Chapter 1: Bullies
Yongzhao 17th year, winter.
The cold wind on the street seems to have grown eyes general straight to the human clothes drilling, freezing roadside puppies are huddled in the corner, the original lively village is now silent, leaving people are the sound of the wind.
At this time of the year, all agricultural work has stopped, families are hiding at home to prepare for winter things, the sky is cloudy, no one is willing to stay outside, for fear that it will snow and get wind cold.
Laiyi village next to the river, the river was cut a hole, cold water flow, there is a thin man squatting there to wash clothes, wooden basin in the clothes have not known a few holes, the man's hands have been frozen red, a closer look at it is still trembling lightly.
Of course, the man's body also stood a woman.
Woman hand holding a wooden stick, look vicious, the next moment will be gritted teeth will stick mercilessly hit on the man, mouth vulgar words ceaselessly: "Loser thing, my mother saved you, but also from the green house to you this theater ransom out, the result is that you are a nemesis! If it wasn't for you, my mother wouldn't have died so early, her body has always been strong! How could she die of a cold! It must be you! You want to use hot water to wash your clothes? Want to think of the beautiful......"
mentioned the word "theater", the woman seems to think of what hateful things, she was even more angry, raised his feet and kicked the man that thin body, a few muffled grunts, the man begged for forgiveness, but half useless. But half useless, the woman on the contrary, more angry, the whole person as a maniac general.
"Go to hell!" The woman this time is a hard kick up, the man did not resist, closed his eyes and fell into the river in despair.
The beating is the village doctor Xu Wangyue's daughter Xu Yuan, her mother is respected in the village, but the daughter is no good, gambling and drinking all day long, often mixed with a wound back to let their own mother to heal, and then Xu Wangyue in order for her to get married as soon as possible to collect the heart, this is the man he saved to Xu Yuan as a husband.
I thought that Xu Yuan would be able to get over it and be a good person, but I didn't expect Song Xiucheng to suffer from beatings all day long, and even Xu Wangyue, the mother, couldn't stop it.
Cold wind blew, the river water is cold, but can not withstand the man's heart cold like gray, he let himself immersed in the river, thinking that this is the end of life is good.
At this time, the nearest to the river a few families a stick in one hand rushed out, to the woman on the beat, mouth is also cursing non-stop: "Xu Yuan you bully, bullying husband you count what woman!
Later these people rushed out to beat Xu Yuan and then cursed what can not be heard, there are a few people panicked Xu Yuan's husband Song Xiucheng rescued up, after a few discussions, decided to twist Xu Yuan into jail.
"This bully...... doesn't deserve to live in our Laiyi village anymore!"
"Right!!!"
After a few choruses, Xu Yuan, who had already been beaten unconscious, was sent to the jail by them.
*
"Which hospital looks like this?" Xu Yuan woke up with her head covered in a daze, she looked around, apart from the corpse of a rat and those moldy rice particles there was nothing else at all, wasn't she in a car accident? It was a miracle that she was still alive, but why was she sitting in this place.
But why is she sitting in this place? Before she could think well, she heard a few birds chirping outside, is this a return to nature?
Xu Yuan endured the pain in all parts of the body to stand up, through the barred window to look out, the outside is full of graves, overgrown weeds, the sky is dark, who does not know whether it is now the early morning or the middle of the night, a few mournful birds are more oozing, atheistic Xu Yuan can not help but be a little afraid.
The brain is still thinking about those red hair green ghost story, Xu Yuan just intended to leave the window, then found the distant grave there seems to stand a person......
The person's body is long and thin, by the moonlight will be the shadow pulled long, like a really come to claim the life of the impermanent, Xu Yuan was stunned, she could not even move her feet, extreme fear from the bottom of the heart rose up. The bottom of the heart rises.
"In the end...... what is this place ah......" Xu Yuan swallowed a mouth of saliva, just intended to hold the wall to sit down, then found that the figure of the long and thin people around suddenly came a number of people, those people punched and kicked at him. Those people punched and kicked at him, scavenging the pitiful little bit of money from him before spitting a few mouths of spit and leaving.
Xu Yuan's heart suddenly rose a burst of heartache, but the evening wind blew, Xu Yuan then figured out, he still do not know where this place is it, rather than feeling sorry for others, it is better to feel sorry for yourself.
After a tsk, Xu Yuan is going to sit down, but the sound of footsteps coming from the distance makes her raise her heart to her throat, she should be in the prison now, could it be that those footsteps are coming to torture herself?
Thinking of this, Xu Yuan was a bit scared, her legs were shaking a bit as she held her breath and listened quietly.
"Bully with a playwright, really perfect match...... Hey, you say these come to ransom Xu Yuan's silver, is it Song little slut again to go to which place...... "The latter words, the jailer did not say out, and Xu Yuan is to listen to the confusion, not waiting for her to sort out what the situation saw a few big and thick women came to open the door to their own, the keys in her hands jangling mess, but once became Xu Yuan's life-saving heavenly music, she wanted to get out of here, go wherever you can, as long as you leave this depressing ghost place.
With a thud, the cell door was opened, the string of chains fell to the ground, Xu Yuan at the moment like a frightened little rabbit, saw the few women come in the moment to hide in a corner of the cell, the few jailers are also a little surprised, this...... locked up for a few days people stupid?
"Hey, Xu Yuan, right, that one of your family is right outside to receive you, quickly get out, anyway, you have to come in again in a few days." The woman's voice resounded above her head, but Xu Yuan couldn't care about anything else, she staggered to her feet and ran out, afraid that if she was one step slower, she would be taken back.
Unfortunately, Xu Yuan's body was full of wounds, and when she ran, she would pull her wounds, which caused her to grimace in pain.
In order to be able to run out, Xu Yuan can only grit her teeth and endure the pain, until the moment she ran out, Xu Yuan only felt that her body had no strength, and she fell to her knees with a thud, her hands supporting her body, and the bruises on her knees began to ache again, the violent impact of this moment made Xu Yuan's tears roll down instantly.
The cell door has long been closed, no one to come up to help her, Xu Yuan is really in pain to completely unable to stand up, now outside a small bulging graveyard bag makes Xu Yuan completely dare not look up, she only dares to look down at the dirt road covered with stones, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse, the cold wind into Xu Yuan's thin clothes, freezing her shivering, and the moonlight sprinkled on the ground, the scene is disturbing.
At this time, in Xu Yuan's line of sight appeared a pair of feet, that pair of feet on the bruises, actually bare on the rough dirt road, no bruises on the place is white and good-looking, hard to think of this person in front of them in the end experienced what.
Xu Yuan did not care about the fear and pain, her brain quickly guessed what the owner of these feet was going to do, just at this moment, above her head came a melodious and somewhat timid voice.
"Matriarch......"
Chapter 2: Matriarch
"What? Matriarch? "Xu Yuan's brain instantly went blank, she slowly raised her head and looked at the man in front of her with his head hung low, digesting for a long time "Matriarch "The meaning of this word, it's hard to believe that...... this is the era of women's honor?
"Matriarch...... we go home......" Song Xiucheng looked at such her voice is even smaller, lest a word is not right, Xu Yuan is going to come and hit him.
The man stood there silently, slowly reached out his hand to hold Xu Yuan's arm, those gray dust around with the cold wind blowing up, Song Xiucheng's silhouette into the dark night, quiet terrible.
Xu Yuan looked at him, there was no hurry to stand up, now Xu Yuan's mind was frantically squeezing in some memories that didn't belong to her.
The owner of this body was also called Xu Yuan, with a violent and unbearable temperament, while this person in front of her was called Song Xiucheng, a playwright that the original owner's mother had ransomed from the town's greenhouse, it was said that his people sold their art and not their bodies, but everyone still spat on him because of his identity. Even after the original owner tried to touch him several times and was forced to die, she started to torture him in various ways.
Scolding is still small, do not give food, winter in the cold river washing clothes, alone on the mountain to cut firewood...... those things that are worse than dogs and pigs a pile of one by one since Xu Yuan flashed in his mind, if these are only Xu Yuan hears stories, Xu Yuan will be in the heart of the bitterness of a long time, not to mention that the abuser of these things is actually the same as the original owner of the show. The perpetrator of these things is actually "himself"......
Xu Yuan was helped up by him, but did not know how to face Song Xiucheng, so he had to avoid Song Xiucheng's gaze, and after adapting to the severe pain in his legs, he was able to get to the bottom of the problem, but he did not know what to do. With the idea that saying more was wrong, she just said, "Go home."
Just after her voice left her mouth, Xu Yuan was quite satisfied, although it was a bit hoarse, she could still hear that the sound of her voice was not unpleasant.
