Chapter 1
2016 years.

early spring.

The drizzle is gurgling, like the boudoir waiting to be married, not in a hurry, but incessantly.

Occasionally there is a breeze, and the leaves rustle.

Tuk Tuk Tuk.

The donkey's hooves stepped on one small puddle after another, stained with muddy soil, and continued to walk forward.

An oilcloth umbrella hanging above his head, and a simple dark green Hanfu.

The figure of the woman sat on the black donkey, shaking it.

She tilted the oilcloth umbrella slightly, looked up at the cloudy sky without any sunlight, and opened her tightly closed lips.

It was a face with three-dimensional, delicate features and fair skin like jade. Even though there was no sense of whitewashing, it still looked like a Biren, like a fairy descended from heaven.

It's just that there is a rare look of sadness on this face, which makes people feel affectionate.

Sighing silently, she lowered her eyes and looked at the muddy dirt road ahead.

Ahead was a small village with only a few dozen families. On the stone tablet at the entrance of the village that we just passed by, the words [Zhaojiacun] were engraved.

Zhaojia Village is located at the foot of the mountain, which can also be said to be at the foot of the mountain in the mountain.

Surrounded by mountains, the traffic is blocked, as if isolated from the world.

But if it weren't for this weather, the scenery today must be as beautiful as usual.

Li Siyu thought about it truthfully.

Riding a black donkey, he walked into the village along the muddy road.

"Siyu, are you back?"

A few middle-aged women who were also wearing oilcloth umbrellas and dressed in rough clothes passed by, showing simple and honest smiles.

Li Siyu responded with a smile: "Yes, Aunt Zhang, where are you going?"

"Hey, isn't this your Aunt Li and her old man passed away yesterday? Let's go over and help today." Aunt Zhang showed regret, stopped and said, "Oh, tell me, this person is really fast, huh, if you don't say it, you won't." , I just felt that I had dinner with her couple two days ago, tsk tsk tsk."

"Who said it wasn't? Who would have thought that people were fine before, but they suddenly left. Oh, you said it's fine if you two leave together, and stay here. Isn't this suffering here?"

Immediately someone spoke up and said helplessly.

"Yeah." Li Siyu lowered his eyebrows, as if thinking of something, and didn't say anything.

Aunt Zhao also saw that she seemed to have something on her mind, and she didn't intend to continue the greetings: "By the way, Siyu, the rice cakes I made today, I'll ask my son to deliver them to you later."

"Go back quickly, I don't know when the rain will fall, go back quickly, don't get drenched."

Li Siyu nodded and continued to ride the black donkey forward.

Wait for her to walk a distance.

Aunt Zhang turned her head and stared at her back sitting on the black donkey. She wanted to say something, but in the end she only sighed.

"What a nice girl...why did you follow such a lazy bastard, alas."

"Don't say that, when Lao Zhang was alive, he was the great benefactor of our village. Without Lao Zhang's family, our village would not be able to escape the disaster that year."

"Old man Zhang is indeed a good man, he is his son... Well, he left some property, and let his son lose it all. Not only is he ruined, it is said that he owes a lot of money, I also heard Said that Siyu paid him back the money at that time."

"However, how did I hear that when his son was working in the city before, someone... spread rumors? It's okay, what kind of jade disease?"

"Hey, that's called depression. It's so evil. Once you get this disease, you don't like to talk. You just stay by yourself all day, and you say you want to die, you want to leave this world, etc. I see, this It’s just that I have nothing to do, just lay more land.”

"Ah, what else is there? Alas, old Zhangtou has committed a lot of sins in his previous life, and he has such a son in this life. Alas, Miss Siyu is really a pity."

"That's right, the old houses in our village were all repaired by Miss Siyu, and they even gave a share to those old people for cooking and so on. Where can I find such a good girl?"

"..."

While talking, several people walked forward holding tarpaulin umbrellas, the expressions of regret on their faces became heavier, and there was also a little bit of resentment and dissatisfaction.

……

Li Siyu, who was sitting on the black donkey, swayed, his beautiful eyes looked at the familiar road in front of him, and his thoughts diverged.

The spring rain was coming, and it fell on the oilcloth umbrella with a crackling sound.

Her crescent eyebrows frowned slightly, and emotions flowed in her eyes.

She is not a boudoir girl who is ignorant of the world, and she can also see the regret in the eyes of the old ladies who just passed by.

In the eyes of outsiders, it is indeed a pity that she followed Zhang Hao.

After all, Zhang Hao was incompetent and suffered from depression. He was bored at home all day long, drinking for company.

But she never regretted it, and never thought of leaving him.

Back then, Mr. Zhang of the Zhang family, Zhang Hao's father, saved the entire Zhao family village and even their family. He was their family's great benefactor.

Before his death, Mr. Zhang also personally said that he would let her take care of the only son of this family.

She agreed, and the moment she agreed, she had already made a decision for her own destiny.

Based on this alone, she will not leave Zhang Hao, nor will she be disturbed by others.

This is her life, and it is also what she owes to the Zhang family and Zhang Hao.

Thinking of this, the worry on her face dissipated a little.

Dang bang.

At this moment, the bell hanging around the black donkey's neck rang, interrupting her thoughts.

Slightly raised his head, looking at the quaint, dilapidated house that always reveals the ancient flavor.

The feet of the two stone lions at the door are covered with moss, and the surface has lost its luster. It has been placed here for many years and no one has cleaned it.

The plaque hanging on the gate, due to the erosion of wind, sand and rain all year round, has already lost its paint seriously, and there are many cracks on it.

This house is a house with three entrances and three exits, and it is the largest house in Zhaojia Village.

This is also the home she will stay in for the rest of her life.

"It's here..." She whispered softly, without any fluctuation in her tone.

It's like saying one more... common, but unchangeable thing.

After getting off the black donkey, she followed the steps to the door. She raised her arm as white as jade and pushed open the door.

Holding the black donkey with one hand, he covered the gate with the other.

Li Siyu stepped over the threshold and walked into the courtyard.

Rockery, grass, lush trees...

These only appeared in her memory.

In the current yard, the rockery is no longer there, the weeds in the grass can already reach the ankles, and the lush trees in memory have also withered and are about to die.

Li Siyu sighed silently, holding a tarpaulin umbrella, leading the black donkey, and continued walking forward.

Entered the second courtyard.

The same scene, almost the same grass, and withered trees.

Stepping on the stone road covered with bluestones, she frowned slightly, and her eyebrows lightly swept across the grass. There were some empty wine bottles looming, including beer, liquor, and foreign wine.

You can even see some food packaging bags in the grass, as well as some daily necessities that are no longer usable.

"Huh...ha...huh...ha..."

At this time.

In the main room not far in front of her, the doors were opened on the left and right, and even snoring sounds could be heard from the main room.
