Lin Jinrong waved her fan gently, slapped it on Lu Yan's face, and separated his lips from her earlobe: "These are dog ears, right? Why do they happen immediately? Just drink a glass of spring water?"
"Your childhood has just passed. If you want to have a child, the next few days are the right time. If you borrow this auspicious omen, won't you have it immediately?" Lu Yan pushed the fan away and whispered: "I'll save my energy. Rui, strive for it when the time comes..."
Lin Jinrong sighed: "I just heard the next door talking, are you not afraid of others listening now?"
"I can't hear you." Lu Mian smiled, coughed twice, and said with a serious expression: "Is Aunt Sha feeling better? I'm really afraid that she won't be able to hold on and have to put her down halfway."
"The plaster that the boat girl brought is not bad, it should be no big deal." Lin Jinrong sat leaning against the window, fanning it hard, and complained: "Why is it getting hot at this time?"
Lu Yan moved to the side to let out some cool breeze: "It will naturally cool down when your mind is calm. I have nothing to do. How about we talk with each other?"
Lin Jinrong agreed, but when the chess game started, he was always distracted, and was soon defeated by Lu Yan. Although Lu Yan liked winning, he didn't like such perfunctory, so he simply stopped: "Since I don't want to play, That’s it. I’m going to go to the bow of the ship for a walk. Would you like to go with me wearing a mask? You can also stretch your muscles.”
He didn't realize it at first, but at this moment, Lin Jinrong felt an indescribable annoyance rushing in his heart, and said: "I'm too lazy to move, so you can go alone."
Lu Yan glanced at her twice and stood up without forcing herself to go.
Lin Jinrong leaned against the window and cast her gaze on the dancing waves not far away. She understood very well where this disturbance came from. Many things were easier to think about than difficult to do, just as she was to Lu Mian. Her life is either death or life. If she moves forward, she may regret and regret, but she may also be happy; if she retreats and wanders, she will never be happy, let alone comfortable.
At that time, she thought that even if she could only live for three more years, she should make this life a little more complete. She had tasted too much bitterness and wanted to savor the sweet fragrance of youth, so she grabbed Lu Yan's clothes. But at this moment, Mrs. Fu has told her that she can no longer pretend not to know, or subconsciously choose to avoid it - now that she has taken that step, she must face it, and she should be prepared to face and accept it. , not the casual attitude of just walking and watching.
Sweet and bitter, they are twin sisters. No one can live without the other. No matter who is missing the other, the other will no longer be dazzling. Lin Jinrong put her hand gently on her lower abdomen. Maybe she can do it, maybe She can make this short or long life more complete. She wants to taste the happiness again that nothing can replace. This child whose arrival has been delayed for several years will no longer have the same fate as Ning'er. Even if she is gone, she should still be able to let the continuation of this bloodline thrive.
The breeze came slowly, and the heat that had been lingering on Lin Jinrong gradually faded away.
At night, the half-moon casts its silvery glow on the river. The river water slaps the side of the boat, making a "swish, swish" sound. A fish jumps out of the water, its scales shining like a small lightning bolt. The small ferry stops. Boats of all sizes were filled with countless wind lanterns hanging on the bows, gently spinning in the wind. From a distance, they looked as bright as stars, but not as deserted as otherworldly fireworks.
"Second watch!" The call of the watchman on the shore still had a tail tone, but the surroundings were already silent. Even the barking of dogs could not be heard. The lights in the cabin were not lit, and Lin Jinrong put on his robes and lay quietly.
In Lu Yan's arms, listening to his heartbeat, his mind felt peaceful.
"What are you thinking about?" Lu Yan half-opened his mind, half-closed his eyes, lowered his head and gently pecked her earlobe. Seeing her shrinking back sensitively, as if to avoid it, he hurriedly held her down.
On his shoulder, he pressed his lips against the sensitive part of her neck and started sucking. Lin Jinrong didn't allow him to move much, and immediately reached out to lift his chin: "Don't act recklessly. How can I see anyone if you leave traces?"
Lu Yan held her hand, smiled sullenly and bit her shoulder through the thin Luo Yi: "Then tell me what you are thinking about."
"Guess." Lin Jinrong replied casually. Lu Yan hugged her waist tightly, rested his chin on her shoulder, and whispered: "I guess, he is thinking about Niangniang Mountain and Niangniang Spring, right?"
After saying this, he secretly looked at Lin Jinrong's expression from the corner of his eyes.
Lin Jinrong smiled slightly, turned back to meet Lu Yan's eyes, and whispered with a smile: "Erlang, if, like Mei Baoqing's wife, I left early, how would you treat our children? How long would you stay to start again?
Ji Xian?"
Lu Yan was startled for a moment, then suddenly got angry: "What nonsense are you talking about! You are too talkative!"
Lin Jinrong smiled at him and said softly: "Can you tell me, it's not true..."
Lu Yan quickly covered her mouth with a serious expression: "Although I don't believe in Buddhism, I don't disrespect gods and Buddhas. You are not allowed to talk nonsense like this in the future. If you are still worried, I will tell you that I will try my best in this life.
There are only things we can't think of and can't do when we love our children, and there won't be things we think of or can do but don't do. I will never let him suffer the same injustice as me again."
