CHAPTER XIV
Jinling, which has no greenhouse effect, has a strong autumn flavor, and the air is already cool in September. The 17th of this month is Yang Jinxin's 17th birthday.
Unknowingly, it has been fifteen years since she came to this Republic of China, and she has already adapted to life here, except that she is more comfortable reading than others, she does not feel that she has any sense of superiority over people.
The orphan life experience in the previous life made her character soft with inferiority, these deep-rooted things, this life still follows her, the real country is easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change.
Perhaps, she is still the Yang Jinxin in her previous life in her bones, and the bravest thing she has done in this life is to fall in love with Huo Dong.
Yang Jinxin knew that her mother was just hanging on to her life with medicine, but she was more afraid of the days without relatives than anyone else, if she could, she was willing to exchange her life for the safety and health of her relatives.
On September 16, it was Sunday, Yang Jinxin got up early in the morning, and Yang's mother was also in good spirits, sitting on the bed, personally combing her hair, and braiding her neat buns. Yang Jinxin changed into an autumn dress in a white dress and a green skirt, a young girl at a young age, fresh and moving, like a budding white chrysanthemum.
On previous birthdays, Mother Yang took her and her sister to Lingyun Temple outside the city to worship the Buddha for a year of good health. Since three years ago, she has been the only one left.
After lunch, she carried the incense candle up the mountain alone, and walked up the long stone steps one by one. Lined with green trees on both sides, the dotted wild chrysanthemums poke their heads out of the weeds, and the faint fragrance mixed with the fishy smell of the earth floated in the air.
Yang Jinxin entered the mountain gate, according to the previous practice, incense in front of the Buddha, and kowtowed on the futon, because of her own adventure, she was in infinite awe of the gods.
Everything was ready, and he went out of the hall, and there was an old man at the door who set up a long table to draw lots to tell fortunes, Yang Jinxin passed in front of him, and the old man stopped her.
"Girl, tell your fortune, look at your bones, you must be a blessed person."
Yang Jinxin couldn't help but want to laugh, always felt that he would find a martial arts cheat book from his body, shook his head and smiled: "Since you are a blessed person, there is nothing to count, thank you for your auspicious words."
The old man also shook his head with a smile and said: "The girl's words are wrong, since ancient times, blessings and misfortunes have depended on each other, this is a blessing or a curse, why not count it as a look?"
Yang Jinxin pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Then I'll smoke one!"
The old man smiled and handed her the sticker, held it in his hand, shook it twice, and fell out of one. She picked it up, and on the slender bamboo skewer were two lines of poetry.
Famous flowers love the country, and the king often looks at it with a smile.
Yang Jinxin looked at this stick, was silent for a long time, and the old man called her again and again, "Girl, let me explain it to you!" ”
She hesitated a little, she didn't like the first two lines of these two poems, she didn't like it very much. The old man took out the sign in her hand, shook his head and read it again, and said with a smile: "I will say, the girl is a blessed person, this sign is drawn very well, and she will definitely be the wife of the official family in the future."
Yang Jinxin blushed slightly when he said this, and only thought in his heart that the Huo family was originally an official eunuch, and now that he has gone to the army for training in winter, won't he be an official in the future! She pursed her lips and smiled shyly, put the money on the table, thanked the old man again, and then went down the mountain.
Out of the mountain gate, and down the stone steps, the wind rustles through the trees, the autumn sun is shining, the golden sunlight shines through the branches, and the spots are printed on the bluestone road.
Slowly walking down with her head down, a pair of shiny leather shoes in front of her blocked in front of her, she left it and left, she right and right. She looked up in exasperation, and her breathing stopped for a moment.
The person in front of him stood in front of him with a smile, and under the brim of the military hat was still the handsome face she was familiar with, not seen for more than a month, thinner, and his skin was not as fair as before.
"You...... You big badass! Yang Jinxin blushed, his heart was full of words, rolling around, squeezing out such a sentence.
Huo Donglai smiled brightly, "I rushed back for someone's birthday, and I didn't even go home, so I ended up with such a sentence, ouch, my heart!" ”
Yang Jinxin pouted, and his pink fist landed on his strong chest, "You obviously said that you couldn't come back, so you lied to me." ”
Huo Donglai caught her hand, just wrapped her hand, revealing a burst of warmth, making her face even more burning.
