She stayed in Kongshan for an additional two days, during which she stayed at Li Zhi's home.
She was not idle either. At first she joined the women in the kitchen to help make big pots of rice. Later she discovered that she was not the ingenious type and her cooking skills were not good. Letting her cook was tantamount to a waste of food. When food was scarce,
She was quickly asked out of the kitchen.
Later, she worked with the men to repair the houses. She was very strong, which also depended on her deep inner strength and abundant spiritual power. With one strike of her palm, a bundle of wood fell.
She can draw the bow left and right and pull two bundles with ease, and she can even sing an impromptu folk song.
Li Zhi would often turn his head and see her wielding a hammer or holding a saw, sweating profusely, tirelessly.
Only Jin Yunlan understood that she could only temporarily forget the deep guilt in her heart by doing these hard tasks with concentration.
In the evening, Jin Yunlan went to Shanxin Lake to take a bath, changed into clean clothes, and sat on the porch in front of Li Zhi's house to enjoy the cool air.
It’s already halfway through June, and the hot summer wind is threatening to arrive. The cicadas are already ready to chirp, and mosquitoes are leaving their bright prefaces on people’s skin.
A string of bamboo wind chimes hung on the eaves, which jingled when the wind blew. She thought that if summer could speak, it must have borrowed the mouth of the wind chimes.
After Li Zhi served his mother and drank the medicine, he held up a cattail leaf fan and came to Jin Yunlan's side to sit some distance away from her.
Jin Yunlan was so distracted that her calves naturally hung down and swayed slightly from time to time. She looked at the sunset that was melting on the horizon, like a beaten egg yolk. Melancholy and annoyance replaced Luo Dai and colored her brows.
Li Zhi silently blew the wind from the cattail leaf fan towards her, "If you feel homesick, you can go back." These words were cold and not half as warm as the blowing wind.
Jin Yunlan replied with a smile but not a smile: "Kongshan belongs to Luocheng, and this is also my home."
Li Zhi glanced at her and asked, "What are your plans next? You can't stay here forever."
Even though she didn't frown, you could still see that she was worried. The light in her eyes was very dim, like a candle that was about to burn out. She sighed: "If I knew, I would
Okay. But don't worry, I'm here to ensure that you have enough food and clothing. But this is what you deserve."
The two of them were speechless and sat there for a while, each with their own thoughts.
The bumps on the road are nothing, but it is rare that you can't even find the road. It feels like you are in a sea, with no direction at all except the empty horizon. You can only drift in the wind and let fate take its course.
At this moment, Li Qiang, a girl with braids and two little boys, ran over quickly, grabbed Jin Yunlan's sleeves, and said, "Sister Fairy, come and play house with us. Little one.
Brother Zhi, please come too." She cast an expectant look at Li Zhi.
After Li Qiangfang said this, her friend tugged at the corner of her clothes, "Brother Xiao Zhi is the patriarch now, so he won't play such a childish game with us."
The three children all looked at Li Zhi with eager eyes. Li Zhi obviously couldn't withstand the attack of such ardent eyes. His eyes wandered for a while, but he surrendered. He sighed softly: "What role should I play?
The three of them succeeded and burst into laughter.
Li Qiang smiled and said: "Brother Xiao Zhi, let's play my father."
"What about me? What about me?" Jin Yunlan asked excitedly about his role.
Li Qiang pinched her chin and thought for a moment, "You play my grandma."
Li Zhi's face darkened.
Jin Yunlan hid her face and snickered.
She fell into the drama on the spot, moved closer to Li Zhi little by little, looked at him with a smile, and unexpectedly called him: "Husband."
Li Zhi's hair stood on end for a moment, he glanced at her and warned her quietly: "The waist injury is healed."
Unexpectedly, this female gangster was not afraid of his threat at all, and replied with a smile: "Okay, I'm better now. Now I can do twenty backflips."
He sighed, and just as he was about to shirk the invitation to this famous folk children's game, he heard Jin Yunlan shamelessly threaten: "Look at the expectant eyes of the children, are you willing to hurt their innocence? As the patriarch of the clan,
You should rejoice with the people."
Li Zhi saw the eyes of the three red-cheeked, dumbfounded croissant braided dolls shining with curiosity, but in the end he could not be cruel and gave up.
He gave the female gangster an annoyed look.
Jin Yunlan snickered, her slender fingers silently crawled onto his palm, and held it tightly before he could escape.
Sure enough, it was a man's hand, broad and warm.
Her fingertips rubbed against his palm intentionally or unintentionally, and she felt the thin calluses on his finger joints, which seemed to be a habit of holding a sword.
She couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips when she thought of the image of her swinging her sword in the bamboo forest and making meteors fly.
Li Zhi, on the other hand, really wanted to scold her for being shameless. But when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say them out for some reason. The scene of her taking a bath in Shanxin Lake suddenly came to his mind. He felt ashamed for his shameless thoughts.
I felt ashamed, so I forgot to argue with her, and just turned my face away.
Little Qiangwei praised: "Brother Xiao Zhi and Sister Fairy have such a good relationship, and they even hold hands."
Jin Yunlan admitted openly: "Yes. Because we are 'husband and wife'."
