10. Sleep
Liang Qian and they stayed at the guest house, and they had to play early in the morning the next day and then go back, and Ru Sanshui took Ah Bao home.
The master who drove the car was an old buddy of the Liang family, and somehow, he should be about to arrive at the Liang family, but he seemed to be still in the wilderness. When he arrived home for a long time, Ah Bao couldn't help but say, "Sister, I want to be relieved." ”
Ru Sanshui saw that Ah Bao was very anxious, beckoned the coachman to stop, and told Ah Bao: "Just over here on the grass, don't go far, come back quickly, it's already dark." ”
Po nodded, Ru Sanshui helped him out of the carriage, and he walked into the bushes and weeds on the side of the road. Ru Sanshui looked around, it was spring at this time, and the trees should be lush, but I don't know if it was because of the late night, it looked very gloomy. The full moon rises from the east, and there are few stars in the sky, and even the moonlight makes people feel a little bleak.
Ru Sanshui: "Master, where is this, why haven't you arrived at Liangjiaqu yet?"
The coachman jumped out of the car, looked back and forth, and wiped the sweat on his forehead: "I know, it's dark, I didn't notice the fork before, and our carriage is far away." ”
"Master, you have been doing foot work in the Liang family for many years, and no one should be more familiar with you than you. Why did you take so many detours today?"
The driver sat back in the car: "I don't know, it's a little evil." ”
Bao came back soon, the carriage set off again, this time there was no fork, and after a while, Ru Sanshui saw the familiar county road section. It should be that he was tired from playing this day, and after Ah Bao was relieved, he fell asleep on Ru Sanshui's lap.
When I returned to Liang's house, it was already late at night, and all the courtyards and households had already fallen asleep. There are still lights on in the main hall of the ancestral hall, and Ru Sanshui looks for the lights to go to the ancestral hall. To her surprise, it was Liang Yunshu who was waiting for the two to come back, and Mr. Shi Jun also accompanied her and never slept.
"Bao'er, you're back. Daddy said that you must be staying at the guest house, but I said no, you promised to bring Bao back in the evening, and you will not change your mind. ”
"I'm sorry, sister, we got off the road and came back late. You must be particularly worried about Po. Ru Sanshui hugged Ah Bao and whispered.
Liang Yunshu took over the sleeping Bao: "It's okay, you go back to rest early, my father and mother have rested early, and I'll take Bao back to our room tonight." ”
The weather is getting warmer and warmer, Ru Sanshui just changed the thin quilt, she hastily washed and slept wrapped in a new quilt, she should have slept comfortably, but this night Ru Sanshui did not sleep very steadily.
She dreamed of the past over and over again, dreaming that your parents were lulling her to sleep before the collapse. There are also some dreams, which seem to be what she is doing, but they are so vigorous and resolute, and they are not like her temperament.
Finally, she dreamed of a floating picture scroll, which slowly unfolded in front of her. At the top of the scroll is the gods sitting in mercy, in the middle is a depiction of mortals walking the world, and below is the evil spirits running through hell, and the raging karmic fire of reincarnation entangles the evil spirits, and the fire burns from the lower end of hell to the human world and spreads to the heavenly realm. She knew she had seen the pattern, but she couldn't remember it in her dreams.
The fire in the painting burned to the outside of the painting, and the scorching breath made her feel very irritable, and she hoped that the gods would rain down on her, but the gods still sat so calmly, looking at the world with compassion, as if this fire should have raged so much until it burned all living things.
Ru Sanshui stretched out his hand to extinguish the fire, but suddenly found that his hands were turning to ashes. She immediately woke up from her dream.
When she woke up, it was still dark, and she barely squinted for a while. She felt that the quilt was exposed to too much sun and was a little dry, so she had such a dream. Since she got up, she has not been in a good state all day, and she has been in a daze.
Liang Qian didn't come to her after he came back, and neither did Ah Bao. Until the afternoon, Liang Yunshu anxiously found Ru Sanshui.
"Do you know what's wrong with Po? He's been asleep all the time today, and he hasn't woken up until now. My father and mother have asked for a doctor, but the doctor has no choice. ”
Ru Sanshui broke out in a cold sweat, and suddenly his mind cleared up a lot: "What do you mean that you haven't woken up until now?"
