"This is?" Li Simin herself felt a little incredible, this is tears? How many years, how many years, she can't remember how long she hasn't cried, since she found out that her tears can't change anything, her father is still cold to herself, and her stepmother will teach herself more ruthlessly because of her tears, she has learned not to cry no matter what the situation, crying can't change anything, it will only make her situation worse. Over time, Li Simin even forgot how to cry and how to cry.

But at this time, the puppet full of memories was in her arms, smelling the smell of her mother's body, and hearing the bad news of her mother, she found that she could no longer control her tear ducts, and she found that she still shed tears, and the bitter thing would still flow out of her eyes.

"Mom"

Li Simin's tears were completely unstoppable. Drop by drop disobediently, drop by drop, drop by drop can no longer be controlled, as if she is venting her dissatisfaction with reality and the grievances she has suffered over the years, and then little by little brings her thoughts back to the warm life that she has forgotten.

Every tear is a chapter of memory, some are recalling the person's voice and smile, and some are recalling the dark dungeon life, and the memories are like a storm and out of control. No matter how stubborn Li Simin is, no matter how strong he is, it will not help. A trace of dusty memories began to awaken her self that had been sealed deep inside.

It was something that was abandoned by Li Simin a long time ago, the humiliation, the injuries she suffered, the pain she felt in the Li family over the years, every pain told her that she couldn't have herself, and only by sealing her true feelings in the deepest part of her heart could she bear the torture again and again. Maybe no one knows that Li Simin before the age of five was the most afraid of pain, the kind that a little injury could make her cry for a long time.

However, after so many years of abuse, she has learned to hypnotize herself, she must learn to accept the pain, and even enjoy the pain, and she must convert all the harm she has into a source of happiness, so that she can survive the torture again and again. In the end, she completely closed off her feelings, closed her thoughts, learned to be obedient, learned to take her father's words as the most basic criterion, and learned to be a slave, so that she would not collapse in such days.

This is something that she has spent ten years learning, it is the weapon she relies on to survive, and it is also the defense that she is most proud of, but this steely self-defense is now in front of Long Aotian, under the influence of a small puppet and a piece of news from ten years ago, it has all become an inferior product of sand, broken when touched, and crushed by the tears she has accumulated for many years.

Feeling that her defense was dissipating, Li Simin began to panic and began to wake up, this defense was her foundation, protecting her heart that was already riddled with holes, and she was afraid that anything would touch it. If this layer of defense is gone, in this cruel world, in this world of despair, in a world where there is no warmth and love, how should she deal with herself? How should she face all this? Even if she died, she didn't want this dam to be destroyed.

She could no longer allow the sand levee to shatter, and in fear she finally succeeded in summoning her defenses once more, and once again piling a few more sandbags on the sand levee to prevent it from spreading. In a panic, she threw the doll on the ground, as if she could just throw it away as if nothing had happened.

At this time, Li Simin's emotions are obviously still in an extremely unstable state, from a psychological point of view, Long Aotian doesn't know whether to stimulate her anymore, but he has to do it, after all, he can't let go of Li Simin now, take the puppet Mingjin to collect the troops, and then make an appointment to fight tomorrow, right?

"Why throw it away?" asked Long Aotian, and then Li Simin chose not to answer Long Aotian's words, returning to the initial silence again.

"Why don't you accept it? Why don't you dare to face your truest self, I think you should miss it very much, miss the self who can still cry and laugh, miss the soul that has been dusty for many years, and the mother who loves you, aren't these the most precious things for you? Huang Simin. Long Aotian specially called her by her previous name. Then he picked up the puppet again and put it in front of Li Simin.

Long Aotian called out the three words Huang Simin, as if she really touched something in Li Simin's heart, she heard these three words, and even her body trembled, it has been ten years, no one has called her by this name for ten years, I heard it at the moment, but it was like being pricked by a needle, she shouldn't have been so fragile originally, she couldn't and couldn't be so fragile, and now her whole body is flawed.

