Chapter 285 Peeping into Her Soul
Chapter 285 Peeping into Her Soul
The autumn evening breeze is bright and cool, and the full moon hangs high in the sky, as if covering the entire Wushan Village with a layer of dreamy silver gauze.
Lin Ting raised his head slightly, looked at the bright moon, and said softly, "The moon is so beautiful tonight."
The two held hands and walked aimlessly towards the end of the village. Shen Qingzhou's eyes were always on Lin Ting, and a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"No matter how beautiful the moon is, it is not as beautiful as you."
Lin Ting's heart beat faster and she wanted to shake off his hand, but how could Shen Qingzhou let her go so easily?
"Shen Qingzhou, sweet words come easily to you now."
Shen Qingzhou stopped and looked at her: "These are not sweet words, but my true feelings. Every moment with you is incomparably precious to me."
When the love was deep, Shen Qingzhou looked at Lin Ting affectionately.
"That's great, my lady. Thank you for not giving up on me."
Shen Qingzhou recalled the past. He was just a disabled man with two legs, but Lin Ting had special skills, courage and knowledge. She could just leave.
But she didn't do that, nor did she give up on him, the burden. From the moment she said she would treat him, he decided that he would never let Lin Ting lose in this life.
"Shen Qingzhou, what are you thinking? You are my daughter's father, of course I will not give up on you."
"Is he just the father of his daughter?"
"of course not!"
Lin Ting blurted out these words!
Shen Qingzhou knew that Lin Ting's feelings for him were no longer as indifferent as they were at the beginning.
He took Lin Ting's hand and kissed the back of her hand gently.
"My lady, stay with me and never leave, okay?"
There was a barely perceptible sadness in his eyes, and Lin Ting didn't even understand what he meant by this sentence.
"Yeah! I won't leave."
Under the old locust tree at the end of the village, Shen Qingzhou quietly held Lin Ting in his arms, as if he had finally grabbed a rope in the abyss and was unwilling to let go even if he tried his best.
He hugged her so tightly that Lin Ting had difficulty breathing.
"Shen Qingzhou, you're hugging me so hard that it hurts."
Shen Qingzhou relaxed his arms. He was so happy today, but why did he feel melancholy now?
"What's wrong with you? You've passed the imperial examination, but you're still not happy?"
Lin Ting didn't think about anything else, he just felt that he got what he wanted and was drunk.
"Happy!"
His phoenix eyes were fixed on Lin Ting, as if he wanted to peek into her soul through her skin.
He had never been like this before. It seemed he had drunk too much.
The cool autumn wind quietly blew away the drunkenness of the two people. Sitting under the old locust tree, Lin Ting rested his head on Shen Qingzhou's strong shoulders.
"Shen Qingzhou, you passed the Lieyuan exam. The Spring Examination will be held next spring. Have you thought about your future path?"
Imperial examinations are the only way for ordinary people to enter officialdom, and Shen Qingzhou is no exception, but what he wants to do is to build the country and protect his family.
"Well! Every man has his share of responsibility for the fate of his country. While in Dongxia, we must not be greedy for the present peace and stability."
Shen Qingzhou has read so many books, and what he sees is far higher than what ordinary people see.
As for the current Dongxia Kingdom, if it does not make changes, it will be swallowed up by Xiluo in at most twenty years.
If a country is weak, it will have no home. If it really comes to that, what will happen to Lin Ting and his family?
Now taxes are increased every year, and the people are suffering terribly. Countless people freeze to death every winter.
How long can this kind of stability, which is gained by taking food from the mouths of the people and paying tribute to Xi Luo, last?
"Shen Qingzhou, go forward boldly. You are not alone. You still have me."
Hearing Lin Ting's sincere words, Shen Qingzhou's heart seemed to be gently touched by a gentle hand, and a warm current quickly spread from the bottom of his heart to his whole body.
His throat was choked and his eyes were stained with moisture.
Even Lin Ting herself didn't know that Shen Qingzhou would treasure deeply the touching feeling of her promise.
……
At the hour of Yin, the lung meridian of the human body is in operation. Shen's mother had not slept all night, her heartbeat quickened, and her chest felt like it was blocked by something.
She couldn't scream, so she could only pull the wheelchair next to her and hit her wooden bed, making a noise in the hope that someone would hear it.
When he got tired of knocking, he would rest for a while and then continue. This went on for more than an hour.
At the hour of Mao, when Liu Shiying got up and was about to go to the toilet, she heard a sound coming from the west wing, and she hurried to see.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw Shen's mother lying on the ground in the dim light of the rising sun outside.
"Aunt, why did you fall off the bed? Are you feeling unwell?"
Liu Shiying was fat and strong. He picked up the thin Shen's mother and put her back on the bed without noticing the anxiety in Shen's mother's eyes.
"Oh, Auntie, can't you just sleep well? Look at you, how dirty you are!"
Liu Shiying complained that the new clothes and bed sheets she had just changed for Shen's mother yesterday were now soiled by her.
"Do you want to go to the toilet?"
Mother Shen shook her head and babbled something, but no one could understand what she was saying. With trembling hands, she pointed at herself with difficulty, then at the door.
"Aunt, are you feeling unwell? Are you having an illness?"
Liu Shiying felt that something was wrong with Shen's mother. Was she really going to die?
"Brother Shen Zhu...Brother Shen Zhu, Shen Zhuang, Shen Cong, you guys come here quickly, your grandma is dying."
After Liu Shiying put Shen's mother down, he quickly ran to the door to call for help. Upon hearing this, several men in the house suddenly got up from their rooms.
"What did you say? My mother is dying."
Shen Zuxiong felt nervous and thought this was going to be serious. He immediately ran into the house to see Shen's mother.
"Shen Zhuang, go call your third uncle and his family over and tell them that your grandma is dying."
"it is good!"
Shen Zhuang turned around and ran out. Shen Cong also followed Liu Shiying into Shen's mother's room. The room was too dark, so he lit an oil lamp.
Several people walked to Shen's mother and saw her face clearly in the light. She stared at Zhang Zhe with her eyes sunken in the bones.
Several people lit oil lamps, and considering what Liu Shiying had just said, when they looked over, they were met with a pair of cloudy big eyes, which scared them so much that their souls almost left their bodies.
"Ah... there's a ghost..."
The three of them retreated repeatedly. If looks could kill, Liu Shiying would have been badly beaten to a pulp by Shen's mother.
Mother Shen closed her eyes in anger, then opened them and blinked. Because she was so angry, her body seemed to have become stronger.
"Bitch...people..."
Mother Shen was still alive. Brother Shen took another step forward to confirm that she was indeed alive and not dead.
He patted his chest: "Mom, are you okay?"
Mother Shen was not feeling well. She felt a tightness in her chest and wanted to go to the main house to check. For some reason, she always felt that something bad would happen if Shen Jizu locked herself in the main house.
She was worried and wanted to go and check. She hadn't heard any movement from Shen Jizuren since yesterday.
In addition, Xu was dead and Shen Jizu had no one to take care of him, so she was really worried that something might happen to him.
