Chapter 5: Hawthorn
The autumn sun sprinkled the courtyard warmly, and the maple tree in the corner of the small courtyard dropped a few leaves in the autumn wind, and the leaves swirled and floated to the bright fat wild chrysanthemum bushes and rolled twice, and finally stuck into the wild chrysanthemum branches.

Liu Ya, who took a bath and changed into new clothes, was carried out of the house by Song's mother, and Liu Ya squinted uncomfortably at the bright sunlight in the courtyard.
Mother Song put out her free left hand and put a canopy on Liu Ya's forehead, blocking the oncoming light for her, and said with a smile, "Sister, it's okay today, do you miss your wife?" Shall you go and say hello to your wife? ”
Liu Ya nodded, turned around and looked at the gourd arch in the corner of the courtyard.
Is it to meet her mother? The old woman who was always wearing a monk's robe, hanging Buddhist beads, and chanting sutras non-stop. The mother who never spoke to her.
A trace of hatred appeared in Liu Ya's heart, and it turned into sad sadness in an instant.
She hated it for more than ten years, and in the past ten years, she hated many people in turn, hated them for being ruthless and unjust, hated them for not saving them when they saw death, and hated them for letting her live a miserable and desolate life.
But a few years before she died, she slowly stopped hating. At that time, she was so sick that she could only lie in bed every day, drinking decoctions that were drier than bile every day. At that time, she thought that maybe what she suffered was to pay off the debt she owed in her previous life, and when she paid off the debt, she would be able to reincarnate in the next life and live a good life again.
She died, and she was not reincarnated in the next life, but returned to this life. She has already lived miserably once, this time, she must not be slaughtered again, cowardly life, she has to live a good life again.
Liu Ya tightened her little hand at the corner of her clothes, and quietly rubbed the thin sweat oozing from her palms on the edge of her clothes.
At this time, Mother Song had already turned the gourd arch with Liu Ya in her arms and entered the adjacent side yard.
A tall girl in the yard was cleaning the yard, she saw Mother Song from a distance, squinted and smiled, and said, "Mom wants to see Mrs." My wife went to the Great Buddha Hall to listen to the master's lectures, which went for several days in a row, and she couldn't come back until the sun set every day. Mom came over and went to the teahouse to drink tea, I still have some dried fruits there, which my brother sent a few days ago, Mom went to taste it. ”
While talking, the girl reached out and hugged Liu Ya, and led Song's mother to the side house.
This girl recognized by Liu Ya is Qiu Ju, the big girl next to her mother Peng. Peng's has always kept only two people to serve, one is Zhou's mother who is married, and the other is this spicy Qiu Ju.
Liu Ya remembered this girl, or because when she was given away by her uncle, her uncle mentioned Qiu Ju.
"The nobles in the capital have taken a fancy to you as your blessing, and I sent you over today so that you can enjoy the blessings and know how to cherish the blessings. I will take care of your mother for you, and if she wants to go to Baiyun Nunnery, I will send her back, and I will not stop the worship in the nunnery. ”
The man standing in the shadows took a sip of tea, knocked the teacup on the mahogany table in his hand, and continued fiercely.
"But there is one thing, if you learn from Qiu Ju next to your mother, for what chastity, fame, etc., you have to die to show others, then you don't think that your mother can see the sun for one more day than you. As long as you can see, your mother will be able to see, never one more day, never one day less. ”
At that time, the Liu family had already fallen, in order to revive the Liu family, my uncle stammered and gave gifts everywhere, at first he was just a girl in the house, and then he began to give the daughter of the family, but I don't know who he gave it to later?
It's all the same, what's the difference between a girl and a lady, it's just a plaything.
Liu Ya felt a trace of sympathy for Qiu Ju.
She pulled Qiu Ju's sleeve and said sweetly, "Sister's dried fruit, I want to eat it too." ”
Qiu Ju opened her mouth in surprise and didn't answer for a long time.
Mother Song laughed on the side, pointed her index finger at Qiu Ju's forehead and said, "You still don't go to get dried fruits for your sister, why didn't you hear your sister's words." ”
Qiu Ju came back to her senses, and said happily to Mother Song, "Miss can really speak, thank God, Bodhisattva bless, I always thought that Miss was dumb, this is five years old, Miss has never spoken." ”
As soon as Mother Song heard Qiu Ju's words, her heart became sour. Pulling back Liu Ya from Qiu Ju's arms, he said unceremoniously, "Sister can always speak, but she doesn't say much, your brain cramps can't be, I don't follow this nonsense in front of my sister." ”
Qiu Ju saw the unhappiness on Song's mother's face, she knew that she had said the wrong thing, but now she was ridiculed again, and she hurriedly apologized, "Mom, I said something wrong, I will compensate you for this." ”
After apologizing, he hurriedly coaxed Liu Ya and said, "Is Miss thirsty?" Freshly made Qiu Ju tea, do you want to try it? I still have some wild fruits here, I just sneaked to the back mountain to pick them, but they are sweet, do you want to eat them? ”
Liu Yale smiled and replied, "I want to eat dried fruits, I want to drink tea, and I also want to eat wild fruits, I'm hungry." ”
Mother Song was angry, stared at Qiu Ju and said, "Don't go quickly, I didn't hear my sister's words, bring more and pick it for my sister." ”
Qiu Ju smiled and agreed, turned around and busily went to prepare food.
Mother Song put Liu Ya on the small stool next to the tea stove in the side room, turned around and was busy picking the charcoal on the stove, and boiling water to make tea again.
Liu Ya couldn't sit still, moved her little buttocks, and quietly moved the low stool to the door.
Qiu Ju quickly ran back, saw Liu Ya by the door, squatted down with a smile, opened the veil with wild fruits, stared at Liu Ya's dark eyes, and asked, "Miss, this is a berry, the mountains are full of autumn and sweet, do you want to eat one and try it?" ”
The red fruit, only the size of a finger, has a somewhat uneven skin that looks like a shrunken hawthorn.
Thinking of hawthorn, Liu Ya's teeth were a little astringent and sour.
When she was first sent to the capital, her diet was not adjusted, she had no appetite for anything, and her originally slightly chubby body was starving in less than a month.
The waiter tried to get her food, but she just couldn't eat it.
The doctors who came to see the doctor even this one, each doctor said, it's okay, you don't need to take medicine, it's good to have an appetizer, eat more hawthorn to appetize, and if you can eat, it's fine.
But looking at the shriveled hawthorn, she couldn't eat it, and if she couldn't eat the hawthorn, she naturally couldn't appetize.
Later, I don't know where the man got the fresh hawthorn fruit, the red fluttering fruit looked festive, she tasted one, thought it was good, ate it slowly, and then slowly appetized.
The diet is slowly getting better.
Although I couldn't get fat anymore, at least my body was better.
