Chapter 38: Embroider long poems for you
Huo Luqi fell asleep listening to his mother's poems since he was a child.
His mother's voice was very gentle and gentle, and halfway through a poem, he could fall into sweet sleep.
So, after growing up, Huo Luqi did not become an excellent poet under this kind of immersion, but wanted to become a sharpshooter with full expectations.
Because of a habit he developed as a child, he now wants to sleep whenever he sees a collection of poems.
When he was seven years old, Huo Luqi followed his parents to visit his grandmother's house and met a few people he had never seen before.
His mother told him it was his aunt and aunts.
Aunt and aunt?
That's my mother's aunt and sister.
Then why do they never come to their house to say New Year's greetings?
Huo Luqi's eyes suddenly lit up and asked his mother, "Will I have a red envelope?"
-not at all.
Because the Lu family came here to fight the autumn wind.
Over the years, since Mr. Lu's dismissal, the Lu family's life has become more and more difficult.
Even because they turned from rich to poor, they still spend a lot of money. They pawned everything they could, and after selling their ancestral home, they lived a poorer life than ordinary people.
The shabby clothes, humble attitude and behavior are a little more miserable than the Yan Zhen that Gu Zhi saw many years ago.
Lu Shuyuan shrank to the back, almost as soon as her eyes touched Huo Xingchao, she trembled all over, and then flinched back.
In fact, later, Huo Xingchao didn't break her hands or feet, and didn't do anything to her because she couldn't write it.
It can even be said that it was easy to let her go.
But Lu Shuyuan was still extremely afraid of this man.
At home, her life was tougher than others.
Because of the hatred of her parents and sister, she did a lot of dirty work. She was getting older and still couldn't get married.
Although she saved her life, she didn't know whether it was better to live on such a day or just die.
Sometimes she wondered, why did God want her to travel through, is it just for her to come here to endure hardship?
She just made a wish inadvertently, why is it so cruel to her after the novel's transmigration, but the great cause!
The woman lowered her head, her eyes were warm, and she felt ashamed.
In the end, Mother Gu couldn't bear to see her own sister reduced to this point, sighed, and gave her some money and food.
"I can help you for a while, but I can't help you for the rest of your life. In the days to come, you have to live a good life yourself."
Aunt Lu took the things and thanked them so much, but the family probably also felt that such a stark contrast was unbearable, so they said goodbye in a hurry, and left without even having lunch.
Huo Luqi looked at their embarrassed backs, a little curious,
"Auntie, don't they have enough to eat?"
......
Gu Zhi touched his head and didn't speak.
Today's world is chaotic and bitter, and most people's lives are not easy.
To eat a full meal, for many people, is just an expectation in the fire of war.
When sleeping at night, Gu Zhi suddenly felt very touched, turned over, and arched Huo Xing's chest.
The man raised his eyebrows. With a faint smile in his tone, "What's the matter?"
"It's nothing."
Her voice was hidden under the quilt and slipped out softly, "I just feel thank you very much."
"no need thank me?"
"Well, thank you for giving me a chest of gold."
......
Also, thank you for giving me a safe and prosperous life.
Thank you for protecting my family.
Thank you for being so strong in your arm, keeping me from the hail of arrows.
I have seen so many hardships and hardships, and I know how precious and meticulous your protection and giving are.
So thank you for everything.
Thanks to myself too.
can meet you.
......
When she was a child, Gu Zhi still lived in the most secluded part of the alley, with the mountains behind.
My father was busy with business, and my mother and grandmother had to work hard to make ends meet.
A lot of times, Gu Zhi was always reading the shabby ancient poetry collection that her cousin didn't want by herself.
That night, the stars were shining, and the family went out to collect rice. Before she came back, she didn't want to enter the house alone, so she took the book of poetry and sat in the yard under the light of a thin oil lamp, carrying it on her back in a soft voice,
"The egrets fly in front of the Xisai Mountain, the mandarin fish is fat in the peach blossoms and flowing water.
"The slanting wind and drizzle do not need to return."
A Qingyue voice suddenly sounded behind her ears, and she picked up the last half of the poem that she hadn't read. The voice was sweet and the words were clear.
She was surprised, "Huh", turned her head, and saw a young man she didn't know, standing lazily in front of the fence, holding a peach in her hand, looking at her with raised eyebrows.
His face was hidden between the lights and stars, not very clear.
The boy waited for a while, and seeing her face was still as usual, he couldn't help but wonder, "Why aren't you afraid?"
Gu Zhi answered him seriously, "Father said that there are mountains behind the wall, so everything will climb in, so I don't make a fuss."
The peach branch in the boy's hand trembled, the night was too dark, Gu Zhi couldn't see his face clearly, and he didn't hear his voice again, so he was silent for a while.
She thought about it for a while, then sat back and read poetry on her own.
"Egret flying in front of Xisai Mountain, mandarin fish fat in peach blossoms and flowing water. Green scallops, green scallops, oblique wind and drizzle do not need to return..."
In the long starry night, a girl with a clear face, a teenager with a peach, and words with soft pronunciation beside her ears, it finally became the most moving picture in my memory.
Gu Zhi will always remember that she read "Fisherman's Song" ninety-six times that night. When the back mountain gradually became lighted, the boy stood up. He approached her, smiled faintly, and handed her the peach branch in his hand.
The peach blossoms were blooming, and he asked her, "What's your name?"
"Gu Zhi."
Her voice was crisp.
"Thank you for the good place. Our old man has come to see me, I should go back." He raised his eyebrows, his face was unbelievably handsome, he thought about it, picked up a cut bamboo branch from the ground, and wrote on the soft ground a few words.
Gu Zhi held the peach branch and watched him jump up and disappear outside the wall, only his clear voice was in the air.
"Yu Gezi is also my favorite word."
The next day when she got up, she saw a few words written on the ground in the courtyard. The brushstrokes were vigorous and inexplicably clear:
The peach blossoms on the human face are red.
In fact, that night, they said only a few words, but they rarely forget.
So many years later, on what basis, I recognized him at a glance.
Next to the wonton shop, he came to her, just like that night, he gave peaches in his hand, raised his eyebrows and chuckled.
A thought becomes a reality. Since then, Taopan has a sweetheart.
Xinghuayanyu, he was wearing a military uniform, with clear eyes and a gun in his hand.
He said, "Hey, your fiancé doesn't want you, why don't you come with me."
"Why should I follow you?"
"I can save your father. I can also keep your family fed and clothed, and protect you for the rest of your life. When you only have a bowl of wontons, let you eat meat and I drink soup."
......
She thought about it and felt it was worth it, so she nodded.
"it is good."
"But don't worry, when there is only one bowl of wontons, I will give you wonton wrappers."
