Reborn I will never be a dog lick

That night with brilliant fireworks last year.

He and An Xiaomi came here to make a wish.

Nothing seems to have changed here.

People come and go, of all ages.

Some come to make wishes, some come to check in, and some simply ask for blessings.

It's not the peak tourist season, and there are no fireworks to watch tonight. The decorative lanterns on both sides bring soft light.

The small shops on the roadside are also open, but they are not as lively as last time. Last time I came, it was more like a bustling commercial street.

But this time, it is more like a breath of life. In fact, this is the norm.

It was windy and cold at night, Liu Ningqing hugged his arm, and the two of them cuddled together to resist the cold night.

The ancient tree has gradually appeared in full view.

Winter has not yet passed, and there are no branches or leaves on the trees at this moment.

However, the densely hung bamboo slips with various tags are like countless leaves shaking and moving with the wind, as crisp and sweet as wind chimes.

"so beautiful."

Liu Ningqing stood under the tree and looked at the various blessing bamboo slips hanging on it. This scene was like something out of a cartoon.

"It will be even more beautiful in spring, and there will be fireworks to watch."

A glimmer of memory appeared in Xu Zhimu's eyes.

"Let's go get the bamboo slips."

Xu Zhimu took her and continued walking under the tree.

Last year, I got it from an old man's stall.

But it’s not the peak tourist season now, so I don’t know if they are still there.

Under the big trees, there are exquisite small shops in inconspicuous corners.

Under an old wooden house, there is a red lantern hanging, emitting a faint and soft light.

There was also a dim desk lamp on inside the house, emitting light from the window.

Xu Zhimu walked over with Liu Ningqing, and there were many blank bamboo slips hanging under the eaves of the wooden house.

There is also a small donation box next to it.

Sure enough, it's still there.

Xu Zhimu looked over and saw that the old man was in the house at the moment, listening to old songs on the radio, wearing reading glasses, and still making bamboo slips in his hand.

Xu Zhimu knocked lightly on the window.

"Hello."

The old man raised his head and glanced at the visitor with his cloudy eyes.

He pushed up his reading glasses and felt that the young man opposite looked familiar.

"I want this."

Xu Zhimu pointed to the bamboo slips hanging under the eaves.

The old man nodded and waved directly for him to get it himself.

He didn't mention money or donations, but continued to lower his head and start making bamboo slips.

"Zhimu..." Liu Ningqing looked at the old man's silence and thought it was because he was unwilling to sell, so he gently tugged at the corner of Xu Zhimu's clothes.

Xu Zhimu smiled and rubbed her head: "It's okay, this is their habit, we just need to donate some money."

"Ah?" Liu Ningqing blinked blankly.

Xu Zhimu dropped a banknote directly into the donation box, and then picked two bamboo slips hanging from the eaves.

Just when he was about to leave, Liu Ningqing gently tugged at the corner of his clothes.

"What's wrong?" Xu Zhimu asked her softly.

"I also want to...beg for one for my mother...there are so many things I want to say to her..."

Liu Ningqing pursed her lips and looked at Xu Zhimu.

Xu Zhimu listened silently to Liu Ningqing's mother, the mother-in-law whom he had no chance to meet.

This is the regret and vacancy in Liu Ningqing's heart that will never be undone.

"good."

Xu Zhimu nodded, then raised his head and looked at the bamboo slips on the eaves.

"Then pick one yourself."

"Uh-huh!"

Liu Ningqing raised her head, trying to pick the one she was most satisfied with.

But at this time, an old and hoarse voice came from the window: "Use this as a gift to your loved ones."

The pair of old hands full of wrinkles and calluses took out a bamboo slip as round as jade from the bottom of the drawer and handed it out from the window.

Xu Zhimu and Liu Ningqing were both stunned for a moment.

"Do you understand Chinese?"

Xu Zhimu learned some simple Japanese from Xiaomi's mother.

For example: "Oh, a little bit of Lu Naowa, haha, a bunch of silk, huh?"

Anyway, it's pretty lame, but this is a tourist area, and many neon people are here for business, so they will know one or two words after hearing it too much.

The old man looked at him and responded still in Japanese: "The pronunciation of some words is the same all over the world."

After saying that, the old man handed over the obviously distinctive bamboo slip in his hand.

Xu Zhimu immediately understood this pronunciation.

There are many languages ​​in the world, but the pronunciation of the word "mother" is surprisingly consistent in most countries.

Research says that this is the most primitive cry of babies: "Wow."

As soon as he cries, the mother will immediately comfort him. Over time, this will form a muscle memory for the child.

The pronunciation of "Wow" gradually became "Mama". There are some differences in many countries due to different accents.

But it's basically very similar.

Liu Ningqing just mentioned the word mother, and the nostalgia and sadness flowing in her eyes can always be sympathized with by everyone.

"Take it."

