Chapter 463: Altar
A few orioles were crying in the treetops, and the sound of this chirping sounded pleasant, but Double Happiness had been listening to it for more than ten years and felt used to it. She picked some reeds and played with them in her hands, but she felt that she hadn't been so cheerful in a long time.
My mother and mother walk a little behind, and I like to walk in front, so I feel like I am going to explore. However, her uncle Lin Zixiang will still follow her from time to time to help her clean up the weeds on both sides, and she is also happy to let her uncle do this.
"Uncle, look at this blue sky." Shuangxi laughed.
"Yes, the world out there is just different. Look at the mountain, how much time we can climb it all? Lin Zixiang couldn't help but sigh, and his melancholy could still be heard in this tone.
Shuangxi can be regarded as a person who has experienced hardships, she nodded, and she couldn't help but start to feel a little sad in her heart, yes, in this life, there are always a lot of things that cannot be done. But that doesn't mean she has to sit still and wait for death, she can still try her best to find those good things, right?
"Uncle, don't be so sad. At the very least, wouldn't it be nice to have a small part of your own? If you pursue too much, it's easy to get tired. ”
"This little girl can even comfort her uncle. It seems that he has also grown up? ”
Double Happiness smiled sweetly, how can you not grow up? Only when she grows up can she have the ability to protect her mother, right? Although childhood is not perfect, as long as there is a mother, it is a small home that can shelter from the wind and rain.
She just likes the kind of night when she sleeps with her mother, when the rain is falling outside, and they are sleeping under the covers, or maybe they can whisper these words, she really likes those days.
In the blink of an eye, I am about to grow up, and I am really reluctant. The time I spent listening to Basho at night was only left in the ceremony.
Seeing that the little girl in her house was also bowing her head and pondering, Lin Zixiang carefully peeled off the weeds around her, and then let her walk over with peace of mind.
Shuangxi Niang was walking with Cuilan behind her, and Cuilan and Lin Zixiang lost their temper, so the passers-by didn't say anything. However, the Shuangxi Niang will say a few words from time to time, and she doesn't pray that Cuilan can answer her, she just says a few words to pass the time.
The white cherry blossoms on the reeds flutter everywhere when they encounter the wind, and Shuangxi blows them from time to time and runs away immediately, isn't it beautiful? There is also a feeling of vastness, which makes people feel a sense of fear that they will not be able to find a home.
Suddenly, Shuangxi vaguely heard a sound from the depths of the reeds, but she didn't listen carefully, she just felt a little strange.
However, it was loud again, and she looked around, but she didn't notice anything unusual. But she was already vigilant in her heart, and her intuition told her that someone was following them. Her heart is a little chaotic, and she is also a little scared, isn't it the best, what if? What should she do? It doesn't matter how you are, the most important thing is your uncle and mother!
She wanted to come up with a plan before they came out, so she suddenly picked up a stone and threw it out as if by accident. only heard the sound of "ouch", and Shuangxi was so frightened that his whole body tightened. She had never been so frightened, but she felt her heart beating violently, and her hands were about to stop obeying.
Lin Zixiang also stopped, and he shouted at the place where the voice came: "Who is there!" Don't come out yet! ”
Cuilan was also frightened a little "discolored", she held the arm of the double happy mother tightly, and stared at the reeds not far away. God, there can't really be bandits, right? So what can she do? Does she want to run first? But where to run has become a problem!
Before Cuilan could think of a countermeasure, a few mothers-in-law stood up in the depths of the reeds, and they smiled awkwardly, which looked a little treacherous from a distance.
Shuangxi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that there was no one else, but her inner vigilance did not let go. Hum! Just a few mothers-in-law? It's not going to follow them all the time, is it?
"Who are you? What are you sneaking up there for? Lin Zixiang said angrily again, this serious appearance made several mothers-in-law also put away the smiles on their faces.
They twisted the waist that looked like a bucket and walked towards Shuangxi and them, Shuangxi Niang hurriedly walked over, a few mothers-in-law, maybe they are also ill-intentioned people, these years there are many people who abduct and sell girls to be daughters-in-law in the ravines, she is going to see her daughter.
I saw that the mothers-in-law walked up, their hair buns were still a little messy, and there was some sour smell from the wind, and they wrinkled their noses in displeasure.
These people...... It can't be that you haven't showered in a few days, right?
"Where are you going?" One of the mothers-in-law asked enthusiastically.
