"Xiaoling..." Lu Wei shouted softly.

"Does it still hurt?" Xiaoling's soft palm slowly stroked Lu Wei's cheeks and said with heartache.

"It's not hurt anymore, Xiaoling, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide it from you, I'm just afraid that you will worry." Lu Wei looked at Xiaoling's eyes and explained seriously.

"Stop talking, I know, apprentice, sometimes I feel that I am useless and can't help you. I can only watch you work alone from afar..." Xiaoling said, his voice a little dim.

"Let's go, I'll take you to a place." Lu Wei held Xiaoling's soft and somewhat cold little hand in his warm palm, and pulled her slowly along the path out of the village.

The night sky is full of stars, and in early spring nights, there is a hint of coolness in the air, mixed with the smell of willow branches that have just sprouted by the road, making people feel refreshed.

The two of them walked silently, feeling the intoxicating and quiet night. This simple atmosphere made people forget the complexity and impetuousness of the city.

On the dam beside the river on the east end of the village, the moonlight like water sprinkles on the small path covered with soft sand on the dam top, like a bright forging belt. The poplar forest beside the river beside the dam is blown by the evening breeze, making rustling sounds, like a symphony of nature, making the night even more quiet.

"When I was young, I came here to play every day. When the river was small, the water was clear. Every summer, we jumped into the river to catch fish. There were crucian carp, and wheat ears. We were lucky enough to touch red-scale carp. Just in the barley beside the river, you blocked it with your hands, and sometimes you felt the smooth fish jumping in the palm of your hand, and then grabbed it hard, pulling up a large handful of water plants, throwing it far to the shore, and the fish began to jump around on the ground, and then jumped happily to grab it. Put it on with a straw rope, and put it into a large string, and carry it around." Lu Wei began to slow down, gently embraced Xiaoling's waist, and slowly spoke as he walked, with a smile of memories on his face.

"I often climbed the two small earth mountains there when I was young. The one in the south was called Nanchu Mountain and the one in the north was called Beichu Mountain. Because there were a lot of locust trees on the mountain. But I still like Nanchu Mountain a little more. When I was young, a group of people went to the mountain to dig wild vegetables. They often ran to the top of the mountain as they dug, and then a few people started to throw stones down the mountain to see who was throwing far away. I could throw them all the way to the well at the foot of the mountain. After the corn at the foot of the mountain was almost ripe, we often stole green corn, and then went to the river to pick up some dry firewood to eat. Sometimes they just burned the fish and frogs in the river, but I never dared to eat it." Lu Wei said, with a smile of memories on his lips.

Walking down the top of the dam, Lu Wei led Xiaoling to a dam that was raised with stones and cement and reached down obliquely into the river.

"We all call this thing Ba Niuzi, but I don't know what it is used for. Every summer, when there is a lot of water in the river, it can accumulate deep water here, which is very clear. The bottom of the water is soft and sand. We often come here to take a bath. Sometimes we go to the peach trees opposite to steal a few green peaches to eat. After taking a shower, we lie on it and bask in the sun." Lu Wei said, pointing to his feet and said, "Look at this place, I don't know who carved the chessboard. We often put on the chessboard here. I am a famous master." Lu Wei squatted down and stroked the chessboard on the cement and said.

"I can't beat me yet," Xiaoling said with a smile.

"I'm giving in to you." Lu Wei stood up and smiled.

"Blow you, um..." Xiaoling smiled and said halfway, but was suddenly brought into Lu Wei's arms. His soft lips were gently held between his lips by Lu Wei.

The dim lights in the village not far away were staring at the men and women who were immersed in happiness like warm eyes.

"Xiaoling?" Lu Wei wrapped his arms around Xiaoling's waist, looked at the pure and beautiful face, and shouted affectionately.

"Well, didn't you say you wanted to call me master? Why did you call me my name again?" Xiaoling raised his face and looked at Lu Wei with a smile.

"I like it." Lu Wei whispered a warm smile on his lips and said softly.

"Xiaoling, you owe me in your previous life, and you won't even think of running away in this life. I will never walk into the second woman in my heart, just like these memories, there will never be a second time." Lu Wei said, hugging Xiaoling tightly in his arms, and gently said between his temples with a faint fragrance: "Don't think about it all, you are the most precious thing in my heart, you will always be."

Xiaoling surrounded Lu Wei with both hands, pressed her face against the firm and familiar chest, and said in a daze: "Advisor, I'm so scared, you are so kind to me, but I'm too ordinary, too ordinary, I dare not..." Xiaoling sobbed gently, and tears rolled down her cheeks.

Gently patting Xiaoling's back, Lu Wei felt Xiaoling's grievance and felt heartbroken.

