56 Feeling the past is gone

Xiao Yu, this guy climbed the hill with great effort, just to find a "tree of the year"?!

Tang Ai's whole body was stunned.Pbtxt." She didn't understand any of the four words "tree back then", but when they got together, they only didn't know what to say. What does "back then" mean? What does "tree" mean? Didn't you say that Xiao Yu had been here before?

"Come on, come on, come here." Xiao Yu waved at her under the tree, smiling in a bad way, as if he had encountered the best happiness in the world.

"......" Tang Ai looked inexplicable.

In her opinion, this guy is only afraid that he has eaten too much sugar and his brain is confused.

There are many trees growing on the hillside, and the species has not changed much, and this old tree with a crooked neck is nothing special except for a crooked neck. At this time, it was winter again, and the branches and leaves of the old trees were withering, and the bare branches looked lonely. But fortunately, there is a smiling person under the tree, and with this person, the coldness of winter seems to be a little less for no reason.

Xiao Yu is the one standing under the tree.

He lazily leaned on the trunk of the tree, knocked on the ground under his feet with his cane, and looked at Tang Ai: "Do you know, there is a treasure under this tree." ”

"Baby?" Tang Ai's face was full of suspicion.

"You come and dig up the baby." Xiao Yu smiled even brighter.

“…… Lao Tzu believes in your evil! As soon as Tang Ai snatched Xiao Yu's crutches, he used the crutches as a hoe, and dug a dirt pit on the ground.

Don't say it, whether the baby is a baby or not, Tang Ai dug a foot of the ground, and the corners of something were really exposed under the ground.

This thing seemed to be a piece of cloth, Tang Ai thought that there was something covered by the cloth, so he pulled the cloth out with a hard pull.

The boxy red cloth has been looking for a long time.

Tang Ai wanted to take a look into the pit again, but Xiao Yu had already pulled the red cloth from her hand and gently shook the dust on the cloth.

"Baby, baby, you're still here." He rubbed his cheek against the red cloth, and he was overjoyed, as if he had been reunited with a rare treasure that had been lost for a long time.

Wait a minute...... Red cloth?

Tang Ai suddenly thought of the dream he had had. In that bizarre dream, she was playing with a little child on the outskirts of Yuzhou City. The kid asks her to find a red hijab, which is not very similar to the big red cloth.

How could there be such a coincidence, this is also ...... It's so hard to explain, isn't it?

Tang Ai actually broke out in a sweat.

Xiao Yu followed the red cloth dug out of the ground for a long time, and then shook the cloth head in front of Tang Ai: "I said, you really can't think of anything?" ”

He suddenly became very serious, and the light in his eyes was clear and clear.

"Come to think of it...... What the? Don Eisensen felt that something was wrong.

"Hey, if you want me to tell you something. If you don't remember this tree, you don't remember this cloth, and you definitely won't remember the day we first met more than ten years ago. But I still remember the scene of that day clearly. Xiao Yu's eyes stared at Tang Ai for a moment, "I remember that you wore a little red jacket back then, and you took off a walking lantern. You are so domineering that no one dares to play with you. It is only when you bump into a compassionate person like me that you have the opportunity to feel the pleasure of worshipping heaven and earth. You-"

"You, give, me, stop!" Tang Ai roared, only to startle the birds in the trees to flee in all directions.

Her heart was beating fast - Xiao Yu's description matched the situation in her dream!

If these are still just coincidences, Tang Ai doesn't believe it if he is killed.

Xiao Yu's eyes seemed to have a small knife hidden, and he flew out coldly, making a small cut on Tang Ai's brain shell. A lot of things floated out along this small opening, and they came to Tang Ai's eyes in a trance, making her unable to distinguish between illusion and reality.

Tang Ai is like an old monk in the meditation.

She knew that these things were the memories she had been awakened to.

Xiao Yu stopped squeaking obediently just now, and now he looked at Tang Ai's stupid appearance, but said with a smile: "Now, did you think of something?" At that time, we were both older children, and this tree was not crooked to this point today, and we worshipped under this tree. When you got home, I buried this red hijab under the tree. I was thinking, one day I'll come back and dig up this red hijab in front of you. I said, this is God's God-given fate for the two of us, maybe it was destined in the previous life, or in the previous life! ”

Tang Ai listened to Xiao Yu's words without saying a word, and immediately reacted as follows:

One, two steps back;

Two, take a deep breath;

Three, rub the ground and run away.

