Daiyu of the Red Chamber

Chapter 36 Linmen Jia’s funeral in Yangzhou (3)

The newborn child died within two hours.At this time, Jia Min was still in a coma.Although Huang Jiyun applied the needles again and again, the bleeding did not stop completely.At night, Jia Min's face became paler, almost transparent.

Huang Jiyun looked at Daiyu, whose eyes were full of tears, and then looked at Lin Ruhai, who was full of hope. He frowned and sighed, "Ms. Fang's wife woke up when I gave the needle. If you have anything to say, hurry up and say it." Huang Jiyun I feel that I have sighed more times this day and night than in the past few decades, and my brows are almost wrinkled.But I also feel helpless in my heart, life is so fragile.

Lin Ruhai knew that Huang Jiyun had tried his best, and if he could say this, at least in Yangzhou City, he was helpless.Then he nodded gently, and couldn't help but two tears flowed down his cheeks.Daiyu didn't seem to hear anything, she just stared blankly at Jia Min.

After Huang Jiyun went down with a few needles, he got up and turned out without taking the needles.After a while, Jia Minfang woke up faintly.Seeing this, Lin Ruhai quickly wiped away the tears on his face, squeezed out a smile and said, "But I'm awake." He held Jia Min's cold hand, and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work." Unable to say anything, I had to hold back my tears and look at Jia Min.

Jia Min opened his eyes and looked around, but Lin Ruhai couldn't hear what he was talking about, so he had to put his ear close to her lips to hear her repeatedly talking about the child.Lin Ruhai almost couldn't help shedding tears, and quickly looked at the ceiling of the tent with red eyes.

Daiyu seemed to have returned to her soul at this time, and crowded beside Jia Min.Seeing Lin Ruhai like this also shed tears and did not speak.As if he wanted to engrave Jia Min in his heart.Daiyu knew that she might not be able to avoid this catastrophe...

Jia Min repeated it many times before he heard Lin Ruhai say: "The child is too young", "It was a bit damaged when it was born", "Ji Yun is watching now", "Don't worry, take care of yourself" are almost a sentence. , but when he heard that Huang Jiyun was treating the child, Jia Min seemed relieved, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.

Seeing the serene expression on Jia Min's face, Daiyu knew that Lin Ruhai had coaxed Jia Min, and she didn't say anything, just squeezed forward, and Lin Ruhai held her in his arms with one hand, and supported Jia Min's hand with the other. , The family just snuggled together like this, no one spoke, and even breathed lightly.

Jia Min seemed to understand something, and suddenly grabbed Daiyu's hand propped on the side of the bed.This action made her out of breath immediately, but she didn't dare to wait, so she panted and said to Lin Ruhai, "Take care of Yu'er!" Lin Ruhai was startled by her sudden action, but Daiyu lowered her head He bowed his head and secretly shed tears.

Seeing the expressions of Lin Ruhai and Daiyu, Jia Min became more and more certain in her heart. With great difficulty, she stuffed Daiyu's soft little hand into Lin Ruhai's hand, looking firmly at Lin Ruhai's eyes and repeated: "Take care" "Ok! "Yu'er!" The short five words were divided into three sentences by Jia Min, and he tried his best in each sentence.After saying these three sentences, Jia Min just looked at Lin Ruhai steadfastly, and Lin Ruhai hurriedly said softly: "You are well, don't think too much, ah~" The voice was very soft, like a thread slipping through the fingertips. My son's cloud.

Jia Min still stared at Lin Ruhai motionlessly, but Lin Ruhai couldn't hold on anymore, tears streaming down his face.He closed his eyes and nodded quietly.Seeing Lin Ruhai nodded, Jia Min seemed to have fulfilled his last wish, as soon as he let go of Daiyu's hand, Jia Min slipped quietly.

It wasn't until Jia Min's last tear dripped from the corner of her eye that Daiyu burst into tears.But at this time, Jia Min has closed his eyes forever.She didn't mention a word about the newborn child that Huang Jiyun is said to be treating, she didn't mention a word...

