After wearing the book, I became the mother of three villains

Chapter 82 What's the use in case?
Seeing him stop to look at the hairpin, Yao Shu knew that he probably wanted to buy it for her.

Just about to say that she has quite a few hairpins, including two or three sterling silver ones, so she doesn't need to buy any more, but when she actually walked up to the booth, Yao Shu was also taken aback for a moment.

Even though she had seen a lot of exquisite ornaments in modern times, when she saw the silver hairpin in front of the stall owner, she also felt that he had ingenious ideas, and the ornaments he made were as delicate as handicrafts.

Yao Shu couldn't help saying: "It's so beautiful."

The end of the hairpin is engraved with patterns, most of which are the most distinctive flowers of each season, and the carvings are extremely exquisite.

It's not that Lin Rong can't tell the difference between beauty and ugliness, it's just that he usually doesn't care about what he wears. Seeing that Yao Shu likes it, he whispers to her, "Go and pick one."

Just as Yao Shu was about to step forward, he remembered that Lin Roe didn't have any money left, so he took the opportunity to tease him: "What about picking one? You don't have the money to buy it for me."

Seeing her sly smile like a little fox, Lin Roe's eyes softened: "I have a way. Pick a hairpin to defend yourself."

Seeing that he actually focused on Fang, Yao Shu was speechless for a while, but the old man selling hairpins at the stall raised his head and looked at Lin Roe who had just spoken.

Lin Roe's voice was very low, and there was a distance between the two of them, but the elderly man did hear it.

Yao Shu walked to the booth and carefully looked at several kinds of beautiful silver hairpins, but he couldn't decide which one to choose.

The old man's hoarse voice sounded: "Girl, just pick one. Your husband is right, wear self-defense."

Seeing what the old man said, Yao Shu asked him curiously: "Old man, is that the purpose for you to polish the other end of the hairpin so sharply?"

The old man nodded: "Although silver is soft, if it is made into a hairpin and sharpened at one end, it is still somewhat useful under sudden exertion of force."

Yao Shu didn't know how to answer the conversation—she never thought that a hairpin maker would not think about how to make it look good, but how to use it for women's self-defense?

It was Lin Rong who spoke: "Old man, I wonder which general you used to be under?"

Yao Shu didn't notice it, but Lin Roe could see it at a glance. The old man was far away, but his hearing was sharp, and he could clearly hear the conversation between him and Yao Shu; Such a beautiful and detailed hairpin.

With good hearing and eyesight, and a tall and straight figure, he must have served in the army, and the number of years is not short.

The old man showed a smile, but shook his head: "My old friends are gone, it's useless to say more, you can guess that I was in the army, that's enough."

Lin Rao nodded without forcing it.

Yao Shu was still a little curious, so he asked the old man again: "Women are inherently weak, so you really thought a lot about making hairpins for self-defense. But how did you come up with this idea?"

There was nothing to be seen on the old man's expression, and even his eyes were always warm.

What I just said made people surprised when they heard it: "I have been in the army for many years, and I will go home every two years. If I can't go home because of the long distance, my wife will go to the town closest to the barracks a few days in advance, Meet me. More than ten years ago, at about the same early spring, my wife and I made an appointment to meet each other in a city, but she was late, and I didn't wait for a few days..."

"Later, I went out of the city to look for it, and asked all the way home, only to find out that half a month ago, there was indeed a woman traveling alone, who was forced by a coachman in the wild... The coachman escaped, and she was stained with blood, but it was not my own. Wife Finally, he bit his tongue, leaving a broken wooden hairpin on the ground."

"It took me a long time to find the driver, and I found that there was indeed a small scar on his neck, which was caused by a sharp object... I used the broken wooden hairpin from my wife to pierce the man's throat, avenged her."

"But for more than ten years, I have been thinking about it every day. If that day, the wife is not wearing a fragile wooden hairpin, but a pointed silver hairpin like this... With her bravery and determination, she would not be caught to misfortune."

The old man's tone was calm, and even the speed of his speech was unhurried, but under this calmness, Yao Shu felt a great sense of grief and sadness.

"I used my wife's favorite hairpin as a model, carved many silver hairpins, and sharpened one end of each."

