Chapter 534: Lonely Paradise, Crazy Man's Eden (II)
PS: Personally, I think you can listen to Soda Green's "Story" when you read this chapter.
In the room, Hongti held Fu Duanyun's hand, and the sisters spoke in a low voice, and many times, they couldn't help but talk about the issue of "Xianggong". Hongti did not deny it, and followed her words.
After a while, Ning Yi moved the roasted called Hua Chicken out of the next room, in addition to the Hua Ji, this time he came to Lu Liang, and there were a few canned fruits in his package, and he also took them out for dinner. Three people, two dressed normally, one still stinking, sat at the table and ate like that.
In the topic at the dinner table, Ning Yi found that this Fu Duanyun's thinking was still normal in a certain aspect, for example, she would not forget the cognition that Ning Yi had just said that "he and Hongti became married", but she was already unclear about the village and her own current situation. She was also able to tell what happened "yesterday" in every household in the village, and it seemed that today, everyone went out to visit the house because of something, and occasionally talked about what her mother-in-law told her to do......
She was not aware of any abnormalities in her body, whether it was her blind eyes or missing teeth, or the filth and stench caused by the stool drowning on her body. Only physical feelings can't deceive people, she is obviously very hungry, and she can't help but eat quickly, sometimes she almost chokes, so she smiles at the two of them awkwardly, and then says to Ning Yi and Hongti that it is delicious. Asked again where this was a good thing, Ning Yi and Hongti said that Jiang Ning brought it over.
Until I finished eating, the sun had not yet set. Fu Duanyun chatted with them about the situation in the village for a while, said goodbye and went back, holding Hongti's hand when he left, and told her some things, such as asking the new aunt not to be wronged, if there is anything at home that is not available, go to her house to get it. The two watched as she walked towards a house on the other side of the village.
Since I didn't look closely before, I now found that only the room in the distance in the whole village was good, and it seemed that it had been repaired in the past few years. Red Ti led him over to take a look. Everything in that room was filthy. But it seems that it has been sorted out to a certain extent, and the broken quilt on the bed is also neatly folded, probably made by Hong Ti just now, and a bag is placed next to the bed. It is also a bag of dry food for red grapes.
"She lives alone." Hongti said.
Ning Yi nodded. shook her hand.
Because of this thing. When the two of them walked out of the village, they saw the edge of the woods and the bottom of the hillside in the distance. Fu Duanyun also walked to the edge of the village and looked in the direction of the east.
Then she sat there, as if waiting for someone to come back.
"Sister Duanyun is only four years older than me." Taking a breath, Hongti said so and smiled, but then she also found that the love of laughter may not be suitable here, "Liheng, you should have guessed, her father-in-law and mother-in-law are dead." Xianggong died first, that year there was a famine, grabbing food everywhere, calling around, her Xianggong died to protect the village, and before he died, he asked her to take care of the old lady at home, but at that time I came back from outside with the master, and she was actually crazy. ”
"Hmm." Ning Yi replied in a low voice.
Hongti paused for a long time: "After she went crazy, she still respected her mother-in-law at home, farming, doing things, washing and cooking, and serving the elderly...... Xianggong went to Fenyang, and he went out the day before, sometimes thinking about it, we think it's actually good for her to be like this...... Then in those two years, a lot of things happened, the village couldn't hold on, and then it broke, everyone went to Aoki Village, and the master also died, Sister Duanyun and her mother-in-law, I always thought they died in those chaos, until I came back a few years later, and found that she lived here alone......"
"How...... Didn't bring her back to the stockade? ”
"I can't take it back." Hongti sat down on the grass with her legs folded and looked at the figure over there, "I had a seizure when I brought it back, I made a fuss like I was going to die, banging my head against the pillar and biting my tongue." She always remembered this place, saying that Xianggong and her mother-in-law had gone out, and asked her to wait here for them to come back, and she could only live here. In fact...... Sister Duanyun used to be very beautiful, when the mountain bandits came, her mother-in-law died, she didn't die, and then what those people did to her, I also want to know, she became like this later...... And then it became like this......"
Hongti's eyes narrowed, and her gaze became sharp: "She will still do a lot of things!" Doing housework, washing clothes, farming, in fact, she planted a small piece of land over there, and there was a harvest. This look was intentional on her own. She forgot a lot of things, but she subconsciously remembered them, because because of the way she looked, those mountain bandits wouldn't touch her...... Sometimes when she was halfway through planting, it would be ruined by people from the neighborhood, and she would plant new ones, and I would sometimes come and see and send her something, and if someone destroyed the land, I would go to the neighborhood and look for someone, sometimes I could find it, sometimes I couldn't find it...... One time I came a little late, and a group of people passing by took away all the little food in her house, and the land was confiscated, and Sister Duanyun had been hungry for four or five days, and I don't know why she was still alive at that time......"
"......" Ning Yi looked at the crazy woman in the sunset in the distance.
"There are good things too...... A few years ago, about three or four years ago, a lame man who had been here wanted to settle down, Sister Duanyun was a madman, but he seemed to be ...... I fell in love with her. Just staying in the village, he still took good care of Sister Duanyun, and I secretly watched it for a while. But Sister Duanyun knows people, and she usually greets and talks to him very well, but if the lame man wants to go to her bed, she is not allowed, every once in a while, the lame man can't help it, so he uses force on her, and Sister Duanyun is like dead...... The next day, I forgot about it and said hello the same. Actually, I think it's not bad to have someone to take care of her......"
