Mu Zhiqiu

Chapter 65

The two walked to the gate of the courtyard, and behind a thick wooden fence, there was a half-closed wooden door.Lin Muchuan took Ziqiu's hand across the fence and slipped into the garden.

The first thing that catches the eye is a pavilion in the middle of the garden. The path paved with cobblestones along the gate can lead directly to the pavilion.

The pavilion is surrounded by lotus ponds, and there are many fish swimming in the ponds.At the end of the cobblestone path at the other end of the gazebo, there are two flower beds respectively. Behind the flower beds is a two-story exquisite antique building.

The whole garden is surrounded by a circular wall, which is covered with green plants and interspersed with blooming roses.The corner of the wall is surrounded by a path of bluestone slabs. Beside the road are pine and cypresses, roses, roses, chrysanthemums, and various flowers are planted according to the seasons they open.Next to the lotus pond are a few small vegetable gardens, which are planted with shallots, garlic sprouts, green vegetables and so on.

"Wake up! Wake up!" Lin Muchuan looked at the dumbfounded Ziqiu, and shook her quickly.

"what happened?"

"You are too involved when you see it! It makes me have goosebumps all over my body, and I am afraid that your soul will go out of your body."

"To die among flowers is to be a ghost." Ziqiu said with a chuckle.

"Hey, your IQ is flawed!" Lin Muchuan patted her on the head.

"It's so fragrant!" Ziqiu held a delicate and beautiful rose in his palm, put his face close to it, smelled it deeply, and said intoxicated.

Lin Muchuan looked at her so happy and smiled so sweetly.Finally, he lived up to the ups and downs of this period of time.

Ziqiu, I will make you happy! I hope I can guard behind you, Lin Muchuan said silently in his heart.

"Lin Muchuan, come quickly!" Ziqiu looked at him from among the flowers, her smile was so cute and brilliant.How lucky I would be if I could stay by your side and watch your smile every moment.

"Old man!" Lin Muchuan looked at a figure standing beside the wooden house deep in the garden. He knew it was the owner, so he ran over to say hello.

"Hello, Uncle!"

"you are?"

"The person who came to see the flowers last time!"

"I won't buy this flower!"

"I'm here to take a look this time!"

"Then you can pass by!" The old man stood in front of the wooden house with a cane, looking down the mountain.His deep eyes passed through the sea of ​​flowers, slid across the valley, crossed the river, and drifted to a certain place.

Lin Muchuan looked at him with a look that seemed very familiar, having seen him there before.Looking at the chic wooden house behind him, I thought to myself, if I get old, it would be a rare blessing to be able to live in such a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters and no one to bother me.

"Even the house is so beautiful!" Ziqiu came running, looked at the house in front of him, and said with emotion.

"This old man did it all!" Lin Muchuan said.

"Are those flowers too?" she asked doubtfully.He couldn't help but carefully looked at the old man in front of him. Although he was wearing coarse cloth clothes, he was clean and tidy, with many patches carefully sewn on it.Although he is tall, he is very thin, but his body looks relatively strong.It's just that he seems to be missing a left leg, and the empty trouser leg is trembling in the wind, and the wooden crutch that is held tightly under the palm of his hand and is firmly propped on the ground has been worn white.He stood there motionless, staring down the mountain.

Ziqiu felt sorry for the old man.A person guards the deep mountain alone, guarding this beautiful sea of ​​flowers and this simple but exquisite wooden house.From his eyes, he felt that he was watching something, or looking forward to it.

Even so, she thought it was a miracle that they could be created.It takes a lot of courage, a lot of heartache, and a lot of hard work to do it.Ziqiu had to look at the white-haired old man in front of him differently.

"You are..." Hearing the girl's voice, the old man suddenly recovered and turned to look at her.

"Me?" Ziqiu looked at Lin Muchuan beside him, and at the old man, realizing that he was talking to her.

"My name is Xia Ziqiu! Hello, old man!" Ziqiu said with a smile.

The old man kept looking at her, Ziqiu was a little puzzled, did he know me?

"Oh!" The old man hurriedly turned around and walked into the house.

"Old man, can I have a look at your house?" Ziqiu asked curiously, she really wanted to see what the inside of the wooden house looked like.

"Go home, it's getting dark!" the old man finished and closed the door.He stood behind the door, trembling all over, so much alike, so much alike!Although he had never seen Xia Ziqiu up close, when he heard that her name was the same as his daughter's, could it be that she was my daughter.Thinking of this, he burst into tears, and he felt sorry for Manyun, and even more sorry for the child.

Time flies, think back to what happened 25 years ago.

After graduation, he was assigned to teach in a small town thousands of miles away from home, and he happened to meet Zhou Manyue.When he saw her for the first time, he just stayed there in a daze, as if he had seen her somewhere before.His fiery eyes made Zhou Manyue walk away blushing.

He began to look for opportunities to approach her, thinking that she was the one he was looking for in his life.Slowly, Wang Manyun was moved by him.In fact, it can't be moved, because the first time she saw him, she also fell in love with him.After getting along for half a year, the two reached the point of discussing marriage.

"Manyue, wait for me, I'll marry you when I get back home!" These were the last words he said to her when he left this small town.

For this sentence, she waited all her life.

After he returned home, in order to earn more money in a short time and marry her well, he went to the mine with the villagers, but an accident happened and his left leg was broken.

