"Mother, slow down and be careful of the steps!"

When He Yuwen and Mo Xiaoxiao were sitting on the stone bench in the courtyard talking, He Yuhua helped Lu Wenyan and walked out of the door.

He Yuwen turned his head, smiled slightly, and called softly: "Mother." ”

Lu Wenyan wore a plain dress, pulled up the gray hair that had become gray at some point, a few strands of silver-white hair hung slightly to his ears, his eyes were blank, and he looked like he was graceful and rich in the past, but now he is full of vicissitudes of life. When I saw Mo Xiaoxiao, in addition to surprise, there was guilt and embarrassment that was difficult to hide.

Mo Xiaoxiao got up and bowed slightly, still as modest as before: "Mrs. He, long time no see." ”

This Lu Wenyan also felt guilty about Mo Xiaoxiao, at that time, because of Lin Luoji's incident, he drove her out indiscriminately and slapped her, and later learned that he had wronged her after figuring out the reason, and the guilt in his heart and the bleakness of the He family's middle and down, she couldn't hold face anymore, and she was ashamed, and now she is no longer Mrs. He, who was infinitely high and high, just a woman in cloth, the wife of a guilty person, and a woman who lost her family.

As the old saying goes, a plucked phoenix is not as good as a chicken, and now Mo Xiaoxiao's identity as the Gu family's embroidery mother is so noble, and she is so humble.

After a long time, Lu Wenyan said softly: "Miss Mo, why are you here, do you have something to do?" ”

Mo Xiaoxiao also seemed to see her embarrassment and uneasiness, so she gently took her hand and responded kindly.

"Mrs. He, why are you so restrained, you are my savior, your kindness I Mo Xiaoxiao is unforgettable, you will always be my benefactor and my elder, now although the He family is defeated, but I also believe that there must be a misunderstanding in this, at this time, as long as we calm down together, there is no hurdle that cannot be passed, if Mrs. He doesn't mind, let me stay and take care of you, okay, it can be regarded as repaying your favor."

Lu Wenyan put down her hanging heart, and thought that Mo Xiaoxiao also came to see the excitement like outsiders, or ignored it as a passerby, after all, she had forced her to break with the He family, but now she didn't expect her to be so heartfelt, which moved Lu Wenyan in her heart.

Lu Wenyan sighed lightly, and then said slowly: "At the beginning, because of the prosperity of the He family, taking in you a poor woman was just a gesture, and what a worry, I was also ashamed of my misunderstanding and disgust with you in the past, I am grateful that you can release your previous suspicions, but now the situation is embarrassing, no one wants to wade into this troubled water, you girl's family came to suffer this evil crime and gossip, why bother, you better go back." ”

"The grace of dripping water, when the spring reciprocates, when Mrs. He dislikes Xiaoxiao's thin strength? If not, please don't drive me away. ”

He Yuhua on the side also spoke: "Mother, since Miss Mo is so sincere, don't postpone it, the luxury is really pure, and I also believe in Mo Xiaoxiao's intentions." ”

He Yuwen also said lightly: "What Mother Yuhua said is very true, Mo Xiaoxiao has made up her mind, you might as well let her stay." ”

After a while, Lu Wenyan said: "Since this is the case, I have wronged Miss Mo, so let's go together!" ”

A few people dressed up, the autumn colors of the garden were shining with golden light, and the vermilion building was blue and tiled, like a bleak painting.

Several people have no words, full of reluctance and regret, step by step, as soon as they leave, they don't know, whether they will have a chance to come back in this life, those days they have spent together, one by one portrayed into a book, printed in everyone's mind, tomorrow's sun or rain and snow are no longer novel, repeated in the mind day after day.

"Squeak......

The heavy door was slowly closed, closing the memories of the scenery and the warmth and tranquility of that side.

Running around and working all the way, Lu Wenyan pulled his hat low, as if he was afraid of seeing the scorching sun outside, and his blazing eyes, he was silent along the way, or he was reluctant and nostalgic for the home he and He Hongfu had created.

"Mother, it's time to get out of the car."

As He Yuwen's words fell, she came back to her senses and felt that this day had passed extremely long, as if a century had passed, and people had become old unconsciously.

When I got out of the car, I saw an old house, sparsely populated and barren all around, and I looked at a few farmhouses scattered around, thinking that after a season, I got out of the car and found that it was dusk.

It seems that the sun here stays for an extraordinarily long time, and the afterglow scattered everywhere wraps around the green peaks and villages, without seeing the prosperity and hustle and bustle, and there is a quiet silence, and there are chickens and dogs barking in the distance, as if suddenly falling from a prosperous era to a barren land.

With tiredness and sorrow, several people gently pushed open the door, ready to welcome the new world and living environment.