She didn't go anywhere else, but ran three big laps around the hill. After this, she finally returned to Xiao Yu out of breath.

The knife in Xiao Yu's eyes turned into a small needle again, and the small needle picked a thread from the big red cloth, and gently sewed the small hole on the top of Tang Ai's head one by one.

"Bad guys, bastards, dead scoundrels, stinky scoundrels!" Tang Ai waved his fist and smashed it into Xiao Yu's chest, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?!" Isn't it fun to just keep playing with me?! ”

"Yo yo, it hurts, it hurts!" Xiao Yu was about to be unsteady, and he would hold on to the old trunk so that he didn't fall, and his face was very pale.

But he straightened up, and then the corners of his lips were curled again, and the smile was as bad as a fox: "To be honest, it is indeed very interesting." I'm not teasing you for a day, and I'm uncomfortable. ”

This guy is playing a hooligan in the bright light, and perfectly interprets the self-cultivation of a "bad guy, bastard, and dead scoundrel".

He paused, and then said: "Do you know, I didn't tell you before, first, I was afraid that you would think I had become a cripple, and second, I also wanted to see, even if we didn't have this incident when we were children, can I still win the heart of your Miss Tang." ”

"You've won! I'm convinced! Tang Ai punched again.

However, in the end, she just slowly lowered her arms, her fingers rubbing on Xiao Yu's empty sleeves, and when she didn't hold back, her nose was sore: "Your hands and legs...... Childhood...... You were all there when you were a kid! ”

"This thing...... It's a long story. ”

"Say!"

Xiao Yu sighed faintly and pulled Tang Ai to sit under the tree.

As he said, this is a story that needs to be told for a long time, because this story involves too many people and too many things, and it is absolutely impossible to say one or two sentences.

This story has to be told more than 20 years ago.

Xiao Yu's father is Xiao Qing, the son of heaven in the Great Heaven/Dynasty. More than 20 years ago, Xiao Qing was not a son of heaven, but a prince who was not outstanding in all aspects.

In the bloody battle for the storage position back then, it was not easy for Xiao Qing to sit on the throne in the Jinluan Palace and become the person who had the last laugh. And in this competition, there are two people who have contributed a lot to Xiao Qing.

One of these two people is his main wife, who is the current queen, and the other is Xu Zhan's father, General Xu.

The queen's family has been a famous family in the Central Plains since the time of Tai/Zu, and General Xu Lao is a heavy soldier, Xiao Qing has the support of the queen's family power and General Xu Lao, so that he can inherit the unification at the last critical moment.

But even so, at the beginning of Xiao Qing's accession to the throne, there were still a few siblings who still did not give up, and it didn't take long to launch a palace change. Xiao Qing was forced to the palace before his foundation was stable, and he was protected by his cronies and fled overnight, but the queen and several children were forced to stay in the palace.

The queen was hostage in the palace and defended the last line for Xiao Qing, but Xiao Qing was rescued by a woman outside the palace when she was most helpless.

This woman's name is Murong Qi. She is Xiao Yu's mother, the later concubine, and the person in the painting who was recorded by Xiao Yu with pen and ink. Although Xiao Qing and Murong Qi spent a good time outside the palace, they never forgot to regain power, and secretly contacted General Xu who returned to the border pass.

General Xu Lao transferred troops back to Beijing, and the army came to the city, and finally helped Xiao Qing turn the tide, and the rebels were all annihilated, and Xiao Qing even beheaded the rebel siblings to His Royal Highness.

The story about Xiao Qing is coming to an end here, but the story about Xiao Yu has just begun here.

"A few months after the emperor returned to the palace, he sent someone to approach my mother to the palace. My mother was canonized as a concubine, and soon after that, she had me. Xiao Yu looked at the clouds in the sky and smiled indifferently, "I grew up in the palace until I was three years old, and my mother felt that she couldn't live in the palace anymore, so she escaped from the palace with me." By the way, we are walking through the secret passage under the Zhaoyang Palace. ”

Tang Ai asked puzzledly, "You ...... Why can't you stay in the palace any longer? ”

"It's simple, if I stay any longer, I'll be killed soon."

