Chapter 18: The Sea of Flowers
[Nowadays]
Yan Yan burst into tears, leaned on the head of the bed, slowly closed his eyes, and stopped talking.
Yin Xian and Duan Huanian were also speechless for a while, just looking at each other in pairs, not knowing how to comment.
After a long time, Yin Xian couldn't help but break the silence and asked carefully, "After that, what happened to you?" ”
The Yuan family didn't appreciate it and retreated. My father and mother later fell ill and soon died. ”
There was no fluctuation on his face, and the real situation was not as bleak and breezy as he had described.
At that time, the Yuan family felt humiliated and returned the dowry, and later made things difficult in the wine industry. Mrs. Yan got into trouble because of Yan Yan and was sick for a long time. Yan Lao had no way to sell, most of the family was scattered, and Yanjiazhuang, who had a large expense, could only rely on selling his wealth to treat Mrs. Yan's illness. Unexpectedly, when she met a quack doctor, Mrs. Yan used the medicine prescribed by the quack doctor, and left that night with a glare. And the little remaining family wealth was also packed and secretly taken away by Ah Huo overnight, and Yan Lao couldn't stand the blow and threw himself into the river.
"I took the things at home and made a small deal, if it weren't for Qiong Sanniang, how could my family be like this, how could Qionghua die miserably......"
Yan Yan was halfway through speaking, he felt a foreign object between his throats, swallowed a few mouthfuls, and suddenly laughed.
"I actually don't hate Qiong Sanniang so much, I'm such a cowardly person, I hate myself, I've been looking for someone to come to Qionghua Village to make trouble in the past few years, but I don't want to admit that it was because of me that Qionghua died."
"Young Master Yan......" Yin Xian wanted to say something, but found that she couldn't interject at all.
Yan Yan smiled bitterly like this: "Actually, what Qiong Sanniang said is right, damn it, it's me, all these years, in addition to escaping, what am I doing?" Revenge? To whom is revenge? Even if Qiong Sanniang dies, Qionghua can't come back. ”
Although he was laughing, it was more uncomfortable than crying, and he had never confided in others the emotions he had suppressed in his heart over the years. Qionghua is the snowflake in his heart, he doesn't dare to open that memory to others privately, but once he opens his mouth, he can't stand the sadness anymore.
"After all, she also lost her daughter, what am I doing......"
Between the words, there was a commotion outside the door again, and only a little girl could be heard screaming sharply and bitterly, "Ah! Dead man! ”
Duan Huanian hurriedly went out to see, Wu Shi also hurriedly ran over when he heard the sound, and followed the direction of the sound, which was the room in front of Qiong Hua that Duan Huanian and his party went to just now.
Duan Huanian signaled, Wu Shi understood, took the gun and walked into Qionghua's room, and it was none other than her mother-in-law who fell to the ground!
Grandma's hand is the pair of boxes at the head of Qionghua's bed, the mother-in-law's kind eyebrows and kind eyes, even if she is gone, her face is kind, and there is a faint smile on the corner of her mouth. In the past few years, she has been blaming herself for her actions, thinking that Qionghua's death was her own fault, and she was suffering, and now she is going to Huangquan, if she can meet Qionghua, how will she look at Qionghua lovingly, and tell her that Grandma is coming to accompany her, and she can talk to Grandma.
Wu Shi knelt on the ground, clasped his hands together, and was thinking about what to say, when Qiong Sanniang had already broken in.
"Grandma?"
Wu Shi hurriedly waved his hand, "I said it in advance, I didn't kill the person, my mother-in-law is old, so I will leave." ”
Qiong Sanniang ignored Wu Shi and pushed her mother-in-law's body, "Grandma, you get up." ”
Wu Shi felt that Qiong Sanniang's move was really rude, and hurriedly stopped, "Hey, a little respect!" ”
"Okay, you're all going to accompany Ah Hua, and I'll keep me." Qiong Sanniang laughed, "Okay, is Ah Hua missing you, Ah Hua only calls you, did you call me?" ”
"You ......" Wu Shi only felt that Qiong Sanniang's expression was wrong, and he was stupid, and wanted to drag her, but Qiong Sanniang had already shaken off his hand, and he didn't care that his hair was scattered and his shoes fell off, and he ran out of the door laughing.
Wu Shi hurriedly bowed to his mother-in-law several times, and hurriedly went to chase Qiong Sanniang, and did not forget to call out to Duan Hua Nian.
Duan Huanian learned of the situation and asked his subordinates to clean up, and then returned to the house.
"Grandma is gone, Sanniang's condition, it seems that she is either crazy or stupid, Qionghuajiu doesn't think about it, when Wu Shi finds Sanniang back, we will get up and go on the road."
"That," Yan Yan broke the silence, "if it's Qionghua wine, I might know where to get it." ”
Yin Xian and Duan Huanian looked at him, he thought for a while, and returned: "Qionghua once wrote to me, she said that there is a room in Qionghua Village, which is a small secret room in the third corner of Qiong Sanniang's house on the right, Qiong Sanniang never let her in, I'm afraid there is a secret recipe for Qionghua wine, if you are lucky, there should be wine." ”
After speaking, Yan Yan slowly got out of bed, and walked out of the door by himself without the help of Duan Huanian and Yin Xian.
"Although I have come to Qionghuazhuang with those people many times, I never destroy the backyard house, this is the place where Qionghuahua stays, I also think they can be more complete, if she comes back, she can also recognize the home."
With that, he went out and led Duan Huanian Yin Xian to the secret room.
