Cutting Yun opened his eyes and found that the lights in the room had gone out for some time.

"Beans! Little beans! Why did the lights go out in the room? ”

Xiaodouzi is the girl who is responsible for serving her, and she is always waiting in the room, but at this time, she shouted several times in a row and couldn't hear the other party's answer. Cutting Yun's tone couldn't help but become bad, she groped to get up, and scolded in her mouth: "Stinky girl, it's only been a few days, and she has fallen asleep." ”

Ever since that incident, Cut Cloud has hated the dark, or rather, the night, so the light in the room has always been on all night. Because she is still the top girl in Haitang Courtyard, and the inside story that she is about to marry a concubine by the county lord, Mama has never said anything, but has instructed someone to prepare enough lamp oil in her room.

His eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness in the room, and he stood up by the side of the bed.

"Stinky girl, you actually sneaked out while I was asleep, and when you come back, see how I clean you up."

After cursing, I suddenly felt a cool breeze blowing.

An ethereal female voice came into her ears: "Good sister, back to back...... Good sisters, back to back. ”

The sound seemed to come from his ears, causing Cutting Cloud to freeze in place in an instant, only to feel cold all over.

Sisters?

A long, long time ago, she had a younger sister.

They are two flowers and are born exactly the same, but their temperaments are slightly different.

In my memory, my sister always followed her obediently, and no matter what she asked her to do, she would raise her chin and reply in a small voice, "Okay! ”

My father and mother were just ordinary farmers, and it was not easy to raise two children, especially two girls, in that isolated mountain village. In addition to eating and drinking, they also had to endure the white eyes of their neighbors, and in order to make them less bullied, their parents had to move again and again. Finally, they moved to a barren hill far from the village.

On the barren hills, there is nothing but barrenness. The two sisters can only play with each other, and what they play the most is the game of you carrying me and I carrying you. When I was tired, I sat back to back and read a song I didn't know where I heard it.

If life can go on like this, it may not be bad. But on the contrary, my mother was sick and very sick. The father and mother had no choice, so they discussed sending one of the daughters out, but she happened to hear it.

She is an older sister, stubborn, not as well-behaved and obedient as her sister, and her father naturally wants to send her out. She remembers that at that time she did not cry, not even a tear, but hid behind the thatched hut and asked herself over and over again. Why? Why do parents like their sisters more, and why do parents always think that their sisters are the ones who are well-behaved and obedient? Why, I was only a little older than my sister, but I had to be sent back by my father.

Just when she couldn't figure it out, her well-behaved and obedient sister ran up to her with an innocent face, tilted her head and asked why she was hiding behind the thatched house? She said in her heart, it's not because of you. Because of you, my father and mother will want to send me away.

It is said to be a gift, but in fact it is a sale.

Somehow she hated her in her heart, she took her sister up the mountain to play under the pretext of taking her sister to play, took her to the barren mountain, and then pushed her to the bottom of the cliff while she was not paying attention.

The moment her hands left her sister's back, she regretted it and was scared. But what's the use of regretting, what's the use of being afraid, she still pushed her sister down after all. With such a high cliff, her well-behaved sister will definitely not survive, all she needs to think about is how to go home and face her father.

She sat on the edge of the cliff for a long time, and she didn't know what to do until it was getting late, and her father came up to the cliff. She pretended to be her sister, threw herself into her father's arms and cried, pointing to the cliff while crying, saying that her sister had stumbled and fallen.

At that time, my father was worried about my mother's illness and didn't notice that her clothes were different from my sister's, so she easily passed the test and was carried home by my father.

It was the first time in my memory that my father hugged her when she grew up. She suddenly didn't regret it, and even felt that pushing her sister off the cliff was the best thing she did.

After her father took her home, he went to the village below the mountain to ask for help, and the neighbors who had looked down on them helped him to find his sister at the bottom of the cliff. She waited in trepidation all night, until the next day, when her father and they came back empty-handed, and she put her heart in her stomach. Because of my sister's matter, my mother's illness became more serious, even to the point where she no longer needed to ask for a doctor.

She remembered that when her mother was leaving, she called her to the bed, stared at her with those yellow eyes, and stared at her so deadly. Mother, she didn't say anything, but she knew that her mother saw it, and saw that she was not her sister, and she might even guess that her sister was pushed off the cliff by her.

