Chapter 159: The Story Inside and Out
"But when I got home, only my grandfather could carry me, but he was not in good health, so he couldn't do that action often, so he could only do it occasionally."
"So at that time, if I could be carried by my grandfather, it was the happiest thing for me, and then when I was seven years old, my grandfather died of illness, and I was the only one left in the family with my mother and grandmother."
Gu Jinfeng spoke very slowly, as if he had to ponder in his heart for a long time every time he said a word, but it was precisely because of this that it seemed that every word he said was full of emotion.
On such a night, the night was hazy, so Qi Ling unconsciously pulled his mind away from his thoughts about modern life.
A heart and a full heart fell into the story Gu Jinfeng said, as if he had walked through that section of the road with him.
even told her that just after listening to these few words, she began to feel sorry for Gu Jinfeng in her heart.
Thinking about myself at that time, I was still the little bully in the family, and I had to be served by three or four people to eat one.
But Gu Jinfeng, at a young age, followed his mother back to this village from Shilang's Mansion, and the four words "biological father unknown" were enough to make him alienated by everyone.
A wish that all little boys can easily be fulfilled - to be carried on his shoulders has become a very luxurious thing for him.
How can people not feel distressed and sigh when this makes people feel sorry?
Gu Jinfeng didn't notice the change in Qi Ling's complexion, still holding the reins with his right hand and hurrying away, while gently patting Qi Ling's shoulder with his left hand, comforting her.
His face did not carry any emotion that could be seen, and he looked very calm and calm, as if he was telling a stranger's story, and slowly opened his mouth again.
"As you may have heard, then my grandmother died, and I was supposed to be ten years old that year, before I arrived."
"Originally, she promised me that she would make me a bowl of longevity noodles to eat on my birthday, but who knows, before waiting for that day, she died silently in the night."
"At that time, my mother said that my grandmother missed my grandfather too much, just like a mandarin duck can't survive alone, it must be in pairs, and she said that the two of them did not die, but turned into stars in the sky."
As he spoke, Gu Jinfeng glanced at the sky again, his eyes were gentle, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth softened, making Qi Ling look a little distracted from the sidelines.
Immediately, Gu Jinfeng regained his expression and continued,
"At that time, I really believed that every night before going to bed, I would look at the sky, point out the two stars to my mother, and tell them what I had done that day, thinking that my grandfather and grandmother would know about me."
"At that time, because my grandfather and grandmother died, the family had no source of livelihood, and my mother and I relied on her to embroider people."
"It's the embroidery workshop in this city, because she is not the embroidery lady there, so others deliberately lower her price, one tael is said to be half a tael, and a hundred copper plates are said to be fifty copper plates."
"But because I was desperate, my mother had no choice but to accept such a price, and even thought about when she had saved enough money, and sent me to a private school to continue studying."
"Because embroidering large screens is the most profitable, so she takes on all the work like this, she has to stay up late every day, but I was disobedient at that time, and I always pestered her."
"So she lit the candles, carried the embroidery stand to my bed, and told me stories while she was busy embroidering flowers with her own work, neither of which was delayed."
Speaking of this, Gu Jinfeng suddenly turned his head to look at Qi Ling and asked with a smile.
"You see, I promised to tell you a story, but how can I talk about my own affairs while talking? But don't worry, I'm going to start writing that story soon! ”
Because the sky was dark, although there was moonlight, but because Gu Jinfeng turned his head to face him, he just turned his back to the moonlight, so that people couldn't see the expression on his face.
But Qi Ling seemed to suddenly see a little bright light in Gu Jinfeng's eyes.
It must have been a water stain......
Or tears......
Qi Ling's heart moved, knowing that Gu Jinfeng's current appearance must be unwilling to be seen by himself, so he pretended not to know anything.
Trying to squeeze out a smile, she said to him.
"It's okay, as long as you say it, I'm actually willing to listen to it, I don't mind knowing more about you."
This was what she said in her heart, and Qi Ling had also fantasized many times in her heart about what Gu Jinfeng's childhood would be like.
Although she knew that her life must not be too satisfying, after all, she thought about a child who was not even a teenager, and lost her closest family members one after another.
Even at a young age, in order to earn a living, he went up to the mountains to learn to hunt with people, and he fell into a scar for so many years, but he gritted his teeth and continued to persevere.
But he didn't expect the day when he really said it, the day when the truth was really unraveled by himself, and all the imagination in the past was even a little understated.
It turned out that all his imagination had not yet sketched his misery, so this fact made Qi Ling feel even more sorry for him.
It's as if she herself has experienced such an experience and endured so much suffering.
After Gu Jinfeng listened to Qi Ling's words, he hooked his lips and smiled, if Qi Ling could see his current appearance, he would definitely be moved by the tenderness in his eyes.
For Gu Jinfeng, the words "I don't mind getting to know you a little more" seem to be the answer he has been waiting for for so many years.
He has been lonely for so many years, moving forward independently, as if he is waiting for such a person, little by little into his heart, and even listening to him tell his past.
After listening, say, "I don't mind getting to know you a little more." ”
I am so lucky to be waiting for such a person!
Gu Jinfeng was very fortunate that he could have such good luck.
To have such a Qi Ling with him now may be a gift from God after he has endured so many years of hardship.
"Go ahead and tell you the story that my mother told me, it's still impressive to me, and I'll tell it seriously, and you listen to it too, okay?"
Qi Ling nodded and answered softly.
"Okay, you can do it, I'm listening."
"At that time, my mother told me that every human being is a star in the sky, and when it falls into the world, it becomes a little doll."
