Chapter 378 The mystery of the mother's disappearance has finally been solved
Cang Ming pointed to a cave not far in front of him, "It's right there, I just saw it, the person is not here, he should have gone down the mountain to buy something." "Living in this snow-covered mountain, it is impossible to be self-sufficient, not to mention that the man has a cough, so of course he has to go down the mountain every few days to buy some rice and medicine, and make ends meet.
Nan Xueyu took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, and walked towards the cave.
Jiqin then followed and comforted, "Miss, no one can say anything about Madame's situation, so-"
"I understand," Nan Xueyu smiled indifferently, "If I can see my mother again, God has already treated me well, no matter what, I will hold on and be ready to accept the worst, don't worry." ā
Seeing that her expression was very calm, Jiqin didn't say anything more.
When he came to the cave, a cold air came to his face, Nan Xueyu shivered violently, muttered "It's so cold", and showed hesitation in his expression.
In fact, Cang Ming understood in her heart that she was not cold, but cold, and she was afraid that the result would not be what she wanted, so no matter how beautiful her words were, she couldn't hide the fear in her heart, so she stepped forward and said, "Xue Yu, otherwise don't you go in first?"
"I'm fine," Nan Xueyu smiled at him and hugged herself, "Let's go, go in and have a look." "Good and bad are always faced, and there's no point in putting it off.
"Miss," Chi Yan said suddenly, "someone is coming." ā
Cang Ming glanced down and said, "It's that person." ā
The man probably saw the messy footprints on the ground and knew that an outsider had visited, so he hurried over to the cave, shouting as he ran, "Who is it......?" Ahem, ahem, not allowed to go in, not allowed to ...... Ahem-"I ran all the way and coughed all the way, and I had to carry my breath several times."
Chi Yan flew over, restrained the man in the blink of an eye, lifted him over, threw him on the ground and said, "Miss, he doesn't know martial arts, and he's very sick." ā
This person was indeed very sick, and when he was thrown away by Chiyan, he couldn't get up in one breath, and his face was bruised for a while, and he couldn't cough out.
Nan Xueyu looked at his face, it was really very pale, and there was still a little blood on his lips, maybe he coughed too much just now, looking at his age was only thirty or forty years old, but because he was very thin, his forehead was full of wrinkles, his eyes were deep, and he looked like he was dying. "Who are you?"
"IāI'm going to ask you," the man finally relented, glared at them angrily, and said vigilantly, "you, why did you come here, why?"
Cang Ming grabbed him by the collar and shouted, "Miss asked you, who are you, what is your name, say!"
This person looked at Nan Xueyu in surprise, did it turn out that this person was dressed as a woman and a man? But with such a appearance, even if she restores her daughter's clothes, I'm afraid it will be ugly, right?
Nan Xueyu's heart moved, knowing that he must be hostile to his gang, so she refused to say it directly, she immediately put her hair down, grabbed a handful of snow from the ground, soaked the handkerchief after the snow melted, and gently wiped the makeup on her face.
After a while, the medicine on her face receded, and her beautiful face was revealed, although the clothes on her body were messy and looked a little ridiculous, but this familiar face still surprised this person, "Mei'er?"
"I look a lot like my mother, right?" Nan Xueyu smiled indifferently, "Now do you believe that we have no malicious intentions? I'm here to find my mother." ā
This person was shocked, and then he saw that although this woman was extremely similar to Mei'er, she was obviously much younger, and she was still a child at all, and Mei'er had been in a coma for so many years, how could she wake up?
"Nan Xueqing is my eldest sister, I am Nan Xueyu," Nan Xueyu was relieved, "You know me, so don't be nervous, okay? I finally got the news of my mother's parents, tell me what happened to her, okay?"
The man stared at her face with a look of pain in his eyes, "Mei'er's daughter...... We're all so old, Mei'er, have we been here for so many years?"
"Please get up," Nan Xueyu helped him up and sat on the big rock, "You are here with my mother all year round, I don't know the years outside the mountain, it is difficult for you." ā
This person smiled bitterly, and slowly shed tears, "I am self-inflicted, I can't live, Mei'er must hate me to death, she will definitely not forgive me!"
There is indeed a hidden meaning in the middle. Nan Xueyu made a look, signaled the monkey on the side to calm down, and asked this person to slow down.
After a long while, this person came back from the pain and said in a dumb voice, "I never thought that you could find here, who told you that Mei'er and I were here?" ā
"It's also a coincidence, I didn't expect that there would be a day when I would meet my mother again, I actually always thought that my mother had passed away a long time ago. Nan Xueyu didn't want to explain more, in fact, if Zhang Pinghui hadn't told her that her mother might still be alive, she wouldn't have been able to come here deliberately, maybe there would be no day to see each other in her life.
"It's my fault," the man smiled wryly, "I'm too selfish to think I can stay with Mei'er, but ...... Xue Yu, where do you want me to start?" "Anyway, everyone has found it, what's the point of him hiding it, not to mention that he won't die soon, so he can't let Mei'er go with him."
