The youngster are stepping on star light in broken bits, had/left the small town continuously toward the small stream, although in curtain of night, but Chen Ping'an runs is not slower than the daytime. Chen Ping'an deliberately went round the water level deepest covered bridge position, that side creek water must be much higher than other places, Chen Ping'an selected creek water to overflow the brook of knee merely, he took off the back that woven bamboo utensils big wicker basket, bent the waist to take up to hide in an inside small bamboo basket, tight was hangs in the waist, took off the straw sandal, curled up the pants leg, this launched to touch the pebble. 少年一路踩着细碎星光,出了小镇一直往小溪去,虽然是在夜幕里,可是陈平安跑得不比白天慢。陈平安刻意绕开了水位最深的廊桥位置,那边溪水要远远高出其它地方,陈平安拣选了一段溪水仅仅没过膝盖的溪流,他摘下背后那只竹编大箩筐,弯腰拿起藏在里头的一只小竹篓,紧紧系挂在腰间,脱掉草鞋,卷起裤管,这才下水去摸石子。 His left hand was broken to pieces the wound that the porcelain lacerates also to puncture loves dearly, naturally cannot immerse, the youngster can only flip to pick in the small stream with the right hand, actually the pebble of dry river bed is easiest to collect, such that but said like Liu Xianyang, the color will shed fiercely, Chen Ping'an knows from black clothes girl now sketchily profound and abstruse principles, is not difficult to understand, feels these pebble, actually looked like followed Old Man Yao to go over hill and dale long ago, chewed to taste various mountain tops everywhere the soils, seemingly ordinary soil, some places, even if were away from a mountain top, to the mouth, is the entirely different taste. 他左手被碎瓷割破的伤口还刺心疼,自然不能浸水,少年就只能用右手在小溪里翻翻捡捡,其实干涸河床的石子最容易拾取,但是就像刘羡阳所说的那样,颜色会褪得厉害,如今陈平安从黑衣少女那边粗略知晓了其中玄机,并不难理解,觉得这些石子,其实就像是早年自己跟随姚老头翻山越岭,四处嚼尝各座山头的土壤,看似平常的泥土,有些地方哪怕隔着一座山头,到了嘴里,就是截然不同的滋味。 Old Man Yao said that this called the tree to move the deceased person to move lives, soil to resettle to achieve Buddhahood, one grasped the mud in hand, so long as left the original land, quick will change flavor. 姚老头说这叫树挪死人挪活、泥土挪窝成了佛,一把抓在手里的泥,只要离开了原本的土地,很快就会变味。 The small stream does not have the name, in small stream these big such as fist, small, if the pebble of thumb, colorful, but the small town common people, saw them calmly to lie down in the middle of limpid creek water for generations, whom naturally does not have to think that is anything cherishes the thing, if who lifts these stones toward the family/home, certainly must be regarded the fool, ate to the full was supporting, had this physical strength, did not go to do a farm work, was not the fool is anything. 小溪没有名字,小溪里那些大如拳头、小若拇指的石子,五颜六色,可小镇百姓,世世代代见惯了它们静静躺在清澈的溪水当中,自然没谁觉得是什么稀罕玩意,谁要是往家里搬这些石头,肯定要被当成傻子,吃饱了撑着,有这份气力,不去多干点农活,不是傻子是什么。 Bent the waist wading water Chen Ping'an to move things out of the way and change the creek bottom big stone unceasingly, already picks 78 pebble to put in the bamboo basket, big one big, the color varied, pebble skin color had to look like autumn overhangs the branch the golden yellow orange, there are fairly delicate seems like the flesh of baby, pitch black, moreover black shone, was bright the probably scarlet peach blossom, were most by the shrimp back azure color, to mention just a few. 