Unfortunately, the memory in Xu Yuan's mind is only a few images of the incident, she now does not recognize any road home, beside Song Xiucheng again conforming to masculine virtues in general, only dared to walk half a step behind Xu Yuan, did not dare to walk faster at all.
Xu Yuan walked a few steps, came to the grave, in all directions seems to be the road, but she did not know how to go, a few mournful bird calls sounded again, just in the prison did not have this kind of fear of bird calls, but now stood to the outside to hear this kind of bird calls, if not Xu Yuan want to maintain the persona, now would have long been hugged beside the Song Xiucheng screaming.
"Matriarch?" that timid voice rang out again, his voice was very small, originally the surroundings were quiet enough, just like that, but Xu Yuan almost didn't hear him.
"Ah, I'm here I'm here." Xu Yuan reacted for a long time before realizing that Song Xiucheng was calling herself, she didn't intend to learn Xu Yuan's kind of temperament, now that she didn't know the way anyway, she took this opportunity to re-establish her persona.
Xu Yuan for the first time did not open his mouth to scold himself, Song Xiucheng eyes crossed a trace of surprise, but still a little fleeting, he was again very humble and lowered his eyes, did not dare to look at Xu Yuan square face at all: "Matriarch was injured...... hurry back!...... Don't go to another place, okay......"
The last few sentences, surprisingly, is with a few hints of pleading, Xu Yuan blankly looked at him, simply do not know why he would say so, and vigorously recalled for a long time. Only then did he fish out a few fragments in the sea of memories he had just received.
The original owner of such a gangster, since Song Xiucheng how not to let her touch, often ten days and a half months to see people, leaving Song Xiucheng alone in the village, the daytime by all the spit, but also at night to guard against the village, and the original owner every time to come back will be with a full of anger or wounds, pick up the stick is to Song Xiucheng to spread anger!......
When Song Xiucheng saw that Xu Yuan was not going to leave tonight, he subconsciously thought that she was going to go out again. Originally, Song Xiucheng didn't dare to have any other opinions, but tonight he saw that Xu Yuan's body was so injured that he wanted to try it out even at the risk of being beaten.
Xu Yuan's eyes instantly turned red, she was originally not a soft-hearted person, but looking at such an aggrieved Song Xiucheng for the first time wanted to give her patience.
"Don't be afraid...... I fell on my head in prison, many things don't remember too well, only remember that I...... wasn't good to you...... "Xu Yuan make hard to think of wording, the original master kind of not only is not good to him, simply do some pig dog worse than things.
Song Xiucheng did not wait for her to finish, then instantly raised his head, the pair of narrow eyes are full of tears, he held back not to cry out, but the speech has been with a sobbing voice: "Cheng to do what is wrong, Matriarch will be punished! Don't...... don't leave Cheng......"
Xu Yuan looked at this kind of Song Xiucheng is even more heartbreaking, surrounded by graves she did not care about, limping turned around to face the Song Xiucheng: "I didn't say I was going to leave you, don't be afraid, don't be afraid......"
Song Xiucheng is still a bit of a stranger to her in the end, and she stood still at a loss for words, and didn't know whether or not to replace her hand. Song Xiucheng is still a bit of a stranger to her.
Song Xiucheng is still holding back from crying out, he is again lowering his head, did not say anything, teeth biting hard on the lower lip, Xu Yuan look at all the pain.
The cold wind whistling in the ears, Xu Yuan fingers are freezing, but she also remembered Song Xiucheng's feet are bare.
So in such a hurry, Xu Yuan was not going to beat around the bush: "As I said, there are many things I have forgotten, just like this road home. And I'm a little cold right now......"
With these words, Song Xiucheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, as if he was still more accustomed to Xu Yuan talking to him in this way, so he took the initiative to lead the way.
Song Xiucheng was still holding her up, but the position was already slightly towards the front, they turned around seven times and came to a small path, surrounded by small graves as well, the path winding straight down, Xu Yuan realized that the original cell was on a mountain, no wonder it was quiet and silent all around, with only mournful birds chirping.
The road home did not become easier because it is downhill, Xu Yuan leg injury is getting more and more painful, and Song Xiucheng because of the bare feet, stepped on some kind of angular stones, new wounds and old wounds together with the blood, almost did not put the whole road are stained red.
Xu Yuan walked with great difficulty to the Laiyi village at the bottom of the mountain, now it is the middle of the night, and who will come out to help this bully.
Xu Yuan has long since stopped asking for this, she let Song Xiucheng help her to the entrance of the village to a large stone bench to sit down, even though the cold wind is piercing the bones, Xu Yuan how can not walk.
"Matriarch wait for me...... I'll go get you some clothes......" Song Xiucheng even though her feet are like that still wants to find clothes for Xu Yuan to wear. Draped, Xu Yuan heartbreakingly tugged at him and pressed him to sit beside him.
But Song Xiucheng just sat down, Xu Yuan can not hold back tears, she just pulled Song Xiucheng's arm, not only feel the skin and bones is how to feel, but also obviously felt his light trembling, slowly rolled up the sleeve, can only see pieces of bruises blood purple...
Chapter 3: Snowy Night
"Does it hurt?" Xu Yuan's voice couldn't be heard emotionally, only to see one of her hands gently caressing the patches of bruises and purple marks on Song Xiucheng's arm, every time she caressed an inch, Song Xiucheng's body shook in pain, and in the end, he couldn't hold back his tears any longer, and began to sob softly.
Obviously once upon a time she hated to beat herself to death, and now why is so gentle, gentle so that Song Xiucheng that years of aggression how can not hold back.
But even so, Song Xiucheng still only dared to cry quietly, his other hand tugged at the hem of his shirt, Xu Yuan painfully wrapped his arms around him, trying to use his own cold hands to warm up for Song Xiucheng, as long as a person has suffered this kind of beatings, it's impossible for Xu Yuan not to feel pain. What's more, this person in front of him is also his own "Consort".
Laiyi village in this moment than the graveyard outside the cell is quiet, can not hear the sound of chickens, can not smell the smell of rice, even if it is the middle of the night time should not be so quiet ah, Xu Yuan just hugged Song Xiucheng for a while and then let go of his hand, because she really can not bear to ring such a skinny bone, and afraid of the atmosphere of embarrassment and then change the topic for the time being: "You also know that I have forgotten many things......"
Without waiting for Xu Yuan to finish speaking, Song Xiucheng was already so surprised that he even forgot to cry, he originally thought that what Xu Yuan said was false, but now that he saw such a gentle her, he couldn't help but believe it as well by seven or eight percent.
"What does Matriarch...... want to know?" Even if he believes it again, Song Xiucheng s deepest fear of Xu Yuan still can t be erased, and his voice is still as timid as ever, gradually hidden by the cold wind.
Xu Yuan wanted to know a lot of things, but now the cold outside is really not suitable for two people "long talk", and then look up to see the silver moon hanging in the sky, but found that the clouds hang over it, it is like a ghost movie in the dark and windy night, in order to be able to go back earlier, Xu Yuan and Song Xiucheng helped each other into the village. In order to go back earlier, Xu Yuan and Song Xiucheng helped each other to walk into the village.
Along the way, Xu Yuan had been observing the people in the village, only to see that the doors and windows of the households were tightly closed, and the silence was somewhat deliberate. When she came to the corner, Xu Yuan deliberately coughed, and then she heard a sound of crashing weights and people crying out in pain inside the house. Xu Yuan understood everything, and the corner of her lips tugged, this was all a game of hide-and-seek with her.
But Xu Yuan, since he had also just come to this world, was really not wanting to cause any more trouble.
She had no choice but to swallow her breath and raise her steps to continue walking after Song Xiucheng.
Who expected to feel a drop of cold on the face, then the head and body have that cold feeling, Xu Yuan slowly raised his head to the sky, a piece of white snowflakes as elves like the general fluttering down, fell on Xu Yuan's face, Song Xiucheng also followed the head up with some heavy nasal voice after crying, said: "It's snowing!......"
*
This is the first snow since the winter in Laiyi village, who did not expect it to start snowing in such a cold night, Xu Yuan just stopped to watch for a while, then back to God, she tugged at the Song Xiucheng corner of the coat: "Let's go quickly, it's snowing, it's not good to freeze outside. "
Xu Yuan urgent to go back is not want to be wet by the snow, to the snow came very suddenly, but also very urgent. The sky is full of snow, drifting, not long, the ground will accumulate a thin snow field.
