Chapter 236: Where is the Prosperous Sheng's Song Falling-Jade Shenyuan Fanwai (1)
Where is the prosperous sheng song falling-Yushen Yuan Fanwai (1)
The night was as cold as water, and a blood-colored bright moon hung in the atrium, and the cold light sprinkled in the courtyard, through the cracks of the dense cherry trees, and fell on the mottled stone table. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Yu Shenyuan leaned obliquely on the stone table, there was a pot of old wine called "worry-free" on the stone table, he poured himself a glass at random, because the action was too lazy, so that most of the wine was spilled, and it took a hundred taels of silver to buy two taels of wine, and he was not stingy in his opinion.
The wine glass was full, but he was not in a hurry to take the wine glass and drink it, but raised his cheeks to look at the blood-colored bright moon hanging on the opposite ridge in the sky.
But at a glance, he had already sunk into it, as if he had returned to that year again, and that night, it was also such a blood-colored moon in the sky, shining down on the Jade Mansion.
At that time, he was only seven or eight years old, it was the age of ignorance and naughtiness and did not know the taste of sorrow, because his father was Zhao into the palace in the afternoon, and he did not come back for a long time, so the family was waiting for him to come back to eat, and this wait, until the moon in the atrium, his stomach was already hungry and growled, but the family rules were very strict, and there were many rules, the elders did not call for rice, and their children could not shout hungry, after he raised his hand and tugged at his mother's sleeve and signaled with his eyes a few times to no avail, his mother asked him to take the lonely brother to the backyard to playγ
At that time, he thought that instead of sitting in the hall with his serious uncle and grandfather, he didn't even dare to breathe, and it was better to go to the backyard to find some snacks, so he took his younger brother with him.
However, what he didn't expect was that before they stepped into the backyard, they heard a noise in the front yard, there were many rules in the jade mansion, and it was rare to have such a noisy time, so although he was young at that time, he also knew that something must have happened, so he didn't care that he was still hungry, so he hurriedly dragged his younger brother all the way to the front hall that he had just walked away.
However, when the two of them turned the corner of the corridor, he saw the indelible image of this life, his father rushing towards them covered in blood, and at the same time he was protecting his mother on one hand.
Before he could panic and exclaim, his father had already pounced on them with his other hand and protected them in his arms, and said: "Ah Zhu, Ah Wen, Daddy knows that you are good children, and good children should listen to Daddy, and immediately leave the Jade Mansion with their mothers, and promise Daddy not to come back in the future." β
Speaking of this, a mouthful of blood had gushed out of Daddy's mouth, and he was really frightened, he had completely forgotten to cry, and only raised his hand and subconsciously held Daddy's sleeve tightly, as if this would keep him, a god-like father, by his side forever.
However, Daddy's voice was still gradually weak, he let go of the hand holding the shoulders of the two brothers, grabbed his palm, and looked at his eyes and said: "Ah Zhu, you are the smartest and sensible, and your younger brother is not as good as you, so you have to take care of your younger brother, and you must also take care of your mother on behalf of your father." β
As he spoke, he raised his hand and pushed away the two brothers who were still in shock, and then pushed the mother who was already tear-stained and said, "Madam, hurry, take them away, I have prepared the carriage outside the door, you can ......go quickly."
Before the words fell, an arrow with a fierce murderous aura pierced the peace of the night, whistling all the way from behind to finally piercing Daddy's chest, the sharp arrow with blood and water flashing in the cold moonlight.
At the same time, an exclamation cut his throat: "Dad-"
His father, however, would never respond to him again.
That night was also such a cool night, and it was also such a blood-colored night, with bloodthirsty and strange killings.
That night, he supported his younger brother, followed behind his mother, and stepped on the corpses of the most intimate and familiar faces in the courtyard, and fled step by step into the dark grid under the Jade Family Buddha Hall.
That night, as he passed by the antechamber, he watched as the besieging Janissaries in dark clothes slashed through the throats of his uncle and grandfather with sharp swords, and the splash of blood blurred his eyes.
It was a long, so desolate, so dark, and so quiet.
The three of them, mother and son, hid in the dark grid, and didn't even care about the atmosphere, so they heard the sound of ping-pong outside and gradually became quiet, and the three of them didn't dare to move, hugging in a small dark grid where they couldn't even stretch their bodies and could only bend over and hug their knees.
That night, the mother and son did not do any verbal communication, because at this time, no matter how many words they spoke, they would become redundant and cumbersome in the face of this unwarranted disaster.
Time had never passed as long as it had at that moment, so long that he thought he had passed a vicissitudes of life.
It wasn't until Steward Liu, the closest confidant of his father's side, pushed open the door of the secret compartment that he finally recovered from the shock of death.
Then, Steward Liu began to take them all the way to escape.
He clearly remembered that when he fled to the mass grave in the suburbs outside the city, he met the black-clothed assassins who were ambushed there, although he was still young and many things were not clear, but he also knew that these people were different from the Praetorian Guards who appeared in the Jade Mansion before and slaughtered the Yufu Manmen, otherwise, they could just intercept and kill in the open, why bother wearing black clothes and covering their faces.
However, even if he knew that they were not Janissaries, he couldn't change anything, his body was still too weak at a young age, and the little fist and foot kung fu he learned was not enough in front of these masters, Steward Liu tried his best to send their carriage out of the encirclement, but at this time, a man in black who suddenly came out from the side tore off the curtain of the carriage and dragged him out of the carriage.
He didn't remember how painful it was to fall off the carriage at that time, the only thing he remembered was the meaningful gaze of his mother on the carriage that was far away at that time, he was still young at the time, and he didn't know whether it was distressing or unbearable, or still entangled.
