Chapter 35: Raised in Lingshan
Thinking of her sister's tears and the red marks on her face, Zhu Hongyan's nose was sour, and tears rolled down. She didn't have a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law problem, and she was originally glad that she didn't expect that there would be such a quarrel between her sister and son right now. Not only did the sisters' feelings crack, but I was afraid that they would be embarrassed to go back to their parents' homes in the future.
After going back to She's house for a long time, until dusk, the housekeeper Uncle Fu came over and asked her: "Madam, I heard from the kitchen buyer that the door of the Zhu family was hung with a spirit flag, and it seemed that he was doing something in vain, and I don't know what was going on." I've already sent someone to inquire, ma'am, are you waiting for someone to come back, or do you want to go and see it first? ”
"Spiriting Banner?"
Zhu Hongyan's head is buzzing, there are only her mother and Zhu Qingyan in her mother's family, which one died? Today, no one in Xianglian and Zhu Qingyan mentioned anything, why did they suddenly die?
"Let's go check it out."
She was in a hurry to get up, but her feet went limp and fainted.
Cai Yue and Uncle Fu were in a hurry.
When Zhu Hongyan woke up slowly, the subordinate sent to listen to the beating also came back, squeaking, and his eyes dodged: "Master, yes, yes......"
"What is it?"
"The people of the Zhu family said that the little boy pushed Mrs. Zhu to death."
"What? How is this possible! ”
Like a thunderbolt splitting, Zhu Hongyan stood up in shock, and he didn't know whether to fan this nonsense subordinate with both hands, or grab Caiyue at his side for comfort.
"Yes. It is also said that the old lady is already gone, and the little boy didn't know it, so he pushed it. But Miss Zhu Er said that it was the little boy who pushed the old lady, and the old lady didn't have it. ”
"She's talking nonsense! She hated me for beating him today, so she was wronged! ”
"Yes, yes."
The subordinate didn't dare to say anything, peeked at the housekeeper on the side, and quietly withdrew.
Cai Yue reminded Zhu Hongyan: "Xianglian accompanied the little boy to Zhu's house today, she must be clear." ”
"Yes, yes, call Xianglian."
Xianglian didn't find Zhu Hongyan and Caiyue at noon, so she went back to She Feiren's side, and never told the housekeeper the news. She Fei couldn't bear to lose her temper again, she coaxed for a long time, until someone came to call her, and then she remembered that she had forgotten such an important matter.
She knelt down in front of Zhu Hongyan in a panic: "Mastermother, it's Old Madam Zhu who is gone first." The little lady screamed several times, but the old lady didn't respond, so the little boy stretched out his hand and pushed it, and the old lady fell down. ”
"What's the matter with the little boy's face? How did Miss Zhu Er fight? ”
Xianglian recalled: "At that time, Su Mei and I were checking on the old lady's situation, and the little boy was standing there well, and Miss Zhu Er came in and pushed the little boy against the wall. At that time, his face was swollen. ”
In Zhu Hongyan's mind, there was a picture of Zhu Qingyan pushing the five-year-old She Feiren away like a sandbag, and She Feiyan's small body flew against the wall without resistance, and his head slammed against the wall.
Her tears welled up in her eyes. Zhu Hongyan covered her chest with a faint ache and closed her eyes, and only after a long time did she raise her head: "That's it." Xianglian, you go and take care of the little boy. Caiyue, follow me to Zhu's house. Butler, you tell the master. ”
"Yes."
Several people responded and dispersed.
-------
When night fell, the Zhu family's mourning hall was deserted, and only Zhu Qingyan and Su Mei were guarding in front of the spirit. For the sister who came over, Zhu Qingyan didn't even look at it.
Zhu Hongyan remembered what her sister did to her son, and her guilt of beating her sister was suppressed by a resentment.
