Purifying Mantra Chapter 5 Brother

His eyes glanced at me, and they were slightly curved, not as sharp as before. His tightly pursed lips were slightly raised, making the outline of his face much softer: "Do you think of me now?" His voice was unique and low. .

I was stunned for a moment, then inadvertently flicked my fingers to the pocket of my pants that contained the note: "It turns out that the note on the train was left by you. I thought it was written by the girl who admired me!" As I said this, I murmured in my heart, and he said: I got off the train first, so how did you arrive before me? Of course, now is not the time to discuss this issue.

After Zhao Shuang heard what I said, he curled up his lips and let out a sigh. I gestured to punch, and he was stunned for a moment, then raised his chest to meet my fist. We all laughed heartily.

"You are finally together again. Okay! Okay!" The grandma came over and looked up at the two of us. She took mine and Zhao Shuang's hands, folded them together and held them in hers. When I was young, Zhao Shuang and I often went out to play hand in hand, but now that we are older, touching another male's hand makes me particularly uncomfortable. Zhao Shuang also felt uncomfortable with the sudden intimacy. An imperceptible flush spread from behind his ears to his cheeks and chin.

"Brother Shuang!" Bai Xue came over and shouted shyly. I was very grateful to Bai Xue in my heart for coming to resolve the embarrassment.

"Baixue?" Zhao Shuang took the opportunity to withdraw his hand and looked at the girl in front of him in surprise, not daring to recognize her. Bai Xue nodded to him for confirmation. His expression returned to a serious tone and he said softly: "Long time no see!"

"Yes! You and the two of them haven't seen each other for more than ten years." The eldest grandma sighed softly: "Shuang'er, go and put the dishes on the table and invite Mo'er and the others to eat!" The eldest grandma started talking happily again in a blink of an eye. Get busy. Bai Xue gave me a look, and I agreed to help with the meal.

My heart was beating wildly because friends I hadn’t seen for more than ten years were reunited. I thought they must be the same as me. The eldest grandma was also in high spirits because of the rare excitement at home, and she kept picking up vegetables for us and chatting about home-cooking.

"Shuang'er, after dinner, take the things I prepared and go back with Mo'er and the others to accompany them to wake up. Help me see my sister off." Grandma ordered sternly. The eldest grandma is grandpa's first wife, and grandma is just a girl who was sold into the Zhu family to pay off debts. Due to the rules, she does not have to attend grandma's funeral. Now she actually arranges for her own grandson to come to the vigil, which shows the deep friendship between her and grandma.

Zhao Shuang raised his eyebrows and glanced at me, and responded softly: "Yes! Okay!" I was a little excited, so that we could have a whole night to reminisce about old times.

After eating and tidying up, we bid farewell to my grandma and the three of us returned to the mourning hall.

The uncle and the second aunt were very happy to see Zhao Shuang. They asked him to greet him and scolded Huang Xiao again. I looked at my grandma’s portrait in the mourning hall and felt emotional in my heart. The four of us were separated because we lived with our parents, and today we are reunited because of grandma's death. All this was arranged by grandma. It's a pity that Huang Xiao couldn't come back.

The second aunt made arrangements for the wake and went to rest. The three of us sat in the funeral hall filled with fireworks. The candlelight flickered a few times due to the wind, and it looked ridiculous when reflected on our faces.

"Do you remember the time when Grandpa Wu led the dog at the bridge and chased us with a stick?" At this time, I must tell something interesting to stop everyone from dozing off.

"It's not because of you that you said you would do good deeds like Lei Feng and help the farmer uncle weed. He led us to pull out the tomato seedlings that Grandpa Wu had just planted." Zhao Shuang answered almost immediately. It seemed that this matter deeply impressed him.

"I remember this too! I was only in the second grade at that time. Grandpa Wu chased us all the way to grandma's house, and grandma even quarreled with him. Later, my dad paid the money and settled the matter." Bai Xue sat across from me and Zhao Shuang and said with a smile: "You three ran fast, and I lagged behind because I was afraid of being bitten by the dog."

"How do I remember that Zhao Shuang and I ran last?" I glanced at Zhao Shuang and he nodded.

"Really? My dad was very angry. He drew four circles in the yard and asked us to stand in the sun and reflect. But as soon as my dad left, grandma moved a stool and put it under the shade of a tree for you to sit on. I gave you a big piece of watermelon." Bai Xue said angrily.

"Grandma asked me to look after you!" I laughed.

"She always loves you more, and Huang Xiao even rebelled against this!" Bai Xue continued.

"I remember my grandma said at the time that people's hearts grow on one side. Could it be that your heart grows in the middle?" This is really a very philosophical sentence. We all looked at grandma's portrait and renewed the incense candles for her together. .

"You are the one who takes the lead in doing bad things, and we are punished." Zhao Shuang glanced at me, but his eyes were full of smiles.

"Huang Xiao is the oldest, but you always say you are the eldest brother!" Bai Xue also looked at me with a smile.

"Because Huang Xiao is not as smart as me, and you are all younger than me." I said somewhat proudly.

"You and I were born on the same year, month, and day, so why are you older than me?" Zhao Shuang stared at me, slightly raising the corners of his mouth, and seemed to be serious about this matter again.

"I'm taller than you!" I raised my head and said proudly.

"I'm 1.82 meters tall, are you taller than me?" Zhao Shuang was a little unconvinced.

"Come on! Bibi!" I jumped up from the stool, stretched out and shouted. Zhao Shuang actually stood up and turned his back to me. I leaned over in anger. There was a burst of warmth from behind, which made me shiver and shout: "Bai Xue, let's see who is taller among us!"

Bai Xue walked up to us with a smile, put her palms flat on our heads, and whispered a little embarrassedly: "The same height."

"Okay then, let us use the most scientific, accurate and efficient method on earth to decide who will be the brother!" I turned around and gestured to Zhao Shuang and said, the same thing and the same words, I have been doing it for more than ten years. I have said it before, I wonder if they still remember it.

Zhao Shuang looked at me, his eyes sparkling with laughter: "Win or lose in one game, and the one who wins will be my brother. Don't cheat!"

We raised our fists and started playing rock, paper, scissors. I remember that Zhao Shuang loved to play scissors, so of course I played rock. The result is obvious, I am still the same brother. The three of us laughed, like we did when we were kids.

"I remember that the two children in my aunt's family are older than us." Bai Xue said suddenly.

"Yeah! I only met them once. Miao Jing was thirteen years old when we met, and Miao Qing was nine years old like me." That meeting was because my father passed away. When I talked about my aunt, something suddenly flashed in my mind, but I didn't catch it because I moved too quickly. What was it? never mind! Will always remember.

The three of us tacitly stopped this topic, because my aunt's family had an accident after my father passed away, and they were all gone. We started talking about funny things from our childhood again. It was dawn in a flash, as if nothing had happened.

"Bai Xue, do you know where your name came from?" I looked at Bai Xue sitting opposite with hot tea in hand and said with a smile. She raised her eyebrows slightly, widened her eyes, and tilted her head to express her willingness to hear the details. Zhao Shuang also raised his lowered gaze and moved his legs, looking quite interested.
