Alas, everyone says that immortals are good, and sacrificing oneself to seek immortals like Cao Tang is actually a blessing in life! "The trees enter the rooftop stone road is new, and the clouds and grass are quiet and dust-free. Yanxia is unconscious of the past events, and Mizuki is suspicious of his dreams. Cao Tang traveled to the famous mountains and rivers all his life, looking for immortals and visiting the Tao, and finally indulged in fairyland, dreams and could not extricate himself, after making the poem of "Liu Chen Ruan Zhao Visiting the Tiantai", he rushed all the way to Tiantai Mountain Fairy Cave to live for a night, but it is a pity that "there is a lonely spring in the cave, there is no road in the world, and the moon is boundless", between long and short sighs, he suddenly saw two fairies with graceful demeanor, plain clothes and slow steps, and his poems were whispering in his mouth. Cao Tang was overjoyed, hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, greeted more than a dozen steps, but did not see the trace of the two fairies, for a while his heart was shaken, dizzy, a few days later, the dream of the soul thought, depressed and ended, leaving a good story in the world for future generations. If I also stayed on the rooftop at night at that time, and the fairy descended to see me, I would also take care of each other, ask for each other, and pass away with the fairy......

I can see the mouth of the barn.

Du Ruo gritted his teeth, put the rice he was carrying on his shoulders against the tree, supported the trunk with both hands to take a breath, and a large pool of blood oozed from the place where his shoulder blades were worn by the wash. This is the thirteenth rice he picked, it is the summer double rush season, there is no wind in the col, the heat wave is coming, the afternoon sun is still blazing the mountains, and the river is shining with colorful light. Since getting up in the morning and rushing to Honglian's house at dawn, Du Ruo did not stop, cut a morning's rice, ploughed the field all morning, only gnawed two steamed buns at the edge of the field at noon, fell in the shade of the tree and squinted his eyes for a while, and began to pick rice after noon. Red Lotus's father still had an angry iron face, and he didn't glance at him when he went in and out; Red Lotus's mother also screamed in response, with a tone that the boss was not happy with; Honglian is even more ignorant of it, and she doesn't even say a word. Since playing Honglian and giving up the college entrance examination, he quietly returned home from the town, Du Ruo did not receive telegrams, did not reply to letters, did not answer long-distance calls from the post office, and hid several times when he came to the door. Seeing that the red lotus was like a serious illness, Du Ruo panicked like grass growing in his heart; Seeing that the red lotus seemed to have changed her surname and was lonely, Du Ruo's head was like a grinding plate, and she was restless; When Du Ruo heard that Honglian's family planted more than a dozen acres of rice, just as he was rushing to harvest and plant, Honglian worked all night, and lost a layer of skin in the sun, so tired that he couldn't straighten his waist for a few days. Du Ruo became a bitter person carved by Coptis chinensis, regretted all his intestines, asked for leave overnight, uninvited, and sent a stuffy donkey with a strong surname, unable to drive away, and picked up the sickle without a sound and followed the red lotus to cut the rice......

Du Ruo remembered that it was July when the sun was scorching and the sky was scorching. As soon as the sky was bright, Du Ruo walked more than ten miles of mountain roads to the rented hut of Red Lotus in the town. That day was the day when Honglian took the college entrance examination, since the closure of the store in Shenzhen, Honglian and her mother rented a house in the town, while listening to the repetition class of the town's middle school, while reviewing at home to meet the college entrance examination. Du Ruo bought back breakfast, cooked a few side dishes, and put them on the table steamingly. However, Honglian didn't listen to the first shout, didn't hear the second shout, didn't hear the third shout, and didn't see anyone when she shouted, and Honglian's mother knocked on the door several times and didn't see any movement. Du Ruo was stunned in his heart, and squeezed the ** door hard, and saw the red lotus sitting on the ** with her hair scattered, her eyes red and swollen like a bee sting, and her face was full of tears. Two months ago, Du Ruo saw that the situation was not right, he lost his appetite well, vomited all the time, was sleepy, and fell asleep on the desk for a long time; has also grown in temper, and she is so picky when she encounters trouble, she gets angry at her mother at every turn, and closes the door and ignores people when Du Ruo is off duty.

