Chapter 3 This is Home

Luo Yun was awakened by the cold, curled up, wrapped in a thin quilt on his body. Helplessly, the cool air hit from all directions, and I opened my hazy eyes and looked. Aunt Mei is gone, and the stove next to the bed has been extinguished. Look at the window, it's just a little bit of light. Luo Yun, who was not sleepy, endured the cold and got up. I got up and looked at it, and found that there was no other clothes except the layer of underwear I was wearing. Helplessly, it was really cold, so Luo Yun wrapped the quilt around his body, just wrapped the quilt, and looked down. I didn't see a pair of shoes anywhere, it seemed that I had been lying down for a long time, and the shoes were all put away.

Yes, I can't get up even if I want to, Luo Yun is hesitating what to do. I heard a 'squeak', the door of the room was pushed open, and Aunt Mei walked in with a bowl, bending down to put it on the table. habitually glanced at the bed, and when she saw Luo Yun sitting there wrapped in a quilt, Aunt Mei was stunned for a moment. The hand holding the bowl seemed to freeze, and the little thumb had touched the table with its fingertips, but it did not put it down. Luo Yun was a little embarrassed, and opened his mouth to call out "Aunt Mei".

This sound woke up Aunt Mei, and she put the bowl in her hand on the table in a panic, walked quickly to the bed, and hugged Luo Yun. Although tears flowed out of excitement, they did not cry like yesterday. "Brother Yun, you have woken up, thank you to the Sanqing Daozun and thank the Buddha. It's good to wake up, it's good to wake up......" Feeling this concern again, Luo Yun couldn't help but think of his mother in his previous life, his eyes were sour but he couldn't hold back his tears, leaned on Aunt Mei's arms, stretched out his hand and patted Aunt Mei gently: "Aunt Mei, it's okay, Luo Yun is fine, there will be nothing to do in the future......"

Aunt Mei cried for a while, and finally relieved herself. Helped Luo Yun up and looked at it carefully, his face was still a little sickly pale, and his body looked very thin because he had been sick for so long, but his eyes were full of spirit. It's no longer the same as before, and you can't see any sparkle even when you open your eyes. After making sure that Luo Yun was good, Aunt Mei nodded with relief, and said with disgust in her mouth: "Be a good person, look at what you have been tossed into." Yun'er, you can't scare Aunt Mei anymore. ”

"Well, Luo Yun won't. Aunt Mei will find me some clothes, and shoes, I want to go down to the ground for a walk."

"Hey, look at my brain, the stove is out, it's cold, right? Wait for Aunt Mei to bring you a fur fur to put on. Don't go to the ground yet, my corn porridge. I've been sick for so long, how can I have the strength to walk without eating. After speaking, Aunt Mei wrapped the quilt in Luo Yun again. Getting up and going to the black wooden box next to the wall to find a black fur coat in the style of a beard, Luo Yun glanced at it and was startled. This is obviously sewn from some kind of animal skin, such a big piece, it can't be a bear, right? As Aunt Mei unfolded the fur, Luo Yun was stunned to see the appearance of a complete black bear skin, the position of the bear's head was sewn into a hood, such a bear skin covered the body, and it really looked like a bear from a distance.

The wood was rekindled, and the brazier was burned again. Luo Yun gradually warmed up and put on a new pair of cloth shoes that Aunt Mei took out. Slowly stood up, her legs and feet were indeed a little sore, and she stood with Aunt Mei for a long time, feeling that her legs had strength, so Aunt Mei hugged her and walked to the table and sat down cross-legged on the straw mat. "There are no chairs in this era......" sighed in his heart. refused to let Aunt Mei feed her, Luo Yun held the bowl and drank it one by one.

