son-in-law

Chapter 568 Lonely Paradise, Madman's Eden
In the room, Hongti held Fu Duanyun's hand, and the sisters generally spoke in a low voice. Many times, they couldn't help but talk about the issue of "Xiang Gong".Hongti did not deny it, and followed her words.

After a while, Ning Yi moved the roasted beggar chicken out of the next room. Apart from the beggar chicken, this time he came to Lu Liang, he also had a few cans of fruit in his package, and he also took them out for dinner.Three people - two in normal clothes, one still stinks, just sat at the table and ate.

In the topic at the dinner table, Ning Yi found that Fu Duanyun's thinking was normal in some respects. As for the current situation of the village and herself, it is no longer clear.She can also tell what happened "yesterday" in every household in the village. It seems that today, everyone goes out for some things, and occasionally talks about what her mother-in-law asked her to do...

She didn't notice the abnormality in her body, whether it was blind eyes or missing teeth, or the filth and stench caused by urinating on her body.Only physical feelings can't deceive people. She was obviously very hungry, and she couldn't help eating quickly. Sometimes she almost choked. She smiled awkwardly at the two of them, and then said to Ning Yi and Hongti that it was delicious.When asked where is this good thing, Ning Yi and Hongti said that Jiang Ning brought it here.

After eating and the sun hadn't set yet, Fu Duanyun chatted with them about the situation in the village for a while, then said goodbye and went back. Don't be wronged by the new uncle. If there is something missing at home, go to her home to get it.The two watched her walk to a house at the other end of the village.

Since I didn't take a closer look before, I just found out that only the far room in the whole village is good, and it seems that it has been repaired in the past few years.Hong Ti led him over to take a look. Everything in the room was quite dirty, but it looked like it had been tidied up to a certain extent. The tattered quilt on the bed was also neatly folded, probably because Hong Ti came over to make it. There is a bag on the side, which is also a dry food bag from Hongti.

"She lives alone," said Hong Ti.

Ning Yi nodded and shook her hand.

Because of this incident, Hongti's mood was not high. When the two walked out of the village, they saw Fu Duanyun walking to the edge of the village and looking towards the east on the edge of the woods and under the hillside in the distance.

Then she sat there, as if waiting for someone to come back.

"Sister Duanyun is only four years older than me." Taking a breath, Hongti said this and smiled, but then she also realized that the emotion of laughter may not be suitable for this place, "Liheng, you should have guessed, her husband She and her mother-in-law both died. Xianggong died first. There was a famine that year, and there was a famine. She was fighting for food everywhere. She died to protect the village. When she came back from outside with the master, she was actually crazy."

"Yeah." Ning Yi replied in a low voice.

Hongti paused for a long time: "After she went crazy, she still respected her mother-in-law very much, farming, doing things, doing laundry, cooking, and serving the elderly. At that time, she would still take care of herself, but she felt that... Xianggong was going to Fenyang. Well, I just went out the day before. Sometimes, we think it's okay for her to be like this... Then in the past two years, a lot of things happened, and the village couldn't keep up, and then it broke down. Everyone went to Qingmu Village. When she died, Sister Duanyun and her mother-in-law, I always thought they died in the chaos, until I came back a few years later and found that she lived here alone..."

"Why... didn't you bring her back to the stockade?"

"I can't bring it back." Hongti sat down on the grass here with his legs together, looking at the figure over there, "When you bring it back, it will break out, like you're going to die, hit your head against a pillar and bite your own. Tongue. She has always remembered this place, saying that her husband and mother-in-law went out and told her to wait here for them to come back. She could only live here. Actually...Sister Duanyun used to be very beautiful. When the bandits came over, her mother-in-law died. She didn't die, and what those people did to her later, I can also imagine, she became like this later... Later she became like this..."

Hongti's eyes narrowed, and her eyes became sharp: "She can still do a lot of things! Doing housework, washing clothes, farming, in fact, she can. She planted a very small piece of land over there, and there is still a harvest. This kind of appearance is her own intention. She forgot a lot of things, but remembers them subconsciously, because of her appearance, those bandits will not touch her... Sometimes her land is half planted, It will be ruined by people from the neighborhood, so she will plant new ones. I sometimes come to see and give her something. If someone ruins the land, I will go to the neighborhood to find someone, and sometimes I can find it. , Sometimes I can't find it... Once I came here a little late, and a group of people passing by took away a little bit of food from her family, and there was no harvest in the field, and Sister Duanyun was already hungry. For four or five days, I don't know why she was still alive at that time..."

"..." Ning Yi looked at the crazy woman under the sunset in the distance.

"There is also a good thing... A few years ago, about three or four years ago, a lame man who passed by here wanted to settle down. Sister Duanyun was a lunatic, but he seemed to... fancy her. He stayed in the village. , He still takes care of Sister Duanyun very much, and I watched it secretly for a while. But Sister Duanyun knows people and usually greets and speaks to him very well. She doesn't allow the lame man to go to her bed. Every once in a while, the cripple couldn't take it anymore, so he used force on her. Sister Duanyun was like she was dead... The next day, I forgot about it and said hello. In fact, I think that someone takes care of her. good……"

Ning Yi almost didn't want to ask, but he still asked in a low voice, "Where's the lame man?"

