Chapter 165: The Living Sacrifice
Lin Jue's heart hurts, and the grief is uncontrollable, Fang Huanqiu's figure has always been extremely clear in his heart, and the time he spent together last year is vivid. However, I never expected that time had passed, and only a few months later, it would have been separated forever. I knew her fate, but I still couldn't reverse it, which made Lin Jue extremely uncomfortable.
Seeing Lin Jue crying, Mrs. Fang also panicked, her eyes were red, and she comforted softly: "Lin Jue, don't be sad. Your husband has just recovered, and if he sees him, he will not eat for several days. ”
Lin Jue wiped his tears, but he couldn't wipe them clean at all. Lin Jue has always hated men for shedding tears, thinking that it is a sign of weakness. But at this time, Lin Jue knew that the man didn't flick his tears, but he didn't get to the sad place. These tears are not only lamenting Fang Huanqiu's tragic fate of being beautiful but red-faced, but also regretting and blaming himself. My heart felt like I had been cut by a knife, and I felt sorry for myself.
She ...... Is it peaceful when you go? Lin Jue asked in a choked voice.
Mrs. Fang was stunned and hurriedly said, "It's good, it's good." Not...... Suffered, not sinned. ”
Lin Jue was a little strange, her daughter died, and Mrs. Fang said 'it's good', but it was also strange. However, Lin Jue's mind was complicated at the moment, and he didn't go to his heart.
"Is she buried in the capital? Do you have any words to leave behind when you go? ”
"This ...... No. Mrs. Fang smacked her lips.
"Didn't you leave me anything?" Lin Jue was surprised.
"Oh oh, it seems to be. Qiu'er asked us to tell you to take care. There is a fate in the afterlife...... See you again. Lin Jue, my wife has been sad in the past few months, and I can't remember it clearly. Mrs. Fang said busily.
Lin Jue nodded, the pain of losing her daughter was naturally a big blow, and Mrs. Fang was actually more sad than herself in her heart, and she shouldn't have asked about these things. When I was sad, I went to vent in private, so I couldn't cause the sadness of my wife and husband.
"Master, the festival is changing. I just lost control of my emotions, which is rude. Let me be quiet for a while, so I won't disturb my husband and wife. Junior...... Farewell. ”
"Shall you go? Stay for lunch at noon. Mrs. Fang said busily.
Lin Jue shook his head and said, "I don't have any thoughts, I'll make amends another day." Now I am in a bad mood, and I am afraid that seeing things and thinking about people will be more out of shape, which will cause you to be sad too. I went to say goodbye to my husband. ”
Lin Jue resigned to Fang Dunru, but Fang Dunru did not force him to stay, only comforted Lin Jue lightly, telling Lin Jue not to be too sad, and to hurry up and study. Lin Jue nodded in response, endured his grief and left the Fang family with Lin Jue.
Fang Dunru and Mrs. Fang stood side by side in the courtyard looking at Lin Jue's departing back, and Mrs. Fang sighed with her hands crossed: "Lin Jue is really good, this child is affectionate and righteous. Ay! What can I do? ”
Fang Dunru frowned and said, "What bad idea you think, isn't this deceiving him?" ”
Mrs. Fang said angrily, "How is it my idea? It was Qiu'er who wanted this, and she said that she wanted to cut off Lin Jue's thoughts. Didn't we negotiate it? Why do you blame me? It is for Lin Jue's good, and it should be so. He is already nineteen years old, if he reads Huanqiu, won't he become married? I won't tell you, I have to comfort Qiu'er, she doesn't know what it looks like to cry yet. ”
Mrs. Fang walked quickly into the house and entered the east wing. I saw that under the blue screen window, Fang Huanqiu, whose face was reduced, was lying in front of the bed with tears on his face, looking at the direction of Lin Jue through the screen window with teary eyes, and he couldn't cry anymore.
"Oh, my son, how good is that. What is this called? My life is miserable. Mrs. Fang hugged Fang Huanqiu and cried bitterly.
Fang Huanqiu hugged her mother and cried, and choked up for a while: "Mother, don't cry, I'm already very satisfied." If I hadn't let him go, I wouldn't have come back. I was so satisfied to see him cry for me. ”
……
In the evening, Lin Jue, who had been in the school for a long time, returned to the Fang family's courtyard again. His arrival again made Mrs. Fang and Fang Huanqiu very nervous, and they hurriedly locked the east wing tightly, for fear that he would see Fang Huanqiu when he entered the house. But seeing that he didn't seem to linger, and only saluted in the courtyard and then went straight to the bottom of the cliff in the afternoon, the whole family felt a little strange.
Under the ochre-red cliff of the back mountain, Lin Jue stood quietly in a daze in the place where he had many trysts with Fang Huanqiu. After a while, Lin Jue began to work among the dry grass. He dug a small earthen pit, took out a brocade box from his bosom and put it in the pit, and then moved the stones and clods to slowly build a small grave. Lin Hu silently helped by the side, and soon a symbolic tomb was built.
Lin Jue took out the same sacrifices from the back basket and placed them in front of the grave, which he asked Lin Hu to buy when he went down the mountain to the city, and they were all Fang Huanqiu's favorite snacks.
After lighting the three sticks of incense and burning the paper, Lin Jue stood in front of the grave and spoke softly.
