An old woman replied in a low voice, "Someone...... Who is it...... I'll just come...... The door is opened, and you wait for me. ”
Then came the sound of staggering footsteps from inside the cabin.
I only heard a "squeak" sound, the door opened, and Shangguan Lingxue saw a female face with a sallow face, pale hair, and an old face in the wooden house, she was at least fifty or sixty years old, her eyes were cloudy, and she was wearing a simple linen cloth.
The old woman who opened the door, her eyes turned, and she took turns looking at Shangguan Ling Xue and Lu Shaoyun's bodies for a while, and then her eyes flashed with a strange light, and she said politely: "The old man is old, his body is weak, his ears are not good, and it is inconvenient to move, so it is slow to open the door." I hope you don't get offended. You two, please come in quickly, and if you can't find shelter from the wind and rain, your clothes will be soaked. ”
Shangguan Ling Xue saw that the old woman looked at herself and Lu Shaoyun so strangely, and felt ashamed and happy for no reason, her face was hot, and her head lowered slightly unconsciously.
Shangguan Lingxue hurriedly said: "Where! How can we blame you, old woman? We are grateful to the old woman, but you are too late? If it weren't for the old woman, you would have given us convenience, and the two of us would have been outside in the rain and eating the west wind." ”
The old woman nodded, pushed the wooden door wider open, turned around, bent down slightly, and gestured to Shangguan Lingxue and Lu Shaoyun to enter the wooden house.
Shangguan Lingxue was not polite, and helped the unconscious Lu Shaoyun into the wooden house, looked around, and found that the decoration inside was simple, only an old chair, an ancient Zhuozi, a short stool and two rocking chairs woven by human skills.
The old woman first asked Shangguan Lingxue and Lu Shaoyun to rest on the two rocking chairs, and then said: "You two people, the mountains and rivers are far away, and you must be tired after such a long journey. Lie down on these two rocking chairs to recuperate. The clothes on your bodies are soaked with rain, I'll go get you some clothes to change, if you cover them for a long time, it's easy to get sick. What's wrong with this boy? Got hurt? Ah! I'll talk about it later, and I'll put on your clean clothes before I make plans. lest you get sick, and then you will be in trouble. ”
As soon as the old woman finished speaking, she let go of her footsteps, moved her staggering body, and rushed to the room, wanting to find some clean clothes for Shangguan Lingxue and Lu Shaoyun to put on as soon as possible.
Shangguan Lingxue saw that the old woman was so kind, I don't know why, suddenly remembered "Xiaolan" who had served her for more than ten years in her head, and her heart was grateful and emotional, her eyes were red, and she said sincerely to the background of the old woman's departure: "Old woman, you are so good." Thank you very much. ”
The old woman looked back, smiled meaningfully, blinked mischievously and mysteriously, and said proudly, "You're welcome. This is what I should do. I understand your mood very well. I want to ...... back then"
When the old woman said this, a complicated look flashed, and she said with emotion: "I think that when we were desperate, we were also taken in by a family of kind-hearted people. In the dark, there is a providence. Now that we have done this, we are not only happy in our hearts, but we should also be regarded as repaying our benefactors. Alas...... Time flies! But I've never regretted it. In the blink of an eye, a few ...... have passed."
Shangguan Ling Xue felt that the old woman was weird, her speech was a little off-topic, and the expression on her face was very strange, the old woman seemed to be dozens of years younger in an instant, and she had become a happy and infatuated girl.
Speaking of this, the old woman reacted, patted her head, smiled embarrassedly at Shangguan Ling Xue, and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry." If you look at me, I just know that I feel the past, and I forget to do even important things. It's really old. I hope you don't feel offended, girl, and I'll go and get you clean clothes. ”
The old woman turned her head and began to look for clothes again.
