Chapter 033: The Key

Why did my mother want to gouge out her eyes back then?

Everyone said it was because my mother was crazy. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

But even though she was young at the time, she still remembered the words that her mother muttered - "It's all the eyes that are to blame." The moment her mother pressed her finger to her eyelid, there was a reason and a purpose.

Taiwei thought about it for many years, but she never understood the mystery of her mother's words.

Until her mother was dying, she listened to her mother's words and finally asked the doubts in her heart. But the mother just shook her head, grabbed her hand tightly, and said with a confused look in her eyes, it was all madman's behavior...... It was she who was crazy to do such a terrible thing to her own daughter......

She was in a trance, as if she had forgotten what she had said in the past.

Taiwei was in his previous life, and he didn't get an answer.

At this moment, she was standing in front of her mother's door, with the moon above her head like water, and her expression suddenly became lonely. She withdrew her hand, which was about to reach out.

She rushed in, and even if she saw her mother, she probably wouldn't get an answer.

Mother hadn't seen her in years.

She went in late at night to sneak in with her mother, and she would scare her mother if she didn't keep it.

The thought flashed, and Taiwei pursed the corners of her mouth vigorously and took a step back.

The time has not yet come, and it is not advisable to be impulsive.

She stepped back step by step, her steps were fast, and in a blink of an eye, the person had already left Ziwei Garden. The route she had traveled during the day was all imprinted in her mind. Taiwei returned to her yard and quietly walked towards Ding's mother's house.

Ding's mother is quite powerful in Jixiangyuan and lives in a good house.

The furnishings in the house are dazzling, although it is not too slight, but it is still much more luxurious than ordinary servants.

Taiwei walked to her door and grabbed the lock hanging from her door in the night.

It was a very ordinary copper pillow lock.

The front is shaped like the word "concave", and the end face is square and triangular coexists. Taiwei stretched out his index finger and gently touched it inch by inch.

The tentacles are in the shape of a "one".

That's where the lock comes in.

In the dimness, there was no light, but she seemed to be able to see, grasping the lock with one hand and taking out two copper wires with the other. When she first came back, she didn't have anything on her hand, and the two copper wires were taken from the gadgets on the Bogu shelf by taking advantage of the unpreparedness of others.

However, such a lock is easy for her.

It doesn't matter if you don't have something at your fingertips.

When Master taught her for the first time, he said that people who are not right-hearted in this skill should never learn it.

Taiwei listened to it at the time, and thought in a panic that she set fire to it and killed people, I am afraid that it has nothing to do with the concentric technique, and she probably can't learn the doorway.

But the master looked at her, as if he was smiling, but he still taught her in the end.

She never asked Master why, and Master never told her. It wasn't until the master was dying and his mind was gradually moving away that he sighed and said to her, it doesn't matter.

In Master's heart, she is not bad.

She has always been just the little girl who was in a hurry and pretended to be a man but was recognized by the master at a glance.

To her, Master is another mother.

Basking in the moonlight, Taiwei held her breath and pricked up her ears to listen carefully to the sound of the pillars moving. One time, two times...... It's on!

She took the lock, pushed the door open a crack, and flashed sideways inside.

Ding's mother has not returned from leave, and she will not be able to come back until dawn at the earliest, and now this room is empty, not even the slightest sound.

The sound of footsteps became softer.

The moonlight shone in through the curtain, and a patch of hoarfrost fell on the ground.

She stepped on it gently, narrowed her eyes, and pulled out the fire fold that she had prepared in the morning. Her eyes are not as strong as in the past. Next year is younger and her body is younger, but she has become weaker.

It's a shame.

Tai sighed to herself, and walked quickly towards Ding's mother's bed.

She blocked the glimmer of the fire fold under her hand, and after carefully walking to the bedside, she bent down slightly, took off the key to the cash box that she had handed over from Bizhu, and stuffed it under Ding's mother's pillow.

Ding's mother was not there, there was no one on the bed, the bedding was neat, and only a pillow lay there quietly.

Taiwei put things away, raised his hand to extinguish the fire, and quietly retreated.

The lock on the door is hung as it is.

Behind her, on the top of the moon, the night was already deep.

Back under the window of her room, she jumped in, closed the window and took off her shoes, and went back to bed in one go. After lying down, she stretched out her hand and pulled a quilt, covered her head and closed her eyes, and finally began to sleep.

Although she sleeps lightly, she falls asleep quickly.

This night, she only woke up three or two times in a daze, and then she noticed a white light outside the window.

It was still dark in the room, but it was very different from the darkness in the middle of the night. Tai Wei took a deep breath of the cool air of the morning and buried his head on the pillow.

It's time for Ding's mother to come back.

It's time for Bizhu to call her up, too.

Thinking about the hour, she heard footsteps outside.

Sure enough, it was Bizhu.

Bizhu walked to the side of the bed and stood quietly for a while, as if she didn't dare to reach out to pick up the tent, and hesitated for a moment before she called softly "girl".

Taiwei sat up and let out a squirming sound.

Bizhu knew that she was awake, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and reached out and lifted the tent and hung it in the copper hook. But her eyes wandered, and she never dared to look at Taiwei: "According to the girl's instructions, the slave and maid specially came to call you half an hour earlier today." ā€

Taiwei smiled when she heard this: "You are really honest." ā€

These words should be boastful, but Bizhu listens to it, but it has a different taste. She glanced at Taiwei carefully, and when she saw that she was still smiling, she panicked for no reason.

Taiwei asked, "Is Mother Ding back?"

Bizhu shook her head: "Not yet." ā€

She thought that Ding's mother would be able to come back early in the morning, but she didn't want Ding's mother to delay, so she delayed it until the afternoon.

Aunt Cui's side, there was no movement.

Bizhu was a little uneasy.

It wasn't until more than half of the time that Ding's mother was late.

As soon as she entered the door, the things were not left, so she came to look for Taiwei first. After meeting, she opened her mouth and called "girl" and her face sank. That posture and expression, it seems that she is the master.

And Taiwei is just a servant who can teach her a lesson.

She sat down on her own, staring at Taiwei like a needle, and her tone was very condensed: "What the slave maid said on the other day, the girl seems to have never listened to a word in her heart. Your ability to cause trouble can't be compared to the cunning. Is there a wolf or a tiger or a leopard in this house? You can't stay still for a moment, so you have to look for the bad luck of the four girls?"

Ding's mother is Aunt Cui's person, and she is dedicated to Aunt Cui's mother and daughter, and the more she looks at it, the more annoyed she becomes: "You made a mistake and still don't admit it, is it possible that you really feel that you have been wronged?"

Taiwei sat on the couch, hanging her head all the time, looking a little depressed and unconfident.

Ding's mother struck while the iron was hot, and said: "You are innocent, not ......"

"Mother Ding!" Suddenly, Taiwei raised her head and interrupted her, "You are so bold!"
