Chapter 55: Sleepless (Extra Update)
Mrs. Xie didn't know how long she had been sitting here, and when she looked up at the bright red and tall rough stone in front of her, the shock on her face had already frozen.
"Bloodstone."
Mrs. Xie's ears seemed to echo the story told by her wet nurse when she was a child.
"Wu Qing Niangniang raised the phoenix bloodstone, this phoenix bloodstone is the blood of the phoenix coagulated, it is the world's first-class divine object, the phoenix bloodstone came out, the light was shining, the snake demon immediately fled in a hurry, hundreds of birds on the mountains on all sides chirped together, the destroyed trees returned to green, and the river flowed again."
It was the most desirable treasure when I was a child, and I often pestered my nurse to ask my mother for bloodstone.
"We are the descendants of Wuqing Niangniang, why don't we have phoenix bloodstones in our family?"
"The phoenix blood stone is Wu Qing Niangniang's treasure, so naturally he will become an immortal with Wu Qing Niangniang."
"And what does Bloodstone look like?"
"Phoenix blood stone, what is recorded in the book is like cinnabar burning fire, warm and moist like jade, blood coagulation and not dying......."
She let out a long breath, and although her expression had tried her best to control it, her voice still trembled, and it was difficult to hide the shock in her heart.
How can it not be shocking, and whoever sees the legendary things told in the story when he was a child appears alive in front of him, he has to be shocked.
"Sister-in-law, this is really a phoenix bloodstone, right?"
The voice behind him asked.
Mrs. Xie exhaled again.
"Yes." She said.
A simple word should be a matter of ecstasy, but how it feels like to say it is a bit complicated.
"I didn't expect that there was such a treasure hidden in the depths of this mountain."
There was cheering behind him.
"I didn't expect to find it like this."
yes, I found it.
"That kid actually fooled around and took people into the mine, saying that he wanted to look for mines, but the mine collapsed."
Anger and even some words of schadenfreude still echo in the ears, but now the meaning of the word is completely different, and no one will feel that this time is nonsense.
"No wonder they came into the cave, they must have been guided by the mountain god."
Mountain God Guidance
So they were guided into the mine by the mountain god, and then deduced that the old lady was also guided by the mountain god when she was making a fuss about coming to Yushan? Was it God's will?
So what are we? Is it a mortal to try to stop the stupid people who mock the will of God?
"It's a great joy."
The laughter behind him continued lively.
A great joy is indeed a great joy, but why does this great joy happen in this way?
Her mother hated her, and even the mountain gods hated her.
What is wrong with her, people and heaven will do this to her.
Mrs. Xie took a deep breath, looked at the phoenix blood stone in front of her again, turned around and left.
"Oops."
Xie Wenchang, Xie Wenxing and others, who were laughing happily, shouted in surprise.
"Ayuan, are you optimistic?" Xie Wenxing asked.
"Look at it." Mrs. Xie didn't turn around and said lightly.
"Sister-in-law, what should I do? Dig cinnabar or bloodstone first? Xie Wenchang asked excitedly.
Mrs. Xie exhaled.
"Second brother, you asked the wrong person, now this Yushan, it is the mother who is in charge, how to dig, what to dig, what to do after digging, you go and ask her." She said, "I don't dare and I can't be the master." ”
She said she didn't stop and hurried out.
"That's what I said." Xie Wenchang shook his head, "What's yours and mine, isn't it all our Xie family." ”
Seeing Xie Wenxing and Mrs. Xie leaving, Xie Wenxiu walked over.
"Second brother, let's go too, it's late at night, go back and rest, I haven't slept all night." He said.
Xie Wenchang glared and shook his head.
"Sleep? How do you sleep here? If I want to sleep, I'll have to sleep here. He said, "If you want to go, you can go." ”
How can it be, the news has been sent back, and the people at home will arrive tomorrow, and it is not a small matter of first and then sooner or later, so he is still here to guard.
Xie Wenxiu smiled and sat down on the ground.
"I can't sleep either." He said, "I'll accompany my second brother." ”
……………………………………………………
When Xie Wenxing chased after him, Mrs. Xie had already arrived outside the door of the mansion.
"I knew you weren't going back to the city." Xie Wenxing said with a smile.
"I really want to go back." Mrs. Xie said.
"But you're not going to do that." Xie Wenxing said, patting her arm, "Because something happened in the mine, a bad thing, you can't go, a good thing, you can't go, whether you are happy or unhappy, comfortable or uncomfortable, you are Miss Xie, you are Mrs. Xie, you have to be here." ”
Mrs. Xie held his hand, and her nose was sour.
"Ayuan, don't worry, don't worry." Xie Wenxing said softly, "Go and rest, today's matter has been settled, let's talk about tomorrow's matter tomorrow." ”
Mrs. Xie didn't speak, the two of them walked into the door, and as soon as they walked to the front of the ancestral hall, they saw several servant women and girls standing, and they couldn't help but be startled.
That's Xie Rouhui's people.
"Megumi is here?" Mrs. Xie asked in surprise.
The servant woman hurried forward to give the salute.
"Yes, madam, the eldest lady is not at ease at home, so she also rushed over." They said.
"And where is she?" Xie Wenxing asked.
The servant didn't answer, Mrs. Xie had already seen it, and in front of the tall ancestral hall archway not far away, a small figure was kneeling.
Mrs. Xie thought of herself yesterday, and sincerely knelt in the ancestral hall to pray to the ancestors and ancestors, praying for the prosperity of the family and praying for all the best.
