"Then dare to ask where you live," she asked again.

Luo Fengtang glanced at the woman, and he didn't show any hostility in her eyes.

It's full of kindness and care.

Luo Fengtang also let down his guard, smiled and said: "Don't hide it, I am from Daqi, and I live in Wanghai County, Qing'an County, Changhuaizhou. ”

"Oh"

The woman nodded slightly.

In my mind, I searched carefully for the people I knew, and there were all of them.

I don't seem to have heard of that area in Wanghai County.

On Luo Fengtang's side, Yang Ruoqing walked quietly.

She didn't speak again the whole time, she listened the whole time.

She found something very interesting.

That is this woman, who seems to be very interested in Luo Fengtang.

Along the way, he was constantly looking for topics to talk to Luo Fengtang.

But from the woman's eyes, what Yang Ruoqing felt was not those evil and bad things.

It's a heartfelt appreciation and tolerance.

It's like an elder patiently asking his juniors about something.

As for Luo Fengtang, it is even more interesting.

He had hardly anything to say to the other women in the village.

Even if he is with his mother-in-law Sun, he does not have more than three rounds of questions and answers.

And at this moment, he can ask and answer every question with this woman who has only met once.

At first he seemed a little restrained, but later, under the guidance of the woman, he seemed to enter the state.

relaxed, and the chatterbox also opened, and the words were several times more than usual.

made Yang Ruoqing have an illusion.

It felt like the two of them had known each other for a long time.

No matter how far the road is, there is an end.

"I've arrived."

The woman stopped and looked at a large tree in front of her.

The smile on her face disappeared little by little.

The whole person stared at the big tree blankly, and then walked slowly towards it.

Luo Fengtang and Yang Ruoqing glanced at each other, and the two did not go over, but stood in place, chasing the woman with their eyes.

I saw the woman come to the bottom of the tree and slowly crouch down.

She uncovered the wooden box she had brought, took out the same offerings from it, and lined them up under the tree.

Then he took out a string of clothes tied with paper and gold ingots, lit them, and placed them in an empty bowl.

She didn't say anything, just crouched there silently, watching the contents of the empty bowl burn to ashes.

&

nbsp; Patches of black ashes, blown up by the wind, floated up into the sky of the canyon.

Like a black dead leaf butterfly.

The woman looked up, her eyes chasing the flying ashes.

Two lines of clear tears flowed down her pale cheeks.

When the last glimmer of spark went out, she still crouched quietly in place, motionless.

It's like a statue.

Although she didn't say anything.

However, this pain and sadness spread to the hearts of the two here.

Luo Fengtang and Yang Ruoqing exchanged glances, and both of them saw the same guess in each other's eyes.

This woman was plain and wore white flowers.

I really came here to worship the deceased.

ay

Luo Fengtang thought about his own affairs, and his mood also became depressed.

At some point, the woman returned to them.

Looking at the silent young man and woman, the woman was secretly pleased with their understanding.

A self-deprecating wry smile curled into the corners of her lips, "Are you incomprehensible about my behavior?"

"Ah" Luo Fengtang raised his head and looked at the woman.

The woman smiled faintly, and a trace of sadness flowed from her eyes.

She leaned sideways, pointing to the tree over there.

"Many years ago, my loved ones and I were passing through here, and right under that big tree, something suddenly happened."

"My loved ones were far away from me during that incident."

"But I couldn't even save his bones"

"Today is his death day, and every year on this day, I will come here to see it."

"He left so suddenly, I didn't even have a chance to erect a well-dressed mound for him, hehe"

The woman laughed, but tears welled up in her eyes.

"Madam, don't be too sad, you have come to worship, I believe that he will be able to feel it in the spirit of heaven." Luo Fengtang comforted.

This woman's affairs reminded him of his mother.

Back then, my mother gave birth to him in this canyon.

Because there were chasing soldiers, my mother handed over the newly born him to Luo Lao Er and let him take it away.

What about herself

A woman who has just given birth to a child, trapped in such a canyon, chasing soldiers, horse thieves, can she still survive

Luo Fengtang was desperate in his heart.

"Madam, burn incense here, whether it is the undead lost here, you can sense it"

Luo Fengtang asked suddenly.

The woman was stunned.

She shook her head: "To be honest, I don't know, I did this, in the end, I just soothed my heart." ”

"But this girl said, presumably, maybe, she can sense it."

Luo Fengtang then looked at Yang Ruoqing.

Yang Ruoqing also saw the sadness in his heart at this time.

"Sincerity is spirituality." She raised her hand and gently took his hand.

"Whatever you want, just do it." She said again.

Luo Fengtang nodded.

He turned to the side and crouched down.

He took out the two pieces of bread he had packed back to make dry food from his bosom and placed them on the ground.

Then he took the jug from his waist and sprinkled it on the ground.

Finally, he fell to his knees.

Holding his hands on the bumpy gravel road, he buried his head and knocked his head three times at the place where the bread was kept.

Yang Ruoqing also walked over.

He knelt down beside him, followed his example, and bowed his head.

Luo Fengtang's mother-in-law is her mother-in-law.

I have never met.

However, she gave birth to Luo Fengtang in October, and at the critical moment of her life, she did everything to send him away safely.

This mother-in-law, she Yang Ruoqing recognized.

His forehead slammed down on the ground.

Thank you, thank you for bringing me such a good Luo Fengtang.

If you sleep here, you can rest in peace.

I will take good care of him.

If you don't die, please give me some hints, so that your mother and son can be reunited as soon as possible

"Qing'er, get up."

Luo Fengtang's voice came into her ears, and her arm was held up by his powerful big hand.

He lifted a few grass clippings from her hair.

"When the heart arrives, my mother will definitely feel it." He whispered.

"Hmm." Yang Ruoqing nodded.

Then the woman came to them.

"You are a good pair of filial children." She said.

"Thank you for your kindness, you can take this jade pendant."

She handed a crystal clear jade pendant to Luo Fengtang.

"My family is in Shangjing, if you go to Beijing on another day, remember to come to me with this token."

Luo Fengtang pinched the jade pendant in his hand.

"Madam, this jade pendant is too valuable, I can't ask for it."

The woman smiled and shook her head.

"Saving someone's life is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, you have to afford it."
