comb up not to marry

The woman's voice was low and calm.

Ye Huaijin leaned close to Miaoning's ear and murmured carefully, "Ningning, don't be afraid, I'm here

Ye Huaijin added, "It seems...he seems to be a very good person."

"Oh..." Miaoning's ears moved slightly, and her tense nerves relaxed a little.

"Ningning, it's okay." Ye Huaijin reassured.

Miaoning turned around hesitantly, she stood sideways behind Ye Huaijin, her hands tightly wrapped around Ye Huaijin's arms, she, Gu Miaoning, was not afraid of anything but ghosts...

Miaoning took a deep breath and prepared her mind well.Her eyelashes were tangled and trembling, and finally she forcefully opened her eyes a slit, and her eyes fell on the woman in front of her.

The woman was about sixty years old, with black hair mixed with silver threads, a slightly round face full of wrinkles, slightly drooping eyelids, and no emotion on her face.The woman was wearing a blue cotton dress with a white knitted sweater over her shoulders, black trousers and black cloth shoes, simple and unadorned.

The woman opened the door fully and said, "Come in, it's raining heavily."

As she spoke, the woman turned around and walked into the house without waiting for the two of them to answer.

It was only then that Miao Ning realized that the woman had a waist-length braid, the strands were uniform, black and white intertwined, and the braid swayed as the woman walked away.

Miao Ning followed the figure of the woman, and took a look inside the house. The yard was square, with many carefully cultivated potted plants placed on the green brick floor, and a lot of rainwater accumulated in the middle of the ground.

There is a large stone water tank in the left corner of the yard. Dark green and shiny moss covers half of the stone tank, and the other half is a mysterious stone carving pattern, with twigs and lotus leaves planted on it, which is quite a deep courtyard.

Ye Huaijin stared at the continuous rain curtain outside, and said, "Ning Ning, go in, it looks like the rain won't stop for a while."

"Ah."

Ye Huaijin took Miaoning's hand, and the two walked into the yard together.

Stepping over the threshold, the yard suddenly opened up.

The surrounding corridors are hollowed out in the middle, and an open space falls from the sky.Miao Ning raised her head, the wooden beams intertwined with each other, no one could tell the year, there was a white cat lying on the beam, only showing a flexible and curved tail.

Taking a closer look, there is a blooming wintersweet flower outside the southwest corner of the wall. The branches protrude into the yard, and the bright yellow stars are scattered, exuding a refreshing fragrance.

Miao Ning sniffed deeply, and then smelled it carefully, a faint sandalwood wafted in the air, which made people feel peaceful.

A few days ago Miaoning was so busy that she was dizzy, but now she finally calmed down, allowing her to take a breath.

"Sit here." The woman beckoned.

"Okay, thank you." Ye Huaijin smiled and nodded.

The two walked through the corridor, put down their backpacks and sat in the hall, looking around curiously.The woman sat quietly on the opposite chair, sewing the clothes in her hands, and had no intention of talking to the two of them.

Miao Ning originally wanted to ask a lot of questions, but seeing the woman's indifferent attitude, she kept her mouth shut.

Not long after, another woman in indigo blue came out from behind the curtain. She looked younger than the woman in blue, and she also had a long braid at the end of her hair.She put two cups of tea on the low table, and said kindly, "You guys have some hot tea."

"Thank you, we are not thirsty." Ye Huaijin smiled lightly.The woman pushed the cup again, Ye Huaijin shook his head slightly, refusing to drink the tea.Stranger things still need to be careful.

The indigo woman didn't push anymore, she sat on the chair next to her, smiled kindly, "I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Suliang, and that is Yiqing."

The woman named Yiqing glanced at her, and soon began to sew the clothes in her hands again.

Su Liang talked a lot, and said in a familiar way, "Don't mind, Yiqing is cold-tempered and doesn't talk much."

"No, we are the ones who troubled you." Ye Huaijin responded, "You can call me Xiaoye, this is Xiaogu."

"Oh, hello." Su Liang nodded.

The rain continued without stopping.

It was only two o'clock, and the sky was already dark.

The temperature in the mountains is already low, and it is even more humid when it is rainy.A gust of cold wind blows, Miao Ning can't help tightening her body, rubbing her arms to gain heat.

