Chapter 92: Chinese New Year's Eve (Middle)
Shao Sinan was stunned, a little awkward, this was the first time for her, she didn't know what to do, she just took the incense and stood there in her hand.
Jin Yu's eyes were astringent, he squeezed out a smile, lit another pillar of incense, and led Shao Sinan to kneel down in the corner.
There was no starlight in the sky because of the beautiful lights of Yongcheng, Jin Yu looked at the clouds in the sky and took a deep breath of cool air, bowed to the ground and said, "Dad! Mother! And Brother Xiwen, I helped you find your sister, she's still alive! It's just that she has no memory, but don't worry, I will definitely help my sister get her memory back, and one day I will eradicate the enemy and take her home, you bless Jinyu! ”
Jin Yu said, his heart had flown to the mulberry forest, in previous years he didn't know where his parents' bones were buried, but this year even if he knew, he couldn't take his sister to the grave to worship in person.
Jinyu's heart was full of helplessness, but there was a cold smile on her face, one day when she waited for Zhaoxue, she would always light a pillar of incense on the grave of her relatives.
Jin Yu was a little distracted, and the sound of firecrackers in the distance pulled him back, but he turned his head sideways and saw Shao Sinan holding the incense and staying in place.
"It's your first time, right? If you're not used to putting incense here, it's fine. ”
Shao Sinan just nodded and inserted the incense next to Jinyu's incense.
Jin Yu took out the paper money ingots from the baggage and lit them on the candle one by one, the burned straw paper, turned into a black butterfly in the night with endless resemblance slowly drifted to the sky, I don't know if someone is really guiding on the clouds, Shao Sinan just watched Jin Yu throw a handful of paper money and ingots into the fire, looking at his eyes sometimes cold, sometimes soaked with tears.
In a short time, all the packets of paper money were reduced to ashes, and the warmth of the firelight made both of their faces flushed.
"You often run out in the middle of the night like this, aren't you afraid of being discovered by them?" Shao Sinan got up and shook the dust on her body, tonight is Chinese New Year's Eve, although she is not wearing the fire cloud uniform of the Ice Royal Gate, but she is still wearing a pitch-black tight long clothes, how cold is a person's heart to wrap herself in darkness all year round.
"They won't wake up." Jin Yu smiled slightly, a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes, "Let's not talk about those disgusting people when we reunite today!" ”
I moved two stone benches, grabbed a handful of dry grass and put them on them, and the two sat opposite each other. Jin Yu added a few glasses of wine and spilled them on the ground to worship her deceased parents and younger siblings, Shao Sinan looked at a table of dishes and bowed her head silently, and when she looked up, Jin Yu saw that her eyes were already full of tears.
"Although I don't know if what you said is true or false, I didn't think about coming the moment I saw your news, but tonight there was a constant sound of firecrackers outside the Ice Royal Gate, and every family was sitting around the fireplace. I walked down the street and came here unconsciously. ”
Jinyu choked in his throat, some speechless, held back the sourness under his eyes, wiped away the tears that were about to come out, Jinyu whispered: "How have you spent Chinese New Year's Eve in the past ten years?" ”
"For the people in the Ice Gate, there is no Chinese New Year's Eve!" Shao Sinan smiled bitterly, "What the master told me from a young age is that the people of the Ice Royal Gate have no worries, no family, no friends!" Naturally, there is no such thing as reunion and Chinese New Year's Eve! ”
"You didn't ask your master about your background, such as how you got to the Ice Palace?"
"I've inquired!" Shao Sinan shook his head, "But it's useless, every time I mention my background, he immediately interrupts, I'm just an orphan he picked up from the side of the road, I was having a high fever when I found me, and I lost my memory because of this high fever." ”
Jinyu's hands were clenched into fists, and the joints "squeaked".
Shao Sinan picked up the wine glass on the case, drank several glasses in a row, and a flush appeared on his pale face, Shao Sinan looked at Jin Yu with confused eyes for a long time, and then called out with red eyes and difficulty, "Brother!" ”
This "brother" Jin Yu waited for a long time, and when he lowered his head, tears finally flowed out of his anger, he didn't know if Shao Sinan would call him in a sober state, but this voice in front of him, at least he was content.
Jin Yu put a dumpling in the small bowl in front of Shao Sinan and said: "I have to eat dumplings on the reunion night, this is the dumpling I made myself, you can taste it!" ”
Shao Si Nan's cheeks were crimson, and he pursed his lips and smiled: "I heard that the dumplings are to be wrapped in copper coins, and whoever is late will have good luck in the coming year!" Do you have any copper coin stuffing? ”
Jinyu smiled gently and nodded.
Shao Si Nan tilted his head, showed a little girl-like smile, reached out and put a dumpling in Jinyu's bowl and said, "Then you can also have one, and see which of us is lucky!" ”
Jin Yu's heart was mixed, and her smile was a sincere smile, but in this cold and broken temple, it was a little more poignant.
Shao Sinan wrapped the whole dumpling into his mouth, and a big bag bulged out on his cheeks. Jinyu looked at her as if she saw the innocent and lovely sister more than ten years ago, grabbing dumplings with herself on Chinese New Year's Eve.
I snatched a dumpling from my sister's bowl, but I didn't expect the bag to be a copper coin, my sister didn't do it, crying and ran to complain to my father, and my father had to give his red envelope to his sister in order to appease his sister.
The past was like a repetition in front of him, Jin Yu's eyes were full of water, and she couldn't see her sister in front of her clearly, so she wiped her eyes and saw Shao Sinan spread her hands and looked at herself with a smile.
Kunlun is the best in the wine, and the stamina is the most, Shao Sinan's cheeks are flushed until the back of his ears, and even a pair of plain hands have become pink, and there is a shiny copper coin lying in the palm of his hand.
"I've eaten it! Haha"
Jin Yu stretched out her hand and touched Shao Si Nan's hand and said, "It seems that your luck is very good in the coming year, I will touch it and transfer the good luck to me a little!" ”
"Don't give it!" Shao Sinan shrank his hand, hid it under his armpit, and pouted: "If you don't give it to you, you won't give it to you!" ”
Originally, he said it with a smile, but Shao Sinan said until the corners of his mouth twitched at the end, but he cried, and finally even lay his head on the table.
A long-lost New Year's dinner should have been eaten happily, but it was mixed and sour in my heart.
"Sister!" Jin Yu knew the bitterness in Shao Si Nan's heart, and from the time he saw her and found her full of scars, he knew how difficult it had been for his sister for more than ten years.
"Brother!" Shao Sinan raised his face, tears flowed down her delicate face, the wine was drunk, but the heart was not drunk, and the pain that Shao Sinan had suppressed in his heart for many years finally broke out.
Finally, just like when she was a teenager, she threw herself into Jinyu's arms and cried.
"You know what? I miss you so much, I miss my father and mother so much! Shao Sinan lay in Jin Yu's arms, and his voice was like a wall, "But I don't have any memories of when I was a child, no matter how much I miss you, but I can't sketch what they look like!" ”
Jin Yu was silent, so she could only hug her sister hard, and use his cold arms for many years to warm her sister's heart, which had also been cold for many years, hoping that she could find a little face-to-face warmth in a strange and familiar embrace.
