Where are the children so easy to find? They have a limited distance to move, as if they were bound by the locust tree, because of the locust tree, they did not turn into dust in the sun, because of the locust tree, they could not stay away from it, they could only look at the joy and sorrow in the main building.

Day by day, year by year, the child in the building is born, the child in the building grows up, the child in the building leaves home... There are also those adults who left together, the eldest young master who used to be loved by Sang Xiuyun is long gone, The deep love she thought finally forgot the appearance of the other party, The residents in the building don't know how many they have changed, and time seems to be meaningless.

"Oh, how can you live in such a small place!"

"If you can't expand it, you can add a floor, and you don't have to go outside to buy wood, and I don't think these trees are useless, just cut them down. ”

"What? Locust trees can't be used? What kind of superstitious thinking is this, our family doesn't believe in this, it's okay, just use these trees, if you don't do it, I'll find someone else." ”

"It's all cut, just add an attic. ”

"Oh, Mommy, how can you believe their nonsense, if they really attract ghosts, how can people in the past plant them? ”

"Okay, okay, you can rest assured, leave this matter to me, there will be nothing at all!"

The locust tree was cut down, and Sang Xiuyun in the tree was a little scared at first, if the tree fell, what would happen to them?

Will it be in the dust?

It didn't.

The ordinary trees were cut down and then processed into flat boards, Sang Xiuyun didn't feel anything, and in the end she only felt that she was following those boards, and then, she finally entered the main building.

I thought I didn't want to be there, but when I really came in, I didn't want to leave.

During the day she could not show her head, hiding in the woods, the disembodied ghost did not know how to hide, she hid by feeling, and at night, like the real mistress of the main building, she would float out and sit on the sofa in the hall on the first floor, like the wife she had seen for the first time, and sit there and watch everything in the main building until dawn.

There are so many families in this family, even the attic has a maid, and the little girl who lives with her mother is born to become a maid, she grows up day by day, and her good-looking appearance and docile character gradually become the existence of others to take and seek.

How sad, another woman who fell in love with the eldest young master.

At that moment, the little maid in front of her seemed to overlap with her previous self, and she seemed to have seen her tragic end.

Love, the love praised by the new era also needs reciprocal conditions, she didn't understand it at the beginning, she hurt herself, and now she finds that she is not the stupidest one, and there are people who are just as stupid, but there is no comfort in her heart.

"The war is in turmoil, and I heard that this place is going to be unpeaceful soon, and we have to leave. ”

"Arou, this manor is left to you, you are good, you must be good. ”

"Yes, I'll definitely come back to you..."

The war separated a pair of lovers, which is good, did not experience the most painful ordeal, separated when there was still love, maybe in the future, there will really be a day when I recall the beauty of this moment.

The manor was sold first, and perhaps all the wives were so clever that they knew how to keep their sons from marrying unmatched women, and they knew how to dispel the delusions of others.

"Please, don't let me go, I don't have a place to go, I can be a maid, just let me live here, I can live in the attic, I won't take up space. ”

The humble prayer is a good hope, what if one day, he returns, what if she can't leave, what if he can't find her?

What kind of relationship does it take to think so much for each other?

"She's so stupid, that eldest young master won't come back, even if she comes back, there must be a serious young grandmother by her side, these people, they're all like this..."

Sang Xiuyun turned around and saw the smoky face, she didn't know where she got the cigarettes, the appearance of smoking was extremely hazy, her face was hidden behind the smoke, and the look in her eyes was so obscured that she couldn't see clearly.

The maid named "Arou" gave birth to a child, her first child was aborted by his wife's medicine, this one, which was left by the eldest young master when he left, she was tormented with anticipation, and the most painful moment, only those who have experienced it know how painful it will be, like death.

She didn't dare to cry, for fear of reaching the master's house downstairs, and she clenched the corners of the quilt, and after a long torment she cut the umbilical cord of the child, a newborn child, a boy.

"Can you survive if you're so weak?"

In the quiet of the night, they were the only ones who watched the birth of this child, he was indeed very weak, and his cry was like that of a mouse, and everyone who saw him would be worried, will this child live?

She was also worried.

Maybe it was because of the same painful birth process, or maybe because of the child's weakness, she took it to heart when she saw it, and then she often went to see it, and then found that the child was getting worse and worse.

Ah Rou began to cry, she began to pray to the gods and Buddhas, every day she would cry when she looked at the child, and then one day, she suddenly said: "If the gods and Buddhas are useless, please ghost mother, please, as long as you can let this child live, he will be your child in the future..."