"I thought he was tired and it would be okay to let him sleep all morning, so I didn't call him to get up. I went out at noon, and when I came back in the afternoon, I thought I could see him playing in the yard, but A-Niang said that Ah Bao had not been able to wake up, there was no fever, and the doctor who invited him also said that the pulse was good, and he was not sick or poisoned. A-Niang checked that there was no injury on his body, nothing happened, but he was still sleeping, and he couldn't wake up no matter how he shouted. ”
Liang Yunshu clenched Ru Sanshui's hand: "Bao'er, I really don't know what to do before I came to ask you...... Did he touch something bad yesterday?"
"Bad things?" Ru Sanshui lowered his head and thought desperately: "Halva, he and I both ate it, and cherries, and all three of us ate it...... There are no bad things in the temple, and the itinerary is always the same...... Itinerary?"
Ru Sanshui raised his head violently: "When I got lost yesterday, Ah Bao got out of the car and relieved himself. Could it be that you saw something dirty at that time......"
The more she thought about it, the more convinced she became, only at that time Ah Bao was not in her sight, and tears flowed out of her eyes at once: "What should I do, sister, what should I do, it's me who is wrong, I should let him endure it first...... The drivers in that place all said it was evil, how could I not feel it at all......"
Liang Yunshu was also flustered, but he also comforted Ru Sanshui: "Don't worry, don't worry, if there is such a possibility, we will go and ask Grandpa and let Fang Shi exorcise evil spirits." ”
Ah Bao has been sent to his mother's room, that is, Mrs. Liang's second master, and Ru Sanshui followed Liang Yunshu to see Ah Bao. The second lady sat in the hall, her clothes were plain but graceful and luxurious, and her demeanor was still very dignified at the age of forty, but her face looked a little haggard than Liang Yunshu. When she saw them coming, she pulled Liang Yunshu aside to ask.
Po slept there, breathing steadily, her face was ruddy, and she even looked at ease in her dreams. Ru Sanshui walked into the back room, sat on the side of the bed, and took his little hand, which was warm and soft, and everything looked fine. She shook Ah Bao and called, "Little man, it's time to get up, didn't you still say that you want to play with your sister?"
Po didn't make a sound, just fell asleep quietly, breathing long. At this time, his ruddy complexion was in Ru Sanshui's eyes, which normally made her feel weird.
The second lady walked in and stood in front of Ru Sanshui, they looked at each other, and the second lady raised her hand and gave Ru Sanshui a slap.
Liang Yunshu exclaimed: "Mother?" She hurriedly ran into the inner room and pulled up Ru Sanshui.
Ru Sanshui pursed her lips, gently pushed Liang Yunshu's hand away, lowered her head, tears fell on the tender green uppers, and faded into dark green flowers, she whispered: "Uncle." ”
The second lady took a deep breath and tried her best to keep her tone as steady as possible: "Have you seen Yun Nan's appearance? Why do you still have the face to call my aunt? Just let you go out with Yun Nan for a day, and you took him back late at night, and even let him drill wild grass in the wilderness alone, and he didn't know what evil things he encountered, so he slept all day." Let me ask you, if he can't wake up from now on, what kind of face do you have to continue to stay in the Liang family?"
Liang Yunshula's mother's arm, wanting to persuade something, was also brushed away. The second lady was still suppressing her anger, and her voice was already a little shaky: "The daughter of the Liang family who married out is no longer a member of the Liang family, and you are a wild seed that you picked up from nowhere, how can you have the face to call my aunt?" Because the old man Liang favors you, you really hope to be able to rely on this blessing, and you can turn around if you commit any wrong thing, even the grandson of the old man, Liang Yunnan, can not be careful, can you compare to the character of your surname?"
Ru Sanshui also trembled, and didn't dare to refute a word. Yu Guang looked at Po, this well-behaved and cute, the most clingy child on weekdays. The more she thought about it, the more guilty she became, and she knelt down as soon as her heart moved: "It's my fault, it's all my fault, Ah Bao, he will definitely wake up, he will be fine...... If he can't wake up, then I'...... Then I'm ......"
She wanted to say, then I will leave the Liang family, this is too light, and I want to say, then I will accompany Ah Bao, or atone for my wife as a slave and a maid, no matter how I say it, I don't think it is appropriate, I can't say it clearly for a while, and I am so anxious that tears fall even more: "I'll go to my grandfather, invite Fang Shi to come, I will definitely be able to save Ah Bao's ......"
Second Master Liang's cold voice came from the door: "It's not your turn." ”