So she didn't want to answer any questions from Long Aotian, she didn't want to listen to Long Aotian's nonsense, she just wanted to stay here and recover quietly, but Long Aotian, who could fill her ears with magic sounds, didn't give her this opportunity at all.

"Why don't you choose to accept it, don't choose the simple and beautiful life you used to have, shouldn't it be a thousand times better than your current life? Don't you want to change the status quo? Don't you want to go back to living with your mother again?" Long Aotian said loudly with some hatred.

"Because what is fake is fake after all, it can never come true, I didn't expect the Black Tower to be so powerful, even it can be imitated. But no matter how similar this doll is, it will never be the one I was when I was a child, as if I couldn't go back to that life when I was a child, and I am not the same person I was when I was a child. And isn't my mother also gone? What can I get with these memories?" Li Simin's words almost roared.

"Self-deception, if you really don't want to go back to the past, if you can really give up these memories, then what do you do with the puppet every day? In fact, aren't you also giving yourself a hope that doesn't exist? Aren't you also fighting against this life day after day, don't you want to escape? Long Aotian retorted to Li Simin.

"Now the opportunity is in front of you, the Li family has already moved to the north when they carried out this mission, they don't care about your life or death, but at the same time, they have also let go of the shackles on you. All you have to do now is tell me what you know, and I may be able to help you get out of this situation, get out of hell, and embrace a new life. Long Aotian continued

"How do you go back? I'm the only one left now. I've lived like that for so long, and if I overturn it now, then what's the point of what I did in the first half of my life?" What Long Aotian is doing now is denying her Li Simin as a person, denying her first half of her life, she survived like this in the first half of her life, if she is told that she lived a wrong life now, let her betray her first half of her life, then what is the point of her as a person?

"How is it meaningless, the first half of your life is used to keep you alive, as long as the second half of your life is wonderful and steps out of your own way, then the first half of your life is very meaningful. Your whole life should start again today, you can no longer be the Li Simin who obeys his father's orders, you should have your own life, you should live for yourself, and you should live for her. Long Aotian said. Hearing Long Aotian say that he lived for her, Li Simin was a little dazed.

"You can actually live without one person. It's true that the doll wasn't the one you used to be when you were a kid, but it was made by the same person. Long Aotian said lightly, then looked behind him, snapped his fingers, and a figure with hazy eyes appeared in front of Li Simin. This person is Liang Ping, just now Long Aotian and Li Simin conversation, Liang Ping heard it all, at this moment she has long been crying, from their conversation, she can hear how much her daughter has been in the Li family, as a parent, the worst thing is to hear that her children are not doing well.

At this time, she finally saw it, but it made her heart even colder, because she saw that her daughter, who had been away for many years, had not grown into a slim girl, but because of hunger, malnutrition, and pressure, she had become a short, black and skinny little man, and Liang Ping couldn't hold back the tears in her eyes even more.

"Do you dare to let the rest of your life be for yourself, because she will become more exciting" Seeing people come out, Long Aotian continued.

"Simin. Liang Ping called Li Simin's name in a choked voice. Looking at her daughter, a girl with a bad fate, she has never felt the love of her parents since she was six years old, only abuse and use. As a mother, she felt like there were so many knives that kept tugging back and forth on her heart.

At this time, Li Simin looked at the person in front of her and was speechless for a while, well, in fact, what she was thinking about now was very ruined, and the biggest question in her mind now was, Auntie, who are you? How do I see that you are a little familiar? Where did you come from? Why does the voice sound a little familiar. It's no wonder that Li Simin can't recognize it, after all, Li Simin has been guilty all these years, why shouldn't Liang Ping be? The traces left by life on her body have made her unrecognizable.

It's just that when she smelled the same smell as a doll, she began to be calm, she carefully observed Liang Ping's facial features, her whole silhouette, although it has changed a lot, but I don't know why she can still see the shadow of that person from Liang Ping, and even she has determined that it is her, it is really her.

