Qinghe Pastoral

The moonlight tonight is extraordinarily bright, and the soft moonlight shines on the devastated Dongzhou City, which is indescribably quiet and desolate.

Lin Mu was lying in Ji Ruixiu's firm and strong arms, but his face was pale, and there was faint sweat on his forehead, and his two delicate eyebrows were tightly knit together, as if he was enduring great fear.

"No, no, don't hurt Chen'er, Chen'er, father, father..."

Lin Mu muttered to himself, and suddenly, the little beast lying in front of the bed opened its pair of blood-like red eyes, and it looked at the person on the bed calmly, but it didn't know that these red eyes were in the moonlight. So scary yet mysterious.

Ji Ruixiu woke up and saw that Lin Mu seemed to be haunted by a nightmare. He touched Lin Mu's forehead, but felt the wetness between Lin Mu's forehead.

While lighting the candle beside the bed, he woke up Lin Mu, who was immersed in a horrible dream. After calling a few times, he found that Lin Mu hadn't woken up at all. He was calling "Lin Chen" and "Dad". There was a line of clear tears in the corner of his eyes.

Worrying and blaming himself, Ji Ruixiu hurriedly hugged Lin Mu into his arms, shaking Lin Mu's body gently while calling his name.After a while, he finally heard Lin Mu's low "xiu", and Lin Mu finally woke up from the nightmare.

Ji Ruixiu held him tightly in his arms, and patted his back lightly with his left hand. He sighed inwardly, then bent down and kissed Lin Mu's slightly cool forehead.

"Don't be afraid, I'm always by your side, don't be afraid."

Lin Mu didn't speak, but Ji Ruixiu could feel Lin Mu's hand wrapped around his waist getting stronger. Just when Ji Ruixiu thought that Lin Mu would not speak again, he heard Lin Mu say: "Why, why did he block the knife for me? Originally , we can be the most estranged father and son in the world, but why did he block the knife for me, why?"

According to Lin Mu's temperament, Ji Ruixiu knew that this matter would become a difficult knot in Lin Mu's heart.As for why Mu Kang blocked the knife for Lin Mu, it may be the instinct of blood connection, or maybe he hides his father-son love for Lin Mu.But no matter what the reason is, Ji Ruixiu is really grateful to Mu Kang.

Ji Ruixiu didn't like Mu Kang's various behaviors for most of his life, but Mu Kang's last behavior was enough to make him no longer hate him.

"Mu'er, don't blame me for saying something selfish. No matter what his purpose is, I am grateful for his final choice, because in this world, I can abandon anyone but you. No matter what, he blocked that knife for you , is enough to show his feelings for you. Perhaps most parents in this world are willing to give everything for their children, and you can live well is the best reward for them."

"Really? Does he really regard me as his own son? Does he really love me and is even willing to die for me?"

"It's not as if you are, but you are, Mu'er. The strong feelings in the world may be instinctive, and these natural bonds will not be cut off with time and distance. A person, how much sincerity has been used, can be for you." You block the knife to die? I will not let you forget the past and mourn his death all day long, but I think there is no doubt that he loves you. Don't be afraid, don't blame yourself, because he loves you You, I hope you live well, no matter whether you can let go of everything in this life, at least you must live well. Moreover, I will never leave you for half a minute in the future, and I will be with you, so don't be afraid, don't blame yourself. "

Lin Mu listened to Ji Ruixiu's deep voice, but his poor time with Mu Kangshao flashed through his mind.When he was young, Mukang was too busy to accompany him often, but in his memory Mukang was kind to him.Perhaps as Ji Ruixiu said, he and Mu Kang don't have the kind of deep father-son relationship that accompany them every day, but blood is a natural bond.Maybe it's instinct or maybe love, but the matter is a foregone conclusion, he can't change it and can only go head-on.

"Well, he left doubts and left. No matter what, every year on the anniversary of his death, I will come back to Dongzhou to pay respects to him."

Hearing what Lin Mu said, Ji Ruixiu breathed a sigh of relief, it would be best if Lin Mu could figure it out.

"Well, I will accompany you, sleep."

Lin Mu was about to lie down, but saw Lin Chen staring at him with bright eyes. Lin Mu was taken aback, but Lin Chen asked confusedly, "Is brother in pain? Why are you crying?"

Lin Mu looked at his sincere eyes, but asked such an innocent question, and his heart suddenly brightened.He couldn't help but kissed Lin Chen, and coaxed: "My brother is not in pain, Chen'er, go to sleep."

After finishing speaking, he held Lin Chen in his arms, and as Lin Mu patted Lin Chen's back, Lin Chen quickly fell asleep again.

The world of children is so pure and happy. In this long or short life, the time when they are young is the happiest and most worry-free.After growing up, facing this complicated world, it is difficult to find that kind of carefree and happiness.

Feeling the warmth in his arms, Lin Mu felt the strong peace of mind that Ji Ruixiu brought him, and finally closed his eyes slowly.In the second half of the night, there were no nightmares or pain, and Lin Mu slept very well.

Wang Xiaoer's deed of selling himself has been redeemed, and Aunt Zhang, knowing the reason, decided to let Wang Xiaoer learn some things about store management, thinking of finding a leisurely job for him.

They originally intended to buy some properties for Wang Xiaoer, but after thinking for a long time, Aunt Zhang had already made plans for him, so they decided to write more money to him and let him arrange it himself.

