Chapter Eighty-Five: Conversation
After a strange look, over the moon gate, the unique smell of incense in the temple gradually faded, and when you stepped out of the marble threshold, the unique coolness of the mountains blew away the last trace of fragrant fragrance wafting on the side of the nose, leaving only a refreshing slight coolness.
Mingyue took a heavy breath, and her slightly astringent throat only improved. She tightened the cold hand she was holding at her side, her thoughts were complicated, and she pretended to be relaxed.
"At this time, most of the people in the temple are gathered in the front hall, and this is the back mountain of the temple, no one else will break in, you, if you are sad, don't be strong......" she said, she blinked her sour eyes, and the corners of her mouth pulled out a stiff arc.
"Don't worry, I won't turn around!" It seems that he is worried that the person behind him will not believe it, and in the hand that is holding each other, the strength can't help but be a little heavier.
Ouyang Qi looked at the stiff figure in front of him, his grip on his hand continued to tighten, his throat twitched slightly, and the bottom of his heart shrouded in grief seemed to suddenly pass through a few rays of sunshine, like a mountain covered by heavy snow all day suddenly warmed, making him a little unable to adapt for a while.
"Actually......" Mingyue seemed to glance at her extremely unintentionally, her face hesitated, and her voice couldn't help but be a little weak.
"I don't know what my grandmother said to you in the letter, but I know that it must be full of my grandmother's love for you. Want to come ......."
The overwhelming breath came from behind, Mingyue looked down at the pale hands around her waist, and the hot breath rushed to the shoulder socket, with a little wetness. For a moment, her mind was a little chaotic, and the comfort that had been brewing in her mouth instantly turned into ice cubes, and the roots were accurately inserted into the weakest part of her heart. It turned out that Fang Cai's words were too easy......
"Mingyue ......" After a moment, the breath behind him had calmed down, and a hoarse call came out.
"Huh?"
"You ......"
Ouyang Qi, who suddenly woke up, smiled bitterly, and the words that were still in his throat were swallowed back into his stomach in an instant, and the breath he missed was everywhere in his nose, just now he was dizzy for a while, and he actually imagined that the two could be together for a lifetime.
It's just that he knows that since he confessed that day, before that wanton and flirtatious smile, everything has been irreversible...... But the words changed.
"Thank you, thank you for being by my side......"
"Idiot! This is too early to say thank you! Mingyue stretched out her hand to cover the slight coolness on her waist, smiled slightly, glanced at the dense forest in the back mountain, sighed lightly, and said.
"Well, since I received your thank you early, if I don't do something, I can't say anything!"
Mingyue took the hand on her waist, turned around, and looked at those reddish eyes with a little confusion, laughing and feeling a little sad at the same time. Unconsciously, her hand was already covering Ouyang Qi's face, and her fingertips gently rubbed Ouyang Qi's eyelids, and she said softly.
"But I want to see my grandmother......"
After saying that, without waiting for Ouyang Qi to react, the hand covering his eyelids was gently raised. Looking at the eyes as clear as a clear pool, from confusion to strangeness, to surprise, and finally mixed joy......
"Grandmother?"
After looking at each other for a long time, after hesitation, the tightly closed lips trembled slightly, and Ouyang Qi finally spoke. Looking at the figure standing in the dense forest twenty zhang away trembling in response, Ouyang Qi came to his senses, hurriedly stepped forward with stiff feet, and staggered towards the dense forest.
"Grandmother!"
Excited for a moment and in a hurry to walk, a layer of blush appeared on his pale face, Ouyang Qi stood in front of the old lady with an unsteady breath, and before the two of them could react, he threw off his clothes and knelt straight down in front of the old lady.
"Silly boy! What are you doing ......?"
The old lady's eyes were moist suddenly, and she hurriedly bent down to help. Unexpectedly, the trembling hands went straight through Ouyang Qi's arms as if they had met nothing. For a while, there was a bit of desolation separated by yin and yang, and I didn't know what to say to comfort my grandson who was kneeling in front of me......
"Xianggong, parents who are affected by the body, if you kneel like this, your grandmother must feel very distressed, you better get up quickly, don't make your grandmother sad." seemed to know what the old lady was thinking, and Mingyue wanted to help Ouyang Qi up.
"Grandmother, grandson is not filial!" Ouyang Qi shook his head, looking at the old lady with shame and sadness, and his hoarse voice was particularly clear in the dense forest.
"When my grandmother was alive, my grandson did not fulfill my filial piety, even the death of my grandmother, which was also an afterthought, and taught people to make a lot of noise above my grandmother's mourning hall, which made my grandmother uneasy. If the grandmother is willing to scold a few words, the grandson is more comfortable. ”
"Stinky boy!"
When the old lady suddenly heard Ouyang Qi's words, she covered her heart suddenly, took a few steps back with tears in her eyes, frowned, pointed at Ouyang Qi tremblingly, and shouted.
"Listen to your daughter-in-law and get up quickly. Don't you want my heart and liver to be alive and painful into a few petals before you can feel at ease! ”
Hearing this, Mingyue and Ouyang Qi were both wide-eyed, and they looked at the old lady who was like a great compassion Guanyin monk and suddenly shouted hoarsely, but it was no different from the grandmother of ordinary people who taught their grandchildren, which made them stunned for a while.
Mingyue still reacted, her eyes blinked, and she hurriedly helped Ouyang Qi up, who was stunned. I secretly recorded in my heart that mortals had become ghosts, and without the many constraints of the mortal world, they were so fierce.
