Chapter 12 Chapter Twelve

The moonlight on the twelfth day is already beautiful, but the moonlight on the thirteenth and fourteenth starts to be eye-catching, and at fifteen o'clock, Zhenguan dare not look up! Daxin has been there for more than ten days, and at Zhenguan's side, he has waited day after day, but he has not received a single word from him—— so busy?Or is something wrong?Or - don't get sick!His body is so good-- What's the matter?Make people want to hang their hearts to the sky! It's good to really hang up in the sky and become a heartless person, but it's ups and downs with nowhere to go, and people can only follow the torment and suffering.

Towards dusk, after dinner, everyone hurriedly went to the beach to enjoy the moon; the older or older people were no longer as interested as before, just sitting in their own courtyard, and it was the same. The younger couples, including her five concubines and cousins ​​and sisters-in-law, almost all went. Zhenguan wanted to stay at home, but she couldn't hold back Yinchan, so she dragged her there. If Zhenguan hadn't gone, maybe she would never understand, maybe she would have to live for a long time before she could understand: How much influence does the state of mind have on external things!

No matter how beautiful the scenery is, if there are few people around who can share the appreciation, then the scenery will be the scenery, the water will be the water, the moon will be the moon, and everything will be irrelevant! When she was with Daxin, even before people who didn’t know him well, the surroundings and the four worlds were so full of meaning; once Daxin left, she couldn’t find the old world anymore; the sky and the earth followed her. The man shifted— After looking at the moon and returning, Zhenguan was really unhappy for a few days; on the eighteenth day, the letter did come.

Zhen Guan had pretended to be calm before looking for the scissors, but she didn't know if she was in a hurry, the scissors were still blunt, and after a long while, she couldn't get the seal off, so she lost the scissors and just used her hands; she couldn't even tear the letter with her hands. It's a little shaking. Zhenguan was able to cover his mouth with his hands at first, but after seeing it, he couldn't hold back his laughter; with just this smile, the shadows of the past few days also disappeared. She used to think that she couldn't fully understand the twists and turns of Du Liniang's kind of birth for love, and death for love; if she wasn't today, she wouldn't be able to understand Gu Kuang's situation that "there is only love in the world and it's hard to say".

Does love really have such a dazzling brilliance?This has the effect of bringing the dead back to life; a few minutes ago, she was still frozen in the freezer, but a letter from Daxin can push her back to the warmest spring sun. Xinzhenguan watched it several times, but her heart was still unfinished. She was intoxicated and turned upside down, when Yinxi suddenly rushed in front of her. In the past two days, he had a large sore in the middle of his face, which could not be touched or touched, causing her to be so troubled. I lost my mind and went to see a doctor five times. Western medicine is nothing more than injections, and Chinese medicine is nothing more than applying herbs.Looking at his red and swollen forehead, Zhen couldn't help saying:

"If you keep running around, the scorpion will grow bigger, so don't sit still and let Sijin see and scold you!" Only then did Yinxi stop, and said seriously, "No way! Mom and grandma are in the vegetable garden." "Vegetable garden boy?" "yes--" Yin Jubilee said while making a jumping posture on the spot: "They're hunting toads!" "toad--" She looked at Yin Jubilee's boil boy in front of her, and suddenly figured out what happened: toad is one of the five poisons, and her grandma must have thought of the ancient cure for poisonous boils.

"Go! Silver Jubilee, let's go too!" She took him there because she wanted to detain the patient for medical treatment; Yinxi didn't know about it, she thought it was just for fun, so of course she took Zhenguan's hand and didn't let him go. Zhenguan took his little cousin with him all the way, but he thought in his heart: Yinxi called Daxin's mother and his mother's aunt, both of them are middle cousins, he and Daxin are cousins, and himself are cousins, etc. In exchange for the amount, you have great faith in her, not only a close friend, a confidant, but also a relative, a brother...

In the vegetable garden, her sisters are bending over to search for what they need, while her grandmother is guarding a brown urn beside her, and the mouth of the jar is covered with red tiles. "Grandma, how many did you catch?" When her grandmother saw that it was her, she smiled and said: "There are only two, you can also look for them together!" "Isn't two enough?" "You didn't see his boil; it's as big as a teacup!" Zhen Guan let out an oh, and also bent down to look for it.Not long after, she found an ugly thing by the side of the soil, looking at her with fixed eyes; it was wrinkled, ugly, and stained with mud, at first glance it looked like a ball of mud, if I didn't see it later It can jump, and it almost deceives it.

