Chapter 082: The Jade Pendant Given by the Gods
He said as he stepped back.
Tang Ning didn't say a word, and took out a jade pendant from his arms. Mutton fat white jade, delicate and warm, she put the jade pendant in the palm of her hand and showed it to Meng Yuanji.
The red-faced young man was stunned for a moment when he saw this.
What do you mean?
He followed her gaze and glanced down. The jade pendant hanging around his waist is so coincidental, and it is also of mutton fat jade.
It turned out that she was watching this.
Slightly relieved, he took off the jade pendant and raised his eyes to look forward. Shi Qing's heart-saving plum blossoms have faded. He carried it with him after his mother's death.
His eyes were slightly condensed, and Meng Yuanji shook the jade pendant.
If you want to talk about relics, this is the real relic. He was so poor that his chest was attached to his back, and he didn't want to sell this piece of jade.
However, why did she look at his jade pendant with such eyes?
Is it hard to want?
As soon as his eyes changed, Meng Yuanji looked at Tang Ning vigilantly.
Jia Lan on the side suddenly let out a soft "huh".
Tang Ning asked, "Where did your jade pendant come from?" ”
Meng Yuanji glanced at the jade pendant in his hand and frowned: "Why do you ask like this?" ”
Jia Lan, who had already seen that something was wrong, said in a low voice: "These two jade pendants seem to be from the same person's hand. ”
When Meng Yuanji heard this, he looked at the jade in Tang Ning's hand in surprise.
The girl with a strange expression trembled a little: "On your jade pendant, there is also a word 'Ning'." ”
Meng Yuanji clenched his jade pendant.
His jade, what is engraved on it, of course he knows.
But at such a distance, how could she see such a small word? Can ordinary people have such eyes? He retreated to the door again: "It's just a 'Ning' word, everyone can carve it, what's so strange?" ”
However, the same mutton fat jade, the same words, is indeed a little strange.
Memories came to his mind, and Meng Yuanji said suspiciously: "Could it be that the handwriting is the same?" ”
Before the words fell, Tang Ning had already thrown the jade pendant to him.
He raised his hand to catch it and put the two pieces of jade together. Looking at it this way, it is really exactly the same, and even the fineness of the jade seems to be no different.
The word "Ning" on the top is similar to the strokes, as if copying.
Meng Yuanji's face also changed.
Tang Ning said: "The words on this jade pendant were engraved by my father's own hands. ”
When Meng Yuanji heard this, he almost dropped the two jade pendants to the ground: "That uncle, is it your father?" He touched his head with a headache, "No......
But it's okay not to say it, when he talks about it, the more he looks at Tang Ning, the more he looks like that man.
It was ten years ago, but because of the bizarreness, it is as clear as yesterday when I think about it.
At that time, my mother was already very ill. The adults coaxed him, it doesn't matter, rest for a while, and his mother will get better, but he knows that his mother probably won't live long.
Tall and short, fat and thin, young and old, all kinds of doctors, shuttled back and forth in the Meng family's mansion, but no one could do anything.
The smell of medicine on my mother's body is getting stronger and stronger, and she looks thinner and thinner day by day.
When he was young, he ran out of the house and hid in the forest alone and cried, crying so much that his nose and tears were all muddy.
He thought that by crying heavily, he would be able to calm down.
But I didn't expect that the more I cried, the more sad I became.
Tears flowed out, the body lost moisture, but the sadness did not diminish in the slightest. He cried like a newborn in the third uncle's house, with his mouth open and howling.
The wind blew through the leaves, and some birds were scared away.
Suddenly, there was a cry, and he reached out to cover his mouth.
In the woods, whimpering, as if someone was still crying!
He sobbed, following the sound and cautiously approaching.
There was a man, sitting under a tree, crying in embarrassment. Looking at his age, it seems to be about the same as his father. When he got closer, he couldn't help wiping his tears and asked, "This uncle, you are an adult, why are you crying?" ”
The man raised his head and looked at him with red eyes: "You are a little child, why are you crying so sadly?" ”
He stood beside the tree, and when he heard the words and thought of his mother, his nose became even more sore.
One big and one small, two strangers, faced each other and cried.
He said that he was afraid that he would never see his mother again, and that just thinking about it made him feel as sad as the sky was falling apart.
The man frowned and lifted the jade pendant in his hand.
The words that have just been carved shine in the sun.
He recognized it as the word "Ning".
After enlightenment, his grandfather personally taught him many words.
He looked at the jade pendant, read it softly, and asked the man under the tree why he carved this word, but the man just shook his head when he heard the words, saying that he didn't know why.
Peace and tranquility, maybe it's just a good omen.
After looking at it for a while, the man suddenly handed him the jade pendant, saying that it was fate to meet here, and this jade pendant may have been carved to him.
I hope his mother can get better soon and be safe forever.
He took the jade pendant in a daze, and heard the maid calling for the "sixth young master" to come over, and hurriedly ran out of the forest.
Afterwards, he took people to look for him again, but he searched all over and found no one.
If it weren't for the jade pendant given by the strange man in his hand, the previous conversation would have been like a dream.
He took the pendant to his mother and told her that he had met a god in the woods.
His mother laughed and didn't allow him to read the book any more. But the origin of the jade pendant is indeed strange, and after that, the adults in the family no longer let him go to play in the forest alone.
However, he firmly believed that he had seen the gods, and the jade pendant given by the gods had magical powers, so his mother also accepted it with a smile, and personally tied the jade pendant.
Coincidentally, my mother also got better for a short time.
When the weather is fine, she can even walk under the porch to bask in the sun by herself.
But in the world, how can there be a god who specially sent him a jade pendant?
That piece of jade is just an ordinary jade.
After all, my mother ran out of oil and ran out of lights, and she couldn't do it.
Before leaving, his mother held his hand and returned the jade pendant to him, telling him not to cry, to grow up happily, and live a safe and smooth life like the Ning character engraved on the jade pendant.
If he believes that the person he sees is a god, it is a god.
Mother said, "Be happy, flawless."
But he couldn't breathe from crying.
No one will ever call him by his name in such a voice and tone again.
Extracting from the memories, Meng Yuanji threw Tang Ning's jade pendant back: "Ten years ago, I met a man by chance, he sat under the tree and cried for a long time, and when he was about to leave, he gave me this jade pendant. ”
"I don't know what his name is, where he's from, or where he's gone."
"But since it's possible to be your father, then he's probably going home." He thought about what had happened that day, and speculated wildly.
Tang Ning breathed lightly.
Ten years ago –
"Where did you meet him?"
When Meng Yuanji heard this, he casually spit out two words: "Xiling." ”
Xue Luo, who was on the side of the wall, raised his head sharply when he heard Xiling.
