The wind rose at night, and the wind was mixed with the chill of Xiao Suo, and Heng Zhi had a real sense of autumn.

Heng Zhi turned the corner, and a deserted bun stall crashed straight into Heng Zhi's field of vision. On the long street, a steamed bun stall is arguably the most common, and the unusual thing is that the steamed bun stall is very deserted.

Even the old man who was sitting in front of the bun stall and looking at the dim sky in a daze, all of them were lonely, as if he was the only one left in the world, and the loneliness that went straight to the heart made Heng Zhi's breath stagnate, and he unconsciously walked towards the stall.

When she was possessed by Luo Qingting before, she and Liu Yue encountered the blue rain that left the demon valley in the county seat, and when there were few pedestrians on the street, was he as lonely as this old man.

The old man looked at it for a moment, not knowing what he was thinking, and then, as if he remembered that he had something to do, he lowered his head and kneaded the dough on the board.

"Old man, I want all these buns in the cage, help me wrap them. Heng Zhi walked to the stall and spoke softly.

The steaming heat from the steamer blurred Heng Zhi's face, and the old man's movements paused slightly, his face full of surprise.

"Little girl, who is not at home to eat meat and drink sacrificial wine with your family on the night of the beginning of autumn, what are you going to do with so many buns, don't sympathize with me, an old man. ”

The old man shook his head and smiled, lowered his head and continued to wipe the wooden board where the dough was kneaded. Holding the warm bun in her hand, Heng Zhi felt the coldness on her body dissipate a little.

This kind of warmth is not the heat of the stove, the stove can only warm her skin and flesh, but the warmth cannot reach her heart.

It's just a bun, how small, only half a palm's size, but it makes her feel warm from the heart. Heng Zhi does not deny that sympathy for the elderly is certainly one of the reasons, but there are other reasons why she bought all the buns earlier.

"I don't have a family, I think the old man's buns smell fragrant, I want to buy more, presumably on this autumn night when the autumn cold is not gone, some people can't eat, so I want to buy them and give them to people in need. ”

Those homeless beggars and homeless people, they have no family to accompany them, and some are just boundless autumn mood.

"Old man, it's not early, there are no pedestrians on the street, it's better to sell them all to me than to let these buns go cold? My family is waiting for you to go back for Chinese New Year's Eve." ”

At this time, only the old man was left on the street, and the shops on the street were basically closed, except for a few inns in the distance that were still brightly lit.

"Where did the family come from, my wife went more than ten years ago, and after getting married, she couldn't give birth to a son and a half daughter, and I was the only lonely old man in the family, so it's okay to go back later. ”

It is said that his wife and wife are old and companions, and his wife is weak and the daughter of a rich family, but she is weak and can't help it.

That year, her family was lonely, and when he was young, his family still had some money, and he met her at a market and fell in love with her at first sight.

took out the savings that had been saved for several years, and his mother gave him the dowry, gold and silver jewelry, and proposed to her as a dowry. At that time, her family had long since lost the scenery of the year, and her parents agreed immediately when they saw the rich dowry.

He organized a wedding for her, the pomp was not big, there were not many people who came, and she was not wronged at all in terms of food and clothing.

Her mother was worried about her and called a doctor for her, but the doctor said that she was dying. The mother was shocked when she heard this, how could such a daughter-in-law be infected with a serious illness.

I cried in the room for a few days, and finally cheered up and took good care of my daughter-in-law. Unexpectedly, her mother went first, and she never complained that her daughter-in-law did not give birth to a grandson for her until she died.

Later, after a few years, she finally went, and when she left, her beauty back then had been tortured by illness for nearly 30 years, and it was long gone. Before she died, she clutched his hand breathlessly.

Intermittently: "The doctor said that I wouldn't live long, and I was afraid that you would be sad when I left, and tried to get better, but in the end, I still couldn't do anything." ”

She lasted for more than 30 years, was tortured for more than 30 years, and finally died. But he cried with joy, went well, and went to a good family in the next life, so that he would no longer have to suffer from illness.

"The home is deserted, and it doesn't matter if you go back sooner or later, you will only have yourself. "I have been buried in my heart for so many years, and somehow, I actually said it to a little girl.

When the old man talked about his wife, the indifferent smile on his lips revealed happiness, and how much he loved someone would not be painful but happy when he remembered it.

Heng Zhi was shocked to realize that she had said the wrong thing, if the old man had family members, how could he be alone on the street. This old man has a deep affection for his wife, and he has something in common with Luomi-kun, they are both hard-working people.

It's just that now that Luo Jianjun has gone, Heng Zhi only has time to see his face as white as paper lying in the coffin.

"Old man, I'm sorry, I offended, and I didn't mean to mention your sadness. ”

The old man waved his dry and wrinkled hand unconcernedly, smiled relievedly, and it was easy to say it, and it was good to bury it in his heart for so long.

"Little girl, since you want it, you can take all these buns, and the children in the back can take them?"

Wang Junchun and the three of them stood straight behind Heng Zhi, with their hands on the swords at their waists, like gatekeepers. Heng Zhi's face twitched, when did they follow him?

Looking at them, Heng Zhi sighed, That's it, since Wen Jing's son had an accident, King Huan felt that a big man would come out of the corner at any time and cut Heng Zhi with a knife, so he sent Wang Junchun and they followed without leaving.

They didn't show up when they left the palace, and it was inconvenient to think about it, so they kept silently following behind them, which was also difficult for them.

"They're amazing, don't underestimate them. Heng Zhi took out the silver ticket and handed it to the old man, the old man just took it, and when he saw the amount on the silver ticket, he was so frightened that his hand trembled, and he took it back as if he had touched an iron.

When the little girl came over, he looked at her dress, and knew that she was not an ordinary girl, and when she took out the silver ticket, the old man was still frightened. The amount on the silver ticket was five hundred taels, that is, he could not spend so much money in his life.

A few baskets of steamed buns, three taels of silver is enough.

"Girl, these buns only cost three taels of silver. Thinking that she might be a young lady from a big family and had no concept of money, the old man specially reminded her kindly. Heng Zhi smiled disappreciatively and pressed the silver ticket on the stall.

The bun is not worth a few dollars, but she has her own plan: "Please accept this money from the uncle, this money is not taken for nothing, you have to agree to my request, after all, there is no white pie in the world." ”
