40 Midwinter snow

Yuelou opened the thick red velvet curtains and looked out of the house.

The cold snow is at the beginning of the day, and the morning sun is rising. The early sun dyes the thick snow into an orange color.

Even though there is snow, you can see the sunshine dotting the cold snow, and no one will feel cold.

"It's so beautiful!" Yuelou said with a smile.

Congshan was about to walk out of the door, Yuelou pushed open the window and shouted: "Come back early after work, my child and I are waiting for you!"

Satoyama wasn't going to turn back, but when he heard 'me and the child are waiting for you,' he turned around, looked at his wife gently, and waved his hand gently.

Yuelou waved his hand and smiled: "Goodbye, take care of yourself!"

"Hmm". Satoyama smiled.

After Congshan left, Yuelou stepped on the snow from the door to the gate, because it was convenient for himself and his servants to enter and exit.

"Mommy hug". Xidie got up from the bed and said with open arms.

"Don't hug". Yuelou stood at the head of the bed and couldn't help but smile.

"Mom hug"!

"No. ”

"Okay!" Butterfly lowered her head and pulled up the sheets.

Yuelou looked at the angry appearance of the butterfly, hugged her and said, "Let's go to the Little Wild Goose Pagoda today, I'll let you see something." ”

Xi Die bit her lip suspiciously and said, "Okay!"

She only says 'mommy hug' and 'okay' now, but those two words are still useful.

Yuelou put a red fur coat on Xidie, and put her growing hair neatly on the collar.

She wore a white fur coat, as white as snow.

Her face was whiter than snow and plain.

The carriage walked slowly. Because of the sunshine, Yuelou opened the curtains on both sides. She gently cared for the butterfly's armpit and let her climb on the window frame.

Xidie's dark eyes scanned the world in the snow curiously.

The valley covered in silver, the snowflakes that fall when the cold wind blows the dead branches......

Pedestrians take off their hats and dust off the snow that flies from nowhere, and when the snow drops on a woman's broom fall, the beauty of the sun shines......

"What kind of flowers will bloom when all this is sprinkled in the field of cherishing butterflies?"

"It must be the brightest and most beautiful sunflower. ”

Yuelou thought.

There is a long, long way from the foothills of the Qinling Mountains where Yuelou lives to the Jianfu Temple, but the butterfly seems to be tireless, constantly looking at this strange world. This made Yuelou bitter, her arm was unbearably sore, and the pain was unbearable.

When he arrived outside the temple, the coachman stopped. Yuelou bowed slightly and entered the temple with a gift for the boy.

The moon tower is in the main hall, the side hall, the meditation room, and the backyard have turned around, but no one has seen it.

She even went to the men's bathroom.

Of course, she came out with her nose covered, and the monk's toilet also stinks?

There is also a small half-hidden door behind the pine forest, and the faint sound of chanting comes from inside. Because it was too secretive, Yuelou did not rush in. As she passed through the pine forest, the door creaked open.

Yuelou walked over and saw a thin young monk.

She pointed to the small door and asked, "Are you all in the back?"

"Yes". Monk Dao.

"Oh, what are you doing?"

"Behind is Tallinn, the host is dead, and we are all praying for blessings. ”

"Then can you help me call the little monk with a clear heart?"

The monk scratched his scalp and said, "This...... This ......"

Yuelou Yanran said: "The monks are all bald, and the clothes are the same, no one will pay attention to one less!"

The monk had been secretly staring at Yuelou's face. When she laughed, his heart suddenly melted: "Okay, I'll call you." ”

Yuelou pondered: "The monk seems to be nothing more than that. ”

He forgot to close the door.

Yuelou looked into the door and saw the tomb towers hidden among the pine trees.

The temple has a history of nearly 1,300 years, and the tomb tower is no less than that of the Shaolin Temple.

The tomb towers are made of bricks, and most of them are dilapidated after being eroded by wind and rain. There are three-storey, five-storey, seven-storey, and Southeast Asian stupa-shaped ones.

The monks were far away, and Yuelou couldn't tell which one was pure-hearted.

After waiting for a few minutes, Qingxin ran over with a handful of snot and tears. Seeing his appearance, Yuelou took out a red handkerchief embroidered with a phoenix and wiped his face. After a while, Qingxin's mood calmed down a little.

