Chapter 348: Three hundred and forty-eight days to become an old lady
These days, the old lady is sleepy, but A-Ning is blue now. Not only did he not sleep at night, but he also had no taste for eating, he was originally fat and strong, but now he has lost weight.
He stepped forward to help the old lady up, but the old lady waved her hand weakly. The boat was rickety, but she was still lying comfortably.
"Is this a boat to Lin'an Mansion? Why haven't it been so many days? ”
The old lady looked at the window, but she couldn't see anything in the closed window, but A-Ning subconsciously blocked her view.
"Tomorrow will be here."
Can you come to Lin'an tomorrow?
The old lady looked at A-Ning's face carefully, his expression was the same as always, if she hadn't learned A-Ning's true face from the system, the old lady would not have doubted his intentions by now.
Although there was only one A-Ning in front of him, he didn't know how many A-Ning's accomplices were on the ship. The old lady didn't want to startle the snake, so she still nodded weakly, looking drowsy, but the meaning of her words was very clear.
"That's good. I will go to the Anji Palace, I am commensurate with the old prince's brothers and sisters, and he will be able to protect us thoroughly. ”
She secretly looked at Aning, and when she said "Anji Wangfu", his face did not change.
Isn't it a gang of rebels?
After the Yue family was rehabilitated, those who fell into the well at the beginning all suffered. Zhang Ai also said that a group of people had been secretly attacking them. The old lady thought that A-Ning wanted to resist stubbornly when she caught her, but now it doesn't seem like that.
No matter how powerful the chaotic party is, it must be used by the officials. If she knew that she had a close relationship with the old prince, she shouldn't be so calm.
So who is he?
The old lady still has no clue, waiting for A-Ning to say it herself, which is tantamount to a fool's dream.
A-Ning concealed it, but she really cared about the old lady's body.
"Hey. Master Hou, don't think about it, take care of your body. He tucked the quilt up, and the care in his eyes didn't want to act at all.
The old lady had no clues, so she simply started from her body and continued to try.
"My body has long run out of oil, and I'm afraid I won't be able to survive it at this time. If I don't wait for the shore, I'll die, and don't blame yourself. ”
As soon as the words fell, A-Ning immediately denied it.
"Master Hou, no! I'll do everything I can to save your life! ”
His eyes were full of determination, and he didn't mean to say it, he really wanted to do it. In the past few days, his arrangement has indeed attached great importance to the old lady's body.
It's good to have a value.
The old lady's heart relaxed slightly, and she smiled, as if a loving elder was looking at the comforting junior.
The old lady's age is more than enough to be A-Ning's mother, and this situation will not be abrupt.
The atmosphere stagnated slightly, and it was almost as soon as A-Ning realized that his determination was abrupt.
He and the old lady have only known each other for three months, and they have been so enlightened in three months...... Being too faithful is also like a disguise.
The old lady was unaware of this abruptness, and with a smile in her eyes, she asked like a gossip:
"Can you write?" Just the right amount of stagnation was brushed aside, and A-Ning's face improved a lot.
"A little."
I don't know if he let his guard down, or if he didn't take it seriously, and actually admitted that he could write.
In this era of per capita illiteracy, it is a shocking thing that a poor peasant can write!
A-Ning bowed slightly, looking humble, but with an unstoppable edge.
For the first time, the old lady realized that this seemingly rehabilitated man was actually extraordinary everywhere.
What made her overlook?
It's the low-key easy-going he's always been; It was he who appeared as a refugee, with preconceived ideas; Or was it a deliberate act on his part?
Actually, Aning's disguise was not much better.
When the old lady realized that he was extraordinary, she looked at him everywhere.
"I said, you can write it."
The old lady did not show any objection, waited for A-Ning to bring paper and pen, and said slowly:
"Seeing the words is like the face. My body was running out of oil, and Dr. Xiao knew everything about my condition, and he would explain everything. This distress is thanks to A-Ning's protection from birth to death. If I get in the way, it has nothing to do with him. All the children of the Hu family must protect A-Ning throughout his life. ”
Her letter is equivalent to giving A-Ning a talisman, if she dies, the only A-Ning by her side will become the biggest suspect, even if he is not wrong, he will become wrong.
The old lady's heart for Aning can be seen by the sun and the moon.
When writing about "a comprehensive life", A-Ning paused and finished writing as usual.
His expression was a little complicated, and after stopping his pen, he looked at the words on the paper and did not speak for a long time.
"Show me."
The old lady beckoned to him, a warm smile on her face. In front of A-Ning, she did her best to keep her will, but she didn't want A-Ning to worry anymore.
A-Ning came back to her senses and showed the paper to the old lady.
The words on it are sharp, like an arrow ready to fire. It is said that words are like people, and the old lady only knows a little about A-Ning at this moment.
"The handwriting is good."
Putting down the paper, the old lady sighed faintly. It was as if the act of holding the paper had consumed all her strength. But she still held on to not letting herself fall, and she became more and more gentle to A-Ning.