It's just that she doesn't know that as the widow of Jiangmen, how can the old lady be an ordinary boudoir lady, and if she doesn't have a bit of majesty, how can she hold the former general's mansion. It's just that the wind, frost, rain and snow of life have already taught her to sharpen the edges and corners smoothly.
The old lady also seemed to realize her gaffe, and suppressed the grief on her face, stretched out her hand to cut her hair, and her tone was a little harsh.
"Since you were born, I have left you in that filthy place like a wolf's den, and if I say anything ugly, I will leave you to fend for yourself. Now that I'm gone, you have a grudge in your heart, just say it. If it is a lie, then keep it in your belly, and do not take into account the etiquette and dogma of this worldly world. ”
"You!"
Mingyue listened to the words of the old lady, and her heart inexplicably ignited with rage, her eyes widened, and her cheeks bulged, and she wanted to return the mouth.
"If it's really as grandmother said, why would grandmother put Qingluo next to her grandson." Ouyang Qi's tone was flat, and he didn't seem to hear the old lady's words.
"That child was just rescued by me, but there was nowhere to place it, so I put it next to you."
"Which room in the house is safer than mine, how my grandmother is, my grandson knows it. Why should grandmother destroy her reputation. ”
"I'm just telling the truth! Or you don't want to face it! ”
"Sun Tzu is just telling the truth."
The words were behind, and the silence shuttled back and forth between the three of them. Mingyue's belly was full of words, and she pursed her mouth tightly, for fear that a few words would spill out if she was not careful. The eyes wandered, and the strange gaze wandered back and forth between the two people who looked at each other calmly.
"Do you know why I came to live in this temple permanently?"
Looking at the faces of his husband and son in front of him, although he was a little sickly pale, the firmness in them was not weaker than that of his fathers who were charging into battle. She knew that the thin baby who had fallen to the ground at the beginning had really grown up......
"Although I don't know the details, I can also know the approximate." Hearing this, Ouyang Qi's clear eyes couldn't help but smile a little more.
The old lady glanced at Mingyue, and exhaled a breath of turbidity as if helplessly, recalling the events of the year, her face was still a little dignified.
"Back then, after you fell to the ground, the house received bad news one after another, which made people panic. Just above the mourning hall of your three fathers, a Taoist priest who claimed to know your past and future suddenly appeared on the mourning hall. ”
"At that time, as the rumors had said, he said that you were a bad person who had brought disaster to his family. But I knew that he was not a person, so I withdrew from others and asked about the way to get rid of them. ”
The man pulled out a string of wind chimes, which was no different from that of an ordinary temple. But he said that this is the door of your death, and the door of your life. Although hanging this wind chime cannot ensure your happiness and well-being in life, it will definitely turn evil into good fortune. And this wind chime is a sacred object that recognizes the Lord, and it will not disappear unless it changes hands. ”
"It's just that this string of wind chimes is not enough. Because you are born with a bad temperament, and God has its own fixed number, if God knows that your destiny has changed greatly, I am afraid that the bamboo basket will be empty. So the solution is for me to leave you alone in the house, coldly alienate you, and let your aunt plot to kill you......"
As she spoke, the old lady seemed to be a little choked, and the wind, frost, rain and snow of time had left mottled marks on her face, which seemed to be more obvious at this time. Her drooping eyelids lifted, a hint of weirdness flashed in her cloudy eyes, and she continued.
Such a life must teach people to have no desire to love the world. Therefore, the Taoist priest also found a family affair for you, and the woman is also born with a body of evil energy, and Yin and Yang are harmonized, so as to dissolve your evil spirit. When you get married, you will be like an ordinary person......"
Listening to the old lady's words, Mingyue's heart gradually became cold, and all kinds of facts in her mind that she didn't want to face swirled back and forth. She stared silently at her toes, her eyes unblinking, her nails sinking deep into her palms, as if they were about to pierce them. She was afraid, afraid to look at those clear eyes with questioning......
"No wonder ......"
With the familiar voice, Mingyue was suffocated in her heart, as if some thousands of hands were holding it down at the same time, as if she was going to pull it out fiercely......
"My grandson said that since I married Mingyue, my grandson has felt very happy. The grandson realized that the world also has colors and temperatures. ”
Mingyue didn't raise her head, Ouyang Qi's words seemed to have pulled out her heart fiercely, leaving her empty and at a loss......
Looking at the two people in front of her, the corners of the old lady's eyes were a little sour, and her cloudy eyes were full of worry, but in the end, she only sighed.
"You idiot!"
The trembling hand drew closer to the gentle smile, perhaps the smile was too warm, or her hand was too cold to reach. But the old lady still caressed it kindly, and the slightly curved corners of her mouth brought out a few fine lines, and smiled.
"Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and it's time for me, an old woman, to let go."
"Grandmother......" Ouyang Qi also curled the corners of his mouth, reached out to hold the transparent hand in front of him, and his slightly curved eyes shone with a little light.
"I'm getting old, and I'm already looking down on life and death. I don't want to pursue the eldest daughter-in-law's actions this time, and our Ouyang family also owes her a lot. It's just that the only thing I care about in this world is you, silly boy! If you want your grandmother to have peace of mind, you can live happily and happily! ”
After finishing speaking, the old lady turned her eyes sideways and looked at Mingyue who bowed her head and was silent, her voice was a little flat.
"Qi'er, I have something to say to your daughter-in-law......
