At this time, the woman had lit all the lotus lanterns, lit three sticks of incense and inserted them on the ground, held a lamp in her hand and said to the boy: "Yunjiao, come and say a few words to my father!" ”

The boy sensibly took the lotus lamp in the woman's hand, his eyebrows furrowed together, as if he was sorting out what he wanted to say, but his eyes were already full of tears.

"Daddy! Mother! The rhyme frame misses you. Yunjiao is a year older again, you can rest assured that I can take care of my sister when I grow up, and I won't make her work so hard! ”

For sibling affection, Jin Yu had an irresistible emotion, Jin Yu's eyes were covered with a layer of tears, and the boy's cool tears had slipped down. The woman had tears in her eyes, but with a smile on her lips, she reached out and gently stroked away the tears from the boy's chat.

A river lantern swaying in the distance, carrying people's lovesickness and wishes.

The woman reached out and put a river lantern into the water, Jinyu couldn't see her movements, only heard her say softly: "Dad! Mother! Yun Jing has lived up to your trust, Yun Jian has grown up again, he is sensible and smart! Don't worry, I will definitely fulfill your wishes. ”

"Sister! What is Daddy's wish? The boy asked, looking up.

The woman paused: "I'll tell you when you grow up!" ”

Perhaps this was too much to say, and the boy pouted, squeezed an innocent smile and did not ask any further.

The woman who only listened said again: "Father, mother! Our original home was destroyed, and those bad guys came again, although this time it wasn't for us, but for safety, I took my younger brother to Yiwangfu, and I am now an embroidery girl in the palace, and my younger brother can be a companion to the little master after the New Year, and the princess treats us very well, you two old people can rest assured. ”

"Yi Wangfu!" Jin Yu's heart moved, and she couldn't help but stick out her head and glance at it again, and recorded the boy's appearance carefully.

"This year, my sister has lit an extra river lantern, do you have something to say to your uncle and aunt!" The boy said, pointing to one of the remaining river lamps on the ground.

"Yes! Every year, my sister will light a river lantern for my aunt and uncle! The woman lifted the river lamp on the ground and took the hood off her head, and this time Jin Yu finally saw the face of the woman named Shen Yunjing clearly.

The age looks similar to himself, he didn't apply a little fat powder on his face, and he casually pulled a bun of green silk on his head, and inserted a plain silver crown, which was decorated with a few pearls of different sizes. Wearing a long azure skirt and a small royal blue jacket, although people are not stunning at a glance, they are also beautiful and moving, elegant like a plum blossom.

It's just that these two sisters and brothers don't seem to be like each other at all!

"Uncle, auntie, although I don't know what your surname is, and I don't know where you are now, whether you are alive or deceased, but please believe me, I will definitely find you with the rhyme frame!"

"My sister says this every year, but we don't know the names of my aunts and uncles, how to find them!"

"There is a jade pendant left by my uncle and aunt!" The woman stroked her chest, as if there was some treasure there, "This jade pendant was left by my uncle and aunt back then, and I will definitely find it with it." ”

Jin Yu's heart was suspicious when he heard this, and he was as sensitive as he guessed if it was another tragedy, otherwise since it was an uncle and aunt who was to worship every year, he didn't know life and death, and he didn't even know his name.

And I heard them say that the jade pendant suddenly remembered that several brothers and sisters in their family used to be a jade pendant with ice flowers in their hands, and the carving was a picture of the spring of the Tuanyun carp, but their own had long been lost in the fire, and Wen Xue's sister was broken that year, and she was sent to the jade shop for repair and did not get it back, and the family suffered an accident. The youngest Wenjing had a piece, but Wenjing's sister didn't even find the corpse, and the youngest brother's jade had died tragically before it could be made.

The green smoke curled in the river lantern and traveled far away, and finally turned into a few lonely grains of light as faint as stars in the milky white mist, and the two sisters and brothers stopped on the shore and looked at each other, as if they were bidding farewell to the people who traveled far away, until the last bit of light was swallowed up by the darkness in the distance.

The night was getting colder and colder, and every breath exhaled was condensed into a white mist.

The two sisters and brothers should burn all the paper money ingots they brought.

"Sister, we should go back!" The lights of the city illuminated Yongcheng through, but the street was empty, and the boy looked nervously at the empty long street around him, with a look of horror in his eyes.

The woman nodded, put the hood back on, helped the boy straighten the cloak, patted the ashes off the two of them, and then pulled the basket and walked all the way down the river.

Just a pair of lonely siblings! Jin Yu thought in her heart that although she was a person from the Yi Wangfu, why not send them herself.

The sister and brother walked in front, and Jinyu followed behind unhurriedly, only listening to the two chatting without a word.

"Did you go back so late and get in the door?" The boy was worried.

"Don't worry! I told Uncle Su, who was guarding the door, that he would open the door for us when we went back, and he wouldn't disturb the prince and princess! ”

While the two were talking, Jin Yu guessed a dead branch under his feet, and made a crisp sound, Jin Yu quickly flashed behind a pillar, only to hear an exclamation from the woman in front of him: "Who is there!" ”

Jin Yu held her breath and waited for the woman's surprise to pass, but the voices of the two did not stop, only hearing the boy's immature voice repeatedly: "Sister, who is that?"

Jinyu reacted that she might not be talking about herself, poked her head out to look, and saw the woman holding the boy tightly, stepping back step by step, and in front of them was a drunken man.

Look at whether he drank high but drank very high, his face was red and became the color of pig liver, although the clothes on his body looked very good, and they were also thick brocades, but after drinking high, he had already been torn apart, and his chest was even exposed in the cold winter.

The drunken man, with red eyes, looked directly at the woman, and muttered indistinctly: "Little lady! looks so beautiful, accompany my grandfather back for the New Year! ”

As he spoke, the hand that was still holding the wine jug came in and grabbed the two sisters and brothers, and the boy rushed towards the man desperately for the purpose of protecting his sister at a young age, and shouted in his mouth: "Dengzi, you are not allowed to despise my sister." ”

After all, a child is a child, and the man is also an adult strong man after all, although he is drunk, but the strength in his hand is also big enough, Yunzhen pounced on it, and was caught by the man like a chicken, and threw it into the river.

Shen Yunqing shouted in fright: "Rhyme! ”

What can she do as a weak woman, watching her brother being thrown out, not to mention how cold the river is, neither of them can water. And the younger brother is still the trust of his parents when they are dying, if the younger brother has anything, how can he be nostalgic for the world.

Thinking that she could get away with her brother, and at the same time thinking that she was going to die and die together, the woman threw herself into the river without hesitation after she screamed.