"Get out, you all go out, I don't have to worry about my business!" Honglian's mother was angry, and slammed the door and walked out. Du Ruo didn't leave, nor did he stay, his mind became a pot of porridge, and his face was even more faint with smoke and thick fog.

"You go out too, I don't want to see you, it's all your fault!" Honglian pulled down her face, shouted hysterically, grabbed the book at the head of the bed and smashed it at him, then turned over and lay on the pillow, crying with tears in her eyes.

"Red Lotus, what's the matter, can you come back and talk about it? If you miss today's exam, you will have to delay it for another year! Du Ruo shrugged his shoulders, showing an incomprehensible expression, and walked lightly to the bed while carefully picking up the book.

"What kind of test, you are like this, do you still have the face to take the test, and you don't have the face to go to the test!" Honglian angrily threw away the pillow, twisted her tear-filled face, and cried even more.

"Okay, it's all my fault, if you still don't understand the hatred, slap me in the face, okay? It's okay to stab me! Don't you look forward to this day when you think about it, you have survived so much for this day, and you have endured so much hardship, how can you retreat at a critical juncture! Du Ruo's face was innocent, he was in a dilemma, and his mind was filled with a mess that he couldn't hold and couldn't figure out.

"What time is it?" Honglian suddenly raised her head, her attitude softened slightly, and she glanced at the faintly bright sky outside the window with tears in her eyes.

"It's almost six o'clock, it's still too late, you wash your face, I'll run on your back, and rush to the exam room before hitting the preparation bell, it should be no problem!" Du Ruo breathed a sigh of relief and flew over the clothes.

Honglian got up from ** in a hurry, put on her clothes in a panic, Du Ruo hurriedly pretended to be early, filled a bottle of soy milk, waited for Honglian to emerge from the bathroom, took the exam equipment that her mother urgently held in her hand, quickly picked up Honglian and ran to the town middle school test center across the road.

"Brother Ruo, let me go, I have something to tell you!" The red lotus suddenly stretched out her head, and her eyes flashed with shame.

"Can you take the college entrance examination first? After the exam, I will accompany you for three days and three nights, how many things I can't finish! Du Ruo didn't dare to slow down at all, but grabbed the red lotus more tightly with both hands.

"No, I have to say it now, otherwise I won't go to study if I pass the exam!" Honglian twisted her body, straightened her waist, and kept pounding his shoulders with her angry hands.

"Okay, you're really a bull, you have to follow your surname in everything, and you won't listen to a word of what I say!" Du Ruo stood up panting, unbuttoning his collar to wipe the sweat from his neck.

Honglian handed over the handkerchief, grabbed it in her hand, wiped her sweat without a partner, her cheeks were flushed with red tide, and she pressed her soft voice against the root of his ear, "I'm pregnant, it's all your fault, I don't want to go to college, I want to give birth to a child!" ”

"Really, no, we just have **, God just favors me like this!" Du Ruo was overjoyed, hugged Honglian, stretched out his mouth and imprinted a big kiss mark on her shy face, but after a while, he put his hands on Honglian's shoulders again, and looked at Honglian's shy eyes with a very firm attitude, "No, I can't ruin your life like this, you go to college and get rid of the fetus, as long as you don't say break up, I'll wait for you for four years, although I'm almost thirty years old, I just want to get married early, but I can't be so selfish and sprinkle a bunch of on my nose, I can't say it in my conscience, when you are admitted to the university, assigned a job, and we get married in a beautiful way, so that you have more face, and your parents will not disown me as a son-in-law, do you think this is okay? ”

Honglian's complexion changed, and her tenderness plummeted, and she couldn't help but turn around and walk away a few steps, "No, this is my child, if you say you will beat it, I can feel his existence all the time, I am **, I would rather be a country woman for a lifetime, eat bran vegetables for a lifetime, and give birth to him and raise him**!" ”

