Chapter Ninety-Four: Oath at the Grave

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew around the tombstone, and the thorns and branches rattled everywhere, and the sound of jackdaws flapping their wings and their terrible cries could be heard in the distance. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Fang Qingming looked around, he stood up happily and shouted around, "Dad, Mom, are you here?" Did you come to see me? ”

"Mommy, Mommy......"

Fang Qingming's tears remained again, the more he shouted, the more desperate he became, and finally he hugged his knees and cried bitterly.

Su Minhe hugged Fang Qingming's somewhat cold body distressedly, and comforted: "Qingming, don't cry, if your uncle and aunt are still here, they will definitely not want to see you like this!" ”

Fang Qingming whimpered: "Mom and Dad must be blaming me for not coming back to see them for so long, they must be angry with me." ”

"No, Qingming, they love you, they won't be angry!"

"No, no......" Fang Qingming held his head in his hands and cried out.

Su Minhe was distressed to death, he grabbed Fang Qingming's hand and shouted loudly: "Uncle and aunt, please believe me, I will definitely take good care of Qingming, if I do something negative to Qingming in my life, then let me die a good death!" ”

Fang Qingming covered his mouth in a panic, and whimpered to stop: "Don't talk nonsense!" I don't allow you to curse yourself like that! ”

Su Minhe looked at Fang Qingming firmly, and said heavily: "I will definitely do it, Fang Qingming, believe me!" ”

The wind around him suddenly stopped, Fang Qingming looked around in a panic, his eyes were blank, Su Minhe hugged Fang Qingming's body tightly, and repeated over and over again: "Qingming, I love you, I will definitely be good to you." ”

Fang Qingming's mood finally calmed down slowly, he slowly stood up, walked to the cold tombstone step by step, picked up the rag that had been prepared and wiped the dust on the tombstone. Perhaps because he was afraid of not being pious enough, Fang Qingming also deliberately took off his gloves, Fang Qingming's warm hands couldn't help but shiver when he first touched the tombstone that was frozen like ice cubes, but he still wiped the tombstone carefully, and he didn't dare to slack off at all.

The cold air quickly took away the temperature on Fang Qingming's hands, his hands were red from the cold, and when he finished wiping the tombstone, he was busy weeding everywhere, and he was sweating all over.

Su Minhe helped Fang Qingming finish weeding, and hurriedly took out wet wipes and handed them to Fang Qingming to let him wipe his hands.

After the whole labor, although Fang Qingming's body was much warmer, his hands were red from the cold, Su Minhe took off his gloves, grabbed Fang Qingming's hand and held them tightly in his arms.

The tip of Fang Qingming's nose was red, and there were undried tears in the corners of his eyes, he blinked his eyes and said, "I want to stay here with my parents for two more days." ”

Su Minhe nodded: "I'll stay with you for as long as you want." ”

"Thank you."

Su Minhe stretched out his finger to wipe away the tears from the corners of Fang Qingming's eyes, and said proudly: "I am your man, this is what I should do!" ”

Suddenly, Fang Qingming heard a messy footsteps in the distance, he looked over there curiously, this mountain is very empty, it is precisely because few people come, so Fang Qingming chose his parents' cemetery here, so at this time, who is the person who came?

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and from a distance, an old man in a red cotton coat walked slowly, with a green turban around her head and a basket on her arm, and was climbing the mountain with great difficulty.

As she got closer and closer, Fang Qingming finally saw her face clearly, and couldn't help but exclaim: "Little aunt! ”

The old man slowly raised his face, her mottled face was full of years, and the wrinkles looked very profound, the old man was stunned for a moment when he saw Fang Qingming, and then his eyes turned red in an instant.

"Are you...... Is it clear? The old man's voice trembled, like a candle flame in the wind, and the old man's footsteps staggered, looking at Fang Qingming in disbelief.