For a moment, Lin Ruhai felt that the whole world was silent. He couldn't hear Daiyu's hoarse cry, and just looked at Jia Min who was peacefully lying on the bed like that, as if she was just asleep.He didn't dare to make any noise, for fear of disturbing her sleep, she knew that Jia Min had always been a light sleeper.

Until Chen Nanny, Sun Nanny, Qi Luo, etc. who were guarding the outside room...everyone heard Daiyu's heart-piercing cry, and everyone understood that Jia Min had gone...Qi Luo and others They all cried out at once, they have been by Jia Min's side since they were very young, although they are masters and servants, Jia Min really treats them well.Grandma Sun fainted even more. It was a child she brought up with her own hands and nursed by herself. She watched her grow up, got married, and became a mother, but Grandma Sun never thought about it. Will watch her go one day...

Daiyu didn't know when she passed out, and when she woke up, it was already dark.It was as if everything was a dream, a nightmare.But soon, the dull breath in the air told Daiyu that all this was not a dream...Jia Min, just like her mother in her previous life, left her and never came back!At this time, she was not in the mood to think, the wheel of fate in the Red Mansion turned there, she was not in the mood to recall, the plot of the Red Mansion she had seen in her previous life, she lay blankly on the bed, letting the tears wet her temples and wet her hair. pillow cover...

At this moment, Daiyu is no longer the smart and clever Daiyu, she is just a child who lost her mother... heartbroken, hesitant, helpless... When Jin'er came to see her, she just stared blankly at the top of the bed , with empty and dull eyes.How can Jin'er hold back?Holding Daiyu's small body in her arms, she cried, "Cry out, girl, don't scare me, you, cry out! Cry out!"

Hearing Jin'er's voice, with a smile, Zhixuan, Linglan, Shinan, and others all entered the room, but Qinghe, Xueyan, Jichun, and Yinglian who could not enter the room also stood by the door. .Even Aunt Luo and Nanny Yang came in and sat beside Daiyu's bed.

Seeing Daiyu's expression filled with grief, Aunt Luo managed to regain her composure and said, "Don't be like this, Yu'er." After she said only one sentence, she couldn't stop crying. Nanny Yang sighed and said, "Your mother, go Yes, there are still many things waiting for you, don't you want to just lie on the bed like this? Don't you go see her off? "

After listening to Yang Nanny's words, Daiyu rolled her eyes, stared at it for a long time before she seemed to react, and suddenly she broke away from Jin'er's embrace and stood up.Without wiping away her tears, she only took a few deep breaths before hoarsely saying, "Groom me."

Everyone knew that Daiyu was sad, and they were all afraid that slow movements would make her unhappy.Jin'er also silently helped Daiyu to get up, got out of bed, took out the linen filial piety clothes she had just made and put them on Daiyu, combed Daiyu's hair, tied a white linen strip, Zhixuan and others He also fetched water silently, washed Daiyu's face and wiped her hands.

Daiyu remained silent from the beginning to the end, until everything was tidied up, she squatted deeply at Nanny Yang and said, "There are many things Lin Hui doesn't understand, please teach me!" Seeing Daiyu like this, Luo My aunt's distressed tears fell down like a broken thread, but she covered her mouth and dared not cry out.

Nanny Yang also helped Daiyu up with red eyes and said, "Silly boy, don't be afraid, there is a nanny!" After speaking, she held Daiyu in her arms and patted her on the back lightly. He didn't resist, just stayed quietly in Yang Nanny's arms, and listened to Yang Nanny whispering: "Well, it's the greatest comfort to your mother. Don't be afraid of anything, Nanny is with you." After finishing speaking, Yang Nanny pulled Daiyu away to look up and down, then took her hand and went forward.

After going out the door, Daiyu only felt that she had entered the ice cave for a moment, everywhere was plain white, door curtains, curtains, lanterns, clothes, shoes and socks that she was wearing up and down, but she couldn't see other colors.

