Chapter 5: Reminiscences of the Past 1

Mother Wu listened to the conversation between Luo Yanxi and Master Luo in the car, her eyes were slightly red, and Mother Wu wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, remembering what happened before. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Actually, before Luo Yanxi was four years old, he often asked Wu's mother: "When will my father and mother come back, why are they not by my side, why do we live in this broken yard?" Once I went to the front yard to play, it's all beautiful, why can't we stay there? Every time she looked at Luo Yanxi like this, Wu's mother was very sad, but she didn't know what to do, so she could only keep telling her about all kinds of beautiful futures to comfort her young and fragile heart. My heart is full of distress.

Wu's mother will never forget that night six years ago. Wu's mother has a few houses in a small village near Yuncheng, and that is also because Old Man Wu once went to talk to the old man about business, and met a bandit on the way, and the entourage that followed him died, Old Man Wu protected Old Man Luo and rolled down the hillside, saving Old Man Luo's life, but Old Man Wu broke a leg, and in the end, all the goods were lost, fortunately, Old Man Luo divided the silver ticket on his body into several places, and helped Old Man Wu to find a doctor in a nearby village, but because he was not treated in time, he fell ill. The broken leg could no longer exert his strength, and he walked with a limp, and when he came back, Old Man Luo thought that Old Man Wu had injured his leg in the loyal Savior, so he rewarded him for buying land in the village near Yuncheng, building a few houses, and letting Old Man Wu do a job as a steward in the Zhuangzi of that village. Because they had no children, Master Luo also specially allowed Wu's mother to take five days off every month to take care of Old Man Wu for a few days, and that was the first day Wu's mother returned home.

That night, not long after Wu's mother lay down in bed and fell asleep, she vaguely heard a knock on the door of "knock knock, knock knock, knock knock......

"Who will it be on this big night! Old man, go and take a look, it looks like someone is knocking on the door. Mother Wu muttered in a low voice and pushed the old man Wu beside her.

"Who can there be in the middle of the night, the wind blows! Let's sleep! I'll talk about it tomorrow," Old Man Wu muttered, turned over and fell asleep again.

"Old man, don't sleep, you go and see, I feel a little hairy in my heart, and I can't sleep well." Mother Wu listened to the knock on the door outside, a little unsteady.

"What a sound! I see that you have been in Luofu for a long time, and you are suspicious ......" Old man Wu muttered quietly, still put on his clothes and went to light the lamp, and then went to open the door. Wu's mother felt a little uneasy lying on the bed, always feeling that something was going to happen.

"Bang ......" Suddenly, Wu's mother heard a noise outside.

"Old man, what's going on, you speak!" Wu's mother was even more uneasy, put on her clothes, and took the candle on the table to look outside. When I walked out of the room, I saw Old Man Wu sitting on the ground near the door of the living room, trembling all over. Mother Wu walked over to help him, but Old Man Wu couldn't stand up: "What's the matter, old man, is it a leg disease again?" As she spoke, she glanced out of the door, and suddenly she was covered in cold sweat, and saw a person covered in blood outside, lying in front of the door, her wide clothes were dirty and she couldn't see the color, and her hair covered her face, I don't know if it was a man or a woman, but I saw a bloody hand knocking on the door unconsciously. Whoever sees this scene in the middle of the night will be scared half to death. Old man Wu slowed down, stood up tremblingly, and limped over.

"Old man......" Wu's mother saw that Old Man Wu was going over, and pulled his clothes.

"It's fine." Old man Wu shook Wu's mother's hand.

As he spoke, he walked to the door, pulled the hair from the face of the man in front of him, and probed her snort, "The old woman, she is still alive, come and help carry her into the house." ”

After Wu's mother heard this, she came over and helped Old Man Wu carry the person into the bedroom, put it on the soft collapse next to the bed, and said, "Old man, I'll go get some hot water, you go and bring the wound medicine, clean it up for her, and put some medicine." ”

"Okay." Old man Wu replied, and went to get the wound medicine.

Wu's mother called hot water, took a towel to wipe the man's face, wiped off the dust and blood on his face, and leaked out his originally white face like snow, Wu's mother and Old Man Wu glanced at each other: "It looks like a woman, old man, or you go to sleep in the side room, just leave it to me here." ”

"It's okay, you be careful, if something happens, call me loudly." Old man Wu also knew that it would be inconvenient for him to be here if it was really a woman, but after all, the person in front of him was unknown, and Old Man Wu was not very relieved, so he explained and limped out of the room.