Shangguan Lingxue hurriedly said: "Old woman, you are so good to us, where can we blame the old woman? Old woman, you walk slowly, we are young, we are strong, and we don't care if we are drenched in the rain." ”
Although Shangguan Lingxue said so politely, she was very worried about Lu Shaoyun's injury, afraid that he would add fuel to the fire, and then have a high fever, but she didn't care much about her body.
The old woman heard Shangguan Lingxue's words, her footsteps didn't stop, she didn't turn her head, she just nodded slightly, and went to find a clean one to wear for Shangguan Lingxue and Lu Shaoyun.
Shangguan Lingxue watched the old woman take out two sets of clothes, one was worn by a man, and she looked a little unhappy.
But Shangguan Lingxue is convenient for the old woman after all, and it is not good to blame and rarity, and it is better to have a clean set of crappy clothes to wear than to cover her body with wet silk satin.
Shangguan Lingxue looked at the women's clothes held by the old woman in her left hand, and was so frightened that she couldn't swallow her tongue, only to see that the women's clothes were bright red in color, exquisitely cut, and beautiful in materials, and there were many flowers and branches and leaves embroidered on it in various colors, which looked extremely harmonious and extremely valuable.
And this set of clothes must not have anything to do with the simple dress on the old woman's body, and it should not appear in such a poor home.
The old woman's eyes were sharp, and she saw Shangguan Lingxue's surprise, and she was not angry, she smiled slightly, and said, "How is it, I can't imagine that my wife and son have such a beautiful and exquisite set of clothes in their poor home, right?"
Shangguan Lingxue seemed to be reflexive, and immediately replied: "Where's it...... No...... I...... Nope."
The old woman's eyes flashed, and she interrupted: "You don't have to deny it, I know you must think so." If I were you, I would think the same way. ”
Shangguan Ling Xue smiled embarrassedly, which was an embarrassing acquiescence.
The old woman's face was full of Xinfu, and she said happily, "Do you know how this suit came about?"
Shangguan Lingxue shook her head and said, "I don't know." Mother-in-law, can you tell me about it?"
The old woman said, "It's all right to tell the girl, but you two must put on your clothes first, lest you freeze." In that case, I won't be able to get by. ”
Shangguan Lingxue's eyes widened, and she waved her hand again and again: "No...... No...... Such a precious and delicate garment...... It must be important to you, or something special... I don't wear ...... Woman, you brought me another set. ”
The old woman said slowly, "What's the significance? Isn't it just a piece of clothing? ”
Shangguan Lingxue said: "I don't care about what I wear, mother-in-law, you still changed my ......"
The old woman pretended to be annoyed, frowned, her face darkened, and said in a deep voice: "In this case, the girl should wear this suit, so that I don't have to look for it again." Mother-in-law, since I took out this dress, I want you to wear it, girl. Mother-in-law is kind-hearted, girl, do you refuse so ruthlessly? This set of clothes is so beautiful and exquisite, you should let a young and beautiful girl like you wear it, mother-in-law is already a person who is about to die, and she is still dressed in red and bright, what kind of body has become of it? If you don't wear it, you think your mother-in-law's clothes are not beautiful enough, and you don't give face to your mother-in-law. ”
Shangguan Ling Xue saw her mother-in-law's appearance, and when she saw her mother-in-law's stern words, she was embarrassed to refuse again, so she didn't move her mouth to speak, so she had to nod her head, which was considered to be an agreement.
The old woman was not angry when she saw Shangguan Lingxue's perfunctory appearance, a sweet smile appeared on her face, and she said happily: "It's good if the girl is willing to agree." This outfit was worn on the girl's body, and it must have been a personal outfit that complemented each other. Clothes ...... People are more beautiful...... In short...... It is...... Beautiful tight. ”
Everyone has a love for beauty.
It's just that women are even more so.
Hearing the old woman speak like this, Shangguan Lingxue's face showed a touching smile from the bottom of her heart.
The old woman saw Shangguan Lingxue's happy appearance, and she laughed unconsciously.
