Chapter 7 The soul returns to the earth with the flowing clouds

The baby's cry woke Zheng Guan up, Zheng Guan raised his eyes to see that the younger brother who was on the bed was being picked up, and the baby was held by the eldest lady of Heyun Villa, she was smiling all over her face, surrounded by the other two ladies of Heyun Villa. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

She took a deep breath, she would accept that there was no one in this world to rely on, but she wanted to be her brother's lifelong support.

She reached out and touched her face, the tears had dissipated, she got up and bowed to everyone, and said, "I have seen three ladies." Her voice was neither humble nor high, neither loud nor low, but it was heard by all again.

Zheng Wan looked at everyone, their faces echoed the smile of the eldest lady, as if they didn't see Lan Yu'er who had lost her luster and spirit, the mother who was hiding under the quilt and dedicating her life to her child.

Everyone heard Zheng Guan's voice, so they divided part of their attention to this girl, no, she is already a girl, her face is no longer childish as yesterday, only showing a little, only a trace, a slight melancholy.

The eldest lady was relieved: "Guan'er, your mother has passed away, don't be too sad, your mother gave birth to children and grandchildren for the Yun family, and the Yun family will treat you well." ”

Zheng Wan tugged at the corners of his mouth, revealing a terrifying, mocking sneer, "The eldest lady once asked the owner of Heyun Mountain Villa if the child in the womb of the mother was the son of the Yun family, and now I will ask the eldest lady to ask the owner of the Yun Village how he knows that my younger brother is the son of the Yun family?" ”

The eldest lady's face froze, the second lady's mouth bloomed silently, and the third lady's smile gradually faded. Everyone in the room bowed their heads. For a while, only the baby's cry remained, one after another, and it was very vibrant.

Zheng Wan continued: "My brother is not in good health and needs to take medicine, please Mrs. return my brother." Considering that it was a baby, Dr. Qian ordered Steward Yun's pills to be soaked and taken in two parts, once last night and once this morning.

The eldest lady smiled again, her eyes were full of joy, and said, "You are still young, and adults will take care of the children." After saying that, he took the potion and left with the baby in his arms.

As soon as the eldest lady left, everyone followed. The second lady walked the slowest and left a faint sentence before leaving: "Your younger brother is the son of the Yun family from now on, and he has your benefits, so don't be strong." ”

Zheng Wan listened, gritted his teeth, and didn't say a word.

Mother Liu was still in the room, and said: "Guan'er, don't embarrass the eldest lady, I heard the girl in the eldest lady's room say that the eldest lady will keep the child in his room, then the future will ......."

While she was talking, she saw Zheng Guan walking towards Lan Yu'er in a daze, her heart was sour, and she couldn't stop talking about her original words, but when she thought about the current situation, she might not understand if she didn't tell this child, so she took on the original topic, "Since the eldest lady will accept your brother, naturally she will not let the girl go like this, I can't have a thick burial, and I can also have a coffin to accommodate her." In the end, her eyes were full of tears, and she didn't know if it was for Lan Yu'er or something else.

A coffin for the body? Collected as a house? Do you recognize those who are ruthless as relatives? Zheng Wan thought about Liu's mother's words, and sneered in his heart, could it be that they came to the villa just for a coffin and an identity? She and her mother don't need these, and her mother wants to give a child's father and mother, a home that can be lived in for a lifetime. Therefore, she will never allow her mother's child, her younger brother will be treated as an item that they can carry at will, and when they want it, they will not be put aside, and the younger brother must not be the child of that kind of person, it must not be, Zheng Guan made up her mind in her heart, she will definitely want him back.

"Mother Liu, help me get a cart." Zheng Wan said suddenly, frightened Liu's mother's heart, staying in this room with corpses, she always felt a little uncomfortable, although she had been with Miss Lan for a few months.

When Mother Liu heard this, she said, "What to do?" ”

"Bury my mother!"

Zheng Guan's tone didn't have much emotion, this calmness made Liu's mother a little flustered, and she hurriedly said: "Someone in the villa will arrange this matter for you, you don't understand it as a child, and you don't ...... it."

