47. Old house

It is the house of the pattern of the ancient village, no one has lived in it for a long time, there is a big smell of dust in the air, everyone raised their hands to block their noses, Tang Xin coughed lightly and waved his small hand in front of his nose, the light in the room was slightly dim, she got used to it before she began to look at the room slowly, the position of the station is the front hall, the left is the side hall, there is a spinning frame, a ground cage, a desk, the right is the dining table, the kitchen is inside, there is an upward wooden staircase against the wall, it can be seen that Uncle Ren has asked someone to take care of it, otherwise there must be a lot of cobwebs and dust, there is a set of quaint wooden tables and chairs against the wall opposite, and there are several tablets on the desk behind it, Tang Xin saw that they were written"The Spirit Seat of the Li Ren Clan," "The Spirit of the Li Family's Loyalty," and "The Spirit of the Sea of the Ren Family," these are the only ones that record the forgotten souls of the people who once lived here.

Although the array in the house is simple and has everything, they have revealed the vitality that they once had, Tang Xin looked around again, and was deeply grateful to Ren Baoquan in his heart, if such a house is not cleaned carefully, it really can't get down, it must be cobwebs, and now it is vaguely visible that there are people here to clean, and although there is moss in the courtyard just now, there are very few fallen leaves, although it is dilapidated, it is not defeated, this is a real human favor, in comparison, Li Qingze really deserves to die of shame!

Tang Xin slowly walked to the spinning frame, the little hand gently turned the spinning frame handle, making an ugly "squeak" sound, Yunduo, who had been silently following her side, was a little silent when he saw her enter the house, and followed her very intimately without making a sound, which would see that she was interested in the spinning frame and said, "It's not bad, it's just a little rusty after a long time, and it's a good spinning wheel with a little oil." ”

"Does grandma know how to spin cloth?" Tang Xin asked softly.

"Well," Yun Duo nodded, with a proud look on his face, "Abba said that Grandma Zhuoer spins cloth well and embroiders with good patterns, and is a well-known skillful woman in our nine holes and eighteen villages. ”

The face in the portrait of the grandmother appeared in front of Tang Xin's eyes, such a beautiful and moving woman, who used to sit in front of this spinning frame, kept turning over and over again, while waiting for her beloved son to return, what kind of longing should she have at that time?!

Tang Xin's face was a little sad, some people are destined to be disappointed, but they shouldn't have expected to be let down by their dearest people.

Mu Junyao has been paying attention to Tang Xin's expression, and when he saw her frowning and pondering, he quietly walked over, shook her slightly cool hand, and when he saw her coming back to his senses, he gently let go and patted her on the back to show comfort. Tang Xin's heart warmed, he could always give her some warmth and strength when she needed it.

Tang Xin's eyes fell on the stairs and said softly, "Can you go upstairs and have a look?"

Yun Duo turned his head, followed her gaze and hesitated to speak, "That staircase is useless all year round, and it sways and sways when you walk..."

Mu Junyao and Ah Lin glanced at each other, Ah Lin and Ah Qiang took the lead in walking over, and went upstairs in a few steps, and after some inspection, Ah Lin quickly came down and said respectfully, "It's okay, Miss Tang." ”

"Thank you, Alin," Tang Xin smiled and walked towards the stairs.

Yun Duo is right, this staircase has really begun to decay over time, the wormhole is visible to the naked eye, and it shook gently when it walked up, Tang Xin went upstairs lightly and saw Ah Qiang standing on the side and nodding to her, so he was relieved. Upstairs is also a three-room room, in the middle is a small hall, with rocking chairs, a room on the left and right, the door is open, Tang thought about it and walked into the one on the left, a wooden bed, a carved wardrobe, a desk by the window, there are clothes hangers, pen holders and other things on the table, the chair is placed obliquely as if waiting for the master, there is actually a whole wall of bookcases on the side wall, covered with a thick cloth, Tang Xin raised his hand and wanted to uncover it, "Wait!" Mu Junyao grabbed her little hand.

"What's wrong?" Tang Xin asked suspiciously.

Mu Junyao looked at her and said gently, "The mountains here are cold and damp, and there are many snakes and insects, be careful." Seeing that she heard him say that the snake really hid behind him and pulled his sleeve, Mu Junyao smiled and only at this time could she see her dependence, looked left and right and picked up a wooden hanger from the desk, knocked on the bookshelf, and then opened the curtain, and after carefully inspecting it, he said, "It's okay." ”

Tang Xin walked up and saw that there were many textbooks on the shelves, from elementary school to high school and even college, Tang Xin's heart moved, and said softly, "This is Dad's room." ”

Mu Junyao was a little surprised, this was the first time she heard her call "Dad" on her birthday, and her inner desire and disappointment for family affection had been tormenting her, so she had always been fragile and sensitive, Mu Junyao gently patted her shoulder.

