Chapter 48: Ancestor Worship (8)
At the end of December, it has snowed lightly in Changhai City, Jin Ling is wrapped in a thick cotton coat and leans on the seat of the car with a dazed expression, she has changed no less than four times in a row, Dongfang Yu took her to a more remote place this time, their car drove to the village, the children playing outside stared at the car without blinking, as if they had never seen this thing, the entrance of the village is a small commissary, Changhai City Jin Ling came, she was here to cross, But I have never seen such a developed city and such a backward village.
"Does anyone live here?" Jin Ling regained her spirits, she leaned on the window edge and looked outside, although this village is poor, but it is peaceful, it doesn't look like there are resentments and dirty things, what is Dongfang Yu doing here? Experience life?
"You'll know when you see it, be good!" Dongfang Yu is afraid that she will suddenly become stupid, what if her mother sees it and doesn't like her?
Dongfang Che parked the car, Jin Ling got out of the car, the oncoming cold wind blew her spirit, her dizzy head instantly sobered up a lot, she took a breath into her hand, shivering with cold, Dongfang Yu covered her hand and put it in his pocket, "It's snowing." ”
Jin Ling raised his head, the sky had drifted from small snow to medium snow, Dongfang Yu held an umbrella with one hand, and held it above the heads of the two, Dongfang Che pointed to the path in front of him, and said, "Let's go, it's just ahead." ”
Dongfang Yu put his hand into his pocket and held the hand of Jin Ling, Jin Ling did not take it back, there was no way that her pocket was not warm enough, it could warm one by one.
Dongfang Che led the way in front with an umbrella, Dongfang Yu and Jin Ling walked behind, because someone suddenly came, the curious children and some adults in the village ran out of the house to see, and there were bold children around the car, I don't know which one touched, the car alarm sounded, and the frightened group of children around the scream ran away, the eyes of the group of adults have been on the three of them, the three of them know that they are very rich at a glance, plus they are good-looking, it must be the young master and young lady of the family, I don't know what these rich people are doing in his village? I didn't hear that there were such rich relatives in that family.
Jin Ling followed Dongfang Che all the way, the path was spacious and spacious, able to accommodate their cars to come in, there were rice fields on both sides, it was winter, in addition to the piled up straw and bare haystacks in the field, it was a thin layer of snow, and the three of them didn't say anything all the way, until they stopped in front of a house, it was an ordinary small bungalow on the first floor, there were a few trees in the front yard of the house, it seemed that it should be fruit trees, Dongfang Che pointed to the house, and said in a choked tone: "This is it." ”
Jin Ling felt Dongfang Yu's hand covering her and shaking, she stared at the house puzzled, looking at Dongfang Yu's expressionless face, the people inside were not their mothers? Dongfang Yu nodded, Dongfang Che entered the courtyard, and then knocked on the door, every time he knocked, Dongfang Yu's hand grabbed Jin Ling tightly, until it hurt her, Jin Ling shut up and didn't speak, she would have made trouble a long time ago, but now it's not usual, the person inside may be Dongfang Yu's biological mother who hasn't seen her for more than ten years.
"Who?" A middle-aged woman's voice came from inside, and the voice was hoarse, thinking that there was something wrong with her voice.
The door was opened, and a woman in a white turtleneck sweater and cotton pants came out, although the woman was dressed plainly, she was very good-looking, and her eyebrows and eyes looked like Oriental royals.
The woman looked at Dongfang Che at the door, and her surprise flashed, and then she asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”
Dongfang Che held back his tears, took a deep breath and said, "Excuse me, are you Ms. Jun Qingci?" ”
"yes, you're looking for me?"
The woman nodded, and just after she nodded, Dongfang Yu was already stiff, his eyes were staring at the woman, and he almost rushed over to take a good look at the person from beginning to end.
"Then do you remember Jun Ruxian and Jun Ruche?" Dongfang Che finally couldn't help choking and said, the woman opposite almost couldn't stand steadily, she leaned against the door, looked at Dongfang Che and Dongfang Yu outside the courtyard with red eyes, and then slammed the door as if she had woken up, Dongfang Che was locked out of the door too late, he patted the door and shouted: "Mother, mother, you open the door, I'm back with my brother!" ”
Dongfang Yu strode over with the golden bell, he glanced at Dongfang Che, and also patted the door, "Mom, you open the door, if there is anything you can do, you can open the door." ”
"Let's go, I'm not your mother." There was a woman's crying voice inside, it was obvious that it was their mother, Jin Ling had never seen Dongfang Yu so helpless.
"Mom, are you blaming me and Ah Che for not coming to pick you up? It's the son's fault, the son is here to admit your mistake! After Dongfang Yu finished speaking, he knelt down straight.
"Oriental?" Jin Ling shouted, and Dongfang Che also knelt down.
"Mom, when you open the door, my brother and I will get up whenever we want." Oriental Che Dao.
Jin Ling stood next to Dongfang Yu, and finally gritted his teeth and knelt down, the latter didn't seem to think that Jin Ling would also kneel, and immediately shouted: "Nonsense, you hurry up!" He hadn't forgotten that Jin Ling's knee had been injured on Dafan Mountain, and it would be very uncomfortable to kneel on such a cold day.