"It's good that you're still wearing it." Huo Donglai's magnetic voice rang in her ears, she raised her hand to brush the broken hair in her ear, and her fingers ran over the hairpin, "Do you miss me?" ”
Yang Jinxin lowered his head, only felt that his heart was beating faster, nodded lightly, and listened to Huo Donglai's gentle voice.
"I miss you, I think about eating, I think about sleeping, I think about you all the time, because I miss you, I almost prescribed the wrong medicine."
Yang Jinxin raised his head and couldn't hide the panic in his eyes, "Then are you okay?" ”
"Naturally, it's fine!" Huo Donglai pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly, eager to embed her into his body.
"You haven't said it yet, do you think I have it?" Huo Donglai was unrelenting, and he had to say it before he was willing.
Yang Jinxin buried his face in his arms, and the sound of urns and urns penetrated into his ears.
"I miss you too!"
Huo Dong couldn't tell the excitement, he only hugged the person in his arms tightly, "Jinxin, we will never be separated, we will always be together!" ”
"Good!"
"I will love you until we are both old."
"Good!"
"I will walk by your hand, and when you can't walk anymore, I will carry you on my back, at the ends of the world, we will also be together."
"Good!"
The two of them hugged each other tightly on this mountain path, eager to grow old in the next second.
Huo Donglai still rode a bicycle and drove Yang Jinxin back to the miscellaneous courtyard, naturally he accompanied Yang's mother to be coquettish and mischievous, and Yang Jinxin went to make dinner. After dinner, the sky was already dark, Yang Jinxin sent Huo Dong out of the alley, and when his figure disappeared into the street, Yang Jinxin turned around and walked back.
"Jinxin!"
The sudden sound startled her, and when she turned around, she saw Yang Jinhuan standing there under the old courtyard wall, hidden in the darkness, unable to see her face clearly.
"Sister?" Yang Jinxin saw that it was her, and happily ran over and grabbed her hand, "Why are you back?" ”
The cold moonlight shone on Yang Jinhuan's faint smiling face, revealing a faint alienation, "I'm here to find you to get a new song." ”
"Huh?" Yang Jinxin frowned and looked at her puzzledly, "It's only been a month since the last song was released, so soon?" I wasn't prepared. ”
A year ago, in order to let her sister get out of the life of a dancer and simply be a singer, Yang Jinxin selected some suitable songs that were familiar in her previous life and sang them for her sister. Externally, it is from her originality, and the music crosses the boundaries of time and space, and in this Republic of China, which is different from history, it can also make her unique.
"Now, the guests are getting more and more picky, and today the manager said that the guests said by name that they wanted to write a song for him personally, and I could only come to you."
For some reason, Yang Jinxin always felt that when her sister said this, she was trembling slightly, and her palms were cold.
Yang Jinxin saw that she was still wearing a short-sleeved cheongsam, and lowered her head to rub her hands for her, "Why are your hands so cold?" It's autumn, remember to add clothes, you are alone outside, and no one reminds you, what should you do if you are sick? ”
As soon as the words fell, Yang Jinhuan withdrew his hand suddenly, his body shrank back slightly, and he couldn't stop trembling.
"What's wrong with you? Is it cold? Yang Jin anxiously pulled her, "Come into the house, I'll give you the clothes......"
"No...... Don't ......" Yang Jinhuan shook his head, stepped back in panic, and only muttered, "I...... I...... I'll get the song......"
When Yang Jinxin saw her appearance, her worry overwhelmed the surprise in her heart, and she hurriedly went to pull her, "Okay, I'll help you write a song, let's go home and get dressed first!" ”
Yang Jinhuan held her hand tightly, looked at her with flustered eyes, and said incoherently, "Let's go back to the apartment now, and we'll go right away...... Go right away...... It's late...... It's too late...... It's too late......"
"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Yang Jinxin was more and more surprised by her sister's attitude, grabbed her shoulder, and her heart was messy, "How can it be too late?" What happened? ”
Yang Jinxin shook her shoulder, Yang Jinhuan gasped, her trembling body gradually stabilized, her eyes gradually became clearer, and her pale face under the moonlight slowly gained a hint of color.
"I ...... Too nervous...... This song...... It's too urgent......"
