Chapter 31: Memories

As soon as He Jiayun entered the house, he received a call from Mr. He.

"Rabbit, you can find a way to ask your aunt out tomorrow."

He Jiayun is worried.

"Grandpa, you are my own grandfather, don't be embarrassed about your grandson, don't you even look at it, my little aunt and grandmother are likable, and the five male guests with me all want to ask her out, your grandson is not so capable, can you be sure to ask her out."

He Jiayun was a little cold in front of outsiders, but when he faced the old man, it was called a flamboyant tongue.

When Old Man He heard this, he suddenly came to his senses: "How about those four people?" Where did they come from? Where is home, how many people are in the family, and what do you do now? ”

He Jiayun stroked his forehead: "Do you always check your account?" ”

"That's your aunt and grandmother, it's from our family, I can't ask clearly, your aunt and grandmother in the province are deceived, you don't know, your aunt is soft-hearted, kind and simple, what if she is deceived by a stinky man?" Old Man He pulled his face and reprimanded He Jiayun: "You have to take care of your aunt and grandmother, otherwise you will be deducted from your pocket money for three years." ”

This trick is really ruthless.

He Jiayun wanted to kneel.

"Okay, okay, I'm optimistic about it."

Speaking of this, he wanted to ask a question that he couldn't understand for a long time: "Grandpa, according to what you said, you are the sister you recognized when you were a child, and my aunt and grandmother are older than you, how do I think she doesn't look like a person in her nineties?" Also, the ID card of the person clearly states that the girl in her twenties is ...... Tell me, what the hell is going on? ”

As soon as he asked, Old Man He fell into memory.

A lot of things that he thought he were about to forget came to his mind at once.

Old man He fled with his family to that small village, and on the way to escape, his family was almost dead, and his mother carried him to a village where there was food, and took him to live in the land temple at the head of the village, and the mother and son begged for food for a living.

On the way to escape, He Mu lost her body and settled in the Land Temple, but passed away in more than two months.

At that time, Old Man He was only seven or eight years old, and the people in the village were kind-hearted, and when they saw him pitiful, they often gave him a bite to eat.

Because of this, he didn't starve to death.

But...... At that time, no one's life was easy.

It is impossible for other families to give him food every day, he eats from east to west, and he can get by with hunger and a full meal, but it is really difficult to endure in winter.

The doors of the land temple were broken, and the northwest wind of the great winter poured straight inside.

He didn't have thick clothes, no thick quilts, no firewood, and he could find a place with the sun to warm up for a while during the day, and at night, he could really freeze people to death.

At that time, Old Man He thought he would not be able to survive, but that night, he was frozen and dazed, and many phantoms appeared in front of him.

He saw his mother who had died, his little sister who died at the age of three, and his grandmother who gave him meat......

In the midst of this hallucination, he felt a lot warmer.

He saw the light, and in the light, a very beautiful girl, wearing a thin dress and long hair with scattered hair, was looking at him.

The beautiful girl's mouth was open and closed, but he couldn't hear it.

He thought everything was an illusion, but the next morning, he really felt that the land temple was much warmer, and he also saw a bowl of hot porridge next to it.

He hadn't had a hot meal in two days.

Seeing the hot porridge, Old Man He burst into tears at that time, he held the blue and white porcelain bowl, and cried while drinking the porridge.

At this time, a very warm hand fell on his head: "What are you crying about?" ”

Old Man He almost didn't choke.

He looked up and saw the good-looking girl he had seen last night.

"I, didn't I dream last night?"

The girl smiled.

She rubbed a handful of Old Man He's already scattered hair: "No, you have lived in my temple for a long time, I see that even if you have no food and clothing every day, you know to worship me, so I can't bear to let you freeze and starve to death." ”

When Old Man He's mother was dying, she told him that if she borrowed the temple of other people's gods, you have to abide by other people's rules, you can't touch the things in the temple casually, and remember to worship from time to time, even if you can't find something to eat, it is a flower or a grass, but you must be sincere.

Although Old Man He is small, he has a good memory, he remembers these words, and every day he will find something outside to worship.

Sometimes it's a bird's egg, sometimes it's a small fish in the river, sometimes it's a wildflower, sometimes it's a beautiful stone to pick.

He offered every day for many months, and finally the true God appeared.

The beautiful girl sat next to Old Man He and watched him drink porridge.

When he finished drinking the porridge, the girl waved her hand, and the bowl was gone.

Old Man He didn't mention how frightened he was at that time.

But when he thought about it, he was an orphan without a father or mother, and he was on the verge of freezing and starving to death every day, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

"You are the god of this temple?"

