"Xiao Tao, if the master is gone, don't cry, people live for a lifetime, people die and reincarnate, it's not a big deal, the master has practiced medicine to save people in this life, and he thinks he is worthy of his heart, and he will definitely go to heaven to enjoy happiness after death, so you don't have to cry, you should be happy for the master." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Ji Liangping actually said so many words in one breath, in the eyes of Village Chief Qian, this is a return to the light, but it is not a good sign at all.

Without waiting for Xiao Tao to stop it, Ji Liangping said again, "The only thing that the master can't rest assured about now is you, the master is gone, you are lonely, what can I do." ”

"Master, I have hands and feet, as well as medical skills, I can't starve to death anywhere, you don't have to worry about me, no matter where I am, no matter what kind of difficulties I encounter, I can take care of myself," Xiao Tao choked and said.

Village Chief Qian's eyes were covered with a layer of mist, "You can rest assured, since Xiao Tao has lived in our village, she is from our Siping Village, she is a girl, she can't live a wandering life, we will take good care of her, wait a few years for her to give her a mother-in-law, let her take root here." ”

Village Chief Qian's words were not serious, but they were a sure promise, which undoubtedly reassured Ji Liangping.

Father Meng also said: "Yes, you are always a good person, Xiao Tao is also a good child, there are people from our Siping Village guarding her, and when she gets married, we are all her mother's family." ”

When Hongyi heard the word marriage, it was like being poured a basin of cold water, wet from head to toe, and poured cold on his heart.

He looked at Xiao Tao's kneeling back, and now she has changed into a simple dress, not a fancy style, nor a bright color, but in his eyes, it is dazzling and beautiful.

It turned out that she was a woman......

It turned out that she turned out to be a woman......

It turned out that what he fantasized about had become reality......

But why did he think it was unreal again, could it be his hallucination?

The monkey saw the look on Hongyi's face very clearly, he took a sip, ran up and pulled Hongyi's sleeve, and whispered and eagerly said to him: "Why are you still standing stupidly, Xiao Tao is a girl, do you hear!" ”

Seeing that Hongyi still didn't move, he twisted Hongyi's arm fiercely.

"Hiss......" Hongyi's arm hurt, and he subconsciously turned his head to look at him.

The monkey secretly scolded him for being sluggish, it's all at this time, and he's still a fart!

It was too late, it was too fast, and the monkey was in a hurry, so he kicked at Hongyi's leg.

If it were normal times, this kick would not hit Hongyi at all, but who made Hongyi's soul out of the sheath and his soul not possessed his body!

He stumbled, and the man pounced in the direction of Xiao Tao.

Fortunately, the monkey's feet were not strong, and he just shook his body and stabilized his body.

Looking down at the kneeling little figure, Hongyi's heart ached, he gritted his teeth, suddenly became short, knelt in front of Ji Langzhong, held his sword eyebrows, and looked at Ji Liangping with a serious expression, "Master, please give Xiao Tao to me, no matter whether she is poor or rich in the future, I will take care of her with my life, not let her suffer, not let her be wronged, I Hongyi hereby swears, if there is a betrayal of this word, the sky will be thundered, and it will not be a good death!" ”

A person like Hongyi is not the kind of person who casually promises to others and talks about it casually.

He kept his promise, and because of this, the oath he made was more credible. If it is carved on a stone, it will not be erased after 10,000 years.

Ji Liangping's eyes widened violently, his breathing was short, and he was slightly owed, as if he wanted to sit up, but he couldn't sit up, so he could only hold on reluctantly, "You...... Are you telling the truth? ”

"No," Xiao Tao rejected Hongyi before he could answer.

She, Ji Xiaotao, is not a weak woman who is powerless, and she can live well without relying on men. Even in times like these, she doesn't need the mercy of others.

Hongyi's kneeling figure stiffened, he looked at Xiao Tao's back, and a trace of pain slowly appeared in his eyes.

Meng Yan, who was standing in the distance, felt no less pain in his heart than him.

She didn't know if Hongyi did this because he liked Xiao Tao, or because he wanted Ji Langzhong to feel relieved and let him leave with peace of mind.

"Stinky girl, shut up," Ji Langzhong's eyes were full of anger, and he scolded fiercely, "Hongyi is a good man, you follow him, the master is under Jiuquan, you can rest assured, otherwise you want to let the master die blindly?" ”

Today, the reason why he has to ask Xiao Tao to change into women's clothes is not so that she can have a home, Hongyi, this child, he can trust, and there is no one else at home, for Xiao Tao, Hongyi is the best choice.

Probably because of his anger, Ji Langzhong couldn't breathe again, his face, which was a little red just now, suddenly turned white, and his eyes rolled straight up.

"Master! Master! Master! When Xiao Tao saw him like this, her heart sank to the bottom, she knelt forward, hugged Ji Liangping, and shouted to him over and over again.