The light of the white candle flickered, and the sisters' hearts gradually cooled in the long silence, cold into ice that could not be melted. It wasn't until the coffin came back on the third day, and the two placed their mother's tablet, Zhu Qingyan suddenly turned her head and smiled at her sister, and said softly: "Sister, I was ignorant about what happened before, and I hope my sister will understand." ”
Her face was pale because of her haggardness, and her melon seed face was even thinner with a sharp chin, showing a bit of pity and grievance.
After all, she is her own sister, and in the future, she will only have her own relatives in the world. The ice in Zhu Hongyan's heart melted all at once, turning into sour tears, she reached out to hug her sister, and the tears fell on Zhu Qingyan's shoulders, wetting her clothes.
Zhu Qingyan was hugged by her, smiling while crying, but the deepest part of her eyes was a thousand years of ice, cold and sharp.
------
The days passed quietly for a while.
No one mentioned the disappeared fruit horse, She Feiren only thought that it had been sent away by She Jingchun, but he didn't know that Zhu Qingyan tied it to the back of the Buddha Hall that day, because there was a piece of land with fat grass growing there, which was convenient to feed. She Feiren walked around the house for a long time, but he didn't have time to turn to the back of the Buddhist hall.
Zhu Hongyan slightly strengthened the control of She Feiren, She Feiren was also a little surprised by that incident, suffered a little, stopped jumping up and down for a while, trapped in the house with nothing to do, often lying on the window and spitting bubbles at the birds on the branches, very boring.
So one day, a well-mannered young man in his twenties stood in front of him.
She Fei couldn't help but look up at him in the sun, this young man's eyes were big round, his eyebrows were a little sparse, but he could manage his facial features, but there was some unwillful depression hidden between his eyebrows and eyes, and his spirit seemed to be a little down.
"Who are you?"
"My name is Ke Zuming, and I will be your Mr. Reading from now on."
"Mr. Reading? Why didn't I hear from my mother? ”
"Really?"
Ke Zuming didn't care, coughed lowly, and followed the servant who led the way past She Feiren's window.
She Fei couldn't bear to look at his distant back, and then looked at the scenery in front of him that remained unchanged day after day, and said to himself: "Reading? It's good. ”
-----------
The hall used for classes is located on the edge of the back garden, and when you look out of the window, you can see the flowers and trees in the back garden. In the garden, there were not only bamboo and plum trees, but also other seasonal flowers and plants, which were swollen with various colored petals in the wind, as thick as the rouge on Zhu Qingyan's face that he had seen, and the thick mane of the fruit.
She Fei couldn't help but hold his head and look out the window, his eyes fluttering.
"At the beginning of people, their nature is good, their sex is similar, and their habits are far away. If you don't teach, sex is migration. The way of teaching, the ...... of your specialty"
Ke Zuming seemed to be depressed but with a hint of lazy voice flickering far and near in his ears, but he couldn't hook his soul. His soul slowly drifted to the Zhu family, to the back garden of the Zhu family, which looked a little ruined due to neglect, and his fruit was tethered under the tree, chewing a few wisps of dry grass in his mouth.
Four hundred and twenty-one ponies could not even eat a single fresh grass.
Dead mother-in-law!
He slapped the table in disgust.
The sound of reading in my ears stopped, and it was quiet, only the wind blew gently by my side, as if I was afraid of disturbing the two of them, and it was extremely gentle.
He looked up and saw that Ke Zuming was standing beside him, looking down at him, there was neither anger nor surprise in his eyes, as if he was used to seeing the stubborn appearance of a naughty child, and he had already seen it.
The two looked at each other silently for a moment.
Ke Zuming neither blamed him, nor coaxed him, nor continued to study, but just looked at him quietly, as if he wanted to see that the earth was desolate and eternal.
On the other side of the earth is desolation, and on the other side of the heaven is nothingness.