"They have been together for two years." Hongti said calmly, "Then one day, when I passed by, the cripple had already been killed, and a... a guy who escaped from the Liao Kingdom lived here temporarily. It may have passed the For several days, when Sister Duanyun didn't seem so old, I saw... I saw him dragging Sister Duanyun to the stream to wash her clean. Sister Duanyun kept struggling, she tied her When she got up, Sister Duanyun hit the ground with her head, her teeth had already been knocked out, and her eyes were also blinded... In fact, when the cripple used force on her, she never did this..."

She didn't go on about it, or what happened to the guy.It only took a while before he let out a sigh of relief: "But I can only come here once in a while to deliver something... This place is very messy, and it is not suitable for a foothold. If you send someone to take care of Sister Duanyun, it may be Other people will die for Sister Duanyun. Sister Duanyun...she shouldn't live long, I don't know if I want to see her die and seek relief, or continue to live like this. Actually When we look at her, we may feel that she is very pitiful, but who knows if she is much happier now than when she was awake. No matter how difficult it is, she will forget it the next day..."

"Liheng..." She smiled and said to Ning Yi who was sitting next to her, "I don't want to tell you these things, Lu Liangshan is like this, he has already said it, you know it, but these things I don't want to say too much, after knowing too much, you will always be unhappy. And... you will... um..."

She pondered for a while, and didn't say what she said. After a while, she said: "Actually, I grew up here. People in the mountains have survived like this. I'm used to seeing everything, it's nothing..." She said, "Ning Liheng, I teach you martial arts, I am your master, at this time you treat me as your master, okay?"

When she said these words, her face became slightly serious.When Ning Yi first met her, she was so serious and cold, but after gradually getting in touch with her, she became warmer. She saw Lu Hongti again who seemed to be wary in the small courtyard. She held her sword and sat there, looking into the distance.

However, she didn't really resist Ning Yi. For many years in the mountains, people came here like this, and she was really... used to seeing everything, that kind of seeing is extremely distorted, and it is really very common. , creating a sense of distance that is out of place.The coldness on her face didn't even look like arrogance. It was neither sad nor strong, unwilling to refuse, but unable to be kind.Only at this moment, she really looks like a clumsy mountain girl...

……

"Well." Ning Yi nodded, "You are the master." He said, and stretched out his hand.

……

"I'm your master..."

Hongti closed her eyes and said softly, but Ning Yi wrapped her arms around her, making her body lean into his arms.

"Well, you are the master," he repeated.

"Sigh..." The female master who was hugging the ancient sword sighed softly, her face still had a protective look of coldness, but she couldn't break free from his embrace, so she just let Ning Yi hug him on the grass, and after a while, Quietly as if asleep.

……

"Go back to work." After a long time, Ning Yi said.

"Ok?"

"I have seen what I should see, although... this is really not what I want to see, but it is a good thing to be able to see it. After seeing it, it is time to go back to work." He sighed.

After a while, when Ning Yi and Hongti rode away, the figure on the hillside stood up and waved to them.The waving action seemed so normal, as if he had never experienced any bad luck.

They held hands and the horse walked slowly on the hillside.

As the sun sets in the west, even Luliang Mountain becomes gentle and magnificent under such a setting sun.

And a step forward, it should be the iron horse Jin Ge, and Mandao Xiongguan.

This day is the summer of Jinghan's 12th year, April [-]th.In the unremarkable days, I saw unremarkable people and things...

**************
When I woke up in the morning, I felt that the wind was very comfortable. After the wind was refreshing, I went to pick up water and wash my clothes. The village was a little deserted. It was because of the nearby market, many people went out.I heard Runxing's dog barking. That mad dog is always barking. Sooner or later, I'll throw a stone and lame it, but I took the stone and waited at the door for a long time, and I don't know where the dog went.

In the morning, Uncle Shunyi came to the door and borrowed a plane from my house, probably because the house was installing a door.I don't really want to talk to him, he has a big mouth, he's in his 40s, he spends all day talking nonsense to the old women in the village, and on my wedding night, those bridal chamber troublemakers made me cry with embarrassment, but Youcheng said that he is a good person.Forget it, after a while I should be able to talk nonsense outside like those women.I found a plane at home and gave it to Uncle Shunyi, and he left. He didn't say anything this time, it's okay, otherwise I don't know how to answer.

In the afternoon, a good thing happened. Hong Ti came back. She seemed to be learning art from her master.Her husband is from Jiangning. She brought a lot of good things with her. Unfortunately, everyone went out. She couldn't go to a few houses if she wanted to stop by. I told her that Youcheng and her mother-in-law went to Fenyang. The others went to the market. Maybe she will come back tomorrow. , you can see it all, and Youcheng and her mother-in-law will be very happy to see her and her husband.I still remember when we were hungry together when we were kids.

After dinner, I went to the entrance of the village to see them off. The sun is approaching at night, and this year will be a good year.In fact, since he came here when he was a child, it seems that he has never been hungry. Now Hongti is married to a good family. Lu Liangshan's years are getting better every year.

In fact, when I went to the entrance of the village, I also wanted to see the people who came back to the village. I don't know why today, they still haven't come back so late.If you walk at night, there are wolves in the mountains, so don't be alone. You can stay outside with your mother-in-law for one night.It's just a family alone, I feel a little deserted.

Youcheng, mother-in-law, when are you coming back...

　Personally, I think you can listen to Sodagreen's "Story" when reading this chapter.
