Chapter 7 A Pool of Clear Water
Hearing that Liang Hong was going to explain the difference between men and women to Xiao Yu'er, Bai Xiu'er was going out to work on things, but she couldn't help but put down the bamboo tube in her hand first, sat down next to her, pretending to be packing things, but in fact she was listening to Liang Hong's words with her ears pricked up.
"Xiao Yu'er, Dad tells you, when Nuwa first created humans, she didn't know what humans should look like. But it doesn't matter. She knew at least one thing, that is, a person would be too boring. She wanted to create humans because she was too bored, so she created two people at the beginning. These two people were made of clay. They were like us, with noses and eyes, two hands, legs, and most of their bodies were the same as us, but there was also a difference, that is, their chests had a bulging bag." Liang Hong said this, subconsciously glanced at Bai Xiu'er's chest, with a little cunning in his eyes.
Bai Xiu'er didn't understand it and thought there was something wrong with her. Unconsciously, she blinked her eyes and looked up and down at herself.
"There is a bag on your chest, why?" Xiao Yu'er asked in confusion.
"Who knows this? Didn't I say it? Niangwa doesn't know what a person looks like. It's like giving you a pair of mud and asking you to pinch a Pikachu. Do you know how to pinch it? Of course it's impossible, because you don't know what Pikachu looks like at all. You can only pinch according to your own imagination." Liang Hong said.
"What is Pikachu?" Xiao Yuer asked.
"It's an animal, you must have never seen it. There is no need to ask more about this. In short, there is such a thing. Let's continue to say that Nuwa pinched people," Liang Hong smiled and continued: "Didn't Nuwa pinch two people at the beginning? These two people are not a man or a woman. They both look exactly the same. They are good friends, playing and sleeping together, and they are very happy. But over time, conflicts arise. No wonder, teeth and tongues can fight, and it's normal for them to have conflicts. However, the final result is a bit troublesome. One of the clay figures snatched the bag on the other clay figures and put them on his chest. In this way, the chest of one clay figures becomes flat, and the other clay figures has two bulging bags on the other clay figures."
"Ah? What should I do?" Xiao Yu'er opened her eyes wide, but Bai Xiu'er blinked and looked at her chest, and fell into thinking. Is this how these two packs on her chest come from?
"It's very simple. The man who was robbed of the bag complained to Nuwa: Nuwa, he bullied me, wuwu, the bag on my chest is gone." Liang Hong said this, laughed, touched Xiao Yu'er's head and said, "Then, Nuwa was very angry, so he decided to punish the person who robbed the thing. However, Nuwa found that the man had two bags on his chest, which seemed very symmetrical and beautiful, so he couldn't bear to twist one more, but it wouldn't work if he couldn't leave it alone. Nuwa is a great god, she must be fair. So she quietly dug a small hole from the middle of the legs of the robber, making some soil down, and then returned to the snatched person's legs, making a little extra piece of it. In this way, both of them had no complaints, became good friends, and lived happily together."
Speaking of this, Liang Hong stopped and subconsciously looked at Bai Xiu'er. He found that she was listening with relish and couldn't help but smile.
"What happened later?" Xiao Yu'er asked curiously.
"Later, after a long time, the person with two bags on his chest felt that there was less stuff underneath, and there was always a sense of emptiness. So every once in a while, another person would put the thing under him back into the small hole in his body to let her experience a little fulfillment. At the same time, as compensation, she was willing to let that person touch the two bags on her chest. In this way, the person with two bags on his chest became a woman, and the other person became a man. After they did this, they found that it was very comfortable. In the end, the woman gave birth to a baby and reproduced the original human. This is how humans came about. Do you understand now? Also, men and women have different parts. My father is a man, and Xiao Yuer is a girl, so they look different. Do you understand now?" Liang Hong looked at Xiao Yuer and asked.
"Yeah, Xiao Yu'er understands it, so it's like this," Xiao Yu'er smiled after hearing this, as if she finally understood the doubts in her heart, and was very happy. Bai Xiu'er sat there with an inexplicable expression. Is this how humans really come about? Why have you never heard of such a legend? However, this story is very vivid, and it is indeed very useful to educate children and satisfy their initial curiosity. Bai Xiu'er thought of this, and couldn't help but look deeply at Liang Hong and found that the man had a big beard on his face, looking rough and rough. Unexpectedly, he had such careful words, which was a bit surprising.