Zheng Wan interrupted: "You can't enjoy life, what do you want them to help when you die?" I don't care about any customs or customs, and since my mother is gone, I have nothing to be nostalgic about. ”

Mother Liu was stunned, and suddenly felt a little creepy, such words are far from what a child can say, nor can a child think of.

"Mother Liu, I can only ask you for help, they bully my mother so much, they don't even ask if someone is dead, what else can I ask for? Do you want to wait until ......" Speaking of this, Zheng Guan couldn't hold back his tears anymore, pouring down, and only choked up and said, "Do you want me to wait until ...... Mother...... Is it rotten? ”

Mother Liu saw that the child was full of tears, and suddenly felt that this was a child after all, as if she was angry, resisting the injustice of this villa in her own way. Although she was also unwilling in her heart, this was not something she could participate in, she was not easy to answer, so she just turned her face and said: "Xiaozhu didn't come back after going last night, I inquired, no one saw her today, I'm afraid ......"

Zheng Wan thought about it, it seemed that she hadn't seen Xiaozhu, and the doctor was brought over by Chen Shan, so she asked, "I'm afraid of what?" ”

Mother Liu didn't answer, and after a long time, she read in her mouth: "There are too many people who have disappeared in this villa for unknown reasons." ”

Zheng Wan listened silently, he went out for his mother last night, and if something happened, he would really be sorry.

Mother Liu twisted and refused to take the cart, and said later: "Guan'er, today is the first day of the New Year, the rules in the village, you can't bury people, or it's the Spring Festival......"

Before she finished speaking, Zheng Wan glared at her and said coldly, "Then I'll borrow it myself." ”

There was coldness in her tone, containing a sense of anger that seemed to explode, Mother Liu was startled, and thought: Why do you think this girl is a little scary? Mother Liu saw that her eyes were firm, and she wanted to encounter such a thing, this child must have understood things earlier, she sighed slightly in her heart, and felt a little more distressed for this dead mother's child, and also felt a little desolate to Lan Yuer, so she said: "I'll borrow it." ”

Just about to go out, he suddenly turned around and said, "Guan'er, where are you going to bury the girl?" This gate will definitely not be let out. ”

Zheng Wan turned his head to look at Lan Yu'er, and said lightly: "On the way to find Steward Yun last night, I saw a small gate in the west, so let's go out from there, and bury my mother in the back mountain." ”

Mother Liu looked at the expressionless side face, she knew in her heart that this matter could not be handled like this, she wanted to persuade but didn't know how to persuade her, so she said: "I know the door, I remember that when I came to this house when I was a child, it was locked, if you don't go to see it first, if you can't get out, then you will be busy in vain." In her heart, she hoped that Zheng Guan would see that she couldn't get out of the door, so she would give up her idea of burying her mother.

Zheng Guan responded lightly. After Liu's mother went out, she opened her mother to tidy up her mother's clothes, and took a lot of effort to help her mother change into clean clothes, seeing that her mother closed her eyes, her face was pale, her heart was sour, and her tears were about to flow downward, she closed her eyes vigorously, and told herself that she had no time to cry here, and there were still many things to deal with.

She took a deep breath, took the rouge, applied it evenly on her hands, and then rubbed it on Lan Yu'er's face, and at this moment her pale face was only a little colored.

She rummaged through her mother's jewelry box, only a few simple hairpins, first, her mother had always been simple, and secondly, the family was in distress, and there was no more spare money to buy. The jewelry left behind is something that my mother wanted to do in the early years but was reluctant or felt that it was worthless. She picked a cyan hairpin, and her mother said that it was given by her father, although it was not valuable, but she was reluctant to take it out. Then I chose a pair of light green jade earrings for my mother, but I only found one, and then I remembered that I had lost them a few days ago and never found them again. So I had to choose a pair of pearl earrings.

