Chapter 56: Milk

Since Zhou Manhua was sent to Balei Mountain, Manyun has never seen her again, deliberately.

Although a person is alive, he is suddenly given up by his loved ones and forcibly erased the traces of his past existence in the world, Zhou Manyun has experienced. Sympathy and help, she can't do it, and she can only hide from afar.

Zhou Manhua's two-month life in the mountains may be more difficult than the previous stars holding the moon, but it is generally not bad. There are some in Baoshu Village, and they have also prepared one for the mountain. Du Xuanfeng also arranged for two soldiers of the Du family to live near the mountain people's house she fostered that day, specifically to protect her safety, and even forgot to go to the mountains to take care of her current situation.

Zhou Xian had difficulty climbing the mountain due to leg disease. Zhou Manyun only accompanied him, reluctantly went to the back mountain of Puji Temple, borrowed a deserted courtyard in the temple where he used to live in seclusion and retreat, and waited for Zhou Manhua to be brought from a small village in the mountains farther away.

Blue and white cloth jacket, blue cloth skirt, hair is also half wrapped in cloth, Zhou Manhua, who hesitantly walked in the door, has lost his former demeanor, and his plain face has lost weight, only his eyes are bigger and brighter.

"Grandpa!" , Zhou Manhua saw Zhou Xian in the room, first slowed down two steps sluggishly, and then, he knelt in front of Zhou Xian, stroked his grandfather's knee and cried. The cloth towel around his head fell to the ground with sobbing, revealing a shoulder of broken hair......

Leaving the silence in the room to his grandfather and eldest sister, Zhou Manyun sneaked out and closed the door.

Zhou Manhua's hair was self-hinged while people were not paying attention, saying that he was going to lose his hair on his own and find a temple to be his sister-in-law. Listening to Bai Lu's explanation in a low voice beside him, Zhou Manyun nodded slowly. Maybe. With the green lantern ancient Buddha, it is also a good home for a homeless weak woman.

Zhou Manyun sat under the tree. Quietly counting the ants crawling under the shadow of the mottled trees, looking down at the efforts of small creatures to survive.

Ants steal their lives. What's wrong? Waiting for his grandfather's decision on Zhou Manhua's arrangement can be regarded as a temptation!

The graffiti back and forth on the ground stopped, and Manyun, who had been counting, gently dropped the grass stalk in his hand and smiled reluctantly.

In fact, after receiving the news of his father's funeral, Zhou Manyun has been repeatedly considering whether to return to Huocheng with his mother. Don't mention it in the past life, in this life, she thinks it would be better to return to her grandfather's house in Yanzhou with her mother, although Yanzhou will have to wait for Taiye to be basically stable after five years. But it would be nice if you could use the little bit you remembered.

The dull and gloomy Huocheng Zhou family, for Man Yun, it is okay not to return. It's just that now she has to go back. She wants to send her father back, Du wants to go back to accompany her husband, and the unborn baby has to be written behind her father's name in the ancestral tree......

Three years of filial piety, the death of his grandfather two years later, and his own wedding date ten years later...... When can I leave, and when must I leave? Zhou Manyun thought about those overlapping and chaotic days, and his heart was restless.

"Sister Yun!". The door creaked open, and Zhou Manhua leaned against the door with a shy face, beckoning to Manyun.

After crying happily in front of his grandfather, Manhua's spirit was much better. With a relaxed face, the dress of the cloth dress and thorn skirt also looks refreshing and pleasant.

Zhou Manyun glanced at Manhua deeply and did not squeak. Walked in on tiptoe. The step only hesitated, and immediately leaned towards Zhou Xian, who had a kind face. showed a childish look and said, "Grandpa." Have something to tell Yun'er? ”。 In the past two months, he has fulfilled his filial piety in front of Du's family, and with a childish love, Zhou Manyun has come easily.

Zhou Xian really smiled with relief, grabbed Man Yun with one hand, patted the chair next to him with the other, and motioned for Man Hua to sit down as well.

"Ask you two sisters together, grandpa wants to tell you a story......

Tale? Zhou Manyun was disappreciative in his heart, and he had already guessed that most of his grandfather wanted to use things to reason and tell some reason. But after a while, her big eyes, which were originally pretending to be curious, gradually became stunned as Zhou Xian spoke.

"After the founding of the Chen Dynasty, the Yanyun border has always been the fief of Jingguo Gong, and the Xiao family lived in the local area to guard the border of the country, but after the collusion of the king thirty-three years ago, there were only two male men left in the Jingguo Mansion and the ancestor and grandson of the old Jingguo Gong...... In the second year of Showa, the old Jingguo Gong passed away, and the whole territory of Yanyun was mourned, but the army of the Qiang nationality took this opportunity to move south again, and attacked Dingyuan, Jixi, and Beiyakou......

At the mouth of the North Cliff, the barbarians of the Exhaustion tribe, who had never been good at attacking the city, actually resorted to an unbelievable method, throwing a bottle containing black water into the city wall, and then setting off rockets to fuel it...... That kind of black water, produced in the desert of the extreme west, the water cannot be extinguished, and the city is full of wails for a while, and it is full of burns...... At that time, the guard of Beiyakou was surnamed Du, and when he led the soldiers to defend the city, his wife also took the servants and led the women in the city to rescue the wounded soldiers...... In the wounded barracks, a burned soldier was in excruciating pain and delirious, and while Mrs. Du was changing his dressing, he grabbed her chest and grabbed her shirt......

"Ahh , Zhou Manhua exclaimed, and firmly covered his chest with both hands.

