I think we should meet each other in the future.
The boy stood by the rut, and the glowing ginkgo leaves were trying to slip from his hair. The sunlight filtered through the gaps in the forest, making the leaves shine with a warm light, just like the boy's warmth and jade.
The boy's name was Axiu, at least that's what Lin Bo called him. In Ah Xiu's eyes, there is no doubt that this middle-aged uncle has a very important status, just like the toys made of rags in the little pear flower's arms in the yard.
At least that was the case before Wenwen appeared.
"Uncle Lin, please teach me how to practice swordsmanship." Ah Xiu looked back at Uncle Lin who appeared behind him at some point. A hint of determination suddenly appeared on his young face.
I don't know any swordsmanship, I can hardly carry a hoe. Lin Bo shook his stiff arms and said stiffly, "Go home, winter is coming soon, Ah Xiu, and he has to cut firewood for the winter tomorrow."
Ah Xiu didn't respond, but looked back, and took the lead to walk deeper into the woods: "Uncle Lin, tell me, after I practice swordsmanship, can I go to the place Wenwen mentioned?" Lin Bo looked at the thin figure walking slowly in front of him, and suddenly there was something inexplicable in his eyes: "Ah Xiu, come with me to chop wood tomorrow."
"I will do whatever Uncle Lin asks me to do. It just so happens that I am always bored when Uncle Lin goes out."
Ah Xiu kept jumping around in and out of the ruts, occasionally leaving deep and shallow footprints. Looking at the boy jumping up and down in front of him, Lin Bo suddenly said, "Ah Xiu, I will ask Dr. Li for a cure for your legs next spring."
"No, Doctor Li is wondering. Last time, he kept saying that I was pregnant with something, and he wanted me to be his apprentice." Lin Bo looked at Ah Xiu who turned around and made a face, and suddenly felt that this young man's face was not so hateful.
Turning to Uncle Lin, "How come you never mention your family?"
"They were killed by my enemies when I was thirty years old, but I don't feel sorry because they only regarded me as a tool." Lin Bo suddenly squatted down in front of Ah Xiu who turned around in surprise and said word by word: "But they are my relatives after all, so I killed their enemies one by one, but only one baby was left. If he is still alive, he must be as old as you."
"Uncle Lin, don't look at me like this. I'm afraid." Ah Xiu was frightened by Uncle Lin who suddenly became fierce.
"Axiu, are you sure you want to learn the sword?"
"I have to learn. I asked if I can go to see her only if I have some success in swordsmanship," Ah Xiu said firmly to Lin Bo, who was tensing up. "A Xiu is about to be six years old. Wenwen is the first friend I have ever met. I want to see her. I like to be with her."
