Chapter 142: The Old Woman
In the deserted hills, there are some small trees that are not particularly large, and they should have grown for more than ten years.
On the hillside on the left, the green grass grows happily, swaying lightly in the wind, and it is also dotted with some wild flowers of different colors, but I didn't see butterflies, bees and other insects, and Ye Xiaoshi didn't care.
She stood in front of the dilapidated courtyard, looking at the plaque that had already lost some of its paint.
"Bang bang bang!"
The door opened, and a seven or eight-year-old boy, wearing cute pigtails, blinking a pair of big eyes, looked at Ye Xiaoshi curiously.
Ye Xiaoshi stepped forward with a smile: "Hello, little ......"
Before she finished speaking, the boy seemed to be frightened, and fear appeared in his eyes: "You bad person, bullying my sister Zhenzhen, didn't want you to come in." ”
"Bang!"
The boy slammed the door shut.
Ye Xiaoshi stroked her forehead, where is this?
"Am I bullying Luo Zhenzhen? Where did this start, didn't this little baby recognize the wrong person? ”
She didn't continue to knock on the door, she directly took out the spirit crane that Luo Zhenzhen sent to her, and after saying a few words, she released the spirit crane, and the spirit crane had the imprint left by Luo Zhenzhen on it, and she would take the initiative to fly to her.
It was noon, and the sun was still very hot, and the heat was a little stuffy.
Ye Xiaoshi sat on the steps, looked around, the more she looked, the more she felt that this place was very deserted, and it was about two days to walk from the nearest city by flying machine, and if you took a carriage, there was not even a mountain road, so you couldn't enter at all.
After waiting for a while, the door opened.
It wasn't Luo Zhenzhen who came out. It was a beautiful woman who still looked charming, and her eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Luo Zhenzhen, and she stared at Ye Xiaoshi for a long time. I was stunned, and I didn't speak for a long time.
Ye Xiaoshi couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and said, "Hello, my name is Ye Xiaoshi, I am Luo Zhenzhen's friend, and I made an appointment with Zhenzhen before." ”
She shouted twice, and the beautiful woman seemed to react: "Like." It's just too similar. The beautiful woman looked very happy, and stepped forward to take her arm: "Let's go, my family Zhenzhen has been talking about you these days." ”
"Your name is Ye Xiaoshi, right?"
"Where is your home?"
"What's your father's name? What is it for? ”
The beautiful woman asked all the way along.
Ye Xiaoshi answered one by one, only to feel a little strange, isn't this beautiful woman also thinking that she is a child of the Luo family? -
Don't look very depressed from the outside, through an arch. And through a conveyor table. I came to a valley, this valley is quite quiet, the scenery is beautiful, along the way, I also saw a waterfall, the water is flowing.
I didn't expect that this courtyard would have a cave.
Ye Xiaoshi was secretly surprised.
I followed the beautiful woman all the way to the depths of the valley, next to a secluded place. There is an octagonal hanging tower, made of mahogany. The craftsmanship is very exquisite, and on the top of the hanging tower, some vines are planted and drooped down.
"Mother, I brought the girl Zhenzhen said here."
The beautiful woman stood outside the door and said respectfully.
Ye Xiaoshi was a little nervous, she thought about what to say for a while, so that she was most likely to get the pill of the Nine Turns Soul Restoration Pill.
"It's okay, grandma is very kind." The beautiful woman seemed to be so comforted when she saw Ye Xiaoshi nervous.
"Squeak!"
The door opened softly, as if a breeze blew open, and the light inside was not particularly good, and it was a little dark.
The beautiful woman stood at the door and beckoned to Ye Xiaoshi: "Come, come in, don't be afraid, it's like arriving at your own home." ”
Ye Xiaoshi smiled: "Okay." ”
Enter the house.
The furnishings are not particularly much, there is an elegant taste everywhere, and on the wall closest to Ye Xiaoshi, there is a guqin, and there is a sword next to the guqin, and the sword body is simple.
There was a faint smell of sandalwood wafting through the room, and the incense burner on the table was burning with green smoke.
On the wooden chair in the center of the room, facing away from them sat a man with silver hair, neatly dressed, with a white ribbon tied at the tail, and his face could not be seen clearly, but judging from his body, the man was very thin.
"Mother." The beautiful woman saluted respectfully.
The woman sitting on the wooden chair waved her hand: "You go down and look at Zhenzhen first, so that she can practice in the spirit pagoda." ”
"Yes, Mother." The beautiful woman glanced sideways at Ye Xiaoshi, gave her an encouraging look, and then quietly went out and closed the door.
Ye Xiaoshi stood alone in this small room, getting more and more nervous, and her heartbeat was getting faster and faster.
She looked at the woman sitting on the wooden chair, but she did not dare to speak easily.
"If you don't change in response to change, I won't believe that you don't speak." Ye Xiaoshi calmed down, her purpose for coming to the Luo family this time was very clear, that is, to get the pill of the Nine Turns Soul Restoration Pill, and nothing else mattered.
I don't know exactly how long it has been.
The old woman finally spoke: "You, your name is Ye Xiaoshi, right?" ”
"Yes, senior." Ye Xiaoshi responded obediently.
"Senpai?" The old woman repeated these two words, then was silent for a while, and said again: "Is your father the general of the Jedi Northern Desert Loulan Kingdom?" ”
Ye Xiaoshi nodded: "Yes, his name is Ye Hu." ”
"What about your mother?"
Ye Xiaoshi's heart trembled, she remembered what the letter said, thought about it for a while, and then replied: "When I was young, my father told me that my mother was dead. However, this time Xiaoshi was lucky to enter the Demon Domain and saw the owner of the Demon Domain, he told me that my mother was not dead, but he did not tell me my mother's whereabouts. ”
"Click!"
Ye Xiaoshi heard a crisp cracking sound, as if it was some kind of jade.
Then, I saw the old woman who was originally facing away from her, turned around, and in an instant, came to her and grabbed her arm: "You mean, the master of the Demon Domain said that your mother is not dead?" Are you sure? You're not lying? ”
The old woman was very excited.
Ye Xiaoshi was taken aback, her mother was not dead, what did it have to do with the old woman.
The old woman's appearance was even more unexpected, there was no flesh, only the skin was wrapped around the bones, like a skull, and the left cheek left a long knife mark, not like a person, but more like a ghost.
"That's what the master of the Demon Domain said, but he told me that I had to meet his requirements for building a foundation within three years before he would tell me my mother's whereabouts." Ye Xiaoshi explained truthfully, in front of these old and sophisticated people, it is better not to be clever and be honest with each other.
The old woman shed tears and muttered to herself, "It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive." ”
Ye Xiaoshi looked at the old woman's appearance, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.
She suddenly remembered what Luo Zhenzhen had said to her when she was in the Star Ring Array, could it be that this old woman also felt that she was from the Luo family, or was she from their lineage?
This old woman is so excited, she must think that the woman who is her mother has a deep relationship with her, by the way, it should be the daughter of the old woman in front of her, no wonder Luo Zhenzhen's mother would say: 'Grandma is very kind'.
Feelings: Now their family thinks that they are the children of the Luo family in their lineage.
It's hard to believe, but now even she has some doubts.
"Come, Xiaoshi, you come with me. Grandma takes you to see something. The old woman took Ye Xiaoshi's hand, which was very kind.