Fang Qingming had tears in his eyes, and nodded violently: "It's me, I'm Fang Qingming......" Fang Qingming said, stepped forward and hugged the old man, crying bitterly.

The old man's excited body couldn't stop trembling, and she said with tears in her eyes: "Qingming, Qingming, you are finally willing to come back, my poor child ......" Between the words, it was all the other party's Qingming's spoiling.

After separation, Fang Qingming carefully looked at the old man in front of him, his little aunt was really too old, a woman who was only in her fifties, she was already full of silver hair, and the years had not left half a point of attachment on her, Fang Qingming clearly remembered that her little aunt was a little chubby and a woman who smiled very warmly, but she didn't expect to see her again after so many years, she was already described as staggering and abnormally old.

"Qingming, you are finally willing to see me......" The old man's dry palm grabbed Fang Qingming's hand tightly, and said over and over again: "It's my aunt who is wrong, I shouldn't let you suffer so much, I shouldn't let you go out so young......" The old man said, tears fell again, because of family reasons, she gave up raising Fang Qingming, let Fang Qingming leave her hometown at the age of fifteen, and go outside, this incident made her regret it for eighteen years, these eighteen years, Fang Qingming sent her money and letters every year, but she never wrote the address, She walked 30 kilometers to the post office in the county seat with the letter to inquire, but she never asked for the address, and the staff told her that the messenger did not write the address, and they had no way to check it. For eighteen years she had lived in guilt, guilt for a fifteen-year-old child.

"Aunt, it's not your fault, it's not ......" Fang Qingming grabbed the old man's arm tightly, and said with red eyes: "It's Qingming who is sorry for you, it's Qingming who makes you worried......" Fang Qingming said, and knelt on the ground.

The old man trembled and helped Fang Qingming up from the ground, and stared at Fang Qingming tightly with cloudy eyes: "Child, my child...... You've suffered......"

Fang Qingming grabbed the old man's dry hands and cried, "Auntie, you just suffered...... suffered...... It's me who is not filial. The old man was obviously only in his fifties, but he had a rickety figure and a withered face, just like that old age, Fang Qingming looked at his originally rich and kind aunt who had become like this, and his heart was like a knife.

Su Minhe watched from the side, his eyes were also a little moist, he stepped forward and patted Fang Qingming's shoulder gently, and said, "If you have time, go home and have a look!" ”

When the old man heard this, he looked at Su Minhe and asked, "Qingming, this is ......?"

Fang Qingming hurriedly wiped away his tears, pulled Su Minhe and introduced, "He is my man...... It's my boss. ”

The old man folded his hands excitedly and kept bowing to Su Minhe: "Thank you, thank you for taking care of Qingming." ”

Su Minhe picked up the old man's arm in a panic and said, "Auntie, don't say that, this is what I should do." ”

Su Minhe has also done a lot of charity before, and what he can't stand the most is the scene where those who are given alms express their gratitude to him, because he feels that he is consuming other people's self-esteem, and his feelings for the other party are not charity, nor is it pity.

The old man took out the basket in his hand, took out a pair of incense candles and some paper money from it, staggered to the tombstone, placed the incense candles on both sides of the tombstone, and said movingly: "Sister, brother-in-law, Qingming is back...... Our Qingming is back......"

She lit the paper money in her hand, and the black paper flakes fluttered in the air, disappearing among the dry branches one by one.

The old man lit the incense in his hand, beckoned Fang Qingming to come over, and said, "Qingming, come and put incense on your parents!" ”

Fang Qingming responded, took the incense in the old man's hand, and knelt down in front of the tombstone.

"Sister, you told me in a dream that day, Qingming has grown up and is going to marry a daughter-in-law, you see, he is coming back......" The old man said, tears came out again, she wiped her tears, looked at Fang Qingming and said: "Qingming is very good, as white and pure as when he was a child, and his work is also very smooth, you see, his boss, he has come to see you with him." ”

After finishing the incense, the old man took the hands of the two and was about to go home.