But now it seems that in the end, it is also a wish.
Not to mention the priceless cinnabar, as soon as the phoenix bloodstone came out, the Xie family's position in the land of Bashu was stable.
"Megumi, get up." She walked over and said.
Xie Rouhui heard this and hurriedly turned her head.
"Mother, father, you are back." She said happily, getting up, but she couldn't get up because she knelt for too long.
Mrs. Xie stretched out her hand to help her.
"It's cold on the ground, how can you ignore it? You have old injuries in your legs, and this is about to be the third of March, if you get sick again, how can you get better? She shouted.
Xie Rouhui bowed her head and replied.
"Okay, okay, she's also worried about it." Xie Wenxing persuaded.
"What's the use of worrying, what's the use of worrying, who uses you to worry, it's just a joke for yourself." Mrs. Xie said.
Xie Rouhui shook her head.
"No, Mother." She said, holding Mrs. Xie's hand, "We are not worried about what others think, as long as the result is good, what does it matter what others think, I don't think I am ridiculous." ”
Mrs. Xie's heart softened, and Xie Wenxing nodded with a smile.
"Well said, Megumii." "So open-minded," he said. ”
Mrs. Xie sighed lightly.
"Open-minded, open-minded is not as good as those who are not open-minded." She said, looking at her daughter a little sad, she reached out and hugged Xie Rouhui, "Why are you as miserable as me." ”
Xie Rouhui snuggled in her mother's arms, and her heart was also sour and unbearable.
Where is the life hard, is she the real life? At least mother, you don't have an identical sister.
"Miss Roujia! Miss Roujia! ”
Her ears still haunted the disgusting name of the disgusting voice.
Why is the ghost lingering? Why can't a mine collapse kill her?
In front of the ancestral hall on a winter night, the mother and daughter who were snuggling up to each other were depressed in their hearts, and the shadows stretched by the lights became more and more gloomy.
Tonight is destined to be sleepless.
Brother An and the others in the room withdrew, and after being placed by the girls, Mrs. Xie leaned on the pillow and let out a long breath.
Old lady Xie probed outside the door.
"Go to bed early, after staying up for so long and climbing the cave again, you're not a young man anymore." He said, and asked the doctor if he had taken the medicine.
After coming back, Mrs. Xie called the doctor to take a good look at herself, Brother An and others, applied medicine to the wound, boiled a decoction, and ironed the care.
"How did you sleep?" Old Madam Xie said.
Seeing that she didn't say let her go, Old Lady Xie came in happily.
"I know, I've been surprised and happy these days, and I definitely can't sleep." He said, while sitting down on the Luohan bed, "But if you can't sleep, you have to sleep, you can't stay up at this age, besides, think about it carefully, whether this is a new mine, or the phoenix bloodstone is in the world, it's not a big deal, we have lived for such an old age, can we still be out of shape for this gaffe?" ”
Old Madam Xie hummed.
"Oh, it's not a big deal." She said, "It's just for a while, without it, the Xie family is still prosperous, with it, the Xie family is just the icing on the cake, but it is a ......matter of a lifetime."
This was the second sentence she took the initiative to ask and answer with herself tonight, and Old Lady Xie was overjoyed.
"What's that for the rest of your life?" He asked.
Old Madam Xie glared.
"I've been up for so long? Didn't you stay up? Why aren't you sleeping yet? She shouted.
Old lady Xie laughed, and immediately lay down obediently on the side.
"Sleep, sleep, I'm here to sleep." He said.
Only when they were in the bedroom did they share the same bed, this was Mrs. Xie's study, watching Mrs. Xie lie down, she couldn't help frowning, raised her foot to kick over, but lifted it up and slowly put it down, and Mrs. Xie, who was facing away from her, snored.
He has also stayed up for two days and one night, and he is not young anymore.
Old Madam Xie turned over, blew out the lamp on the desk, and silently distracted in the dark night with the snoring sound in her ears.
…………………………………………
Before dawn, Brother An and the others woke up, or they didn't sleep all night.
"It's so easy to be in front of the Dan Lords, where can I be willing to sleep." Aba said.
A few people washed and cleaned up, changed into the new clothes given by Mrs. Xie, and stood in the yard boldly for a moment, listening to the little girls say that the old lady had gotten up, and several people hurriedly went to say goodbye.
There were not many people in the mansion along the way, and as soon as I arrived at the gate of Mrs. Xie's courtyard, I saw a girl walking in front of me.
Brother An's eyes lit up.
"Miss Roujia!" He shouted happily.
Ah Ba and the others also saw it, and they were immediately overjoyed, and everyone hurriedly chased after them.
Miss Roujia is here too! Roujia is also here!
But as soon as she rushed to the front, the girl turned around, her eyes were bright, her skin was like jade, she was holding a pearl headband and a pale blue and silver trimmed jacket, she was obviously dressed very simply, but it made people feel that she couldn't look at it directly.
Brother An suddenly retracted his feet and took a few steps back, while the others also reacted and hurriedly retreated.
"You...," the girl said with a slight smile.
Before she could finish speaking, Brother An bowed her head and saluted.
"We recognized the wrong person." He said, stepping back again.
It's funny.
At the beginning, she was asked to cover that face so that she would not be mistaken for herself again, but she didn't expect that now that she has no face, but people only recognize her.
Xie Rouhui's hand in the sleeve in front of her was tightly clenched, and her gaze fell on the young man who was leading the retreat.
Miss Roujia! It's you, shouting so closely.
"What's your name?" She asked with a smile, looking at Brother An.