Xu Zhimu smiled slightly at Liu Ningqing.

"Thank you, thank you."

Liu Ningqing looked at the bamboo slip in her hand. It was extremely exquisitely made and had a red rope tied into a beautiful knot.

"how much is this?"

Liu Ningqing was the kind of person who never took advantage. Holding the bamboo slip in her hand, she couldn't help but ask.

"Need not."

The old man shook his head, lowered his head and continued making bamboo slips.

Liu Ningqing looked at Xu Zhimu and gently shook his arm.

Xu Zhimu smiled and touched her head, pointing to the donation box next to her.

Liu Ningqing immediately understood, quietly went over, took out a piece of money from her purse, and put it in.

This time, Xu Zhimu did not compete with her to pay.

Seeing the girl's expression finally calming down and looking at the bamboo slips, he smiled and picked up a small carving knife and handed it to her.

"Just engrave what you want to say, and I'll hang it up with you later."

"Uh-huh!"

Liu Ningqing was carving something like this for the first time, and she seemed a little excited. She was holding a carving knife, and her handwriting was usually very beautiful, but she didn't dare to use the knife this time.

It took half an hour for the two of them to finally finish carving.

Xu Zhimu had finished it long ago and kept looking at her from the side.

When Liu Ningqing is doing something seriously, she doesn't look as soft and weak as usual.

When she focuses on one thing, her gentle eyes become extraordinarily elegant, like an exquisite goddess sculpture.

Every detail, every inch of skin, is perfect and amazing.

Xu Zhimu glanced at the bamboo slip in her hand. Even if the content could not be clearly seen, the delicate handwriting was pleasing to the eye.

Finally finished carving.

Liu Ningqing was so nervous that a little sweat appeared on her forehead.

Xu Zhimu smiled and touched her forehead: "What is it written? Let me see it?"

"Written...I can't tell you now."

Liu Ningqing held the bamboo slip in her hand. Even though she was dumbfounded, she knew that only she could know such things as wishes.

"Okay, you just got engaged and you have a secret from me, right?" Xu Zhimu teased.

Liu Ningqing's pretty face turned red, and she protected the bamboo slips in her hands: "Then you, let me see yours too!"

"Ahem, it's getting late. Let's go hang the bamboo slips. If it's a little later, the gods will probably get off work."

Xu Zhimu immediately changed the topic and turned to leave.

Liu Ningqing was stunned for a second, then raised her fist and hit Xu Zhimu on the back.

"Bad guy!"

"Hahaha……"

Xu Zhimu smiled and stretched out his arm. Liu Ningqing was fuming, but she still hugged his arm without resistance.

Two people walked under the tree, although the leaves had fallen off in winter.

But this tree is surprisingly big, its branches are thicker than an adult's thigh, and its trunk is estimated to be as thick as six or seven people can hug it.

It is covered with various bamboo slips, which jingle when the wind blows, which is particularly pleasant to the ear.

It seems as if there is an invisible god, using the power of the wind, to read the pious wishes and blessings above.

The two people followed the stairs and came to a tree trunk.

From here, you can still see the bustling city at the foot of the mountain, which is brightly lit and brilliant without losing its smoky atmosphere.

The place where An Xiaomi and I tied the bamboo slips last time was quite difficult to find, so I had to carry it on my back.

Therefore, Xu Zhimu saw the place where the bamboo slips were hung at a glance.

There are several bamboo slips hanging on it.

Xu Zhimu came to the branch and looked up: "It's right here."

Liu Ningqing also looked up: "It's so high."

"It doesn't matter."

Xu Zhimu suddenly squatted down in front of Liu Ningqing: "Ride up, I will carry you."

"ah?"

Liu Ningqing looked around. Although there weren't many people in this place, she still felt a little shy.

"We are already an old married couple. What are you afraid of? Haven't you wanted to ride on me for a long time? I'll give you a chance this time."

Xu Zhimu smiled and made crazy hints to Liu Ningqing.

Liu Ningqing's pretty face turned red when she heard this. She clenched her fist and hit him: "I... never said..."

Xu Zhimu was stunned for a moment. Not to mention, Ye Luojia and An Xiaomi always wanted to be female knights and punish themselves severely.

But Liu Ningqing has always been shy to listen to Xu Zhimu's words.

"Ahem, wife, give me some face."

"snort……"

Fortunately, Liu Ningqing's mind was still pure and she didn't think wrongly. She walked over slowly.

Then he gently stepped up his slender legs. Just now he put one leg on Xu Zhimu's shoulder, and immediately his face turned rosy, as if he had been electrocuted.

"Hurry up."

"I, will it be heavy?"

Liu Ningqing asked hesitantly.

"My wife has a perfect figure. Even if she is heavy, she is as heavy as she should be. The bigger and heavier she is, the more I like her!"

