Chapter Fifty-Eight: A Strange Identity
The father sitting in the hall slapped the table angrily and shouted angrily: "You beast, you actually brought back a fireworks woman and told me that you want to marry her!"
"Father, please calm her anger, Lu Qing was originally the daughter of the official eunuch's family, but she was sold to the Qinglou because her father recruited an adulterer and framed her family and was raided, but she didn't sell her body, she was innocent, and the child begged her father to fulfill it!"
"You...... Thou wicked beast, since she is the daughter of a sinner...... How dare you...... You don't think about it! You son of a bad man! How dare you talk to me like that! You, you ...... Are you trying to me off!" said my father, coughing violently against his chest.
"Firefly, no wonder your father said you, as a mother, I also think you are too ignorant, although our Zou family is not a famous family, but it is also a white family, it is not difficult for you to marry a lady and a small family, why is it ...... I like this kind of woman! Alas...... "The middle-aged woman on the side hurriedly brought her father a cup of tea, and at the same time helped complain.
Lu Qing hid behind Jin Ying and shivered, her face turned pale, her long eyelashes fluttered a few times, and she almost burst into tears, not knowing whether she was afraid or angry.
The people of the Zou family don't want to see themselves, she has long been mentally prepared for this, and there are sisters in the Qinglou who can live the rest of their lives as wives and concubines after being good, as long as Jin Ying treats herself sincerely, she has no complaints even if she is a concubine and a maidservant.
She believed that in the years to come, they would learn her meek and virtuous nature, and that their son would not bring back a filthy and vain woman.
She had already made up her mind to accept their misunderstanding and contempt, even insults and insults, but she didn't expect all this to happen in such a short time.
As soon as Jin Ying walked into the door with her, she said a few words, and the ruthless words of the two old men were like thorns, piercing a knife into her heart, making her feel breathless, and she could only hide behind Jin Ying to avoid all this.
Jin Ying frowned, listening to his father scolding in a rage, and his mother kept complaining, he was at a loss in his heart: "Why am I standing here listening to their lessons? Yes, it must be because they are my biological parents, but are they really my parents?"
"I have lived for more than 400 years, and no one has ever dared to speak to me like this! Not even Zou Xiao has ever treated me like this! Why should they! Yes, it must be because they are my parents...... Who are Zou Xiao's parents? What are parents...... "He had two thoughts in his mind at the same time, which involuntarily caused him to have some such thoughts.
On the way home from out of town these days, I often have some strange thoughts, as if everything around me is not really a life experience.
My parents, my family, and even the world I live in are unreal. I'm not a "golden firefly", no, I'm a "golden firefly", but I'm not this golden firefly.
What a strange thought! He shook his head vigorously to shake off the thought. Where exactly did such a ridiculous idea come from?
In the midst of his parents' babbling words, he quietly reached behind his back, and Lu Qing gently placed his hand in his palm. Jin Hotaru grabbed Lu Qing's cold fingers tightly, wanting to give Lu Qing a little support, and also wanted to get support from Lu Qing.
Now for Jin Hotaru, only Lu Qing is real, and it is clear that he believes that it exists.
"Just one word, drive this shitty woman out immediately, or I won't recognize you as a son!" After saying that, the father slammed the teacup on the ground.
"No!"
"Beast, how dare you talk back?"
Jin Ying met her father's eyes and said firmly: "No! Lu Qing is not a lowly woman! I will take her home, I will marry her as my wife, I will not drive her away!
What he can be sure of is that he has always made his own decisions, his future depends on him, and he doesn't care if others find it ridiculous. Yes, that's it! Never let someone else dictate your own affairs!
"You...... You brute! you ...... You...... I'm so angry!" My father was so angry that he almost turned his back on him.
The mother is always partial to her son, she patted her husband's back to make him feel good, and blamed her son: "Alas, you child, so ignorant, how can you talk to your father like this!"
In order to avoid being scolded by her son, she immediately pointed the finger at Lu Qing who was hiding behind her son, she glared at her and snorted, pointing at Lu Qing and scolding: "It's all you, a fox spirit, a cheap woman in the kiln, and you are the shadow of your demagoguery! What kind of indiscriminate means did you use to confuse my son! I tell you, you'd better die with this heart, a cheap person like you, don't want to step into the door of our Zou family in this life!"
