Chapter 320, Confession
Su Lingling resolutely left the Hou Mansion, but she did not go back to the medical hall, and unconsciously shook to the bridge where she was about to jump into the river before, and coincidentally, she met the young man Mu Qiao who saved her here again.
It's just that this time Mu Qiao stood on the bridge with a faceless face, and he reversed the situation between the two of them last time.
Su Lingling stood under the bridge and looked at him, Mu Qiao quickly noticed her gaze, and also looked over, Su Lingling walked up and asked, "What are you doing standing here?" ”
"Look at the scenery."
Su Lingling sneered unabashedly.
Mu Qiao ignored her, walked under the bridge, took two steps before turning around, looked at Su Lingling a few times, and asked, "What's wrong with your hair?" ”
Su Lingling casually tied his half-length hair with a belt, and said nonchalantly: "It's shaved." ”
Mu Qiao glanced at the long sword at her waist and suddenly smiled, "Preparing to become a monk?" ”
Su Lingling snorted, "I have this plan, but the Buddha may not be willing to take me in, I am not sincere." ”
Mu Qiao smiled and turned his face sideways, Su Lingling stared at him for a moment, and suddenly a strange feeling came to his heart.
The person in front of him looks a little similar to Yan Ran, especially when he smiles sideways like this!
She was startled by this thought, and asked in a mysterious way, "Do you know a person named Yanran?" ”
Mu Qiao's whole person froze, Su Lingling caught up with him in a few steps, Mu Qiao ran away like a frightened horse, Su Lingling followed behind, the two ran through the streets and alleys for a while, Su Lingling still lost Mu Qiao, she thought to herself, this Mu Qiao, must have something to do with Yanran, otherwise why did he run away as soon as he heard her name?
Is it a brother and sister?
Su Lingling felt more and more that it was possible, since asking Mu Qiao was fruitless, then ask Yanran?
But when she was about to walk to the door of the medical hall, she felt that she was too much to worry about like this, Yanran herself said that she didn't want to mention the past, and Mu Qiao was obviously evading, what did she care about as an outsider? She hasn't figured out her own affairs yet.
She was about to turn around and leave, the door of the medical hall had already opened, and Aunt Qiao smiled when she saw her, "Are you back?" Have you eaten? Just in time for dinner to be ready. ”
Su Lingling's heart suddenly warmed, her eyes turned red instantly, Aunt Qiao's gaze flashed a few times in her hair, and then moved away and opened the door a little, "Come in, wait for the food to be cold." ”
Su Lingling felt that she was becoming more and more useless, and tears actually flowed out again, Aunt Qiao patted her shoulder and said, "What are you crying about, what grievances have you suffered to tell Aunt Qiao?" It's okay if you don't want to say it, cry, cry, cry and feel better! ”
Su Lingling has always cried forbearantly, without making a sound, but her tears don't flow like money, she is afraid that she is more pampered these days than in the Hou Mansion, she didn't cry when she was rejected by Sun Xian, and she didn't cry when she was raped by Song Linzhao, she was cared for now, but she wanted to shed all the tears of this life.
It's too uncompetitive.
Su Lingling bit her arm, and after a while, tears wet half of her sleeves, Aunt Qiao looked at her, sighed, distressed but didn't know what to say, so she just touched her head, it didn't matter, so that Su Lingling's tears that he finally decided to stop broke the embankment again.
Sometimes comfort is the weapon of tear-jerking.
Su Lingling didn't know how long she had been crying, but then she fell asleep in a daze, and when she woke up, it was already late at night, she sat up, feeling hungry, and her body was a little sticky and uncomfortable.
She got up and opened the door, deciding to boil some hot water and take a shower first, and then go to the kitchen to find something to eat.
After crying, she slept and felt much more comfortable, Su Lingling went to the kitchen to boil water, and then took a bath, a half-short hair hung on the top of her head like seaweed, she grabbed her hair carelessly, and wanted to go to the kitchen again, but saw that the light in Yanran's room was on.
She walked over lightly, the door suddenly opened, and Su Lingling hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, did I wake you up?" ”
Yanran shook her head, and Su Lingling found that she was dressed neatly, not like she had already slept, but as if she had just come back from outside.
But Su Lingling didn't ask anything.
"What's wrong with your hair?"
Even the questions asked are the same.
Su Lingling suddenly thought so, she was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I broke with the Hou Mansion, and I can only rely on the medical hall to take me in in the future." ”
Yan Ran frowned and glanced at her, Su Lingling smiled: "Don't worry, I'm fine, I've wanted to do this for a long time." ”
She doesn't have any feelings for the Hou Mansion, and she goes back from time to time just because she still cares a little about the capital.
