Chapter 18: Lost Spring Heart
The dark wooden door of He Kee's grocery store was open to both sides, the curtain of the small shell skewer swayed slightly in the wind, and He Ye's loud laughter came out of the store door, and it could be heard clearly from a distance. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info Wu Shanyue walked to the front of the store, only to see the door curtain lifted, a girl walked out of the door, only fifteen or sixteen years old, seeing Wu Shanyue nodded and smiled, Wu Shanyue also smiled, and her eyes involuntarily swept over the other party's slightly bulging lower abdomen.
They don't know each other well, so they can only barely know each other. The girl is the daughter-in-law that Zhao Hai married half a year ago, and Zhao Hai is a friend who has played with He Ye since he was a child. The girl who got married half a year ago was only fifteen years old, and now she is four months pregnant, and the child has sprouted in her body, and her belly is already a little bulging. Wu Shanyue subconsciously lowered her head, her body wrapped in a dress was graceful and charming, but she had a little inferiority. She had a question in her heart that had been bothering her for a long time, and for some reason, the seed that Lin Du had sown in her body had not yet germinated, and there was no sign of growing into a child at all. Others are fifteen years old, and they themselves are fifteen years old, and others grow up in half a year, how can the seeds that have been sown for eight years have no movement?
Is it moldy?
Wu Shanyue didn't understand. Jin Luohua wouldn't tell her about this, and there was nothing about it in the books she usually read, so she was even more embarrassed to ask her friends. She probably has only one friend, and that is He Ye, because Black Bean always likes to come to He Ye's little white dog marshmallow, so she has to come to He Ye, and she usually buys some spars and flower essences from He Ye's side when she practices. He Ye doesn't know how to practice, so they can only talk about black beans and marshmallows together, and occasionally talk about He Ye's childhood friends.
Seeing the pregnant girl turn into the alley, she lifted the curtain of the grocery store. There were a few malicious eyes behind her, which made her already not very sunny mood a few more wisps of mist. There are always flies flying up and down, but there are especially many in the past few days, except for the dodgy eyeliner of the Guizhen Sect and the City Lord's Mansion, there are many monks who have flocked to the city recently. Even if they have just made an example of killing chickens and monkeys, there are still some people who are ready to move. The heavenly eyes of Shashui City are about to change, the Guizhen Sect is spreading rumors of dragon turtles everywhere, and some scattered monks in the vicinity are running over, whether it is true or not, there will inevitably be a major change in the Phantom Sea Desert.
It doesn't matter. What she was worried about was whether Lin Du would be able to come back safely. Seven years has arrived, and it's time to put an end to this wait. It's a pity that Lin Dui's whereabouts are unknown, so there is no way to find and greet him. Aunt Hua was also in such an excited and worried mood, waiting for Lin Dui's return, and had to run to the city gate every morning and evening to take a turn. She behaved much calmer, practicing as usual every day, taking care of the flowers and plants in the back garden, and accompanying black beans to go shopping, but sometimes when she walked on the street, she couldn't help but guess if it would be Lin Dui. And the anticipation day after day is accompanied by growing anxiety and confusion, entangled in why her and Lin Dui's child has not been able to sprout for a long time.
The girl lifted the curtain and entered, smiling on her face. The dark-skinned sixteen-year-old female shopkeeper, Miss He Ye, was lying on the counter counting a pile of crystal clear stones, looked up and saw Wu Shanyue, threw back the big braid on her chest, grinned heartily, and shouted in a slightly rough voice: "Yue'er, you are here! My father went out of the city to pick up the goods, and I was here to look at the store, and I was worried that I couldn't find you." I left you a few spars, which have been sold so fast lately that they are all out of stock. As she spoke, she grabbed the pile of stones on the counter and put them in a black cloth bag, making a crisp clattering sound.
Wu Shanyue smiled when she heard this, and her voice was mellow and pleasant: "It's just right, I came here to buy some spars to go back, thanks to you for keeping them on purpose." ”
He Ye was surprised: "You won't rush the level again, will you?"
"Well," Wu Shanyue nodded slightly, "the moon is about to swirl all over the place, and I want to flush it with a spar." "When the stars are condensed, they often need a lot of star energy, and it is easy to condense naturally below the four spins, but above the four spins more or less need to rely on some external forces, and the spar is a relatively cheap choice.
"Ha, it's a shame that I didn't sell it to Zhao Hai's daughter-in-law just now, otherwise you wouldn't be enough!" He Ye grabbed the cloth bag and shook it, then put it back on the counter and pushed it to Wu Shanyue, "There are ten pieces of green ghost and moonstone, and five pieces of aquamarine, I picked the best ones, take them!"
Wu Shanyue touched the bag, and it was full of large and small stones. She raised her head and asked He Ye, "You just said, Zhao Hai's daughter-in-law, she came to buy a spade?"
"That's right, but it's not for the sake of the child in the womb. I don't know who said that drinking water boiled with green quartz can make children practice in the future, and I don't even believe it! Otherwise, how can those guys in the Guizhen Sect still fool people?"
"Well, that's definitely useless, the energy in the stone can't be digested by soaking in water. ”
"So, I told her, it's better to grind the stone into powder and cook porridge to drink, it must be better than soaking in water!"
