The man's figure was extremely tall, his two shoulders were a little shrugged to hold the suit tightly, the light shone on his gray hair, and the bare piece in the center of the top of his head was very obvious, although the man's back was to Bai Chunhe and this side, but this person, Bai Chunhe vaguely felt a little familiar.

As Bai Chunhe got closer, the conversation between them became clearer, but it was still a little vague.

"Sasha, I'...... You...... Good no good? ”

The man's words had a strong regional accent, which was not very easy to understand, but the tone could be felt to be requesting.

"Don't be like this, we're all old people, don't let others see the jokes. It's impossible between us, just be an ordinary friend, okay? ”

Martha shook her head as she spoke, her words were tactful, but her expression was a little hesitant.

The man said, "I don't think it's good. What jokes to watch? Your husband has been dead for more than ten years, and it's not easy for you to raise two children. I'm with you, and I'm here to help you. My wife has divorced me a long time ago, and we are justified together. It's a new era, and you don't have to be widowed anymore. ”

Embarrassed and annoyed, Martha stomped heavily on the ground. "You can't say that. If you say that again, I'll leave

。 ”

Before she could finish speaking, Martha turned around and was about to leave.

The man said anxiously: "Sasha, don't you know that I have a heart for you?" After my wife and I divorced, I have been waiting for you for a few words. I didn't even look at how many merry widows others introduced me. People are in this life, why do you care too much about the eyes of those eight women? ”

As he spoke, the man and Marsala got into a tug.

Bai Chunhe was afraid that this man would bully his mother, so he was anxious at the moment, his feet seemed to be speeding up like a rocket, he didn't care too much, he kicked on the bluestone slab with one foot, and the whole person jumped over the threshold of the side hall and fell between the two people impartially.

Bai Chunhe glared with straight eyebrows: "Stop!" What are you doing? ”

The two who were talking were interrupted by Bai Chunhe, and Masha saw Bai Chunhe's appearance, as if a drowning person had seen a lifebuoy, and hurriedly stretched out her slender hand to grab Bai Chunhe's arm. Bai Chunhe leaned back, covering her slightly behind him, and looked at the man with a solemn face.

Bai Chunhe saw the man's face clearly, and shouted, "Hey, Uncle Chen, why are you here?" ”

After his father's whereabouts were unknown, the life of the family was very difficult, often to the point where they couldn't open the pot.

This Uncle Chen had helped her family many times, and every time when the two siblings started school, he would bring some money and food such as rice oil, which was borrowed in the name of borrowing, but in fact never asked Ma Sha to pay back the money.

Later, the family's economic conditions were a little better, and Chen Shenghua rarely came to their house.

Chen Shenghua's eyes swept over, and he was surprised to find that the girl in front of him was unspeakably amazing. Her hair is as smooth as water, and she is draped straight over her shoulders. Two watery eyes, with a talking affection.

Her fashionable dress, in particular, was clearly out of step with everything in the ravine. A short black dress, neither long nor short. A pair of stockings of the same color, tightly wrapped around the delicate girl.

It's just that one of the stockings slipped down during the run, which was not particularly elegant, but a little more vigorous and energetic.

Although the girl in front of her is not as familiar as Ma Shayan and looks like water, it is obviously another grade. Youthful, especially her eyes, as long as you look at them, it is hard to forget them in this life.

The girl's appearance is very similar to Martha, presumably Martha's daughter Bai Chunhe.

"I came to burn incense and worship the Buddha, and it is said that the gods here are very spiritual. Bai Chunhe, you were still a little kid back then, I haven't seen you for many years, and you have grown so big. Chen Shenghua raised his hand and touched Bai Chunhe's hair.

Bai Chunhe didn't dodge either, it was the first time she saw Chen Shenghua so closely, and he was not much shorter than me at this distance.

Although the man's long face has not yet relaxed, it has been piled up with a lot of wrinkles up close, these are the traces of time, and the pair of eyes under the two thick black eyebrows are extremely warm, and he is looking at Bai Chun and this uninvited guest with a smile at the moment.

"And what kind of wish did you make?" Bai Chun asked.

"I'm sure you heard that, too. I made a wish to be with your mother, and I could have a companion when I was old. Chen Shenghua said generously.

Martha, on the other hand, kept her head down, her face flushed, and her feet kept rubbing on the ground. "It's a lot older, what's so embarrassing."

Bai Chunhe persuaded: "Marriage is not a child's play. Don't be in a hurry, give me some time and let my mom think about it. I think I will give you a satisfactory answer in the future. ”

Chen Shenghua sighed and said, "I've been waiting for more than ten years, and it's not bad for a while, Martha, I'll wait for your reply anytime and anywhere." ”

Bai Chunhe thought that the two of them would only be very embarrassed if they stayed in the future, so he said, "Okay, then I'll take my mother to breakfast first." ”

Bai Chunhe took Martha and left.

Martha walked out of the side hall and said tiredly: "I don't want to eat anymore, I want to sleep." ”

Bai Chunhe knew that his mother had just recovered from a serious illness, and he was stimulated by this again, but he couldn't bear it anymore, so he didn't force it down. "Okay. Let's go back. ”

The two went back to their rooms.

Martha changed into her pajamas.

Bai Chunhe looked at her carefully in the morning light.

In front of her, the mother was wearing a loose white cotton nightdress, and her concave and convex graceful figure was faintly visible in the fabric, revealing two slender and straight, slender snow-white jade legs under the hem of the nightdress.

