Chapter 31
Foggy mornings are also the most suitable time for self-cultivation and calming. Sitting on the stone bench in the back mountain, Liu Jingmo slowly closed her eyes and meditated quietly, but her mood was not very peaceful.
Yaoxian Gu has existed in this world for many years, and if you want to trace the roots, I am afraid that I will not be able to finish talking about it in a few nights, but it is Liu Jingmo's father, Liu Yuan, who can carry forward the name of Yaoxian Valley. Outsiders only know one of this, but they don't know the other, that is, compared to Liu Yuan, Liu Jingmo's attainments in medical skills are much higher, and only Liu Yuan and Liu Jingmo themselves know about this.
Since she was sensible, Liu Jingmo has preferred those medical treatises that seem boring to her peers, most of which are medical skills handed down from the Liu family, which not only record a variety of precious medicinal materials, but also some pathologies and diseases. Liu Jingmo is old, although she has a immature face, she is more rational than many seasoned adults.
She never thought that she would like anything other than medicine, and she had always firmly believed in this idea until she heard Liu Ziling call her mother. Liu Yuan was very old, and Liu Jingmo, who was only twelve years old, took charge of most of the affairs of the Medicine Immortal Valley. In order to make her father feel at ease, even if she had no interest in and yearning for the relationship between men and women, Liu Jingmo still followed Liu Yuan's wishes and found a man to marry.
The man was just a poor child under the mountain, his parents were seriously ill, and he himself was also a sick man in poor health, except for his skin and cowardly character, there was nothing that Liu Jingmo liked. And the reason why she chose such a person is nothing more than because the other party is easy to manipulate. As the next head of the family in Yaoxian Valley, even if she gets married, she wants the man to join her, not to commit herself to marriage.
After getting married, Liu Jingmo had Liu Ziling the following year. The first time she experienced what it was like to be a mother, she was surprised to find that her state of mind had not changed much from usual. She still studied pharmacology on her own, got up early every day to practice, and after ten months of pregnancy, she gave birth to Liu Ziling. And Liu Yuan was also satisfied after seeing his granddaughter, and drove the crane west, and gave the position of the valley master to Liu Jingmo.
After succeeding Yaoxian Valley, the first thing Liu Jingmo did was to send Liu Ziling and her biological father out of Yaoxian Valley, giving the two of them enough money to spend the rest of their lives. Since then, for three whole years, Liu Jingmo ignored their father and daughter, until the man died, and she didn't have any waves after hearing it, but just ordered her subordinates to take care of Liu Ziling, and then it was another two years of confusion. During this time, Liu Jingmo was so busy consolidating her power that she even forgot that she still had such a daughter.
One day, she went to the back mountain to practice, but was disturbed, which made her very unhappy. When I looked up, I saw a female doll in a cotton jacket standing in the distance looking at herself, without the slightest intention of apologizing. Being stared at by the other party's direct eyes, Liu Jingmo felt extremely uncomfortable in her heart. In this valley, no one has ever dared to look at her so rudely, even if it is an ignorant child, he has to obey the rules.
"Who didn't take care of their own children and let her run to this back mountain at will." Liu Jingmo's voice was not loud, but her eyes were as cold as ice. was looked up and down indifferently by her, and the little willow Ling cried out. She was so afraid of the person in front of her, she just heard the nurse say that she could find her mother when she came here, so she ran over without telling the people in the valley.
According to what the nurse said, her mother is beautiful and young, she doesn't like to talk, she is as beautiful as a fairy. No matter what aspect, the woman in front of her is in line with the characteristics of her mother. However, why doesn't she know herself and is so fierce to herself. In order to see her, she stayed here every day, and it had been many days.
"What are you crying about, go back to where you need to go." Seeing that the little doll in front of him began to cry before answering his question, his aggrieved and sad appearance made him feel a little uncomfortable. Catching a glimpse of her somewhat messy black hair, as well as her brown eyes and eyebrows, Liu Jingmo always felt that this portrait was somewhat similar to herself, but she didn't know where this child came from. For five years, she had almost forgotten about her own daughter's survival.
"Why are you so cruel to me, don't you want Ziling?" Seeing that Liu Jingmo turned around and was about to leave, Liu Ziling didn't know where she got the courage from, so she ran a few steps in a panic and hugged Liu Jingmo's legs. The little doll didn't have much strength, but the hoarse call made Liu Jingmo unable to move her steps.
She looked back at the little man lying on the ground, his white face wet with tears, and hung pitifully on his face. A pair of eyes were red from crying, and his brown eyes were full of anticipation and longing. Such a delicate and beautiful little doll evoked Liu Jingmo's memory, and when she heard the name Ziling, she suddenly remembered that she had a daughter, and when she was born, she named her, Liu Ziling.
"I didn't want you, go find your nurse, I'm busy." Even though he knew that the poor little doll in front of him was his own daughter, Liu Jingmo's reaction still did not change. What if it's your own daughter? It's really ugly to cry like this. This clumsy appearance has the appearance of being talented and intelligent when he was a child, and it is not much different from an ordinary child with no qualifications.
In her heart, Liu Jingmo pushed away Liu Ziling's hand that was holding her, however, she reached over, but she was tightly embraced by the villain. It is winter now, although she has internal strength to protect her body, Liu Jingmo does not feel cold, but her hands are a little cold by the wind. Seeing that Liu Ziling actually stuffed her hand into her small padded jacket and touched it directly on the round little belly, the excessively warm touch made Liu Jingmo couldn't help but scratch it, and saw Liu Ziling blushing and looking up at herself.
