When I got up early in the morning, I stretched out first. I thought it would be tiring to dream. But to be honest, I touched my neck and felt a thin line thicker than my hair. When I lowered my head, I saw that it was still glowing.
A touch of gold. Looking down, I saw a piece of jade with a faint green color. I was shocked. It was not a dream! That unicorn was real. As an atheist, I began to understand that this world is really too big.
So many unknown things.
The unicorn seemed to have said that no one could untie the unicorn beard except him. That meant that if someone tried to snatch it, they would cut off my head. I suddenly touched my face hard and hid it quickly.
Get up, my life is at stake, and I can't let my mother know. I know, how long does it take to explain it clearly? If I can't explain it clearly, it doesn't matter if she has a fever because I still have it. If I really want to explain it clearly, then she won't be sad to death, and I'll give it to her.
I'm scared to death.
I hid the jade, got up, fetched water, and washed myself. Then it was time to cook. As usual, I cooked vegetable porridge today. Maybe it was because the food I ate in my dream last night counted, but I wasn’t really hungry. So today I just cooked my mother’s porridge.
One portion. After cooking, I brought it to my mother's room. At this time, my father, who I hadn't seen for a month, came in.
"Just eat this." He looked at the porridge in my hand and asked.
I cursed in my mind: Nonsense, didn’t you see it? I’ve been taking it for almost two months.
"If I had known this, why did I have to do this in the first place? This is yours?" Dad asked, holding a bracelet.
I poked my head in and saw, wasn't it given to the servant by my mother?
"Son, please go out and play for a while. Your father and I have something to talk about." My mother ignored him and said to me.
"Well, I'll go out first. Mom, if anything happens, call me," I replied. I didn't want to see that father anymore. I wasn't really Xiao Shi, anyway, he didn't recognize me in his heart.
I sat on the steps outside the door, looking at the half-open gate of the courtyard. Several servants were guarding the door. Why should I lock it? I have been illegally imprisoned for so long. There is no justice. One day I will take my mother to travel around the world.
, never come back.
What on earth were they talking about? I have only met this father twice. The first time he almost drowned, and the second time he broke my mother’s legs. I guess nothing good happened this time. Thinking of this, I got up and sneaked over
Next to the door, if you look through the crack in the door, you can see quite clearly. So a dilapidated door is also beneficial.
"This jade bracelet was our token at that time. How could you just give it to the servant so casually?" The father looked at my mother and asked with a little pain.
"My son is still young and doesn't understand anything. I want her to live well." My mother looked out the window and said calmly.
"I know what happened to Shi'er. I was confused." He said, feeling a little regretful. But what I cared about more was that he put down the jade bracelet again. I just thought, it's best not to take it back.
, then we can add some food.
"Just think of it as an apology for the wrong things I did before." Mother sighed and said.
"Lian Xin, is Shi'er really my daughter?" That dad came up with this topic again.
"The deceased is just my daughter, Lian Xin. We are living a good life now," the mother said calmly. Lian Xin thought to himself: when he really has the heart to throw the deceased into the water without caring about any affection, what will happen in the future?
The deceased is no longer his daughter. Now she is just the daughter of my heart, my heart. After you broke my leg, I also understood that the friendship between you and me was long gone.
"Lian Xin, if you need anything else, just tell the housekeeper." The father looked at the mother who was speechless.
I'm just waiting for your words. There's a lot needed here.
"Then ask the housekeeper to bring me the guzheng." Mom only made this request. If I don't go in now, how long will I have to wait?
"Daddy, please don't lock up your mother and your deceased son. Your deceased son will never run around again." I pulled the old man's sleeve and said. I despised myself several times in my heart, but this opportunity must not be missed, and it will never come back.
,At this time, resources must be fully utilized.
"Are you still using the lock? I won't go to your main courtyard anymore, and I can't go there anymore. I will live there from now on. You go!" Mom said, looking at her feet.
"I will ask the housekeeper to bring all your things over, and I will also bring you the monthly payment every month. I will also ask a maid to come over." He stood up.
"There's no need to call any maid over, we will take care of ourselves." Mother said firmly.