Sensing Miao Ning's movements, Ye Huaijin took a coat out of the bag and put it on Miao Ning's body, then covered Miao Ning's hands in his bosom, and said softly, "Ning Ning, lean closer to me."

Miao Ning responded in a low voice, she was actually not that afraid of the cold, it was just that she was in her menstrual period and her resistance was a little weaker.

Su Liang glanced at the two of them, got up and took a stove from the back room to the hall, and used tongs to pick up new honeycomb briquettes, and put a kettle on it.

In an instant, the fire wave drove away the coldness in the house. Seven or eight minutes later, the water boiled away, the spout of the pot kept spraying hot air, and the air pressure rose loudly. Everyone's eyes were focused here.

Su Liang lifted the kettle, filled her own white porcelain cup with hot water, and placed it by the stove, "Pour it yourself if necessary."

Ye Huaijin's eyelids moved slightly.

Ye Huaijin shook Miaoning's icy little hand, after thinking for a while, she mixed her kettle with warm water, after she drank it, she refilled slightly scalding hot water and handed it to Miaoning.

Miao Ning saw everything in her eyes, she took a small sip of hot water, warming her mouth to stomach, her body was no longer so gloomy and cold.

The defenses of both of them weakened a little.

Miao Ning turned on her phone and looked at it. Sometimes there was a signal in the mountains and sometimes there was no signal. During the long day, there were only four people talking to each other.

Su Liang put down the white porcelain cup and chatted, "There are very few people here."

Miao Ning looked up and looked around, and said, "Where is this place?"

"It's a shelter."

As if understanding the words, the white cat on the beam jumped to the ground, its blue eyes glanced at everyone, and finally chose to walk towards Su Liang, with a slender figure, it jumped onto Su Liang's knee, After rubbing his head lightly, he found a comfortable position and lay down on the spot.

Su Liang showed loving eyes, touched the white cat's forehead again and again, and smiled, "Yes, it's also your home."

With a soft meow, the white cat stretched its body and exposed its belly. Su Liang scratched his belly with his fingers and sighed, "This cat is almost 15 years old."

Miao Ning looked at Shang Suliang's slightly cloudy eyes and sapphire-like cat eyes, one person and one cat, one year old and one year old, time slipped through the fingers like this

Looking back, but for a moment.

In those ten years without Ye Huaijin, Miao Ning's life was just a repeated day.

Looking at the rain in front of the hall, Su Liang fell into memories, "This is a memorial hall for a self-combed woman left over from the last century. Yiqing and I are the gatekeepers here."

"Self combing girl?" Miao Ning asked.

"Well, self-comb girls are either dissatisfied with the marriage arranged by their parents, or because they are determined to live a celibate life. They will never marry for life, have no husband and no children, and keep each other as companions when they grow old."

Su Liang's eyes gradually shifted to Yi Qing who was sewing quietly, "This is a forgotten place, only the two of us."

Yiqing raised her eyes tacitly, the two eyes met, and a trace of tenderness flashed across Yiqing's eyes.Immediately afterwards, she wiped her hair with her needle-piercing hand, and continued to sew with her head down.

Miao Ning lightly bites the words, "You don't get married if you comb it."

The yard is quiet except for the sound of rain.

Miao Ning sighed, "This place is like a paradise in my heart."

"We are not a nunnery." Su Liang smiled.

Ye Huaijin added with a light smile, "This used to be a place where women's freedom was fought."

"Hmm..." Su Liang touched the white hair on her temples, she seemed to be remembering something long ago, her face was sad and moved, and after a few seconds, she came back to her senses and said, "If you stay later For dinner, Yiqing can make you her best braised pork."

Hearing this, Yiqing stared at Suliang with a bit of displeasure on her face, but in the end she got up and walked into the back room without saying anything.

Su Liang curled her lips, feeling a little helpless, "She's angry again, I'll go and see her."

Miao Ning looked at the backs of the two, thinking that they were really two lovely little old ladies.

Miao Ning leaned on Ye Huaijin's arms and sighed, "Ye Huaijin, if we get old, will you coax me like this?"

"Isn't it coaxing you every day now?" Ye Huaijin laughed.

