The hot flashes of summer are attached to people's bodies, densely covered with a layer of sweat, and occasionally a gust of wind hits, and they feel slightly cool.

The huge Cui Mansion, the silence can hardly hear the slightest sound, at a glance, the white flags in the sky up and down the mansion are violently sounding with the wind, faintly, the low and suppressed cry comes from the mourning hall, accompanied by the sound of the wind, like an endless lamentation.

Yuan lay quietly in the dark and solemn coffin, his hands folded on it, his face as kind as before, as if he had just fallen asleep.

Under the mourning hall knelt the juniors and girls in the house, stacks of paper money were thrown into the brazier, little by little by the red fire snake swallowed, turned into ashes, with the wind can flutter lightly, hovering in the air for a long time.

Gradually, in the second half of the night, there were fewer people in the mourning hall, but the slender figure knelt there persistently, never moving, and suddenly, it was like a stone sculpture.

"Girl, slave beg, please rest, your body will not be able to bear it if this continues. ”

The cry of the green mane, which was almost begging, fell lightly in Cui Zhiwan's ears, but the girl didn't seem to hear it, and still knelt there in a daze, her eyes were not as vivid as the wild geese in the past, as if they were just a pool of stagnant water, without any life.

The cold pain under her knee seemed to have numbed her, looking at the heavy coffin in front of her, Cui Zhiwan felt as if her heart had been dug out by life, empty, but it was poured into a colder wind.

Little by little, her mother's gentle face appeared in her mind, and she couldn't help but think of the scene when she was a child, snuggling up in her mother's arms, arguing for her mother to teach her to write.

Those memories are still there, but her mother is gone, and in this life, she can no longer see that familiar smile or hear the call of doting.

"Girl—"

Sensing the sloppiness and strangeness in Cui Zhiwan's eyes, the green mane kneeling on the side became more and more frightened, and couldn't help crying.

Cui Zhiyan, who looked depressed, also felt a pain when he looked at this scene, and his tired and reddened eyes were full of unbearable.

"Ah Wan—"

blurted out the words, and Cui Zhiyan realized that his voice was hoarse like this.

The haired girl in front of her was still motionless, and Cui Zhiyan finally couldn't help but step forward, but she heard movement at the door.

I saw Xie Yun, who was dressed in plain clothes, walked in gently, and there was nothing left around his waist except for a ribbon.

Silently, Cui Zhiyan and Xie Yun bowed their heads to each other, and when Cui Zhiyan looked at the girl in front of the mourning hall with a touching face, Xie Yun also looked over, and his fists couldn't help but tighten a little.

When he let go again, Xie Yun slowly stepped forward, and Cui Zhiyan signaled everyone in the room to retreat together.

"Ah Wan—"

The man's gentle voice was like a long flute, which gently touched the girl's heart, but the girl in front of her still did not move, and the appearance of losing her soul only made people feel distressed.

"Mother-in-law would be sad to see you like this. ”

Hearing this, Cui Zhiwan finally moved slightly, and the next moment, a tear slid down the girl's cheek silently.

"Mother promised me that day that she would come back and eat with me—"

Speaking of this, the girl's voice gradually choked, and it was almost unbearable to make a sound.

Xie Yun's eyes darkened, and the next moment he squatted down, half-kneeling beside the girl, silently staring at the girl's pale face, wanting to speak, but didn't know what to say.

"It's all my fault, if I had insisted on going with my mother that day, or if I had rejected Mrs. Zheng's invitation, it wouldn't have been—"

The more the girl spoke, the more determined she became, as if she was really the culprit, her pale and weak face was full of self-reproach and remorse, her hands were clenched tightly, and her whole body trembled.

Seeing this, Xie Yun's heart sank, and he immediately put his hands on the girl's shoulders and said: "It's not your fault, how did you know that there would be such a change, even if you went with you at that time, now the father-in-law and your brother will only have to endure more pain." ”

Hearing this, the girl seemed to stiffen, and looking at Cui Zhiwan like this, Xie Yun's heart was even more gloomy.

Now he knows the cause of Mrs. Cui's death, but he has to hide it from the person in front of him.

Because he didn't want to involve the girl in this whirlpool, and he was even more afraid that all the disadvantages would turn on her again.

"If you didn't go with you, your mother-in-law will be pleased. ”

Feeling that the girl gradually calmed down, Xie Yun's expression became more serious and gentle.

"Ah Wan, you have to take good care of yourself and send your mother-in-law on the last journey, so that even if your mother-in-law leaves, she can rest assured. ”

After the words fell, Cui Zhiwan finally raised her head, looking at Xie Yun quietly with a pair of moist eyes, when she saw the gentleness in Xie Yun's eyes, suddenly, the vacant place in her heart seemed to be injecting warm current little by little.

She knew that Xie Yun was right.

Since the day my mother left, my father has been like an old night, and even his body is no longer what it used to be.

And now, the eldest sister-in-law is pregnant, but the elder brother is bearing the grief and heavy responsibility, and he is carrying everything alone.

She can't sink anymore, even for the sake of her mother, she has to be strong, take care of everything in front of her with her brother, and take care of her father.

Thinking of this, the girl's eyes gradually became determined, and at that moment, the weak body seemed to be suddenly propped up.

"Thank you. ”

The girl's voice was calm and gentle, Xie Yun's heart finally relaxed slightly, but her words were as gentle as ever.

"Between you and me, you will never need those three words. ”

The girl was slightly shocked when she heard this, the corners of her mouth gradually hooked up a little arc, and when she turned to look at the solemn and solemn mourning hall again, her eyes couldn't help but turn red again, but she couldn't hide her strength and said: "Tonight, let me cry for the last time." ”

After the words fell, the girl silently lowered her head, and tears fell to the ground one by one.

Looking at the girl's slightly trembling shoulders, Xie Yun squeezed his hand slightly, and finally stretched out his hand and wrapped the girl in a warm embrace.

"Cry, I'll be with you tonight. ”

As soon as the words fell, the girl in her arms couldn't hold back any longer, clutched his clothes tightly and cried.

……

The next day, Cui Zhiwan had calmed down, and silently greeted several elders who came to mourn.

And in between, there is Mrs. Zheng's Wei.

It turned out that Mrs. Cui treated Wei like a daughter before her death, and Wei's husband and Cui Shangshu had a master-apprentice relationship, so Wei blamed himself for Yuan's death, and went to Yuan's spirit to kneel all night on the day of the incident, and no one could persuade him.

This incident was originally an accident in the eyes of the Cui family, but seeing that Wei was like this, he did not have the slightest resentment.

But this Wei family is affectionate and righteous, and only said that the Yuan family treats him like a daughter, so he begs to be like the descendants of the Yuan family, help take care of the funeral affairs in the Cui family, and send the Yuan family on the last journey.
