fairy wife

As soon as the lid of the pot was lifted, a large cloud of white gas rose up all of a sudden.

The whole kitchen is filled with steaming steam and the rich aroma of the steamed meat.

Qiuqiu sat in front of the stove, filling the stove with firewood. She held her chin and tilted her head to look at the talented lady, her face was flushed by the fire in the stove.

The lady scholar picked up a piece of hot meat, blew on it, and stuffed it into Qiuqiu's mouth.

Qiuqiu was so hot that she couldn't breathe.

The steamed meat is marinated by Mrs. Xiucai herself. It is specially kneaded into the meat. It is steamed until it is crispy. You don't need to chew it, you can swallow it with your mouth shut.

The rain has stopped, and there is a sound of frogs in the distance.

Qiuqiu feels in a trance that she has returned to the past.

As if the separation in the middle had never happened, she was still living beside the scholar and his wife, under Cheng Huan's knees.

The couple made steamed meat, fried beans and loofah, and cooked a soup.

After the food was set, Xiucai raised his chopsticks first, and then the whole family started eating together.

Qiuqiu used to slander that a scholar likes to act like the head of the family. In fact, there are only a few people in the family. Who are you showing them to?

But now she felt that even the movement of Xiucai raising his chopsticks looked so kind.

The heat of the soup entered her eyes, and Xiuxiu's vision quickly blurred.

No one spoke at the table, not even my younger brother.

Everyone seemed to have infinite enthusiasm for the rice bowl in front of them, as if they had been hungry for days, the little brother's entire face was buried in the bowl.

The scholar lady's shoulders trembled slightly, and she took a big bite of the rice.

Qiuqiu picked up a large piece of crispy meat for her.The scholar lady swallowed the crispy meat with tears.

The scholar is still steady, but if you look carefully, you can see that his hand holding the bowl is trembling slightly.

Xiu Cai himself found out, and he quickly put the bowl back on the table.

When cleaning up the dishes, Qiuqiu helped Mrs. Xiucai clean up.Put all the used bowls and chopsticks in the basin, pour water into it, and the scholar lady will not let Qiuqiu intervene, and slowly brush each bowl by herself.

The scholar lady didn't talk much, she just told her to be obedient.Get along well with fellow students, never argue and get angry with others, when encountering a problem, give in one step at a time, don't be aggressive...

Xiuxiu took the clean bowls from the side and put them in the cupboard one by one.

"Have you kept the clothes I gave you?"

"Received."

The talented lady nodded: "I sewed a talisman into the collar of my clothes... I asked for it last month. It is said to be the most effective for blessing peace. I don't know if you are allowed to bring these things. If you believe in Bodhisattvas, you can It doesn’t matter if you wear it. If people in your area don’t believe in Bodhisattvas, don’t wear it, or it will bring disaster if people see it.”

"I see, mother."

Qiuqiu rested her head on the shoulder of the talented lady.

The talented lady said to her: "You are so grown up. You are still acting like a baby... Your brother will definitely laugh at you when he sees it..."

She raised her hand and wiped her eyes with her sleeve.Continue to wash the dishes.

"Can you...can you stay and sleep at night?"

"Ah."

The scholar lady smiled: "I tidy up your house every day, and I keep all your things. The quilt was just dried the day before yesterday..."

The house is small, but it is full of memories.

"Mom, will you sleep with me?"

The scholar lady touched her head: "Okay, mother will sleep with you. Come and sit down, mother will comb your hair."

Qiuqiu sat upright, and the scholar lady took out a wooden comb.Untie Qiuqiu's hair tie, and comb her hair smoothly.

"Longer."

The scholar lady's voice was unsteady.Qiuqiu didn't dare to look back.

After brushing their hair, they blew out the lamp, and both of them lay down.

The scholar's wife slept in the bed, and Qiuqiu slept outside the bed.

She didn't feel sleepy at all, and she didn't want to close her eyes.

She was breathing the familiar air, and the scholar's wife was lying next to her. In another room in the yard, the scholar and the younger brother had already slept, right?

Qiuqiu felt sad for a while.

God can play tricks on people.

She doesn't want to cultivate immortality or immortality at all, let alone the sense of accomplishment that transcends the laws of the world.

She just wanted to stay at home, safe and sound, with the family together.

Someone tapped lightly on the window.

Qiuqiu turned her head.

She knew who was outside the window.

I also know why this person is here now.

Qiuqiu gently turned over and sat up.

She stood in front of the bed, looking at the talented lady with infinite attachment.

There was another knock on the window.

Qiuqiu turned around and opened the door, and walked out.

The man stood outside waiting for her.

Qiuqiu walked out the door with him silently.

The bluestone road under the night reflects the moonlight, and there is a faint light flickering.

They walked forward step by step.

Home is also step by step away.

"Close your eyes."

Just like when she came here, Qiuqiu stretched out her palm again.

The sound of howling wind was heard again, and at the moment of weightlessness, Qiuqiu hugged the person in front of her tightly.

After a long time, the sound of the wind in my ear disappeared, and the man said softly, "It's done."

Qiuqiu didn't open her eyes: "Did I have a dream?"

The man didn't answer.

Qiuqiu opened his eyes.

She was still standing in Ziyu Pavilion, in her room.