Su Lingling pointed to his stomach and said, "I'm hungry, go make something to eat." ”
Yan Ran suddenly stepped out of the door and winked at her: "Actually, I'm hungry too, let's go together." ”
So the two slipped into the kitchen, Aunt Qiao actually left food for Su Lingling, Su Lingling quickly heated the meals, and the two squatted by the stove and ate supper without any image.
The two quickly settled the leftovers and returned to the courtyard, and just after eating, neither of them felt sleepy, so they made it under the locust tree in the courtyard.
After being silent for a while, Yanran spoke: "Why don't you ask me?" ”
Su Lingling raised his eyebrows: "Huh? ”
"I didn't even change my clothes."
"If I ask you, I'll tell me, why did you go out? Will you tell me, although you are in poor health, you haven't lost your martial arts yet? ”
Yan Ran looked at her with slightly round eyes, then turned away and said with a smile: "Actually, my real home is not far from here." ”
Su Lingling listened quietly and didn't ask questions, she listened as much as Yanran could tell her.
"I also have a child, more than ten years ago, when I was younger than you, I was born prematurely, I haven't had time to see him, they told me that I gave birth to a stillborn, I don't believe it, I have to look for it, but I haven't found it for a few years, but I was targeted by the enemy, I was poisoned, my voice changed, and my body was not as good as before, I thought I was going to die, so I wanted to go back...... I went home to take a look, but I heard the news that I had given birth to a child and died in childbirth. ”
Yan Ran lowered her head, there was still a faint smile on her lips, as if it was not her own business, her eyes were calm and peaceful, Su Lingling looked at her, but she seemed to see herself.
Could it be that the child in Yanran's womb is not such a glorious child in her family, so she is unwilling to let the child survive, because Yanran has humiliated her family, so they call her dead?
Su Lingling was sighing in her heart, and suddenly something flashed through her mind.
A child born more than 10 years ago?!
"Yanran, you, how old should your child be?"
Yan Ran paused, then lowered his head and smiled lightly: "Seventeen years old, when I gave birth to him, he was also so old." ”
Su Lingling felt that the wind seemed to be a bit noisy tonight.
"Are you, surnamed Mu?"
The smile that was still on her lips froze when she heard this sentence, and then disappeared as if the wind was blowing away, Yanran turned her face sideways to look at her, and asked softly, "You know?" ”
"I met a boy who looked like you, he was about the same age as you said your son, and he reacted very much when I mentioned your name to him." Su Lingling paused one sentence after another, and looked at Yan Ran's face carefully, Yan Ran was already pale, and she couldn't see anything, but she felt that her eyes were darker.
"His name is Mucho." Su Lingling finally said.
Uncle Qiao took Yanran's pulse, and then put her hand back in the quilt, Su Lingling asked, "How is she?" ”
Uncle Qiao groaned: "** Illness, the toxins in her body can't be completely removed, it's been more than ten years, plus she doesn't want to say anything in her heart, and she has been depressed, so——"
Su Lingling's heart was raised to his throat.
"Her body has been eroded by the poison to the point that she is almost an empty shell, and she doesn't have many days left." Uncle Qiao sighed heavily, went out, Su Lingling followed, and asked, "Can't you get rid of poison no matter what?" ”
"It's useless to get rid of it, and her body can't be replenished." Uncle Qiao left with a word, Aunt Qiao stood aside, glanced at Su Lingling deeply, and then turned around and left.
Su Lingling returned to Yanran's room, and she thought that if Mu Qiao was really Yanran's child, then she would bring him over to see her no matter what.
Su Lingling didn't close his eyes all night, and only took a nap in the early morning when the sky was slightly bright, Uncle Qiao and Aunt Qiao had already gotten up, Su Lingling stood up, and suddenly heard the sound of a string of copper bells, very light, jingling bells, very pleasant, but inexplicably a little more lonely.
Su Lingling found this small copper bell by the window, the copper bell was painted with colorful patterns, and the line tied with the copper bell was also colorful, which looked very gorgeous.
Su Lingling glanced back at Yanran, hung the copper bell on the window, and a gust of wind blew, and the copper bell rang more cheerfully.
Yan Ran woke up in this crisp copper bell, she saw Su Lingling, struggling to sit up, Su Lingling hurriedly went to help her, pressed her back, and said, "You better lie down." ”
Yan Ran looked at her silently, Su Lingling looked at the copper bell hanging on the window and asked, "Is that what you used to do?" ”
"Well, in the past, I liked colorful things, clothes, flowers and plants."
Su Lingling only felt a pain in her heart, she thought, Yanran should have been very favored at home before, right?
Yan Ran turned her head to look at the copper bell and smiled softly: "That was given to me by him." ”
Su Lingling could guess who it was with his knees, smiled, but did not speak.
"He's probably no longer here." She withdrew her gaze and closed her eyes again.
Su Lingling finally couldn't help but ask, "Who are you?" ”
"Qingnan Villa, Mu Yanran."