Du Ruo rushed forward, his face was red with embarrassment, and he was afraid that she would not listen to the words for a while, and he was afraid that she would only be the helplessness of the wind in his heart, "Are you reading the book or taking the wrong medicine, why don't you understand physiological hygiene at all!" He's just an embryo, you don't know if it's male or female, and you're going to give birth to him desperately. Is this worthy of your parents, the old man has pulled you up, and you haven't enjoyed it for a day, and if you don't get a little bit of it, you will have to live your own little life; Is this worthy of me, for you to be admitted to college, the store will not open, the money will not be made, and the hot face will go to the cold ** of other people's homes; As a result, we were all thrown into the ice cave with a grunt, and we were not allowed to bubble a single one! Red Lotus, please, listen to me, hurry up! I can dig out my heart for you, and I won't harm you! After the exam, you can do whatever you want! Heaven, I'll move you a ladder; Go to the sea, I'll rub the rope for you! Stop being a child, it's too late! ”

"You did everything, but now you are relying on me, you are still a man! I think you want the beauties in the city to go crazy, and think I'm just a little girl in the countryside, dare to do it! Honglian glared fiercely, pouting angrily, and her strong words were aggressive.

"Look, the more you talk about it, the more childish it becomes, if you want to marry me and give birth to a child, I will dream of you as Guanyin Bodhisattva in my heart, and I will say half a word! You are the grandmother of our Du family's descendants for generations, and the blessing that our Du family's ancestors burned incense and kowtowed in front of the Buddha! But people live with a face, trees live with a skin, you must always be a little like an unmarried girl, you must always save a little face for your five relatives and six dependents, and you must always make your parents have a little dignity in front of your relatives and friends! I want you to marry me, I want you to be happy and be a decent bride, not to be a little woman who is not loved by parents, disliked by relatives and friends, and is not welcomed wherever you go! Du Ruo couldn't persuade him repeatedly, his eyes were full of sparks, and the sorrow of not being able to say a way up was endless like a fountain.

"It's not on you, you don't know the pain! I don't care, anyway, I won't take the test, whoever wants to chew the tongue, let him chew it, there are always no two tongues in one mouth, and the sky can't fall! You hurry up and find a way to beg your parents, if you don't come and don't see me, I am going to make a decision on this child, and I will give birth to him if I break the dishes and bowls, and I will marry him again with the child! Honglian sneered, her face stubbornly raised, and every word of her unturned words was full of backbone.

"Red Lotus, shall we take a walk? If you don't go to college, you don't want to decide if your child wants to! Don't be a stubborn headshot, needles can't be pricked, water can't be splashed! Think about it, for a non-** embryo, you have to give up the college entrance examination, you can't get out of the mountains in any life, you can't enter the city, how to change your life, change your fate! Don't have to get a mountain-like gossip on your head, you will never be able to get rid of this village life of sauerkraut and vinegar, how can you still have the dignity of being a human being and the fun of starting a family! You go to the test first, whether it is successful or not, it is an explanation for everyone, maybe you really get in, and you will get a notice to anger me! When you get there, if you really love me and want to give birth to a child, can't you still take a break from school, let's go, I'll run quickly, it's still too late! Du Ruo was helpless, and a nameless fire suddenly rose in his heart, and he couldn't tell whether it was indignation or resentment, but he felt that the heat was scorching, and the whole person seemed to be in a hurry for a while.

"Who loves you, wipe the ** in my ears, put gold on my face, and pretend that a belly of books will not be of any use!" Honglian stretched her face, with a shrewd scolding the street, and thought that he was in such a hurry to get angry because he was taking care of his face, for himself to have a good future, and to be able to get rid of the bitterness of not being able to get rid of these two legs in the mountains, so his heart softened, and he let go of the hard look on his face, and sighed with love and hate, "If brother, look at you in a hurry, I won't go to the exam, although it is for this child, but most of it is for you." If you don't have a home again, there is a woman next to you who knows the pain and heat, she can't paint, she can't go to class, and the ** of ten will collapse! I figured it out a long time ago, so I followed you through the mountains and modeled for you! You draw well, you work hard, and you have suffered so much. In the past year, for me, I don't even want a job, I earn money to go to college, I don't know how to run for my future, leaving you alone in the mountains, what kind of person am I lacking heart and lungs? Besides, the last university may not be promising, and we people in the mountains have no backer to rely on, so we have worked hard for four years, and we don't know which mountain to go to after graduation. Isn't the beauty of your city just a college student, and in the end it's not a city where you can get married! You just need to listen to me, paint your pictures with your heart, don't be blind and anxious, the bread will be there, everything will be fine! I have the heart to eat knives, and I have the stomach to digest knives, and I can get in the way of you, an elm lump that can't be split with three axes, really! ”

