The bookworm that flashed into the forest never came back, and Su Musha, who had entered the bamboo forest twice, withdrew, leaving only Liu Ning alone. He was full of worries and had no way to put his head on it, so he had to walk around the academy again and again, until he was sweating profusely and then went back to his room to take a bath and rest.

Speaking of Su Musha, after she left the Four Sects, she returned to the guest and host of the guest and host, and did not see the return of the bookworm until the afternoon.

"Worm Uncle, where have you been?" Su Mu hurriedly greeted him and asked, "Who did you see?" But did you see that disciple of Yanxia Villa? ”

"Huh?"

The bookworm was obviously absent-minded, came back to his senses after listening to her question, and nodded: "Yes." It's a pity that I didn't catch it. ”

Su Mu's eyes flashed: "Is there an accident, if something happens, don't hide it from me." ”

However, in a few breaths, the bookworm had already regained his previous calm and self-contained appearance: "Don't worry, it's okay, it's you, can you think about how to negotiate with Lord Lin?" ”

"Don't worry, it's okay, I've thought it all out."

Su Musha's tone was a little hard, she could see that the bookworm had something on her mind, but she didn't seem to want to confide in her. Although she didn't want to be difficult, she was inevitably a little disappointed, so she unconsciously replied.

As soon as the words came out, she felt a little embarrassed, but who knew that the bookworm still had a joyless and sad attitude, and only said: "It's good if you have a number." ”

Seeing him like this, Su Musha really lost her temper, she formed a small ball in her hand and kneaded it, which was a bad habit when she was upset.

"There is only your name on the post under the Lin Mansion, and I can't go with you."

Su Musha heard the worry in her words, and the loss she had turned into ironing, she slowly stopped what she was doing: "Don't worry, I will be cautious in my words and deeds," she whispered again, as if she was talking to others, and as if she was talking to herself, "There is nothing to be afraid of." ”

……………………

"The day Lord Lin took a break from his home, it happened to be the Midyear Festival." Su Musha leaned against the window and watched the sunset in the sky. casually chatted with the bookworm.

The bookworm who was transcribing the gift list by himself did not raise his head and replied, "Yes?"

"Uncle Worm, do you have any relatives to worship?"

The pen in the bookworm's hand froze, and the bean-sized ink stained the gift list. He frowned slightly, then changed the paper and rewrote, and said in his mouth: "What about you?" ”

Su Musha thought for a moment. said: "My father, my mother, maybe there are some elders on the side," she took the bookworm's scrapped gift list, and started the group again. "But I don't know my father's surname, I don't know where my mother is buried, and I don't know that there are no relatives in the clan. The Su family is my foreign family, and women are not allowed to go to the ancestral grave or ancestral hall. ”

The bookworm listened intently, and did not interrupt her, leaving her to recall.

"When I was a child, I would use some gold and silver foil paper to fold some ingots or something, but I don't know if my father and mother can receive it after burning, but I have to burn a large handful as usual every year.

When it's a little older, hearsay. When I said that I wanted to burn my clothes for my parents, I collected all my clothes and set a fire, and the fire was so fierce that it burned my eyebrows and hair at once.

At that time, someone told me that the fire would be prosperous in the coming year, of course, I didn't prosper, most of the clothes were burned out, and I could only wear two sets upside down.

My cousins and cousins would also get together to carve the 'cucumber boat'. But it wasn't for the sake of putting the lanterns, it was incinerated with the bag, but I didn't try it, and I didn't let it go......"

The girl's voice slowly flowed in this quiet afternoon. This kind of "can't find the grave when you go to the grave" is not desolate when she talks about it, but it adds a little nostalgia for the childhood scene.

When Su Musha returned to his room that night, he found a neatly cut stack of gold and silver foil on the table, and two green and beautiful cucumbers were placed next to them.

……………………

On the day of the Midyear Festival, the weather was extremely sunny, and every household in the city hung the fullest ears of rice. Pray for a good year in the coming year.

Su Musha's hometown did not have this kind of custom, but she also placed a few handfuls of rice ears in the inn room, and even got a brazier, and burned the gold and silver ingots she stacked last night.

The day passed quickly, Su Musha counted the time, took the gift box and sat in the carriage hired in advance, and shook all the way to the location of the Lin Mansion on Vermilion Bird Street in Beicheng.

Outside the front hall, Su Musha stood still, and the little girl who led the way said to her with a smile: "The old lady has ordered, let the little one invite the girl to the inner courtyard study." Su Musha heard this, and then stepped into the interior again.

After passing one door, two gates, three gates, and the hanging flower gate, the guide has changed from a small maid to a little maid. When I finally got to the garden of the inner courtyard, I heard a man say, "Miss, Miss, come down quickly." ”

Su Musha took two steps closer, and saw Lin Yulin sitting on the high rockery at a glance, his legs swinging one by one, and he was smiling to himself and talking to the maid at the foot of the mountain.

Seeing Su Musha coming, Lin Yulin jumped lightly and flew down in front of her: "Sister Su." You're here," she said, taking her arm and saying affectionately, "thank you for sending the happy spider on the night of the begging festival, how did you get it, the cobwebs that grew overnight were so big and dense, and none of the other people's happy spiders woven their webs better than it." ”

"Of course, I said early in the morning, I'm going to win this thing."

Su Musha smiled, she didn't tell Lin Yulin, in fact, she played a very simple trick, but she ordered a little white green silk on the edge of the box where the spider was placed, and forced the spider to weave a web to defend itself with the momentum of the white emperor.

Today's Lin Yulin is dressed very neatly, and she no longer wears the complicated clothes that she dragged before, according to her own explanation, because she has to burn paper in the morning, she is afraid that if she is not careful, her clothes will be burned out of the sparks one by one.

"It's not the first time this kind of thing has happened, according to my opinion, the clothes that were burned out in previous years should be kept, and worn every year when the paper is burned, so that it will not be wasted."

Lin Yulin held Su Musha and chattered non-stop, Su Musha listened to it with affection, and couldn't help but tell a few stories that were appropriate to the situation. She has no sisters, and she has never had the opportunity to get close to people through such trivial things.

Lin Yulin and Su Musha talked all the way, occasionally laughing at the maid who followed her, and then asked her to bring some pastries: "What do you want, I rarely have friends to come, you have to help me save face, go and get some delicious food, if it is soft and easy to restrain yourself, take a little more." Brew a pot of the herbal tea you made two days ago. And ......"

He Qiu blushed and said, "Miss, these slaves and maids can be saved," she said softly, "There is already a good Chuanqing in the pantry, and the slaves and maids will order someone to take them to the old lady's study." ”

As she spoke, she peeked at Su Musha's reaction, and was relieved to see that her demeanor was as usual.

(Diary of the heroine 73, July 5, Midyear Festival, saying that the cucumber boat is purely a pit man's thing, after entering the brazier, a handful of ashes was stirred, and then the flames were half extinguished, and he didn't touch the sparks for half a day, I really don't know how the cousins burned in previous years.)