Tang Xin took out a high school textbook from the bookshelf, opened the yellowed pages and saw the dense notes inside, Tang Xin recognized the handwriting at a glance, "It turns out that he worked so hard when he was in school, you see how serious this note is." Tang Xin seemed to see the young man who was studying hard at the desk.

Mu Junyao glanced at it, and sure enough, he saw that there were detailed notes on almost every page, and pursed his lips and said, "I believe that he used to be a sunny boy who worked hard, but then something happened to change him, so he became what he is now." ”

Tang Xin nodded, shook his head again, and was silent. No matter what happens to him, it cannot be an excuse for him to hurt others in order to achieve his goals. After a long time, Tang Xin put the book back in its original position, gently lowered the curtain and walked out of the room, and walked to the opposite room.

It was also a bedroom, with a large carved wooden bed, a carved wardrobe, a carved case, and a circle chair, Tang Xin saw a dresser placed by the window, and walked over gently. There was a silver openwork mirror on the stage, a wooden comb, and a round wooden box, and a small hand picked up the mirror, and grandma must have sat here every day to sort out her face in front of the mirror, and now the mirror has been completely atomized, and she can't see the human appearance clearly, I thought about it, I took out a tissue from my bag and wiped it, but it was still foggy, and I approached my mouth and gently sighed and wiped it a few times, and finally I could see the image clearly in the fog, Tang Xin hooked the corners of my lips at myself in the mirror. Hello grandma!

Mu Junyao gently approached her, wrapped his arms around her waist from behind, and admired her in the mirror, "It's beautiful!"

Tang Xin pursed his lips, glanced at him in the mirror, and said dissatisfiedly, "Hey, this is my grandma's territory, can you be serious?!"

Mu Junyao adjusted his serious appearance and said, "I think you brought such an excellent and handsome grandson-in-law to see grandma, her old man must be very happy, if she is still there, maybe I will marry you to me, and I don't have to work so hard." ”

Tang Xin pursed his lips, put down the mirror and complained to him, "Paste gold!"

Mu Junyao chuckled, "I don't have to post it, I'm pure gold!"

Tang Xin cut unceremoniously, raised his leg and was about to walk away, but Mu Junyao grabbed his shoulders and froze in place.

Mu Junyao approached her with a smile on his face, "You know that the chick downstairs is interesting to me, but you don't declare your sovereignty and deliberately say those words, what do you mean?"

Tang Xinbai glanced at him, "Otherwise, I'm not your anyone, I don't care." ”

Mu Junyao chuckled twice, "Are you sure?"

Tang Xin looked at his eyes seriously and said firmly, "Sure and sure." ”

Mu Junyao snorted, lowered his shoulders, lowered his head, and when he raised his head for a while, his eyes were full of affection, "Tang Xin, I really, really can't do anything about you, really, I'm here," he compared to the position of his heart, "It's all you, if you continue like this, you'll go crazy." It's true. ”

Tang Xin originally had a smile on his face, but it slowly disappeared at this moment, the affection in his eyes was so real and profound, that she had to face him seriously, so that she couldn't help but indulge, she was in his heart!

"Tang Xin," Mu Junyao called softly, "Shall we start again?" Pick up her pink little face, touch the tip of her nose, and look for her with her warm lips.

At this moment, Tang Xin was lost in his deep affection, but he came to his senses again in an instant, and decisively pushed him away, his little face was flushed, and he said in embarrassment, "I want to be beautiful, I'm still angry!" After speaking, he hurriedly walked out of the room.

Mu Junyao roared in frustration, his fists clenched tightly, almost a little!

He shook his head and chased after him.

"Yunduo, can you take me to see Grandma's cemetery?" The little girl who ran downstairs early seemed to have just happened, smiled sweetly at Yunduo with a calm face, and saw Mu Junyao pacing downstairs and glancing at him.

"Do you want to go to Grandma Baizor?" the clouds looked shy when they saw him, "but there is a road on the mountain to the west!"

"Well, I want to go!" Tang Xin nodded affirmatively.

"Okay, then I'll take you!" the clouds agreed happily, "but there's no paper money or anything----"

"It's okay, I see that the mountains are full of wild flowers, I think she will like it more if I send grandma flowers!" Tang Xin happily took her hand, "Let's go!

"It's still my sister who is smart!, let's go!" said a few people who exited the old house, and the clouds quickly locked the door and the group went up the mountain to the west.

Tang Xin and Yun Duo were bouncing in front of them, and when they saw the good-looking wildflowers, they stopped from time to time to pick a handful, and after a while, the arms of the two of them were full of all kinds of wildflowers.

