Chapter 23: Firmness

Do you still want to pick her up? When she is not Huihui, not the eldest lady of the Xie family?

Megumi was chosen for prayer in front of the ancestors when the child was not born.

This is the name chosen by the ancestors, the eldest lady of the Xie family, is Huihui.

Mrs. Xie leaned against the door, her face pale.

Not Megumi?

Isn't it Megumi who she's been holding in her arms since such a little bit?

Isn't it Megumi who she feeds herself day and night?

Isn't it Megumi who she learned to walk step by step by holding that fleshy little hand?

Isn't it Megumi who teaches her to write one by one by holding her hand?

"Mother." Mrs. Xie raised her head and looked at Mrs. Xie, "She has never left me, not to mention that she still has the cinnabar you ordered with your own hands, how can you say that she is not Huihui." ”

"Didn't that dead girl say it was because of a red mole in her eye?" Xie Wenxing said hurriedly.

"Shut up!" Mrs. Xie shouted, "I don't believe that girl's words! If you want to believe, you also believe in Yuan's mother! But Mother Yuan never told me! ”

She looked at Xie Wenxing, and then at Old Madam Xie.

"How can you trust outsiders so much? And this outsider is still at odds with Megumi? She's what you grew up watching, too! Why are you so ruthless! ”

Xie Wenxing sighed lightly.

"Ayuan, we are not ruthless." He said, glancing at Old Madam Xie, "If you don't be ruthless to Huihui, you will be ruthless to the entire Xie family." ”

"Of course I didn't believe it because outsiders said a word." Old Madam Xie said, "But after so many things happened, it was really unbelievable, she entered the mine not only did not die, but found the phoenix bloodstone." And now she can dance the full sacrifice dance, and also attract the manifestation of the mountain god, Ayuan, aren't you surprised at all? ”

"I'm a little surprised." Mrs. Xie said, "But what can this prove? It only proves that it was exactly where she was at that time. ”

"Do you still think that if Megumi is here, it will be the same?" Old Madam Xie raised her eyebrows and shouted.

"Who can guarantee that it won't?" Mrs. Xie also raised her eyebrows and shouted, "Mother." Don't forget, even if they are young. But they are also twins, they were conceived together, and they were nourished by the same blood at the same time. To put it bluntly, they are just one person split in half, this half can do it, and that half can also do it. ”

Yes. That's right.

After saying this, Mrs. Xie herself nodded. He took a deep breath and straightened his back.

Old Madam Xie looked at her.

"So, you still don't believe that the two of them hugged the wrong one?" She said.

"Mother, didn't you believe it at first?" Mrs. Xie said, "We don't believe what that person said. And now you believe that it is only because you have seen her dance of full sacrifice, and you have seen that she can serve the gods with witches, but you have not seen Megumi yet. How can you be sure she can't do it? ”

Old Madam Xie didn't speak, and Xie Wenxing couldn't help but speak again.

"She. It's not that you can't even jump. He said, "What else to do..."

She?

Is he reluctant to even shout Huihui?

Mrs. Xie looked at him fiercely.

"That's all because of her!" She shouted, "Why is Megumi like this? was all harmed by her, if she hadn't hurt Huihui, where would she have such an opportunity now. ”

Yes, if she hadn't hurt Huihui, how could Huihui have a leg disease, and she would not have been driven to Yushan, nor would she have drilled in the mines, nor would she .......

"That's it! Don't be cranky. Old Madam Xie shouted.

Mrs. Xie lowered her gaze.

"If you don't believe it in your heart, you have your own reasons for what you think." Old Madam Xie sighed and said, "So, you still don't believe it?" ”

Mrs. Xie raised her head.

"Unless I can see with my own eyes, she can't do it." "Otherwise, I wouldn't have denied her just because someone did it, and I wouldn't have given her a chance." ”

Old Madam Xie nodded.

"You're right, you should give her a chance, otherwise she won't believe it herself." "That would have hit her too hard." ”

has been a sister for thirteen years, and suddenly told her that she is not a sister, she is a sister, she is not a Dannu, she is not an eldest lady, and she is not the baby that her mother is looking forward to......

Her whole world is going to collapse.

Maybe it has collapsed now, Mrs. Xie looked outside, the night was dark, her tears couldn't help dripping, and she reached out and opened the door.

"Ayuan." Xie Wenxing stretched out his hand and grabbed her and held the door, "You, why are you going?" ”

"I'm going to pick up Megumi." Mrs. Xie said.

"It's better to wait until tomorrow and talk about it when we go back." Xie Wenxing persuaded softly, "You also said it, it's still uncertain, your relationship is not good now, I'm worried that you are out of shape, don't trouble her for the time being." ”

Mrs. Xie grabbed the door and stiffened, silent for a moment.

Xie Wenxing stroked her shoulder.

"Today's events are so sudden, everyone's hearts are in chaos." He said, and looked at Mrs. Xie again, "Let's rest for the night, let's be quiet first, and talk about it when we get home tomorrow, okay." ”

Mrs. Xie let out a sigh.

"Nope." She said, turning her head to look at Xie Wenxing, "If it weren't for what happened just now, I might really not pick her up if you persuaded me, but now, no." ”

She shook her head as she spoke, her nasal voice deep with tears dripping from her eyes.

"Not now, absolutely not, I won't leave her now, I won't, I definitely won't."

She shook off Xie Wenxing and opened the door.

……………………………………………………

It's already midnight, right?

Xie Rouhui leaned against the wall, hugging her knees, her tears had no strength to flow, and she sat like this.

The sacrifice must have been a success, right?

Maybe it was just like my grandmother's last Yushan Winter Festival, and the spectators were stunned, and then they all bowed and shouted.