"Mother, is it okay to take Ziling with you? I'm not going to make you noisy, and I'm not going to make you angry. Please, mother, don't leave me behind. My father is gone, and I only have my mother. In any case, Liu Ziling was unwilling to let go of Liu Jingmo at this time. Since she was a child, she has only had her father by her side, but she has never had a mother who keeps screaming from other children.
Every time I see other people's children, my father and mother lead them out together, and I am the only one who can only lie by the window and watch them laugh, taking care of my father who has been sick and bedridden for a long time. Until the day her father died, Liu Ziling didn't see her mother appear.
She always thought that she was not good enough, so her mother didn't want her, she studied hard and read those pharmacology books that she didn't like to read at all. Even so, although she was in the Medicine Immortal Valley, she never saw Liu Jingmo. Today she finally met this mother who made her heart long, no matter what, she didn't want to let go.
"Okay, I'm not leaving, you just let me go."
"Really? Won't my mother really leave me? Hearing Liu Jingmo say this, Liu Ziling was suspicious and relaxed. Seeing her let go, Liu Jingmo wanted to leave. Who knows, she just had this idea, and she didn't even have her true qi running, so she was hugged by Liu Ziling again.
"My mother lied to people, and my mother obviously wanted to leave me." Liu Jingmo didn't expect Liu Ziling to be able to see through her intentions, and she suddenly became a little irritable. She stood there, watching the little man begging her over and over again, telling her not to go. From the initial indifference, the heart gradually became soft. Later, she was a little reluctant to cry anymore for this little doll.
"Okay, don't cry, I'll take you away."
"Mother, don't lie to me again."
"I'll keep you by my side in the future."
This stay is nearly ten years. Gathering the true qi that was evacuated from the whole body into the dantian, Liu Jingmo opened her eyes, looked at Liu Ziling, who came over at some point and had been standing in the distance for a long time, and hurriedly got up and hugged her, the urgent look was as if Liu Ziling would disappear after a while. In the final analysis, in the wrestling between the two people at the beginning, the loser was himself after all.
It used to be Liu Ziling crying and telling herself not to leave her, but now she can't leave Liu Ziling.
"Mother's hard work, drink some water." wiped the sweat from Liu Jingmo's forehead, and handed her the water in his hand. Seeing that her daughter was so caring, Liu Jingmo couldn't help but want to hug her, but finally stopped this thought. Today is Liu Ziling's thirteenth birthday, and I can't treat her as a child anymore.
"You, it's clear that you're a little birthday star today, and you're still here to take care of me. Ziling, do you really only need the two of us today? Your birthday every year..."
"Mother, I know that you are afraid of wronging me, and you hold my birthday banquet every year, but compared to that kind of grand birthday banquet, I still like to be alone with my mother, promise me okay, there are only two of us today, no one should look for it."
"Okay."
Listening to Liu Ziling's words, Liu Jingmo nodded hurriedly, looking obedient. If this look is seen by others, I am afraid that my jaw will drop in shock. Everyone knows that Liu Jingmo, the valley master of the Medicine Immortal Valley, has a strange temperament, is as beautiful as a fairy, and has a temperament like ice. I'm afraid that only people who have seen her and Liu Ziling get along know that in front of her biological daughter, Liu Jingmo is still a tiger, and she is clearly an obedient kitten.
The two of them did not rush back, but sat on the stone bench in the back mountain and leaned quietly against each other. Because it was very close, Liu Jingmo could smell the faint herbal fragrance on Liu Ziling's body, but she had never smelled such a good aroma of herbs when she was in contact with medicine all year round. Perhaps only the taste of Liu Ziling can be perfectly integrated with the fragrance of the herbs.
Thinking of this, Liu Jingmo couldn't help but hug Liu Ziling tightly, and suddenly found that the other party seemed to have grown taller again. It was clear that it was only on his chest a year ago, but now it has reached his shoulder. Thinking of last year's birthday banquet, Liu Jingmo thought of the person with a special physique, Hua Yeyu. Liu Jingmo didn't expect that she didn't go to Lu Yuan's birthday banquet because Liu Ziling was sick, and then heard the news that Hua Yeyu had died.
It is said that it was Hua Yeyu who colluded with the Underworld Palace, and after being discovered, he was expelled from the school, and then ended himself. But Liu Jingmo knew that things would never be as simple as rumors, she didn't think that Hua Yeyu would unite with the Underworld, let alone that she was the kind of person who would commit suicide. Thinking of this, Liu Jingmo shook her head, but it was a pity that she wasted such a good seedling. I was surprised that I actually remembered other things when I was with Liu Ziling, and looked at the person in my arms apologetically, but found that Liu Ziling was curled up and covering her lower abdomen, looking very uncomfortable.
"Ziling, what's wrong with you?"
"Mother, I don't know what's wrong, I woke up this morning and had unbearable abdominal pain, so I just took some painkillers and the pain was even worse."
"Don't move yet, I'll take a look for you."
Seeing that Liu Ziling was uncomfortable, Liu Jingmo frowned, she put her hand on Liu Ziling's vein, and found that there was nothing abnormal, and frowned a little anxiously. Suddenly, Yu Guang saw that there seemed to be a little scarlet trace between Liu Ziling's white long skirt, and he understood what was going on.
"Ziling, don't panic, you've just grown up."