After another two days of recuperating in Dongzhou without leaving home, Lin Mu was completely recovered. He thought how his relatives at home might miss them, so he wanted to hurry back to Qinghe Village as soon as possible.

"What do you think?"

Ji Ruixiu took the snacks out of the house, but saw Lin Mu sitting under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in a daze.

"I thought we were going back to Qinghe Village tomorrow, and we would go to Liu's Mansion in the afternoon. I was so dazed that I didn't thank them."

"Of course, the ceremony has already been prepared, and we will go after we entertain Aunt Zhang and Xiaoer."

In order to thank and say goodbye, they specially invited Aunt Zhang and Wang Xiaoer. Wei Xun's craftsmanship is really good, but it is not difficult to make a table for entertaining people.

While talking, he saw Aunt Zhang coming forward with Mu Xianye in her arms, and Wang Xiaoer following behind. Lin Mu hurriedly got up to meet him, with a warm smile on his face.

"Brother."

Although Mu Xianye is a child of a few years old, he knows etiquette quite well. When he sees Lin Mu several times, he always greets Lin Mu respectfully and salutes.Naturally, Lin Mu and him will not be as close as Lin Chen, but they also like love and affection.

"It feels like Ye'er has grown up a bit."

Children always look different every day, but in two or three days, Mu Xianye has grown some hair again.

"Ye'er will soon grow up and share the burden for mother."

Although Mu Xianye was young, he was extremely sensible. He seemed to know what Mu Kang's death meant. Seeing his child's body, Lin Mu spoke the words of an adult. While he was happy for Aunt Zhang, he also felt sorry for the mother and child.

Aunt Zhang was very happy when she heard what Mu Xianye said, and reached out to touch his little head.

"Fool, mother is fine, mother only hopes that you will be healthy and grow up well."

"Ye'er is so sensible, thanks to my aunt's teaching. Thinking about it, in the future, my aunt will enjoy endless blessings from children and grandchildren."

Lin Mu couldn't help touching Mu Xianye's little head, seeing his slightly flushed cheeks and slightly drooping head, he couldn't help sighing that a child is still a child after all.

Several people were chatting happily, but they saw Lin Chen sitting on the back of the little beast and coming towards them.

It was the first time for Mu Xianye to see the little beast. Although he was a bit shy, he was courageous. He kept looking at the little beast with a strange light in his eyes.

"It looks so good-looking, so heroic."

Lin Mu looked at Mu Xianye, and sighed that this little beast must have recruited children.

But the little beast was cold to Mu Xianye, it didn't even give Mu Xianye a look. It went straight to Lin Mu. Lin Mu thought that he would have lunch soon, so he put Lin Chen on the back of the little beast. hugged down.

"Chen'er looks so cute, give me a hug."

Lin Chen looks Yuxue and is cute, even a few big men can't be liked, let alone a woman like Aunt Zhang.

Lin Mu put Lin Chen into Aunt Zhang's arms, Lin Chen didn't recognize him, Aunt Zhang teased Lin Chen, causing Lin Chen to "giggle" and laughed, Aunt Zhang was even more happy, her beautiful face was full of smiles, looking Even more coquettish.

Seeing such a beautiful Aunt Zhang, Lin Mu sighed slightly in her heart. Aunt Zhang is only in her thirties, she looks good, and her character is not to mention that such a person has not found a sincere job that belongs to her. And passionate love, maybe you will be a widow for the rest of your life, it's really an indescribable pity.

While Lin Mu was thinking, Wei Xun and Bai Junyan had already prepared a table of sumptuous delicacies. The two of them had been busy all morning, and they filled the table to the brim with all the dishes and their exquisite appearance.

Aunt Zhang looked at this table of delicacies and couldn't help saying: "You two are good at cooking, Wanqing is willing to bow down."

Wei Xun was good at talking, he learned about Aunt Zhang from Bai Junyan, and he admired such a woman very much, seeing Aunt Zhang's praise, he was not polite, and even talked with Aunt Zhang Kaikai.

Wei Xun has been in charge of the cook for the past few days, and Lin Mu didn't feel tired after eating for a few days. He has been following Xu Xiuqin for several years, and his cooking level is not bad, but he can't compare with Wei Xun.

"The taste is really good, Mr. Wei is good at craftsmanship."

"Auntie praised it absurdly, you should eat more."

While talking, she still didn't forget to pick up some food for Bai Junyan. From the corner of her eye, Aunt Zhang looked a little unnatural when she met her, but the expression at that moment was completely in Lin Mu's eyes.

Aunt Zhang picked up some food for Mu Xianye, and when she raised her head again, it was the same as before, but everything just now was like Lin Mu's illusion.

After eating for nearly half an hour, the table was almost wiped out, even Mu Xianye, a young adult, was a bit full.

Aunt Zhang stroked his chubby belly, and couldn't help but speak: "Look at Mr. Wei's skill, we Ye'er are full."

Mu Xianye was a little embarrassed by his mother's words, lowered his eyes slightly, but his exposed face was a little flushed.

"That's a good thing. When my aunt finds time to come to Qinghe Village to stay for a while, I will cook for myself."

"Naturally, when Ye'er grows older, I will come to accompany Miss Bai more often."

No matter how his status changes, Zhang Wanqing still has the same gratitude and respect for Bai Junyu. How rare is this kind of heart?Lin Mu naturally answered yes again and again.