Aunt Mei sat aside and watched Luo Yunneng eat by herself, feeling relieved, and secretly wiped away the tears that were about to fall from the corners of her eyes. Luo Yun's face was tender in his previous life, and he was slightly uncomfortable being stared at like this. opened his mouth to divert Aunt Mei's attention: "Aunt Mei, I've been sick for so long, I've been groggy all the time, what's going on at home?" ”

When Aunt Mei heard this, her face darkened, and she began to tell little by little what had happened in the past half a year: "Your father's and mother's funeral affairs are handled by the clan, keep the spirit, and I will let Mu'er go for you at the funeral." You were sick like that, and the old people in the clan could understand it, so they didn't say anything. ”

Luo Yun heard this and understood in his heart. The Chinese nation attaches great importance to filial piety, and filial piety comes first. Even the emperors and prime ministers in the court did not dare to make a slight difference in filial piety to their families. Both parents died, and the wake, funeral, and everything else should be done by his son. But he was unconscious at the time, and no one else could force him to do these things. This etiquette came according to the hour, and it was impossible to wait for him to wake up. "Brother Mu, I've worked hard, Aunt Mei helped me prepare, and I will take me to kowtow to my father's grave in a while." ”

"You can do it if you have this heart, but you don't have to rush it one day. Your body is just right, it's freezing outside, don't toss and get sick. Wait for a few days, and when the New Year's Day comes, let's go to worship together. As for Mu'er, the old lady is the same to you and him. Even if you are awake, I have to let him give filial piety to the old lady. ”

Luo Yun smiled slightly, lowered his head and continued to drink porridge, Aunt Mei paused and continued: "It turns out that the family title deeds that your father is in charge of have been asked to go back by your grandfathers these days, and now they are in the hands of your second uncle." Those that didn't belong to our family in the first place, and we are not rare. It should be our land, and they can't take any of it. Yesterday, your Uncle Wu also brought back a message that he wanted you to participate in the clan meeting and choose a new patriarch. I guess they're afraid you'll have something to think for you to hear. Brother Yun, listen to Aunt Mei, we don't have to fight with them for the things on this mountain, and we don't need them to help plant the land. With your Uncle Wu and Mu'er here, our family can still be the same as before. At worst, the things your mother left you can also make you live more nourishing than them! ”

Aunt Mei said this with a bit of gritted teeth, and Luo Yun didn't know the situation. However, I understand that he is half an adult at his age in the Tang Dynasty, and he can take on some family responsibilities. His father was the patriarch, and he used to manage some of the common assets of the clan, and the land was also farmed with the help of the clan. But now that his father is dead, these are naturally gone, and the old people in the clan are probably worried that he will quarrel with them without reason. And listening to the meaning of Aunt Mei's words, they may think that they are just sick and dead, although Uncle Wu and Aunt Mei are like one with their family. But after all, he is not a person of the same clan and clan, and if he dies, these inheritances that originally belonged to his father will naturally be taken back by the clan.

Luo Yun didn't want to use any utilitarian heart to speculate about the woman next to him who was sad and crying for himself, he could feel that Aunt Mei's family of three really cared about him and respected his parents. If this concern is a little false...... If he didn't really respect him, how could he still call him such an ordinary village boy 'young master' when he 'couldn't hear'?

I opened my mouth and subconsciously took a breath, and suddenly found that the bowl was empty. Aunt Mei, who had been paying attention to Luo Yun, immediately took the bowl: "There is still one in the pot, I'll go and serve it to you again" After speaking, she got up and went to the stove room.

Luo Yun wanted to stand up and walk around and let the blood circulate. After standing up, I realized that the fur coat was too big and fell to the ground a lot, but it looked really unusual. Luo Yun walked to the window and pushed open a crack, and the cold wind blew in. shivered from the cold, and quickly pulled his coat to cover his chest tightly. Looking out of the window, it turned out that this family was not as poor as he thought. Originally, he saw Aunt Mei's family staying in the house last night, and Luo Yun thought that their house was his big house. Unexpectedly, on both sides of his room, there were two other wooden houses with opposite doors open, and there was also a house in front of it, which was all made of bricks and stones, not a civil structure like other houses, and it was estimated that it was the main hall. The small backyard of his house is estimated to be more than fifty square meters, and looking at the width of this yard, Luo Yun estimates that there is another house next to his house. In the front hall and backyard, it is not easy to have such a house in the middle of this deep mountain.

