The shopkeeper took Yuelou to the best hospital in Xi'an at that time, and Mengci helped her stop the bleeding, finished the examination, and left. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Looking at Meng Ci, who was still crying on the hospital bed opposite him, Yuelou said softly: "Look, my belly is still so big, how can the child be okay?"

Meng Ci sat over, put his slender hand on Yuelou's stomach and said, "I really hope that nothing will happen! If something happens to her, I may live in pain for the rest of my life." ”

Yuelou said: "It's better for people to look away." If you take all the blame on yourself, won't you suffer for the rest of your life?"

Mengci let out a long sigh and said, "But who can see it? ”

Yuelou didn't expect that Mengci, who seemed to be unworldly, would have such a feeling, and couldn't help complaining a little about the ruthlessness of the world.

Suddenly, the door opened. Hong Xing and Cong Shan rushed in, and Mrs. Lin followed in.

Mengci saw Congshan, and cold sweat flowed out. She immediately pulled out the hand that was held by Yuelou and wanted to rush out of the door. Unexpectedly, Congshan blocked in front of her, slapped her hard, and threw her to the lap of Yuelou. Meng Ciben had just stopped crying, and then she cried again.

Hongxing and Lin Mu didn't figure out the situation, and they were both taken aback by Congshan's actions.

Yuelou scolded: "What are you doing!"

Congshan pointed at Mengci and said angrily: "It must have been this woman who pushed you down." ”

"It's not. She happened to see me after I fell, and she was the one who helped me to the hospital. ”

Congshan said: "You don't have to shelter such a cheap woman. You're usually cautious, why do you fall when you meet her?"

The door was pushed open again, and a beautiful young nurse entered.

The nurse was frightened by the atmosphere in the room. She handed the test results to Congshan and said in a trembling voice: "Child, child, child is fine". With that, she turned around and ran out.

When Mengci heard the news, he sighed, lowered his head, and ran out.

"You're back!"

Congshan frowned and said, "What do you want her to do?"

Yuelou glanced at him and said, "She's a good girl, why do you have such a big opinion about her?"

"Didn't I tell you? I felt sick when I saw her. ”

Mrs. Lin scolded lightly: "You can't say that. If she hadn't helped Yuelou over, Yuelou might have miscarried! You should really thank her. ”

Yuelou smiled and said, "I don't even know where she lives, how can I thank her?"

Hong Xing suddenly shouted: "What nonsense are you talking about! Since there is nothing to do in Yuelou, we might as well eat hot pot to celebrate." ”

Mrs. Lin chirped, "Do you think she can eat hot pot now?"

Hongxing thought that a pregnant woman couldn't eat hot pot, so she shut her mouth and didn't dare to say a word again.

Yuelou looked at her mother's angry face, and then looked at Hongxing's face full of shame, and said with a warm heart: "Then let's go eat hot pot! ”

Hongxing said softly: "It's better to be in the moon building." ”

Mrs. Lin glared at her, and she didn't dare to speak again.

At this time, Yuelou was sitting on a stool knitting a sweater. Today is her birthday, and the room is full of gifts from bigwigs from all walks of life. Yuelou has no interest in the things sent by these so-called bigwigs at all. According to the experience of previous years, the more bigwigs they are, the more vulgar the things they send, but the gifts sent by their own servants and those who have helped her family are more diverse and ingenious. She placed the gifts on the table separately.

I saw a girl with a dark complexion and dirty clothes walking in outside the door. She is from northern Shaanxi and carries a basket covered with a white cloth on her arm. Her clothes were dirty, but the white cloth was clean.

She put the basket on the table and said respectfully, "Miss, this is a little bit of my heart, you can eat it quickly!"

Although she looks ugly, her voice is tactful, and people can't help but sigh that such a good voice has grown on the body of an ugly monster.

The moon tower unveils the white cloth. I saw that there were five steamed buns in the shape of animals and flowers in the basket. A chicken, a cat, a mouse, a lion. The most unexpected thing for Yuelou was that there was a rose in the basket. Roses have flowers and branches, and even thorns. The petals are dyed red with a plant dye.