Song Xiucheng nodded his head, there was hesitation between his walks, he slowly gathered his courage and pulled on Xu Yuan's coat, the two of them somewhat accelerated their speed towards their thatched hut.
Xu Yuan has thought many times in his mind how bad his house is, but when he really stood in front of the house, Xu Yuan only felt that his world was about to collapse.
There was only a barely passable yard, and other people's houses had already begun to use stones and bricks to build their walls, but Xu Yuan's house was still mainly made of grass, and now that there was even more snow drifting in the sky, the bit of thatch on the house seemed to have faltered, and had become fragile amidst the cold winds.
Obviously the original owner's mother is at least a village doctor ah, how can the house be broken like this.
Although the house is broken, there are still three rooms, the left and right two rooms are broken can not see, can only be roughly recognized from the appearance of the left is the kitchen right is the inner room, so it can be seen, Xu Yuan is now only this house can still change some money.
Unlike Xu Yuan's shock, Song Xiucheng opened the wooden door, which was not at all useful, with great ease, before folding back and helping Xu Yuan to walk in.
Really walked into the yard is another feeling, although the yard nothing, empty, but still can see that was carefully cleaned, and not half of the rural areas unique dirty and messy.
"Did you pack and clean all these?" Xu Yuan asked before realizing how stupid he was. That's right, since the original owner's mother died, other than Song Xiucheng, what villager would have the kindness to clean up the yard for the original owner's punk?
As expected, Song Xiucheng just nodded his head as a matter of course, without half complaining, "These are all things I should do." Indeed, in the eyes of people in this era, small things like cleaning up the house probably needed to be done by men.
Xu Yuan has come from a modern society where men and women are equal, and is not very comfortable with this kind of relationship, so she is determined to do what she can in the future.
The courtyard was not large, and the two quickly walked to the middle of the main house, which was furnished in much the same way as Xu Yuan had thought, even one of the bowls on the table already had a mutilated mouth.
Looking around the house, there was only a pathetic bench set up in the middle of the room, while the wooden bed was set up on the far east side of the house, with an unimaginably thin quilt on the bed.
It was hard to believe that this was something that would be covered in the cold winter. There were still many patches patched on it, and judging by the candlelight that Song Xiucheng had just lit inside the house, there were quite a few patches on Song Xiucheng's clothes as well.
Although it is said that in the ancient countryside, a few patches on the villagers' clothes is completely normal, but the original owner's living conditions are really poor to worse, she fumbled to a tank, which is labeled with a large "rice" character.
Xu Yuan took a deep breath before he dared to open it, but even with more mental preparation, Xu Yuan still could not believe that there was not a single grain of rice in the rice bowl.
Then what will they eat tomorrow? Xu Yuan feels his stomach is already hungry right now, how can he live if there is not even rice in the rice bowl?
Song Xiucheng seemed to notice Xu Yuan's collapse, he came over and put the lid on the rice jar, then for the first time he took the initiative to raise his eyes, with some comforting emotions in his eyes, "Matriarch don't worry, I'll go to the villagers' house tomorrow morning to borrow some rice to...... definitely Won't let you starve!"
Seeing such Song Xiucheng, Xu Yuan even felt sorry for him in his heart, even if the original owner treated him worse, this kind person in front of him did not have the slightest complaint, and was even willing to go and help Xu Yuan borrow rice.
I don't know which one of my tendons went wrong, but Xu Yuan subconsciously blurted out, "I'll go with you tomorrow!"
When Song Xiucheng heard this, a worried look immediately appeared on his face.
"Matriarch...... or don't go." Song Xiucheng said this sentence very quietly, afraid of angering Xu Yuan and receiving a severe beating.
Chapter 4: Don't Leave Me
Xu Yuan caught Song Xiucheng's fear of herself, and she gradually slowed down her voice, wanting to show her gentle side as much as possible, "Don't be afraid, let's talk it over, why?"
Song Xiucheng quickly lowered his head deeply again and excused himself to build a fire, Xu Yuan did not continue to press him, he just saw a broom placed in the corner, since there was no longer any sleep, it would be better to share some household chores for this Song Xiucheng.
Just when Xu Yuan had just picked up the broom, Song Xiucheng immediately threw down the firewood in his hand and rushed over to take the broom away from Xu Yuan: "I...... I'll...... "
Xu Yuan would raise her eyebrows and simply let him go, she casually picked up a rag, wanting to wipe the wooden table seriously, and as expected, Song Xiucheng stumbled over again, the injury on his foot was still not healed, and this haste instead made him sit down directly on the ground.
A stoic cry of pain, even if he suffered a great deal of aggression will not cry Song Xiucheng tonight is crying for the second time.
Xu Yuan felt her heart pumping as she hurriedly ignored the injuries on her body and ran over to pick Song Xiucheng up.
Xu Yuan, who had always felt that his hands were powerless, had easily picked up Song Xiucheng in the heat of the moment, and it was not that Xu Yuan's strength had become greater, it was that Song Xiucheng was simply much lighter than Xu Yuan had imagined.
Not only did she come across skin and bones, even her weight was so light, Xu Yuan only felt a sourness in her nose, but as a Matriarch, her dignity prevented her from crying again, Xu Yuan held back her tears and carried Song Xiucheng to the bed.
Just after putting the man down, Song Xiucheng struggled to get out of bed, his eyes filled with tears in anxiety and his mouth stuttering.
"Matriarch...... this is Matriarch's bed...... "Xu Yuan didn't know why his reaction was so big, so he had to first wrap his arms around him and let him Don't move around, and then began to gently console him, "Since you also know that the two of us are husband and wife, you call me Matriarch, and I call you Consort, we were meant to be in the same bed."
Song Xiucheng, however, shook his head vigorously with tears in his eyes, he had just been ransomed for the first night, after being pressed on the bed by Xu Yuan and not getting his way, as long as Song Xiucheng touched this bed, he would be beaten half to death by Xu Yuan.
There is not only the shadow of domination over Xu Yuan, but also the shadow cast by the severe beating of Song Xiucheng.
Xu Yuan frowned as she went through the images in her head, she no longer held Song Xiucheng, but instead she went along with him and let him out of the bed, the long and thin figure had just gotten out of the bed and ran to a corner of the room to hide and shiver.
Even the glances that were cast from time to time were all in awe.
Xu Yuan felt angry, but she didn't dare to show it on her face, for fear of adding more despair to the already scarred body and heart.
Outside the snow is getting heavier and heavier, the fire has not yet been built, better than nothing in the window gap into the gusts of cold wind, Song Xiucheng body obviously freezing and shivering, he is still not willing to come out of the cold corner.
Xu Yuan just looked at him like this for a long time before slowly speaking, "I'm sorry...... for making you suffer from before. It won't happen again, never again......"
Xu Yuan said word for word, and Song Xiucheng heard it clearly, his tears froze, and his mind was a mess as he shivered.
Matriarch...... Matriarch says she's sorry, she says she'll never do it again...... Is this a way to leave yourself?
Outside the snow fell more and more, rustling sound constantly, the house is also quiet terrible, accompanied by the sound of the cold wind, Song Xiucheng's heart inch by inch cold, he slowly stood up, began to reach out and take off his clothes......
"What are you doing?" Xu Yuan, who was originally relieved that Song Xiucheng was finally willing to come out from the corner, was a little confused by his whole action.
Song Xiucheng moved slowly, taking off his clothes little by little, already revealing his white shoulders, Xu Yuan hurriedly took a coat and ran over to put it on Song Xiucheng, somewhat confused, "What are you doing!?"
Xu Yuan's voice didn't hold for a moment, and Song Xiucheng was visibly scared by her loud voice and didn't dare to move, his fingers trembling, "Matriarch... didn't you want me...... don't leave me, I'll give this to Matriarch......"
Saying that, Song Xiucheng boldly tried to take the jacket off again, only to see Xu Yuan who was angry for the first time tonight.
"What do you take me for!" Xu Yuan felt that her temper was still not patient enough, it was clear that the person in front of her was willing to give herself her body because she was afraid that she would leave her, but why was she angry.
As expected, Song Xiucheng's eyes reddened at her words, and his movements finally stopped as he slowly knelt in front of Xu Yuan, reaching out to tug at the hem of her skirt, "Matriarch...... I'm not bitter...... I'm also willing to give myself to you now...... Please, don't leave me......"
Xu Yuan tried to help him up but couldn't, so she asked him with some heartache, "Do you love the old me so much?"
Love? When this word was mentioned, Song Xiucheng visibly froze for a moment, he never knew what love was, he only knew that when he was so close to being defiled, it was Xu Yuan's mother who ransomed him, it was Xu Yuan who carried him out, and even though he had forced himself later on, he was still in a clean and innocent body now.