"How is this possible. Li Simin couldn't suppress his mood anymore at this time and shouted, how could this be possible, whether from his own impression or from Long Aotian's story, this person should not appear again now, but the one in front of her ...... Who is she? Why is she so different from the traces in her memory, but so familiar and intimate.

"Simin, don't you recognize me?" Liang Ping asked with some disappointment.

"Is it mother? How is this possible, but just now Long Aotian him, didn't he say that you have passed away?" Li Simin choked up and said in surprise. She always thought that her mother could only be found in her memory, but she didn't expect to appear in front of her.

"That day, Huang Junjie sent someone to intercept and kill me, and the interception was indeed quite seamless, but what he didn't know was that I had an adventure after leaving him, when I followed an expedition team through a cave and found an instantaneous talisman in it, that is, with that instantaneous talisman, I escaped incredibly in his siege, and finally I jumped into the sea with serious injuries and escaped. ”

"However, after all, I was too seriously injured in that interception, and I couldn't heal at all, and my cultivation was gone. Without cultivation, I didn't dare to appear in Linzi, let alone in front of Huang Junjie and his wife. At that time, I had no money and no ability, I lost all my support, and even life was unsustainable, I worked as a servant, a maid, a laundryman, in order to survive, I was willing to do anything, maybe it was God's mercy, two years ago by chance, I was fortunate to help the director of a college, he saw that I was pitiful, so he arranged a job for me, and since then I have been working in the novice department store of the college, until now. Liang Ping said a little self-deprecatingly, she used to be a proud girl of the sky, a cultivator who was envied by many people, but at this time, she was so embarrassed that she didn't even accept her cultivation, she should be an out-and-out loser.

Look at your daughter again, if she wasn't so useless, why would her daughter be so good today, everything was because of her. As a mother, at this time, she only hated that she couldn't suffer for her daughter, and only hated how that man could have such a vicious heart.

In fact, Liang Ping has been thinking about accumulating her contacts in the academy, hiring a master to kill back, and helping her regain her daughter by herself, but an aunt in a department store in a novice district who has not cultivated and has passed away in her youth, who can she recognize? What kind of money can she make? So things have not progressed until she saw the news yesterday.

After "Mom" confirmed her identity, Li Simin couldn't help it anymore, although she was separated by the railing, she still opened her hands to her mother, and Liang Ping saw this, and walked forward step by step in disbelief. This hug was ten years late, this warmth, and this love were ten years late, but they finally hugged each other. The promise to take her away, the mother did not break her promise in the end, but was just late.

Seeing the scene in front of him, although he didn't want to admit it, Long Aotian's eyes were indeed a little pantothenic. Why is the black prison so spotless? Why is the wind and sand so big all of a sudden?

Seeing Li Simin and Liang Ping hugging and crying, Long Aotian knew that this Li Simin had finally been done, and it should be the time for other mothers and daughters next, and he should no longer disturb other people's mothers and daughters here, so Long Aotian automatically and consciously retreated outside.

Of course, the space here had already been closely monitored by the Black Tower's side when Long Aotian came in, and there would definitely be no accidents. Even Long Aotian felt that the surveillance here was so developed, and the performance between him and Li Simin was likely to be watched by a bastard surnamed Song with God's vision, and when he thought of the person surnamed Song, Long Aotian had an urge to hit someone.

After waiting for about half an hour, Long Aotian walked to the vicinity of Li Simin's cell, and at this time, Li Simin and Liang Ping had already sat down, snuggling up to each other and whispering across the railing. Long Aotian saw Li Simin's eyes, those originally empty eyes were slowly recovering her original brilliance, Long Aotian felt for the first time that Li Simin's crimson eyes could still be so smart and lively.

Walking to the side of Li Simin's mother and daughter, Long Aotian coughed and said, "Ahem...... I hope I didn't disturb your mother-daughter reunion. Li Simin's mother and daughter both stopped, looking at Long Aotian, okay, he really bothered, but these are not the point, did they forget a very important thing?

