Chapter 511: Hold One
Li Shi was indeed not at home, he went to the west of the village to go to the grave.
Ji Yu and Zhang Cuicui talked with the blind mother-in-law for a while, and the blind mother-in-law almost did not leave Li Shi.
"His father is not a thing, he took the bride and a pair of children away, left the little persimmon in the village, could not touch it, and almost starved to death......
I thought he was so pitiful to the old woman, I gave him half a piece of steamed buns, and he collected firewood and water for me every day from then on......"
Zhang Cuicui asked, "So mother-in-law, you left him behind?" ”
The blind mother-in-law nodded.
"The people of the clan don't want to, and they don't care about me from then on...... If I hadn't left a piece of mountain land for me, my grandparents wouldn't have been able to live......
Alas, speaking of which, the little persimmon followed me to live a hard life, and he was hungry and full on weekdays, and when he encountered a cheap year, there were no crops in that small piece of mountainous land, and there was not a grain of rice in the tank, so he had to beg for food.
If you can't ask for it in the town, you will go to the county seat, so many miles back and forth, the small feet are all soaked, and you want to get a rancid meat bun, and bring it back to me in your arms to eat.
I asked him why he didn't eat it, and he said he had eaten it and had eaten three ...... He lied to people, and his belly shook the sky at night......"
Speaking of this, the blind mother-in-law wiped her tears.
"People say that the little persimmon is my blessing, in fact, I trust him with his blessing, he has taken care of me all these years, that is, his own children and grandchildren, and he is not as filial as him, don't believe you."
The blind mother-in-law patted the new futon on the kang.
"These, as well as the new jacket I was wearing, and the rice, flour, meat and eggs in the jar, were all bought by him......
He is out now, but he is dragged down by my bad old woman, and I let him go, but he won't ......"
Ji Yu bent down and patted her blind mother-in-law's hand.
"Don't think so much about your mother-in-law, no matter what you say, you are a Li-style nobleman, without your kindness at the beginning, and without his success today......"
said and gave Zhang Cuicui a look.
Zhang Cuicui sighed and hurriedly interrupted.
"By the way, mother-in-law, why do you call Li Shi Xiao Persimmon? Is this the nickname you gave him? ”
The blind mother-in-law was really distracted.
"It's a nickname, but I didn't choose it. His mother planned it before he gave birth, the male baby is called Xiao Persimmon, and the female baby is called Xiao Meizi...... Her mother didn't come back to life, and his family was so bad that they refused to call her name...... I thought it was quite pleasant, so I called it down......"
Zhang Cuicui laughed: "Don't say it, it's much smoother than Li Shi......"
Ji Yu saw that her blind mother-in-law's mood was improving, so she left the two of her to chat, turned around and walked out of the house.
The brothers of the Xu family went to the back of the house to see what kind of tree they were, and there was only Guan Shan standing in the courtyard.
Ji Yu tilted her head at him: "Accompany me to a place." ”
Out of the fence yard, follow the path in front of the door and go to the west of the village.
Ji Yu was thinking about things in her heart, and it was rare to be a little silent.
Guan Shan suddenly spoke.
"You were like that before?"
He was referring not only to the dilapidated shacks, but also to the scene of being criticized at the entrance of the village.
In fact, Ji Yu's past, when he was recuperating from his injury in Tsuchiwu, he learned a lot from Hu Dacheng intermittently.
However, hearing and seeing are two different things. The state of mind at that time and at this time was also very different.
"Almost, thousands of people are disgusted with thousands of people, and even dogs refuse to pay attention. That's right, it's rhubarb ......"
Ji Yu said halfway through jokingly, Yu Guang glanced at Guan Shan's frowning brows, her eyes rolled, and she immediately changed her sad tone.
"Alas, at that time the whole village used me as a plague, and although it did not throw bricks, cold words hurt more people than knives.
lives like a transparent person in the village, and in the Ji family, he is not even as good as pigs and dogs, even if he is bullied by a few children in the third room, he has to rush to work without food, for fear that he will be kicked out or sold if he is worthless......
But in the end they sold me anyway, more than once.
I was young at the time, and I didn't have anything to do, so I felt that I had nothing to love and hit the pillar, and I almost died......"
The more Ji Yu spoke, the lower her voice became, and Guan Shan's face became more and more somber.
He stopped, and Ji Yu also stopped. It's just that when I hang my head and look closely, my shoulders are still shaking slightly.
Guan Shan paused, held her hand, and said as if promised: "Not in the future." ”
Ji Yu turned around and put her forehead on his shoulder.
Guan Shan's expression was sluggish.
Lowered his eyes looked at the top of her hair, and her brow was tied in a dead knot.