Hongyi had never seen Xiao Tao like this, seeing her crying hoarsely, he felt that his heart was also in pain and couldn't breathe, he bowed slightly, reached out to hold Xiao Tao's shoulder, wiped the tears on her face with his sleeve, and comforted softly: "Don't cry, don't let the master worry about you anymore." ”

Ji Liangping opened his eyes weakly, and said word by word, "Child, don't wander anymore, stay here, every year during the Qingming New Year, burn some paper money for the master, let the master know if you are doing well, and the master can rest in peace." ”

Xiao Tao closed his eyes, let go of the hand holding him, and kowtowed heavily on the ground, "Master...... Listen to you, stay here, and go anywhere. ”

"Doctor Ji!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Village Chief Qian scream.

Xiao Tao looked up violently, and saw that the master's eyes had been closed, his expression was serene, and his hand hanging on the edge of the bed did not have a trace of strength.

"Master!"

Xiao Tao called him sadly, crying in the dark.

Ji Liangping's funeral was very simple, but there were no customs that should be there

There should be no less customs.

The people of Siping Village pooled money, set up a coffin, and transported it from the town to the village.

The burial ceremony was presided over by the head of the village of Qian, and it was also considered a success.

Since Ji Liangping closed his eyes, Xiao Tao collected his tears and never cried again, only knelt in front of the mourning hall in a daze, kowtowed to the people who came to worship.

Hongyi has been with her and knelt beside her.

Except for the necessary Zhang Luo, Hongyi never left her again.

He knows the pain of losing his loved ones better than anyone else, so he empathizes with the sadness in Xiao Tao's heart.

The monkey and Da Fat, as well as a few young people in the village, under the leadership of Father Meng, dug the grave, and in the early morning of the third day of the vigil, buried Ji Liangping and erected a tombstone.

The inscription is engraved on the tomb of his loving father Ji Liangping.

In her heart, Ji Liangping is her father, and such an inscription can be regarded as the last thing she can do for her master.

When a person lives, marries a wife and has children, and raises children to prevent old age, when it comes to the moment of death, the only thing he thinks about is that someone can send him to the end?

Don't wait until you close your eyes, there is no one to collect the body.

Ji Liangping used to be worried about this.

In adopting Xiao Tao from the orphan pile, there is also this selfishness in it.

Now it's okay, Xiao Tao has lived up to his nurturing grace and given him a beautiful funeral, Ji Liangping's life can be regarded as complete.

The courtyard of the Hong's family, which had been noisy for a few days, suddenly became deserted.

After the funeral, everyone went back, and only Hongyi and Xiao Tao were left in the entire Hongjia courtyard.

As early as the day Ji Liangping died, knowing that Xiao Tao was a woman, Hongyi moved the bedding next door.

He is a man, he doesn't sleep on the kang at night, and he doesn't get cold.

It's in the dead of night, and every time I think of that night when they slept on a quilt, my heart is itching.

Occasionally, I even dreamed about it, and I accidentally soiled my clothes.

The snow stopped, the sun dewed, but the temperature was very low, and it was terribly cold.

Before Xiao Tao got up, Hongyi got up early in the morning, burned porridge, and steamed hot buns.

I thought that I would send her when she woke up, but I was afraid that breakfast would be cold.

After hesitation, he still walked to the window and knocked on the window, "Xiao Tao, get up for breakfast, I'm done, if you don't eat it, it should be cold." ”

"Well, here it is," Xiao Tao didn't actually fall asleep, her eyes were open, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

The master is gone, except for the initial sadness and reluctance, the mood has calmed down a lot in the past few days.

Think about what the master said, he went to heaven to enjoy happiness, he has never done evil things in his life, and it is impossible to go to hell, so what is there to be sad about!

She exhaled a breath of turbidity against the beams of the room, and got up to get dressed.

There were no men's clothes on the kang, but a brand new set of women's clothes, which Hongyi bought for her yesterday, and at the same time, he was very careful and bought some beaded hairpins for her.

The most ordinary style is not inlaid with gold and jade, and the ordinary one is like Hongyi.

Xiao Tao was hesitant and didn't want to wear women's clothes, but felt that it was convenient to wear men's clothes.

But for some reason, maybe it was the death of the master that made her unable to lift her spirit, and she no longer had the courage of the past, and it felt strange if she wore men's clothes.

After thinking about it, she finally picked up the women's clothes.

When I got off the kang and turned around, I saw a small bronze mirror on the small table that was pushed to the side, which was only a little bigger than her palm, and only half of the face was illuminated.

The bronze mirror is very expensive, and the palm-sized piece also costs a lot of money.

Xiao Tao rubbed the bronze mirror, and her mind couldn't help but think of the oath that Hongyi knelt in front of the master that day.

In fact, she really doesn't need Hongyi to make any promises to her, or to fulfill her promises, she doesn't need to.

"Well, I don't want to," she quickly brushed her hair away.

She couldn't comb the man's hairstyle anymore, so she combed it simply, pulled up half of her long hair, left half of it, draped it behind her, and then used the hairpin that Hongyi bought for her to fix her hair.

This kind of dress is not only relaxed, but also does not get in the way.

When she opened the door and went out, Hongyi was shoveling snow in the yard, and when he heard movement behind him, he stopped his movements and looked back at her.

Pink embroidered plum blossom padded jacket, lined with a face, bright and moving, but not delicate, the natural recklessness in her bones, so that her whole person looks, like a red plum blooming in the cold wind of the cold wax moon, clear bones proud.

