Chapter 442 and the Eagle (4)

Several people sat around a table in the yard.

The light bulb was bright yellow, and occasionally a few small flying insects hit the glass, making intermittent noises. The aroma of the food curled up, creating a warm little world.

Aunt Liu was talking about trivial matters at home, saying that her husband had not returned from supplying goods in the city, and complained that Liu Dong had already gone to college and still had no girlfriend. Qin Jue was busy working, listening to Liu Dong's feeble rebuttal to his mother, and couldn't bear it. He let out a hint of smile.

"Wolf, look at you, you're already twenty. Do you have a partner?"

Liu Dong looked helpless: "Mom, Brother Xiao Qin is a celebrity artist, okay? Don't ask around."

"Oh." Aunt Liu slapped her forehead, "Look at my memory."

Seeing how kind Qin Jue was, she subconsciously thought of him as her younger brother. She never thought that celebrities were very shy about such things.

"It's okay." Qin Jue put down the water glass and said with a smile, "I am an actor, not an idol. Whether I am single or not has little impact."

"Yes, actors, acting is their job." Aunt Liu continued, "That one, Cen Yi, has children, and it didn't stop him from winning the Best Actor Award."

Qin Jue nodded with a smile.

While she was talking, she noticed that Chen Shulan was still looking at her and Liu Dong. Although her gaze was not aggressive, it was a bit weird to be stared at all the time, so she turned around and said with a smile: "Aunt Chen, what's wrong?"

Chen Shulan smiled slowly: "It's nothing, I just see you and Dongzi sitting together, it's quite nice."

Liu Dong scratched his head and tried to comfort: "Well, yes, it will be like this if Brother Xiaoliang is here..."

Aunt Liu glared at him from the side, "How can you talk like that?"

She was about to change the subject, but Qin Jue asked in confusion: "Brother Xiaoliang?"

"Oh, that's my cousin." The atmosphere at the dinner table was a little awkward for a moment. Liu Dong knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he bravely explained, "Aunt Chen's son. We used to play together when we were young. No, You see, the names are all the same."

"So that's it." Qin Jue nodded clearly.

"Hey, yes." Chen Shulan was not as worried as Aunt Liu, but she still smiled slowly, "Liu Dong, Liu Liang, a great talent."

She didn't seem to be sad about it, but she was quite happy to talk about her son: "Liangzi was seven years old and Dongzi was five years old at the time. The word 'Dong' was originally reserved for the older one because he didn't think it sounded good. , I chose a beam that is a pillar of strength.”

Qin Jue laughed.

"No, Liang Zi has had ideas since he was a child." Aunt Liu was worried for a while, but she was relieved when she saw that Chen Shulan was not stimulated. She smiled and said, "Our son was stupid before, just like a piece of wood. , thanks to his brother Xiaoliang for taking him to play."

"oops--"

Liu Dong's face was full of words, "Just say what you say, why do you always have to criticize me?"

At first glance, she looks like her real mother!

Everyone laughed, and Chen Shulan also laughed. After a while, she whispered: "Now Liangzi is smaller than Dongzi."

Qin Jue paused with his chopsticks and said calmly: "What's going on?"

As soon as she said this, Aunt Liu became nervous again.

Chen Shulan was still smiling, and her withered yellow face was filled with light: "Liang Zi, he was picked up by the mountain god."

Qin Jue was startled: "Mountain God?"

"Yeah, yeah." Chen Shulan smiled softly, "He liked running in the mountains since he was a child and didn't like studying. After finishing high school, he said he wanted to imitate his uncle in the village and become a forest caretaker. He also said that he was the messenger of the mountain god. .”

Her smile was extremely genuine, full of a mother's nostalgia and love for her child. As if sharing a glorious secret, she looked into Qin Jue's eyes with utmost seriousness:

"No, the mountain god loved him, so he left him in the mountain. He is now a little god."

Qin Jue caught a glimpse of Aunt Liu's red eyes from the corner of his eye, so he chuckled and leaned in Chen Shulan's direction, nodding seriously and curiously.

"So that's what happened. It was such an adventure. He must have lived a good life these years." She said.

"Yes!" Chen Shulan laughed when she heard this, her reaction became faster, her wrinkled eyes were full of smiles, "I tell you, he has been favored by the mountain god since he was a child. Five When I was six years old, I secretly followed my uncle into the mountains and almost couldn't find the way. Then I came back for some reason. What is this if not the blessing of the mountain god?"