The small door is hidden and inconspicuous, it is the kind of treasury that hides treasures, after all, Duan Huanian's family also has a lot of warehouses of this kind of house......
However, to everyone's surprise, this door was not locked, it seems that Qiong Sanniang was in this room, and she was in a hurry to come out and forgot to lock the door.
Yin Xian didn't think it was good, so she grabbed Duan Huanian, "It's not good to trespass, it's better to wait for Sanniang to come back......"
Before the voice fell, Yan Yan had already creaked and pushed the door open.
"This!"
Everyone was amazed by what they saw, there were no recipes or wines in the house, just boxes and boxes of clothes and toys, but they were obviously old things left over from play.
"What is this?" Duan Huanian questioned.
Yan Yan had already started his hand, looked through them one by one, and suddenly tears flowed down like this, in his hands, there were dozens of portraits of Qionghua, from three years old to eighteen years old, every year she came to Qionghuazhuang, Qiong Sanniang would paint a picture for Qionghua, locked here, didn't you want Qionghua to see it?
Yin Xian asked, if it was an old thing that Qionghua had used since she was a child, why didn't she let Qionghua see it.
Duan Huanian pointed to a box, "These are the answers." ”
Yin Xian carefully looked at these boxes, and couldn't help but be surprised, these boxes are made of camphor, so it is not easy to have insects here, and the marriage girl often has the custom of cutting camphor to make boxes, and the pads in the box are all silk, which inherently means "two compartments guarding".
"You mean, these are the dowries that Qiong Sanniang prepared for Qiong Hua!"
"I'm afraid so." Duan Huanian nodded and looked at Yan Yan beside him.
Yan Yan was speechless, just clenched his fists slightly, staring at the room full of things, restraining himself from tears.
"Before I came, I heard that the production of Qionghua wine was not much, and although it was available on the market, I always felt that some of the original flavor was missing. Thinking about the time when I first heard these comments, it seems that there is no difference between the time of Qionghua's death. Yin Xian said.
Yan Yan spoke, "Later, Qionghuazhuang stopped producing wine, and when Qionghua left, Qionghua wine was no more." ”
"Will ...... Master! Master! I'm back looking for help! Wu Shi's voice broke in like this, Duan Huanian wanted to reprimand him for being reckless, Wu Shi hurriedly took a breath, "Qiong Sanniang is gone." ”
What the?!
It's really weird today, a grandma is gone, how can Qiong Sanniang ......
"I looked for a big circle, she ran too fast, and finally found her, she fell into the sea of flowers, ran out of breath, took a bell in her hand, and never let go...... It's also weird," Wu Shi scratched his head, "How can there be such a big sea of flowers in such a cold place." ”
"A sea of flowers?" Yan Yan suddenly asked, "You mean, the sea of Qionghua flowers in the back mountain?" Where are the flowers blooming? ”
"Yes, yes, that's it," Wu Shi didn't want to pay much attention to Yan Yan, and continued, "Then I'll find two helpers, okay Qiong Sanniang will carry it back." ”
"Be careful!" Yin Xian advised, Wu Shi nodded, turned around and sighed that today was too evil.
Duan Huanian saw Yan Yan's strange expression, "What are you going to do?" ”
"What else can I do now, if I come to take revenge, my goal has been achieved," Yan Yan lowered his head, "But Qionghua, does she want to do this?" ”
"There are still a few people in this Qionghua Village, and now that there is no owner, it is useless for them to stay." Duan Hua Nian said.
Yan Yan didn't answer, and limped out.
"Where are you going?" Yin Xian asked.
"See an old man."
"Don't stop him?" Yin Xian saw him go away and pulled Duan Huanian, and suddenly she was hugged by Duan Huanian, and couldn't help but feel a little strange, "What's wrong with you?" Loosen it up a bit...... Breathless......"
"It's okay, I'm happier than him," Duan Huanian rubbed Yin Xian's cheek, "At least, I can protect the person I like." ”
Yin Xian's cheeks flushed, and she changed the subject, "Then what are you going to do?" Qiong Sanniang and Grandma have to send them, as well as Yan Yan, and the rest of the people in the village. ”
"I will buy this village, renovate it, pay those subordinates, and clean it day and night."
Yin Xian was shocked, "However, now it seems that there is no Qionghua wine in the village, so why bother?" ”
Duan Huanian looked at the flying snow that never stopped, and a shallow kiss fell on Yin Xian's forehead.
"Sanniang and Grandma, let's bury them in this Fentou Mountain, repair Qionghua Village, and also think that in the future, they will return with Qionghua's soul, so that they will not have nowhere to rest."
He paused and looked in the direction Yan Yan left,
"Next time, he doesn't need to be masked and carry a knife, he comes in through the main entrance and tells Qionghua how he loves her."
Fentou Mountain, Back Mountain, Qionghua Flower Sea.
Yan Yan walked on the steps, the wind was mixed with snow, so that his eyes couldn't be opened, and he only felt that his feet slipped, and he fell into the mud.
There seemed to be a woman's crisp laughter in her ears, "Silly melon, it's okay." ”
He stood up and looked at the sea of flowers, and sure enough, it was in full bloom, just as they had seen it for the first time, the jade petals swaying in the snow, without a single blemish.
"Is it pretty?"
The voice seemed to be still in his ears.
"Do you like it?"
Yan Yan's eyes only felt that they were shrouded in something, and tears flowed down like this.
"Then no matter how difficult it is, you will come and marry me."
Yan Yan finally collapsed in the wind and snow, drowning himself in crying and falling to the ground.
"Yan, how do you love me?"