"Enough is enough!" Tang Xin smiled to stop the clouds that were still picking flowers, "Leave a little for the butterfly bees in the mountains!"

Heh, Yun Duo laughed, "Sister, you're so funny!"

Mu Junyao's eyes were smiling with tenderness, looking at the little face that was reflected incomparably brilliant by the mountain flowers, her heart was full of touch, her so vivid and bright appearance was better than every woman he had ever seen, he was really lucky to meet her, but she still refused to accept him!

"It's almost there!It's up there!" Yun Duo pointed to the opposite hill and introduced Tang Xin, "This is the destination of the Guzhai people, and every Guzhai person will be buried here after death!"

Tang Xin looked at her little hand and sure enough, she saw that there was a small cemetery on the opposite side of the stone steps, and at the end of the steps there was an ancient archway engraved with totems, surrounded by green pines and bamboos layer by layer to form a natural barrier.

"Well," Yun Duo looked at Mu Junyao and a few big men behind him, "Mr. Mu and Brother Hao, you can wait for us here, there are rules in the village, and outsiders are not allowed to enter the cemetery." He continued on his way.

Tang Xin nodded after hearing this, and looked back at Mu Junyao, "It's good for me to go in with Yunduo, and I'll be back soon!"

"I'm not an outsider!" Mu Junyao looked at her eyes steadily, and a small voice approached her, "I'm my grandson-in-law!"

Tang Xin blushed, bit his lip and lowered his head. "Shameless ----"

"Heh," Mu Junyao chuckled, "I'm going to follow anyway, and I think grandma must be willing to see her grandson-in-law!"

"You!" Tang Xin raised his eyes and glared at him, and met the smiling faces of the few people behind him.

"Let's go!" Mu Junyao walked past her with his hands in his pockets.

Tang Xin rolled his eyes helplessly and followed.

"Hey, Mr. Mu!" Yun Duo turned around and saw Mu Junyao following behind him, looking at him puzzled.

"I'm not an outsider! I'm a relative!" Mu Junyao showed a charming smile at her, and stepped into the archway while the little girl was in a daze.

"So handsome!" Yun Duo winked at the man's back, "Relatives?"

"Let's go, Yunduo!" Tang Xin helplessly took her hand to help her come back to her senses, "That guy can't get rid of him, he will follow me wherever I go!"

"Oh. Yun Duo was still immersed in Mu Junyao's invincible handsome face, and he responded in a daze, forgetting the rules or something.

Stepping into the archway, the cemetery is more solemn, looking at the neat rows of stone tombs, occasionally a few green pines stand in front of a certain monument. A gust of mountain wind blew the branches and made a rustling sound, the clouds were still small after all, and Tang Xin's hand tightened.

Tang Xin patted her soothingly, turned his head to look at the man behind him, his warm eyes fell on her face, and he was immediately relieved, fortunately he insisted on following!

"Sister Tang Xin, Sister Zhuo'er's tomb is over there, the one with two small green pines!" Yun Duo raised his chin towards the position ahead.

Tang Xin looked over and saw the tomb she said. Walked over steadily.

Like other tombs, it is also a round tomb pile made of stones, and there is a stone tablet carved with patterns in front of it, engraved with "The Tomb of Ren's Zhuoer", Tang Xin saw that the tombstone was actually engraved with "Beloved Son Li Qingzeli".

"Did Uncle Ren help set it up?" Tang Xin asked softly, stroking the words on the tablet.

"Hmm!" Yun Duo nodded, "Abba said that Grandma Drow was thinking about her beloved son until she died, so it could be regarded as a comfort to her old man." ”

Tang Xin bit his lip to stabilize the choking in his heart. Compared with Ren Baoquan's deep affection and righteousness, Li Qingze really deserves to die of shame!

Mu Junyao looked at her little face and wrinkled forbearantly, and patted her thin shoulder with her big hand.

Tang Xin inhaled and put the flower in his arms in front of the monument, "Grandma, I'm Tang Xin!"

Yun Duo looked at Mu Junyao and then at Tang Xin, Mr. Mu really took special care of Sister Tang Xin! So considerate! Squatted down to put down the flower in his arms, and said briskly, "Grandma Zhuoer, I brought your granddaughter here!" Holding Tang Xin's arm and comforting her, "Sister, don't be sad, the people in the village are good to Grandma Zhuoer, as long as someone comes here during the New Year's holidays, they will come to worship her old man, compared to her, she is more lively here!"

"I know!" Tang Xin nodded, the simple and kind people of the ancient village will definitely not let grandma be alone here, "But the person grandma thinks about the most has never come!"

Uh, Yun Duo's eyes rolled, "It's okay! I'm sure he'll be back one day!" hugged Tang Xin hard, "Besides, you're not here, grandma will be even happier!"

