Chapter 17: The Nurse's Letter

She lay on the shore on a bay.

Seven or eight steps ahead was the sea, five or six steps back was the grass, and on one side, there were planks floating with herβ€”the main ship had been hit yesterday, and many pieces of wood had inevitably fallen off.

Several of the planks ran aground on the shore and piled up like a small mound of earth, and by chance, there were people under the planks.

The cough sounds indicate a woman.

There was a hunch that she knew the people under the planks.

Roll over and tiptoe past.

A distance of about ten paces, along the way, there was no movement on the opposite side.

Suddenly.

The plank moved.

She was so shocked that she jumped on the spot!

"Why am I nervous?"

"Ahemβ€”"

He coughed twice, cleared his throat again, and strode towards the plank pile.

Closer.

Kick open the top two planks.

The girl under the plank quickly squinted.

When I saw the people below, I was relieved...... She thought it was a bell for jumping into the river.

Lying in the pile of planks is fragrant grass.

Fangcao was holding a wooden board tightly in her arms, her hands and legs were holding the board tightly, her fingers were white, it seemed that she was dizzy and awake, and her hands never let go.

"Fangcao, get up, lie down again, it's time to hang!"

When the clothes were twisted and twisted, when I looked back, Fangcao still looked confused.

It seems that the face is written with three questions of rebirth:

Who am I?

Where am I?

Which dynasty is it now?

"Hey, what's your name?"

Fangcao was stunned and replied: "Fangcao." ”

"That's good."

He put his clothes back on, checked the contents of his backpack, and said to Fangcao, "Do you remember what happened yesterday?" Whether it's a bandit or an assassin, anyway, we can't go back, because the people of the three boats are all hanging, and we can't say it so absolutely, nine times out of ten, the corpses sink into the sea, and the rest of the people, such as you, and me, we have to look forward...... All in all, I'm leaving, are you leaving? ”

Yerba finally came to her senses and immediately stood up, still holding the plank in her hand.

"Thrown." Take a look at the planks.

Yerba threw the plank.

"Undress, wring it out, and fix your hair."

The herbs did the same.

When she was undressing, she turned her back and turned her elbows as if she was picking something out.

After a while, Fangcao took out a small cloth bag from the front of her underwear, and when she did this, she looked back several times.

"What's that?"

Yerba Cao's hand shook.

"Bring it to me."

"I didn't ...... It's nothing. Yerba pressed the cloth bag under her thigh.

"Do you want me to pick it up myself?"

"I ...... The slave and the maid will look at it...... There is no wetness. ”

Fangcao swallowed like this, but it aroused her interest.

Get up and walk up to her and stretch out your hand: "Hurry up." ”

Fangcao pouted, her eyes were red, and she raised her hands, in which was an ordinary cloth bag, which looked like a sachet.

She went to get it.

Ran goose.

The herb tugged tightly.

"Fang...... Grass? ”

"Auntie said......" Fangcao's eyes were already filled with tears: "Auntie said that I can only hand it over to you when I get to Chang'an." ”

"This is Chang'an."

"This is Chang'an?" Fangcao's eyes widened, and a tear just slipped into her gaping mouth.

"Almost." Tear through the cloth bag.

When I opened the cloth bag, there was a layer of paper similar to oiled paper, wrapped in two layers, and when I opened it, it was a normal piece of paper, densely filled with words.

After sweeping her eyes twice, she glanced at the herbs: "Hurry up and clean up, I'm done, you haven't cleaned up yet, I'll throw you into the sea to feed the fish!" ”

Yerba grass shuddered.

She walked a little farther away.

He turned his head and looked at the grass twice before finding a place to sit down.

The gaze fell on the paper.

This is a letter from a nurse to her.

Indeed, as Fangcao said, she should not get this letter until they arrive in Chang'an.

The letter begins: "Are you okay all the way?" ”

"Even if many people escort you, all the way to Chang'an, it is inevitable that there will be twists and turns, and when you see this letter, you will definitely have arrived in Chang'an safely."

How can the nurse be sure that she will definitely go to Chang'an?

She has been following Liu Jingyi and her party, she will definitely arrive in Chang'an, if something like yesterday happens, such a large-scale assassination, she has every reason not to go to Chang'an.

Finally got out of a dirt pit and rushed to jump into another fire pit?

"If you leave halfway, or go to Chang'an alone, you won't see this letter."

"Of course, I will fulfill my promise, and the treasurer of the Blessing Pavilion will still give you a sum of money."

That's right.

In fact, no matter how much she goes around, in the end, she will still go to Chang'an, after all, the nurse promised to give her a sum of money, which is not a small amount.

If she goes alone and doesn't complete the nurse's task, she takes the herb with her, or gives the herb to the shopkeeper of Fu Lin Pavilion, her grant should be a little less, or even none.

Hand-in-hand.

Pay the money in one hand.

It's a dart.

Another question arises, though.

Why did the nurse give her a sum of money?

Just because she's eaten her milk?

In fact, the relationship between the original owner and the nurse is very general, some large families, the child's milk is not enough, and there are several nurses at home, and Aunt Wen is just one of them.

Therefore, a bell dares to show her face.

Let's move on.

"Now that you've arrived in Chang'an, there's something you should know."

"You're not Lin Wan'er's daughter."

"It's not Liu Jingzhi's child."

"You'll resent me if you tell you this, but I have to tell you."

"You're my twin sister's daughter."

"I'm your aunt."

Just seeing this, she already believed.

Indeed, she felt that her appearance was somewhat similar to that of the nurse, and at that time, she ...... She also imagined the story that Liu Jingzhi and Aunt Wen had to tell, but if that was the case, Lin's attitude towards her could not be explained.

In this way...... There's a secret hidden here.

A big secret!

What did Liu Jingzhi and Lin Wan'er do?

Why did she become their daughter again?

My aunt only talked about part of what she knew.

"All of this, blame me, I shouldn't have separated your mother from the man, but I did, and your mother had to flee from the house, and I didn't know she was pregnant at that time."

"There are only a handful of clues guiding me."

"She's here in Dongzhou."

"I didn't find her, but I found you, and the first time I saw you, I knew that you were Sister A's daughter."

"The fifteen years in Liufu are regarded as atonement."

"By the time you arrive in Chang'an, I've already left Liufu."

"I have my own business to do."

"Everyone has his own life, his own way, go by himself, no one can protect you for a lifetime."

"As for why you are in Liufu and become the concubine of Liufu, I haven't been able to find out. For so many years, Lin Wan'er has not revealed the slightest news, but I know that they do have a daughter. ”

"When they were married to the emperor at that time, their daughter was not you."

"That girl, as old as you, should be in Dongzhou City according to my guess."

"When you went to Liufu, I didn't eat the milk of a few nurses, so I had the opportunity to go in, and in the dark, this is also a kind of fate."

"Why did they change you?"

"You have to remember that from childhood to adulthood, there have been three times when you almost died."

"The fourth time, unexpectedly, it was the hand of the fifth aunt."

"Knowing that you were unconscious, I rushed back to Liufu from Fuyang overnight."