"Red Lotus, it's time to hit the preparatory bell! If you think about it again, let's go for the test! I will remember your kindness to me for the rest of my life! I'm already infamous, I don't want to spit in the face anymore, after the exam, I will go to your house to ask for marriage, even if I kneel for three days and three nights, I will marry you into the door! Du Ruo was at a loss, and even if he said that his mouth was rotten, he couldn't dissuade Honglian's depression and turned into a wave of resentment in his chest and abdomen, and he couldn't help but sigh and wrinkle his brows.

"No, I said that if I don't take the test, I won't take the test! You go back to work first, I'll go to the house and say, don't go to the house without my words! Now it's a double robbery, I'm very busy, it's okay not to take the exam, and then talk about getting married, don't make my parents dizzy! Red Lotus took a sip, trying to suppress the anger that had accumulated in her heart, and the chagrin that her wish was not understood made her turn her back in a huff.

"When, when, when......" The preparation bell of the examination room rang, and the crisp bell wafted in the wet air of the morning, which seemed extraordinarily loud. Honglian subconsciously pushed Du Ruo away, ran a few steps forward quickly, and suddenly stood up, throwing herself into Du Ruo's arms who were following closely behind, "Brother Ruo, let's go back, Honglian will only stick to you in this life, and death is also your clean daughter's body, what is there if you don't take the college entrance examination?" Look at this, it's like being shot, and if you don't take the test, you won't be able to live! ”

"It's good now, I can't tell if I have a hundred mouths, and I can't tell if I have a thousand eyes! Why am I so devastated, I can't even earn a little face if I want to raise my eyebrows! If you don't take the test, those who know will say that I am blessed, and those who don't know will not know how to slander me! Not to mention that my parents will hate me, my neighbors will also be ** me, and the unit will despise me even more! will say that in order to achieve my personal goals, I am so unscrupulous, and I am so bewitched that the woman doesn't even want a future! Isn't this a clear display of hanging the urine bucket on the eaves, and the right and wrong of the move? Isn't this deliberately throwing the dung tank on the village road, causing trouble? Isn't this the second pole of Du in people's eyes, the Du painter who wants to be crazy about women! And the face can stay in the mountains? And the face in the mountains to carry the drawing board? How to propose! Du Ruo was disappointed, the boredom in his heart became more and more intense, and the inferiority complex that was not as good as others and was even worse than others was even more confusing on his eyebrows.

"You are here full of nonsense, a bear bag soft bones, a leaf falling is afraid of smashing the head, and the frightened are more daring than you!" The red lotus fire didn't fight together, he snorted angrily and pushed Du Ruo away with one palm, dropped a curse scattered in the morning breeze, stepped on the long-lasting loud bell in the examination room, and ran home without looking back.

"Brother Ruo, here are the guests, where are you driving?"

Du Ruo straightened his chest and stiffened his shoulders, but unexpectedly, the punch that picked up more than 100 catties of rice pressed to the place where the shoulder blade was broken, and suddenly the skin and flesh cracked, blood splashed, and a heart-piercing pain made his legs bend and almost fall to the ground. The little sister exclaimed, and the little evil skin and Ren Yan grabbed the rice one left and one right, and when Du Ruo sweated profusely and got out of the chong dan, the little evil skin picked up the rice and ran to the Shanzui grain drying field.

"Little sister, does your sister know about the visitor?" When Du Ruo saw Ren Yan at first glance, his heart seemed to be submerged by the monstrous tide of love, and a stream of blood rushed straight to his head, and he couldn't help but look nervous and look at his little sister in a panic.

"I know, my sister went to the street to buy groceries, and asked you to greet the guests well. If you have a lot of blood on your shoulder, I'll ask my sister to help you call a doctor! After saying that, he babbled and hummed a little song, and jumped all the way to the wall.