Yuelou smiled and said, "You are really ingenious!"

The girl from northern Shaanxi said humbly: "Actually, it's nothing, it's just a mold." ”

Yuelou said solemnly: "You can carve such a mold, which is naturally very admirable." ”

The girl from northern Shaanxi twisted and said, "Miss, don't hurt me." I'll go out first, and someone else will come in." ”

"Okay, then you go out! Remember to eat in the hall in the evening. ”

"Well, thank you, Miss". The girl turned and said.

The girl had just gone out, and sure enough, a valet walked in.

The handmaid held the floor in his hand a delicately wrapped dark red gift box. Yuelou opened the gift box and was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth.

In the box is a model of a landscape garden, and she can see at a glance that this is her home. The model is vividly carved with corridors, rockeries, stones, courtyards, houses, pools, plants, bamboo forests and so on. There was shallow water in the pool.

Yuelou was surprised: "This is not carved by you, right?"

"Of course not. If I could carve something like this, I wouldn't be a servant here. ”

Yuelou smiled and said, "If you think that the salary here is low, I can raise it for you! ”

The manservant waved his hand and said, "No, that's not what I meant. You've taken good care of us, how dare we ask for more?"

Yuelou put down his sweater, walked over, looked at him sincerely and said, "It's okay, I'll give you a triple salary increase this month." Eh, who carved this?"

The manservant wanted to kneel down for Yuelou, but when he thought that she hated the servant kneeling the most, he said gratefully: "This is the 'Eagle King Zhao' in the southern suburbs." It is said that his carving is several times better than the craftsmanship of Li Qilan, the first craftsman in Beijing. He is probably the only one in China who can carve such a thing. ”

Yuelou racked her brains, but she couldn't remember that there was such a person in Xi'an.

The manservant seemed to see Yuelou's thoughts, and hurriedly continued: "Now that the city of Nanjing is broken, he fled across the river. ”

Yuelou groaned: "Oh, Nanjing Hidden Dragon Crouching Tiger, it's not strange that there are one or two such people. ”

After the valet left, she fell into deep thought: "Since ancient times, China has been stronger than most countries in the world in terms of economy, politics, military, and culture, so why is it in turmoil now?"

In fact, she has been thinking about this question since she was a teenager. After so many years, she has summed up the answer:

"The history of mankind can be divided into different phases. Clan society, feudal society, and capitalist society are undoubtedly included. 'Chinese civilization' can be simply understood as 'the civilization of feudal society'. In the era of Huang Yan and Xia Shang, how many civilizations were there in China?

The Han and Tang dynasties were the heyday of feudal society, which was equivalent to a person reaching middle age, and his intelligence and physical strength were at the most abundant in his life. Since the Tang Dynasty, feudal society has been in decline. Isn't the establishment of the capital of the ethnic minorities in the Central Plains an example of this decline? By the middle and late Qing Dynasty, China had become a gray-haired old man.

How could an old man with a weak body, weak limbs, and sick be an opponent of the newly emerging capitalist countries such as Britain, the United States, and Japan?

Since the Meiji Restoration, Japan has been able to become the "largest power in Asia" and an advanced country in the world precisely because it has not had a long civilization. The longer the civilization, the more the society, the system, and the culture will accumulate dirt. It will inevitably take an extremely long time for such a China to change itself and adapt to the modern world. This time will be at least two or three hundred years.

Obviously, the turbulent and strong modern world will not give China such a long time, so China will be ravaged, so there will inevitably be the Opium War, the invasion of China by the Eight-Nation Alliance, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Republic of China, the Japanese invasion of China, and so on and so forth. ”

Isn't this exactly the number of lives that can't be changed?

Thinking of this, Yuelou couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Just then, the door was pushed open again. A skinny, middle-aged woman with prominent cheekbones walked in. She didn't bring anything, and her brow was full of sadness.

As soon as he saw her, Yuelou immediately greeted her. She is the one who Yuelou often helps. The woman had three sons, but one of them had mental problems.