Since then, he has been desperate and thought about death.But for the sake of his parents, he had to survive.But he thinks that he has no way to give her a happy life, nor is he able to give her.Therefore, he made up his mind not to go back and marry her.

He began to learn the craft and learned carpentry from a carpenter.He is eager to learn and smart, and within a few years he became a teacher and worked on his own. Later, the furniture industry became better and better, and his business became bigger and bigger.It's just that he was always worried about her, not knowing how she was doing now.As long as I live, I still miss and want to see her.

Ten years ago, he always had the same dream, dreaming that she was crying, shouting, calling his name.But he couldn't find her anyway, only heard her mournful cry.He ran!run!Searching all over the mountains and plains!But I can't find it anywhere!

When he was in despair, he heard her say: "Wait for me, I will marry you when I get back!" "Wait for me! I will come back to marry you!" "Wait for me!" "I will marry you!"

He turned around and saw her fall down slowly, but he couldn't catch her hand no matter what.she died!Is it right?really dead!Watching the beloved woman die!He cried in his dream, so sad, so desperate, as if his life was being torn and dragged to another world.

He woke himself up crying, yes, he was still crying when he woke up.Touching the soaked pillow, he couldn't calm down.It's time to face it, no matter what, it's only good to see her well.So he handed over all the things in his hand to his brothers and sisters, and came to this place by himself.

When he came, he secretly inquired about her and knew that she was not married, but had a child.He had seen her take the child home, so quiet and intimate.He couldn't bear to break it, and he didn't know how to make up for the lack of so many years.

He secretly hid where she couldn't see.He knew that she loved flowers and wanted to build a beautiful garden for them both in his lifetime.So he chose to stay here, bought a large forest on the mountain, and built a big garden that she liked.He also built a cozy home.In my lifetime, I hope she can see it.

But today, he actually saw Ziqiu, and he was very happy.In the past, I always secretly looked at the back, watched from a distance, and dared not move forward.

Yes, Ziqiu is already 25 years old.

Suddenly he felt dizzy for a while, his eyes turned black, and he fainted to the ground.

"Why is it so strange!" Ziqiu said to Lin Muchuan.

"It's okay, people who live alone are not used to being disturbed!"

"What a pity! But if my mother sees such a big garden, she will be very happy." Ziqiu said happily, looking at the flowers all over her eyes.

"Ziqiu, don't you think that you look a lot like that old man?" Lin Muchuan said looking at Ziqiu's face.

"What? Eh!" Ziqiu was stunned.

"I said..." Lin Muchuan was thinking about explaining when he saw Ziqiu knocking on the door.

"Old man, open the door, open the door!" Ziqiu hurriedly knocked on the door.

"Nobody said anything!"

"Is nothing going to happen?" Lin Muchuan pushed hard, but the door was unlocked and pushed open.

"Old man!" Ziqiu found the old man lying behind the door. He closed his eyes tightly and did not respond.

"How to do?"

"Hurry up and go down the mountain!"

Ziqiu and Lin Muchuan supported the old man, leaning on the chair, and then Lin Muchuan quickly walked down the mountain with his back on his back.

"Be careful!" Ziqiu closed the old man's door and followed closely behind.

Along the way, Lin Muchuan never stopped.

"I'll go to the hospital in the ancient town by bicycle to get a number first!" Ziqiu said anxiously when he arrived at the place where the bicycles were kept.

"No! The slope is so steep and dangerous, so take a small path." Lin Muchuan said.

"There is still a path!"

"go!"

About ten minutes later, the two arrived at the hospital in the ancient town.

"Doctor, the old man fainted and unconscious, let's find out why!" Lin Muchuan looked at the doctor anxiously.

"Hurry up to the emergency room."

"it is good!"

"Go out first!" The nurse came out and stopped him.

Lin Muchuan pulled Ziqiu to the corridor.

"Is something going to happen?

"No!" Lin Muchuan comforted the nervous Ziqiu.

After a while, the doctor came out.

"How about it?"

"High blood pressure, emotional agitation, and high blood lipids. Pay more attention to diet and need more rest. You can stay in the hospital for observation for a few days!" said the doctor.

"Thank you, doctor!" Ziqiu and Lin Mumu said quickly.

"You go home, I am here to guard the old man!" Lin Muchuan said looking at Ziqiu.

"Then, should I tell mom?"

"Ziqiu, in fact, I talked with the old man last time I went."

"What are you talking about?"

"Maybe he really is the one your mother is looking for!"

"My dad!"

"En!" Lin Muchuan nodded vigorously.

Ziqiu stared blankly at Lin Muchuan, at a loss, it was so sudden, Ziqiu didn't expect it.When she heard him say that she was like him, she was thinking, no way, my father should be living a very happy life!Not so lonely, poor, hiding in the col, so old and haggard.She would rather have him live happily than see him so lonely.

Ziqiu's heart was bleeding, and she couldn't help shaking, crying silently.Lin Muchuan hugged her into his arms, and she held onto his clothes tightly, crying hard. For more than 20 years, the father I saw for the first time had imagined countless scenes in my dreams, how could this be the case.

"I'll go back first and tell mom!"

"Then be careful on the road!"

"Yeah!" Ziqiu went out and left by car.

Looking at her back, Lin Muchuan felt distressed.He didn't have time to think about it, so he hurried to the ward to see the old man.