Well, Tang Xin replied softly, biting her lip silently, and silently replied to her in her heart, I hope there will be a day.

Dinner in the hotel's restaurant, Tang Xin saw the dishes on the table and knew Mu Junyao's intentions, this geographical remoteness, although it is a scenic spot but there are not many tourists, the supply of all aspects is limited, he actually prepared a table of southern dishes, all kinds of seafood everything. I heard that a chef was also invited! Tang Xin was moved to arrange all this in such a short time, he could think of helping her arrange dinner to thank the Ren family, and he was so attentive, this was for her, remembering that he yelled at him in the morning that he didn't understand her feelings, and felt a little guilty in his heart.

Qin Hao and a few people returned to their home field and let it go relatively open, it can be seen that Ren Baoquan and his wife are also very happy, a few people push the cup and change the lamp very happily, Ren Baoquan later sang the old tune of the ancient village with a cup, Hao Mei looked up at him with a happy face, and the clouds gently echoed, Tang Xin looked at their family of three and was very envious, this is the part she is missing, every time she sees the same scene, she can always envy, maybe there is such a picture when she was a child, but there are not many memories of her childhood in her mind, more about her and her mother。

Seeing her stunned appearance, Mu Junyao quietly approached her and whispered, "Don't worry, our family will be like this in the future, no, it will be more lively, we will have a few more." ”

Tang Xinqiao blushed and lowered her head, this guy is really getting more and more improper, and he will tease her if he doesn't pay attention to it!

Mu Junyao saw that her blushing face was extremely cute, so she borrowed a napkin to arrange her little hand under the table, and quickly let go of pretending to be a decent gentleman.

Tang Xin scolded in his heart, and he couldn't do anything about him. He is always like this, when she is uncomfortable, when she is unbearable, when she is in a bad mood, he uses his methods to pull her back to reality and soothe her emotions for her. A warm heart.

"Tang Xin," Ren Baoquan's voice cut her thoughts back, and Tang Xin hurriedly sorted out his expression and looked at him, "Uncle Ren." ”

Hehe, Ren Baoquan smiled with satisfaction and looked at her lovingly, "Uncle and aunt are very happy today, thank you and Mr. Mu for preparing such a sumptuous dinner, it's really good!"

"Uncle, this is what we should do. Tang Xin said with a smile.

"Anyway, we are very grateful," Ren Baoquan stood up, the person shook a little, Yun Duo and Hao Mei hurriedly supported him, "We have to leave, tomorrow you have to go to see the sunrise, today will rest early." After a pause, he turned to Mu Junyao, "Mr. Mu, welcome to Guzhai again!"

Mu Junyao held his hand and said politely, "Thank you, uncle." Thank you very much for your hospitality! ”

"No, no," Ren Baoquan waved his hand and refused, "Mr. Mu's wine is really better than your Aunt Hao's, but I can walk back to the road of Guzhai with my eyes closed, haha!"

Tang Xin and the others sent them to the door of the hotel to say goodbye, and Mu Junyao saw Tang Xin's uneasy appearance and signaled Alin to insist on following them away.

Then he followed Tang Xin back to the hotel with a smug and brisk attitude, and just when he wanted to follow Tang Xin into the room, he was blocked by her little hand.

"It's still early, let's sit down again. Pretending to raise his wrist to look at the time, he stared at the little woman affectionately.

It's a pity that Tang Xin has already seen through his tricks, and blocked the door and said crisply, "Uncle Ren told us to rest early, didn't you hear it?!"

After that, the door is about to close.

"Don't, you've got to let me take my quilt back, right?" Mu Junyao pressed against the door.

Tang Xin struggled to close it, shouted through the door panel, "It's mine, you can find the waiter yourself!" and then put his ear to the door panel and listened to the movement outside the door.

Sure enough, the guy who didn't give up began to knock on the door, "Tang Xin, you open it first, I still have something to tell you." ”

"I'll talk about it tomorrow, I'm going to sleep!"

"Then you sleep, I'll talk to you. ”

"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you!"

"Tang Xin ----"

"Tang Xin ----"

Mu Junyao whispered in annoyance, and suddenly remembered that the room card that Qin Hao gave him in the morning was still on him, so he quickly took it out and swiped it, and opened it! Overjoyed, he was about to push the door in and found that he couldn't open it, and when he looked at it, the anti-theft chain was hung up!

"Tang Xin!" Mu Junyao roared in frustration.

A sweet female voice came from inside, "Mu Junyao, if you dare to break in, I will let you see if I have learned taekwondo in vain over the years." ”

Mu Junyao was stunned and fell, compromised at the door, "Good night----" and then turned around and left.