Nan Xueyu said, "How did my mother leave Daqin back then?"
This person sighed, "My name is Zhong Yuxiu, my family has been in business for generations, although I dare not say that I am rich and rival the country, but there are not many people who can compare to our Zhong family." ā
Nan Xueyu interjected, "Is the Zhong family the best at planting purple candle tears?"
Zhong Yuxiu said in surprise, "Did Mei'er mention it to you? It shouldn't be, when she was still in the Nan family, she didn't recover her memory, how did you know?"
Nan Xueyu said in his heart that this was indeed the case, no wonder his clothes were embroidered with purple candles and tears back then, "I just learned by chance." ā
Zhong Yuxiu didn't ask much, "Originally, I was the best at planting purple candle tears, and because of this, the Zhong family's business was even more popular, but who knew that later, people found that purple candle tears were toxic, which would make people slowly addicted, and finally die in pain, so they all came to the Zhong family to ask for compensation, my parents died for this, and the Zhong family went bankrupt, and since then it has been in a slump, of course, this is all an afterthought, after I met Mei'er." ā
When the Zhong family was at its peak, just for the part of the court to pay taxes, there was a considerable amount every year, not to mention that the Zhong family also paid tribute to the court from time to time all kinds of excellent food and clothing, so it was quite valued by the court, and the emperor also personally summoned Zhong's father several times, Zhong Yuxiu was able to follow his father into the palace, it was at that time, I saw the princess An Ling, who was peerless and had a quiet temperament, and immediately fell for it, and couldn't stop.
Zhong's father and mother couldn't bear their son's lovesickness, so they had the courage to ask the emperor for marriage. The emperor did not despise the Zhong family because they were commoners, but An Ling had no affection for Zhong Yuxiu, so he refused this family business, and the emperor loved this daughter very much, so he naturally would not force her, so he would just do it.
But Zhong Yuxiu seemed to be stunned, Fei Anling frowned and did not marry, thinking day and night, in the cold winter and the moon, one stop at the palace gate was three days and three nights, without eating or drinking, until he fainted because of cold and hunger, and was carried back to Zhong's house. After he woke up, he continued to go to the outer station of the palace gate, and his cough fell at that time.
Nan Xueyu felt very uncomfortable in her heart, there was a lover in the world, this hatred was not about the wind and the moon, she could imagine Zhong Yuxiu's mood at that time. "So, is my mother finally touched by your affection?"
"How is it possible," Zhong Yuxiu smiled bitterly, "although Mei'er is gentle, but also resolute, she learned that I refused to leave at the gate of the palace, and fell ill, not only was she not moved, but came out and scolded me, saying that I was a toad and wanted to eat swan meat, she had no interest in me at all, so I didn't want to be embarrassed again." ā
Nan Xueyu was silent, thinking of the gentleness of her mother before, she really couldn't imagine that her mother could still say such cruel words. "Then do you hate my mother very much?"
"No, I don't hate her at all," Zhong Yuxiu shook her head, "I actually understand what Mei'er means, she doesn't want me to continue to be decadent because of her, I also know that the twisted melon is not sweet, Mei'er does this to make me completely dead and not lose my life because of her." ā
Come to think of it. Nan Xueyu nodded, "You go on." ā
"I'm not reconciled," Zhong Yuxiu's eyes suddenly became sharp, "Especially when I heard that Mei'er was promised to others, I was even more jealous and crazy, no one in the world loves Mei'er more than me, I must be with Mei'er, no one can snatch her! And soon after, the opportunity came." ā
At that time, when Daqin was at war with other countries, the soldiers on the border suffered heavy casualties, and An Ling's medical skills were superb, and he was even more sympathetic to the soldiers' hard work in protecting their homes and defending the country, so he did not hesitate to go to the border with golden branches and jade leaves to treat the wounds of the soldiers in order to stimulate the morale of the soldiers.
When Zhong Yuxiu heard about this, he immediately asked his parents to donate 30,000 taels of silver to the imperial court and sent them to the border in person. There I saw An Ling Ningmei who treated the wounds of the soldiers, she did everything herself, she was not afraid of dirty, not afraid of tiredness, she was deeply loved and respected by the soldiers, everyone fought bravely to kill the enemy, with one block ten, incomparable.
Soon after, Zhong Yuxiu found an opportunity, the enemy attacked in the middle of the night, and caught Daqin off guard, he took advantage of the chaos to take An Ling Ningmei on the horse and galloped away, originally going to take her away and fly away, but unexpectedly encountered a group of enemy soldiers halfway, under the collision, he fell off the horse, rolled to the grass on the side of the road, fell and fainted, and also escaped by luck.
However, when he woke up, he never saw An Ling Ning Mei again, and later learned that she was missing in the chaotic army, and her whereabouts were unknown, and the emperor was heartbroken.