弯腰蹚水的陈平安不断搬开、翻动溪底的大石块,已经捡了七八颗石子放入竹篓,大一不小,颜色各异,石子皮色有像秋天高挂枝头的金黄橘子,也有白皙细嫩得像是婴儿的肌肤,还有一团漆黑,而且黑的发亮,还有鲜艳得像是大红桃花,又以虾背青的颜色最多,不一而足。 These boorish common names were called the snake the pebble of bluestone, was not mostly big, grasps in the hand creamy heavy, if were holds up under the sunlight during the daytime high, or the night candlelight shone, the stone intrinsic skin texture trace, tiny particle complete(ly) present, like the silk, such as the slight snake fish winds indistinctly, spread out to watch slightly, skin color such as sparkling scale and snake scale. 这些村野俗名叫蛇胆石的石子,多半不大,握在手里滑腻沉重,如果是白天在阳光下高高举起,或是深夜烛光映照,石头内在的肌理纹路,纤毫毕现,隐约如丝,如细微的蛇鱼蜿蜒,稍稍拉开一段距离观看,皮色又如闪闪发光的鱼鳞、蛇鳞。 Probably about one double-hour, Chen Ping'an waist fish basket almost already packs, the old route returns to place the stream bank of wicker basket straw sandal, first went to the shore to pull out several big reed, the wild celery and green foxtail, the pad bottom of the wicker basket, this put in the wicker basket pebble, is carrying the straw sandal, was fish basket, at the back of the wicker basket, came ashore the line, to the small stream shore of beforehand turning back place, put down the straw sandal wicker basket again, went to the small stream to continue to turn moves the stone. 大概将近一个时辰,陈平安腰间鱼篓差不多已经装满,原路回到安放箩筐草鞋的溪畔,先去岸边拔了几大把芦苇、野芹和狗尾巴草,垫在箩筐底部,这才将石子一颗颗放入箩筐,拎着草鞋,系着鱼篓,背着箩筐,上岸而行,到了之前折返处的小溪岸边,再次放下草鞋箩筐,下了小溪继续翻挪石头。 After picking half basket, Chen Ping'an relaxes, raises head to look at the starry sky, is hoping for can see the meteor to delimit the nighttime sky, but apparently does not have such good luck tonight. After Chen Ping'an gets back one's composure , to continue to rely on vaguely the star light and excellent eyesight, handles miser this matter of doing. 捡了半篓后,陈平安直起腰,仰头望着星空,希冀着能够看到流星划过夜空,只不过今晚显然没有这么好的运气。陈平安回神后,继续凭借依稀星光和过人眼力,做一个财迷该做的事情。 Successfully turns to pick the pebble each time, Chen Ping'an arises spontaneously a joy. To youngster, each pebble, like a hope. 每次成功翻捡出石子,陈平安就油然而生出一股喜悦。对少年来说,每颗石子,都像一份希望。 Unknowingly, Chen Ping'an already saved the most wicker basket pebble, amounts to roughly more than 80, greatest is bigger than his fist, the color focuses attention on extremely, like the chicken blood of congealment agglomerate, and color is colorful and positive, does not give people the uncomfortable feeling, such big stone almost does not have the slight defect crack. At this time Chen Ping'an walks on onshore, moves toward the next brook, in the hand is holding appreciatively a median size the snake bluestone, the light-green, in Mei Ziqing compared with small town chinaware, wants to be paler, the pebble is clear, is very lovable, Chen Ping'an liked. 不知不觉,陈平安已经积攒了大半箩筐石子,总计约莫八十余颗,其中最大一颗比他拳头还大,色彩极为瞩目,如同凝结成团的鸡血,且色艳而正,丝毫不给人不舒服的感觉,这么大石头几乎没有瑕疵裂纹。此时陈平安走在岸上,走向下一段溪流,手里正把玩一颗中等大小的蛇胆石,浅绿色,比起小镇瓷器里的梅子青,要淡许多,石子圆润光滑,十分可爱,陈平安一眼就喜欢上了。 