Winter melon closed the door and went back to the house with the gourd.

They don't want to stay outside anymore.

Zhong Ye tied his hair, put on his coat, and came to Wei Yining's side.

Today is Tanabata, commonly known as Daughter's Day. The woman who has not yet come out of the pavilion will beg the weaver girl on this night, or wear a seven-hole needle, or catch a spider and put it in a small box, and open it the next day, if the spider weaves a round and dense web, it means that it is skillful.

Zhong Ye really wanted to see how Wei Yining was begging, because it was not very common to see Wei Yining's childlike attitude, so he was extremely curious.

It's just that after he arrived, Fa Wei Yining was already sitting on the roof, holding the boss's half of a watermelon in his hand and eating it happily.

Seeing him, he beckoned happily and whispered, "Grandpa, come and eat watermelon, it's so sweet." ”

It turned out that this watermelon was given to her by Yan Tingzhen, and it was a tribute from the Western Regions, it was sweet and sandy, and there were few seeds.

Wei Yining specially left one, cut it in half, ate the small half by himself, and left the majority for Zhong Ye.

"Although watermelon is delicious, it is cold, so don't eat too much." Zhong Ye sat down and said to Wei Yining, "Why didn't you beg today? ”

"I never do these things," Wei Yining said, taking a mouthful of watermelon, "I knew from a very young age that prayer was useless. ”

Hearing her say this, Zhong Ye felt distressed for no reason, and naturally reached out and gently touched her head.

Wei Yining leaned back with his hand, trying to hold back the water in her eyes, she just didn't like to cry.

Sad things, even after many years have passed, are still sad when I think about it.

Zhong Ye understood how she felt about me, so he didn't say anything.

Wei Yining just took a bath not long ago, her hair was not dry, it was cool and slippery, with a vague fragrance.

Although Zhong Ye was greedy, he still restrained himself from withdrawing his hand.

For Wei Yining, he always takes care of it first, and warns himself not to get involved.

"Does Grandpa think the same way as me?" Wei Yining wrapped her arms around her knees and turned her face sideways to ask Zhong Ye.

"I used to think the same way, so I never prayed for anything." Zhong Ye raised his head and looked at the Milky Way in the sky and said, "But then I learned that some things are not done if they are useless, but for someone who is willing to do them to believe, even if they are false and untrue, probably because their minds need to have some sustenance." ”

"Yes, my grandmother said that she used to believe in Buddhism very much, but when my little uncle was seriously ill, she knelt in front of the Buddha for six days and six nights without drinking or eating, praying for my little uncle to be safe, and even willing to exchange her life for it, but in the end my little uncle still went. Since then, my grandmother has never believed in Buddhism or prayed again. Wei Yining casually pulled a strand of hair and played with it between her fingers and said: "But since Hongan found it, grandmother thinks that there are gods in heaven and earth, although she took away her son, but she also gave her a Hongan." So after we just moved here, we asked my little aunt to invite a statue of Guanyin for her. In her room, I prayed diligently with a stick of incense every day, asking the Bodhisattva to bless me and Hong'an with peace and success. ”

"So Yining, although you have lost a lot, you will definitely gain more in the future. God doesn't always owe anyone, let alone a good girl like you. Zhong Ye looked at Wei Yining lovingly, he really wanted to hold all the good things in heaven and earth and send them to Wei Yining, and make up for his past shortcomings as much as possible.

"Maybe! Actually, I'm not a good person, and I don't care about retribution or revenge. But if it were in my heart, I would prefer to have good karma. Today I received a letter from Aunt Sang from Lao Linghe," Wei Yining's voice was so shallow that he couldn't hear the joy and sorrow: "The letter said that Wei Zongyong died in Lao Linghe, because he had a dispute with someone after drinking, and was stabbed to death. ”

"If he's dead, will you feel better?" Zhong Ye asked her.

"In fact, long after he was condemned, I have put aside the grudge with him, and people like him, although hateful, are not to be feared." Wei Yining said: "But if he dies, it means that Aunt Sang can return to Beijing, which is also a good thing." ”

"Is Aunt Sang going to come back with Wei Zongyong's youngest daughter?" Zhong Ye asked, "Do you want to be with you when you return to Beijing?" ”

"Naturally, we want to live together, Aunt Sang is kind and upright, and besides, I am gracious." Wei Yining said slowly: "What's more, his mother passed away last year, and her younger brother and sister have already been taken into the mansion by the old lady. ”

"That's fine," Zhong Ye nodded, "I just don't know what that child's heart is." ”

"Yirong was brought up by Aunt Sang, I can trust Aunt Sang." Wei Yining said: "What's more, I take revenge but don't hold grudges, if she is reasonable, she will naturally understand what is right and what is wrong." ”

"Yining, you're such a good girl." Zhong Ye admires Wei Yining's personality, who is upright and frank, polite and courteous.

"Grandpa, when I was young, my father told me that the stars in the sky are the souls of good people after they die," Wei Yining looked up at the sky and said: "He also told me that the brightest one is Brother Fu'an, I can let go of hatred, but I can't stop thinking." ”

"I understand," Zhong Ye replied in a low voice, "It's like I've been thinking about my father and mother." ”

"Grandpa, there's something I've always wanted to ask you." Wei Yining sighed softly and said, "How do you know where my father's grave is?" ”

"I ......" Zhong Ye stretched out his hand and scratched his head a little crampedly: "Actually, there are some things I haven't told you, I knew you long before the tiger was fought on the Yonghe River during the Dragon Boat Festival that year." ”

"Really?" Wei Yining was puzzled: "But I'm sure it's the first time I've seen you." ”

"It's been a long time since I said that, it was the spring of three years ago," Zhong Ye slowly recalled, "because I didn't have much to eat, I went out of the city at night to the release ponds of various temples to catch loaches. One day, I happened to arrive at Suxin'an, and I heard Mrs. Zhang and her attendants talking, and they mentioned loaches in their mouths, and later I learned that it was actually you. Later, when you buried your parents' ashes in Wangchun Mountain, I happened to be on a tree not far away. Seeing you crying so sadly, but I couldn't help but think of myself, thinking that you and I were people with the same disease, and what happened later, I occasionally went to your parents' graves to pay respects, which can be regarded as a little heart. ”

"I see! I remembered that when I lived in Sushin'an, the people there were suspicious that most of the loaches in the release pond were suddenly gone, and I don't know why they were gone. At the time, I thought that the person who stole the loaches must be a very smart person, but I never thought that it was you, grandpa. ”

After speaking, Wei Yining lowered his body and laughed, his eyes crooked like two small crescents.
