In Qin Li's dream, heavy rain fell for more than ten days.
Then, one midnight with thunder and lightning, the mountains on the tea farm suddenly collapsed like a flood, burying all the houses built by the lake.
He knelt in a pile of mud and rocks, digging out the people trapped inside with his bare hands. He dug out many people, but they were all dead.
Finally, he dug out an immature fetus with its limbs missing and its skull broken.
He was so heartbroken that he could neither cry nor shout. His hair turned white in an instant. Not long after, his aunt also died.
He is the only one left in this world.
He shuddered and woke up suddenly. He looked at the time and it was past three o'clock.
He closed his eyes again, his mind filled with thoughts of his dream.
He took a deep breath, wiped the tears from his face, put on his clothes, and went to fetch water from the mountain stream behind the house.
Qin Qiuniang, who had not slept all night, heard him get up and also got up quietly.
She took out a wooden box from the kang cabinet, put it in her arms, and walked out of the bedroom and yard.
She walked all the way to the back mountain with a cane and stopped in front of a collapsed land temple.
She opened the box, took out three incense sticks, lit them and stuck them into the ground, then bowed three times in succession, and finally threw out a pair of black bull horns in her hands.
"Ha, ha ha, ji, ji!"
She threw the digits three more times in disbelief, and all of them were auspicious.
She kowtowed repeatedly with joy, "God has opened his eyes, God has opened his eyes!"
At this time, Qin Li took out a thick coat and put it on her, then helped her up. "Grandma, do you believe what Xiao Tan said?"
"When I first came back, I told them there was indeed a disaster that was difficult to avoid. I thought it would happen in Beijing, but I didn't expect it to happen in the tea mountains."
Qin Qiuniang put away the horns and paused for a moment before continuing.
"Today's three divinations are all auspicious, indicating a turnaround from danger to safety. I think it was Tan Nier's lucky mouth that saved them from disaster. We must thank her from now on."
"You seem so happy. How do you know it's her credit?"
"I know you don't believe it, but it's better to believe it than not to believe it." Qin Qiuniang patted Qin Li's hand. "What do you think of Tan Nier's words?"
Qin Li helped her walk down the mountain, his thick black eyebrows tightly knitted together.
"Whether it's true or not, the house on the farm is no longer habitable. I have over 2,000 yuan in my pocket.
After the New Year, I asked Party Secretary Fang to allocate a piece of land outside Kaoshan Village to build a brick and tile courtyard for them."
Qin Qiuniang said sternly, "You can't be involved in this matter. Let Song Che find Meixiang. She's a kindhearted girl. As long as she's willing to help, the move will be a success."
"Well, I know. That little girl revealed the secret. Will there be any backlash?"
When Qin Li said this, there was a hint of sarcasm in his tone.
Deep down, he didn't believe what the old beggar said. What about tea spirits and anger? Those were all feudal cancers and lies to deceive people.
"You clearly don't believe it, yet you're worried about her. She heard it from someone else, so how can you say she's leaked the secret?"
Qin Qiuniang glared at him, still worried about Chen Tan. "I heard that Tan Nier gave birth in the hospital. Go find out her date of birth. I want to see her horoscope."
If her fortune is weak, she will find something to press it down.
"Okay, I'll go find her after the New Year. I wanted to find an opportunity to tell her about what happened in the mountains so that she wouldn't think we were on guard against her, but now..."
Qin Li seemed to be hesitant to speak. He didn't know whether Chen Tan was like the others, looking down on them and even more so on what they did.
In the end it brought them disaster.
"Hey, don't be angry about what she said. Shui Jun is right. She also heard it from the old beggar. It's not that she dislikes the people of Chashan. I believe she won't tell anyone if she knows it."
"I'm not angry. I'll tell her after the New Year."
Qin Li touched his nose guiltily. When he heard her talk about those people last night, he felt really chilled in his heart.
Later I thought about it and realized that she grew up in such an environment, so it was inevitable that she would follow the crowd and her vision was not broad enough.
It was his fault. In the future, he should talk more about the outside world and let her understand that some things should not be judged by appearances.
"You decide for yourself," Qin Qiuniang looked up at the rising sun in the east, "The weather is nice today, take her to the city for a walk and buy her some nice things."
"Yes, sir!"
"Go back."
Chen Tan collapsed from exhaustion yesterday, and she hadn't woken up yet when they returned home.
Qin Li walked into the room and looked at the face sleeping sweetly on the pillow. Her skin was as smooth as a baby's and her lips were as bright as peach blossoms in March. His eyes were full of doting.
He raised his hand and twisted her nose, "Girl, get up, I'll take you to the county town."
"Hmm..." Chen Tan shook his head, "Brother, are you back?"
"Silly girl, you must have slept like a fool. I went back last night. It's five in the morning now. Hurry up and get up and eat. I'll take you to buy a bicycle."
"Well, you go out first, I'll get dressed."
Chen Tan sat up holding the quilt, stretched out his arms and yawned uncontrollably.
She was wearing an autumn sweater made of white cotton with blue flowers. It had a round neckline and a pink and white bra underneath, like two little buns.
Qin Li was tall. When he lowered his eyes to look at her, his gaze accidentally caught sight of the two little kids. The tips of his ears instantly turned red. He turned and walked towards the door, "Hurry up."
"good."
Chen Tan woke up, quickly put on his clothes, and went to the bathroom where hot water was already prepared.
She cleaned up and went to the kitchen, where the meal was served.
It was a noodle dumpling soup with ham slices in it, and also a plate of pancakes stuffed with sauerkraut and meat.
Today, she was still wearing the same outfit as yesterday, a pink tweed suit with leather cotton shoes, and she also wore the watch Qin Li bought for her. She exuded the brightness and romance of a young girl.
The color of the burn scars on her face became lighter and lighter, and could not be seen unless she lifted her hair.
Qin Li looked at her, a smile slowly spreading along the corners of his lips, and his heart seemed to be floating in a sea of flowers in April, sweet.
"Tan Nier, come and have dinner," Qin Qiuniang looked at her with a smile, "Qin Li made some money this year, let him buy you a few more things you like."
Chen Tan smiled faintly, and a trace of resentment suddenly arose in his heart, "Don't bother big brother, I have money."
I don't want his things.
"Silly child, save your money and let Qin Li buy it for you. If you don't want to spend his money, he will spend it on others in the future. You will cry."
"I'm not a crybaby. When my eldest brother marries his eldest sister-in-law, if he doesn't have enough money, I'll lend it to him."
She was still upset that Qin Li didn't protect her last night.
I decided to suppress my heart that was almost lost, make good money in the future, and try to leave as soon as possible without being attached to anyone.
As soon as she finished speaking, the happy smiles in Qin Qiuniang and Qin Li's eyes froze on their faces.
They also began to think in their hearts, what should they do if she insisted on leaving this home?
put?
Still not letting go?
