Time, push forward 20 years.

At that time, the village at the foot of the mountain was still inhabited by many families.

But as in all remote villages, young people go out to work, and only the elderly and children stay at home.

But there is one family in the village that is different.

The 30-year-old man still stayed in the village, not because he didn't want to go out to work, but because he had lung disease and couldn't do heavy work.

Fortunately, the man got sick because of his work in the factory, and the factory compensated him a sum of money, and the man returned to the village and was able to live his life.

On a snowy morning that year, the man was walking at the entrance of the village as usual, but he noticed the crying of a baby under the straw leaning against the field.

At that time, there was still a patriarchal phenomenon in the countryside, and the poorer the area, the more so, the baby girl was abandoned.

The man took the baby girl back to his home, and the people in the village persuaded him when they found out, saying that it was not necessary for him to come back with a baby girl, and that if he really wanted to keep the seeds, he could buy a baby boy.

It was illegal to buy and sell babies, but in a remote mountain village, in those days, no one felt that there was anything wrong, and the man listened to the persuasion of the villagers, but he smiled and shook his head.

Maybe it's because of the extra child, the man's body is getting better and better, and when the baby girl is seven years old, a matchmaker comes to the door to make a matchmaker for the man, and the woman is from the next village and divorced.

In the case of men, it would be good to be able to marry a wife, and it didn't matter if they were divorced or not.

The man agreed to this family affair, and soon the woman got married, and the next year she gave birth to a baby boy, and the man was very happy, and he had both children and daughters, and God still favored him.

It's just that with the birth of his son, the man's wife is like a different person, she doesn't do any work, her eight-year-old daughter washes her clothes, and as for cooking, she pushes it to the man.

It is normal for children in the countryside to be in charge of the house early, but when the man saw that his daughter's hands were frostbite in the winter, he felt very unbearable, and said a few words to his wife, but he didn't expect this to cause his wife to respond violently.

Although the man's health has improved a lot over the years, he can't be stimulated because he has lung disease, and this quarrel has made the man's old illness offended, and his body has deteriorated rapidly, and he can only lie in bed in a few days.

When the man's wife saw this situation, she secretly left, ran away from home, and did not return to her parents' house, and it was said that she went to work in a big city.

Upon learning the news that his wife had run away, the man was once again stimulated, and he died in bed less than a week, leaving only his eight-year-old daughter and one-year-old son.

"The man knew that he was no longer good, and on the night he left, he told her daughter that she should go to another family in the village without a woman, and as for the son, he would hand it over to the villagers to send to another family to find another family to adopt."

A one-year-old baby boy is still wanted by many families without sons.

However, the daughter shook her head and refused, and told the man that she would raise her brother.

Hu Xin looked at Lin Ye, Lin Ye listened silently, he knew that the daughter in Hu Xin's story was her, or the original body of this body.

"Such a young girl, after her father's death, because she had no money, knelt at the door of someone's house, and asked the people in the village to carry her father up the mountain for burial, and after burying her father, she also chose to drop out of school, did not continue to study, but took the kind of trinket needlework that wore 500 pieces a day, and could earn 20 yuan."

"Although the days are hard, the girl is very happy to see her brother grow up day by day, but fate has not favored the girl, when the younger brother was three years old, he suddenly contracted a cold and fell ill, and the girl did not have enough money to treat her brother."

"Fortunately, the doctor sympathized with her and gave her a lot of free money, but even so, my brother needs to supplement nutrition when he goes home, which is also a lot of money, in order to make money, the girl can only work hard, continue to thread needles during the day, and wait until the evening when my brother falls asleep, so she will go to the mountains to dig some herbs with a flashlight."

"When I go up the mountain at night, even some adults in the village don't dare to do it, but a little girl with such a thin body dares to go up the mountain alone for her younger brother, not to mention the beasts and poisonous insects, but the mountain road has fallen and slipped many times, but the girl still persevered."

"Once, the girl was chased by a wild boar, panicked and dodged and broke into a cave, the cave has a frangipani, because of the absorption of the earth's leylines, about to become a spirit, the moment the grass and trees become a spirit, will attract wild beasts, and in this cave, there is already a poisonous snake staring at this frangipani, just waiting for the moment when the frangipani flower becomes essence, swallow it in one bite."

