In the middle of the night, I saw you hovering beside my bed, and we hugged each other gently.

You said to me gently: From now on, your life bears two souls.

Dongzhu opened her eyes and saw a cloud of darkness. In the middle of the pitch black, there is a faint silhouette of a humanoid. She remembered what had happened in her dream and reached out to the silhouette. When she was halfway through, the silhouette moved, and she was so busy withdrawing her hand that she called out in a very soft voice: "Mother! ”

In the dark, there was no response.

Dongzhu thought of the scene in the dream just now, she saw her fiancé standing in front of the bed, his eyes were bright, and his smile was warm. He approached him gently, then leaned down and hugged her up. She hung down shyly, but she couldn't feel the speed of her heartbeat.

That's right! She didn't seem to have touched her heartbeat in a long time.

Looking up at her mother hidden in the night, she asked softly: "Mother!" You tell me, am I dead? ”

Again, there was no sound to answer her, but the mother approached her little by little from the darkness, and then stretched out a pair of arms that were as thin as dry wood to wrap around her tightly.

Dongzhu was a little nervous. In my memory, it seems that since she was five or six years old, her mother has never hugged her like this. She cautiously responded to her mother's hug, "Mother! Zhuzhu knew that she was wrong, Zhuzhu shouldn't have said the words just now, which made her mother sad! ”

The mother patted Dongzhu on the back, took her hand, and slowly walked out of the darkness. In the room, red candles were lit again, and in the flickering candlelight, there was a faint fragrance.

The mother pointed outside and signaled that Dongzhu could go out for a walk. Dongzhu smiled and shook his head.

"Mother! Look at Zhuzhu's face, isn't it much better? This is all the medicine given to Zhuzhu by the Ruyi girl in the Ruyi Rouge Shop. ”

The mother patted Dongzhu's hand with relief and pointed out the window again.

"Dongzhu knows what her mother means, does her mother want Zhuzhu to go to Xianggong? However, Zhuzhu is not in a hurry! Dongzhu looked outside, the crescent moon had just risen, and it was a good weather with bright stars and sparse stars: "Zhuzhu has been waiting for Xianggong for so many years, and it is not bad for two days on this day." Besides, everyone else has returned, and Zhuzhu has nothing to see him for a day or two. It was the Ruyi girl who gave Zhuzhu these medicines and didn't charge any money, Zhuzhu couldn't help but go, and promised her to help her embroider something. Mother, you see, these fabrics were given by Miss Ruyi, and she also asked Li Gongzi to tell Zhuzhu, saying that if there were more of these fabrics, Zhuzhu could be left by herself. ”

The mother looked at Dongzhu with her eyes open, and Dongzhu smiled shyly and shyly.

"Mother! Miss Ruyi is kind-hearted, there are far more fabrics than Zhuzhu saw when she was in her store, and she deliberately left them for Zhuzhu. ”

The mother patted Dongzhu's hand and pointed to the moon in the sky, feeling very anxious.

Dongzhu didn't know that her time was running out! Over the years, the reason why she has been able to stay in the world is all because of her mother's blood. Now, Dong Zhuniang is also dead, and she has exhausted her strength, and she can only get these for her.

Tonight, it's the seventh day of the new month. When the fifteenth moon is full, Dongzhu Niang will leave, and Dongzhu will also leave at that time.

Dongzhu misunderstood what her mother meant, she carefully helped her aside, lowered her head and got busy.

One night, two nights, three nights, on the evening of the tenth day of the new year, Dongzhu finally finished making the bride's wedding robe, and embroidered a red hijab by the way. It's just a trick, it's simpler than I expected. Because my mother was always making trouble on the side, urging her to go out.

Dongzhu thought in her heart, forget the hijab, and the purse and embroidered shoes later, but you have to do it more carefully, otherwise, how to be worthy of the trust of the Ruyi girl and the intention of fulfillment.

When I left the house, I walked with my heart, and before I knew it, I walked to the place where I met Xianggong for the first time. What was once a willow tree is now a bare trunk, and even the stone slab that rests under the willow tree has been broken in half.

Just as she wanted to sigh, she saw a familiar shadow, and she panicked and hid behind the willow tree.

This is none other than her fiancé Liu Haiyan, who had already made a marriage contract with Dongzhu a few years ago.

Liu Haiyan stood under the tree, looked up, and looked at the moon overhead, his eyes were blurred, but his ears were still quite sensitive.

"Who's hiding there? Come out! ”

Dongzhu pinched the corner of his clothes with his hand and slowly moved out from behind. Liu Haiyan turned around, his eyes met, Dongzhu quickly lowered his head, but Liu Haiyan smiled heartily.

"It's you!"

"Young Master Liu!"

Dong Zhu blessed his body and got up, his eyes slightly staggered, but he couldn't help but secretly look at him with the corner of his eye.

"We met, and then I wanted to ask the girl, why did the girl come here alone in the middle of the night?"

"What about Young Master Liu? Why did Childe come here alone late at night? Dongzhu asked rhetorically, her cheeks bulging, and she looked very cute.

