Lu Mingshu didn't expect to see such a Bixi Valley.
The original narrow valley has expanded several times, and there are several more buildings.
When she entered Bixi Valley under the guidance of her disciples, Xie Changhui was teaching a few little radish heads to practice.
One, two, three, four, the younger ones are five or six years old, and the older ones are fifteen or sixteen.
In the gazebo not far away, Yuan Rong was lying there writing vigorously, looking over here from time to time, and scolding.
Lu Mingshu was dumbfounded.
Then Yuan Rong found her.
She was still the same as the naturally dumb girl back then, she couldn't believe what she saw, she reached out and rubbed her eyes, then dropped the pen, and ran over with her skirt in hand.
"Senior Sister Lu!" Yuan Rong rushed into her arms and hugged her excitedly, "You are back! Why have you been away for so long! You didn't come back to see, but we were so worried..."
twitter.
Lu Mingshu had a bit of a headache, so he answered first: "Something happened, so I couldn't come back in time." Then he asked Xie Changhui who came over: "Are these, your disciples?"
Xie Changhui arched his hands and said with a smile: "Son and daughter." Then he turned around and scolded, "What are you doing in a daze? Call Master Lu!"
Three men and one woman, some were clever, some were simple and honest, they all looked at Lu Mingshu curiously, saluted and called Master Uncle at the same time.
Lu Ming said with relief. These two people can really live together!
Yue Lingyin and Wei Chunqiu only had one child, but luckily they had four. Judging by the age of the children, there is one every two or three years on average!
This Junior Sister Yuan hasn't become a little more stable now, it's really hard to imagine what it's like to have a big belly...
Lu Mingshu took out the greeting gift and distributed it to them with a blank expression.
After listening to Yuan Rong's nonsense, she asked, "Where are my master and Aunt Hui?"
When this sentence was asked, Lu Mingshu felt that it was wrong.
Yuan Rong looked at her uneasily.
Lu Mingshu's heart sank: "What, something happened?"
"No." Xie Changhui hurriedly said, "Uncle Liu went to Yaoxi for inspection, and he will come back at night at most. As for Aunt Hui..."
Yuan Rong's voice was full of tears: "Senior Sister Lu, it's great that you're back! Aunt Hui, Aunt Hui... she doesn't have much time left!"
"..." Lu Mingshumo fell silent.
She should have expected it. The last time I left Jiuyao Palace, Hui Niang's hair was already gray, and now she is over 80 years old... She is an ordinary person and has no real energy to protect her body. Although she took her medicine, her organs still rot inevitable decline.
This is a cycle of life and death that no one can undo.
"Senior Sister." Yuan Rong sniffled, "Since you're back, let's accompany Aunt Hui on the last journey!"
Lu Mingshu nodded silently, walked into the room without saying anything.
…
In the same room in the old courtyard, Hui Niang was taking a nap on the head of the bed under the service of the little maid.
She seems to have heard something, she kept her eyes closed and meditated, but pricked up her ears.
"Myolie, is there a guest outside?" She opened her eyes.
The servant girl was catching up with her needlework, when she heard this, she looked with her head: "No!"
She listened for a while, then stood up resolutely: "No, there must be!"
The servant girl was frightened by her. She is like this now, does she still have the strength
"Aunt Hui! Don't be so vigorous, why don't you just get up and shout?" While speaking, she put down her work and put on a robe for Hui Niang.
As soon as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open, and a voice sounded: "Aunt Hui!"
An old woman with white hair was half lying on the bed. Her face was like dried orange peel, and her eyes were cloudy, but she still found traces of familiarity.
Hui Niang narrowed her eyes, her hands trembling.
"Miss, is my miss back?" She couldn't see clearly because her old eyes were dim.
Lu Mingshu rushed to her bed and held her hand tightly: "It's me, it's me, Aunt Hui!"
Hui Niang held her cheeks with her wrinkled hands, and leaned over to take a closer look, the more she looked, the happier she was.
"Okay, okay, it's my lady who is back! It's back! You haven't written for several years? Do you know that we are so worried about you!"
In the early years, she would ask someone to send it back. More than ten years ago, it was suddenly stopped. The people sent by Xie Changhui said that she disappeared in Kyushu, and it was very likely that she was buried underground, and she might have died.
Hui Niang didn't believe it, she didn't believe it at all. Her young lady is blessed with great fortune, how could it be possible that the young lady died first while she was still alive
Sure enough, what she thought was right, isn't the young lady coming back now
"You've lost weight! Look at you, you don't have much flesh on your arms! The same goes for your face. Did you take good care of yourself outside?"
Lu Mingshu listened to Hui Niang rambling on, and quietly checked her pulse by himself.
This probe made her heart twitch.
The appearance of running out of oil and lamps dying... Hui Niang really couldn't bear it.
Hui Niang had a very hard life in her early years. She was a widow and worked as a strong laborer. Not long after giving birth, her daughter died. Crying too much, hurting too much, Ben didn't live long.
Later, she came to Jiuyao Mountain with her, and lived through a few years of hard life, and I don't know how to get through it.
Because of the panacea, she managed to survive until now, and now she is finally exhausted.
Lu Mingshu answered her softly: "Don't worry, I'm fine! I'm not thin, I just can't get fat..."
Hui Niang was a little deaf, and babbled on for a long time, talking about her thoughts and worries, as if she didn't hear Lu Mingshu's answer at all.
She could only repeat sentence by sentence: "It's okay, it's really good, don't worry..."
Her return, like a panacea, lifted Hui Niang's spirits, and she got out of bed directly.
"You child, it's been a long time. It's been a hard journey, right? Aunt Hui will make you mixed steamed stuffed buns. You and Xiaodai like to eat..."
"Aunt Hui!"
Lu Mingshu wanted to stop her.
"Senior Sister Lu." Yuan Rong had already wiped away her tears and came in to help. She whispered, "Aunt Hui's memory is upside down and her ears are deaf. She is going to make steamed buns. If you don't listen to advice, you can only help her."
Lu Mingshu watched her snatch Hui Niang's job, and said loudly, "Aunt Hui, I can make buns! Just wait and see if I do it right."
Unexpectedly, Junior Sister Yuan would be so considerate.
It wasn't until the buns came out that Hui Niang came over with a smile all over her face: "Miss, eat one, is it still the original taste?"
Lu Mingshu took a bite, and tears fell on it.
She said softly, "Yeah! It's still delicious."
Hui Niang smiled and said, "Where's Xiaodai? Tell him to come and eat. He's been away for so long, is he too hungry? By the way, his parents are nearby, make a bag for him, and take him to eat... "
Lu Mingshu released Xiaodai silently, and watched Hui Niang pack Xiaodai with buns.
"You child, you didn't cause trouble when you went out with the lady, right? Be good. Here, take it to eat! Do you know where your parents are? We have been separated for so many years, go and see them quickly, there is not much time..."
