Eight Seven Stars

Well, the pheasant thinks it's unexpectedly good.

Since the young lady woke up that morning, she has no fever, no cough and vomiting blood, and no deep sleep.

Yesterday, I got out of the car and walked a few steps, but I was weak in the end, and soon I went back to the car and lay down.

It was still a thin donkey pulling the cart slowly, the road was bumpy, hot for a while and heavy rain for a while, but every time I turned back to speak, someone responded, and all hardships and worries were swept away.

Before I knew it, I really walked to the Xucheng boundary.

It's really going to Miss's house.

She really sent the young lady back.

"Miss." The pheasant couldn't hide her excitement and asked, "Are you familiar with this place?" ”

The young lady lay on the car and shook her head: "Not familiar." ”

Also, now I just entered the Xucheng realm, not to Miss's house, Xucheng is so big, how can Miss be familiar with it, and Miss is not very happy to come home......

The pheasant took out the picture drawn by the young lady and looked at it carefully, although it had been memorized, but it still had to be opened every time, as if it would be more accurate in this way.

That night, the young lady stretched herself out and drew dotted lines and lines to outline the route, simple but very detailed, down to the names of villages and towns.

Now those villages and towns have passed, and there are only two points left on the picture, one dot says Xinghua Academy, and the other dot says cemetery.

The pheasant's gaze fell on the last spot, and his heart ached dullly.

"Miss, are you hungry?" She asked softly.

The young lady shook her head again: "Not hungry." ”

The pheasant said yes: "Then let's continue on our journey and strive to spend the night at home tonight!" ”

The young lady also said yes, but did not close her eyes to rest, but looked at the picture in the pheasant's hand and stretched out her hand: "Show me." ”

Road map? The pheasant hurriedly handed her the drawings, and the young lady unfolded the drawings in front of her eyes with both hands and looked at them carefully.

The donkey cart swayed and continued on its way.

The pheasant looked back from time to time and saw that the young lady was looking very seriously, and her fingers were still caressing the words on it.

"Miss's handwriting is really good." The pheasant said, "Everyone in the family says this, even the third son......

Before he finished speaking, the pheasant raised his hand and slapped himself in the mouth, what kind of family, what kind of third son, this will be an enemy in the future, how can she do this in front of the young lady.

The young lady didn't seem to hear the last half of the sentence, her fingers gently stroked the drawing, and nodded: "It's very good." ”

The pheasant breathed a sigh of relief, said no more, and led the thin donkey to speed up.

At dusk, a thatched cottage finally appeared in the pheasant's sight, just beside the main road, by the lake, and the afterglow of the setting sun gilded it with a layer of golden light.

But when he really got closer, the golden light dissipated, leaving only his eyes full of ruins.

The three rooms are side by side, and there are traces of fence stakes on the outside, and the fences are gone.

The doors and windows are dilapidated, and the weeds are overgrown.

It was more broken than the ruined temples they passed along the way.

Miss's home, really, not like home...... The pheasant stood in front of the grass hall and didn't know what to say, feeling very sad, Miss, in fact, there was no home.

"Not bad." A voice behind him said.

The pheasant hurriedly turned around and saw the young lady get out of the car, and she hurriedly held on.

The young lady put her backhand on her arm, and looked through the window from left to right at three rooms, one was supposed to be the living room, one was supposed to be where the young lady's grandfather taught, and the other was the kitchen, and the earthen stove was still there.

"The house is well repaired, very strong, and looks dilapidated on the outside, but not even the wind and rain have invaded the inside." The young lady said, and patted the doors and windows lightly, "As long as the doors and windows are changed and cleaned, you can live." ”

She sniffed lightly again.

"The house also uses medicinal materials, so snakes and insects do not invade."

Is that so? The pheasant probe looked inside, and sure enough, she saw that the roof was intact, there was no trace of rain leakage on the ground, and there were no snakes and insects, and she couldn't see it if she didn't go in, but she also sniffed hard, and there was indeed no such corrupt smell that had not been living for a long time.