When you look up into the distance, you will see the white and black mountains. The white ones are the snow and stones that haven't melted, and the black ones are the trees and the earth. I couldn't see anything but the mountains. In this way, his home should be halfway up the mountain or at the bottom of the mountain. However, listening to what Aunt Mei said, the place where Luo Yun lives seems to be called Lijiazhai. The picture of the soul gradually blurred, and the more Luo Yun thought about it, the faster he forgot it, which also showed that he was quickly integrating into this life.

As soon as Luo Yun came to a conclusion about herself, Aunt Mei pushed the door and came in, and when she saw Luo Yun standing in front of the window, she hurriedly stepped forward and pulled him back and closed the window. With a strange look in his mouth, he brought Luo Yun back to the table and handed over the bowl. Luo Yun laughed, saying that the room was full of breath, and under Aunt Mei's concerned eyes, she snorted and drank a bowl of porridge. Then he proposed that he wanted to walk in the yard, but Aunt Mei didn't allow it, so Luo Yun said that he wanted to take a look at his father's house. Aunt Mei sighed, tightened Luo Yun's coat again, and took Luo Yun out of the house.

It turned out that Luo Yun's room was next to his father's room, but it was locked. Aunt Mei took out a key from her arms, stepped forward to open the copper lock, pushed open the door and walked in first. Luo Yun also raised his heel and went in.

Thinking that it was because of the long time of not living there, the room seemed very cold, so Luo Yun couldn't help but shrink his neck, grabbed the fur fur with his hand, and then looked at the room. It is about the same size as his room of more than 20 square meters, and it seems that Aunt Mei has been cleaning it every day, and she can't see a little dust. On the wall facing the door hangs a carved woodcut panel, on which there is only one large letter: "Home". Luo Yun doesn't seem to be able to write in this life, so he can't see anything good or bad, but he can see that this character is mellow and tender, and it should be written by a woman. I guess it was written by his mother who had never seen it. His eyes swept over the furnishings in the room, with pen stands and long bookcases with ink inkstones; Next to the bookcase, there is also a small bookshelf stacked with stacks of paper rolls and porcelain vases. At the other end of the room is the couch, in front of which is a paulownia carved screen with flowers in all seasons, and curtains are hung on both sides. There was a dresser on one side of the window, with a copper mirror on it, and a large cabinet against the wall on this side.

Luo Yun walked to the desk and casually picked up a stack of papers full of words on the table. It's amazing to find that I know everything, and I rubbed my fingers a few times, but I felt as if I really didn't know how to hold a pen and write, which was strange. Don't think about this, carefully look at the delicate plum blossom characters in front of you, neatly stacked on the blank plain paper. I slowly read the content and found that it was the first article of a thousand-character text: Heaven and earth are yellow, and the universe is desolate; The sun and the moon are full of sun, and the sun and the moon are full of sun; Cold comes and summer, autumn harvest and winter storage; Leap Yu Cheng Sui Lu Tiaoyang; The clouds cause the rain and dew to turn into frost...... The next piece is the entire thousand-character essay, which should not have come and bound after it was written.

Look at a few scrolls on the bookshelf, they are "Hundred Family Names", "Persuasion", "Tao Te Ching", etc., all of which are enlightenment books and a collection of poems. In recent years, most of the books are still in the form of scrolls, and they have not completely departed from the habit of bamboo slips, and they are not used to reading. Luo Yun flipped through it and found that the fonts were all the same, and it seemed that they were all written by his mother's own handwriting. It seems that his mother is still very talented. There was no other font, that is to say, no of his father's handwriting. I guess I am either illiterate or embarrassed to write in front of my wife. Thinking of this, the corners of Luo Yun's mouth couldn't help but show a hint of a smile, and then put it away. Anyway, it's not good to laugh at your own father. Then he thought of himself, a little dumbfounded, he knew the whole text, but he couldn't write it, and he hadn't memorized it. Thinking about it, he was sure he didn't have the contents of these books in his head.

