The old woman stepped forward and pulled Twelve into the house, helped her take off her shoes, covered her with a quilt, and sat on the edge of the bed, humming an unknown ballad.

With the tone of the old woman's voice, the twelve eyelids grew heavier, and finally closed uncontrollably.

She had a dream, the night breeze in the dream smiled at her, and the two of them wandered freely and calmly between the mountains and rivers, so unhappy.

But in the next moment, the night breeze beside him turned into a bird mound, and he smiled and waved the lightsaber in his hand towards him.

Twelve was so frightened that he tried to push him away, but Torizuka turned back into the night breeze.

Ye Qingfeng looked at her with a look of grievance and asked, "Twelve, are you going to push me away?" Are you going to leave me? Do you know how long I've been looking for you? ”

Twelve's movements paused, and Night Breeze's warm smile suddenly became hideous, and Jie Ji smiled and stabbed the lightsaber into her heart.

The dream came to an abrupt end, and the Twelve Sweaty woke up from the dream.

"Don't! Don't-" The Twelve gasped for breath, looking at the simple blue floret quilt in front of him before remembering that he was still at the old woman's house in Lujia Village.

But the dream was so real that she had to be afraid.

Twelve hates the feeling of being dominated by fear.

At this time, it was already sunset outside the window, and she didn't know how long she had been asleep, so she lifted the quilt and got out of bed.

When she saw the shoes, she thought that it was the old woman who helped her take off the shoes last night, and helped her to the bed, and she felt something and walked outside the house.

The old woman was sitting at the door, as she had been yesterday, with a vegetable bowl in front of her picking vegetables.

Twelve stepped forward and began to help, while greeting the old woman: "Mother-in-law, why do you sit at the door every day to pick vegetables?" ”

The old woman saw that she was in good spirits, and replied with a smile: "I am waiting for my son and daughter-in-law to come back, and I can see them as soon as I sit at the door." ”

For twenty-five years, the old woman waited like this for twenty-five years, day after day, rain or shine.

Twelve was a little sad, and asked tentatively, "Haven't you thought that your son and daughter-in-law can't come back?" ”

The old woman's hand picking vegetables paused slightly, she shook her head and sighed: "Why are there so many entanglements in life, as long as people live, they always need to have a rush, they want to see people die and see corpses, I haven't seen them for a day, I can wait one more day with hope, isn't this a good thing for me?" ”

Yes, if it was true that her loved one died, the old woman would be grief-stricken, but if she waited with hope in mind, she might be able to wait for the day when she could be reunited with her family.

The old woman's words woke up twelve, and she smiled and said to the old woman, "Mother-in-law, thank you for taking me in, I should also go on my way." ”

After speaking, she took out a large silver ticket from her arms and stuffed it into the old woman's hand: "I don't have anything else to give you, this is a little bit of my heart, you can take it." ”

The old woman saw that it was a silver ticket of 1,000 taels, and hurriedly excused herself: "This can't work, you have more places to walk outside with money, I have everything here, you don't have to worry about it, you can take it back." ”

But Twelve insisted on giving her: "If you don't accept my heart, I'll be angry!" ”

Seeing this, the old woman had no choice but to take her, nodded and said, "Okay, okay!" I'll take it, aren't you in a hurry to leave? ”

Twelve shook his head: "Don't worry, what's wrong?" ”

"You wait a minute." The old woman wiped her hands on her apron and went inside.

Taking advantage of this, Twelve led the horse to the door, where he waited for her.

After a while, the old woman came out with a burden in her hand, she put the heavy burden on the saddle and said: "Mother-in-law has nothing good, I have prepared these dry food for you to eat on the road, and there is clean water in the kettle, you little girl don't take the path, if you don't want to take the big road, you can take the official road, just walk along the entrance of Lujia Village to the right, you know?" ”

Twelve felt that the old woman in front of her seemed to be telling her son who was traveling far away, maybe she sent her son away like this, she left, the old woman was alone again, the overwhelming loneliness and loneliness, how did she survive?

Twelve couldn't help but hug the old woman and called, "Mother-in-law-"

The old woman saw her thoughts, patted her on the back and comforted: "It's okay, I've been used to it for so many years, you have your own affairs, you can't delay here because of me, it's just that I have something to ask you for, old woman." ”

Twelve stood up straight and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes: "You said, as long as I can do it, I will do it for you!" ”

The old woman hesitated for a while, then took out a piece of red paper from her pocket and said to Twelve: "Girl, I don't know what your name is, but this is a piece of paper with my name and birth date written on it, if you have time to pass by Lujia Village in the future, come to me to have a look, if——"

Speaking of this, she choked up for a moment before continuing: "If you find that my wife and I are dead, help me build a grave and a monument in this courtyard, and help bury me." ”

Twelve didn't know what to say when he heard the words.

Perhaps before today, the old woman had already anticipated the scene of no one to collect the body and send it to the end after her death, exposing the corpse in the wilderness.

She was a little sad, such a good person, lost all his relatives, why he still couldn't get a good death, why fate was so unfair.

"Okay, mother-in-law, I promise you, I will definitely come to see you." The twelve strong held back their tears and agreed, and put the red paper in a thoughtful place.

The old woman seemed to have a heartfelt matter, and breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, okay, you go on the road, be careful on the road." ”

Twelve took a deep breath and led the horse to turn around to leave, when she turned her head and saw the old woman still standing there watching her.

Twelve waved at her: "Old woman, my name is Twelve!" ”

The old woman in the distance smiled at her and waved her hand away, probably the last person in her life.

Twelve who left Lujia Village was a little heavy, she led the horse and walked on the pipeline that the old woman said, seeing that the road was better than the big road, she knew that the old woman was really kind.

Thinking of this, she opened the burden that the old woman had given her, and there were a few pancakes wrapped in oiled paper, as well as a whole piece of braised pork and two eggs.

Twelve touched the food that was still warm, and his heart was warm.

To her surprise, there were 1,000 taels of silver tickets she gave to the old woman next to the oil paper, as well as the jade scroll painting.

She covered her mouth and almost cried, the old woman really had no desires, maybe her appearance had burned out the last ray of light in her life.