“......”
"Why do you look at me like that? Maybe it's useful, I don't believe you can try it if you have a child in the future! Oh, you don't have to try, you're a great cultivator in the future, and you'll definitely be able to give birth to a doll that can practice. I'll try it myself, go back and ask my father to grind a few bags of spar powder for me to make a dowry, and when I get married, I will boil porridge and drink it every day, three times in the morning, noon and evening!" He Ye held his cheeks and talked like popping beans, entering the beautiful reverie of married life, but soon she sighed, "But if you get married, you have to sleep with a man, if you marry someone like my father, the smell of alcohol will smoke people to death,...... That's probably how my mom went. ”
He Ye has not had a mother since he was a child, and Wu Shanyue also knows it. I didn't expect this innocent girl to joke about her dead mother, maybe not a joke, she really thought so. Wu Shanyue casually comforted her and said, "Then don't sleep together." ”
"That's not good," He Ye shook his head like a rattle, "How can you have a baby if you don't sleep together?"
Wu Shanyue's fingers on the spar bag suddenly stopped, she raised her head, frowned slightly and looked at He Ye, the smile in her eyes disappeared, and became calm and deep for a moment, and after a moment she hesitated to speak: "Give birth...... Why do we have to sleep together?"
He Ye looked at Wu Shanyue, blinked his eyes, then leaned over the counter and approached her, blinked again, suddenly slapped the counter, and grinned: "Your expression, this expression...... Haha! I was scared when I saw it! It turns out that you don't know that marriage is to sleep with a man, so you don't even know this!haha...... It's ridiculous, it's laughing!"
He Ye seemed to have encountered the most interesting thing in the world, so he just patted the counter and laughed, Wu Shanyue stood outside, her thin and curved eyebrows frowning tighter and tighter. She stubbornly repeated the question she had just asked: "Then why, do we have to sleep together?"
"Of course, you have to sleep together to have a baby!" He Ye tried his best to stop laughing, and replied as a matter of course.
"Why?...... How is it born?" Wu Shanyue's eyes were already rippling, pushing forward layer by layer, pushing her very unstable mood. She casually grabbed a thread, knowing that it might solve her puzzles, so she stubbornly wanted to get to the bottom of it.
He Ye was stunned, completely put away his smile, touched his head and thought about it, and then said, "How to give birth...... Actually, I don't understand, and I haven't given birth to it. She felt that she was really a failure, and she went back and forth with Zhao Hai every day, but she forgot to ask. I laughed at Wu Shanyue just now, I really lost face.
Wu Shanyue's tense nerves eased a little. It turns out that He Ye doesn't understand, and what he said is not necessarily right, so it's good. Looking back, there were no new customers in the store, so she thought about taking out the fertility theory that Jin Luohua told her to discuss with He Ye, lowered her voice and asked cautiously, "Will it be ...... It's just kissing, kissing and giving birth?"
He Ye opened his mouth, looked at her in a daze, suddenly burst out laughing, and then slapped the counter with his hand while leaning forward and laughing.
Wu Shanyue looked at her quietly, her eyes like the calm sea before the storm.
"Why do you think that?...... I'm telling you it's definitely not! It's too easy to kiss each other, but you have to go into the cave room to get married, and you have to sleep together!" He Ye seemed to be very unhappy when he saw Wu Shanyue, thinking that she felt that she was lying to her, so he said firmly: "Really, we must sleep together, I don't know the specifics, but I dare to guarantee this!"
Wu Shanyue's lips moved slightly, she originally wanted to try to persuade He Ye that male and female fertility is a blend of yin and yang, and it can be done through verbal contact, which is what Aunt Hua said word by word. But He Ye's determination made her lose confidence, and her lower abdomen, which had not been able to bulge for a long time, made her even more confident. She suddenly turned around and walked outside the store, not even taking the spar bag, and He Ye's words echoed in her mind:
Definitely going to sleep together!
We're going to sleep together!
Let's sleep together!
Boys and girls, men and women, why they love each other, why they get married, why they stay together until they grow old, why they have children, she doesn't understand, she doesn't understand. When she was smaller and smaller, she struggled alone on the horizon of life and death, only knowing desperately to find something to eat, clothes to wear, and a place to resist the wind and cold, she didn't understand. At that time, someone told her that kissing would give birth to a child, she believed it, she liked the child who had no intention of kissing indirectly, she didn't care who he was, she didn't care who he was, she didn't care if he was rich or poor, she didn't care if he could practice, she was single-minded, even if she hadn't seen her for seven years, and she didn't know her life or death for seven years, she hoped that he would wait for him.
But what if that statement is false?
Could it be fake?
An avalanche of power poured down, and a heavy blankness piled up in my heart. Wu Shanyue walked out of the store, squinted her eyes and looked up at the sky, the sun fell like rain all over the city. Black Bean came up and jumped around her skirt as usual, and He Ye also chased it out of the store, insisting on stuffing the spar into her hand. But she didn't have the heart to pay attention to these, and if she didn't want to pay attention to that, she would ignore it, she had always been a reckless person. She let go of her steps and walked through the streets, just wanting to go home and find an answer:
Aunt Hua, did you really lie to me?
