Chapter 66: Grave Keeper II
The old lady brought back from the tunnel was locked in a small house at the end of the verandah, and Jin Qiu and the others carefully chose a remote place. Because there was another autumn rain last night, the ground was still wet, and the air was humid and cold, Zhang Erzhen wrapped her thick soft hair scarf tightly, and walked forward slowly while being carried by Jin Qiu, while feeling that it was really an autumn rain and a cold, seeing that it was getting colder every day, and this year was almost over.
After walking for a while, the body gradually stretched out, Zhang Erzhen didn't want Jin Qiu to hold him, his pace quickened, and the three of them arrived at the end of the verandah. Before I pushed the door open, I heard the mocking voice of the old lady inside: "What do you want to do with the old woman who is so sleepy, the old woman has no money and no power, and she is so imprisoned, it is troublesome to give me food and drink...... Besides, the old woman has been missing for so long, if someone finds her, won't you be in trouble......"
Xiangxiu, who couldn't speak, naturally wouldn't answer the old mama's words, and the old mama continued to mumble: "...... It's all because the old woman is careless, so that you can get this dumb hand, strange, it seems that you don't have that much strength...... Seeing that the old woman is not in good health, he can still drag the old woman out. Alas, the old woman is blessed with a great life and did not die, you did not kill me, I should also thank you, why don't we exchange it, those things you took away, the old woman will not ask for it, you let me go, let's say goodbye...... By the way, you can't speak, and the wife is talking here all day long, and you don't get too annoyed and panicked. The old woman has been here for so long, and I am very happy to be able to say a few words to you like this...... In the past, who was willing to listen to the old woman......"
Zhang Erzhen's hand that originally wanted to push the door in hesitated, stood at the door and waited for the old lady to continue: "...... The old woman must have been guarding this high wall longer than you, guess how long I've been here? 10 years, 20 years? Hehe, the old woman herself has been here for 50 years. Fifty years, fifty years...... Originally, there were no people here, the mountains here are high and the emperor is far away, and the emperor will not want to come here, but anyone who is a prince and nobleman will not come here. The old woman is also very comfortable, after so many years, she doesn't have to worry about eating and drinking, and she doesn't have to do much work...... , But since the emperor ascended the throne today, it has become lively here, if you want me to say, the emperor is infatuated today, such as who doesn't know today? The old woman has been guarding the mausoleum here for so many years, but she doesn't have any ideas in her heart, people are old and see it, what glory and wealth are not important, what we want to live for a lifetime, is it not popular, the old woman has no children and no daughters all her life, and I don't know who I can give to those gold, silver and jewelry every day, the last time I saw that there was a box missing in the crystal coffin, the old woman was happy, those dead things are gone, and the royal people can still lack so many things? You let go of the old woman, the old woman goes back, and you will never talk about these things, although the old woman is alive and well, she doesn't want to die......"
"Squeak-" Zhang Erzhen pushed the door in, and the old woman's voice stopped abruptly.
The one who entered the door was a very tightly wrapped young girl, with a delicate and lovely face, handsome eyebrows, and a delicate and slender figure, but she looked a little weak, and a girl supported her. The old lady looked at Zhang Erzhen, and Zhang Erzhen also looked at this old woman with gorgeous hair but good spirits, and her head was still wrapped in white gauze, "I don't know what to call you?"
The old lady squinted her eyes and looked at it for a while and said with a smile: "I heard a while ago that a young man came in, and the old woman has never had a chance to meet him, but now I see it, it's you." The true sign of birth, the old woman has never seen such a beautiful girl in all these years, I don't know which princess or county lord you are, what happened to be imprisoned?"
Zhang Erzhen sat on the chair on the side of the old grandmother, let her look at it, and then untied the tight scarf around her neck and smiled, "Now that you are in my hands, whether it is life or death is not a matter of my words, so you, don't beat around the bush, tell me, who are you? Can be stationed on the high wall for so many years, it shouldn't be an unknown little person, right?"
"You girl doesn't look very clever, but she has a lot of eyes. No matter how clumsy the old woman is, she can tell who the royal person is," the old grandmother Ni glanced at Xiangxiu, and then at Zhang Erzhen, "You don't look like a royal girl, could it be that you are a concubine who made a mistake?" ”
"Let me guess, you're probably not an ordinary old lady, could it be that which old man's sweetheart?" Zhang Erzhen was very satisfied to see the old woman's eyes glaring at her, and then heard the old lady's angry roar: "You! You dead girl don't want to talk nonsense, the old woman was also a beauty who was shy of flowers and closed the moon when she was young, how do you look at those pickles!" The old woman is not afraid to tell you, I have served the first emperor, and I have also seen the most glorious time of today's saint, and I was arranged by the saint to guard here, if the old woman dies, see if you can still live. Let go of the old woman, save yourself trouble. ”
"What the old lady said, if I want your life, how can I wait until today. It's just that I'm young, I'm too playful, I found something I shouldn't have discovered, and I have a mind that shouldn't be......" Zhang Erzhen looked at the old lady with a smile, and the old lady said vigilantly: "What do you want to do, little girl, you also take a lot of things there, people can't be too greedy." ”
"Naturally, money is something outside the body, I don't want to spend so much......, don't I? I've been here for a few days, and I don't have any other ideas, so I want to go out for a walk. Zhang Erzhen looked at the old grandmother with a smile, and changed her posture to look at the old grandmother.
