Peach Blossom Land On Longyin Island Chapter 37
byIt was an accident
Anle Zheng was stunned, stopped, and looked at Anshun in disbelief: “No? Didn’t Anle go home later?”
Anshun’s throat rolled up and down several times before he spoke: “I’m back. After living at my place for less than half a month, my grandfather came to see me one day. Because it was my father’s death anniversary in a few days, he asked me to visit his grave. I had a big quarrel with him. I shouted at him without hesitation, ‘That’s it.’He is not my father, and he doesn’t have me as a son in his heart.’ After that, my grandfather slapped me, and then…” Anshun paused for a long time before saying, “I was so angry that I said, ‘I want to leave here, leave Longyin Village, and leave Longyin Island, and I will never come back.’”
Anshun stopped talking again and took a deep breath.Anle knew that he hadn’t finished speaking yet, so she looked at him quietly.After a moment, Anshun took a deep breath again and whispered: “I didn’t expect that he was listening outside the door at that time. He went home that day… The next day, villagers who got up early to fish found him in the sea.”
Her throat was so tight that she could hardly make a sound. Anle swallowed several times before she made a sound and said, “He… could it be that he committed suicide?”
Anshun lowered his head, stared at the dead leaves at his feet, and said, “No, he will not commit suicide.”
“Then he is?”
After a long time, Anshun said in a low voice: “He is afraid of taking a boat. He always says that the sea is scary and will swallow him up. So he always stays far away from the sea and never takes a boat.”
Anle didn’t understand, and looked at Anshun questioningly.
After a long time, Anshun said with obvious trembling in his voice: “Su Su said that my brother told her the night before that he would leave here with me, but he would have to take a boat to leave here. Therefore, he can no longer be afraid of taking a boat. He must learn to take a boat.”
“He’s really stupid,” Anshun said as if he wanted to laugh at An Le’s stupidity, but his face showed a look of someone about to cry.”Everyone in Longyin Village can swim and row, but he didn’t know how to find someone to teach him, so he secretly learned to ride a boat on his own.”
“I killed him.”
The autumn wind whistled by, and the few remaining leaves on the trees fell with the wind. The bare branches could not withstand the chill of late autumn.
In the cold silence, Anle said: “I’m not lying to you. My hometown has televisions, computers, and advanced medical skills that can treat many diseases that you think are difficult to cure. There are amusement parks, and everyone, whether adults or children, likes amusement parks. My hometownThere are a lot of interesting things. My home is far away from the sea.We don’t need to take a boat when we go out. We can fly in the sky.I have a good friend who will never hate me no matter what I become.”
“He’s going to have a great time there.”
“This was an accident and no one is responsible for the accident.”
“Hey~ Look, let me tell you, Shunzi will definitely not kill Anle. He didn’t come back unscathed.” At the intersection of the path leading to Anle’s house, An Linmian crossed his arms and said to Anmai with an expression as if he had known it would happen.
“The food is almost ready, get ready to eat.” An Mai said with a smile as the two approached.
The smell of goose stewed in an iron pot floated from the yard. An Susu held a branch in the yard to drive away the goose that was chasing An Xiaojin with open wings, shouting “Don’t be afraid Jinjin, my sister will protect you!”.
An Linmian put his arm around An Le’s shoulders and whispered in a rare, consultative tone: “Hey, don’t tell An Xiaoyu what happened just now, right? If you don’t tell me, we won’t tell you either, how about that?”
An Linmian pointed out that Anshun’s arrow shot at him, and Anle nodded helplessly.Why did An Linmian need to remind him? On this point, he and An Linmian had the same idea.
These two people must never fight again!
But An Xiaoyu was easy to talk about, but the problem was Anshun. Anle looked at Anshun, who had regained his indifferent expression, and thought to himself, you should deal with him first.
Anmai looked at Anshun with a smile and said in a gentle tone: “Don’t do anything again in the future.”