"Miss! Miss! ”

There seemed to be a burst of shouting in Xie Rouhui's ears.

Miss...

She sniffed.

“… Oops, the wrong hug, am I holding the wrong one... She's not a big lady....she's not a big lady......"

The hem of the woman's skirt appeared before her eyes. Turning back and forth in a hurry, there were broken thoughts on the top of her head, and even a hand was carefully stretched over and touched her eyes.

"....Is it wrong? She's not the eldest lady? ……”

Just like at that time, Xie Rouhui closed her eyes tightly.

Go away, go away, go away.

She shouted inwardly. Finally, he reached out and pushed it over.

"Miss!?" The woman spun around. Grabbing her sleeve, her drunken eyes widened in disbelief in the dark night, "You ......"

But it was too late. The sound of falling water drowned out the rest of her words, and the drunken man couldn't even struggle for a few moments, and soon waved his hand and sank.

Die!

She looked at the lake that was gradually subsiding and spat inward.

Go to hell! The qiē that died never appeared and will never appear again.

But now. It's still there.

Xie Rouhui hugged her knees.

She's not the eldest lady anymore, they don't want her anymore.

"This evil obstacle!"

"Jiajia is so annoying!"

Xie Cunli's shout. The laughter of the sisters, the disgust of the mother, the snub of the father, later. This qiē is hers.

No, maybe even this is gone, she will stay in this tunnel forever. No one paid any more attention to her until she died quietly.

Father. Mother.

Xie Rouhui let out a laugh.

Father, mother, it's ridiculous.

At this moment, there was a creak behind her, Xie Rouhui shuddered, and looked over in disbelief.

The walls are slowly parting, and bright light is pouring in inch by inch.

It's an illusion again.

"Megumi."

A figure rushed in the light, shouting in a low voice.

Mother.

Xie Rouhui sat still, she wouldn't pounce on it again, she had hit the wall several times, she was already dead.

But the figure didn't turn into nothingness when it swooped down.

"Megumi Hui, Megumi , don't be afraid, I'm here I'm coming." Mrs. Xie hugged her tightly and cried.

Xie Rouhui's body was shocked.

"Mother?" She shouted, "Are you really here?" ”

Hearing this, seeing her daughter's sluggish appearance through the light behind her, Mrs. Xie cried.

"Yes, yes, it's true, I'm really here to pick you up, don't be afraid." She cried.

"Megumii, something has been delayed." Xie Wenxing also walked over, apologetic and worried.

Something was delayed.

Xie Rouhui looked at them, shook her head and smiled.

"Mother, father, I'm not afraid." She said, stretching out her hand to caress Mrs. Xie's tearful face, "Mother, don't be afraid, in fact, you don't need to pick me up now, it's so late, and the rush is urgent, waiting for tomorrow will be the same." ”

Mrs. Xie cried even more.

"Megumi." She hugged her daughter tightly, "My poor son, you didn't think about yourself in this heart, but we ......"

Xie Wenxing interrupted her with a light cough.

"Alright, let's go, it's important to hurry." He whispered.

The carriage swayed and quietly left the mansion and headed towards Yushan.

Xie Rouhui was tightly hugged in front of her by Mrs. Xie, swaying with the bumps of the carriage and horse.

"If you're sleepy, just sleep for a while." Mrs. Xie said in a low voice.

Xie Rouhui hummed.

"You haven't slept in days." She whispered.

Mrs. Xie took her in front of her.

"Okay, okay, it's all over." She said, and there was another pause in her words.

No, it's not in the past, it's just the beginning, what happens next......

"We're late, are you scared and angry?" She asked in a low voice.

Xie Rouhui sat up.

"What did Mother say?" She said in surprise, and then reached out to hug Mrs. Xie's arm, "Mother, how can I be scared and angry, this qiē is all for me." ”

Mrs. Xie wept again, and she couldn't even shout her name in this carriage, so she could only hug her tightly.

Xie Rouhui snuggled in front of her mother, and under the dim light of the lantern hanging outside the car, she could see that there was no expression on her face at all, no excitement, no excitement, no joy or sorrow, and no surprise.

They came to pick her up, but they were late, the so-called late, they must have hesitated.

They hesitated, they really wanted to leave her behind.

Xie Rouhui swayed gently with the car, and her eyes flashed with resentment as thick as the night without blinking.

They want to leave her behind!

………………………………………………………

The door of the ancestral hall was pushed open and did not wake up the sleeping girl, Mrs. Xie sat down beside her, so she had to reach out and push it.

"Megumi." She shouted.

The girl on the bed stretched out her arms and rolled over.

It's really heart-relieved, Mrs. Xie wants to laugh a little, but only with such a relaxed heart can she dance like that.

"Megumi." She reached out again and nudged, not giving up until she woke up.

The girl finally turned around.

"Why?" She said in a nasal snoring voice.

"Megumi." Old Madam Xie looked at her, "Xie Rouhui." ”

Xie Roujia smiled.

"Old lady, are you here to call this name for fun?" "But after tonight, don't make a mistake." ”

"Megumi." Old Madam Xie still shouted, and was silent for a moment, "Do you want to be Xie Rouhui forever?" ”

Xie Roujia's hair stood on end, and she sat up sharply.

"I don't want to." She said without the slightest hesitation.

Old Madam Xie looked at her.

"I know you didn't think about it." "And what if you are?" she said. ”

Xie Roujia looked at her, her eyes shining in the dim night light.

"I'm not." She said, shook her head, and nodded, "I'm Xie Roujia, I'm just, Xie Roujia, or Roujia, I won't be Xie Rouhui again in my life." ”

Never! Never!