"Hou Ye praised." Ah Ning seemed to be a little distracted, he didn't look at the old lady's eyes anymore, his eyes wandered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Ahem, ahem......"
A rapid cough finally changed his gaze.
"Master Hou!"
A-Ning reached out and gently patted the old lady's back, giving her a smooth breath. The concern in his eyes is not fake, that worry...... At least the old lady didn't see the illusion.
If even this is fake, then Aning's acting skills are too superb.
"It's okay, it's old. In the past, I could hold it down after taking the medicine prescribed by Dr. Xiao, but now I can't. The old lady waved her hand to show that she was all right. She knows her body, and it is not easy to live after this toss, so she really doesn't dare to ask for too much.
During the conversation, the "Doctor Xiao" mentioned by the old lady intentionally or unintentionally finally attracted A-Ning's attention.
"Dr. Xiao?"
Aning paused.
"It's Dr. Xiao from the county medical center, he has been here a few times, but you haven't seen him."
The old lady didn't want her family to know about her physical condition, and the medicine prescribed to her by Dr. Xiao only said to maintain her body. He would go to the Hu family every few days to check the old lady's pulse, most of them avoided people, and even the Hu family only thought that Dr. Xiao was here to treat Hu Baozhu.
Hu Baozhu's madness seems to be more serious......
"Aning, tell me your story." The old lady's spirit today is particularly good, but this kind of "goodness" worries A-Ning even more.
"I ......" he wanted to say and stopped, the story, there are true and false, but at the moment he didn't want to lie to the old lady.
But the truth, how can it be so easy to say?
A little panic appeared on A-Ning's face, perhaps even he didn't realize that he was extremely soft-hearted when it came to dealing with the old lady.
It stands to reason that he shouldn't have this kind of emotion, but in his days in Shanghe Village, the old lady brought him not only the spread of knowledge, but also the love of an elder.
These are all unattainable existences that Ah Ning wants to cherish.
The old lady's gaze drifted away, she seemed to have discovered A-Ning's embarrassment, but she did not intend to give up. Instead, he asked in a different way:
"You've been in the village for so long, and I haven't asked you, have you ever married a wife?"
A-Ning's age is not young, although the old lady didn't ask, but that vicissitudes of life are not something that she could have when she was young. It's just that A-Ning has been acting indifferently, which makes everyone ignore this uniqueness.
The old lady's warm voice, loving eyes, and kind smile...... Just like an elder who hasn't seen him for a long time is caring about the junior, A-Ning's heart seems to be blocked and sullen.
"Married." He replied.
The memory drifted away, and A-Ning was brought back to that long time.
His father died a few years after he was born, and he lost his mother when he was young, and he was raised thanks to several uncles and uncles. His wife is his childhood sweetheart, and the two have known each other since childhood and depend on each other for their lives. Later, it was natural to get married and have children.
But his uncle, with a crush on his wife!
The uncle wanted to steal his wife while he was hunting in the mountains. The wife was fierce and pulled out a knife to kill herself.
But for the sake of the so-called "decency", his wife died in vain, he couldn't even ask for justice, and he had to respect his uncle.
He ran away from home in a fit of rage, even if he was left to fend for himself outside, it was better than being low and small in front of his uncle.
After saying this, Aning's face was covered with tears. Unlike the Hu family's thunder and rain, A-Ning's tears are real. It had been a long time since he had remembered them, and each time it was a pain in his mind.
But today, in addition to pain, there is an unspeakable feeling.
The old lady trembled with anger, she knew that A-Ning's words were disguised, but the tears on his face couldn't hide it. His wife really died because of her uncle's selfish desires.
"How can there be such a person who has lost his conscience at this moment! Where's your uncle? I will use the identity of the Hou Ye to give you justice. ”
The old lady was really annoyed, she wanted to rely on her identity to "bully others", and give A-Ning and his wife justice.
A-Ning looked at the old lady in a daze, as if she couldn't believe that she was going to call the shots for him.
After the incident, his elders, those "loyal servants" all prevented him from taking revenge. Although he knew it was right, no one said that they would seek justice for him.
Only, the old lady......
A-Ning smiled with relief and said:
"He's dead."
Sensing the old lady's strange eyes, A-Ning added:
"Addicted to alcohol all day long, his body was hollowed out alive and died young."
He tugged at the corners of his mouth, which was probably the happiest thing in the first half of his unfortunate life.
He's dead?
The old lady didn't give up.
"He's dead, everyone else is still there. But those uncles and uncles of yours are preventing you from coming home? ”
Aning's experience is outraged, but his family is still helping to abuse. The old lady found her goal, and her body hardened.
"Let's not go to Lin'an Mansion, while I still have a breath, go to Shen County. Master Hou, I want you to return home. ”
As she spoke, the old lady was about to rush under the bed, but she couldn't stop it.
