After searching for a day, the body was still not found.

Out of the mountains and forests, Qingshu got into the carriage with Mrs. Gu, and she lowered her voice and said, "Grandma, we have to find Grandpa Ah Zhong quickly." ”

Old Lady Gu hummed and said to Qingshu: "You don't have to worry about this, we can see him when we return to Fucheng." ”

Qingshu was stunned for a moment and asked, "Grandma, do you know where Grandpa Ah Zhong is?" ”

Old Lady Gu nodded and said, "The Gu family has a few mansions in Fucheng, and your grandfather Ah Zhong has taken your mother to those places." ”

Old Mrs. Gu guessed that the reason why Ah Zhong didn't show up should be waiting for her.

Qingshu breathed a sigh of relief, and then felt a little weird, did Grandpa Ah Zhong believe in her too much?

Mrs. Qi was a little relieved when she saw that although Old Lady Gu looked tired but her expression was quite calm.

During dinner, Mrs. Qi said tentatively: "Sanniang, it's so dangerous in the mountains, let Wangming go to find Xiaoxian!" Let's go back to Fucheng first, and wait for news in Fucheng as well. ”

After hesitating for a long time, Old Lady Gu nodded and said, "It's okay, let's go back to Fucheng tomorrow." ”

Seeing that Old Lady Gu took Qingshu to rest, Mrs. Qi called Qi Wangming and asked, "What happened to enter the mountain today?" ”

I always felt that Mrs. Gu's attitude was a little abnormal, but I couldn't say it.

Qi Wangming said that he deceived the old lady Gu: "Mother, I was also afraid that my aunt would not be able to stand this blow, so I told her like this." ”

She said that Sanniang's reaction was a little wrong, so it turned out: "Maybe someone really saved Xiaoxian, it's not for sure." ”

Qi Wangming shook his head and said, "Mother, this possibility is very small. Mother, I suspect that the corpse was taken away and hidden by the beast, otherwise it would not have been possible to find even the bones. ”

Mrs. Qi actually had this guess: "Fortunately, Qingshu is fine, otherwise your aunt would definitely have to fall." ”

With Sanniang's shrewdness, how could she not know that her son was coaxing her. It's just that the parents of the world pity the hearts of the world, Sanniang would rather believe that the hunter who doesn't exist at all than believe that Xiaoxian has encountered an accident and the bones are gone.

Qi Wangming thought for a while and said, "Mother, or we will offer a heavy reward." In this way, more people will go into the mountains to look for it. ”

Mrs. Qi shook her head and said, "There will indeed be many people who will go into the mountains to help find people, but it is very dangerous for so many fierce beasts in the mountains and forests to enter the mountains. If someone goes into the mountain alone for a bounty and has an accident, it is not our sin. ”

"Mother, what do you say?"

Mrs. Qi said: "You continue to organize people to go into the mountains to search, and your aunt and I will go back to the city first to wait for news." ”

Qi Wangming hesitated a little and said, "Mother, do you want to discuss this matter with your aunt?" ”

Mrs. Qi waved her hand and said, "Don't ask your aunt, if you offer a heavy reward, it will do her all kinds of harm and no benefit." ”

The Gu family's big house has no heirs, and if a reward notice is posted, it may attract those with ill intentions to covet it. This orphan and widow cannot be prevented.

Mrs. Qi really treats Mrs. Gu as her own sister, so everything is for her sake.

Old Lady Gu went back to the house with Qing Shu and said to Han Shan: "Girl, please go back, we don't need anyone to keep vigil." ”

Han Xiang saw that Mrs. Gu insisted, so she went out.

It didn't take long for the people in the yard to rest, and the grandfather and grandson only heard the sound of insects chirping in the house.

Old Lady Gu said in the voice of only two people: "Qingshu, can you tell Grandma what happened now?" Why do you want people to think that your mother has been in an accident? ”

Qingshu was silent for a long time and said, "Grandma, I had a dream, a very strange and weird dream. ”

Old Lady Gu didn't speak, just looked at her quietly.

Qingshu said softly: "I dreamed that my mother had a difficult birth, and she gave birth in Peach Blossom Village before she returned to the county. The midwife in Peach Blossom Village is not good at craftsmanship, and the last corpse has two lives. Grandma, you died because you couldn't bear this blow. And I couldn't stand the successive blows and fell seriously ill, and after I got better, I forgot all about people and things. Then I also became the little maid of the Lin family, doing laundry and cooking, and I didn't stop for a moment from morning to night. ”

Old Lady Gu's face changed greatly: "What about your father?" Your dad doesn't care about you anymore? ”

Qingshu shook his head and said: "My father passed the Jinshi examination, married the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion and the aunt Cui Xueying who left home, and forgot me completely. When the lobby sister saw that he didn't take me to the capital, she ridiculed me in various ways, saying that the Gu family was a broken family, and that my mother confused my father by virtue of her appearance and married into the Lin family. I don't remember what happened before, and the people of the Lin family don't refute her words, and I have been locked up in the Lin family since I woke up and have not been in contact with anyone outside, so I believed what she said. ”

Old Lady Gu hurriedly asked, "What about Gu Heping and your second grandfather?" Didn't they come to see you?

Qingshu shook his head and said, "No, no one has come to see me. When I was 14 years old, Lin Chengyu sent someone to pick me up and my grandmother in Beijing. ”

Old Lady Gu hugged Qingshu and said, "Qingshu, this is just a dream, don't take it to heart." ”

Qingshu shook his head and said, "In the Lin family, the lobby sister ridiculed me for being a wild child that my father didn't want. When I arrived in the capital, Cui Xueying's daughter Du Shiya also mocked me every day, saying that I was a village aunt and scolded me for being a fat girl and a fat girl. I told my dad that not only did he not believe me, but he also angrily scolded me. ”

"And then?"

Qingshu didn't really want to think about those things. Even in the past so many years, every time I think about her, I feel so uncomfortable: "In the third year of my arrival in the capital, Cui Xueying took me out to hand over, and then someone came to ask for marriage, but my father and Cui pushed it." When I was seventeen years old, they gave me to Cui Jianbai, the second son of the Marquis of Zhongyong. That Cui Jianbai has a sweetheart, but unfortunately the other party doesn't look down on him for marrying Zaifu's second son. Cui Jianbai was so sad that he went on a hunger strike for three days and three nights, and said that he would not marry for the rest of the woman's life. ”

You don't have to ask to know that Lin Chengyu will definitely have a bad time marrying Qingshu to the person surnamed Cui.

Although it was just a dream, Mrs. Gu was still very sad when she heard it, but he still said, "Qingshu, it's just a dream." ”

Qingshu shook his head and said, "It's a dream for my grandmother, but for me, it's like a lifetime. After I married into the Cui family, Cui Jianbai didn't give me a good face......"

Seeing Qingshu's painful face, Mrs. Gu's heart sank: "Qingshu, that's just a dream, you can't take it seriously." ”

Qingshu didn't listen to him, but continued: "Grandma, I know you won't believe it, but that dream really made me feel like I was born through it. That kind of grief and despair, I can't bear it when I think about it. Grandma, I dreamed there that I lived to be twenty-seven years old. When I opened my eyes and saw my grandmother, who was more than 20 years younger, and my third aunt, who had hanged herself, I didn't know if I was in a dream or in reality. So, I was shocked and scared to see myself in the mirror, and my grandmother happened to see it. She thought that I was possessed by demons, so she asked the fairy girl to do it. ”

I see, she wondered how the old woman suspected that Qingshu was possessed by demons, so it was.