After she took care of everything, Liu's mother came back with a cart "grunting", she thought that Zheng Wan had gone out and hadn't come back yet, and when she remembered that Lan Yu'er's corpse was still in the house, she didn't know how to be her for a while. She was worried in her heart, but when she heard a faint sound in the room, she was startled, and all she thought about was a terrible thing, and she was eager to rush out of the door.

"Mother Liu, you're back." When I turned around, I heard Zheng Guan's voice, and then I settled down, it turned out to be this female doll, and I hurriedly asked, "Have you been to see it?" ”

Zheng Guan replied: "I haven't been there yet." She raised her eyes to look at the weather again and said, "Mother Liu, thank you, it's noon, you go to eat, you're tired all morning." ”

Although Liu's mother is a little uneasy about being here, she has been with the mother and daughter for a few months, and she has feelings, if she leaves like this, she can't bear to leave this female doll alone, and secondly, she came here is the order of the eldest lady, and now that such a thing has happened, the eldest lady has not instructed her, and Xiaozhu is not there, she can't just leave the unnamed building to leave Zheng Guan, and this female doll is easy to behave, and she doesn't know what will happen if she is left alone, and then the responsibility will be all on her own body.

Thinking of this, she was suddenly shocked, the eldest lady didn't know that Zheng Wan was going to bury her mother, she was a little dizzy by Zheng Guan's easy calm this morning, and she didn't report to the eldest lady, and helped her find a cart. Thinking about this, Liu's mother felt a chill on her back, but when she wiped it, she found that the underwear inside was slightly wet. She glanced at Zheng Wan and stopped talking.

Zheng Wan saw that her face was pale, and she also had a rough idea of what she was thinking, Liu Ma and Xiaozhu were originally the people sent by the eldest lady to see her and her mother, but she and her mother sent people under the fence, and there was no way, they knew but they didn't break it, and more importantly, the two of them were not bad. Seeing Liu's mother's worried look now, she must be afraid that the eldest lady will not spare her if she helps herself, and she will not be happy if she doesn't help herself, because after all, her mother usually treats them very well, and she has no momentum of the master at all. Zheng Wan turned around and entered the house, and said, "Mother Liu, you go to eat first, and then go to report to the eldest lady that Xiaozhu is missing, and ask if there is something else she sent to do something?" ”

Mother Liu was shocked in her heart, and shouted stupidly, "Guan'er......" She knew that Zheng Guan said this to push her back to the eldest lady's side, but if she did that, Zheng Guan's wish to bury her mother would be unlikely. The eldest lady was very majestic, and she could not see others disobey her.

Zheng Guan fixed his voice and said again: "Remember, go to dinner first." ”

Mother Liu sighed, and thought in her heart, it only takes a moment for the next person to eat a meal, how much time can be delayed for you, and if you are a small child, dragging an adult, how far can you go, I am afraid that if you don't reach the small door, you will be stopped by the eldest lady's people. Mother Liu looked at the little back hidden in the room, it was so weak, so helpless, she suddenly had a courage in her heart, let her raise her foot, and rushed into the room.

Zheng Wan looked at Mama Liu's movements, her eyes were a little blurry, she didn't look away, she knew what Mama Liu meant by doing this, she was helping her, but she was betraying the eldest lady.

Her voice was a little hoarse, and she said softly, "Grandma Liu, in fact, you don't have to do this." ”

Liu's mother's eyes were also a little red, and she only wrapped Zheng Wan's quilt around Lan Yu'er, and then picked up Lan Yu'er, picked up a little bit the first time, put it down again, and then found a good posture and hugged it horizontally. Zheng Wan looked at it, her back was a little rickety, although her age was not very old, but the perennial groveling knees had already bent her back early, and her voice came from the back, "The eldest lady wants to investigate, and naturally she will know that I borrowed the cart for you." When she spoke, there were tears in her eyes, but she couldn't help it.

Although Zheng Wan said it, she didn't stop it, she understood that now she really couldn't move Lan Yu'er by herself. At the end of the day, she's just holding on.