Inexplicable induction, invisible connection, Sang Xiuyun felt a mysterious existence, allowing her to touch this child, she leaned down, this is her child.

The child's cry began to be louder, and her presence seemed to be seen in her dark eyes, and joy surged in Sang Xiuyun's heart again, and the joy she hadn't felt for a long time gave her a smile on her stiff face, "Child, this is my child." ”

"It's yours, and no one is robbing you, as for being happy like that?"

"I'll take care of him. ”

"What's the hurry, when he dies, he can naturally take care of it. ”

"I don't want him to die, I want him to live — I want him to live. ”

"Then you don't touch him less, don't you know how heavy the yin qi is on us? ”

"Well, I see. ”

Maybe because they are far away, the child is really getting better day by day, but he often can't sleep well at night, always loves to cry, Arou is a lot busy during the day, and it is difficult to wake up at night, Sang Xiuyun often goes to see, she tries to restrain her breath, quietly coaxes, in fact, it is very easy to coax, as long as he covers him with a quilt and pats his back, he will sleep obediently.

"Actually, I was scared by you, maybe I fainted!"

"Yes, yes?" Sang Xiuyun didn't know the truth of this sentence, this woman, many of her words were indistinguishable.

"Just kidding, he can't see us, you forget, we're ghosts, no matter how much we pretend to be like us, we're not human anymore. ”

yes, they're all ghosts.

"I think he can see me. Sang Xiuyun whispered that she wasn't arguing, she was just saying to herself.

The boy grew up day by day, and Arou also changed from "Little Zheng" to "Sister Zheng", and she had a child again, which was the old man in the building, and the pot-bellied old man gave enough convenience to let her boy go to school and receive a good education.

"This is the eldest young master's child, and he will be as good as the eldest young master in the future. Sister Zheng made a wish in front of the tablet, which was the tablet she set up for the ghost mother.

Because of this, Sang Xiuyun felt as if she was stronger and could go farther, and then she found another child, a girl, who was given to the ghost mother.

"Ah, speaking of which, I've heard the legend of the ghost mother before, but I didn't expect the ghost mother to come like this. "In the dead of night, women would occasionally sit with her in the hall, and they would not actually touch anything, but they would maintain their habit of sitting.

Sang Xiuyun just smiled and didn't speak, in front of her, the naughty girl was playing with building blocks, and the leftovers of the locust tree board were built at random on her hands, and it was not a good thing to have no entity, so you don't have to worry about not being able to lift heavy things, and you don't have to worry about being pricked by wooden thorns.

"Mom, why can't I play with my brother? I want to play with my brother. ”

The little girl who didn't look cute said this, like a coquettish voice, but in exchange for a stern refusal, since Sang Xiuyun knew that yin qi was harmful, she naturally wouldn't allow her to approach him at will, they were all her children, but she was a little biased and wanted him to be good.

"Ah Nan is obedient, obediently play with building blocks!"

Sang Xiuyun felt the meaning of "bear" from the child for the first time, that time Ah Nan threw the building blocks in a temper and found a "ball", which was really not a suitable toy, Sang Xiuyun felt that she was uncomfortable to look at, but she couldn't dissuade Ah Nan's playfulness, rather than letting her unconsciously hurt her "brother", let her play with the ball herself.

It's really hard to take a child.

After having Ah Nan, Sang Xiuyun never looked for the child again, she just wanted to take care of these two, one watched him grow up, and the other accompanied her forever, I didn't expect...

He can really see her, he calls her "Mom", he is filial to her... Things that he never dreamed of became a reality like that, and his weight became heavier.

Fire, the burning fire made her feel pain again, it really hurt, it seemed like she had never felt before, but it gave her a feeling of being alive, is this the temperature?

"What are you doing in a daze, if you don't leave, we'll really be in ashes! Don't forget that you still have a child!"

"Mom, let's go!"

The black gap was like a crack in the door, being pulled, Sang Xiuyun squeezed in, the instant coldness made her come back to her senses immediately, looking back, she could see the glimmer of light that emitted heat, through the bright light, she seemed to see his shock, the face in the firelight was not distinct, but it made her feel a trace of comfort, this is not what he did.

The darkness around her seemed to be one, gradually engulfing everything, she fell into it, her consciousness seemed to be withdrawn, and she floated high into the sky again, only this time with company, the little hand kept pulling her, up, up...

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

After the fire, it is a world that she can never turn back to.