"Wow! Here's one!" Her grandma and Sijin listened, and asked in unison: "Frog and toad, will you say goodbye?" Zhenguan didn't answer yet, because she was stretching out her hand to pounce on something, and when she pounced, she heard Yinxi shout: "Sister, toads are uglier than frogs!" Zhenguan caught it, and came to verify it with grandma, and said with a smile: "I know! Frog White Belly, this is just Flower Belly!" Her four concubines also came closer to have a look, and both of them said that the toad was right; her grandmother raised a knife and scratched its belly, and in an instant, the toad's internal organs appeared and were seen; the heart, lungs, gallbladder, Liver; her grandma rummaged through a pile of flesh and blood to find its two leaves of liver, and cut off one of the leaves with a sharp knife; at the same time, she quickly handed her four pieces of liver to stick on Jubilee's sores—

Zhen Guan is busy with two things now, he has to watch the change of the baby, and also needs to know the wonderful creature with half of his liver missing; her four concubines are holding their hands on the attached liver, so that Zhen Guan can't see Yin Jubilee's face clearly at all. , she had no choice but to turn her head to look at the situation on the other side: when her grandmother pulled out the needle and thread from her bun, Zhenguan still thought: What is Yiyu doing?It can't be to sew its belly, can it? !Can the toad still live?When she looked down again, she was really stunned: her elderly grandmother suddenly became a surgeon, sewing up the blood-stained belly stitch by stitch.

"Grandma—" Zhen Guan exclaimed: "Is it useful for you to sew it? Toad anyway!" "If you don't know, don't talk nonsense—the toad is raised by the land owner. We only borrowed a liver leaf from it to cure the poison, and we have to let it go back!" "Can it regrow? I mean will its liver grow back? And will it continue to live?" Her grandma was about to sew the last stitch, and Zhen Guanyi tied the thread very carefully, and then placed it on the ground: "Look, it's very awake! After a while, you put them all in a cool place, and they will naturally come back to life!" As he said that, seeing Yinxi moving around, he stopped him and said, "Look at you! Don't touch it with your hands!" It was only then that Zhenguan noticed that the liver was actually sticking to the boil... "Grandma, who taught you this?" The old man smiled and said, "People's experience has been passed down from generation to generation—" "Grandma, do you want to make a mark? Or tie a string?" "Only when they are alive and kicking, can Yin Jue's pup recover completely! You only need to watch Yin Jue get better!" ah ah! Is there such a thing in the world?Between the two, from being hostile to becoming closely related? !She picked up the toads and carefully looked for a shady place before putting them down lightly. Thinking of Jubilee Heralds, they were already lively and lively—just wanted to go back to the hand boy and write a letter to Daxin! Zhen Guan returned to the room after helping her grandma back to the room. She held the pen and wrote down:

