[Rebirth] Deep house raising dumplings

The prayer flags were rolling, and Wan Xiang imitated Yin Dang's appearance and fell down in front of the solemn or amiable Buddha statue, touching her forehead to the ground, flipping her hands lightly, and then closing them together.

Next to it was a couple who came to ask for a child. They seemed to be very loving. The wife held the lottery tube tightly, and said every word, devoutly and fearfully.There are also young girls who come together, their faces are like clouds, their eyes are slightly closed, praying to meet their wishful husband as soon as possible.

In front of the slightly rough and mottled golden Buddha statues, all kinds of living beings made their deep wishes.

Xi Wanxiang knelt down on the futon, waited for a while, but she didn't see anything from her cousin, she turned her head curiously, and saw her peaceful appearance through her fingers.She was as humble as everyone else, but calmer than anyone else. She just kowtowed silently in front of the Buddha statue without even moving her lips.

Wanxiang stared blankly, the smell of sesame oil mixed with the sound of the wind blowing the prayer flags, and the smoke of the coiled incense lingered in the somewhat crowded Songzi Niangniang Temple, only the calm and jade-like face of the sister-in-law made the restless The air froze.

After crossing the high threshold, Xi Wanxiang couldn't hold back her curiosity, and asked Yin Tang: "Sister-in-law, just now I saw you kneeling so earnestly, so what wish did you make?"

Yin Chan tilted his head and smiled at her: "It's a vulgar wish."

Wan Xiang casually broke a piece of dog's tail grass, shaking it: "Oh~ I understand, I must let the concubine mother bless her, and let my cousin come back as soon as possible, so that Wan Xiang can give birth to a white and fat little nephew."

Yin Tang touched Wan Xiang's head, noncommittal.

A lot of young girls walking around laughed and pushed past, Jinlian was bumped into by them while carrying a bamboo basket, and glared dissatisfiedly: "I'm so eager, maybe I'm rushing to reincarnate!"

"Jinlian. In the first month, say something unlucky." Yin Chan gave her a reproachful look.

Jinlian felt aphasia, and quickly covered her lips.

"Don't you know? There is spiritual water flowing down from the mountain in the back of the mountain. Even if there is a severe drought, it will not dry up. It has saved many lives in the past." An old woman stopped and said to the three with a smile, " Not long after New Year's Eve, and it didn't rain, the spiritual water suddenly rose up, and it was as majestic and majestic as a big river at the moment. It was said that it was a manifestation of the gods, no, these lively little girls were all rushing Go to enjoy it. If you come to ask for a child, you should go and see it even more. Wet your hands with spiritual water and wipe your face. You will have good luck, and you will definitely get a nine-pound boy this year!"

After Yin Chan listened, he smiled at the kind old lady, and said to the two of them: "Let's go, the old lady is not happy when I go back late."

Wan Xiang was not happy when she heard that, these days she has been locked up in the house by her grandmother, and her mother's illness has been worrying her feet, she has been busy for half a first month, and finally slipped out for a while, how could she not have enjoyed herself so much? The reason for going home.

Thinking about it, Wan Xiang took her cousin's hand, blinked at her, and then followed the group of chattering girls around the small temple and walked towards the back of the mountain.

The path in the back mountain is not easy to walk, and the hoarfrost in the morning is attached to the dense withered grass on both sides of the path, and the corners of the skirt are wet when it touches it.On one side is the decayed gray-yellow earth wall of the temple, on the other side is the five-needle pine forest with luxuriant branches, covering the sky and the sun. The rugged and winding path is covered with soft pine needles, which are as soft as carpets when stepped on.

Not long after, the crowd in front turned a corner and disappeared, together with their laughter.

There is not much sunlight under the dense shade of trees, and the scenery beyond the pine forest cannot be seen.Xi Wanxiang's heart began to beat. She knew that the path in the back mountain was so twisted, and she hadn't walked on a wild path for a long time, so why did she follow along so enthusiastically?And without the laughter of those little girls, the surroundings became very quiet, only the distant birdsong and the rustling of pine branches colliding and falling.Look at this posture, maybe I have to walk for another hour or two...

Thinking about it, one or two rapid dog barks came from behind the earthen wall, which was caught off guard and made people tremble in fright.

After walking for a while, Wan Xiang turned her head to Yin Tang with some embarrassment and said, "Sister-in-law, Wan Xiang has had enough fun, shall we go home?"

Yin Chan stopped, squatted down with the corner of his skirt pressed, and said softly, "Listen, the sound of the water is very close."

Xi Wanxiang was taken aback for a moment, obviously she didn't hear anything.

"Close your eyes, don't be impatient." Yin Chen took out the silk, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and said with a smile.

Wan Xiang closed her eyes suspiciously, the sound of water seemed to gradually become clearer, coming towards her from the front, it suddenly became clearer.

After walking for a stick of incense, he turned out of the pine forest.

Vigorous green covers a large area of ​​the river, and opposite is the steep cliff cut by the axe. The milky white rocks are inlaid with clusters of dark green. Under the rock walls are clusters of reeds. It has been withered and thin, but here it is very lush, although the color is yellow, but it is as tall as a person, connected into pieces, under the strong wind, swaying, like ripples.

And in the middle is the spiritual water from the mountain that the mother-in-law said.The water level is not too deep, but it is wide and turbulent enough, entangled in vain, and seems to have the tendency of clouds and fog.