Chen Ping'an moves toward the shore huge azure rock cliff, the small town children are many in the summer in this creek water take a bath, under the cliff creek water is especially deep, the deepest pit must have two Chen Ping'an is so high, is this small creek water deeply is next to under covered bridge the place of deep deep pool, the river character good youngster, whom most likes competing to be long in the time of under the water hole treating here. 陈平安走向岸边的巨大青石崖,小镇孩子在炎炎夏日多在这段溪水洗澡,崖下溪水尤其深,最深一个坑得有两个陈平安那么高,是这条小溪水深仅次于廊桥下深潭的地方,水性好的少年,最喜欢在这里比拼谁在水坑底下待的时间长。 Chen Ping'an chooses this gulf , because he before and Liu Xianyang took a bath here, discovered that the pit bottom the snake bluestone was extremely many, Liu Xianyang had the time to show off own river character was outstanding, even the armpit clamped the snake bluestone to break surface intentionally together, Chen Ping'an remembers that stone were least must have the head of Gu Can is so big, the stone white was slightly transparent, inside really had the bright red careful point, like the peach flower petal that was frozen. 陈平安之所以选择这个深坑,是因为他以前和刘羡阳在这里洗澡的时候,发现坑底的蛇胆石极其繁多,刘羡阳有次为了显摆自己的水性出众,甚至故意腋下夹着一块蛇胆石上浮,陈平安记得那块石头最少得有顾粲的脑袋那么大,石头微微白色透明,里头竟然有鲜红色的细细点点,就像被冰冻起来的桃花瓣。 Liu Xianyang thought at that time this act is quite meaningful, then makes Chen Ping'an help him shoulder to go home that bulk pebble, finally to the small town, without the qualitative tall youngster felt insipid, made Chen Ping'an solve the stone, Chen Ping'an that time just entered Mud Vase Lane, discovery next door Zhi Gui inexplicable followed in oneself behind, did not speak, has stared at his arms that stone stubbornly, the look is finding the meat package that Almond Blossom Lane traded with Chen Ping'an each time almost, Chen Ping'an really could not shoulder her greed, gave her the stone, finally she could not have moved from the beginning, almost pounded the foot, Chen Ping'an has to move to Song Jixin simply In courtyard of family/home, as for the final whereabouts of later stone, Chen Ping'an was then unknown. 刘羡阳当时觉得此举颇有意义,便让陈平安帮他把那么大块石子扛回家,结果到了小镇上,没个定性的高大少年又觉得没劲,就让陈平安自己解决掉石头,陈平安那次刚走进泥瓶巷,就发现隔壁稚圭莫名其妙跟在自己身后,也不说话,一直死死盯着他怀里那块石头,眼神就跟陈平安每次瞧见杏花巷贩卖的肉包差不多,陈平安实在扛不住她的眼馋,就将石头送给了她,结果她一开始还搬不动,差点砸了脚,陈平安又只好干脆搬到宋集薪家的院子里去,至于之后石头的最终下落,陈平安便不得而知了。 Stone purely like water, peach blossom float in. 石头清白如水,桃花漂浮其中。 After Peach Leaf Lane that side rain peach blossom, blue sky long scallion. 就像桃叶巷那边的雨后桃花,霁色茏葱。 Even before today, Chen Ping'an did not know that this type of stone the mystery, he also always feels that big stone from the bottom of the heart, really attractive. 哪怕到今天之前,陈平安根本不晓得这种石头的玄妙,他也始终打心底觉得那块大石头,是真的好看。 Chen Ping'an sighed, suddenly stopped the footsteps. 陈平安叹了口气,突然停下脚步。 Outside three ten steps, on stream bank azure rock cliff, sits azure clothes girl, the cheek drum drum, but she also toward mouth stopper thing. 三十步外,溪畔青色石崖上,坐着个青衣少女,腮帮鼓鼓的,可她还在往嘴里塞东西。 The first impression in Chen Ping'an brain, girl should the starved ghost reincarnation, meet the greater part of the night to be hungry such pitiful. 陈平安脑子里的第一个印象,少女应该饿死鬼投胎吧,才会大半夜饿得这么可怜兮兮。 