Chapter 134: Return to the Extremely Cold Land (Part II)
As if she had cried enough, Mei Xiaogui wiped away her tears, lowered her head and walked in the direction of the stairs, step by step, difficult and heavy.
Mo Chen looked at her so heavy and said softly, "If you find it unbearable, don't go up and look at it." ”
Mei Xiaogui stopped, looked at Mo Chen with red and swollen eyes, shook her head and said:
"I want to see them."
Mochen sighed softly, and his footsteps moved slightly, out of the way.
Mo Qinglan quietly watched Mei Xiaogui go up to the second floor, and her cry sounded again, reaching the ears of the two.
"Let's come up together." Mo Chen stretched out his hand to Mo Qinglan.
Mo Qinglan bowed, and the two came to the second floor together.
As Mochen said, as the first floor is arranged, and the full tablets are quietly placed in the middle.
On the altar covered with a white tablecloth is an ash oven with three feathers in it.
This time, Mo Qinglan carefully looked at the names on the tablet, each of which started with the surname Feng, and none of them were listed.
Also, standing on the side, Mo Chen, who also looked wrong.
I saw him staring at the words on the wooden sign, with incomprehensible excitement and consternation in his eyes.
Mo Qinglan was puzzled, but he didn't ask immediately. Then she helped Mei Xiaogui up, and the three of them went up to the third floor together.
Not without surprises, the same arrangement.
On the fourth floor, it still is.
This bamboo building is simply a mourning hall building!
"Do you want to go up?" Mo Chen looked at Mei Xiaogui and asked.
"Up." This time, it was Mo Qinglan who opened his mouth first.
Mei Xiaogui glanced at Mo Qinglan gratefully, and her voice was dry and obscure because she had been crying for too long:
"I always feel like someone is calling me. Here I am, happy and sad. ”
Mei Xiaogui covered her chest with her hands, and her eyes turned red again.
Mochen sighed again and said no more.
On the fifth floor, the style has finally changed
Countless red silk cloths hung down from the top of the beam to the ground, and as soon as the door opened, the wind rolled up the red cloth and fluttered irregularly, which was very strange.
The three of them brushed aside the layers of red cloth and walked in cautiously, but fortunately there was no secret art, and they came to the altar safely.
When they saw the tablet on the altar clearly, Mo Chen and Mo Qinglan were surprised.
The spirit card is all crystal clear, the base is carved snow lotus, the snow lotus is inserted with a white feather, the name on the spirit card is red carved and dyed, like blood is faintly flowing.
I have to say that it was the first time they had seen such a spirit card, like an ice sculpture but it had never melted.
On the other hand, it also reflects the dignity of the owner of the spirit card on this floor.
There are fifteen such ice sculpture spirit cards, which are placed in four layers, and two are placed in the bottom layer.
The white tablecloth offering table was empty.
"Daddy, Auntie......" Mei Xiaogui ran over, hugged the two spirit cards tightly in her arms, and the broken words escaped, and tears flowed out uncontrollably.
Mo Chen on the side just looked at those spirit cards, and he was a little distracted.
"Tell us about it." Mo Qinglan looked at those spirit cards and said.
If Mei Xiaogui cries again, she will definitely have to cry badly, and talking can divert her attention and relieve her emotions.
"I remember it all. I am from the Feng clan, my aunt is the patriarch of the Feng clan, and my father is the deputy patriarch. A-Niang told me that we Feng people can only live here, and we can't go out. But I'm playful, and I always like to sneak out with those people who go out to buy. I was found several times, and my mother punished me severely. Daddy and my brother will be on the side to help me intercede. ”
Mei Xiaogui said as she stroked the two tablets in her arms, her face full of memories.
"A-Niang said that when we Feng people get married, we will give birth to a pair of wings, just like a snow deer that can fly in the sky, but people outside will treat us as monsters and will hurt us. I don't believe it, but I still sneak out often. One time I ran into ...... outside."
Mei Xiaogui stopped at this point.
"You ran into Ye Shuangqi." Mo Qinglan took over.
Ye Shuang's three words made Mei Xiaogui's body tremble, and her face began to ache:
"She and Emperor Xu, she said that she came to visit our Feng clan, but she got lost, and she also showed me the things she brought, food and clothing, all of which are necessities that our clan usually go out to buy. I didn't think much of it and brought them in. I never thought that it was me who harmed my father and aunt and my people......"
Mei Xiaogui couldn't go on, and she couldn't cry.
She didn't want to say it, and Mo Qinglan wouldn't ask again, the memories were painful, especially Mei Xiaohui thought that she was the culprit, even though she was only a playful child of four or five years old at that time.
"I think it's a little weird here." Mo Qinglan pursed his lips slightly and spoke.
"What's wrong?" Mo Chen's eyes were scarlet, and he asked suspiciously.
"When we were outside, we could feel that no one had been here for at least ten years, but this bamboo building, the ground, and the spirit tablets on each floor were very clean. There are traces of repair on the periphery of the bamboo building, and all kinds of phenomena indicate that people here are maintaining it. Mo Qinglan analyzed, and after speaking, she stared at Mo Chen.
She didn't know what Mochen had found, or if these spirit cards had reminded him of the tragic deaths in Shadowless Valley, but in short, Mochen had been wrong from the moment he entered the door.
Mei Xiaogui told about what happened when she was a child, Mo Chen went from the initial surprise to the silence behind, according to his attitude towards Mei Xiaogui in the past, he should come forward to comfort him at this time.
But Mochen just lowered his head and remained silent.
She deliberately said this to test Mochen.
"It's weird." Mei Xiaogui replied with a sob.
It seems that Mei Xiaogui also paid attention to this detail in addition to her grief.
"Let's go to the sixth floor." After Mo Qinglan finished speaking, he looked at Mochen again.
Mochen didn't move, so she helped Mei Xiaogui up, Mei Xiaogui held the spirit card, and the two went upstairs by themselves.
The sixth floor, also the top floor, is the last floor.
Pushing open the wooden door, it is no longer a spirit card inside, and it is finally a normal home furnishing. Plain curtain light yarn, landscape wind screen, bed, dresser, desk, everything.
Very quiet and very tidy.
Mei Xiaogui walked slowly from the living room, carefully looked at each place, and seemed to be crying but not smiling.
She walked to the dresser, opened the first drawer with her free hand, took out a silver hairpin carved from a snow lotus ornament, and grinned hard at Mo Qinglan:
"This is A-Niang's favorite hairpin, and I asked her for it several times but refused to give it to me. She said that when I got married, she would put it on for me with her own hands. Niang, Tangtang is back. A-Niang ......"
After finishing speaking, he was already teary-eyed.
Mo Qinglan couldn't bear to look any longer, and turned his face to the side.
At this moment, she suddenly felt that it was better to forget some of the past, since it was so painful, why bother to remember.
Mo Qinglan didn't know if it was right to do this, but she knew that after today's Mei Xiaogui, she would never be able to return to the original Mei Xiaozhu.
At this moment, a familiar neighing sound sounded outside, like a horse but not a horse......