"Why are you here!" Du Ruo took a breath, his demeanor easily caressed his beating heart, and his eyes flashed with suspicion and sneaked a peek at Ren Yan.

"Don't move yet, I'll help you stop the bleeding, it's a shame that the wound is infected!" Ren Yan smiled bitterly and shook his head, after many years, he still didn't dare to look at his helplessness into his mind, making her walk a few steps quickly as if she was disgusted, and her mouth was reproachful, "Ouch, the flesh is grinded, and the collar is full of blood, so what do I say about you, until now, I can't cherish myself, and I can't lose my false Taoist thoughts, and this dumbfounded thing has been done!" ”

"Thank you, I haven't seen you for two years, and you can make fun of my habits when you meet, haven't they changed at all!" Du Ruo lowered his head to support the trunk of the tree, and suddenly felt that half of his body was numb, and the wound on his shoulder was painful.

"Don't move while you're standing, I'll pick some herbs, it's not just blood, it's going to kill you!"

Du Ruo's eyes were hot, and an indescribable nostalgia poured into his heart, and a huge cloud suddenly crossed the present. Look at Ren Yan climbing the branches of the trees to climb the cliff more than ten meters high on the side of the road, walking with difficulty in the thorns and grass, and from time to time there are gravels rolling down behind him, rolling up a cloud of dust. When she was young, I saw her jumping down from the cliff with a handful of herbs in her hand, and the crisp sound of her trouser legs being torn by wild thorns spilled in the wind. Finally ran to the stream, stabbed again, slipped on his heels, and a familiar costume was stained with muddy water. As she chewed on the washed herbs in her mouth, she carefully tore open the rags that adhered to the wound and applied the chewed herbs to her back little by little. Du Ruo could no longer suppress the layers of heat in his heart, strings of tears rolled down his eyes, and he was so choked in his throat that he couldn't speak for a while.

Ren Yan's heart was stunned for a while, and she didn't feel that she reached out to wipe the wet corners of her eyes, and only after a long time did she tremble and stab, tear off her torn clothes, and bandage the wound.

"I'm sorry to make you smile, it was windy just now, and I squinted my eyes!" Du Ruo grabbed the branch and stood up, picked up the clothes that were soaked with red blood with his bare arms, and forced a smile in embarrassment.

"You're always like this, you say something insincere, and you don't have a good reason to lie!" Ren Yan smiled dryly, swept a few locks of hair scattered on her forehead with her hand, and walked away a few steps lonely, "I came to tell you something, my brother is getting married, the family wants me to move out, and I don't want to look at my brother-in-law's cold face all day long, just when the street renovation has freed up a vacant land, I want to buy it, build a two-story house, open a shop on the first floor to help you sell paintings, and live on the second floor!" ”

"So, you've been alone with your son for the past two years?" Du Ruo was surprised for a while, and couldn't help but take a step forward, leaning on the trunk of the tree again, his eyes widening in disbelief.

"What do you say, can't I get married, I was driven into the city from the wedding, and I still have the face to marry again!" Ren Yan swallowed anger in her heart in an instant, tears flowed into her stomach, and her facial features were stunned.

Du Ruo was speechless for a while, his face flushed indefensibly, his bare shoulders trembled slightly in the wind, and he moved his lips after half a day, "I want to open a shop to help me sell paintings, I can't ask for it, I'm worried that I can't find a way, with you to join, which career can not go to the next level." If you have taste, insight, and aesthetic vision, you must be able to open a market in the city. I'll just talk to Honglian and see if I can ask her permission! ”

"I haven't gotten down to business yet, you have diverted the topic, don't you want to help me?" Ren Yan's face was gloomy, and after a moment of indignation and anger, an unsustainable helplessness made her unconsciously ease her tone.