Jin Ling said stubbornly: "I don't, they all say that husband and wife are one, you are wrong to be a son, and my daughter-in-law is also wrong." ”
Seeing the situation, Dongfang Che hurriedly said: "Mom, my sister-in-law has a knee injury, just open the door." ”
The movement here had already alarmed the people around, and they all gathered around the waist-high mud wall to watch the excitement, and a few of them who were on good terms with the people in this room stood at the gate to speak for the three kneeling people.
"Sister-in-law, the children know that they are wrong, so let them get up."
"Yes, you have been studying this child for more than ten years, and it is easy for the child to get it back by himself, you can open the door."
"But no, this is still bringing a daughter-in-law here, don't look at the monk's face to see the Buddha's face, what is there to let the children into the house to say."
Everyone, you and I persuaded you word by word, Dongfang Yu knelt straight, Jin Ling supported her hands on her thighs and pinched the hem of her clothes, she was very cold now, and the voices of the people in her ears were buzzing very noisy.
A few neighbors couldn't see it, so they could only let it go, and the people who watched the excitement began to talk about it, this sister-in-law has been in their village for more than ten years, and she thinks about her two lost twin sons every day, and now this son seems to be out of business, and one of them is still looking for such a beautiful daughter-in-law, since she is closed. The three of them knelt at the door for almost three hours, seeing that it was going to be dark, and the people who watched the excitement were almost gone, and the excitement was to see the excitement, and the meal still had to be eaten, and when it was dark, the middle snow turned into heavy snow, and the village was very quiet, except for the sound of the wind was the sound of snowflakes falling.
Jun Qingci inside couldn't cry anymore, she didn't want to see her son, but now it's not that she can see it if she wants to, not only can't see it, but also can't recognize it.
Jin Ling's hand pinching the hem of her clothes became tighter and tighter, her eyes were black for a while, her ears seemed to be blocked, she couldn't hear anything for a moment, she opened her mouth and shouted softly: "Dongfang." Then he was so crooked that he was unconscious on Dongfang Yu.
Dongfang Yu hugged Jin Ling in a panic, "Jin Ling!" Golden Bell! Bell!? ”
"What's going on?" Dongfang Che hurriedly moved over, he touched Jin Ling's forehead, then rolled his eyelids, and said, "I have a fever, it should be a cold blow blowing in the afternoon." ”
Jin Ling's face was pale, his brows were furrowed, and even his breathing was weak, Dongfang Yu panicked, "What should I do?" Ling'er, are you awake? ”
Jin Ling's mouth moved a few times, Dongfang Yu hurried up, and after hearing what she said clearly, he hugged her tightly and asked, "What does it hurt?" You hurt me, tell me. ”
"Squeak-" Jun Qingci heard Dongfang Yu's panicked shout in the room, and hurriedly ran to open the door, and saw her eldest son holding the girl who came with him, his eyes were red.
"Come in!" At this time, I can't care so much, Dongfang Yu picked up the golden bell, he had been kneeling for too long, and when he got up, he shook it, Jun Qingci stretched out his hand to hold it, Dongfang Che followed, several people entered the house, Dongfang Yu took off the golden bell's coat and shoes, and stuffed people into the quilt.
Dongfang Che took the water from Jun Qingci and said, "Brother, first use cold water to cool down by my sister-in-law, and I'll go to the car to get the medicine box." ”
"Hurry up!" Dongfang Yu twisted the veil and put the golden bell on his forehead.
After Dongfang Che left, Jun Qingci sat at the foot of the bed, looking at the unconscious Jin Ling and blaming himself deeply, Dongfang Yu held Jin Ling's other hand after finishing it, and said, "Mom, you don't have to blame yourself." ”
"If it weren't for me, she wouldn't have gotten sick." Jun Qing said.
Dongfang Yu shook his head, "Ling'er's body is already poor, and the eight characters are very light. ”
"Her name is Ling'er? Is she ......" Jun Qingci wanted to ask if she was the wife arranged for him by the Dongfang family, but in the end he still didn't ask.
"No, her name is Jin Ling, and I am in love with her." Dongfang Yu didn't want Jun Qingci to worry, he was not stingy with a one-night stand, and he had to marry her, not to mention this kind of thing, which was a bit embarrassing.
"She knows?" Jun Qingci asked in a hoarse voice.
Dongfang Yu nodded, "She knows everything." She knew more than he told her.
Dongfang Che hurriedly ran back with the medicine box, and immediately gave Jin Ling an injection to reduce the fever, and in the second half of the night, it was a continuous low-grade fever, but it was much better than the first half of the night, Jun Qingci made something light, she wanted to feed Jin Ling some good medicine, Dongfang Che stopped, shook his head, "Mom, my brother doesn't allow anyone other than him to touch his sister-in-law, you eat, I'll clean it up after eating." ”
Jun Qingci glanced at the room, and then said, "Ruxian loves her very much?" ”
"I love it very much, I've never seen my brother so nervous alone." Oriental Che Dao.
Jun Qingci didn't bother anymore, she had been separated from her son for so many years, and she couldn't insert many things, she could only watch in place and couldn't say anything.
The next morning, Jin Ling was woken up by the burning pain in her throat, she wanted to get up weakly, and found that there was a person lying on the side of the bed, Dongfang Yu was awakened by her movements, looked up at Jin Ling, who had woken up, first touched her forehead, and then breathed a sigh, "It's good that it doesn't burn, where else are you uncomfortable?" ”
"Water."