After Mother Liu put Lan Yu'er on the cart, she sat down on the side, gasping for breath, and said, "We have to hurry, a little more delay will be more trouble." ”

Zheng Wan didn't say anything more, so he went directly to pull the cart. Mother Liu copied a shovel and pushed it behind. Zheng Guan didn't walk fast in front, so Liu's mother stepped forward to pull it. Zheng Wan silently retreated to the back to push the cart. ran into a few maids on the road, and Liu's mother said that she had found a random excuse to deal with it.

The two kept walking all the way, but fortunately, the small door was not very far from Zheng Guan's residence. When he got to the side of the small door, the door was really locked, Zheng Wan saw that the lock looked like it was some years old, and it was rusty, so he picked up a good stone from the ground, and knocked it up, and after a few clicks, the lock came down.

The door opened, and there was a green mountain outside, and there was unmelted snow in the high places, and in front of him was a small path, although there were weeds, but it could still be seen that there was a path before. Zheng Guan didn't care about anything else, so he pushed the cart out.

"Guan'er, where are you going to bury your mother?" Liu's mother asked.

Zheng Wan didn't know, he just wanted to walk forward, and suddenly saw a small house in front of him, dilapidated, mostly rotten, thinking about it for a long time, and I don't know who lived there. The hut was surrounded by a small clearing, overgrown with weeds, and the clearing was connected on three sides by higher mountains, and on one side by cliffs. The section faces the west, it is the place where the sun sets, there is a big tree on the side, the crown is very large, and the trunk is also thick for two people, it seems that there are some years, Zheng Guan pointed there and said: "It's there, my mother likes to watch the sunset." ”

Zheng Wan began to weed and dig the soil, which was very physically demanding, and her little girl couldn't do it long before she panted, and Liu's mother took over. Zheng Guan hurried to rest and did not fight. When she felt that she had strength again, she had to take the shovel and continue digging, but Liu's mother told her to rest again, but she didn't follow. Mother Liu couldn't resist it, so she gave her the shovel, and the two took turns digging. I don't know how many times later, the pit in the ground has begun to take shape, and it is about a foot deep.

Zheng Guan's face suddenly changed, and he said, "Someone is coming." ”

Mother Liu stopped what she was doing, listened attentively, and it was vaguely the voice of Miss Zhuo'er beside the eldest lady, and said, "It's here, there are traces of wheels." ”

Zheng Wan looked at the pit, then at Lan Yu'er, and sighed, "Just bury it like this." ”

Mother Liu knew that if someone came, it would not be buried, so she didn't think about anything else, and she didn't know where she had a lot of energy, so she hugged Lan Yu'er into the pit and began to fill it back.

Zheng Wan put aside the quilt covering Lan Yu'er's face, wanting to see her mother's face one last time, and suddenly remembered the hard days before, it was so sweet, she blocked her eyes with her hand, and covered Lan Yu'er's face with the other hand, and after a while, she began to sprinkle soil on Lan Yu'er's body, this person called mother was going to disappear from her life from now on, and suddenly she felt empty, and tears flowed down, falling to the ground silently, as if they had never fallen.

She knew that when she buried it, she buried the support of her soul in this life.

Zhuo'er is the eldest girl in the eldest lady's room, and the eldest lady has a maid's mane in return, saying that Liu's mother pulled the car and took Zheng Guan out of the west gate, and instructed Zhuo'er to bring someone to stop five or six villains back. Zhuo'er went out of the West Gate, and easily found Zheng Wan and Liu's mother along the wheel print.

When I saw the two of them, Mother Liu was sitting on the ground, and Zheng Wan was kneeling in front of the slightly bulging small earthen bag.

