Chapter 10: There Is a Difference Between Life and Death
Perhaps, many things in this world are originally a drawn circle, such as morning and sunset, such as life and death.
After Tang Zhe's father was buried, Tang Zhe kept himself locked in the house and refused to come out, Su Yu went over, stood outside against the door and stood quietly for a long time, feeling that any words of persuasion were just outsiders' painless politeness.
After a long time, Su Yu reached out and knocked on the door, and did not say that he would let Tang Fold open the door and let her in, but only said in a low voice: "Xiao Fold, when you are resting, we will go to find Uncle Tang's murderer and avenge him." ”
Tang Zhen in the house didn't respond to her, and Su Yu heard a muffled and extremely suppressed cry from inside through the door and window.
Su Yu knew in his heart that life and death would be goodbye, who would not cry.
Standing at the door of Tang Zhe, listening to the crying in the house gradually stopping, Su Yu moved his steps and turned to leave. After Tang Zhe's father was buried, his mother seemed to have slowly come back to her senses, accepted the fact that he had left, and pulled Su Yu beside her to say a lot of considerate words, saying that when she went out in the future, she asked her to take care of herself and take care of Xiao Zhe, and told her to grow more in the love of her children, not to be single-minded, and to dig out her heart like making friends, and the most she said was to remember Tang Zhe's father's goodness.
Mother said that Uncle Tang in this life, only thinking about her as a woman, this life is not a good fate, failed to become a husband and wife, if the next life is peaceful and prosperous, they must be men and women weaving, plain life.
Su Yu knew that in fact, in the heart of the mother, the most important person was Tang Zhe's father, and vaguely heard Mr. mention the past slightly, when the mother's brother deceived the mother and said that her future husband was Uncle Tang, so on the day of marriage, the mother covered her bright red hijab, happily got on the sedan chair, held the red silk in the hand of the groom, and worshiped the world according to the etiquette.
She cried and resisted, but the strength of a woman seemed too weak and blind, a woman with a good dream in her heart, her heart was ravaged by reality, and her body was full of scars.
What happened later, Su Yu didn't know much, she only knew that her biological father might be dead, and Tang Zhe's father, due to changes, had to live in seclusion with several masters in this Qingyunling, before leaving, brought her mother who was living in dire straits, the two of them were not together in the first half of their lives, and they took care of each other in the second half of their lives.
Su Yu knows that in fact, in her heart, although her mother loves her, she hates her father, and she does not have a loving husband and wife, the kind of love that is poured into the child that contains each other, but it doesn't matter, Su Yu feels that as long as her mother is good, it is better than anything.
After going to the kitchen for a long time, Su Yu found out some remaining rice from the messy kitchen, made a fire and added firewood to boil some clear porridge, and simply fried a handful of green vegetables, sent some to Tang Zhe, and when he came back, he got up and walked towards his mother's room.
When he arrived at the door, Su Yu held the food in both hands, did not knock on the door, and pushed the door directly in.
"Mother, I boiled some porridge, come and eat......"
Su Yu closed the door and turned around, before he finished speaking, when he saw the scene in front of him, his hand shook, and he knocked over the food in his hand on the ground, wanting to scream loudly, but his throat seemed to be contained by great sadness, and he couldn't shout.
The picture in front of him made Su Yu feel that the whole person had fallen into the most terrible nightmare, surrounded by winding blood, his mother fell in a pool of blood, her plain dress was stained with a large area of dark red, and the whole person was already quiet like a flower that had bloomed, her body fell into the mud, and her soul was far away from the world.
Su Yu only felt that her head was confused, her legs were weak, and she trembled and approached step by step, seeing that her mother was still holding the sword, the wound on her neck was still bleeding, and the corners of her lips had a trace of indescribable smile, as if she had been lonely for a lifetime, and she had finally been relieved.
Rushing over like crazy, Su Yu tightly covered her mother's wound with her hand, wanting to stop the blood from flowing out of her body, as if in that case, her mother would still have a glimmer of life, but she covered it hard, calling, and still felt that the blood under her hand and her mother's body were a little cold to the bone.
Su Yu felt that maybe she was too incompetent to keep it, but her mother still left, trying to find the man she loved the most. Su Yu also hopes that if there is an afterlife, they will be a happy couple without twists and turns.
A handful of loess buried in this life, and everything has disappeared.
Su Yu stood under the old elm tree in the yard, thinking that she, like Tang Zhe, had become an orphan without parents.
After experiencing so much, the people in the village were scattered, and those who stayed behind were still too busy to take care of themselves, and after helping to bury Su Yu's mother, everyone comforted her a few words, and no one paid attention to her anymore.
Su Yu consciously felt okay, but he felt empty in his heart and a little out of support.
The little junior sister Yiyi is a careful person, and she often comes to see Su Yu from time to time, and when she sees her standing alone again, she stepped forward and said: "Sister Yu, everything is arranged, you still listen to my advice, go out and hide, those officers and soldiers will come to check every two days, I estimate that it will be coming soon, you should take Brother Xiaozhi with you." ”
Su Yu came back to his senses, looked at Yiyi, squeezed out a wry smile, thanked him, went over what Yiyi said in his head, turned around and asked, "What about Xiaozhi?" It seems that I haven't seen him all this time. ”
Yiyi also thought for a while, "Indeed, I have been taking care of Aunt Su's affairs, and I really don't see Brother Xiao Zhe." ”
When Su Yu heard this, he turned his eyes and thought about it, and ran quickly towards Tang Zhe's residence.
Tang Zhe's door had been closed like a few nights before, Su Yu stretched out his hand and knocked twice, but the room was still silent, and no movement was heard.
As soon as he raised his legs, Su Yu kicked the door and entered, the room was not locked, only quietly, and Tang Zhe was not seen anywhere.
Yiyi followed in and called twice, but still no one responded.
"It's so strange, where did Brother Xiao Zhe go?"
Su Yu calmed down and thought about it, indeed, from the time her mother killed herself to the time she was buried, she really never saw Tang Zhe again, and she was indulged in grief and never took care of him, according to their relationship, if such a thing happened, Xiao Zhe could not ignore it.
Unless, unbeknownst to him, he had already left the stockade.
Walking quickly to the bed, Su Yu reached out and lifted the pillow that Tang Zhe loved to hide, it was empty underneath, and the short sword that Tang Zhe was used to had disappeared without a trace along with his people.