Chen Ping'an thinks, no longer approached, for fear that disturbs the mood that girl had a night-time snack. But has not turned around walks, after all his already decides, tonight must goes to that water hole to try one's luck, touches 1-2 stones to come ashore each time is, the number of times were many, can always succeed, furthermore the snake bluestone of this inside the puddle, compared with other small stream places, greatly, the color as if is also brighter. 陈平安想了想,就不再走近了,生怕打搅了少女吃宵夜的心情。只不过也没掉头就走,毕竟他已经打定主意,今晚一定要去那个水坑碰碰运气,每次摸1-2石头上岸便是,次数多了,总能成功,再者这个水坑里的蛇胆石,比起小溪其它地方,更大,色彩似乎也更加鲜艳。 The Chen Ping'an river character does not have Liu Xianyang is so good, but is not bad. 陈平安水性没刘羡阳那么好,但也不算差。 Chen Ping'an has not thought that strange girl finished eating was the same , takes up same from the side eats, without the free time has stood still, cheek would have no not to rouse rises. Chen Ping'an at the back of the most wicker basket heavy stone, thinks under to launch to touch the stone is also the physical strength lives, is sideways to take off the wicker basket to place the ground. 陈平安没有想到那陌生少女吃完了一样,又从身边拿起一样吃食,就没有空闲停歇过,腮帮就没有不鼓涨的时候。陈平安背着大半箩筐沉甸甸的石头,想着等下下水摸石也是体力活,就侧过身摘下箩筐放在地上。 Chen Ping'an underestimated that azure clothes girl hearing, the result is only this puts gently, girl raises up the ear suddenly, the look sweeps instantaneously directly. 陈平安低估了那个青衣少女的听力,结果只是这轻轻一放,少女就蓦然竖起耳朵,眼神瞬间直接扫过来。 Chen Ping'an also did not say the miss you to eat slowly is, has embarrassed to smile. 陈平安又不好说姑娘你慢慢吃便是了,只好尴尬笑着。 Some girl expression delay, hit two belch one after another, then she choked probably, without delay stuck out chest, puts out a hand to make an effort to whip the chest. 少女表情有些呆滞,接连打了两个饱嗝,然后她好像噎到了,赶紧挺起胸膛,伸手使劲拍打胸脯。 Chen Ping'an then discovers her to be young, the neck downward, that side scenery, is really magnificent, did not lose unexpectedly completely has given birth to child's woman. 陈平安这才发现她年纪不大,脖子往下,那边的风景,真是壮观,竟然完全不输很多生养过孩子的妇人了。 The chest front clothing ties tight fiercely. 胸前衣衫紧绷得厉害。 Chen Ping'an without delay takes back the line of sight, but does not have any evil thought daydream. 陈平安赶紧收回视线,可没有任何邪念遐想。 Azure clothes girl then remembered itself to bring the canteen, did not forget to be sideways to turn away from Chen Ping'an, raised head to fill big saliva, the breath was then smooth. 青衣少女这才想起自己带了水壶,不忘侧过身背对着陈平安,仰头灌了一大口水,呼吸这才顺畅了。 Is carrying the youngster of straw sandal, at that time actually only then a simple thought that on this miss the cotton material of clothes, certainly was not the bargain-priced goods, otherwise could not support such big vigor. 拎着草鞋的少年,当时其实只有一个简单念头,这位姑娘身上衣裳的布料,一定不是便宜货,否则吃不住这么大劲。 Azure clothes girl continues to eat the thing, this time was more implicit, least cheek are not exaggerating, the lowering the head small mouth small mouth gnawed to nip, once for a while shot a look at the strange small town youngster with the vision slantingly, a slender keeping eyes open pupil of pair of peach blossom, eye outer corner went up slightly, lets girl inborn like a young fox spirit. 青衣少女继续吃东西,这次含蓄许多了,最少腮帮没那么夸张,低头小口小口啃咬,时不时拿眼光斜瞥奇奇怪怪的小镇少年,一双桃花似的狭长眼眸,眼尾微微上翘,让少女天生就像一头年幼狐魅。 She is using the look inquiry youngster probably, what's the matter , to continue to hurry along. 她好像在用眼神询问少年,你咋回事,继续赶路啊。 