He was not normal, and he was not normal from the moment he heard these words about Wei Jingshu.
Wei Shiqi knew it himself, but he didn't know why.
Why? Why? Why? Why?
Wei Shiqi stood there, thinking hard.
Seeing him like this, Wei Jingshu didn't disturb him and threw herself into her own cause.
Suddenly, Wei Shiqi clapped his hands suddenly, very excited: "I know!" Wei Jingshu
was frightened and trembled. She slowly moved her eyes to Wei Shiqi and waited for Wei Shiqi's next words calmly.
Wei Shiqi laughed twice, and then explained: "Sister Shu, I know, I originally regarded you as my sister!"
No wonder he was so nervous. The people in the village were good, but they lacked something. As a brother, he was naturally unwilling to let Wei Jingshu marry them.
Wei Shiqi thought he had found a reason, and he felt much more comfortable when facing Wei Jingshu.
But he saw Wei Jingshu gesturing his height and then gesturing her own.
There was a huge gap between the two of them. She stared at Wei Shiqi with resentment, let out a sigh of relief, but also calmly: "Okay, brother is brother."
Wei Shiqi's previous ease was gone in a flash, and he was instantly overwhelmed by helplessness. His chest was clamoring with inexplicable emotions, and the completely unfamiliar feeling made him subconsciously avoid it.
"Sister Shu, I would like to ask you to go up the mountain with me to chop firewood. The firewood for smoking meat at home is almost used up, and my father is busy making furniture and has no time, so--"
He was looking for an excuse, afraid that Wei Jingshu would refuse, but also afraid that Wei Jingshu would agree. Amid the contradiction, he had already made an explanation: "But if you are busy, I can go by myself."
"You have thin arms and legs, how many times do you have to go." Wei Jingshu muttered, put down the tools in her hands, smoothed her clothes, pointed to the house, "Brother Shiqi, wait for me for a moment."
Wei Jingshu went to the house to get a machete, and put on a backpack, put the machete in the backpack, trotted out, and said excitedly: "Brother Shiqi, let's go."
"You--" Wei Shiqi pointed at the backpack on Wei Jingshu's back.
He opened his mouth in a hoarse voice, and his heavy emotions turned into helplessness: "You don't need to carry a basket when chopping wood."
"Let's find some mountain products by the way." Wei Jingshu's watery eyes were full of smiles, and her words were full of admiration, "Sister-in-law said that there are many delicious foods in the mountains. I will find them and she will cook them for me."
Wei Shiqi's suppressed inexplicable emotions were swept away immediately, and he couldn't help laughing and teasing: "Sister Shu, just remember to eat."
Wei Jingshu nodded at ease, not thinking that thinking about eating was a bad thing, and said happily: "Sister-in-law said that being able to eat is a blessing. I can eat, which means I am blessed."
"Okay, okay." Wei Jingshu was eager to try, "Let's go quickly."
The little darlings in the mountains are waiting for her!
After that, Wei Jingshu couldn't wait to pull Wei Shiqi out.
"My father said that the mountains over there are suitable for smoking meat." Wei Shiqi pointed to the mountains in the distance.
Wei Jingshu took a look and saw that they were a little distant, but it was not a big problem. She nodded and said, "I'll listen to you."
The way to the mountain passed by Wei Shiqi's house, and opposite was the address chosen by Wei Jingshu. When a group of young people saw Wei Jingshu coming, they called out to her in groups of three or five, and Wei Jingshu responded with a smile. Wei Shiqi's
heart froze slightly. He looked at Wei Jingshu and others laughing and laughing, and he felt a little uncomfortable. He frowned slightly and moved to the other side of Wei Jingshu, just blocking everyone's view of Wei Jingshu.
"If you are thirsty or tired, my house is just across the street. Let my mother get you a bowl of water." After all, they were classmates in the past, so this action and these words were not abrupt, and no one thought it was inappropriate.
