Chapter 12: The Truth
Xue Ling sat quietly.
Looking at the fire in the charcoal basin, the depression in my heart stretched out little by little.
His father was humble and elegant, soft-hearted and kind-hearted.
I should have been more like my father in the past.
What's more, with the usual weakness of women, after all, they lack some killing courage.
And now, there was a determined glint in her eyes.
That soft heart is now like building a layer of steel on the outside, and it has become stronger.
Weakness will block all the ways of life, and when the lives of your loved ones hang behind you, what you couldn't do before can be easily done.
Little by little, the sparks burned out, and gradually only the ashes remained.
And the weak and bullying Xue Ling in the past has gradually drifted away and disappeared.
She stared at the ashes in the brazier.
The ashes still retain the shape of the book.
However, the things that were destroyed will never have a chance to appear in the world, and in the future, the Xue family's medical skills that can be passed on to future generations will only be left behind after her screening.
Everything is different from before.
A fresh start.
There will definitely be a different ending.
Xue Ling picked out two books of similar thickness from the dresser and put them in the sunken wooden box, then relocked them and put them aside.
All this was done very naturally, and after doing it, he called Siyu, "Put it away." ”
Siyu was guarding the door, naturally seeing it.
Xue Ling didn't want to hide it.
She glanced at it, looked at the silk rain that wanted to speak and stopped, and forcibly endured the silk rain that didn't know how to speak.
Xue Ling took the initiative to break the silence, "Say whatever you want directly." ”
Siyu was a little panicked, how important these two books are, even if Siyu is just a girl, she knows it.
When the girl took it from the old man's hand, she was in awe.
Now he doesn't care about destroying it.
All these changes seem to have come too quickly, and the rain is a little difficult to accept for a while.
She was just a girl who opened her mouth, only to find that she didn't know what to say at all.
After a while, Siyu took a breath, as if she had made up her mind, she revealed her heart, "Girl,"
Then he paused for a moment, thought slightly, and then said, "Don't worry, girl, I will listen to the girl, and I will never talk nonsense, the girl believes me." Whatever the girl decides, I listen to her. ”
Xue Ling was moved in her heart. Yes, even after experiencing everything in the previous life, Siyu's determination at this time still moved her.
Whether it was in a previous life or in this life, no matter whether the decisions she made were beyond the capacity of Siyu and Sizhu.
These two girls have always guarded her to live and die together.
She stretched out a hand and stopped Silk Rain's unfinished words.
After experiencing the events of her previous life, there is no trust left in her heart for a long time.
But the few people who never betrayed her until death have naturally been engraved into her heart.
Who is credible and who is not, she knows clearly in her heart.
She took Siyu's hand, put away the leaking anger, and the whole person became gentle and firm, "Don't be afraid, the decisions I make are all well thought out, every step I take has been planned, and the next road may be a little difficult, but I will protect you safely, just you and Sizhu follow me." ”
Siyu looked at Xue Ling, her eyes turned red, and she nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, girl, Sizhu and I will listen to the girl's words and will never drag the girl's hind legs." ”
"Well, of course I do." Xue Ling smiled and nodded.
When Izuku walked in.
Xue Ling took a cup of hot tea, took a sip gently, and was sighing, "I've been in this courtyard for half a year, and now this peaceful day is over, but I'm looking forward to the next few days." ”
When Xue Ling saw Sizhu coming back, he emphasized again, "Daddy is gone, and the next days will definitely be different from before." The two of you remember to be cautious in your words and deeds, don't trust the people of the Xue family, even the people around your grandmother must be careful. ”
Sizhu was a little confused, and asked, "Girl, will something happen, my mother is also looking like a great enemy now." ”
Xue Ling said, "It's going to be fine, don't worry, as long as you listen to my orders, the sky will fall, and I will have a way to hold it up." ”
What should be accounted for has already been explained.
Xue Ling stood up and said, "Let's go, clean up, let's go to the mourning hall." ”
Xue Ling came to the mourning hall.
The mourning hall has been set up,
The room is full of white.
Sitting on the group, the mother knelt on the coffin.
Unlike the gloomy and sad figure in the previous life, although the current mother is still grieving, she doesn't look like she used to be dead.
My mother had a desire to survive.
Xue Ling walked in and knelt beside her mother.
Then asked, "A-Niang, has Mother Xu ever been here?" ”
Jiang Yue said, "Mother Xu came over and said that she was not in a hurry to buy first, and she would wait for the old lady to come over and then make a decision." Still, I'm worried that time is too tight. ”
Xue Ling nodded, "Mother Xu has always been safe, since she said so, it is naturally as it should be." A-Niang doesn't have to worry. ”
Jiang Yue nodded.
Skip it.
Xue Yan's body was weak, and after staying up for an hour, she couldn't hold it anymore, so Jiang Shi said, "Ah Ling, you and your sister go to sleep for a while, it's cold and the night is deep, you don't have to guard it like this." ”
Xue Ling shook her head and said, "Let the nurse accompany Yan'er to rest first, I want to accompany A-Niang again, I just have something to say to A-Niang." ”
Without waiting for Jiang Yue to speak, she instructed Jiang's mother, "The nurse will accompany Yan'er to rest first, and then come back to change shifts in the middle of the night." ”
After Jiang's mother and Xue Yan left.
Xue Ling looked at her mother at this time, her mother's expression was haggard, her eye sockets were deep, she was a little distressed, and said thoughtfully, "A-Niang, you also go wash your face and change your clothes, the night is still long." ”
Jiang Yue was worried that her daughter would be scared if she was alone in the wake of the spirit, "No need, I can still stand it." ”
Xue Ling said, "Auntie, I am a person who practices medicine, and my courage is not so small, not to mention, I still want to talk to my father." You go and change your clothes and make a pot of ginseng tea. ”
Jiang Yue nodded, then turned around and went to the inner hall.
Xue Ling listened to her mother's footsteps and gradually moved away.
That's when I got up.
She had always wondered about the cause of her father's death. But at that time, her father had passed away for too long, and he had already been buried in peace, even if she had doubts in her heart, she had no chance to verify it.
Now is an opportunity.
Xue Ling walked towards the coffin step by step. On the contrary, my heart is very peaceful.
Some truths have already been speculated by her, but they still need to be verified with their own eyes.
Because the people of the Xue family did not arrive, the coffin was never closed.
Xue Ling stood still, leaned over, and looked at his father's face, revealing a sense of serenity.
She exhaled softly, her heart was a little sad, and more of a sense of responsibility under the weight of the burden.
"Daddy, don't worry, I've grown up, I will protect my mother and sister."