"Hey~~~ Although I don't think I understand the atmosphere when I speak now, you have to know that time is pressing, let's not come in and chat casually, let Li Simin be a person again, and just wash it white and clean from now on" Long Aotian said helplessly.

"The point now is that Li Simin's crime is really serious, if this matter is not handled well, your mother and daughter may only be able to see the paintings on the wall in Qingming Chongyang from now on. Of course, if you know how to summon spirits and dream of these traditional cultures, I didn't say it. But if you want to get back together under normal circumstances and live the legendary happy life, then you have to work harder, do you understand?" Long Aotian felt that they must have forgotten the point of today.

"I know what you're asking for, what you want is some Imperial intelligence, right? But maybe I'm going to disappoint you, I really don't know much. Saying this, Li Simin looked at Long Aotian with some embarrassment, but Long Aotian nodded

"Let's say it more or less, I've been in contact with the spies of the academy for so long, and I've been in the Li family for so long, it's impossible not to gain anything at all. ”

"It's really not, I can only contact my boss in the academy, as for him, everyone has been arrested by you, as for the other hand, you should know what my situation is in the Li family, and I am not qualified to contact confidential things in the Li family. But I think you'll be able to check out the Duli family, especially the Governor Li Yuanai. Li Simin said lightly, the tone of these words made Long Aotian listen to it comfortably, you see, this is the tone of communication with normal people, this is like a normal person, a normal person is high. Although I don't expect Li Simin to spit out anything useful, it's good to have something out...... Oh, no, wait, she seems to have said something amazing.

"Huaidu? I remember that the city is on the border line of the Southern Alliance, and it is just a bit different from the empire, a buffer forest in the middle, right?" Long Aotian looked at Li Simin in surprise, this is definitely high-level intelligence, a spy who has been active on the border line all year round, and he is the governor, it is unimaginable that something will really happen.

"Well, yes, it's them, Li Xiaoyu had a secret meeting with a man in black about a year ago to discuss moving to the empire, and that man in black was Li Yuanai's henchman, in order to hide people's eyes, they had a secret meeting in the basement, but what she didn't know was that she and Huang Junjie's youngest daughter Li Shujie were in a bad mood that day, and suddenly looked at me unpleasantly and locked me in the basement, so I heard their words. Li Simin said, thinking of the situation that day, she also felt that it was a fluke. If Li Xiaoyu had found out that she was also in the basement that day, I am afraid that she would have died a long time ago, and Li Simin had been worried about this for half a year. There is another thing that her father doesn't know, that is, Li Xiaoyu and the man in black are not just chatting in the basement, Huang Junjie's head is a prairie.

Long Aotian thought about it, it was really retribution, the people of the Li family didn't give Li Simin human rights at all, and even the youngest daughter beat and scolded Li Simin at will, and then retribution came. Long Aotian decided to ask Song Wenqing later, and help 'accidentally' reveal the information he got from Li Simin when he pulled out Li Yuanai, if it succeeded, it would be fun, such an important chess piece was destroyed in the hands of the Li family, and the Li family's life in the empire would probably be very difficult.

"Well, if you confess, I will report to the Black Tower truthfully, and I will also help you intercede, rest assured that you will definitely survive" Long Aotian said, although the decision on this matter is ultimately in Song Wenqing's hands, but if Long Aotian can't guess what Song Wenqing wants at this moment, then he really has a problem with his head.

Although it is a matter of life and death, Li Simin at this moment, her mood is unexpectedly calm, she knows that the rest of the things are no longer her turn, but she has found her soul and mother, it is very good for her to be able to find herself before she dies, at least in the past ten years, just half an hour has been her happiest time. So now she wants nothing more.

"Thank you, right. From today onwards, please don't call me Li Simin, from now on my surname is Liang, my name is Liang Simin. Liang Simin said with a smile, although she changed her surname a total of three times, this is the one she is most satisfied with. And from now on, she will never change again. Long Aotian looked at Liang Simin's satisfied smile, and suddenly he found that Liang Simin's smile was no longer infiltrating, but like a beautiful picture.
