day, my parents took me out in a hurry, saying that I didn’t want to miss it. When I came, my parents took me out.
I also shaved my head and wore strange clothes. I don’t remember the rest. I didn’t know what happened that day and kept wanting to sleep, so I fell asleep in my mother’s arms. When I woke up, it was in this
In the house. But after I came here, my parents never allowed me to go out to play. Especially at night, my parents always closed the doors and windows tightly, and I was not allowed to take a step out. But I don’t know why, last night
My parents didn't even close the doors and windows, and hurried out. It was too dark at the time, and I didn't dare to go out alone, so I stayed in the house. When I woke up in the morning, I saw my parents lying on the bed, moving.
They didn't move either. I wanted to try to wake them up, but as soon as I patted their bodies, they... just became like that."
At this point, the little girl who looked very cute in light yellow clothes burst into tears again.
Zhou Qingmu's eyes were complicated, but he was not very good at comforting others. He had no choice but to step forward and pat the little girl's back, repeating in a low voice: "If you don't cry, don't cry. Yue'er won't cry."
After that, Zhou Qingmu stopped asking questions. While he confirmed some things, he also confirmed something more important. From then on, Zhou Qingmu made a determination in his heart. No matter what, he would do well.
Take care of this child. Even if Xiao Yue'er wants to seek revenge from herself one day after learning some truths, she will never leave any guilt in her heart.
During this day, Zhou Qingmu found some ingredients in Xiao Yue'er's kitchen and used his pretty good skills to cook two meals for Xiao Yue'er. Maybe it was because the little guy didn't eat all day.
During lunch, she finished a whole bowl of rice in one go and praised Zhou Qingmu for making it delicious. In fact, Zhou Qingmu knew that his cooking skills were just like that. The little girl was just afraid that he would find her troublesome, so she did this on purpose.
In his free time, Zhou Qingmu practiced swordplay in the open space inside the courtyard gate, and Xiao Yue'er sat in front of his parents' tombstones in a daze. Zhou Qingmu felt very uncomfortable every time he saw this scene, but he could only remain silent.
As the sun set, Zhou Qingmu stood in the courtyard gate and looked at the sun that was about to set. He felt sad and silent for a while. Beside him, there was a little girl in light yellow sitting beside him, who also looked up at the sunset like this.
When a bright moon hung high in the sky, Zhou Qingmu suddenly said for no reason: "From now on, your name will be Zhou Nianyue, with the courtesy name Chanjuan."
The little girl beside her nodded and whispered the three words "Zhou Chanjuan" in a low voice.
Chanjuan, some scholars regard it as the bright moonlight in the sky.
I hope that people are like the moon in the sky, reunited every three or five years, and like this every year.
In fact, Zhou Qingmu hoped that the people around him, whether young or old, would only think of the breeze and the bright moon, instead of the desolation of the world.
