Chapter 77 Secret meeting
Du Manlin followed Xiaohua and her daughter out of the village, walked along the Fenghuang River for a while and then went up the mountain road. They circled the mountain road twice and arrived at the ancient tomb. After paying attention to the surrounding movements, Xiaohua's mother turned on the tomb's
Tomb gate.
"Sister, come with me!" Xiaohua took the lead and got in, then turned around and stretched out her hand, "Come on, sister, come in quickly."
Du Manlin hesitated for a moment, grabbed Xiaohua's hand, and bent down to get in. Xiaohua's mother and daughter were holding flashlights respectively, one leading the way and the other behind. Du Manlin was sandwiched in the middle and carefully supported the cave wall as she moved forward. The cave was narrow and curved.
The further we walked, the cooler it became. We turned around a large bay and heard the sound of spring water. Seeing that Du Manlin was a little out of breath, Xiaohua suggested taking a rest.
Du Manlin walked to the spring and took a handful of the spring water with her hands. The spring water was clear and dazzling, and bitingly cold. She couldn't help but let out a sigh: "Ah, it's too scary, too dangerous, and too beautiful. Xiaohua, are you taking me to heaven or to the earth?"
"
Xiaohua said: "It is neither heaven nor earth, you will know later!"
After continuing to walk along the cave in the direction of the water flow for about twenty minutes, a faint light was seen, and then the cave became wider and wider. Finally, a huge cave suddenly appeared in front of Du Manlin.
Du Manlin was shocked, stunned, dumbfounded and excited: "Ah! Isn't this the Lingxiao Palace in the sky and the Dragon King's Palace in the water? It's so beautiful and amazing! Xiaohua, is this your home? You live here
Three years? Jiawei, isn't Jiawei with you, why don't you see him?"
Du Manlin immediately became alert when she heard no reply. She looked around and saw that Xiaohua and her daughter were nowhere to be seen. Her heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the mother and daughter were up to some conspiracy. Just when Du Manlin was confused, three figures greeted her.
Come.
Xiaohua, Xiaohua’s mother, the person sitting in the wheelchair in the middle is, yes, Kang Jiawei. Du Manlin was looking at her, thinking in her heart and talking in her mouth. Suddenly, she took off her feet and ran in the direction of the three figures, shouting as she ran: "Jiawei"
Wei, Jia Wei, is that you? I am Manlin."
Xiaohua shouted: "Sister, it's Jiawei, it's Jiawei!"
Du Manlin sped up and looked like Chang'e flying to the moon.
Kang Jiawei stopped, looking downcast.
"Jiawei, Jiawei, it's really you!" Du Manlin was panting from running, lying on the wheelchair, with a rosy face and a big smile, her eyes were like nails on Kang Jiawei's face, "Jiawei, you let me
It's so easy for me to find you. I've been looking for you in all the places I should look for for three years, but I never imagined that you would be hiding in such a hidden and beautiful fairy cave."
Kang Jiawei held Du Manlin's hand and stared at her intently. As he stared, tears rolled out like pearls. He wanted to cry silently, letting the tears run rampant. Du Manlin took out a handkerchief, followed her eyes, nose
Wiping down the ditch, he wiped away the long-lasting pain drop by drop.
Du Manlin added: "Jiawei, you have gained weight. Look at your handsome cheeks, and you have gained weight. You have become richer. But you are also getting older. Look at how much white hair you have, and wrinkles on your forehead.
The crow’s feet have grown deeper.”
Kang Jiawei slowly held Du Manlin's face, smoothed her bangs, touched her face, and wiped away her tears with his full fingers.
Du Manlin continued: "Jiawei, do you know how I have lived in the past three years? I work very hard during the day. When I come home from work, I always follow the footsteps you left to look for you. Every time I look for you with hope.
, all I can find is disappointment. Whenever the night is quiet, the only thing that accompanies me is my own tears; whenever I fall asleep, I always see you smiling and opening your arms to me to hug me, but when I get close to you, I want to throw myself into you.
When I hugged you, I woke up from the dream and you were gone."
She smiled silently and shook her head: "Jiawei, do you know how much the golden boy misses you? When you first left, the brother and sister shouted 'I want daddy, I want daddy' when they saw me.
'Where is Dad?'. Every time I lied to them, Dad went abroad for medical treatment. Once, the golden boy suddenly said to me, Mom, you are a liar, a big liar, Dad is not going to treat diseases at all, he is
He hid them and didn’t want us anymore. It’s a pity for the two children, who lost their father’s love at such a young age. Fortunately, Li Shijing, the uncle, loved them very much, which somewhat made up for the lost father’s love.”
"Are you all together?" Kang Jiawei finally spoke.
"Yes, the child has been living with me." Du Manlin nodded.
"No one else except the children?"
"Oh, my dad, Man Lang, Uncle Qian, Aunt Qian, and Man Lang's girlfriend also lived here for a while, but during this time they had conflicts and broke up."
"You really don't know who I'm talking about?"
Du Manlin was confused when asked: "Who else can live in our house?"
"I have always hoped that someone could live in our Kang family and become the pillar of support for our Kang family."
"Who are you talking about?"
"Li Shijing, his feelings for you are definitely not inferior to mine. Let him replace me. Not only will you be happy, but your children will also live a happy life."
Du Manlin was so angry that she stamped her feet: "Jiawei, what did you say? Say it again and let me hear it. How in the world would you give your wife to someone else? Do you think that if you leave me, I can be good to other men?
Marrying another man? What kind of woman do you think I am? A woman who has no sense of responsibility, who only cares about dreams, and who is in love with someone else?"
"Manlin, don't think too much about it. I know you are a good woman. It's because you are good that I can't bear to let you suffer with me."
Du Manlin stared at him silently, feeling like an overturned five-flavor bottle, unable to tell what the smell was.
"If you can't bear to let me be wronged, then you can bear to make the little flower girl suffer." Du Manlin cast a sympathetic look at Xiaohua.
Xiaohua lowered her head shyly and touched her mother's hand. The mother and daughter exchanged glances and hurriedly walked towards a stone house next to them.
Kang Jiawei looked at Xiaohua's back: "Xiaohua is still a young girl. Although she has taken care of me for three years and expressed her love to me several times, I rejected her every time. Manlin, I wanted to be happy when I left you.
How can you have the heart to ruin another woman's happiness again?"
Du Manlin let out a long breath: "In this case, you should not continue to let her spend her youth on you, let her leave you to find the destination and happiness that should belong to her; you should also return to you
I want my wife and children to have a complete, harmonious and happy home by their side."
The two of them were silent for a long time, and there was silence in the cave.
"Give me some time to think about it." Kang Jiawei broke the silence and said simply.
"Okay, after you think about it, ask Xiaohua to send me a letter." Du Manlin looked at her watch, "I know that you can live here because of others, and it is absolutely confidential. In order not to give Xiaohua mother and daughter