She Feiren lowered his head and looked at the pages spread out on the table, and the words that were put together by small wooden stick-like strokes finally came into his eyes. He read it silently, as if to ease the atmosphere between the two, he held up the book: "Sir, I'll read it to you." ”
"Oh? Good. ”
"At the beginning of man, nature is good. Sex is similar, Xi is far away. If you don't teach, sex is migration. The way of teaching is to be specialized. The gentleman in the back hasn't taught yet, and I don't know yet. ”
Ke Zuming's eyes finally had some waves: "Xi Mengmu, choose a neighbor." If you don't learn, you will be cut off. ”
"Xi Mengmu, choose a neighbor. If you don't learn, you will be cut off. ”
After a short time, the flowers just thanked, the fruit was not finished, and the words and meanings on the "Three Character Classic" were all recognized by She Feiren.
Ke Zuming repeatedly picked out the words and lines and asked them at random, and he also made clear words and never admitted his mistakes. In addition to the lack of wrist strength, the words written are a little crooked, but the strokes are also accurate, and there are almost no mistakes.
Unforgettable, gifted.
-------------------
Lingshan.
The days were as quiet as flowing water, and the months had passed.
Hu Yiyi can already turn over, raise his neck by himself, and climb out of the basket by himself.
Although the Lingqing Temple is built on the mountainside, the four seasons in the view are like spring, especially when the sun is shining, the view is so warm that only a thin coat can be worn. If you look closely, you can see that there is a thin and transparent barrier on the view, and it is this barrier that keeps the warmth inside, and there are several small openings on the top of the barrier to release excess heat.
When some birds fly by, they unintentionally fall into the cave and enter the Taoist temple. At this time, on the wall of Lingqingguan, a few birds of different colors were parked.
Hu Yi lay on the floor at the entrance of the dormitory, looking up at them, saliva dripping down.
I want to eat.
I want to eat birds.
Their crunchy skeletons, sweet flesh and blood, mixed with the salty aroma of broken feathers, are like memories of yesterday, as if you can go back in time and taste their deliciousness again when you turn your head.
In the past few months, only Xuan Liuyao scraped the boiled egg yolk with a bamboo spoon, and the pork was also finely chopped and mashed into a meat pulp, and the meat taste was almost invisible.
Aren't you able to climb and catch now, and you can catch a bird and try it yourself.
There are only three stone steps outside the door.
Hu Buyi didn't take the stone steps, but slowly arched and slid down the side slope like a worm, and then climbed all the way to the bottom of the wall. She tried to put her hand on the wall, but the wall was so smooth that there was nowhere to put it. If you can't stand up, don't even think about climbing the fence to catch birds.
Food is currently out of reach.
Chirp, tweet. The birds, however, seemed to know her helplessness, and chirped more and more vigorously above her head, as if laughing at her incompetence. It's really unbearable, it's unbearable.
A round robin with an orange neck stood on the edge of the well in the courtyard and poked its head, its small round eyes curiously looking at the baby crawling towards it. Even if the baby had crawled in front of it, it did not know how to fly away, after all, since it was born in the Spirit Mountain, it had never met a human who wanted to eat it. What's more, the baby in front of him has not even grown teeth, and his legs have not yet stood straight.
The baby drooled, held on to the well rail, and struggled to stand up with all the strength of the milk.
If such a close, such a small bird can't catch it, she shouldn't be an eight-hundred-year-old spirit fox in vain.
As soon as I tried my best, I really stood up. Her heart was full of joy: birds, birds, I'm coming.
A small hand reached out to the robin, but her legs went limp, and she fell to her knees, her bulging forehead clattering against the bluestone railing.
A cloud of sparks erupted in front of his eyes, scattering into a sky full of golden stars.
How can there be stars in broad daylight, what kind of demon moths? Oh, not the stars, it's the fireworks. The fireworks are brilliant and fleeting. What covered the sky was spread out from the forehead, and there was an endless pain and pain.
"Wow--" Xuan Liuyao, you don't care about me?
Coo-to-goo-it was not Xuan Liuyao who responded to her, but it was a deep voice, as if there were waves rolling. The voice was just a wall away, and it was close to my ears. Hu Yi should stop crying and listen quietly.
Woo--