"Stop crying, Xiaoling, you are my master. If you continue to cry like this, your glorious image in my heart will be gone." Lu Wei tried to make a joke, but the man in his arms cried louder, as if he wanted to vent all the grievances and depressions in his heart.

Quietly embracing the lovely man in his arms, Lu Wei's heart was filled with sour happiness. Once upon a time, in the memory like smoke and dust, such a scene only appeared in dreams. Now, the person in his arms is so real, feeling Xiaoling's body temperature and the tears soaked in his shirt. The softest part of Lu Wei's heart seemed to have been touched heavily, and every cell in his body trembled gently.

"Okay, Xiaoling, remember what I said today, don't doubt it, do you know?" Lu Wei said with heartache, holding Xiaoling's face with tears.

"Yeah." Xiaoling nodded obediently, and his pitiful expression as if he was walking with the rain caused Lu Wei to have a gentle wet kiss.

"Oh, let's go back, mom is waiting for us to eat dumplings." Lu Wei said with a smile.

"Yeah." Xiaoling still kindly. She was usually lively and cheerful, but she talked less today.

Lu Wei knew that her heart had not yet come out of the emotions she had just now. He told various jokes from time to time along the way to relieve her boredom. Finally, when he approached the entrance of the village, Yiren showed a lively smile again.

"Haha, Xiaoling, I finally saw your normal smile again. I didn't expect you to have such a ladylike side." Lu Wei quipped.

"Bah, I'm not serious after saying a few words. That is to say, I was not a lady before, you are a mess." Xiaoling said, and gently hit Lu Wei with a pink fist.

"It feels so comfortable. Master, you haven't hit me like this for a long time." Lu Wei said with an enjoyable look on his face.

"Is it very comfortable to be beaten? Then I will hit you twice more?" Xiaoling said with a smile.

"Forget it, I don't have that hobby, haha." Lu Wei said, and ran away briskly.

"Stir, don't run away!"

The two of them chased and fought. When they were about to get home, Lu Wei's cell phone rang. When he looked at the number, he rang and said to Xiaoling: "Look, are our mother anxious? Let's go quickly, the dumplings made by our mother are delicious."

Listening to Lu Wei's words "Our Mom", Xiaoling's face turned slightly red, but she did not refute Lu Wei's words, and the expression on her face was a little happy.

The two walked into the yard, and Lu Wei shook his phone to his father's ringing.

"You little brat, where are you going to play? You don't work. Just wait for the ready-made food." Lu Wei's mother said with a reproach, but there was a smile on her face.

"Haha, nothing, there's something going on. I'll take a walk around. Mom, I'll help you with dumplings." Lu Wei said attentively.

"I've been ready for a long time. Come on, I'll wait for you two." Lu Wei's mother said as she walked towards the east room.

"It's all you, you have to take them out. Everyone is working, and we are just idle. How embarrassed is it." Xiaoling said unhappily.

"Haha, don't listen to my mom, she's having fun." Lu Wei said as he pulled Xiaoling into the house. On the wide round table, the steaming pork dumplings exuded an attractive fragrance.

"Come on, come on, you all sit casually. You came back late and didn't cook any dishes." Lu Wei's mother greeted warmly.

"Boss, stop playing, dinner is on." Lu Wei smiled at Yu Wenqi, who was playing the Red Alert vigorously in front of the computer.

"That's good." Yu Wenqi said, with a circle of mouse, a group of tanks instantly pushed the other party's only hometown. It turned out that this guy had already beaten the computer to death and could not die anymore, so he left a hometown for him, and he was trying hard to play with the tank car. "Come on, try it, the dumplings made by my mother are so delicious." Lu Wei took a bowl and handed them to Xiaoling.

"Well, I'll do it myself." Xiaoling smiled and took the bowl, picked up one, and took a light bite.

"Wow, the fourth brother, you can't be so partial, just give me the senior sister alone." Jia Ming said jokingly.

"Doesn't you know how to take care of a lady? You won't be able to take care of yourself." Lu Wei said naturally.

"Don't be polite. It's like getting home here. Eat more." Lu Wei's mother greeted warmly.

A large group of people gathered in a circle and had a lot of fun eating.

After dinner, Lu Wei's father took out poker and mahjong again. Everyone played until after ten o'clock in the evening before they went back to bed. Xiaoling lived with his mother and Xiaomei, while Lu Wei's father squeezed into the west room with three or four young men, while Lu Wei's grandfather moved to his aunt's house not far from Lu Wei's house to sleep.

"Even if my mother objected, she would have to go over the house in a while." Lu Wei lay on the burning kang and thought.
