Yao Shu saw that he stopped to look at the hairpin and knew that he probably wanted to buy it for her.
Just wanted to say that she had a lot of hairpins and two or three pure silver ones. She didn't need to buy any more. But when she got to the stall, Yao Shu was stunned.
Rao Shi saw a lot of exquisite ornaments in modern times. When she saw the silver hairpin in front of the stall owner, she also felt that his mind was ingenious, and the ornaments he made were as exquisite as handicrafts.
Yao Shu couldn't help saying, "it's so beautiful."
On the other side of the hairpin with patterns, most of them are the most distinctive flowers in various seasons. The carving is very exquisite.
Lin radial was not confused about beauty and ugliness, but he didn't care about wearing clothes. Seeing Yao Shu liked it, he whispered to her, "go and pick one."
Yao just wanted to step forward, and then he remembered that Lin had no money left, so he took the opportunity to tease him: "how about choosing one? You don't have the money to buy it for me. "
Seeing her foxy smile, Lin's eyes were soft: "I have a way. Choose a hairpin to defend yourself. "
Yao Shu saw that he actually put his focus on self-defense. For a while, he was speechless, but the boss selling hairpins on the stall raised his head and looked at Lin radial, who was just talking.
Lin radial's voice was very low. There was a distance between them from the stall, but the elderly did hear it.
Yao Shu went to the stall and looked at several beautiful silver hairpins carefully, but he did not know which one to choose.
The old man's hoarse voice rang out: "girl, pick any one. Your husband is right. Wear it
Yao Shu saw the old man say so and asked him curiously, "old man, is that the purpose you polished the other end of the hairpin so sharp?"
The old man nodded: "although the silver is soft, if it is made into a hairpin and sharpened at one end, it is still of some use under the sudden force."
Yao Shu didn't know how to answer the question. She didn't think that a hairpin would not first think about how to look good, but how to give it to a woman for self-defense?
General: "who was your old man?"
Yao Shu didn't notice it, but Lin radial could see it at a glance. The old man was so far away that he could hear his conversation with Yao Shu clearly. However, people who were older could still carve such exquisite hairpins.
He must have been a soldier for a long time because of his good hearing and vision, and his tall and upright posture.
The old man showed a smile, but shook his head: "old friends are gone, it's useless to say more, you can guess I've been in the army, that's enough."
Lin circled and nodded, but he didn't ask for it.
Still curious, Yao Shu asked the old man again: "women's strength is very small. If you can think of making hairpins into defensive objects, you should really consider a lot. But how do you have this idea? "
The old man could not see anything, even his eyes were always warm.
What I said surprised people: "I've been in the army for many years, and I go home every two years. If I can't go home because of the long journey, my wife will meet me in the nearest town to the barracks a few days in advance. Ten years ago, about the same early spring, my wife and I made an appointment to be in a city, but she didn't arrive. I didn't wait for a few days... "
"Later, I went out of the city to find out. I asked the direction of my home all the way. Only then did I know that there was a woman travelling alone half a month ago who was forced by the coachman in the wild The coachman ran away. She was stained with blood, but not her own. My wife finally bit her tongue and left a broken wooden hairpin on the ground. "
"It took me a long time to find the rickshaw man and found that there was a small scar on his neck, which was caused by a sharp object I stabbed the man's throat with my wife's broken wooden hairpin and avenged her
"But for more than ten years, I have been thinking about it all the time. On that day, my wife was wearing a silver hairpin instead of a wooden hairpin that was easy to fold With her bravery and determination, she will not suffer misfortune. "
The old man's tone was gentle, and even his speaking speed was not urgent. But under this calm, Yao Shu felt a great grief and sadness.
"I used my wife's favorite hairpin as a model and carved many silver hairpins. Each one sharpened one end."
Yao Shu's voice was a little tight. She bit her lower lip and murmured, "you must love your wife very much."
The old man who sold hairpins laughed and shook his head and said, "what do you love or not? I'm a rude man. How can I know those things. It's just that she didn't feel that when she suddenly left, I didn't seem to have any expectations. My heart is empty. "
Yao Shu was silent and gently picked up a silver hairpin carved with orchids.
By the bright afternoon sun, Yao Shu found that there were two small lines carved on the hairpin.
She could not help but read out: "Lan radial is not back, the news sea clouds..."
The poem was originally about missing a friend who had left by boat, but he didn't hear from each other. But the old man engraved the poem on his hairpin in memory of his dead wife. Isn't that just another way to express his deep love for his wife?Only the news of his wife, even at the other end of Haiyun, no longer exists.
In my ear, she only whispered her name
She put the hairpin back on the stall and looked back at him. Her eyes showed sadness: "yes. But this is not a good poem. "
Seeing Yao Shu's sadness, the old man said in a warm voice: "girl, you are a pure and kind-hearted child. Don't think so much about it. Today you met me, just as you picked up this hairpin, and the hairpin also happened to be engraved with your two names. Life is full of coincidences, but one by one coincidences together, is doomed. There are good and bad in everything. Although the origin of the hairpin may not be a good story, I believe you two will give the hairpin a good ending. Take it away. I hope you will never use it one day. "
Lin radial nodded his thanks: "thank you."
Yao Shu also slowly took the hairpin to his hand, but seriously said to the old man, "you said that the source of the hairpin is not good, but I think that this is the most beautiful story I have ever heard."
The old man laughed again, his eyes calm and gentle.
When Yao Shu left, he insisted on giving all the silver he had with him to the old man. Even Lin radial also sent out a jade pendant which looked quite valuable.
Now there was no money left on them. Besides, Yao Shu was not in the mood to go shopping again. She held a hairpin in her hand, but her mind always echoed the old man's calm and warm words.
Yao Shu said to Lin radial, "you say Why is the old man so calm when he is so miserable? "
Lin radial pondered for a while, and said in a low voice: "after the great grief, there is only calm and desolation left in his heart; maybe it is time, which calms his missing and sadness."
Yao Shu was a very sympathetic person. Looking at the silver hairpin, he said slowly, "the old man says he doesn't know what love is, but I clearly think that he loves his wife very much."
Seeing her ever bright face stained with sadness, Lin Fei could not help saying, "Ashu, everyone has his own fate, which may be what the old man said was predestined. But I will never let that happen to you in the future. "
Yao Shu let out a "hum" and then fell silent.
They walked together for a distance. She slowly separated from that sad mood. Suddenly, she remembered and asked Lin radial, "I just gave the old man so much money, why do you still give it? What's more, I don't think that jade pendant is ordinary. It doesn't matter if you give it out at will. "
Lin radial eyebrows and eyes are gentle, even the scars on the end of the eyes are in the sun with some warmth: "said, I bought it for you. The jade pendant was given to me by the general, so it's useless. "
Yao Shu was helpless, but he could understand the man's intention to give her something. He just asked him, "the jade pendant is nothing else What's the use in case? "
Who had thought that Lin radial but shook his head: "the use is to rush flustered."
The general didn't say anything when he gave him the jade pendant. He didn't say that it was very important or let him dispose of it at will. But Lin radial thinks that there is nothing more important than Yao Shu.
If he could buy her a hairpin with a jade pendant, he would not hesitate to give it up.
Yao Shu knew that a man is such a character, so he let go of this topic. He just thought that the next time he went to the cloth shop, he would bother manager Liu to go and help her buy the jade pendant from the old man again.
They had planned to go home after eating in the town, but now they had no money left, so they had to go back home.
It's still Lin Du on the way back.