Underneath was a long black cotton skirt that was ankle-length.

Looking at her long hair again, Hongyi felt that his heart was about to pop out of his chest.

Xiao Tao ripped off her clothes a little awkwardly, she thought that her appearance frightened Hongyi, and was about to say sorry to him, when two people came in outside.

That day, when Meng Yan saw Hongyi and Xiao Tao kneeling side by side, she already understood Hongyi's heart, although she was also unwilling and unconvinced, but emotional matters could not be forced, she still understood this truth.

If Hongyi didn't have her in her heart, then even if she married him in vain, she wouldn't live a happy life.

Besides, Xiao Tao's temperament, she likes it from the bottom of her heart, lively and cheerful, not twisted, not pretentious, what to say, straightforward, very easy to get along with.

Before Meng Yan entered the door, she saw Xiao Tao wearing a beautiful women's clothes, standing there quietly, she exclaimed, "Oh Xiao Tao, I didn't expect you to wear women's clothes, it's really like that, it's so good-looking." ”

Her heartfelt praise, not jealous, not jealous.

"It's really good-looking, I really didn't expect you to be a woman," Meng Yangshu came with her, his legs can walk, but he can't walk too much, and he can't do heavy work, so as not to crack the wound. Although his leg was still a little painful, he heard that his sister was going to see Xiao Tao, so he still insisted on dragging his leg with him.

Meng Yangshu looked straight at Xiao Tao, and felt that she was in the past

I felt that she had an aura on her body, and now that she had changed into women's clothes, this aura haunted her even more, like a halo, wrapped around her, dazzling.

Although Hongyi was slightly emotionally dull, he was not so stupid that he couldn't understand Meng Yangshu's eyes, he dragged a shovel and walked towards Xiao Tao, "It's not early, go wash and have breakfast first, and then go to the grave, today is the first seven, you can't go late, you sit down for a while, wait for her to eat breakfast before talking." ”

The latter words were said to Meng Yan and them.

He walked straight over, grabbed Xiao Tao's sleeve, and led the person out of the house.

"Master's first seven?" Xiao Tao was surprised that she didn't know this custom, so she forgot to break away from his hand and let him pull him straight into the kitchen.

"Well, according to the customs of our village, today is the first seven, I have everything ready, you eat quickly," Hongyi put down the shovel, let go of the hand holding her, and took the wooden basin to scoop water to wash her face.

Don't look at his face, but his heart is full of joy.

Xiao Tao didn't shake off his hand just now, isn't that enough for him to be happy?

"Brother Hong, thank you," Xiao Tao sincerely thanked him. If it weren't for Hongyi's handling of the master's aftermath, she wouldn't have been able to handle it alone. Now, even the paper money is ready, this man is too caring.

Hongyi's face flushed, avoiding her sparkling gaze, "Hurry up and clean up and have breakfast!" ”

"Oh, got it, did you eat it?"

"I've eaten it, you use it first, I'll go out and greet the poplars," Hongyi ran out of the kitchen as if he had escaped.

Xiao Tao was also really stunned, watching him run away, remembering the oath he had made that day when he knelt in front of his master, he always felt that something in his heart was loosening.

Hongyi ran out and was meeting Meng Yan and Meng Yangshu with a clear look on their faces.

"Brother Hong, what's wrong with you, why is your face so red, isn't it hot," Meng Yan teased him with a smile, it's rare to see, it's too rare to see, it can be regarded as a wonder in the world to see Hongyi's face blushing like this.

"Definitely not, he's shy," Meng Yangshu was also smiling, but the smile was a bit far-fetched, but it didn't matter, looking at his good brother, it was best to bloom, and it was best to bear fruit again, and he was also happy for Hongyi.

Over the years, Hongyi has been alone, too bitter, unlike him, with his father and mother, and his sister, the family is reunited and lively.

Hongyi was not good at words, which would be even more embarrassing, "Don't talk nonsense, Xiao Tao is still there!" ”

Meng Yangshu sighed, stepped forward and patted his friend's shoulder, "Since you promised Master Ji, you should take good care of Xiao Tao, and when the mourning period is over next year, you will marry Xiao Tao, you need a complete home, Xiao Tao also needs it, you take care of each other, and it can be regarded as an explanation to Master Ji." ”

"I'm not ......" Hongyi originally listened well, but when he listened to it, he felt that something was wrong, "It's not because of Master Ji's last words, I'm ......"

He wanted to say that it was because of Xiao Tao, not for what to confess and entrust.

But without waiting for him to explain, Xiao Tao ran out of the kitchen, Xiaoban was serious, and shouted at Hongyi: "Brother Hong, you don't have to be responsible for me, and I don't need you to be responsible, what I said that day, what you said, we all know in our hearts what it is for, so you really don't need to take it seriously." ”

She spoke in a somewhat rushed tone, and when she finished speaking, seeing that the three of them were staring at her, she turned around sullenly and ran into the house, ran out across the basket of the grave, and left a message before leaving, "I'll go to the grave alone, Brother Hong will stay at home and be busy!" ”
