So after waiting anxiously for five or six days, Huayi came back!

At that time, Ye Rong was coaxing Yuanbao to drink porridge, and when she heard this, she accidentally spilled a spoonful of hot porridge on Yuanbao's hand, and her tender little hands were so hot that Yuanbao immediately cried. Wu'er hurriedly knelt down, blowing his hand for the ingot, and coaxed in his mouth: "Blow, blow and blow, it won't hurt......"

Yuan Bao is also three years old, and his appearance is naturally lively and clever, perhaps because he can detect his mother's unhappiness, he immediately closed his mouth and obediently hugged Ye Rong's legs.

Cui Ping also understood what Ye Rong was worried about, she looked at the ingots, and had a calculation in her heart, she helped Ye Rong and said, "What's wrong with the young grandmother?" You see, the little master's clothes are dirty! ”

The word "dirty" made Ye Rong wake up, she looked at Cui Ping and smiled faintly.

Hua Yi returned home for two days, and no one was seen behind closed doors.

Li Sheng was very anxious and pushed a lot of business in a row. Master Li was dissatisfied, and found an opportunity to scold: "Did she give you ecstasy soup?" For the sake of a concubine, it is so insignificant! ”

Li Sheng still wanted to defend a few words, but Master Li said with a straight face: "Tomorrow, you obediently give me a trip to Hunan, my Li family's man can't be so unproductive!" ”

When Li Sheng left the Li Mansion, Hua Yi didn't come out to see him off, he remembered how Hua Yi came back with a face that day: her clothes were already in tatters, her hair was messy, and the makeup on her face was still the same as that day, embarrassed - when was she Huayi willing to embarrass herself like this? He felt distressed when he saw it, and he didn't dare to touch her at a loss...... Therefore, when he looked back in the direction of the Li Mansion again, he felt that maybe he should not leave.

Hua Yi couldn't sleep well for the past two days, first dreaming that Xiao Ning was hacked to death with a knife, and then at the critical moment, Li Sheng let go of the hand that was holding her, yes, in her dream, it was Li Sheng himself who let go of the hand that saved her.

The dream after that made her even more life worse than death, densely packed with what happened to her in the past six days. In that mountain bandit's den, she was like a piece of flesh, invaded by those men. Every time she fainted, when she woke up, it was darkness as far as her eyes could see...... She thought she was going to die, but she didn't know that someone from the Li family really came to look for her.

She was taken away in a daze, and the man next to her looked at her ambiguously, she could bear it, but what dealt her a fatal blow was that she returned to the house that day, and she finally saw Li Sheng, but he didn't dare to hug herself...... He hated himself.

Li Sheng was gone for three days, Hua Yi opened the door, and the bright sunlight sprinkled on her in pieces, which was very comfortable. She was about to step out, but she heard a child's voice from nowhere: "Aunt Li Fuhua in the New Year, the mountain bandits are busy with relatives halfway; Grab a flower aunt, it's all you and me! ”

The immature voice sang such an unbearable tune, and Hua Yi was so frightened that she retreated into the room and hid at the foot of the bed. "Dirty!" This word broke into her mind, and she suddenly felt that she was also infected with that stench, so she began to rub her skin fiercely, and she refused to stop because of the red and swollen marks: "Dirty, too dirty......"

On the second day, Li Fu saw Hua Yi in a pool covered with ice slag: her body was already swollen, and her swollen and red fingers were like carrots...... She was dead, and the horror and reluctance on her face still lingered......

When Li Sheng returned home, Hua Yi had already been buried, and Ye Rong led him to Hua Yi's tomb, a small mound that buried this woman's life.

"What's going on with her?" Li Sheng touched the tombstone with only the words "Tomb of Huayi" written on it, and asked woodenly.

Ye Rong stroked the broken hair in her ears and said, "The reason for this, you don't listen." ”

Li Sheng looked back at Ye Rong, his eyes were already red: "Do you want me to dig the grave and ask her in person?" ”

Ye Rong had to say, and said: "I don't know who made up those things randomly, I went down carefully and asked, and those children also said that they didn't know who taught them......

"Now that everyone is dead, it's useless to hold you accountable, let me ask you," Li Sheng asked coldly: "On that day, did you do it on purpose?" ”

When Ye Rong heard this, tears fell in time: "If you really want to think of me like this, you can do whatever you want." I know you can't let go of Yi Niang, but there's no need to sprinkle remorse and resentment on me! ”

Li Sheng didn't want to say any more, but said, "You go, I want to stay with her for a while." Ye Rong was stunned for a moment, and when she saw that Li Sheng finally didn't want to look at her anymore, she wiped her tears and left, and after that, her husband and wife relationship with him for many years was still separated.

The days passed in a trance, and it was April in the world.

Lingtai Temple rang the bell of spring this morning, and Mu Zhi and others knelt under the Buddha bell and listened to the bell's "bang...... Knock ......" came melodiously.

Then there was a handsome monk sitting on the high platform chanting scriptures, Mu Zhi secretly looked over, and his heart was warm, the monk was Ye Luying.

When these things were over, it was almost noon, Ye Luying saw that there were idlers all around, so she smiled at Mu Zhi and walked straight over.