He took Yuelou's left hand and smiled hard: "Sister is really not at the right time. ”

Yuelou smiled: "I think I came just right." When a person is grieving, does he not need more comfort from others?"

She said and took Qingxin in her arms. Qingxin cried loudly in Yuelou's arms again. Hearing the sad cry of Qingxin, Yuelou couldn't help but complain about the impermanence of the world.

Qingxin hugged Xidie and said, "Will the child leave?"

"No, it won't". Yuelou said, "It will take another month or two." ”

"She's got big eyes! she's beautiful. ”

"You shouldn't have said that." Yuelou blinked and said, "The children born to beautiful parents are always not too bad. ”

"Hah! Sister is not ashamed!"

"I'm not ashamed, and sometimes the truth sounds good. ”

"My sister brought you some gifts." Yuelou passed the bag and said.

"Almonds, persimmons, raisins, thin-skinned walnuts. My sister takes all the things she likes, right?"

"Yes". Yuelou smiled.

"Accompany me to see the wish slip that I tied to the tree with Satoyama, okay?"

"Of course!"

It was only a few dozen steps to the tree tied with countless red ribbons, but Qingxin didn't know how many words he said. Yuelou listened carefully and replied carefully.

Of course, he said some very trivial things, such as being punished by the master for copying the "Altar Sutra" yesterday.

"I'd rather copy the Heart Sutra twenty times than the Altar Sutra once. ”

His brother always told him to take out the trash.

He was always respectful and courteous in front of the Master, but as soon as he returned to the bedroom, he began to be unscrupulous. ”

Another example is when I saw a snake while sweeping the snow in the yard.

"Isn't the snake hibernating? How can it come out?"

"It may be a snake spirit, and at night it will turn into a bewitching woman, specializing in seducing monks and then eating them. ”

He kept complaining, causing Yuelou to laugh from time to time. No matter how strange a question he asks, Yuelou always finds the most interesting and philosophical answers.

Yuelou remembered that he tied the wish strip to the branch on the lowest floor, but he still couldn't find it after looking for a long time. Qingxin stood beside her with Xidie in her arms, smiling at her anxious appearance.

"Where did you go?" Yuelou looked at it again and again.

Qingxin blinked and said, "Maybe someone took it off!"

Yuelou said: "How is it possible? There are so many ribbons on the tree, who will only pick me?"

Qingxin smiled evilly: "Maybe when you tie the ribbon, there will be a monk watching!"

"Really?" Yuelou smiled, "Hand it over." ”

Qingxin looked puzzled, but his eyebrows were already smiling involuntarily: "What?"

"Ribbon. ”

Qingxin took Xidie's hand to the front and said in surprise: "It turns out that she is holding it!"

The ribbon was packed in a plastic bag, and although it was old, it was still as good as new.

"Sorry for the butterfly, this note was written by my mother." Yuelou bent down and showed Xidie a note, "'My daughter will be happy all her life'." ”

"The other one was written by my father, and it was written, 'May the family be harmonious, and the wife and children happy'. ”

She looked at her husband's delicate handwriting, and she didn't know how long she had been reading, but her eyes were blurred with tears. Xi Die's warm hand wiped her mother's tears, and her expression was indescribably serious.

Qingxin said: "Why is my sister crying?"

Yuelou wiped away her tears and said, "Because Congshan hates me more and more." ”

The cool moonlight shines through the window paper, illuminating the bedroom as bright as day.

Xidie hugged her mother's plump chest and fell asleep soundly. Yuelou looked at it for a long time, put down her hand, and turned to look at her husband.

He was already asleep, but he didn't want to sleep with him.

Yuelou sat up, folded her husband's quilt and put it at her feet, and then covered herself and her daughter's quilts for him.

This quilt was sewn by herself, and it was sewn to cover the family.

She hugged him tightly, pressed her face against his back, and exhaled long.

Yuelou felt that Xi Die's body was as hot as coals, and when she touched her forehead, she was immediately frightened.

She lit the lamp, quickly put on her underwear, and pushed her husband and said, "Hurry up and go to the hospital! ”

"Fever"? Congshan reached out and touched the butterfly. This touch frightened him and immediately jumped up from the bed, "It should be forty degrees, right?"