After recovering from a serious illness, Martha went to the barber shop to get her long hair, and now her burgundy long wavy curls are naturally draped around her waist, making her already thin delicate body look a lot more slender.

At this time, there was a kind of dazed and overwhelmed small animal after being frightened on her gentle and elegant jade face in the past, and a pair of Qiushui eyes looking at Bai Chunhe were more uneasy to pray.

Bai Chunhe knew that his mother was not the kind of person who was unexpected.

She cares most about her two children.

What does Mother pray for?

Are you worried that your children will not be able to accept that you will marry again?

After his father disappeared, many people introduced them to their mothers.

The mother was worried that the stepfather would abuse the children, but they all refused one by one. All these years have been carried by one person.

At first, thinking that his mother had come to such a point for the sake of his children, Bai Chunhe felt an indescribable pain in his heart, and he couldn't help but turn around and walk up, reaching out to take Masha into his arms.

Ma Sha leaned on Bai Chunhe's arms very obediently, two slender arms wrapped around Bai Chunhe's waist from behind, and the whole person fell on Bai Chunhe's body. Bai Chunhe felt that the body of the woman in her arms had been trembling, what she had experienced this morning was too complicated, the only thing Bai Chunhe could do was to hug her tightly, and with the temperature of Bai Chunhe's arms, she gradually calmed down.

In the end, it was the meat that fell from his body, which was the most intimate.

"Don't let me go, okay?"

Martha raised her head and bit her lower lip lightly, her face a little apprehensive.

"Well, don't be afraid, I'm always there for you."

Under Bai Chunhe's soft voice, Ma Sha's uneasiness was finally relieved, and her beautiful double eyelids seemed to be closed, as if Bai Chunhe's voice had a hypnotic effect. Bai Chunhe saw that she was gradually tired, so he gently carried her to the big bed and put it away, and then thoughtfully pulled the quilt for her.

Then Bai Chunhe also changed into pajamas and lay directly into the quilt.

The quilt was light and warm, with the unique body fragrance on her body, lying on this big bed again, Bai Chunhe didn't have too many thoughts.

Although the mother and daughter were in the same bed, they had no desire to speak, just quietly listening to each other's breathing.

After lying down for a while, the two still had no intention of sleeping. Martha's breathing tightened a little, and Bai Chunhe listened to her tossing and turning positions, but he didn't fall asleep for a long time.

"You...... Slept? ”

Eventually, Martha couldn't help but speak.

"Nope." Bai Chunhe replied calmly.

Then, Bai Chunhe felt that he was moved, and one by one, people who were very familiar with him in blood turned to Bai Chunhe's side, and then Bai Chunhe's arm was grabbed by a pair of slender hands, Masha put Bai Chunhe's hand up on the pillow, and then leaned up, and the head case with smooth and thick burgundy long curly hair lay on Bai Chunhe's arm.

She still maintained the posture of facing away from Bai Chunhe, and she explained a little unnaturally: "The pillow is too soft, borrow your arm to cushion it." ”

"Well, let's sleep."

Bai Chunhe knew that his mother was worried about losing himself, so he said gently.

Martha shuddered a little, but quickly regained her composure, and took advantage of the situation to hug Bai Chunhe's arms with both hands. Bai Chunhe felt his mother's thin breathing in Bai Chunhe's palm, like a docile and well-behaved kitten.

The two of them lay down for a while.

Finally, Bai Chunhe broke the silence. "Mom, what do you think of Uncle Chen?"

"He's fine." Martha said softly.

"You're also very lonely by yourself, so it's better for you to be with him. He is a good person, he always helped our family before, and he didn't dislike me and Bai Jingming. Bai Chunhe said.

Bai Chun joked as if jokingly, and the heat from his words blew into Martha's cochlea in bursts.

"See if I don't tear your mouth." Ma Sha also blushed when she heard this, and reached over to pinch Bai Chunhe across Fang Ji, "You can also say that." ”

Bai Chunhe giggled, his cheeks crimson and delicate like peonies blooming on the branches.

She knew that her mother was also a little interesting to Uncle Chen.

"I'm also kind enough to match you." Bai Chunhe said to Martha, "It's going to rain, my mother is going to get married, what's the shame." ”

"You!" Ma Sha got up from the bed with a bone, pointed at Bai Chunhe with a red face and said, "I'll go to Bai Jingming to evaluate and see what your sister looks like." ”

Bai Chunhe pretended to be displeased, pressed the mattress and said, "Don't talk about anything else, Mom, I know your duplicity." Are you worried that Bai Jingming won't be able to accept this, don't worry, I will help you convince Bai Jingming. ”

Ma Sha was poked by Bai Chunhe, and she sat down beside Bai Chunhe without speaking.

Bai Chunhe acquiesced to his mother, and smiled and played a round game: "Okay, you sleep again, I'll get up first." ”

With that, Bai Chunhe got up to find Bai Jingming.

Behind the temple is a marsh overgrown with reeds. During this season, the tall reeds have dried up, and the long reed leaves rustle in the wind like yellow streamers.

The breeze had long since ceased, and the withered grass stood upright, like copper wires. A trembling voice, in

The air trembled and became thinner, so fine that there was no more, and the surroundings were as quiet as death.

Bai Jingming was still lying in the same place yesterday, his hand was supposed to be something, but now it was an empty place, he didn't move, and his face was melancholy.

Disconsolate.

Melancholy is today's Geling Temple.