Once upon a time, even if Xu Yuan left for ten days and half a month, Song Xiucheng knew that she would come back sooner or later, but now that Xu Yuan started to be so gentle with herself, it made Song Xiucheng especially uneasy.
If he really wants to leave, Song Xiucheng will have to be on his own after that, no matter what, he will still be alone, Song Xiucheng dare not imagine that there is still something to look forward to in that kind of life, he would not dare to think about it even if he died.
Xu Yuan then realizes that his perversity is a bad sign for such an insecure person with eyes that don't even have hope in them.
Xu Yuan straightaway exclaimed that he had been careless, now it was snowing heavily outside, Song Xiucheng was kneeling on the cold ground, Xu Yuan had to swear: "Don't worry, I will never leave you, I won't not want you, you get up first, OK?"
Such Xu Yuan simply let Song Xiucheng surprise, too warm, so much so that this whole day living in the darkness of the people do not dare to approach, he slowly stood up, wiped away the tears, barely squeezed out a trace of a smile, walked to the edge of the bed to spread out that poor quilt: "Matriarch said, Cheng letter...... rest first......"
Xu Yuan, however, frowned at Song Xiucheng limping to go out.
"Can it be that you don't want me anymore?" Xu Yuan followed Song Xiucheng's example, and the aggression in his tone was incomparable.
Song Xiucheng pauses momentarily, then understands, Matriarch says she's forgotten a lot......
"I'm going to sleep where I'm supposed to...... MatriarchMore to worry about...... "Song Xiucheng struggled with the wording.
Xu Yuan turned his head to look at the snow outside and the houses that were completely uninhabitable, still puzzled: "It's snowing outside, where are you going to sleep......"
Chapter 5: Heartache
"Matriarch forgot...... that there is a place for me to sleep in the east room ah......" Song Xiucheng spoke with a little stutter, and he avoided Xu Yuan's gaze, wanting to quickly escape from this house.
Xu Yuan, however, frowned and found a worn-out cotton coat to put on Song Xiucheng, wearing an expression that could not be refused, "I'll send you along."
Song Xiucheng ah ah, also dare not disobey Xu Yuan's intention, so he could only push open the door to go out first by himself, outside a freezing sky and snow, they but sat in the house for a while, now go out to look, surprisingly, they already saw a lot of white snow falling on the ground, accumulating into a pile.
Xu Yuan Yuan some emotion, so big snow, afraid of the modern northeast can not be seen, and now he can still see such a big snowstorm in his lifetime, it is not in vain.
Xu Yuan just looked at it for a while, and then turned his gaze to the east house that Song Xiucheng had mentioned, the east house was the fairly good one that he had just seen in the courtyard, but that house only looked fairly good in contrast to the kitchen house, and if it was compared to this shabby main house, it was even more impossible to look at.
Song Xiucheng braved the wind and snow to slowly walk over, Xu Yuan followed him, only to see that the east room is actually even a broken door, only an empty frame can be seen, this wooden frame was once a door, now it is snowing heavily, and this door is not half of the effect of sheltering from the wind and rain, if Song Xiucheng sleeps in it, will not it be frozen to wake up?
Unlike Xu Yuan's surprise, Song Xiucheng pushed open the "door" with a natural look on her face, and what came into Xu Yuan's eyes was a pile of firewood in the corner, and a few frozen bugs' bodies laying there, which made Xu Yuan, who had just got out of the prison, couldn't hold back any longer, and she almost escaped. almost escaped with a fit of dry heaving.
Song Xiucheng heard this subtle sound, and hurriedly turned around, the pair of thin hands on Xu Yuan's back, gently patting, do not dare to force for fear of which of their own actions again angered her, this slight action, although not any effect, but also gave Xu Yuan great comfort.
Xu Yuan just slowed down for a moment and then waved his hand, brought a broom from the house and swept these bug corpses to a corner, out of sight out of mind, then his eyes moved to Song Xiucheng's face, the cheeks were already deeply sunken because of his thinness, but Song Xiucheng still didn't have the slightest look of resentment.
Sensing Xu Yuan's gaze, Song Xiucheng had to slowly walk to the innermost part of the east room, and Xu Yuan's gaze followed suit.
The next moment, Xu Yuan's tears were once again strained, and she couldn't remember exactly how many times she had cried tonight.
What Xu Yuan saw was a tattered, already exposed quilt spread on the floor, not even a bed, the quilt was already a bit dirty, the quilt was far from long enough for such a long and thin person to lie down, Song Xiucheng could only curl up his body.
It was of no use to close or not to close that dilapidated door, the cold wind mixed with snowflakes blew in, the house was not big in the first place, and with such a heavy wind and snowfall, it had already blown next to Song Xiucheng's quilt.
Xu Yuan stood there, not negotiating in the slightest, speaking icily for the first time, "Go, no sleeping here."
Unfortunately, she had once again forgotten the fragile sensitivity of Song Xiucheng's heart, only to see Song Xiucheng stand up trembling, looking to fall on her knees again at Xu Yuan's feet, the tears in her eyes stubbornly not falling down.
"Is this Matriarch......'s way of kicking me out?"
As soon as these words came out, Xu Yuan knew again that she had been careless; she was now unable to appreciate Song Xiucheng's humility at all, and naturally she could not avoid hurting him in her speech.
Xu Yuan made a few deep breaths, she bent down and helped Song Xiucheng up, then with an unrefusable look, "My bed is too cold, you have to warm me up......"
As expected, only by saying this would Song Xiucheng be willing to obey, and he immediately stood up, barefoot again to step on that icy snow to return to the main house, Xu Yuan could not bear to look at him, and holding back his tears, he took off the tattered pair of straw shoes on his own feet, and with a look of disgust, said, "These shoes are not comfortable! You wear them for me!"
So he stood barefoot on the cold ground, but his expression could not show the slightest bit of his own cold, but instead, he had to be very dejected to shake his legs.
Song Xiucheng also do not know believe a few points, he panicked to put on the straw shoes, and then is enduring the pain in the feet ran to the main house, Xu Yuan endured the laughter limped up, I thought to see Song Xiucheng obediently lying on the bed, but found that he is still a little timid standing on the edge of the bed.
"What are you still standing there for, don't you listen to me anymore?" Xu Yuan crossed his arms, a landlord like brutality, this kind of Xu Yuan let Song Xiucheng finally settled down, he took off his shoes, drilled into Xu Yuan's quilt, and as expected it was a little bit cold, Song Xiucheng only revealed a head, with a smile that begged for rewards:" Matriarch...... comforter will be warm soon......"
Xu Yuan nodded, and as if reluctantly, she laid down on the bed, with a face full of fatigue, and wrapped her arms around Song Xiucheng like a doll, and reasoned, "Since winter is already so cold, from now on, you'll be responsible for warming my blanket!"
Song Xiucheng felt the warmth of Xu Yuan for the first time, and he was even a little reluctant to leave. Matriarch said that she had already forgotten a lot of things, so is it possible that her own identity, her own disliked can also be gradually faded by her?
Is that...... a way to get closer to Matriarch yourself?
Song Xiucheng boldly stopped curling up and stretched out his legs, his hands slowly encircled Xu Yuan's waist, and his voice was trembling a little from fear as he spoke, "Will Matriarch...... always be this gentle......"
Song Xiucheng already knew that he had some greed, but he really couldn't afford to lose such tenderness after getting it, in this windy and snowy night, he used all his strength to open his mouth and ask Xu Yuan.
Song Xiucheng had thought that Xu Yuan would ignore him or just get angry, but he didn't expect to get Xu Yuan's gentle response, "Yes, I'll always be this way to you."
Song Xiucheng froze for a long time, and after keeping the words firmly in his mind, he was about to say something else when he heard a rhythmic breathing sound.
"Matriarch has worked hard... rest well." A thousand words were replaced with this one by Song Xiucheng, who also buried his head in Xu Yuan's arms, coveting this moment of warmth.
The snow was flying outside, and neither of them felt cold even though the house was freezing.
Chapter 6: Borrowing Rice
The next morning, Xu Yuan woke up, she changed her clothes, turned back to find the man some movement, seems to be to be woken up by their own, she hastily then lie down, coaxing small children like patting Song Xiucheng's back, after a long time only to see Song Xiucheng re-sleeping peacefully, Xu Yuan only then breathed a sigh of relief.
She didn't want Song Xiucheng to wake up so early, she just wanted to make breakfast by herself then see Song Xiucheng's surprised look.
