Chapter XVIII
"Here we are. Xiao Yi pushed Xuan'er, who was sleeping.
"Huh?" Xuan'er rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked at Xiao Yi a little blankly. It's not good, it's too easy to slept on your stomach, embarrassing! Xuan'er quickly wiped the saliva from her mouth and looked to the side with some embarrassment.
"Take it. Xiao Yi took out a handkerchief from his clothes and handed it to Xuan'er.
"Thank you, young master. Xuan'er took the handkerchief in Xiao Yi's hand and followed him out of the carriage.
At this time, the weather was in the cold winter, even in Suzhou, it was rainy, all the leaves were scattered, and Xuan'er and Xiaoyi walked on it rustling. Xuan'er followed Xiao Yi closely, after all, in this deep mountain, there is no popularity, it is strange and scary.
After walking for a while, Xuan'er found that there was a lonely grave in front of her, there was no tombstone on it, and there was a small slope lying alone, presumably this was what Young Master Yi was looking for.
That's right, the hero of the story that Xiao Yi told Linglong was his mother, and he was the child who survived. At that time, the peasant woman originally planned to adopt Xiao Yi, after all, his mother was beaten to death, and the peasant woman's son had an unshirkable responsibility.
Out of guilt, the peasant woman also wanted to raise him. But God did not obey people's wishes, and when Xiao Yi was three years old, the son of a peasant woman married a wife. Mei Jiaoniang crossed the door, of course, and walked sideways, seeing that Xiao Yi was looking left and right unpleasantly, even if Xiao Yi had never made her angry.
After some time, Xiao Yi is also getting thinner and thinner, even if the peasant woman has the heart to take care of Xiao Yi, she doesn't dare to do anything without a word from her daughter-in-law. The peasant woman saw Xiao Yi like this, worried that he would be starved to death, and there was no last meal, and the meal was always rancid. In this case, Xiao Yi didn't say anything, his attitude was surprisingly calm, not like a child at all.
Later, when Xiao Yi was just over five years old, the peasant woman's daughter-in-law sold Xiao Yi to a carpenter and asked him to go to apprenticeship. The peasant woman also thinks it is good, at least she doesn't have to be tortured in this house anymore. Besides, he is not the only apprentice, and the law of survival in this world is the law of survival of the jungle.
Xiao Yi has never asked why others have fathers and mothers, but he doesn't, why other people's children are held in the palm of his hand and cared for, but he has to do a lot of things, while being an apprentice, he has to be bullied by children older than himself. But Xiao Yi never said a word of bitterness or tiredness.
When Xiao Yi was eight years old, the peasant woman unfortunately passed away, leaving Xiao Yi with a letter that told the origin of Xiao Yi, but concealed what her son had done. How could a mother not protect her children? Xiao Yi also knew that his mother would not escape, but it was only a matter of time. At that time, that incident caused a sensation in that place, and even after many years, Xiao Yi knew the reason for the incident by casually inquiring.
I heard that my mother's body was thrown to this place, and I didn't even want to cover it with a rag, thinking that it was a shame for them. Xiao Yi, who was only eight years old, found this place in the direction that passers-by said, but it was too old to find his mother's wreckage. So Xiao Yi found a plane tree under it, and built a slope as large as a grave with his hands, as a place to find a place for his mother.
"Just wait for me right here. Xiao Yi handed the oil-paper umbrella in his hand to Xuan'er, afraid that the oil-paper umbrella would cover his face, and his mother would not recognize him.
"Yes, young master, you can take this cloak. Xuan'er untied her cloak from herself.
"No, you can put on your clothes, and you are not allowed to come near without my permission. Xiao Yi looked coldly at Xuan'er's cold red hands.
"Okay. He stepped aside, looked for a big tree, and watched Xiao Yi drift away from him.
Xiao Yi took three steps and made two steps, and walked quickly towards the dirt slope. When he was about to reach the dirt slope, he slowed down and walked gently to the grave, as if he was afraid of waking up the owner who was sleeping inside.
"Mother, I've come to see you. Xiao Yi knelt on the ground and said softly, not afraid that his clothes would be wet and stained by the dirt on the ground.
"Mother, I miss you so much! It's been ten years, forgive my son for not coming to see you, I'm sorry!" Although the man doesn't flick when he has tears, he doesn't care about anything when he is in love. I saw Xiao Yi with a hot tear and slammed it on the ground, and the silent sorrow was like this.
"Mother, this time, I will definitely let those who hurt you pay for the blood debt, this time, I will no longer be afraid of them! Let those people get their due retribution, mother, rest assured, I will not hurt the innocent. Xiao Yi clenched his hand into a fist and slammed it on the stone next to him, the back of his hand was immediately worn out of the skin, and the blood slowly dripped on the ground along the direction of his fingers, disappearing in an instant.
Xiao Yi still hated, hated that he was incapable of clearing his mother's grievances as soon as possible, hated that he was living alone in this world, leaving his mother alone in this cold place, so lonely, hating himself for not finding out the truth about his mother's abduction earlier, and flattering the old fox for so many years.
"Mother, I have found out the whole story, that old fox, hidden for so many years, hehe, I am really blind! But mother, don't worry, after the matter is dealt with here, I will go back and expose the true face of that old fox in front of everyone. Let everyone see what kind of person she is!" Xiao Yi frowned, his eyes were like torches, and he saw that his hand was dripping blood, and there was no pain or movement.
"By the way, mother, you must hope that your son can be happy!" Xiao Yi's face showed a rare flush, which was something that no one had ever seen, like a young man who had just been emotional.
"My son did something wrong, but my son hopes to make amends, and when he gets married in the future, he will definitely bring her to see you. The son believes that the girl I like must also be liked by my mother. I saw Xiao Yi gently pinch a handful of soil, and then kissed it lightly, as if he was kissing his dearest and beloved.
"Mother, I'll leave first today, wait for two days, my son will come to see you again, and I'll stay with you for a longer time. Xiao Yi waved his hand lightly and said goodbye to the 'person' in front of him.
All these moves were clearly seen by Xuan'er not far away, although Xuan'er couldn't hear what Xiao Yi was saying, but she could see that this deceased person must be Xiao Yi's most important person.
After Xiao Yi finished speaking, he stood up, and walked towards Xuan'er without patting the dirt on his body or brushing the rain from the tips of his hair...
