Chapter 1389 Hope and Disappointment

Chapter 1389 Hope and Disappointment

Inside the small Buddhist hall, there is lingering smoke, and incense candles are slowly burning.

The rather airtight room blocked all the noise from the outside, and it seemed extraordinarily quiet here.

Tong Xinyue was kneeling on the cushion, worshiping Buddha and praying for God.

She clasped her hands together, her eyes were slightly closed, she was very devout, and she said slowly and slowly, "God bless you, the Buddha has mercy, please keep my husband safe and healthy."

Up to now, Tong Xinyue didn't even dare to extravagantly ask for Ye Xun and the others to come back safely.

No matter where they are, as long as they are safe and sound, it is a blessing.

As for the rest, it really doesn't matter at all!
Since learning Buddhism with Aunt Tang, Tong Xinyue has seriously burnt a stick of incense almost every day for the past two years, kowtowing in front of the Buddha.

Perhaps, such behavior seems a bit silly to others.

Especially those young people in the new era, they don't believe in this kind of feudal superstition, and they are extremely disdainful.

but!
Tong Xinyue has no other choice.

It's like a terminally ill person, there is no cure, only despair.

It's like a person who can't get out of the maze and can only wait for death. Faced with such a desperate situation, what can he do?
The best and only last resort, then, is probably to turn to those illusory things.

Anyway, it's always a last resort, isn't it?
The same is true for Tong Xinyue.

Today is New Year's Eve, and every family is reunited.

But their family is still falling apart, and they don't know where the tourists are.

During the reunion dinner, Tong Xinyue saw Gu Yuanyu and Ye Jiao's qin and zither singing in harmony, and saw their children enjoying themselves under the knees of their parents.

Tong Xinyue felt sad.

At that time, she would immediately look away, pretending to be eating vegetables, pretending that everything no longer existed.

pretend……

Endless sighs, as if they could only give birth to endless despair in the end, like a pair of invisible hands, tearing people's hearts shallowly!

So, after returning, Tong Xinyue did not go back to her room, she first came to the Buddhist hall,

This is probably the place where she feels the most peaceful, as if it can take away all the sadness and pain, and it can make people's hearts sink slowly.

Tong Xinyue sighed, and after she finished offering the incense, she kowtowed three times respectfully.

In the past, after worshiping, Tong Xinyue almost went back to her room.

But today she didn't, even through the closed doors and windows, she could still faintly hear the loud noises of fireworks and firecrackers coming from outside from time to time.

This night is destined to be a sleepless night, and most people will choose a vigil or something.

Of course, there will be no shortage of fireworks and firecrackers.

It's just faint tonight, it seems a little less.

But Tong Xinyue didn't take it seriously, she didn't leave the Buddhist hall, but sat on the cushion, flipped through the scriptures, and recited softly.

It always makes her feel at ease.

I don't know how long it took, when I suddenly heard hurried footsteps coming from outside.

Tong Xinyue could tell that it was her eldest son Ye Yitong.

Mothers are probably the ones who know their children best in the world.

The movements of her hands paused slightly, but it was only for a moment, and soon she continued to flip through the book.

Sure enough, Ye Yitong arrived soon, and he pushed open the door with a joy that didn't match his usual face, and he was faintly agitated.

"Mother, mother, father and third uncle are back!"

Tong Xinyue paused again when she turned the pages of the book, and couldn't help but chuckled.

She looked at her son with some pity, and her first reaction was whether the child had a fever, why did she start talking nonsense so well.

Ye Yitong naturally understood what his mother was thinking, he was helplessly funny and anxious.

"It's true, you have to believe me! Mother, everyone has gone to the pier, saying that many people from Yucheng have returned!"

"After I heard the news, I didn't dare to delay and came to tell you immediately."

"Mother~~"

"..."

Due to his over-excited mood, Ye Yitong even trembled a little in his voice.

His eyes were faintly sparkling, and his face was full of joy!
Tong Xinyue was silent.

She didn't believe it, but felt sad.

It's unspeakably sad, look, how much my child yearns for his father, and even speaks such nonsense.

Tong Xinyue felt even more sad, feeling that she had failed the children.

"Tong'er, come here." Tong Xinyue waved at the child and called softly.

In normal times, Ye Yitong would have passed without saying a word, but at this moment, he was anxious!

"Mother, come with me, let's go and see!"

Tong Xinyue smiled wryly, and asked back, "Tong'er, did you see it with your own eyes?"

Ye Yitong: "..."

This made him choke, he really didn't see it with his own eyes, he just heard everyone say that, and some old people who originally came from Yucheng screamed happily and excitedly.

Ye Yitong didn't care too much, so he hurried over to find his mother immediately.

Tong Xinyue smiled helplessly, and she called softly: "Tong'er."

She originally wanted to say that the child should not report too much hope.

But when the words came to his lips, he still swallowed them. For children, it is actually a very cruel thing!

Especially when seeing these pairs of eyes full of hope dim in an instant, like a fallen star.

Tong Xinyue's heart was in pain like a needle prick.

After a long while, she sighed softly: "Forget it, there is something lively about the port. Let's go, I'll accompany you to have a look. If not, just treat it as a relaxation between our mother and son."

Speaking of which, it may have been a long time since I walked around.

Ye Yitong nodded and said yes.

The somewhat hoarse boy, the excitement in his voice was gone, replaced by solemnity.

But after all, there was still some hope in his eyes.

Unfortunately, it was like a raging fire that had been extinguished, and turned into a flame like a small match.

Anyway, it doesn't take much effort to make a trip, what if it is!

Thinking of this, Ye Yitong's eyes inevitably brightened a little.

He moved forward quickly, took his mother's hand, and went out with her.

Deep night.

But today's island is destined to be a sleepless night.

The trees and shops along the street are all lit up, with lanterns of various colors shining, and some small light strips are long and winding.

This is not only because of the New Year's Eve vigil, but also because of what happened in the port.

With the spread, more and more people on the island know about it.

Everyone, one by one, came in a hurry after getting the news.

Some want to search to see if there are relatives of their own.

And some are curious, just come to see the excitement~