"Shiqi, we must get together some other day. We haven't talked for a long time since you went to school in the county." One of them said.
Wei Shiqi agreed, and then said, "We are still busy going up the mountain to chop firewood, so we will leave first."
Several young people waved their hands and went back to work.
——Although
Wei Jingshu and Wei Shiqi did not often go up the mountain, they were very familiar with the entrance to the mountain. They took a shortcut and climbed up the mountain together along the path. After selecting what they wanted to chop, they marked it and chopped it down when they reached a high place.
In addition to the backpack and the machete, Wei Jingshu also brought a few ropes of appropriate length, which were perfect for tying firewood.
Wei Shiqi's original intention of going to Wei Jingshu was not to chop firewood, so naturally he did not bring any tools. He was embarrassed for a while, and followed Wei Jingshu silently in small steps. It's not that
he had never thought about taking Wei Jingshu's knife to chop firewood, but he was always rejected by Wei Jingshu. Despite this, he took the initiative to move the new firewood when Wei Jingshu chopped it down, and when he had a certain amount, he tied the firewood with ropes.
After cutting two large bundles, Wei Jingshu, at Wei Shiqi's request, prepared a long stick as thick as her forearm and fixed the bundled firewood on both ends of the stick.
Wei Shiqi tried it out and found that Wei Jingshu tied it firmly and it did not shake too much when he carried it. He tried to walk a few steps again. It was a bit heavy, but he could still hold on until he got home.
"Are these enough?" Wei Jingshu pointed to a pile of wood in front that was suitable for smoking meat, "There's more there."
"These are enough for today." Wei Shiqi hid his selfish thoughts, "Let's come back tomorrow."
Wei Jingshu looked at Wei Shiqi in confusion: "I can still take a lot more!"
"You still need to find mountain products, right? I'll take the firewood back by myself and see. If it's not enough, I'll come back tomorrow." As he said that, he suddenly became curious and asked with a smile, "Sister Shu, don't you want to come out with me tomorrow?"
He looked at Wei Jingshu steadily, with a sense of nervousness in his eyes that he didn't even notice, but he kept smiling.
Wei Jingshu shook her head: "I just thought it would be best to finish it in one day."
She was not entangled: "But it's Brother Shiqi's."
The mountain products that Li Rou told her about were mushrooms. She had never seen them before, but she remembered the description Li Rou gave her: like an umbrella, short and small.
She bent down and carefully searched along the forest, and threw the ones that matched the description into the backpack.
Wei Shiqi took a look at it. Many of them were inedible. It was obvious that Wei Jingshu was in high spirits. He couldn't bear to disturb her and just reminded her: "After you take these mushrooms back, let your sister-in-law take a look first-"
"Forget it." He suddenly shook his head, "After you take them back, bring them to my house first, I'll show them to you, and then you can take them back."
"Okay?"
Wei Jingshu was busy picking mushrooms and didn't hear it at all. She picked them one by one, so unhappy.
Wei Shiqi had no choice but to call Wei Jingshu again, and when she looked up, he reminded her again.
Wei Jingshu chuckled and smiled softly, which was warm and beautiful: "Brother Shiqi, don't worry. Sister-in-law said that she will pick the mushrooms first after you bring them back, and pick out the inedible ones and keep the edible ones."
"Thank you, Brother Shiqi." Wei Shiqi was really thinking about her, so she thanked him sincerely.
It was just a simple sentence, but it made Wei Shiqi feel embarrassed. He coughed and turned his head away: "It's okay, this is what I should do."
He wanted to say something else, but Wei Jingshu in front of him suddenly tightened his expression, his face was serious, and he stretched his neck to listen to the distance: "Brother Shiqi, did you hear anything?" Wei Shiqi
was infected, and he was serious for a moment, holding his breath.
No matter how hard he listened, there was nothing else except the sound of the wind blowing the trees.
However--
"No, someone is calling for help!"
