If he was going to attack him just now, he would have no ability to react at all, and he wouldn't even know how he died.
Delivering a letter?
A letter to your mother?
Who does the letter belong to? What is the content of the letter?
Is there any conspiracy against him hidden here? - He knows that at this moment, there must be quite a few people who are eager to kill him!
Is this mysterious letter sent by a mysterious person a conspiracy against me?
Or is it a trick against his mother?
Suddenly, a bunch of questions popped up in Hou Tianming's mind.
Holding the letter in his hand, he resisted the urge to open it and entered the "Grateful Temple".
The environment inside this "Gan Nian Temple" can only be described as average.
There are even clumps of weeds everywhere along the way, and the walls of the houses are covered with climbing plants. It looks like no one cares about it at all. It can even be said that there are no traces of human habitation here.
very quiet!
It's so quiet and a bit chilly!
Hou Tianming stepped on the stone road covered with weeds and finally stopped outside an old-looking house.
He faced the door of the house, bowed and said, "Mom, I'm back..."
After a while, a calm voice came from the house: "Well... I hope you come back safely. Mom is doing some religious work and I won't see you. Go and do your business. Mom will pray for you."
Hou Tianming: "..."
His expression moved, with disappointment written all over his face.
Although I have been mentally prepared for a long time...
However, my mother still didn't see me.
How many years?
Ah!
It’s been nearly a hundred years since I turned sixteen, and I haven’t seen my mother again!
If he hadn't heard her voice and felt her presence every time he came here, Hou Tianming would have even thought that his mother was dead...
Over the years, he has been doubtful, angry, resentful... Until now, he has long accepted the reality, got used to it, and his state of mind has returned to its original state.
Although seeing my mother once has become a luxury.
But as long as he could hear his mother's voice and know that she was still fine, he would be satisfied.
Hou Tianming said: "Mom, I have a letter here. It was sent to you by someone I don't know."
A voice came from the room: "Letter? Who wrote it?"
Hou Tianming said: "I don't know. The person who gave the letter to me also said that he was entrusted by someone else. Mom, I have checked this letter and there is nothing wrong with it. Do you want to see it?"
If he could have a few more words with his mother because of this letter, he would also be happy in his heart.
Over the years, every time I come here, I never speak more than three sentences to my mother!
A voice came from the room, saying: "Since you don't even know who the person who wrote the letter is, it's okay not to read it."
Hou Tianming said: "Mom, since that person specially asked the child to be handed over, he must have something important. Why not take a look?"
Then a calm voice came from the room: "Read it to me." - Listening to the voice and tone, it was completely dispensable.
Hou Tianming hesitated a little and said, "Is this... a letter for my mother, do I think it's appropriate?"
After getting a positive answer, he opened the envelope and took out a piece of paper, only to see six words written on it...
Hou Tianming: "..." His brows couldn't help but frown.
What do these six words... mean?
The three characters above should be the person's name.
The next three words are location.
Could it be that he asked his mother to meet at that place?
hehe!
If you ask your mother to meet, it will be a waste of effort.
My mother has not left this "Sentiment Temple" for more than a hundred years.
How could you leave just because of these six words?
With this thought in mind, he said: "Mother, there are six words written on it: Tang Hulu, Feihua Tower!"
Clang——!!
The sound of glass falling to the ground and breaking came from the room.
follow closely!
With a "squeak" sound, the closed door opened.
A woman wearing monk's training clothes hurriedly walked out, appeared in front of Hou Tianming in a flash, and grabbed the letter in his hand!
At this time, Hou Tianming was stunned: "..."
mother……
It came out like this?!
My mother, whom I had not seen for nearly a hundred years, actually rushed out of the door and appeared in front of me just because of these six words?!
this……
What exactly is going on?
Immediately afterwards, an unbelievable scene happened that made him even more unbelievable - my mother actually trembled and grabbed the paper in her hand and shed tears!?
Hou Tianming was shocked and confused, and couldn't help but said: "Mom, you..."
Hou Junru clutched the letter paper, suddenly raised her head and looked at Hou Tianming, and said: "Where is the person who sent the letter? Where is he? Has he said anything else to you? Say it quickly! Say it quickly!"
Hou Tianming was so old that this was the first time he saw his mother acting so rude. He was stunned and speechless for a moment.
Hearing his mother's gentle urging of "Speak quickly," he said: "Mom, don't be anxious. The person who delivered the letter has left. He didn't say anything, he just said that he was entrusted by someone to deliver the letter."
Looking at the mother in front of me, I feel familiar, but at the same time, I feel an indescribable feeling of strangeness...
My mother's appearance has long been blurred with the weathering of a hundred years.
Hou Junru asked again: "What does he look like? Does he look similar to you?"
Hou Tianming's heart moved.
Do you look a lot like me?
Okay, why did you ask this suddenly?
How come it looks so similar to me?
"Mom, he looks nothing like me. Why...why do you ask so suddenly?"
Hou Junru said: "Nothing... Feihua Building, where is it?"
Hou Tianming said: "That's a restaurant on Jinglong Street in the south of 'Yujing City'."
He is very familiar with "Jade Capital City", so familiar with it that he can tell it exactly where it is.
Hou Junru said: "Okay!"
After saying that, she walked around Hou Tianming.
Hou Tianming was startled and quickly caught up with his mother and said, "Mom, are you going to Feihua Tower now?"
Hou Junru said: "Go and do your business. Don't worry about me."
Hou Tianming said: "Mom, let me arrange carriages and horses to take you there?"
Hou Junru said: "No need. I can just go by myself."
Hou Tianming said: "But mother..."
Hou Junru shouted: "Be obedient!!"
Hou Tianming: "..."
As the "Great General" of the "Celestial Dynasty", it is not an exaggeration to say that "one person is inferior to ten thousand people".
But in Hou Junru's case, he didn't look like a "general" at all. He was just a son who was afraid of his mother.
Hou Tianming stood blankly on the spot, watching helplessly as his mother's back disappeared...