"Probably higher than forty degrees". Yuelou choked up and said, "I shouldn't have taken her to Jianfu Temple today." ”

"What? You took her that far?"

"It's snowing heavily, but isn't the sun coming out? ”

Satoyama said angrily, "You feel? This is the result of your feelings. ”

In the moonlight, only the low sobs of the moon tower and the heavy breathing of the butterflies could be heard. Congshan walked very fast, and Yuelou walked quickly for a while, and he had to trot a few steps to catch up. She wanted to remind her husband not to wake up the daughter in his arms, but looking at the cold moonlight on his coat, she had to swallow all her emotions back into her stomach.

She stood at the gate with Xidie in her arms, waiting for her husband to drive the car over. Her face and hands were as cold as ice. She reminded herself not to put her face on her daughter's face, but for some reason, she still put her face on it. Her tears also flowed down her eyes at that moment.

Congshan opened the car door, opened his arms, and said coldly: "Child." ”

Yuelou chuckled and said, "I'll hold the child, you can drive well." ”

"You don't go". Congshan said with an angry face.

"What?"

"I said don't go, you will only make a mistake if you go. ”

Yuelou was stunned, and at this moment, Congshan hugged the butterfly and drove away.

Yuelou still woke up at half past five. She rubbed her chest to make the milk flow more smoothly. When she opened her eyes, she found that Xidie was not beside her, and turned to look, and Congshan didn't know where to go.

"yes! He took his daughter to the hospital!"

She began to dress, crying as she wore it, and I don't know how long she wore it, how long she flowed;

She started making complementary food, and I don't know how long she did it, and how long she wept;

She began to eat, eating alone, crying while eating, and I don't know how long she ate or how long she wept;

She began to tidy up her things, clothes, diapers, socks, bathtubs, towels, shower gel, I don't know how long it took to tidy up, how long it took to cry.

After sorting everything out, she realized that it was twelve o'clock, and there were two large bags of things.

She learned from the front desk that Xidie's ward was 309, so she went upstairs.

She pushed open the hidden door. The daughter is sleeping, and the husband is eating lunch. She smiled at Satoyama. Satoyama threw down his chopsticks and lay down with his back to her.

Yuelou packed up her things, sat next to her husband, put her hand lightly on his waist, and said, "I won't leave, see how long you can pretend." ”

"Mommy hug!"

Yuelou smiled, because as soon as she turned around, she saw her daughter's delicate smile and pink little hands.

"Are you hungry?" Yuelou unbuttoned his shirt and said.

"Hmm". Xidie said softly.

"Eat well when you're hungry, and sleep well when you eat." Yuelou said as she straightened her daughter's black hair.

Xi Die pouted her mother's chest, and her black eyes swirled flexibly on her mother's face: "Mom hug!"

Yuelou smiled again and pinched her daughter's nose: "It turns out that you don't even know the meaning of this sentence." ”

After feeding, she fed Xidie supplementary food, changed clothes, and bathed. She kept an eye on her husband. He really didn't move.

Yuelou's heart slowly sank.

"What do you want to eat?" At half past five, Yuelou gently pushed her husband and asked.

Seeing that he didn't care, she pushed it a few more times.

Finally, she gave up.

After buying food, putting down her husband, and breastfeeding her daughter, she finally got away with interest.

Seeing his wife's smile, Congshan's heart became nameless.

He frowned and thought, "Are you still laughing? Because of your mistake, my daughter almost burned stupid." ”

He threw down his chopsticks and lay down with his back to his wife.

"What a hopeless man. ”

Congshan has been waiting for Yuelou to leave, but Yuelou just won't go. He heard her breastfeeding her daughter, changing her clothes, kissing her face, and washing her clothes.

The more he listened, the more angry he became, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became. Especially when he heard the sound of her breathing in his ear, he wanted to rush out of the door and vomit immediately.

"I know you're not asleep". Yuelou said, "Can't you just turn around and hug me?"

Her voice was soft, but it was also deeply lonely.

"No, I can't". Satoyama said in his heart.

"Do you know what the result will be if this continues?" Yuelou added, "It's only been ten months since we were sorry for butterflies, and our relationship has become like this." Aren't you afraid that if this continues, we'll fall apart one day?"

"None of us will change, and we don't even know how to compromise. If one day we do get divorced, whose fault is it? Is there really fate?"