"The girl broke into the cave by mistake and found a poisonous snake, but the girl was not afraid, and killed the poisonous snake with the hoe that dug the herbs in her hand, which can be regarded as saving the life of the frangipani."

"Later, Frangipani cultivated to perfection, stayed in the cave for five years, and after having some skills, she thought about going to the girl to repay her kindness, but when she came to the village, she found that the girl was missing, and she had been missing for three days."

"The people in the village were looking for the girl, and she saw that the girl's younger brother was looking for his sister, and his feet were worn and his skin was worn and he didn't stop, and finally he couldn't hold on and fainted, and was sent to the hospital by the villagers."

"The villagers persuaded the boy to give up, saying that her sister might have been taken away by wild beasts when she went up the mountain to collect medicine, although there were no tigers in the mountains, but there were also jackals, and the boy didn't believe it, but his body was not good, and he couldn't get out of bed at all."

"The boy couldn't find his sister, but she could, and Frangipani used her magical skills to find the girl's body at the bottom of the pond not far from the entrance of the village."

"The girl was packed in a sack, the sack was tied with an iron chain, and at one end of the chain was a big stone tied, and the girl's clothes were stripped naked.

"Frangipani wanted to avenge the girl, she prayed to the heavens, but she didn't expect the heavens to really respond to her, so that she could possess the girl's body."

"The next day, the girl returned to the village, and when she saw the girl come back, the villagers were very happy, and the two sisters and brothers were grown up by them, and when the family did a happy event, they would also call the sisters and brothers to come over for dinner, and the clothes that the children in the family could not wear would also be sent to the sisters and brothers."

"The people in the village are not rich, this is already the biggest help that everyone can give to the sisters and brothers, and the sisters and brothers also know that the people in the village are good to them."

"The girl's younger brother was also very happy to learn the news of his sister's return, and the condition caused by the fire in a hurry was also quickly improved, but the day after the girl came back, two people died in the village, and a husband and wife accidentally fell into the water and drowned in the pond at the entrance of the village."

"The pond at the entrance of the village was contracted by the couple, and the villagers guessed that the couple was afraid that someone would come to steal the fish at night, and wanted to guard it, but they didn't expect an accident, and they sighed more in addition to their feelings, only the frangipani flower essence knew that the couple did not drown by accident, but was put into the water by her."

"Frangipani possessed the girl into the village, and noticed that the couple's expression was wrong, and at night the couple secretly walked towards the pond, and the words of the couple's whispered conversation while walking also let the frangipani know the truth."

"It turned out that four days ago, the girl went to the mountain to collect medicine, but that day there was a sudden rainstorm, the girl hurried down the mountain, her clothes were wet, the husband of the couple happened to cut the fish grass by the pond, seeing the girl's body after the clothes were wet, he actually moved evil thoughts, dragged the girl to the temporary thatched hut by the pond, the girl resisted desperately, and the man strangled the girl to death in anger."

"The girl was strangled to death, and the man was also panicked, and at this time his wife happened to send food over, witnessed this scene, after scolding the man a few words, he thought of covering up the crime for his husband, and after the couple discussed, they decided to sink the girl's body to the bottom of the pond, and wait until a few years later, the body is decomposed, and at that time, even if it is found, it is not afraid, there is no evidence."

When Hu Xin said this, there was a mocking expression on his face: "When the couple saw that the girl came to life, the two were scared and anxious, and they were already restless during the day, so they came to the pond while it was dark, intending to pull the sack up, but unfortunately, the two failed to salvage the sack, but they both fell into the water and drowned." ”

Listening to this, Lin Ye's eyes froze, this couple will drown, it is what the frangipani flower essence in front of them did, but the heavens are clear, and the retribution is unpleasant, and it can be regarded as deserved.

"Avenge the girl, Frangipani originally planned to leave, but when she returned home, she saw the diary written by the girl, and in the girl's thick hundreds of pages of diary, each page mentioned her brother."

After reading the girl's diary, Frangipani changed her mind, because she knew that what the girl needed most was not to avenge her, but to take care of her brother, and she decided to take the girl's place and take care of her brother.

When Hu Xin said this, he looked behind Lin Ye, Lin Ye didn't look back, he had already sensed that Hu Yu was hiding behind the corner behind him and eavesdropping.

"Sister!"

