The two of them walked one after the other, on the path back to the workshop.

Ruyi paused and looked at the puddle of water that had accumulated on the side of the road, and his appearance was printed upside down.

Her face was already wrinkled, the corners of her eyes were the most obvious, and she looked down at her hands, which were all calluses, and they were not as moist as they had been.

She sighed softly and came back to her senses.

Dong Chiyu paused, stood beside her, and looked at her quietly.

Ruyi looked at her, stared at her for a long time, and then said: "My mother has been urging me to marry recently, should I really find someone to marry?" ”

Dong Chiyu didn't expect her to speak amazingly, and after being stunned, she said, "Don't you want to?" ”

Ruyi pursed her lips and said, "I don't want to come......"

She sighed again and said, "Forget it, don't talk about this, let's go back." ”

Ruyi took two steps forward.

didn't see Dong Chiyu follow.

Ruyi paused, looked back at her and said, "Let's go." ”

Dong Chiyu opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment, and finally said it.

"You're like a."

But it didn't seem like it came out of her mouth.

Probably learned Ruyi.

Ruyi heard this sentence and gave it back to her, and couldn't help but be stunned.

She couldn't help but laugh and said, "Why am I like a girl anymore?" ”

Dong Chiyu looked at her and said, "You want to get married." ”

"I don't want to."

"That's what you think."

"I didn't."

"Really?"

“……”

Ruyi was silent, to be honest, she really couldn't help Dong Chiyu keep asking like this, she knew Dong Chiyu too well, this elm head knew what was going on, and she would keep asking, and she would stop when she asked why.

"Don't ask, I'll take ......"

Ruyi sighed and said, "My mother is old and should have been an in-law a long time ago, but our two sisters and brothers have not been able to follow my mother's wishes." ”

She pursed her lips and said, "I just don't want my mother to have regrets." ”

As he spoke, Ruyi raised his head, took a deep breath, and continued: "Doctor Tong said that my mother's body is not as good as before, and the remaining lifespan is only between two or three years, which is not long. ”

Dong Chiyu was stunned when she heard this, "Godmother, she ......"

Ruyi stepped forward, patted her on the shoulder, and said, "Don't be too sad, people are inherently dead." ”

Dong Chiyu shook his head, as if something was about to be destroyed in his heart.

Her gaze was a little distracted, and she couldn't believe what she was hearing.

Dong Chiyu looked at Ruyi fiercely and said, "There is a way, right, your uncle, isn't he an immortal, he must have a way, right?" ”

Ruyi said: "Doctor Tong was taught by Uncle Chen, he also has a way, I asked my mother, but she didn't want to, people are old, the more afraid they are, not afraid of death, but afraid of going to the end, the one who goes to the back is the most painful ......"

"Mother, she has already looked down on something."

Dong Chiyu shook his head and said, "I don't understand, I don't understand." ”

She breathed a sigh of relief, but her eyes were red.

Ruyi said: "You are still young, of course you don't understand." ”

After a pause, Ruyi also said something that his former uncle seemed to be 'perfunctory'.

"You'll understand later."

Ruyi said this, she only thought that Uncle Chen had deceived her with such words, but now that it is true, it is indeed the case.

Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Uncle once read the book that it is written, since you are a layman, do not seek immortality, I didn't understand it when I first read it, but slowly, I also saw through this sentence, we are all laymen in this red dust, not like the immortal who does not eat fireworks, laymen should not live for a long time, it is sad, but also painful, let it be, follow life and death, is the best way." ”

Dong Chiyu took a deep breath and reached out to wipe away a handful of tears.

The godmother is very good to her.

I haven't forgotten her anything good on weekdays, and she has some wishes, even if she eats at a table, a roast chicken, and the two best legs are all given to the two of them.

Now hearing the words 'life is approaching', Dong Chiyu can't help but feel a little broken in his heart.

After many years, she once again experienced what it is like to have loved ones, but it was so short that it made people feel sad.

Ruyi stepped forward and hugged her.

"Don't cry, don't cry......"

She didn't know how to comfort her, watching Dong Chiyu cry, Ruyi, who had cried many times, now wanted to cry.

……

Wang Sanniang saw that the two girls came back with red eyes.

was immediately taken aback and said, "Ouch, who bullied you two?" Why are your eyes so red? Is this crying? ”

"What's going on?"

Wang Sanniang was a little at a loss, and hurriedly stepped forward and pulled the two girls to sit down.

"Mother."

"Godmother."

Wang Sanniang looked at the two girls in front of her, couldn't help but feel a little distressed, wiped her tears for them, and then asked what happened.

When the two girls didn't say anything, they seemed very calm.

Wang Sanniang was a little annoyed, so she blamed: "You two are really, and now you are even hiding your mother?" ”

Dong Chiyu lowered his head and didn't speak.

Wang Sanniang snorted lightly, really got up, and said, "If you don't talk about it, don't talk about it, don't eat tonight." ”

The meal was served.

Wang Sanniang sat with Uncle A, and Ruyi and Dong Chiyu stood aside.

The tanuki were all on the table, and they were still standing.

Wang Sanniang just said that, but she didn't really stop the two of them from eating.

"Okay, okay, my mother can still starve you, come and sit and eat."

"Oh......"

The two of them stepped forward and sat down.

Tanuki took a bite of food, looked at Ruyi, and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

"Tanuki shut up."

“……”

Wang Sanniang sandwiched two pieces of meat with three layers of flowers and put them in the bowls of the two girls.

"Eat more, eat more, you two practice martial arts, you can't eat enough."

Dong Chiyu looked at the meat in the bowl, and it became more and more unpleasant.

"Godmother......"

Thinking about it, I shed a few tears and went into the bowl.

Wang Sanniang couldn't see the girl crying, so she was immediately anxious.

"My girl, what are you crying about, why are you crying......"

Wang Sanniang stepped forward and hugged her, and hurriedly asked.

"What the hell is going on?"

Originally, Ruyi told her that she wouldn't mention it when she went back, but when she arrived at Dong Chiyu, she couldn't help it.

Dong Chiyu cried and said, "Godmother, can you not leave ......?"

Wang Sanniang immediately understood after hearing this.

She turned her head and glanced at Ruyi.

Ruyi lowered his head a little weakly.

My mother instructed that Dong Chiyu should not know this, also because Dong Chiyu had a bad background, and she was afraid that she would be too sad.

Wang Sanniang hugged Dong Chiyu, patted her on the back, and said: "Okay, okay, my mother is not leaving, isn't my mother here, what are you talking silly, don't go, don't go, what is my mother going, where can I go......"

Wang Sanniang's words were slow.

Dong Chiyu couldn't help but think of her late mother, her godmother's voice was like her mother's, slowly, with a slightly hoarse voice, but it was so soft.

As she listened, the more she cried, the harder she became.
