He Xingyao and the others felt that things were too strange, this West Garden was just an ordinary courtyard, but they didn't expect that they would experience these things.

She was a little curious, so she could only look at Chu Yuan and say, "Hey, this is your yard, but why can we go from this yard to another place?" Do you know why? ”

Chu Yuan shook his head.

He also wanted to know why.

And if the things they experienced were true, if there really were people like Mo Cheche and Chen Qingqing, then everything would make sense.

He had a very bold idea in his head, but he couldn't put it into practice.

And Chu Yue Chenchen seemed to suddenly think of something, and his expression looked very solemn.

Just as everyone was in the joy of returning to the West Garden, there was a knock on the door, which rang in their ears.

The wind was blowing gently, the sky was high and the clouds were wide, and the weather was neither hot nor cold, so it could be regarded as a good day to go green.

The knock on the door was getting closer and closer, and He Xingyao suddenly walked in the direction of the sound for some reason.

It was the southernmost corner gate in the corner of the West Garden, and the stones at the door were covered with moss and weeds, and it looked particularly desolate.

At this time, an old lady with a cane came over.

She looks very old, her forehead and face are full of wrinkles, and her hair is snow-white, and although the clothes she wears look tattered, she is also more particular, I don't know what kind of person she is, she doesn't look like those beggars on the street, she said that she was specially offered, but she didn't look like it.

He Xingyao was puzzled, and the old grandmother suddenly came to her, and said directly with a smile: "Little girl, why did you come here?" ”

He Xingyao looked at the old lady, although he felt that it was really strange here, but he still had to figure it out after all.

After thinking of this, she said directly: "Grandma, it doesn't look like there is a person living here, why are you here?" ”

The two men asked each other, and their eyes were red with each other.

If nothing else, such an atmosphere is really strange.

He Xingyao didn't know why, as long as she saw the old woman in front of her, she couldn't help but feel very sad, and her heart was as painful as a needle prick.

After a long time, the old woman muttered, "You child, I look at me with kind eyebrows, like a fairy daughter in the Nine Heavens, why don't you stay in heaven so well, but come to this world full of suffering?" ”

He Xingyao didn't know why she said such a thing, but he couldn't bear to interrupt, so he continued to listen.

I saw the old grandmother speak again: "Really, what a little Ling'er, why don't I know?" Daddy, Ling, Ling'er have always stayed here, and they haven't left a single step. ”

When she said this, the old woman looked like she was going to cry, and the whole person looked extremely aggrieved, "But, but what's the point?" Sister Che Che has left, she, she said, I will stay in this palace for a long time, and said that one day in the future, the Chu family and the Mo family will definitely reconcile, but, but Sister Che Che's family, why did they all disappear? ”

The amount of information in these words is too great, and He Xingyao always feels very confused when he listens to it.

So, she came to the old lady's side with a strong pretense, and said, "Grandma, you, have you always stayed here and never left?" ”

Hearing this, the old woman suddenly looked up at her.

I don't know why, but the two of them feel very familiar with each other, as if they have seen each other before.

However, they were not impressed.

It's just that the old woman suddenly had a very beautiful smile, and that smile seemed to coincide with someone in her memory.

He Xingyao was desperately running her brain, she felt that when she met this old woman, this matter must not be a coincidence, after all, if it was really a coincidence, how could she always have a feeling of tears in her eyes? And there's always an urge to cry, which is not a feeling that strangers should have.

Just when she was at a loss, the old woman suddenly grabbed her hands and shouted, "You, have you seen it?" ”

He Xingyao said: "What do you see?" ”

Hearing this, the old grandmother seemed to be very unwilling, but looking at the kind eyes of the woman in front of her, she felt that she was a faithful and reliable person.

So, as soon as the old grandmother gritted her teeth, she said directly: "Little girl, don't worry, wait for me to tell you a story, you can listen carefully, and you will understand the clues." ”

So, He Xingyao was next to the door on the south side, squatted against the wall, snuggled up with the old grandmother, looked at each other and smiled, looking very harmonious.

I saw that the old woman suddenly patted her on the shoulder, then pursed her lips with some dissatisfaction, and said: "The story goes like this, many, many years ago, there was a woman who was the same size as you......"

The old grandmother began to tell her story, and He Xingyao began to listen carefully.

Many years ago, there was one of the most powerful races that ruled one place for hundreds of years, and then that race slowly faded, allowing other races to climb up.

A very smart girl was born in this group, and she had an unforgettable love with the heir of another family, but this kind of love was only what she thought after all.

The girl seemed to be blindfolded by something, unable to see the truth of the matter, not knowing the true face of the man, and not understanding the many dangers of this world.

By chance, the girl bumped into the betrayal of her sweetheart, and those filthy and pickled things made her very irritated for a while, and even the two dead people, although she did not do it, but she was still very scared in her heart, she wanted to say all this, but after all, she still did not have the courage.

It wasn't until later that the man told her that everything he had done was for the future of the two of them and told her not to be angry.

But how is this possible?

The betrayal of the lover even took two lives, what an important and dark thing it is!

The girl kept shouting in her heart, she was too cowardly, after all, before the matter was discovered, her spirit collapsed, and the whole person was in a state of confusion, and her mind was not enough.

And her sweetheart, the culprit who hurt two lives, although she finally got the retribution she deserved, but because she broke through those things, she has never let go of it for many years.

Suddenly, the old woman looked into He Xingyao's eyes and asked, "Do you know what it is like when a person closes his eyes and his eyes are full of blood and corpses?" ”

He Xingyao shook his head.

She didn't understand this, after all, she hadn't experienced anything like this, and naturally she couldn't fully empathize, at most she was just sympathetic.