"Sister Xiu'er, I know what's going on in your chest, hehehehe, you snatched it," Bai Xiu'er was looking at Liang Hong's thoughts, a childish voice interrupted her thoughts. Before she could react, a small hand had already grabbed her chest, which made her heart jump. She quickly picked up Xiao Yu'er and smiled, "The same goes for Xiao Yu'er. When you grow up, there will be some."
"Yeah," Xiao Yu'er nodded, not understanding the adults' words yet, just smiled silly, and then happily pulled Bai Xiu'er out of the cave.
Finally satisfying the little girl's curiosity, Liang Hong breathed a sigh of relief and slowly lay down on the haystack, preparing to take a break. His injuries were still not very good and he needed to take good care of them.
However, what he is more at ease now is that with Bai Xiu'er, many tasks have been done, and he doesn't need to do it himself, so he can rest assured to sleep. The most important thing is that the group of bandits have been eliminated, and their crisis has been temporarily lifted, so he can stay here with confidence.
Since it is sleeping, time passes quickly. When I wake up, it is already night. A big white moon sways into the sky, illuminating the earth with brightness. The gentle night wind blows, the leaves rustle, and everything is so quiet.
Bai Xiu'er cooked porridge again and put wild vegetables in it. They were very full in this meal.
After the meal, the three of them returned to the cave and prepared to rest. Bai Xiu'er was not so particular. She hugged Xiao Yu'er and lay on the side of the haystack, and Liang Hong fell asleep next to them.
For several days, under Bai Xiu'er's careful care, Liang Hong gradually recovered from his injuries and was full of energy. He was already thinking about what to do next and where to go.
It was another night, half a silver moon was covered with hazy mist floating on the mountain, and the summer heat had not subsided, and it was a bit stuffy.
After dinner, Bai Xiu'er held Xiao Yu'er's hand and gestured with Liang Hong for a long time, blushed and hesitated. It took her a while to explain what she meant.
It turned out that they hadn't taken a shower for a long time. In the past two days, they happened to find a pool of very clear spring water in the woods, so they wanted to take a shower, but they were a little worried, so they wanted Liang Hong to help them look at the wind and guard them in the distance.
Liang Hong naturally nodded and agreed, so he came to the woods with them.
This is a very quiet place, surrounded by dense forests, a clear spring in the center, and the water is rippling, which is indeed very suitable for bathing.
When they arrived at the place, Liang Hong sat down on a stone not far from the spring water and asked them to go and wash first.
Bai Xiu'er was not worried about him peeking. After all, she was a veteran, so she happily took Xiao Yu'er over.
After a while, Liang Hong could already hear the sound of water splashes. He looked up and found two white figures, one big and one small, in the water, bathing in the hazy moonlight. They were obviously very happy.
Because the distance was a bit far, Liang Hong couldn't see Xiao Yu'er's appearance, but Bai Xiu'er's snow-white back was particularly clear, and her slender bee waist trembled slightly on the water surface, which was even more confusing.
Liang Hong looked at it for a while and then turned his gaze back, and felt inexplicably sighing in his heart. He knew that it was impossible for him and Bai Xiu'er, so instead of sighing, it would be better not to look at it at all.
"I wish she hadn't been ruined," Liang Hong frowned and touched his beard and laughed again. You don't look at you, being vulgar and vulgar. It would be nice to have a wife, and you still think this and that are good. Are you qualified? Brother, let's advise you to be more open-minded, as long as you live a good life, even if your head is a little green, hahaha...
Having said that, Liang Hong still couldn't overcome that hurdle, and he still couldn't accept Bai Xiu'er. This matter could only be done one step at a time, but in short, he would not take the initiative to ask for anything.
A thin layer of clouds floated over, covering the moon, and the light was a little dim. Bai Xiu'er and Xiao Yu'er washed it and walked back hand in hand. In the darkness, they asked Liang Hong if they wanted to wash it.
Of course Liang Hong had to wash, so he asked them to go back first and just stay by himself.
The light was dim, and he didn't see the two of them clearly. He just said something to them and then rushed to the spring water.
After taking off his clothes, he walked into the cool spring water, gently rubbed the wound, and the dirt on his body peeled off layer by layer, making Liang Hong breathe comfortably, as if every pore was opened and he was breathing.
After washing, Liang Hong put on his clothes and returned to the cave. Only then did he find that Bai Xiu'er had cut back the pine branches and lit a lamp.
The smoke from the lamp was very loud, but at least it illuminated the space in the cave. Then Liang Hong looked at the two women, one big and one small, but was stunned involuntarily.
