The two of them walked one behind the other on the small road in Nahuifang.
Ruyi paused for a moment and looked at the puddle accumulated on the roadside, with her own image printed in it.
There were already wrinkles on her face, most obvious at the corners of her eyes. She looked down at her hands, which were covered with calluses and were no longer as moist as before.
She sighed softly and came to her senses.
Dong Chiyu paused, stood beside her, and looked at her quietly.
Ruyi looked at her, stared at her for a long time and said, "My mother has been urging me to get married recently. Should I really find someone to marry?"
Dong Chiyu didn't expect her words to be shocking, so he was stunned and said, "Don't you don't want to?"
Ruyi pursed her lips and said, "I don't want to come..."
But she sighed again and said: "Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore, let's go back."
Ruyi took two steps forward.
But Dong Chiyu was not seen following him.
Ruyi paused, looked back at her and said, "Let's go."
Dong Chiyu spoke, hesitated for a moment, and finally said it.
"You act like a pussy."
These words didn't look like they came out of her mouth.
Most likely I learned Ruyi.
Ruyi was stunned when she heard this and returned it to her.
She didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Why do I look like a girl?"
Dong Chiyu looked at her and said, "You want to get married."
"I do not want."
"That's what you thought."
"I don't."
"Really do not have?"
"..."
Ruyi fell silent. To be honest, she really couldn't help Dong Chiyu keep asking like this. She knew Dong Chiyu too well. This slender head knew what was going on and would keep asking until he found out why. .
"Don't ask, I'm convinced..."
Ruyi sighed and said, "My mother is old and should have been the mother-in-law. But neither of us, my sister and my brother, could follow my mother's wishes."
She pursed her lips and said, "I just don't want my mother to have any regrets."
After saying that, Ruyi raised her head, took a deep breath, and continued: "Doctor Tong said that my mother's body is not as good as before, and her remaining life is only between two and three years. She doesn't have long left." .”
Dong Chiyu was startled when he heard this, "Godmother, she..."
Ruyi stepped forward, patted her shoulder and said, "Don't be too sad, everyone is destined to die."
Dong Chiyu shook his head, as if something was about to be shattered in his heart.
Her eyes were a little dazed, and she couldn't believe what she heard.
Dong Chiyu looked at Ruyi fiercely and said, "You have a way, right? Isn't your uncle a god? He must have a way, right?"
Ruyi said: "Doctor Tong was taught by Uncle Chen. He also has a way. I asked my mother, but she didn't want to. As people get older, they become more afraid, not of death, but of going to the end. , the one who walks to the back is the most painful..."
"Mother, she has already underestimated some things."
Dong Chiyu shook his head and said: "I don't understand, I don't understand."
She breathed a sigh of relief, but her eyes were red.
Ruyi said: "You are still young, of course you don't understand."
After a pause, Ruyi also said something that Uncle Zeng seemed to be saying "perfunctorily".
"You will understand later."
Ruyi said this. At first, she only thought that Uncle Chen was deceiving her by saying this. Now, looking at it, it is indeed the case.
Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief and said: "There is something written in a book that my uncle once read. As a common man, you should not seek immortality. I didn't understand it when I first read it, but slowly, I also understood this sentence. We are all The common people in this mortal world are not like the immortal immortals who do not eat fireworks. Ordinary people should not live for a long time. It is tragic and even painful. Let nature take its course and life and death as it comes, is the best way."
Dong Chiyu took a deep breath and reached out to wipe away his tears.
The godmother treats her very well.
She didn't forget anything good in her daily life, and she also had everything she wanted. Even if they were eating at the same table, the two most delicious legs of a roast chicken were given to the two of them.
Now that he heard the words 'life is approaching', Dong Chiyu couldn't help but feel a little broken.
After many years, she once again experienced what it was like to have a loved one, but it was so short-lived, which made her heart sad.
Ruyi stepped forward and hugged her.
"Don't cry, don't cry..."
She didn't know how to comfort her. Seeing Dong Chiyu cry, Ruyi, who had cried many times, felt like crying now.
…
Wang Sanniang came back when she saw the two girls came back with red eyes.
He was immediately startled and said, "Oh, who bullied you two? Why are your eyes so red? Have you cried?"
"what's up?"
Wang Sanniang was a little at a loss, so she quickly stepped forward and pulled the two girls to sit down.
"Mother."
"Godmother."
Wang Sanniang looked at the two girls in front of her and couldn't help feeling a little distressed. She wiped their tears and then asked what happened.
But the two girls didn't say anything and seemed very calm.
Wang Sanniang was a little angry and scolded: "You two are really hiding this from your mother now?"
Dong Chiyu lowered his head and Ruyi said nothing.
Wang Sanniang snorted softly, then stood up and said, "If you don't want to talk about it, don't talk about it. Don't even eat tonight."
The food was served.
Wang Sanniang sat with her uncle, while Ruyi and Dong Chiyu stood aside.
The civet flowers were all on the table, but they were the only ones still standing.
After all, Wang Sanniang just said that, but she didn't really stop them from eating.
"Okay, okay, Mom can still make you hungry, come here and sit down to eat."
"oh……"
The two of them then stepped forward and sat down.
Lihua took a bite of her food, looked at Ruyi, and asked, "What did you do?"
"Shut up Cihua."
"..."
Wang Sanniang sandwiched two pieces of meat with three layers of meat and placed them in the bowls of the two girls.
"Eat more, eat more. You two are practicing martial arts. It's okay if you don't eat enough."
Dong Chiyu looked at the meat in the bowl, and the taste became even more unpleasant.
"Godmother..."
As I was thinking about it, I shed a few tears into the bowl.
Wang Sanniang couldn't help but see the girl crying, and she immediately became anxious.
"My girl, why are you crying? Why are you crying..."
Wang Sanniang stepped forward and hugged her, and asked quickly.
"What's going on?"
Originally Ruyi had agreed with her not to mention it when she got home, but when Dong Chiyu arrived, she couldn't help it.
Dong Chiyu said with a cry: "Godmother, can you please not leave..."
Wang Sanniang understood immediately after hearing this.
She turned her head and glanced at Ruyi.
Ruyi lowered her head with a guilty conscience.
Mother had ordered not to let Dong Chiyu know this, also because Dong Chiyu had a bad background and was afraid that she would be too sad.
Wang Sanniang hugged Dong Chiyu, patted her back, and said: "Okay, okay, mother, don't leave. Mother, isn't she here? What are you talking about? Don't go, don't go. Why are you leaving? Where can you go?" go……"
Wang Sanniang spoke slowly.
Dong Chiyu couldn't help but think of his late mother. Her godmother's voice was just like her mother's, slow, slightly hoarse, but so soft.
As she listened, she cried more and more.