That's a mother, not a father. She and her sister both came out of her mother's belly, and they were also raised by her mother. Dad, he may not be able to tell her and her sister apart, but her mother must be able to tell the difference. She didn't say it, because she didn't want to say it, couldn't bear to say it, didn't want to say it, or couldn't say it, she didn't ask. She only knew that her mother's eyes, and the things hidden in them, would still appear in front of her eyes from time to time until now.

After her mother died, her father buried her on the cliff according to her mother's last wishes. She understood everything in her heart, but she gritted her teeth and said nothing.

Dad, he became more and more silent. Not long after, my father was also sick, and he was even more sick than my mother.

On the day my father was leaving, his spirits suddenly improved. He woke her from her sleep and carried her to the village. It was her father, the last time she carried her, but she couldn't feel the warmth on her father's back. My father found an old man in the village and asked him to help her find a good family, whether it was a child daughter-in-law or a maid, as long as she had a stutter, grew up safely, and did not starve to death.

The old man agreed, and Dad left alone. And then ...... Later, she became the child daughter-in-law of the Zhang family and the wife of the bastard man named Zhang Yao. After all, she was given away by her father.

She didn't ask what happened to her father, but when she dreamed back in the middle of the night, she saw him and his mother standing next to the cliff, with their backs to her.

When she met the woman on the street, she wondered if she would be her sister. But soon, she denied it. Such a high cliff, how can you not die after falling? If she was still alive, why couldn't Dad and those neighbors find her? Besides, her sister is not called "Cutting Cloud".

Cutting Yun shuddered and woke up. She walked quickly to the candle, found the torch, and lit it.

The candlelight flickered, reflecting a shadow. She looked back in panic, only to find that there was nothing behind her.

"It must be because of that rouge shop." Qi Yun closed his eyes and stroked his chest: "What twin flowers, it's just a coincidence." ”

When his eyes fell on his arm, he noticed that another bud seemed to have grown under the painted flower. If I looked closely, I felt that it was not a flower bud, but a scar on the skin hidden under the flower.

"I must have been dazzled." Cutting Yun muttered to himself: "Sleep, when you wake up, there will be nothing." ”

Back on the bed, pulling up the quilt, Cutting Yun forced himself to close his eyes, but a blurred figure of a woman appeared in front of him.

She was shocked, and when she opened her eyes again, she found that the candle flame she had just lit had gone out again.

Fear was like a claw, grappling with Cutting Cloud's heart. She wanted to close her eyes, but she was afraid to close them, so she clung to the quilt so tightly, half-opened her eyes, and stayed up until dawn. Seeing that the window was gradually turning white, and there was a sound outside the door, she closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

When I woke up, I was much better. She stretched, quickly dressed, opened the door and froze there.

Outside the door, it is not the corridor of the Begonia Courtyard, but a wilderness. The white was not daylight, but the white moonlight, and a thin layer of red mist floated on the ground, and a grass hut could be seen in the distance.

"How so?"

Cutting Yun subconsciously retreated into the room, closed the door, and pressed his back tightly. Cold sweat grew from the palms of his hands.

She thought about it carefully, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong. She is a girl from Begonia Courtyard, because of the master, she has not received guests for a long time, but other sisters are different, they have no support, and they always have to laugh. In other places, it is lively during the day and quiet at night, but the Begonia Courtyard is lively at night and quiet during the day. But since she woke up for the first time, the courtyard was quiet, there was no laughter from the guests, no drama by the girls, and no silk and bamboo vocal music, and wine cups hitting each other.

Could it be that she has been in her dreams all the time and has never woken up?

"Sister...... Sister ......"

"Who?"

"It's me! What, you don't remember me? Also, after so many years, I forgot that I actually have a sister. ”

The faint sound kept drilling into the ears of the clouds.

"Who are you? You don't have to scare me, I know, I'm in a dream. When you wake up, you'll be gone! ”

"Dreams? What is a dream and what is reality? When my sister pushed me off the cliff, did you ever think that it was a dream? When my sister tricked me into the castle tower and put a rope around my neck, did you ever hope that it would be a dream? When my sister peeled off my face, she told herself that it was just a dream. My sister didn't think about it, but my sister did. My sister hopes that these are just dreams, and when I wake up, you and I are still the same as when we were children, back to back, singing songs. ”

"Shut up! I don't have a sister, I never have a sister! ”

Cutting Yun hissed and stepped out of the room.

In the pale moonlight, a strange face suddenly appeared in front of her. Cutting Yun was startled and sat down on the ground. When she tried to get up, she felt something cold against her back.

"Back to back, it's so warm. Sister, do you remember this feeling? ”