"Killed?!" Tang Ai was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.

"My mother is favored, and I naturally have a little bit of light, and I am loved by the emperor. My mother was cautious in her words and deeds in the palace, avoiding other concubines everywhere, but we still became a thorn in the side of some people. These people first sent someone to push me into the water while I was playing, but fortunately my mother found out in time, and I did not drown in the pond of the Imperial Garden. Later, they sent someone to secretly poison my diet. This poison is not produced by my heaven/dynasty, it is very powerful, but it is very slow, and it will lie in the body of the poisoned person for a long time. It had been several months since my mother noticed something was wrong with me. Wait any longer, and sooner or later I'll die of poison. ”

"And after that? What happened to you after you escaped from the palace? Tang Ai's heart was so uncomfortable.

"After that, when those men saw us fleeing, they sent men to chase us all the way. They chased all the way, and we ran all the way. Flee here, won't I meet you? Xiao Yu suddenly turned his head to stare at Tang Ai, his eyes were quiet and distant, "There is one more thing you don't know, in fact, you are my savior." ”

"I ...... I saved your life?! ”

"Yes, you saved my life. On the day I bumped into you, my mother and I were chased by those people again, and I got separated from her in the chaos. If I hadn't played a game of heaven and earth worship with you, and changed your girl's clothes, I would have been recognized and caught by the people who chased me. So, I always owe you a debt, and then I paid it back little by little, but I always felt that I still couldn't pay it off. It seems that if I want to repay your great kindness, the only way to repay you is to make a promise. ”

"You-you big man say such things, you are not ashamed!"

"I'm not ashamed, not at all." Xiao Yu gently patted Tang Ai's brain.

Tang Ai: "You—you haven't said your hands and legs—"

Xiao Yu: "Okay, that's to the point. There's no way to get back what you've lost, and I accepted that many years ago, and you don't need to be so excited. I am not protected because I became poisoned shortly after I parted with you. I came to Shuzhong with my mother to find a master to detoxify me. Although we found him later, it was a pity that in the end the timing was delayed, and the first thing that the poison began to erode was my right hand and right leg. ”

When Tang Ai heard this, his eyes were already frighteningly red. Xiao Yu brushed the corner of her eye slightly, and then brushed a light teardrop. The tear shone on his fingertips, and was soon dried by the cold wind.

Xiao Yu lowered his eyes and smiled: "I can't forget every day and hour of that year." Someone chased and killed me and my mother, but the emperor Lao'er also secretly sent people. My mother didn't expect that the emperor Lao'er would come out of the palace to look for us in person, and she couldn't see me being tortured by illness, so she agreed to the emperor Lao'er to return to Beijing with him. The master traveled with us, trying to find a way to suppress the toxicity for me along the way. But not long after returning to the palace, the poison still broke out unexpectedly, and in order to save my life, he had to cut off my hands and feet. Later, this master became my master, teaching me to do two-handed things with one hand, and walk on two legs on one leg. ”

He spoke a lot, seemed very tired, and his head hung lower and lower.

Tang Ai listened to Xiao Yu's words wholeheartedly, and while feeling distressed, she paid attention to the "Emperor Lao'er" that popped out of his mouth from time to time - in her impression, Xiao Yu had never called the saint even a "father".

Xiao Yu just lowered her eyebrows and didn't look at her, as if she could guess what she was thinking: "Are you thinking, why do I always speak disrespectfully to His Majesty of our Great Heaven/Dynasty?" He was my father, and I was always disrespectful to him. ”

“…… Well. Tang Ai couldn't think of anything he could answer.

"I obeyed his orders and just obeyed my mother's wishes. I have never had a reverence for him. Xiao Yu was still talking and laughing a moment ago, but the next moment, his eyes have become more and more cold and lonely.

It was getting dark, and when the light came to him, it seemed as if he couldn't move any further.

After a while, he sneered and said, "Murderer." ”

"What did you say?" Tang Ai's shoulders trembled, thinking that he had heard something.

Xiao Yu: "I said, Xiao Qing is a murderer." ”