Xu Zhimu laughed, and Liu Ningqing was slowly riding on Xu Zhimu's neck.

Listening to Xu Zhimu's voice, her cheeks seemed to be on fire: "Bad guy! What nonsense are you talking about."

"What I said is true."

Xu Zhimu happily felt Liu Ningqing's soft thighs, which carried a faint fragrance.

With her soft but elastic jade buttocks, Xu Zhimu felt as if her neck was wrapped by a top-notch massager.

Moreover, when I carried Xiaomi on my back last time, I could still see the girl's entire face when I raised my head.

But with Liu Ningqing behind his back, he looked up like this.

Well, I still hold my pipa and half-cover my face.

Xu Zhimu was a cultural man, and he sighed in his heart: I am not hungry anymore.

"What are you looking at..."

Liu Ningqing shyly stretched out her hand to cover his eyes.

"Wife, this is your natural advantage. You should be proud of it. How lovable you are."

Xu Zhimu laughed.

What Liu Ningqing heard was that she remembered something, and her tone suddenly became a bit resentful: "What about... Yaya?"

"..."

Bai Yaya, Xu Zhimu couldn't help but think about it in his mind.

If the girl riding on my neck now is Bai Yaya.

Then I guess I will be "blinded".

But Xu Zhimu suddenly felt his ears being pinched, and he immediately coughed honestly.

"Honey, have you seen what's hanging on it? Just find mine and Xiaomi's and take them off."

Faced with Xu Zhimu's skillful change of topic, Liu Ningqing just smiled softly in the end.

She raised her head and looked at the bamboo slips moving in the wind on the branches.

After being exposed to wind and sun for a whole year, it has some signs of age.

However, it also appears thicker and the writing on it is still clearly visible.

Most of the hanging signs on it were the prayer signs that were hung up when Xu Zhimu and An Xiaomi came last time.

Liu Ningqing found two bamboo slips with the names of An Xiaomi and Xu Zhimu written on them.

She didn't read the content on it. After taking it off, she wanted to hand it to Xu Zhimu.

"Honey, read it to me."

Xu Zhimu carried her on his back as if he was wearing a natural warm scarf.

Liu Ningqing was stunned for a moment. She looked at the two plaques in her hand and slowly said, "Xiaomi asked you to read this. Do you really...want me to read it?"

"I said, everything to me is everything to you. From now on... we will eventually live together, and you can see all my things."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Xu Zhimu said softly.

Liu Ningqing pursed her lips slightly. She was lost in thought for a long time, and then she slowly said, "Then, which one do you want to listen to first?"

"It belongs to Xiaomi. She asked you to come with me. Maybe the things written in it are also for you to listen to."

Liu Ningqing held the bamboo slip belonging to An Xiaomi, her beautiful eyes flashing slightly.

a year ago.

At that time, An Xiaomi was not in such a serious condition, but she left this bamboo slip early.

Yes, she has such a character.

Liu Ningqing looked at the opening above. Her gentle voice seemed to be able to drive away the cold wind at night, under the soft light of the lantern.

Liu Ningqing looked at the writing on it and spoke slowly.

"This is the third time I have come here to make a wish, but it is the first time with him, and it may also be the last time.

Because I don’t know whether I can survive the next year, whether I can watch the fireworks with you, eat cherry blossom cakes, and make another wish...

If I fail to come and take this bamboo slip in person, then the person who comes with you must be Sister Ningqing."

Sure enough, after just a few words, Liu Ningqing's name came across.

Her voice paused.

The handwriting is delicate and lively, and the words are like the person she is writing, as if there is a cute and playful girl in front of her.

But in every word and every sentence, there is a despair and unwillingness that ordinary people cannot understand.

Liu Ningqing looked at Xu Zhimu.

At this moment, Xu Zhimu's eyes were quietly looking at the bustling urban area at the foot of the mountain.

"Zhimu..."

"Keep reading."

Xu Zhimu gently grabbed her calf and spoke calmly.

Liu Ningqing withdrew her gaze and looked at the words on the bamboo slip again.

"I don't know what will happen in a year, but I know that you, a stubborn guy, once you decide on something, you will definitely do it.

In this life, it is destined that no one can take you away from Sister Ningqing.

However, I don’t plan to compete with Sister Ningqing, even if I do, I can’t compete with her. After all, if I were a boy, I would be so heartbroken that Sister Ningqing is such a good girl.

Sister Ningqing, if you really came here with this guy, then I must have reached the last step, or even... there is no way out.

I have already accepted the reality of many things.

But this guy alone has always worried me.

Once, I thought about slowly fading each other out of each other's world by gradually alienating each other.

However, I know that this may be the worst way.

It wasn't until you appeared that I could finally relax..."

Liu Ningqing's voice was soft and soft, and in each word, there was a feeling of unwillingness to give in, but only letting go.

The night sky seems to be drooping...