The fragrant grass is fragrant, and the girls are happily picking mushrooms on the rotten wood in the forest not far away.Yin Tang put her hand on Wan Xiang's shoulder lightly, she looked at the endless river water, she didn't know what she was thinking, after a long time, she asked softly, "Wan Xiang, what wish did you make in the temple?"

Wan Xiang was sitting on a huge jagged rock with a pool of clear water in front of her.With her legs hanging down, she looked up at her cousin, and said with a smile: "May every year be as old as ever."

The sister-in-law's fingers are so soft, they caress Wan Xiang's chin one after another, like the feathers are light, and the cheeks are full of spring breeze.For Wan Xiang's wish, she didn't make much judgment, but just chanted the most ordinary line in the Book of Songs: "There are vines in the wild, and there is no dew. There is a beautiful person, clear and graceful. Meeting each other, it suits my wish." Xi."

Standing aside, Jin Lian rubbed his kneecaps, but burst out laughing: "Second Miss is so upright, you just tell me if you ask me. But I don't know, if you say your wish, it won't work."

Bah, bah, crow's mouth.

Focusing on Jinlian's words, when turning back, Xi Wanxiang entered the Temple of the Empress of Songzi again, and respectfully kowtowed three times in front of the empress of Songzi holding a water bottle in her hand.It made the people around see the joke. Could it be that such a little girl is also preoccupied with getting married and having children?Really rare.

Maybe the old lady was right, I thought it was just an ordinary mountain stream, but who would have thought that it would always appear in Xi Wanxiang's dream from time to time.

However, the spiritual water in the dream seems to be more vague, and the wind is even stronger. Those reeds are like a continuous pale brocade silk, ups and downs, high and low.But her cousin sister-in-law stood in front of the reed, her sleeves were neatly arranged, no matter how strong the wind was, she couldn't move her, and her eyes were brighter than water, as if there was a haze.The sister-in-law just stood quietly, standing on the opposite bank, with a smile on her lips, looking at herself, her body was thin but as tough as rush grass, and her toughness seemed to never be broken.

Every time Wanxiang wakes up from such a dream, she will be dazed when she looks at the simple, or complicated and gorgeous dome of the bed.

There are vines in the wild, with zero dew.There is a beautiful person, as graceful as Qingyang.Meet each other, and live together with your son.

They only returned to Xi's house that evening, and stepped through the gate amidst the red clouds in the sky. The three of them were stunned by the messy scene. After asking, they found out that a lot of troubles had happened in Xi's house that day.

According to the weeping maidservant who served Mrs. Xi, Mrs. Xi was fine in the morning, but when she woke up after taking a nap, she seemed to be in a daze. He walked nimbly, but he tripped over the threshold when he went out and broke his leg.

The Lang Zhong had just arrived, and the room full of crying was full of people. After a good year, the Lang Zhong was called to come to Xi's house every now and then, so he knew the way.

Along with the doctor, Xiao Wanxiang walked to her grandmother's bed holding her cousin's hand, only to see the always calm and dignified old lady Xi with her eyes closed, her thin eyebrows tightly frowned, and her thin face was covered with wrinkles. , seems to be getting old in an instant.

The doctor called "Old Madam" a few times, but Madam Xi didn't respond at all, and the little maid hurriedly wiped her tears and said, "The old lady just lost consciousness, she seems to have passed out..."

After hearing this, the doctor hurriedly pinched Mrs. Xi's people, but there was no response after pinching for a long time.He quickly took the pulse again, and ordered the little maid to lift the old lady's broken leg out of the quilt.

Wan Xiang frowned and watched, but suddenly her eyes were covered by the sister-in-law behind her. She looked up at the sister-in-law, only to see Yin Chan smiled at her, then leaned down and whispered in her ear: "Xiao Wan Xiang, let's go out first, so we won't interfere with your grandma's medical treatment."

Xi Wanxiang wanted to see more, after all, in Xi's house, although grandma was serious, she treated herself well, and she wanted to know what happened to grandma.It's just that she looked at her grandmother lying on the bed without saying a word, seeing Aunt Feng weeping like a fake, and seeing the tears of the people around her, she was really a little dull and breathless.

After watching the sunset on the porch for a moment, the noise in the room finally calmed down a little. The doctor brought the medicine box and asked the young man to lead it out. Wan Xiang jumped down from the seat and asked the doctor, only then did he know that Mrs. Xi had suffered a stroke.

Fortunately, it was not serious, but half of the hands and feet could not move for a while. If I took the medicine and got the needles in time, I would be able to move as usual within half a year.As for the broken leg, the doctor has straightened the bone for her, and it will be fine after resting on the bed for a period of time.

Hearing this, Wan Xiang breathed a sigh of relief.When you are old, you will often suffer from illness, and the world is impermanent, which is lamentable.

Suddenly, a voice came from the room that had been crying all the time: "My ring is gone!"

The voice was Aunt Xia Hua.

that ring?Wan Xiang thought about it, and it was probably the one she saw in her hand that day, a crystal clear moonstone carved on the golden vine grass, perhaps the most precious thing on the slightly poor Aunt Xia Hua.

From time to time, Xi Xiahua ran out of the room in a hurry, bumped into Wan Xiang, gave her an apologetic look, and ran towards the other side of the veranda before she had time to straighten her clothes.
