In ancient times, the streets in Chen Yang's impression have always been bluestone-paved streets, with small vendors on both sides of the streets, whether they are rouge shops or jewelry shops. Passers-by are dressed in monochrome clothes, and their hair is tied up in a hairstyle that belongs to this era.
"Why don't you tie up your long hair?"
Nie Xiaoqian and Chen Yang held hands, each with a happy smile on their faces, Nie Xiaoqian raised her chin slightly, and there was a puzzled expression on her delicate and lovely face.
Chen Yang lifted the strands of hair that blocked a trace of sight, and said: "A handsome person, even if his hair is messed up into a chicken nest, he is handsome after all." ”
Nie Xiaoqian covered her lips and laughed, "It's shameless." ”
"Xiaoqian, where is your home? Let's go home and have a look. Chen Yang suddenly asked.
Nie Xiaoqian was stunned, and then she was a little scared and a little expectant.
She hesitated for a moment and said, "I've been away for more than thirty years, and I don't know about them...... Still not there. ”
Chen Yang squeezed her hand and said, "Do you remember what I said?" Don't let yourself be left with regrets. ”
"Hmm." Nie Xiaoqian nodded vigorously.
Nie Xiaoqian's home is in a small village under Jinhua Mansion, near Lanruo Temple.
The two walked all the way, laughing and laughing all the way, Chen Yang didn't buy a carriage, he rested for a while when he was tired, and when he was tired, Nie Xiaoqian lay on Chen Yang's back and let him carry it.
In the village in Nie Xiaoqian's memory, there were more than 30 families, but when they entered the village, they only saw seven or eight scattered families.
It's been more than thirty years, and many have moved away.
Walking through an old house, a gray-haired lady stared at Nie Xiaoqian for a long time.
Nie Xiaoqian also saw her, her eyes flashed with excitement, she wanted to step forward, but she was afraid that she would scare the eldest lady.
Chen Yang whispered in his ear: "It's been more than thirty years, and no one still remembers you." ”
Holding Nie Xiaoqian and approaching the eldest mother, Chen Yang smiled, bent down and asked, "Auntie, may I ask, how to get to Uncle Nie's house?" ”
The eldest lady's ears may not be good, but when she heard the voice, she took her eyes off Nie Xiaoqian's face and landed on Chen Yang's face.
"Old man Nie, you're not there." The eldest lady shook her head, raised her finger and pointed to a dilapidated house not far in front of her, and said, "That's it." ”
"Thank you, auntie." Chen Yang stood up, his mood was also a little heavy, but he still smiled and said, "Let's go and have a look." ”
"Hmm." Nie Xiaoqian's voice trembled a little, and the closer she got to the old house, the more uneasy she felt in her heart.
The eldest lady looked at Nie Xiaoqian's back as she gradually moved away, and muttered to herself: "It's like, it's really like." ”
"That lady just now, do you know?"
"Well, it's Mother Liu, who has two daughters, both of whom are married, she once had a serious illness, no one took care of her, and she almost died, or my father asked me to take care of her. When she got better, Liu's mother thanked her father for bringing us delicious food every time she came back from Jinhua Mansion. ”
Chen Yang nodded, and the two had already walked to the door of the house.
The wooden door was hidden, and Chen Yang could see the cobwebs forming from the corners of the door and the cracks of the door.
It should have been a long time since no one lived, so naturally no one would come to clean it.
Chen Yang gently pushed the door open, and suddenly a layer of dust fell, raised his sleeve and fanned it, and when the dust cleared, Chen Yang led her in.
This is a very ordinary rural house, entering the door is a big yard, the right side of the yard is a low house, this is the kitchen, there is a large tank at the door of the house, which should be used to hold water, at this moment this jar has already been covered with dust.
Directly facing the door is the sleeping room, with the living room in the centre flanked by two bedrooms.
It's a very ordinary pattern, but it's full of memories.
Chen Yang accompanied Nie Xiaoqian, walked through every room, she walked very slowly, every time she arrived at a room, she would stay for a while, her eyes were a little dazed, she reached out and touched the wall, the wooden bed, it seemed that everything had her memories.
Nie Xiaoqian always had a smile on her face, and she cried with a smile.
Chen Yang didn't say any words of comfort, at this moment, any words of comfort seemed pale and weak, only tears could bring her a trace of comfort.
The most painful thing in the world is that the white-haired person sends the black-haired person, the son wants to be filial and the kiss is not there, and there is no time to even see the last face.
If a person experiences one of the above situations, he will be in pain, it is hard to imagine what kind of pain Nie Xiaoqian, who has these three experiences, is suffering in her heart at this moment.
Nie Xiaoqian cried alone, laughed alone, and her thin body looked so helpless under the white dress.
Chen Yang stretched out his arm, gently grabbed her shoulders, and held her in his arms.
Nie Xiaoqian seemed to have found an outlet, her arms hugged tightly, like a newborn baby, curled up in Chen Yang's arms, her voice became more and more sad because of excessive sadness, and it hit people's souls.
Man is born to suffer. If you don't know bitterness, how can you know what sweetness is?
But there is a kind of person who is born without knowing sweetness, and they spend their whole lives in pain.
"Old man Nie and his wife left last winter, they didn't go out for several days, I was worried, when I pushed the door in, Old man Nie was lying on the ground, covered with a thick layer of snow." Mother Liu didn't know when she appeared at the door, but Chen Yang didn't even feel it, maybe it was the old woman who walked slowly and lightly.
"Old man Nie fell unconscious and was frozen to death by the heavy snow. The eldest sister was overly sad, and within two days, she also followed. Every time she thought of this, Liu's mother couldn't help but sigh and cry, and sighed straightly: "Good people always don't live long!" ”
Nie Xiaoqian heard the cause of her parents' death, and cried even more sadly, Chen Yang grabbed her hands and gently pulled them away, letting her hug herself, not so lonely.
Chen Yang asked, "Auntie, do you know where Uncle Nie's tomb is?" ”
Mother Liu shook her head and sighed, "You come with me." ”
Chen Yang lowered his head and said softly, "Xiaoqian, let's go and say goodbye to our uncle and aunt." ”
Nie Xiaoqian sobbed and hummed low when she heard the words.
Liu's mother is old and walks very slowly, and when she walks a few steps, she has to rest for a while.
Chen Yang wanted to give her some wild ginseng, Ganoderma lucidum or something to eat, but he was worried that the old man's body was weak and weak.
There is a small hill on the edge of the village, two or three hundred meters high, and the mountain is bare, with only a few trees scattered on it.
Chen Yang and Nie Xiaoqian supported Liu's mother left and right, and saw a small mound on the mountainside.
Mother Liu pointed to the mound and said, "That's it, the old woman doesn't have much money, and the village is poor, so she buried it with the help of a few old people, and it can be regarded as a stable place." ”
Mother Liu wiped the corners of her eyes, only a little wet, the old man was old, and his tears were about to dry.
Nie Xiaoqian looked at the slightly bulging mound in front of her, and walked over, her tears were like pearls with broken threads, surging more and more.