Old Man He asked in a low voice.

The girl smiled: "Well, you can call me Qingluo." ”

"My mother said you can't be disrespectful to the gods." Old Man He didn't dare to call Qingluo's name directly, so he said, "Can I call you sister?" ”

Qingluo nodded: "Yes." ”

Old Man He was like a ghost, and immediately knelt down for Qingluo and snorted several times: "Sister." ”

Qingluo suffered from these heads, and in the future, she took a lot of care of this cheap brother who was automatically sent to the door.

Because of Qingluo, a god with weak divine light, Old Man He survived the winter.

At the beginning of spring, Qingluo began to teach him literacy and arithmetic every night.

Every night, a lamp in the land temple is like a bean, and the two sisters and brothers gather under the lamp to hold a branch and write on the sand table one by one.

Later, she didn't know where Qingluo found some Western books, so she began to teach Old Man He to read and taught him some foreign languages.

Old Man He is very smart and has a good memory, many times Qingluo learned it as soon as he taught him, and Qingluo also found the interest in teaching and educating people.

In this way, Old Man He was taken care of and taught by Qingluo until he was fourteen or fifteen years old.

He found that Qingluo's time with him was gradually shortening.

When he first met Qingluo, Qingluo would get along with him for more than two hours at night.

After that, it's time to come.

And now, Qingluo has only been able to appear in front of him for more than an hour.

He was in a hurry, and he didn't dare to ask Qingluo.

Until one day, he went hunting in the mountains, and when he came back, it was already late, he carried the prey on his back to the gate of the land temple, and in the distance, he saw Qingluo wearing a long embroidered dress, long hair tied into braids, and sitting on the threshold with his chin in his back.

Seeing Qingluo, Old Man He's heart warmed.

He ran over with a smile: "Sister, I hit a rabbit today, and I'll roast a rabbit for you to eat in a while." ”

Qingluo raised her eyes and glanced at Old Man He, she got up and entered the Land Temple.

Old Man He also hurriedly followed up.

The land temple is still as dilapidated as ever.

The only difference is that there are so many things on the table.

Old Man He recognized some of them, and some of them didn't.

There were a lot of gold bars on the table, some calligraphy and paintings, and a box full of jewelry.

Qingluo pointed to the things on the table: "This is the mundane things I have accumulated for many years, I will find them out today, and give them to you, you have been studying with me for some years, I think you have extraordinary qualifications, if you have been staying in this place, it is inevitable that the pearl will be dusty, it is better to take these things and go out for a while." ”

Old Man He chuckled in his heart.

He had a very bad premonition.

During these days, he went out early and returned late, sometimes he hit the prey and ran to the city to change things, he also went to the bookstore to borrow books and read, and read a lot of books about gods and monsters, and he felt that Qingluo was in a very bad state.

He had been worried that one day Qingluo would no longer appear.

But he didn't expect this day to come so early.

Looking at Qingluo, Old Man He's eyes were slightly red, and tears flashed in his eyes.

Qingluo's expression was light, there was an indescribable laziness, and a bit of casualness that looked down on everything: "You are a smart child, and you know my situation...... I'm afraid that if I don't explain again, there will be no time to say a lot of words, life is scattered and impermanent, cause and effect are determined, we can be sisters and brothers for so many years, it is not a small fate, and now the fate is over, you will pack up your things and go, and you don't have to remember me when you go out. ”

After saying this, Qingluo walked away.

Old Man He watched as her figure faded until she disappeared without a trace.

He knelt down with red eyes and swallowed several heads.

After standing up, Old Man He packed the things that Qingluo gave him, and packed a few clothes that Qingluo sewed for him.

Early the next morning, Mr. He left with his suitcase.

It's been a long walk.

Later, he established himself outside, married and had children, and then returned to this small village.

But at that time, the land temple at the entrance of the village was gone, and it is said that it was demolished by the road construction here a few years ago.

Old Man He lived in the village for a few days, and in the past few days, he would go to the place where the land temple was originally built every day to sit, and this sitting would be for several hours.

He babbled a lot of things, saying that he had encountered hardships over the years, sins he had suffered, and blessings he had enjoyed, and that he had not used much of the things that Qingluo had given him, and he had saved them, so he wanted to take Qingluo's sister over to enjoy the blessings, but now he can't find his sister anymore.

Those memories that have been carefully cherished in the depths of his mind are turned out, and Old Man He's eyes are red even after going through the world.

"Rabbit cub, don't think I don't know what you're thinking, you're old and confused? I'm telling you, I won't fail to recognize my own sister at any time. ”

The old man wiped his tears and scolded He Jiayun strongly.