Silently, Daiyu was led by Nanny Yang and came to the coffin shed that had already been built.The mourning hall is deserted, only Qiluo, Ruizhu, and Lv'e are guarding.When Daiyu came in, the three of them turned their heads, but Daiyu didn't speak, she walked straight to the dark coffin, and put her face on it.

Jin'er anxiously wanted to step forward to help Daiyu, but was blocked by Yang Nanny.Daiyu just put her face on the coffin quietly, without moving, as if she was sure she would never hear Jia Min's voice again, so she stood up.He walked to the left side of the coffin and knelt down slowly.Silently accepting the paper money handed over by Qi Luo.

When Lin Ruhai arrived, he saw such a scene: Nanny Yang and Aunt Luo stood not far from Daiyu, looking at her worriedly; , kneeling opposite Daiyu; Daiyu bowed her head and knelt on the left hand side of Jia Min's coffin, quietly burning paper money one by one.Except for the occasional sound of candles cracking, the entire mourning hall was completely silent.

Lin Ruhai stood outside the mourning hall for a while before walking in with red eyes.Seeing that it was Lin Ruhai, everyone squatted down and retreated. Aunt Luo looked at Daiyu worriedly, then at Lin Ruhai before sighing and retreated.

Daiyu raised her head to look at Lin Ruhai after everyone withdrew.But at that moment, her eyes, which she thought she had dried up from crying, became moist in an instant.Lin Ruhai lost a lot of weight overnight, his bloodshot eyes were sunken, his lips were gray and white, and he was wearing a fine cotton gown that was called smoky gray in his previous life. The whole person looked like a white sweat towel around his waist , there is only half-white hair that dazzles people's eyes.

Whether it is Lin Yao in the previous life or Daiyu in this life, they have never thought that there is really a white hair overnight in this world.And Lin Ruhai's hair, which only had a little silver strands yesterday, turned out to be more than half white overnight!Daiyu's heart was tightened in an instant, as if she wanted to be strangled by something, it was painful.At this moment, Lin Ruhai, what should I say to comfort her?Daiyu opened her mouth but couldn't make any sound, because she didn't know what the old father who lost his son and wife would use to fill his sad heart.

Lin Ruhai saw Daiyu looking at him quietly like that, her chapped lips moved, but she didn't hear any sound from her.I couldn't help feeling a sudden pain in my heart!Is this still his smart and dexterous daughter?Is this still his pretty and lovely daughter?Could it be that, after losing his beloved wife and young son, he still wants... No!He couldn't lose his only daughter!

Thinking of Lin Ruhai, he strode over and looked down at Daiyu, his deep eyes became extremely gentle at this moment, full of love.Taking a deep breath, Lin Ruhai's hoarse voice sounded above Daiyu's head: "Your mother is gone. You are the most concerned thing before she leaves." Lin Ruhai looked at the withered daughter in front of her while talking, and continued with heartache Said: "At that time, all she said was that she wanted to take good care of you for her father."

Hearing this, Daiyu raised her head suddenly, her eyes filled with tears, but they didn't fall. She was beside her at that time, and she really heard it.Without waiting to think about it, Lin Ruhai continued to say, "Father is old, and one day he will see your mother." Before Lin Ruhai finished speaking, Daiyu stood up suddenly and rushed towards Lin Ruhai, tiptoed and reached out to cover Lin Ruhai's mouth, eyes full of tears. It's all fear.

Lin Ruhai bent down and hugged her tightly in his arms, and said softly: "Don't let Weifu break your promise to your mother, Weifu promised to take good care of you." Lin Ruhai felt Daiyu trembling in his arms , and then said: "You have to be good."

Daiyu nodded in Lin Ruhai's arms, and said sullenly, "Father must be well too. Stay with Yu'er and miss mother together." After she finished speaking, she felt Lin Ruhai's tears dripping down her neck, Not cold, scorching hot!