"What else to say, isn't it already clear that I want to borrow some money to build a house. When you came, I guessed you were in trouble, but I didn't expect you to be alone. Don't worry, I will try my best to persuade Honglian, we have raised some money in the past two years, but we are all there with her, the housekeeper is like a mother-in-law, and her surname is also strong, but she is sensible and very business-minded, and the little evil skin admires her so much. I discussed with her carefully to see if the money to build the house could be paid by us, and if we invested, you just need to find a way to sell paintings, otherwise you are a salaryman, and you will not be able to pay off this debt in the Year of the Monkey. When I was in the work area, I said that in this life, I only wish you to live in the ** tank, be a beautiful moisturizer girl, and live a decent city person, and not let you suffer the slightest sin, suffer the slightest grievance, when to say this is really a bit of a brag, now it is nothing! What's more, you still look down on me so much, treat us as relatives, are willing to take care of us, and take our business as a thing, then I should reach out and help you, otherwise I will really become a Du Er pole abandoned by everyone! ”

"I ...... What do I say, I'm really desperate, I know you won't leave us alone! Ren Yan sighed for a while, thousands of words were stuck in her throat and couldn't spit it out, her eyes were also wet with the emotional waves that were aroused, and she couldn't help but turn around with a thousand sighs.

"If brother, it's not better, the injury is not bad, come with me to see a doctor!" On the mountain road, Red Lotus and Little Evil Skin hurriedly ran over.

Du Ruo rubbed his eyes, got up and left the trunk, who knew that as soon as he took a step, he suddenly felt a dizziness in his head, and the Venus in front of him was rising, his legs were weak, and he almost fell to the ground. Honglian screamed, flew forward, and picked up Du Ruo, "If you don't come, you have to come, if you don't do it, you have to do it, you are tired like this, are you a person who does farm work, when something happens, it is like a muddy ball, the whole body can't stand a thorn, the words don't explain and don't understand, you can't see through it until you get to the end, why can't you do it now!" ”

Du Ruoqian smiled, obediently took the coat that Honglian took off and draped it on his shoulders, and honestly bowed down and let Honglian check the wound hand in hand, "It doesn't matter, the bleeding has stopped early, the herbs that Teacher Ren gave you to compress, go back and apply some medicine to reduce inflammation, and it will be fine!" ”

Honglian relieved her heart, took Du Ruo's blood-stained clothes, and turned back to Ren Yan Yingying and smiled, "Sister Ren, thank you!" This person belongs to the abacus beads, and if you don't play with it, you can't move! The foundation is all gone, and I often want to save face! Oh, Sister Ren, so beautiful, really like a character in a New Year's painting, no wonder this person lost his soul all day long, thinking about the city all day long, and even dreaming of going to the city to a roof! ”

"Sister Lian, tell a joke! He hates me, I'm afraid that I won't be able to untie this knot in my life! Isn't Sister Lian also a character in the painting, otherwise you can tie his heart? Sister is old, accept that you will not give up, willing to call me sister, I will recognize you as a sister with an old face, sister has no ability, eat a mouthful of food, and help more later! Ren Yan had no distractions, approached Honglian generously, and took her hands affectionately.

"Honglian, Teacher Ren is here, there is something to find us!" Du Shu coughed, his face was full of unbearable expressions, and he squinted at Ren Yan anxiously.

"I knew earlier, I want you to eat radish with salty wood** lightly, the little evil skin told me, it's too late for me to welcome, how can I not fulfill my sister's wish! But Sister Ren, we have to talk about it in front, after the house is built, you live first, but the property right is ours, this can't be sloppy. If you have no opinion, in two days, I will go to the city with you to see the real estate, even the exhibition room with the warehouse, to see how much it costs, this can't just build an ordinary small western-style building, you want to in the future, you have to deduct money from your commission for selling paintings, sister, don't you settle the account? Honglian was obviously confident, and the words that she had already calculated spit out like pearls, which not only made people feel uncomfortable, but also seemed very appropriate.

"Definitely, my sister doesn't treat me as an outsider, she doesn't care about the little things I did with him in the past, and she is willing to help me like this, what else do I have to say!" Ren Yan was grateful, and she didn't want to let go of the red lotus's palm for a long time, and she was stunned as if she was stupid for a while.

"Okay, Boss Lian, you don't have to worry about your sisters and sisters, it seems that you have known each other for eight hundred years, and all the fairies of Qingzhou are mortal. I have already sung about the empty city plan in my stomach, but I have driven seven or eight hundred miles to make your sisters have this side of elegance! The little evil skin smiled, looked at everyone in a circle, and took the first step. (To be continued.) )