Yuelou helped her to sit on the chair. When the woman saw the table full of gifts, she was surprised and said, "Why are so many people sending gifts before the child is born?"

Yuelou held her hand and said with a smile, "Sister, today is my birthday!"

The woman lost color and said, "I really damn it! I don't even know such an important thing!"

Yuelou comforted her and said, "It's normal for you to be so busy all day, and you don't know." ”

The woman lowered her head, tears already dripping on the table, and said, "I'll prepare a gift when I get back." ”

Yuelou didn't stop her: "It's okay like this." But remember to come early in the evening, there are a lot of activities at home. ”

"Well, I'll definitely come sooner." The woman's eyes were sincere.

After the greetings, Yuelou said softly: "If you have any difficulties, please tell me, I will do my best to help you." ”

The woman burst into tears: "My eldest son slashed a girl's thigh in a mental hospital, and the wound was deep and bone-piercing. I don't have a penny, but what can I do?"

Yuelou took the wallet from behind the screen, took out a 20,000 yuan bill, handed it to her, and said in a more gentle voice: "This money should be enough." If it's not enough, you can get it again. ”

The woman knelt on the ground with a plop, wiped her tears with her hands, and said, "Thank you." If it weren't for you, I might have killed my son with my own hands. ”

Yuelou helped her up and said, "This money is a lot for you, but it is smaller than sesame seeds to me, so you don't need to thank you at all." ”

The woman knew she was relieved of herself. She could tell at a glance that Yuelou's clothes were very cheap and the furniture was not expensive. She said, "I'm leaving." You should walk around more often and never be bored in your room. ”

Yuelou smiled bitterly: "I also hate being stuffy in the house! ”

The woman smiled, "They are also good for you." ”

It was snowing lightly outside. The woman walked in the wind and snow, and her body became weaker and thinner. Yuelou looked at her, and the tears she endured finally fell like a curtain of rain.

Yuelou held a red umbrella and walked into the snow with a cane.

The winter in the north is bleak and desolate, while the winter in the south is warm and vibrant. Xi'an is neither north nor south, so there is no bleakness in the north, but there is no vitality in the south.

The moon tower walks on the path. The leaves of magnolias, white magnolias, and pines and cypresses are covered with snow, and they look as lively and cute as children wearing white felt hats. She tapped the branch of Magnolia with her cane, and the snow flakes fell. She didn't know why she did this, maybe it was because she was bored after living away for a long time, right?

Entering the corridor, Yuelou put down the umbrella. Looking at the small lake covered with snow, she secretly wondered, "I don't know what happened to the fish in the lake? They haven't eaten for so long, can't they be starving to death?" Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel deeply sad.

Why is the world so bleak? Is it really an unchangeable fate?

The longer a person lives, the more he can feel the helplessness and sorrow of life. Yuelou is like this, Congshan is like this, why aren't we like this?

She continued walking, and in a short time she had reached the bridge. After a moment of contemplation, she began to draw butterflies on the snow with her cane. I saw that her long hair was fluttering, her eyes were bright, and the whole person looked elegant and strong.

She was writing 'Cherish Butterfly' next to the portrait when she suddenly heard the sound of footsteps coming from behind her. Without looking back, she already knew it was the sound of Congshan's footsteps.

Congshan walked over, hugged Yuelou, and covered her eyes. Yuelou smiled and said, "Don't make trouble! How do you see my painting?"

Congshan was surprised: "How do you know it's me?"

Yuelou scolded lightly: "Didn't we meet yesterday?"

Congshan suddenly felt warmth. If a person can distinguish your footsteps, it is always warm. He looked at Xidie and muttered, "You draw very well, but why are her eyes a little manly?"

Yuelou groaned slightly and said, "It's always good for a woman to be strong." I don't want our lovely women to be bullied. ”

Congshan thought of Mengci's weakness and said, "Yes, then let's educate our daughter to be stronger!"

"That's natural," Yuelou said with a smile, "Can you, a big man, know better than me how to educate girls?"
