"I'm sorry, girl, you bought so many umbrellas and went back, you horse is going to suffer."
Granny Zhong's voice was apologetic.
"That's fine, it's just" Jiang Xixi was halfway through her words, she suddenly paused, she looked at the mountain bag on the south side of the road, and looked back at the three of them, "You guys are called Bulaotun here?"
” "The people here moved to the city intermittently more than ten years ago, and few people know the name of Bulaotun now, but the girl is well-informed, is there any old knowledge here?"
Zhang Rui said.
Jiang Xixi smiled, "No, I've just heard people talk about it here occasionally, I'll say goodbye first, if there is a fate, I'll see you again in the future."
She saluted, jumped on her horse, and galloped away.
Zhang Rui looked at his mother, "Mother, this girl looks like a person from the government, I don't know what to do here?"
” Aunt Zhang shook her head, "Let's sit up straight, even if it is a person from the government, what is there to be afraid of."
When she saw Granny Zhong put on the bamboo basket and walked towards the path again, she beckoned, "Do you still want to go out?"
” Granny Zhong staggered along the stone road as if she hadn't heard it, and after a while, the kung fu man shrank into a small back.
"Mother-in-law looks like she has lost her soul, obviously it was quite normal just now."
Zhang Rui was puzzled.
"People are old, and their ears are not so good," Aunt Zhang sighed, "By the way, you take out my pickled bacon and send it to her when your mother-in-law comes back, she is lonely, we don't take care of her more, I really don't know how she will live." ” Zhang Rui nodded, "I know, I'll go get it," he said and walked towards the vegetable kiln, took two steps but froze, "By the way, mother, I seemed to hear a voice in the ground last night, did you hear it?"
” "I slept well last night, but I didn't hear anything, could it be a mouse?"
Zhang Rui shook his head, "That sound came from underground, it seemed to be the sound of soil stirring, and rats couldn't make such a big movement." ” "Then you didn't go out to have a look?"
"Of course I watched, but when I went out, the sound disappeared, and I walked around the vegetable garden a few times and didn't hear anything."
Zhang Rui was puzzled.
Aunt Zhang comforted him, "Since there is no one, forget it, you will hear it for a while." ” Zhang Rui nodded, then bit his lip lightly, "Mother, the matter of the girl who gave birth to you" Aunt Zhang shook her head and smiled, "If you like her, I will go to the city today to buy some gifts, let the matchmaker send them to her family, and then carefully listen to the meaning of the girl's family, and strive to settle the marriage as soon as possible, do you think it's okay?"
” Zhang Rui blushed and didn't speak, just nodded desperately.
The two patronized and chatted about Junsheng's affairs, but they didn't notice that a slender figure was slowly walking towards them from the path in front of the door, the man walked to the front of the courtyard, leaned against the fence, and his voice was as crisp as a silver bell, "I've bothered the two of you, I've walked such a long way, my mouth is dry, I don't know if I can ask for a cup of tea." ” Zhang Rui turned his head, a pair of sparkling eyes first appeared in his eyes, and then he looked over, only to see a woman in Tsing Yi standing in front of her, her eyebrows were slightly raised, the corners of her mouth were raised, and she looked at their mother and son with a smile.
Zhang Rui agreed, went into the house and came out with a glass of water, but he thought in his heart that there was no figure in Bulaotun on weekdays, so why did people visit one after another today.
He handed the water to the woman and asked with a smile, "Girl, would you like to come and sit in the house and rest your feet?"
” The woman was not polite, and immediately walked to the door, "It's okay, I've been on the road for a long time, and my legs are really stiff and sore, and I'm looking for a place to rest." ” Zhang Rui opened the courtyard door, welcomed her in, and as his mother said, he went to the house and took some fruit out and put it on the stone table for the woman to enjoy.
"Girl, where are you going?"
Aunt Zhang asked with a smile while sewing clothes.
The woman took a bite of the fruit, "My name is Yan Niang, I went out with my female companions to enjoy the flowers today, I don't want to be separated from them, and I don't know the direction, so I came here unconsciously." ” "Girl, don't worry, this is not far from Xin'an City, in a while, I just want to go to the city to buy some things, just take the girl over by the way."
"Auntie is so good, Yan Niang has thanked me here."
She rolled her eyes and turned her words, "Auntie, don't you know if there is a cemetery around here?"
” Aunt Zhang's hand for stitching stopped moving, she raised her head with a hint of doubt in her eyes, "Why does the girl ask that?"
” Yan Niang smiled, "I have an elder who seems to be buried not far from here, but the family has been here a few times, saying that they can't find his tomb, and since I arrived here today, I asked casually, hoping that I didn't offend you." ” Hearing her say this, Aunt Zhang began to sew stitches again, "It's not offensive, it's just that I've lived here for so many years, and I've never heard of a cemetery nearby, and when the people in Tunli haven't moved out, they all place the ancestral grave behind the mountain, because the feng shui is good there."
Here, there is really no grave, not even a lonely grave, I don't know if the girl's family remembers the wrong place. ” Yan Niang nodded, "Yes, I really didn't see the cemetery all the way, I think the family remembered it wrong."
She saw that Zhang Rui was hoeing the ground, so she stood up and walked to him, "This dish is really beautiful." ” Zhang Rui wiped his sweat, "I want to study, usually my mother is taking care of them, my mother is diligent, and there is a lot of fertilizer and watering at all, so they are girls, what are you doing?"
I have just poured this soil on it, so don't stain your hands. ” Yan Niang squatted on the ground, put a handful of dirt under her fingers, put it under her nose and sniffed it carefully, and when she heard Zhang Rui calling herself, she just stood up, but there was something more in her eyes than just now, "Big brother, have you and your mother always lived here?"
” Zhang Rui was stunned by her question, but he still replied honestly, "Yes, I was born and raised here, and I have never left home except for going to Bianliang for scientific research."
Girl, what do you ask for?
” Yan Niang stared at him for a while, and her eyes turned into two arcs again, "It's nothing, I thought this place was very desolate, so I asked casually." ” Zhang Rui nodded, wanting to ask a few more questions, but Aunt Zhang stepped forward to interrupt him, "Girl, let's go to the city, it's not too early, I can go out and come back before dark." ” "It's all up to you."
Yan Niang nodded, saluted Zhang Rui again, and walked out behind Aunt Zhang.
Zhang Rui looked at the backs of the two, and became irritable for some reason, and a bad premonition spread along the blood flow to the whole body.
However, Jun Sheng's shadow fell from the sky again, and fell into his head with a clang, and her appearance helped him dispel the trace of trouble, and made his heart warm again.
