Feng Qingxue was a little embarrassed, and withdrew his hand, "Don't keep saying the same thing, what is the family thanks?" Tianjun Tianzhi, they are all my children. Hurry up and eat, and we'll see if the blind man has left anything behind. ”

Lu Jiang was worried that she would leave, so why wasn't she worried that she would leave suddenly?

"Good!"

After lunch, the two of them rested for a while and got up to go on the road.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, most of the villagers moved to other villages, leaving only the blind man to live in caves.

"How do you know he lives here? Uncle didn't mention it at the time. When I arrived at the entrance of the cave, Feng Qingxue looked curious.

"When I was a child, I was very naughty, and I was much more than Xibao now, and I often gave my father and mother a headache, for which I was beaten a lot. When I heard the elders mention the ability of a single blind man, I felt very curious, so I ran to him. I was ten years old that year, and I came with my eldest brother without telling my father, of course, my eldest brother should be very curious. The eldest brother was looking for him to ask about marriage, but the blind man looked at the eldest brother and sighed for a while, saying that he was destined to die young, and there was no room for recovery. My eldest brother didn't believe me, so he pushed me to the front. ”

Lu Jiang didn't think about the past for a long time, and when he heard the blind man's assertion about his family, he remembered this past.

Feng Qingxue was stunned, "Have you ever seen a single blind man?" What did he say about you? I haven't heard you mention it. ”

Lu Jiang coughed, "It's the same as what my uncle said, the blind man said that I was destined to have no wife and no children, that is, a single life, and I lived in pain all my life until I was old." When I was young, I thought that singles were not good, and I could see a lot of singles in the village, none of them had daughters-in-law, and they were very pitiful, so I yelled at him angrily, and I said, 'I also want a daughter-in-law, I want a daughter-in-law, you say I don't have a daughter-in-law, you have to compensate me for a daughter-in-law!'" ’”

"Compensate your daughter-in-law?" Feng Qingxue covered her mouth, her eyes bent into crescents, "It turns out that you have done this kind of thing, has the blind man compensated you?" If you can marry a daughter-in-law or not, that's your business, why do you complain about being blind? How can he compensate you? ”

Lu Jiang Zhenzhen said eloquently: "Didn't he just pay me one?" ”

"Me?" Feng Qingxue pointed to his nose, puzzled.

"That's right! I think your arrival may be inseparable from the blind man. ”

Feng Qingxue's face changed, "What did you say?" When I told me where I came from, why didn't you mention half a word? ”

Lu Jiang's eyes rolled around, until Feng Qingxue couldn't wait to slap him on the back of his hand, and then he said hesitantly: "I can't remember the specifics, the blind man alone can't stand my commotion, it seems that I grabbed his beard and didn't let go, so he nodded and said that I would compensate me for a daughter-in-law." ”

"How did you pay for it?"

Lu Jiang thought for a while, "I remember that he asked me about my birthday, wrote it on a piece of paper, folded it and put it in a red bag, put it in an iron box, and let me bury it under the root of a tree at the entrance of the cave with my own hands, and kneel three times and knock nine times!" ”

"The tree?" Feng Qingxue pointed to a tree at the entrance of the cave.

Looking closely, she saw that it was a very old Lianli tree, but it had died.

"It's this tree!" Lu Jiang tried hard to think about it, asked Feng Qingxue for a shovel, and began to dig down according to his memory, digging three feet into the ground but finding nothing, "Probably I remembered the wrong direction, I'll try again." ”
