Flower Moon

Chapter 48 You are dead, I will not live alone
That night, Tao Yueer refused to go to bed no matter what she said, so she huddled alone on the tea table and rested all night.When she got up, she found that there was an extra quilt on her body, and Hua Ling had woken up at some point, sitting by the bed and reading a book.

This time, of course, it was a different book.

It's just that Tao Yue'er couldn't read, so she couldn't recognize that he was reading a different book.Otherwise, you must be curious, their luggage is only two bags in total, where did he get the book?
After leaving the inn, Tao Yueer took Hua Ling to the small noodle stall opposite to eat a bowl of Yangchun noodles.Although there were only a few green onions on the surface, but because the two of them were extremely hungry, it became a delicacy at this time.After eating, the two stepped on the bluestone slabs, walked through Bird Clothes Lane, walked across Liuyin Bridge, and finally left Jinling City.

The standard of living in Jinling City is higher than that in Jingcheng, and they can't stay here except for selling their looks.They can only go outside the city to settle the accommodation, and then return to the city to find work.

On the outskirts of Jinling City, the banks of the Qinhuai River are covered with green grass, and there are tea shops and pastry shops for tourists at every step and five o'clock, and the noise of people is noisy.But go two miles further, after leaving the official road, there are not many people.

The two walked up the hillside, and saw a flower garden suddenly appeared in front of them.The flower garden is surrounded by hillsides, and in the center of the basin, the green grass all over the mountains is replaced by pink flowers. The beauty is beautiful, but it is a bit strange.

"Master, what do you think that is?" Tao Yue'er pointed to a mottled bluestone slab in the center of the flower garden.

Hua Ling looked in the direction of her finger, and said calmly, "Go and see."

The sky was bright, and the two walked down the hillside. The closer they got, the clearer they could see. Surrounded by thousands of flowers, it was a tomb.

The tombstone is engraved with the word "Huazhong" in seal script. Although the monument is mottled, it is not dirty.It shows that this tomb has existed for a long time and has experienced the erosion of the years, but there is no shortage of people to pay homage to it.There are often people cleaning here, and the people in the tomb will not be lonely if they want to come.

After Hua Ling explained to Tao Yueer, Tao Yueer felt envious from the bottom of her heart: "She is so happy. She is buried in such a beautiful place, and people often visit her. She must have been a good person before she was alive. I also want to do more good deeds and take good care of her. You, when I get old like this, you can die for me."

The word 'to the end' seemed to have ignited Hua Ling, and he suddenly looked stunned, spoke harshly, and scolded: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Tao Yue'er was just making a joke, but Hua Ling's reaction made her very surprised.

Hua Ling's face was sombre, and her eyes were extremely cold. Tao Yue'er finally smoothed things over: "I just hope that when I die, I can find a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, and someone will guard my loess and bones." She looked at Hua Ling with burning eyes. Ling said bitterly: "I am nearly ten years older than you, and you are the only one who can see me die."

Hua Ling snorted coldly, but didn't answer.

Obviously, he wasn't happy.

"Of course, it's fine if you don't want to. I should have exposed corpses in the wilderness. I don't think there will be much use in the future. Let's live today." Tao Yue'er smiled bitterly, as if she was about to cry.

Hua Ling then sighed and said, "It's not that I don't want to see you die."

"Ok?"

"I never thought you'd die."

"Ah? But how can people not die? People will die one day."

"Let's talk about it when the time comes." Hua Ling said inscrutably, not wanting to discuss this topic any more.

Hua Ling walked ahead first, Tao Yueer looked at his back, and knew that she might have said the wrong thing again...

——Why does Hua Ling not want to talk about life and death?
—Oh, he must be underage.

When I was his age, I never thought about life and death.

Although at that time, I had already lost the March Flower Committee several times, I still felt that the future was bright and there were infinite possibilities.But... Forget it, what happened in the past, I can only sigh that good luck tricks people, it's fate.

Not to mention.

Tao Yue'er followed Hua Ling worriedly, all she could think about was that she would die of old age in the future, what should he do alone?
Should she take him back to Jinling and marry him a daughter-in-law as soon as possible?With his appearance, maybe he can be a good son-in-law?At least you don't have to worry about food and clothing, which is also a good idea.

Tao Yue'er thought about this, Hua Ling stopped suddenly.Tao Yue'er didn't pay attention and bumped into it.

"Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't look at the road..." Tao Yue'er held her nose and apologized.

Hua Ling turned back with a cold face, and said with a sneer, "Why, you still want to marry me?"

Tao Yueer was taken aback for a moment, her face turned red, "You're eavesdropping on my heart again!"

Tao Yueer was frightened and angry, but Hua Ling stared at her, how dare she be angry?

"I said, I won't take the initiative to listen, but your voice is too loud, I don't want to listen."

"All I think about is reality. I'm older than you, so I should always think further..."

Hua Ling's eyes became colder, and she interrupted: "You don't need to worry about my affairs, and I don't need others to take care of my affairs."

Hua Ling said, before Tao Yueer had time to interrupt, he continued: "If you die, I will not live alone. I will be buried together with you."

"..." Tao Yue'er suddenly opened her eyes wide and looked at him: "What you said, is it true?"

"Ah."

Hearing Hua Ling's affirmative reply, Tao Yue'er's eyes turned red again.

Ordinary as me, but so important in his eyes?
She never expected that Hua Ling's dependence on her had reached this point.

Hua Ling is a person who is as beautiful as the sky, and he still has a bright future, how can he die with him?She must make Hua Ling happy and live a healthy life, and help him find the goal of living in the future.On her shoulders, Hua Ling's future is still on her shoulders... She feels even more that she must pull herself together!

She wants to find a place and work four jobs!There are four shifts in the morning, noon and night, and it is okay to not sleep!

She can get up early to sell soybean milk, sew clothes for people at noon, go fishing in the afternoon, and pour night incense at night!
Tao Yue'er's heart was full of various calculations, and her thoughts diverged and far-reaching, but none of them was the main point.

Hua Ling felt a headache when he heard this, he sighed, frowned slightly, then turned around and walked quickly.

Out of sight is pure.

Leaving the flower mound, the world became green again, and a few steps further on, there was a forest. At this time, a woodcutter approached with firewood on his back. Tao Yueer couldn't help calling him: "Old man, do you know where the forest is?" Is there any shelter?"

The woodcutter wiped the sweat from his forehead, pointed to the forest and said, "There are several hunter's huts in the forest. I don't know where they are. You can find them by looking."

Tao Yue'er showed joy, and bowed to thank: "Thank you for your guidance, old man."

The woodcutter waved his hand and was about to leave when Tao Yue'er said again, "How dare you ask the old man again, who is buried in the flower mound ahead? Is there a tomb guard nearby?"

The woodcutter let out an "Ah" and said in surprise, "Huazhong? Did you see the Huazhong?"

Tao Yueer nodded blankly.His intuition told him that the old man's appearance obviously did not bode well for Huazhong.

"A sin..."