Ning Yi almost didn't want to ask, but he still asked in a low voice, "What about that cripple?" ”
"They spent two years together." Hongti said calmly, "Then one day when I passed, the lame man had already been killed, a ...... A guy who escaped from Liao lived here temporarily, and it may have been several days. At that time, Sister Duanyun didn't look so old, I saw ...... I saw him dragging Sister Duanyun to the stream to wash her clean, Sister Duanyun kept struggling, she tied Sister Duanyun up, and Sister Duanyun hit the ground with her head, her teeth had already been knocked out, and her eyes were blinded...... In fact, when the cripple used force on her, she never did this......"
She didn't go on with it, or what happened to the guy. Just a moment. Only then did he exhale: "But I can only come here once in a while." Send something away...... It's very messy here, it's not suitable to be a foothold, if you send someone to take care of Sister Duanyun, it may be for Sister Duanyun again. Dead others. Sister Duanyun, she ...... I don't think I have long to live. I didn't even know I wanted to see her die. Ask for relief, or continue to live like this. In fact, when we look at her, we may think that she is very pitiful. But who knows if she's happier now than she was when she was awake. No matter how difficult things she went through, she forgot about them the next day......"
"Liheng ......" she smiled and said to Ning Yi who was sitting next to her, "I don't want to tell you these things, Lu Liangshan is like this, I have said it a long time ago, and you know it, but I don't want to say too much about these things, and after knowing too much, I will always be unhappy." And...... Will you ...... Hmmm......"
She pondered for a while, didn't say the rest of the words, and said after a while: "Actually, I grew up here, and the people in the mountains have lived like this, and they are used to seeing everything, it'......s nothing," she said, "Ning Liheng, I teach you martial arts, I am your master, and you regard me as your master at this time, okay?" ”
When she said these words, her face also became slightly stern. When Ning Yi first met her, she had such strictness and coldness, but after gradual contact, she became warmer, even if she made a straight face, it was difficult to have a little several, only at this time, Ning Yi saw Lu Hongti who seemed to be wary in the small courtyard again, she held her sword, sat there, and looked into the distance.
However, she didn't really resist Ning Yi, for many years in the mountains, people came over like this, and she really ...... I'm used to seeing everything.,That kind of habit is extremely distorted.,It's really very ordinary.,It's a sense of distance that doesn't fit in.。 The coldness on her face didn't even look like a tsundere, neither sad nor strong, unwilling to refuse, but unable to be kind. Only for this moment, she really looked a little like a clumsy mountain woman......
……
"Hmm." Ning Yi nodded, "You are the master." As he spoke, he reached over with his hand.
……
"I'm your master......"
Hongti closed her eyes and whispered, but Ning Yi wrapped her arms around her and let her body lean sideways into his arms.
"Well, you're Master." He repeated.
"Alas......" The female master who was hugging the ancient sword sighed softly, her face still had a protective coldness, but she couldn't break free from his embrace, so she let Ning Yi hold her on the grass, and after a while, she quietly seemed to be asleep.
……
"Let's go back to work." After a long time, Ning Yi said.
"Huh?"
"I saw what I should have seen, though...... It's really not something I want to see, but it's a good thing to be able to see it, and when I see it, it's time to go back to doing things. He sighed.
After a while, when Ning Yi and Hongti rode away, the figure on the hillside stood up and waved at them. The gesture of waving his hand seemed so ordinary, as if he had never experienced any bad luck.
They held hands and the horses walked slowly down the hillside.
The sun is setting, and even Luliang Mountain, under such a sunset, has become gentle and magnificent.
And one step forward, it should be the Iron Horse Jingo, and the Mandao Xiongguan.
This day is the summer of the twelfth year of Jinghan, April 19. In the humble days, I saw inconspicuous people and things......
**************
When I got up in the morning, I felt that the wind was blowing very comfortably, and after the wind blew to be energetic, I went to fetch water and wash my clothes, the village was a little deserted, and many people went out because of the nearby market. I heard Runxing's dog barking, the mad dog, always barking, sooner or later I will throw a stone and cripple it, but I took the stone and waited at the door for a long time, and I didn't know where the dog had gone.
In the morning, Uncle Shunyi came to the door and borrowed the planer from the house with me, probably because the family was installing the door. I don't really want to talk to him, he's a big mouth, a man in his forties, who talks nonsense to the old ladies in the village all day long, and the night I got married, they made me cry because of the holes, but you say he's a good person. Forget it, in a while I should be able to talk nonsense outside like those women. I found a planer at home and gave it to Uncle Shunyi, and he left, this time he didn't say anything, it's okay, otherwise I don't know how to answer.
In the afternoon, there was a good thing, Hongti came back, she seemed to be learning art from the master, sometimes she came back, this time she came back, and she actually came to Xianggong later. Her father-in-law is from Jiangning, and she brought a lot of good things, but unfortunately everyone went out, and she couldn't go a few houses if she wanted to go to the door, I told her that Youcheng and her mother-in-law went to Fenyang, and the others went to the market, maybe she came over again tomorrow, and she could see it, and Youcheng and her mother-in-law would be very happy to see her and her husband. I remember when we were younger, we went hungry together.
After dinner, I went to the entrance of the village to see them off, and the sun was very good in the evening, and this year would be a good year. In fact, since I was a child, I don't seem to have been hungry much, and now that Hongti is also married to a good husband, the year of Luliangshan is getting better and better year by year.
In fact, when I went to the entrance of the village, I also wanted to see the people who returned to the village, but I don't know why today, they haven't come back so late. If you walk at night, there are wolves in the mountains, don't be alone, you can stay outside with your mother-in-law for one night. It's just that I am alone at home, and I feel a little lonely.
Youcheng, mother-in-law, when are you coming back...... (To be continued......)