Anle just discovered today that the one standing at the top of the food chain among them is the kind-hearted and gentle Anmai!
Because after Anmai finished speaking, Anshun still looked unhappy, but he pursed his lips tightly and did not dare to say a word, and even nodded weakly.
Anmai patted Anshun on the shoulder with satisfaction: “Let’s go and eat. Xiaoyu’s cooking skills are very good.”
In the evening, Anle omitted part of the content and told An Xiaoyu what happened during the day.After speaking, the two of them were silent for a long time.Even though a day had passed, Anle still felt an unbearable soreness in her chest when she thought of the misunderstanding between “Anle” and An’s mother again.
The night wind carried some dew, and Anle shivered.
The weather is getting colder and it is no longer suitable to spend time outside.
“It’s cold, come inside.” An Xiaoyu stretched out his hand to wrap Anle’s new blanket made of sheep fur, and said softly.
The bedding in the room had been replaced by thicker quilts after several successive autumn rains. Anle hid in the quilt, but still felt cold.It is indeed too cold in winter without air conditioning and heating. The animal skins from the hunt were given to An’s mother early in the morning, and the fur blankets were just made a few days ago.Anle specially told An’s mother that he didn’t need too much, one piece was enough, and asked An’s mother to make one for herself and her father first.An Xiaoyu hunted a lot of prey in the past few days, and then went there again. An Le thought that he should be able to get one for each person, but when he saw it, it was all An Le and An Xiaoyu’s.Anle had no choice but to accept it first and find Aunt Anhui to change into the figure of An’s father and mother.
Anle calculated the time and estimated that the change should be made in the next two days.
“Let’s go see Aunt Anhui tomorrow. My parents’ fur coats should be ready soon.” Anle murmured.
“Okay,” An Xiaoyu continued, “Let’s go together tomorrow.”
After that, the room fell into silence for a while.Then, Anle said, “With snake gallbladder, Aunt Ning Ning’s illness will be cured soon?”
“Yes.” An Xiaoyu said, “Mother is a skilled doctor and can cure Aunt Ningning.”
“Yeah.” Anle responded in his throat, and after a moment, he murmured to himself: “That’s good.”
There was another moment of silence, and An Xiaojin’s light snores came from the corner of the bed very regularly.After the weather got cold, Anle allowed An Xiaojin to sleep in the bedroom again, but he was not allowed to go to bed and made a nest for him in the corner of the bed.After being shut out and sleeping alone for a few days, An Xiaojin became obedient and no longer jumped into bed without permission.
“Xiao Jin…” An Lehua just said two words, and suddenly stopped. He couldn’t remember what to say.He just couldn’t stand the silence and wanted to make some noise.
“An Le.” At this time, An Xiaoyu moved, held An Le’s wrist at his side, and said softly: “In the eyes of my parents, you are An Le, the brother who loves Su Su, and their son who came back from the dead.”
But I’m not.Anle wanted to say.
But Dad knows that Anle doesn’t like fish.I am the one who loves to eat fish.
But the clothes my mother was washing today were Anle’s childhood clothes, which no one had worn for a long time.
But Niang has been blaming herself for that day.
But my mother thought that Anle hated her as a mother.
But Niang didn’t hear Anle’s deep love for her until the end.
But my name is not Anle.
But it’s too late for me to play “An Le” now.
Anle wanted to say this, but in the end he just sighed softly.
“How is your injury? Does it hurt?” Anle touched the bandage on An Xiaoyu’s arm along his wrist and changed the topic.
“It’s okay, it’s just a skin injury. Anshun is restraining his strength and doesn’t really want to kill me. I think he thinks I stole his friend and is angry. But his skills are surprisingly good.” An Xiaoyu said, and praised him sincerely.
When it came to Anshun, Anle couldn’t help but sigh.
“What’s wrong?” An Xiaoyu asked.
“Anshun…” Anle said hesitantly, “Bai Ri also told me something. He wants us to take him out of the island.”