Xiao Qiangwei clapped her hands: "Great. Then we can start. The plot is like this. I fell in love with Xiaolan and wanted to marry him, but my father liked Xiaoxun and wanted me to marry Xiaoxun.
"
Li Zhi's eyebrows skipped a beat.
"Then it's natural to choose Xiaolan. Parents' orders, matchmaker's words. Follow your elders and you will never go wrong." Li Tang walked leisurely from behind and made his own remarks.
Li Zhi snorted: "I don't agree. Love is the cornerstone of marriage, and a union without love is abnormal."
Li Tang's face darkened and he retorted: "Love is just a passing cloud and will dissipate in an instant. Only long-term and loyal companionship is real and can eventually grow old together."
Li Zhi quietly retorted: "Love and companionship do not conflict. People who are in love can grow old together. Loveless couples cannot be regarded as partners, but can only be regarded as partners in living together."
Li Tang rushed forward and pointed at Li Zhi angrily, and the conversation seemed to have turned to a strange place, "But after all, my mother married my father first and gave birth to the child first. When I was born, your father hadn't even entered the house yet!"
Li Zhi also pointed out directly, "So what. After my father and mother got married, they had a harmonious relationship and soon gave birth to a child. And in the following ten years, my father was always the more favored. Your father can only
Stay alone in the empty room." After he finished speaking, he snorted proudly.
Jin Yunlan's jaw dropped when she heard the content of the argument.
What kind of scene is this, with thunder rolling down from the sky?
Are Li's folk customs so tough?
Polyandry?
Seeing that the two brothers were quarreling fiercely, she wanted to persuade her to make peace. Unexpectedly, the two brothers grabbed one of her arms and asked in unison: "You are a woman. Tell me, if it were you, how would you do it?"
Who do you value?"
Jin Yunlan was about to cry but had no tears, like a swing frame being pulled and swayed left and right in the wind.
Very sad.
Didn’t we agree to play house?
In order to compete for their father's position in their mother's heart, the two brothers broke up in a bad fight. They were squeezing each other, not letting the other go. Before going back to the room to sulk, the two looked at each other, sneered at each other, and then "Bang!"
With a sound, he closed his door at the same time.
Seeing this, Jin Yunlan could only shrug her shoulders helplessly, and regretfully said to Little Qiangwei: "My father ran away, and only my mother is left."
Little Qiangwei put her hands on her waist and sighed like a little adult, "Boys are just so childish."
Jin Yunlan couldn't help laughing when she saw her speaking mature words in a childish voice.
The sky turned completely dark without realizing it. Little Qiangwei's two friends looked at each other, and after thinking for a while, they said to Little Qiangwei: "Li Qiang, let's go back first. Grandma is still at home waiting for us to have dinner." After that,
The two children ran away quickly.
Little Qiangwei's face became extremely obvious, from being cheerful to feeling lost in just a moment.
Jin Yunlan noticed that she looked like she was about to cry, so he took the initiative to hold her next to him and sit down, gently stroking the folds between her eyebrows with his fingers, "Why are you unhappy? The game can continue tomorrow."
Little Qiangwei shook her head, her dark eyes filled with tears. She rubbed her sore eyes helplessly, and said in a hoarse voice, "My mother-in-law passed away."
Jin Yunlan's chest was hit hard by these words, and her face became sad. She hugged Li Qiang and faced the June night sky in silence for a long time.
"My grandma also passed away. She died in childbirth. I didn't even see her face." She said this calmly.
Li Qiang suddenly raised her head and looked at her sadly, "Are you sad?"
Jin Yunlan took a deep breath: "It's sad. Although my stepmother loves me very much, whenever I see her getting along with my younger brothers and sisters, I always think of my biological mother."
Little Qiangwei subconsciously rubbed the corners of her clothes and told her sincerely, "My mother-in-law died when I was very young. She gave birth to me late, but fortunately my father is still young. He is very young.
Love me. I am very sad to lose my mother-in-law, but there are many people in Kongshan who have lost their parents at a young age. We feel better when we are sad together and cry together."
Thinking of this, Jin Yunlan couldn't help but clenched her fists, wishing to punch them on the spot. Who could have come up with such a vicious method, causing these children to suffer so much.
The thirty-year-old blood curse is simply outrageous to both humans and gods.
She looked at the little girl in her arms with distress and asked gently: "Little Qiangwei, do you know what your mother looks like?"
Li Qiang nodded: "My father often mentioned it. He said that my mother had a face with oval seeds, a pair of willow-leaf eyebrows spread softly on her almond-shaped eyes, a small beauty mark on her small nose, and a beauty mark at the corner of her mouth."
A little beauty mark. She likes to wear her hair like this." She couldn't name the bun, so she could only make random gestures with her hands, "Yes, yes, her earlobes are very big, like a Bodhisattva."
Jin Yunlan kept nodding her head, listening to her description, and she had an outline in her heart. She gently covered Li Qiang's eyes and whispered in her ear: "When a relative dies, he will turn into a star in the sky. You look at it from a distance
When she is there, she is also watching you. When your thoughts are conveyed to her, she will descend to the mortal world and come to your side." After that, she withdrew her hand.
Li Qiang opened her eyes filled with pain and was immediately speechless.
Because she saw the mother she thought about day and night appeared in front of her! This chapter has been completed!