Early morning is very cold, last night and just had a big snow, in Xu Yuan just opened the door, the cold wind seems to grow eyes generally into the clothing cracks, as if in the wind is also mixed with snowflakes, can only feel the winter general bone-chilling cold.
Xu Yuan winced, looking at the appearance of silver outside, it is too much love, but before she could get excited, it collapsed when she took the first step, obviously it is not really a deep winter, not only is it snowing, but also snowing so much that it directly didn't go over the calf, that wet and cold feeling instantly swept through Xu Yuan's body.
She wrapped her clothes vigorously and waited for herself to get used to the cold before closing the door anxiously and carefully, fearing that the cold wind would blow in and freeze Song Xiucheng.
Xu Yuan walked out of the yard with great difficulty and looked at the surrounding homes, only the chimney of the next house was slowly smoking, the grayish-white smoke blended with the white sky, the corner of Xu Yuan's lips hooked up an imperceptible smile.
At the very next moment, the outer courtyard door of that household was slapped hard, the sound resounded the sky and earth, as if there was some kind of emergency, the master of that household immediately flew out, but his face changed abruptly when he saw the person coming, "How come it's you?"
Xu Yuan Yuan smiled embarrassedly, after all, it was now she who was going to beg, so she slightly lowered her already frozen red hands and smiled casually : "I...... am here to borrow some rice."
"Borrow rice?" The woman who opened the door looked very puzzled, the heart of both the hatred of this bully, but also her mother Xu Wangyue's regard, so now the woman does not know whether to give, Xu Yuan as if it had been expected, with a heart full of anticipation, said: "I have recently been looking through the mother left behind in the medical antiquities, which a Chinese herbal medicine citation needs rice, I previously I'm a loser, my family doesn't even have any grain or rice or anything else, but human life is a matter of the utmost importance, I hope you can help......"
Xu Yuan said the crown, the woman fooled a rash, the woman named Jian Yuan, is considered by Xu Wangyue most help, the more so she is the more she felt Xu Yuan excessive, the two are also considered to be from childhood to fight, who are not accustomed to who, and now Xu Yuan is actually willing to pull down the face of her, which is too inconsistent with the common sense of the situation!
Xu Yuan is actually going to learn medicine? In other words, Laiyi village will have one less bully and one more village doctor like Xu Wangyue!
Jian Yuan had not yet had time to be happy, his own Consort had already brought a bowl of rice, Jian Yuan looked at his own Consort very commendably, and then solemnly handed the bowl of rice to Xu Yuan, with a look of reluctance: "I hope that you can learn something well, don't be like that before. "
Xu Yuan suddenly felt that this bowl of rice was a bit hard to come by, and even made a promise in confusion? Looking at these two people's earnest gaze, Xu Yuan directly dreamed back to the year of the college entrance examination, entering the examination room under the eyes of everyone.
Xu Yuan trudged back while secretly deciding in his mind that since he couldn't farm or anything either, he really might as well keep using his old skills himself.
Chinese medicine, traditional Chinese medicine...... Xu Yuan suddenly felt that he photographed this specialty is tailor-made for himself ah......
Chapter 7: Making Porridge
Running home with a bowl of rice, Xu Yuan was happy, not only because he had plans for the future, but more importantly, there was also the need to make breakfast for Song Xiucheng, even though there was only rice, then boiling a bowl of rice porridge out was also a pleasant surprise at this time of the year.
But just pushed open the door, Xu Yuan face smile will freeze, into the eyes of Song Xiucheng bare feet stepping in the snow, the feet were already bruised, and now even more by the snow frozen red, he also seems to be completely unconcerned about it, stumbling to go out.
"What are you doing?" Xu Yuan really couldn't suppress her anger this time, she cheerfully went out to find someone else to borrow rice, but Song Xiucheng ran out for no reason!
Song Xiucheng raised his head violently as soon as he heard this familiar voice, and for some reason his eyes actually turned red, which made the angry Xu Yuan soften.
Xu Yuan found an inconspicuous place to set the rice bowl down, then ran over and swept Song Xiucheng into his arms, gathering him up in his outer shirt which was of no use at all, hoping to bring Song Xiucheng a little warmth.
Song Xiucheng tugged at the corner of Xu Yuan's coat, and it was only at this time that Xu Yuan realized that he was shivering, but he didn't know whether it was because he was cold or afraid.
Xu Yuan began to reflect on his own attitude, it was so wrong just now, knowing that Song Xiucheng had already suffered so much, and he was still blaming him for a little thing.
The more he thought about it, the more guilty he felt, Xu Yuan could only reach out his hand to rub Song Xiucheng's head, and said with guilt, "I'm sorry, did I scare you just now?" Song Xiucheng buried his head in Xu Yuan's embrace, shook his head at his words, and then continued to keep quiet, his trembling body left Xu Yuan at a loss for words.
"Are you scared? I will never be mean to you again, okay? Don't cry ah...... "Xu Yuan clumsily coaxed Song Xiucheng, his heart was also very anxious. Song Xiucheng finally stopped sobbing in Xu Yuan's sentence by sentence consolation, slowly lowered his head to dry his own tears, then said: "Fang just woke up and then I didn't see Matriarch...... I thought... Matriarch didn't want me anymore."
Originally...... is it because of this? Xu Yuan suddenly felt a great heartache, even when Song Xiucheng just cried, Xu Yuan has not been so heartbroken, how insecure must this be to be like this ah, favor yourself also just on the first day of his release from prison to do this to him.
Xu Yuan only felt as if there was something stuck in her throat, making her unable to speak, only rubbing Song Xiucheng's head, the green silk was all a bit messed up from the rubbing.
"How could I leave you, Cheng remember, since I intend to treat you well, I will definitely not leave you nor let you suffer. I'll be active and progressive, and will definitely not let you follow me through the hard life again!" These meaty words were no longer awkward coming from Xu Yuan's mouth, she really couldn't see Song Xiucheng being wronged again, especially if it was the wrongs she had brought upon him.
Being held in the arms of Song Xiucheng froze, even the action of wiping tears stopped, he could not help but raise his head to look at the woman in front of him holding his own, the sunlight after the snow hit Xu Yuan body as if to give her a layer of gold, appearing to be like coming to save their own nymphs.
"I, I believe in Matriarch," Song Xiucheng boldly took Xu Yuan's hand this time, the whole person happy as a child and that careful.
Xu Yuan was so happy by Song Xiucheng's action that he was close to hugging Song Xiucheng and spinning around, and when he saw the rice bowl in the corner, he remembered what he was doing by getting up so early.
"Cheng, you came to see why I got up so early. Actually, it's just to make breakfast for you!" Xu Yuan seemed to invite Song Xiucheng to the bowl, the white rice particles were served in the bowl, each one was full and nice, Song Xiucheng also looked a little greedy.
He was seen bending down to seemingly hold the bowl up as if holding a treasure, and then smiled with his eyes arched and teardrops on his lashes.
"Tough on Matriarch, Cheng will go make congee." After saying that, he really raised his steps to go to the kitchen, if not for Xu Yuan's quick reaction, I'm afraid that the rice in the bowl will be taken by Song Xiucheng, Xu Yuan saw this and hurriedly pulled the person back.
"No, no, no, this is what I'm going to boil for you, all those days in the past were too hard for you, now I just want to be able to give you a nice surprise." Xu Yuan smiled and took the rice bowl from Song Xiucheng's hand, then pulled Song Xiucheng with his other hand and walked towards the house, even if there was sunshine outside it was still very cold, Song Xiucheng didn't have any shoes on, so it was better to go back to the house earlier.
Just after entering the house, Song Xiucheng was honestly pressed by Xu Yuan to sit back on the bed, Xu Yuan did not rush to make congee, but pulled the broken bench over and sat down, slowly holding Song Xiucheng's ankles and lifting up his feet, scrutinizing all kinds of bruises on the snow-white feet, as well as the reddish toes.
Xu Yuan looked more and more heartbroken, but Song Xiucheng red face, he several times wanted to exit to stop, but still lost to Xu Yuan's heartbroken gaze.
"Wait for me to go to mother's herbs to rummage around to see what I can rub on your feet, this will never work." Xu Yuan sighed long and lowered Song Xiucheng's feet down, raising his head to meet Song Xiucheng's simple and clear eyes, instantly feeling that many of his headaches weren't so abhorrent anymore.
Song Xiucheng nodded, and then he saw Xu Yuan standing up and taking the rice bowl and heading out, Song Xiucheng subconsciously wanted to follow him out, he knew that Xu Yuan was going to cook, but for someone who never went to the kitchen, wouldn't it really set the whole house on fire?