Under the moonlight, Lu Yan's expression was indescribably serious and solemn, and his dark eyes were as moist as mist. Lin Jinrong sighed and gently hugged his waist: "Life is not easy. If that day comes,
You must remember what you said. Otherwise, I will not spare you even if I die."
Lu Yan gently stroked her silky, cool and lubricated hair, carefully kissed the top of her hair, and whispered: "Arong, let's have a baby, I will love you mother and son."
The moonlight was like water, the waves were reflected, and the sound of the waves reached her ears, which plucked the deepest string in Lin Jinrong's heart. She whispered: "Erlang, if we have a child, regardless of male or female, the nickname will be Yi. How about that? I beg you."
He is resolute and brave, and is not afraid of the dangers in the world."
She softly begged for permission, but Lu Yan couldn't bear to refuse: "Okay."
Niangniang Mountain is like a curvaceous beauty, lying on its side by the river. The mountain is densely wooded and verdant. From between the beauty’s belly, a clear spring flows down the mountain and spreads for a foot among the blue-gray gravel.
There is a square pool of green spring water, no more than no less, full but not overflowing, crystal clear to the bottom. A thick layer of copper coins can be seen at the bottom of the spring. I don’t know how many years it has been accumulated, and how many coins there are, exuding a green light.
It's like a thick layer of moss.
"Madam, if you want as many children as you want, just give me a few copper coins, pray to your Majesty, drink from the spring, and your wish will come true." Sister-in-law Fu was really enthusiastic. Not only did she accompany the whole process, but she was also very serious.
Lin Jinrong shook one of the coins in his hand and was about to kneel down to pray, but Sister-in-law Fu said, "I definitely want five men and two women. I have to prepare seven coins anyway. Mr. Lu, don't you think so?"
Lu Yan raised his eyebrows, turned around with a smile and asked Xia Ye: "How many coins have you prepared for grandma? If it's not enough, hurry up and add more."
"Grandma is shy. She took care of it all by herself." Xia Ye smiled a little and walked up to ask Lin Jinrong: "How many have grandma prepared?" She is from the Tao family, and she has been looking after Lin Jinrong since she was a child.
The older ones had different sentiments and were a bit more courageous. Seeing that Lin Jinrong only smiled and said nothing, he took Lin Jinrong's hand and looked at it with a smile. When he saw that there was only one, he couldn't help but smile and said: "As expected, grandma is an honest person.
"After saying this, he counted six copper coins from his purse, put them all into Lin Jinrong's hand, and left with a smile.
Lin Jinrong held the seven heavy copper coins in her hands and was slightly absent-minded. Seeing her delay in investing the copper coins, Sister-in-law Fu couldn't help but smile heartily: "Grandma is young and thin-skinned after all. There are no outsiders here, so what are you afraid of? Your Majesty is also considerate of you.
I don't blame you for being greedy. The little woman even saw a handful of them being thrown away, and she doesn't know what year she will be born."
Lin Jinrong turned back to look at Lu Yan. Lu Yan had a smile on his lips and looked at her earnestly. Xia Ye, Dou'er and others also looked at her earnestly, and they were very pious. She couldn't help but smile, clasping her hands together, closing her eyes and praying.
After a moment, he carefully dropped seven copper coins into the spring water.
There were a few soft "pops", and the yellow-glow copper coins sank to the bottom of the spring, stirring up a few strings of pearl-clear blisters. Lin Jinrong's heart felt soft, itchy and astringent, and a string of small blisters appeared. Only
May he or she have a smooth life, plenty of food and clothing.
"I only thought that this spring water would smell like copper coins, but I didn't know it didn't. Instead, it was sweet and refreshing." Lin Jinrong drank the water in the cup, tasted it carefully, looked at Lu Yan with a smile and said, "If it is used to make tea,
But it’s good water.”
Lu Yan was in a very good mood. He looked at her sideways and said, "Others may not be able to taste the taste of copper coins, but you shouldn't be able to taste it."
"Why?" Lin Jinrong was puzzled. But when he saw Lu Yan pursed his lips and smiled, he couldn't help but suddenly understood. He poured the remaining few drops of spring water in the cup on him and cursed: "You are the sniffer."
It smells like copper money, you don’t have food and clothing, you haven’t spent any money since you were a child, you grew up drinking the wind.”
Lu Yan accepted the few drops of spring water calmly and said seriously: "I won't tease you anymore. To be serious, if you think this water is sweet and sweet, why don't I send someone to bring a big urn to put it in?"
Drinking one cup every day will definitely have better effects, what do you think?"
Lin Jinrong rolled her eyes at him and turned around to enter the cabin. Lu Yan smiled and slowly followed her onto the boat. He stood on the bow of the boat and found an excuse to reward the boat owner and wait on everyone. Everyone was happy.
After more than 20 days of sailing, we finally arrived at Jingming City, which is more than 200 miles away from the capital. At this point, we had to abandon the ship and take a car, heading for the capital along the wide official road paved with bricks and stones. Jingming City is an important commercial port, with numerous large and small
Different ships docked at the port, merchants gathered together, and the cargo was very lively. Lu Yan took Lin Jinrong around to look around, and rested in Jingming City for three days before getting up and heading to the capital.
