Pushing open the old wooden door in the Mei family's courtyard that was mottled and painted, and there were two fingers wide in the crack of the door, unlike Master Zhou's reluctant and aggrieved mentality, Mei Ruojun was much more relaxed and settled, after all, this is where she was born and raised, her home.

She and Cuiliu cleaned their parents' bedroom and let Master Zhou live in it, she and Cuiliu lived in the bedroom that they originally shared with their sister Ruoli, and Zhou Fu and Shu Zhi lived in the small wing room in the west.

There are a few more tablets on the small god table in the living room of Mei's house, Mrs. Zhou, Ruian and Xunmei's tablets, at the suggestion of Master Zhou, and the tablets of Magpie Xi were added, Mei Ruojun lit a pillar of incense, bowed three times, and said silently to his father Mei Xuefei's spiritual position, his father did not see his son-in-law before his death, and now he should be able to meet in the underworld.

She changed into filial piety clothes again, there was no fat powder and no expression on her pale face, and she just stared at the row of small wooden cards on the god table every day, without saying a word, no one knew what she was thinking.

Zhou Fu ran around every day, trying to recover some rent as early as possible to cope with the expenses, but people were panicked, running away, running away, many shops closed and closed. In the end, he finally accepted two families, and he himself found a coolie in a rice shop opened by a distant relative, and advanced a month's salary before he uncovered the pot.

Ruojun, who returned to the Mei family, although he was poor again, was also free again. In order to supplement the family, she brought a few newly embroidered embroideries to Mrs. Chen's small grocery store, and when she stood in front of this old three-story building again, it was really like a world away. Mrs. Chen was stunned for a long time when she saw her standing at the door in filial piety clothes, and hurriedly welcomed her in.

She was expressionless, silently walked up the small staircase that would "creak", and came to the small attic, Mrs. Chen followed behind and sighed: "Ahem, when Mr. Zhou came, you also had such an expression, without saying a word, gave me a large sum of money, walked up, sat for a while and left." These days, I will keep this attic for you, and I will clean and clean it for you on weekdays, thinking that if you come back one day, you will still be able to live. You see, I'm staying where I am and everything. ”

"Thank you, I'd like to be alone." Mei Ruojun was so excited that she couldn't talk to people at all, and she had to work hard to control the tears in her heart.

"Well, okay, I'll go down first." Mrs. Chen shook her head, although she didn't know what a complicated story Ruojun and Ruikang had, but she had witnessed the sweetness of their happiness when they were together and the pain and loneliness after separation. She couldn't help but feel a sense of pity and pity in her heart.

After Mrs. Chen left, Mei Ruojun closed the door and looked around at everything in the small attic, yes, nothing had changed, the bright windows, the goose-yellow floral curtains, the painted wooden wardrobe, the rough desk of I don't know which era, a small round table, two chairs and a single bed, she sat on the edge of the bed, caressing the soft pillows, as if touching her lover's skin.

"Because I'm a man, I want to possess the woman I love." His words drifted through his ears...... She closed her eyes and pursed her lips, not knowing whether to hate or resent.

When she opened her eyes again, her eyes were drawn to a small square cloth bag on the small round table, and a letter was pressed under the cloth bag.

Ruojun opened the cloth bag curiously, it was a square closed magnetic cylinder, I don't know what's going on, the moment Ruojun's fingers touched this cold cylinder, his heart jumped for no reason.

The moment she picked up the envelope, her heart beat faster, and there was no signature on the envelope, but this small attic was her dream cottage with Ruikang, and this letter could only be left by Ruikang, and this package, she was sure, was not there when she left.

Opening the envelope and pulling out the letter paper, Ruikang's vigorous handwriting jumped into view, and her heart jumped when she saw it, but the content of the letter made her already cold world fall into the ice cave again:

"Dear Ruojun: I'm back, with a tired body, a painful soul, and all the things I experienced in Shanghai are like a movie, and I still don't know if these things are real or a dream.

I found Wakari, but lost her again, she shot my bride at the wedding, and she wanted to stop this ridiculous wedding. She loves you and she loves me, she's smart and passionate, contradictory and extreme. She swallowed the prepared poison in front of me without hesitation, and at that moment, I realized how selfish and cruel our alliance of hell was...... Forgive me, I can no longer recall what happened that day.

I rejected Jiaqi, failed Manlin, and hurt Ruoli, in fact, even you are a victim, without me, maybe you and your eldest brother will be kind and loving, and grow old, without me, Manlin and Ruoli will not lose their young lives, without me, Jiaqi may have married and had children with an excellent man. I finally understand that I cannot bring happiness to any of you, and that my existence only brings pain and hurt to all.

Back to the little attic, I just want to recall our short happiness one last time, Ruojun, I love you, from the first time I saw you, you were the only woman I wanted to marry, but you are my sister-in-law, I love you crazy, crazy to get you, I think I am wrong too outrageous.