Everything just now was really a dream, right?

But this dream is so real...

Qiuqiu suddenly remembered something, she turned around, her eyes flicked over everything in the room, and then walked over in two steps, and lifted the lid of the box just now.

collar, collar...

Qiuqiu fumbled all the way along the collar, and then her hands stopped.

Following the slit that was intentionally left unsewn, Qiuqiu took out a safety amulet made of yellow paper folded into a triangle.One end of the peace talisman is tied with a red string, and the knot is the auspicious button that scholar ladies are accustomed to tie.

Qiuqiu squeezed Ping An tightly.

not a dream...

Not a dream!

She turned to look at the man.

If what happened just now was just Qiuqiu's dream, how could the person in the dream tell Qiuqiu.What about things that even Qiuqiu herself doesn't know?

Only the scholar lady who sewed it in would know about this talisman, and just now, the lady scholar told her.

"Did I really go back just now? Am I dreaming?"

"No, it's not your dream." He said softly, "It's their dream."

It took Qiuqiu a little effort to understand the meaning of these words.

"I... entered their dreams?"

Isn't that what other people say about dreaming?

Did she see the scholar, the scholar's wife and younger brother in her dream?

Everything just now was so real, they ate together, and the scholar lady even combed her hair, the touch of combing teeth seems to still be on her scalp.

It was all a dream?

Is it a dream... or not.

Be it a dream or a reality.After all, they met once and talked a lot to each other.After the scholar lady woke up, how could she feel relieved because she had a good dream?

However, who can manipulate other people's dreams?

Master doesn't even have this ability, does he?And that day when Master came.He was in the room, but he was invisible, and the master didn't notice that there was another person in the room at all.

Does the leader have such a skill?Qiuqiu didn't know the head of the sect, but she always felt that the head of the sect should not be able to do this.

What kind of ability, what kind of cultivation is needed... Qiuqiu discovered that the longer it took.But she felt that she couldn't see the person in front of her more clearly.

Why does this person stay by her side?

Although she did not speak.But her expression and eyes have already revealed all her thoughts on her face.

"Don't worry." He sat down beside her: "Take your time, you will remember."

What do you remember?

Qiuqiu was extremely confused.

Did she really forget something important?

But, what if... what if he had admitted the wrong person?

Did he get lost with an important person, and then looked for her everywhere? He thought Qiuqiu was that person.

But what if not?

It's all good, these gentle and accommodating.None of it was for her.

Thinking of this, Qiuqiu suddenly panicked.

It would be fine if you never got it, but you got it.She will be sad if she sees and tastes the delicacy and then loses it.

"Stop thinking about it, rest, you still have a lot of things to do tomorrow."

Qiuqiu lay down in a daze and closed her eyes.

She shed a lot of tears just now, and now she feels her eyes are a little sour.

Before Qiuqiu raised his own hand, his cold fingers suddenly landed on her eyelids lightly.

Qiuqiu was slightly surprised.

He could feel Qiuqiu's eyeballs trembling uncomfortably.

"Go to sleep."

A faint cool breath came from his fingertips and penetrated into the tendons around the eyes.

The sour feeling gradually faded, and the comfortable feeling could not be expressed in words.

Qiuqiu asked him softly, "What's your name?"

After a while she heard him say, "I'm Shi'er."

The name sounds like a baby name.

Qiuqiu suddenly remembered something, and she held back her laughter.But the throbbing in his chest couldn't hide it from him.

"What are you laughing at?"

Qiuqiu coughed and cleared his throat: "You and your dragon must have a very good relationship. Your name is Shi'er, and his name is Huo'er...it sounds like two brothers."

His fingers moved away from Qiuqiu's eyes, and gently held one of her hands: "Really?"

"Ah."

Although this was making fun of him, Qiuqiu felt that he would not be angry.

In fact, he was really not angry, even Qiuqiu felt that he was laughing too.

What does he look like when he smiles?It must be better than when you don't smile, right?

And in the distant hometown of Qiuqiu, the scholar lady woke up from her dream.

She woke up smiling.

But after waking up, listening to her husband's regular snoring by the pillow, watching the moonlight coming in through the window.

She thought sadly, so...it was a dream.

As soon as she moved, the scholar beside her also woke up.

The two had been married for many years, and Xiucai asked her, "Do you want to relieve yourself?"

"No, do you want some tea?"

Both of them drank half a cup of warm tea, and the scholar lady said softly, "I just... dreamed about Qiu'er."

The scholar was a little surprised, and paused before saying, "Really? I... I also dreamed of her. I dreamed that she came home."

Both husband and wife were a little surprised, and they told each other about the dream, and it turned out that they were not bad at all.

The scholar lady couldn't sit still, she put on her clothes and went to her son's room, the son also woke up, he said he dreamed about his sister.

How could it be that all three members of the family had the same dream?

The scholar lady suddenly remembered something, she walked quickly to the room where her daughter used to live, the lights were not on, she fumbled on the table and grabbed the comb.

There are also two soft hairs wrapped around the comb.

She even tidied up during the day, and the comb was obviously clean.

In the dream, she used this comb to comb her daughter's hair.

The scholar lady grabbed the comb and couldn't help sobbing softly. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
