Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Old Man, the New Man, the Old Man

After speaking, Aunt An said that there was nothing to do here, so she let herself go back to rest first.

Aunt An watched Bai Zhen'er's back disappear into the corner, and she inadvertently remembered Granny An's abnormal reaction when Bai Zhener went to take off Granny An's shoes just now. After a few moments, Aunt Ann retracted her thoughts and turned to go elsewhere.

Left and right still have some effect.

Bai Zhen'er went back to the courtyard, and soon after, someone brought good throat tea.

She glanced at the tea leaves in the delicate box, Xiao Zi Ma made a pot of tea, Bai Zhen'er took a sip, and felt that her throat was extremely refreshing. Sure enough, it's good tea.

For a period of time in the future, Bai Zhen'er followed Aunt An's side and learned how to serve by Granny An's side. Bai Zhen'er has mostly understood the process now, except that Granny An doesn't like to bend down to do some personal things for her, such as taking off her shoes, such as washing her feet and face, serving and dressing, and so on.

Bai Zhen'er thought that this was the case, and Aunt An might not let her come over again, but the strange thing was that Aunt An never said anything. Bai Zhen'er has also been silently staying by her side, and what she does more is to read scriptures, so that Granny An has more time to sleep, and the time for kneeling and chanting has become shorter.

One day, after Granny An fell asleep during her lunch break, Bai Zhen'er followed Aunt An out of the house as usual.

"Follow me." After Aunt Ann finished speaking, she walked to the side.

Bai Zhen'er didn't ask anything, so she followed behind, and after not going far, Bai Zhen'er followed Aunt An to a room. When she followed in, she found that it was a room for rest, and there was nothing special about it.

"You should be familiar with these days, you will move here in the future, and you will arrange your mother-in-law's life in the future."

"Auntie, Zhen'er is really scared, afraid that she won't be able to do this well." Bai Zhen'er is telling the truth, Mama An can't speak, and Aunt An has always looked at Granny An guessingly.

"There are other people to do the things next to you, if you don't understand, you can ask the palace maid who is waiting. All you need to do is read the scriptures during your breaks. Also, as I told you before, try to minimize the time your mother-in-law kneels and chant sutras, and then find a way to let your mother-in-law go out for a walk often. ”

Since they have said so, then they must not be allowed to be rejected. Bai Zhen'er replied calmly: "Zhen'er will do her best not to disappoint her aunt. ”

"Yes. You're a good boy. Aunt An looked at Bai Zhen'er's expression at this time, and her tone became a little lower, "My mother-in-law's health is not good, I will go to dispense medicine for my mother-in-law, if something happens." Let someone else's aunt tell me. ”

"Yes, Auntie." Bai Zhen'er lowered her head slightly, and responded to this matter.

Bai Zhen'er knew that Aunt An was born as a medical girl, but she later came to Granny An's side in Mingyue Palace. And as she spent more and more time in this Mingyue Palace, she gradually realized that Mama An's body was really not good.

――

Since then, Aunt An really hasn't appeared here again, and Bai Zhen'er knows that she has to explore it herself. Bai Zhen'er didn't suspect that this Mama An recognized herself, Mama An didn't exclude herself from approaching, but she didn't like to serve her like a slave.

This bizarre behavior may seem to outsiders. It's Granny Ann who doesn't like the touch of strangers. But Bai Zhen'er understood in her heart what was going on.

Mama An is very old, very old at the moment, she can't speak, she can't see, and she can't hear well.

However, she knew that maybe Mama An had noticed something. Since the Queen Mother's unexplained seizure three years ago, perhaps someone with a heart has noticed something.

But all this is just her speculation. Maybe it's all just a coincidence.

After Bai Zhen'er got up every day, she used to see Granny An's condition, and someone stayed by Granny An's side day and night every day. There are medical women waiting by the side all the time, giving Granny An a pulse of peace.

When Bai Zhen'er saw Granny An get up, everything was done. Bai Zhen'er glanced at the warm sunshine outside, and after she withdrew her gaze, she slowly stepped forward and said, "Mother-in-law, the weather outside is very good today." ”

The old man in front of him didn't seem to hear it, and he didn't react at all. Bai Zhen'er was not angry, she continued to say slowly: "The sun is that orange. It's warm to shine on people's bodies. ”

The palace maid on the side saw Bai Zhen'er pushing the wheelchair and was about to go outside, and wanted to step forward to stop it, but the aunt on the side grabbed the palace maid, and the people in the house watched Bai Zhen'er push the person outside.

Bai Zhen'er slowly pushed the old man towards the sunny place outside, until the sunlight shrouded the two of them. But the old man suddenly raised his hand to cover his head at the moment when the sun hit his body.

That attitude seems to be very reluctant to let the sun shine on him.

Granny An's subconscious dodging stinged Bai Zhen'er's eyes deeply. She remembered that she didn't like the scorching sun too much before, and her heart was too dark, and she couldn't see the light after all.

Bai Zhen'er bent down and grabbed the hand, and she said in a weak voice: "Where can people who chase darkness not desire light? After all these years, why bother? ”

The voice was very weak, but it came into her ears without missing a word, the old man slowly lowered her hand after half a sound, she raised her head to look at the place where the light was shining, and the face in front of her was close at hand, but she couldn't see it.

Bai Zhen'er took the hand that was stretched out towards her, then put it on her face, and then said slowly: "I will be in time for more than a month, and this age is the age of a flower." You see, isn't it very young? ”

Bai Zhen'er suddenly couldn't bear to see the people in front of her, why weren't they so afraid of the light before? It's just that now, it seems that only he has come out of that cage, and the rest of the people have been unable to extricate themselves from that trajectory all their lives.

The wrinkled hands on the face were slowly retracted, and the eyes seemed to be filled with tears, but when they looked closely, they seemed to be nothing.

Bai Zhen'er immediately walked to the back of the wheelchair, she pushed the old man alone, slowly walked around the middle of the yard, and she still said some unreasonable words in her mouth: "Three years ago, I left home with a Taoist to recuperate. In between, I went to a lot of places I hadn't been to before, and I saw a lot of scenery that I hadn't seen before. But I have never been to the desert, nor have I been to the grassland. I've always wanted to see it with my own eyes one day. ”

The old man's gaze looked at the unknown corner, and it seemed that his thoughts had followed him to the distant place where he had never been. (To be continued.) )