Ruojun, I'm sorry, I couldn't bring you Ruoli, all I brought back was this box of ashes, I'm sorry......

I am gone, and with guilt for all and love for you, I will step on the battlefield and do something meaningful for the country and the people with my blood and body.

Do your filial piety for my father and mother, and live a good life with my eldest brother. Bye! Oh no, goodbye! The plum blossom engraved in my heart! ----Ruikang Word"

The letter paper trembled in her hand like a leaf shaking in the wind, and her eyes stared blankly at the boxy magnetic jar in front of her, what? Is this magnetic jar filled with Wakari? How can it be? She didn't believe it, no, it couldn't be, Ruoli, she had just turned eighteen years old, how could it be? She killed Xu Manlin? She killed Xu Manlin at Ruikang's wedding? She committed suicide by taking poison? Take poison? How can it be? She couldn't help but shake her head frantically, how could her beautiful and lovely sister be put in this small jar?

"No ----!" She shouted, but she already knew in her heart that all this was true, she hugged the magnetic jar and sat down on the bed, tight, tight, this was her last relative, maybe she had experienced too much life and death, she didn't have tears, just colic, she held Ruoli's urn and sat from afternoon to dusk. It wasn't until Mrs. Chen, who was worried about coming up and knocking on the door to check, that she pulled her thoughts back from the blank world.

Ruojun held Ruoli's ashes, returned to Mei's house with Ruikang's letter, and walked into the hall only to find that Ding Xiaohui was sitting in the hall, she didn't greet him, to be exact, she didn't greet anyone, even Master Zhou was no exception, she just put Ruoli's urn on the god table in a demented manner.

"What is this?" Master Zhou asked.

"Wakari." Her answer was expressionless, short and clear.

Then, like a walking corpse, he quietly left the hall and returned to the bedroom, closing the door tightly.

"Ah, this can't be Miss Wakari, right?" Cuiliu asked in surprise.

The hall was silent, although the Mei family and the Zhou family had a world-apart gap between the rich and the poor, but at this time, looking at the spirit cards put together by the two families, Master Zhou suddenly sighed, life, it turns out that there is no distinction between rich and poor, and the god of death will not be particularly tolerant of you because of your wealth.

"Master Zhou, since we are destined to get to know each other, if you have any difficulties, just say it. If you find Dean Liu, you will be able to find me. Ding Xiaohui said and put down a few packets of traditional Chinese medicine, and said: "Although Dean Liu is a doctor of Western medicine, his family is a family of traditional Chinese medicine, these are some of the traditional Chinese medicines he prescribed to his wife. What a presumptuousness. ”

"Alas, Mr. Ding is really polite, we have to thank you." Master Zhou said.

Ding Xiaohui glanced at the door and said, "I want you to care more about Madame's mood, I see that her mood is close to collapse, you have to ......" Before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a "bang" from the bedroom----! There was a loud bang, and everyone was stunned.

"Not good!" Ding Xiaohui stood up and rushed to the bedroom to slam the door desperately: "Madam, Mrs. Zhou!" Are you in there? Open the door. ”

Master Zhou, Zhou Fu, Cuiliu, and Shu Zhi also rushed out, shouting in turn: "Ruojun! "Grandma, open the door!" "Sister Ruojun, open the door quickly!"

But no matter how much they shouted and banged on the door, there was no response in the room. Everyone's hearts sank, knowing that the big thing was not good, Ding Xiaohui asked everyone to step back, raised his foot and kicked the door open,

The situation in the room stunned everyone, three feet of white silk, hanging high on the beams, Ruojun's slender body swaying in mid-air like a crumbling autumn leaf.

Ding Xiaohui hurriedly hugged her legs and raised her body, and everyone came back to their senses and hurriedly untied her and put her on the kang. Ding Xiaohui pinched her people heavily, Cuiliu kept stroking her chest, and everyone kept shouting, finally Mei Ruojun walked back from the ghost gate again, and slowly opened her eyes, this time she saw an unfamiliar face, with good facial features, and a pair of beautiful and amorous eyes behind the lenses. Seeing Ruojun wake up, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Ruojun, you can't do stupid things anymore, there are enough people who have died in the Zhou Mei family, even if you don't miss our Zhou family, you have to think about your father's spirit in the sky, and the Mei family is the only one left." Master Zhou gently smashed the ground with his crutches in pain, and shed tears: "Shulan is gone, Ruian is gone, Ruikang is gone, I have no relatives anymore, seeing you, I can at least see a family member related to Ruian and Ruikang, chat to comfort." Master Zhou's words and tears made people very sad and choked up.

"Dad, I'm sorry......" Ruojun lowered his head and covered his face, crying: "It's me who is useless, and I can't even save Ryan's child." ”

Cuiliu hugged her tightly and let her vent the grief in her arms.

Ding Xiaohui stood aside, very embarrassed by the misfortune of the family, and remembered some of his past events, he couldn't help frowning and sighing.