The people in the temple are no longer surprised, they used to worry that this thought of Senior Brother moved their hearts, but this Ye Luying is really out of the dust, and I haven't seen him and the girl who came to the temple from time to time wear something for so long.

"You're here." Ye Luying found a quiet place and carefully wiped the surface of the stone bench before letting Mu Zhi sit down.

Mu Zhi picked up the food box in his hand, put it on the table, and said with a smile: "There is still a lot of flour left over for the New Year, Granny Zhou said, thank you for your help, I specially made a lot of dumplings for me to bring to you." "Actually, where did Granny Zhou do it, she is old, and it is already great to be self-sufficient, Ye Luying naturally knows, but she didn't break it.

These flours were indeed given to Granny Zhou in the name of Lingtai Temple, so he did not shirk and said with a smile: "Then I thank you in advance for my masters, senior brothers and brothers." ”

Mu Zhi smiled and whispered: "A while ago, you came to the village to recite the scriptures to everyone, and those old people said that you read very well and wanted to listen to it again." "Under the guise of something else, I look forward to seeing him more...... That's all she had to think about......

Ye Luying naturally couldn't live up to her wishes, nodded in agreement, and said, "It's not too early, you go down the mountain first." She said yes.

Mu Zhi jumped down the mountain, and as soon as she arrived at the door, she saw Granny Zhou standing trembling in the courtyard alone.

She hurriedly went to help: "Granny Zhou, what are you going to do?" Just tell me to come. ”

Granny Zhou smiled and pulled her to sit down with her: "What's the matter with me?" It's just that it's getting late, and seeing that you haven't come back yet, I can't help but be a little worried. ”

Mu Zhi's heart warmed, since the beginning of winter last year, Granny Zhou has become even weaker, Mu Zhi is always waiting carefully on weekdays, but today because she wants to see Ye Luying, she has been away for a long time. Thinking of this, Mu Zhi felt a little guilty and said, "My mother-in-law is worried." ”

Granny Zhou touched Mu Zhi's hand and smiled kindly: "Look at me, I'm so confused, it's still cold in April." Let's hurry up and talk. ”

When night fell, Mu Zhi brought the food to the table together, and although the room illuminated by the warm yellow kerosene lamp was still dim, it had a more "home" taste.

Granny Zhou asked while picking up vegetables for Mu Zhi: "By the way, Mu Zhi, what do you think of Master Yi Nian?" ”

Mu Zhi didn't expect to be asked like this, and almost choked on the rice, Granny Zhou hurriedly handed over a bowl of soup, patted her on the back and said, "I see that you like to run to the temple, and Master Yinian is also a rare good man...... It's just that he is a monk after all. ”

Mu Zhi knew that Granny Zhou had no malicious intent when she said this, so she didn't get angry, and only replied shyly: "He treats me very well, and I regard him as a benefactor." ”

When Granny Zhou heard this, she laughed: "That's good." ”

"Mother-in-law, what do you mean?" Mu Zhi was puzzled, looked at Granny Zhou and asked. Granny Zhou added a few smiles to her face: "It's good to know that you and Master Yinian are innocent, otherwise I really can't say anything about this matchmaker." ”

Say the media? Mu Zhi was stunned for a moment, and laughed for a moment: "Mother-in-law forgot, Mu Zhi said, I have to serve my mother-in-law first." ”

Granny Zhou waved her hand and said, "I'm an old immortal, where is it worth you to spend so much energy for me?" In my lifetime, it would be best to see you find a stable place to stay. ”

Mu Zhi blushed and was silent, and listened to Granny Zhou's words: "You know the man, it is Aunt Jiang's family at the head of the village, and you also know her son Yaozong, who is quite an honest and capable child." ”

Jiang Yaozong? She is naturally familiar, a few days ago when she accompanied Granny Zhou to plant vegetables and weed, she got a lot of help from him, and she is a person who doesn't like to talk but is very enthusiastic: last winter, he braved the wind and snow for Granny Zhou, and he was the one who took medicine up and down the mountain...... He is very good, Mu Zhi wants to tell Granny Zhou, but her heart is very small, and if she pretends to be Ye Luying, the rest of the people can't pretend anymore.

Granny Zhou also took the trouble to get off the table, and after a while, she took out some things, and said with a smile: "Look, these are Yaozong's birthdays, so naturally yours and I gave them them; In the past few days, I have found a half-immortal and said that the two of you are a natural pair, and it must be a good marriage. ”

Mu Zhi didn't know whether to cry or laugh, so she only begged: "Granny Zhou doesn't have to bother with these thoughts anymore, I don't want to." ”

When Granny Zhou heard this, she put away her things, and said a little embarrassed: "Since Mu Zhi is unwilling, then who can force it?" When I was free to-morrow, I turned them down...... It's a pity that I can't complete Master Yinian's instructions. ”

Mu Zhi listened with a smile at first, but suddenly heard Granny Zhou mention Ye Luying's name, and couldn't help but be surprised and asked; "What does it mean that you want me to marry, did Master Yinian instruct Granny Zhou?"

Granny Zhou nodded yes and laughed: "Otherwise, if you say this, Master Yi Nian is benevolent, and everything is considered." ”

If it was usual, Mu Zhi would naturally praise Ye Luying with a smile and Granny Zhou, but at this moment, her mind was messed up, and she didn't know what to say.
