"Brother, it's snowing heavily outside, and the ground is slippery, so don't go out. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
In the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, even though the snowflakes fell like goose feathers, and the cold wind cut people's faces like knives, they still couldn't stop the sound of firecrackers and celebrate the New Year.
Yin Mingzhao was dressed in fox fur, holding a box in his hand, pushed by Wu Si, and walked to the door.
"I will give this painting to my master, and I will return as soon as I go. ”
He promised the master that he would give it to him when he had finished painting, and he could not break his promise.
Wu Si rubbed his hands and said, "Second Miss, don't worry, the little one will definitely protect the young master's safety." ”
"Go early and return early, and come back to celebrate the New Year together. ”
It's lively outside today, and there's nothing wrong with going out for a walk.
Wu Si put his hands to his mouth and sighed, responded with a smile, and pushed the young master out of the door.
didn't take a few steps out of the door, Yin Yaxuan trotted out and chased after her, shouting: "Wait a minute!"
Wu Si heard the second miss's shout and looked back at the second miss who ran out of the door.
"I took this hand stove and froze my hands carefully. Yin Yaxuan stood in front of her brother and stuffed a hand stove into his arms.
Yin Mingzhao smiled and took the hand stove in his hand, "Got it, it's cold outside, go into the house quickly." ”
Yin Yaxuan came out in a hurry, she didn't have time to put on her clothes, she ran out wearing only a small jacket, and she really felt the coldness after standing for a long time.
"Wu Si, be careful when pushing, don't fall. After carefully admonishing again, Yin Yaxuan was relieved to go back.
In the kitchen, my father made a fire, my mother, Aunt Zhao and my sister were making dumplings, Yin Yaxuan wanted to help, but there were really no people in the kitchen.
"Okay, you go and rest, if you're bored, go and play with Miss Chi. Zhou saw that his little daughter was working at the kitchen door and saw that there was nothing to do, so he asked her to have some fun by herself.
Yin Yaxuan glanced in the direction of Chi Yao's house, she had gone to look for it early this morning, but there was no one in the Chi family.
She originally wanted to invite Chi Yao and Grandpa Chi to come to celebrate the New Year together, there were many people and it was more lively, but I don't know where they went, there was no one all day.
"I'd better go and talk to Grandma Zhao. Yin Yaxuan turned around and went to the east ear room.
Grandma Zhao is Aunt Zhao's mother, and the Zhou family took Grandma Zhao to the Yin Mansion, and after the family was separated, they also moved over together.
On weekdays, Grandma Zhao and Aunt Zhao live together, which is convenient to take care of, and her father and mother treat Grandma Zhao very kindly.
Grandma Zhao is blind, every time she sees Grandma Zhao, Yin Yaxuan will think of An Niang, and she doesn't know where An Niang is at the moment? It should be in her hometown, but An Niang's hometown doesn't seem to have any relatives anymore, I don't know who An Niang spent this year.
"Grandma Zhao, I'll peel a fruit for you. Yin Yaxuan peeled the fruit and handed it to Grandma Zhao.
Grandma Zhao smiled kindly, although she couldn't see with her eyes, it didn't hinder the old man's mood at all.
"Okay, thank you Xuan'er. Grandma Zhao smiled and ate one, and then asked, "Why didn't Xuan'er go with your sister?"
"They're all busy in the kitchen, I can't intervene, Grandma Zhao, don't bother me. Yin Yaxuan smiled naughtily at Grandma Zhao, but Grandma Zhao couldn't see it.
"How can it be annoying, it's too late for grandma to be happy. ”
Grandma Zhao is Aunt Zhao's mother, although she and her sister are not their own grandmothers, but they all follow their brother and are called grandma.
At first, Grandma Zhao also excused herself, saying that she was a vulgar woman, how could she be their grandmother, but later under their persuasion, she slowly accepted it.
People who can't see with their eyes tend to have more sensitive ears, and when she was talking to Grandma Zhao, Grandma Zhao suddenly leaned in her left ear out of the window, and seemed to hear something.
"Grandma Zhao, what's wrong?" Because of the cold winter and the snow outside, charcoal was burning in the house, and the windows were closed.
She looked up at the window, and there was a faint glow of fireworks, flickering and flickering, which made people want to open the window and take a look.
The corners of Grandma Zhao's raised mouth froze.
"Xuan'er, did you hear anything?"
The endless sound of firecrackers outside, the charcoal fire in the house that collapsed from time to time, and the laughter of the family in the kitchen, what Grandma Zhao asked, I'm afraid it's not these.
But other than that, she couldn't hear the voices of the side.
"Outside, every house is setting off firecrackers, and it sounds hilarious. Yin Yaxuan said, seeing Grandma Zhao leaning towards the window again, she couldn't help but look out of the window suspiciously.
Grandma Zhao pondered for a moment, her cloudy eyes rolled, and she raised her wrinkled hand and stroked her gray hair.
"It's okay, the rumbling of firecrackers outside reminds me of twenty years ago......" Thinking of what happened twenty years ago, Grandma Zhao didn't say anything more, but Yin Yaxuan experienced the worry and fear.
"Maybe I'm too old to hear well. Grandma Zhao clasped her hands together, clenched them tightly, and couldn't stop trembling.
She was scared.
Through the noise of joy outside the window, for a moment she seemed to hear the sound of horses' hooves.
Not a horse, but the sound of thousands of horses, iron horses stepping by.
It was the same voice she had heard twenty years ago.
One night twenty years ago, she was still asleep when she was awakened by the voice.
When I opened my eyes, I saw that the fire in the sky seemed to swallow up the whole town.
It was the sound of war, and Rong Di had killed.
Thinking of the past, Grandma Zhao's body shook, at that time she still had a pair of sound eyes, she had witnessed the ferocity of the Rongdi people, they killed people when they saw them, robbed them when they saw money, and burned houses when they saw them.
Overnight, I don't know how many families were destroyed and destroyed in the brutal war.
"Grandma Zhao?" Yin Yaxuan saw that something was wrong with Grandma Zhao, held Grandma Zhao's with both hands, and asked softly.
Grandma Zhao blinked her empty eyes vigorously and smiled in the darkness, "Xuan'er, grandma is fine, you go and see, are the dumplings wrapped." ”
The kitchen in the east ear room is not far away, the doors of the two rooms are also open, and Yin Yaxuan can hear the busy sound in the kitchen, and it is obvious that it has not been finished yet.
I don't know what Grandma Zhao remembered, and suddenly it became like this.
Yin Yaxuan answered and walked out of the door.
When Grandma Zhao heard that Yin Yaxuan was gone, she shrank back, and the whole person shrank to the corner of the bed.
What did Grandma Zhao hear just now?
Walking out of the room, Yin Yaxuan looked up at the sky and looked north.
I don't know which family has bought so many fireworks, and it has been set off for half an hour, and the colorful fireworks in the sky have not stopped.
Who else can have such a big deal in Los Angeles besides the Luo family?
Yin Yaxuan looked at the fireworks, and the dazzling light was fleeting.
But what is the dense fire in the sky?
After a burst of fireworks, somehow an extra light suddenly appeared in the sky, like a meteor, drawing a beautiful arc, and then fell to the ground.
A wave rises and falls, and in the blink of an eye another wave.
Yin Yaxuan looked up, and one of them fell from the sky, getting closer and closer to her.
Her eyes widened suddenly, and a golden spot was reflected in her watery eyes.
