Chapter 61: Spirit Chamber
That shout can be described as a landslide and a crack, and the entire Du Mansion can hear Du Ningyue's angry voice: "Seventh Uncle!! Don't fight, come here, Sister Moyan is back, he didn't lie to you. ”
Du Zhanli, who was chasing after his little servant, stopped his pursuit in disbelief when he heard this, and his eyes turned in the direction where Du Ningyue was.
In the pavilion, the girl was dressed in a red light veil, and a slight breeze blew through the corners of her skirt, and the corners of the skirt were like dancing butterflies, changing into various wonderful shapes with the wind.
The girl stood slim in that pavilion, her eyebrows and eyes were still the same eyebrows, but they were more bright and moving than when she left the house, like the most brilliant lotus flower that had opened.
No matter how many people stood in the crowd, he could always see at a glance that it was the girl of their Du family. That's their Du family's girl.
Something wet suddenly slipped from the corners of Du Zhanli's eyes, and the surging tears suddenly blurred Du Zhanli's eyes without warning.
With trembling steps, Du Zhanli walked up to Du Moyan step by step, and looked deeply at this bright and noble girl, Du Zhanli stopped his tears.
"It's good to be back! Xue Xue is thinking of our Du family in the end. Just come back. Du Zhanli patted Du Moyan on the shoulder, his throat choked, and he couldn't say any more superfluous words.
Du Moyan looked at his seventh uncle's tears, and showed a sweet smile: "Seventh uncle, don't you see that I came back without missing arms and legs?" Why are you crying on this good day, shame and shame. ”
Hooking his cheeks, Du Moyan made a strange grimace at Du Zhanli. This ghost girl's elf is eccentric, and it successfully dispelled Du Zhanli's heavy emotions.
It also made Du Zhanli's tearful face instantly full of smiles, and seeing Du Zhanli's successful laughter, Du Ningyue, a little clever ghost, suddenly jumped out.
"Uncle Seven is really moody, hey! Shameful. The little girl's playful voice sounded among the many Du family members, which made the Du family members who hurried to the pavilion laugh.
"Little girl Ning Yue is right, she has taken over my shift, and she is still so unstable, I really doubt how I fell in love with this old leather monkey before."
The old man, with a little crying and laughing, came from behind many Du family members, and the Du family turned around in surprise when they heard this voice.
Sure enough, Mr. Du, who had stepped down a year ago and was idle at home...... Du Hanting, with a serious face, stood behind many people.
"Grandpa!" Du Moyan pounced on him with a happy face, hugged Du Hanting, and the old man hugged his granddaughter who grew up.
After a while, he let go of her, and his tone was full of disgust: "What a big girl this is, and she still sticks to me, an old man, a big skin monkey, a small skin monkey." ”
Old Man Du had a happy expression on his face, and said angrily at the uncle and nephew. When many Du family members heard this, they all laughed out loud again.
After many Du family members saw their own Dinghai Divine Needle, they all hurried back, their Du family is not the Bai family, even now as the first family of the Northern Underworld, everyone is also conscientious and will never abuse their power.
I won't do anything to tease the people's girls, and when they see Du Moyan, they should also go back to each of them and do their own things dutifully.
When everyone dispersed one after another, Du Moyan followed Du Hanting back to his courtyard, and after greeting his grandson and grandson.
Du Moyan finally asked the question she had always wanted to ask. After staring at his grandfather for a long time, Du Hanting, an old man, naturally saw that his granddaughter was hiding something in her heart.
Unhurriedly took a sip of tea, Du Hanting put the teacup in his hand on the table, and said in a casual tone: "If there is anything you want to ask me, just ask." ”
As soon as Du Hanting opened his mouth, Du Moyan didn't hide it anymore: "Grandpa, are you really sure that my father and mother are both ...... After a pause, Du Moyan still said those two words that were a little sad for this old man.
"Both... He's dead? When he said these two words, Du Moyan felt that he had exhausted all his strength, and could only stare nervously at the old man opposite.
Du Hanting listened to his granddaughter's question, and closed his eyes a little sadly, about his own son, which he didn't want to mention in his life.
However, since the granddaughter asked, she had the obligation to tell her everything, after all, they were her biological parents.
With a long sigh, Du Hanting fell into his own memories.
"That's... One summer twenty-three years ago, your father, who was full of spirit and beat the entire Northern Underworld of the same age, was praised by the Bai family as a genius that is rare in a thousand years. Countless girls in the imperial capital were fascinated by him. ”
There was pride in the old man's eyes, as if he remembered his son's scorching demeanor.
Du Moyan sat quietly on the side, listening to his grandfather describe to him the father who had passed away without ever met.
"That's right, your father left for a year, and he came back a year later, but he still brought two peony-like girls, and even if those two girls were the princesses of the Bai family, who were known as the first beauty of the Northern Underworld, they were far from comparable."