Song Xiucheng was uneasy in the end and cautiously followed him out, he saw Xu Yuan first surveyed around the kitchen for a while, then started to squat down to burn the fire, but was busy looking around because there was not enough firewood.
Song Xiucheng then remembered that Xu Yuan was not at home these days he did not make a fire to cook at all, so the firewood did not go to cut, finished...... Matriarch will not be angry?
Song Xiucheng was suddenly very afraid and scared, but he still took a deep breath and then headed to the kitchen, and the moment Xu Yuan saw him, Song Xiucheng didn't see impatience in her eyes, all he saw was concern and favor.
The next second Xu Yuan spoke up, she scratched her head, "Is this...... not enough firewood, it's kinda embarrassing......"
No, she, Xu Yuan, had easily boasted that she would come to cook and make congee for the surprise, and this was the result? She had to turn to Song Xiucheng for help.
Song Xiucheng didn't have the slightest intention of laughing at her, he seriously followed Xu Yuan to find some firewood in and out of the yard, and then Xu Yuan started to save face.
"Just sit on the stool now and see how your family's Matriarch makes congee!" Xu Yuan's look of confidence gave Song Xiucheng a lot of confidence as well.
Song Xiucheng looked at this arrogant Matriarch in front of him, as if he felt that those injuries on his body didn't hurt anymore, and as long as Xu Yuan could stay like this, it didn't matter how much he suffered.
There was no warmth at all inside the kitchen in this freezing cold, and the several pots seemed to have been unused for a few days, and just now even the firewood was pitifully low.
"Have you not eaten for the past few days while I was away?" Xu Yuan asked Song Xiucheng with a frown while sitting down to burn the fire, although not eating for a few days won't kill you by starvation, but Song Xiucheng is so skinny, and it's a freezing cold time of the year, how can he not eat?
Thinking so, Song Xiucheng still felt that I myself was fine, but looking at Xu Yuan's clumsy movements, he was frightened instead.
"It's fine, I'm not hungry, Matriarch...... or else should I come?" Song Xiucheng carefully weighed his words, afraid of ruining this hard to generate interest in Xu Yuan, but if it was at the risk of blowing up the kitchen, then it was better not to.
Xu Yuan, who had been highly interested in tinkering with the firewood one second, instantly wilted when he heard Song Xiucheng's words the next.
"Do you not believe me! It's not like I could have boiled the porridge......" Xu Yuan actually said the more he said the more he lost his nerve, thinking that when he and his roommate had merely made a plate of scrambled eggs following the tutorials on his cell phone, he almost burned the pan through the bottom.
Now that this rice was borrowed with great difficulty, wouldn't it be a waste if one ruined the pot? And Song Xiucheng hadn't eaten for a few days.
Thinking like this, Xu Yuan's eyes moved back to Song Xiucheng, he was long and thin, even standing in the middle of this kind of shabby kitchen he was just all bookish, Xu Yuan looked slightly mesmerized but forgot that he had already started the fire.
"Matriarch...... fire is going to sprawl out!" Song Xiucheng looked anxious and hurriedly jumped over to push the firewood toward the stove, but one did not stand still and fell into Xu Yuan s arms.
Xu Yuan instantly caught Song Xiucheng, who didn't have a few pairs of meat on his body, his heart rose with joy, and he smiled and touched his head, "Cheng is quite good at throwing himself into the arms of others."
The tips of Song Xiucheng's ears instantly reddened, and he stood up in a panic, looking at Xu Yuan who was full of smiles, shyly bowing his head straight down, and for the first time boldly urging, "Matriarch...... hurry up and watch the fire......"
Xu Yuan sniffed, but also laughed out, almost did not once again directly hold Song Xiucheng spinning in circles, the mood is good, the porridge such a thing is completely out of the question, with the heat rising, the kitchen at least sort of warm up.
"Xu Yuan! Grab the door!"
Just then, someone knocked on the door very impatiently, the two of them were instantly alert, carefully recognizing the voice of the person, Xu Yuan was afraid of being locked up in the prison, and his first reaction was to think that it was the jailer who came to arrest him again.
Xu Yuan subconsciously began to reflect on whether he had done anything wrong or offended anyone, but racked his brains and did not think of anything, Xu Yuan inclined his head to look at Song Xiucheng.
Song Xiucheng was like a frightened little rabbit, his eyes were full of alertness, only to see him firmly grabbing the corner of Xu Yuan's coat, "Matriarch......"
Xu Yuan patted his hand wanting him not to be afraid, but in fact his own heart is also very afraid, that night in the middle of the prison, what bugs and rats corpses across the side, Xu Yuan just think about it is already very difficult, if now tell her also want her to go back, then Xu Yuan is absolutely impossible to accept.
Chapter 8: Additional funeral services
"You stay here and watch the fire first, I'll go open the door." Xu Yuan earnestly handed the firewood to Song Xiucheng, while he himself took several deep breaths, and just as he got up to leave he was tugged by the corner of Song Xiucheng's coat again.
"Matriarch, what should I do if they are here to get you? Otherwise, it's better for me to open the door, Matriarch find a place to hide, and I'll tell them that Matriarch isn't there." Song Xiucheng's eyes were full of worry.
"Aren't you afraid?" Xu Yuan asked with great confusion as she held his hand.
Song Xiucheng's hand that was tugging on the corner of Xu Yuan's coat turned slightly white, he nodded his head ruthlessly, of course he was afraid, but if he still had to face an empty house without Matriarch, Song Xiucheng would rather take a gamble now.
Xu Yuan looked at his nervous little look, the fear in his heart also slightly dispersed, just raised his hand to touch Song Xiucheng's head, dotingly said: "Said I won't let you be scared again is not going to be......" Originally, Xu Yuan had to say something else to express his determination. Yuan still want to say something else to express his determination, only to hear that the person outside the door was really waiting for a long time, knocking on the door with an even ruder voice.
"This is coming!!!" Xu Yuan puts on a mean face as well, and the person knocking on the door is startled for a moment, then starts to get louder.
Xu Yuan ran over to open the door, a smile on his face, the fear in his heart having long since been comforted by Song Xiucheng, who had just been so adorable, "Coming, coming, coming, don't knock!"
The worn wooden door was pushed open, and only then did Xu Yuan see the visitor. It was actually Mayor's daughter, Ye Qing.
He saw Ye Qing with a black face, and when the door opened, he was about to enter, Xu Yuan quickly stopped him, thinking that Ye Qing had come to ask for punishment because of the matter of borrowing Jian Yuan's rice, after all, he had lied to others in the first place. Xu Yuan was a bit flustered: "Don't be like this! This rice has already been cooked, you you you can't possibly want to take the pot along with it?"
Ye Qing puzzled to look at her, understanding after a blank glance, not even willing to enter the house, stood in the snow and said: "Mother asked me to talk to you, the village people want to give Dr. Xu an additional funeral ceremony, she has agreed to start tomorrow, when we prepare to prepare a meal, you take the villagers to the grave to see on the line. "
Ye Qing between the lines with helplessness, Xu Wangyue basically did not charge the village people's medical fees during his lifetime, but also only in the time to collect some medicine money, often carrying a basket walking a long time door-to-door clinic, the village can be described as no comment, but unfortunately too much indulgence for his daughter, coupled with a small child so that the Xu Yuan has no father, the heart of the Guilt of the Xu Wangyue naturally do not want to be how strict.
Later, Xu Yuan grew crooked and became the village bully of Laiyi village, beating chickens and scolding dogs, gradually, the village people also kept people to persuade Xu Wangyue to teach them well, but in the end, Xu Wangyue has a favor to the village people, and everyone has to hold back.
Now that the person has died of illness, everyone, although they no longer hold back their distaste for Xu Yuan, still give Xu Wangyue a few moments of face; at that time, Xu Yuan hastily buried the person, and now the village is willing to take the initiative to offer to make up for the funeral, which is also considered to be a peace of mind for a change.
Xu Yuan heard this, but he was shocked, he doesn't know much now, and tomorrow he is going to take a group of people to the grave? Wouldn't it be fake if he couldn't shed a few tears himself?
Ye Qing, of course, had no idea what Xu Yuan was thinking right now, and seeing her frozen in place, thought that Xu Yuan finally had some conscience and was starting to feel sorry for her mother's death.
"You are also sorry for your loss, life and death have their own destiny." Ye Qing wasn't very good at comforting people, especially not Xu Yuan, and since the words had already been conveyed, Ye Qing turned around and left.
