"Miss, who is that old grandpa? I've never seen him before." After hearing Ruyi's words and closing the door, the servant girl walked back and asked in confusion.
After seeing her, the young master went back to his room without saying a word. His sullen look immediately made the servant girl have a bad impression of the old man.
Ruyi rubbed her head and said, "The young master is thinking about something very important. Don't disturb him."
"Oh …" Xiao Huan replied in a low voice and quietly walked to the door. After taking a look inside, she tiptoed to the kitchen. It was getting late and it was time to cook dinner.
Li Yi lay on the bed and stared blankly at the ceiling again. The difference was that this time, his mind was empty.
As he stared, his eyelids became heavy …
…
…
The north wind whimpered and the whole world was covered in white.
"Dad, why do Li Dong and Li Bei all have grandpas? Where's my grandpa?" A young man in thin clothes stood in the courtyard and asked loudly in the heavy snow.
The white snow fell on his head and shoulders. His lips were purple from the cold, but the determined expression on his face did not change at all.
"You don't have a grandpa." After a long time, a hoarse voice came from the room with the flickering candlelight.
"Why?" The young man shivered and his voice became louder.
"I said no means no. Don't ask again!" The voice in the room became stern.
The young man bit his lips and his body began to tremble. He stubbornly stared at the candlelight in the room and refused to take a step forward.
The snow became heavier and the wind blew on his face like knives. The young man's legs had lost all feeling. After a while, his body swayed and fell on the snow.
At the same time, the door was pushed open and an anxious man ran out from the room. He picked up the young man on the snow and said hoarsely, "Yi 'er, Yi' er …"
The young man was unconscious and his forehead was burning.
The man carried the young man into the room and quickly rushed out again. He wrapped the young man in a blanket and carried him on his back. He pushed open the courtyard door and disappeared into the snowstorm against the cold wind.
"Doctor, my child is sick, please open the door!"
"Doctor, please save my child!"
"Doctor, please save my child!"
…
…
On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, the pharmacy was closed and the clinic was closed. The man knocked on the door of several clinics with the child on his back, but no one answered.
Finally, just as he was about to lose all hope, the door of the last clinic slowly opened. The white-haired old doctor glanced at him, sighed, and said, "Come in."
When the young man woke up from his coma, he saw the man with bloodshot eyes and messy hair standing guard in front of the bed.
"Father, I'm sorry. I should have been obedient," the young man said weakly.
"It's not your fault, it's not your fault, it's all my fault." The man held the youth's hand, tears welling up in his eyes.
"Father, I miss Mother."
The man turned his head, unwilling to let the youth see the tears on his face.
The young man suddenly smiled. He held his father's hand tightly and said, "Father, I won't ask that question again."
The man couldn't help but cry out.
…
…
Li Yi abruptly sat up from the bed, feeling a suffocating feeling in his heart. When a pure white handkerchief was extended to him, he realized that his face was already covered in tears without him noticing.
Ruyi held one of his hands and used the other to wipe away his tears. Li Yi looked at the sky outside and asked, "What time is it now?"
"It's almost midnight." Ruyi looked at him and asked, "Did you have a nightmare, husband?"
"Midnight …" Li Yi didn't expect that he would sleep for so long. The scenes that appeared in his dream, although trivial, were extremely real, as if he had experienced it himself.
Perhaps, it was really "him" who had experienced it himself.
Suddenly, a strange sound came from the room. Li Yi rubbed his stomach. Ruyi smiled and said, "I didn't wake you up for lunch in the afternoon. I'll go and heat up the food now."
Seeing Ruyi walk out of the room, Li Yi got off the bed, fetched a basin of ice water, and wiped his face carelessly. After being stimulated by the ice water, he immediately became much more awake.
He let out a long sigh of relief. Just now, he seemed to have experienced another life. Everything in the dream was so clear. When he thought about it, those scenes would appear in his mind again.
"It's you, right?" Li Yi murmured to the empty room. The room was eerily silent, and no one answered.
The food should have been heated in the pot a long time ago. Ruyi went out for a while and came back again with a steaming tray in her hand. She said, "It's very late. You can't eat too much. Just have some porridge, husband."
The rice was ordinary porridge, and the vegetables were pickled home-made pickles. Li Yi picked up the bowl and ate with relish. He felt that tonight's porridge and pickles were better than all the delicacies he had eaten before.
The pickles were also pickled with a unique recipe, but the recipe was not found in the library. When he was a child, he would run all over the mountains with his friends after lunch in the afternoon. The amount of exercise was huge, so when he returned home at night, he would become hungry again.
At this time, Grandma would cook some simple white porridge with pickled vegetables. When the rice was ready and the heat on the kang bed was almost done, Grandma would quickly finish the meal and crawl into the warm quilt.
He hadn't eaten for a whole day, so a bowl of porridge was naturally not enough. At this time, he didn't care about the rule that he couldn't eat too much at night. He took another bowl and soon saw the bottom of the bowl.
"Husband, you can't eat anymore." When Li Yi reached out again, Ruyi stopped him in time.
Although he felt that he could eat another bowl, Ruyi wouldn't let him, so Li Yi had to give up.
Ruyi put the bowl and chopsticks back. When she came back again, Li Yi suddenly asked, "What do you think I should do?"
Ruyi came over, smiled and said, "Husband, don't you already have the answer in your heart?"
Hearing this, Li Yi was stunned for a moment, and then he also smiled. He raised his palm and looked at it, saying, "Well, I've received such a great favor from you, so I should help you dispel your obsession for so many years. After this, you can go in peace."
"What are you talking about, husband?" Ruyi looked at him in confusion.
Li Yi smiled and patted her hand, saying, "Nothing, nothing. Go to sleep. Women will become ugly if they stay up late …"
When he walked to the bedside, he saw that Ruyi was still standing in the same place, biting her lip and looking a little hesitant.
This time, it was Li Yi's turn to be confused. He should be the one struggling. Why was she hesitating?
"What's wrong?" He walked over and asked her.
"Husband." Ruyi suddenly looked up at him.
Li Yi looked into her eyes and waited for her to continue.
"Let's consummate our marriage." The hesitation in her eyes quickly disappeared and turned into determination.
Ruyi's voice came clearly. In Li Yi's mind, it was as if a bolt of lightning flashed, illuminating the whole world.
At this moment, what Li family, what nobility, what Young Master, what going to the capital …
All of you can go to hell!