Carefully put the scroll back on the shelf, turned around and saw the round bronze mirror decorated with bird patterns on the dresser, Luo Yun's heart moved, and he walked over. I don't know what I look like in this life, I see that my arms and legs are very thin when I eat, even if he is young, but compared with Mu'er of the same age, he is really thin. His hands are very fair, not like a farmer's child, he doesn't look like he has done any work at all, and his fingers are slender. This is the same as in his previous life, but he doesn't know what he looks like......

The clarity of the current copper mirror is definitely not comparable with later generations, it is more similar to the concave and convex mirror, which highlights the details of the face through mirroring, which is still very convenient for women's makeup. Luo Yun moved to the mirror, although the mirror was blurry and glowed with a brassy light. But I could still see that the face in the mirror was white. The facial lines are very soft, but the facial features are clear, the upper part is angular, the nose bridge is thin and straight, and the nose wings are like beads. A pair of eyes, not big or small, but every contour line between the eyebrows and eyes looks so clear as if carved with a knife and an axe. Despite this, it is not as hard and rough as Uncle Wu and Mu'er, it only makes people feel meticulous. His eyes are a little lazy, slightly revealing some brilliance, which is more like him in his previous life, lined with smooth skin and soft facial contours, only his facial features are becoming more and more exquisite.

Looking at his appearance, Luo Yun was a little speechless, neither sunny and handsome, nor feminine and handsome. There's a strange sense of righteousness, like ...... This mountain has not only the rigid lines of the rock, but also the smoothness and softness of the stream and spring, and the rigidity and softness of the mountain are naturally fused together to form the beauty of the mountain. All in all, this appearance is still worthy of the audience, and it is conspicuous in the crowd when it stands out.

Luo Yun touched his face, although he didn't look beautiful, but with his sick appearance, he really gave people a feminine feeling. "Aunt Mei, do I look more like my father or my mother?" Luo Yun regretted it as soon as he spoke, I heard Aunt Mei say last night that she was not born to her father, I'm afraid it doesn't look like anyone. Aunt Mei felt a little strange when she saw Luo Yun standing in front of the mirror for a long time, and when she heard Luo Yun's question, she couldn't help but be stunned, thinking: The young master is still thinking about his father. "Everyone says Yun'er, you have to look like a lady, but your eyes are like a master."

Hearing Aunt Mei's answer, Luo Yun couldn't help but smile. It seems that the problem of growing up so big has also been studied by many people. Just thinking about it, I heard the sound of the courtyard door in front of me, and then the sound of footsteps came, "Mu'er damn it, the hare is back." Hurry up and pick it up. Hearing this rough voice, Luo Yun knew that Uncle Wu was back. Without waiting for Aunt Mei to answer, Luo Yun walked out of the room quickly, standing at the door and looking at the two strong men who walked into the backyard.

"Uncle Wu, Brother Mu"

Seeing Luo Yun standing there and greeting him, Uncle Wu and Mu'er were stunned for a moment, and only after a long time did they shout: "Young Master (Brother Yun)!" The father and son hurriedly threw down the things in their hands and surrounded them, standing beside Luo Yun, and they were so happy that they didn't know where to put their hands. Aunt Mei still couldn't look past it, so she came over and asked the father and son to drive away, and asked them to clean up their bodies first. Then he dragged Luo Yun back to the original room and sat by the fire. Aunt Mei poured Luo Yun a glass of water, let him rest, and turned around to go to the room to clean up the game that Uncle Wu and they brought back.

sat in the room for a while, listening to Aunt Mei's family happily communicating in the room. In fact, Uncle Wu asked Aunt Mei about Luo Yun's wake up, and when he heard Luo Yun drink two large bowls of porridge, Uncle Wu's happy laughter was heard clearly. Luo Yun couldn't sit still, so he got up and wanted to join in the fun. As soon as he stood up, he saw Mu'er push the door and walk in, and saw Luo Yun showing a simple smile: "Brother Yun, your fourth uncle has come to see you."
