Chapter 79: Death
Wan Chu'er was very puzzled, this thing seemed to have existed for a long time, why hadn't she seen it in her previous life.
Bai Zhixi picked up the jade pendant, rubbed it slowly, and said slowly:
"Xiaobai calls me Aunt Bai, I think you also know my relationship with their family. Mom will tell you the inside story now, otherwise when I go, I'm afraid this story will never be told again. ”
Bai Zhixi didn't plan to talk about this incident, but it was really not glorious to say.
But she really didn't worry about her daughter, for fear that her daughter didn't have anything to worry about, and if she couldn't think about it, she would do something stupid.
After thinking about it, she remembered this jade pendant and decided to give her daughter something to do, so that she could think about it again before doing something stupid.
Wan Chu'er sat quietly next to her, listening to Bai Zhixi tell the story while reminiscing:
"Before liberation, your grandfather was a big landlord in the countryside, and your grandmother cherished her very much, and even sent her to the city to study, and finally found a way to marry her to the Bai family in Wutong City.
When your grandmother was twenty years old, she gave birth to Xiaobai's father, and then she never had another child until 1959, when your grandmother was twenty-four years old.
That winter, your grandmother went back to the countryside to visit her parents, and on the way she saved a man, who was wounded, broke one of his legs, and fell unconscious in the snow, but fortunately it was cold, and froze his wounds, otherwise he would have bled to death.
Your grandmother has always been kind-hearted, and since she saw it, she couldn't see death without saving her, and it happened to be not far from your grandfather's house, so she went back to call people and carried them back.
At that time, it was a difficult time, where did someone else's family have extra food to support an outsider, or an injured and unknown person.
In the end, the man stayed at your grandfather's house to recuperate, and your grandmother took care of him for more than a month. ”
"More than a month?" Wan Chu'er couldn't help but interject and asked, "Grandma has been at her mother's house for so long, why doesn't her mother-in-law's family come to pick her up?"
Bai Zhixi smiled and said: "At that time, it was not easy to go to her mother's house, if a woman went back to her mother's house once, she would basically live in her mother's house for a few months. ”
Wan Chu'er nodded and gave Bai Zhixi some water.
"That person has good physical fitness, and he recovered in more than a month, your grandmother was his savior, but he took advantage of your grandfather and their outing, strengthened your grandmother, left this jade pendant, and the person disappeared. ”
Speaking of this, the corners of Bai Zhixi's mouth flashed with a trace of disdain.
"Your grandmother didn't dare to stay at her mother's house any longer, so she hurried back to the city, and not long after she returned, she had me. ”
Wan Chu'er was very surprised in her heart, she didn't expect this kind of dog blood to happen to her.
Bai Zhixi seemed to remember some bad memories, she didn't speak for a while, and Wan Chu'er didn't urge, silently digesting what she had just heard.
Isn't the person who left the jade pendant his grandfather his grandfather actually a strong alkali criminal, and a villain who will take revenge!
At the same moment, in an old house in the capital, an old man sneezed and scolded: "Which rabbit cub, scold Lao Tzu!"
"When I was sixteen years old, Xiaobai's grandfather finally found out that I was actually ...... It's a ...... Hybrids. "Bai Zhixi said the word 'mongrel' with difficulty.
Wan Chu'er immediately held her hand, wanting to give her strength, and said, "Mom, you're not. ”
Bai Zhi slowly shook her head plausibly and continued:
"The Bai family is a well-known family in Wutong County, if it spreads, the Bai family can't afford to lose that person, and someone in the Bai family proposed to send me away far away...... But in the end, your grandmother left the house and left the Bai family with me.
This jade pendant was given to me by your grandmother when she died, and she said that if you have the chance, you will return the jade pendant.
It seems that this task has to be entrusted to you, to help your mother fulfill your grandmother's last wish, okay?"
Wan Chuer stretched out her hand to take the tiger roaring jade pendant, and looked carefully, the tiger head pattern was delicately carved and lifelike, the tentacles were cold and warm, and when she turned over the back, there was a word: Xiao.
If this jade pendant is that person's thing, it means that that person's life is extraordinary, and with the word 'Xiao' on it, you may be able to find one or two clues.
If the man had taken it from elsewhere and thrown it to his grandmother, the task would have been too difficult.
Wan Chu'er didn't understand a little, the grandmother who harmed her was expelled from her husband's house, what did her grandmother do with this jade pendant, it was better to sell it directly for money, and what to do with that person.
She said the doubts in her heart, but Bai Zhi was tired and wanted to rest for a while.
At this time, nothing was as important as Bai Zhixi's rest, Wan Chu'er hurriedly helped Bai Zhixi to lie down, and watched her close her eyes before leaving the room.
Bai Zhixi obviously didn't want to answer her question, Wan Chu'er played with the tiger roaring jade pendant, guessing in her heart that 'going back' was just an excuse, and her grandmother wanted her mother to find her biological father and get a little shelter.
And Bai Zhixi is now giving her the jade pendant, but I am afraid that she has the same mind as her grandmother, and wants her to find her relatives and have a little more concern in this world.
It seems that Bai Zhixi doesn't have the slightest thought about the Bai family, and she can't say that she still has a grudge against the Bai family.
Just looking at Bai Zhixi's expression, she didn't have a good impression of this biological father, otherwise she would never have mentioned it before.
Wan Chu'er decided that if she had the opportunity, she would find out the person who took revenge back then, and then throw Yu Pei in front of him, and then scold that person for her grandmother and mother.
Wolf-hearted man!
Two days later, Bai Zhixi passed away peacefully with a smile on her face, leaving her precious daughter.
An Lian aged a lot overnight and developed a lot of gray hair.
With the company and care of Xiaobai and An Lian, Wan Chuer sadly and quietly cremated Bai Zhixi, and then buried her ashes with her grandmother in the countryside.
Her father Wan Shiguo was a martyr who sacrificed and was buried in the martyr's cemetery in Wutong County, and Bai Zhixi's ashes could not enter the martyr's cemetery.
After sending Bai Zhixi away, Wan Chu'er instantly felt that her body and mind were empty, as if something had been poached.
rejected Xiaobai and An Lian's kindness, Wan Chuer lived alone in a small courtyard, slowly adapting to life without Bai Zhixi.
She wakes up before five o'clock every morning and never sleeps again.
In the summer, when the sun dawned early, Wan Chu'er got up and washed her face with cold water, and then went out and ran along the streets and alleys.
When Bai Zhixi left, she said to her: "If you miss your mother, go for a run, your mother will accompany you in the wind." ”
Wutong County has not fully woken up at five o'clock, and the streets are often empty, only Wan Chu'er is running alone.
After running for more than an hour, there were gradually more people on the street, Wan Chu'er turned around and ran towards Phoenix Mountain, ran to the foot of the mountain, and then climbed up the mountain with all his might, found the relatively hidden big stone, stretched his limbs and lay on it.
As soon as I ran down, most of the gloom in my heart would disappear, and only gasping was left.
