Bai is not sleeping yet. She is waiting for Mrs. Bai. They have relied on each other until now. In Bai's heart, besides being the princess of Daqi, Mrs. Bai is also her most important family member. Mrs. Bai has not come back yet, how could she possibly
rest assured?
When there were footsteps outside, Mrs. Bai immediately put down the needle and thread in her hand and looked over. Mrs. Bai's figure appeared in her sight.
Mrs. Bai immediately looked into Mrs. Bai's eyes and saw a somewhat relaxed expression. Then she felt relieved. It seemed that she had met the person she wanted to see this time.
Mrs. Bai didn't say anything. She first brought warm water and then soaked the handkerchief to wipe Mrs. Bai's body.
Mrs. Bai said: "Didn't I ask you to rest first?"
Mrs. Bai smiled and said, "Who can sleep so early?" Mrs. Bai asked her to rest and came straight to her as soon as she returned to the village. Although there were many people in the village, she was the only one who could talk to Mrs. Bai.
Regardless of whether it is good or bad, it is only enjoyable to talk about it.
Mrs. Bai took the basin out, and Cha Shuo, who had not entered the door, immediately followed. He poured the water and returned to the door to wait until Mrs. Bai's voice came from the house: "Come in!"
Cha Shuo then walked into the room and bowed to Mrs. Bai and Mrs. Bai.
But this time it was different from usual. Neither Mr. Bai nor Mrs. Bai asked him to get up.
Cha Shuo's arched back slowly straightened up, and he looked at the two people sitting in front of him. He seemed calm, but his heart was churning violently like water that had just been boiled.
Cha Shuo thought for a moment and did not do anything extra. Instead, he knelt down in front of the two of them.
Mrs. Bai and Ms. Bai didn't stop her. Cha Shuo took a few more steps on his knees and kowtowed three times to Mrs. Bai. His voice was slightly trembling: "Mother."
Mrs. Bai lowered her eyes and said, "You shouldn't kowtow to me."
When Bai heard this, she was about to say something. Unexpectedly, Cha Shuo, who was on the ground, had already raised his head, walked towards her again, kowtowed, and solemnly called out again: "Mother."
Bai's eyes were slightly moist, and he couldn't help but said: "This can't be done, it can't be done."
"Why can't you do it?" said Mrs. Bai, "You deserve this gift the most."
Mrs. Bai said this, and Cha Shuo kowtowed to Mr. Bai again.
"Get up." Bai was anxious but couldn't move, so she could only watch Cha Shuo do this.
When Cha Shuo straightened up again, Mrs. Bai said: "What I just said is true. She is more like a mother than me. Back then...according to my wishes, I would not have saved you. As a mother, I have used all my strength to save you."
I can't save the lives of your brothers and sisters, so all I can do is avenge you."
After finishing speaking, Mrs. Bai looked at Mrs. Bai and said, "It's this fool who exchanged his own flesh and blood for you."
All Cha Shuo knew that his mother hid him back then, just for fear of something going wrong. Wusongjie didn't even know his whereabouts, but later someone betrayed his mother and went to capture him with soldiers and horses. It was the Bai family who used
His son replaced him and then sent him out.
In fact, at that time, Cha Shuo didn't know that he was the child of Princess Daqi and Wu Songjie. He just became suspicious of the turmoil a few years ago, and then found out bit by bit.
Bai wiped his eyes with his sleeve: "It's all in the past, what are you talking about?"
"You have to forget everything in the past?" said Mrs. Bai, "How is that different from raising a wolf cub?"
Cha Shuo pursed his lips.
Mrs. Bai turned her attention to Cha Shuo again: "Have you always wanted to ask us why we didn't let someone bring you to the village?"
Cha Shuo nodded.
Mrs. Bai said: "I don't want you to be involved in this matter. Your brothers and sisters are all dead, and there are still so many grievances in it. When I sent you out, I wouldn't let you grow up as the son of Wusongjie."
Da, I just want you to get rid of all this."
Cha Shuo wanted to say something, but he thought for a while and did not speak. Instead, he listened quietly to Mrs. Bai's continued words.
Mrs. Bai said: "This hatred should not be on you. You don't know anything. This is the grudge between us and Wusongjie, Wusongqi and now Zanpu, as well as the people in Daqi. It has nothing to do with you."
It has nothing to do with it, I will not bear my hatred to you and use you as a revenge knife."
"But I can't hide it from you blindly. When you grow up, you also have the right to choose. After you came to Taozhou, we also kept you."
Cha Shuo nodded, but the two mothers never mentioned his life experience.
"I didn't tell you because I wanted to protect you," Bai said, "It was my idea."
Mrs. Bai sighed: "She always has a motherly heart, and always feels that if you hide more people, you will be safer. If one day we don't find a chance, or if someone plots against you again, we can always try to let you escape."
Cha Shuo said: "My son understands now."
Mrs. Bai continued: "I am still very happy to see you. You are sometimes reckless and reckless..."
Cha Shuo blushed slightly: "My son has embarrassed his mother."
"What kind of shame is this?" Mrs. Bai said, "Seeing this side of you makes me feel at ease. At least I know that you have lived a pretty good life these years. You must know that being steady and cautious is because you have suffered too much."
"But in the past few years in the village, you have grown up a lot. You still look so straightforward, and you have already thought about it in your heart. Otherwise, we would not be telling you this today."
Cha Shuo couldn't help but feel a sore nose. He had been waiting for this day for a long time. He once thought that his mother would not recognize him.
Mrs. Bai said: "Now is the time for you to make a choice. We have no way out. They killed the clansmen and children who followed us, which made us like this. We must avenge those people, but you are different. You can still
choose."
"You can take some people and find a place to hide, and never reveal your life experience. Of course, you can also stay with us. If you win, you don't need to say anything. If you lose... there is no way out this time."
Put everything on the table. If you lose, you will never have a chance to make a comeback. Mrs. Bai will not ask for such an opportunity again. She is old. If she is going to die, she will be at the front.
Bai looked at Cha Shuo worriedly: "I think you still..."
Mrs. Bai looked over, and Mrs. Bai swallowed what she said. She promised Mrs. Bai that she would not interfere with Cha Shuo this time.
There was some determination in Cha Shuo's eyes: "Mother, my son knows that he is stupid, but when he came to the village, he thought that no matter what happens this time, he will be with his mother."
There was no talk of righteousness, no hatred, let alone seeking justice for the dead. He simply wanted to stand with his mother.
This is also what Cha Shuo really thinks about.
Mrs. Bai nodded, with a look of satisfaction on her face: "Okay, now that you have decided, no matter how difficult it is, just go ahead and don't regret it."
Cha Shuo saluted again: "My son has remembered." He didn't know how happy he was at this moment. He could finally tell what was hidden in his heart. He finally didn't have to pretend in front of others. He persuaded himself from the bottom of his heart that maybe everything was a delusion.
His mother is long gone.
He was led through things in a daze in the past, but he had to do and see things in the future by himself.