Xu Yuan, however, is still a little despondent, absentmindedly continued to close the door, walking back just as Song Xiucheng panicked running out, that tall and thin figure Xu Yuan saw at once, thinking of his feet are still injured, so he quickly walked a few steps to help people.
"What's wrong? Is the kitchen burning?" Xu Yuan didn't want Song Xiucheng to see it even if she was a little distracted, she was afraid that this sensitive-minded person in front of her would think too much.
Song Xiucheng, however, did not eat her, pulled Xu Yuan and started to look up and down, then looked outside to make sure no one was there before putting his heart down and inquiring in a low voice, "Matriarch, was it the magistrate who came just now? Did she give you a hard time?"
Xu Yuan laughed out, that bit of sadness was also put behind her, she pulled Song Xiucheng's arm towards the kitchen, and did not say what had just happened until she entered the kitchen, leaned against the stove fire to warm up for a while, and holding Song Xiucheng's hand felt a little bit of warmth on his body, and only then was she willing to say it.
"But just now Ye Qing came and said to me, tomorrow the village people intend to give Xu...... "Xu Yuan said here paused for a moment, almost wanted to smash his own mouth, how can he not remember? After inwardly condemning himself a number of, on Song Xiucheng clear eyes, suddenly heart weak a bit, will turn his eyes to the side of the place to continue to say: "Tomorrow the village people intend to give our mother to make up a formal funeral ceremony, Mayor know our family situation is not good, she prepared meals and so on, we need to take people to the original buried mother's place, let them do their best to make the best of it. place and just let them do their best."
Song Xiucheng after hearing this, put down the heart, but then the eyes will be red again, the village people say he is a disaster, not only the identity of the unclean, but also his own benefactor grams death......
Xu Yuan looked at Song Xiucheng who was suddenly in a low mood and just assumed that he was sad because of Xu Wangyue's death, so she planned to change the topic, she stood up and turned the pot on, the hot rice porridge looked especially delicious in the pot.
"Look how cold it is, if you don't drink it quickly, what if the rice porridge gets cold later." As he said that, Xu Yuan had already taken over the stack of clean bowls placed on the side of the stove, scooped them up with a spoon that had some small holes in it, and handed them to Song Xiucheng.
"First hold the bowl to warm your hands, put it down when you feel hot." In fact, where hot ah, this outside the freezing cold, those rice porridge once the pot began to dissipate heat, now also happens to be only a hand warmer.
Song Xiucheng but some do not dare to let Xu Yuan to serve rice, in his opinion, the woman into the kitchen is already not polite, and now eye to see their own Matriarch to serve rice, this is too......
Xu Yuan had just added a lot of rice to the first bowl, and had just ladled some rice soup for himself, and the two of them carried their respective bowls to the house and sat down at the worn out table.
"Matriarch......" Song Xiucheng is really not too comfortable with this kind of Xu Yuan, and the moment he sat down and realized the difference between the rice in their bowls, his eyes were even more sour.
Xu Yuan still felt nothing, pushing the bowl of rice more slowly towards Song Xiucheng: "Eat, after you're full we still have to go to the town to see if there's anything we need for the winter, I can see that your clothes are quite torn, surely it's not enough to protect you from the cold."
Song Xiucheng looked at her serious look and swallowed all the words he wanted to say into his stomach, silently picking up the bowl of rice porridge that symbolized Matriarch's concern and drinking it with endless warmth.
"Matriarch, will always be so good to me, right?" Song Xiucheng thought in his heart.
Chapter 9: Getting Paid
Xu Yuan watched as Song Xiucheng drank the congee and then kept holding the bowl in a daze, and the rice particles on the edge of that mouth were very abrupt.
Xu Yuan watched and then stretched out his hand and took the initiative to wipe away the rice grains at the corner of Song Xiucheng's mouth.
Song Xiucheng subconsciously dodged back until he saw the rice particles in Xu Yuan's hand, then he realized what she had just done.
He sat down on the stool, reddened slightly, and dropped his head as well, forgetting for a moment that he had to clear the dishes.
Xu Yuan, on the other hand, propped up his chin and observed the shy Consort in front of him, and the more he looked, the more he loved him in his heart. Suddenly, there were a few cries of chickens coming from outside the courtyard, which reminded Xu Yuan that he had to go out to the town to add some clothes for Song Xiucheng.
"Is the food still full? If it's not enough, I'll go borrow it again." Xu Yuan did have this intention, he himself didn't know if he could rely on Xu Wangyue's medicinal herbs for some money to come from the town this time, if not, I'm afraid that he would still have to go and borrow rice from someone.
Song Xiucheng heard this, but shook his head and gathered the bowl in his direction, "Matriarch doesn't have to, I'm full. This is going to wash the dishes......"
Song Xiucheng holding two bowls, just about to get up was hurriedly approached by Xu Yuan pressed to sit back.
"Do you know that you have different degrees of frostbite on your hands and feet, if you don't recuperate properly, I'm afraid that you won't be able to get better in the future, and every winter it will be painful and itchy, I can't bear to see you suffer like this." Xu Yuan had already seen the frostbite on Song Xiucheng's hands and feet when he was examining the injuries on his feet.
I think it must have been the original owner ordering him to wash his clothes or something in the middle of the freezing cold, which left such horrible frostbite on Song Xiucheng's white and tender hands.
Song Xiucheng sniffed, raised his own hand to carefully observe those frostbite, if not Xu Yuan mentioned it today, I am afraid that he himself does not care much.
But after seeing these frostbite, Song Xiucheng's heart is not sad, but just a touch of warmth. He was touched by Xu Yuan's words, "I can't bear to see you suffer like this."
These words were like a warm sun shining into Song Xiucheng's dark and scarred heart.
He just nodded slightly and let go of the other hand holding the dishes, and Xu Yuan was satisfied as she put them away. Going to the courtyard, she squatted on the snowy ground of the courtyard and washed herself with the icy cold river water from the wooden basin, her fingers just touched the water and she felt the piercing cold.
"Hiss......" Xu Yuan sucked in a mouthful of cool air, she had felt that her hands were already not very warm, but she did not want to still lose to the tub of ice water in front of her.
Song Xiucheng was very careful, and when he heard the sound, he immediately came out and struggled to find firewood, wanting to boil hot water for Xu Yuan.
Xu Yuan, however, voiced out to stop him, it was clear that there were only two dishes and chopsticks, so there was no need to use any hot water at all, besides, the Song Xiucheng of old often did not use a single drop of hot water to wash a large basin of clothes.
He could stand it, so why couldn't he stand it himself? Because there was little oil or water in the rice porridge, Xu Yuan simply washed the bowl in the water and took the dishes out.
Even after such a short period of time, Xu Yuan's hands were already too frozen red to bend.
Song Xiucheng had already taken a dry cloth and waited by the side, and when he saw that Xu Yuan had finished washing the dishes, he hurriedly went up to him and wrapped Xu Yuan's reddened hand with the dry cloth.
"Once upon a time it was you who suffered, in the future, I will definitely not let you suffer like this again." Xu Yuan's first thought was not how to complain to Song Xiucheng, but to sincerely stare into Song Xiucheng's eyes.
Song Xiucheng obviously stopped his movements at his words, and then straightened up and lowered his head, covering his already reddened eyes as he choked his voice and said the word uh-huh, while tears dripped down uncontrollably.
Xu Yuan did not ask him why he was crying, but took his hand, which had already warmed up somewhat, out of the dry cloth and gently stroked Song Xiucheng's head.
Only after a long time did he change the topic, "Okay, don't cry, it's going to be cold if you cry outside. Let's take some money and go to town to buy clothes, okay?"
Xu Yuan looked at Song Xiucheng's thin clothes and became uncomfortable, ask who else would wear such thin clothes in the middle of this freezing snowy day?
However, just after Xu Yuan said this, she saw Song Xiucheng's face suddenly changed, money? Before Xu Wangyue passed away, she told only Song Xiucheng where she had saved her savings, not that she didn't love this daughter, but she knew what kind of person Xu Yuan was, and was afraid that she would gamble away her savings for a few days after Xu Yuan found out about it. She knew what kind of person Xu Yuan was, and was afraid that her savings would be gambled away in a few days after Xu Yuan found out.
Now that Xu Yuan took the initiative to ask for money, Song Xiucheng eventually hesitated, and he stammered out, "Is Matriarch...... going to take the money and go to town to gamble? Can we not go gambling again......"
Song Xiucheng still had the shadow of Xu Yuan in his heart, and when he said this, he had already subconsciously stepped back, fearing that Xu Yuan would kick himself to the ground the next second.