The old lady was a little frustrated when she saw her reaction like this, but she didn't show it.

"It was despair, the voice of despair was always in my head, making me feel that this world is not worth nostalgia for, but I must live in this world because I have my own mission."

After a pause, the old grandmother continued to look at her and said: "In this world, everyone should have their own mission, and I know that I shouldn't let my family worry, so over the years, although I have encountered many sudden sad things, I still carried it after all, and now I have met you again, which is considered providence." ”

He Xingyao didn't know what she meant by this, although she didn't plan to interrupt, but half of the story was always unpleasant.

So, He Xingyao suddenly looked at the person in front of him with a smile and said, "Grandma, this story is not finished, right?" You go on, and I'll be sure to listen carefully. ”

It was rare to meet someone who liked to listen to stories, and the grandmother felt very happy, so she continued to talk.

The girl later made many friends, and the emperor at that time was a woman, so he always took care of her, and even made an exception to let her live in the palace and enjoy the same treatment as the master in the palace.

The girl was flattered, but at that time, she had already had a nervous breakdown, and she didn't know what sorrow was.

She always remembered clearly that her father and grandfather had asked that the palace where the empress lived was built by her ancestors, so they had to let her stay there.

The mausoleum has a guardian, and this palace also has a guardian.

In this way, a hundred years passed in a blink of an eye.

The girl had gone from a young girl to a gray-haired old man.

When she said this, the old woman looked at her meaningfully.

When He Xingyao reacted, he directly asked, "Grandma, is this person you are talking about yourself?" ”

The old woman nodded, stroked her hair, and said, "You are really smart, the girl in the story is myself, and now it has been a hundred years, maybe everything has its own providence." ”

Hearing this, He Xingyao suddenly had another doubt in her heart, and she always had a very peculiar feeling that this old woman might have a fate with her.

After thinking of this, He Xingyao looked directly at the person in front of him and said, "Grandma, the story you told me always feels familiar. ”

When the old woman heard this, she had some doubts in her heart for a while, so she looked at her strangely and said, "Little girl, don't talk nonsense, how can you, a young child, an old man as old as me, have experienced the same thing?" ”

He Xingyao didn't answer, but continued to ask, "It's okay, grandma, do you remember what your name is?" I do think this kind of thing is familiar, maybe we knew each other in the first place. ”

When these words were spoken, He Xingyao was no longer going to take them back, after all, the old man in front of her gave her the feeling that it was too familiar, and even when they looked at each other and smiled, she had a feeling of fate.

Although the old lady didn't know what the situation was, she still looked at her and said, "My name is Chu Ling'er, by the way, don't underestimate this dilapidated place, this was where the palace was located at the beginning, and it was very prosperous back then." ”

Hearing this, He Xingyao completely confirmed the thoughts in his heart.

When she and Chu Yuan and the others left that ghost place, they always felt that they were in a hurry, and it didn't seem to make any sense, but they didn't expect to see this white-haired old grandmother now, and this old woman turned out to be Chu Ling'er at the beginning.

This Chu Ling'er, now it seems that his brain is completely healed, but he is already very old.

He Xingyao felt that all this happened unexpectedly, so he suddenly took her hand excitedly and said, "You, are you really Ling'er?" ”

The old grandmother was taken aback, she is very old now, and her memory of her youth is also very vague, so looking at He Xingyao, although she always feels very familiar, she never remembers the events of the year.

She had only a few sporadic vague memories in her mind, and it seemed that there had been a time when her memory was blank, and it was during that time that she was missing the impression of a person.

The old woman nodded.

She is indeed the first ling'er.

In this world, He Xingyao can forget anyone's smile, but Chu Ling'er's smile is definitely the most profound and the least forgettable, after all, the half-stupid and half-smart girl at the beginning laughed with a little cunning feeling, no matter who saw it, they felt cute and a little too smart.

Seeing such a reaction, He Xingyao burst into tears for a while.

She hugged her grandmother, and suddenly choked up and said, "Ling'er, you look at me well, I am Xingyao, He Xingyao, I met you at the beginning." ”

Hearing this, Chu Ling'er tried hard to recall, but she couldn't remember anything.

Maybe it's because time is too long, Chu Ling'er's memory of the beginning, the clearest is only Mo Chen, that scumbag.

I don't know why, her relationship with Mo Chen seemed to be happy with each other on the surface, but in fact, she didn't have much feeling for that person, and the usual relationship was just like a routine.

It's just that when she gets old, her impression of Mo Chen is much clearer, and at the same time, she also feels that what happened at the beginning is too hateful.

How can there be such a bad scumbag in the world?

Chu Ling'er looked at He Xingyao and couldn't remember what happened after that, so she could only smile apologetically and said: "Xingyao, I'm sorry, I really can't remember, maybe we met at the beginning, but now it's all over, so many years, why aren't you old at all?" ”

Hearing this, He Xingyao also felt very strange, but as long as she thought about it seriously, she would know the clues.

So, she could only pretend to laugh twice, trying to divert her attention.

Fortunately, Chu Ling'er didn't pursue this kind of thing too much, so she just held her hand, and the two of them snuggled up to each other affectionately.

After a while, He Xingyao looked at her and said, "You see that I am accompanying you, at the south gate of this West Garden, listening to these stories you tell, I didn't expect that now, we will meet again." ”

He Xingyao always had a sad feeling in her heart, and Chu Ling'er was missing the memory of that period, so although she felt very familiar, she always felt a little worse.

"Xingyao, you said you had seen me, so do you know what my past was like? I can't remember anything from my youth. ”

Chu Ling'er said lightly, and tears flowed out unconsciously.