Du Hanting raised his old eyes again, and there was a moment of distraction in his eyes, as if he had really been amazed by the two girls he had been.
"That's... Two girls, a... Is it my mother?" Du Moyan couldn't help but interject and asked.
"At that time, both girls liked your father, I can see this, but your father's stunned young man obviously likes the girl who looks more noble and magnificent."
Speaking of this, Du Hanting seemed to think of something, got up from the chair, turned his hand and walked into the room, Du Moyan followed behind him with some curiosity.
Du Hanting walked to the cabinet in the deepest part of the room, "stabbed", opened the seal sealed on it, and took out a painting scroll from it.
The appearance of the painting scroll made Du Moyan's eyes freeze for a moment, and before she could say the guess in her heart, Du Hanting had already turned around and said to herself.
"This is the only portrait of your mother." At the same time as Du Hanting's words fell, he handed over the painting scroll in his hand that looked like he already had some sense of age into Du Moyan's hands.
With trembling hands, Du Moyan spread out the picture scroll in a very complicated way.
In front of her eyes, she was a woman with bright eyes and bright teeth, with a bright smile, and she was dressed in a capable ordinary female cultivator's clothes, but this did not affect her beauty.
Even the most common nuns' clothing is like a priceless splendid dress worn on her, and the woman is born with a luxurious but fresh and refined atmosphere, which makes people reluctant to take their eyes off at a glance.
What beautiful waves are rippling in those pair of watery autumn pupils, a pair of divine eyes, and Du Moyan's eyes, it seems that there are about seven points.
"A year later, the two women followed your father away from the Night, never to return." When Du Hanting talked about this past, the usually majestic back suddenly aged a little in an instant.
This man who lost his wife at an early age and a child in middle age, after experiencing the most unlucky thing in his life, has supported the family for decades for a granddaughter.
This made Du Moyan's eyes moisten, and looking at his grandfather's already somewhat rickety back, Du Moyan's nose was sour.
"Grandpa, don't say it, I won't listen, I won't look for it, I just want grandpa, don't listen to it." Du Moyan said with a particularly uncomfortable heart.
"No, child, you have to know these things sooner or later, they are your parents, and you have the most right to know their affairs." Du Hanting looked at his sensible granddaughter.
A hint of relief flashed in the cloudy old eyes, at least this little granddaughter, she is still alive and well, and even became the pride of the Du family.
The old man sat back in his seat again, trying to straighten his back, and the words he said became closer and closer to the truth that Du Moyan wanted to know.
"I don't know what happened to your father? He came back two years later, bloodied, with you in his hands as an infant. Du Hanting slowly narrated.
"And then, father?" Du Moyan listened to his grandfather's story a little nervously, and couldn't help but pinch a cold sweat for his father.
"Later..." Du Hanting's words paused slightly, and his hand squeezed the teacup on the table even tighter.
"Then he left, and then, three years later, on the day you were three years old, one of the people who left with him brought back his bloody clothes, and I never saw your father again."
By the time the old man had said this, tears were already streaming down his wrinkled face. However, because his granddaughter was in front of him, Du Hanting wiped his tears a little embarrassed, trying not to make himself look so sad.
He is a dead son, but his poor little granddaughter not only has a dead father, but also a mother. As soon as he thought of this, Du Hanting's heart hurt like a pinprick in the heart.
Du Moyan hugged the gray-haired old man in his arms, patted him lightly on the back, and waited for his grandfather's emotions to calm down.
The old man quickly calmed down, after all, his tears had completely ended when he had just learned the little news.
Noticing that Grandpa's expression had recovered, Du Moyan still raised his own question: "Grandpa, if one of the two women is standing in front of you, you can recognize it, right?" ”
Du Moyan finally gritted his teeth and opened his mouth. She knew what kind of pain her question would bring to the old man, but there were some things that she had to figure out all this time.
For example, about whether his parents are still alive or not.
Listening to Du Moyan's words, Du Hanting was so cloudy that an incredible light flashed in his old eyes, and his hand trembled slightly.
"You mean? Say? Du Hanting didn't dare to continue the conjecture that was about to come out. After being stunned for a long time, Du Hanting's face suddenly straightened, and his tone became serious.
"As long as she stood in front of me, I could tell if she was the other girl back then."
Du Hanting's categorical answer successfully calmed Du Moyan's heart that was jumping up and down. Her mind slowly sank to the Nirvana Tower in the sea of knowledge.
"Hey! Woman, are you here? After teasing Qingying and the two, Qian Nie, who came out to walk around and scourge a few spirit fruits, greeted his host in a friendly manner.
He also had a freshly baked soul core in his mouth. The chubby little face is filled with a big smile.
didn't care about managing this little guy and stealing his own spirit fruit, in Qiannie's exclamation, Du Moyan lifted him up and hung it in his hand.
At this time, her face had a solemn look that Qian Nie had never seen before, which made the flame that Qian Nie wanted to scold her was instantly extinguished.