An Xiaoyu was surprised: “Does he really want to leave? Isn’t it just a moment of anger?”
Anle sighed melancholy again: “I told him that Anle became me in my world, and he wanted to… go out and find Anle.”
“But didn’t you…travel…from the future? How could he find happiness in your world?” An Xiaoyu was even more surprised and stuttered a bit.
An Le became even more worried: “I didn’t tell him that I came from time travel. I said that I didn’t know what happened. I woke up here after I died. My hometown is far away and it is impossible to find it. But he still insisted on going out to find An Le. An Xiaoyu,” An Le turned over and faced An Xiaoyu and asked, “Should I not tell him that An Le is still alive? In fact, I am not sure whether An Le is still alive. He looked too sad at that time. I just wanted to comfort him.”
For comfort, or for some reason he couldn’t explain, he hid part of the information.But because of the consequences of his intentional concealment, he began to feel afraid.
“Anle.” An Xiaoyu said softly, “But actually we don’t know what it’s like outside. Is it the same world you were in before?”
Anle was silent, and after a moment, he said, “So you support him going out to find Anle? What if Anle is no longer in this world, what if he never lets go of this obsession in his life?”
An Xiaoyu said: “I only know that if he doesn’t look for the answer, he will be trapped by this matter his whole life. For him, staying here and doing nothing is a kind of torture.”
Is this really the case?Anle still doesn’t understand.How long will it take to search?How long will it take for Anshun to find the answer that is destined to disappoint him?
Is it really right to spend a long life looking for someone who doesn’t exist in this world?
So cold.
But it’s not cold on the body, but like a cold that comes from the bones and penetrates into the bone marrow.
After a long time, Anle realized that the coldness was generated from his passionately beating heart, and was transported to every vein in his body along with the blood.
“An Xiaoyu.” An Le called out softly, lifted one side of the quilt, moved his body, and got into An Xiaoyu’s quilt.Perhaps a person who practices martial arts has a lot of fire, and An Xiaoyu’s quilt was indeed warm. This heat not only warmed his body temperature, but could even penetrate into his body, dispelling the coldness in his bones and heart.
Anle couldn’t help but move closer to An Xiaoyu again.
“Is it cold?” An Xiaoyu turned sideways, brushed his arm across Anle’s body, and carefully tucked the gap in the quilt where Anle had slipped in.
“Better.” Anle said.
“It’s getting cold, you can sleep with me.” After An Xiaoyu finished speaking, he added in a low voice: “It’s warm for two of us.”
An Le suddenly laughed briefly: “Are you afraid of the cold?”
“Afraid.” An Xiaoyu whispered.
Anle smiled again and moved towards An Xiaoyu until his arms were close to An Xiaoyu’s body.
“I’m afraid too.” Anle said.
As soon as he finished speaking, An Xiaoyu seemed to hear a faint smile, and An Xiaoyu hugged An Le sideways.
“An Xiaoyu~” An Le called out frivolously, “You have crossed the line again.”
“That doesn’t count.” An Xiaoyu said confidently, and then said in a matter-of-fact tone as if he was just saying “You should eat when you are hungry”: “It’s better to hold her to keep warm.”
An Le smiled and refused to argue with him, letting An Xiaoyu hug him.
He needed warmth so much.
The winter in Longyin Village is too cold.
“Winter is coming.” Anle said.
“Well, winter is coming.” An Xiaoyu said.
“Let’s have hot pot when it snows.” An Le said.
“Okay.” An Xiaoyu said.
“Do you know how to make hot pot?”
“I don’t know.”
Anle smiled: “I’ll teach you.”
“Okay.” An Xiaoyu said, “I’ll cook it for you.”
“Yeah.”
“When will you tell me your name?” An Xiaoyu asked softly after a long silence.
“It’s winter, and Grandpa An is free.” After a moment, Anle replied, “It’s time for me to go to Grandpa An and learn how to make clay sculptures.”