At the time, he couldn't understand it, but then he gradually became sensible and got used to the days of observing words and feelings, and he could already judge the mood of a person from a person's gesture or even a light eyebrow, but he no longer remembered what the look in his mother's eyes was like at that time.
β¦β¦
Thinking of this, a bitter smile appeared at the corner of Yu Shenyuan's mouth, he raised his hand and took the cup of "worry-free" that he had just poured for himself and drank it in one sip, but his mind came to mind that day, when he was in the Liao State Council Palace, through the hollow screen, when Yelu Jin was about to give the order to shoot him to death, the emotions in the queen's eyes were revealed.
And at this moment, the light in her eyes immediately evoked his memories of the past, and he suddenly remembered the expression of his mother who had gradually forgotten him over the years.
And at this time, when he understood the look in her eyes at that moment, he would rather not remember it, and would rather he not be able to read it.
Because at that moment, there was clearly no reluctance and forbearance in those eyes, her eyes were calm as water, if there was a trace of emotional fluctuations, then, there was also a bit of disgust and relief in that wave.
It's no wonder that he didn't understand it back then, how could he have thought that the culprit who overturned the Yu family was his mother, and he couldn't have imagined that she would even want to take his own life.
But he was her own son who was conceived in October!
He still remembers that when he had a fever, she would guard the hospital bed every step of the way, hum the most simple but touching nursery rhymes to him, say comforting words on the side when he was punished by his father, and quietly bring himself his favorite pastries when he was punished by the master......
This is his mother.
She is gentle, she is quiet and beautiful, she has the most beautiful beauty in the world, the most beautiful voice in the world, her sleeves have a fragrance that can calm his nerves, her eyebrows have a mood that can soothe his anxiety and restlessness, and her palm carries the warmth of the whole world.
This is his mother.
And the woman who watched her fall off the carriage but was indifferent, and even had a bit of pleasure and relief in her eyes.
However, the fact of iron-clad beating told him over and over again that he couldn't be wrong, and the woman who was scheming and ruthless was indeed his mother.
He didn't know what she had been through, or if she had been acting since the beginning, for as long as he could remember.
At that moment, she looked at him with the sharpest sword in the world, the coldest ice, the most poisonous medicine.
The liquor entered the throat, brought the throat to the lungs and burned all the way, Xu is thoughts drifted too far away, and he didn't notice what was in front of him, so the wine was a little anxious, and the choked Yu Shenyuan fell two tears, slid to the corners of his mouth, and finally ticked and fell into the already empty wine cup.
He looked at the tears that had just fallen from the glass, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise again, and he showed a bitter smile again, and then raised his hand to pour himself a full glass from the wine cup.
Since when did you start to have a slight smile on your face, even if your heart hurts like a knife?
He couldn't remember.
Along the way, he can't remember too much hard work and sourness, the only thing he remembers is that night, after falling from the carriage, all the details have taken root in his mind and are dense and abnormally entrenched.
And these nightmares, even after so many years, once the night strikes, especially when you see a moon like this round of blood moon, the nightmare will attack the city again and again in your mind.
He didn't remember how much pain he had in pain after he had fallen out of the carriage, he didn't remember how many swords he had been slashed by the men in black, he only remembered how terrible the wind was when he was thrown like garbage into the mass grave behind him, how strong the smell of corpses was in his nose, and how terrible the eyes of the wild dogs who were looking for things in the mass graves from time to time were terrible.
However, he couldn't move, he only felt that he was dripping with blood all over his body, and the gurgling blood seemed to be inexhaustible, and it kept coming out of his body, and gradually, the wild dogs who smelled the smell of blood found him dying, and saw that they were already hungry and glowing green in his eyes, and they were about to rush up and bite themselves into their stomachs, but he had no strength at all, let alone any way, so he could only watch them rush upγ
Seeing that he was about to fall on himself, at that moment, his mind flashed a warm picture of a family of four in the past, his father was seriously inspecting the schoolwork of the two brothers, and his mother was sitting gently and demurely on the rattan chair next to him embroidering handkerchiefs......
And now, seeing that the green light was about to fall on him, he closed his eyes in despair.
At this critical moment, Steward Liu, who had been slashed by the black-clothed assassin with a sword before, pounced on him like a god before these wild dogs pounced, and used his tall and straight body to protect him tightly under him.
"Young Master...... Live well, for the master, for the Yu family...... Report...... ...... hatred"
It was the last thing he said in his ear.
And the scene that followed was forever and clearly imprinted in his mind, so many years passed, how many midnight dreams, he would be shocked and awakened by that scene...... How many times he sweated his clothes, how many times he felt like he couldn't breathe in his chest.
In a trance, he felt that it was still in that nightmare, he saw with his own eyes that Steward Liu used his body as a shield to protect his body, and those hungry wild dogs would not give their master and servant a little mercy, in the gap between the shoulder blades that Steward Liu was protecting him, which had been punctured by a hole in the sword, he watched the group of wild dogs pounce on them...... Tear and bite Steward Liu with extremely sharp teeth......
That bloody and cruel scene was a picture that he could not and did not dare to look back on in his life, but this picture was like a spell, always on such a bloody moon night, when he was most unwilling to think about it, the domineering self-care resurfaced in his mind.
And his body was suppressed by Steward Liu, and he couldn't move at all, and he was also very well protected......
Until the end, Steward Liu's body was almost eaten away, and the hungry wild dogs had already filled their stomachs and walked away, leaving him limp and unable to move, holding Steward Liu's only remaining skeleton and looking at Steward Liu's eyes that had not been closed until death, and the corner of his eyes was beyond Steward Liu's mottled head and was looking at the round of blood moon above his head, at that moment, he collapsed.
