Laoshan Taoist Chapter 69: Old woman

　　 was so silent for a long time, Xu Yuan raised his head and wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with the corners of his clothes, calmly, and showed a smile on her face.

　　 "Sang Gong must be hungry too, I'll go shopping for groceries now."

　　 said, turned around and left the wing, carried a basket of food and left.

　　 Looking at her leaving back, Wang Yan hesitated to say something.

　　, no matter what, during this time, I can just be quiet.

　　 Leaving Wuliu Alley, Xu Yuan walked sullenly.

　　 The remarks made by 　　 just now, although every word pierced her heart, but in fact she could understand that the xianggong couldn’t bear to suffer along with it.

　　 But she has survived the suffering of the past three years. What fear does she have for the remaining suffering?

　　 She and Xiang Gong have been childhood sweethearts since they were young, and they are close friends, so they booked a marriage early. Although Xiang Gong was a little playful, she was very fond of her and still maintained the innocence of her childhood.

　　 When her father and mother passed away, she had just turned fifteen. At that time, they formally entrusted themselves to the Wang family. As the saying goes, their married daughter is like water poured out. After this, several brothers and sisters again No connection.

　　 She still remembers that at that time Xianggong took good care of herself and never allowed others to bully herself. If there is anything delicious and fun, she would basically think of her for the first time.

　　 also since then, she has swore from the bottom of her heart that she will never give up in this life.

　　 The world is unpredictable. After only half a year, the father-in-law seems to have been fascinated by ghosts. He has to go to Laoshan to seek immortality and learn. At that time, it was expected that he would return in at least two or three months, but who knows it is gone. Three years.

　　 Unknowingly, the stream is blocking the road ahead, and the stream is gurgling.

　　 This stream runs from east to west, and is a tributary of the county's verdant lake. The stream is crystal clear, with willow branches swaying on both sides, and there are not many pedestrians passing by.

A stone arch bridge in 　　 leads directly to the opposite side.

　　 Seeing this river water, Xu Yuan suddenly remembered in her heart that Xianggong likes to eat braised carp most, so it is better to go to the green lake and buy one or two fresh carp back.

　　 made up her mind, and immediately she went up the stream and went straight to the emerald lake.

　　 Speaking of this emerald green lake, it is a famous scenic spot in this county. The entire lake covers an area of ​​more than ten miles. It is connected to the moat in the north and the official canal in the south. General merchant ships can go down here and go south, and more There are several tributaries running through the entire county.

　　 Around the shore of the lake, there are many restaurants and brothels, Huafang tea houses, where some swingers eat, drink and have fun, gathering places.

　　 And the west bank of the emerald lake is the fish market.

　　 Xu Yuanchun leaned on a pair of legs and walked for about half an hour before reaching the west bank of the emerald green lake. The dock in front of him was in the distance. There were many fishing boats moored around the lake.

　　 There is no foot-binding in this era. The so-called women who do not go out of the house also refer to the girls who are not out of the cabinet of the big family, and the ordinary peasant women are forced by life. Basically, no one will follow these rules.

　　 Xu Yuan walked along the road. As he looked, an old woman was standing on the shore not far ahead with a cane, facing the lake.

　　 When I looked closer, I saw that the old lady's face was covered with sadness, and her toes were almost suspended, as if she might fall off at any time.

　　 Xu Yuan was shocked, and couldn't take much care of it, so he hurried forward.

　　 "Old lady, don't do stupid things!"

　　 She rushed over and held the old woman in a hand.

　　 "Is there anything I can't figure out? Tell me, there is always a way to solve it!"

　　 Hearing this, the old woman turned her head around, but saw that it was a little girl who also took two steps back with her support.

　　"Little girl, I don’t think about it, I just feel bored, so I just stand here and take a look at the scenery!"

　　 She smiled kindly, indicating that the other party had misunderstood.

　　 "Oh! That's the way it turns out! That was my abrupt."

　　 After understanding, Xu Yuan was a little embarrassed and quickly apologized.

　　"But this lake is very deep, and there is an undercurrent below. It is too dangerous for the old woman to stand alone on the shore."

　　 looked at the old woman in front of her, her head was full of flowers, she looked like she was about 60 or 70 years old, but her face was kind, graceful and luxurious.

　　 A plain brocade robe, obviously not the old woman of ordinary people.

　　 "Thank you, little girl!"

　　 The old woman thanked her, and with her support, she moved away from the shore of the lake and came to the road.

　　"Little girl, it seems you have just cried, is there something on your mind? If you don’t mind, you might as well tell my old lady, maybe my old lady can help you out!"

　　 noticed that Xu Yuan's eyes were reddish, and there were still slight tear marks on her cheeks. The old woman's eyes were also unique, and she saw it at a glance.

　　 Xu Yuan shook his head, and quickly smiled.

　　 "No...nothing! The wind was a bit strong just now, and the dust got in."

　　 explained, turning his head to wipe away the traces.

　　 "That's it! Hahaha, the little girl is carrying a basket, is she going to buy groceries?"

　　 The old woman suddenly realized, she laughed twice.

　　 "Hmm! I'm going to buy fish and cook for my husband."

　　 "Oh! It turned out to be a quarrel with Xiang Gong!"

　　As soon as this remark came out, the old woman took the opportunity and looked at the reaction of the other party, already guessing seven or eight points in her heart.

　　"Little girl! This is a good saying, between husband and wife, quarreling at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed, the more noisy the more affectionate, there is no easy thing in the world, just as you just said, relax your mind and understand each other. There will be a solution!"

　　 The old woman gave a comforting sentence, her tone extremely calm.

　　 "Nothing, old lady, don't guess randomly, where is your home, it is not safe to be alone outside, or I will take you home?"

　　 Xu Yuan interrupted the other party and did not continue to talk about this topic. She was kind enough to persuade her, but now she comforted herself?

　　 The old woman sighed softly, nodded ~IndoMTL.com~ and didn't say much.

　　 "My house is in the alley not far ahead, alas! I am old and useless. I stand for a while, and my legs and feet are numb. It's really time for nothing!"

　　The old lady took two steps forward, then suddenly stopped, with a wry smile on her face.

　　 "Let’s do this! I just want to go to the pier in front. It’s not a few steps away, so let me carry you home!"

　　 Xu Yuan thought for a moment, and simply squatted down in front of the old woman.

　　 respect the old and love the young, this is what she has learned since she was a child, everyone will have such a day, and everyone hopes that when they reach that day, someone will be able to help.

　　 "This... how does this make it?"

　　 The old woman looked a little embarrassed when she saw this.

　　 "It's okay! I'm strong, mother-in-law, please come here with peace of mind!"

　　Under her strong request, the old woman finally had to compromise.

　　 took the vegetable basket to the old woman, and it didn't feel too heavy to carry the person. Xu Yuan took a step forward and walked in the direction she pointed.

　　 It didn’t take long before he stopped at an alley.

　　 put the old woman down. At this time, a seven or eight-year-old girl, with two **** on her head, ran over in a hurry.

　　 "Mother-in-law, where did you go, but your granddaughter died in a hurry."

　　 The little girl stepped forward to support the old woman, and grumbled.

　　 "It's okay! Just go out and relax!"

　　The old woman stroked the little girl's head and responded with a smile.

　　 "I'm really a kind-hearted girl, but I trouble you."

　　 She then turned towards Xu Yuan and thanked her repeatedly.

　　 Xu Yuan smiled and signaled that she didn't need to do this, and then left.