The Chen Ping'an whole face is helpless, must put out a hand to refer to creek water outside azure rock cliff, shouts: „I did not pass by here, I must, in your side goes to the stream.” 陈平安满脸无奈,只得伸手指了指青色石崖外的溪水,喊道:“我不是路过这里,我要在你那边去溪里。” She looks at that thin youngster, did not speak. 她看着那个清瘦少年,就是不说话。 Chen Ping'an without delay takes up pebble from the wicker basket , to continue to explain: „I must go to the stream to pick these stones.” 陈平安赶紧从箩筐里拿起一块石子,继续解释道:“我要去溪里捡这些石头。” girl recalls the appearance of important matter suddenly, stretches out the finger to set upright in the mouth, hints Chen Ping'an do not speak, then she moved the position, obviously was lets Chen Ping'an in the past, she will not hinder him to launch to pick the stone. 少女突然记起要紧事情的模样,伸出手指竖在嘴边,示意陈平安不要说话,然后她挪了挪位置,显然是让陈平安过去,她不会妨碍他下水捡石头。 Chen Ping'an must carry the wicker basket, braces oneself, is good is very big because of azure rock cliff, can stand more than ten individuals, moreover girl already sits the edge on own initiative, did not unbend like the former both legs, sits cross-legged to sit well-mannered, on her knee is putting an opening package, piled up with the cakes and pastries snack of all forms, like a hill, so far, was eaten a hill top by girl. 陈平安只得背起箩筐,硬着头皮走过去,好在青色石崖很大,能站十多个人,而且少女已经主动坐到边缘,不像之前双腿伸直了,规规矩矩盘腿而坐,她膝盖上放着一只打开的包裹,堆满了形形色色的糕点小吃,像一座小山,目前为止,才被少女吃掉一个小山头而已。 Chen Ping'an puts down the straw sandal, wicker basket and bamboo basket, is thinking late at night, is stipped to the waist launching, now do not think, side sits strange young virgin big daughter, not to mention can she scream, if this gives her the family/home elders to see or hear, Chen Ping'an estimated oneself must be broken two legs, is not undeserved. 陈平安放下草鞋、箩筐和竹篓,原本是想着三更半夜的,就打赤膊下水,现在就别想了,旁边就坐着个陌生的黄花大闺女,且不说她会不会尖叫,这要是给她家长辈看到或是听到,陈平安估计自己要被人打断两条腿,还不冤枉。 Chen Ping'an arrives at rock cliff, dives, to entering bottom of water hole. 陈平安来到石崖边,一个扎猛子,冲进入水坑底部。 Quick touches a stone, the palm size, what a pity is not the snake bluestone, must wipe a face , to continue to dive, after three times, finally touches azure black snake bluestone. The Chen Ping'an whole body climbs up rock cliff wet, puts in the wicker basket, then continues to dig in the water. 很快就摸上来一块石头,手掌大小,可惜不是蛇胆石,只得抹了一把脸,继续下潜,三次过后,终于摸起一块青黑色的蛇胆石。陈平安浑身湿漉漉地爬上石崖,放入箩筐,然后继续扎入水中。 From beginning to end, girl is turning away from here, is busy eating the thing. 从头到尾,少女都背对着这边,忙着吃东西呢。 Less than half double-hour, Chen Ping'an fishes out 78 stones on already, is dark except for the first face chromatic polarization, other stones all are big and bright. 不到半个时辰,陈平安就已经摸出七八块石头,除了第一块颜色偏暗,其余石头皆是大且鲜艳。 Dives for the last time, without taking the stone comes ashore, but caught the live fish of palm length, the small town popular name stone flatfish, meets the person, likes hiding under the stone bridge block, meat taste extremely good, slightly is generally longer than the finger, rarely has in the Chen Ping'an hand this such big stone flatfish.

Later I grasp again.” 陈平安笑道:“那这三条就都给你好了。之后我再抓。” girl blinks, then smiled happily. The fox spirit beguiles. 少女眨了眨眼睛,然后开心笑了。狐魅且狐媚。