Xu Yuan froze, the next moment, the heart of the sour will be endless over, really, Song Xiucheng still do not believe in themselves, even if I said to him more promises, but also can not withstand an ambiguous words.
Just after being heartbroken for such a short while, Xu Yuan thought about it, after all, it was the original owner who brought such a big psychological shadow to Song Xiucheng, if he could reverse Song Xiucheng's impression of himself with just a few words, wouldn't it be too simple?
Xu Yuan sighed and tried his best to make himself as calm as possible.
"Since you're worried that I won't be able to control myself, you'll be in charge of all the family's money from now on, just take out some money today, I'll wait for you at the door." After saying that, Xu Yuan did not give Song Xiucheng the chance to refute himself and scurried to the door in a puff of smoke.
As soon as I came to the door, I felt that the field of vision had opened up quite a bit, and the snow and some withered trees were standing in front of the door, and a sense of desolation rose in Xu Yuan's heart, and he slowly squatted against the door and looked at the passers-by who came and went, and those passers-by were the villagers of the Laiyi village.
And the original owner is notorious, even if those villagers saw Xu Yuan squatting in the doorway, but also ignore, and even a few bold still dare a white eye roll over, and then hurriedly run away.
Xu Yuan sighed again, all those wrongdoings that the original owner had committed, he had crossed over and not only had to pay for them, but also change their perception. Then the first step to change their opinion is not only not to be angry at these passers-by, but also to smile.
This led to the following image.
Xu Yuan squatted in the doorway, smiling like a demented woman at every villager who passed by, and those villagers would talk in low voices after leaving Xu Yuan's doorway.
"Did Xu Yuan get kicked in the head in jail?"
......
It was not that Xu Yuan did not hear it, it was just that she did not want to theorize about it anymore, she originally thought that Song Xiucheng would be able to come out soon, but she did not think that the ones surrounding her now were actually a group of small children, and Song Xiucheng still did not come out.
"You! As long as you dare to twist Bully Xu's ear, the next time you go through the house, I'll make you a mother." As a childish voice rang out, Xu Yuan looked up, it was a cute girl with pink fingers, obviously such a cute and white girl, but she was pointing at Xu Yuan and saying such words.
The person she was talking about was the only little boy amongst the group of people, the little boy looked older than all of them, but was coy. His clothes were also tattered, and his body was thin and slender, like Song Xiucheng's when he was a child.
Chapter 10: Nemesis
"But...... what if Xu Yuan gets angry and hits me?" The boy's timid voice rang out, even only daring to hide behind the girl.
Xu Yuan was also interested to hear him say this, and waited with bright eyes for the girl to answer.
Xu Yuan originally wanted to watch the show quietly, but only to see the girl is very crazy to poke his head, Xu Yuan blindfolded in place, the results of the little girl to see Xu Yuan did not react, let out a sigh of relief: "You see, my mother said, Xu Yuan out of prison after the stupid, how we bully her, she will not fight back to beat us!."
The little girl looked so righteous, just like a child king, whatever she said, a few people also began to be unafraid, they urged the boy to twist Xu Yuan's ear.
Xu Yuan finally came back to her senses, feeling that she couldn't be bullied by these brats any longer, and was just about to say something to redeem her majesty when she heard the sound of the door opening behind her.
With that, Xu Yuan just saw a silhouette standing in front of him, obviously looking soft and weak, yet his back was so firm.
"Didn't your parents teach you what it means to be polite?" Song Xiucheng had at least read books and could read a few words, but now he didn't know how to scold them, so he brought up the words that his former theater instructor had taught him.
But in the end is the people in the small mountain village, most of the people here are warm and simple, but are not good at hiding their emotions, also do not know what the tedious etiquette, hate the original owner naturally can not hide the original owner's disgust, from time to time in front of their own children to say that these are also inexcusable.
When those little children saw Song Xiucheng, not only did they not show a trace of fear, but they went even further, surrounding Song Xiucheng and laughing: "Are you the nemesis that my mother always talked about?"
Xu Yuan sniffed, face instantly cold down, usually can not afford to be mean to small children, but now directly cold scolded: "Some words should be said some words should not be said, forgive you for your age, I'm not to be taken into account, if there is a second time, I will not let go of you and your family."
Xu Yuan didn't care if those little kids could understand the meaning of the words, anyway, this tone was enough to scare those little kids to run away, Xu Yuan stared at those little kids gradually running away, and only then turned back to look at Song Xiucheng.
Song Xiucheng is in a very low mood, for Xu Wangyue's death and his own identity has been the biggest knot in his heart, and these children, relying on their own age can be free to "children's words without fear" but do not know how they have broken a person's heart.
Xu Yuan did not know how to comfort her, just put his hand on Song Xiucheng's shoulder and patted it a few times, he knew that nothing he said now could make Song Xiucheng let go of this section of the mediation on his identity, then Xu Yuan simply did not say anything, just stay with him.
I don't know how much time had passed, but the sun had slowly risen and sunlight poured down. Although there was no warmth, it was already reminding them that it was getting late.
"Matriarch...... I'm fine." Song Xiucheng had just opened his mouth when he felt his hand being firmly held by Xu Yuan, and raised his head to look at Xu Yuan, meeting eyes that were like filled with stars.
"Song Xiucheng, remember, you are my Consort, a member of our Xu family, never a nemesis." Xu Yuan's voice was light, but her tone was certain, Song Xiucheng looked at her and lost his concentration for a moment, until a few barks from the village brought him back to his senses, he also held Xu Yuan's hand back for the first time, and laughed for the first time, like a child.
"Alright, it's not too early, let's go, let's go to the town and get you some new clothes, and I'll take some of the herbs that my mother has stocked up and go see if there are any pharmacies that will buy them." Xu Yuan said so, then pushed open the door and walked straight towards one of Xu Wangyue's most exquisite large wooden box, most of the herbs inside were already dried and well preserved, Xu Yuan hadn't studied in vain at the university, and had gone up to the mountains to identify many herbs.
Now the wooden box will be opened, the strong smell of traditional Chinese medicine on the face, but let Xu Yuan feel very familiar.
It must be said that the herbs left behind by Xu Wangyue are all very practical, not rare and precious herbs, but precisely because they can be found in many for prescriptions, they are very sought after.
If this is taken to the town to sell, then certainly will not return empty-handed. It's just that if I still want to continue on the path of village doctor, I don't only need to learn from the canonical books but also need the assistance of these medicinal herbs.
Xu Yuan's brain spun rapidly and decided to bring only a small portion this time, there is always a mountain to live for.
After deciding on this big event, Xu Yuan re-locked the wooden box, kept the key close to his body, and pulled Song Xiucheng towards the town when he left the door.
"Go, go, go, buy clothes for our Cheng~"
Shopping never fails to cheer up a woman, even Xu Yuan, who has traveled to a small mountain village.
Song Xiucheng sniffed but bowed his head slightly, Matriarch this is seriously buying clothes for himself? Originally, he just thought that Xu Yuan was trying to take the money to go to the town to splurge......
Song Xiucheng felt that it was not right to think of Matriarch so much in his heart, obviously he had already said that he would treat himself well, so why did he not believe in him?
Thinking this way, he was dumbfounded for a long time, until Xu Yuan held his hand again with his other hand which made Song Xiucheng come back to his senses.
"Matriarch buys anything, actually I'm not in the way, it's better to use it to add some clothes for Matriarch, Matriarch's clothes have long been torn and worn out......" Song Xiucheng this is not false The original owner's blessing, Xu Yuan's clothes are almost all torn because of fights with other people and poor, Xu Wangyue is a woman who has never done needlework, so Song Xiucheng has been sewing for the Xu family mother and daughter.
Xu Yuan sniffed and looked at the worn out cotton jacket he was wearing, and when he thought of the tattered clothes and the shabby house he was living in, he felt a deep sense of powerlessness come over him, since he didn't have much savings, he must save them, but Song Xiucheng had already suffered all those pains in the past, and he wouldn't be freezing to death if he could find a job outside.
"It's fine, you don't have to worry about that la, first I'll get you some good new clothes, although these clothes of mine are worn out, wearing a few layers won't bother me at all." After that, Xu Yuan began to try to change the topic, pulling Song Xiucheng to discuss the scenery along the way, asking him if he was tired, and asking if there was anything he needed at home.
The naive and cute Song Xiucheng really followed Xu Yuan's topic, lifting up the handle to seriously think about what he still needed at home.
In this way, the originally long and arduous journey was shortened as if by this method, and the duo's side reached the town in time for midday.
Unfortunately, just after arriving in town, Xu Yuan feels like his eyes are gone.
Almost blinded by......!!!!