The old wooden door, which no longer seemed to be able to withstand strong pushing, made a painful sound when pushed slightly, and the squeaking sound raised everyone's hearts to their throats.

Behind a gate, there is a dusty and overgrown courtyard full of dead leaves, and in front of it is the same old house, the traces of erosion by the wind and frost of the years are so shocking, one after another historic sites, the house is dusty, and when you push the door, there is a smell of mold and dampness, and the cobwebs make everyone cough.

Seeing this, He Yuwen first asked Mo Xiaoxiao to help Lu Wenyan out: "Mother, you go out and sit for a while, the smell is too big, I'm worried about your body, let's clean up first, and then you come in." ”

The sun in the courtyard smashed on the ground, and also fell on the shoulders and bodies of Mo Xiaoxiao and Lu Wenyan, heavy as if they were rich and weighed, so that the two of them could not breathe, and the desolation in their hearts turned into a scorching desolation under the sun's irradiation, like an endless desert, which made people desperate and melancholy.

The second day is still a warm sunny day, which is the last heat of autumn, and the last bit of residual heat before the arrival of winter, and its warmth is often behind a colder winter.

After He Yuwen settled Lu Wenyan and handed it over to Mo Xiaoxiao, he instructed He Yuhua to go out to buy some household things, and he went to Bizhou Wharf early in the morning.

The wharf in Bizhou, under the red sun, is still full of people coming and going, and the endless stream of people comes and goes on the wharf, and the face is filled with the joy of returning or the melancholy of leaving, or the hurried steps of the heart.

On the river, the sails of the ships coming from afar are all white canvases, just like white sharks turning over the white belly of fish, wandering on the sea, what a familiar picture, what a familiar sailboat, but there is no longer a white shark that is heading to He's house.

He Yuwen wore a black hat, a black long coat, and still a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and walked into an office hall that once belonged to the He family.

As expected, it had been sealed by a pale seal, and the cold courtyard was no longer noisy and prosperous, but it was replaced by endless desolation, and there were important clues he wanted to know, but now it was a problem to even get in, and he couldn't help but make it difficult.

At this moment, a person gently patted him on the shoulder from behind, and a familiar voice came from his ear: "Young Master, you are finally here." ”

He Yuwen turned his head and pushed the brim of his hat up again to see clearly: "Uncle Wang, why are you, why are you here?" ”

Uncle Wang looked around for a while, and then said softly: "Young master, I've been waiting for you, I'll take you in and say." ”

After saying that, he took He Yuwen and mysteriously and cautiously turned into a small alley on the left side of the house.

Uncle Wang looked nervous, and took He Yuwen to the back door, which was a door behind an alley, which could lead to the door of the inner room, because it was too hidden and no one came and went, so it was safer first.

He Yuwen was a little confused: "This ......"

I saw Uncle Wang take out the key from his pocket, open the door after dividing it by two, and then looked around, then stood at the door and said to He Yuwen: "Young master, go in quickly, let's go in, let's talk about it, it's not safe here." ”

When the two of them entered the door, they locked the door again, and gently touched it in. He Yuwen never thought that one day when he entered his own home, he would have to be so reluctant, sneaking like a robber, things are not people, and things are impermanent.

Because I knew everything about the room layout and the placement of documents, I just found the location of the office and rummaged through the rows of documents and ledgers to see if I could find any clues.

While looking for it, he spoke to Uncle Wang: "Uncle Wang, how do you know that I am coming?" And how do you know there's no seal behind it? ”

Listening to He Yuwen's casual inquiry, Uncle Wang also opened his mouth: "Since the master had an accident, Mrs. has dismissed all the servants up and down, I can't resist Madame, she is such a proud person, how can we continue to stay, because the incident suddenly happened to me and the master were overwhelmed and unexpected, and the top was going to arrest people, and the master was arrested, and kept saying that they were justified, I knew that if I wanted to figure things out, I would definitely come here, young master, so I came here every day to wait for you."

I was also there when the government came to close that day, and there were not many people who knew about the trail behind, and a few officers and soldiers knew, so I used a lot of money to buy them, I think I can do all I can do for the He family, the He family treats me like a dear relative, I have no ability to do this old bone, and I can only do this for you. ”

He Yuwen's heart suddenly felt like a knife, and he was extremely lonely when he thought of the embarrassment of his family, but when he thought that there were still these people who had been silently supporting the He family behind his back, his heart was moved and melancholy.

Even if there are a thousand words of gratitude, when it comes to the mouth, there is only one sentence: "Thank you, Uncle Wang." ”

Uncle Wang sighed, and said slowly in a serious tone: "Young master, you must save the master, the He family depends on you, he will make a comeback, and he is not afraid of the difficult road ahead." ”

"I found ......"

The ledger was finally opened by him in a large pile of papers, as if he had seen a ray of light shining down from the darkness.