The two letters arrived at the same time. Zhenguan received the letter at dusk until nightfall, when he went back to his room and closed the door, but he still couldn't read enough.The next day, she sent him the book, and in the small window of the post office, she simply wrote a piece of paper: On the sixth day, there was an answer from Daxin: After reading it for a long time, there was no mention of whether he had been to that place. When Zhen Guan replied, he asked specifically: After six or seven days, Daxin sent another letter: For the last lingering, in order to bid farewell to the sea that is as affectionate as a mother's embrace, Zhen Guannai quietly left everyone after dinner. After leaving tonight, she was a guest in a foreign land again. Find each other! In the past, when I went to Chiayi or Tainan, I just felt parting in my heart, which is not the same as it is now! She is about to go to Taipei, Taipei is the hometown of her beloved man, what kind of devotion does she embrace!What luck in life, she can meet such a magnificent man like Daxin. Ahhh!Taipei; the wide streets and alleys of Taipei, the wind and smoke in Taipei; a city and county that is unfamiliar and close, everything is just for the growth of faith there——At the dock, someone is repairing the malfunctioning generator; On the mast of the ship, there is a small radio hanging. In the darkness, Zhenguan not only listens to the singing, but also can see the calcium carbide in the belly of the ship: The man hummed along with the rhyme of the song, and Zhenguan couldn't help looking up: there are indeed stars in the sky!Is Tianxing really the tears of parting?Zhen Guanshang thought to herself, but she didn't know that the tears were falling down her lapel; she was so happy tonight, who would have thought that she was still crying; it was the deep love with this sea!Or are the lyrics touching and sour? In fact, when one thinks of great faith, even tears are just water marks and signs of joy; and the torment and distress in the world have become another kind of obsession in life because of this. It was already nine o'clock when she came back, and when she stepped into grandma's inner room, she realized that there was a guest in the room! It was a grandmother from the former neighbor Huang's family, who came to talk to the old sister; Zhenguan and Yinchan stood by the corner, and after listening for a long time, they realized whether they were talking about her granddaughter-in-law or not: "—Old sister-in-law, you also know, In the past, to carry a load of water, you had to walk three or five miles to pick it up, and a drop of water was exchanged for a drop of sweat; now that the water source is convenient, it can be regarded as a modern life. If you have a good life, you have to pick it up yourself! If you are lucky, you will cherish your blessings No, she is not! Every time I turn on the water faucet, it takes ten minutes to let it flow to the pool and then leak. I taught her: turn off the soap first, and turn it on again when she wants to use it. She is not happy—” Her grandmother persuaded Yi: "Hey, it's also a young man who doesn't know how to do things. I can only wait for you to teach me slowly." "Should I teach her to listen? She just said a few words, hid in the room without eating, and had to be persuaded by a man. When I wanted to get married, I hated it too much. His grandfather also said: shoulders shrunk back cold , not a good woman after all. Who knows that Ah Ye loves himself, well, now that he has no frame to take the top spot, he knows the pain!" "..." "I told him a long time ago that everything will be good if you marry a good one, and you will be lucky if you marry a bad one; if he doesn't listen, hey, it's his fate!" Her grandma persuaded her again, and the grandmother of the Huang family calmed down, she picked up the crutches and wanted to leave, Zhenguan and Yinchan sent Yi back to the Huang's house, and then turned back to the inner room. The two went back to the room and laughed in unison: "Aha, grandma has become a father-in-law today!" "What father-in-law?" The old man squinted his eyes and smiled: "The predecessors said: eat three years of fasting, and don't know other people's family affairs. It's just to let Yi out of boredom!" As Yi said, she took out a lacquer box from the cabinet; when Zhen Guan was very young, she saw this box several times, but she just glanced at it and didn't know what was in it; now she saw the old man being so cautious , Seriously, I didn't even bother to change my pajamas for a while, so people jumped up and came to watch with Yinchan. The lid of the box was just opened, and Zhenguan and the two cried out at the same time. She had seen a jade lock on her mother's neck, and she had also seen a jade gourd on Auntie Liulizi's chest, but she had never seen anything close to it. Hundreds of large and small jade wares, all stored together! Jade buttons, jade lotus pods, jade hat flowers, and jade hairpin heads; the biggest one is a pendant carved with a golden boy and a jade girl, which is as big as a matchbox and carved very finely. Clap your hands and watch from the side; the smallest one is a jade carved pomegranate; Zhenguan can't imagine how long it took, and what kind of skilled craftsman he is, to figure out this jade; the whole pomegranate is only about the size of a Sakyamuni seed, but it is round and solid , especially its pre-calyx and back-end sequential shape, all detailed and subtle, teach people to look at it, and they will be amazed. Others such as pots, bottles, peaches, and apricots are only as big as a little finger, and they are all exquisite. "Grandma—" Yinchan couldn't bear it anymore and said, "You still have so many treasures that have collapsed at the bottom of the box, how come we don't know about it?" The old man was reaching out to pick out two jade pendants in the box. Besides the golden boy and jade girl, the other was a picture of a mandarin duck and a pair of companions; both of them were very delicate and green, and they were hollowed out; Yi placed the pendant first. On the palm, they parted ways and said yes to Zhen Guan and the two: "Originally I would give it to you when you get married, but it's the same now when you think about it; I'm going to Taipei tomorrow, so I can't always be by my side..." After saying this, the atmosphere in the room became gloomy. Zhenguan looked at Yinchan, and Yinchan looked at Zhenguan. The two looked at each other for a while, and then persuaded the old man together: "Grandma, you go too! My uncle , Uncle moved several times to invite you to live!" When the old man heard this, he laughed: "I still go? In that kind of place, there is no one around to talk; no matter where I go, people don't know me, I don't know people, how lonely!" Zhenguan can imagine: that kind of people are separated from others, but for the sake of faith, even if there are difficulties and adventures in the world, they will become progressive and gratifying! "Okay! You don't have to persuade me; these two are up to you, pick one for each person, and hang it on your body, it looks like grandma has gone!" When Yinchan heard about it, he took a look at Zhenguan first: "Which one do you love?" item?" Zhenguan said: "You take it first, and the rest is mine!" "Actually, yours is the same as mine, I don't look at it, just take one!" When Yinchan dropped his hand, it was the mandarin duck that was caught. "Ha! The golden boy and the jade girl are yours!" As she spoke, she took it closer and put it on Zhenguan; Zhenguan had a gold chain on her body, Yinchan took advantage of this posture, clung to her side and whispered: "I know you love this, just now I saw you looked at it a lot Several times—well, it's done!" Yin Chan's head was so low that it was almost under her neck, Zhen Guan let her go, but he just kept silent. She looked at her slightly curly hair and broad nose——Yin Chan is the third uncle's daughter, so she looks like the third uncle... Just as she was thinking, Yin Chan suddenly stopped and looked up at her: "What are you looking at? " "See why your eyes are so big?" The two then laughed; with this smile, each other's concerns were related. Until she was lying on the bed, Zhenguan was still not tired, she couldn't help touching the jade around her neck, and then turned her head to look at the window: the light was off!In the darkness, she saw a faint light outside the house; ah, the long night is long, when will the sky be bright?