"Me?" Liu Haiyan raised his head again and looked at the moon in the sky: "I don't know, it's just that every late at night, I come here involuntarily." Also, this place was a very important place for me, but I can't remember anything. ”

"Childe forgot?" Dongzhu asked in a low voice, and her right hand couldn't help but cover her chest. Although she hadn't felt the frequency of the heart beating in her chest for a long time, she would still subconsciously make this action when she was nervous.

Liu Haiyan noticed Dongzhu's small movements, and something seemed to flash in his mind, but the picture was too fast, and before he could catch it, it was gone.

"Girl, do you know my past?"

Dongzhu opened her mouth, remembering her face that had not yet healed, and then shook her head again: "No! Dongzhu didn't know Childe's past, but just remembered some things about her past. ”

"Does it have anything to do with this?"

"Relevant!" Dongzhu looked at the scenes and objects shrouded in the moonlight, and said, "The first time I met my father-in-law, it was here. That day, it suddenly rained heavily, and I hurried over there, because I had my head down, and accidentally bumped into him. I was scared and blamed myself, so I hurriedly apologized to him.

Unbeknownst to me, he actually moved the umbrella in his hand above my head, and escorted me back to my home without a word of reproach from beginning to end. Until now, I can't forget that when I apologized to him, the smile on his face, like the sunshine after the rain, instantly warmed up. ”

"On a rainy day, everyone is in a hurry to go home. The road surface is slippery, and it is normal to bump into it. A man shouldn't have to deal with a girl's family in the first place, but this person is doing a good job. ”

"Does Liu Gongzi think so too?"

"If it were me, I would do that, wouldn't I? It's a pity, I'm afraid I didn't have the fate to meet such a beautiful and lovely girl. ”

Dongzhu blushed slightly, "My fiancé said the same thing at the time. ”

"And then? Between you, did you really form a husband and wife? ”

"Not either!" Dongzhu shook his head: "After that, we met a few times, each time we met in a hurry, but the picture of each encounter was so different." Anyway, every time I was embarrassed, and he always smiled tolerantly. ”

"This shows that you and your fiancé are destined by heaven!"

"I thought it was like that, too." Dongzhu clenched his fingers: "That year, when I turned sixteen years old, there were suddenly many people in my family. My mother suffered when she was young, so I hope that the husband I am looking for is at least my own heart. So, he secretly asked me to hide behind the curtain and watch. I have looked at many people, but none of them are satisfied, not because of their family background, nor because of their looks, but when I see them, I always think of that person, and think of the warm smile on his lips.

Maybe God heard my prayer and he appeared. I rushed out from behind the curtain. At that time, he was also stunned, and then he smiled. He told my mother that he was willing to marry me, to cherish me for the rest of his life, and to treat me well for the rest of his life. ”

"And then, he broke his word?" Liu Haiyan looked around: "If he really does what he said, he shouldn't let you come here alone late at night." ”

"No, he didn't break his word, he just lost the news!" Dongzhu looked at Liu Haiyan motionlessly: "Soon after we made a marriage, the imperial court made an order, and he went to the border with the army, and he has been gone for many years, and there is no news." They all said that he was dead, dead on the battlefield. But I don't believe it, how can he die like that as a good person? Besides, he also knew that I was still waiting for him at home. ”

"It turned out that he also went to the battlefield. In that place, ten people will go, and I am afraid that only one person will be able to return. Liu Haiyan lowered his head and rolled up the sleeve of his right hand. In the moonlight, there are oozing scars. Dongzhu's nose was sour, and she hurriedly turned her face away.

"It's not too early, I'm going home, Liu Gongzi, please go back early, so as not to worry about the people at home."

"Good!" Liu Haiyan nodded: "Tomorrow, are you still coming?" I mean, can I see you here tomorrow night? ”

Dongzhu nodded shyly, then lifted the corner of her skirt and fled back.

When Liu Haiyan returned home, the light in the hall was still on, and he saw his mother sitting at the head of the bed, carefully wiping it for him. So he shook his head, smiled bitterly, and slowly walked in.

"Dad, Yan'er has been asleep for a few years, can't he really wake up?"

"Didn't the doctor say that? More than ten years, less than seven or eight years, when the time comes, you will always wake up. ”

Haiyan's father gently hugged his wife: "Let's rest, there are girls to take care of, Haiyan will be fine." ”

Liu Haiyan tried to get close to his father, but found that there was an invisible wall between him and his father, and he had tried to tell his father that he was still alive and right in front of them. But my father and mother can't hear or see.

Father and mother walked past him, and he heard his mother say in an extremely pitying tone: "I always feel sorry for Zhuzhu's good girl. If I had told her the true situation of Yan'er at that time, maybe the things that followed might not have happened. ”

"The past has passed, and you don't have to talk to Yan'er about these words. Although he did not open his eyes, it did not mean that he could not hear. ”

Hai Yan Niang glanced at Hai Yan's father tangledly, and sighed heavily.

Liu Haiyan listened carefully, but he couldn't remember who the good girl in his mother's mouth was? He tried to return to his body, tried to completely sober himself up, but no matter how much he did, it was in vain. His body seemed to be put into a formation, and no matter how bravely he charged, he could never find the way to break the formation.