Hu Yu walked out of the corner with tears on his face.

"You've already guessed it, right, Xiaoyu."

Hu Xin was not surprised that Hu Yu was eavesdropping, she said these words to Lin Ye and Hu Yu.

Hu Yu nodded: "My sister didn't touch my head before, she said that children won't grow taller if they touch their heads." ”

Hu Xin was stunned for a moment, and the next moment he smiled: "Then come over and let my sister touch it." ”

Hu Yu stepped forward and squatted down, Hu Xin rubbed Hu Yu's head: "Xiaoyu has grown up, and he wants to see a broader world, my sister can't be selfish enough to leave you in the mountains." ”

"Sister......" Hu Yu was about to speak in a hurry, and Hu Xin pressed his lips with his fingers.

"After so many years, I deceived you, will you blame me?"

"No...... No wonder, in my heart you have long been my sister. ”

Hu Yu's answer made Hu Xin's face stiffen suddenly, he held Hu Yu's cheeks with both hands, and said seriously: "Xiaoyu, you will always have only one sister, no one can replace her, she has suffered too much for you." ”

"I ...... I ......"

"Okay, help my sister go back to the room, my sister knows that you secretly bought cosmetics to give to my sister as a birthday gift, take them out."

Hu Yu helped Hu Xin into the house, turned around and took out a set of cosmetics from under his bed, more than two hundred yuan, he secretly went into the city to buy it without telling his sister, and it was his sister's birthday in three days, and he was going to give it to his sister on that day and give her a surprise.

"Go to the mountains and plant a few flowers for my sister, my sister not only has to put on makeup, but also to arrange flowers for herself."

In this season, there are still wildflowers blooming on the mountain, Hu Yu nodded heavily, turned around and ran towards the mountain.

Lin Ye didn't enter the house, he was standing in the open space outside the door, but at this moment, he couldn't help but speak: "Why bother, you have already repaid your kindness, there is no need to come to this point." ”

"It's been seven years, I don't know if I'm Frangipani or Hu Xin, or we should be one, thank you Mr. for helping, a little bit of the little demon's heart, I hope Mr. will accept it."

In the room, a droplet of liquid that shone with white fluorescence floated out, Lin Ye reached out and took it, the water droplet fell on his palm, if you look closely, you can see that there is a white flower in the liquid.

This is a demon crystal unique to grass, wood, and plant spirits.

Only the grass and wood spirits can be released by themselves, similar to the primordial gods of Daomen cultivation, once they are taken out, it means that their cultivation is in vain.

The loss of the Yuan Shen in Taoist cultivation is the exhaustion of cultivation, and the loss of the demon crystal by the spirit represents the end of life.

"I hope Mr. will take care of Xiaoyu more."

This was Hu Xin's last voice, and when Hu Yu hurriedly ran into the house with a bouquet of wildflowers, after half a ring, Hu Yu's heart-rending cry came from inside.

"Sister!"

……

Frangipani!

A plant that has more flowers than leaves.

On the mountain behind the village, Hu Yu carefully put Hu Xin's body into the freshly dug grave, and on Hu Xin's head, there was a plain white frangipani, which was not picked by Hu Yu......

Hu Yu was crying while filling in the soil, Lin Ye stood aside and stood quietly, and waited until Hu Yu filled in the grave before he spoke: "I will arrange for you to go to school." ”

When Hu Yu heard this, he opened his mouth to say something, but Lin Ye then said something again.

"This is your sister's request for you, and it is also her last wish."

"Okay, I'll go study."

When Hu Yu heard this, he nodded heavily and wiped his tears, he used to stay in the village because he had a sister in the village, but now that his sister is gone, his home is gone.

"Let's go."

Lin Ye took Hu Yu and turned around and walked down the mountain, but after turning around, his right hand flicked slightly, and the demon crystal of the frangipani flower fell on the grave, and soon disappeared into the soil.

"Maybe next year, a large field of frangipani will grow here."

Lin Ye whispered, Hu Yu looked up at Lin Ye in confusion, and didn't understand what Lin Ye meant.

PS: The mood of writing this chapter is a little complicated, from a news I saw not long ago, and then I revised it, for fear of being reported again, I listened to "Lilac" to finish writing this chapter.

The grave was full of flowers

It's the beauty you crave