"I will take good care of my mother." I walked to my mother's bed. I thought, there is not enough to eat, and I have to raise another one, and let us drink the northwest wind.
Dad looked at me and left.
After all, they were husband and wife before. It seems that maybe the parents really had a relationship. Maybe they really loved each other, but a man's love can only last for a period of time. But a woman spends her whole life on that relationship. I don't want that.
so.
In the afternoon, the housekeeper delivered clothes as expected. He also sent people to repair a few rooms.
I walked around and took a look. It would be best to take this opportunity to renovate everything here. Naturally, I had to dig more and work for them. That group of people could just leave after repairing the house.
As a result, I was yelled at twice, three times, and four times.
, not to mention that the stove in the kitchen was refurbished and the well was rebuilt... In the end, I had to flush the hut before I left. Before leaving, I heard them say, "Where is the fourth lady here?"
, better than the market lady next door who sells tofu!
My mother only held the guzheng and stroked it gently, like an old friend after a long absence. She just watched quietly...
The next day, another second lady came here.
"Hey, sister, I'm here to see you." The voice came in before the courtyard door opened.
As soon as I heard that voice, I knew it was the beautiful bird. And the person who came was not good.
"What are you doing here? My dear, put these in the next room, be good!" After my mother finished giving instructions, she continued to look at the guzheng without raising her head.
That man was dressed so brilliantly today. He was accompanied by a maid, who was also very high-spirited.
I just grabbed some clothes and walked out. I stood outside the door and listened, not knowing what the second lady would do to my mother.
"Sister, why do you say that? Let me see if you are doing well." She sneered.
""I'm living a good life, better than before, no need for calculations or frame-ups." My mother raised her head and continued: "Sister, aren't you tired?"
"Huh! I'm staying in your old Chunhua Courtyard now." After saying that, he looked at the things he had brought and said coldly: "The Prime Minister is also very kind to you. Sister, just stay well when you are tired.
Let’s rest here. Ye’er, let’s go!”
The second lady waved her hand and broke the tea cup on the table before walking away.
"Ye'er, you can take care of yourself in the future." Mother said calmly without looking at the maid. The maid snorted coldly and followed her out.
I looked at it for a long time, it was so cloudy and foggy, what was going on? I really couldn’t understand it.
"Mom, what's going on? Can you tell Shi'er?" I walked in and looked at the debris on the ground and asked.
"Die!" Mom touched my face and said, "I did a lot of wrong things in a single thought. Although your life is not lost in my hands, you will eventually die because of me. If you do wrong things, there will be retribution. So, my dear, you will be punished in the future.
You must be a good person. Don't be like Mom. Also, try not to have too much contact with them in the future. Mom just mistrusted Ye Ercai... Remember, don't trust others easily, you know?" Mom is very serious.
looked into my eyes and said.
"But didn't they say that Shi'er pushed the third sister into the lotus pond and injured the third sister?" It seems that Ye'er must have been the personal maid beside my mother. It was probably planted or bribed by others. So.
My mother is so determined not to be a maid called daddy. Then have I ever done that kind of thing? Anyway, I have lost my memory, so I should be able to ask.
"No, my dear, my mother loved you too much in the past. Although you were unruly, she knew that you had a good heart. It was your mother's fault. She shouldn't have let you go that day. You were already at odds with your third sister. You didn't do anything during the pull.
Be careful if she pulls off your sleeve too hard,
When I arrived that day, you fell to the ground, and your third sister fell into the lotus pond and injured her leg. But the servants all said that you pushed her down, even Ye'er said so. She also said so.
...." After saying this, my mother sighed again.
It's okay, okay. It seems that "I" used to be a bit unruly. I just heard from the housekeeper that the third sister is fine. Otherwise, dad wouldn't have found out in conscience and came to see us.
But I can also see that this mother really gave up on this father. But don’t you still have me? I just treat it as your only relative. Let’s live well together, so I comforted you: “Isn’t my mother still dead?
Son? It will be fine in the future."
When she heard this, she reached out and touched my head, hugged me and smiled slightly.