"Sure enough, Miss's home is the most familiar to Miss." She said happily.

The young lady looked at the cottage and said, "I'm not familiar with it either." ”

Qing Pheasant didn't think it was too strange when she heard this, Miss rarely talked about herself when she was in the Lu family, and only mentioned to her that it was her mother who came to her grandfather's side when she was seriously ill and died.

Not long after I came, I was picked up by the old man, so I don't know much about this place.

The pheasant didn't ask any more, and looked at the lock on the door: "Miss, do you have the key?" ”

The young lady hummed, but did not take it out, but looked up at the hill next to her.

"Let's go see the cemetery first." She said.

Yes, there is such a big thing, even if the relatives are gone, the tomb is also a place of peace of mind, the pheasant responded, and did not ask Miss if she could walk, Miss couldn't walk, so she put Miss on her back.

The young lady did not let her carry it, although she looked weak, but she supported her with one hand and a bamboo stick in the other, and slowly came to the halfway up the mountain.

Turning a path that was clearly artificially repaired, I saw two small tombstones in a field of green bamboo.

The pheasant carefully helped the young lady to sit down in front of the tomb, and did not know how to comfort the young lady, so she lowered her head to clean the dead branches and leaves in front of the tomb, and the corner of her eye saw that the young lady did not cry, but looked at the tombstone quietly.

"The older the man." The young lady whispered, reading the name on the tombstone.

This is obviously not his real name, and the pheasant can't help but look at the tombstone, there is no life and no origin, only three words.

"Yue Nu." The young lady looked at the tombstone next to her.

Is this the young lady's mother? The pheasant looked at the tombstone, it was also so simple, a person only left these two words in his life, and nothing else.

"Then I will write ...... in the future," said the young lady's voice, "Yue, little girl?" ”

The pheasant wanted to laugh somehow, but it wasn't funny at all.

Is there only one daughter? Does Yue's mother only have one daughter? Miss's father......

Miss only has a nickname in the Lu family, and no surname.

Without a surname, for a person, there is no home, no clan, no other relatives.

People live all their lives, they have no name and no home, and a lonely grave on the mountain, which is too sad.

"Miss." The pheasant said, "Your name is Ah Qi, and that's the name." ”

Even if it's a nickname called by my mother, it's a name.

The young lady turned to look at her and shook her head slightly: "No. ”

No? The pheasant was stunned.

"It's seven stars." The young lady said, stroking her cheek with her hand, "My name is Qixing." ”

Seven stars? Miss's name turned out to be Seven Stars, and the pheasant was surprised and delighted.

"That's a nice name." She said happily and curiously, "Is it the meaning of the Big Dipper?" Stars in the sky—"

The pheasant looked up at the sky, it was getting late at this time, but he had not yet been able to see the starry sky, and he looked at the young lady sitting in front of the tomb under the sunset, with black hair hanging down her shoulders, her eyebrows were like distant mountains, and her eyes were like paint.

She couldn't help but say, "It's to say that Miss is as beautiful as a star." ”

The young lady smiled.

"Pheasant." She said, "Go collect some firewood and we'll make a fire." ”

Oh yes, I have to cook and boil water for a while, there must be no firewood at home, and the pheasant responded, and hesitated to go away.

Miss was too calm.

When I returned home, I saw the graves of my grandfather and mother, and I didn't cry or make a fuss, and I didn't even shed tears.

Is the young lady determined to die?

"Miss." She said, "Don't think about it, no matter what, you're alive ......"

She didn't know how to persuade her for a while, she was treated so treacherously by the Lu family, she was an orphan girl, how could she live in the future.

Pheasant tears slid down.

"Miss, if you are alive, you can at least sweep the graves of your grandfather and your mother."

Is this reason for consolation?

The young lady glanced at the tombstone, and the person who didn't even leave his name should not care if there were descendants to sweep the tomb.

She looked at the maid's tearful eyes, nodded and said hello.

"I'm not going to die." She said, "I'll live." ”

She looked at the tombstone, her eyes fell on the word Yue Nu, and she reached out and stroked it gently.
