For prostitutes, old age and decay can be described as the first death. But Aunt Wang met the man she liked when she was in her twenties, the most complacent, and her salvation in this life.
It was one afternoon, before Aunt Wang started to pick up customers, she sat half-bare-shouldered, bored by the window drinking, watching the bustling pedestrians on the side of the road. She noticed a caravan coming up in the street. She inadvertently saw that there was a person in the caravan staring at her, and Aunt Wang was a little drunk, and smiled wantonly at the man, laughing coquettishly and. When the man saw Aunt Wang smiling at him, he blushed and lowered his head and walked with his head down.
Aunt Wang felt that the man was so boring, she laughed at others, and others still needed to pay, so he didn't accept to laugh at him for free.
When picking up customers in the evening, Aunt Wang met the man again. That man was very honest and just wanted to save money to marry a daughter-in-law, but tonight he was dragged by a friend to visit the kiln, he didn't want to come at all, someone else dragged him to bring him.
Ye Yuning didn't know what happened later, she only knew that Aunt Wang spent that night with that man, and the next day the man took out all his money to help Aunt Wang redeem herself. His friends laughed at him for being stupid, laughing at him for being honest, and even ransomed himself for a bitch. worked hard to make money, just to find a lover to spend the rest of his life, and finally married a bitch.
Aunt Wang later returned to her hometown with him, planning to change her mind and start anew. At first, everyone didn't know about Aunt Wang's past, and they all said that the man had found a good daughter-in-law, who was beautiful, smart, capable, willing to endure hardships, and honored his in-laws.
But how can there be an impermeable wall in the world, it didn't take long for everyone to know that Aunt Wang had been in the dust, and since then, the gossip about her has never stopped.
The mouth grows on others, they can't control it, the two have always cared about those gossip, and live their lives wholeheartedly. Aunt Wang also gave birth to two sons, and they lived peacefully for fifteen years.
Four years ago, when floods in the south caused the family to lose their harvest, her husband was killed when he went to the landlord's house to steal grain in order for the family to survive. Later, Gu Jin rebelled, and when he heard that he could receive free food, his two sons fainted from hunger, joined the riot, and died in the war.
Aunt Wang's husband died, her son was gone, and Aunt Wang turned white overnight, as if she was twenty years old, but Aunt Wang never thought of dying. The world is too bitter, and her life is too cheap, but her cheap life has been crawling in the world and has been trying to live.
In order to earn a sum of money to support the elderly, she found Feng Erye's caravan, and once her husband followed Feng Erye to sell goods, Feng Erye took pity on her and left her.
Aunt Wang is usually silent and unsmiling, but she is very good to everyone and does her best to do her job.
The world kisses me with pain, and I want to repay it with a song.
In the blink of an eye, Wei Qijun and Ye Yuning had been in the caravan for a month. This month, the weather is gradually getting warmer, when it is in the middle of spring, the sun and the square rise, the thick green and ten thousand branches are a little red, and the moving spring color does not need to be much. Along the way, they saw all the lofty mountains, lush forests and bamboos, all the mountains such as E, flowers such as cheeks, all the flowers and road fragrance, warblers crying, bead curtains ten miles of east wind.
It's really poetic everywhere, and there is something gorgeous at any time.
At the time of the sting, the spring thunder sounded. The heavy rain continued for six days and did not stop. Feng Erye's caravan walked to a desert where there were thousands of miles of people, and there was no shop in front of the village or behind it, and a cadre of people could only get drenched in the rain on the road. The icy rain hit the people with a biting chill, and the frozen people shivered.
Ye Yuning's body was wet and cold, and after several days of rain, he had a high fever on the road.
At first, everyone thought that Ye Yuning was just drenched in the rain and infected with wind and cold, and the caravan sold medicinal herbs, and there was already medicine for treating fever and cold, but who knew that Ye Yuning drank the medicine for several days in a row, and the wind and cold were not only not good, but the fever became more and more serious, the cough became more and more severe, his face became more and more pale, he became more and more emaciated, and often coughed up blood.
Wei Qijun was very anxious, there was no village in front of the village, there was no shop in the back, and there was no doctor to be found, so Ye Yuning could only endure by himself.
Ye Yuning's coughing up blood is getting worse and worse, and Wei Qijun has not slept for several days, guarding Ye Yuning day and night. Everyone said that Ye Yuning was dying, Wei Qijun was very angry, his temper became more and more irritable, and he wanted to beat people as soon as he heard the gossip about Ye Yuning.
Wei Qijun finished decocting the medicine and walked into the tent with his hand, he saw Ye Yuning's face was pale, his body was thin, and he was lying on the bed and closed his eyes quietly, looking extremely peaceful.
Wei Qijun's pupils shrank suddenly, and his heart couldn't help but tighten, and the medicine knocked over on the ground, making a crisp sound of "click".
"What's wrong?" Ye Yuning had a terrible headache, weak and had no strength, and after hearing the sound, he slowly opened his eyes and forced himself to sit up.
"It's okay, the medicine just spilled, I'll go boil another bowl."
Wei Qijun secretly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and finally let go of his heart.
"Wei Qi, don't go."
The corners of Ye Yuning's mouth were pale and dry, and he spoke weakly, "Talk to me for a while." ”
Wei Qijun sat on the edge of the bed, let Ye Yuning lean on his arms, and hugged her tightly, as if she would go with the wind as soon as she let go, he didn't dare to let Ye Yuning see his expression, so he chose to sit behind her.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"
Ye Yuning couldn't help coughing, there seemed to be thick phlegm in her throat that couldn't be dissolved, her chest was tight and weak, the corners of her mouth were dry, and she wanted to die of torture.
After coughing, she felt a strong smell of blood in her mouth, Wei Qijun helped her take the spittoon, let her vomit, quickly took it away, and carefully wiped her mouth with a handkerchief.
Ye Yuning lay weakly in Wei Qijun's arms, interlocked his fingers with Wei Qijun, and laughed at himself and pulled out a smile.
"Wei Qi, do you think I'm going to die?"
"Ning Ning, you're just infected with the wind cold, you won't die, don't talk nonsense." Wei Qijun hugged Ye Yuning tightly, and the strings in his heart tightened again.
"Brother, you know what? I've liked you since I was seventeen, and when my dad agreed to marry us, I was so excited, I couldn't sleep all night with excitement, I always imagined what our wedding would be like, I dreamed that day I would wear a fiery wedding dress and complete our wedding with everyone's blessing, and now it seems that I can't wait for that day. ”
"How so?" Wei Qijun's hand holding Ye Yuning tightened a little tighter.
"We said okay, we will go to Yandu to make money, we will return to Sanchuan County in two years, we will rebuild our house, and at that time the mourning period for our godfather will expire, and we will be able to get married, and we will make a lot of money at that time and buy the most beautiful wedding dress for Ningning."
Ye Yuning didn't answer, she couldn't wait for that day, the air seemed to be silent for her, for a long time, Ye Yuning's hoarse voice broke the suffocating silence
"Brother, promise me, no matter what, you must take care of yourself, you will get married in the future, have children, and build your own family."
