My mother said that my aunt had saved many people, but she couldn't save herself, and at that time I thought that my mother was talking about my aunt's illness, but I didn't expect to be talking about my aunt's heart.

I hugged my aunt, who was getting thinner and thinner, and said, "Auntie, don't be afraid, when Xi'er grows up, I will go to find Jiuzhi Immortal Grass for my aunt." ”

Jiuzhi fairy grass, legend has it that it can live the flesh and bones of the dead. My aunt was terminally ill, and even though I hadn't been involved in medicine, I could feel the speed at which my aunt's life was passing.

My aunt's cold fingertips scraped my nose and smiled gently: "Xi'er has a heart." She was silent for a moment, and then said, "My aunt is never afraid of death, birth, old age, sickness and death are human nature. ”

I wondered, "What did that aunt fear?" ”

My aunt touched my hair and said softly: "Resentment will be, love parting, I can't ask for it." ”

I didn't understand, but my aunt didn't explain more, but said: "If Xi'er wants to be happy, don't put happiness in the hands of others." ”

As a result, I was even more confused.

Years later, when I fell in love with the cold, I realized the true meaning of my aunt's words.

My aunt didn't have much time to wake up, so I left the house after she rested. There is a plum tree in the small courtyard, which is said to have been planted by my aunt and my uncle when she got married.

I climbed up the tree in twos and threes, found a strong branch to lie down and look at the sky, the blue sky and white clouds, coupled with the cold fragrance of plum blossoms, make people feel refreshed and happy, and can forget the troubles that disturb people.

When Lin Sangongzi and his mother-in-law Xue Shi came to the courtyard with a group of people, I was already asleep on the tree, and I was awakened from a dream and almost fell off the tree.

Xue didn't enter the house, only shouted in the yard, I knew that this fox must want to let my aunt, who was already weak, come out to blow the cold wind.

I was angry and wanted to jump off the tree to give this vicious woman a good look, but I saw that it was my cousin Changfeng and cousin Changyue who were pressed to the ground by the Xue family.

Changfeng's head was covered with blood, and no one helped him bandage it, so he happened to look up and see me with an angry face.

He shook his head at me, not wanting me to get involved in this Lin family dispute.

I grabbed the branch of the hand unconsciously, I have always known that my aunt, the Lin family's housewife, has done in name only, in recent years, my aunt's health has become worse and worse, I think she can save her energy to cultivate her body regardless of the affairs of the Lin Mansion, but I never expected that my aunt's situation in the Lin family is so difficult, and the prostitutes in the Qinglou married by my uncle can be so arrogant in front of my aunt.

The aunt's maid helped the aunt out of the house, and the aunt's face was haggard, dignified but helpless and tired.

The aunt opened her mouth to ask, and the Xue family claimed that Changfeng and Changyue stole the jade Ruyi that Mrs. Lin gave to Lin Sangongzi, and after being discovered, not only did they have no remorse but also beat people, and they actually smashed the jade Ruyi and destroyed it.

I knew that Changfeng and Changyue would not do anything like stealing chickens and dogs, but they both kowtowed and accepted punishment without waiting for their aunt to speak. Their sister and brother didn't want their aunt to disturb them, and they were willing to take responsibility, hoping that this farce would pass as soon as possible.

The aunt looked at the two of them in a complicated mood, and sighed silently: "Let's serve the family rules." The aunt turned around and went back to the house, probably not wanting to see her child suffering with her own eyes, and regretting her own incompetence.

The people of the Xue clan brought the boards, and Changfeng and Changyue knelt on the cold ground and waited for the punishment of the twenty boards.

When the board went down, the person who punished him used ten times ten strength! And Changfeng and Changyue are only thirteen or fourteen-year-old children, how can he get his hands down, after twenty boards, then there is still life?!

Changfeng and Changyue gritted their teeth and kept silent, because they were afraid that their aunt would feel uncomfortable in the house when they heard it.

The dull sound of the board hitting the flesh made me throb in my heart.

My mind was all on the long wind and long moon, but unexpectedly, I suddenly had a pain in my ankle, slid down the plum tree, and the cold wind whistled past my ears, and I thought to myself that I was about to fall half-crippled, and if it was really my brothers and sisters who were in trouble.