Liu's mother asked, "Guan'er, I don't understand, why are you in such a hurry to put your mother into the ground?" ”

Zheng Wan turned around and felt that his body was very weak, as if all his strength was buried in that cup of soil. She simply lay on the ground, and her body didn't feel cold at all after the violent movements just now: "My mother and I didn't want to leave here for a moment, and it was a relief for her to be gone." If I had been a mother, I would have liked to have left there as soon as possible. ”

Mother Liu glanced at the group of people who were approaching, sighed softly, and said, "I'll meet the eldest lady later, don't talk too much, there are still ......" Mother Liu paused, turned her head and looked at the earthen bag where Lan Yu'er was buried, "The eldest lady won't be too embarrassed for you in front of your brother, maybe she will let you out of the villa." ”

Zheng Guan listened attentively, and the meaning of Liu's mother's words was to take the responsibility, which made her a little surprised and moved. But she didn't understand enough of Liu's mother's remarks that the doctor would let her out of the villa, she just thought that the eldest lady would not be so kind to let her and her younger brother grow in the same place, and Heyun Villa would definitely not raise her for nothing, so the best way was to send out the villa.

In fact, what Liu's mother thought, the eldest lady would let Zheng Guan out of the villa because she only had one daughter under her knees, and the second lady was quite arrogant with her son, and the eldest lady had already accumulated fire in her heart, and now raising her husband's son by her side was to find the most powerful ally for herself. But in the matter of Lan Yu'er, Heyun Villa is indeed a little sorry for Lan Yu'er, and a girl like Zheng Wan already remembers that something may happen in the future, so for the sake of her allies to always be able to face her, the eldest lady will definitely not be able to keep Zheng Guan, who has the same blood as him, by her side.

Zheng Guan opened his dark eyes, saw the white clouds drifting, and felt that it had an indescribable elegant freedom, and thinking of what happened to him and his mother when he came to this villa, he couldn't help but feel a burst of anger in his heart, and said hatefully: "I will not let the eldest lady succeed." ”

Mother Liu was puzzled, Zhuo'er and the others had already stepped forward, and shouted: "Liu Hong, as a person from Heyun Villa, you dare to violate the rules of the villa, you are guilty." "Mother Liu is an elderly subordinate, and generally people will call Mama Liu, at this moment Zhuo'er called Mama Liu's real name, I'm afraid that the eldest lady is really angry.

Mother Liu hurriedly knelt on the ground, her body trembling slightly, unable to speak. She helped Zheng Guan, although she didn't regret it in her heart, but the servility of her generation still made her feel scared involuntarily. The so-called ignorant person is fearless, she is the old man of this villa, she entered the villa at the age of eight, and for decades, she naturally saw more ways for the master to punish his subordinates, and when she thought of these, she was shocked.

"You have been in this villa for more than 30 years, don't you know that the first day of the first month of Heyun Villa is a day to worship the ancestors, and there must be no other activities, let alone burying people, you are disrespectful to the ancestors......"

"Then let's go and plead guilty." Zheng Wan stood up and said, she turned to look at Mama Liu, she felt a little guilty in her heart, she knew from the beginning that today was the day of worshipping the ancestors in Heyun Villa, she didn't expect Mama Liu to help her, it was a betrayal of the eldest lady, and even more a betrayal of the villa, but she couldn't refuse, she could only write down this love first.

Zhuo'er was slightly stunned, looking at the little girl and saying that sentence lightly, that indifferent look made her inexplicably want to be annoyed, she looked at the dirt bag behind her, this girl had just sent her mother away, but she could be so calm, she definitely couldn't live with ordinary people. Then she saw the red circles under her eyes, and said in her heart: He is a scheming child who knows how to hide his emotions.

In fact, Zheng Wan didn't hide her emotions, but when she saw these cold people, she naturally became stronger, she had a sense of arrogance in her bones, and she didn't want to expose her vulnerability in front of these people, and seeing these people, she knew better that she didn't have time to be sad and sad, and she had to find a way to get her brother back.

Zhuo'er came back to her senses and said, "Take Liu Hong back." ”

The person who followed Zhuo'er put Liu's mother up and went back and forth.

Zheng Wan glanced back, and suddenly his mother's smile flashed in his mind, and he was a little stunned.

Na Zhuo'er didn't urge, just stood quietly.

After a long time, Zheng Wan came back to his senses and walked forward, this step was heavy but firm, and the road would be winding and rugged.
