I woke up from my sleep, it was already early in the morning, and I still remember last night's qiē, as if I woke up in the middle of the night and saw a ghost in the yard, and when I came out to check, I saw a terrifying grimace, and then I fainted.

But now that I'm in bed, who got me back to my room, and where did the ghost go? I felt like I had gone back in time, as if it had just happened yesterday. I raised my hand and wiped it on my face, it was wet, and it seemed that I was crying again!

It's been three years since he's gone, and three years have been like a dream, and this dream has been done for too long, too long.

I looked up out the window, and on a summer morning, when the sky was still just dark, the roosters in the village would crow, and soon I heard the barking of dogs and the crowing of roosters in the village.

I simply cleaned myself up, pushed open the door, the old wooden door creaked, and I walked out.

It is a dilapidated mud house surrounded by a row of bamboo fences. Inside the courtyard wall is a small courtyard, although it is a little dilapidated, but it is neatly cleaned up.

A small stone table was set up in the courtyard, and two tree stumps were placed on either side as stools. At the east end of the courtyard, a tall old locust tree with dense branches and leaves almost obscures the entire small courtyard and makes the small courtyard show a trace of depth.

I pulled up the coop and drove the chickens out, then went to the kitchen in the side room, opened the door, and washed my face with cold water. After washing my face and rinsing my mouth, I rolled up my sleeves and measured the rice, scooped it from the water tank, washed it, put the rice into the cauldron, and started to burn the fire, which also started the busy day.

It didn't take long for the sky to light up completely, and from time to time someone passed by the door, and there was a heavy footstep sound, which was the sound of the village men carrying farm tools to work in the fields.

After cooking the meal, I went to the courtyard as usual, opened the bamboo fence gate, and looked out towards the path at the entrance of the village that stretched out of the village.

"Little Lei girl, are you watching your man come back again?"

At this time, the courtyard door next to it also opened, and an old woman came out and said to me, "Don't look any further, your man is not coming back!" ”

I just turned around, smiled bitterly at her, didn't speak, closed the fence door a little lonely, and went back to my room.

This is the root aunt next door, she usually takes good care of me, although Fang Cai's words are not listened to, but I don't blame her, she is a straightforward woman, and she has no ill will towards me.

When Aunt Gen saw me go back, she sighed and said, "Evil, ......", closed the courtyard door, and went back to the house.

At this time, a slightly old male voice sounded in the room, "Old woman, what do you care about her!" "This is Uncle Gen.

"I see her pitiful, within a few months of marriage, the man in the family went out of the mountains and went to the city to work, this is three years, there is no news, I don't know whether she is dead or alive, this good girl's family, just like this, is a widow, alas......"

Aunt Gen's voice was not loud, although it was separated by a courtyard wall, but it still reached my ears, and I just smiled, obviously I heard too many words like this, it was already a little troublesome, and it didn't matter.

I was busy in the yard, grabbing a handful of rice bran and feeding the chickens, and then I started cleaning the yard, even though it looked very clean.

It was nearly noon, and I was drying my freshly washed laundry in the yard.

I only heard a young male voice sound, "Excuse me, does Miss Hua Banlei live here?" ”

I hurriedly turned around, and saw a young man in a coarse cloth robe, carrying a burden on his back, looking like a dusty man, obviously having walked a long way, standing outside the courtyard gate, looking inside.

I walked over, opened the fence door, and said a little shyly, "Yes, I am, may I ask who you are?" ”

When the young man saw her, he saw that she was slender, plain and elegant, not very old, about twenty years old, with light hair, cloth and plain skirts, although the clothes were old, but the whole body was clean and tidy, her hair was combed neatly, and she looked neat, which made people feel like a spring breeze.

The young man showed a friendly smile, "Hello, Miss Banlei, I am a friend Luo Hongxuan met while working in the city, my name is Ji Minghui, and you call me Ah Hui." ”

"Ah, hello, please come in."

I was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly opened the fence door to let the guests in.

The guests sat down in the courtyard, and they hurriedly went into the house and took out the teapot and tea bowl, poured the tea, and then sat down.

"Please drink tea, there is no good tea in the mountains, this is this year's new tea produced by home, you can taste it."

Ji Minghui saw me sit down, took a sip of the tea I handed over, and said with some hesitation: "Miss Banlei, it was Hongxuan who asked me to come over and bring a message." ”

"What message? Why didn't he come back with you? I asked a little anxiously.

"You listen to me slowly first," Ji Minghui saw that I was in a hurry, took another sip of water, and said, "Hongxuan and I are both subordinates in the Liang Mansion in Hangcheng. Three years ago, we entered the Liang Mansion together, and Hongxuan always wanted to come back to have a look, but the Liang Mansion stipulated that he was not allowed to leave the mansion without the permission of the eldest master, and Hongxuan never left the He Mansion. ”

When Ji Minghui said this, he looked at me who was sitting quietly opposite, and saw that my face was calm and full of expectation, so he continued to say: "For three years, we have been in the Liang Mansion, Hongxuan is diligent and honest, smart and clever, and he is quite liked by the Lord of the Liang Mansion, and he has been keeping it by his side to listen to it, and he has never had to go home to see it until last ......month."

Ji Minghui paused, didn't say any more, but looked at me, a little like he wanted to say something.

"What happened last month?" I asked anxiously, it's rare to have news of Luo Hongxuan, why am I not in a hurry!

"Last month, Hong Xuan went out of the house with the eldest master, and a few days later, he fell ill when he came back, this illness is several days, and the eldest master also instructed the chief manager to invite the doctor, but after the doctor saw it, he said that he had returned to the sky and had no skills, so he prepared for the future, and within a few days, Hong Xuan went."

"What?" I stood up in shock, with a face full of disbelief, "You mean my husband, he's dead?!" No way, you lied to me, how is this possible?! ”

Ji Minghui also stood up, "Miss Banlei, this is true, please believe me,"

As he spoke, he untied his baggage and took out a small cloth bag and a white jar.

First, he pushed the cloth bag to me and said, "This is a relic left by Hongxuan, and there is also his salary for three years given by the Liang Mansion." ”

Then he pushed the jar over, "This is Hongxuan's ashes." Before Hong Xuan left, he told me that I must send his ashes home, and he said that he was sorry for you, let you marry, and didn't give you a good day. Let you stop waiting for him, let's remarry after a while! ”
