Gu Tianya gently pinched the reed mat under his arm, and for some reason chose to remain silent.

He seemed to have some bitterness in his heart, so he was reluctant to answer the question of 'Auntie'.

But the woman's eyes stared at him without blinking, obviously not giving up without getting an answer, Gu Tianya sighed helplessly, and said: "Although the heart wishes, it is difficult to do it." ”

"Why is that?" The woman followed closely.

Gu Tianya glanced at her slowly, his eyes looked up at the sky again, countless snowflakes fell on his face, and in a blink of an eye, they melted into flowing water, and in a trance, the water didn't know whether it was tears or snow.

The woman didn't know why, she only felt a sour feeling in her heart for no reason, and at this moment she even wanted to blurt out and say to Gu Tianya, 'I won't force you', but she is a decisive person after all, even if her heart is sour, she still forcibly suppresses it, but instead speaks again: "Why in the end?" Auntie wants to listen. ”

Gu Tianya finally spoke, but only four words came out, and he said word by word: "Worry, there are worries." ”

What a woman she is, she instantly became abrupt.

Worries, worries.

It can also be understood as a worry.

What are the worries of teenagers? Needless to say, she is also his most filial wife. That's why he hid in the small village, endured hunger and hardship to survive, so he could endure the oppression of the Sun family's steward, even if he worked hard for a day to give him half a catty of food.

An eighteen-year-old boy should be at the age of full blood, but he gritted his teeth and endured it, just because he had worries.

The old lady is the weakness that he can't rest assured of.

At this time, the snowflakes were bigger, the cold wind was like a person crying, and I suddenly heard the blind old man cough, as if he was confused: "People go, it's a relief, don't be a man in the next life, it's too hard to be a man......"

Gu Tianya and the woman looked at each other at the same time.

found that the old man had already entered A-Yao's hut, and at this time, he didn't know where to light a small oil lamp, and between the lights, the old man was holding a small oil lamp around A-Yao's mother's corpse.

Walk around, read a sentence, walk around, read a sentence, like a muddled nagging, and like a consolation to persuade the dead, keep saying: "Let's go, let's go, don't worry about the child, don't give up, your girl is a blessing, she won't die of hunger like you, there are nobles to take care of, she has nobles to take care of......"

After chattering for a long time, he suddenly slowly bent down his waist, only to see him put the small oil lamp on top of Ah Yao's mother's head, and then looked up at Gu Tianya and the woman, and said in a slurred throat: "Ten cents!" ”

This was said abruptly, and the woman was a little puzzled when she heard it, but Gu Tianya hurriedly nodded solemnly, and said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, the blind master, this account is mine." ”

The woman quietly tugged at his sleeve and asked curiously, "What's the account?" ”

Gu Tianya glanced at her and explained softly: "Lamp oil money, lamp oil money to send away the deceased, the blind man helped Ah Yao's mother light the oil lamp, which can illuminate her way above the Yellow Spring, this is the gift of the blind master, but the lamp oil money must be borne by the deceased's family, Ah Yao's family has no money, so this money can only be counted on me......"

After a pause, he said softly: "But I don't have any money now, so I can only give credit to the blind man." ”

The woman suddenly realized when she heard this, but her eyes looked at the small oil lamp, and suddenly said: "Just a little oil, I will ask you to pay ten cents." ”

There was a distress in her tone.

Obviously, she grew up in a wealthy family since she was a child, and she has seen countless gold and silver treasures, she has never put thousands of things in her eyes, and when she rewards her subordinates, she is even more arrogant, money, she has never cared about it before, but now, she feels distressed for ten cents.

Just because this is a debt that her 'good nephew' has to bear.

Gu Tianya waved his hand at her, and explained softly again: "The night watchmen have no children and no daughters, and most of them are five disadvantages and three shortcomings, they have no other source of livelihood, and they only have a little income by helping with red and white ceremonies in the village, the lamp oil of this oil lamp is indeed not worth ten cents, but after the blind master lights it, it is worth ten cents......"

After a pause, he explained again after a deep sigh, and said, "As for the specific reason for this, you can understand that this is the custom of our village, in short, we have to give money to the night watchman, so that they can live with a little income." ”

The woman listened thoughtfully, and her eyes couldn't help but look at the blind old man, and she faintly realized in her heart that this was actually the meaning of the poor helping the poor.

The blind man is a childless and daughterless man, and his brain is still a little confused, such an old man is easy to not survive in this world, but the villagers did not let him starve to death, but through the customs and traditions of the night watchman, so that this lonely old man can also earn a mouthful of food and drink.

To put it bluntly, it is still the truth of saving the emergency but not the poor.

Because the blind man is a night watchman, it is equivalent to having his own trade, as long as he is a person with a trade, he is not a person who eats white food and waits for death.

At this time, he suddenly saw the blind man beckoning to Gu Tianya, and said slowly: "It's okay, come in." ”

Gu Tianya glanced at the woman, and stopped talking: "Either you stay outside the door, I'll go in by myself." ”

The woman shook her head without hesitation and said softly: "You don't have to worry, I'm not afraid of the dead, I'll go in with you, and I can help you with a hand." ”

Gu Tianya looked her up and down, as if deciding whether she wanted her aunt to help.

The woman was already in no hurry, and directly stretched out her hand to push him, as if to blame: "Good man, procrastinate, hurry up, don't be verbose, I said that I am not afraid of the dead, I have seen more dead people than you." ”

Gu Tianya finally nodded and said, "That's okay, I can make it easier with you." ”

Why?

Because the aftermath of the deceased is indeed very tiring.

As the old saying goes, death sinks and sinks, and if a person dies, his body is much heavier than when he was alive. Due to Gu Tianya's weak physique, it would indeed be very difficult for him to carry the body by himself.

At that moment, the two of them stepped into the door, quietly waiting for the blind man's guidance, but saw the blind man slowly take out a small bell from his arms, hang it on A-Yao's mother's forehead and shake it a few times, and muttered in his mouth: "The third family, let's go, let's go, don't worry about the child, don't be reluctant, go, go, it's dark and the road is slippery, follow the blind man's oil lamp......"

After the chatter was over, he looked at Gu Tianya again, and said slowly, "Wrap it up." ”

Gu Tianya hurriedly stepped forward and spread the reed mat on the ground.

The woman suddenly stepped forward, picked up the corpse without fear, and then put it neatly on the reed mat, her movements were indescribably easy.

Gu Tianya's heart moved, and he subconsciously said, "You have a lot of strength." ”

The woman smiled at him and said, "Auntie is a practitioner." Suddenly, his tone changed, and he said with a little encouragement: "How is it, do you want to learn?" A good man, should be rampant in the world, even if he can't compete on the battlefield, at least he should have the ability to carry a three-foot long sword, as long as you want to learn, my aunt will teach you, even if you don't go to the army to fight, you can also use it to protect your family. ”

Gu Tianya was quite moved, but then shook his head with a wry smile, and said regretfully: "I will be out of breath even when I walk." ”

The woman instantly followed and said solemnly: "I said that from now on you have to eat meat." ”

Gu Tianya's face was speechless.

How many times have he heard the other party say this.
