A gust of wind blew. Lin Yu looked to the west and saw that the sun was already a little west. It gets dark early in winter, especially today's weather is not very good and gloomy, so when the time comes, the sky becomes a little dark.
Already.
Moreover, there has been another cold wave in the past two days, and the northwest wind is blowing, making people clearly feel a chill on their bodies.
"Yingying, it's time to go, it's getting late." Lin Yu looked at the time and said, it was indeed getting late, and the weather was a bit cold. Liu Ying must be quite tired after talking here for so long.
"Yes, right away." Liu Ying nodded, then she knelt down and kowtowed three times to say goodbye to her parents.
Lin Yu also knelt down, kowtowed three times, then stood up and pulled Liu Ying away with him.
After talking for a whole afternoon, Liu Ying's mood became obviously much brighter. She held Lin Yu's hand along the way and looked very happy.
"Lin Yu, why did you kowtow to my parents when you left?" This is what Liu Ying is most concerned about now. She feels that Lin Yu is not related to her, so it is inappropriate to pay such a big gift to her parents.
Know what the reason is.
"Your parents are also my parents." Lin Yu smiled and said: "I still remember that when I was a child, I often went to your house to have dinner. I think your mother's cooking is very delicious."
"You haven't been there a few times in total." Liu Ying sighed.
"Stop talking about these things, talk about happy things." Lin Yu said with a smile: "Your brother is getting married tomorrow, you should be happy."
"I will be happy when I get married." Liu Ying looked at Lin Yu and said seriously.
"Oh... well, there should be quite a few men chasing you, pick one?" Lin Yu smiled bitterly.
"I don't call them." Liu Ying looked at Lin Yu and said, "But the people I called didn't call me."
Lin Yu stopped talking, because every time this question was raised, he didn't know how to answer Liu Ying better, because he didn't want to give out the good person card, nor was it easy to hand out the brother and sister card, so he wouldn't treat Liu Ying every time
Say, you are a good person, I will always treat you as my sister, right?
Lin Yu didn't want to repeat the obviously perfunctory topic a second time, because it would make him feel annoyed if he talked about it too much. Isn't this irresponsible to others?
Lin Yu didn't speak, and Liu Ying didn't want to speak either, so she held Lin Yu's hand and walked forward.
Although this place has been renovated and developed before, and some bluestone roads were paved on the underground paths, the mountain road is difficult to walk, and after the developer ran away, no one took care of it for a long time, so the thorns on both sides of the place grew again.
.
Although the mountain is not big, it is very quiet now, especially since there are graves everywhere in this place, and the northwest wind is blowing, so it seems a bit intrusive.
After turning the corner in front, I saw an old man carrying two jars of wine and also visiting the grave in front. The old man took a lighter and wanted to light the incense candle, but the wind was too strong and his hands were shaking a little, so he tried a few times.
After several times, it was still in vain.
The old man sighed, wiped the cloudy tears from the corners of his eyes, and then tried again.
But maybe because of his old age, when he lit the fire, he forgot to block the wind with his hands, so no matter how hard he tried, the incense candle in his hand still couldn't light.
"Old man, use mine, a windproof lighter." Lin Yu smiled and handed over his lighter.
"Oh, thank you, young man." The old man raised his head and glanced at Lin Yu with an expressionless face. He was very old, with wrinkles all over his forehead. He looked like he was in his twilight years.
"You're welcome." Lin Yu looked at the grave in front of him. Some new soil was added to the grave, and there was an iron handle next to it. It seemed that the old man had just added soil. Most of the graves here had no monuments.
Yes, but there is a monument erected on the grave in front of the old man, but there is no writing on the monument.
Using Lin Yu's lighter, the old man finally lit the Yin money in his hand. He carefully placed the fire on the ground, then patiently picked up the Yin money and the yellow paper, and added it to the fire one by one.
There were not many sacrifices, only a few apples placed in a fruit plate, and some hand-steamed flower rolls. The old man was very silent. He just kept putting money into the fire. Other than that, there was nothing else.
say.
"Old man, are you paying homage to your relatives?" Liu Ying asked curiously, because this place is relatively remote, and the tomb is a bit flat, and it looks like an ownerless tomb that has been left for decades.
There are usually very few people here, and the mountain road is difficult to walk. Look at this old man, his hand is shaking when he lights a fire. Can he really come here alone?
"My wife." The old man said, "We have been an old couple for decades, but she left earlier. In a blink of an eye, it has been decades."
"Oh, you came back from other places, right? You came here specifically to see your wife?" Lin Yu asked with interest, because he felt that this old man should be a rich man because of his well-dressed clothes.
"Haha." The old man just chuckled without saying a word.
"Old man, what is your wife's name? Why is there no word on this monument?" Liu Ying asked curiously.
"Because she is not buried here." The old man suddenly laughed and murmured: "She has been gone for decades. After she left, I scattered her ashes into the sea."
"Since then, I have been wandering around. Every time during the Qingming Festival or the end of the year, I will find a place to burn some paper for her anytime and anywhere. I feel that as long as she is in my heart, she can feel it no matter where I am."
"Oh, that's what the old man said." Liu Ying nodded and said with a smile, "How long will you live this year?"
"I can't remember clearly." The old man shook his head and said, "I've forgotten my birthday a long time ago when I got older. Haha, now I live for one year, so it's one year."
"That's true. As you get older, you can earn money by living one more day." Lin Yu nodded and sneered: "But I don't know if you have made arrangements in advance."
"Have you made any arrangements?" The old man raised his head, his weathered face looking a little surprised.
"Have you made arrangements? Who will burn paper for you and your wife on this day next year?" Lin Yu smiled.
"Young man, you need to know how to respect the old and love the young. If you disrespect me like this, you will get retribution in the future." The old man suddenly grinned. He looked up at Lin Yu and said, "You are someone who disrespects the elderly.
, you will go to the eighteenth level of hell if you die."
"That's not like you." Lin Yu smiled: "People whose hands are stained with blood will not only go to the eighteenth level of hell after death, but they will also be fried in a frying pan."
Liu Ying looked at Lin Yu with some surprise. In her impression, Lin Yu did not seem to be such a mean person. When she was confused, Lin Yu suddenly put an arm around her waist and quickly moved towards her.