"Woohoo! Farewell to the last year, it has become an eternal secret, heaven and man are forever separated, and this hatred is endless. Senior sister, I still remember the day you and I met last year, your smile was like a flower, warm as the moon, and I was shocked. I was fortunate enough to be able to visit him and have to be with you for a few months, and it was the best time of my life. You are seriously ill, and I swore to heal you, but I didn't. This is my lifelong pain, my lifelong regret, and my eternal regret. It's my incompetence. ”
“…… I still remember the beautiful days when you and I got together, and your warm words and smiles are still in front of you. On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, you look really cute in men's clothes and pretending to be a hermit. However, all of this can only be remembered. From now on, I can only remember you as I am. ”
“…… I am very grateful to you for not wanting to drag me down, and I can also feel your true feelings for me and feel your understanding. But you know what? You're thinking too much about it, and the day I said I was going to marry you, I didn't care about it at all. Life is short, so cherish everything you get together. Remember what I told you? Life is like the splendor of summer flowers, and death is like the quiet beauty of autumn leaves. Why don't you understand that even if it's a short get-together, as long as it's exciting, it's worth it. Even if you and I can't grow old together, if I can marry you and stay together for even a year, half a year or even a few days, it will be worth it. You still can't get through this level, so you choose to leave me. Of course, I can't blame you, that's how you show your love for me, you think of me, I understand. ”
“…… On the night of Qixi Festival last year, under the grape trellis, I promised you one thing. You listened to two sentences of that poem, and I promised to read it to you in its entirety on the day of Qixi this year. But who would have thought that before the Chinese Valentine's Day arrived, you are no longer alive, what a sad thing. But I still have to do what I promised you. I read it to you, and I hope you will hear it. You listen well: the clouds are clever, the flying stars spread hatred, and the silver man is dark. As soon as the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win countless in the world. Tenderness is like water, the best period is like a dream, and you can endure the return of the Magpie Bridge. If the two love for a long time, how can it be in the morning and twilight? ……”
"Senior sister, I fulfilled my promise, but what about you? You promised to spend Tanabata with me, but you didn't. Ay! Don't say it, don't say it. The events of life are only to be remembered, but the events after death are unknown. I am here to confide in you, and you may not be able to hear it, and even if you do, you will not be able to answer me. I will sacrifice these things to you, and I will not see you come to eat. Paper money is flying everywhere, is that you? This gust of wind is blowing, isn't it you? I'm gone, I'll come to see you often, you'll always be in my heart, and I'll never forget you in my life. Woohoo lament, woohoo lament! ”
Lin Jue's brows were furrowed, his face was sad, and after saying this, he bowed his hand slightly and bowed towards the grave. Stretched out his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said to Lin Hu in a dumb voice: "Let's go." ”
Lin Hu replied sullenly, followed behind Lin Jue, and the two of them rushed away.
In the bamboo forest at the west end of the cliff, Fang Huanqiu, who was wearing a hat and old clothes, had already cried into tears. Mrs. Fang on the side also cried darkly. They witnessed Lin Jue's worship throughout the whole process and were deeply moved.
Fang Dunru, who was standing on the side, stroked his beard and frowned: "This kid has another good article, but it's too straightforward." This kind of sacrificial text pays attention to the elimination but not the provocation, subtle and tactful, and the blank space is contemplative, if it is all said, it is not beautiful. But that Queqiao Immortal ...... Amazing? With this word, this son of literary talent can be called the first in this dynasty. The old man is not as good as it. ”
Mrs. Fang wiped her tears and said, "You old thing, you are still thinking about the quality of the article. Look at what we're crying like in Huanqiu? You don't comfort her. ”
Fang Dunru glanced at Fang Huanqiu, who was crying into tears, and sighed: "Huanqiu, my father told you since I was a child that you must have a heart of self-sacrifice, take into account the overall situation, and not do it for your own selfishness. Daddy is glad you can do it. It's painful and sad for you to make such a decision, but it's good for you and for yourself. But if you really can't let him go, you have to take the idea yourself. If you ask Daddy what he thinks, Daddy can only tell you, and I don't know what to do. Daddy has seen a lot of winds and waves in his life, but Daddy has never experienced such tricky things. ”
Mrs. Fang wiped her tears and said, "Qiu'er, I see that Lin Jue has a deep affection for you, or we won't lie to him." My son in the province is in pain every day, and in less than half a year, people are about to lose weight. ”
Fang Huanqiu slowly shook his head and said, "No, I can't hurt him." He has a great future, how can I drag him down? If I marry him, I will not be able to fulfill my duties as a wife, nor serve him, but let him worry about me every day. I'm actually very satisfied, he can be so affectionate to me, and I have no regrets in this life. I came back here to see him a little more before I died. Daddy, Mom. You don't have to worry about Huanqiu, Huanqiu has already made up his mind and will not change. His words are so well written, 'If the two love is long, how can it be in the morning and twilight?' ’。 yes, why should I ask to stay with him? As soon as the golden wind and jade dew meet, it is enough. ”
Mrs. Fang sighed, and Fang Dunru nodded and said, "The Fang family has such a reasonable daughter, and my father is very pleased. ”
Fang Huanqiu wiped away her tears and smiled reluctantly: "This nerd also built a grave for me, what is buried in it?" I'd love to check it out. ”
Fang Dunru smiled: "Why don't we go and take a look?" I'm not dead, what's the point of making a grave? This kid was also confused, and he didn't doubt it at all. Let's see what's buried? ”.
