Chapter 1069: Sincerity leads to spiritual success (Fourth update)
"Then may I ask where you are from? Where do you live?" she asked again.
Luo Fengtang glanced at the woman, but he saw no hostility in her eyes.
Full of kindness and care.
Luo Fengtang also put down his guard, smiled and said: "To be honest, I am from Daqi, and I live in Wanghai County, Qing'an County, Changhuaizhou."
"Oh..."
The woman nodded slightly.
After searching carefully in my mind for the people I knew, there was Da Qi.
That area in Wanghai County... seems... never heard of it.
Beside Luo Fengtang, Yang Ruoqing walked quietly.
She said nothing during the entire journey and listened the whole time.
She discovered something very interesting.
That is this woman, who seems to be very interested in Luo Fengtang.
I was constantly looking for topics to talk to Luo Fengtang along the way.
But from the woman's eyes, what Yang Ruoqing felt was not evil or bad things.
It is a kind of appreciation and tolerance from the bottom of my heart.
It's like an elder patiently asking something to his junior.
As for Luo Fengtang, it is even more interesting.
In the past, he had almost nothing to say to other women in the village.
Even if I am with my mother-in-law, Mrs. Sun, there will be no more than three rounds of questions and answers.
But at this moment, he was able to ask and answer questions about this woman whom he had just met once.
He seemed a little reserved at first, but later under the guidance of the woman, he seemed to get into the mood.
I relaxed and started talking. I talked several times more than usual.
It gave Yang Ruoqing an illusion.
It feels like the two of them have known each other for a long time.
No matter how far the road is, there is an end.
“I’m here.”
The woman stopped and looked at a big tree in front of her.
The smile on her face disappeared little by little.
The whole person stared blankly at the big tree, and then slowly walked towards it.
Luo Fengtang and Yang Ruoqing looked at each other. They did not go over, but stood there, chasing the woman with their eyes.
I saw the woman coming under the big tree and slowly squatting down.
She opened the wooden box she brought, took out various offerings from it, and lined them up under the tree.
Then he took out a bunch of clothes and gold ingots tied with paper, lit them, and put them in an empty bowl.
She didn't say anything, she just squatted there quietly, watching the contents of the empty bowl burn to ashes.
Pieces of black ashes were blown up by the wind and floated into the sky of the canyon.
Like black dead leaf butterflies.
The woman raised her head, her eyes chasing the flying ashes.
Two lines of clear tears flowed down her pale cheeks.
When the last spark was extinguished, she still squatted quietly on the spot, motionless.
It's like becoming a statue.
Although she didn't say anything.
However, this pain and sadness spread to the hearts of the two here.
Luo Fengtang and Yang Ruoqing exchanged glances, and both of them saw the same guess in each other's eyes.
This woman is dressed in plain clothes and wears white flowers.
I really came here to pay homage to my old friend.
Hey!
Luo Fengtang thought about his own affairs and became depressed.
At some point, the woman returned to them.
Looking at the silent young man and woman, the woman was secretly pleased with their understanding.
A self-deprecating wry smile appeared on her lips, "Are you confused about my behavior?"
"Huh?" Luo Fengtang raised his head and looked at the woman.
The woman smiled faintly, with a touch of sadness in her eyes.
She turned sideways and pointed to the big tree over there.
“Many years ago, my relatives and I passed by here, and something suddenly happened under that big tree.”
"My relatives were far away from me in that incident." "But I couldn't even save his bones..."
"Today is the anniversary of his death. On this day every year, I come here to take a look.”
“He left so suddenly that I didn’t even have the chance to build a tomb for him, haha...”
The woman smiled, but tears welled up.
"Madam, don't be too sad. You came to pay homage. I believe he will be able to feel it in the spirit of heaven." Luo Fengtang comforted him.
What happened to this woman reminded him of his mother.
Back then, my mother gave birth to him in this canyon.
Because there were pursuers, my mother gave the newly born son to Luo Laoer for him to take away.
What about herself?
Can a woman who has just given birth to a child be trapped in such a canyon, surrounded by pursuers and horse thieves, survive?
Luo Fengtang felt despair in his heart.
"Madam, if you burn incense here, can you sense the souls lost here?"
Luo Fengtang suddenly asked.
The woman was startled.
She shook her head: "To be honest, I don't know. In the final analysis, what I did was just to soothe my heart."
"But this girl said it. Presumably, maybe, she can sense it. ?”
Luo Fengtang then looked at Yang Ruoqing.
Yang Ruoqing also saw the sadness in his heart at this moment.
"Sincerity leads to spiritual success." She raised her hand and gently held his hand.
"Whatever you want to do, just do it." She added.
Luo Fengtang nodded.
He turned around and walked aside and squatted down.
Take out from his arms the two cakes that he packed back to make dry food and put them on the ground.
He took off the water bottle from his waist and sprinkled it on the ground.
Finally, he knelt down.
Putting his hands on the uneven gravel road, he buried his head and kowtowed three times to the place where the cakes were placed.
Yang Ruoqing also came over.
Kneel down next to him, imitate his example, kneel down and kowtow.
Luo Fengtang’s mother-in-law is her mother-in-law.
Never met.
However, she was pregnant with Luo Fengtang for ten months, and at the critical moment of her life, she spared no effort to send him away safely.
She, Yang Ruoqing, recognized this mother-in-law.
His forehead hit the ground.
Thank you, thank you for bringing such a wonderful Luo Fengtang to me.
If you sleep here forever, you can rest in peace.
I will take good care of him.
If you are not dead, please ask God to give you some hint, so that your mother and son can be reunited as soon as possible...
"Qing'er, get up."
Luo Fengtang's voice reached her ears, and her arms were lifted up by his strong hands.
He removed a few grass clippings from her hair.
"My mother will definitely feel it when she feels it." He whispered.
"Yeah." Yang Ruoqing nodded.
At this time, the woman came to the two of them.
"You are a pair of good and filial children." she said.
"Thank you for your kindness. Please keep this jade pendant."
She handed a crystal clear jade pendant to Luo Fengtang.
"My home is in Shangjing. If you go to Shangjing in the future, remember to come to me with this token."
Luo Fengtang pinched the jade pendant in his hand.
"Madam, this jade pendant is too valuable, I can't have it..."
The woman smiled and shook her head.
"Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. You have to afford it."
