It was already quiet in the orange garden. Various different bird calls came from the orange forest, adding to the tranquility and profoundness here. Yun Niang snuggled tightly to Wang Ergou, for fear that Wang Ergou would suddenly
Ergou seemed to leave her alone.
Wang Ergou silently held Yun Niang in his arms and gently comforted her: "Yun Niang, don't be afraid, as long as I am here, everything will be fine!"
Arriving at the Orange Garden Villa, Wang Ergou pushed open a small wooden door. Inside was a simple bed with newly purchased bedding. Since there was no time to arrange for the Orange Garden workers to stay vigil here, the beddings were neatly arranged.
Place them on the bed.
Wang Ergou walked over, gently opened the quilt, then hugged Yun Niang, placed her on the bed, and covered her with the quilt.
"Yun Niang, you should have a good sleep. Tomorrow morning, when the workers in the orange garden come to work, I will ask my aunt to arrange for you to work in the orange garden!" Wang Ergou said.
Yun Niang was lying on the bed, but her eyes were wide open. She looked at Wang Ergou quietly, as carefully as a mosquito: "Thank you! Thank you so much! Ergou, you look a few years younger than me. From now on,
I’ll just call you brother! You call me sister, okay?”
"Okay! I just don't have a sister! Now I have an extra sister, she's very beautiful!" Wang Ergou smiled and was about to go to the next room to sleep.
"Brother, don't leave! I'm a little scared to be alone in this room! Can you stay with me?" Seeing that Wang Ergou was about to leave, Yun Niang pulled him nervously and refused to let go.
Wang Ergou thought for a while, then brought a small bamboo chair from outside and placed it next to Yun Niang's bed. He hugged a quilt and lay on the small bamboo chair, watching Yun Niang sleep.
But Yun Niang couldn't sleep no matter what, so she kept talking to Wang Ergou, telling stories about her past, saying that her hometown was hit by a flood that year, and she saw her parents being washed away by the water with her own eyes! She was so scared at that time,
I really don’t know what to do!
Wang Ergou listened quietly, and for the first time, he felt a strange feeling in his heart.
Yun Niang’s hometown is a poor village in Yunnan. It was very poor there, but at that time, Yun Niang liked her hometown! Because Yun Niang’s hometown was always full of warm nostalgia and family affection! She liked this kind of plainness
The breath of life! At that time, Yun Niang was a girl who liked to dream!
However, due to the poverty and backwardness of their hometown, most of the villagers went to work elsewhere! At this time, my hometown began to become lonely! There were children and women everywhere, and no young laborers were seen!
Yun Niang was very scared, so she often climbed to the roof of her house to look at the stars in the sky. At that time, only the stars in the sky quietly accompanied her and talked to her. When the wind blew quietly by her ears, Yun Niang
I feel better!
At this time, Yunniang's eyes always inadvertently look towards the small river in front of the village. By the river, Yunniang's sister Mengmeng always comes here quietly at night, having a tryst with her boyfriend!
The water of the river flows gently into the distance, just like Mengmeng's pure heart!
Mengmeng is a shy girl, but she is the most beautiful girl in the village! I don’t know how many people like her! But Mengmeng only likes A Niu in the village! For Mengmeng, A Niu did not go anywhere
, and stayed with her all day long! At that time, Yun Niang was very envious of her sister, her increasingly mature body, and her boyfriend who looked like A Niu!
By the river, Mengmeng and Aniu would always hug each other warmly. Yunniang sat on the roof and saw everything! She watched patiently and kept admiring, and they soon became the two of them.
Turning into one person, they kept rolling and rolling by the river, and finally rolled into the grass!
Yun Niang's innocent heart felt something. She knew what they were doing, and she silently blessed them!
But not long after, Mengmeng jumped into the river! It was an autumn night, and the cool wind blew chills on her face. Yun Niang was still sitting on the roof. She saw Mengmeng quarreling with A Niu.
A Niu took Meng Meng and jumped into the river together!
Yun Niang thought, why did they jump into the river? It was already very cold in the autumn night, let alone the water in the river! What did they want to do when they jumped into the river? Soon Yun Niang woke up, and she thought of Meng Meng
She couldn't swim, so she knew something was wrong, so she ran down from the roof. In panic, she opened her little mouth and shouted:
"It's not good! It's not good! My sister and Brother A Niu jumped into the river!"
Yun Niang's little voice quickly attracted some villagers, and everyone ran to the river. Mengmeng and A Niu were rescued by the villagers. They were all wet and sat on the grass shivering!
Under questioning from the villagers, Mengmeng and Aniu confessed their concerns. It turned out that Mengmeng was pregnant!
Mengmeng was very scared about her pregnancy. She did not dare to tell her parents about it. She knew how the village treated girls who became pregnant before marriage, so she discussed it with Aniu. But Aniu did not satisfy Mengmeng. Aniu thought
Mengmeng disagreed when he went to work in other places. In the end, the two of them quarreled and jumped into the river after arguing!
Yun Niang couldn't understand their thoughts. Love between two people was more important than anything else, so why did they jump into the river? That year, Mengmeng was just sixteen years old! After this incident, she beat the child, and then
gone!
Mengmeng went to a place far away, said to be Dongguan, and never came back for several years. Yun Niang missed her so much that she often wrote to her! But the people in the village despised Mengmeng, saying that Mengmeng was too old.
She knows how to seduce men very rarely! When Yun Niang heard this, she felt very uncomfortable! No wonder I want to leave here and would rather not come back for a few years!
Yun Niang still clearly remembers that on the day Mengmeng left, her mother took out a yellowed hundred-dollar bill from the cabinet and handed it to Mengmeng. The bill was covered with a thick layer of oil stains.
Mengmeng took it in her hand, hugged her mother and cried. Then, she came to Yun Niang and said to Yun Niang:
"Yun Niang, sister is leaving! Everything at home depends entirely on you!"
Yun Niang nodded, with a beautiful smile on her face.
"Yun Niang, I want to thank you! I know that you have been on the roof and you have been peeking at me and A'luo! But I don't blame you! You saved my life, and I will be grateful to you! One day
When my sister's life is better, you can come to me!"
Yun Niang nodded vigorously.
Mengmeng left, and she left with A Niu! Yun Niang silently blessed them in her heart! She wished that their lovers could finally be together!
Every night, Yun Niang would sit on the roof of her home and look at a distant place. She was thinking, Sister and A Niu are there, and they must be living a very happy life!
Meteors kept streaking across the sky, and Yun Niang shed tears as she watched them...