Yao Shu's voice was tight, she bit her lower lip, and murmured: "You must love your wife very much."

The old hairpin seller shook his head with a smile, and said, "What do you love? I'm a rough person, so I don't know that. It's just that she doesn't feel it when she's here. When she suddenly leaves, I don't seem to have any expectations." It's gone. My heart is empty."

Yao Shu was silent, and gently picked up a silver hairpin carved with orchids.

Taking advantage of the bright sunlight at noon, Yao Shu discovered that there were two small lines of characters engraved on the thin hairpin.

She couldn't help but read out: "Lan Rao has not returned yet, the news is like a sea of ​​clouds..."

This poem was originally about missing a friend who left by boat, but the old man engraved the poem on the hairpin in memory of his deceased wife. Isn’t it just another way to express his deep love for his departed wife?

It's just that the news of his wife, even in a place so far away on the other side of the sea of ​​clouds, no longer exists.

Seeing Yao Shu in a daze, Lin Zhi whispered in her ear, "Ashu, your name and mine are in this poem."

She put the hairpin back on the stand, and looked back at him with sadness in her eyes: "Yes. But this poem is not a good poem."

Seeing that Yao Shu was sad, the old man said softly at the side: "Girl, you are a pure and kind child, don't think too much. When you met me today, you just picked up this hairpin, and it happened to be engraved on the hairpin. The names of the two of you. There are coincidences everywhere in life, but when all the coincidences come together, it is destiny. There are good and bad things in everything. Although the origin of this hairpin may not be a beautiful story, I believe that the two of you Sure to give the hairpin a happy ending. Take it, and I hope you never need it one day."

Lin Zhi nodded in gratitude: "Thank you."

Yao Shu also slowly took the hairpin into his hand, but said to the old man seriously: "You said the origin of the hairpin is not good, but I think this is the most beautiful story I have ever heard."

The old man smiled again, his eyes calm and gentle.

When Yao Shu left, he insisted on giving all the silver he had with him to the old man, and even Lin Rong gave away a jade pendant that looked quite precious.

Now the two of them didn't have any money left, besides, Yao Shu was not in the mood to go to the market anymore.She held the hairpin in her hand, but the old man's calm and kind words always echoed in her mind.

Yao Shu said to Lin Zhi, "You said...the old man is in so much pain, but why is he acting so calm?"

Lin Zhi pondered for a while, then said in a low voice: "Perhaps after the great grief, there is only peace and desolation left in his heart; maybe it is time, time has smoothed his longing and sorrow."

Yao Shu is a person who is easy to empathize with. Looking at the silver hairpin, he said slowly: "The old man said that he doesn't know what love is, but I clearly feel that he loves his wife very deeply."

Seeing that her usual bright face was stained with sadness, Lin Roe couldn't help saying: "Ashu, everyone has their own destiny, this may be what the old man said is destined. But, I will never let such a thing happen in the future On yourself."

Yao Shu gave a "hmm" and fell silent.

The two walked side by side for a certain distance, she slowly got rid of that sad mood, and suddenly remembered, she asked Lin Roe: "I just gave the old man so much money, why do you still want to give it? The jade pendant is not like an ordinary thing, you just gave it away, is it okay?"

Lin Zhi's eyebrows and eyes were gentle, and even the scar at the end of his eye was warm in the sun: "I agreed to buy it for you. The jade pendant was given to me by the general, and it is useless."

Yao Shu was a little helpless, but he could also understand the man's desire to give her something, so he just asked him: "Jade pendant is nothing else... What if it's useful?"

Who ever thought Lin Roe shook his head: "The usefulness is to make you panic."

The general didn't say anything when he gave him the jade pendant. He didn't say that it was very important, nor did he say that he should dispose of it at will.But Lin Roe believes that there is nothing more important than Yao Shu nowadays.

If he could buy her the hairpin with a jade pendant, he would naturally give it up without hesitation.

Yao Shu knew that men had this kind of character, so he let go of the topic, but thought in his heart that next time he went to Buzhuang, he would trouble shopkeeper Liu to come and help her buy the jade pendant back from the old man.

The two originally planned to go home after eating in the town, but now they had no money left, so they had to go back home.

On the return trip, Lin Rong was still driving.