"hey-hey…"

Ye Huaijin's slightly curly hair made Miao Ning's face itchy. Miao Ning fiddled with her hair. She looked at the strand of hair in her hand, and then at her own hair. Her heart moved, and she entangled the two strands of hair. Together.

She glanced upwards, looked up at Ye Huaijin's gentle face, Ye Huaijin was also looking down at her, Ye Huaijin showed a small dimple, touched Miaoning's forehead with her thin lips, and asked, "Is it still cold?"

"It's not cold anymore." Miaoning shook her head.

Miao Ning thought, "Leaving aside the feudal level, it is really a romantic thing to get married and not get married. The society still doesn't accept homosexual love, but no one can stipulate that the path most people take is the right one. The road, the road taken by a few people is the wrong road. It is the best road to become yourself."

"Hmm..." Ye Huaijin stroked Miaoning's long hair, "I believe that there will be more and more women in this world who don't get married. They follow their hearts, discern themselves, are not afraid of worldly eyes, and are brave enough to take responsibility. Actively choose the life you want.”

"Sodo I"

The two leaned close to each other, letting go of distracting thoughts in their minds.

Between heaven and earth, there is no one there.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the rain lightened.

Ye Huaijin and Miaoning bid farewell to the two elders and rushed to L City.

The rainy dirt road was not easy at all, Ye Huaijin walked in the front, walked a few steps and then turned to pick up Miaoning.

The two bought train tickets at [-] o'clock, and it was still early in the station bathroom to roughly deal with the mud stains on the trouser legs.

After arriving home two hours later, Ye Huaijin kept busy saying, "Ning Ning, I'm going to order two bowls of egg noodles, after you eat, go take a shower, so as not to faint due to hypoglycemia."

"Oh, good." Miaoning walked a section of the mountain road, her back was sweaty and cold, her head was a little dizzy, and her nasal voice was slightly heavy when she spoke.

Ye Huaijin frowned, and started to get busy in the kitchen. She was quick with her hands and feet, and the noodles were ready in 15 minutes.

Miaoning didn't eat much all day, her stomach was empty, and after taking a bite of noodles, her appetite increased, she ate cleanly, and her energy improved a lot.

After resting for more than ten minutes, Miao Ning went to the bathroom to take a shower, and Ye Huai Jin went out to buy cold medicine.

Ye Huaijin returned home after buying the medicine, and when she opened the door, she heard the sound of a hair dryer coming from the bedroom. She changed her shoes and went into the bedroom, and saw Miaoning wearing thin pajamas, sitting on a stool and drying her hair.

Won't he take care of himself without her?Ye Huaijin's heart suddenly ached, she took a coat from the closet, put it on Miaoning's shoulders, took the hair dryer in her hand, and said softly, "I'll do it."

Miaoning looked at Ye Huaijin's pale face in the mirror, then looked at the medicine box beside her, and realized, "I'm fine."

Ye Huaijin ran her slender fingers through Miao Ning's hair, her tone was very firm, even threatening, and said, "You better be fine, otherwise you'll be the one to look at."

Miaoning shrinks her neck.

Ye Huaijin carefully dried each strand of Miao Ning's hair, Miao Ning's body also lazily warmed up a lot.

Ye Huaijin curled her hair a little, and suddenly asked, "Ning Ning, do you think combing not to marry is like a vow?"

"Ok?"

"In this secular world, if you don't marry in this life, you and I will be together for the rest of your life." Ye Huaijin stopped his movements.

"Ye Huaijin." Miao Ning's eyes were slightly vacant, and she curled her lips into a smile, "So...you are proposing to me again now, right?"

Ye Huaijin,...

Ye Huaijin looked so calm, she divided Miao Ning's hair into three strands and slowly braided it.

Miaoning used the mirror to observe Ye Huaijin's crimson ears, she couldn't help but feel complacent, she could eat Ye Huaijin to death every time.

After finishing the compilation, Ye Huaijin glanced at the habitual offender Gu Miaoning who ran away after flirting, did she succeed every time?

Ye Huaijin leaned down and approached Miao Ning's cheek, raised the corners of his eyes, his voice was soft and hoarse, "So, Ning Ning, would you like it?"