The old lady straightened her waist and said disdainfully: "Call me Mama You, just an old mama, the old woman is only sixty-five this year, and she is not so old." ...... And also...... You have to ask for someone, you have to have an attitude, you don't see my ......" Mama You looked at her hands that were still tied very dissatisfied, and motioned to Zhang Erzhen to quickly untie herself.
Zhang Erzhen sneered and said: "Mama You didn't figure it out, you take me out, I'll let you go, fair trade, do you say okay?"
"What are you going out for, you can't play anywhere, this city is so big, you are enough for this size. Don't you know that the prisoners who come in the high wall can't just go out, the old woman gets you out, if you run away, the reputation of the old woman and her whole life will be ruined on you, it's not appropriate? Mama You shook her head with round eyes.
“...... It's okay if I don't go out, but Mama You, you will be aggrieved and continue to stay in the small courtyard. Think about it, Mama You hasn't been back for so long, will anyone look for you?"
The old woman was knocked unconscious by you for a while, and my little grandsons were naturally anxious to find me, and it was only a matter of time before they found here, and when the time came, you were afraid that none of you would be able to escape. ”
Zhang Erzhen smiled very kindly: "I want to meet your grandchildren, grandma, she is hard-mouthed, there will always be a grandson who is soft-hearted." When the time comes...... When the time comes......" Zhang Erzhen suddenly wiped her tears, which shocked several people in the room, Zhang Erzhen looked at Mama You with red eyes, and choked up: "...... I'm going to beg for it, this little thing shouldn't be a trivial matter for you?Mama...... Don't you think we have fate, look here, you look at me again, I'm only fifteen years old, I have to guard this high wall for a lifetime, I feel bitter, but I have no other way, I can meet Mama you today, is God also pity me, so that Mama coincidentally met me, Amitabha, God opened his eyes, can meet my birthday wishes...... Now when I see you Mama You, it's like seeing me fifty years later, after all, I'm not as good as you...... Hey, I just want to go out and have a look, and I'll be back soon......"
Birthday...... Wish...... , Golden Autumn and Silver Autumn remember that the birth date of the side concubine is in winter......
"Don't fool the old woman, alas...... , knowing that you are pitiful, what you want to eat and want, you let go of the old woman, and the old woman will take care of it for you. "Mama You has no children and no daughters in her life, and the most loved and painful ones are those eunuch grandchildren, and now such a handsome girl is crying so sadly in front of her, knowing that it is more likely to be fake, she still can't bear it in her heart, and she is old - that is, she is soft-hearted, "Here, others don't have such treatment." ”
Zhang Erzhen saw that her attitude softened, and continued to look at Mama You with a pair of big watery eyes full of hope, "I don't want anything else, I just want to go out and have a look......"
Mama You didn't look at Zhang Erzhen's big eyes, and sighed for a while before she said, "It's okay, since it's planted in your hands, you have to show some sincerity." Mama You glanced at a few girls on the side and the mute who was watching her every day with dissatisfaction, she was very vindictive, "An hour, you are alone, change the wife and son, and change it if you think it is worth it, if it is not worth it, the old woman has lived enough, and she can die here." ”
Zhang Erzhen was a little surprised, she didn't expect that this Mama You really had the ability to take her out, but she didn't show it on her face, her brows were furrowed, and her fingertips made a "da-da" sound on the table, and she said with tears in her eyes for a long time: "...... How can I believe you? Will I be arrested as soon as I go out, after all, I am a weak woman who has no power to tie the chicken, and it is not good for me to go out alone, Mama, I want to take someone out, how about it?"
Mama You expressed her dissatisfaction with Zhang Erzhen's inches, and she glared at Zhang Erzhen fiercely: "You cunning girl, it's a great thing to take you out for an hour, and I'm not satisfied......! She has been treating me well these days, and the old woman thinks that this girl is kind-hearted, and she is pitiful here, so go out and have a look. Mama You pointed to Xiangxiu next to her and said to Zhang Erzhen: "Don't worry, she treats the old woman well, and the old woman will not take revenge." ”
Jin Qiu on the side slandered in his heart: Isn't it Xiangxiu who knocked you unconscious, so you can be ruthless at once......