"Is that all?" Yang Jinxin looked at her sister suspiciously, and the doubts in her heart surged up one by one.
Yang Jinhuan, who has regained her look, has become the same elegant person again.
"I can't go home like this, you come to the apartment with me, I'm going to sing tomorrow!"
Yang Jinxin looked at her sister's completely different attitude before and after, is she really just worried about the new song? Yang Jin's beautiful eyes flashed slightly, and his heart was already turning a thousand times.
In the end, he dispelled the doubts in his heart and nodded: "That...... You wait for me here, I'll talk to my mother. ”
"Good!"
Yang Jinhuan rubbed the silk handkerchief, her teeth chattered, only to feel that the sweat had already wet her thin cheongsam, and finally made up her mind, turned around and ran towards the mouth of the alley.
"Sister, you wait for me!" But it was Yang Jinxin who came out of the courtyard again, and when she saw her hurriedly walking out, she hurriedly trotted to catch up.
Yang Jinhuan stopped abruptly, just waiting for her to catch up, hurriedly walked out of the alley, and hailed a rickshaw on Shunde Street.
The rickshaw driver ran towards the Lijing apartment, and Yang Jinxin held her sister's hand to comfort her, "Don't worry, as long as you tell me the story of that guest, I will definitely be able to write a new song for you." ”
Yang Jinhuan only looked at her blindly, and it took a long time before he spoke, "Jinxin, what if...... I mean, what would you do if you were to be separated from Donglai? ”
"Why does my sister ask that?" Yang Jinxin faintly red again, "Donglai and I will never be separated." ”
As she spoke, she shyly lowered her head and began to talk to her sister about today's events. She wants to share her beautiful love with her family who cares and loves her.
"Sister, do you know? I went to the temple today to draw lots, and the sign also said that we would be together, hehe...... Sister, I'm so happy, so happy...... As long as I can be with Donglai, I can ...... anything."
Yang Jinhuan looked at Yang Jinxin's appearance, revealing a wry smile, her hand holding the silk handkerchief tightly, and began to tremble again.
Yang Jinxin was still softly telling about the interesting things she and Huo Donglai had experienced together since childhood.
For some reason, Huo Donglai has always preferred to play with his sister, and often ignores his sister. Perhaps since that time, little Huo Donglai has already had his own thoughts.
Along the way, Yang Jinxin intermittently said what Yang Jinhuan knew or didn't know, and the frosty moonlight couldn't hide the shy flush on her face.
Yang Jinhuan has been looking at her quietly, this is her sister, the innocence she has always wanted to protect.
She watched her grow up, with outstanding talent, and with her lover, she will always live happily ever after.
Let this self who has fallen into the abyss continue to sink!
"Miss, it's here!" The rickshaw driver's hoarse voice interrupted Yang Jinhuan's train of thought. She steadied herself, got out of the car quickly, and stuffed her back into the car before Yang Jinxin could react.
"You go quickly, go immediately, you go to find Donglai, let him take you away immediately, go as far as he can."
Yang Jin looked at his sister with a heart, and couldn't react for a long time, so he only shouted in panic: "Sister...... Sister ......"
Yang Jinhuan ignored her, looked around, stuffed the money into the coachman's hand, and hurriedly urged the coachman: "Go back the same way, hurry up, go immediately!"
The coachman lifted the car again, turned his head, Yang Jinxin grabbed the handrail and leaned out half of his body, looking back at his sister's curly figure standing on the side of the street, her fair and beautiful face melted into the frost-white moonlight, revealing a stunning and decisive beauty.
"Sister......
Yang Jinxin shouted loudly, the rickshaw driver ran very fast, she didn't have time to hear her sister's answer, the car had already turned the corner, only the cold white moonlight remained, and her sister could no longer be seen.
Yang Jinhuan watched the rickshaw run away, breathed a long sigh of relief, his heavy and flustered heart finally calmed down completely, and two lines of tears unconsciously slipped down his face.
"Miss Lily!"
She turned around in a panic, only to see the man who had come out of the darkness, his cold eyes only fixed on her, and his heart palpitated indescribably.
Fear flooded her heart like a tidal wave, her heart was bound, it beat in great pain, she made earth-shattering sounds, and she staggered and collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath and unable to speak.