After Old Man Wu left, Mother Wu was about to untie the clothes of the woman on the floor, when suddenly, Mother Wu's hand was grabbed. "Ah......" Wu's mother exclaimed.

"No, yes, call, I, won't, hurt you." The woman on the floor spoke in a low voice, as if every word was laborious.

"Old woman, what's wrong?" Old man Wu heard Wu's mother screaming and asked outside.

Mother Wu settled down and returned: "It's okay, I accidentally touched my hand." ”

"Be careful." Old man Wu was relieved to hear that Mother Wu was fine.

Hearing Wu's mother's conversation, the woman on the floor slowly lowered her hand, because the action just now affected the wound on her body, and took a breath of cold air. It was as if he had used up his strength and lay motionless.

"Girl, you have injuries on your body, why don't I clean it up for you and give you some medicine?" Mother Wu saw the woman in front of her and asked cautiously.

"I have a bottle on my left waist, you can help me take it out." The woman's left hand was on the collapse, and her right hand was always in the loose clothes, and her right hand had never been taken out from the time she came in until now, including when she had just grabbed Wu's mother's hand.

Wu's mother helped her take out the small porcelain bottle, it was a good porcelain, Wu's mother had seen a lot of good things in Luofu over the years, this look was something only had in the eunuchs' family, Wu's mother glanced at it and asked, "Is this it?" ”

"Open it, take out the medicine inside, and give it to me." The woman opened her mouth with difficulty.

Mother Wu opened the bottle, and there was a black pill in it, and after Mother Wu took out the pill and gave it to the woman, she brought a chair and stood next to the woman. The woman closed her eyes and rested for about a stick of incense, opened her eyes, and saw the woman sitting next to her napping, her eyes flashed, her left hand touched her arms, and the corners of her mouth raised a smile.

Wu's mother was already sleeping very shallowly, as soon as the woman on the collapsed moved, Wu's mother woke up, and when she saw the woman waking up on the couch, Wu's mother stood up and poured a glass of water: "Girl, are you okay, come and drink some water." ”

"No need, thank you, auntie, call me Cuiping!" Cui Ping said, struggling to sit up. Mother Wu hurriedly came over and helped her up: "Cuiping, I am the servant of the Luo family in Yuncheng, everyone else calls me Mother Wu, you can also call me Mother Wu!" This is your medicine bottle. ”

Mother Wu returned the bottle she had just taken from Cui Ping.

"No need, you can keep it! My injuries are not healed yet, and I will bother you for a while, so I will pay for this. Your house is not small, can you arrange a clean room for me? Cui Ping did not take the medicine bottle in Wu's mother's hand, but said her plans for the next period of time.

"Cuiping, to be honest, Mother Wu, I still have a bit of eyesight, your bottle is a good porcelain, it is worth a lot of money, I am not a greedy person, you have injuries on your body, just keep it here for the time being! Wait until you're healed before leaving, and you might as well take your things back. "Mother Wu didn't covet Cuiping's things, but it surprised Cuiping.

"Mother Wu, you leave the bottle first, don't shirk it, I hope you don't tell anyone about it, and there will be heavy thanks in the future." Cui Ping said, casually in his hand, no one saw that there was a soft light shrouded in this room, and it disappeared in an instant.

Seeing that Cuiping said this, Wu's mother couldn't excuse herself, so she put things away in front of Cuiping.

"Wow Wow Wow Wow Wow ......"

Mother Wu was putting things away when she suddenly heard the cry of a little baby, startled, and turned around suddenly: "Where did the baby's cry come from?" ”

Wu's mother turned around and saw a scene that she would never forget in her life, only to see Cuiping lifting the wide clothes with her left hand, and crying with a little baby in her right hand. The baby's body is as if it is covered by a light mask, emitting a soft light. Cui Ping took out another jade bottle from her arms, Wu Ma was surprised enough to see the porcelain bottle just now, and now she took out another jade bottle...... Cuiping opened the jade bottle, which exuded a faint fragrance, and put it on the baby's mouth, the baby slowly allowed to suck, sucked for nearly a quarter of an hour, and burped before Cuiping put the jade bottle away. The little baby grinned.