"Since then, he has believed in the mountain god. He said that every tree, every blade of grass, and every piece of wind on the mountain is the incarnation of the mountain god, and it is he who protects the children of the mountain.

"So, after he became a forest ranger, he stayed in the mountains all day, planting trees, weeding, playing with wild ducks and rabbits, and talking about, 'Protecting the ecological nature is to protect the mountain gods.'

"You see, with such a good child, the mountain god must like him very much, so when he grows up, when he is twenty years old, he will be kept as a god."

Chen Shulan seemed to be telling a fairy tale, her eyes filled with smiles.

Liu Dong bit his lip, his eyes turned red, and turned his head away.

Zhang Ming also fell silent.

"Really, that's great!" Qin Jue, as if nothing was wrong, answered with bright eyes, "Aunt Chen, I really know this. After returning to nature, this person will not have any trace of wind from now on." Every drop of rain is Him. Isn’t there a saying that says, ‘It is both one and ten thousand’.”

"Yeah!"

Chen Shulan became even more cheerful, "Little Wolf, you really understand. When I went to get the duck eggs from the nest today, there was a big one that I couldn't catch. It fell to the ground and rolled away. Guess what? After a while, it It was blown back to my feet by the wind!"

She laughed angrily and said, "Look at this kid, it's true. I'm always old, but I'm not too old to run, so I know how to do this."

Qin Jue laughed and said, "Children, aren't we all like this? Even if I want to be nice to you, I won't say it to you face to face. I feel ashamed and embarrassed."

"Yes, I like to be tough." Chen Shulan nodded with a smile.

They chatted for a long time, starting from "One time when Chen Shulan didn't go to bed at nine o'clock, a gust of wind blew out the light bulb. It must have been Liu Liang who reminded her to go to bed early" to "Every morning Chen Shulan got up and opened the door of the room to take a look. , you can see several wild fruits piled on the ground."

After chatting for more than half an hour, Chen Shulan said with a smile that she had to go home.

"Okay, Aunt Chen, take a rest early." Qin Jue waved with a smile, "Don't let Liang Zi worry about it, he is in charge of such a big mountain, how tiring it is."

"Yes, you are right." Chen Shulan couldn't help laughing, "How can I, a mother, cause trouble for his work?"

As she said this, she said goodbye to Aunt Liu with a smile. In just a moment, her face became a lot more rosy and her wrinkles smoothed out.

Qin Jue and the others watched her leave with a smile.

The night wind blew through the silent farmyard. After a long while, Aunt Liu sighed with joy and sorrow: "Oh, Wolf, you are really..."

"Aunt Chen's life is difficult enough." Qin Jue didn't say anything more, but simply said, "It's always good to be happy."

"Yes, you are right." Aunt Liu smiled and shook her head, "Oh, I should have coaxed her earlier, so that she would not be alone all the time without a smile."

"After all, you are the closest person, so it is normal to have concerns." Qin Jue comforted, "It is easier for an outsider like me to say this."

She stretched as she spoke, and changed the subject with a smile: "It's not too early, I'll go back and stay for a while, Aunt Liu, Dongzi, see you tomorrow."

"Hey, okay, take a rest."

Aunt Liu nodded.

Qin Juesui and Zhang Ming walked to the front yard and went back to their rooms.

With a click, the door was locked, and the smile on her face disappeared immediately.

The hands of the clock on the wall were ticking, and Qin Jue moved his throat suddenly, with a vague sourness and heaviness on his face.

She closed her eyes and sighed quietly.

Although the heavy mood is good for filming, it still needs to be resolved in time.

Qin Jue shook his head, tightened the thick curtains, walked into the simple bathroom, washed away the "popularity" he had picked up during dinner, and then walked out wearing only his combat uniform.

Let's go for a walk and relax.

She put on her ice skates like last time, opened the back window to a moderately wide gap, and jumped out of the house in a flash.

The night sky was quiet, Qin Jue turned a corner deftly, and through the window lattice, he caught a glimpse of Chen Shulan again.

She paused subconsciously, found a high place on a branch where she would not be discovered, and quietly watched Chen Shulan wash up, turn off the lights, and then return to the back room to rest peacefully.

Qin Jue breathed a small sigh of relief and was about to run towards the mountain forest when he heard a familiar sound of flapping wings.

...!

She raised her eyes sharply.

Under the cover of night, flying gracefully, was a sparrowhawk carrying wild fruit in its mouth.
