Chapter 15 Self-immolation
Aunt Jean is gone.
I think back to my life in the garden over the years.
The girls in the front yard have disdain for me, and they take care of me. It seems that there is also some fear.
I just don't know how much truth those who disdain me know about it?
How many of those who took care of me were sincere and how much were false?
Ah Bao and Ah Lai should not be together, if Ah Bao is the person left to me by my mother, then he will be good to me, teach me the martial arts of self-defense openly and secretly, and tell me these things by revealing the situation in the pear orchard.
But Aunt Jean?
Did Aunt Qin raise me really keep me to avenge my mother?
No, Aunt Qin hid a lot of things and didn't tell me.
She must know more about the truth about her mother's death.
It's okay if she doesn't say anything, I can wait for Po to come back.
····
I thought a lot about it that night, thinking about my mother, my grandfather, Liyuan, Ah Bao and Aunt Qin.
Before I knew it, it was about to dawn, and I looked at the sky outside as if I was in a different world.
What about Shengge?
She hasn't come back yet! If she's punished for going out to me, I can't leave her alone.
Mama Li not only knows my life experience, but also let me live so long, I think there are some things in me that Mama Li and the people behind him are afraid of.
I just don't know why they kept me, whatever it is, as long as there are chips, it's all easy to say.
I can test the weight of my chips!
I climbed out of bed, my feet still swollen, but I could walk with a limp.
Now that the sky had just cleared, and the fun-seekers had left, it was time for the girls to fall asleep.
Today I'm going to turn over this pear orchard!
The fierce momentum in the front yard knocked the girl's house one by one and shouted the name of Shengge in the garden.
After searching the front yard and looking for the backyard, but I searched every corner of the pear orchard and didn't find Shengge, and the girls thought I was frightened and mentally abnormal.
There's no song, and there's no mechanism like there's a dark room!
When I rushed into the house, some of the girls screamed in fright, some of them scolded me for being sick, and some of them had murderous intent flashing in their eyes.
I laughed secretly in my heart, people's knee-jerk reactions can best reflect a person's nature, girls, you are exposed!
Alai and the grandmothers surrounded me in the backyard, and no one tried to tie me up, let alone beat me.
It seems that they did not dare to hurt me without being ordered.
What if I hurt myself?
"I want to see Shengge," I looked at Alai grimly.
"Nonsense! Get back to your own house! Otherwise..."
"How else? Did you peel me? ”
Alley was cut off by me, and the terrier clenched his fists there.
I pulled out the hidden fire fold from my bosom.
"Since you all want me to die, I will die for you! I want you all to die with me!! ”
I lit the fire and went to burn my dress.
Alai seems to look down on my behavior, and his eyes are contemptuous! When his clothes were lit, he seemed surprised, but he still stood there and did not come to my rescue.
I'm stunned? Is the bet wrong? Are you really watching me set myself on fire?
The grandmothers were the first to react, rushing over and holding me down, taking off their coats and slapping the flames on me.
Luckily, my clothes didn't burn a little bit.
I hugged my head and protected my face.
The fire on my body had long been extinguished, but the grandmothers didn't stop and slapped me.
I have reason to suspect that they are trying to beat me up for their own sake.
Standing outside, Alai frowned, pushed away the grandmother who was surrounding me, grabbed me from the ground, looked at my neck and slashed me with a machete.
Before fainting, he seemed to hear him scold: "Rabbit cub! ”
Dog, this pear orchard belongs to my mother, you have to call me Miss! You wait for Lao Tzu to turn over!
Mama Li hasn't shown up, probably dealing with Linglan's affairs, Alai dragged me into Mama Li's garden.
The grandmothers were guarding the gate of the courtyard.
That's right... I'm pretending to be dizzy.
I'm so lucky to have made the right bet again!
There is no Shengge in the garden, so the only possibility is that Aunt Qin mentioned that she was locked up in the dungeon.
I'm making such a fuss today, and the garden must be keeping me in a place of absolute secrecy.
It's just that I don't know what else Shengge has committed in addition to looking for me that deserves to be imprisoned in a dungeon.
Alai didn't have the slightest pity, and dragged me all the way to another side room in Li's mother's garden.
I squinted at what Alai was fiddling with on the side cabinet where the tea set was kept, and a secret door opened on the wall.
Alley looked at me with disgust.
Dragged me by the feet through the secret door.
Meow! It turned out to be a step... My head was knocked around, and I was so dizzy that I could barely perform.
Thankfully, there are only six steps.
After being dragged down a few more corners, I heard Mama Li's voice and Shengge's cry.
Alley threw me on the ground and left.
After a while, Mama Li came back with him.
There was a "snap", as if someone had been beaten.
"What did you do?" Mama Li asked Alai in a cold tone.
"Yes!"
"The master said she can't have a scar on her body!"
Am I confused?
"She's making a lot of trouble, and she's going to burn herself to death, don't teach her a lesson, I'm afraid she thinks she's a good thing!"
Syllable!
Another slap in the face.
"She can't call the shots for anything, the master's order is the master's order!"
Alai seemed unconvinced, and his wheezing voice was a little rough.
"Go down and get your punishment! Not an example! ”
Alai turned around and left, and Mama Li looked at me on the ground and sneered a few times.
"If you feel tired of being out there, let's keep it in this dungeon for a few days!"
····
Lying in the dungeon, I thought in my heart, it seems that my guess is right, they dare not kill me for some reason, or even dare not hurt me, but they will not allow me to leave the pear orchard.
I'm like a hostage!
Didn't my mother die? So they raised me to bring my mother?
Or maybe I have some important secrets?
I remember when I was a child, and I didn't have anything to do with my mother.
Since I was a child, the people in the garden said that I was born to a girl in the garden, but I thought so deeply and didn't care.
But everything starts to be different from today!
My hand grips the dead grass on the ground tightly, and I'll find out the truth myself! I'll know who I am!
If the pear orchard was really created by my mother, I will definitely take it back, and my mother can do it, so can I!
The sound outside suddenly stopped, as if something was wrong, and Mama Li took the grandmothers away.
I waited for a while, made sure there was no one outside, and then removed the hidden clip from my head.
Thanks to Xiao Mu for teaching me this trick of opening the door and picking the lock.
After opening the cell door, I looked for it lightly, the dungeon was not big, and soon I found Shengge.
There was still a light in the room where the torture was performed, and there seemed to be something going on outside, and Mother Li and the grandmothers were in a hurry.
Sheng Ge was tied to a shelf with no wounds on his body.
I shook her awake: "Shengge..."
"Shengge"
Sheng Ge slowly opened his eyes, looked at me and called out in confusion: "Mother? ”
Homesick this is?
I paused and grinned at Shengge and lowered my voice.
"Good girl, I'm here to save you."