"I'm not ......" Lu Qing burst into tears aggrievedly, her lips trembling, and she barely said a few words.
"You shameless slut!, you'd better get out of our house quickly!" With that, she rushed behind her son, grabbed Lu Qing and raised her hand to give her a slap.
I only heard a "snap", and his mother's slap hit Lu Qing's face hard, and also hit Jin Hotaru's heart, his heart ached, and when his mother raised her hand again, he grabbed her wrist.
"Let go, let me kill this little slut!"
"Stop!"
"Let go of me! Don't stop me! I'm going to kill that bitch!"
"I told you to stop!
"Ouch, ouch......" She couldn't help but scream in pain, and with a push from the golden firefly, she took several steps back and almost fell.
Her eyes widened in disbelief, and she pointed at Jin Ying and said in a trembling voice, "You...... You...... He did it to me for this*...... I'm your mother! I'm your mother! You're ...... for this."
"No, you're not my mother!" Jin Ying shouted, "I don't have parents! Yes, I never had parents! I don't care who you are, you can't be my parents anyway!"
For a moment, all kinds of thoughts suddenly flashed through his mind, Yan'er made him believe that his judgment was correct, he and Yan'er had been dependent on each other for more than 400 years, and they had no parents, so the pair of men and women in front of him were definitely not his parents.
"Shadow, don't do it for me......" Lu Qing grabbed his hand and choked up, "Don't ...... for me and your parents"
"I don't know what this is all about, but I know you're all fake! Get out of here!" he interrupted Lu Qing and shouted at the man and woman.
Ji Ao's injuries were not light, and he hadn't received any treatment in the past few days, so he was getting worse day by day.
But he didn't want to lie on the straw bed crawling with all kinds of insects, instead, he stubbornly leaned against the wall, and even had a cynical smile on his face.
"It's good to lick this little wound......" Somehow, he involuntarily had the thought.
I always feel like I should lick my wounds. Doesn't that look like a dog? He laughed at his own thoughts. Anyway, he's been thinking about it these days, not knowing why.
"Hey, it's time to eat!"
The head of the cell beat the iron lock through the bar, and put a rancid nest head and half a bowl of vegetable soup that I don't know what was in it outside the door.
The cell boss glanced at him and muttered: "Your kid's life is so hard, you should have died a long time ago! Anyway, you will live until the day of the Ming canonical punishment! People can clearly ask for your life in prison, you should die early and be reincarnated early, so you can suffer a lot less living crimes." ”
Ji Ao smiled miserably. He knew that the family of the soldier he killed wanted his life in prison, so he had been tortured to death by the cell boss and officials for the past few days, and they had to put him to death, but he didn't care.
"How do I eat this garbage, I'm going to go to a bar, eat lobster, Japanese food, steak...... Whiskey, Moutai, I want to eat people, I want to eat monsters, I want to date beautiful women...... What the hell am I talking about?" he muttered, grabbing the head of the nest and squeezing it in his hand, breaking it off piece by piece, and throwing it around.
He picked up the soup and sniffed it, and immediately wrinkled his nose and said, "What is this, it stinks so much, even the 'pig food' cooked by Jin Ying is not as good as ......"
"Golden Firefly......" he looked up at the long shadows cast by the trees outside the window, "There are fireflies all around...... Who is Hotaru Gold?
"Ah......h
"I really want to eat someone......" Although he doesn't eat the food in prison these days, he is really hungry.
Cannibalism? Why do you have this idea, "Eat a sacrifice to beat people's teeth"? This is so familiar? How can people eat people! Only monsters eat people!
Monster?
Monster...... I've seen it before! I've definitely seen youkai before.
Ji Ao suddenly remembered the moment he was arrested. The youkai was like an ape, and the long claws that grabbed his feet before he died......
"It turns out that it's a monster!" Ji Ao was not surprised when he thought of this, but suddenly realized. He was amazed that he wasn't surprised, why did he think he deserved to see a youkai?