Seeing that he didn't move for a long time, Ji Yu turned her face slightly and peeked at him with one eye: "I'm so miserable, don't you hug one?" ”
Guan Shan glanced at her, grabbed her shoulders and pushed the person away, and then without saying a word, he strode forward.
It seems that it is time for him to reflect on himself.
Ji Yu has played this trick more than once, he has been fooled once, and he can even do it a second time.
This is in the past...... It's incredible.
"Huh? Why are you like this? ”
Ji Yu crossed her waist, saw that he showed no signs of stopping, trotted to follow, and dragged his hand.
"Don't be embarrassed to see that there's no one here."
Guan Shan shook it, but she didn't shake it off, so she went.
Actually, he didn't use any force.
Ji Yu shook his arm: "Hey, were you distressed just now?" ”
Guan Shan didn't look at her with a cold face.
"Don't keep it in your heart, everyone is an adult, speak simply."
No matter how Ji Yu guided, he just didn't say anything.
Ji Yu was so angry that she wanted to beat him, but for the sake of not being able to beat him, she could only turn violence into complaining.
"With your stinky temper, you deserve to be beaten as a bachelor! If it weren't for my kindness, I would have saved you from fire and water......"
Guan Shan's forehead jumped a little, and he really wanted to block her mouth.
However, you don't have to think about it to know what Ji Yu's reaction will be, in order not to set herself on fire, it is better to be silent.
walked a few steps with a cold face, and finally held Ji Yu's cold hand blown by the wind in the palm of his hand.
In a few moments, that hand warmed up.
Ji Yu was half a step behind, looked at this duplicitous man, and bent her lips.
Walking along the trail to the end of the village, I saw a field, and when I walked a little further, I saw the figure of Li Shi on a low slope full of miscellaneous trees.
"You wait here, I'll go up and talk to him...... Or are you with me? ”
Guan Shan glanced at her: "I'm waiting for you here." ”
There are only a few scattered graves on the low slope, and it is obvious that Li's mother was not buried in the ancestral grave of the Li family.
There was only a pile of ashes left in front of Li Shi, and the bottom few pieces of fire paper soaked in snow and water, obviously a long time ago.
Seeing Ji Yu, he didn't see much surprise, and got up and called the owner.
Ji Yu told him that he asked him to call her the owner in the store or on formal occasions like Xu Laifu and Zhang Cuicui, and usually call her by her first name, but he never refused.
"We came to look for you, and my mother-in-law was probably afraid that we would be in a hurry and kept coming out to ask you to go back, so I volunteered......"
Ji Yu roughly explained the intention, and her eyes fell on the grave bag.
"Is this your mother?"
She asked directly, and Li Shi didn't mean to evade, and nodded.
Ji Yu bowed to the grave bag.
"If you don't think I'm troublesome, I have something to say to you."
Ji Yu didn't say anything big, the sacredness of mother's love, the greatness of mother, none of these.
She just explained to him the difference between clinical death and brain death, as well as the possible connection between them and the phenomenon of coffin births, in a language that Li Shi could understand.
"I know it might be a bit puzzling...... But life itself is a miracle, there are medical explanations, and there are also things that human beings cannot currently reach. Ordinary people always like to blame ghosts and spirits for some things they can't understand, but in fact, it's just because they are ignorant......"
After Li Shi heard this, he was silent for a long time.
"Even if she's a demon, she's my mother. But thank you, owner, for telling me this. ”
Ji Yu looked at his expression, confirming that he was not pretending, and at the same time recognized one thing - perhaps, he didn't need to understand the so-called scientific basis, he had the truth in his heart.
That's good, too.
It was almost noon when I returned to my blind mother-in-law's house.
The blind mother-in-law learned from Zhang Cuicui that Ji Yu was Li Shidong's family, and she took her hand to thank Li Shi, and kept them for dinner.
Ji Yu politely refused to stay on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
After talking for a while, Li Shi and the blind mother-in-law sent them out.
Compared to the emptiness when it came, there are people everywhere at this time.
The villagers not only confirmed that these people were really friends of Li Shi, but also learned from the blind mother-in-law that among them was Li Shi's owner.
"The proprietor came to pay a New Year's greeting to a fellow...... How much attention is paid to this? ”
"Didn't you hear from those people? Li Shiwang business, so he can be valued by the owner......"
"Is he really a buddy in Yeyang? So what is he...... Transshipment? ”
"Oops! It's no wonder that I bought so many things for the blind woman, and I dare to make a lot of money, I don't know if there is still a shortage of people in their store......"
"You ask......
Li Shi ignored the sudden increase in smiling faces around him, and when the carriage and mule cart disappeared on the village road, he helped his blind mother-in-law turn around and enter the courtyard.