Mrs. Du's clothes were dragged by death and could not be loosened, and some servants around her stepped forward to drag the wounded soldier away, and some of them had drawn knives and aimed them at the wrists of the wounded soldier. At that time, Mrs. Du had just given birth to her little daughter, and she was ...... between pushes and blocks", Zhou Xian's narration paused, wanting to consider how to talk to her two young granddaughters again.

The wounded soldier stroked his wife's breasts and called his mother. On the side, a comrade wept and knelt down to beg his wife, saying that this person had not been able to enter since he was injured, and that he was dying, and he thought of his relatives and hoped to forgive his sins. The lady sat silently, sat on the ground, carried the wounded soldier in her lap, undressed, and ...... breast"

Zhou Manyun's voice was extremely light and delicate, telling the rest of the story, according to the memories of his previous life.

"It turns out that Sister Yun has heard of it!" , Zhou Xian smiled with relief and nodded.

"Later, what happened to this Mrs. Du?" , Zhou Manhua asked eagerly.

Zhou Manyun shook her head, and the story she heard in her previous life was here.

After the war calmed down and the meritorious deeds were rewarded, some people impeached General Du for Mrs. Du's misconduct of undressing in front of everyone, and accused him of tidying up the internal curtains. Some corrupt Confucians came to the door to suggest that General Du divorce his wife, and some families saw that the general was promoted and planned to send their daughters to the door. The general said, 'My wife has taken my life and official position out of the pile of dead, lest she divorce me, how dare I divorce her!' ’”

With a soft snort, Man Yun's small hand covered his mouth, and only his two eyes were bent into crescents. Grandfather deliberately spoke in a thick voice as if he was imitating a real person.

It is common sense for a husband to make his wife obey, can there really be such a husband and wife in the world? After laughing, Man Yun lowered his eyelashes, and at the same time found that Man Hua's hand beside him was tightly twisting the corners of his clothes.

"General Du Hengcheng, Mrs. Du's Mo Zhi, is Sister Yun's maternal grandparents."

Zhou Xian stroked his beard, looked at the eyes of the two granddaughters from doubt to shock, and said slowly: "Sister Hua! The Zhou family has been scholarly for generations, and has never been married to a military general's family before. You should have heard of the old things that your five uncles and five aunts got married, and your grandmother strongly objected......"

"Grandfather!" , Zhou Manhua glanced at Man Yun who was sitting beside him, and called out timidly, his face was slightly red. What my grandfather said was the truth, as the eldest daughter of the Zhou family's generation, she had heard the complaints of her grandmother and mother about the marriage of the five uncles and five aunts, and this kind of private criticism was really embarrassing.

"Manhua! Back then, I was the master of marrying the Du family, and your grandmother kept blaming me because of the short-sightedness of Songya and the desire to find the Du family as a shelter. But in fact...... Actually, I want to marry the daughter of the Du family as my daughter-in-law, and it is Mrs. Mudu who is chaste and noble! ”

"Grandpa!" , Man Yun's face also showed surprise. She had heard Du Shi talk about the past between her and her father, and then thought of the Zhou family's attitude of concealing her mother's background in her previous life, and she had always suspected that her parents' affairs were not recognized by the Zhou family, and her grandfather's words were unexpected.

"Zhenlie Gaohua!" Zhou Xian emphasized, his old face was half drunk and red, he looked at his two granddaughters with a burning eye, and said: "I tell you the story of Mrs. Du, just to let you know that a woman's chastity does not lie in the body, but in the heart!" ”

"Who cares? Who cares! What the reputation of the Zhou family is, it's all an excuse! Lao Zhou Xian stood up, raised his arms, and was emotional.

"Grandpa!" , Manhua fell to his knees with tears streaming down his face and hugged Zhou Xian's legs.

Zhou Xian turned around, grinned, and cried bitterly, "Sister Hua! It's the useless old man Grandpa that made you feel wronged! ”

"My granddaughter just wants to find a quiet place and become a monk!" , Zhou Manhua's request sounded whimpering in the midst of crying.

"The Buddha only accepts enlightened people!" , Zhou Xian shook his head to stop Manhua's thoughts, held back his tears, and persuaded his eldest granddaughter who was still sobbing, "Sister Hua! Grandpa wants you to go to Yanzhou! ”

"I heard from Xuanshuang that your grandmother and they have spread the news of your death in Huocheng, and even relatives and friends who are far away in Luojing have sent a letter. Coming back from the dead is not a trivial matter. When you arrive in Yanzhou, I will entrust you to Mrs. Du, and you will follow her, and then think carefully about what to do in the future...... Chunhua Qiushi, you are the first of grandpa's grandchildren, I always think hello haode, you are all good haode......"

On the other side, the grandson cried, but Zhou Manyun sat alone on the chair and curled up his legs and knees, and the chill in his heart twitched around the entire small body tightly.

The lady in the story is actually her grandmother, but I have heard this story twice in my previous life, and the narrator has never mentioned it.

The first time, when he was newly married to Gao Wei Yan'er, he talked about it in a wild history novel, hiding the name and surname of the place in the era, and only used a certain substitution. The second time, but a few years later, when the army of Jingguo Gong was about to return to Yanzhou, Xiao Hong suddenly mentioned the old news of Yandi when he was leaving, and he went on to say that he would also drive Man Yun to the medical tent to learn the same.

They don't know?

They know! They knew it was their grandmother's deeds! Zhou Manyun clenched her little hands, the details of their stories in their previous lives were reflected very clearly in her heart at this moment, she could be sure that they were all insiders.

Compared with the stupid Zhou Manyun, they knew more about her, but they all chose to hide it.

Thinking of his previous life of being fooled, Zhou Manyun bit his lip tightly. (To be continued......)