Shuangxi observed her for a moment, and saw that she smiled very reluctantly, but this smile seemed to be the most gentle and moving. But Shuangxi's heart is very separated, a few mothers-in-law, in this wilderness, is it difficult or distracted? If not, then there is only one possibility, they are stalking themselves.
"Who the hell are you?" Shuangxi asked, don't look at her as a little girl, the momentum she exudes is not lost.
"Hehe, we also met a few people halfway, but I don't want to be discovered after just a while, which is really embarrassing." A mother-in-law laughed.
"Where are you going?" Shuangxi Niang came out and asked.
"And where are you going?" The woman asked rhetorically.
Shuangxi Niang showed displeasure on her face, and said with a strong temperament: "We naturally have a place to go, and it is better not to follow us." ”
"Hehe, don't be angry with this sister. We are not familiar with this place, so we followed you out, and if we find a place, we will not follow you. Another woman laughed.
This "haha" smile made Shuangxi very unhappy, obviously they were going to be embarrassed to death if they followed others, and now there are others following them? Who can stand it? And they don't want to meddle yet.
"It's okay, you and I are different, so let's leave it at that." Lin Zixiang also spoke.
The mothers-in-law were also a little embarrassed, but they still endured it, maybe they walked back to that place here, wouldn't it be even worse when the time came? In order to survive, let's give it up.
I saw that one of the mothers-in-law suddenly cried, and she cried: "A few kind and handsome gentlemen, good sisters, you have to help us!" We have no choice but to do so! ”
"You ...... We also have our own difficulties, so why not understand each other. Double Happiness said.
"Good girl, don't you understand our hard days these days, we haven't eaten, we only escaped last night, and we happened to meet you, isn't this the lucky star sent to us by God! Now that you're not letting us follow, what should we do? ”
This woman said so vividly, Shuangxi saw her snot and tears, it was really pitiful, she felt embarrassed, and at the same time, the end of the world fell into people, why did you have to know each other?
"What's the problem with the sisters?" Shuangxi Niang asked.
Several mothers-in-law were still hesitant to say it, and finally saw that Shuangxi was about to leave, so they said ruthlessly: "I am a person from the Ye family in Kyoto, and this time I came to the eldest son of the family, but I don't want to come back to pick up the bride. ”
"The Ye family? Bandit? ”
"Yes, the bride was going back to Beijing with us, but who knew that something would happen to us on the way." The mother-in-law is so wronged, if this thing is not done well, they don't dare to go back to make a mistake.
"We're just trying to get out of that cottage now. As for where to go, we really don't know yet. Another woman also came up and cried.
Double happiness can't do anything, what can she do as a weak woman?
"And what about your bride?" Cuilan asked.
The mother-in-law glanced up at her, and then said, "Which mountain bandit is not lustful?" I'm afraid that this bride will not be clean either. When we escaped, we couldn't care about her, we just wanted to ask to get out. ”
"This bride is really pitiful, and you guys have no conscience." Cuilan said unceremoniously.
Although the mothers-in-law didn't like it in their hearts, they couldn't say anything. After all, it's a matter of asking for help, isn't it?
"yes, we don't have that conscience. In this life, I'm afraid that even the father-in-law of the land will not forgive us. I'm afraid that the bride will also hate us for being ruthless and unjust. But what's the use of hating us? It's the mountain bandits who should be hated, isn't it? ”
Double happiness thinks about it, and this is the same reason? She frowned, and then said, "Then you want to go back to Beijing?" ”
"Nope! We can't go back to Beijing, and if people know that we didn't protect the bride, then we will only end up being punished! A mother-in-law suddenly said in horror.
Cuilan snorted disdainfully, and scolded with a smile: "It's really a bunch of dog things, and it can't even protect a person." After all, you still don't want this bride. ”
When several mothers-in-law were scolded like this, their hearts were naturally as uncomfortable as eating flies. They are also slaves and maids of a big family, why are they still laughed at by a village woman when they get here?
"This sister, what you said is not right. We can't do anything about it, but if it's my sister, I'm afraid it's faster than us. ”
The contempt at the corner of the mother-in-law's mouth made Cuilan angry, she glared at the mother-in-law, and replied, "Who said that! I'm not that heartless person. ”
When Shuangxi heard this, he probably had a plan in his heart. It's not impossible for her to think about it, this Aunt Cuilan has always been snobbish, maybe...... She can really run fast.
